Perhaps before today, no one would have thought that the richest Qin family in the Dajin Dynasty was actually at the most dangerous time.

But now Xia Sheng knows.

Perhaps, Qin Xiaohua noticed this earlier than Xia Sheng.

Because all this has long been a sign.

In fact, as early as in Luoyang, Kyoto, Xia Sheng suspected that there were spies in Shantang. Because in the battle of Guihua Lane, in addition to Pei Yuanji and Hu Shuo, other people revealed his whereabouts.

It turns out that he is right.

Not long after, Qin Xiaohua dug out the traitor who was hidden the deepest in the Good Hall to worship.

Xia Sheng didn't know what the process was like in the middle, and Qin Xiaohua didn't tell him. In fact, until the last moment before Xiang Chongsheng died, he didn't say anything, but took all the blame with a silent attitude.

But is it really that simple?

Now Xia Sheng knew from another way that before he knew it, Shantang had such a powerful and secret enemy.

Hetang.

From assassinating the Marquis of Pingnan to plagiarizing Shantang, to taking advantage of the opportunity of the Qin family to kill the second master of the Qin family, to assassinating Xia Sheng in Guihua Lane, all of this formed a complete chain, aiming to attack the Qin family at all costs.

What is even more shocking is that the energy of this Hetang is so great that it can actually bribe a noble worshiper of the Qin family, and even make him never speak until his death!

If it spread out from this, Xia Sheng even doubted whether what he knew was just the tip of the iceberg.

Hetang can bribe the worship of Xiang, so can it be bribed by the other people in Shantang?

For example, during his lifetime, Wei Zhiyuan and Wei Gongfeng were the people from Hetang?

Has Qin Xiaohua already noticed the betrayal of Wei Chongfeng, so she killed Xia Sheng's copybook without hesitation in the clan competition?

Xia Sheng had already guessed who was behind Hetang, but he still didn't understand why Hetang wanted to attack the Qin family?

This is a very unreasonable thing.

What’s even more terrifying is that even though Shantang has the most stringent intelligence network in the world, he did not notice the existence of Hetang at all?

Even Kang Wuwei has never heard of it!

The last and most important point is that if Hetang really can compete with Shantang in terms of financial resources, then where did their money come from?

Xia Sheng cannot answer the above questions for the time being. The only thing he can do now is to inform Qin Xiaohua of everything he knows.

Nowadays, there is only one person who can be trusted by Xia Sheng and capable of doing this, Kang Wuwei.

"You told me to go? You're crazy!"

Faced with Kang Wuwei's anger, Xia Sheng shook his head with a wry smile: "This matter is too important. I need to ensure that this letter is handed over to the hands of the shopkeeper Qin Da, and you are the only one who can complete this task."

Kang Wuwei held the envelope that Xia Sheng handed to his hand and said in a deep voice: "I left Beijing this time to ensure that you can safely reach Sunset Valley. What will you do if I leave?"

Xia Sheng smiled and glanced at Pei Yuan in the distance. He said, "With that guy here, if he wants to harm me, it will be no difference whether you are by my side or not. If he is really going to protect me all the way, then he will not need you."

Upon hearing this, Kang Wuwei was stunned because he knew that what Xia Sheng said was right.

"But"

"Nothing is true. I know, in fact, you haven't fully trusted me yet, and there is also the intention of surveillance me along the way, but whether you believe it or not, I can guarantee you that I am definitely not a barbarian spy. This letter is related to the life and death of Shantang and the safety of the Qin family. Are you really planning to put the safety of the family out of the doubt in your heart?"

This time, Kang Wuwei was silent for a longer time. After a long time, he silently put the envelope in his arms, took a deep breath, and slowly spoke: "I understand. Since that's the case, then take care of yourself."

After saying this, Kang Wuwei turned around, bowed to Pei Yuan again, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, I will leave the safety of the journey to you."

Pei Yuan raised his eyebrows high and did not respond. Then he saw Kang Wuwei turning around and galloping towards the road he came.

"Where is he going?"

Xia Sheng smiled: "I asked Wuwei to do something, so I won't leave with us."

Pei Yuan glanced at Xia Sheng deeply, shook his head and said, "I appreciate your courage more and more."

Xia Sheng did not continue the topic and asked instead: "How many killers are there in the forest?"

Pei Yuan raised his head, glanced around in a casual manner, and replied, "There are two fish that have escaped the net."

Xia Sheng couldn't help but smile and said, "You can't even catch me as a master."

Pei Yuan shrugged and said, "It's useless to me for provoking such an old-fashioned thing. Anyway, you have asked what you should ask. As long as they don't bother with each other again next, let them go."

Upon hearing this, Xia Sheng suddenly said with some surprise: "If you don't kill them all, wouldn't you leave the troubles to the people in the clan?"

Pei Yuan’s answer to this is very simple and direct.

"My grandpa is still alive."

Xia Sheng nodded: "Since that's the case, let's go. How far is this place from Sunset Valley?"

Pei Yuan did not go around with Xia Sheng and replied directly: "After passing the mountain ahead, it is about thirty miles away."

It will arrive later tomorrow."

Pei Yuan did not comment on this, but instead asked something that Xia Sheng should care about: "Where is that twittering stupid killer?"

There were eleven killers hidden in this bamboo forest tonight, but Xia Sheng knew who he was asking.

"Are you talking about Meng Qi? Don't worry, she is not good at other things, but hiding her figure is her strength. Even if the remaining two killers want to be unfavorable to her, I'm afraid she won't be able to find where she is."

Pei Yuan agreed with this because even he could not notice where Meng Qi was at this time, but since he had said this, he asked curiously: "Although I don't quite understand what the relationship between you two is, since she is also a killer, how can you be sure that she has no contact with the people who came today? Haven't you ever suspected that she betrayed your whereabouts?"

Xia Sheng was slightly stunned and then replied: "It is useless to me to provoke such an old-fashioned thing."

After saying that, Xia Sheng was too lazy to talk to Pei Yuan anymore, so he walked straight to the outside of the forest.

Soon, Xia Sheng and his group of three walked out of the bamboo forest slowly. However, less than five feet away from them, a figure was standing there alone, under the illumination of the clear and cold moon, with an extremely panic flashing on their faces.

His body was covered in blood.

It's Meng Qi.

Under Meng Qi, there was another person lying in a pool of blood. He looked not tall and was wrapped in a black robe. Only a pair of barefoots, as white as lotus flowers, were exposed.
