The fragrance filled his orifices with smoke, and his face turned red. He roared angrily: "Shameless man, watch your sword!" As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward and slashed Li Gui with his sword. When Ma Xiang saw Qingxiang taking action, he also stepped forward with his sword. Li Gui had heard about Qingxiang from Qin Huai and knew that her martial arts was not weak, so he did not dare to be careless and hurriedly raised his sword to meet her. Pei Shouyi and Qin Huai also met Ma Xiang, and the five of them immediately fought together. Although Li Gui is smooth-tongued and looks like a playboy, his skill is not weak, slightly better than Qingxiang. Within a few moves, Qingxiang knew that she was no match.
Seeing her enemy right in front of her, Qingxiang couldn't let go of such an opportunity. Even though she knew she was defeated, Qingxiang still refused to give up. With Li Gui's martial arts, it is not difficult to defeat Qingxiang. But when he saw Qingxiang's beautiful face and graceful figure, he had already imagined it. Naturally, he was reluctant to hurt Qingxiang and wanted to capture her alive. Although Qingxiang's martial arts is not as good as Li Gui's, there is not much difference in their skills, so naturally they will not let him succeed easily. As a result, it was naturally difficult to tell the difference between the two. At this moment, Feiyun and others arrived!
After hearing this, Feiyun said harshly: "If I had known this, I should have chased after him and killed this shameless man with one strike to vent his anger for you."
Qingxiang felt warm in her heart when she saw Feiyun was angry for herself, and in turn advised: "Brother Lin, you don't need to be angry. He is just smooth-tongued, so he should be merciful. Otherwise, with my skills, I may not be able to hold on until you guys catch up." Come on. Besides, you've already injured him, so you're taking it out on my behalf!" Feiyun knew that she was getting revenge for a big revenge, and he didn't want to ruin her good mood because of something like this.
Feiyun then asked: "Are we going to go back to the palace now or to the trading company?" Qingxiang thought for a while and said: "I want to go back to the trading company first and tell Brother Lin Feng about this as soon as possible to make him happy. At the same time, We need to discuss with him whether he should continue to stay in the capital or return to his hometown!" Feiyun nodded, thinking that this was the right thing. Now that their great revenge has been avenged, they really have to consider whether to stay or go, and they can't make the decision for them.
Qingxiang then told Ma Xiang what she meant, and Ma Xiang persuaded Qingxiang to return to Huashan with him. Qingxiang hesitated for a moment, then said she wanted to discuss it with Lin Feng and Xiang'er. Not long after, a group of people arrived at Xiangxi Trading Company.
Shopkeeper Peng hurriedly invited them into the backyard, and everyone sat down in the hall. Qingxiang told Lin Feng about her attack on Wu Qisi. Lin Feng was overjoyed, and then complained: "Sister Qing, why didn't you call me for such a thing?"
Qingxiang said apologetically: "Brother, it really happened suddenly. I'm afraid of wasting time and letting this evil thief escape. You and I are not outsiders. You kill me and you kill me. Anyway, we are avenging our relatives, and we are still here." It’s not the same.”
Lin Feng has always loved and obeyed Qingxiang, so Aunt Ma betrothed Qingxiang to him. Everything is done according to Qingxiang's opinion and will never go against her will. Now that the matter was over, Lin Feng said nothing more.
Qingxiang continued: "Brother, we came to the capital just for revenge. Now that the great revenge has been avenged, we have to think about whether to stay in the capital or return to our hometown. My brother wants us to go to Huashan with him again. I don't know what you have. idea?"
In fact, Lin Feng has always been grateful to Qingxiang. After all, it was Qingxiang and Aunt Ma who saved his life. Lin Feng felt that he had not protected Aunt Ma well, and he felt guilty all the time. He immediately said that although Wu Qisi was dead, Princess Changping was also one of the murderers. He doesn't want to leave the capital for the time being, and will wait until the right opportunity to kill Princess Changping to avenge Aunt Ma.
After listening to Lin Feng's words, Qingxiang also felt that it made sense. She thought that Princess Changping and Princess Yanmei were good sisters, and Princess Yanmei was Liu Shui's fiancée. It would be difficult to explain the relationship between Feiyun and Princess Changping for a while. Qingxiang couldn't help but look at Feiyun and asked his opinion.
Feiyun hesitated for a moment. Although he did not want to be an enemy of Princess Changping, after all, Princess Changping was very loyal to Wu Zetian. But facing Qingxiang and Ma Xiang, Princess Changping is indeed their enemy. Feiyun had no choice but to say that this was a private matter between Qingxiang and Princess Changping, and he had no choice but to not help each other. Feiyun just asked them not to enter the palace and cause trouble for Princess Changping, so as not to affect Wu Zetian's safety.
Qingxiang, Ma Xiang, Lin Feng and Xiang'er originally thought that Feiyun would definitely oppose seeking revenge, but now they see Feiyun expressing neutrality. The four people immediately promised not to enter the palace to assassinate Princess Changping, nor to involve others. They would only look for opportunities to deal with Princess Changping outside the palace.
After everyone talked for a while, Feiyun, Tianxiang, Liangchen and Meimei said their goodbyes and left, while Ma Xiang and others stayed in the trading house. Soon Feiyun and others returned to Luling Palace and went directly to the main hall to meet Li Xian and the princess.
When Li Xian saw that it was Feiyun and the others, he hurriedly asked them to sit down and asked, "Young Master Lin, how is the situation?"
Before Feiyun could say anything, Liangchen said first: "Your Majesty, Wu Qisi has been killed by Sister Qingxiang!" Then he briefly told the story.
Li Xian frowned and said: "Wu Qisi has lost the emperor's trust, and it doesn't matter if he dies. It's just that he just left a Phoenix Hall, why did a Dragon Gate appear again? Young Master Lin, what's going on with this Dragon Gate?"
Feiyun immediately replied: "My lord, don't worry. The power of this dragon gate is greatly damaged now, and it is estimated that it will not be able to cause trouble in the near future. I will find a way to force their power out of the capital. If they continue to do evil, I will invite fellow Jianghu people to give them some help." They attack." Feiyun then told Li Xian about the situation in Longmen.
Li Xian nodded and said: "Young Master Lin, I know you don't want to serve in the imperial court. You might as well travel more in the world. I am the golden emissary appointed by the emperor. I can kill first and then tell you. The soft sword of the good time is like the wind, and the beautiful scenery is the green frost." The sword is the Shangfang sword given to you by the emperor! It is specially designed to deal with corrupt officials and bullies! Regarding this, the emperor has already told the world. When the emperor returns to the palace, I will ask her to issue an order to appoint Miss Tianxiang as the deputy of the gold medal. I will do my best to assist you. Therefore, you can take care of matters in the world."
Feiyun was naturally grateful when he saw that Li Xian trusted and valued him so much. He has no interest in being an official, but with this status and walking around the world, he can justifiably get rid of corrupt officials and scum.
Li Xian then said to everyone: "Wu Ji and Yanmei have done a great job this time. Should we pay a betrothal gift to Wu Qiong's family for Liu Shaoxia?"
Princess Wei smiled and said: "It should be so. However, don't worry about this matter, I will arrange it properly!" Princess Wei immediately said that it was up to her to make the decision, and Li Xian didn't need to worry about it.
Li Xian nodded, and then said to Duan Qing: "Duan Shaoxia, I want you to go to Xiangxi to deliver the decree on my behalf. I have already asked the emperor for instructions, and she agreed to formally designate Peng Hongjun's father as the King of Tu, and Peng Hongjun as the Princess of Xiangxi. If you If you don’t mind, you can get married on the spot and then return to Xiangxi to read out the imperial edict.”
Duan Qing hurriedly replied: "I have reported to the emperor that the ministers will abide by the decree regarding the canonization. As for the marriage, the ministers need to go back to Nanzhao with Jade Girl first and report to their parents."
Li Xian nodded and said: "It is human nature that you really need to report your marriage to your parents. There is no need to worry about the capital at the moment, so I will give you some more time to go home and visit your relatives."
After Duan Qing heard this, he knelt down and said, "I have something wrong that I didn't tell the truth to the emperor. Please punish me."
Li Xian smiled slightly and said: "I just said that there is no need to pay such a courtesy. If you have anything, you might as well speak up."
Duan Qing was overjoyed and said: "Reporting to the emperor, Wei Chen is the son of the minister of Nanzhao. This time he went to the Central Plains on the order of King Nanzhao. Firstly, he went on a study tour to increase his knowledge. Secondly, he hoped to establish harmonious relations with the Great Zhou Dynasty." Zhao Yuankan and everyone were shocked when they heard this.
Li Xian did not expect that Duan Qing was actually a native of Nanzhao, and immediately said: "The emperor has long been interested in contacting Nanzhao. When she returns to the palace, I will take you into the palace immediately. Your identity cannot be made public. The emperor intends to contact Nanzhao. Live in harmony. After meeting the emperor, you can convey the emperor's goodwill to King Nanzhao. If you have no objection, you can serve as the deputy chief of guard in the Luling Palace. Of course, you can also live in the capital as an envoy of Nanzhao. "
Duan Qing was overjoyed when he saw that Li Xian was not blaming him, and replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry. When I go back, I will persuade King Nanzhao to have a good relationship with the Central Plains for generations. I am also willing to accompany the prince and serve him wholeheartedly." Li Xian He nodded and asked Duan Qing to get up and speak. Duan Qing thanked him and stood up.
At this time, I heard Jade Girl Hongjun snort coldly and said: "Duan Qing, you concealed such a big thing and didn't tell me and my father! What's your intention?"
Duan Qing was stunned and hurriedly said to Hongjun: "Sister Hongjun, I didn't reveal my true identity before, and I had to do it as a last resort. I don't want to cause trouble, so please forgive me."
Hongjun's face darkened, he suddenly stood up, turned around and ran out of the hall. When Duan Qing saw Hongjun coming out in anger, he was at a loss and stood there stupidly.
Liangchen pursed his lips and smiled, and said softly: "Brother Duan, why don't you go after me and apologize to Princess Jade? Don't miss such a good lady!" Liangchen's words woke up the dreamer, and Duan Qing returned. He came to his senses and ran out in a hurry.
Li Xian asked the princess worriedly: "They won't part ways because of this, right?"
The princess smiled slightly and said: "No. Yunu has been by my side recently, and I know her fairly well. She is not the kind of unreasonable person, she is just angry for a moment. As long as Duan Qingcheng admits her mistake, Yunu will not You really care about him."
Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief. After he learned Duan Qing's identity, he was thinking of making good use of this relationship to strengthen communication with Nanzhao. In this way, the southwestern frontier would be safe, and he would be able to look good in front of Wu Zetian.
At this time, Lian'er said to everyone: "Your Majesty, the injured have all recovered. I have been away from home for so long, and I really miss my parents. Brother Lin, you also know that my parents are unwilling to leave their hometown. They are used to it. life. I want to go back, what do you think?"
Lian'er thought of her parents because she heard that Duan Qing could go home. After she followed Feiyun and left her hometown, she never went back, so it was inevitable that she would miss her a little.
