Things have changed unexpectedly that Meng Qi has.

This city guard official named Bi Qingwen is actually from Shantang?

No, to be more precise, he is Qin Yan's person, Kang Wuwei's person!

Although Meng Qi and Qin Yan didn’t see each other, at this time, the appearance of Bi Qingwen was undoubtedly great news for both Meng Qi and Xia Sheng!

Meng Qi, who learned about this, had not even confirmed Bi Qingwen's true identity, so he brought him to Xia Sheng.

Fortunately, Bi Qingwen is really from Shantang, and it was not the assassin who arranged by the prince to lure Xia Sheng here, so Meng Qi's recklessness did not cause any major disaster.

Next, Xia Sheng finally learned about Qin Yan and Kang Wuwei through Bi Qingwen.

After the Heishui Town Rebellion, Qin Yan and Kang Wuwei fled outside the town as soon as possible. Later, when they wanted to look back to find Xia Sheng, they found that the entire Heishui Town was blocked by the private army of the Judgment Office and Ping Nanhou.

Out of trust in Xia Sheng's strength and wisdom, and Kang Wuwei's failure to recover his mind, Qin Yan made a quick decision and rushed to Maoling County overnight with Kang Wuwei and contacted the Shantang Branch in Yangcheng.

"Then are they still in Yangcheng?"

Regarding Xia Sheng's question, Bi Qingwen shook his head with some regret: "Mr. Xia is one step late, Miss and Lord Kang have already rushed to Yingchuan first."

Hearing this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but sigh softly. One step later, one step later, because Kui Mu's half-way interception of the people in the Judgment Office, coupled with the rebellion between Cheng Liran and Mo Lin, Xia Sheng wasted too much time in the middle. Now that he wanted to catch up with Qin Yan and Kang Wuwei, he was already a little helpless.

Fortunately, with the support of the people in the Shantang, Xia Sheng finally didn't have to worry about the prince's search for him for the time being. Everyone successfully entered Yangcheng. After a night of running and fatigue, Xia Sheng decided to rest in Yangcheng for one day and continue to set off tomorrow to Yingchuan.

On this day, there was no accident again, and Xia Sheng finally slept peacefully after leaving Baima Town.

When he woke up, it was already afternoon. Bi Qingwen had already arranged everything and picked up more than a dozen elite generals from the Yangcheng Good Hall and personally protected Xia Sheng and others and left Yangcheng.

Two days later, everyone arrived in Yingchuan successfully and received a response from the people in Shantang again, but Xia Sheng learned that Qin Yan and Kang Wuwei had returned to Luoyang.

Xia Sheng judged something from this, and Kang Wuwei probably had woken up from enlightenment.

Otherwise, according to Qin Yan's temperament, she would have waited for herself in Yingchuan.

"The old fox Kang Wuwei..."

Xia Sheng smiled and shook his head, not thinking that Kang Wuwei's move was inappropriate. After all, from the moment, the two sides are just a mutually beneficial relationship. Even if Kang Wuwei values ​​Xia Sheng again, there is no need to risk being a head-on enemy with the prince and personally escort Xia Sheng to Beijing.

Unless he can formally verify the authenticity of Xia Sheng's Shan copybook.

Moreover, compared to Xia Sheng's life safety, Kang Wuwei cared more about the safety of his own lady. For him, his first priority was not to help Xia Sheng escape the pursuit of the prince's subordinates, but to send Qin Yan safe back to Luoyang first!

Since the Hei Shui Town Rebellion was just enough to separate the two sides, let's let it go...

Fortunately, Kang Wuwei is quite conscientious. Although he did not stay with Qin Yan to wait for Xia Sheng, in the towns along the way, he had already greeted him in any place where there were Shantang Branches, which made Xia Sheng very comfortable to walk the next journey.

Especially Bi Qingwen, he was a versatile person at first glance. Although he was just a deacon in the Yangcheng Branch, he was very good at being a human being. He took care of Xia Sheng meticulously along the way, and could say something with other towns and people, as if he had made friends all over the world.

It took only two days for everyone to go from Maoling County to Yingchuan, but it took seven days for everyone to arrive from Yingchuan to Luoyang.

This was still the case when Xia Sheng was urging him to keep rushing.

And along the way, Xia Sheng also heard about some very important things from Bi Qingwen.

For example, in another half a month, it will be the day for the Qin family to compete. For example, the Tianxing Academy and the Imperial Academy are arguing about the venue for the upcoming Chenxi Grand Test. In addition, news came from the border two days ago that the grassland people came in full force. After breaking through Changyan Pass, they won another battle with thunder and successfully took away Ningwu Pass from the Jin people.

At this point, the "grass-cutting defense line" set up by Emperor Gaozong in the West Defense Border has been in name only, with only Jianmen Pass and Yumen Pass remaining to support it.

When the news came back, Your Majesty was furious and directly killed the nine clans of the front-line general Xiang Yong and the Xiang Grand Master.

This scene easily reminds people of the Luoyang bloody case brewed by Emperor Taizu at the beginning of the founding of the Dajin Dynasty. In the same autumn wind, Emperor Taizu ordered the execution of one of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" and the regent of the ten clans of Luoqiu.

All of them, including their teachers, students, relatives and friends, were spared.

So for a moment, the capital was filled with bloody storms, and everyone was in danger of having an old senior official with General Xiang.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Xia Sheng for the time being. What he cares more about is another thing Bi Qingwen said to him.

It is said that five days ago, the ninth prince Zhao Chen returned to the Imperial Academy and ushered in a jubilant voice, because this means that in the upcoming Chenxi exam, the Imperial Academy finally had the trump card to compete with the Chunqiu Academy.

After learning the news, Xia Sheng finally understood why the prince's subordinates had not appeared and chased him for a long time. It turned out that His Highness Ning had successfully escaped.

But what surprised him was that it had been five days since the ninth prince returned to Luoyang, so why didn't there be any movement?

Not to mention the counterattack against the prince, or the Battle of Wangguilin, Shangda Sheng heard the battle of Wangguilin, and no one in the entire Luoyang City heard any disturbances.

Everything is like nothing has happened.

In this regard, Ning Zheng analyzed that it was probably because the timing was wrong.

Now the border troops of Dajin Xiling were defeated in succession, and they were about to lose the entire four borders of the Zhucao defense line. His Majesty the Emperor is in anger. If His Highness Ning reports this matter again, it will likely be counterproductive.

If a party-to-party dispute breaks out and the situation in the court is unstable, it will be even more a disaster for the Dajin Dynasty, which is now trapped in external troubles.

Therefore, whether it is public or private, His Highness Ning could only swallow his anger and temporarily suffered a loss.

I can only say that the prince’s life is really great!

And it was under such circumstances that facing the rainy sky, Xia Sheng and his group finally arrived outside Luoyang City.

Stepping into the political center of the Dajin Dynasty, which was full of internal and external troubles, was in turmoil. (This volume is over!)
