Chapter 10: The Stone Bridge Gets Blocked

Wu Yuan was extremely cautious and let a few guards go in to check. After a while, the guards came out to tell Wu Yuan, but there was no one inside. Wu Yuan then invited Wu Zetian and the three of them to get out of the carriage, and entered the mountain temple surrounded by guards, leaving the carriage and horses in the thatched hut next to the temple.

After everyone entered, they found that the mountain temple was not large, with only one main hall and two side halls on the left and right. The main hall was quite spacious, except for a statue of a god, a god case, and a few, the inside was empty. Fortunately, there are some dry wood in the two small side halls on the left and right.

Wu Yuan had the wood carried to the main hall, and a fire was lit in the middle. The people took turns standing in front of the fire, drying their soaked clothes. Shangguan Wan'er spread out a piece of embroidered cloth she had brought with her, placed it at the foot of the wall, and invited Wu Zetian and Zhang Zongchang to sit down.

Feiyun saw that it was dark outside, and the rain was increasing, and it had become a violent storm. Feiyun told Wu Zetian that he could only spend the night in the mountain temple, and his three brothers and sisters went to the side hall on the left to spend the night. Feiyun asked Wu Yuan to arrange for someone to be on duty at night just in case. Wu Yuan glanced at Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian nodded in agreement.

The three of Feiyun came to the left side hall, lit a fire, and dried their clothes. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the heavy rain to fall, and they entered the mountain temple, and although the clothes of Liangchen Meijing were wet, there was no embarrassment. The clothes were dried, and the three of them sat down around the fire. Although it was spring, it was still a little cool at night in the stormy night.

Liangchen looked outside the door and said, "Senior brother, wait for you to have a good rest, and Meijing and I will take turns keeping vigil." Feiyun said, "I don't need you, I'll keep vigil alone." Meijing objected: "How can it be, or according to the rules, the three of them take turns!" Feiyun smiled slightly, knowing their personalities, so he had to acquiesce.

At this time, Wu Yuan came in and said, "Lin Shaoxia, I have arranged for the guards to take turns to be on duty at night, and the three of them can rest assured." In today's weather, it is estimated that no one will come. Later, I'll have someone bring some food for the three of us. ”

Feiyun said: "Your whereabouts have been exposed, and Mrs. Li has many enemies, so it's better to be careful!" We bring our own food, so we don't have to bother you. Wu Yuan didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

The three of Feiyun simply ate some food they brought with them and practiced for a while. After that, Feiyun let Liangchen Meijing rest, and he was on duty first for the night, and then he was changing them. Liangchen refused, insisting that Feiyun rest first and be the first to keep vigil. Feiyun saw that it was still pouring rain outside, and thought that in such a rain, there would indeed be no one to stab, so he agreed to Liangchen.

Feiyun sat on the ground with his back to the wall and closed his eyes to rest. Listening to the sound of wind and rain outside and the occasional thunder, the two slowly fell asleep. Only Liangchen was still sitting at the door, holding a jade flute, vigilantly watching the drizzle outside......

The next morning, the weather cleared, and the rain stopped in the middle of the night. After a little packing up, they set out on their way westward. It had just rained heavily, and the potholed roads were waterlogged and muddy, and the carriage could only move slowly. After the rain washes down, the flowers and trees on the roadside seem more vibrant, and the air is filled with fresh air.

The three of Feiyun still followed the back of the carriage and walked slowly, and Liangchen and Meijing were still looking around vigilantly. After walking for more than half an hour, they came out of the mountains and forests, and found that there was a small river in front of them, and after crossing the stone bridge over the river, it was a rice field. Everyone thought that it was not far from the bazaar, and they couldn't help but be extremely happy.

At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from behind. Immediately afterwards, the three of them rode past Feiyun and the others, rushed to the stone bridge, grabbed the reins, and turned the horse's head. Wu Yuan, who was walking in the front, saw that the other party was lined up, blocking the way, and secretly thought that the comer was not good, so he hurriedly stopped moving.

Wu Yuan slowly urged him forward, arched his hand towards the three of them, and asked, "May I ask the three brothers, why are you blocking our way?" A middle-aged man in gray clothes on the opposite left glanced at the carriage behind Wu Yuan and said coldly: "This brother, we are tracking down an enemy. We're worried she's hiding in your carriage, so check it out. ”

Wu Yuan's face sank, and he said displeasedly: "Your Excellency's words are too rude, the car is the hostess of my family, and it is inconvenient to see outsiders." As for your enemy, we have no knowledge of it, and we have not befriended any strangers lately. Please get out of the way, let us pass, and don't delay our way! ”

The middle-aged man snorted and said, "We haven't finished checking the carriage, so we definitely can't give way!" Wu Yuan said with disdain on his face: "It depends on the three of you, you may not be able to do it, I advise the three of you to leave as soon as possible, so as not to hurt and be angry!" As soon as Wu Yuan's voice fell, the guards behind him drew their swords one after another, preparing to attack the three people.

At this time, the middle-aged man looked at the young man in the middle, as if asking for his opinion. The young man was about twenty years old, with clear eyebrows and an extraordinary bearing. He glanced at Wu Yuan and said, "Your Excellency, we don't want to hurt the harmony. I don't think it's better to ask all the people in the car to come out and make a show. If it's not the person we're looking for, we'll get out of the way at once. What do you think? ”

Wu Yuan said angrily: "I said no, no, my master, can you see me if you say you want to see it?" If you don't give way, we'll have to break through! The young man smiled and said, "In that case, it seems that we have to go and see it ourselves!" With that, he waved his hand at the young man in blue on his right.

The young man in blue was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he carried a treasure knife on his back. As soon as he saw the young man in red wave his hand, he immediately jumped up from his horse, crossed the top of Wu Yuan's head, and flew towards the carriage. Wu Yuan didn't expect the other party to be so skillful, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Wu Yuan wanted to fly to stop him, but it was too late. The boy flew close to the carriage and slammed his palm into the air at the guards in the carriage.

The guard hurriedly swung his sword to meet him, only to hear a "clang" sound, and the guard's steel knife had been shot down. Then the guard let out an "oops" and fell from the carriage to the ground. The young man was already standing in the carriage, and was about to lift the curtain.

At this moment, a coquettish voice came from the side of the carriage: "Don't be rude! A strong palm force came at the young man. The young man saw that his palm was surging, so he had to withdraw his hand, turn around, and wave his palm to fight back. With a snap, the palms touched, and the young man was shocked and flew backwards several feet and fell to the ground.

The young man hurriedly looked across and saw a girl in green who was seventeen or eighteen years old. It turned out that Feiyun saw that Wu Yuan and the other party were getting stiffer and stiffer just now, so he asked Liangchen to go to the carriage to protect him, and he was ready to take action at any time. As soon as Liangchen walked to the carriage, he saw the young man about to lift the curtain. Liangchen hurriedly drank and attacked with a wave of his palm.

The palms touched, and Liangchen couldn't help but take a few steps back. After all, the other party is condescending and has an advantage. However, in this fight, Liangchen saw that the opponent's internal strength was slightly inferior to himself, otherwise he would not have been shaken off the carriage. Liangchen immediately flew up and landed in front of the young man, in case he got into the carriage again.
