The first thousand one hundred and sixty-seven chapters
Xia Xue didn't know why Xia Fan suddenly left, but she did not refuse. She didn't ask until she left tens of thousands of miles with Xia Fan and asked: "Why did you want to leave?"
"Because Xia Feng is coming." Xia Fan answered casually.
"Uh?!" Xia Xue was stunned, not understanding what Xia Fan meant. Then she asked in surprise: "Are you afraid of him?"
"Of course I'm not afraid, but there is no need to conflict with him here." Xia Fan said lightly.
"The more you talk about it, the more confused I am. Although I know that Xia Feng is not weak, based on my understanding of him, he should not be an enemy of you." Xia Xue said with more puzzlement: "Besides, there shouldn't be any unsolvable holidays between you, right?"
"Of course there will be no deadlock between Xia Feng, but there has been a long time since he and his master, the Emperor Master." There was no need to hide some things, so Xia Fan told me about killing several disciples of the Emperor Master directly and indirectly."
"You are so brave." Xia Fan said something lightly, but Xia Xue could feel the danger in her ears. She couldn't help but open her mouth wider, and the shock on her face became stronger and stronger. Finally, she said: "I originally only admired your strength, but now I am even more convinced of your ability to cause trouble."
"Do you regret giving up Xia Feng and others and surrendering to me?" Xia Fan said with a smile.
"That's not." Xia Xue shook her head without hesitation, and then said: "I did think Xia Feng is pretty good before, but later I gradually realized that he seemed open and upright, but behind his back, he looked different, so I gradually moved away from him."
Speaking of this, Xia Xue sighed lightly: "If I hadn't left their small group before, I would have been pushed out by them to charge in the battle."
"It's quite rare for you to see this." Xia Fan said: "These imperial masters may not be very capable, but they are all people who are cold-hearted and do not recognize their feelings. For their so-called imperial hegemony, anyone can use it in their eyes and of course they can abandon it at any time."
"So, is Xia Feng coming to Xia Hu to take advantage of him?" Xia Xue keenly noticed the implicit sound in Xia Fan's words.
"Haha, it seems that you don't know how to fight just by just being stubborn." Xia Fan said casually, but he didn't think it was strange that she had such a behavior.
How could a woman be among the eight tigers of the Xia family and be able to control 100,000 soldiers and horses independently? How could she be just a person with only one stubbornness in her head, just a simple and warlike person without a little wisdom?
She used to give people such an impression, which was not just a disguise made to protect herself.
In a family like the Xia family, if you don’t have a few faces, how can you live a safe and stable life? At least Xia Xue can have her current status, she will definitely not be a simple person.
The reason why Xia Fan pointed it out was not to blame Xia Xue for anything, but to use it to hit her so that she would not play this trick in front of her in the future.
However, Xia Fan understood the principle that no heavy hammer was needed for a drum, so he said this until the previous topic was released, and then he continued: "You are right. Xia Feng naturally did not enter the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, and he was afraid he had no good intentions."
"Emperor Masters like Xia Feng are all pretentious and all want to achieve great achievements that are unprecedented and unparalleled. But in my opinion, they are busy all the time, seemingly they are fighting for the world and treating others as chess pieces in their hands for themselves, but in fact they are just chess pieces in their hands by the chess pieces themselves."
When Xia Fan said this, he shook his head slightly and said, "There is most likely the same for Xia Feng. Today he came to look for Xia Hu. I think there is probably an imperial teacher behind him who is pushing him secretly."
"Since that's the case, then shouldn't we let him succeed even more?" Xia Xue said anxiously.
"He succeeds, so why should I be anxious?" Xia Fan smiled coldly and said, "Xia Hu and others are quite afraid of me. I kindly helped them, but they were treated as evil people to guard against it. Since that's the case, why should I meddle in other people's business?"
"But we are..." Xia Xue said anxiously.
"It's not just that I am brothers with them, but Xia Feng is like them." Xia Fan shook his finger and said, "If they can't trust me, then trust the people they trust. Anyway, I have my own things to do, so I don't have to put all my energy on them."
Having said this, Xia Fan's eyes narrowed, but there was a hint of undetectable sneer on his face.
His strength is stronger than Xia Xue and his spiritual consciousness is stronger. Naturally, he can detect more what happened on Babu Ridge after he left.
Xia Feng came here, of course, not to come to Xia Hu, Xia Lei and Xia Yu to have tea and chat, but to annex the troops in their hands.
At first, Xia Feng was quite tactful, but he snatched things from others, no matter how beautiful the disguise was, he couldn't look much when he finally saw the picture.
Xia Hu and the other two were ambitious people, so of course they could not give in to the soldiers and horses in their hands. After all, this is the foundation for their great achievements and their own preservation. So quarrels and scolding are inevitable, and then it turns into a ruthless battle.
Xia Hu, Xia Lei and Xia Yu are all good at strength, so they will naturally be stronger after joining forces.
Even though Xia Lei and Xia Yu suffered a loss and were injured at Xia Fan's hands, it was not fatal. It should be easy for them to join forces with Xia Hu to deal with Xia Feng alone.
But in fact, this is not the case. The strength shown by Xia Feng once took action caught Xia Hu and the other two off guard.
Although Xia Feng is not as powerful as Xia Fan, he also has the strength of the middle-level Grandmaster realm, so even against Xia Hu and the other two who joined forces, it is basically a crushing situation.
Although Xia Fan was tens of thousands of miles away, he saw all this with his divine thoughts and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, both for Xia Feng and for Xia Hu and the other three.
At this time, Xia Feng looked proud of his victory, because it was really exciting for him to defeat Xia Hu and the other two with one force. More importantly, if he defeated the three of them and took away their troops, he would have the capital to win and lose with the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
But in Xia Fan's opinion, the more proud Xia Feng is now, it only means that he is being plotted by the imperial master. Even the origin of this strength is not simple. At most, he will become the imperial master's puppet, which is definitely the saddest.
Xia Fan looked at the tragic phenomenon of Xia Hu and the other two, but he was not sympathetic at all, because this was what they asked for.
As long as the three of them have no worries about their lives, Xia Fan will never rescue him. Because they will not suffer a lot, they are afraid that they really don’t know what they are.
Xia Fan didn't have the patience to persuade them with great sincerity. To Xia Fan, being able to do this without seeing death is actually considered to be the end of kindness and righteousness.
…………………
The noise caused by Xia Feng and Xia Hu in Babu Ridge was really big. Of course, it was impossible to hide it from the Qianlong Guard who had been closely monitoring the actions of the Xia family's eight tigers.
So the information was quickly sent to Liu Xingchen's desk.
However, Liu Xingchen just took it over and glanced, then threw it directly on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "I ordered you to stare at the Eight Tigers of the Xia family to death. Report any movements about them one by one. That's how you did it?!"
"I am afraid, please forgive me." A general Qianlong who came to report the crime was guilty of fear and fear. But he had no idea where he was wrong.
When Liu Xingchen saw his timid appearance, he couldn't help feeling disgusted. However, he also knew that the only people he could rely on at the moment was just these people, so he had to suppress his anger: "I sent people to set up an ambush to kill Xia Xue and her 100,000 cavalry under her, but the 100,000 troops I sent were destroyed. Have you found out who did it?"
"Weichen took people to see it myself. Judging from the remaining battle traces on the ground, there seemed to be demons appearing, but the subordinates sent by Weichen to track the whereabouts of these demons were gone." General Qianlong lowered his head, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Then you found out where Xia Xue went?" Liu Xingchen said coldly: "One hundred thousand cavalry is not a small number. You can't just disappear under your nose, right?"
Speaking of this, Liu Xingchen paced back and forth a few steps: "In addition, the demons you are talking about must be Xia Fan's subordinates. They can kill my 100,000 soldiers, so the number of these demons is definitely quite large. Where did they go? Can the Qianlong Guard become blind?"
"I am dereliction of duty, please give up the crime." General Qianlong dared not defend himself, but just kowtowed repeatedly.
"Forget it, forgot." Liu Xingchen waved his hand and said, "Xia Fan is very sinister and cunning. If he wants to hide, it is not surprising that you can't find him. However, Qianlong Guard has always been my eyes and ears. Even if Qianlong Guard is not as strong as before, he cannot be so deaf and blind. You go down first, explore with all your might, and be sure to make the information more meticulous."
"yes."
When the new General Qianlong retreated, Liu Xingchen was silent for a moment and suddenly slapped the table in front of him with a palm.
Just now, his murderous intent was surging in his heart, and he really wanted to kill this ineffective waste. But he finally suppressed the anger in his heart, just because he knew that the Qianlong Guard and the Supplementary Court were no longer as good as before. A large part of the reason was related to Xia Fan.
Although Liu Xingchen hated his subordinates for being incompetent, he could not kill them all because of this. Otherwise, who else could he expect to deal with him in the future? Therefore, no matter how popular he is, he will have to be relieved in the end.
But there was no place to expose his anger in his heart.
In addition to the current situation annoying Liu Xingchen, what made him even more angry was that the passageway he placed in the flame world was continuously venting blue water flowing outwards, constantly eroding the flame world.
Liu Xingchen realized that if this continues, his flame world would probably change completely. However, with his current control over the flame world, there is really no better solution. All this was caused by Xia Fan. Thinking of this, he wished he could destroy Xia Fan and kill him and then destroy his nine clans.
