Wu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then praised Wang Hai, thinking that Wang Hai handled the matter appropriately and in line with his wishes. Wu Yuan asked Wang Hai to wait outside the inn, and he came out immediately after making arrangements. Wang Hai obeyed the order and left without saying a word.
Wu Yuan and Wu Zetian discussed for a while and decided to let the injured guard go to Xiangyang first to recuperate while waiting for Wu Zetian's arrival. Wu Yuan selected two people with minor injuries from the injured guards to temporarily take charge. Wu Yuan took three uninjured guards and continued to be responsible for protecting Wu Zetian.
After Wu Zetian and Wu Yuan discussed their arrangements, they told Feiyun and the others about their arrangements and asked for their opinions. Feiyun saw that Jingzhou's reinforcements had arrived, so he naturally couldn't interfere too much, so he said he had no objection.
Feiyun also said that since Wu Zetian already had enough people around him, the three of them wanted to follow behind and protect her in secret instead of walking with Wu Zetian and others.
Wu Zetian knew that Feiyun and the others did not want to get too close to her, so they deliberately kept a distance. Besides, Wu Zetian was very dissatisfied with Feiyun and the others for letting the assassins go many times. Now that she had enough manpower around her, she agreed to Feiyun and let them decide on their own. Feiyun was secretly happy and thanked Wu Zetian.
Feiyun turned around and told Liangchen and Meijin that Wu Zetian and his party would set off soon, but the three of them did not go with them, but followed behind to protect them secretly.
Naturally, I am very happy about the good time and beautiful scenery. After all, it is very inconvenient to speak and act with Wu Zetian and others. If they just followed from a distance, the two of them would naturally have no scruples, and at least they could talk freely.
Liangchen was happy for a while and asked: "Brother, does Wu Zetian trust the newcomers like this?" Feiyun thought for a while and said: "Wu Yuan asked Wang Hai seriously just now, and there should be no problem. Naturally, there is no problem between their officials. There is a special way to distinguish it, so we don’t need to worry about it.”
Meimei then said: "This is the best, so as not to make me sick when I see that old woman and that man together." Feiyun smiled and said, "That man is handsome, much prettier than me!" Meimei took a sip, Said: "What's so good about a fake man who looks good on the outside but is ruined on the inside!?"
When Liangchen saw Wu Zetian and his entourage walking out, he told them not to bicker and go back to tidy up before preparing to set off. Feiyun nodded and went back to their rooms to clean up.
When Feiyun and the others arrived outside the inn, Wu Zetian and others had already boarded the carriage and were about to set off. Wu Yuan nodded towards Feiyun, then led three guards, Wang Hai and others, and walked forward slowly, guarding him from left to right.
Liangchen smiled slightly and said: "Brother, should we follow immediately or wait for a while?" Feiyun thought for a while and said: "They have eight people guarding them now. I see that Wang Hai is walking steadily and seems to have good skills. Let's just Don’t follow too closely, just stay away!”
Meimei looked at the food stalls on the street and said, "How about we eat something before we go?" Feiyun smiled slightly and said, "You go buy some, and we eat while walking! On a good day, let's go get a horse!" Meimei smiled. I ran to buy snacks with a smile on my face.
Feiyun and Liangchen came to the stable and asked the man how much it would cost. The clerk said that Wu Yuan had already paid the bill, and Fei Yun and the others did not have to pay anymore. Feiyun thought to himself, this Wu Yuan seems to be a good person.
Not long after, Feiyun and the others got on their horses, and while eating, they slowly followed in the direction of Wu Zetian and others.
After leaving the town, there is a green field outside. A few miles away, there is a hill with a forest at its foot. Wu Zetian's carriage has already approached the woods. It seems that most of the people in Jingzhou are waiting in the woods.
After a while, Feiyun and three others entered the woods. Just entering the woods, Feiyun was surprised to find Wu Yuan and others lying on the ground, all unconscious.
Wang Hai and other people from Jingzhou were not at the scene, and the carriage Wu Zetian was riding in was also missing. Feiyun was shocked and didn't expect such an accident to happen.
Meijing hurriedly said: "Brother, it seems that Mrs. Li has been kidnapped. Let's chase her quickly!" Liangchen said: "This is the other party's plan. It is definitely too late to catch up now. Let's take Wu Yuan and others first. Wake up and ask about the situation."
Feiyun was also a little anxious and said: "I'm afraid those people will be harmful to Mrs. Li!" Liangchen smiled slightly and said: "Senior brother, don't worry, Mrs. Li's life should be safe. At most, she will suffer a little."
Feiyun asked in surprise: "Liangchen, why do you think so?" Meili also said: "I don't like this Mrs. Li, but now that she has been killed, we have suffered a big loss. In the future, in the world, it will be very difficult for us to do so." It’s hard to hold your head up!”
Liangchen calmly told Feiyun and Meili that if the other party wanted to kill Wu Zetian, they would naturally do it here. However, the other party took the trouble to kidnap Wu Zetian away, which shows that they did not really want Wu Zetian's life and must have other motives. Therefore, Wu Zetian's life will not be in danger for the time being, but some suffering is inevitable.
Feiyun felt that Liangchen's words were reasonable, so he hurriedly went to check on Wu Yuan and others. It turns out they were just drugged and not harmed. It seemed that Liangchen's judgment was not bad. The other party was indeed merciful and did not want the lives of these people.
Feiyun and the others poured cold water on them, and Wu Yuan and others slowly regained consciousness. Wu Yuan opened his eyes and saw Feiyun. He immediately jumped up and looked around quickly, but did not see the carriage.
Seeing Wu Yuan's expression changed drastically, Meijing knew that he was with Wu Zetian, so she said: "Master Wu, stop looking for him, your master has been kidnapped long ago!"
Wu Yuan suddenly turned pale and dumbfounded. After a while, he suddenly pulled out his sword and yelled at Feiyun: "I have suspected you for a long time. Tell me where did you conspire with the thieves to rob the emperor?"
Meimei said angrily: "Are you sick? You are incompetent and have lost your master, but you doubt us. If we are complicit with others, why are we saving you? We will just kill you!"
At this time, Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Changzong were also rescued by Liangchen, and happened to hear Meimei's words. Shangguan Wan'er came over and said: "Captain Wu, Miss Jingmei's words are right. Shaoxia Lin and the others have nothing to do with thieves. Don't blame the good people."
Wu Yuan was still very suspicious of Feiyun and said: "Sir Shangguan, since the three of them appeared, assassins have come one after another. No one knows our whereabouts today, but they are not with us. There is obviously something wrong!"
Liangchen smiled slightly and said: "The problem is Wang Hai's group. They must have caught the guards you sent to Jingzhou and learned everything. They set a trap in advance and waited for you to take the bait."
When Liangchen saw that Wang Hai and others were not present, he thought that something had happened to the guard, and then thought that this was Wang Hai's careful arrangement. If Feiyun and the others were around Wu Zetian, they would inevitably fall into the trap. After all, they did not doubt Wang Hai's identity.
Feiyun saw that Wu Yuan was still staring at him fiercely, knowing that even if he asked him anything, he would not answer, so he asked Shangguan Wan'er to tell him what happened.
