Xia Sheng did not comment on this, but asked: "But now Brother Jing is not alone. There is also a Marquis of Pingnan next to him."

Upon hearing this, Ning Zheng immediately smiled: "It seems that the sir has not been deceived by the idleness shown by the marquis."

Xia Sheng shook his head: "That's just an appearance. I don't believe that there are people in the world who don't take their lives seriously. Moreover, if he is really an open-minded person who has seen through life and death, how could he care about the deduction of military pay? How could he ask the people from the Judgment Department to escort him all the way from Xiling to Kyoto?"

Ning Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, I think so too, so our marquis is not simple, but he acted too deliberately, which shows that he is actually a person who cherishes his life. Since he is a person who cherishes his life..."

"If he really saw through the abnormality that his husband had shown before, then how could he let Brother Jing stay in Yangcheng and wait for Mr.? How could he dare to keep Mr. Jing by his side? I'm afraid he would even want Brother Jing to fly back to Luoyang with him!"

Xia Sheng nodded and admitted that what Ning Zheng analyzed was indeed very reasonable, but one thing was something he and Ning Zheng had never expected before.

"I accidentally learned from Kuimu that the person who pursued Pingnan Hou this time was not from Shantang. Do you think this incident will have an impact on our subsequent actions?"

Ning Zheng was silent for a moment and said, "It should not be there for the time being, and this is actually good news. At least the matter between Mr. and the Judgment Office will not be regarded as a rebellious act by Shantang even if it is known in the future."

Xia Sheng smiled faintly and was about to say something, but he saw Meng Qi in front of him suddenly turn around.

"The city of Yangcheng is here."

So Xia Sheng pressed his words and walked forward with Ning Zheng. Sure enough, within his field of vision, the walls of Yangcheng could already be seen.

From a distance, there were many guards at the gate of Yangcheng, and they were checking and inquiring about the passing pedestrians and vehicles. Seeing this, Xia Sheng knew that his premonition was right, and the prince's men finally took action.

Fortunately, Meng Qi, the female assassin who came out on the way, has now become Xia Sheng's greatest guarantee.

After a while, Meng Qi followed the original plan and came to the city gate alone, walking towards the city very naturally, calmly.

But unexpectedly, even so, Meng Qi caught the attention of a city guard at the city gate. The other party seemed to be holding several portraits in his hand. After seeing Meng Qi, he kept staring at her.

As a killer, Meng Qi seems unreliable in many cases, at least she is extremely sensitive in perception.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Meng Qi had already noticed the city guard's spy on her, so she gradually slowed down and wanted to withdraw from the crowd at the city gate.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The next moment, the city guard led three subordinates to Meng Qi, picked up the portrait in his hand and compared it, then nodded and said, "It should be right."

Upon hearing this, the Sufeng Blade in Meng Qi's sleeve had already slid down into his palm, ready to burst out and break out at any time.

Who would have thought that the city guardian said another word in a low voice, which immediately made Meng Qi stunned.

"Is it Miss Meng? Xiaguan was entrusted by the eldest lady and Lord Kang, and hereby welcomes you and Mr. Xia into the city!"
