Chapter 448: The Decisive Battle at Fengxian Temple (3)
Enke's successive situations also gave birth to an ominous omen in Wu Zetian's heart.
Although the previous two small problems did not have much impact, she still felt that the situation seemed to be a little out of his control.
Those two episodes are basically the handiwork of Wu Sansi.
And Wu Zetian believes that Wu Sansi must have a follow-up move.
However, she didn't care too much about Wu Sansi's small movements, because she knew very well that Wu Sansi didn't dare to make too much trouble.
But if Wu Sansi has small moves, will others also have small moves?
Before contacting, the exposure of the southbound route she personally designed is enough to illustrate the seriousness of the problem.
There was also the ambush on Bajiao Mountain, Wu Sansi almost swore to the sky that he had no intention of harming Yang Shouwen's life. However, as Wu Sansi's eagle dog minion, why did Sun Siguan change his mind without authorization and murder Yang Shouwen?
Also, what role did Princess Taiping play in the incident?
Otherwise, why would she have contact with Sun Siguan by her side?
If Princess Taiping is also involved, what role do the crown prince Li Xian, the prime minister Li Dan, and those Li Tang clans play?
A series of questions surfaced in Wu Zetian's mind.
She even thought of the incident when Mo Si suddenly sent troops to Hebei Province last year. Originally, she and Mo Si had already made an agreement to let Wu Yanxiu marry Mo Si's daughter, but Mo Si did not object. Why did Mo Si suddenly change his mind when Wu Yanxiu arrived?
After the end of the war in Hebei Province, Wu Zetian was not without suspicion and also conducted an investigation.
Because, that rebellion was too weird, there were heavy troops in Hebei Daotun, but when Mo Si sent troops. The Jingnan army made Murong Xuanwei surrender, Dingzhou assassin Sun Yangao was defeated without a fight, and Tang Panruo also planned to surrender......
The rescue of the Heavenly Soldier Road is not timely; The Divine Soldier Road did not move.
On the Youzhou side, the soldiers and horses from all walks of life seemed to be completely unaware of the movements of the Su Mo Yan people, and sat back and watched the rebels break through the Juyong Pass.
All of this is weird.
Xiao Luantai did his best. But nothing was gained.
Shangguan Wan'er also lost dozens of secret agents for this, but none of them found an answer.
This shows that the other party is very deep hidden and his strength is also very strong. If not, why would Xiaoluantai also fail?
Someone who can have this kind of strength......
Wu Zetian is old after all, and he was replaced by ten years ago...... No, maybe five years earlier, if this kind of thing happened, she would have gone on a killing spree. Set off a bloody storm. But now, she needs to stabilize the situation, and she doesn't have the courage to kill and be decisive back then. She wanted to find evidence to address the situation as small as possible......
But now it seems to be a bit of a problem.
Wu Zetian felt that she needed to strengthen her control, rather than letting these people below continue to mess around.
But who is left to balance this turmoil below?
She sat on the dragon chair, her phoenix eyes slightly closed. Lost in thought.
"Grandmother, can you start?"
Li Bao'er's voice. It sounded in Wu Zetian's ears.
Wu Zetian suddenly opened his eyes, stood up with a sigh, and said in a deep voice: "Spread my will, please watch the battle with me." β
"Huh?"
Li Bao'er was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Wu Zetian suspiciously.
Wu Zetian smiled: "What, don't you want to see how your big brother Yang kills all sides?" β
Li Bao'er's face flushed slightly. Although he was a little shy, he nodded generously and smiled happily.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Outside the temple, a high platform was erected.
Wu Zetian led hundreds of officials on stage and prepared to watch the battle in person.
And the lifters in the school field. I also heard the news that the saint would personally watch the battle, and it became a mess in an instant.
All kinds of emotions and thoughts filled the minds of the lifters, which also made the atmosphere of the school field hot all of a sudden.
Wang Xiufu was standing on the sidelines, arranging the stirrups.
A small colonel suddenly came up and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Wang, King Liang has a life, and after he plays later, he will rely on his skills, and there is no need to target Yang Shouwen." β
"Huh?"
Wang Xiufu was stunned and turned around.
However, the little colonel had already left, leaving only a back for him.
That is, the previous plan was canceled?
Wang Xiufu looked up at Yang Shouwen and saw Yang Shouwen sitting in the penglu, closing his eyes and recuperating.
His brows furrowed, and his heart was full of thoughts.
In his mind, Murong Yu's voice that night seemed to echo again: "Mr. Wang, you are strong in martial arts and a person with real skills. But although you are from a wealthy family, you are not valued by the clan. In the eyes of King Liang, no matter how powerful you are, you are just a martial artist, just an eagle dog under him.
Think about Sun Siguan, what a hero he is?
But what can you do! He won Wu Kui, but was forced by King Liang to sell himself for glory in the end. Now that he has died at the foot of the Octagonal Mountain, King Liang is also ignoring it, and he doesn't even dare to show his head. Do you really think you can be reused? β
"Mr. Wang, the master of my family, has a grudge against Yang Shouwen, and I can't wait to crush him to ashes.
As long as you can help my master solve the trouble, I will try to cover your escape and send you out of Luoyang at that time. After that, my master will arrange an identity for you to go to the side. With your skills, you can be promoted based on your military exploits. At that time, you yourself had great military exploits, and my master was secretly helping, so why worry about not getting ahead? β
Wang Xiufu subconsciously put his hand on his arm.
The cold feeling coming from his arm made him feel an inexplicable impulse.
He is in the royal family and has no status at all. In the past, he still had to think about his mother, but now that her mother has passed away, he no longer has any worries.
To fight, or not to fight?
Wang Xiufu hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind.

Knock knock knockββββ
The sun was already in the west, and the rumbling war drums sounded on the school field outside Fengxian Temple.
Thirty-eight lifters, after choosing their weapons, mounted their horses one after another.
In order to prevent further accidents, all movers must not use their own weapons, but must choose again. Yang Shouwen chose an ash pole with the thickness of his arm and a length of about two meters as a weapon. The ends of the ash rod were wrapped in cotton bags and stained with white stone powder.
In this era, the ash rod had not yet become a weapon in the army.
It was only after the Song Dynasty that it gradually emerged and became the main material for making guns.
In the Tang Dynasty, people were still accustomed to using Zhe wood or hard jujube wood to make guns. This is because the texture of these two types of wood is hard, similar to the iron guns usually used. In contrast, ash rods are somewhat soft and are not considered to be used as a material for making guns.
The ash rod selected by Yang Shouwen is as white as jade.
The nature of the ash rod is hard but not hard, soft but not broken, and the gun shaft can be bent to 180 degrees without splitting, and it is extremely flexible.
He weighed it in his hand a few times, quite satisfied.
Compared with the tiger swallowing, the weight of this ash rod is obviously insufficient, but it also has a weight of ten catties.
played twice in his hand, and then closed the yin and yang handles, and the ash rod fluttered and trembled, like a spiritual snake flying......
"Ah Lang, can you do it?"
Yang Jasmine glanced at the ash rod and was a little worried.
It's too soft and doesn't feel very reliable.
Yang Shouwen smiled and said softly, "Jasmine, you go down." β
"Whoa!"
Yang Jasmine withdrew from the school field, and Yang Shouwen turned over and got on the horse.
At the same time, he saw that the servants of Gu Yi Li and Du Morton had already set their horses on horseback.
Fugu Yili chose a hard jujube wood to use as a weapon, and the jujube wood was smeared with red lacquer, and one end was wrapped in a cotton cloth bag, which was covered with white ash.
Dumorton, on the other hand, replaced it with a wooden stick that was about three meters long and about three meters long.
Just looking at this stick, the weight is less than twenty catties, and Yang Shouwen has roughly guessed that his usual weapon should be a horse lance.
"What's the point of competing to change this Raushzi?"
Du Morton looked unhappy, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with this decision to temporarily change the weapon.
Fugu Yi Li smiled and said, "Du Morton, this is the saint's love for us. Swords and guns have no eyes, and if something happens, it is not beautiful. β
"Humph!"
Dumorton snorted coldly and did not comment.
Yang Shouwen silently observed on the side, and felt that Du Morton did not seem to respect Wu Zetian, and even despised it a little.
There was something strange in his heart, but he didn't show it.
At this moment, the second war drum sounded, Yang Shouwen and Fugu Yi Li glanced at each other, and urged the horse to go straight to the center of the school field. Dumorton was behind the two, urging the horse to follow unhurriedly. He looked at Yang Shouwen's back, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a hideous smile. It's just that Yang Shouwen and the others turned their backs to him and didn't look at his smile......
