Xiao Yan made up her mind and then smiled at Liangchen and said: "Since Miss Liangchen said this, we have to be respectful and obey her orders. We were worried that it would be boring on the road, and now we are traveling together with three people, which is really what we want."
Feiyun was of course very happy to see Xiao Yan agree. At this moment, Wu Zetian left the tavern, boarded the carriage, and continued moving forward.
Meimei quickly told Feiyun, but Feiyun was not in a hurry, but sat in the restaurant and rested for a while. Feiyun estimated that Wu Zetian was already three or four miles away, so he took the four girls out of the restaurant, mounted his horse and walked slowly.
Xiao Yan naturally felt strange and asked: "Brother Lin, haven't you already been Mrs. Li's bodyguard? Why don't you go with her? But you are so far away from her convoy? If she is attacked, you will not do anything at all." Know."
Feiyun smiled and said: "Miss Li doesn't know. There are many servants around Mrs. Li. She hired us as bodyguards, just in case. Besides, even if they were attacked, her servants would persist for a while, but they still wouldn't questionable!"
Xiao Yan snorted and said with a smile: "In this case, she is giving you money for free!"
Liangchen said: "That's not necessarily true. Mrs. Li has been attacked several times and almost had an accident."
Xiao Yan pretended to be surprised and asked: "Who dares to be so lawless and block the road and rob?"
Liangchen sighed and said: "These people all have their faces covered, and we have no way of knowing their identities. Maybe they also feel it is embarrassing to do such a thing, so they cover their faces on purpose!"
As Liangchen said this, he stared at Xiao Yan closely, wanting to see what Xiao Yan's expression looked like. Xiao Yan was already prepared. There was no special expression on her face and she didn't say anything.
The five of them were chatting and moving forward slowly. After more than an hour, a large forest appeared in front.
Feiyun thought of the few times he had been attacked, either in the woods or in the valley. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw the woods, and quickly said to Mei Mei walking in front: "Third sister, we have to go through the woods ahead again, so be careful."
Mei Mei said disapprovingly: "Brother, don't worry. Wasn't it also a forest just now? Nothing happened. I think it's the same here."
Liangchen looked at the woods carefully, and then said: "Third sister, don't be careless. The woods we passed just now are very small and cannot hide people. The woods in front of us look very big, so we should be careful."
While talking, the five people arrived at the edge of the woods. Feiyun mobilized his inner strength and listened attentively. Feiyun vaguely heard the sound of fighting and was shocked, knowing that Wu Zetian must have been attacked again.
Feiyun hurriedly said to Liangchen and Meijing: "It seems something happened ahead, let's go take a look!"
Feiyun urged the horse to gallop away, and the good time and beautiful scenery hurriedly followed. Before Xiao Yan could react, Feiyun and the others had already run away. Xiao Yan didn't dare to delay, and she and Caihong followed closely.
Not long after Feiyun and the others entered the woods, they saw a group of people besieging the carriage. Feiyun immediately yelled angrily: "Where did the robber come from? How dare you block the road and cause catastrophe in broad daylight! If you know what's going on, get out of here!"
The more than twenty people who besieged the carriage turned a deaf ear and continued to attack the people guarding the carriage. Feiyun took a look and saw that guarding both sides of the carriage were Wu Meng and Wu Yong, as well as the injured guards.
Several people were already lying around the carriage, including people on both sides. Feiyun jumped up and landed on the roof of the carriage in an instant. Good time and beautiful scenery flew to both sides of the carriage respectively.
Feiyun looked forward and saw Li Gui and Pei Fu attacking Wu Wei from both sides, while Wu Yuanze and Pei Dashan were fighting fiercely. Not far away, Pei Shouyi and Yanran were staring closely at the five people fighting.
It turned out that Li Gui and Yanran left Feiyun yesterday and left the temple. They hid not far from the temple gate, waiting for Wu Zetian to appear.
Soon, Wu Zetian left Yuquan Temple, got on the carriage, and left quickly. Li Gui and Yanran hurriedly followed until they reached Hejia Town and found the inn where Wu Zetian lived.
Li Gui and Yanran hurried back, told Pei Shouyi, and suggested preparing to assassinate Wu Zetian. Pei Shouyi thought for a while and decided that Wu Zetian would definitely go to Xiangyang first.
Li Gui had some doubts and asked: "Master, why do you think this evil woman will go to Xiangyang?"
Pei Shouyi told Li Gui that Xiangyang was the only important town nearby and had been an important place for military strategists since ancient times. Since Wu Zetian came here for a private visit incognito, she would definitely take the opportunity to check it out.
Of course, Pei Shouyi believed that if he made a mistake in judgment, it would be too late to catch up by taking a small road. Wu Zetian will not travel too fast. She will definitely understand the people's sentiments in various places while walking.
Early this morning, Pei Shouyi led everyone and rushed all the way to the woods that he had long been optimistic about. Pei Shouyi asked Pei Dajiang and Pei Dahe to each take ten bodyguards and hide them on both sides of the road.
Pei Shouyi himself, Li Gui, Yanran, Pei Fu, Pei Dashan, and the remaining ten bodyguards intercepted him. After making arrangements, wait for Wu Zetian to appear.
After midnight, Wu Zetian's motorcade slowly entered the woods and soon entered an ambush circle. Pei Shouyi and others immediately jumped down from the tree and blocked the path of Wu Zetian's motorcade.
Wu Wei, who was walking at the front, was startled. When he looked carefully, he saw that it was Pei Shouyi. Wu Wei shouted angrily: "It's you traitors again. I'm just looking for you, but you actually dare to come and die!"
Li Gui sneered a few times and said: "Miss Meimei and I teamed up to kill your people, and you will definitely want to take revenge on me. Yesterday, I blocked Shaoxia Lin's face, so I couldn't fight with you. So I came here specially to give you A chance for you to take revenge!”
Wu Yong immediately pulled out his sword and wanted to rush over. Wu Wei quickly stopped him and asked him and Wu Meng to take two guards each to protect the carriage.
It turned out that Wu Meng arrived in Dangyang yesterday, but could not find Pei Shouyi for a while. Wu Meng led two guards to guard near the north gate of Dangyang early in the morning.
Wu Meng knew that after Wu Zetian visited Yuquan Temple, he must return to Luoyang and leave the city through the north gate. Sure enough, they didn't wait long before Wu Wei appeared with Wu Zetian's motorcade.
Wu Meng and three others rushed forward to apologize to Wu Wei. Wu Wei was very happy to see that Wu Meng was safe and sound. How could he blame the three of them?
After Wu Wei briefly asked about Wu Meng's situation in the past few days, he told Wu Meng that now was the time when manpower was needed. The three of them could rush back in time and increase their power to protect Wu Zetian.
Wu Meng came to the carriage again and said hello to Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian was naturally very happy when she saw that Wu Meng had returned safely. Wu Zetian told Wu Meng that their performance was very good this time and that she would reward the three of them heavily after returning to Beijing.
Wu Meng and the others thought they would be scolded and punished by Wu Wei and Wu Zetian. Unexpectedly, neither of them scolded them, but instead praised the three of them. Wu Meng and the other three were extremely grateful and vowed to protect Wu Zetian's safety even to the death.
Upon hearing Wu Wei's order, Wu Meng and Wu Yong quickly led two people each to the carriage. Several wounded people in the car behind knew that something had happened, so they quickly got out of the carriage, took their swords and came to the side of Wu Zetian's carriage, and together with Wu Meng and Wu Yong protected Wu Zetian.
Wu Wei was afraid that Wu Yuan was no match for Li Gui, so he asked Wu Yuan not to act rashly and try to delay as much time as possible. He believed that Feiyun would arrive soon and the crisis could be turned around.
After Wu Wei finished explaining, he walked up to Li Gui, waved his sword, and took Li Gui directly. Through what happened last time, Wu Wei also revealed Li Gui's special status. Wu Wei also wanted to restrain Li Gui and force Pei Shouyi to retreat.
Li Gui sneered and waved his sword to greet him. After a few exchanges of moves, Li Gui was at a disadvantage. Pei Dashan was worried that Li Gui would be harmed, so he immediately jumped up, brandished his sword, and attacked Wuwei.
Wu Yuan was shocked and quickly flew to stop Pei Dashan. There was just a clang sound, and both of them were shaken and fell backwards before landing safely. It was obvious that their skills were not much different.
Pei Dashan's face darkened, and he slashed at Wu Yuan with his sword again. Wu Yuan did not show any weakness and raised his sword to greet him. The two of them went back and forth and fought together. For a while, they couldn't tell the winner.
Yan Ran saw that Li Gui was in a passive position and could only parry, but had no power to fight back. Yanran was so anxious that she immediately pulled out her sword and rushed over to help Li Gui.
Pei Fu quickly shouted: "Sister, you watch first, I will help the young master!" As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Fu pulled out the steel knife and rushed towards Wuwei.
Wu Wei was trying to increase his strength and capture Li Gui alive as soon as possible. Suddenly feeling a sharp sword wind coming, Wu Wei turned his head and saw that Pei Fu's sword was about to reach his head.
Wu Wei sneered, swung his sword to block Pei Fu's sword, then turned the sword and slashed straight into Pei Fu's waist. Pei Fu had no time to swing his sword and hurriedly dodged to avoid it.
Wu Wei was about to pursue him when Li Gui attacked from behind. Wu Wei had no choice but to turn around and deal with Li Gui. The three of them went back and forth and started fighting.
Although Wu Wei's skill was higher than that of Li Gui and Pei Fu, he could not fully display his skill under the attack of the two. Li Gui and Pei Fu cooperated tacitly, and their martial prowess was unable to defeat them for a while, and they fell into a bitter battle.
At this moment, Pei Dajiang and Pei Dahe led the bodyguards and rushed out from the side of the road. Wu Meng and Wu Yong led their guards to fight separately.
On the left side of the carriage, Pei Dajiang rushed to the front, and he was fighting with Wu Meng in the blink of an eye. A scuffle broke out between the other guards and the bodyguards. After all, the bodyguards had the upper hand and quickly gained the upper hand.
On the right side of the carriage, Pei Dahe quickly got into a fight with Wu Yong, and the guards and escorts also started fighting. Just like the situation on the left, the guards are clearly no match.
At the critical moment, Feiyun, Liangchen and Meimei arrived. Feiyun immediately flew to the front of the carriage and shouted: "Everyone, please stop and listen to what I have to say, okay?"
When Pei Shouyi saw Feiyun appearing, he immediately shouted: "Everyone, listen to Lin Shaoxia and stand down first!"
As soon as Pei Shouyi finished speaking, Pei Dashan and others immediately turned over and retreated. The escorts on both sides of the carriage also retreated at the same time. Soon, people on both sides stopped fighting. Feiyun saw this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Feiyun immediately raised his hand to Pei Shouyi and said, "Senior Pei, thank you for giving me face. But why did you come to intercept Mrs. Li again? Isn't this embarrassing?"
