Chapter 8: After Tadashi

Xing'er was stunned for a moment and said, "This is simple, how much do you want, just ask for it!" Meijing shook her head and said: "It's not a matter of money, I'm a person in the rivers and lakes, I can't help but keep my promise!" Xing'er was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "This girl, do you know who she is?" She didn't tell you the truth at all. You don't have to pay attention to faith and righteousness to wickedness who deceive. ”

Meijing smiled: "Since you also know her, then let me ask you, do you know what her husband's name is?" Xing'er hesitated for a moment and said: "She is a traitor who usurped the world of the Tang Dynasty, and she can no longer be regarded as the daughter-in-law of the Li family!" Meijing said: "You don't count this." Unless you can take out the Li family's letter of resignation, she is the daughter-in-law of the Li family and has not lied to us. As for the rest, we don't bother to bother! ”

Xing'er was stunned for a moment, knowing that the other party was determined to protect Wu Zetian, so she shouted angrily: "Since you don't listen to my good words and persuasion, it seems that you have to compete!" Xing'er saw that Meijing's martial arts were not weak, so she didn't dare to be careless. Meijing did not show weakness, and said: "The girl has deep internal strength and exquisite swordsmanship, I also want to learn it!" ”

Xing'er Jiao snorted and swung her sword vigorously. Suddenly, the sword qi was agitated, and he attacked the beautiful scenery with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and the sea. Seeing that the other party's momentum was like a rainbow, Meijing didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly used her internal strength, waved the jade flute, and greeted her. only heard the sound of "pop", the swords collided, and Xing'er was shocked to retreat five or six steps in a row before she could gain a firm foothold. Apricot was startled, raised her eyes, but the beautiful scenery did not move at all, her expression was calm, and she did not take the opportunity to catch up.

Xing'er's face was pale, and she was unwilling, so she swung her sword and attacked it again. The beautiful scenery jade flute lifted it and greeted it directly. Xing'er knows that her internal strength is not as good as that of the other party, and this kind of hard-hitting style of play naturally can't be cheapened. Xing'er hurriedly changed her moves, and the sword was round, and she changed the split to sharpen, and went straight to the right flank of the beautiful scenery. Seeing this, Meijing also changed her moves, and the last one came first, blocking Xing'er's sword.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged dozens of moves, regardless of superiority. But Xing'er knew that she was not an opponent, and Meijing only defended and did not attack. Several times the apricots showed flaws, but the beautiful scenery did not attack. After fighting for a while, no matter how Apricot attacked, she just couldn't force Meijing to take a step back. In the blink of an eye, Xing'er's set of sixty-four exquisite swordsmanship was finished, and she still couldn't help the beautiful scenery. Fortunately, Meijing just wanted Xing'er to retreat and didn't attack Xing'er.

Xing'er was extremely annoyed, stopped, and said to Meijing with a depressed expression: "Don't fight!" Your martial arts are much higher than mine, and it's no fun to fight. Meijing withdrew her hand and said, "Girl, we are evenly matched, and no one has the upper hand." Xing'er asked, "Who are you?" I should have known who was the one who beat me! I'll try it with you again in the future! ”

Meijing glanced at Xing'er, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Originally, we didn't tell the winner, if you have to think so, I can't help it." My name is Lin Meijing, and I've been walking along the Xiangjiang River. "Xing'er is walking the rivers and lakes for the first time, so naturally I haven't heard the names of the three heroes of Xiaoxiang. She nodded, turned back to the burly man, and told her two brothers what Meijing said.

When the two of them heard this, their expressions changed greatly. The two discussed it for a while and walked together in front of the beautiful scenery. The two burly men arched their hands and said, "I thought it was who, it turned out to be the three heroes of Xiaoxiang here." In Xia Xu Zhitang, this is my brother Luo Sitang. Please Lin Feiyun Shaoxia and Liangchen Woman come out, I want to ask a few questions in person! ”

Xu Zhitang said these words loudly, and Feiyun, who was standing behind, heard them clearly. Feiyun came to the beautiful scenery with a good day. He bowed to Xu Zhitang and said, "Xu Shaoxia, Luo Shaoxia, this is my senior sister Liangchen next to you." I wonder what the two of you have to say? ”

Xu Zhitang thought for a while and said: "The three heroes of Xiaoxiang are famous, but why do they insist on protecting the wicked? Liangchen hurriedly said: "Meijing has explained the reason just now, and we have no choice but to do it, I hope you understand." Luo Sitang had a calm face and asked, "The three of you must already know the identity of this demon and her evil deeds. Why protect this heinous demon? This demon killed our ancestors, and we are here to avenge our hatred today! ”

Xu Zhitang said again: "Lin Shaoxia, if the demon returns to Luoyang, we will have no chance to take revenge at all. We're going to have to fight with you guys because of the numbers! Feiyun was shocked, if the two sides scuffled, there would be many casualties. Feiyun didn't want such a situation, and hurriedly said, "Wait." I also guessed the identities of the two and admired their ancestors very much. But if there is a scuffle, the casualties on both sides are unpredictable. I think so, it's better for you and me to have a competition, if you beat me, our brothers and sisters will leave immediately, and don't interfere in this matter! ”

It turned out that the fathers of these two were not ordinary people, they were Li Jingye and Luo Bingwang, who raised troops to defeat Wu Zetian in Yangzhou more than ten years ago. Li Jingye is the eldest grandson of Xu Ji, the famous founder of the Tang Dynasty, and Luo Bingwang is one of the famous poets in the early Tang Dynasty. More than ten years ago, Wu Zetian deposed her third son Li Xian from the throne and put the newly established fourth son Li Dan under house arrest. Wu Zetian sent someone to kill the former crown prince and her second son Li Xian, who had been deposed, and threatened the dynasty to usurp the throne.

Li Jingye hated Wu Zetian's usurpation of the dynasty, that is, he raised troops to rebel in Yangzhou. Li Jingye's confidant Luo Bingwang rushed to Yangzhou to help him and wrote for him the eternal text "Seeking Wu's Text". King Luo Bin scolded Wu Zetian in the text, and Wu Zetian was amazed by Luo Binwang's writing when he read it. It's a pity that Li Jingye's military ability is not as powerful as his grandfather's, and he was finally defeated, and Li Jingye and Luo Bingwang were killed.

When Yangzhou was defeated, Xu Zhitang and Luo Sitang were still young and studied art in Yandang Mountain. In recent years, Yicheng has gone down the mountain, and the two have united with their father's old ministry and have been looking for opportunities to take revenge. A month ago, Xu Zhitang got the news that Wu Zetian went out on patrol to Jingzhou, so he rushed to Jingzhou with Luo Sitang and the old department. His junior sister Dongfang Xing'er was also entangled to go together, but he couldn't resist the wayward Xing'er, so he had to take her with him.

After Xu Zhitang and others arrived in Jingzhou, they learned the news from the officials in the Jingzhou Yamen that Wu Zetian had already left the city the day before. Xu Zhitang and others immediately chased after them, and found that Wu Zetian and his party had gone to Dangyang in Baling Mountain. Xu Zhitang and Luo Sitang discussed it and decided to come out to intercept Wu Zetian and the others after they crossed Jinjia Lake. In this way, Wu Zetian naturally could not escape.

Feiyun has always respected Jingye and Luo Bingwang, and naturally he is unwilling to be enemies of their descendants. Feiyun proposed a method of competition, wanting to avoid casualties caused by the melee. After all, once they fall into a melee, Xu Zhitang and others will inevitably fight to the death in order to avenge their blood and revenge. In order to protect Wu Zetian's safety, Feiyun and the others could not control the situation.
