Chapter 65: The situation has changed dramatically
Wu Zetian was suddenly silent, of course she didn't want Liangchen to go down the mountain. finally had someone who could say a few words, but he was about to leave, and Wu Zetian naturally felt lost.
Wu Zetian originally wanted to ask Liangchen to stay and go down the mountain in exchange for the beautiful scenery. But she also knew her words, Feiyun and the three of them would not pay attention to it at all, and they might anger Meijing, which was asking for trouble. Wu Zetian had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
Liangchen saw that Wu Zetian was a little depressed, so he comforted her that he would go up the mountain early tomorrow morning. After Liangchen finished speaking, he stood up and said to Feiyun and Meijing, and he was about to get out of the hole.
Meijing suddenly remembered something, and said that she was going to send Liangchen off, so she pulled Feiyun and the two of them sent Liangchen outside the entrance of the cave together.
Seeing that there was no one around, Liangchen smiled and said, "Third sister, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Don't delay my descent from the mountain! ”
Meijing told Feiyun and Liangchen about Furong's idea of apprenticeship, and said that she felt that Furong had good qualifications and was a martial arts prodigy, so she should be able to accept her.
Although Liangchen said that she also likes Hibiscus, she also agrees with the view of the beautiful scenery. But she also thinks that the situation is complicated now, and she really doesn't have the heart to think about anything else. The matter of accepting apprentices must be approved by the master, but how can he take Furong to meet the master now.
Feiyun rejected Meijing's offer, he felt that this was absolutely impossible. First of all, without Lin Yue's permission, they can't call the shots on their own. He also thinks that even if Fluff wants to, her parents won't be able to agree. They will leave this place soon, and it is unlikely that they will come back in the future, so there is really no need to do much.
Feiyun was not happy to see the beautiful scenery, so he said: "Third sister, we are also for the good of Furong, why let her set foot in the rivers and lakes?" We've been through a lot of dangers, and you want her to be in danger? If you feel that you can't stand her, you can teach her some basic kung fu in private, so that she can strengthen her body. ”
Meijing saw Feiyun's resolute attitude, so she had to agree. Feiyun and Liangchen also made sense, without Lin Yue's permission, the three of them really couldn't make decisions in private.
Liangchen then said goodbye to Feiyun and Meijing, turned around and walked down the mountain. It wasn't until Liangchen's back disappeared from sight that Feiyun and Meijing slowly returned to the cave.
As soon as Liangchen left, Wu Zetian rarely talked to Feiyun and Meijing. Feiyun and the two are not good at words, unlike Liangchen, they have lively personalities and love to talk and laugh. When they saw that Wu Zetian didn't pay much attention to them, they ignored Wu Zetian.
Old Madam Wang and Wang Hai didn't come to disturb the three of them, but just arranged for someone to monitor them from a distance. The two sides do not affect each other, and secretly guard each other. The night passed like this, and in the blink of an eye, it was dawn again.
Soon after dawn, Hua'er came to Feiyun and said, "The old lady asks you to go to the cave with you, she is already waiting outside!" ”
Feiyun naturally knew what Mrs. Wang meant, so she asked Hua'er to tell Mrs. Wang first, and they would go out. Hua'er nodded, and turned to leave.
Feiyun and Meijing stood up and said to Wu Zetian: "Mrs. Li, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Let's get out! ”
Wu Zetian coldly glanced at Feiyun and the beautiful scenery, and did not make a sound, just got up silently. Feiyun was in front, Wu Zetian was in the center, and behind the beautiful palace, the three of them slowly came to the outside of the cave.
As soon as Feiyun arrived outside the cave, he was surprised to find that Old Madam Wang had not prepared any divine cases and spirit cards, but was directing everyone to ambush on the nearby hillside.
Feiyun walked over in surprise and asked, "Senior, what's wrong?" ”
After Mrs. Wang explained to Wang Hai for a while, she said, "Lin Shaoxia, I just received news from the middle of the mountain, and a group of people rushed here. This group of people is menacing and very powerful. I want to get out of here right now. Of course, you have to come with us! ”
Feiyun immediately thought that maybe Wu Yuan came with the officers and soldiers, of course he couldn't continue to act with Mrs. Wang, but this couldn't be said clearly, after all, it was not certain whether the person who came was Wu Yuan or not.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Feiyun must meet Wu Yuan before he can make a final decision. Besides, in this case, Mrs. Wang did not control Wu Zetian and used it as a bargaining chip, but unreservedly told the dangerous situation clearly, so she naturally had her confidence.
Feiyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Since the enemy is here, and the other party is very powerful, if you want to leave at this time, it's too late!" The other party must have controlled the various mountain paths, and if we act blindly, we may fall into the trap they have set! It's better to rely on the terrain and stick to it here! ”
After hearing this, Old Madam Wang couldn't help but be stunned, feeling that what Feiyun said was reasonable, and now it is indeed possible that the other party has controlled all the mountain roads. Old Madam Wang thought for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, let Cao'er and this slut stay in the cave." Hello and Miss Meijing are with me, how about staying at the entrance of the cave? ”
Feiyun was very hesitant, and in this way, Wu Zetian became a hostage of Mrs. Wang again. But if she doesn't agree, Mrs. Wang will definitely turn her face immediately, who will know what secret tricks she has. If she didn't have the slightest certainty, how could she openly make such a request, and she was not afraid of refusing at all.
Feiyun was helpless, in order to ensure Wu Zetian's safety, he couldn't take risks. After all, he believed that Old Madam Wang would not harm Wu Zetian's request unless it was absolutely necessary.
Feiyun nodded at Mrs. Wang, indicating that she agreed to Mrs. Wang's request. Old Madam Wang waved her hand at the grass beside her, and the grass walked in front of Wu Zetian.
Cao'er didn't speak, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Wu Zetian's arm, and forcibly took Wu Zetian into the cave. Wu Zetian didn't come and react, and was completely controlled by Cao'er. The four strong men in the back also hurriedly followed and entered the cave.
Although Meijing was standing beside Wu Zetian, she saw that Feiyun had promised Mrs. Wang, so it was naturally inconvenient to stop Cao'er, so she could only watch Wu Zetian being taken into the cave by Cao'er.
At this moment, a group of people rushed from the mountain road and soon arrived in the open space outside the entrance of the cave. Immediately after that, on the hillsides on both sides of the cave entrance, there was the sound of shouting and fighting. I saw the grass and branches swaying, but it didn't take long for the hillside to calm down.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang's face couldn't help but change greatly, obviously the people she had just ambushed had been poisoned. Otherwise, if these people win, they will definitely send a signal to themselves. But Mrs. Wang looked at the hillside, but there was no movement at all.
Wang Hai also knew that there was an accident on the hillside, but he couldn't care about it at the moment, and the group of people standing in front of him were the first people to deal with.
Wang Hai saw that this group of people were dressed in all gray clothes, all of them were tall and mighty, and their skills were vigorous. This group of people was about a dozen people, and after they arrived at the open space, they just stood in their respective positions, without saying a word, all holding steel knives in their hands, staring closely at Wang Hai and the others.
Wang Hai was about to speak, but saw three people slowly walking out from behind the group of gray-clothed people. Feiyun saw that the person in it was Wu Yuan.
When Wang Hai saw it, he was also shocked, and hurriedly told Mrs. Wang softly. Old Madam Wang's face changed dramatically at first, and then quickly returned to normal. She didn't speak, just nodded slightly, indicating that she already knew.
It turned out that after Wu Yuan and Feiyun broke up that day, he took the guards to protect Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Changzong, and walked forward for dozens of miles, but he didn't find any clues.
Wu Yuan felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked everyone to stop. He called Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Changzong to discuss what to do next.
Zhang Changzong is just a pet of Wu Zetian, and serving Wu Zetian is his specialty. Naturally, he didn't have any thoughts about such a thing. Wu Yuan called him over, that is, to give him a face, after all, he was a celebrity next to Wu Zetian. Although Wu Yuan looked down on him, he didn't dare to offend him easily.
Shangguan Wan'er thought about it carefully, after all, she was a very smart and talented woman, and after a while, she came up with an idea. She told Wu Yuan that she would return to Guojia Town immediately. After arriving in Guojia Town, on the one hand, he sent people to inquire about the surrounding situation, and on the other hand, he waited for the news of Lin Feiyun and the others.
If Lin Feiyun and the three of them returned within one or two days, it means that they would find nothing. But if they don't return within two days, they have found a clue.
Wu Yuan should immediately set off south to find Lin Feiyun and join the three of them. After understanding the situation, we will discuss countermeasures together.
Wu Yuan didn't have any good way, he felt that Shangguan Wan'er's words were very reasonable, so he agreed to Shangguan Wan'er's suggestion.
Wu Yuan lost Wu Zetian this time, and he was hit hard, and his confidence in himself was shaken. Wu Yuan thought that he had encountered masters one after another recently, and he couldn't cope with it at all with his martial arts.
Wu Yuan immediately decided to fly a pigeon to send a message and ask for help from the master in the capital. Wu Yuan's master Wu Wei is also a member of the Wu clan, and in terms of seniority, he is Wu Yuan's cousin, that is, Wu Zetian's cousin.
Wu Wei has been apprenticed to martial arts since childhood, and his martial arts are unfathomable. After Wu Zetian took power, he has been responsible for protecting Wu Zetian. It's just that he has been protecting Wu Zetian in the palace for a long time, and he has basically never walked the rivers and lakes, so few people in the rivers and lakes know about him.
After Wu Yuan and his party returned to Guojia Town, they inquired about the surrounding situation. Two days later, Wu Yuan, Shangguan Wan'er, and Zhang Changzong sat together again to analyze and discuss.
Shangguan Wan'er thought that according to her judgment, since Wang Hai and his gang did not go west, they must have gone to the area of Qingfeng Mountain. At the same time, Lin Feiyun went for two days and did not return to Guojia Town, so naturally he found clues and never returned. Shangguan Wan'er suggested that Wu Yuan should go to Qingfeng Mountain immediately.
Wu Yuan agreed with Shangguan Wan'er's analysis, but he told Shangguan Wan'er that he couldn't go to Qingfeng Mountain for the time being.
Shangguan Wan'er was stunned and asked, "Commander of the Martial Guard, saving people is like fighting a fire, how can you delay so much?" If something happens to the emperor, you can't afford this responsibility! ”
Wu Yuan hurriedly explained: "Miss Shangguan, I'm more anxious than you. But we can't go right away now, I'm going to wait for Master to come, and then we'll go to Qingfeng Mountain together!" ”
When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, she immediately understood what Wu Yuan meant. Shangguan Wan'er was naturally very familiar with Wu Yuan's master, Wu Wei, and knew that he was strong in martial arts.
Since Wu Yuan has to wait for Wu Wei to come, it can be seen that Wu Yuan is afraid that his martial arts are too low and he is not the opponent of the enemy. Wu Yuan thought that even if he arrived at Qingfeng Mountain and knew the exact news of Wu Zetian, with his current martial arts and the remaining guards, he would not be able to save Wu Zetian at all.
