Princess Changping said as she pointed at Shangguan Jian and the others. Wu Sansi said quickly: "Yes, they are my newly recruited guards. Why did the princess make them kneel down? Please let them get up first, and then we can talk."
But the princess shook her head and said: "No, we must clarify the matter before we talk. They are rude to me, shouldn't they be punished?"
Wu Sansi saw that the princess did not give him face, and said angrily: "Shangguan guards, you get up first." When Shangguan Jian and the other three heard Wu Sansi's words, they stood up immediately.
The princess turned red with anger and shouted: "Prince Liang, what qualifications do you have to let them get up? Come on, let me capture them all!" Di Renjie was shocked. He has not seen the emperor yet. If the princess If the noise continues, the situation will deteriorate immediately.
Di Renjie hurriedly persuaded: "Princess, wait a minute. Since these people are under the command of King Liang, they can't escape. We'd better go to the emperor first and ask for his instructions." Di Renjie was a minister at the time and a celebrity of Wu Zetian. Have prestige.
The princess had to give Di Renjie some face, so she said, "Since Mr. Di has spoken, I will listen to you. Let's go into the palace together and report to the emperor." Di Renjie thanked the princess, turned to Wu Sansi and said, "Prince Liang, The old man and the princess have something urgent to see the emperor, please make way!"
Under such circumstances, Wu Sansi did not dare to continue to block him. Because he had already heard that there was something in Di Renjie's words. Di Renjie did not ask to see the emperor, but directly asked him to give way. If Wu Sansi continues to block him, he may fall out on the spot. Di Renjie is the leader of the ministers, and Wu Sansi wants to give him three points. If Di Renjie insists on opposing, Wu Sansi may not get the support of the ministers. Even if he takes the throne by force, I'm afraid he won't be able to sit still.
Wu Sansi thought for a moment and then said: "Master Di and Her Royal Highness Princess want to see the emperor, of course there is no problem. In order to protect the emperor, no one else is allowed to enter." In a blink of an eye, he saw Wu Ji and Princess Yanmei, and immediately acted like his boss He stood up and said to them: "Why are you involved in this matter? Take these people away quickly!"
Wu Ji felt that the situation was different, so he rejected Wu Sansi's request and said: "Prince Liang, please forgive me for not being able to follow your orders. I believe that the emperor's safety is the most important at this moment, and we must stay here to prevent anything from happening." Unexpected." Princess Yanmei also said: "Your Majesty, I think my brother is right. At this moment, protecting the emperor is indeed the top priority, I apologize for not being able to obey!"
Wu Sansi was furious and shouted: "You dare to disobey, aren't you afraid of military law?" Wu Ji sneered: "If you want to punish us, I'm afraid you must get the emperor's order. Although you are the king of Liang, if you don't have the emperor's autograph, Yuzhao, you have no right to deal with us." Wu Sansi was furious, but he couldn't do anything to these two people.
Di Renjie then said to everyone: "Everyone, the princess and I will go in, and you guys will wait here." Yanmei said, "That won't work. Someone must escort the princess and the prime minister before you can go in. We, brothers and sisters, were ordered to pay greetings to the emperor. , how can we go back without seeing the emperor?"
Zhang Jianzhi said, "I think it's OK for Lord Di, the princess and the princess to bring a few maids in." After that, he said to Princess Yanmei: "Princess, I have one more thing. Please!" Seeing his serious look, Yanmei hurriedly said: "Master Zhang, you are too polite. If you need anything, just ask me!"
Zhang Jianzhi approached Yanmei and whispered a few words to her. Yanmei nodded after hearing this, then turned around and gave orders to Pingting and Chanjuan. When Di Renjie saw Zhang Jianzhi finished speaking, he said, "Master Zhang, just stay here and wait for us to come out." Zhang Jianzhi nodded in agreement.
Di Renjie then said to the princess: "Princess please!" The princess stepped forward without giving in, followed closely by four maids including Ruyun, followed by Di Renjie, Yanmei, Linglong and Clever.
Wu Ji was about to step forward, but was held back by Zhang Jianzhi. Wu Ji saw that he kept winking at him and knew that he must have a plan, so he stopped his steps. Wu Sansi stood aside, waiting for Di Renjie, the princess and others to enter, and then said to Shangguan Jian and the others: "I order you to guard the palace gate. No one is allowed to come in without my order! Lord Zhang Changzong, please follow me. Let’s go see the emperor together!” Shangguan Jian and others agreed in unison. Zhang Changzong stepped forward and entered the palace gate with Wu Sansi.
After Wu Ji waited for them to enter, he quietly asked Zhang Jianzhi: "Master Zhang, why don't you let me in?"
Zhang Jianzhi said: "I think the situation today is not right. It would be more useful for you to stay outside."
Wu Ji worriedly said: "If there is an accident in the palace, wouldn't it be more dangerous if a few of them go in?"
Zhang Jianzhi shook his head and said: "Don't worry about this. As long as we stay here, they will be fine. When King Luling arrives, if they haven't come out yet, we will have to force our way in." "
Wu Ji quickly said: "Then I will send someone to invite the King of Luling immediately." Zhang Jianzhi waved his hand and said, "No, the princess has already sent someone." Wu Ji looked around, and sure enough he didn't see Yan. Mei's two personal maids, Pingting and Chanjuan. Gao Jizhong suddenly realized that what Zhang Jianzhi and Yanmei were talking about just now was to send someone to invite Luling King Li Xian.
It turns out that although Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi did not have much contact with Li Xian in private, judging from their words and deeds, they were undoubtedly people who supported Li Xian. As important officials in the court, they would naturally pay special attention to the movements of some key figures in the capital. After careful observation, the two important officials of the imperial court suddenly had an ominous premonition. They even suspected that Wu Sansi and others had concealed some important information, so they were eager to uncover the truth.
Besides, after Li Xian heard what Pingting and Chanjuan said, he hurriedly summoned everyone to discuss. Liangchen said immediately: "Your Highness, since Mr. Zhang specially sent someone to invite you, something big must have happened. From what Pingting said just now, it seems that the harem has been controlled by Wu Sansi and Zhang Changzong. Otherwise, how could not even the princess be allowed in. I think I should go there immediately and find out what’s going on!”
Li Xian hesitated and asked Feiyun, "Young Master Lin, what do you think?" Feiyun thought for a moment and said, "I agree with Liangchen's opinion. Your Highness should go to the harem immediately to meet the emperor." Li Xian saw that everyone unanimously asked him to He went and said, "In that case, let's set off now." Feiyun immediately asked everyone to prepare and accompany Li Xian to protect him.
Surrounded by everyone, Li Xian left the palace and went straight to the palace. Accompanying him were Feiyun, Duan Qing, Liu Shui, Tianxiang, Hongjun, Liangchen, Meijing and others, as well as Luo Chuan and all the guards. However, the Ximenshan family was left in the palace by Feiyun to protect Princess Wei.
Soon Li Xian arrived at the palace, and the palace guard Wu Yuan originally wanted to stop him. Li Xian came forward in person, and Wu Yuan saw Feiyun glaring angrily, so he had to let him go. Li Xian and his party came to the harem, and Zhang Jianzhi and Wu Ji hurriedly came to see them.
Li Xian asked them to stand down without courtesy and asked: "Master Zhang, how is the situation now?" Zhang Jianzhi told him that a person came out just now and left in a hurry. It is estimated that something happened in the palace.
Li Xian was horrified and hurriedly asked Zhang Jianzhi what he should do. Zhang Jianzhi asked Li Xian to go into the palace immediately to see the emperor. Li Xian nodded in agreement, and everyone came to the palace gate with Li Xian in their arms.
Shangguan Jian and the others did not know Li Xian, so they still blocked the way and shouted: "The King of Liang has an order that no one is allowed to enter the palace. You go back quickly!"
Zhang Jianzhi shouted angrily: "How dare you, the prince is here and you haven't come forward to pay your respects!" Shangguan Jian and others just glanced at Zhao Yuankan and said disapprovingly: "We only know the orders of King Liang and do not recognize other princes!" Zhang Jianzhi said angrily: "Guards, these people have offended the prince and should be punished. Who among you is going to capture them?"
Before Zhang Jianzhi finished speaking, Wu Ji immediately jumped up and rushed towards Chang Xian. Wu Ji guessed that something big would happen today, so he wanted to show off in front of Li Xian. He had not had much contact with Li Xian before, so he took the initiative to deepen Li Xian's impression of him.
Chang Xian saw Wu Ji coming towards him and hurriedly ducked to avoid Chang Xian's attack. Wu Ji raised his palm in the air, often raising his palm to greet him. Hearing a snap, Chang Xian's figure swayed twice, and Wu Ji was also knocked to the ground. As soon as Wu Ji's feet touched the ground, he quickly stepped forward and attacked Chang Xian with his palm. Chang Xian dodged and the two of them hit each other.
Feiyun was about to take action, but Tianxiang could no longer hold back because she had just heard what Shangguan Jian said about Prince Liang and knew that Wu Sansi was also in the palace. Tianxiang immediately jumped forward and pounced on Shangguan Jian. Chang Haitang flew over and blocked the way.
Tianxiang snorted coldly, pulled out the Feifeng Sword, and struck it in the head. Chang Haitang raised his sword to greet him. The two swords collided, making a clanging sound. Chang Haitang was shocked and took two steps back, but Tianxiang remained motionless. It was obvious that Tianxiang's martial arts was far superior to Chang Haitang's.
Feiyun knew at a glance that Wu Ji and Chang Xian were equally skilled in martial arts, so he was not worried about Wu Ji being in any danger. Seeing that Tianxiang's opponent was Chang Haitang, after all, he had never seen Chang Haitang's moves, he hurriedly shouted: "Sister, this woman is a master of the Sihai Escort Agency, so you should not underestimate her." Tianxiang replied: "Don't worry, I understand! "As soon as Tianxiang finished speaking, he waved his sword and attacked again.
Chang Haitang knew that the opponent's skills were not weak, so he did not dare to fight head-on. He swayed to the side and raised his sword to slash. The two of them went back and forth, entangled together. When Duan Qing saw that everyone had taken action, he was not willing to lag behind. He immediately pulled out his sword, came to Shangguan Jian, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" Shangguan Jian did not answer, but raised his sword to chop. Duan Qing swung his sword to block, and at the same time struck hard with his left palm, and the two started fighting.
Zhang Jianzhi saw the six people fighting each other, and it was difficult to tell the difference for a while. He was anxious and said to Li Xian: "Your Highness, the current situation is urgent. We must enter the palace as soon as possible without losing time." Li Xian was also worried about this. Wu Zetian's safety was in danger, but he was also worried that Feiyun would violate the rules of the world and would not win with more, so he said to Feiyun: "Young Master Lin, what do you think we should do?"
Feiyun had naturally heard what Zhang Jianzhi meant, which was to get rid of these people blocking the way as soon as possible. Feiyun knew that the matter was of great importance and did not care much, so he said: "Everyone, today is not a competition of martial arts, but someone with evil intentions. Brother Ma Xiang, go and help brother Duan to deal with Chang Xian. Third sister, go and Help Tianxiang capture Chang Haitang as soon as possible. Second sister, you and others will protect His Highness as he moves forward." Everyone agreed.
Ma Xiang agreed, jumped up and rushed towards Chang Xian. Meimei pulled out the Qingshuang Sword and stabbed Chang Haitang. Feiyun jumped up, drew out his folding fan, and stabbed Shangguan Sword fiercely. Chang Xianzheng and Wu Ji were fighting inextricably. Seeing Ma Xiang attacking from the side, he was frightened and hurriedly retreated.
Seeing this, Wu Ji took advantage of the situation and attacked with Ma Xiang from both sides. Chang Xian's martial arts skills are mediocre, at most he can be on par with Wu Ji. Ma Xiang's martial arts is not weak, and he can always win in a single fight. Ma Xiang and Wu Jiyi joined forces, and Chang Xian was no match at all. After a few moves, Chang Xian only had the strength to parry.
Chang Haitang had a hard time dealing with Tian Xiang here. Whether it was internal strength or swordsmanship, Tian Xiang was far superior to Chang Haitang. As soon as the beautiful scenery arrived, the Qingshuang sword struck straight at it. Chang Haitang just happened to swing Tianxiang's sword away with all his strength, and hurriedly returned the sword to meet him.
Chang Haitang had never played against Mei Mei before. Seeing that she was young, he did not pay attention to Mei Mei and therefore did not have enough skills. Chang Haitang did not expect that at this time the beauty's skill was not much worse than Tianxiang's. Even if fighting alone, Chang Haitang would at best be tied with the beautiful scenery.
It was too late, but soon, the two swords collided with each other. Then Chang Haitang felt a pain in his arm, and when he moved his hand lightly, he heard a clanging sound. Chang Haitang took a closer look and saw that his sword had already been cut into two pieces by the beautiful Qingshuang Sword.
Chang Haitang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that in Meijing's hand was a sword as sharp as iron. But in front of the two masters Tianxiang and Meimei, how could she be allowed to be distracted. When Tianxiang saw the beautiful scenery and succeeded, she immediately used her full strength and stabbed straight at him with the sword.
Chang Haitang suddenly felt a sharp sword energy approaching. Then he came to his senses and tried to dodge, but he was unable to do so. Tianxiang's move was so fast and fierce that it was about to hit Chang Haitang's slender waist. Chang Haitang had no choice but to stretch out his left arm to catch him.
If Tianxiang's sword stabbed him in the waist, Chang Haitang would be seriously injured even if he didn't die. With no choice but to use one arm to save her life, she had to use the courage of a strong man to cut off his wrist. There was just a click, and the Tianxiang sword had pierced Chang Haitang's arm. With a flick of Tianxiang's wrist, Chang Haitang's left arm was cut off by Tianxiang's sword. Chang Haitang screamed and jumped back up.
But Chang Haitang forgot that there was a beautiful scenery next to it! After Mei Mei cut off Chang Haitang's sword with one strike, he immediately struck with his palm. At this time, Chang Haitang was busy dealing with Tianxiang, so he didn't notice that the beautiful scenery had been taken with his left palm. In addition, Chang Haitang's left arm was broken, and the severe pain greatly reduced her skills and made her retreat slow. Meijing slapped Chang Haitang directly on the chest.
Meili's palm has gathered ten of her power. Even if Chang Haitang is not injured and greets her with all her strength, she may not be able to receive Hong Meili's palm, not to mention that she is already seriously injured at this moment. Chang Haitang let out another scream and was knocked backwards several feet before falling heavily to the ground.
Tianxiang jumped up and followed closely. With a swing of his sword, he directly penetrated Chang Haitang's chest. Chang Haitang shouted and died immediately!
Shangguan Jian was usually lustful, and his body had long been hollowed out. Under Duan Qing's fierce offensive, he could only barely hold on.
