Feiyun saw that although this man was dressed as a businessman, his temples were bulging high and his eyes were shining brightly. He was obviously a master with deep inner strength. Behind this man stands a young and pretty girl with a long sword on her back. She must be dressed as a personal maid.
When the man saw Feiyun coming in, he stood up to greet him, bowed his hands and said, "This is Xiao Da. What do you call the young master?"
Feiyun cupped his hands and returned the greeting: "It turns out to be Mr. Xiao, my name is Lin Feiyun. I am just a village man in the mountains. I can't bear the title of young master, so please just call me by my name. Mr. Xiao must have brought me here for Miss Luohua. Something about that, right?"
Xiao Da smiled slightly and said: "Although the young hero is dressed in ordinary clothes, his temperament is extraordinary and his future is limitless. Please take a seat first and we might as well chat over a drink."
Xiao Da then made a gesture to please sit down, and waved his hand at the four strong men to signal them to retreat. Feiyun was polite when he saw Xiao Da, and seemed to have no hostility.
Feiyun glanced at the table and saw that it was filled with delicious food. Feiyun thought to himself that it would be okay if he came, so he did not refuse, thanked him, and sat down opposite Xiao Da. Seeing this, the four strong men retreated out of the door together. The maid came forward, filled the wine glasses for the two of them, and stepped aside.
Xiao Da raised his wine glass and said, "When Xiao first arrived in the Central Plains, he met a young hero. What a blessing! Young Master Lin, please!"
Feiyun did not raise his glass, but said calmly: "Master Xiao has given you too much praise. I'm not good at drinking. Let's get down to business! Is Master Xiao here to take Miss Luohua back?"
Xiao Da was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "She said her name is Luo Hua? This girl is still so naughty! The young hero may have misunderstood. I'm not here to capture her, but to beg her to go back. I don't know what she said to the young hero What did you do to make the young hero think so of Xiao?"
Feiyun had already guessed that Luohua was not her real name, so he was not surprised by Xiao Da's reaction. Feiyun knew that Xiao Da's name might not be true, and Feiyun didn't care. Feiyun really has no interest in knowing the real names of Luohua and Xiao Da. He was already used to calling her Luo Hua Wei Hua'er, but if she changed her name, he wouldn't be used to it.
Feiyun said calmly: "This junior is about to ask Mr. Xiao, how can he be so cruel to marry his daughter and Luohua to an old man in his sixties as concubines? For a small profit, he has to take two young people Is the girl's happiness in life a sacrifice? Although this matter is a matter of Mr. Xiao's family, the younger generation thinks it is very inappropriate. "
After hearing this, Xiao Da was silent for a while and then said: "This is because Xiao was confused for a moment and made such a ridiculous decision. Fortunately, this girl Luo Hua ran away, otherwise I would really have made a big mistake. In that case, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
Feiyun asked in surprise: "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean?"
Xiao Da told Feiyun that he was a famous businessman in Youzhou. He had been in business for several generations and had a lot of wealth. His business spread all over the north, he had trading houses in many places, and he also had many business dealings with the Khitan tribe.
A Khitan prince accidentally fell in love with Xiao Da's daughter, so he threatened to ban Xiao Da from doing business in Khitan and wanted to force Xiao Da's daughter to be his concubine. Xiao Da was afraid that it would affect his business, so he was forced to agree to the Khitan prince. Unexpectedly, Luohua objected desperately and escaped secretly.
After Luo Hua escaped, Miss Xiao was angry and anxious. She fell ill and was bedridden, so the wedding could only be postponed. But not long after, the fiancé fell ill and died. In this case, the marriage contract will naturally become invalid. If Luo Hua hadn't escaped from the marriage, she and Miss Xiao would have become widows within a few days of getting married.
Although Xiao Da was relieved, he was still worried. Because his daughter missed Luohua, her body never recovered. His wife was already in poor health. Seeing her daughter losing weight day by day, she became depressed and sick, and she couldn't afford to get sick.
Xiao Da had no choice but to come to the Central Plains in person to look for Luo Hua. As long as Luo Hua returns to the house, her daughter will naturally recover slowly, and Madam will be fine.
Xiao Da took several servants who were repelled by Feiyun to Xiongbao Town near Nanyang to inquire about the news. But they were not familiar with the place, and it took them a long time to find out that Luo Hua followed Fei Yun north, possibly to Luoyang.
Xiao Da and others went all the way north and inquired all the way. After they arrived in the capital, they inquired for a long time, but did not get any useful information. Besides, Feiyun had just arrived in the capital. Very few people knew about him, and Xiao Da and others had no way of asking. In desperation, Xiao Da had to ask four servants to search on the street to try their luck. More than a month has passed and still nothing.
Feiyun came out of the business today and was accidentally seen by one of Xiao Da's servants. The servant was overjoyed and hurried back to report Xiao Da. Xiao Da immediately asked the four of them to come together to invite Feiyun, and he waited in the teahouse.
After hearing this, Feiyun thought to himself that if it was true as he said, Luohua wouldn't have to marry that bad old man. The Xiao family was kind to her, and Miss Xiao and Mrs. Xiao were also very good to her. Now that they are in poor health, according to reason, Luohua should go back to visit and serve them. But what if he deliberately made up a lie and wanted to trick himself into telling Luo Hua where he lived? This is something that cannot be avoided. After all, Feiyun and Xiao Da didn't know each other before, so naturally they wouldn't trust him completely easily.
Xiao Da saw Feiyun's face full of doubts, smiled slightly, and said: "We have never met each other, and it is human nature for the young knight to have doubts. I don't think it is worse than this. The young knight will designate the place and time, and you will bring Luo Hua to meet us. We will meet each other. Tell her whether my words are true or false, and she will be able to tell. You can rest assured that I am not trying to deceive her and then take her away by force. If she refuses to go back with me, I will never Don’t force it. I’ve heard my slaves say that your martial arts skills are great. If you and Luo Hua join forces, even if the rest of us want to force you to stay, we can’t do it.”
Feiyun saw that he was telling the truth, so he believed Xiao Da's words. Feiyun thought for a while and had no choice but to tell Xiao Da the truth. Feiyun said that Luohua had been away from her for a long time, and now she should be with her master Qingfeng Taoist Aunt.
Feiyun asked Xiao Da to take a trip to the Hengshan sect, and maybe he could see the fallen flowers. Xiao Da didn't seem to know that Luo Hua was a disciple of the Hengshan Sect. After learning the news, he quickly thanked Fei Yun.
After Feiyun told Xiao Da the whereabouts of Luohua, he immediately stood up and left. Xiao Da naturally hopes to see Luo Hua soon, he just doesn't want to show an anxious look in front of Fei Yun. At this moment, Xiao Da was in a hurry to rush to Hengshan, and did not want to keep Feiyun, but gave him away. Feiyun turned around and left the elegant room, went down the stairs, left the teahouse, and hurried towards Wang's house.
Feiyun came to the Golden Knife Sect, but Wang Hao and Ruoxue had not returned yet. After Feiyun saw Wang Feng and his wife, he told them about Wang Hao and Ruoxue's behavior. Naturally, Wang Feng and his wife pretended not to know about this, and quickly said that they would strictly discipline Wang Hao's brother and sister when they came back.
Wang Feng immediately promised that Wang Hao and Ruoxue would not harass the singing and dancing restaurant again. If Wang Hao's brother and sister cause losses to the restaurant in the future, he will definitely pay double the compensation. Seeing that Wang Feng and his wife were sincere, Feiyun didn't have much to say, so he could only say goodbye and go back.
Early the next morning, Feiyun was practicing martial arts in the backyard of Heshanghang when he saw senior brother and sister Xu Zhitang walking in. Feiyun was surprised that Xu Zhitang had accepted Wu Zetian's appointment and became the deputy commander of the palace guard.
Although Myolie and Luo Sitang were very opposed to Xu Zhitang's appointment as deputy commander of the palace guard at first, they soon accepted Xu Zhitang's explanation. Xing'er and Luo Sidang also followed him into Xu Zhitang's palace and became guards. Xu Zhitang and the others have been staying in the palace since then and rarely come out.
Xu Zhitang was not on duty at the palace today and came to the trading house early in the morning. Could something big have happened? Xu Zhitang and the others came to Feiyun and bowed with their hands in hand.
Feiyun returned the salute and asked hurriedly: "Vice Commander Xu, is there anything urgent?"
Xu Zhitang said awkwardly: "Shaoxia Lin, something big has indeed happened. A few days ago, the famous Silver Sword Sect in the capital was massacred overnight. The emperor was furious and ordered King Liang, King Luling, King Xiang and Xing to solve the case as soon as possible. As for It is currently impossible to know who specifically committed the crime. The visitor left the four characters 'Xiaoxiang Three Heroes' on the wall."
Feiyun also heard Li Xian talk about this matter, but he didn't take it to heart. This was obviously someone else's plan to sow discord, and Wu Zetian would definitely not believe it. Feiyun also went to inquire about the Silver Sword Sect, thinking that this was just a battle between rivers and lakes, and the court would naturally send people to investigate, so he didn't pay too much attention.
But Xu Zhitang then told Feiyun that someone attacked the palace last night. Feiyun was greatly puzzled, how could someone suddenly be so bold and dare to break into the palace at night?
Feiyun did not joke with Xu Zhitang and asked hurriedly: "Brother Xu, how many people from the other side broke into the palace, what were the casualties in the palace?"
Xu Zhitang immediately replied: "I was not there at the time. I heard from the guards that there were about four or five people. They were all people with strong martial arts skills, very fast movements, and were covered in black. They didn't hurt anyone, they only killed a few people. The guards and maids sealed the acupuncture points and then went straight to the harem. They seemed to be very familiar with the palace. The maids said that there might be women among them and they had smelled the scent of rouge. Fortunately, these people did not find Wu Zetian and were discovered by the guards. These people He was not reluctant to fight and quickly escaped from the palace."
After Xu Zhitang finished speaking, he conveyed Wu Zetian's words, hoping that Feiyun could protect Li Xian with all his strength. Wu Zetian also said that if Feiyun was willing, she would ask him to track down who broke into the palace at night.
Feiyun thought for a while and said that he would find out who it was. He will also make sure that Li Xian is fine. After all, Feiyun brought Li Xian into Luoyang from Fangzhou. Of course, he can't watch Li Xian get into trouble. After Xu Zhitang finished speaking, he took Xing'er and Luo Sitang and left in a hurry.
After Xu Zhitang left, Liangchen said to Feiyun: "Brother, I suspect that the people who broke into the palace at night may be Pei Shouyi and others. Pei Shouyi and his group are highly skilled in martial arts and have the ability to enter and leave the palace unscathed. They hate Wu Zetian deeply, so naturally I think I will go for an assassination."
Tianxiang said: "Brother, from what Xu Zhitang said just now, we can know that the other party is familiar with the palace. Someone must have tipped off these people, or some of them are very familiar with the palace. The identities of these people are difficult to determine and need to be thought about in detail! What the elder brother said Yelu Xingyun, it’s also very possible!”
