Before leaving the Spring and Autumn Academy, Xia Sheng had already expected that he might encounter some accidents on his trip, because he had made too many enemies, and the news of his departure from the mountain would definitely not be hidden.

That's why Xia Sheng went all the way to be in such a hurry, and after going down the mountain, he went to two places in total.

Good Hall, White Horse Temple.

But what Xia Sheng didn't expect was that the other party would find out his whereabouts so quickly, and so many people came.

This is no longer an assassination, but an explicit intention to bury him in Osmanthus Lane!

But this is Luoyang!

The capital of the Dajin Dynasty!

At the feet of the Son of Heaven!

Someone dared to commit murder here, and the person who killed it was Xia Sheng!

Who is Xia Sheng?

The little aunt of the Marquis of Weining, the distinguished guest of Shantang, the honorary teacher of the Spring and Autumn Academy, and more importantly, he is the prince and the prince of the royal majesty!

Killing him is to be the enemy of the Ye family, the Qin family, and the academy at the same time, which is equivalent to slapping His Majesty the Emperor in the face!

Who would dare to do that!

In the history books of later generations, the battle of Osmanthus Lane is also unknown, which has also become the biggest mystery in the world during the hundreds of years of the Dajin Dynasty, following the death of the regent Luoqiu and the death of Jingaozong.

No one knew which side of the force that night had dispatched so many assassins to kill Xia Sheng at all costs.

Judging from Xia Sheng's resume at that time and a series of major events that occurred later, some people believe that those assassins were actually from the Ruling Division, some people think that they were from the East Palace, some people think that they came to the Tianxing Academy, or the hands of spies of the Barbarian and Wu clans lurking in the territory of the Dajin Dynasty, and some people even think that it is likely to be an order from Emperor Renzong himself.

But in the end, no one could convince anyone else, and the matter became an eternal mystery.

Because both parties. No one made the truth of that night public.

Xia Sheng is not a conceited person enough, but he has his own pride, and in the face of any accident, he can do it without changing his face and not being surprised.

This was true 30,000 years ago, and it was the same 500 years ago.

But this was, after all, the most serious crisis he had ever faced in his life.

It's even better than forgetting to return to the forest. It is more dangerous than the battle with Cheng Liran, the ruling emperor.

Because when he forgot to return to the forest, he had the poor mulberry of his peak by his side.

When he faced off against Cheng Liran, he had the help of Huai'an, the flag envoy, and the protection of Meng Qi.

But now, he has only one man.

And those killers lurking in the dark night are seven people.

The strength of these seven assassins is different, but the weakest is also a king-level powerhouse!

In this way, the other party is determined to kill. didn't leave Xia Sheng a way out at all.

So at this moment, Xia Sheng's face was very cold, and he was carrying the purple bamboo bell that he had just retrieved from the White Horse Temple in his arms, but in this battle, it was useless at all.

Now, the only things he can rely on are Poor Sang, Dijiang, the Evil Banner, and the Haoran Sword.

And these few things. It wasn't enough to get him out of the way.

Because at the same time that Xia Sheng stopped, there was already a figure in the distance. The other party was obviously only one person, but it seemed to make Xia Sheng feel oppressed like thousands of troops.

It was a Martial Emperor Peak Realm powerhouse.

One step further, there is His Holiness.

This is also the strongest one among the seven killers present.

What's more, Xia Sheng knew this person.

Maybe it's not particularly accurate to use the word "know", after all, the two only have one side relationship. But at least Xia Sheng knew through this person who was going to kill him tonight.

Before this, Yu Xiasheng had a lot of speculation in his heart.

The first thing that needs to be excluded is the adjudication division.

Because if Yin Shizhen found out about his attack on Cheng Liran and Mo Lin that day, there would be no need to assassinate him at all. All you need to do is get him close to the black prison openly.

Secondly, it is less likely that the people enshrined by Wei.

Today's Qin Family Benevolence Hall, with Qin Ze being unjustly buried in the wilderness, Qin Siye ascending to the throne, Wei Feng's cronies who originally stayed in the capital have been completely uprooted, and even Qin Ran, the eldest son of the Qin family, fled from Luoyang like a dead dog, and naturally it is impossible to gather such a great force to deal with Xia Sheng.

Well, there are very few options left.

The only one who can hate Xia Sheng so much and want to kill him quickly is Zhong Weiwei.

And those who can learn the news of Xia Sheng's departure from the mountain at the first time and make corresponding arrangements must only be people from the Spring and Autumn Academy.

In other words, Pei Yuanji's suspicion is the greatest.

Of course, Pei Yuanji is still in the Spring and Autumn Academy at this moment, so it is naturally impossible to go to Osmanthus Lane in person, but many things do not necessarily need to be done by himself, Pei Yuanji only needs to move his mouth, and the Pei family will naturally have someone to share his worries.

Although the Pei family is not among the nine great families of the Dajin Dynasty, no one dares to despise its existence.

Because the Pei family has one of the only two remaining holy orders of today's Dajin Dynasty, the Sword Saint, Pei Xu!

But Pei Yuanji had obviously agreed with Xia Sheng to fight on the stage of life and death after Chunqiu, why couldn't he even wait for half a month, and took such a big risk to kill people in the capital?

No one knows what happened to Ling Xiaofeng after Xia Sheng left the Spring and Autumn Academy, and what Zhong Weiwei said to Pei Yuanji, causing him to not hesitate to offend the imperial court, but also to be angry at the crown.

But there is no doubt that the person who appears in front of Xia Sheng now is indeed a member of the Pei family.

Fortunately, Xia Sheng knew another layer of this person's identity, so he knew very well that it was not Pei Yuanji who really wanted to kill him today.

Even when he was in the Forgotten Forest, this middle-aged man had personally admitted that he was a disciple of the Sword Saint Pei Xu.

But at the same time, he is the prince's man!

Xia Sheng still doesn't know his name, and he doesn't know why after nearly three months, the prince suddenly did something to himself, maybe it has something to do with him being canonized as the crown prince and prince by the emperor, but he knows that the other party is here to kill him, and this is enough.

So in the next moment, Xia Sheng suddenly smiled and said, "What, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ready to bear the notoriety of killing the master?"

The other party slowly walked to Xia Sheng and stood ten feet in front of him, and replied with the same smile: "I haven't seen Xia Gongzi for a long time, and when I was in the forgotten forest, Xia Gongzi deceived me all over the place, but who said that I was the one who wanted to kill you tonight?"

After a pause, the noble man spoke again: "To be honest, before that, I didn't expect to meet so many fellow believers here!"

Hearing this, the smile on Xia Sheng's face suddenly fell, and then he turned around, and the Night Ghost Sword in his hand was already out of its sheath. (To be continued.) )
