Princess Changping said: "What the princess is saying is, Your Majesty, it's enough of a headache now. If there are a few more, wouldn't it be even more troublesome for us?" Wu Zetian said quickly: "Then I will listen to you."
The princess asked Yanmei again: "The masked women who came that day were extremely powerful in martial arts and not inferior to me. The sword skills are very similar to that of the woman today. Do you know this person?"
Yanmei shook her head and said: "I have never seen this person. He may be someone from Fengtang or Longmen. I know that Fengtang is full of women and there are many masters in it." The princess pondered for a moment and said: "If it is Fengtang If Ma Xiang, Bai Xue and the people from Fengtang get together, Feiyun and the others may also have connections with Fengtang."
Wu Zetian was not worried that Feiyun would collude with the people in Fengtang. She had dealt with Huang Yuxian and others. She still has great confidence in Feiyun and will not get involved with the people in Fengtang. Wu Zetian knew that Huang Yuxian's target was herself, and Feiyun was helping her.
Yanmei also knew that Fengtang hated Wu Zetian deeply and hated all the Wu family members. Feiyun was very kind to Wu Zetian and would dissuade Ma Xiang. But Yanmei is worried that Fengtang may deal with the emperor.
Wu Zetian couldn't help but sigh and said: "Wu Sansi went too far and killed Huang Guogong. Now he regrets it." The princess quickly said: "The matter has reached this point, and we can only stop it with soldiers, and the water will cover it up. But I don't know how they did it again. They ran to kidnap Mrs. Mo. They probably have nothing to do with the Niu Ba who is trying to rebel?"
Yanmei said, "I heard Yue Xiang from the Yamen said that Bai Xue is Mrs. Mo's daughter. Ma Xiang should have helped Bai Xue rescue her mother, so that's why she acted like this." Wu Zetian said, "Don't worry about this. I believe Mrs. Mo will come back in a few days. After all, she was the one who reported Niu Ba, and maybe Bai Xue still doesn’t know about it. I don’t have time to deal with it now, what do you think we should do next?”
The princess said: "According to what Yanmei said, it is impossible for us to reconcile with Fengtang. The army is of no use now and can only be dealt with by Jianghu methods. They have at least three super masters, Huang Yuxian, Zhou Xiaoyan, and Huang Dan , and the others can be considered top-notch masters. At present, what they want to attack is Wu Sansi’s home first, and the palace secondly. The other places should be safe.”
The princess paused for a while and then said: "Wu Sansi's family doesn't have any masters, so we should send more guards to protect us. Yanmei and I were injured, which affected the performance of our skills. I'm afraid the strength of Prince Liang is not enough to fight against Fengtang." Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can only ask my master, the Nangong family, to send someone here." Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Chang Ping is right, I have sent someone to recruit them into the palace."
This Nangong family is Nangong Zheng, known as the leader of the Central Plains Wulin, and his reputation is no less than that of Pei Shouyi back then. This man has outstanding martial arts skills and has many disciples. They have some friendship with Wu Zetian, but they are indifferent to fame and fortune and only want to be in the world. Nangong Zheng once helped Wu Zetian. When Wu Zetian saw that he refused to be an official, she gave him thousands of hectares of fertile land and exempted him from all taxes. Wu Zetian also asked him to train palace guards for the court. Princess Changping and the maids around her were all considered Nangong Zheng's apprentices.
Nangong Zheng has three sons and one daughter, all of whom are excellent in martial arts. The Nangong family has a prominent reputation and prestige in the martial arts world of the Central Plains. If they send people into the palace, they can naturally keep the palace safe.
The princess added: "The palace still needs Commander Wuwei to personally lead people to inspect and supervise, and also invite my aunt to enter the palace to protect the female family members in the palace. In this way, the Nangong family will be in the outer hall, and my aunt and the Nangong family will be in the inner hall. , it’s safe.”
Wu Zetian trusted the princess very much and followed her suggestions. The aunt the princess is talking about is named Wu Meihong, who is also Wu Zetian's niece. She has strong martial arts skills. She has never married in her life and is obsessed with practicing martial arts all day long.
The princess said to Wu Zetian again: "My child is incompetent. The Luofeng Sword given by the emperor has been snatched away." Wu Zetian didn't care and said: "As long as you are safe and sound, a mere sword is nothing. I will give you a better one. I’ll give you the Feihong Sword.” The princess thanked her quickly. This Feihong Sword is harder and sharper than the rising and falling phoenix sword, and it can be called a magic weapon.
The princess then said: "Your Majesty, I want to tell everyone that the opponent's sword is very sharp. Only the sword you gave can compete with it, so they must bring it." It turned out that Taizong's eight swords were given to Princess Meihong and Princess Changping respectively. , Princess Yanmei, Princess Ximenxue, Wu Wei, Nangong Zheng and others. Wu Zetian did not delay, and immediately sent an order to invite Nangong's family and Meihong into the palace. Seeing that the palace arrangements were in place, Yanmei said goodbye and returned to the Wu family.
Besides, the more Feiyun thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep, so he told Tianxiang that he was going to find Liu Shui and wanted him to go to Princess Yanmei to inquire about the situation. Tianxiang nodded and asked him to be more careful. Liu Shui naturally had no objection and agreed wholeheartedly. Liangchen and Meiwei wanted to go together, but Liu Shui said: "I am alone and have small goals. If something happens, I can escape easily. You should rest first and think about your future action plan." Liangchen had no choice but to agree.
Liu Shui took advantage of the night to arrive at Wuhou Mansion and saw that the security inside was not tight. Liu Shui had been here many times, so he was naturally familiar with the situation, and soon he quietly arrived at Princess Yanmei's boudoir. When I pierced the window paper, I saw Yanmei sitting in the room, with Pingting and Chanjuan standing next to her.
Liu Shui saw Yanmei frowning and seemed to be thinking a lot. She was very depressed because of her injury. She was not only worried about the princess, but also worried about Liu Shui. She hadn't seen Liu Shui for a long time, and she was too embarrassed to go to the medical clinic to find Liu Shui.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Liu Shui knocked on the door. Yanmei heard it and asked Ruchanjuan to open the door. As soon as the door opened, Liu Shui ducked into the room.
Yanmei saw it was Liu Shui and said quickly: "Brother, why are you here?" Liu Shui smiled slightly and said: "I checked, there is no outsider in the hospital. How are you doing recently? If someone bullies you, I will He must pay the price."
Yanmei asked Chanjuan and others to go outside and monitor from a distance, and come and notify when someone came. She then told Liu Shui in detail about the recent situation.
Liu Shui had actually heard Feiyun say these things a long time ago, so he quickly comforted Yanmei. Yanmei suddenly burst into tears. She walked up to Liu Shui and said, "Brother, I'm really afraid that you will be hurt. I will be very sad."
Liu Shui looked at Yanmei and burst into tears. He didn't expect that Yanmei, who was so strong in martial arts, could be so sentimental at times. Liu Shui quickly took a handkerchief to help her dry her, but Yanmei threw herself into Liu Shui's arms, crying.
Liu Shui could only hug her and comfort her softly. Liu Shui looked at Yanmei's pear-shaped face and hurriedly wiped away her tears, then sat down, but Yanmei sat on Liu Shui's lap, rubbing Liu Shui's neck with both hands. Liu Shui was not a gentleman who could sit still in his arms, so he had no choice but to wrap his arms around her slim waist.
Liu Shui said: "Don't worry, I will try my best to avoid dangerous things in the future. After all, if someone kills me, then I won't be able to see you." Yanmei said: "No, usually Martial arts figures will not kill you, nor can they beat you, I believe you." Liu Shui asked deliberately: "How do you know?"
Yanmei smiled slightly and said: "Of course I know how good your martial arts are." Liu Shui smiled and said: "You are a little girl, what do you know?" Yanmei said: "I am not young, I am almost eighteen." Liu Shui smiled. Shui said: "Look, you still want me to hold you and wipe your tears. Aren't you a little girl?"
Yanmei blushed and said, "Am I too ugly and you dislike me?" Liu Shui said, "How could it be? In my heart, you are the most beautiful girl. Whoever dares to accuse you of hatred, I will teach him a lesson." ." Yanmei's face turned redder and she didn't speak, as if she was thinking about something.
Liu Shui had a conversation with Yanmei, and then said: "Okay, I'll come back when I get down. It's time for me to go. Just be fine. I'll take you out of the capital when I finish my work. What do you think?" Yanmei said: "Let's talk about it later." Yanmei was also afraid that someone would see Liu Shui here, so she stood up.
Liu Shui touched Yanmei's pretty face and said, "I'll see you again in a few days." Yanmei said, "Don't lie to me. Don't worry. I will take care of it for you." Liu Shui smiled, turned around and came out. , flew up the eaves and left.
As Liu Shui walked, he suddenly thought, why not take the opportunity to explore the way to Prince Liang's Mansion, and talk to Feiyun and the others when he went back, they would definitely object. It is so convenient for one person to move around now. Maybe if he met Wu Sansi, he could just kill him, that would be considered. Liu Shui made up his mind and came straight to Prince Liang's Mansion.
When we arrived outside Prince Liang's Mansion, we saw a lot of people patrolling, very densely. I had no choice but to find an opportunity, use my inner strength, and leap in. He now has nine levels of internal energy, and his movements are extremely fast. Even if he flies past the guards, they can't see him clearly, they just feel like a gust of wind blowing by.
Liu Shui sneaked in covertly and soon entered the harem. Seeing the bright light inside, he found a guard's room. He ducked inside and found a fitting guard uniform to wear outside. Then he walked swaggering inside.
Liu Shui walked outside a large room and heard someone talking inside. Taking a peek, it was indeed two palace maids cleaning the room. He coughed and came into the room.
The two palace ladies hurriedly asked: "Who are you, and why are you here?" Liu Shui said hurriedly: "I am the guard in front, and I want the prince to report the matter." The two palace ladies did not have any doubts, and said smoothly: "Your Majesty, you just left. The back hall." Liu Shui asked: "How to get to the back hall? I rarely go inside. Can you show me the way out?" How could the two palace ladies think that someone dared to pretend to be a guard, so they told Liu Shui in detail. After Liu Shui thanked him, he went straight to the back hall.
When he arrived outside the back hall, Liu Shui quickly flew up to the roof and looked inside. He saw that occasionally someone came to inspect the courtyard and the lights were brightly lit inside. Liu Shui quietly approached the brightest room, then slid to the beam in the corridor and heard voices inside. Liu Shui landed lightly, and when he looked from the door, he saw two people inside, both wearing yellow robes. The older one must be Wu Sansi.
