A burst of fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky over the capital.
Many people saw it clearly, but no one understood what the fireworks represented.
Not long after, Xia Shang appeared in the teahouse near the second prince's residence.
Immediately afterwards, Xue Lengxiang came upstairs wearing casual clothes.
"Master, are you looking for me?"
"Sit down and talk." Xia Shang pointed to the seat opposite.
Xue Lengxiang put the sword on the table, straightened her hair, and sat down.
Just as Xia Shang was about to say something, Xue Lengxiang suddenly came closer, smelled it from a distance of half a meter, and asked suspiciously: "Master, has he just come out of a woman's arms?"
"Pfft!" Xia Shang choked when he swallowed, and his old face turned red, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Stop pretending, you smell like women and wine."
"Ahem...that..."
"Sister Xian'er just sent a letter saying, let me see if there is any woman around Master, why has it been so long since I came back to the capital and no news has been sent back. Master, how do you think the disciple should reply to Sister Xian'er?
?”
"Ahem... Disciple, you are now a junior master. Can you set your sights higher? The so-called masters are transcendent figures who have escaped from the secular world and low-level tastes. How can you be loved by these secular men and women?
Delayed by love? You should focus on practicing now and strive to master the Eighty-one Way Sword as soon as possible."
"Kekeke...disciple knows."
Xue Lengxiang smiled brightly and gently tapped Xia Shang's back with her fingers.
"Don't worry, master. The disciple is always facing the master. But before I met the master, it was either a task or killing people. Those are not things that the disciple likes. I haven't talked to the master so casually for a long time.
Say a few words and my disciple will feel much better."
Xia Shang frowned, looking at his apprentice's appearance, he felt a little pitiful and felt a little guilty.
At the beginning, he didn't teach her swordsmanship to make her his sword, but now, being tied up by big and small things, he had to turn this apprentice into his tool.
"Now there are fewer people around me that I can use, so I need your help as a last resort."
"Disciple just complained a few words, master
Whatever the Father has commanded, just say it.”
Xia Shang pointed to the Prince's Mansion at the other end of the street: "I want you to go to the Prince's Mansion and give a message to the Japanese warrior leader, saying that their princess is safe now. However, you must be careful not to be discovered by other people.
So I chose you because you are the master. As long as you are careful, no one will know."
"Um."
"Also, after you killed the Ghost Master that night, I asked you to gradually mobilize people from the Ming Cult to lurk inside and outside the capital. How did things go?"
"Most of the elite members of the Mingjiao have been transferred outside the capital, but a group of masters in our Mingjiao were originally sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Now that Master is no longer the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, those who originally belonged to the Metropolitan Procuratorate are mostly
Some of them have been transferred back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I don’t know if Sister Chunjiao can suppress her alone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Those people know a lot of inside information about Mingjiao and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If someone among them leaks the information,
I’m afraid something might happen.”
Xia Shang frowned. He really didn't expect such a hidden danger.
However, Xia Shang quickly put this aside: "Now is not the time to think about this. The Japanese mission was assassinated yesterday, and a group of white warriors appeared. You'd better start checking and see if you can get anything.
If you find out anything, please inform Chunjiao directly."
"clear."
"Finally, people in Mingjiao must be prepared. If there is a force in the Japanese country that wants to destroy this marriage, then they will definitely take action a second time. My intuition tells me that the Tianxiahai that has appeared in the world recently
Ge is the person who attacks the Japanese princess. Chunjiao has found out a lot of news, proving that people from Tianxia Haige are secretly gathering in the capital. If there is a conflict, Mingjiao will help protect the Japanese mission in secret. "
Xue Lengxiang responded again: "Master, the apprentice is going to pass on the message right now."
Xia Shang nodded, and then said: "Wait..."
Xue Lengxiang rarely saw Master hesitate. After standing up, he stopped: "Master, what else can you do?"
"Don't be so anxious. Sit down and chat with Master."
Xue Lengxiang smiled: "Master, are you still thinking about what the disciple said before? No, if master wants to chat, just wait here for the disciple. The disciple will pass the message on first, and then come back and have a drink with the master.
Tea."
Xia Shang was also one
He smiled and waved his hand: "Then go ahead."
Xue Lengxiang picked up the sword and went downstairs silently.
The Second Prince's Mansion was less than 200 meters away from the teahouse where Xia Shang was staying. For the Grandmaster, it was only a matter of seconds.
But Xue Lengxiang didn't know who the leader of the Japanese representative was, and she needed to do a little observation.
The Second Prince's Mansion was very large, and it was heavily guarded. There were soldiers from Japan and Dahua on patrol, and the protection was like an iron barrel.
However, Xue Lengxiang still sneaked in easily and after observing for half a quarter of an hour, she noticed that in the main hall of the back garden in the center of the mansion, a young Japanese warrior was dispatching personnel and asking about the situation of his men from time to time.
This young samurai is Zero Four.
He seems to be motionless now, his expression is very relaxed, but he has been nervously planning in his heart, thinking about how to get the young lady back without alerting anyone.
Inside the main hall lies the princess's double, and outside the hall are layers of guards. This room has the most guards in the entire mansion. Anyone who looks at it can guess that it is the place where the Japanese princess rests.
Zero Four had just received the news from his confidants. There was no news about the young lady yet, which made him feel a little more irritable.
But at this moment, the tiles on the roof behind him made a very weak sound, instantly making Zero Four's expression become serious.
But there was no movement, and he pretended not to hear anything, thinking that no matter who it was, anyone who dared to sneak into the hall behind him would be killed by his lurking person in an instant.
However, after a while, there was no more movement behind.
The person who sneaked in seems to be gone...
This made Zero Four realize that something was wrong. The person who infiltrated seemed not to have any intention of entering the temple, so did he have any other plans?
After thinking about it, Ling Si couldn't sit still anymore, turned around and jumped directly onto the roof.
He didn't see anyone, but he already sensed that someone was waiting for him, so he instantly pulled out his katana, and just as he was about to take action, someone seemed to hear a voice in his ear.
"Someone asked me to bring you a message. The princess is safe now."
The words disappeared, and Zero Four appeared on the roof. The aura that he could feel just now had disappeared. Wherever he could see, there was no trace of anyone...
