Yanmei said to Xianglan: "Can the master of the sect order the people of your sect to put down their weapons automatically? To avoid causing trouble."
Xianglan said: "Princess, if this is not the case, please be patient for a while. I will conduct a thorough investigation on our sect and report the results to the Princess as soon as I have them."
Furong immediately said: "No, since the princess is here, why is it your turn to push back and forth?"
Xianglan looked at Yanmei and the others and saw that she seemed confident and did not appear to be seriously injured. Xianglan knew that if they fought head-on, the whole Xiangmen would not be their opponents. After all, they were the government, and it would be unwise to openly confront them.
Xianglan pondered for a while and said: "Well, I will go with the princess. I believe that the princess will not unjustly accuse me, a little girl." Then she turned to the people in Xiangmen and said: "You all perform your duties. Don’t act rashly. Let me talk about everything until I come back.”
Yanmei and Liang Furong looked at each other and returned to the government office with Xianglan.
Back at the Yamen, Yanmei asked people to imprison Xianglan, and then asked Furong: "We have arrested him, what should we do next?"
Fu Rong said slowly: "Let's lock her up for a few days. After the injured person takes the magic pill and recovers, we can make plans."
Liu Shui also said: "Looking at the expression on Xiangmen today, if we had not known that there was a large army behind us, we might have rebelled immediately."
Furong said: "Why do I feel that Miss Feng has been acting very strangely recently? There are many things I can't understand."
Liu Shui said: "Are you too worried? There is something strange about her."
Furong said: "Look at Guan Yin and Guan Liang. So many people didn't find any clues, but she found out easily. She invited you to Zuixian Tower that day, and then the government office was attacked. These things are too coincidental. It has to make people suspicious.”
Yanmei also continued: "There is indeed something wrong with what the girl said, but there is no evidence. Let's not think too much about it and just pay attention to her."
Liu Shui thought about it and felt that what Furong said was reasonable, so he said, "Then let's pay more attention in the future, but don't let her notice."
Fleur said: "Okay then. I'll think about it carefully these days."
The magical elixir was indeed very effective. Once the injured person took it, he recovered in a few days. The skills of Yanmei, Linglong and Clever were restored, and the power of the government office doubled. Du Dan and Taohua also recovered as before.
On the next day, there was no response from all the Xiangmen. They just invited some well-known gentlemen to come to the Marquis Mansion to inquire and intercede, and begged the princess to release Xianglan.
The princess called Fu Rong and discussed countermeasures with Liu Shui.
Furong asked everyone else to step back and said to the princess and Liu Shui: "I have thought of a plan, but it must be kept strictly confidential. Only the three of us know it to prevent it from being leaked."
Seeing that she was so cautious, Yanmei and Liu Shui naturally agreed.
It turns out that Furong set a trap and wanted the other party to get in. That is to announce to the outside world that it has been discovered that Xiao Xianglan ordered his men to attack the government office. The crime was so heinous that he would be beheaded in public two days later.
If the whole Xiangmen had participated in the attack on the government office, they would naturally be extremely nervous. They were afraid that the government would seize the opportunity to seize the government, and they were also afraid that the sect leader would be killed, so he would try to find a way to rescue the sect leader.
If they wanted to rescue him, they could only do it in three places. One was to go directly to the government office to rescue the person, the other was to escort him to the execution ground and the third was to do it at the execution ground. Then all you have to do is arrange everything, wait for them to fall into the trap, and force them to reveal their true colors.
Yanmei asked again: "What if they don't show up in the end? You can't really kill her, right?"
Fu Rong smiled and said: "Of course not. We can use paper to make a fake knife. After cutting it, if they don't respond, it won't kill the person. At this time, arrange for someone to come and report that the governor has an order to postpone it. Execute the execution and deal with it after he comes back. Otherwise, it will be over. However, I don’t think they will take such a big risk."
After Furong finished speaking, Liu Shui and Gao Yanmei looked at each other, looked at Furong and said, "You devil, you have so many tricks. Then let's do it like this."
On the same day, the government posted a notice stating that Xiao Xianglan, the main culprit in the rebellion, would be executed and beheaded at noon the next day to serve as a warning to others. It caused a sensation in the whole city.
At night, the bright moon shines high and the breeze blows. Liu Shui inspected the government office with peony and peach blossoms. To ensure the safety of the place, Furong asked the princess to take Linglong and Clever, Liu Shui to take peonies and peach blossoms, and Hongying to take chrysanthemums and plum blossoms, and take turns patrolling. She also asked Chanjuan to take the four people in front of her to guard the secret room to prevent any accidents. The princess was also asked to mobilize heavy troops from Li Xin to guard around the government office.
Furong wanted to follow Liu Shui herself, but the princess refused to let her go. The princess was very satisfied when she saw that Furong had arranged everything carefully and thoroughly. The princess asked Pingting to protect her and treated Furong as a treasure.
In the middle of the night, the government office was silent, except for the occasional croaking of frogs. Suddenly, several black shadows flew in from outside the side wall, followed by the crowds of people around them.
Liu Shui hurriedly asked Mudan, Taohua and others to ambush them first, and then surrounded them when they reached the courtyard.
This group of people slowly moved into the courtyard and were about to rush towards the main hall. Liu Shui suddenly shouted: "Surround them up." After shouting, Liu Shui jumped out and stood in front of the hall, blocking the way of the man in black.
Liu Shui stood proudly and shouted: "You have been surrounded. Put down your weapons quickly and spare your lives."
The first two masked men in black didn't even answer. They slashed with their swords at the same time. Liu Shui greeted them with his sword. The other men in black attacked Mudan and others one after another, and suddenly there was a loud sound of swords and shouts of killing.
After hearing this, Yanmei and Hongying inside wanted to go out to help. Furong quickly said: "Princess Princess and Sister Hongying, please don't move for now. Let's take a look first. The young master is here, so nothing happens for now. This should be This is just the first wave of testing, there will definitely be others coming later.”
Liu Shui swung his sword repeatedly, forcing the two men in black to retreat. Peony and Taohua worked together to block another big man in black, while the guards fought in a melee with the other men in black.
The princess saw it in the main hall and asked strangely: "Why didn't Brother Liu use his strongest kung fu to quickly defeat the opponent?"
Hongying said: "The princess doesn't know something. Those moves consume a lot of internal energy. His current skills have not reached the level of proficiency. Therefore, those moves can only be used occasionally and cannot be used continuously. Otherwise, if he encounters a strong enemy again, That’s troublesome.”
Yanmei quickly asked: "Is there any way to quickly improve his skill?"
Furong nuzzled at Hongying, meaning she wanted to ask Hongying. Hongying's face turned red and she said coyly: "Let's talk about it later, now the enemy is at hand!"
At this time, Liu Shui waved his sword, and the two men in black struggled to fight. Liu Shui was about to use his special move when suddenly four more figures jumped out and attacked Liu Shui and others. The situation suddenly changed, and Furong hurriedly said: "Sister Hongying, go and help."
Hongying, Chrysanthemum, and Plum Blossoms quickly jumped out of the hall, guarding the entrance of the hall exquisitely and smartly. Yanmei, Pingting and Furong were sitting in the main hall.
Hongying rushed to Liu Shui's side, fended off the two attacking men, and joined forces with Liu Shui to block the four leading men in black. Chrysanthemum and plum blossoms have also made love with the two men in black.
Seeing that the fight was in a stalemate, Hongying shouted to Liu Shui: "Two swords unite!" Upon hearing this, Liu Shui hurriedly changed the sword into colorful swordsmanship. Suddenly the sword energy overflowed, and Hongying also flew away at the same time. Starting from the beginning, he also displayed colorful sword skills.
The combined power of their two swords was indeed huge. They forced the four of them back together and stabbed two of them in the arms, causing the sword to fall to the ground. The veils of the four people were also pierced by the sword energy and fell to the ground.
Liu Shui took a look and found out that they were Wang Xiang, Wang Jiang, Hu Hai and others from the whole Xiangmen. It seems that after Hu Hai was captured, he took refuge in Quanxiangmen.
Liu Shui shouted: "As expected, it's you, it's time to settle the general ledger today."
Liu Shui and Hongying had the same mind and attacked from above and below at the same time, and the four of them joined forces to defend. With a loud shout, Hongying stabbed Wang Jiang in the shoulder with her sword, and Liu Shui also hit Hu Hai with a palm.
The four of them were shocked and flew back. Liu Shui and Hongying caught up with him and were about to kill him. Suddenly two powerful forces struck from both sides. Liu Shui and Hongying could only stop chasing and fight against the enemies attacking from the left and right.
It turned out that the four people were bandaging up for a while, two of them attacked desperately, and the other two rushed towards Taohua and the others. At the same time, four more figures flew in from outside the wall and headed straight for the main hall.
Seeing this, Linglong and Clever immediately jumped out of the palace gate to challenge. Six people were killed together. Those four were not weak in skills and had practiced the four-way combined attack formation. They were actually inseparable from Linglong and Lingli.
As soon as Linglong and Clever left the main hall, two more men in black rushed towards the main hall. These people were obviously very familiar with the government office and knew that Xiao Xianglan was locked up in a secret room under the main hall.
Yanmei and Pingting greeted each other with swords, and the four of them fought again in the palace. The two people who rushed into the palace were obviously very powerful, and the sword wielder actually went back and forth with Yanmei, and they were evenly matched. The other one is about as good as Pingting and can't compete with her.
For a time, both sides were in a deadlock everywhere. Liu Shui was in a hurry and didn't know if the other party had any help. He was about to strike harshly when he heard a soft cry: "Stop it all!"
Everyone saw that on the roof of the house, Xiao Xianglan grabbed Ru Dan's shoulder with one hand and held a sword across Ru Dan's throat with the other.
There were two slender, masked women in black beside Xianglan. It seems that these two people rescued Xianglan from the secret room and ran to catch Rudan.
Liu Shui was shocked and shouted: "Everyone, stop."
Both sides stopped, and the two people who rushed into the hall also flew out. The two sides faced each other on the left and right.
Yanmei and Hongying stood on both sides of Liu Shui. Liu Shui said, "Master Xiao, what do you want?"
Xiao Xianglan said: "You guys make way for us to evacuate, and restrain the officers and soldiers outside from blocking or pursuing us."
Liu Shui and Yanmei looked at each other and were about to speak. Furong stood up and said, "We can let you go, but what guarantee can you give that you won't hurt Miss Rudan?"
Xiao Xianglan said harshly: "You bitch, you messed up my plan. Sooner or later I will catch you and chop you alive to relieve the hatred in my heart. I have no interest in this girl. You guys let it go Open the road and we will let her go when we are far away from this place."
Liu Shui hurriedly said to Yanmei: "Princess Princess, give the order. It's important to save people. Since they have revealed their true colors, they naturally can't run away."
Yanmei had no choice but to order her release.
Xianglan escorted Rudan and slowly retreated with everyone in Xiangmen. When we arrived at the bank of the Xiangjiang River, we saw that someone had already arranged a boat.
Liu Shui smiled bitterly, which was exactly the same as his original arrangement for robbing the law field.
After Xianglan got on the boat, she pushed Rudan and Rudan stumbled to the ground.
Xianglan waved her hand, and the boat headed straight for the other side like an arrow from the string.
Two people rushed out to help Rudan, but they were licorice and peony.
Liu Shui hurried over and asked, "Sister Rudan, are you okay?"
Ru Dan didn't answer. Liu Shui took a look and saw that the acupuncture points were sealed, and he hurriedly used his strength to untie them.
Rudan was still in shock and said slowly: "Thank you, brother."
When everyone returned to the Hou Mansion, Furong was very angry. The good plan almost succeeded, but was ruined for no reason.
Yanmei asked the injured Chanjuan: "Chanjuan, what happened in the secret room?"
Chanjuan told everyone that she heard fighting outside and became more vigilant. Unexpectedly, two figures suddenly rushed towards them, waving their hands, and in an instant the four people in front of them fell to the ground. Fortunately, Chanjuan had sharp eyes and saw the flash of cold light, which was probably a hidden weapon. She jumped to avoid it, but she still hit a few of them.
Chanjuan tried her best to intercept, but the opponent's martial arts skills were not inferior to hers. One person was entangled with the maid Chanjuan, and the other person had rescued the sect master. Then the man in black fled away, and none of the guards could block his moves.
When Chanjuan wanted to catch up again, a cold light hit her. Chanjuan had no choice but to roll back to avoid it, allowing the opponent to escape. Who knew they would kidnap Miss Rudan, which was completely unexpected.
Yanmei hesitated for a moment and said: "The other party is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, unfathomable. Chanjuan's kung fu can deal with first-class masters, but she didn't expect to be defeated by these hidden weapons. Everyone must be extra careful when encountering these two people in the future."
Yanmei said to Furong again: "Sister, what else do you have to say now?"
Fu Rong thought for a moment and said: "Princess, I didn't think about it for a moment. However, I finally forced them to reveal their true colors. It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Now we can issue an order to seal off the entire Xiangmen Gate and arrest important criminals. The whole city is on alert. , trace the whereabouts of these people.”
Yanmei nodded and immediately arranged for people to implement it. Then she said to Furong: "This time Xiao Xianglan hates you even more. From now on, you are not allowed to leave the government office at will. You must stay with Liu Shaoxia or me. I will ask Pingting to protect you."
Furong said quickly: "Thank you very much, Princess." She then winked at Liu Shui and Yanmei. Yanmei understood that she had something else to say, so she asked everyone to step aside, leaving only Liu Shui, Yanmei and Furong. Liu Shui said: "Sister, have you thought of something?"
Furong hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "We have spies here."
Yanmei and Liu Shui were shocked and asked in unison: "Where do you start talking about this?"
Furong said seriously: "Think about it, Xiao Xianglan was imprisoned in a secret room, and only a few people in the house knew about it. How could they find the secret room so easily? Not many people knew where Miss Rudan lived. They were the same. He took her hostage easily."
When Furong said this, Liu Shui and Liu Shui also felt that something was fishy. Liu Shui then asked: "Then who do you think it is? You don't think it's Li Feng, do you?"
Furong sighed and said: "I haven't figured it out yet. It shouldn't be her this time. The young lady has always had a grudge against the princess. She rarely comes here, so naturally she is not familiar with the situation in the government office. But the people in the government office, I didn’t find anyone suspicious. If there is such a person, it would be a serious problem. If he secretly poisons, it will be terrible."
