It is a long journey from Baima Town to Luoyang City. Even if you keep going day and night, it will take nearly half a month.

Of course, this is for ordinary people.

Xia Sheng and others are not ordinary people, they are practitioners.

If Qin Yan used the speed of the Qingyan Bird, Kang Wuwei walked with the sword and Xia Sheng was entangled with the vines of the seven-sang sect to speed up, they would be able to arrive at the city of Luoyang within five days.

But Xia Sheng couldn't do that.

Not only because they were with the three of them, but also Ning Zheng, who did not understand cultivation.

The more important reason is that Xia Sheng does not want to attract too many people's attention.

Especially the prince's people.

According to the news received by Kang Wuwei from Shantang, Ye Xiaoe has confirmed that she has returned to Luoyang, but nothing has been found about the whereabouts of the ninth prince, namely His Highness Ning, Zhao Chen.

In this way, whether the killers in the Forgetful Forest had already returned to Beijing on that day needed a big question mark.

Even if the person who abducted Xia Hong was not the assassin sent by the prince, in the forest that night, Xia Sheng and the four emperor-level powerhouses and even the mysterious big man had met. Xia Sheng believed that as long as the other party was willing, his identity would be found soon.

At that time, Xia Sheng will be in a very dangerous situation, just Kang Wuwei will definitely not be able to protect him!

The assassination of a prince is definitely not a trivial matter. If the incident is revealed, it will inevitably cause shock to the government and the public, and Long Yan is furious, and even the position of the prince will be lost!

But after Ye Xiao'e returned to Beijing, there was no movement at all, and there was no big change in the court. As usual, it was as if nothing had happened.

Why?

"It is obvious that there is no evidence in Marshal Ye's hands, and the matter is involved in the fight for the throne. If he rashly advises, with His Majesty's suspicious character today, he may suspect that the Marquis's Mansion is involved in the party struggle. This will backfire. Everything must be decided when His Highness Ning returns to Beijing!"

Along the way, Xia Sheng had already come out of the tray of the cause and effect of the Forgetful Revelation Battle, not simply to show his trust in Qin Yan and others, but to him not wanting them to put everyone in a dangerous situation because of their wrong judgment of the situation.

But I never thought that the first person to speak was not Qin Yan, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, nor the old fox Kang Wuwei, but Ning Zheng.

Before this, Kang Wuwei and Qin Yan didn't know much about Ning Zheng, nor did they understand why Xia Sheng had to bring this person with him, but just his words had already made Kang Wuwei look at him differently.

Xia Sheng nodded: "Yes, this is basically consistent with my judgment, so to some extent, my existence has become the most critical evidence in this assassination. If I expected it well, our journey back to Beijing would probably not be too calm."

Kang Wuwei gently unfolded the map in front of him, pointed to somewhere in it, and said, "I have notified my family that as long as we arrive at Yingchuan, the brothers of Shantang will come to pick us up. If the prince's men are chasing us as the gentleman was worried, then the most dangerous time has actually passed. From the moment we left Baima Town, it has almost become an impossible thing for the other party to catch up with us again."

Xia Sheng did not comment on this, but turned around and asked Xiang Ningzheng: "What do you think?"

Ning Zheng shook his head gently: "My opinion is completely opposite to Lord Kang. I think the most dangerous moment has just begun."

Kang Wuwei raised his eyebrows: "What do you say?"

"Mr. Kang ignored a very important thing..." Ning Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed out the place where Luoyang and Baima Town were located on the map, and then gently drew a horizontal line in the middle of the two places.

"If I were the prince, I wouldn't have to spend manpower to pursue Mr. Xia's whereabouts. The simpler and most direct way is to cut off all channels from Baima Town to Luoyang!"

"Not only can you set up checkpoints on the official roads and conduct cross-checking pedestrians, but you can also increase supervision at the gates of major towns. In this way, as long as Mr. Xia cannot reach Luoyang, his life and death will be meaningless."

Kang Wuwei couldn't help but smile and said, "You may have forgotten that the prince is just the prince after all. As long as he has not ascended the throne in one day, he will not have such great power. If he really does this, it will only make His Majesty wary of him!"

Ning Zheng sighed slowly: "If it were under normal circumstances, there was no reason for the Crown Prince to hunt down Prince Xia on a large scale, but what if Prince Xia unfortunately became an imperial prisoner in the court?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Sheng's eyes were slightly condensed and he said in a deep voice: "What does it mean?"

Ning Zheng looked bitter and took out a document from his arms, saying, "A few days ago, because Mr. Xia kidnapped Xiao Yong, the mayor issued an arrest document to the public. Although I had ordered people to withdraw it afterwards, it would be easy if the prince's people wanted to take advantage of this matter."

After pausing, Ning Zheng continued: "The eldest son who openly hijacked the mayor's mansion, this matter is big or small, not to mention that Mr. Xia later killed Xiao Yong with his own hands in front of everyone. Lord Xiao may not dare to continue to pursue this matter for the time being, but it does not mean that His Highness the Crown Prince will not use this as a handle and turn Mr. Xia into a criminal offender in the court!"

Kang Wuwei was stunned and then said, "If this is true, wouldn't the gentleman no longer threaten the prince? How could His Majesty believe the testimony of a court criminal?"

This time, Ning Zheng did not answer, but Xia Sheng said coldly: "No one can control Your Majesty's mind, but a dead person is undoubtedly the safest."

Kang Wuwei suddenly fell silent.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Qin Yan, who had never spoken, suddenly said something.

"I am not interested in these so-called throne fights and party struggles, nor do I know any intrigues or conspiracies, but I know that if someone really wants us to die on the way back to Luoyang, only Mr. Kang among everyone can save our lives."

Qin Yan looked straight into Xia Sheng's eyes without any concealment and said solemnly: "Although I don't want to admit it, if someone really has a way to further improve Mr. Kang's strength in the shortest time, that person can only be you."

Xia Sheng narrowed his eyes gently. After a moment, he turned his head to Kang Wuwei and said, "Last time, you asked me, is there any way to make you win a Spirit Emperor in the same level? The answer I give you now is, no."

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Kang Wuwei's eyes, but Xia Sheng's voice continued.

"But I can teach you a sword to let you escape unstoppable under the siege of four powerful emperors..."
