Chapter 500: Meet the Princess
Feiyun told Madame Wu and Magpie that when Duan Qing returned to the capital, the guards could come back with Duan Qing. Madame Wu agreed, and quickly selected ten biao-shaped guards and let them follow the magpie out of the capital.
Not long after the magpie and the others left, the guards at the door came to report that there was a maidservant named Buyan who asked to see Feiyun. Feiyun was stunned, isn't this Chai Li's personal maid, what is the matter with her coming to see herself? Is it for the sake of Wang Feng and his wife? Feiyun was puzzled, but let Liangchen bring her.
After a while, he came to the hall without saying a word. After saluting everyone, he said to Feiyun: "Lin Shaoxia, my lord and the county lord want to invite you over to discuss something." β
Feiyun secretly felt surprised that he was kind enough to report the news yesterday, but he was sneered at by Helan Xue. Why did their brother and sister take the initiative to invite each other today, I don't know what medicine they sell in their gourds. Feiyun thought about it and decided to go and see it first. Feiyun immediately got up and was about to leave with no words. Tianxiang, Liangchen and Meijing learned of the situation and also followed. Feiyun knew that he couldn't persuade them, so he didn't say anything.
Soon, Feiyun and the others arrived at Helan's house and met the Helan Mountain brothers and sisters in the hall. Feiyun bowed his hand, and Helan Mountain returned the salute and invited them to take a seat. After Feiyun and Tianxiang sat down, Liangchen and Meijing stood behind him.
Feiyun immediately asked, "I don't know if the Marquis of Helan is summoned to come down, what advice do you have?" β
Helan Shan said a little anxiously: "We got the news early this morning, and I heard that the imperial court has issued a notice asking Wang Hao and Wang Ruoxue to surrender to the government within three days. If it is less than three days, the imperial court will publicly behead Wang Feng and his wife, and seize the Golden Sword Sect. I wonder if Lin Shaoxia knows about this? β
Feiyun thought that this must be the design of Princess Changping, and wanted to wipe out the Wang family. Maybe Princess Changping felt that she had a friendship with the Wang family, so she didn't send someone to tell her. Because of Ruoxue's misdeeds, Feiyun became more and more disgusted with the Wang family.
Feiyun thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard about this. If that's the case, it's a reasonable thing. After all, their sons and daughters did participate in the attack on the Wuhou Mansion, which was obviously a rebellious act. β
Helan Xue glanced at Feiyun and said, "Brother Lin, yesterday my little sister was impulsive, talking nonsense, and offended. Please also look at the past friendships, make suggestions to the emperor for them, and spare their lives. β
Feiyun said coldly: "County Lord, I'm really sorry, I can't do anything below. You may not know that yesterday outside the city, Wang Hao and Wang Ruoxue attacked my sworn brother Duan Qing and his fiancΓ©e. I also want to settle accounts with their brothers and sisters, how do you ask me to speak for them? β
Helan Mountain and Helan Xue were taken aback, it was really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave. Helan Xue hurriedly said, "Brother Lin, are you mistaken?" How could their brother and sister run out of the city and attack others? β
Feiyun still said coldly, "This can't be wrong. I also want to tell you that in yesterday's battle, Wang Hao was killed. Wang Ruoxue was rescued and her whereabouts are unknown! β
Helan Shan was shocked and asked urgently, "What did you say, the young master of the Wang family has been killed?" β
Feiyun replied expressionlessly, "Yes, they attacked my righteous brother together with the people of the Dragon Gate. β
Helan Xue hurriedly asked, "Did you tell the emperor about this matter, so the imperial court made such a decision?" β
Feiyun shook his head and said, "I also just learned about this, and I haven't had time to tell the empress yet. It seems that this Wang family does collude with Longmen, even if she goes down to ask the emperor, it is estimated that she will definitely not agree. Please forgive me for not being able to do anything about it, so please be smart! β
Helan Xue pondered for a moment and said, "Lin Shaoxia, if you are willing to intercede, I believe that the emperor will give you a face and let Wang Feng and his wife go." If you have any requirements, as long as we can do it, we will never shirk. β
Helan Xue also continued: "Yes, as long as you can keep Wang Feng and his wife out safely, I am willing to be your maidservant, what do you think?" β
Feiyun smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when Liangchen behind him interjected and said, "County Lord, with such a high status as you, my eldest brother can't afford it." Besides, it's enough for him to have us waiting by his side, so don't come to join in the fun! β
Liangchen naturally heard that Helan Xue had something to say, and she wanted to make a promise with herself. Liangchen was worried that Feiyun would be fascinated by Helan Xue's beauty, so he preemptively refused. She felt that Feiyun already had a lot of beauties around her, and she couldn't have more.
Helan Xuexiu frowned, her face turned pale, and said, "Shut up!" You are but a servant who waits for him, and you have no place to speak here! β
Although Helan Xue knew Liangchen, she didn't know that Liangchen and Meijing were Feiyun's sisters. When she saw Liangchen and Meijing standing behind Feiyun, she thought they were Feiyun's handmaidens. Helan Xue naturally wouldn't be polite, so she reprimanded her face-to-face.
Feiyun was very dissatisfied when he saw that Helan Xue actually reprimanded Liangchen. Liangchen and Meijing are the girls who Feiyun grew up with since childhood, even if Tianxiang has to give them face, they dare not offend. Others can offend Feiyun, but Feiyun does not allow others to insult the good days and beautiful scenery.
Feiyun's face sank, and he immediately said, "County Lord, the two of them are not my maids, but my sisters. What my second sister just said is very reasonable, we still have something to do, so we will leave. As soon as the words fell, Feiyun got up and bowed his hand to the Helan brothers and sisters, ready to leave.
Last time he encircled and suppressed Fengtang, Helan Xue also participated. Although she saw that Feiyun valued good days and beautiful scenery very much, she didn't expect the two to be his sisters. Feiyun would actually turn his face with himself for this little thing, and Helan Xue didn't know what to do for a while.
Seeing this, Helan Mountain wanted to ease the atmosphere, and hurriedly said: "My sister is young, please bear with Lin Shaoxia." β
Feiyun stopped answering, turned around and left. Tianxiang, Liangchen and Meijing all glanced at Helan Xue coldly, and followed Feiyun out of Helan Hou's Mansion. The Helan brothers and sisters had no choice but to watch them leave.
As soon as the four of Feiyun walked out of the gate, Liangchen asked, "Big brother, you just deliberately found fault, right?" β
Feiyun smiled slightly and said, "You are still clever, and you guessed my mind at once." But I'm really angry that Helan Xue actually despises you so much. Of course, there is another reason, that is, it is impossible for me to intercede with the emperor on their behalf, and there is no point in staying here. β
Liangchen had no good impression of the Wang family and the Helan family, and immediately responded: "Big brother, there is really no need for us to offend the emperor for them. This matter is obviously intentional by Princess Changping, so we don't have to get involved. β
Liangchen's guess was not wrong, this was what Princess Changping suggested to Wu Zetian. In view of the fact that the Golden Knife Sect is too powerful, Princess Changping plans to use this opportunity to completely destroy the Golden Knife Sect in order to eliminate hidden dangers.
Wu Zetian had naturally heard of the Golden Knife Sect and knew their power, and also knew that Wang Feng and his wife had a great relationship with the Helan family, so he agreed to Princess Changping's request, ordered the Golden Knife Sect to be sealed, and issued an announcement to prepare to execute Wang Feng and his wife.
In this way, people who have a particularly good relationship with the Golden Knife Sect will naturally come out to the rescue, and they will be able to catch them all at that time. Princess Changping knew that Feiyun had some relationship with the Golden Sword Sect, and she was worried that he would oppose it, so she didn't tell him.
Liangchen suggested that Feiyun go to Princess Changping and tell her about Wang Hao and Wang Ruoxue's attack on Duan Qing, and express his attitude. Feiyun agreed, so the four of them came to the palace. entered the palace and came to the princess palace to ask to see Princess Changping. After meeting the princess, Feiyun told her the truth about Wang Hao and Wang Ruoxue's attack on Duan Qing and Hongjun, as well as the news that Wang Hao was dead.
After hearing this, Princess Changping was very surprised, and immediately said: "I didn't expect these two people to kill themselves, but it saved me trouble." Now that Wang Hao is dead, the Golden Dao Sect has no chance to make waves after that. β
Feiyun asked Princess Changping what to do with Wang Feng and his wife, and after the princess heard that Wang Hao and Ruoxue had attacked Duan Qing and Hong Yingjun again, she knew that Feiyun would no longer protect the Wang family. She told Feiyun about the planned execution of Wang Feng and his wife, and asked him Feiyun to go with her to listen at that time.
Feiyun shook his head and politely rejected Princess Changping. However, he reminded the princess that Wang Hao was a lay disciple of Shaolin, and Ruoxue was from Hengshan Gate, so she had to be careful at that time. These two factions are both well-known martial arts factions, and there may be action.
Princess Changping thanked Feiyun for the reminder, but she thought that these two factions were quite cautious in their usual behavior, and forgave them for not openly robbing the Dharma field. Feiyun also hoped that the princess would spare the ordinary disciples of the Golden Sword Sect, and they would not die for their crimes.
Princess Changping told Feiyun that except for Wang Feng and his wife and their eldest apprentice Feng Ying, she would not embarrass the other Golden Sword Sect disciples. The princess then asked Feiyun to go to the various factions of the martial arts in the capital to find out their attitudes, especially the reaction of the beggar gang.
Feiyun couldn't help but be shocked, thinking that Princess Changping was going to deal with the beggar gang next, and hurriedly said: "Princess, the beggar gang has always had a chivalrous reputation, and they will not have any ill intentions towards the court. β
Seeing that Liu Shui was in a hurry, Princess Changping immediately smiled and said, "I naturally know this, and I also know that you have a very good relationship with them." That's why I hope you will pass the word, and I hope they won't interfere in this matter. I am afraid that they will be used to become enemies of the imperial court and cause them unnecessary trouble. β
Feiyun thought to himself, he really hadn't been to the beggar gang for a long time, and he should also visit. I may have to leave the capital soon, and I have been helped by them many times before, so I should really inform them. Thinking of this, Feiyun immediately agreed to the princess, and then said goodbye.
On the way, Liangchen asked Liu Shui why he agreed to Princess Changping so happily. Feiyun tells her that she hasn't seen a Land Rover in a long time and wants to visit him. Of course, Feiyun didn't want the beggar gang to participate in the affairs of the Golden Sword Sect, and he might have to go to Jiangnan, and he might have to ask the Jiangnan branch of the beggar gang to help inquire about the news.
After a while, the four of Feiyun came to the beggar gang to divide the rudder. When Land Rover heard that Feiyun was coming, he hurriedly came out to greet him personally. When he arrived at the lobby and sat down, Land Rover said, "Brother Lin, how can you have time to visit the old man today?" β
Feiyun smiled slightly and replied, "Elder Lu, the juniors have had a lot of chores recently, so I didn't come to visit the seniors, so I invited Haihan." β
