Li Xian said: "Princess Wu, this matter was all caused by you. If you hadn't fallen in love with girl Qingxiang, you would have asked for a marriage even though you knew she already had a marriage contract. With such overbearing, Lin Feng and Qingxiang would naturally resist. You He also took the initiative to kill his junior sister. Ma Xiang cut off Yuci's crutch in order to save her life. It is understandable. You didn't tell the story clearly, and you only cut off Yuci's crutch as an excuse. Killing them all led to this result. Do you regret it?"
Li Xian was away at the time. After getting the news, when he heard about the incident, the matter was over. After Li Xian met Yanmei, he knew all the details.
Princess Wu said: "No matter who he is or what the reason is, cutting off the imperial crutch is a capital crime. Please give your Majesty a clear warning." Wu Zetian asked: "What should I do in your opinion?" Princess Wu said: "The wanted criminals will be searched throughout the city. ." Li Xian said: "Absolutely not, doing so will only be counterproductive." Wu Zetian thought for a moment and said, "Just search the whole city."
After listening to Li Xian's words, Wu Zetian understood the cause and effect. Because of Princess Wu's selfishness, she caused so many casualties and even created a powerful enemy out of thin air. Wu Zetian was naturally dissatisfied, but after all, Princess Wu was her mother's family, and it was inconvenient to blame her, so she had to discount Princess Wu's request.
Seeing that Wu Zetian had decided, Princess Wu had no choice but to carry her son's body home. She wanted to find a good wife, but ended up killing one of her sons. She gritted her teeth thinking of Ma Xiang and Qingxiang.
Besides, Feiyun and the others rescued Ma Xiang and the others and returned to the hospital. Feiyun quickly asked Ma Xiang what was going on. Ma Xiang didn't hide anything and told the Niu family in detail. Bai Xue quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Feiyun, asking him to rescue his mother.
Luye's murder plunged Ma Xiang into deep grief, and he could not recover for a while. Seeing him like this, Bai Xue felt sad inside.
Qingxiang said to Ma Xiang: "Brother, hold back your sadness first, we still have a lot of things to do." Ma Xiang said: "What the sister said is that we must avenge them first." Qingxiang asked: "You know it is Who killed them?" Ma Chuxiang said: "The person who did it directly has been killed by me, but the person who shot the arrow secretly is the main culprit." Bai Xue asked quickly: "Brother Ma, did you see the arrow shot? Is there anyone?"
Liangchen continued: "We didn't see the person who shot the arrow, but I brought out the arrow that hit Miss Luye." After that, she took out the arrow and saw that there was a stone character engraved on it. Everyone didn't understand what it meant. Wang De came over and said, "This should be Chang Xian's arrow."
Seeing everyone's confusion, Wang De said: "Chang Xian is the deputy commander of the guards under Princess Changping. I heard that everyone in his family has their own surname engraved on their arrows. Chang Xian should be referring to him. He is the only one in the capital with the surname Chang."
Wang De told everyone that after hearing that Wu Ji captured Chang Qing, Wu Sansi and Princess Changping went to Wu Ji and asked him to let Chang Qing go. When Wu Ji saw the princess coming forward, he had no choice but to let Chang Qing go. Later, Chang Qing asked his son to join Princess Changping and become the deputy commander of the palace.
Ma Xiang came to his senses at this time and hurriedly said to Wu Mei and Wang De: "It's not you who took action this time. We don't know if we can break out of the siege. Why are you here?" Wang De said: "My lady. I went to burn incense outside the city and saw you fighting. We saw that it was the Wu family who was bullying others, so we stepped forward to help you. But with the strength of Mr. Ma and the girls, plus Brother Lin and others, we will not take action, and neither will you. You can rush out. We didn’t do much, so you’re welcome.”
Feiyun said: "I believe that Miss Charming will not help us for no reason. If there is anything we need to do, please tell us directly. As long as it is not something harmful to nature, I will definitely do it." Wang De hesitated, but Charming said: "Since Young Master Lin is so frank, we don't have to hide our identities. This is the situation." She informed Feiyun and the others one by one.
After Feiyun heard this, he realized that Charming's enemies were the Wu family. He sighed and said: "It turns out that the girl is a descendant of the Li Tang royal family. We are disrespectful." Charming said: "What kind of identity does a person who has subjugated his country have? It is not easy to survive." Feiyun said: "You guys You originally wanted me to help you, but now you have saved us first. Needless to say, you need to take revenge. We will do our best. Tianxiang, what do you think?" Tianxiang said: "I have no objection."
Feiyun told Bai Xue that he would find out where his mother lived as soon as possible. But since Niu Ba has committed the crime of treason, he cannot interfere. Bai Xue hurriedly thanked Feiyun, saying that as long as she rescued her mother, it would be fine.
Bai Xue said to Feiyun: "Then I will disturb you here for a few more days." Feiyun said quickly: "What are you talking about? We are one family now, don't talk about two families anymore. You can always live here, no Someone will bother you."
Liangchen said: "Then let's do this for now. If we have any news, we will tell the girl as soon as possible." Bai Xue nodded and left with Ma Xiang and the others.
Ma Xiang, Bai Xue, Wu Mei and Wang De buried Lu Ye and Ru Wu on a hill behind and made a note of them for future relocation. After fighting for a day, everyone was exhausted, so they all rested one after another. Feiyun, Tianxiang, and Meimei took turns monitoring what was going on outside. In the evening, Wang De and the others came over and brought food. Wang De told Feiyun that martial law has been imposed outside and the city gate is closed. Bai Xue is wanted by the portrait, but Ma Xiang and Qingxiang are not wanted.
After hearing this, Wenxiang said to Liangchen: "Liangchen, what do you think we should do now?" Liangchen said: "Since my aunt and the others are not wanted, it will be easy to handle. When it gets dark, we will go back to Zhou's house in batches. Then After all, Bian is a familiar place. Besides, this place can be kept for future emergencies." Ma Chu said to Meng De, "Just let us know if you have any arrangements here." Meng De said, "That's natural."
Liangchen said: "Please also ask Master Meng to inquire about the situation of Shi Shouxin's family. Let's rescue the royal family first, and then settle accounts with them one by one." Ma Chu said: "After rescuing my wife, we will first get rid of Shi Shouxin to avenge Meijing and the others. Then get rid of Murong, and then enter the palace to kill Zhao Kuangyin." Wenxiang said: "It is better to rest first and then plan the steps. There is no need to rush." Liangchen said: "Sister Wenxiang is right, the specific details will be discussed in two days. "When night fell, Ma Chu and the others returned to Zhou's house in batches, evading the patrolling officers and soldiers. Chuntao then settled everyone down separately, and there was no conversation that night.
Early the next morning, Hongying called everyone together. Hongying said: "Yesterday's battle also let us know our own strength, and we also saw that the opponent has many masters. I think this period will be mainly about practicing, at least to be able to reach or exceed the skills of the girls around them. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to do what you have to do." Liangchen said: "Auntie is right, it's just that we have to work hard for senior brother." Hongying said: "Chu'er has taken turns to practice with everyone these days, at least two people a day . Chuntao and the others are also here to practice together." Ma Chu looked at Chuntao and others and said, "Auntie, have you made it clear to them? They can only volunteer." Hongying said, "Of course, Chuntao, what do you think? Chuntao's face suddenly turned red and she said softly: "Yes." Ma Chu was speechless.
So during this period of time, everyone was recuperating and practicing their internal strength together.
After more than ten days, everyone has basically recovered as before. During this time, no one went out, and Ma Chu took turns practicing magic skills with the girls day and night. Ma Chu's skill has now reached the ninth level. The power of a sword can reach a distance of ten feet, and the power of a palm can reach a distance of five feet. Hongying's Songtao Internal Skill is also close to the tenth level, and Wenxiang's slightly weaker skill is close to the ninth level. Liangchen's Wuji Internal Skill has also reached the sixth level, which is similar to Dongxue. The four Chuntao people did not improve much due to their short training time.
During this period of time, the four Ma and Chu people had not gone out. It was Hongying who was out looking for information. With Meng De and the others' information, they already knew that the officers and soldiers suffered heavy losses in the last battle with the Li Mansion. Therefore, the search was conducted intensively for several days, but the search was relaxed after no results were obtained. Mengde was not sure when they were going to rescue people. Hongying wanted to start taking some action, so she called Ma Chu and others to discuss it together.
Liangchen said: "It is better to get rid of Shi Shouxin first to avenge the beautiful scenery and autumn frost, and then go to Murong Yanzhao." Hongying said: "That's what I mean. I have been to Shi's house, and their defenses are not tight. The attack was successful. You are more certain. Murong Yanzhao has been in the military camp during this period, so it is difficult to make a move." Wen Xiang said: "How about informing Meng De and the others first, so that both sides can act at the same time, which can distract the government's power." Liangchen said: "It's not good to disperse. It's best to act together. We don't have enough strength to split into two groups."
During the discussion, Meng De and Qunfang walked in. Liangchen said: "Cao Cao and Cao Cao have arrived." Meng De said: "Everyone happens to be here, and we want to take action tonight. I wonder what you think?" Liang Chen asked: "Why do we have to take action tonight?" Meng De said : "Zhao Kuangyin is hosting a banquet for his ministers in the palace tonight. Some experts and attention must be guarding the palace. It's time for us to take action."
Liangchen asked: "Can you tell me your specific plan?" Meng De said: "This is our plan: My sister-in-law, Mr. Ma and Miss Wenxiang and I will enter the courtyard, and you, Aunt Zhou and Hua Yunduo will lead everyone. We are supporting them outside. Hua Yunduo and the other two have pretty good kung fu, and they are familiar with dozens of people here. The defense situation there is that there is a chief guard and two palace masters with 200 people guarding the courtyard. Four maids are guarding my mother. Miss Liangchen, if you think there is anything wrong, just tell her." The Meng De brothers and sisters had known that Liangchen was smart and clever, so they were extremely polite to Liangchen.
Liangchen thought for a while and said: "I think it's generally OK, but I just want to make a slight modification: the four of you may be too weak to go in. After all, you want to rescue someone from inside. Dongxue and I will go in with you. When the time comes, The four of you go down to rescue people, and we will respond to you on the roof. Outside the courtyard, Miss Qunfang's maid Yun Duohua and two of your people will come to respond to you. My aunt, along with Chuntao and four others, are waiting for response at the key route of our retreat. You see Woolen cloth?"
