Although Luo Chuan and Fei Ying were not completely awake, they still listened to Tian Xiang's words. The two of them immediately sat cross-legged, feeling lucky. After a while, the two found that there was nothing wrong with their whole bodies and jumped up quickly.
Tianxiang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two of them were safe and sound. She was afraid that the two of them would become impulsive again, so she quickly said: "Uncle and second brother, just hope you are okay! Grandpa has something to say to you!"
When Luo Chuan and Fei Ying saw Liang Chen standing not far away, they were immediately furious and were about to rush over. When they heard Tian Xiang's words, they had to stand still.
Ximen Shan also walked over at this time, glanced at the two of them, and said, "From now on, don't talk nonsense! If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later!"
Seeing Ximen Shan's livid face, Luo Chuan and Fei Ying knew that Ximen Shan had been embarrassed by their embarrassed appearance just now, so they lowered their heads in shame and did not dare to speak out.
Ximenshan and Tianxiang then walked up to Feiyun and said, "Young Master Lin, since my granddaughter has agreed to your request, I can only respect her own wishes. However, you can't bully her!"
Feiyun quickly replied: "Senior, don't worry, we will definitely take good care of her!"
Tianxiang walked up to Liangchen and said, "Girl, can we set off?"
Liangchen nodded and asked Tianxiang to get on the carriage first. Tianxiang stood on the carriage, turned around, bowed to Ximenshan, and entered the carriage.
When Liangchen was talking to Luo Chuan and Fei Ying just now, Meili tied the three horses to the back of the carriage, then got on the carriage with Wu Zetian and entered the carriage.
When Wu Zetian and Meimei saw Tianxiang coming in, they didn't say anything and just nodded. Wu Zetian heard clearly what the people outside were saying just now, and knew what was going on, so there was no need to ask any more questions.
Liangchen also entered the carriage and said to Wu Zetian: "Old man, this girl wants to go to Luoyang with us, please don't mind."
Wu Zetian said calmly: "Girl, I promised you a long time ago that I will listen to you all the way."
At this time, Feiyun also jumped on the carriage, raised his hands towards Ximen Mountain, and like a riding whip, drove the carriage away from the lake and galloped northward.
In the carriage, Liangchen looked at Tianxiang and said: "Miss Ximen, we are expected to get along for a while. We should get to know each other. My name is Liangchen, this is Mrs. Li, and the other one is my third sister Meimei. I don't know. What do you call a girl?"
Tianxiang glanced at Liangchen and the others and said, "Actually, you don't need to introduce me. I already know the situation of the three heroes of Xiaoxiang. My name is Ximen Tianxiang, and I am your hostage now. You can just call me by my name."
Liangchen smiled slightly and said, "Miss Tianxiang, you are worthy of your name!"
Tianxiang asked strangely: "Miss Liangchen, what do you mean? I don't quite understand!"
Liangchen smiled and said: "The girl is so beautiful, she is indeed one of the most beautiful women in the country!"
Tianxiang's face turned red and she said shyly: "Miss Liangchen, you are joking, but I don't dare to take it seriously!"
Liangchen sighed and said: "I'm not complimenting you, I'm telling the truth. It's a pity that I'm not a man, otherwise I would definitely be fascinated by you." Tianxiang's face turned redder, and he lowered his head and remained silent.
Seeing this, Liangchen smiled sweetly, then turned to Wu Zetian and said, "Mrs. Li, you were shocked today. Fortunately nothing happened, otherwise our sin would have been great!"
Wu Zetian said calmly: "I can't blame you for this. If I have to blame, I can only blame myself. I have offended too many people in the past."
Liangchen asked doubtfully: "Mrs. Li, what is the hatred between you and the Ximen family? Why do they want to arrest you?"
Wu Zetian shook his head and said: "I don't know anyone from the Ximen family at all, and I have never heard of them before. But I already know their purpose."
Liangchen quickly asked what was going on. Wu Zetian told Liangchen the story of her robbery. In the afternoon, Wu Zetian was touched by the beautiful scenery. When she woke up, she found that she was already in that thatched house by the lake.
There were two people standing in front of them, Tianxiang and Feixiang. Wu Zetian immediately asked: "Two girls, who are you and why did you bring me here?"
Tianxiang said: "Don't be nervous, didn't I tell you? We are not arresting you, but inviting you to be our guests. As for who we are, it doesn't matter, and you don't need to know."
Wu Zetian said coldly: "The way you treat guests is quite special. Do you want to kill me, or do you want money?"
Feixiang said angrily: "You evil woman, do you think we are robbers? Let me tell you, we don't want your money or your life. All we need is an edict from you!"
Wu Zetian thought they wanted to save someone and wanted to issue an edict to pardon him, so she said: "Who do you want me to pardon? What crime did he commit?"
Tianxiang shook his head and said: "You guessed wrong. We are not asking you to pardon anyone, but we are asking you to pass the throne to the prince immediately after returning to Luoyang."
Wu Zetian couldn't help but be stunned, thinking, are these people sent by the prince? But the prince has always been timid and afraid of getting into trouble. He probably doesn't have the courage and ability.
When Feixiang saw Wu Zetian bowing her head in silence, she shouted angrily: "It seems you are unwilling to agree? Let me tell you, if you do not agree, then you will not be able to leave this house!"
Wu Zetian looked at Feixiang and said, "Are you the prince's people? Why didn't the prince come to me personally to tell me about this matter, instead of adopting such an unbearable method?"
Tianxiang snorted and said: "We don't know the prince, and we are not sent by the prince. We just don't want to see the Li family's world taken away by you."
Wu Zetian shook his head and said: "I can't promise you this. This matter concerns the people of the world, so we can't be so hasty! Even if you kill me, I can't promise you."
Feixiang was furious, took out the sword from her waist, put it on Wu Zetian's neck, and shouted sternly: "If you don't agree, I will kill you with one strike of my sword!"
Wu Zetian raised her head and said: "Kill me if you want. If you want to force me to issue an edict to abdicate, it is simply a daydream!"
At this moment, Ximen Shan led Feiyun and the others outside the thatched house. Feixiang then put away her sword, and together with Tianxiang, escorted Wu Zetian out of the thatched house.
After listening to this, Liangchen said: "Mrs. Li, since they asked you to pass the throne to your son, there is nothing wrong with it? Why don't you agree? You are old and should rest. Why continue to worry about it? Woolen cloth?"
Wu Zetian shook his head and said: "I don't have a successor yet. If I choose the wrong person, it will bring disaster to the world. In that case, I will have no face to see the late emperor!"
Liangchen listened and said: "I don't understand this. No wonder they didn't kill you directly at that time, but wanted to force you to issue such an edict!"
Just then, the carriage stopped. Feiyun said from the front: "Second sister, we can only make do here for one night today. What do you think?"
Liangchen hurriedly looked outside and saw a broken mountain temple on the roadside. It was completely dark and I couldn't see the road clearly. Liangchen nodded and said: "Brother, it seems that we can only spend the night here today."
Liangchen told Wu Zetian that he would wrong her all night. Wu Zetian nodded, indicating that there was no problem. The good time and beautiful scenery helped Wu Zetian get out of the carriage.
At this time, Feiyun had already lit a torch and led the four people into the mountain temple. This mountain temple is not big, but it is clean. Feiyun lit two more torches and inserted them into the divine table.
Meimei took out the dry food from the package and distributed it to the four people. After everyone finished eating, they sat in the temple to rest. Feiyun wanted good time and beautiful scenery to protect Wu Zetian inside, while he guarded at the door.
Feiyun glanced at Tianxiang and said: "Miss Ximen, I can only spend the night in a place like this today. Please forgive me for not being able to take good care of you!"
Tianxiang smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing. If you can live in it, I can live in it too. Besides, I'm just your hostage. You don't need to consider me at all!"
Feiyun said quickly: "Miss Ximen, we had no choice but to take you as a hostage today. We are really no match for your Ximen family, so we had to use some special means."
Tianxiang waved his hand and said, "You have your own ideas. I can't blame you. You don't need to say more."
Feiyun then walked to the entrance of the mountain temple and sat at the door. Liangchen came over and sat down next to Feiyun, and said to Feiyun: "Brother, will what I did today make you angry?"
Feiyun shook his head and told Liangchen that he was not angry with her. On the contrary, I think she did the right thing. If it weren't for Liangchen's adaptability, all three of them might have been captured alive by Ximen Shan during the fight in the woods.
If Liangchen hadn't managed to restrain Luo Chuan and Fei Ying, Ximen Shan and others wouldn't have been able to let the three of them take Wu Zetian away from the lake.
Feiyun thought for a while and asked Liangchen: "Second sister, do you really want Miss Ximen to follow us to Luoyang? How about you give her the antidote tomorrow and let her go?"
Liangchen said displeasedly: "Brother, are you attracted to her? Are you feeling distressed?"
Feiyun's face turned red and he quickly denied it. But Liangchen smiled slightly and said: "Brother, don't be nervous. This Tianxiang girl is so beautiful. Even if you are tempted, it is normal. Not to mention you as a man, even when I see her, I feel pity for her. "
Feiyun said awkwardly: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. When I was driving ahead, I seemed to hear you talking about some edict. What's going on?"
Liangchen immediately told Feiyun in detail about Wu Zetian being forced by Tianxiang to issue an edict to abdicate. When Feiyun heard this, he said that it seemed that Ximen Mountain had a connection with people in the imperial court, and the background was not small.
Liangchen said that Wu Zetian suspected that Ximenshan was the prince's person. Feiyun shook his head, thinking that he could not be the prince's person. Because if you do this, the first person to be suspected is the prince. This prince should not do such a thing, it is tantamount to asking for trouble. Liangchen listened and felt that Feiyun was right.
