Chapter 16: Refusal to co-opt

After the good day and the beautiful scenery left, Feiyun came to the courtyard. Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er were sitting in the pergola, chatting and admiring the flowers and plants in the flower garden. Wu Yuan and one of the guards stood silently on either side, looking around vigilantly.

Seeing Feiyun come out, Wu Zetian asked Wan'er to greet him, invited him over, and sat down on the chair beside him. Feiyun didn't shirk, and after thanking him, he sat down.

Feiyun looked at Wu Zetian and said, "Although the road was bumpy, Madame's spirit is still very good!" Wu Zetian smiled slightly and said: "I'm older, not as old as before, when I was young, I would definitely be as good as a good day and a beautiful scenery, and I couldn't be idle." ”

Feiyun knew that Wu Zetian had just seen the good day and the beautiful scenery and went out, so he said: "My two junior sisters are rude and naughty, and if they are offended, please bear with me!" ”

Wu Zetian smiled slightly, and said disapprerovitically: "When I was young, I was more willful than them. I like the cleverness of Liangchen and the frankness of the beautiful scenery. It would be nice if they could stay with me for a long time! ”

Feiyun heard what Wu Zetian said, and hoped that Liangchen and Meijing could go to the palace and be her personal attendant. If it were for ordinary people to do such a good thing, they would naturally not be able to ask for it. After all, it is a great honor to be favored by the emperor, and it will also get great benefits.

But Feiyun was not moved at all, he didn't react at all, and pretended not to hear the meaning of Wu Zetian's words. Of course, he also knew that even if he agreed, Liangchen and Meijing would not agree.

Feiyun smiled and said: "Madam, they are just mountain village aunts, they act willfully, and they don't know etiquette, but they can't afford such praise." Don't compliment them to your face, or they'll be even more arrogant and won't accept my restraints. ”

Shangguan Wan'er thought that Feiyun really didn't understand what Wu Zetian meant, so she said: "Lin Shaoxia, Madame really admires them, and hopes that they can accompany them." I wonder if the young man can cut his love? ”

Feiyun saw Shangguan Wan'er directly pick out the words, and forced Feiyun to answer directly. Feiyun knew that Wu Zetian didn't really appreciate the personality of Liangchen and beautiful scenery, but valued the martial arts of the two. Because compared to good days and beautiful scenery, Wu Yuan's martial arts are far inferior.

Feiyun hesitated for a moment, and slowly replied, "I can't be the master of this matter, Miss Shangguan can ask them herself." They are my sisters, not my slaves. Whatever they choose, I will respect their decision. ”

Feiyun didn't want to refuse directly, because that might embarrass Wu Zetian. If Liangchen and Meijing are unwilling, even if Wu Zetian is unhappy, it is inconvenient to deal with them. In case Wu Zetian gets angry, Feiyun can also mediate.

Wu Zetian had long felt that Liangchen and Meijing did not have a good impression of her, she originally wanted Feiyun to come forward, maybe the two of them listened to Feiyun's words and entered the palace to protect themselves. Since Feiyun is making excuses to shirk, he is obviously unwilling. Wu Zetian couldn't be reluctant, so he had to give up.

Shangguan Wan'er was very displeased when she saw that Feiyun didn't know how to lift, and said with a calm face: "Lin Shaoxia, it is a great grace to be able to enter the palace to serve the saint, you had better persuade them not to miss such a good opportunity." ”

Feiyun glanced at Shangguan Wan'er coldly, and said disapprovingly: "Some people can really do anything in order to get such an opportunity, even regardless of the life and death of their relatives. How can we, who are vulgar people in the mountains and wilderness, worthy to ascend to that elegant hall? ”

Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather and father offended Wu Zetian and were beheaded by Wu Zetian's order. At that time, Shangguan Wan'er had just been born, and she was admitted to the palace as a maid with her mother. When she grew up, Shangguan Wan'er was appreciated by Wu Zetian because of her outstanding literary talent, and she has been on the rise ever since.

Feiyun naturally heard about Shangguan Wan'er's deeds, and thought that this was a sycophant, shameless and forgetful of her ancestors, and was very disdainful of her. Therefore, between Feiyun's words, there is an implicit ridicule and is very polite.

Shangguan Wan'er was smart and clever, and of course she heard Feiyun's words. She couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, showing a hint of shame.

Wu Zetian was extremely dissatisfied, Feiyun said this, undoubtedly slapping her in the face, suspected of provoking right and wrong. If it was replaced by an ordinary person, or in the Luoyang Palace, Wu Zetian would have ordered to kill people a long time ago.

But under the current situation, Wu Zetian could only suppress his anger and pretend not to hear the meaning of Feiyun's words. Feiyun looked at Wu Zetian with a serious expression, knowing that she was unhappy in her heart. Feiyun didn't care about her attitude, stopped talking, got up and left, and returned to the guest room.

After a while, the innkeeper brought the meal. Feiyun asked about the inn by the way, only to know that in the past few days, there have been many people living in the front guest room. Feiyun was secretly shocked in his heart, suspecting that there were people with ulterior motives among them.

After Feiyun finished eating, he came to the courtyard. He saw that Wu Yuan was walking back and forth in the courtyard, so he said: "Chief Martial Guard, there are a lot of guests living in front, we still have to be more careful!" ”

Wu Yuan nodded and said, "I know, the situation is complicated now. In case something happens, please ask Lin Shaoxia to bother more. Feiyun responded: "Don't worry about this, we should do our best." ”

The two of them spoke a few words and walked away. They have only known each other for two days, and they don't know each other, so naturally they have nothing to say. Feiyun only wanted to protect Wu Zetian, and he really didn't have much interest in interacting with the guards.

In the eyes of Feiyun and the others, these guards were all greedy for glory and wealth. Unless it was a last resort, the three of Feiyun didn't bother to talk to them. Feiyun secretly thought that if there were enough reinforcements in Jingzhou, there would be no need for the three of them to stop with these people, and they would just help each other secretly.

As far as Wu Yuan's guards were concerned, they couldn't fully trust the three of Feiyun. Although the three Feiyun helped them fight off the assassins, no one could guarantee that the three would be fine. Maybe these three people are spies, just waiting for a more suitable opportunity.

Feiyun's extremely disrespectful attitude towards Wu Zetian made Wu Yuan and the guards very angry. If it weren't for the fear that the martial arts of the three people were too high, and they had to rely on the three for the time being, the guards would have had a seizure a long time ago.

Wu Yuan and others are Wu Zetian's cronies and guards, and they have unlimited scenery in the capital, and no one dares to mess with them. The three of Feiyun completely ignored their existence and didn't pay attention to them at all. For Wu Yuan and the others, He Zeng was so despised, which was even more difficult to accept than killing them.

The three of Feiyun knew what Wu Yuan and the others thought, but they didn't care at all, and they didn't plan to become friends with these guards. After arriving in Luoyang, they immediately parted ways, and there will be no time in the future!

Feiyun returned to the guest room, and when he saw that there was nothing to do for the time being, he sat down cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes to practice. Before Feiyun met Pei Shouyi, he was still very confident in his internal strength and internal strength. But as soon as Feiyun and Pei Shouyi fought, they found that their internal strength and internal strength were far inferior to each other, so they knew that there was a sky outside the sky, and there was a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in the rivers and lakes.
