Xia Jiang had only heard about the queen before, but when he saw the queen herself, he was stunned, he found that at close range, the queen looked more like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and between that naughty smile, it was impossible to guess that her actual age was more than forty.

It's really incredible, but it was during Xia Jiang's investigation that he immediately confirmed that the other party's cultivation was really strong, and it was actually in the realm of a major cultivator!

However, seeing Xia Jiang's eyes changing drastically when he looked at her, the other party did not react at all from the Great Cultivator, but was like an ordinary person, extremely curious about his Demon Devouring Sword.

Suddenly, Xia Jiang had a creepy feeling, he just wanted to stay away from this kind of magic weapon of rejuvenation.

If he hadn't gone deeper, he would have thought that the other party was just pretending on the surface, but under checking him, he found that the other party really even had a heart and mind stagnating with the improvement of cultivation, and even showed signs of regression, and the whole person was like a cultivation machine that would not age, losing the changes in human nature, giving people a chilling feeling.

Xia Jiang didn't stay long, not that he was really afraid, but that he wanted to tell his father about it immediately.

Soon, Xia Jiang came to the secret basement that day, but to some surprise, he did not find the exact location, but the old general who appeared with him waited for him to enter.

Obviously, the entrance to the secret underground chamber was not fixed.

"Tell my father, the child has already discovered something! If the child guesses correctly, among the many brothers, the identity of the third brother will be the most suspicious!" Xia Jiang said, his eyes immediately flashed, and his inferences and judgments were passed on without reservation.

However, hearing Xia Jiang's report, Xia Xiong's reaction was not big, he just looked at Xia Jiang approvingly for a while, and said, "Then what do you want to do next?"

Well?

Xia Jiang was stunned by his father's indifferent reaction, and suddenly realized that he was afraid that his father had already known about it, and immediately said: "Of course, we will continue to investigate, and we will arrest Xia Huo and bring him back to the palace for interrogation!"

Hearing Xia Jiang say this, Xia Xiong still didn't make much movement, and said, "Then what?" just as he spoke, a token escaped from the side.

Xia Jiang's eyes swept over the token, and before he could pay attention, he said: "There is also Concubine Hui, the child suspects that this person is disloyal to his father and has great ambitions, and he must be arrested back!"

Hearing Xia Jiang say this sentence without fear, Xia Xiong's eyes flashed at this moment, and he handed out the token and said: "Xiao Jiu, I didn't expect that it was not your eldest brother who got this token, but since this is the case, then do it according to your ideas, but remember! This matter can be big or small, if you are not capable, you must understand the difficulty and retreat!"

When Xia Jiang heard this, he immediately took the token, checked it, and immediately found that it was the "Zhong" character soldier.

Xia Jiang had heard that there were five major talismans in the hands of his father, which were divided into east, west, north, south, and middle, representing a large area of towns inside and outside the palace, and all the generals would obey this talisman, followed by the four continents in the southeast, northwest, and north.

Unexpectedly, his father actually gave him this most important talisman, which was like a heavy trust, and a heavy responsibility had been pressed on him.

"Thank you, father, but the child has something unclear, I don't know what it can be big or small?" Hearing his father say this, Xia Jiang really didn't understand, it stands to reason that this matter is a big deal no matter what, originally if it wasn't for his unexpected rise, the most promising ones to inherit the throne in the future are his second and third brothers, and with the support of Xue Yuanzi, Xia Huo seems to be more hopeful than Xia Lei, so there is a huge conspiracy to seek the country.

Obviously, Xia Jiang's doubts were seen, but Xia Xiong didn't say anything, and still only said: "Xiao Jiu, my father is just talking, it depends on your own understanding!"

Hearing that his father didn't want to lead him to some kind of extreme or wrong, he let him deal with it himself, and vaguely, Xia Jiang felt that there seemed to be some kind of hint in it, so he didn't ask any more questions, so he nodded in agreement.

Leaving where his father was, Xia Jiang suddenly felt a little pressure, what he was going to do now was likely to drive the entire Xia Kingdom, if he really encountered any big conspiracy, I am afraid that a big war would inevitably be carried out!

The talisman in his hand obviously told him this-it is conceivable that to make Concubine Hui have the courage to do such a disobedient thing, it must be supported by a big man behind him.

Thinking of this, Xia Jiang also came to the palace guard barracks.

He mobilized thousands of men and began to monitor the palace and beyond, and used his best magic weapon to inform the princes and princesses as soon as they were moved.

After doing this, he immediately went to his new territory and found Cao Kuang.

Cao Kuang managed his Jiangyin City very well in his new territory, and the rapid growth of the local population and the rapid economic development are a huge manifestation of this.

After receiving Xia Jiang's instructions, Cao Kuang immediately handed over the affairs, and then immediately came to the vicinity of the palace with him.

When it comes to many officials, only his old ministry is the most trusted, and Xia Jiangdang even told the specific reason.

Hearing that Xia Jiang told the whole story, Cao Kuang suddenly looked solemn, and at the same time implicitly expressed his congratulations to Xia Jiang, because this means that his father has attached importance to him and has a great advantage in his future battle for the throne.

However, Xia Jiang is of course interested in being able to become the king of a country, but at the moment he doesn't have this idea, his current strength is not strong enough, after all, even his father's strength close to the spiritual cultivator was seriously injured by a sneak attack, what can he do if he has just arrived at the great cultivator?

With Cao Kuang's analysis and deployment, Xia Jiang settled down, rather than bothering to think about it all the time.

After listening to Cao Kuang's analysis for a long time, he said: "According to the subordinates, all the people who have been related to Xia Huo, the Nine Kings must investigate it, and no one can let go, and at the same time, the Three Kings Mansion must also be investigated as quickly as possible......

Hearing Cao Kuang say this, Xia Jiang immediately felt that his thinking was clear, and he immediately sent an elite secret investigation, and he led people to enter the Three Kings' Mansion immediately.

The Three Kings' Mansion, Xia Jiang has never entered, and when he entered it at this moment, he found that the large number of materials originally planted in it were much more valuable than his, and the scale of the mansion was much larger, no wonder the other party's cultivation improved so quickly, and there were so many high-grade materials to assist, it was difficult to think of a "genius"!

As he investigated more deeply, he soon discovered the existence of a secret basement, which surprised the accompanying escorts.

In this secret basement, Xia Jiang found that the space was incomparably huge, and there were all kinds of unexpected traces.

For example, there is a small harem in it, I don't know how many concubines the three princes have hidden; there is also a secret training square, which specializes in training all kinds of killers, white-clothed and black-clothed hidden weapons and equipment, etc., all of which were discovered by Xia Jiang; not only that, but he also found his father's royal robe, as well as various decorations worn by kings, which is simply a naked rebellion.

The rest of Xia Jiang didn't know how many there were, but he felt that this underground space was like an underground palace, which was equivalent to him treating himself as a king!

"Xia Huo, this rebel, I, Xia Jiang, must catch him!" Xia Jiang was shocked, and his heart to capture Xia Huo alive suddenly became even stronger.

As the elites sent out investigated and searched everywhere, they soon arrested more than a dozen people, all of whom were the old subordinates of the third prince and the slaves and maids.

Xia Jiang took all these people to the Three Kings' Mansion and interrogated and examined them one by one.

Tong Guò investigated these people in great detail, and Xia Jiang gradually discovered a clue, the two places where Xia Huo negotiated with the outside the longest were actually Wanbao Pavilion and Jinghua Tower.

Wanbao Pavilion Xia Jiang naturally knows that it is the most popular magic weapon trading market in the Xia Kingdom, and the Mirror Flower Building is a place similar to the gathering of women in the dust, but the identity of the women in it is noble, not the kind of casual woman, in addition to the national color and fragrance, they all have their own cultivation and specialties.

With these two clues, Xia Jiang felt that Xia Huo's whereabouts began to become clear, and he no longer felt like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In addition, he also knew that when he went to the business school, someone robbed them and took them to the second largest capital of the Dugu Empire to study in a martial arts academy, so their cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.

"Nine Kings, we should immediately send someone to the academy to investigate, and guess that Xia Huo should still be in Xia now, we will investigate in three or four directions, and we will definitely be able to find out his location before he is prepared. ”

Cao Kuang drew up a plan for the investigation and handed it to Xia Jiang.

Check it out, even if Xia Jiangdang was dispatched according to the elite Cheng Dù, he conducted a carpet secret investigation of Xia Huo's whereabouts.

......

In the middle of the night that day, a figure skillfully shuttled through an alley in the capital of the Xia Kingdom and came to a small pond.

I saw that in this dark night, this figure was also dressed in black, and when he saw that there were three or four of them in this small pond, he quickly jumped into the second one on the left hand side after probing around.

Puff ......

There was a slight sound of falling water, and the man sank into the pond.

If there were any discerning people now, they would have noticed that many of the water creatures that roamed in this pond during the day were now gone, and were replaced by strange ripples.

This is a private, ordinary residential area that is generally unobtrusive.

At this moment, I saw this figure jump into this pond, but it did not come up again for a long time.

That's right, this man has entered a whole new "world" through this pond, a huge underground space.

After entering it, the man first groped in the darkness, and after a while came to a discontent area of traps, but these traps looked more like corresponding passages.

Sure enough, the man skillfully moved through it, and quickly locked on to a "trap" to step into.

Just as he stepped into the trap, the trap quickly collapsed, bringing it into it. If Xia Jiang was here, he would be familiar with how similar this mechanism was to his father's underground vault.

As soon as this person landed, he immediately shouted: "Pavilion Master, in the next summer fire, I am here to visit!"

And as soon as his voice shouted, in this independent and slightly narrow underground space, it immediately brightened up everywhere, and it became extraordinarily bright, and then when I looked at it, I immediately found that there was an obvious figure movement not far away.
