Lan Xing saw that the other party was unable to make any progress, so she had to say: "In this case, we can only meet each other in arms. Miss Yanran, please!" Lan Xing immediately pulled out the beauty sword and prepared to fight.
Yan Ran glanced at Lan Xing but didn't reply. She swung her sword and struck at Lan Xing. Lan Xing saw that she moved quickly and powerfully and recognized her acupoints very accurately, so she hurriedly waved her sword to meet her.
There was only a "pop" sound, their palms touched each other, and each of them was knocked back two steps. Lan Xing was secretly surprised. It seemed that Yanran's internal strength was not inferior to hers, and she was not an ordinary person.
Lan Xing immediately swung her sword and stabbed straight at him. Yanran twisted her body to avoid it, and then slashed Lan Xing with her knife. The two of them went back and forth, swords coming and going, entangled together. In the blink of an eye, the two fought for dozens of rounds, but no one had the upper hand.
Yanran's martial arts skills were all inherited from Pei Shouyi, and he is not named among the top five masters in the world for nothing. Ke Lanxing's family swordsmanship is also very exquisite, not inferior to the Pei family's swordsmanship.
Suddenly Yanran jumped up, swung her sword in the air, and struck Lan Xing straight. Lan Xing did not dodge or dodge, standing still. By the time Yanran's steel knife was about to reach her head, her moves had become old and she could no longer change her moves. Lan Xing's sword suddenly swung out and slashed at the steel knife. At the same time, Lan Xing raised her left hand, and a fierce palm force was forced towards Yan Ran.
Yanran's steel knife collided with Lan Xing's sword, and it suddenly felt like the steel knife had struck a copper wall. Obviously Lan Xing's internal strength is stronger than Yanran's, although Yanran's skill has greatly increased. Yanran's arm went numb, and the steel knife was knocked off her hand and fell to the ground.
Yanran was also shaken and flew backwards several times before landing. But before she could gain a firm footing, Lan Xing's palm wind had arrived. Yan Ran had no time to dodge or parry, so she had to use her kung fu to protect her key points in a hurry, and received the palm wind forcefully.
Yanran was shaken by this fierce palm wind and flew several feet backwards, falling to the ground. Fortunately, Lan Xing saw that she was a girl, so she didn't use all her strength, and the wind from her palm hit Yan Ran, so the strength was naturally weakened. Although Yan Ran was not seriously injured, she fell heavily and couldn't help but scream.
Lan Xing did not step forward, but looked at Yanran from a distance. Feiyun told her that no matter what happened today, she could not kill the other party's people to avoid deepening the grudge. Seeing that Yanran was already injured, Lan Xing stopped pressing to see if Yanran wanted to continue fighting.
Yanran knew that she was no match, so she had to struggle to stand up and said to Lan Xing: "Miss Lan Xing, this little girl thinks she is no match, so I'm willing to give in!" Then she cupped her hands and retreated.
Feiyun immediately asked Lan Xing to go back, walked to the front and said to Pei Shouyi: "Senior, we have won three of the five battles. I think this is the last one, so there is no need to compete again!"
Pei Shouyi did not expect that Yanran would lose. It seemed that it would be difficult to capture Lan Xing alive. He just said what he said and couldn't go back on it.
Pei Shouyi immediately said: "Surnamed Lin, you are lucky this time, but your luck will not be so good next time. I am true to my word, and I will not embarrass you this time. But I have my word first, and I will come to you again!" "
Pei Shouyi immediately turned around and left with his people. Feiyun looked at their retreating figures and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lan Xing snorted coldly and said: "What's the big deal? If you come back if you have the ability, we will still beat you down!"
Feiyun looked at her and said quickly: "Sister Lan Xing, although we won this time, we cannot underestimate them."
Lan Xing said unhappily: "Brother, I think you are just a little timid, afraid of this and that. If you let go and kill them, they may not dare to trouble us again."
Feiyun sighed and said: "Sister Lan Xing, I know you hate these people. But we are walking in the rivers and lakes after all. If we kill these people and form an indissoluble hatred with them, there will be endless troubles. Okay, let’s keep going!”
Feiyun immediately asked Lan Xing to return to the carriage, and he and Tianxiang opened the way in front, and the group continued westward. Seeing that it was getting late, they hurried on their way.
As the sun set, Feiyun and others finally arrived at the gate of Hongdu City. Hongdu is an important ancient city, located on the bank of Panyang Lake. It was at Tengwang Pavilion in Hongdu that Wang Bo wrote the famous preface to Tengwang Pavilion.
As soon as Feiyun and others reached the city gate, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city. Feiyun asked in surprise: "What's going on? Why did you stop us?"
An officer came over and said: "We were ordered by the prefect to check the passers-by. We received a report that someone was abducting and selling young girls from good families, and we will be passing by here during this time. I see that you have a large number of people, and there are many women, so naturally To inquire.”
Tianxiang immediately said: "We are all a family, what else do we need to ask?"
The officer glanced at Tianxiang and saw that she was extremely beautiful. He immediately said with a playful smile: "Girl, I think you are suspicious. Let me ask you, what is your relationship with this man? Who can prove it?"
Tianxiang was furious and shouted: "I am his fiancée, what more proof do you need? I think you are deliberately looking for trouble, so get out of the way quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!"
The officer's face darkened, and he immediately said: "These unruly people do not abide by the law, let me capture them all!" After saying that, he waved his hand, and the soldiers at the city gate immediately surrounded them.
When Feiyun saw it, he didn't want to make the matter a big deal. He quickly dismounted, walked to the officer, raised his hands and said, "Sir, she is indeed my fiancée. She just has a bad temper. Please bear with me."
The officer snorted coldly and said: "I don't care about this. I just bring the suspects back to the government office. As for whether you are unjust or not, it is up to the prefect to decide. Are you going to follow us honestly, or do you want us to take you away by force?" Are you leaving?"
Feiyun saw that people like him had blocked the city gate, so he thought he could only follow them to the government office. He immediately said: "In that case, we are willing to go to the government office with you and make it clear!"
Feiyun told everyone not to be nervous, he had to go to the Yamen first. Under the surveillance of officers and a group of soldiers, Feiyun and others arrived at the government office. The officer asked the others to stay outside the government office while he took Feiyun in alone.
Tianxiang was afraid that Feiyun would be in danger if he went in alone, so he immediately said that he must go in together. The good time and beautiful scenery also said that she was the accompanying maid and wanted to go in.
Although the officer Jian Liangchen and the beautiful scenery is not as beautiful as Tianxiang, she is still very beautiful. He was secretly happy and agreed immediately. Feiyun told Wang Hai and Lu Ying to wait outside with peace of mind and protect everyone at the same time.
The officer led Feiyun and the others inside and arrived at the government office lobby. The officer immediately stepped forward and said that he had arrested several people suspected of abducting and trafficking girls from good families. The prefect looked at Feiyun and others, and when he saw Tianxiang, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The prefect immediately said: "Who are you, who dare to kidnap and traffick young girls from good families?"
Tianxiang said quickly: "Master Taishou, we are not abducting girls. We are all a family. How can we say that we are abducting girls?"
The prefect smiled maliciously and said: "Of course you are not, you should be the one who was deceived. Don't worry, I will make the decision for you. This is the person I am talking about. Obviously he is a criminal!"
Feiyun immediately said: "Can you tell that I am a criminal without even asking?"
The prefect snorted coldly and said: "My lord said you are, you are. What else do you want to ask? Come here, capture this criminal!"
More than a dozen government officials on both sides agreed and rushed forward. Feiyun saw that the prefect was so unreasonable and became furious, so he waved his hand to repel the officials. Naturally, he didn't need to do anything. Liangchen and Meimei had already stood on both sides, raised their hands and went back to repel these government officials.
Seeing this, Tianxiang jumped up and arrived in front of the prefect. Tianxiang put his sword on his neck and said, "Do you want to die or live?"
The prefect was so frightened that he collapsed on his chair. The officer quickly drew his sword and rushed over, trying to save the prefect. Tianxiang sneered contemptuously, swung his sword, and immediately stabbed the officer in the chest. The officer screamed and fell to the ground.
The other officers wanted to continue rushing forward, but seeing the officer fall, they hurriedly took a few steps back, and no one dared to step forward. Liangchen then said to Feiyun: "Brother, this is a corrupt official. Let's go out first and then talk!"
Feiyun nodded and waved to Tianxiang. Tianxiang immediately escorted the prefect to the front, followed by Feiyun, and the good time and beautiful scenery came behind. Although there were many government officials in the government office, the prefect was controlled by others and did not dare to act rashly. He could only follow him from a distance.
Feiyun and others quickly left the government office. Wang Hai and Lu Ying felt baffled when they saw them escorting a person out. Feiyun looked around and found that many people stopped and gathered around.
Feiyun had an idea and asked Liangchen to come forward and speak. Liangchen knew what Feiyun meant, so he quickly came to the front and shouted loudly: "Fellow folks, please listen to what I have to say!"
These two words of "good times" were shouted out with inner strength, and naturally spread far. After hearing this, people passing by and nearby people came to watch the excitement.
At this time, Tianxiang and Meimei had already detained the prefect under the steps. Wang Hai and Lu Ying came to Feiyun and were about to ask. Feiyun told them not to rush, they would know in a moment.
Liangchen stood on the steps in front of the government office and saw that many people had gathered, so he asked: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I want to ask you, is this prefect a good official?"
Although the common people saw the prefect being escorted by two girls, they did not dare to say anything because of the prefect's power. Seeing that there was no answer from the people, Liangchen immediately said: "Don't worry, we were bullied by him just now, so we arrested him. Don't worry, he will never bully you again!"
After Liangchen finished speaking, he kicked the prefect again. The prefect screamed and knelt on the ground. When the people saw the prefect's appearance, they were greatly relieved, so they all accused the prefect of being a fisherman and oppressing the people.
The people became more and more angry as they talked, and several people rushed over and started beating them with their fists. Seeing the good times and beautiful scenery, he did not stop them. They just stood aside and watched the prefect being beaten, and let the people beat the prefect as much as they wanted. The prefect was beaten until he screamed and begged for mercy!
