Chapter 7: The Girl in Red
It's past noon and the sun is shining. While admiring the idyllic scenery of birds and flowers on both sides, Wu Zetian urged Wu Yuan to hurry up. She thought that since Miss Xiao could get her news, someone in the court would naturally report to her. Now all kinds of enemies and people who hate themselves will rush one after another, and although the three of Feiyun are strong in martial arts, it is difficult to ensure that they are foolproof. She looked at the picturesque scenery in the carriage, but her mind wondered who the leaker was.
After walking for more than two hours, the group arrived at Jinjia Lake. Jinjia Lake is like a ribbon lying on the road to Dangyang in the west, if you detour, at least one more day's journey. Fortunately, there is a ferry port by the lake, and several ferries are used to ferry people and goods across the lake.
Wu Yuan let three guards and the five guards on the first carriage get on board first, and after crossing the lake, eight guards protected the ferry. Wu Yuan saw that there was nothing unusual, so he asked Wu Zetian and the others to get off the car and get on the ferry. Wu Yuan followed and got on the boat and stood at the bow of the boat. He also asked Feiyun and the three of them to get on the boat and protect Wu Zetian in the back. The rest of the guards and horses followed closely in two boats.
As soon as Wu Zetian came ashore, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of the meeting and surrounded the ferry. Out of the crowd came three young men in brocade clothes, a woman and two men, all with swords in their hands, staring angrily at Wu Zetian and the others. They were not masked, the girl was dressed in red, she was very beautiful, and the two men were handsome men except for their dark faces.
Among them, the burly strong man shouted: "The demon on the other side, come out and die!" Wu Zetian was about to step forward, but was desperately stopped by Wan'er and Zhang Changzong. Wu Yuan took a few steps forward and shouted, "Who are you, why are you surrounding me and waiting?" Get out of the way, or you're welcome! The man on the left side of the strong man shouted, "You are just a dog minion, and you are not qualified to ask our names." Tell the wicked to come out, stretch out your neck and lead to death! ”
One of the guards was furious, shouted loudly, and rushed over with a wave of the steel knife. I only heard the girl in red on the opposite side pull out her sword and say, "Two brothers, this belongs to the younger sister!" Without waiting for the strong man in the middle to speak, she jumped into her body and flew in front of the guard in an instant. The two men on the opposite side glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly, but they didn't stop them.
As soon as he saw the girl's figure, Feiyun felt that the guard was definitely not an opponent, and even if Wu Yuan played by himself, he might not be able to win. Sure enough, as soon as the girl landed, she slashed at the guard with a sword of silver. The guard raised his sword and struck each other. I saw the guard fly backwards a few feet and fall to the ground.
The guard rolled over and got up, and was about to step forward again, but was stopped by Wu Yuan. Wu Yuan knew that the guard's martial arts were the highest among these guards, second only to himself. Now with just one move, he was beaten upside down by the other party. If the guard continues to fight, his life will be lost.
Wu Yuan's face changed drastically, and he glanced at the three of Feiyun. But because it did not endanger Wu Zetian's safety at this moment, the three of Feiyun did not have any expression. Wu Yuan had no choice but to go out in person, and he flew in front of the girl in red.
Wu Yuan arched his hand and said, "The girl is extraordinary, I admire it." What exactly do you have to do with us, please tell us face to face! Before the girl in red could reply, the strong man behind shouted loudly: "Xing'er, this is the head of the demonic dog slave, and his martial arts are not weak, you have to retreat quickly!" Xing'er replied loudly: "Since he is the leader of the dog slave, he should be stronger than the pustule just now." Since we came down the mountain, we haven't met a real master, so we just used him to practice today! ”
Xing'er used enough internal force, and the silver sword slashed Wu Yuan like a lightning speed. Wu Yuan sneered, swung his knife vigorously, and blocked Xing'er's thunderous blow. The swords collided, and both of them were shocked back a few steps. The faces of the two changed drastically, and the strength of each other's internal strength was unexpected, and it seemed that they were equally skilled.
Wu Yuan roared angrily, and the treasure knife slashed towards Xing'er. He originally thought that Xing'er would raise her sword to parry, but she changed her move halfway and killed the other party by surprise. But Xing'er didn't take his knife hard, but dodged to Wu Yuan's left side. Wu Yuan was shocked, and was about to change his moves, but it was too late. I saw Apricot's sword piercing straight in.
Wu Yuan had no choice but to retreat, dodging Xing'er's sword. Feiyun saw that Xing'er was estimated to be inexperienced in fighting in the rivers and lakes, and she was a little nervous, so her movements were a little sluggish, which allowed Wu Yuan to escape. If Xing'er was faster, Wu Yuan would definitely be injured by the sword. Liangchen and beautiful scenery also saw the problem, and couldn't help sighing. Seeing this, the two men over there glanced at each other, but they only smiled slightly. Apparently they saw Apricot's flaws, but they didn't care.
Apricot succeeded in one move, and her confidence was greatly increased. She unfolded her exquisite swordsmanship, and attacked with a sword and Wu Yuan. Wu Yuan was dazzled and barely supported. After more than ten moves, there was a sudden "clanging" sound, and then Wu Yuan's body flew upside down for several feet and fell to the ground. The sword had landed, and blood was pouring from his right arm.
Xing'er was overjoyed, and shouted: "Demon, why is your dog slave so pustuated, and what other masters, come out to compete with this girl!" Wu Zetian glanced at the three of Feiyun, and saw that they were deaf and indifferent. She knew that she was not in danger, and the three of Feiyun would not make a move.
Wu Zetian didn't want to ask for help, but put aside Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Changzong in front of him, and strode out. She wants to put herself in danger, and the three of Feiyun have to help. Feiyun and the three naturally understood her intentions, but they had no choice but to follow her.
Wu Zetian waved his hand at Wu Yuan, who had just been helped up, motioned him to step back, and said to Xing'er: "Little girl, do you want to see me?" But why are you insulting me? Xing'er saw a middle-aged beautiful woman walking out slowly, knowing that it must be Wu Zetian, and couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "You are a martial demon?" Just in time, look at the sword! ”
Xing'er immediately waved her sword and rushed towards Wu Zetian. Meijing hurriedly jumped up, stood in front of Wu Zetian, and said, "Girl, wait!" Xing'er only felt a flower in front of her, and in a blink of an eye, there was a beautiful girl of the same age as herself, standing in front of Wu Zetian.
Xing'er was taken aback, how did the other party come, she didn't even see it clearly. It seems that this is the master by Wu Zetian's side, and Xing'er is overjoyed. Since she came down the mountain, she has not met an opponent, and she is extremely unhappy. This time I came to assassinate Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian, as the emperor, was naturally surrounded by top masters. But the battle between the two just now disappointed her. At this moment, I was excited to see the beautiful scenery.
Xing'er withdrew her sword and asked, "This girl, who are you?" Please don't meddle with things. This girl's sword does not want to touch the blood of innocents! Meijing smiled and said, "Miss Xing'er, I may be about to disappoint you." This Mrs. Li has hired the three of us as bodyguards to escort her to Luoyang. If you have a grudge, you will do it after she enters Luoyang. If you kill him now, we won't be able to explain it! ”
