After Li Dan got the news, he hurried over. At this time, Yanmei and Feiyun were walking in front side by side. When Yanmei saw it was Li Dan, she hurriedly whispered to Feiyun: "The Prime Minister is the younger brother of the King of Luling. Although he has no intention of competing for the crown prince position, we still have to do more. Be careful, lest he cause trouble.”
Feiyun also knew who Li Dan was, so he nodded. He told Liangchen and Tianxiang this meaning and asked them not to act rashly.
When the two groups of people approached, Yanmei stepped forward and said to Zhao Yuanyou, the King of Chu on the carriage: "Xiang Wangdian, I have a secret and important matter to tell you. Please get out of the car and meet me."
Li Xian recognized the voice of Princess Yanmei, and without doubting his presence, he replied: "It turns out to be Princess Yanmei. Please wait a moment, I'll come down right away!"
Yanmei, Li Xian and Li Dan are all cousins, so they are naturally familiar with each other. Li Dan also knew the power of the Yanmei family, and heard that they remained neutral and did not help each other in the fight between Wu Sansi and his younger brother for the position of prince. The engagement between Yanmei and Liu Shui was kept secret by both families, and no outsiders knew about it.
Li Dan got off the carriage, came to Yanmei, and asked: "Sister Yanmei, what is the emperor's will?"
Yanmei told Li Dan that Wu Zetian was not in the palace and asked him to return home quickly. Then Yanmei sent guards to escort Li Dan back to his house.
Li Dan didn't believe Yanmei, so he said: "Yanmei, do you have the emperor's edict? If you don't, you are falsely passing on the imperial edict! I am here to see the emperor, you have no right to ask!"
Yanmei didn't want to cause more trouble, so she lied that it was Wu Zetian's intention. She knew that with Feiyun and others present, these guards of Li Dan were no match at all. But Yanmei didn't want another fight to occur and cause casualties. After all, these guards were not disciples of the Iron Fist Gang. Seeing that Li Dan didn't believe her, Yanmei hurriedly winked at Feiyun.
Feiyun also knew that it was difficult to explain clearly at this time, so he immediately took out the imperial gold medal, raised it high, and shouted: "My name is Lin Feiyun, this is the imperial gold medal, don't you believe it?"
Then Feiyun showed the gold medal in front of Li Dan and stared at Li Dan coldly. Li Dan was Wu Zetian's fourth son. Naturally, he had seen the gold medal given by the emperor and also knew that Wu Zetian had given the gold medal to Feiyun. He knew that it was impossible to fake it, so he hurriedly retreated.
Yanmei quickly asked Chanjuan and Pingting to help Li Dan onto the carriage, turned the carriage around, and left the palace surrounded by everyone. Li Dan's guards could only watch helplessly, and no one stepped forward to stop him. Of course, even if they try to stop them, they are no match for Feiyun and others. Li Dan's guards had no choice but to turn around and follow Li Dan's carriage away.
Soon everyone left the palace, and Yanmei said: "Brother Lin, you go back and protect Princess Luling first. I will send Prince Luling and the two ministers to the court first. I believe there are many ministers gathered in the court at this moment. We need Prince Luling to explain and comfort us. Brother Lin, what do you think?"
Feiyun said with concern: "Princess, if you have an injury on your back, don't go back and forth. You can go back and recuperate in peace. I will escort the prince all the way." Yanmei shook her head and said: "This small injury is not a problem. Yes. Besides, although you have a gold medal bestowed by the emperor, you do not have a formal official position, so it is really inconvenient for you to appear in the court."
Feiyun saw that Yanmei had made up her mind and knew that persuasion was useless, so she asked Liu Shui, Ma Xiang, Duan Qing and Lin Feng to go with Yanmei. Liu Shui and others nodded in agreement, and everyone broke up immediately. Yanmei led the crowd and walked toward the Jinluan Hall surrounded by Li Xian. Feiyun, Tianxiang and others took the remaining people and returned directly to the Luling Palace.
Feiyun and others returned to the palace, only to find that no one was guarding the door. Feiyun was shocked and knew something must have happened. They hurriedly walked in and saw the guards treating the injured and collecting the dead in the courtyard. Apparently a fierce battle had just occurred here, and many guards were killed or injured. Feiyun was shocked and hurriedly asked a guard where the princess was. The guard told Feiyun that the princess was fine and was in the hall.
Feiyun and others hurried in and saw Princess Wei sitting in the hall. Sitting on both sides were Ximen Shan, Luo Chuan, Feiying, Feixiang, and Tianying. The five of them also had a lot of blood stains on their bodies.
Feiyun saw that Princess Wei was fine and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to her. Seeing that it was Feiyun, Princess Wei hurriedly asked: "Young Master Lin, how is the situation in the palace? How are the emperor and the prince?"
Feiyun immediately told the princess what happened in the palace, and said that the prince had something to deal with and could not come back for the time being. Princess Wei breathed a sigh of relief and her face calmed down a little.
Feiyun then asked: "Grandpa, Princess, what happened in the palace? Did someone take the opportunity to attack?"
Ximen Shan glanced at Luo Chuan, who sighed and said, "Not long after you left, a group of people suddenly broke in and started killing. Fortunately, everyone fought hard and fought back the thieves. It's just that young hero Peng Chang was killed, not The young guard lost his life." Then Luo Chuan briefly told the story.
It turned out that after Feiyun and others left, at night, Ximenshan discussed with Luo Chuan, Feiying, Feixiang, and Tianying, and divided the people in the mansion into two teams to take turns guarding. At the third watch, it's Feixiang's turn to watch the night. Feixiang was walking around the courtyard when he suddenly heard a sound coming from outside the wall. She immediately went to the roof and found a group of figures approaching from all sides.
This group of people is Li Gui, Pei Shouyi, and their subordinates. After Li Gui failed to rob and kill Li Xian in the name of Li Fu, he did not go away, but hid in the Iron Spear Sect, waiting for an opportunity. He kept asking for information through the Iron Spear and Bronze Mace factions.
The Iron Spear Faction and the Tongmai Faction were invited to participate in the siege of Fengtang, and they only participated after getting his permission. Of course, his purpose is to let the two factions act as undercover agents. In the end, Fengtang evacuated safely without much loss, and Li Gui was naturally satisfied.
There have been recent changes in the court, and Li Zhengui has long been aware of it. He has secretly sent people to monitor Li Xian's every word and deed. Li Xian left the palace and rushed to the palace with many experts, which made Li Gui think that the opportunity had come.
Li Zhen knew that there must be a fierce battle in the palace in order to fight for power. Li Gui didn't care who won or lost. For Li Gui, both Li and Wu families deserved death, and his purpose was to eradicate these people one by one. Li Gui planned to capture Li Xian's family alive in order to blackmail Li Xian into obeying.
When night fell, Li Gui took Pei Shouyi, Pei Dashan, Pei Fu, Pei Yanran, his younger brother Li Zhen and the Longmen disciples straight to the Luling Palace, thinking of Li Xian's hometown. But they didn't expect that they would be discovered by Feixiang as soon as they arrived at the Luling Palace.
Feixiang hurriedly told Luo Chuan, Ximen Shan and others to discuss the matter, and Luo Chuan asked Feixiang to protect her personally in the princess's bedroom and asked Ximen Shan to guard the door. Luo Chuan guessed that these people must be coming for Princess Wei, so he told Ximen Shan and Feixiang not to leave under any circumstances.
Luo Chuan, Fei Ying, and Tian Ying stayed in the courtyard and asked the guards to ambush separately. He asked Lian'er to move to the princess's room and protect the princess with Feixiang. Everyone naturally obeyed and went to their places according to Luo Chuan's arrangement. At this moment, Peng Chang, who had not recovered from his injury, also ran out to help.
As soon as everyone hid, several figures crossed the wall and landed in the courtyard. Under the moonlight, I saw that they were all dressed in black and their faces were covered with black cloth.
The first five people to come in were Pei Shouyi, Li Gui and others. They were naturally a little surprised when they saw no one patrolling the courtyard. Li Gui made a frog cry for a while. As soon as the frog sound stopped, ten more people came in from outside. These ten people are Pei Dashan's escorts from the Lingnan Escort Agency, and they all recently arrived in the capital.
Pei Shouyi and Li Gui discussed it, then they moved five people in front and ten people behind, and tiptoed towards the house at the back.
Li Gui led a few people in front and approached the hiding place of Tianying. Tianying suddenly jumped out and struck an escort with his sword. Tianying has deep internal strength, and he uses all his skills to draw the sword with swiftness and fierceness. When the bodyguard noticed it, he tried to dodge, but was unable to do so, so he had to wave his sword to meet him.
Only a clanking sound was heard, and the bodyguard's sword was knocked to the ground. The man didn't expect to meet such a powerful master and couldn't help but be stunned. Tianying's sword kept moving and hit the man's shoulder. The man screamed and backed away in pain. Tianying then hit him on the chest with a palm, killing the man instantly. Tianying believed that if he killed one, he would lose one, so he acted without mercy.
The incident happened suddenly, and by the time Li Gui noticed it and tried to save him, it was already too late. Li Gui was shocked, knowing that his whereabouts had been discovered by the other party. Li Gui immediately swung his sword and struck at the eagle. Tian Ying raised his sword to meet him, and the two fought fiercely. Luo Chuan, Peng Chang and others saw that Tianying had taken action and hurriedly followed.
The flying eagle jumped up and stabbed a nearby bodyguard with his sword. The man felt a sharp sword energy approaching and tried to dodge, but he was unable to do so. He was stabbed by the sword and fell to the ground dead. Pei Shouyi was so angry when he saw this. They came to attack others, but they were attacked by others instead. In the blink of an eye, he lost two people.
Pei Shouyi was furious and swung his sword straight towards Luo Chuan. Seeing the ferocity of his attack, he knew that the opponent's martial arts was not weak, so he did not dare to fight hard and hurriedly stepped aside.
Pei Shouyi chased after him and wanted to kill Luo Chuan with a knife. Luo Chuan is Ximen Shan's proud disciple. Although his light kung fu and martial arts are not as good as Pei Shouyi's, he is not average either. Luo Chuan relied on Qinggong to dodge Pei Shouyi's fierce moves one after another.
Seeing that Luo Chuan was no match, Peng Chang hurriedly attacked Pei Shouyi from the side with his sword. Li Pei Shouyi had no choice but to deal with it with his sword, and then used his palm to force Peng Chang back. Luo Chuan took the opportunity to turn around and stabbed with his sword. Pei Shouyi is one of the top five masters in the world, and his martial arts skills are naturally far superior to Luo Chuan and Peng Chang, but these two are not ordinary people, and they work together tacitly. For a moment, Pei Shouyi was unable to do anything to them.
Seeing that both Li Gui and Pei Shouyi were blocked by others, Pei Fu accidentally discovered the princess's room. Because he saw a man standing at a doorway holding a sword. No matter how fierce the fighting was in the courtyard, he did not move at all. When Pei Fu saw this, he immediately jumped up and ran straight to the house.
Several guards nearby saw it and hurriedly came to stop him. But their martial arts are far different from Pei Fu. Pei Fu waved his sword and the guards fell to the ground one after another. A few more guards knew they were no match, but still risked their lives to intercept him. Pei Fu didn't expect these people to be so brave and fearless of death, and knew that they must be Li Xian's princess and children. He, Pei Fu, was overjoyed and immediately started ruthlessly, hacking all the guards to death quickly.
