Wu Zetian sent people to investigate for a long time, and then they found out that this man with strong martial arts skills was called Pei Shouyi, and he was Pei Shoude's biological brother. This man is a famous knight-errant in the world. He has great martial arts skills and is known as the best swordsman in the Central Plains. This person is extremely mysterious and his whereabouts are erratic.
A few years later, the people Wu Zetian sent to hunt for him found nothing, and there was no news about Pei Shouyi. Wu Zetian was in the carriage just now and saw a young man who looked exactly like Li Zhen, so she knew that he was Li Gui who was rescued back then.
Seeing Wu Zetian's silence, Feiyun said, "Mrs. Li, I don't want to care about your rights and wrongs. But you have also seen that the people who came this time have martial arts superior to our senior brothers and sisters. So I just want to know more about them. Give them a try so you can try to deal with them. If it’s not convenient for you to say it, then don’t force it!”
Liangchen estimated that this matter might involve royal privacy, so he smiled slightly and said: "Madam, although they have temporarily retreated, with their hatred for you, they probably will not stop there. If there is one more of them today, I am afraid we will not be able to protect you." You’re thoughtful.”
Liangchen wanted to force Wu Zetian to tell the truth, but her words were not alarmist, but the truth. If Pei Shouyi had one or two more masters to help him just now, Feiyun and the others would not be able to guarantee Wu Zetian's safety even if they tried their best.
Wu Zetian had just witnessed the fight with her own eyes and knew that Liangchen was telling the truth. Then he reluctantly briefly told the story of Li Zhen and Pei Shoude's rebellion. She said that Pei Shouyi was Pei Shoude's younger brother, and he was also a famous martial arts master back then, known as the best swordsman in the Central Plains.
Feiyun, Liangchen and Meimei were shocked when they heard this, and their expressions changed drastically at the same time. Although they have never heard of Pei Shouyi's name, they know the reputation of the number one sword in the Central Plains. When Lin Yue was traveling around the world, he heard that there was a man who was extremely powerful. He not only had deep internal strength, but also had exquisite sword skills. No one on either side of the Yellow River could defeat him. Therefore, he was called the best swordsman in the Central Plains.
However, Lin Yue only heard about it and had never seen the First Sword of the Central Plains, nor did he know his name. Lin Yue just warned Feiyun and the others that if they encountered the First Sword of the Central Plains, they must be extremely careful and try not to become his enemy.
Feiyun didn't expect to encounter the first swordsman in the Central Plains, and his martial arts skills were indeed unfathomable. Feiyun felt that Pei Shouyi didn't use all his strength just now, otherwise the three of his senior brothers and sisters would be no match if they joined forces. I still have lingering fears about the good time and beautiful scenery, secretly calling it a fluke.
Wu Zetian saw the expressions of Feiyun and the others changed drastically, and then remained silent and asked, "Young Master Lin, do you know this person?" Feiyun sighed and said, "Mrs. Li, I really didn't expect to meet such a senior master. Look. It may not be easy to bring peace to Luoyang. If someone more powerful appears later, it will be troublesome."
Wu Zetian heard that Feiyun wanted to retreat despite the difficulties, and was secretly worried. If Feiyun left her alone at this time and relied on the few remaining guards, Wu Zetian might not be able to move forward.
Wu Zetian said quickly: "Young Master Lin, there is no need to be discouraged. There are probably very few people who are more powerful than Pei Shouyi. I think the three of you can definitely defeat Pei Shouyi together."
Feiyun smiled bitterly and said: "There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the world, and there are many people who are more powerful than Pei Shouyi. Even if the three of us join forces, we will at most be tied with Pei Shouyi. You don't have to worry, since we have agreed to escort you back to Beijing. , naturally we won’t give up halfway.”
After Wu Zetian heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I believe you are chivalrous people who will do what you say, but you are just worried that something unexpected will happen to you because of me. How can I bear this?"
Liangchen interrupted at this time and said: "Mrs. Li, if you really believe in us, I have a way for us to reach Luoyang smoothly, but I am worried that my wife will not agree!"
Liangchen did not discuss it with Feiyun and Meimei in advance. Feiyun and Meimei knew that Liangchen was smart and must have thought of a way to deal with the current situation, so they were not surprised by Liangchen's words.
Wu Zetian was overjoyed and said: "Miss Liangchen, you are indeed very witty. Please tell me what you can do? As long as your plan is feasible, I will naturally agree!"
Liangchen smiled slightly and said: "I'm afraid all your enemies already know your whereabouts and will definitely intercept and kill you along the way. Now we can only divide our troops into two groups, with Captain Wu escorting Miss Shangguan and Mr. Zhang in front. , our senior brothers and sisters are walking behind with you."
As soon as Liangchen finished speaking, Zhang Changzong expressed his objection. He didn't dare to say that Liangchen had bad intentions, but he just said that he had to be with Wu Zetian. Liangchen ignored him and just looked at Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian was very hesitant. Although she believed that Feiyun and the others had no ill intentions, after all, they had only known each other for two days. Wu Zetian had not confirmed the situation of Feiyun and the others, so now it was really risky for her to follow Feiyun and the others alone. Wu Zetian couldn't say it clearly, but if she disagreed with Liangchen's method, it would undoubtedly mean that she did not fully trust Feiyun and the others.
Feiyun thought Liangchen's idea was good, but looking at Wu Zetian's expression, he knew that Wu Zetian didn't fully believe in him. Of course, with Wu Zetian's identity and personality, it is indeed not easy to trust someone.
Feiyun thought for a while and said: "Liangchen, your method can certainly work for others. But Mrs. Li's status is too special. Even if she agrees, her subordinates will not agree. There is no need to mention this matter again." Liangchen left it. Curse your lips and say no more.
At this time, Wu Yuan had already stood up. After checking the situation of the guards, he came over and reported to Wu Zetian. In this fight, five guards were killed and six were seriously injured. Now there are only four uninjured guards left, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced.
Wu Yuan asked Wu Zetian to return to Luoyang immediately and ordered the Jingzhou government to send troops to protect her. Otherwise, if we encounter assassination gangsters again, we may not be able to resist them with our current manpower.
Wu Zetian couldn't help frowning after hearing this. She knew that Wu Yuan had lost confidence and was a little flustered. Wu Zetian couldn't help but regret that she brought too few guards this time. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement and asked Wu Yuan to send someone to Jingzhou to find Chang Shi Zhang Jianzhi.
Wu Yuan agreed and went to make arrangements. Feiyun stopped Wu Yuan and said to Wu Zetian: "Mrs. Li, I think it is inappropriate to send someone to Jingzhou." Wu Zetian asked in surprise: "Why?"
Feiyun said calmly: "I would like to ask Madam, does anyone in the Jingzhou government know the whereabouts of your incognito patrol?" Wu Zetian was stunned, thought for a while, and replied: "I did not alert the government, the officials in Jingzhou should not know. Maybe Zhang Jianzhi may have heard some rumors, but he probably won't reveal my whereabouts."
Feiyun asked doubtfully: "Why does Madam trust this person so much?" Wu Zetian smiled slightly and said: "This person was recommended by Mr. Di Ge. I believe Mr. Di Ge, so naturally I will not doubt this person. After a few days Based on my observations, I think this person is indeed very capable and manages Jingzhou in an orderly manner!"
