Li Xian said: "Princess Wu, this matter is all caused by you. If it weren't for the fact that you had taken a fancy to the Qingxiang girl, you would have to ask for a marriage when you knew that someone else had a marriage contract. was so domineering, Lin Feng and Qingxiang naturally resisted. You took the lead in trying to kill his junior sister, and Ma Xiang cut off the imperial crutches in order to save people. It's understandable. You didn't tell the story clearly, and you only seized on the pretext of cutting off the imperial crutches, and you wanted to kill them all, which led to this result. Do you regret it? ”

Li Xian was out at the time, and when he heard about it after getting the news, the matter was over. After Li Xian saw Yanmei, he knew all the details.

Princess Wu said: "No matter who he is or what he does, cutting off the imperial cane is a capital crime. Please Emperor Mingjian. Wu Zetian asked, "In your opinion, how to deal with it?" Princess Wu said: "Wanted criminals, the whole city is searched." Li Xian said: "Absolutely not, doing so will only backfire." Wu Zetian thought for a moment and said, "It's enough to search and arrest the whole city." ”

Wu Zetian listened to Li Xian's words and understood the cause and effect. Because of Princess Wu's selfishness, she caused such a large number of casualties, and also created an enemy with strong martial arts out of thin air. Wu Zetian was naturally dissatisfied, but after all, Princess Wu was her own family, and it was inconvenient to blame, so she had to discount Princess Wu's request.

Princess Wu saw that Wu Zetian had already decided, so she had no choice but to carry her son's body home. She wanted to please a good daughter-in-law, but she killed one of her sons, and she gritted her teeth when she thought of Ma Xiang and Qingxiang.

Besides, the four of Feiyun rescued Ma Xiang and them and returned to the hospital. Feiyun hurriedly asked Ma Xiang what was going on, and Ma Xiang didn't hide it, and told the Niu family in detail. Bai Xue hurriedly kowtowed to Feiyun and asked him to rescue his mother.

The murder of Green Leaf made Ma Xiang fall into deep grief, and he couldn't recover for a while. When Bai Xue saw him like this, she was also sad in her heart.

Qingxiang said to Ma Xiang: "Big brother, hold back your sadness first, we still have a lot of things to do." Ma Xiang said: "What the sister said is that we have to avenge them first." Qingxiang asked, "Do you know who killed them?" Ma Chuxiang said: "The person who attacked directly has been killed by me, but there is a person who secretly releases arrows who is the main culprit." Bai Xue hurriedly asked, "Brother Ma, have you seen the person who released the arrow?" ”

Liangchen continued, "We didn't see the person who released the arrow, but I brought out the arrow that shot at the green leaf girl. With that, she took out the arrow and saw that there was a stone inscription engraved on it. The crowd did not understand what it meant. Wang De came over and said, "This should be Chang Xian's arrow." ”

Wang De saw that everyone was puzzled, so he said: "Chang Xian is the deputy commander of the guard under the command of Princess Changping, and I heard that the people of their family have their surnames engraved on each of their arrows. This Chang should refer to him, and he is the only one in the capital whose surname is Chang. ”

Wang De told everyone that after hearing that Wu Ji had captured Changqing, Wu Sansi and Princess Changping went to find Wu Ji and asked him to release Changqing. Wu Ji saw that the princess came forward, so he had to let Chang Qing go. Later, Changqing let his son take refuge in Princess Changping and became the deputy commander of the palace.

Ma Xiang came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said to Charming and Wang De: "It's not you who make a move this time, and we don't know if we can break out of the encirclement." Where did you get here? Wang De said: "My young lady went to the city to offer incense and saw you fighting. We saw that the samurai were bullying people, so we stepped forward to help you. However, with the strength of Ma Gongzi and the girls, plus Brother Lin and others, if we don't make a move, you can also rush out. We didn't do much, so you're welcome. ”

Feiyun said: "Presumably, the charming girl will not help us for no reason, if there is anything we need to do, just say it." As long as it's not hurtful, I'll do it. Wang De hesitated, but said charmingly: "Since Lin Shaoxia is so frank, we don't have to hide our identities, this is the case." She told Feiyun and them everything about it.

After listening to this, Feiyun knew that the charming enemy was the Wu family. He sighed and said, "It turns out that the girl is a descendant of the Li Tang royal family, and we are disrespectful." Charming said: "What kind of identity do people talk about, it is not easy to survive." Feiyun said, "You originally wanted me to help you, but now you saved us first." Needless to say, we will do our best to take revenge. Tianxiang, what do you say? Tianxiang said: "I have no opinion. ”

Feiyun also told Bai Xue that he would find out where his mother lived as soon as possible. But since Niu Ba has committed the crime of rebellion, he can't interfere. Bai Xue hurriedly thanked Feiyun and said that as long as she rescued her mother, she could do it.

Bai Xue said to Feiyun, "Then I'm going to bother you here for a few more days." Feiyun hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, now it's a family, don't talk about two families anymore." You can live all the time, and no one will bother you. ”

Liangchen said: "Then let's do it first, if we have any news, we will tell the girl as soon as possible." Bai Xue nodded, and followed Ma Xiang and the others away.

Ma Xiang, Bai Xue, Charming and Wang De buried the green leaves and Ruwu on a small hill behind them, and made a good record for future burial. And after a day of fighting, they were all exhausted, so they rested one after another. Feiyun, Tianxiang, and Meijing took turns to monitor the movement outside, and in the evening, Wang De and they came over to bring food items. Wang De told Feiyun that martial law had been imposed outside and the city gate was closed. Bai Xue is already wanted by the portrait, but not Ma Xiang and Qingxiang.

After hearing this, Wen Xiang said to Liangchen: "Liangchen, what do you think should be done now?" Liangchen said: "Since my aunt and they are not wanted, it will be easy to do, and when it gets dark, we will return to Zhou's house in batches, after all, it is a familiar place." Besides, you can save it for emergencies in the future. Ma Chu said to Meng De: "If you have any arrangements here, just inform us." Mende said, "That's nature." ”

Liangchen said: "I also ask Gongzi Meng to inquire about the situation of Shi Shouxin's family." Let's rescue Lingtang first, and then settle accounts with them one by one. Ma Chu said: "After rescuing Mrs., first get rid of Shi Shouxin to avenge the beautiful scenery, then get rid of Murong, and then enter the palace to kill Zhao Kuangyin." Wen Xiang said: "Let's rest first and then discuss the steps." There is no need to rush it in a moment. Liangchen said: "Sister Wenxiang is right, the specific details will be discussed in two days." "At nightfall, Ma Chu and the officers and soldiers who evaded the inspection returned to Zhou's house in batches. Chun Tao settled everyone down separately and said nothing that night.

Early the next morning, Hongying gathered everyone together. Hongying said: "Yesterday's battle also let us know our own strength, and we also saw that there are many masters on the other side. I think this time is mainly practice, at least to be able to reach or exceed the skills of a few girls around them. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to do what you have to do. Liangchen said: "My aunt is right, it's just that I have to work hard." Hongying said: "Chu'er has taken turns to practice with everyone these days, at least two people a day. A few spring peaches also came to practice together. Ma Chu looked at Chun Tao and the others, and said, "Auntie, have you made it clear to them, they are willing to do so." Hongying said: "This is natural, Chun Tao, what do you say?" Chun Tao's face suddenly turned red, and she said softly, "Yes." Ma Chu had nothing to say.

So during this period of time, everyone recuperated and practiced internal strength cultivation together.

After more than ten days, everyone has basically recovered as before. During this time, everyone didn't go out, and Ma Chu took turns practicing miracle skills with the girls day and night. Ma Chu's skill at this moment has passed the ninth layer, and the power of a sword can reach ten zhang away, and the power of one palm can also reach five zhang away. Hongying's pine peach internal strength is also nearly ten layers, and the slightly weaker Wenxiang is also nearly nine layers. And Liangchen's infinite internal strength has also reached six layers, which is similar to that of winter snow. The four of Chuntao did not improve much because of the short practice time.

During this time, Ma Chu and the four of them have not gone out, it is Hongying who is outside to inquire about the news, plus Meng De's notice, they have already known about the last battle of Li Mansion, and the officers and soldiers have also suffered heavy losses. Therefore, the close search came for a few days, and when there was no result, it was also relaxed. Meng De's side was not sure that when they were saving people, Hongying wanted to start doing some action, so she brought Ma Chu and others to discuss together.

Liangchen said: "It's better to get rid of Shi Shouxin first to avenge Meijing and Qiushuang, and then go to Murong Yanzhao." Hongying said: "That's what I mean, I've been to the Shi family, and their guards are not tight. The grasp of success is a little greater. Murong Yanzhao was in the barracks during this time, so it was difficult to start. Wen Xiang said: "If you don't notify Meng De and them first, the two sides will act at the same time, and you can disperse the power of the government." Liangchen said: "It's not good to disperse, it's better to act together, our strength is not enough to divide into two ways." ”

While they were planning, Meng De and Qunfang walked in. Liangchen said: "Say Cao Cao Cao arrived." Meng De said: "It just so happens that everyone is here, and we want to act tonight." I wonder what you guys think? Liangchen asked, "Why do you have to act tonight?" Meng De said: "Zhao Kuangyin is feasting his ministers in the palace tonight, and some masters and attention will definitely be guarding the palace, and it is the time for us to act." ”

Liangchen asked, "Can you tell us about your specific plans?" Meng De said: "We plan it like this: I and my sister, Ma Gongzi and Miss Wenxiang will enter the courtyard, and you, Aunt Zhou, and Hua Yunduo will take everyone outside to answer them." Hua Yunduo's kung fu is okay, plus they are familiar with dozens of people on our side. The defense there was a chief of guard and two palace masters with two hundred men guarding the courtyard, and four maidservants guarding my mother. Miss Liangchen saw that there was nothing wrong, but said it. "The Meng De brothers and sisters already knew that Liangchen was witty and intelligent, so they were extremely polite to Liangchen.

Liangchen thought for a while and said, "I think it's okay in general, but I just want to modify it slightly: the four of you go in, maybe the strength is too weak." After all, we want to rescue a person from inside, Dongxue and I will go in with you, and when the time comes, the four of you will go down to save people, and we will answer on the roof. And outside the courtyard, Miss Qunfang's maids, Yun Duohua, and the two of them will take your people to pick them up. My aunt took the four of Chun Tao to wait for us at the key point of our retreat. What do you see? ”
