Chapter 82: The Empress's Power

Wu Zetian took a step forward, personally helped Wu Yuan up, and said to the rest of the guards: "Children, get up quickly." You were born and died for me and the court, and I should thank you. ”

All the guards were grateful, and they kowtowed three times before they stood up. Under the command of Wu Yuan, all the guards got busy.

Wu Zetian then asked Wu Wei to take her to see Wu Zhong, and Wu Wei hurriedly brought Wu Zetian to Wu Zhong. At this time, Wu Zhong and Wu Yi were lying side by side on a white cloth on the ground, the two had changed into new clothes, and their faces were wiped clean.

Wu Zetian couldn't help but feel sad when he saw the end of the two young lives, and his eyes were full of tears. She squatted beside Wu Zhong and didn't speak for a long time, but just reached out and stroked Wu Zhong's face for a while.

Wu Zhong and Wu Yi are both grandsons of Wu Zetian's brothers, and according to their generation, they are both Wu Zetian's grandchildren and are extremely loyal to Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian naturally didn't know all the guards who guarded her, but she was very familiar with Wu Wei's five nephews, Wu Zhong, Wu Yi, Wu Yong, Wu Meng and Wu Yuan.

These five people sometimes take turns to protect Wu Zetian's travels, and sometimes they all guard Wu Zetian's side. Wu Zetian trusted them very much, because these people all had to call her aunt. Wu Zetian is often with them, and naturally has a deep relationship.

Now touching Wu Zhong's cold face, unable to hear the young voice, and unable to see the lovely smile, Wu Zetian was extremely sad and sad in his heart, and tears rolled out involuntarily.

Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er knew that Wu Zetian had moved his true feelings. It's no wonder, after all, they are all the juniors of Wu Zetian's family. Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly stepped forward and comforted softly. Under Shangguan Wan'er's best comfort, Wu Zetian slowly controlled his emotions.

Wu Zetian wiped away his tears, and slowly stood up with the support of Shangguan Wan'er. She settled down and asked Wu Wei what he was going to do with the bodies of these warriors.

Wu Wei said that he was going to send someone to send them back to the capital and hand them over to their respective families. Wu Zetian shook her head, she thought that this move was inappropriate.

Wu Zetian told Wu Wei that the trip was very dangerous, and he didn't know how many people were waiting for him on the road. Wu Wei's men have already lost more than half of their men, and they can no longer disperse them.

Wu Zetian asked Wu Wei to find a place to bury these warriors here temporarily. After returning to the capital, send someone to move back to the capital. Wu Wei hurriedly said that he obeyed, turned around and went to arrange. Wu Zetian, accompanied by Zhang Changzong, Shangguan Wan'er, and Furong, slowly walked towards Feiyun and the three.

Feiyun saw Wu Zetian's words and deeds, and couldn't help but say with emotion: "This Mrs. Li does have two hits, no wonder she can have such an achievement." Some of her words and deeds are indeed admirable. ”

Meijing pouted and muttered: "Big brother, she is just pretentious and buying people's hearts, it's not a big deal, let alone admiration!" ”

Liangchen smiled faintly and said, "Third sister, you are only half right. She is indeed buying people's hearts, but she cannot be taken lightly. You didn't see that the guards were able to die for her, and none of them retreated or ran away, which means that she has successfully bought their hearts, and it is not easy! ”

When you think about it, it's true. She had just seen the guards desperately try to prevent the Assassins from approaching the carriage, even at the cost of dying together. This kind of fearless spirit really made her admire, and it also made her see Wu Zetian's lofty status in the hearts of these guards.

At this time, Wu Zetian had already walked in front of Feiyun and the three of them, and said to Feiyun: "Lin Shaoxia and the two girls, thanks to their help again, they have solved our catastrophe, I am really grateful!" ”

The three of Feiyun hurriedly bowed to Wu Zetian and said humbly: "Mrs. Li is polite, it is our duty to escort you to Luoyang safely, just like those guards who died in battle, they have just done their duty." ”

Wu Zetian smiled faintly and said: "Since Lin Shaoxia is so humble and does not take credit, it is inconvenient for me to be reluctant, so I can only keep this gratitude in my heart." However, since you have been protecting me, wouldn't it be better to simply go along? ”

Liangchen was afraid that Feiyun would not be able to refuse directly, so he preemptively said: "Mrs. Li, as for us not going with you, we really have to suffer. Miss Shangguan is also very clear about this, and she will explain it to you later. ”

Wu Zetian immediately looked at Shangguan Wan'er and asked her to say it immediately. Shangguan Wan'er naturally didn't dare to disobey the order, and hurriedly explained the matter in detail.

Shangguan Wan'er knew Wu Zetian's thoughts, of course she wouldn't say that the beautiful scenery was not. On the contrary, Wu Yuan was rude to her just now, and Shangguan Wan'er intentionally or unintentionally exaggerated Wu Yuan's domineering and arrogant behavior.

After hearing this, Wu Zetian was furious and immediately asked Zhang Changzong to call Wu Wei. Wu Wei heard Zhang Changzong's shout, did not dare to delay, hurried to Wu Zetian, and listened to Wu Zetian's instructions.

Wu Zetian glared at Wu Wei angrily and scolded: "Wu Wei, I heard that you hate Lin Shaoxia's brothers and sisters very much, yes or no?" You should know that without them today, I am afraid that your head and I would have been lost. You should be grateful for their saving grace, but you hate them. What is the rationale for this? ”

Wu Wei didn't dare to come out, and he didn't dare to reply. Wu Zetian saw that he was speechless, and continued, he was also very sad and extremely sad about Wu Zhong's death, but he couldn't blame Meijing for this.

Wu Zetian thought that Feiyun had let Li Kui go, purely for her Wu Zetian's safety. If Li Kui hadn't been released, Pei Shouyi would not have withdrawn at all just now.

Wu Zetian also said that she believed that Wu Zhong was not harmed by Meijing, even if Meijing accidentally injured Wu Zhong, it was understandable. At that time, if Wu Zhong killed Li Kui, Pei Shouyi and the others would inevitably fight with Wu Wei and the others.

Wu Zetian also said that if it weren't for the help of Feiyun and the others, Wu Wei and the others would not be the opponents of Pei Shouyi and his gang at all. As a result, Wu Wei and the others were all killed, and they would not be able to escape.

Wu Wei actually knew this very well, but he thought that even if Wu Zhong killed Li Kui, the three of Feiyun would work with them to deal with Pei Shouyi and the others. Of course, he didn't dare to say such things explicitly.

Wu Zetian also said that the more angry he became, he immediately ordered Wu Wei to kneel and bow to the three Feiyun people, thank them for saving their lives, and swear that he would not hold a grudge or intend to take revenge on them because of Wu Zhong's death.

Wu Wei showed embarrassment, asking him to promise not to retaliate against Feiyun and the others, and he could barely do it. But if he bowed down to Feiyun and the others, he would rather die than do it. He did not dare to openly disobey orders, but he also refused to kneel.

Wu Zetian was even more furious when he saw that he refused to carry out his orders. Wu Zetian didn't speak, just glared at Wu Wei to see what he wanted.

Shangguan Wan'er hated Wu Yuan, and she didn't have a good impression of Wu Wei, so she watched coldly, and naturally she wouldn't say anything to help. This is a matter between Wu Zetian and Wu Wei, and it is inconvenient for the three of Feiyun to interfere, so they will not say a word.

When Fleur saw this, she was very anxious. Although she just worshipped Wu Wei as her master yesterday, she didn't get along for a long time, and her relationship was not deep. But Wu Wei was very good to her, took care of her very much, and instructed her in martial arts whenever he had free time.

Seeing Wu Wei's embarrassed appearance, Furong couldn't bear it, so she had to say to Wu Zetian: "Madam, my master is also too sad, and I didn't think too much about it for a while. Fleur please forgive him once, I believe he will not embarrass Brother Feiyun and the two sisters Meijing and Liangchen in the future! As for asking him to bow down, please don't force him, how about it? ”

Wu Zetian looked at Furong, thought for a moment, and said, "Furong, you intercede for your master, I can understand." For your sake, I should have promised you too. However, this matter involves Lin Shaoxia and the three of them, and their opinions must be sought. If they don't hold your master accountable, I naturally have no opinion! ”

Wu Zetian did this, naturally she had her plans. First, he can let the three of Feiyun know that he values them, second, he also wants to see how much status Furong has in the hearts of the three of Feiyun, and third, he also makes Wu Wei understand that he owes the three of Feiyun a favor again, and it will not be rude to the three of Feiyun in the future.

Furong couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard Wu Zetian's tone loosen, and hurriedly said to Feiyun: "Brother Feiyun, two sisters, sister absolutely believes that Brother Wuzhong's death has nothing to do with Sister Meijing. But Brother Wu Zhong is my master's own nephew, and seeing his relatives suffering misfortune, it is inevitable that he will lose control of his emotions for a while. And for the sake of his age, don't let him bow down. Just give the girl a face, okay? ”

Feiyun didn't want to pay attention to this, but when she saw Furong's anxious and uneasy appearance, her heart softened, so she said, "Sister, don't be anxious, we won't embarrass you." In our hearts, you will always be the original little sister! ”

Feiyun immediately said to Wu Zetian: "Mrs. Li, what Sister Furong said is reasonable, I think you will look at Furong's affection, don't let him kneel down, it will embarrass Sister Furong." Besides, Master Wu is also a martial arts senior, and we dare not accept his gift. If we spread the word, we will also be criticized by the rivers and lakes. Please don't embarrass him, Madame, okay? ”

Wu Zetian pretended to think for a while before he said: "Since Furong and Lin Shaoxia have come forward to intercede for him, I can't help but give you face." ”

Then Wu Zetian said to Wu Wei: "Wu Wei, you also heard it, Lin Shaoxia, they are such generous people. Since he doesn't care about you, I will exempt you from the gift of kneeling and making amends. As for if you still embarrass Lin Shaoxia, Meijing Girl, and Liangchen Girl in the future, I will deal with you strictly and will not tolerate mercy! ”

Wu Wei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly bowed to Wu Zetian, saying: "Thank you for the grace of the imperial aunt, my nephew must obey the holy order, and absolutely respect the three heroes of Xiaoxiang in the future, let alone hold a grudge and take revenge on them." ”

Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "You shouldn't tell me this, but you should tell them this!" "Wu Zetian wanted to make the three of Feiyun feel face, so he asked Wu Wei to openly admit his mistake to Feiyun and them.

Wu Wei was helpless, so he had to arch his hand to the three of Feiyun and said, "Three, Wu was emotional just now, and he was offended, please forgive me." The matter of Wu Zhong has been revealed, and we will definitely not embarrass or take revenge on the three in the future! ”
