Chapter 30: The Identity Crisis
Xia couldn't help but be stunned, and then frowned: "What, you are still planning to find an opportunity to assassinate?" ”
"Am I that stupid?"
The masked man laughed, pacing with his hands on his shoulders, and said slowly: "Do you know that Xia Ao once found a person who almost looked exactly like him to be his stand-in?" ”
"Huh? Is there such a thing? ”
Xia Jue's eyes widened, quite surprised.
"yes, I was surprised when I first heard the news."
Xia Jue was silent for a while, and then sighed: "This kind of thing is absolutely secret, but it is this kind of secret thing, you Pixiu Wei can even find out, which shows the strength of Pixiu Wei......"
The masked man squinted at Xia Jue, and said lightly: "Actually, it's a coincidence, almost all the people who originally knew about this matter were wiped out by Xia Ao, leaving only Xu Shang, the head of the Six Princes' Mansion, an insider. ”
Xu Shangzi is Xia Ao's confidant and is loyal to Xia Ao. However, he had an unsuccessful son, and his son inadvertently learned about it. ”
"It just so happens that this person has been developed into an outside line by my Pixiu Wei. This matter was learned from Xu Shang's son. ”
Xia Jue narrowed his eyes and wondered, "But what does this have to do with killing Xia Ao?" ”
The masked man did not answer directly, but said lightly: "Xia Ao's personality has always been cautious, but since more than a month ago, his temperament has suddenly changed greatly, and he has become arrogant and lawless. ”
Xia Jue's pupils shrank and he got up in shock.
"You mean, that stand-in killed Xia Ao and replaced everything in Xia Ao?!"
"I can't rule it out, but it doesn't have to be."
The Masked Man nodded, then shook his head.
"Then since Xia Ao is cautious by nature, how can he have less control over the stand-in? The stand-in wants to turn over, and the possibility is very small. ”
"Maybe Xia Ao did this to create a reason for being assassinated. In this way, he can arrange a fake assassination and let the stand-in die on his behalf, so that he can secretly plan other things, such as taking advantage of the situation to mutiny? ”
Speaking of this, the masked man paused slightly, and then changed his tone.
"Of course, none of that matters. Whether Xia Ao is the stand-in now, or Xia Ao is still Xia Ao, for us, there is not much difference. ”
"Now that we know about it, whether it's true or not, it has to be true in the end - Xia Ao has been replaced by a stand-in!"
"We can use Xu Shang's son to control Xu Shang, and then let Xu Shang personally identify and identify Xia Ao as a stand-in to kill and replace him!"
"With Xu Shang's personal identification, the head of the Six Princes' Mansion, coupled with Xia Ao's huge change in personality and style, I can't help but be disbelieved!"
Hearing this, Xia Jue finally understood.
After his thoughts suddenly became clear, Xia Jie's eyes also brightened.
"That's right! Whether it's true or not, now that we know it, the real Xia Ao has to become a fake! ”
"However, I'm afraid the old emperor won't believe it so simply, if he stabs him directly, even if it is to appease Xiao Hongyuan, he will definitely verify it in detail!"
"So, for the sake of safety, let's find a way to throw it to Xia Feng or Xia Chang, if they know, they will definitely not leave Xia Ao with life!"
"And in this way, Xiao Hongyuan will also spread his anger on them, and we can still reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
"That's a good point."
The masked man threw an appreciative look at Xia Du, then shook his head again.
"Let's leave it to Xia Feng, Xia Chang's side is not very stable."
"The crown princess has had two secret meetings with Xia Ao, and I suspect that they may have reached a secret alliance."
Xia Jue nodded thoughtfully and did not object.
The masked man smiled, and suddenly turned his head to look at the corner of the chamber.
"Wen Tao, tonight should be the day Xu Shang returns home, right? This matter is left to you, and you are personally in charge. ”
Seeing a thin black-robed man emerge from the shadows, Xia Jue's face couldn't help but change.
There was a third person hidden in this secret room, and he still hadn't noticed anything wrong, it was terrifying!
Pixiuwei, it's really terrifying!
"No!"
The black-robed man named Wen Tao respectfully clenched his fists, then took a step back, and once again blended into the shadows.
Xia Jue was already staring hard, but he still didn't notice how Wen Tao disappeared, and he couldn't tell if Wen Tao had left the secret room......
Seeing that Xia Jie's face was a little pale, the masked man smiled silently.
"Wen Tao is one of the most effective generals under the command of this seat, his ability to hide and stealth, even this seat is quite impressive, you are just in the early stage of the virtual body realm, it is normal not to find him."
Listening to the masked man's seemingly relieved but warning introduction, Xia Jue smiled reluctantly and did not speak.
If it were possible, how could he be at the mercy of others?
However, no one in the world could solve that Gu poison, and the power displayed by the Great Jin Dynasty in all aspects made him feel powerless......
……
West Lake, at the door of the empty painting boat, as a woman in a silver dress with both heroism and elegance passed by with a smile, Zhou Ying couldn't help but breathe sluggishly, and felt a little numb in the scalp.
Because he actually felt the terrifying pressure of a giant beast on this woman's body, although it was only fleeting, but it made him feel a kind of illusion of breathlessness.
Just when Zhou Ying's heart was palpitating, he saw a tall blue-robed Taoist priest walking in front of him.
When the eyes of the two met, Zhou Ying suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an incomparably dark abyss, and his body was sinking wildly uncontrollably, so anxious that he wanted to roar and shout wildly, but found that he couldn't even make a sound!
When Zhou Ying came back to his senses with some dizziness, he found that he was still standing at the door of the painting boat in a good manner, but the Taoist priest had disappeared, and only the beads of sweat rolling down his forehead silently reminded him that everything he had just experienced was not an illusion!
He knew that these two people were the ones His Highness was waiting for, but he couldn't help but glance back inside.
When he saw such a terrifying two people saluting Xia Ao with great respect, Zhou Ying couldn't help but be stunned.
Who are they?
Could it be the strong man arranged by the general?
Although there were many doubts in his heart, Zhou Ying did not have the intention to explore.
He is by nature like this, he doesn't ask much about anything, and he doesn't say anything outward.
As long as it is confirmed that these two people will not be unfavorable to His Highness, that is enough.
In the middle of the painting, Xia Ao looked at the two extremely respectful people in front of him and secretly sighed.
Originally, he was worried that these strong people who appeared in some way might be unruly, but now it seems that they should have been planted with some kind of ban, or something else.
Otherwise, such two super powerhouses with terrifying strength would not be respectful to him.
