Chapter 14: Heavy casualties

Wu Zetian sent someone to investigate for a long time, only to know that this person with strong martial arts is called Pei Shouyi, and he is Pei Shoude's younger brother. This person is a famous ranger on the rivers and lakes, with strong martial arts, known as the first sword in the Central Plains. This person is extremely mysterious and his whereabouts are erratic.

A few years have passed, and the people sent by Wu Zetian to hunt down have found nothing, and there is no news of Pei Shouyi. Wu Zetian was in the carriage just now, and when he saw the young man who looked like Li Zhen, he knew that he was Li Zhen who was rescued back then.

Feiyun saw that Wu Zetian was silent, so he said, "Mrs. Li, I don't care about your rights and wrongs. But you have also seen that the people who came this time have martial arts above our brothers and sisters. So I just wanted to know more about them so that I could try to deal with them. If it's not convenient for you to say, it's not reluctant! ”

Liangchen estimated that this matter might involve royal privacy, so he smiled slightly and said, "Madam, although they have temporarily retreated, with their hatred for you, it is estimated that they will not stop there." If there is one more of them today, I am afraid we will not be able to protect you. ”

Liangchen wanted to use this to force Wu Zetian to explain the situation and the situation, but her words were not alarmist, but the truth. If Pei Shouyi had one or two masters to help him just now, even if the three of Feiyun worked hard, they would not be able to guarantee Wu Zetian's safety.

Wu Zetian had witnessed the fight just now and knew that Liangchen was telling the truth. Only then did he reluctantly briefly talk about the rebellion between Li Zhen and Pei Shoude back then. She said that Pei Shouyi was Pei Shoude's younger brother, and he was also a famous master of the rivers and lakes back then, known as the first knife in the Central Plains.

Feiyun, Liangchen, and Meijing couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard this, and their faces changed dramatically at the same time. Although they had never heard of Pei Shouyi's name, they knew the prestige of the first knife in the Central Plains. Lin Yue walked the rivers and lakes back then, and heard that there was a person, extremely powerful, not only deep internal force, but also exquisite knife skills, no one on both sides of the Yellow River could not be defeated, so it was called the first knife in the Central Plains.

However, Lin Yue was only hearsay, and he had never seen the first knife in the Central Plains, and he didn't know the name of this person. Lin Yue just warned Feiyun and the three of them that if they encountered the first knife in the Central Plains, they must be extremely careful and try not to be an enemy of him.

Feiyun didn't expect to really encounter the first sword in the Central Plains, and his martial arts are indeed unfathomable. Feiyun felt that Pei Shouyi didn't use all his strength just now, otherwise the three of his senior brothers and sisters would join forces, and I am afraid they would not be opponents. The good day and the beautiful scenery also have palpitations, and they secretly call it a fluke.

Wu Zetian saw that Feiyun's expressions had changed greatly, and then he was silent and asked, "Lin Shaoxia, do you know this person?" Feiyun sighed and said, "Mrs. Li, I really didn't expect to meet such a senior master. It seems that it is not an easy task to keep Luoyang safe. If there are more powerful characters in the future, it will be troublesome. ”

Wu Zetian heard that Feiyun had the heart to retreat in the face of difficulties, and he was secretly anxious in his heart. If Feiyun left it alone at this time, relying on the few remaining guards, Wu Zetian might not be able to move an inch.

Wu Zetian hurriedly said: "Lin Shaoxia doesn't have to be discouraged, it is estimated that there are very few people who are more powerful than this Pei Shouyi. I think the three of you will definitely be able to defeat this Pei Shouyi if you join forces. ”

Feiyun smiled bitterly and said: "Among the rivers and lakes, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, there are many people who are more powerful than Pei Shouyi. Even if the three of us join forces, we will have a tie with Pei Shouyi at most. You don't have to worry, since we promised to escort you back to Beijing, we naturally won't give up halfway. ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I believe that you are chivalrous people who do what you say, but I am worried that something will happen to me because of me, how can I bear it?" ”

Liangchen interjected at this time: "Mrs. Li, if you really believe us, I have a way to let us reach Luoyang smoothly, but I'm worried that Madam won't agree!" ”

Liangchen didn't discuss with Feiyun and Meijing in advance, Feiyun and Meijing knew that Liangchen was smart and clever, and must have thought of a way to deal with the current situation, so they weren't surprised by Liangchen's words.

Wu Zetian was overjoyed and said: "Miss Liangchen, she is really witty. Tell me, what's the solution? As long as your plan works, I'll naturally agree! ”

Liangchen smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid that your enemies from all walks of life already know your whereabouts, and they will definitely intercept and kill them along the way." Now there are only two soldiers, and the captain of the military guard escorts the Shangguan girl and this Mr. Zhang to walk in front, and our senior brothers and sisters and you walk behind. ”

As soon as Liangchen's voice fell, Zhang Changzong expressed his opposition. He didn't dare to say that Liangchen had bad intentions, but said that he had to be with Wu Zetian. Liangchen ignored him and just looked at Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian was very hesitant, although she believed that the three of Feiyun had no malicious intentions, but after all, they had only known each other for two days. Wu Zetian has not confirmed the situation of the three Feiyun, and now he wants her to follow the three of Feiyun alone, which feels really risky. Wu Zetian couldn't say it clearly, but if she didn't agree with Liangchen's method, it undoubtedly showed that she didn't fully trust the three of Feiyun.

Feiyun thought that Liangchen's idea was good, but when he looked at Wu Zetian's expression, he knew that Wu Zetian didn't fully believe in him. Of course, with Wu Zetian's identity and personality, it is indeed not easy to trust a person.

Feiyun thought for a while and said, "Liangchen, your method is naturally okay for others. But Mrs. Li's identity is too special, even if she agrees, her subordinates will not agree, and there is no need to mention this matter again. Liangchen pursed his lips and said no more.

At this time, Wu Yuan had already gotten up, and after checking the situation of the guards, he came over and reported to Wu Zetian. Five guards were killed and six were seriously wounded. Now there were only four uninjured guards left, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Wu Yuan asked Wu Zetian to hurry back to Luoyang directly, and ordered the Jingzhou government to send troops to protect him. Otherwise, if you encounter an assassination gangster, you will rely on the current manpower, and I am afraid it will be difficult to resist.

Wu Zetian couldn't help frowning when he heard this. She knew that Wu Yuan had lost confidence and was a little flustered. Wu Zetian couldn't help but regret a little, there were too few guards brought out this time. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, and asked Wu Yuan to send someone to Jingzhou to find Changshi Zhang Cambodia.

Wu Yuan promised to make arrangements. Feiyun stopped Wu Yuan and said to Wu Zetian: "Mrs. Li, I think it's probably inappropriate to send someone to Jingzhou. Wu Zetian was surprised and asked, "Why?" ”

Feiyun said calmly: "I want to ask Madame, does anyone in the Jingzhou Government know about your whereabouts of Weifu patrol?" Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, and replied: "I didn't alarm the government, and the officials in Jingzhou shouldn't know." Maybe Zhang Khan Zhi may have heard some rumors, but he probably won't reveal my whereabouts. ”

Feiyun asked suspiciously, "Why does Madam believe in this person so much?" Wu Zetian smiled slightly and said: "This person was recommended by Di Ge Lao, I believe Di Ge Lao, naturally I will not suspect this person." After a few days of observation, I feel that this person is indeed very capable and manages Jingzhou in an orderly manner! ”
