Feiyun immediately said: "Senior Pei, I accept it with kindness. However, this junior will handle this matter on his own, so there is no need for senior to worry about it. Senior, please leave here immediately, how about it?"
Feiyun naturally knew that Pei Shouyi wanted to take the opportunity to sow discord, so he immediately refused and urged them to leave. Only when Pei Shouyi and others leave can the crisis be resolved.
Pei Shouyi saw that Feiyun didn't appreciate it and didn't mind. He said, "Since Young Master Lin is confident in dealing with them, I won't mind my own business. Let's take our leave!"
Pei Shouyi immediately bowed his hands to Feiyun, waved his hand, and led the people forward. More than a dozen of Pei Shouyi's men were injured, and five or six were killed. They carried all the dead on their backs, supported the injured, and walked slowly. After a while, it disappeared into the woods ahead.
Feiyun waited for Pei Shouyi and his party to go away, then turned around and said to Shangguan Wan'er: "Miss Shangguan, we deeply mourn the accident that happened to Guard Wu this time. When you are commemorating his heroic spirit someday, please take your place. We offer a stick of incense to express our admiration. Please!”
Shangguan Wan'er was shocked and said quickly: "Young Master Lin, why are you still leaving? You haven't seen the madam yet? Now the group named Pei has not gone far, and the danger still exists. I think you still have to leave after meeting the madam. ,talk later!"
Liangchen answered: "Even if we want to stay, I'm afraid some people won't welcome us and will make trouble for us. It's better for us to be self-aware, lest we be driven away, which would be too embarrassing!"
Shangguan Wan'er knows that Liangchen refers to Wuwei, and he may have a hatred for Feiyun and the others. Wan'er also knew that this was a big deal and she had to make it clear in person. Otherwise the two parties will definitely not live in harmony.
Shangguan Wan'er thought for a moment and then said: "Miss Liangchen, I understand what you mean. I believe that Wu Zhong was not hurt by Miss Meijing, and there must be a hidden secret. Miss Meijing, can you explain the situation at that time?"
Meimei never took the initiative to explain the matter because she thought that even if she did, the other party wouldn't believe it. Besides, she did take action against Wu Zhong at that time, and Wu Zhong's death was indeed related to her.
After listening to Shangguan Wan'er's words, Meimei looked at Feiyun. Feiyun nodded and motioned for her to talk. Of course Feiyun knew what Mei Mei was thinking, and he also knew that Wu Wei and others would not believe Mei Mei's words.
Feiyun felt that they could not control whether Wu Wei and others believed it or not. But the matter still needs to be explained. After all, Shangguan Wan'er, an outsider, is present. As for what they thought, Feiyun didn't care.
Wu Zhong was at fault in this matter. He ignored Mei Mei's warning and took action without permission. Even if the beautiful scenery hurt him, it was his own fault and no one else to blame.
Seeing Feiyun nodding, Meimei recounted the situation in detail. After Shangguan Wan'er heard this, she said to Wu Wei, Wu Yuan and others: "Commander Wu, Captain Wu, you also heard it, and I knew it was definitely not Miss Meijing's fault, so don't bear any grudge against Miss Meijing!"
Wu Yuan naturally did not believe what Mei Mei said and immediately said: "My eldest brother is dead. Who can prove what you said? Besides, my eldest brother has deep inner strength. Does that thief have that ability? I think it was you and him who killed him." Killed my big brother!"
Mei Mei was mentally prepared, expecting that they would not believe her words and ignored Wu Yuan. Instead, she said to Shangguan Wan'er: "Miss Shangguan, I have told you what happened. As for whether you believe it or not, that's up to you." Let’s figure it out. I have nothing to explain!”
Meimei felt that she had explained the whole story clearly anyway, so she made it clear to Shangguan Wan'er, Wu Wei and others that she would not explain any more. Believe it or not, she will not pay attention to these people.
Shangguan Wan'er knew nothing about martial arts, so of course she believed the beauty's words. Besides, even if Shangguan Wan'er really believed that Mei Mei did what she did, she would still excuse Mei Mei. Now that Wu Zhong is dead, it will be useless to hold the beautiful scenery accountable.
In Shangguan Wan'er's eyes, Wu Zhong was just a small bodyguard, and it was only natural that he would devote himself to Wu Zetian. If it could avenge Wu Zhong without affecting Wu Zetian's safety, Shangguan Wan'er would naturally agree.
But now if the crime of killing Wu Zhong is placed on Meili's head, Feiyun and the others will definitely be angered. But Shangguan Wan'er knew that at this moment, she must not offend Feiyun and the others. Wu Zetian's safety still needs the protection of Feiyun and the others. Without them, Wu Zetian would be in danger today.
Not to mention a Wu Zhong, even Wu Wei, in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes, was nothing more than a shield for Wu Zetian, including herself of course. It was impossible for Shangguan Wan'er to offend a person who was of great use to Wu Zetian for the sake of a dead useless person.
After Shangguan Wan'er heard Meijing's words, she quickly said: "Miss Meijing, we have known each other for many days, and I know your character very well. Don't worry, I will naturally believe what you say. Even Madam will believe you. !”
Shangguan Wan'er actually wanted to tell Feiyun and the others that no matter what Wu Wei and others thought, she was on Feiyun's side anyway. After Wu Zetian came back, she told Shangguan Wan'er what she had experienced in the past few days.
Shangguan Wan'er could tell from Wu Zetian's words that although Wu Zetian was a little dissatisfied with the actions of Feiyun and the others, she still trusted, valued, and appreciated the three of them, and she was also somewhat grateful.
How could Shangguan Wan'er, a talented and intelligent woman, offend Feiyun and the others for Wu Zhong? Even if the three of them killed Wu Wei, it is estimated that Wu Zetian would not do anything to the three of Feiyun.
Wu Yuan was very unhappy. Shangguan Wan'er's statement would undoubtedly affect Wu Zetian's opinion. If Wu Zetian had the same idea, then it would be impossible for the Wu family to seek revenge on Mei Mei.
Wu Yuan's face darkened, and he immediately said: "Miss Shangguan, you don't understand martial arts, but you can't just rely on her words to judge who is right and who is wrong. This is very unfair to all of us, and the brothers will not accept it!"
Shangguan Wan'er became furious when she saw that Wu Yuan not only looked down on her, but also directly accused her, implying a threat. How could Shangguan Wan'er take Wu Yuan to heart and want to teach him a lesson?
Shangguan Wan'er immediately said: "Wu Yuan, it seems that you think I am not qualified to intervene in this matter? In that case, I don't care, just do whatever you like!"
After Shangguan Wan'er finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the carriage. Wu Wei was shocked and said quickly: "Miss Shangguan, please don't be angry. Yuan'er is young and ignorant and can't speak. Please don't get along with him!"
Wu Wei knew that although he was deeply trusted by Wu Zetian, Shangguan Wan'er got along with Wu Zetian day and night. If she had offended Shangguan Wan'er, as long as she casually said a few bad words about herself in front of Wu Zetian, she would be unable to bear it and walk away, so she quickly apologized for Wu Yuan.
Shangguan Wan'er ignored Wu Wei at all and walked straight away. Wu Wei was so anxious that he pulled Wu Yuan and stood in front of Shangguan Wan'er. He kept saying good things and asked Wu Yuan to bow to Shangguan Wan'er first to apologize.
Feiyun was of course not interested in these things. He believed that Meimei had given Wuwei an explanation by telling them what had happened. Feiyun then greeted Liangchen and beautiful scenery and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Furong stood up again and shouted loudly: "Brother Feiyun, two sisters, please don't leave, wait a moment, madam has something to say to you!"
Then Fu Rong shouted again: "Sister Shangguan, Madam wants you to wait where you are for a moment, she will come right away! Master, Madam wants you to rescue the injured guards first and settle down the sacrificed warriors. She will handle the other matters!"
Feiyun hesitated after hearing Furong's shouting. Seeing this, Liangchen quickly advised Feiyun to listen to what Wu Zetian had to say first. She also had something to say to Wu Zetian.
Feiyun thought for a while, if the three of him left like this, the relationship between him and Wu Wei would be completely closed. Let Wu Zetian come forward, maybe it can ease things.
Although Feiyun didn't care about Wu Wei and others' attitude towards the three of them, it was always a good thing to have one less enemy. Now that Liangchen had something to say to Wu Zetian again, Feiyun nodded and stopped.
Shangguan Wan'er over there stopped immediately when she heard Furong's order. Wu Wei hurriedly obeyed the order and asked Wu Yuan and Wu Yong to rescue the injured and collect the dead.
After a while, Wu Zetian, with the support of Zhang Changzong and Furong, got off the carriage and walked slowly to Wu Wei. She first glanced at Feiyun and the others and said, "Young Master Lin, please wait a moment. I have finished handling some things and am talking to you!"
Feiyun, Liangchen and Meijing saluted together and said, "Mrs. Li, we are not in a hurry. Just go about your business first and ignore us!"
Wu Zetian then asked Wu Wei: "Commander Wu, how are the brothers?" Wu Wei had been staring at Feiyun just now and did not deal with the matter personally, so he couldn't answer for the moment.
Wu Zetian was extremely displeased, but considering Wu Wei's status as commander, he did not immediately reprimand him. In her opinion, this was Wu Wei's dereliction of duty. A commander should pay attention to the situation of his subordinates immediately after the crisis is resolved.
This not only shows concern for the subordinates, but also grasps the actual situation. Once attacked again, decisions can be made quickly. Wu Zetian shook his head slightly, feeling a little disappointed with Wu Wei.
At this time, Wu Yuan hurried over and reported to Wu Zetian: "Madam, we have suffered a lot this time. Two guards, Wu Yi and Wuzhong, and fifteen guards died, and twenty guards were injured. Twenty-five more were injured. The guards are still capable of fighting."
After all, Wu Yuan had followed Wu Zetian for a long time and knew what she was thinking at the moment, so he first told Wu Zetian in detail about the casualties of the guards.
When Wu Zetian heard that the casualties were so heavy, her face changed drastically, with a look of grief and anger on her face, and she choked with sobs and said: "Yuan'er, treat the injured soldiers immediately, and restrain the sacrificed warriors. I have to go through great efforts to confirm the names of the warriors one by one. Compassionate their families and praise their deeds, so that everyone in the world knows and respects them!"
Wu Yuan and several guards around him were moved to tears. They knelt down together, kowtowed three times, and shouted in unison: "The emperor's kindness is so great that lowly people cannot repay it. They can only die to repay it. Lowly people also represent warriors." Let’s thank the Emperor for his great kindness!”
