Belch!

Xia Yan's attack at this moment was completely beyond Xia Jiang's expectations, he originally just wanted Xia Yan to turn back, or to be able to help him do something beneficial to him as a gratitude, such as revealing a little bit about Xia Lei's dark side or something.

But I didn't expect him to attack directly and kill Xia Lei?

And even Xia Jiang didn't expect it, so you can imagine how everyone at the scene would know, and Xia Xia on the side and Xia Xiong not far away also raised their eyebrows, revealing a look of surprise.

In this case, if Xia Yantong guò really killed Xia Lei in this raid, what would happen, there would only be one result, that is, he Xia Jiang would also be inexplicably implicated, and it would be difficult to clear up if he jumped into the Yellow River, and he would be shamed by everyone.

Therefore, of course, Xia Jiang couldn't tolerate this kind of thing happening, and he took action almost immediately.

Everyone, seeing Xia Jiang's figure flashing, came to Xia Yan's side, then waved his hand, and then elegantly led Xia Yan away from the vicinity of Xia Lei and came to the area close to the prison.

And when he checked it at this moment, he found that in Xia Jiang's hand, he was holding a bead glowing with dark green and blood-red light, which was an extremely terrifying secret weapon magic weapon at first glance.

"What are you doing?" was taken away by Xia Jiang, making the attack ineffective, this Xia Yan suddenly swept towards Xia Jiang completely puzzled: "You actually stopped me from killing him?" As he spoke, his gaze immediately followed Xia Lei in the distance.

At this moment, I saw that Xia Lei's whole body had been wrapped in layers of white mist, and it was obviously a defensive magic weapon that broke out in an instant.

"Presumptuous! Xia Yan, do you still dare to do this in front of your second brother?!" Xia Xiong on the side suddenly roared, and came to the two of them in a flash, and kicked out towards Xia Yan with one kick.

After all, the cultivation is a gap, and Xia Yan is just an assassin who takes the path of assassination and sneak attack, and facing any opponent head-on is a disadvantage, so he almost didn't react, and was kicked away by Xia Xiong.

Thundered!

The whole person flew upside down and crashed into the special metal structure of the prison, causing a violent shock.

Seeing that King Xia Xiong was angry, all of a sudden, the originally suppressed discussion below stopped again and became quiet again.

"Father's ......"

This is obviously not the scene that Xia Jiang wants to see, Xia Yan doesn't need to do this at all, as long as he casually reveals a little bit of Xia Lei, the other party will be enough to choke, and now that he is like this, then Xia Lei will really hide from the sky and cover the sky with one hand.

But before Xia Jiang could say anything, Xia Xiong waved his hand to stop him: "Xiao Jiu, don't say it, this kind of person is not worthy of your support for him!"

As he spoke, his gaze immediately turned to everyone and continued: "Officials from various states, according to Xia Xiao's rebellion, a large-scale investigation will be conducted from this day on. First, all important personnel involved in Xia Xiao's rebellion must be thoroughly investigated and arrested by the rest of the party, inside and outside the palace; second, all officials who have supported Xia Huo behind the scenes will be demoted at the least, or dismissed from office and exiled at the worst; third, the Wanbao Pavilion will be raided, and the relevant foreign businessmen will be investigated, and once suspicious persons are discovered, they will be immediately prosecuted and reported!"

"Obey the order!"

"Obey the ......"

The more than 100 people below seem to have already realized that when this matter is announced, there will be a big movement, and they have to be very cautious, so when they hear the announcement, they all react quickly.

And immediately afterwards, Xia Xiong continued to change the posture of sitting and watching just now, and immediately signaled: "Recorder, is it enough to announce the selection of the prince?"

"If you go back to the king, it will be enough!" said the recorder, glancing at the record book in his hand.

Then, without waiting for the king to speak again, another official immediately announced loudly: "After a total of one hundred and twelve officials present, together with three uncles and thirty-six princes and princesses, it has been concluded that the best candidate for the crown prince of my Great Xia Kingdom is...... Second Prince Xia Lei!"

Sure enough, it was not much different from what Xia Jiang expected, and under the support rate far exceeded, Xia Lei was directly elected as the prince.

But the more there were no twists and turns, and he was selected so quickly, Xia Jiang felt a little incredible!

It seems that because of this, he failed?

Originally, even if he took the initiative to fight, he was confident that he could win it, but before he could use the real killer move, it was already over?

That's right, this is indeed very different from Xia Jiang's expected competition time, he didn't expect his father to be so hasty, just after the superficial comparison of the three qualifications, he directly announced the candidate for the crown prince, isn't it a bit of a joke?

But although Xia Jiang had many questions at the moment, he couldn't ask, because since his father was so eager, there must be special considerations!

Thinking of this, Xia Jiang, like everyone present, bowed to the king and ended today's assessment of the prince.

And at this moment, the corner of Xia Jiang's eyes was to see that Xia Yan, who was lying on the ground, was shining with an unwilling light in his eyes, looking at Xia Lei, who was a little carried away and silently accepted the prince's gift.

Ay......

Looking at Xia Yan's eyes, Xia Jiang couldn't help but sigh: At that moment, the other party seemed to want to help him and kill Xia Lei directly, it didn't matter if he took down the crime of killing his brother, but it was also brainless, no matter whether he succeeded or failed in doing so, he Xia Jiang would only fall into a disadvantageous situation.

But Xia Jiang didn't blame this Xia Yan, the other party was indeed in a good mood at that moment, although he didn't use it in the right direction, but it was enough.

"Xia Jiang, although the eldest brother admires your talent, I have to say that your table today is ......"

Knowing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, seeing that most of the people had dispersed, Xia had to vomit out his unhappiness in his heart, originally according to his plan, Xia Jiang would never be defeated so completely even if he failed.

According to Summer's plan, even if Xia Jiang fails in the end because of the lack of support, it will at least leave an extremely deep impression on this night, and if there is another chance in the future, Xia Jiang can replace Xia Lei at any time.

"Big Brother ......"

Xia Jiang also deeply understood Summer's intentions at this moment, but he shook his head extremely indifferently and said: "Instead of saying this, the ninth brother wants to know, doesn't the eldest brother think something is wrong?"

However, listening to Xia Jiang's words, this summer was shocked, like a frightened bird, and even glared at Xia Jiang to signal his words.

Really!

In Xia Jiang's opinion, it is impossible for Xia not to notice it at all, after all, his father has attached great importance to the choice of the prince from before to the beginning of today, and during this period, his father has been silent as a bystander, which makes him suspicious, and then suddenly announces the result, which makes Xia Jiang feel extremely wrong.

All these signs indicate that there must have been something unavoidable about his father's actions.

At the suggestion of Summer, the two quickly left the place and came to his mansion.

"Xiao Jiu, what did you find? I also observed my father's abnormality, but I just don't know what's going on!"

Xia Jiang closed his eyes slightly, recalling the scene when he swept the audience many times, and returned to the scene of his father's last speech, and said slowly: "I don't know if the eldest brother listened carefully to his father's words, originally the main thing was to locate the prince, and other things can be said later, the positioning of the prince will not affect his authority, but he deliberately gave those orders before announcing the prince! And ......"

"What?" As soon as Xia Jiang heard about Xia Jiang's discovery of many details, he immediately resonated, and his suspicion became more and more serious.

"I listened to my father...... There is a mention of 'foreign merchants'!" Xia Jiang pondered, his eyes turned, and swept in the direction outside the palace.

Foreign......

That's right, what Xia Jiang can think of is that if his father is under any coercion and has any huge suffering, then there is only one possibility, that is, the election of the prince of their Xia Kingdom today is probably fishing out some bigger hidden dangers, and it may even be ...... This is simply arranged by his father, and the purpose is to get to this point today!

Sure enough, it made Xia Jiang faintly feel that he was wise and foolish, and this summer, under Xia Jiang's prompting, his eyes instantly became sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Jiu, you say...... Could this be a game of chess that my father is secretly playing?"

“......”

Xia Jiang shook his head, although he thought of more and more doubts, but he was still not sure.

First of all, the first point is that the reason for "establishing a prince" mentioned by his father Wang at the beginning is a bit far-fetched! Second, he Xia Jiang has the merit of being a savior and has achievements and abilities that are absolutely worthy of recognition, but he has not been able to get any comfort and evaluation when he has lost the competition for the prince? Moreover, Xia Yan, who swore to defend his dignity to the death, suddenly attacked Xia Lei, and his father actually ignored it and directly abolished the other party, which is too unreasonable!

Many suspicious points are all showing that there is a problem with this whole Lichu incident!

"Xia Jiang, what are you going to do?" Seeing that Xia Jiang fell silent, Xia's tone changed again, and he asked a little eagerly.

Indeed, if there is a problem with this matter, then it must also be urgent.

"I'll go see my father immediately and ask him directly in person!" After thinking for a while, Xia Jiang immediately said.

Hearing Xia Jiang say this, Xia Ye immediately nodded and said, "Then you go quickly, I will immediately go to the area around the palace to see if there is anything abnormal!"

"Then you be careful...... Xia Jiang said, casually took out a small magic weapon from his body, and handed it to the other party: "If there is something, I can know it as soon as possible!"

didn't say anything, after taking Xia Jiang's magic weapon in the summer, the whole person left his mansion first and swept in a certain direction.

Xia Jiang looked at the direction he was going, not the direction outside the palace, but an ordinary and inconspicuous direction, but Xia Jiang knew that he was hiding his eyes and ears from preventing possible startling snakes in case he was discovered.

Demon Body Incarnation!

After Xia left, Xia Jiang also immediately took action, because of the premonition of the tense situation, he had to use the extracorporeal incarnation technique that he had not tried since entering the demon body.

The technique of incarnation outside the body, in fact, can be used as early as the Great Perfection of his demon blood state, but at that time, it was just to create a mirror puppet, and there was no independent thinking at all, but now it is different, he in the state of the demon body, but he can let the incarnation outside the body have a certain thinking ability.
