Feiyun and Tianxiang felt very strange after hearing this, and asked what was going on. The old man then told Feiyun that those people explained that their goods were very valuable, and in order to avoid accidents, they asked the nearby villagers not to disturb them in order to avoid unpleasant things happening.
That group of people made the village look like a Bagua array, making it impossible for outsiders to enter. At the same time, those people also set up many traps and hidden weapons inside and outside the village.
Two young men from a nearby village were curious and broke in secretly. As a result, the two of them wandered around inside for a long time without finding a way out. The two men ran around randomly and were hit by hidden arrows. Fortunately, the other party found out early and sent the two people back, barely saving their lives. After that, no one nearby dared to go there.
Feiyun asked: "These people are strange, why are they so rejected thousands of miles away?"
The old man said: "It's not surprising, it's just about everyone's personality. Their things may be really valuable, that's why they take such precautions!"
Feiyun said again: "Old man, we met a thief on the road and stole all our clothes and property. Can we buy some old clothes from you?"
The old man said, "Of course that's okay. You can take some of my old clothes." After saying that, the old man walked in. Soon, he took out a pile of clothes.
The old man put the clothes on the table and said: "You two, these are some old clothes of my son and daughter-in-law. They have gone to my daughter-in-law's family, and it will take many days to come back. You choose."
Feiyun and Tianxiang hurriedly thanked the old man, each picked a suit and put it on immediately. Feiyun handed the old man a piece of silver, and the old man quickly waved his hand and said, "These are just some old clothes, not worth so much money."
Feiyun immediately said: "If you refuse to accept the money, we have to return the clothes to you." The old man stopped refusing.
Feiyun and Tianxiang said goodbye to the old man, left his house and walked towards the woods. On the way, Feiyun looked at Tianxiang dressed as a little daughter-in-law, and couldn't help but smile: "Sister, from now on, you are really my little daughter-in-law!"
Tianxiang's face turned red, she looked at Feiyun, her heart was sweet, but she said: "I will not marry a black hunter from a mountain village!"
Feiyun looked at himself and realized that his attire really looked like a hunter in the deep mountains and old forests! Feiyun smiled knowingly and said, "What's wrong with marrying a hunter? Aren't you able to eat wild game often?"
The two of them walked, chatting and laughing softly, and soon reached the edge of the woods. The two of them looked at it for a while before slowly walking in. When I entered the woods and took a look, I saw that the roads inside were crisscrossed and very complicated. The two of them were very talented and bold, so they walked in directly. Not long after entering, the two quickly lost their way.
Tianxiang quickly shouted: "Brother, there is indeed something evil. We are lost. No matter how we walk around, we are always in the same place."
Feiyun was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case. He stopped hastily and looked around carefully. Although the two of them were good at martial arts, they were not proficient in the battle method and they were at a loss of ideas.
Feiyun thought for a while and said: "Sister, it seems that there is some kind of formation here, but you and I don't know how to break it. It's not okay to keep walking like this, and you won't be able to get out until you are exhausted. There is only one way now. Let’s go, that means flying up to the top of the tree and running out directly from the top of the tree.”
Tianxiang was overjoyed and said: "Brother is right. What we are confused about now are these messy roads. If we climb the tree, we can get rid of the confusion of true and false paths on the ground. We will definitely get out of the trap!"
Feiyun nodded and said: "Now we can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Let's get up the tree immediately." Tianxiang didn't say anything, and immediately jumped up to the top of the tree.
Feiyun waited for Tianxiang to stand firm, and then followed him up to the tallest tree nearby. The two of them looked forward and could indeed see the mountain village in the distance. The two were overjoyed and hurriedly flew out. The two of them first jumped to the top of a nearby big tree, then moved forward. After several ups and downs, they finally came out of the woods.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they arrived outside the woods. Tianxiang said: "There is indeed something weird here. Go back and ask Liangchen if she has any solution."
Feiyun said: "Since we already know that they are here, there is no need to worry. Since Xia Feng can leave a mark, it means that they should be safe for the time being. Let's go back first and discuss it carefully." The two of them turned and returned to the capital. .
In the afternoon, the two returned to the trading house. Liangchen and others then entered the hall and took their seats. Liangchen asked: "Brother, Sister Xiang, if you haven't returned home all night, have you already wiped out Xiao Yan and the others?"
Tianxiang shook his head and said, "It's a long story, it's really hard to explain in one sentence." Then he told Liangchen and others about what happened last night.
After listening to this, Liangchen thought for a while and said: "It seems that someone did leak the news. Otherwise, even if the people in the Lotus Inn could escape in time, the people in the Lotus Villa would not be able to escape so cleanly and calmly. Brother, I think You should immediately remind Li Xian that there must be spies among them. If the spies are not eliminated, it will be difficult for the government to wipe out Xiao Yan's Fengtang."
Feiyun quickly asked: "In your opinion, should we tell them where Fengtang currently lives?"
Liangchen thought for a moment and said: "Don't do it for now, lest the news leaks out again. It won't be too late to tell them after they find out the traitor!"
Tianxiang continued: "Sister, what you said makes sense. Then should we send people to take turns monitoring Fengtang? In that case, we can also find opportunities to contact Xia Feng and others."
Liangchen said without hesitation: "This is naturally necessary. I want to divide our people into several groups and take turns hiding near the woods to observe their actions. This matter can be discussed by Sister Xiang and I. The eldest brother will go to the palace first. It’s better to go once.”
Feiyun said: "Then thank you two eldest ladies for your hard work. I'll go and come back."
Feiyun stood up, cupped his hands towards them, turned around and walked out of the hall, came outdoors, and hurriedly walked towards the Luling Palace.
After a while, Feiyun arrived at the Luling Palace. When the guard at the door saw that it was Feiyun, he hurriedly came forward to greet him and asked Feiyun to follow him directly in.
Feiyun asked in surprise: "Brother, why don't you report it first?"
The guard smiled and said: "Young hero is a good friend of the prince, we all know it. Besides, the prince and princess have already made an explanation. You and Miss Tianxiang will come and see you as you please, without any notification!"
Feiyun sighed in his heart. It seemed that Li Xian and his wife did not regard themselves and Yu Tianxiang as outsiders. Based on this trust alone, he would also help Li Xian destroy the White Lotus Sect and gain a firm foothold in the court.
Feiyun followed the guards, entered the room, and soon arrived at the hall. Entering the hall, I saw Li Xian discussing matters with Ximen Shan and Luo Chuan from a distance.
When Li Xian saw Feiyun coming in, he said, "Young Master Lin, you are here. Please take a seat."
Feiyun said: "Your Highness, Feiyun is here to apologize. Your Highness wasted no time and all your hard work was in vain. This is all Feiyun's fault. Please don't punish other people for this. If you want to be held accountable, it will be up to me." bear."
Li Xian smiled slightly and said: "Where did Mr. Lin want to go? This operation was originally a test. The Fengtang gangsters are too cunning, how can I blame you. That is indeed Fengtang's lair, and your information is not wrong. . We missed the point, but it has nothing to do with you. Sit down first, and we will discuss it slowly." Feiyun thanked Li Xian for his kindness and sat down next to Luo Chuan.
Li Xian continued: "Young Master Lin, since you knew that we were in vain, you must have been secretly following us last night."
Feiyun nodded and said, "That's right. In fact, not long after Brother Xu arrived at Lotus Villa, I also arrived. I was also surprised to see that there was no one inside."
Li Xian said: "I remember you said that someone has sneaked into Fengtang. Is there any news about them?"
Feiyun shook his head and said: "Not yet. However, this matter must be kept secret. Only a few of us can know it, and no other people can know it. Otherwise, once the news is leaked, the lives of several people inside will be in danger."
Li Xian immediately said: "Young Master Lin, you can rest assured about this matter."
Luo Chuan asked doubtfully: "Young Master Lin, what do you mean by your words, do you mean we have spies here?"
Feiyun nodded and said: "I came here this time to tell you about this matter. I think there must be someone in the palace or palace who informed Fengtang. Otherwise, when we get there during the day, there will be people coming and going. , it was very lively. Why did they disappear without a trace at night? I am sure that it was because the spies leaked the secret that Fengtang was able to evacuate in time. "
Li Xian also said: "Young Master Lin, I have troubled you. In fact, we were discussing this matter just now, and we also felt that someone had leaked the news. But there is no clue. This matter is very important and cannot be careless. Since you have also thought that there is something wrong. Traitor, have you thought of anyone worthy of suspicion?"
Feiyun shook his head and said: "After I told you about this matter, I went to the palace, and then left the palace and left the city. The people I contacted were all people in the palace and the palace, so it is not easy to investigate. I think if it is the palace It doesn’t matter to the people inside. If it’s someone from the palace, it’s going to be troublesome.”
Li Xian asked in surprise: "Young Master Lin, why do you say that? If there are their internal agents in the palace, wouldn't it be very dangerous for the emperor? Once something happens to the emperor, the court will be very unstable, and they won't have a chance. Yet?"
Feiyun thinks that if he is from the palace, he is probably not an important person. At most, they are ordinary eunuchs and maids bribed by Fengtang, or people who have been sneaked in by Fengtang. These people must not be high-ranking people, otherwise they would have taken action against Wu Zetian long ago.
Feiyun also said that there were many palace guards, including Wuwei, Wuyuan, Princess Changping, Princess Yanmei, Xu Zhitang and several other first-class masters. Even if Fengtang went, he would not be able to gain favor.
There are not many experts and guards in the Luling Palace, and their strength is really limited. If Feng Tang came in full force, I'm afraid the palace's strength wouldn't be able to cope with it. Luo Chuan's expression changed drastically. He was not worried about Li Xian's safety, not because Feiyun said their abilities were limited.
Ximen Shan thought for a moment and then asked: "Boy Yun, in your opinion, what should we do?"
