When it comes to weeds, the easiest thing that people think of is the grassland people west of the Dajin Dynasty, and the "grass-cutting defense line" composed of the four great passes of Jianmen Pass, Yumen Pass, Changyan Pass and Ningwu Pass during the reign of Emperor Gaozong.

And just over half a month ago, with the defeat of the Xiling border army, the grassland people advanced eastward unscrupulously and won consecutive battles. The Dajin Dynasty had successively lost the two major defense areas of Changyan Pass and Ningwu Pass, and the "Slaying the Grass Defense Line" was in name only.

For this reason, the current emperor was furious and directly killed the front-line general Xiang Yong and General Xiang in the head, and killed the nine clans.

For the same reason, the Marquis of Weining, Ye Jiang, and his army under the thorns, who were supposed to go to Beijing to report their work, were urgently transferred to the Xiling Front to put out the fire, and no good news has been reported yet.

But the strangest thing is here too.

Since Marshal Ye is still fighting bloody battles on the front line and trying to prevent the grassland people from outside the country, why did Xu Qiuran, the general who was also transferred to Xiling, suddenly return to Beijing?

Xia Sheng didn't know the inside story yet, but his conversation with the three demon tribes in the black prison of the Judgment Si made him wonder, could the so-called wild grass action be that the grassland people reached a consensus with the demon spies lurking in the Dajin Dynasty, and wanted to work together to directly open up the Hexi Corridor directly from Xiling to the capital Luoyang?

As we all know, during the rapid development of the demon clan's forces for more than a thousand years, due to the turmoil in the internal royal family, they were divided into two completely different camps, separated from the East and South China Seas of the Dajin Dynasty, forming a semi-encirclement of the Dajin Dynasty.

For example, the three demon tribes that Xia Sheng saw in the Hei Prison in the Judgment Si belong to the East China Sea lineage.

However, the East China Sea and Xiling are 108,000 miles apart. Even if the grassland people enter the Central Plains, what benefits can the demons have for them?

Xia Sheng couldn't think of the key point for a moment. He could only put this matter in his heart first. Next, he should first make it the top priority to find his father's whereabouts.

And this matter can only be left to Qin Yan.

Soon, Xia Sheng came outside the door of Yanyu Tower, but was surprised to find that Mo Yuan was not in the building today, which is quite rare.

Fortunately, the servants in the building were already very familiar with Xia Sheng, so someone whispered: "The young master has not been in the building these two days, but Miss Yiyi has already given instructions. If Mr. Xia comes, it can be convenient for you."

"Miss Yiyi?"

Xia Sheng was stunned, and then recalled that the third young master of the Gu family came here to make trouble that day, claiming that it was to seek justice for a girl. He also firmly believed that Yanyulou detained him and committed inhumane abuse.

And the girl's name seems to be Yiyi.

Thinking of this, Xia Sheng nodded immediately, indicating that no one needed to serve him. Then he went up the second floor with a familiarity and pushed the door open and walked into Hongluan Pavilion.

Unlike in the past, this time the Hongluan Pavilion seemed empty, and it was obvious that Qin Yan had not arrived yet.

Xia Sheng sat on the chair boredly. His thoughts drifted aimlessly, and the fog piled up in front of him did not seem to dissipate at all. Instead, it became thicker.

Now, let alone the whereabouts of my father, he hasn't even figured out his true identity.

According to Mrs. Ye, his father was probably a member of the Thorn Army before and had saved Marshal Ye's life, so Marshal Ye betrothed his daughter to Xia Sheng in order to repay his kindness.

But as early as in Baima Town, Xia Sheng had accidentally heard his father’s name for Marshal Ye. He was not an adult or a general, but a nickname...

Ye Datou.

Xia Sheng didn't know whether Marshal Ye's head was really big, but he knew that this was definitely not the title that a subordinate should call the main general!

Especially in places like the Thorn Army with strict military discipline, no matter how good the relationship between generals and soldiers is, the difference between superiority and inferiority is very obvious.

Therefore, Xia Sheng could conclude that his father's identity is probably more than just a personal soldier.

Later, because of Meng Qi, Xia Sheng met Princess Pingnan by chance, and learned from the other party that his mother might have a certain relationship with Mrs. Xue from the Marquis of Pingnan, which means that his biological mother is probably not a little person!

What I saw and heard in the Judgment Department today is even more incredible.

Xia Sheng actually saw a kitchen knife exactly the same as in the hands of his father on the black firm leader and Ding Zhong!

what does that mean?

Could it be that my father is from the Self-Appointment Office?

For a moment, Xia Sheng felt his mind was even more confused. Now, he still needed a rope that could string all these clues together, but he didn't know if this rope was held in Marshal Ye's hand?

I'll wait for Qin Yan to come later, I hope she can bring some good news...

Xia Sheng stared out the window for a while and then his eyes turned cold. He saw a very familiar figure appearing in front of the gate of Yanyu Tower. However, he just looked inside and left.

Seeing this, Xia Sheng didn't know what he was thinking. He jumped and jumped straight from the window, and then quietly followed the other party like a devil.

At the same time, Qin Erye, who had just left Yanyu Tower, seemed to have noticed something and immediately accelerated his pace. He didn't even take the carriage and flashed rapidly, and then he rushed into a dark forest not far away.

Xia Sheng did not expect that the other party was so vigilant that he discovered his existence so quickly, so he stopped hiding it. He simply appeared from the shadows beside the road and ran towards the other party.

It's getting closer, closer.

Mr. Qin soon discovered that there seemed to be more than one person on the other side, but because he was going out to visit the Flower Building tonight, he didn't bring a follower around him. I wonder who the other side was, who was the enemy of Shantang, or who had a personal grudge with him?

Seeking money or seeking life?

At the same time, Xia Sheng also vaguely noticed the existence of the third party in the field, and couldn't help but subconsciously clench the long sword on his waist.

Because he didn't know whether that person was an enemy or a friend.

This silent pursuit lasted for a cup of tea. Mr. Qin finally stopped in the depths of the dense forest. It was not that he didn't want to continue escaping, but that there were already dense figures in front of him.

So he forced himself to calm down and asked, "I wonder what you want to do? Why are you following Qin all the way? Do you think my Shantang is easy to mess with?"

A bald man in the lead pulled out the long sword behind him, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face, and said, "Hey, Master Qin is right, let me tell you the truth, we came for you today. Your son made us lose all our money in the clan competition. How should we calculate this debt?"

At the same time, Xia Sheng also chased the place less than three feet behind, and then shouted: "Mr. Yin, long time no see!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Shizhen, who was already rushing to attack, also stopped and turned around, looking shocked: "It's you!"
