Magistrate Zhu immediately said: "If you are willing to pay such a high price, I will have no problem. But in the future, you must pay taxes on time and do not neglect or delay."
Li quickly said: "Thank you, Sir, for your help. We will definitely act in accordance with the law."
When everyone heard this, they realized that Xiangmen's strength was unrivaled in Tanzhou, and it had combined with the prefect Lu Zhu. The other factions couldn't help but feel secretly uneasy.
Li Xing said to everyone again: "Everyone knows that the undercurrents in Tanzhou's rivers and lakes have been surging recently, and all factions are facing danger. The juniors suggest that we gather fellow martial arts practitioners and heroes from the martial arts world to jointly establish a martial arts alliance, select a respected leader, and lead everyone to deal with those To maintain the integrity of the world, I wonder what the seniors and leaders think?"
Li Xing waited for a while, but no one answered. She smiled slightly and asked Zen Master Wuyu, the abbot of Lushan Temple, directly: "Master Wuyu, what do you think? Lushan Temple is the leader in Tanzhou's martial arts world, so it must not refuse good deeds that benefit the people, right?"
Li Xing's words were high-sounding and impeccable. Abbot Wuyu had no words to refute, so he said: "Lushan Temple is a place of Buddhism. I am a monk. I should not be involved in worldly affairs. Of course, I naturally agree with the matter of punishing evil and promoting good." Other sects saw Lushan Sidu agreed with Xinglan’s proposal and naturally agreed.
Li Xing then said: "In that case, can we elect the leader of the alliance today?" Obviously she wanted to strike while the iron was hot and win the position of leader of the Tanzhou Wulin Alliance.
Zhang Shanlong interrupted and said: "Master Li, your sect was just established today. I think we should wait until later."
Li Xing also said cheerfully: "Then we will gather at the top of Yuelu Mountain during the Dragon Boat Festival to celebrate the establishment of the Wulin Alliance and the election of its leader."
Everyone saw that the matter had come to this, so they could only accept it and think of countermeasures later. Seeing that everything was settled, Xiangmen held a banquet to entertain the guests. Feiyun and Tianxiang returned to the inn on the pretext that they had something to do.
When the two returned to the inn, Dongfang Zhenyu was discussing things with Xu Zhitang and Duan Qing. When Dongfang Zhenyu saw them coming back, he asked, "How is the situation over there?" Feiyun told them truthfully.
Dongfang Zhenyu said: "They have become a bad guy, so we can only figure out a good plan." Feiyun then asked: "What are the plans for tomorrow's action?" Duan Qing quickly told Feiyun the whole story.
It turned out that Duan Qing accidentally met his Longshan brother Wu Chang when he went out for a walk just now. He learned from Wu Chang that the government suddenly attacked them and arrested many Longshan people on the grounds that they were plotting to rebel.
The government was also preparing to kill these Longshan people tomorrow. Wu Chang inquired about this situation, but he didn't know anyone in Tanzhou. When he was anxious, he met Duan Qing. When Duan Qing learned about it, he took Wu Chang to the inn and met Dongfang Zhenyu.
Dongfang Zhenyu said: "We have already discussed it. The most difficult people to deal with on the government side are the few people around Xu Qiong and Zhang Shanlong and others from the Jieduzhifu Yamen. The biggest threat is Wu Wei and others from the Zhifu Yamen. They If you are involved in this matter, rescuing people tomorrow will definitely be very troublesome."
Feiyun, however, believed that the task of rescuing the people was his responsibility. After all, as the emperor's secret envoy, he could go directly to Magistrate Zhu to release the people. However, Wu Chang raised objections and asked what he should do if the other party ignored him at all. Feiyun said that it was impossible at this time, and these people did not have the courage to resist and disobey the order.
Wu Chang thought this was too risky and insisted on using force to rescue. Seeing that the two sides could not reach an agreement, Liangchen decided to divide his troops into two groups and prepare at the same time. Feiyun, Tianxiang, Liangchen and Meimei prepare to go to the rescue directly as secret envoys, while Dongfang Zhenyu discusses with them how to use force to rescue.
Liangchen was actually worried that the other party would not obey the orders of him and others, and would instead arrest him and others under the guise of pretending to be an imperial envoy. Feiyun said that Wu Wei and others were present, so they probably didn't dare to deny it. However, Liangchen didn't even believe Wu Wei and the others. After all, Wu Wei was considered to be Wu Sansi, so it was inevitable that he would be biased.
What if Wuwei takes the opportunity to eliminate Feiyun and others? He may use the power of the prefect to summon officers and soldiers to deal with him. In this way, Wu Wei can legitimately eradicate himself and others. Wu Wei can kill two birds with one stone by doing this. First, Wu Wei can take the opportunity to snatch Lan Xing and take the credit alone. Second, Wu Wei can avenge Feiyun for humiliating him all the time.
Feiyun also knew that Wu Wei had always secretly hated him because the two sides had formed a feud when they were escorting Wu Zetian. Later, Wu Zetian paid special attention to Feiyun, and Wu Wei was very dissatisfied and jealous. But in front of Wu Zetian, he had to suppress his dissatisfaction.
Feiyun couldn't help but feel a little worried after hearing Liangchen's analysis. He felt that what Liangchen said made sense, so he asked Liangchen what he could do. After thinking for a while, Liangchen came up with a countermeasure. She thought that before Wu Wei knew that Feiyun was preparing to save people, she could try to get Wu Wei and others to leave Tanzhou and not allow Wu Wei and others to appear in Tanzhou City.
Liangchen then told Feiyun that they should go to Wuwei immediately and tell Wuwei that someone might be ambushing Feiyun and others secretly in an attempt to rob Lanxing. Feiyun can ask Wuwei for help and go outside the city to check along the way early tomorrow morning to ensure safety. Feiyun asked Liangchen if he asked why he didn't go.
Liangchen said that he wanted to protect Lan Xing and could not leave Lan Xing. At the same time, Feiyun also gave Wu Wei an opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and he would definitely praise Wu Wei in front of Wu Zetian in the future.
Feiyun was overjoyed and hurriedly came to the prefect's Yamen with Liangchen and Meimei. He found Wuwei, told Wuwei his intention, and asked him to explore the road outside the city tomorrow. Under Liangchen's compliment, Wu Wei agreed to Feiyun.
Although Magistrate Zhu also asked Wu Wei to go to the execution ground to supervise the execution. Wu Wei thought that no one was so bold and dared to rob the law field, so he did not agree to Zhu Zhifu's request. In Wu Wei's eyes, there is no doubt that Lan Xing is far more important than a few prisoners. Feiyun was overjoyed to see Wuwei agree happily, and immediately left the prefect's office and returned to the inn.
After Dongfang Zhenyu heard about it, he went on to tell everyone that if the other party did not accept Feiyun's order to release him tomorrow, they would rescue him at the execution ground. At that time, they suddenly rushed out from the crowd of onlookers, with Feiyun dealing with Hu Hai, Meijing dealing with Zhang Shanlong, and Tianxiang dealing with Lin Shan. Liangchen, Yu Dan, and Xing'er rescued the people on the execution ground.
The remaining members of the Wu family were divided into three groups. One group threw gunpowder and firecrackers to disrupt the scene, one group resisted the officers and soldiers, and the other group was responsible for rescuing people. After Feiyun defeated Hu Hai, he wanted to attack Zhifu Zhu. He had to restrain him and then coerce him before he could leave Tanzhou. Otherwise, even if he is rescued, he will not be able to leave the execution ground, let alone Tanzhou.
Xu Zhitang said: "Why is it none of my business?" Dongfang Zhenyu said: "You can't leave the inn, you must stay here to protect Lan Xing. In addition, you must arrange a response at the West City Gate and prepare ships. Wang Hai took Yun Duo and Hua Hua were responsible for the response, and horses and vehicles were prepared on the other side of the Xiangjiang River." Although Xu Zhitang was reluctant, he knew that the matter was of great importance, so he did not say more. Several people thought over and over again to make the plan more thorough.
In the evening, Yunduo came to Feiyun and said that Miss Yunmeng asked him to meet at the previous place in the evening.
After dinner, Feiyun went to the mountain hut. I saw Yunmeng dressed in white, facing the mountain wind, looking at the bright moon, like water under the moonlight, like a fairy.
Feiyun was stunned for a moment, Yunmeng smiled and said: "What's wrong, you don't know each other?" Feiyun came back to his senses and said: "I thought I went wrong and met a fairy who descended to earth." Yunmeng said with a smile: "Poor talker." Feiyun said, "It's cold outside, but you should talk inside."
After entering the house, Feiyun lit a bonfire and the two sat on the floor. Feiyun asked: "Sister, are you looking for me if you have something to do?" "Can't I look for you if you have nothing to do?" "No, it's natural for a beautiful woman to look for me. She can ask for it at any time." "She's just sweet-mouthed and complimentary, so for Sister Tianxiang Do you think so?" "She doesn't have to look for a place, she can be seen at any time." "Then who do you think is more beautiful between us?" "This..." Yunmeng's question stumped Feiyun.
From Feiyun's point of view, both of them are beautiful. If I say which one is more beautiful, I really can't say. He could only say: "You are both beautiful and charming, each with your own merits, and you are both very good-looking." "Huh, both of you are trying to please, but one of you is cunning." Yunmeng glared at him with an angry look. Feiyun was embarrassed by what she said and remained silent.
Seeing his embarrassment, Yun Meng smiled and said, "I'm just teasing you. I see you're nervous." After speaking, he sighed. Feiyun asked: "It's so good, why are you sighing? Are you worried?" Yunmeng said quietly: "After tomorrow, I don't know if we can meet again?" "What, are you leaving Tanzhou? "Tomorrow we are going to assassinate the red thief, but we don't know if we can come back alive? So I asked you to meet me tonight, maybe it will be the last time."
Feiyun Teng stood up and said, "What? Are you going to assassinate the Red Thief? When? Where?" Yunmeng stood up slowly and said, "The Red Thief has always been very guarded and it is difficult to find opportunities. Tomorrow he will go to the execution ground. We are going to assassinate him on the road." Yunmeng looked at Feiyun and said.
Feiyun said: "Did you have anyone else here?" Yunmeng said: "No, it's still us." "Then it will be difficult to succeed." "Yes, that's why I came to say goodbye to you." Yunmeng said. Meng said sadly. Feiyun felt sad when he heard what she said and saw her in a daze.
Feiyun couldn't help but walked into Yunmeng and said softly: "Don't worry, even if you fail with your skills, it's not difficult to escape." "You just don't care about me." Yunmeng pouted.
Feiyun couldn't help laughing when he saw the pouting look on her lips. "Are you still laughing at me?" Yunmeng was even more angry. He raised his pink fist and hit him. Feiyun did not dodge and quietly received Yunmeng's punch.
Yunmeng asked in surprise: "Why didn't you hide or stop me?" "I know you won't hit me sincerely. I feel very comfortable when you touch your jade hands." Feiyun said.
Yunmeng blushed, "How dare you make fun of me?" He punched me again. Feiyun ducked and Yunmeng chased after him. During the chase, Feiyun saw Yunmeng's beautiful face, which looked even more delicate and lovely under the firelight.
