This emperor is too strong!

Chapter 30 Identity Crisis
Xia Jue couldn't help being taken aback, then frowned and said, "Why, you still plan to find a chance to assassinate him?"

"Am I that stupid?"

The masked man laughed, and while walking with his hands behind his back, said slowly: "Do you know that Xia Ao once found someone who looked exactly like him to be his substitute?"

"Huh? There is such a thing?"

Xia Jue stared, quite surprised.

"Yeah, I was also surprised when I first heard the news."

Xia Jue was silent for a while, then sighed: "This kind of thing is absolutely secret, but even this kind of secret thing, you Pixiu Guards can find out, which shows how powerful Pixiu Guards are..."

The masked man squinted at Xia Jue, and said in a low voice: "Actually, it was a coincidence that almost all the people who knew about this matter were silenced by Xia Ao, leaving only Xu Shang, the manager of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, as an insider. "

"Xu Shangzi is Xia Ao's confidant, and he is loyal to Xia Ao. However, he has a son who is useless, and his son still knows about it unintentionally."

"It just so happens that this person has been developed into an outside line by my Pai Xiu Wei. I learned about this from Xu Shang's son."

Xia Jue squinted his eyes and asked in confusion: "But what does this have to do with killing Xia Ao?"

The masked man didn't answer directly, but said in a low voice: "Xia Ao's character has always been cautious, but since more than a month ago, he suddenly changed his temperament, becoming arrogant and lawless, you said this kind of change is a big deal. big?"

Xia Jue's pupils shrank, and he got up in shock.

"You mean, that double killed Xia Ao and replaced everything Xia Ao had?!"

"This possibility is not ruled out, but it may not be the case."

The masked man nodded, then shook his head.

"Since Xia Ao is cautious by nature, how can he have less control over the substitute? The possibility of the substitute wanting to stand up is very small."

"Perhaps Xia Ao did this to create an excuse to be assassinated. In this way, he can arrange a fake assassination and let the substitute die for him, so that he can plan other things secretly, such as taking advantage of the situation to mutiny?"

Having said that, the masked man paused slightly, then changed his tone.

"Of course, these are not important. Whether the current Xia Ao is the substitute, or Xia Ao is still Xia Ao, for us, the difference is not big."

"Since we know about it, no matter it's true or not, it must become true in the end——Xia Ao has been replaced by a substitute!"

"We can use Xu Shang's son to control Xu Shang, and then let Xu Shang personally identify that Xia Ao has been killed and replaced by a substitute!"

"With the personal identification of Xu Shang, the head of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, coupled with the huge change in Xia Ao's personality and behavior, I can't help others not believing it!"

Hearing this, Xia Jue finally understood.

After his thoughts suddenly became clear, Xia Jue's eyes also became brighter.

"That's right! Regardless of whether it's true or not, since we know about it, the real Xia Ao has to become a fake!"

"However, the old emperor probably won't believe it so easily. If he is stabbed directly, even if it is to appease Xiao Hongyuan, he will definitely verify it in detail!"

"So, to be on the safe side, let's find a way to throw it to Xia Feng or Xia Chang. If they find out, they will definitely not leave Xia Ao alive!"

"And in this way, Xiao Hongyuan will also spread his anger on them, and we can still reap the benefits!"

"Well said."

The masked man cast an appreciative look at Xia Jue, but then shook his head.

"Let's leave it to Xia Feng, Xia Chang's side is not safe."

"The Crown Princess has had two secret meetings with Xia Ao. I suspect that they may have reached a secret alliance."

Xia Jue nodded thoughtfully, without any objection.

The masked man smiled, and suddenly turned his head to look at the corner of the secret room.

"Wen Tao, tonight should be the day when Xu Shang returns home, right? I leave this matter to you, and you are responsible for it yourself."

Xia Jue's expression couldn't help changing when he saw a thin man in black robe emerging from the shadows.

There is actually a third person hidden in this secret room, and he still hasn't noticed anything wrong, it's really scary!
Pixiu Wei, it's really scary!
"promise!"

The black-robed man named Wen Tao clasped his fists respectfully, then took a step back and merged into the shadows again.

Xia Jue has been staring at it very hard, but he still hasn't found out how Wen Tao disappeared, and he can't tell whether Wen Tao has left the secret room...

Seeing that Xia Jue's face turned pale, the masked man smiled silently.

"Wen Tao is one of the most capable generals under my command. Even I am quite impressed by his ability to hide and sneak. You are only in the early stages of the Void Body Realm. It's normal that you can't find him."

Hearing the masked man's seemingly reassuring but actually warning introduction, Xia Jue forced a smile and did not speak.

If it was possible, how could he be willing to be manipulated all the time?
However, no one in the world can detoxify that Gu poison, and the power displayed in all aspects of the Dajin Dynasty made him feel powerless...

……

West Lake, the empty doorway of the painting boat, as a woman in a silver skirt with both heroic and delicate spirit passed by with a smile, Zhou Ying couldn't help breathing stagnantly, and felt a little scalp numb.

Because he actually felt the terrifying pressure of a prehistoric behemoth on this woman. Although it was only fleeting, it gave him the illusion of being out of breath.

Just as Zhou Ying was still in fear, he saw another tall blue-robed Taoist priest approaching in front of him.

The moment the two looked at each other, Zhou Ying suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an extremely dark abyss, and his body was sinking uncontrollably and crazily. He was so anxious that he wanted to roar and shout crazily, but found I can't even make a sound!
When Zhou Ying came back from a little dizziness, he found that he was still standing at the door of the painting boat, but the Taoist priest had disappeared, and only the beads of sweat rolling down his forehead silently reminded him that what he experienced just now was not an illusion !
He knew that these two people were the ones His Highness was waiting for, but he still couldn't help but turned his head and glanced inside.

Zhou Ying couldn't help being stunned when he saw two such terrifying people saluting Xia Ao respectfully.

Who are they?

Could it be the strong man arranged by the general?
Although there were many doubts in his heart, Zhou Ying did not have the desire to explore.

His nature is like this, he doesn't ask too many questions, and he doesn't talk too much about it.

As long as it is confirmed that these two people will not harm His Highness, that is enough.

In the painting boat, Xia Ao looked at the extremely respectful two people in front of him, and secretly sighed.

Originally, he was worried that these strong men who did not know how to appear might be rebellious, but now it seems that they should have been planted with some kind of restriction, or something else.

Otherwise, such two superpowers with terrifying strength would not respect him.
