Before leaving Chunqiu Academy, Xia Sheng had already expected that he might encounter some surprises during his trip because he made too many enemies and the news of leaving the mountain this time would definitely not be hidden.

Therefore, Xia Sheng was so in a hurry all the way, and after going down the mountain, he went to two places in total.

Shantang, Baima Temple.

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

This is no longer an assassination, but an open intention to bury him in Guihua Lane!

But this is Luoyang!

The capital of the Dajin Dynasty!

Under the feet of the emperor!

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

Who is Xia Sheng?

The younger sister-in-law of the Marquis of Weining, a distinguished guest of Shantang, an honorary teacher of the Chunqiu Academy, and more importantly, he was the Prince's Grand Tutor of the Imperial Palace!

Killing him is to be enemies with the Ye family, Qin family, and academy at the same time, which is equivalent to beating His Majesty the Emperor in the face!

Who dares to do this!

In later history books, the battle at Guihua Lane was also vague, which became the biggest mystery in the world after the death of the Regent Luoqiu and the death of Emperor Gaozong of Jin during hundreds of years of the Great Jin Dynasty.

No one knew what force was from that Ye that day, and he sent so many assassins to kill Xia Sheng at all costs.

This incident caused a lot of controversy among historians in later generations. Based on Xia Sheng's resume at that time and a series of major events that happened later, some people believe that the assassins actually came from the Judgment Office, some people think that they were from the Eastern Palace, some people think that they were from the Tianxingyuan, or the Manchu and Wu tribes who lurked in the Dajin Dynasty, and some people even think that it was the action of the spys who were personally issued by Emperor Renzong.

But the final result was that no one could convince others, and this matter became an eternal puzzle.

Because neither party involved made the truth about that night public.

Xia Sheng is not a conceited person, but he has his own pride. In the face of any accident, he can remain calm and not be surprised when changing.

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

But this was the most severe crisis he had encountered in this life.

Even more dangerous than the battle between Wangguilin and the battle with the ruling Si Ling Emperor Cheng Liran.

Because when he was forgetting to return to the forest, he was surrounded by his peak period.

When he was in duel with Cheng Liran, he had the help of Huaian, the flag guard, and Meng Qi's protection.

But now, he has only one person.

And there were seven killers lurking in the dark night.

The seven assassins have different realms and strengths, but the weakest one is also a king-level strongman!

In this way, the other party was determined to kill and did not leave a way out for Xia Sheng at all.

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

Now, all he could rely on were Qiongsang, Dijiang, Mingshaqi, and Haoran Sword.

And these things are far from enough to make him escape.

Because at the same time when Xia Sheng stopped, a figure was already walking in the distance. The other party had only one person, but it seemed that Xia Sheng felt oppression like a thousand troops.

That was a powerful man at the peak of the Martial Emperor.

Going further, it is Venerable.

This is also the strongest of the seven killers present.

More importantly, Xia Sheng knew this person.

Perhaps the word "knowledge" is not particularly accurate. After all, the two of them only met one time, but at least through this person, Xia Sheng knew who was going to kill him tonight.

Before this, Yu Xiasheng had many speculations in his mind.

The first thing that needs to be ruled out is the Judgment Department.

Because if Yin Shizhen discovered that he had attacked Cheng Liran and Mo Lin that day, there would be no need to assassinate him at all, he just needed to capture him openly and approach the black prison.

The second person who is relatively unlikely is the people worshipped by Wei.

Today, Qin Family Good Hall. With Qin Zehan unjustly burying himself in the wilderness and Qin Siye took office, the confidant forces that Wei Chongfeng had originally stayed in the capital have been completely removed. Even Qin Ran, the eldest son of the Qin family, fled from Luoyang like a dead dog, and naturally it was impossible for him to gather such great power to deal with Xia Sheng.

Then, there are very few options left.

Only Zhong Weiwei can hate Xia Sheng so much and want to kill him so quickly.

Those who can learn about Xia Sheng’s resignation at the first time and make corresponding arrangements must be the only ones from the Chunqiu Academy.

In other words, Pei Yuanji is the most suspicious.

Of course, Pei Yuanji is still in Chunqiu Academy at this moment, so it is naturally impossible to go to Guihua Lane in person, but many things do not necessarily need to be done by yourself. Pei Yuanji only needs to talk, so there will naturally be someone in the Pei family who will share his worries.

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

Because the Pei family owns one of the only two remaining holy ranks in the Dajin Dynasty today, the Sword Saint, Pei Xu!

But Pei Yuanji had clearly agreed with Xia Sheng to decide the victory or defeat on the Life and Death Platform after the Spring Examination. Why can't he wait for half a month and take such a big risk to kill people in the capital?

No one knew what happened to Ling Xiaofeng after Xia Sheng left Chunqiu Academy, and what Zhong Weiwei said to Pei Yuanji, which led to him being disobedient to the court and being angry for the beauty.

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

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

Even though he was in the Forget Returning Forest, the 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 the prince suddenly attacked him after nearly three months. Perhaps it has something to do with him being named the crown prince's grand tutor by the emperor, but he knows that the other party is here to kill him, which is enough.

So the next moment, Xia Sheng suddenly smiled and said, "Why, is Your Highness the Crown Prince preparing to bear the bad reputation of killing the master?"

The other party slowly walked to ten feet in front of Xia Sheng and stood still, and replied with a smile: "I have been missing Mr. Xia for a long time. I was in the Forget Returning to the Forget that day. Mr. Xia tricked me around. But who said, I am the one who wants 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 people here!"
