Chapter 18: The Five Masters
Feiyun didn't care about Wu Yuan's attitude, and said humbly: "Don't dare to take this seriously. There are masters in the rivers and lakes like clouds, and I am really nothing these two times. Pei Shouyi's predecessors I met today, his martial arts are far above me. ”
Wu Yuan heard Feiyun mention Pei Shouyi, his face changed suddenly, and he said: "This traitor is indeed very powerful, but he still fled in front of you." Besides, there should not be many powerful masters like this. ”
Liangchen said: "Captain Wu Guard, don't underestimate the people of the rivers and lakes. As far as I know, in addition to this No. 1 sword in the Central Plains, there are at least four martial artists who are not under this person. ”
Wu Yuan was taken aback and hurriedly asked who the other four were. Liangchen saw that he looked down on the people in the rivers and lakes, so he told him one by one. Now in the rivers and lakes, there are five masters. The Central Plains is dominated by the first sword in the Central Plains, the south of the Yangtze River is respected by the Nanyue Sanren, the most powerful in the East is the East Yijian, the most powerful in the West is the old man of Ximen, and the North is headed by Murong Jushi.
These five people have their own stunts, and their martial arts are unfathomable, so they are called the five masters by the rivers and lakes. Liangchen didn't want others to know his origin, so he didn't say that Nanyue Sanren was the master of the three of them.
Wu Yuan has been in the palace for a long time, and although he occasionally walks the rivers and lakes, he knows very few people in the rivers and lakes, so naturally he has never heard of these people. When he learned that Pei Shouyi had such a reputation, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
When Feiyun saw that he was approaching, Liangchen and Meijing also sweated and let them go back to their rooms to rest. Liangchen and Meijing arched their hands towards Wu Yuan and turned to leave. Feiyun reminded Wu Yuan to be careful. Afterwards, Feiyun also returned to his guest room.
In the early morning of the next day, Feiyun got up early and came to the courtyard. The night was uneventful, which surprised Feiyun. However, it is always good that nothing happens, and it is estimated that those assassins feel that it is easy to cause trouble by doing something in the town, so they will not act.
Feiyun moved around the courtyard for a while, and the good day and beautiful scenery came out. When the two of them saw that Feiyun was already in the courtyard, they couldn't help but blush, and they were a little ashamed of sleeping in bed.
Liangchen hurriedly said: "Senior brother, you still have to live here today, why do you get up so early?" Feiyun smiled slightly, knowing that she was trying to hide their embarrassment by talking. Feiyun didn't really care, so he said: "The birds and flowers outside are really attractive, and I naturally can't sleep." ”
Jingjing's demeanor returned to normal, and then said: "Senior brother, everything was safe last night, and there will be nothing wrong in the next two days." Do you want to go for a walk in the streets? ”
Feiyun didn't answer, but punched. Seeing this, Liangchen and Meijing had no choice but to practice with him. The three of them will practice separately, and the other will attack each other, full of interest.
After a while, Wu Yuan accompanied Wu Zetian to the courtyard. Wu Zetian saw that the three of Feiyun were practicing energetically, and motioned to Wu Yuan to try his skills. Wu Yuan knew that he was not the opponent of the three of Feiyun, but he did not dare to disobey, so he had to slowly walk to the center of the courtyard.
At this moment, the innkeeper brought a person and said to Wu Yuan: "Wu Daxia, this guest officer has something important to discuss with you." ”
Wu Yuan hurriedly stopped and turned around and looked at the person who came. This man is in his twenties, dignified, dressed in a blue power suit, wearing a sword at his waist, and looks extraordinary.
Wu Yuan waved his hand, asked the guy to step back, and asked, "This guest officer, what is the matter with me?" The man bowed to Wu Yuan and said, "May I ask if Your Excellency is the commander of the military guard?" ”
Wu Yuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that he didn't know this person, but he said his identity in one mouth, this person must have a special background. He couldn't help but be vigilant, and instead of answering immediately, he stared at the visitor for a while.
Under Wu Yuan's stern gaze, the person who came did not have a trace of panic and nervousness, but calmly waited for Wu Yuan's answer.
Wu Yuan saw that the person who came looked calm, so he said: "In Xia Wu Yuan, who are you?" The person who came bowed again and said, "The humble post is Wang Hai, the deputy head catcher of the Jingzhou official office, who was ordered by the chief Shi Zhang Khan to listen to the dispatch of the chief of the guard. ”
Although Wu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't dare to believe him easily, so he asked, "What evidence do you have?" Wang Hai immediately took out a token and handed it to Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan took a closer look, and it was the token he handed over to the guard who moved back to Jingzhou. At that time, Wu Yuan was afraid that Zhang Cambodia would not believe the guards, so he gave the guards a token and an edict.
Wu Yuan asked suspiciously, "Why didn't the person I sent come with you?" Wang Hai replied: "The chief of the guard did not know that the brother was in a hurry to get off his horse, and was seriously injured on the road. He was afraid of delaying the big event, regardless of his injuries, and rushed to Jingzhou in time. After he finished telling Lord Changshi about the matter, he fainted. Lord Changshi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked the lowly to bring people to come overnight! ”
Wu Yuan was still not at ease, and asked again, "What else can prove your identity?" Wang Hai handed his waist card to Wu Yuan. Wu Yuan took a closer look and found no problems. Wu Yuan hesitated for a moment and continued to ask, "Is there any proof of this?" ”
Wang Hai was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and said: "Due to the suddenness of the incident and the hurry of leaving at that time, Lord Changshi did not give any special tokens. Wu Yuan said with a solemn face: "With the waist card alone, I can't fully confirm your identity." If you can't come up with other evidence, hurry back to Jingzhou and let Lord Zhang Khan come in person! ”
Wang Hai was shocked, thought for a while, and said: "Lord Qiqi, a few days ago, I was ordered to go to other places on business, and Lord Zhang Khan was afraid that the other party would not cooperate, so he wrote me a special document. Now this document is still on the lowly position, I wonder if it can be used as proof? ”
Wu Yuan hesitated, looked back at Wu Zetian, and asked her to show it. Wu Zetian bowed slightly, and Wu Yuan asked Wang Hai to hand over the document. Wang Hai was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out the documents from his arms and presented them with both hands. Wang Hai took the paperwork and handed it to Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er opened the paperwork, looked at it carefully for a while, and nodded to Wu Yuan. Wu Yuan then continued to ask, "Wang Zhutou, do you know why Lord Zhang sent you here?" ”
Wang Hai shook his head and said, "Lord Zhang just said that the guards are on a secret mission, and they must assist the chief of the guard, and they must obey the orders of the chief of the guard. ”
Wu Yuan stared at Wang Hai again and asked, "How many people did you bring here?" Where are these people now? Wang Hai knew that Wu Yuan believed him, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied: "Tell your lordship, the humble position has brought the most powerful fifty catchers in the yamen. Outside the inn there were two carriages, four horses, and six people, including the lowly ranks. ”
Wu Yuan asked strangely, "Didn't you say that you brought fifty people?" What about the others? Wang Hai bowed his hand and said, "I think that since the captain of the guard is on a secret mission, he naturally does not want to alarm others. The lowly took only five men into the town, and the rest waited in front. This way the movement is smaller and does not attract attention. ”
