Only then did Liangchen understand the reason. She didn't expect that Xu Zhitang was actually a descendant of the hero of Wagang Village. The heroes of Wagang have always been praised by people in the world, because several of them are also figures in the world. , is regarded as a senior fellow in the world.
Shan Xiongxin was born in Green Forest and was well-known in the world. Qin Shubao is a catcher. Many of the catchers themselves come from the Jianghu, or their masters have close contacts with people in the Jianghu. If Qin Shubao wants to hunt down criminals, he will definitely have to deal with Jianghu people.
These people eventually became famous and world-famous heroes, bringing glory to the people in the world. They gained a reputation and were naturally respected by people in the world. In particular, the Wagang incident has only happened less than a hundred years ago, and the deeds of many Wagang heroes have been passed down by word of mouth and are widely circulated among the people.
When the three Feiyuns traveled around the world, they often heard stories about the heroes of Wagang who performed chivalrous acts of justice and put an end to violence. Naturally, they also admired them very much.
Liangchen thought for a while and said: "Since Xu Zhitang is a descendant of Wagang, and his grandfather is a hero of the imperial court, it is easy. Madam appreciates him more, why not find some other descendants of Wagang to mediate?"
But Shangguan Wan'er looked troubled and said: "Miss Liangchen, although your suggestion is good, it is no longer possible to implement it. There are no descendants of Wagang in the court, and the whereabouts of these people are also very unclear."
Liangchen asked strangely: "Are there no descendants among these Wagang heroes? Or are there no connections between these Wagang descendants, or are they estranged?"
Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment and said: "Most of Wagang's heroes have descendants, but they don't want to be officials, so the court can't force them. As for whether there is any connection between them, others can't know."
When Liangchen heard this, he looked at the expressions of Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er and immediately understood the reason. Liangchen knew that this must be because these people did not support Wu Zetian and regarded Wu Zetian as a traitor who usurped the throne, so they naturally did not want to be an official.
By this time Wu Zetian had calmed down, and she immediately asked: "Girl, how many people are there in Xu Zhitang's group?"
Liangchen hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to tell Wu Zetian the truth, so as not to harm Xu Zhitang and others, so she said vaguely: "I think there are about fifty or sixty people!"
Wu Zetian was shocked. She thought that Liangchen only saw the situation on one hillside. If the people on the other hillside were added, there would be at least hundreds of people.
Wu Zetian murmured to himself: "Fortunately they did not rush down the hillside, otherwise the guards would have been unable to resist them in the situation at that time, and we would all have suffered!"
Liangchen knew that Wu Zetian had misunderstood him. Liangchen
The people on both sides of the hillside have been counted. Liangchen didn't say anything, thinking it would be good to let Wu Zetian feel some pressure, so he gave up the idea of going to Yuquan Temple.
Wu Zetian then asked: "Girl, you said they have such a huge advantage, why don't they just rush to the bottom of the valley?"
Liangchen was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "I think Xu Zhitang might not be sure and didn't want to take risks, so he didn't rush over!"
Wu Zetian nodded and said: "You are right. Xu Zhitang seems to care about his men and does not want to lose too much. Fortunately, you restrained the Xing'er girl and he had to withdraw. I guess this Xing'er girl is a A very important person, otherwise Xu Zhitang would not retreat so easily!"
Liangchen smiled and said: "That Xing'er is Xu Zhitang's junior sister, so she is naturally a very important person to him. If someone catches me and the beautiful scenery, and blackmails my eldest brother, my eldest brother will have no choice but to submit!"
Wu Zetian glanced at Feiyun and said: "I have no doubt about this. The relationship between you brothers and sisters is so deep. Even if Shaoxia Lin takes his own life, he will not let you be harmed in the slightest!"
Shangguan Wan'er suddenly interrupted and asked: "Miss Liangchen, what if someone really uses your and Miss Meijing's lives to blackmail Shaoxia Lin into harming his wife? What will you do? Shaoxia Lin, what do you think?"
Liangchen was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Shangguan Wan'er actually asked such a difficult question, which was completely unexpected. If Liangchen said that he would not even risk his own life for Wu Zetian, I am afraid that even Liangchen himself would not believe it.
But if Liangchen wanted Feiyun to attack Wu Zetian for the sake of her own life, she would undoubtedly not be able to say it out loud. Liangchen was in a dilemma, so he had to keep silent and looked at Feiyun awkwardly.
Feiyun replied loudly without hesitation: "Miss Shangguan, you don't have to test us with such words. Mrs. Li is as important as my two sisters, and we will not let such a situation happen!"
Feiyun thought that Wu Zetian was an extremely noble god to you, Shangguan Wan'er. To the Three Heroes of Xiaoxiang, Wu Zetian was not an important figure.
How could Feiyun give up his life of good times and beautiful scenery for Wu Zetian? Not to mention that it is not good for Wu Zetian, even if he kills Wu Zetian, Feiyun will not hesitate to do it! Of course, Feiyun couldn't say this.
At this time, Wu Zetian reprimanded Shangguan Wan, saying that she was looking for trouble and raised such an embarrassing question. Wu Zetian told Feiyun and the others that if such a situation really happened, they could leave her alone. You can't risk the lives of two young girls for the sake of a dying old woman.
Of course Feiyun and the others would not believe Wu Zetian's impassioned words. But it is not bad for Wu Zetian to make such a statement. Liangchen quickly claimed that a little person like himself could not let Wu Zetian make such a sacrifice.
Just then Wu Wei came over with Wu Yuan and Wu Yong and said that he wanted to report the damage caused by the attack to Wu Zetian, and everyone stopped arguing. In fact, they both knew each other well, but they just didn't point it out face to face.
Wu Zetian looked at Wu Wei and asked seriously: "Have all the brothers settled down?"
Wu Wei said solemnly: "Madam, twenty warriors were killed this time, four were seriously injured, six were slightly injured, and only five were fine. The warriors who died have been buried properly. After returning to Beijing, we will send someone to invite them go back!"
Wu Zetian said sadly: "We must remember the names of the warriors and never forget them. After returning to Beijing, we must pay more attention to their families so that the warriors can die in peace."
Wu Wei agreed one by one and suggested that Wu Zetian set off immediately to leave this dangerous place. But he said that all the horses were dead and he could only ask Wu Zetian to walk.
Feiyun immediately said that he would let Wu Zetian and others ride the horses of the four of them so as not to waste time. Wu Wei was overjoyed and quickly thanked Feiyun.
Wu Wei led the horses to Wu Zetian, Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Changzong one by one. Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er mounted their horses one after another. But when Zhang Changzong was about to mount his horse, he was stopped by the beautiful scenery.
Zhang Changzong asked in surprise: "Miss Meijing, why don't you let me get on the horse?" In front of Meijing, Zhang Changzong did not dare to be presumptuous for fear of her taking action.
Meimei snorted coldly and said: "You are a grown man, what kind of horse do you want to ride? Didn't Mr. Wu just say that there are four seriously injured people? This horse is for people who are seriously injured and can't move."
As soon as Meijing finished speaking, Furong quickly said: "There is also one of mine. Master will take it with me. I will just walk with my two sisters!"
Although Shangguan Wan'er was a little reluctant, she had to express her feelings and said hurriedly: "Master Wu, I will also dismount and walk, and let the injured ride a horse!"
Wu Wei saw that Shangguan Wan'er was about to dismount, and immediately said: "Miss Shangguan, there is no need to dismount, two horses are enough. It will be dark soon, and if you don't ride, your journey will be delayed!"
Shangguan Wan'er said to Zhang Changzong: "Master Zhang, how about you come and ride my horse?"
Meimei was furious and shouted at Zhang Changzong: "Zhang, I tell you, you are not qualified to ride our horse. If someone like you rides our horse, it will dirty our horse!"
Zhang Changzong was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, but he did not dare to get angry. Wu Zetian had already seen that Mei Mei was deliberately trying to embarrass Zhang Changzong to embarrass him.
Wu Zetian knew that Meimei had a unique personality, and Feiyun and Liangchen would not undermine her in such a matter. After all, the two of them didn't have a good impression of Zhang Changzong. Liangchen had just scolded Zhang Changzong and was even more happy to see Zhang Changzong's jokes.
Wu Zetian immediately told Zhang Changzong not to hurry up and walk, so as not to delay. Seeing that Wu Zetian had spoken, Zhang Changzong had no choice but to agree.
Wu Wei handed the two horses to Wu Yuan and asked him to arrange them. Then he asked Wu Zetian to set off, and Wu Zetian nodded in agreement. Wu Wei asked Wu Meng to lead two guards to explore the way ahead. He, Wu Yong and the remaining three guards walked in front of Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er followed Wu Wei on horseback, while Zhang Changzong and Furong walked beside Wu Zetian's horse. Feiyun, Liangchen and Meimei followed behind to protect Wu Zetian. Wu Yuan walked at the back with ten injured guards.
After a while, the group of people came out of the valley. There is a forest in front, and you can vaguely see that after the forest, there is a field. Since there was a village not far ahead, everyone was naturally overjoyed. That way, there would be no need to sleep in the wilderness.
Wu Wei saw Wu Meng and three others entering the woods from a distance, and the woods were quiet. When Wu Wei arrived at the edge of the woods, he didn't hear any movement, so he thought it must be Wu Meng who didn't notice anything strange, so he went straight over.
When Wu Wei thought of this, he took big steps and walked into the woods. Everyone saw Wu Wei pause for a moment before going in. Knowing that he didn't find anything unusual, they naturally followed with confidence.
Not long after, everyone arrived deep in the woods. At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and everyone was worried that they would not be able to find a place to stay before dark, so they hurriedly stepped up their pace.
At this moment, a whistle was suddenly heard, and five people jumped out of the tree in front, blocking the way. Then seven or eight people rushed out from both sides of the woods and stood behind five people.
Wu Wei was shocked and quickly looked at the opponent carefully. I saw that this group of people were all dressed in black and masked, holding swords in their hands, and they were imposing.
Among the five people standing opposite, the one standing in the middle seemed to be a middle-aged woman based on her hair style and appearance. To her left were two young men, and to her right were two young women.
Wu Wei quickly asked Wu Yong and others to get ready in case of any eventuality. Seeing someone blocking the way, Wu Zetian hurriedly dismounted with Shangguan Wan'er. Zhang Changzong hurriedly stood beside Wu Zetian.
