Everyone's eyes moved, followed the sound, and all looked towards Xia Xuan on the left.

Xia Xuan took out his mobile phone from his pocket, glanced at the phone number displayed on the screen, and his eyes froze slightly.

He raised his head, and immediately prepared to say something to Xia Zu.

However, Xia Zu already knew his meaning from his subtle movements, he hummed lightly, and waved his hands casually.

Seeing this, Xia Xuan stopped hesitating immediately, and quickly walked to a corner with the phone in his hand, connected the phone and put it next to his ear.

After a short conversation, he walked quickly to Xia Zu's side with a solemn face, and leaned over to listen to him.

Everyone around the long table looked at the two of them curiously, wanting to know what kind of news the phone call just brought could make Xia Xuan look like this.

Unfortunately, they were unable to analyze any useful information from Xia Zu's facial expressions.

Xia Zu's eyes flickered for a moment, and then there was no change.

It wasn't until Xia Xuan stood up after the end of ear attachment that he said lightly:

"Let's end today's discussion here, and you can settle down with your own business."

Hearing this, everyone was extremely curious, but Xia Zu had spoken like this, and they had no choice but to leave one by one regretfully.

In less than half a minute, there were only three people left in the chamber.

Apart from Xia Zu and Xia Xuan, there was also that thin old man with gray hair, Xia Dongfang.

"What happened?" Xia Dongfang asked suspiciously.

"Second Uncle, I just got the news from the people below that Kong Ying and Huang Ye died, and they died in the Camellia Tavern." Xia Zu replied with a slight frown.

As soon as these words came out, Xia Dongfang's face changed suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Dead? How is it possible? Huang Ye is a fifth-level S-level awakener. He is powerful and prudent..."

"indeed so."

Xia Zu interrupted him, and then Xia Xuan gave a detailed account of what happened.

After Xia Dongfang listened, he stood there without saying a word for a long time.

This news was a bit too shocking for him.

You know, they just entered the imperial capital this morning... Unexpectedly, Huang Ye and Kong Ying died in the afternoon.

They didn't do anything here, and inexplicably damaged two S-rank awakeners.

It was as if someone had poured a basin of ice water from a deep well in the cold winter months.

It took a long time before Xia Dongfang digested the news.

The fine wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, thoughts kept flashing through his mind, and he said slowly after deliberation:

"Is it possible that those five masters acted to show us off?"

"It's impossible."

Xia Xuan on the side took the conversation, shook his head and denied his conjecture.

I just heard him explain: "The five great families have been aloof for thousands of years, and they are used to arrogance. With our current strength, we are far from being looked down upon by them.

They will only choose to sit on the sidelines in order to follow up, instead of warning us in such a direct way.

Moreover, according to the battle process described by the following people, there was an extremely dark mist floating in the tavern. This is obviously the opponent's concealment of identity, which is not in line with the usual style of the five families. "

Xia Xuan has been in the imperial capital for many years, and he has a deep understanding of the five thousand-year-old families.

Therefore, Xia Dongfang believed most of his explanations, and he couldn't help nodding his head slowly to show his agreement.

"But if it wasn't someone from the five great families, who would it be?

In such a short period of time, Kong Ying and Huang Ye were killed almost without making any noise. The opponent's strength was probably above the sixth level. "

Xia Dongfang's face became extremely serious, and he was thinking hard, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Heh! It's so obvious against my Gaoling Xia Clan, the identity of the enemy doesn't need to be said any more, it's already clear." Xia Zu snorted coldly, and suddenly said.

As soon as these words came out, Xia Dongfang seemed to be enlightened, and his pupils shone brightly.

He suddenly thought of a very mysterious and powerful unknown force.

Xia Lin's death and the explosion of the Taishan mine were all related to the other party.

However, Xia Dongfang really did not expect that the powerhouses possessed by this mysterious force were much bigger than he had imagined, and there were even S-level awakened people above the sixth level.

Such forces should not be underestimated!

Xia Zu, who sat upright in the first place, could no longer remain calm for a while, and the murderous intent in his brows and eyes almost condensed into substance.

To be honest, he didn't expect the opponent to be so strong.

I thought that the fifth-tier S-tier was already powerful, but who knew that a sixth-tier had popped up.

What's even more frightening is that they haven't found any clues until now.

The other party seemed to be a god of death hiding in the darkness, and he kept waving the sickle in his hand at the Gaoling Xia family, harvesting the backbone one after another.

How could Xia Zu maintain his composure?

"Second Uncle, have you found anything about the nets that were cast in Gaoling?"

Hearing this, Xia Dongfang shook his head, let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "The fishing net has been thrown out for many days, but there is not even a shadow of a tadpole caught.

I have also started to investigate from Xia's enemies in recent years, but there is still no trace.

This time, I am afraid that I have encountered a hard stubble.

Now that the enemy is dark and we are clear, the road ahead may not be easy. "

Xia Dongfang frowned, his eyes full of worry.

Seeing this, Xia Zu's murderous intent became more and more intense, but it was a pity that he was too weak and had nowhere to use it, which gradually gave birth to a trace of irritability in his calm heart.

wow.

Xia Zu stood up suddenly, his burly figure like an iron tower cast a shadow on the long table.

He stared at his own shadow, narrowed his eyes, and slowly ordered: "Pass down the order, order the rest of the people to hide their tracks and keep silent. No one is allowed to act without my order."

Before the words landed on the ground, a gust of strong wind suddenly blew, and Xia Zu disappeared in place abruptly, without knowing where he was going.

Xia Xuan and Xia Dongfang were the only ones left in the conference hall. They looked at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes, and...

Deep helplessness.

It's another big chapter, there's more tonight, I don't know if it's one chapter or two, everyone should go to bed early and read it tomorrow.

In short, since I resumed the update recently, it has basically been a big chapter, and my thinking is like a flood breaking a bank.

Especially today, it feels so good, I may have to code until two or three in the morning.

116 The new deputy director

So and so, nothing to say all night.

The next morning, at the office on the top floor of the Security Bureau.

Qin Mo habitually sat in his old position next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, browsing all kinds of information bored.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he pointed to a message published by the Imperial Capital Morning Post this morning.

The above content is: His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire called five state officials and important officials from various departments to hold a court meeting in the restricted area of ​​the imperial family at nine o'clock this morning.

"Ok?"

Qin Mo frowned slightly, feeling suspicious.

He clearly remembered that Li Mou once told him that court councils were usually held only at the beginning of each month.

If it is at another time, it is usually an urgent matter, such as an accident at the border, or it was initiated by a person with a very high status.

And now...

Qin Mo glanced at the calendar, it was obviously not the beginning of the month.

"It seems that nothing serious has happened at the border recently..."

He has to browse a lot of news about the border on his mobile phone every night. If there is a big event, it is absolutely impossible for him to miss it.

Even if the upper echelon blocked the news of ordinary people, it is impossible for the Li family in Qingyang not to know about it, and Li Mou would definitely let him know.

Therefore, eliminating these two possibilities, only the last one remains.

A person with a very high status and great power has initiated this court meeting on his own initiative.

"Is it one of the five thousand-year-old families? But what is it?"

Qin Mo was extremely puzzled.

The timing is extremely sensitive now. The Xia clan of Gaoling just entered the imperial capital in a big way yesterday. They wanted to start building momentum for promotion to the top family, so today they convened a court meeting.

There must be some connection between the two parties.

However, Qin Mo is only a second-class Guanneihou, with only a false name but no real power, so he is not qualified to participate.

Of course, if it is a first-class champion, it is naturally a different kind of treatment.

Xia Zu could not only participate in the court deliberations, but even get a very high seat, second only to the five princes.

But well...

Although Qin Moren is not there, his ears can be there.

Thinking like this, he leaned back on the chair, and quietly released his super hearing.

The nearby information rushed into Qin Mo's mind immediately, and the coverage area of ​​the super hearing became larger and larger, and soon entered the restricted area of ​​the royal family.

Qin Mo discarded the complicated information from other directions, concentrated his listening and focused on the ancient hall where the discussion was held.

However, a strange scene appeared.

Qin Mo frowned gradually, his eyes flickered, and a look of astonishment flashed across.

He didn't eavesdrop on anything, not even a word.

This is the first time such a strange thing has happened, and it has never been encountered before.

"Hey, that's weird."

Qin Mo muttered something in a low voice, and the super brain was running rapidly, quickly analyzing and calculating this abnormal event.

Soon, he had an answer in his heart.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with super hearing, there is no doubt about it.

Then there is only one explanation left. The ancient hall where the court discusses affairs has some unknown barrier that can hinder other people's exploration.

"It seems that the decision to conduct the discussion in this ancient antique hundreds of years ago is not only to show the majesty of the royal family..."

Qin Mo shook his head, and regretfully withdrew his hearing.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the existence of this barrier is very reasonable.

To put it bluntly, the court deliberations were the center of the Great Qin Empire's power, and most of the discussions there were crucial and top-secret matters.

If it is so easy to be detected by others without any defense, it will appear very abnormal.

But now, not only is he absent, but his ears are also absent.

Qin Mo can only wait for Li Mou's side to finish, and then tell him again.

Thinking like this, the time soon came to the afternoon.

The clock hanging on the wall just passed two o'clock, and Qin Mo also just finished lunch and played billiards here, and returned to the office.

He took some goji berries and threw them into a thermos cup, then took a cup of boiling hot books, and walked to the window with it.

Through the window, Qin Mo glanced at the sun hanging in the sky, smiled slightly with the corners of his mouth curled up, and whispered softly:

"Today's weather is not bad."

As soon as the words came out of the mouth, the smile on the corner of Qin Mo's mouth suddenly froze, and his earlobes moved slightly.

Several heavy footsteps sounded rhythmically outside the room, and gradually approached towards the door of the office.

Qin Mo turned his head while holding the thermos. Although his pupils did not change, his perspective had been opened.

The thick wall turned into an illusion, and I saw three men and a woman walking towards here outside.
