After Shangguan Wan'er understood Wu Yuan's intentions, she understood him very well. Recently, Wu Yuan has met Feiyun, Xu Zhitang, Pei Shouyi and others, and he is no match for them. Even Feiyun's two junior sisters Liangchen and Meijing's martial arts were significantly higher than Wu Yuan's. Wu Yuan therefore lacked confidence and felt helpless.
Shangguan Wan'er was very worried about Wu Zetian, so she asked: "Chief Wu, Commander Wu, when will you arrive here?" Wu Wei was the commander of the palace guards, and he was deeply trusted and respected by Wu Zetian, so everyone in the palace respected him. Commander Wu.
Wu Yuan made an estimate and said: "Before my uncle set off, he notified me by flying pigeon. According to my estimation, my uncle should be able to arrive before sunset the day after tomorrow."
Shangguan Wan'er thought for a while and said, "In that case, we might as well send someone in disguise to go to Qingfeng Mountain to inquire about the situation. Once we arrive, we can take action faster."
Wu Yuan slapped his thigh and said: "What you said makes sense. You should send someone to find out the news first. I will make arrangements immediately!"
Wu Yuan immediately got up, found two smart and capable guards, and asked them to dress up as tourists going to Qingfeng Mountain to see the scenery. Wu Yuan told the two not to reveal their identities and not to take any action even if they saw Wu Zetian. The two guards claimed that they were, turned and left.
Before sunset on the third day, Wu Wei arrived at the inn in time and met Wu Yuan. It turned out that Wu Wei was shocked when he heard that Wu Zetian was robbed. This time Wu Zetian went on a southern tour incognito and did not let Wu Wei accompany her.
Wu Zetian knew that if Wu Wei did not show up for a long time, people would definitely suspect that Wu Zetian had left the capital. Wu Zetian did not allow Wu Wei to escort her, but stayed in the capital to cover up others' eyes and create the illusion that Wu Zetian was still in the capital.
Wu Wei immediately carefully selected fifty bodyguards with high martial arts skills, and followed him to the south in an emergency to rescue Wu Zetian. They worked hard along the way, traveling day and night, and finally arrived at Guojia Town on time.
After Wu Yuan saw Wu Wei, he quickly knelt down to apologize. Wu Wei did not blame Wu Yuan. He knew that Wu Yuan had always acted very cautiously. There must be a reason for this accident.
Wu Wei personally helped Wu Yuan up, and then asked Wu Yuan to tell him what happened in detail. Wu Yuan recounted what happened after leaving Jingzhou one by one.
Wu Wei frowned after hearing this. Although he has not traveled around the world for a long time, he has a general understanding of the people in the world. When he heard that Pei Shouyi had appeared, his expression changed drastically.
Although Wu Wei didn't know Pei Shouyi, he knew that Pei Shouyi was known as one of the top five masters in the world. But there was no news about Pei Shouyi for decades, so he thought Pei Shouyi was already dead.
Naturally, Wu Wei was very clear about the hatred between Pei Shouyi and Wu Zetian. Ever since Wu Lizhen and his son were defeated and killed, Wu Wei had been very nervous and had been worried that Pei Shouyi would come to the capital to assassinate Wu Zetian.
Wu Wei knew that since Pei Shouyi was known as a master by the world, he must be outstanding in martial arts. Wu Wei also knew that Pei Shouyi's brother Pei Shoude was killed, and Pei Shouyi would definitely come to take revenge.
But Wuwei had been on guard for decades, but Pei Shouyi never showed up. When Wu Wei almost forgot about this person, he didn't expect that he would appear at this time.
Wu Wei asked carefully about the situation when Pei Shouyi appeared, and then said: "Fortunately, when I left Beijing this time, I brought all four of your cousins with me. Otherwise, with the strength of you and me alone, we wouldn't be able to face the three of Pei Shouyi." Certainty of victory.”
Wu Yuan was overjoyed and asked quickly: "The four younger brothers are here too? Why didn't you see them?"
Wu Wei said: "When we entered the town just now, I asked them to inquire separately to see if there are any gangsters in the town recently. It's been so long now, it's time to come back!"
At this moment, a loud voice outside the door said: "Uncle, we are back!" Then four men filed in with vigorous steps.
These four people were all muscular, strong and tall. They are Wu Yuan's cousins, named Wu Zhong, Wu Yi, Wu Yong, and Wu Meng respectively.
The four of them are Wu Wei's nephews and have been practicing martial arts with Wu Wei since they were young. Although they are a few years younger than Wu Yuan, their martial arts skills are not inferior to Wu Yuan's. Especially Wu Zhong and Wu Yong, their martial arts are slightly better than Wu Yuan.
After the four people entered the door, they bowed to Wu Wei together. Wu Wei nodded slightly and waved his hand. The four of them bowed their hands towards Wu Yuan and saluted, and said in unison: "I've met my eldest brother!"
Wu Yuan raised his hands and returned the greeting: "Thank you, four brothers! The eldest brother failed to protect the emperor this time, which brought disgrace on the faces of his uncle, brothers and the Wu family. Now with the help of uncle and brothers, the emperor will be found soon." "
Wu Zhong immediately said: "Brother, we are a family. Your business is the business of all of us in the Wu family. Naturally, we should work together as one. There is no need to say more!"
Wu Wei coughed and asked, "Zhong'er, did you find out anything?"
Wu Zhong immediately told Wu Wei that several groups of people had come to the town in the past few days, all asking about what happened in the woods outside the town a few days ago and the situation in Qingfeng Mountain. Judging from the words, deeds and appearance of these people, they must be from the Jianghu and are not the same group.
The two larger inns in the town have been visited by a group of people in recent days. Judging from the behavior of these people, they must also be from the world. It's just that they didn't do anything special, they seemed to be waiting for someone.
After Wu Wei heard this, he immediately asked Wu Zhong to arrange for someone to monitor them. Wu Zhong said that arrangements have been made, and if there is any change among these people, he will know it soon.
Wu Wei was very satisfied with Wu Zhong's performance and nodded approvingly towards Wu Zhong. Wu Wei then briefly told the four Wu Zhong people about the current situation so that they would have an idea.
Wu Wei then asked Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Changzong to stay in Guojia Town and wait for Wu Zetian's return. In order to ensure safety, Wu Wei asked Wu Yuan to leave four guards behind for protection. The others immediately got ready and followed him to Qingfeng Mountain.
Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Changzong were both unwilling and expressed their intention to follow. Wu Wei's face darkened and he refused. He believed that the trip to Qingfeng Mountain was extremely risky. If it was Pei Shouyi and his group who kidnapped Wu Zetian, there would inevitably be a fierce battle, and they didn't want to be distracted.
Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Changzong looked heavy when they saw Wu Wei's resolute attitude, so they had no choice but to agree. Although they are Wu Zetian's confidants, Wu Wei is also Wu Zetian's favorite, Wu Zetian's relative, and has a higher status than Wu Yuan. z
Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Changzong did not dare to offend Wu Wei easily, especially if Wu Zetian was not present, and Wu Wei would not take them seriously.
After Wu Wei made arrangements, he hurriedly left Guojia Town with his four brothers Wu Yuan and Wuzhong and more than fifty guards. Regardless of the fact that the sun was about to set, they still rushed towards Qingfeng Mountain.
Wu Wei and his team rode hard and ran all the way, finally arriving at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain before dark. The two guards Wu Yuan sent to Qingfeng Mountain in advance had already found an abandoned mountain temple.
The two guards settled Wu Wei and others in the temple, and reported the situation in Qingfeng Mountain to Wu Wei and Wu Yuan in detail. After two days of inquiring and searching on the mountain, the two guards thought that the cave in the back mountain was very suspicious.
The two guards heard that there was a cave in the back mountain and wanted to go and have a look. As a result, they were stopped halfway by four strong men. The four strong men were all tall and burly, carrying swords and were obviously martial arts practitioners.
Wu Wei immediately decided to let everyone rest early to recharge their batteries. He also told everyone to go up the mountain early tomorrow morning, divide into several roads, and surround the cave in the back mountain. He, five brothers Wu Yuan and twenty guards went straight to the cave to find out what happened. Everyone agreed in unison, and after eating something, they went to rest.
As soon as it dawned, Wu Wei and his men walked quickly towards the cave in the back mountain, and the other guards also went up the mountain in separate directions. Halfway up the mountain, four strong men appeared out of nowhere, blocking the way of Wu Wei and others, and told Wu Wei and others to go back the way they came.
Wu Wei did not reply and waved to Wu Zhong and Wu Yi. The two of them flew up and attacked with their swords. The four people didn't expect that the other party wouldn't even say hello, but suddenly took action l
The martial arts of these four people were far inferior to Wu Zhong and Wu Yi, and they were attacked by surprise. The four people only had time to let out a scream before they were quickly hacked to death.
Wu Wei knew that the scream just now must have been a signal to the cave. He immediately ordered everyone to use their Qinggong with all their strength and rush to the cave as quickly as possible to prevent the people in the cave from escaping.
Not long after, Wu Wei and others arrived near the cave. Wu Wei looked at the terrain and estimated that there must be many people ambushed on the hillside. Wu Wei asked Wu Yuan, Wu Yong, and Wu Meng to lead twelve guards to block the entrance of the cave and attract the opponent's attention. He, Wu Zhong, and Wu Yi quietly went up the hillside with eight guards to deal with the people hiding in the grass and trees on the hillside.
Everything went as Wu Wei expected. As soon as Wu Yuan and others approached the cave, they were discovered by the Wang family's servants on the hillside. Naturally, these people stared closely at Wu Yuan and his group, waiting for Mrs. Wang's orders.
These Wang family men did not expect that several people suddenly flew out from behind and attacked a few of them. The men of the Wang family were caught off guard, and the opponent was highly skilled in martial arts. How could these men of the Wang family be their opponents?
In the blink of an eye, under the glare of swords, a dozen men from the Wang family on the hillside were lying on the cold ground. Wu Wei and the others were eager for a quick victory and acted quickly and ruthlessly. Many of the men from the Wang family died without even having time to scream.
After Wu Wei killed all the people hiding on the hillside, he did not jump down immediately, but let everyone hide on the hillside, staring closely at the cave and the open space outside the cave. At this time, Wu Yuan and others were already standing in the open space!
Wu Yuan raised his eyes and looked around, and immediately saw Wang Hai, and then he saw flying clouds and beautiful scenery. He didn't have time to think about why Feiyun was here. His number one enemy was naturally Wang Hai. Wu Yuan had sworn in the past few days that if he caught Wang Hai, he would kill the evil thief with a thousand knives, so that he could relieve the hatred in his heart and wash away the shame Wang Hai had brought to him.
Wu Yuan stared at Wang Hai fiercely, his eyes full of anger, and he wanted to eat Wang Hai alive right away. He was so excited that he didn't speak for a while.
Wu Yong and Wu Meng, who were standing around Wu Yuan, were greatly surprised when they saw Wu Yuan's expression changed drastically but remained silent. Wu Yong reached out and pushed Wu Yuan and asked quietly: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
