Feiyun believed that Ximenshan and others were instigated by people in the court and wanted to force Wu Zetian to pass the throne to the prince. The prince is a member of the Li family, and his succession to the throne means that Li Tang has regained the lost world. If the Wu family is allowed to succeed, it will be difficult for Li Tang to recover.
Liangchen thought for a while and said: "Brother, there is another situation. Someone is deliberately instigating the relationship between Mrs. Li and the prince? When Ximen Tianxiang forced Mrs. Li like this, Mrs. Li would inevitably think that they were the prince's people, and she would inevitably have doubts in her heart. Dissatisfied with the prince!"
Feiyun thought for a moment and then said: "This is also possible. But judging from their attempt to assassinate Mrs. Li last time, they should really hate Mrs. Li very much. But it didn't take long for them to change their minds so quickly. . It can be seen that they are not being used by others, but listening to other people's instructions."
Liangchen nodded slightly and said: "What the elder brother said is true. But with the status of old man Ximen, the person who can make him obey orders must not be an ordinary person, but must be a very high-status person in the court."
Feiyun sighed and said: "We won't think too much about these things, and we can't control them. How to get to Luoyang as soon as possible is the big thing we have to consider."
Liangchen frowned and said worriedly: "Since Old Man Ximen can know Mrs. Li's whereabouts, others should be able to know her whereabouts. There may be attacks on the road. The three of us alone may not be strong enough. It's a pity that Mrs. Wang and Mrs. I don’t know where Wang Hai is at the moment, I wish I could get their help!”
Feiyun thought that last time Wang Hai took the initiative to report the news, which showed that he did not want Wu Zetian to return to Luoyang safely. If he met Wang Hai now, he would indeed help. However, there has been no news about Wang Hai and others recently, and they may have returned to Lingnan.
However, Liangchen felt that Mrs. Wang and Wang Hai would not go back and would definitely follow them. After all, Wu Zetian's pardon edict has not yet been issued, so they must be worried, and now they are probably also looking for Mrs. Li.
While Feiyun and Liangchen were talking, they heard footsteps coming from behind. The two of them looked back and saw Tianxiang walking slowly.
Liangchen asked with a smile: "Miss Ximen, are you unable to sleep in such a shabby place?"
Tianxiang smiled slightly and said: "Miss Liangchen, you'd better call me by my name. I'm not a young lady. I'm a person in the world just like you, but I'm not as famous as you."
Feiyun said quickly: "Miss Tianxiang, you are so humble. Your grandfather is famous all over the world, and your family is naturally famous in Xichuan. It's just that we have never been to Xichuan, so we don't know."
Liangchen also said: "With the girl's stunning appearance, I believe that even if others don't know the name of Old Ximen, I am afraid that he will already be famous far and wide!"
Tianxiang's face turned red and she said a little shyly: "Miss Liangchen, why do you say this the first time you open your mouth? Do you care so much about appearance? Judging people by their appearance is not worthy of your status as a heroine."
Feiyun said quickly: "My second sister always likes to joke, so don't worry, girl. Since you can't sleep either, let's talk!"
Feiyun waved his hand towards Liangchen, signaling her to be silent. Liangchen understood and knew that Feiyun wanted to find out something from Tianxiang.
Tianxiang nodded, found a big rock, and sat down. Feiyun waited for her to sit down and then asked: "Miss Ximen, I don't understand something. I wonder if I can ask for advice?"
Tianxiang looked at Feiyun and said softly: "Young Master Lin, what's going on?"
Feiyun asked: "I remember the first time I met you, you said you had enmity with Mrs. Li. I wonder if there is any blood feud between your family and Mrs. Li?"
Tianxiang thought for a while and said: "My family doesn't have any deep hatred against her, but several of my grandfather's friends were persecuted by her. Besides, my grandfather was very disgusted with her behavior and wanted to get rid of this scourge for the world to prevent her from doing so. Continue to harm people.”
Feiyun nodded slightly and said, "Your grandfather's friends are definitely not ordinary people. They should be high-ranking officials of the previous court, right?"
Tianxiang nodded and said: "Yes. After they are all the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, do you know Wagang Village?"
Feiyun said doubtfully: "The deeds of the heroes of Wagang spread throughout the world, of course we have listened. Is it possible that Senior Ximen is friends with them?"
Tianxiang shook his head and said: "Of course my grandfather doesn't know them, but he is very familiar with their descendants."
Tianxiang told Feiyun that when Ximenshan was young, he traveled around the world and accidentally met the descendants of Luo Cheng, the hero of Wagang. The two hit it off and quickly became close friends.
Later, the Luo family was persecuted and driven out of the capital because they offended Wu Zetian. Her junior uncle Luo Chuan was Luo Cheng's great-grandson. His father was dismissed from his official post because he opposed Wu Zetian, and was driven out of Luoyang. He died in depression.
Luo Chuan's father left a will, asking Luo Chuan to practice martial arts and kill Wu Zetian to avenge himself and the Li family. The Ximen family and the Luo family are family friends, so they naturally want to do their best to help Luo Chuan.
Feiyun didn't expect that Tianxiang's junior uncle was actually a descendant of Luo Cheng, so he was a little surprised. Luo Cheng is a famous hero in Wagang Village, as famous as Qin Shubao.
When Feiyun traveled around the world, he had long heard the legend of Luo Cheng and admired him very much. Feiyun couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he thought of Qin Yang whom he met last time.
Liangchen heard that Luo Chuan was a descendant of Luo Cheng, and immediately said to Tianxiang: "Miss Tianxiang, why didn't you tell him earlier? If I knew that your junior uncle was a descendant of Luo Cheng, I would not have done anything to him. It’s poisonous!”
Tianxiang was naturally very puzzled by Liangchen's words, so he looked at Liangchen doubtfully. Liangchen told Tianxiang that he had always respected the heroes of Wagang.
Liangchen said that if she knew that Luo Chuan was a hero of Wagang, she would naturally not be disrespectful to Luo Chuan. Liangchen asked Tianxiang to see Luo Chuan later and apologize on his behalf.
Tianxiang sighed and said: "Miss Liangchen, it's nothing. If my junior uncle knew the whole story, he wouldn't care about it. But since you respect Wagang so much, why do you want to protect Wu Zetian, a wicked woman? "
Feiyun told Tianxiang that they also had no good impressions of Wu Zetian. But he was ordered by his master to escort Wu Zetian to Luoyang safely.
After Tianxiang heard this, he understood the behavior of Feiyun and the others. We are all in the world, and it would be extremely unfilial to disobey Master. But if this happens, the reputation of Feiyun and the others in the world will inevitably be ruined.
Feiyun smiled bitterly and said: "We also know that doing this will definitely damage our reputation. We have no choice but to try to explain it later."
Liangchen then asked: "Miss Tianxiang, this time you captured Mrs. Li, why didn't you kill her directly, but forced her to pass the throne to the prince?"
Tianxiang hesitated for a while and said: "When we came out this time, we originally wanted to kill this evil woman. But someone asked us not to kill her, but to make her agree to pass the throne."
Tianxiang paused and said that now they don't want Wu Zetian's life, they just want her to agree to pass the throne to the prince. Tianxiang also asked Feiyun and Liangchen to help persuade Wu Zetian.
When Liangchen heard this, he understood why Tianxiang was willing to be a hostage. Tianxiang definitely wanted to stay with Wu Zetian and continue to persuade Wu Zetian,
Feiyun shook his head and said: "Miss Tianxiang, we may not be able to do anything about this matter. Mrs. Li is very stubborn. She will not listen to our persuasion on such a big matter."
Liangchen agreed immediately, saying that he could help Tianxiang. Tianxiang was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Liangchen. Liangchen smiled slightly, waved her hand, and told Tianxiang that she was not sure and could only try her best.
Feiyun looked at Liangchen in surprise, puzzled by Liangchen's sudden change of attitude. Feiyun saw that it was already very late, so he told Liangchen and Tianxiang to stop talking and go back to the temple to sleep. They would have to get up early tomorrow.
Tianxiang agreed, stood up, and entered the temple. After Tianxiang entered, Feiyun asked Liangchen, "Second sister, why did you agree to persuade Mrs. Li?"
Liangchen smiled slightly and said: "Brother, I think this may be a good thing for us. Don't ask more, I have my own sense of discretion."
Seeing Liangchen's confident look, Feiyun said: "In this case, I won't care about you. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us, so you can go inside and rest. I'm guarding the outside, so you can rest assured!"
Liangchen was afraid that Feiyun would be too hard to watch the night alone, so he said, "Brother, let's take turns to watch the night, okay?"
Feiyun nodded and agreed to Liangchen. Liangchen then smiled slightly and entered the temple.
Early the next morning, the four of them woke up. The four women tidied up a little and left the mountain temple. At this time, Feiyun had prepared the carriage and asked them to get on.
Liangchen helped Wu Zetian get into the carriage first, and then Tianxiang followed him into the carriage. After Meimei got on the carriage, she said to Feiyun: "Brother, you didn't sleep well last night. You go inside to rest first. I will drive the carriage today!"
Feiyun knew that Meimei felt sorry for him and couldn't bear to refuse her kindness, so he agreed to her suggestion and entered the carriage. After seeing the beautiful scenery, he whipped up his horsewhip and drove the carriage away from the mountain temple.
There were no carriages or pedestrians on the road in the early morning. The beautiful scenery drove the carriage and galloped forward. The five of them ate something briefly in a small town they passed by, took a short rest, and continued on their way.
After more than an hour, the carriage entered a valley. After turning a corner, a huge boulder suddenly rolled down the hillside and stopped on the road, blocking the way.
Mei Mei was shocked and quickly pulled the reins and stopped the carriage. At this time, several people jumped down from the hillside and stood in front of the boulder.
Mei Ming looked up and saw three people lined up in front of her, all dressed in black and covered with black gauze. As soon as Mei Mei saw the figure and dress of these people, he knew they were the group of Danxia sect.
Mei Mei's face darkened, she stood up, bowed her hands towards them, and said, "Three of you, why are you here again? Didn't my elder brother tell you? I hope you won't embarrass us again, so as not to make things difficult for us!"
As soon as Meijing finished speaking, Feiyun walked out of the carriage and looked forward. He couldn't help but frown when he saw how these people were dressed.
