Feiyun hurriedly came to Furong and asked, "Sister Lian'er, how is Furong's injury?"
Furong looked at Feiyun and said quickly: "Brother Yun, Miss Furong is not in danger, she just needs to cultivate for a period of time."
It turns out that when Xiao Yan faced Furong, she felt guilty, so she didn't do anything cruel. She just wounded Furong, which was not fatal. Feiyun was relieved when he learned that Furong was fine. If something happened to Furong, Feiyun wouldn't be able to explain to Furong's parents.
At this time, Wu Zetian stepped out of the carriage with the support of Shangguan Wan'er. She was very sad to see many guards and bodyguards dead. It was natural for the guards to die for her, and it was a well-deserved death. But the bodyguards did not get any favors from her, but they lost their lives trying to protect her.
Wu Zetian saw that Lu Ying and the others were burying the bodyguards who died in the battle, and quickly walked over and said to the three Lu Yings: "Three of you, the bodyguards of your bodyguard bureau sacrificed their lives for me, and I will never forget them in this life. I would like to invite Shaoxia Lu. , write down the names and birthplaces of these brave men who sacrificed their lives to me. After I arrive in the capital, I will definitely send someone to their homes to provide generous pensions."
Seeing that Wu Zetian was really sad, Lu Ying and the others were very moved and thanked Wu Zetian. The Escort Bureau also lost two of its escorts in this battle. Three of the escorts were injured and now there are only ten escorts left. But the three said that since they agreed to Wu Zetian, they would protect Wu Zetian's safety even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead.
Wu Zetian then came to Wu Wei and asked about the casualties of the guards. Wu Wei choked and told her that there were only five injured guards left, and the rest were all killed.
Wu Zetian sadly asked Wu Wei to write down the names of these guards so that he could praise and provide compensation to their families in the future. Wu Wei was naturally grateful and agreed with tears.
Wu Wei then suggested to Wu Zetian that since there were too few people to protect her now, it would be better to stop heading north when they reached the town ahead, and wait for reinforcements from the capital to arrive before setting off back to the capital.
Wu Zetian knew that if she stayed in the town, the assassins would not dare to attack openly. Wu Wei was also thinking about Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian knew it very well.
Wu Zetian did not agree to him immediately, but just said that they would settle down in the town ahead and discuss it together. Wu Zetian naturally wanted to hear the thoughts of Feiyun and others before making a decision.
After a while, those who died in the battle were buried. The injured people were also treated by Lian'er and were out of danger. Feiyun then asked Wu Zetian to get into the carriage, and the injured man also got into another carriage. The group left the valley and walked forward slowly.
At dusk, everyone came to Chenjia Town and stayed at the Chenjia Inn. After everyone settled down and finished eating, Wu Zetian immediately called everyone together to discuss important matters.
After everyone arrived at Wu Zetian's room, they sat down one by one. Liangchen smiled slightly and asked first: "Mrs. Li, do you have anything important to discuss?"
Wu Zetian looked at Shangguan Wan'er, who said solemnly: "Everyone, the gangsters who are trying to harm Mrs. Li have gathered together. These people are extremely powerful and are acting more and more crazily. Our manpower is limited, not theirs. opponent."
Then Shangguan Wan'er expressed her intention to temporarily stay at the Chen's Inn and wait for reinforcements sent from the capital. After the reinforcements arrive, continue your journey. After Shangguan Wan'er finished speaking, she asked for everyone's opinions.
Feiyun knew that this must be Wu Wei's idea, but Wu Zetian was hesitant. Feiyun still didn't want to delay, and finally forced the opponent back today, which showed that with his current strength, those assassins were no match for him.
Feiyun naturally wanted to rush to Luoyang as soon as possible. He was afraid of long nights and many dreams. But it was not convenient for Feiyun to say these words directly. He didn't want to offend Wu Wei, so he had to look at Liangchen.
Liangchen understood what Feiyun meant and immediately expressed his opposition. She thinks that the other party is nothing great. Today they were also hit hard and their strength was greatly reduced. They will not pose any big threat. Liangchen felt that waiting here was not a good idea, so it would be better to head north as soon as possible.
As soon as Liangchen opened his mouth, Tianxiang immediately expressed his support. Of course Tianxiang wanted to reach Luoyang as soon as possible, and she wanted to see how Wu Zetian would explain to her.
Liu Qiong and Jin Ding came for Feiyun, so naturally they followed his lead. After listening to Liangchen's words, they knew what Feiyun meant, and naturally they agreed.
Lu Ying and the others had no objections to this. For them, it made no difference whether they arrived in Luoyang a few days earlier or in the capital a few days later. Seeing that Liangchen was opposed to staying, they naturally expressed their agreement with Liangchen's suggestion. They didn't want to be looked down upon.
Seeing that Liangchen was so confident, Wu Zetian decided to continue walking and wait for reinforcements from the capital. Wu Zetian was actually very worried about the situation in the capital. If she couldn't rush back as soon as possible, there might be chaos in the court.
Now that Wu Zetian had made up his mind, Wu Wei had no choice but to no longer object. Upon seeing this, Feiyun immediately asked Wu Zetian to rest assured that he was absolutely sure to ensure Wu Zetian's safety.
Wu Zetian received Feiyun's support and suddenly felt confident. Wu Zetian asked everyone to return to the guest room to rest as early as possible and recharge their batteries, just in case. The night was uneventful and passed peacefully.
Early the next morning, Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Changzong accompanied Wu Zetian on the first carriage. Wu Wei and Wu Yuan rode with guards on both sides of the carriage.
Then Lian'er helped Furong go out and got into the second carriage. Feiyun knew that Fu Rong had the best relationship with Mei Mei, so he asked Mei Mei to accompany Lian Er in the carriage to accompany and take care of Fu Rong.
The third carriage was filled with injured bodyguards and guards. Lu Ying, Zheng Yu and Zheng Song followed the carriage with the remaining bodyguards.
Liu Qiong and Jin Ding insisted on walking in front to clear the way, but Feiyun couldn't resist them and had to agree. Feiyun, Liangchen, and Tianxiang followed Liu Qiong and his wife and in front of Wu Zetian's carriage. The group set off immediately and left Chenjia Town.
After walking for more than an hour, we arrived at the Ru River. When I arrived at the bridge, I saw four people standing there. At the same time, twenty or thirty people rushed out from both sides and surrounded the convoy.
Feiyun took a closer look and saw that they were Pei Shouyi, Li Gui, Pei Fu and Yanran. The people who gathered around from both sides of the road were led by Pei Dashan and Pei Dahe.
Feiyun quickly jumped up, passed Jin Ding and Liu Qiong, and landed in front of their couple. Feiyun knew that Liu Qiong and his wife were not familiar with Pei Shouyi and others, and was afraid that they would get into trouble.
Feiyun knew that the Pei family suffered a lot of casualties in the last battle. He bowed his hands and said to Pei Shouyi, "Senior Pei, why are you here again? I would like to advise you not to embarrass us again, okay?"
Pei Shouyi had a gloomy face and said nothing. Li Gui next to him shouted: "Lin Feiyun, we are not here to reminisce with you today. If you always hand over the murderer who killed my brother last time to us, we will leave immediately. Otherwise, we will have to fight you desperately to avenge our brothers. avenge."
Feiyun said coldly: "Young master, you have also killed many of us, so what should we do with this? Besides, I have repeatedly advised you not to embarrass us. But you just didn't listen, and people on both sides lost their lives. . I think it’s better to resolve enemies than to end them, so let’s not bring up the past grudges again, how about that?”
When Li Gui saw Feiyun's refusal, he was furious and stopped talking nonsense. He immediately drew his sword and walked towards Feiyun. When Jin Ding saw this, he was not polite. He pulled out his sword, jumped up, and with a strong movement, the sword struck Li Gui straight.
Li Gui didn't move, he just waved his sword and swept across with the "Golden Peng Spreading Wings" move. This move was executed just right, and the tip of Jin Ding's sword was ready to pierce.
But there was a "crack" sound, the swords collided, and sparks flew everywhere. Jin Ding took advantage of the rebound power of Li Gui's sword and jumped up high. Jin Ding volleyed down again and stabbed Li Gui in the back.
Li Gui swung his sword back, and there was another "Chu" sound. Jin Ding was shaken and turned upside down twice before landing. Li Gui couldn't hold back his momentum and circled twice in succession before he stood firm.
Both sides used 80% of their internal strength, and Li Gui was obviously slightly better. After all, Jin Ding borrowed the power of the volley to pounce. Jin Ding of the Jin family secretly praised in his heart: "This person's internal strength is slightly stronger than mine. He really has a few tricks up his sleeve. It seems he can't be careless!"
Li Gui also knew at this time that although the opponent's swordsmanship was exquisite, his internal strength was slightly lacking. As soon as Jin Ding's feet touched the ground, he raised his sword and attacked again. At this time, both of them knew that they had met a strong enemy, and they no longer dared to underestimate the enemy, and both of them were very energetic. Li Gui greeted him with a sword, and the two fought together. An attack is like a violent storm. A guard is like a copper wall and an iron wall.
The fight between the two became more and more intense. When the fight reached its peak, Jin Ding's swordsmanship became more and more erratic. He advanced like an ape moving branches and retreated like a dragon or a snake. But Li Gui was well-informed and was not nervous. Instead, he was ready and used his sword to protect his whole body. Jin Ding's successive attacks were all resolved one by one.
In the blink of an eye, the two fought for nearly a hundred rounds, and they were indistinguishable. The two fought for a long time, and Li Gui found that Jin Ding's internal energy was still abundant and could not be consumed in a short while, so he wanted to end the fight as soon as possible. What he was worried about was that although his internal strength was slightly stronger, his opponent's swordsmanship was too sophisticated. If you are not careful, you may be taken advantage of by her.
Li Guizheng was thinking secretly, and Jin Ding struck with his sword. Li Gui immediately mobilized his internal strength and swung his sword with all his strength. The sword struck Jin Ding's sword like lightning. Jin Ding had already noticed it and sneered, only to hear the sound of "clang" and the swords clashing.
Jin Ding did not expect that the other party would suddenly exert force, and the long sword was so shaken that it bounced outward and almost flew out of his hand. At the same time, Li Gui raised his left hand, and a dart went straight to Jin Ding. Then Li Gui jumped up and struck Jin Ding with his left palm. He made four moves in a row, all in one go, one after another.
Jin Dingzheng was startled and suspicious when she saw the dart coming through the air. She had no time to think about it and had to run away. But he didn't expect that her move had already been calculated by Li Gui. As soon as Jin Dinggang jumped up, Li Gui's left palm had already attacked.
Jin Ding didn't expect that he would have a back-up move. He was caught off guard and had to retreat quickly, but was still hit in the chest by the palm wind. Fortunately, he retreated in time and Jin Ding was not seriously injured.
Jin Ding took advantage of the situation and flipped backwards, landing on the ground. It was a huge loss of face for Li Gui to secretly discover a hidden weapon. He saw that although Jin Ding was hit, he did not admit defeat and landed safely. Li Gui suddenly became anxious, jumped up, and slashed at him with his sword.
