"I'm just telling you! My young master is a businessman, so he won't do those who fight and kill, right?"
Xia Shang then asked the other party everything he knew.
It turns out that this heroes conference has already spread in Yangzhou City.
But few people care about Wulin affairs.
The martial arts world is a circle, and ordinary people are another circle.
Things about martial arts and martial arts conferences are just casual conversations after dinner, and no one really cares.
Even if there are some shocking rumors, they are just rumors and most people will not believe them at all.
There is a rumor among them that the real mastermind behind this martial arts conference is related to the remnants of the previous dynasty.
After hearing the news, Xia Shang felt a little strange, so he asked some more detailed questions.
Uncle Zhong's wife didn't take it seriously: "Master, you won't believe such ridiculous words, right? If it is really related to the remnants of the previous dynasty, why are there no movements at all among the officers and soldiers in Yangzhou City? This is why the news came from unknown sources.
What nonsense."
Xia Shang nodded, knowing that even if it was true, he couldn't get anything out of the woman's mouth.
After a conversation, Xia Shang was ready to leave.
Uncle Zhong tried to stay for a while, but Xia Shang refused because he was busy.
After leaving the old house, Xue Lengxiang asked Xia Shang: "Master, do you really think it is related to the remnants of the previous dynasty? It has been a hundred years..."
"This matter is very strange. No matter what, you have to be more careful. Legends don't come from nowhere. Even if some good people want to make up stories, most people can't make up stories about the remnants of the previous dynasty."
"Then what do we do now?"
"The day after tomorrow is the Wulin Conference. We don't have much time. The first thing is to find the person who is pretending to be me. The second thing is to prevent the Wulin Conference from going smoothly. We can destroy Li Yong by destroying the Wulin Conference.
The current reaction can just verify whether he has any connection with the martial arts conference."
"If we don't allow the martial arts conference to proceed smoothly, that means we only have one day left."
"That's right."
Xia Shang took Xue Lengxiang back to the inn and asked about the news in Prince Xia Yong's palace.
Everyone said nothing unusual happened.
Afterwards, Xia Shang ordered everyone to investigate the man
Fake Xia Shang.
At the same time, Xia Shang also reminded everyone to pay attention to safety. After all, there may be people among the enemies who can easily kill the grandmaster.
…
It was getting late, drizzle began to fall in the sky, and the clouds blocked the moonlight, shrouding the entire Yangzhou in a wet haze.
Although full of concealment, the gentleness of Yangzhou is always different from that of Beijing.
In the post house, Xia Shang was only accompanied by Xue Lengxiang.
He is destined to have no sleep tonight, and Xia Shang has to wait for news that may come back at any time.
Xue Lengxiang fixed her eyes outside the window, looking at the quietness of the streets in Yangzhou City, and felt a kind of comfort that was different from the capital city.
"Yangzhou... seems really different from the capital."
Xue Lengxiang looked outside in trance and couldn't help but sigh.
"After this happens, you can come to Yangzhou if you are interested."
"Master, look, someone is coming."
Xia Shang looked in the direction pointed by Xue Lengxiang. Among the patter of darkness, several darker shadows entered the post house, and then he heard the sound of clicking upstairs.
"Sir, people from the Ming Cult have brought it."
Chunjiao's voice came from outside.
Among those participating in the Heroes Conference is the Mingjiao. There is still one day left for the Heroes Conference, so the Mingjiao will naturally be in Yangzhou City.
Therefore, the first thing that Xia and Shang did when they came to Yangzhou was to find people from Mingjiao. The information they got from the people of Mingjiao must be much more reliable than hearsay.
The door opened and several people came in.
Except for the leader Yuan Yi, Xia Shang didn't know anyone.
When Yuan Yi saw Xia Shang, he shouted in surprise: "Leader! It's really you!"
Xia Shang nodded and motioned for Yuan Yi to sit down first.
Hearing Yuan Yi's name, several Mingjiao disciples following Yuan Yi looked very shocked.
Those pairs of eyes were clearly filled with doubts, this is the leader of our Shenlong who has never seen the beginning or end.
Yuan Yi looked back at the people behind him, frowned and said, "Why are you all still standing there? Why don't you bow to the leader?"
"Leader? This is too... too young..."
"No need, why did you come to Yangzhou? And I didn't get any news."
Yuan Yi looked at Xia Shang and then at Chun Jiao.
"Don't worry, they are all our own people."
"One's own people
?" Yuan Yi frowned, his eyes not only falling on Chunjiao's face, but also on her waist.
Following Yuan Yi's gaze, Xia Shang saw Chunjiao's waist badge.
Xia Shang also frowned, waiting for Yuan Yi's explanation.
"Master, why are you still with the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
"Why can't you go with the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
"Have you not been dismissed from your post by the imperial court?"
"So what?"
"It doesn't mean that you have completely broken with the imperial court and started to use your real name, Xia Shang, to call on your martial arts colleagues to go against the imperial court..."
"Wait a minute..." Xia Shang frowned, "Break with the imperial court and use my real name... I understand, you know my name."
Yuan Yi nodded.
"Since you know the real name, why do you still come to the martial arts conference? Can't you hear the loopholes in it?"
Seeing Xia Shang's performance at this moment, Yuan Yi seemed a little confused: "Loophole?"
Xia Shang smiled coldly: "Calling fellow martial artists to fight against the imperial court? Can such an awkward slogan be uttered by them? And you actually believe it?!"
"Could it be... could all of this be fake?"
"Although I will no longer be the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I have never said that I would fight against the imperial court! What happened to Xia Shang of the Haotian League? Have you ever seen that person? Where can I find him?
Find that guy."
"I...I...we just heard that we also received a letter at the same time. It was the leader's personal request for us to participate in the martial arts conference and cooperate with the Haotian Alliance..."
"A letter? What letter? When did I write a letter?"
Yuan Yi really took out a letter. Xia Shang read it and wanted to kill Yuan Yi, a fool.
"Do you believe this letter?"
"The leader's calligraphy is quite good, I think..."
"The calligraphy is very good? The calligraphy is indeed very good! But then you have no other judgment? Why don't you bring people to the martial arts conference without confirming the news?"
"The disciple also feels that those rumors are quite true, and he also knows that the identity of the leader is mysterious and will not reveal his identity at will. Since Xia Shang's name has been revealed, there is probably nothing false. Besides, there are many people in the world.
Everyone believed this, and we..."
Xia Shang covered his forehead and felt a little speechless. He could only comfort himself that he could not blame him.
