Xia Shang was full of fantasies about this trip, but he did not dare to relax at all.
Because the capital city and Shuiyue Villa are thousands of miles apart, even the Grandmaster cannot rely on his true energy to travel.
Horseback riding is still the fastest way to move.
After a day of traveling, Xia Shang suggested taking a rest and telling the group everything about their trip.
This action was so sudden that Xia Shang did not have the opportunity to explain the current causes and consequences in detail.
Several people accompanying him were also kept in the dark.
After explaining the cause and effect, several people seemed incredulous.
Li Yong has now grown into a master who can kill the Grandmaster?
This news is confusing no matter where it is placed.
Of course, this is just the most logical guess based on the information we have received so far. But whether it is true or not, we have to wait until we find out.
After a night's rest, at dawn, several people were ready to set off again.
The four masters led Xia Shang on the road at an absurdly fast speed. They could cover the distance of three days for ordinary people in one day.
In addition, Xia Shang is not short of money and buys new horses every day. It is estimated that it will take five days to reach the vicinity of Shuiyue Villa.
After living in the capital for a long time, Xia Shang was not used to the atmosphere of the world outside the capital.
It felt like I could see people in the world of martial arts everywhere along the way. They were much more active than the people in Xia Shang's memory.
At dusk on the third day, several people rested in a post house again. Xia Shang ordered simple food and drinks, eating and watching.
Looking at the Jianghu people coming in and out of the door downstairs, I couldn't help but ask: "Why are there more people in the Jianghu now than in previous years?"
Chunjiao and Fusheng are both from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has not paid much attention to Jianghu's affairs recently, so naturally they don't know.
Xue Lengxiang was also staying in the capital and didn't know.
The remaining one, Min Xiner, was even more confused. She had just left Shuiyue Villa.
Now that I heard that Shuiyue Villa may be in danger, I feel anxious.
According to Min Xiner's wishes, they should not rest and rush to Shuiyue Villa in one go. Or it would be enough to leave one person to accompany Xia Shang. There is no need for everyone to waste time here.
Looking at the crowd and asking questions, Xia Shang licked his lips at Min Xiner: "Go, pay a little attention and listen to what they are saying?"
"why me
?" Min Xiner complained, but she still went downstairs to find a table and sat down.
"Although I don't often pay attention to Jianghu affairs, judging from the current situation, I saw too many Jianghu people along the way. This is unusual."
Xia Shang frowned and took out a small flare from his clothes and handed it to Chunjiao: "Go out and ask the people behind us to see what they know."
Chunjiao went downstairs, left the post house, and soon took Jinniang into the post house.
Jin Niang went upstairs to Xia Shang, tilting her face to avoid looking at him, but simply said: "Are your people all trash? You came here with so much information and you didn't even bother to inquire about it?"
"You!" Xue Lenxiang's eyes widened, feeling very unhappy.
Xia Shang hurriedly stopped: "It's okay, it's okay. I've done my best, so I should complain a few times. Tell me, what did you find out during the investigation?"
"Three days later, there will be a heroes meeting in Yangzhou City."
"Another Heroes Conference?" Xia Shang frowned, thinking of the Heroes Conference held by the Red Flower Society back then, which was just a bunch of rabble-rousing people enjoying themselves.
Xia Shang did not have a good impression of the Heroes Conference. There were no heroes attending the Heroes Conference. They were all thorns who liked to cause trouble. The court should suppress them.
"Who held it? Does this mean that all these people in the world are going to respond to the Heroes Conference?"
"I heard that it is the Haotian Alliance. It has been planning for this hero conference for a long time. It has been widely spread. Almost the entire world knows about it..."
"Wait a minute..." Xia Shang quickly interrupted, "What did you say? Haotian Alliance? Hasn't it been disbanded? Their alliance leader Xiao Shan is now the leader of Baili Division."
"Without the alliance leader, there will naturally be a new alliance leader. The Haotian Alliance did not disband. On the contrary, their new alliance leader was quite powerful. In just one month, he gathered the scattered Haotian Alliance and even
Unite Liuyun Sect and Mingjiao..."
"What's going on?" Xia Shang interrupted again, "What are you talking about? Mingjiao? You're not mistaken?"
"You heard that right, there is something even more incredible for you, so you have to listen carefully."
Jin Niang paused and glanced at Xia Shang meaningfully: "The name of that leader is - Xia Shang!"
"puff!"
Xia Shang sprayed a mouthful of water directly on Fusheng's face opposite him.
I almost bit my tongue before, but this time I actually bit my tongue directly.
Xia Shang blushed and covered his mouth. It took him a while to recover: "You...you...what did you say? What is the name of the leader?"
"Xia Shang!"
Chunjiao and Xue Lengxiang were both shocked and speechless. Fusheng had a dark face and wiped away the water.
Xia Shang hurriedly kept his smile, hesitating and not knowing what to say.
"Don't fool me, how could it be called Xia Shang? Is there another person named Xia Shang?"
"I don't know about this, but your name is the former head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He betrayed the imperial court and joined the world. To put it this way, someone should be impersonating you."
"You are talking nonsense. If you are really pretending to be me, how could the Ming Cult unite with them?"
"Don't forget, the leader of the Ming Cult is named Xia Chunqiu, not Xia Shang."
"There are people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate among the Ming Cult."
"Those people were all transferred back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate after your badges were taken away. There are also people who are familiar with you and know your real name, and there is only one named Xian'er, right? Recently, you have used all the people you can use to
Everyone who arrived was concentrated in the capital, and you had no idea what was happening outside the capital."
"...This..." Xia Shang was completely speechless. After listening to the analysis and thinking about it, it was really possible that he was being impersonated.
There is also Ye Liuyun of the Liuyun Sect, who is probably an accomplice. He knew it was false but chose not to say anything.
A person uses Xia Shang's name to deceive the world?
Who is this guy? What does he want to do?
Xia Shang never thought in his life that he would be impersonated, and he suddenly thought about it and became panicked.
At this time, Min Xiner hurriedly ran up: "Brother Xia, how did you become the leader of the Haotian Alliance? I just heard someone talking about you below..."
Everyone looked at Min Xiner with strange eyes, which made Min Xiner look confused.
"This is the situation."
"When did you know?"
"Two days ago."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"You didn't say that I had something to report to you. Besides, it doesn't matter the purpose of our trip! We just need to go directly to Shuiyue Villa."
"You know nothing! This matter must have something to do with King Yong! We are going to the Heroes Conference to have a look."
