The news of Xia Huo's death spread quickly, and Xia Jiang and the others, who were in the academy, naturally gradually got the news.

But even so, they did not receive a message from the palace and immediately summoned them back.

"Brother Jiu, I'm so scared of ......" For this matter, several people quickly gathered at Xia Jiang's residence, but Xia Ziqi immediately threw herself into Xia Jiang's arms with some fear.

"Xia Jiang, what's going on?......" Because it was Xia Jiang who summoned everyone over, Xia Yun'er couldn't help but feel that this matter might be a little strange.

Xia Yu on the side also showed a puzzled look and looked at Xia Jiang.

"From the news I got, and then according to my inference, Xia Huo should be a suicide ......" Xia Jiang immediately said the most superficial situation, but then said: "However, with my understanding of Xia Huo, he should not directly admit defeat, even if he admits defeat, he should not choose this way to end himself!"

If it weren't for the many conflicts with Xia Huo, Xia Jiang wouldn't be sure, but it was precisely because of this that he decided that this matter was strange.

In fact, he didn't have to care about Xia Huo's situation, after all, his identity and crime were not far from death sooner or later, and now his sudden death was only in advance.

But everyone knows that if Xia Jiang didn't commit suicide, there must be something wrong with it.

First of all, Xia Jiang is extremely sure, judging from the news, his father will definitely not be involved in this matter, so that is to say, there is someone who is doing something that does not have, or will not get his father's permission at all!

From this, we can guess what goal the person doing this wants to achieve!

Fight for the throne?

The summer fire is clearly no longer a threat!

And nowadays, only the "throne", the most important thing at the moment, is covetous, and it is easy to cause accidents!

So in this way, there is only one possibility, the other party is killing people and covering up something, so as to definitely benefit someone who is fighting for the throne!

Xia Jiang quickly calculated to this point, and it was also at this moment that he had to immediately point the finger at someone!

Everyone looked at Xia Jiang with his eyes closed, as if he was secretly analyzing clues, and most of them looked nervous.

Everyone knows that it is now in the battle for the throne, and Xia Jiang is definitely one of the strong competitors at present, and at this time, anything may affect his competition.

Xia Xin, the thirteenth prince on the side, couldn't help frowning, and said, "Ninth brother, your perception and inference abilities are so strong, can you go back and investigate this matter?" He has also learned more and more about Xia Jiang recently, and knows that he has a strong point in this regard.

Xia Jiang heard Xia Xin's question, but he suddenly realized that the thirteenth brother was reprimanded by himself, although he was strong and hardworking, but he still did not have the heart to fight for the king.

Ay......

Sighing secretly, Xia Jiang also shook his head immediately, and showed his certain attitude: "Thirteen, if you can improve a little, Brother Nine may have gone to the palace now!" That's right, if Thirteen has hope, he has the confidence to assist Thirteen to ascend the throne, but the other party has not made any achievements so far, if he goes, he will most likely lag behind Xia Lei, let the other party's momentum rise, and then even he will fall behind in the battle for the throne.

That's right, even if he personally competes for the throne, he must not let it be given to Xia Lei!

This is Xia Jiang's decision.

Sure enough, after listening to Xia Jiang's words, Xia Xin said with some shame: "Thirteen is not talented, let the ninth brother down......"

However, Xia Ziqi was stunned to understand the conversation between the two at this moment, but he was very puzzled, looked up at Xia Jiang and said, "Brother Jiu, don't you want to be a king, what's so bad about being a king?"

Faced with Ziqi's question, Xia Jiang didn't know how to explain, after all, Ziqi didn't understand anything, so he had to pat his head and lead the topic away: "I haven't said anything about you yet, you see that everyone's cultivation has improved so much, why haven't you made any progress, do you only know how to eat and play all day long?"

Saying that, Xia Jiang scratched her nose as punishment.

But at this moment, this Xia Ziqi suddenly looked very aggrieved, and said: "No, people have worked very hard to cultivate, but it's just ......" Qi said, swept everyone, and found that everyone was more than a star and a half higher than her cultivation, originally she wanted to find a reason, but this gap made her heart sad, and she couldn't help crying.

Originally, it was just to divert the topic a little, but I didn't expect to make Ziqi cry, Xia Jiang suddenly couldn't help but get nervous, and hurriedly comforted: "Ziqi Ziqi, in fact, Brother Jiu didn't mean that, don't cry, don't cry!"

But Xia Jiang said this, obviously it had no effect, because this sadness was not originally because of his blame.

On the other hand, Xia Yun'er was more focused, and after looking at Xia Ziqi for a while, she knew the reason, and immediately signaled to Xia Jiang with her eyes.

Xia Jiang and Xia Yun'er glanced at each other, and immediately understood the reason, and couldn't help but secretly feel ashamed that they didn't care enough about Ziqi, and hurriedly patted Ziqi's back, blaming themselves and reassuring: "Okay, Ziqi is good, it's all Brother Jiu's fault, Brother Jiu promised you that I will help you cultivate when I have time in the future, and strive to help you catch up with everyone, what do you think?"

Originally, she was still very sad, but hearing Xia Jiang actually say such words, especially when she could accompany her to cultivate, it suddenly made her happy in her heart, and she burst into laughter, but immediately pouted and pretended to be angry: "Then what if you lie to me?"

"Lie to you?......" Xia Jiang said that he already knew that it was done, and hurriedly said with a sigh of relief: "Of course I won't lie to you, I will be ...... if I lie to you" But just about to habitually say "puppy", Xia Jiang found that something was wrong, this kind of talk doesn't seem to be very popular in this world.

"Uh, what is it?" Ziqi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked.

It was the first time for a few people to see Xia Jiang so deflated, but they secretly snickered, and they also wanted to hear what he would say.

Xia Jiang was also impressed by Xia Ziqi's cute appearance, and secretly felt a certain touch, and he couldn't care about his image at heart, so he said: "It's a pig!"

In this world, pigs are mostly a dish, but dogs are fierce beasts in the jungle, and in Xia Jiang's previous life concept, pigs are not as good as dogs, and compared with image and morality, there is no chance of winning.

Obviously, it was the first time to hear this self-gambling curse mode, and several people looked at each other, and Xia Ziqi was even more happy, and immediately said loudly: "Everyone has heard it, if Brother Jiu lies to me, it will be uh-huh...... Pigs!"

Belch......

Feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Xia Jiang secretly shook his head and had to announce that everyone would rest first and put this matter down first.

Alone, he had to think about it again.

In the following time, everyone basically began to stay in their own places and concentrate on cultivation, and no longer went out, so as not to encounter misfortunes similar to summer fires.

Among them, Xia Jiang also completed the task without pressure, quickly became a quasi-university president, and got another task to promote the university president.

It's just that this task is a bit difficult, but it requires him to run a business and become a talking point in the business world, that is, to become a celebrity, and at the same time, to have a companion who is in line with the identity of a business tycoon.

As long as he meets these two conditions at the same time, he can immediately jump up and become the official dean of only a dozen in the entire academy!

However, it is a bit of a pity that it is obvious that Xia Jiang does not have time to quickly complete this goal for the time being, because now, it has arrived...... Month.

In the last two days of the month, he would definitely not do anything second except to climb on the back of the Frog King and leap to the Xia King's Palace.

When he came to the palace, Xia Jiang was also extremely confident, he had also investigated, and knew that Xia Lei had worked hard, and his current identity was only a quasi-university president, and he didn't know how much manpower and material resources were used, and he was barely strong.

Xia Jiang came to the outside of the Taichang Hall and found that almost all the heavy officials had already arrived, and they waited patiently here a day in advance.

Without exception, Xia Jiang also saw the figures of the brothers, among which the most conspicuous was naturally that Xia Lei, who seemed to be full of confidence?

"Ninth brother, I haven't seen you for half a month, your cultivation has faintly improved and improved, and it is even more unfathomable, so that the eldest brother can't see through it at all!"

As he spoke, Xia Xia stepped forward a few steps and stood in front of Xia Jiang.

"Where ......" Seeing that it was summer, Xia Jiang was immediately relieved, and said, "I don't know if the eldest brother has been recuperating in the palace these days, but what is worth saying?" Xia Jiang naturally referred to Xia Huo.

I also knew that Xia Jiang would definitely ask this question, but this summer was hehe, looking very relaxed, but also mysterious: "It's nothing, but the ninth brother can look forward to it, there will be an announcement tomorrow!"

"Hmm!" Xia Jiang heard this, but he couldn't help but be stunned, he could hear the deep meaning of Xia's words, the other party actually knew the truth behind this matter!

This made Xia Jiang get an unexpected surprise, originally he was still a little worried that after a long time, the traces and clues would naturally fade, and it was easy to fall into the confusion, but now it seems that Xia is in the palace and will not sit idly by.

But not far away, hearing the conversation between the two of them, Xia Lei shrugged his shoulders silently, and seemed to be very disdainful.

It's just that he didn't make a sound, and if outsiders didn't pay attention, they wouldn't see anything, and even if they saw something, they wouldn't feel anything, after all, there was a private struggle between their brothers, wasn't it a normal thing?

As time passed little by little, when the early hours of the morning approached, everyone finally arrived, including some people with some mysterious colors such as Uncle Wang, Princess Tefeng, and concubines who had been in retreat all year round, and they all gathered here in an orderly manner at this moment.

The atmosphere, as everyone arrived, became extremely tense and depressed.

"It seems...... This is a great honor for the king, and it is a great honor for the king to be on time today!" It was in this tense and oppressive atmosphere that everyone heard a thunderous voice in the hall at the same time, before the time had yet to come.
