Feiyun saw that Li Xing had no way to escape, so he stopped and said to her: "Miss Li, you have no way to go, so you should surrender obediently!"
Li Xing said nothing, she knew it was the end. She knew very well that once handed over, she would have no chance of escape. She didn't want to be captured and humiliated, so she suddenly jumped off the cliff.
This cliff is about tens of feet high, and below it is the Liuyang River. If she jumped like this, there was probably no hope of survival. Everyone wanted to capture her alive, but they were inevitably unwilling to do so.
Although the battle at Taogong Temple was a complete victory, there were many casualties among the officers, soldiers and friends in the world. Feiyun and Gao Dan interrogated the people in Xiangmen and found out that the person who had been tipping them off was actually Magistrate Zhu.
Gao Dan was furious and immediately asked Gao Quan to take charge of the aftermath. She rushed to the magistrate's office with Feiyun, Tianxiang, Liangchen, Meijing and others, preparing to capture Magistrate Zhu.
When Gao Dan and others arrived at the prefect's Yamen, they were stopped by the guards at the door. Meimei immediately shouted: "Didn't you see that this is the princess's grand drive? How dare you stop it?"
But the guard said: "Can the princess not abide by the rules? There is a princess inside, and no one can enter without notification!"
Mei Mei was furious and was about to rush forward. Gao Dan hurriedly stopped her, and she saw that the other party must be Princess Changping's bodyguard. She then said to the guard: "We are here to find the princess. Please report to the princess quickly!"
The guard then asked another person to report, but Gao Dan and others were still not allowed in. Although everyone was very anxious, worried that Magistrate Zhu would escape. But there was no choice but to wait at the door.
After a while, the guard came out slowly and said, "Guys, please give us your weapons before you can go in!"
Meimei said angrily: "This girl has never been in the habit of handing over weapons, so I won't go in."
Gao Dan thought for a while and said: "Brother, since it's such a trouble, I won't go in. Please go and report again. I'll wait for her here and ask her to come out and talk!"
The guard was a little impatient, so he said: "In that case, I think you have nothing important to do, so you don't need to see the princess at all, so just go back!"
Mei Mei couldn't hold it back any longer, and immediately flew to the guard, raised her hand and slapped him twice, and shouted sternly: "The princess wants you to do this, you just do it, why is there such nonsense!"
The guard obviously had not encountered such a situation. He had always bullied others in the past, but he did not expect to be bullied now. He immediately shouted, drew his sword and struck at the beautiful scenery. However, Mei Mei snorted coldly and waved her jade flute to welcome him.
How could this guard be the match of Mei Mei? In less than three moves, he knocked the guard to the ground. Seeing this, the other guards rushed over, but Mei Mei defeated them all with just three moves.
At this time, Princess Changping received a report that someone was making trouble at the gate of the government office and knocked down several guards. Princess Changping was furious and immediately brought Ruyun and Ruxia to the door.
Seeing the beautiful scenery, Princess Changping hurriedly asked what happened. Meimei told the princess the situation coldly. The princess was furious, scolded the guards, and quickly invited Gao Dan and others in.
Princess Changping waited for everyone to sit down before asking about Gao Dan's purpose. Gao Dan told the story of the collusion between Magistrate Zhu and Xiangmen, and bluntly said that he was here to arrest Magistrate Zhu.
But the princess felt that something was fishy, so she called in Zhu Zhifu and Wu Wei to explain the situation clearly. After Magistrate Zhu arrived, he actually did not deny it, but he said that he acted under Wu Sansi's secret order and had some dealings with Xiangmen.
Meimei immediately asked Magistrate Zhu to come up with a secret order and let everyone see if he was lying. But Magistrate Zhu said that the secret order had been burned by him. If you don't believe it, you can directly ask Wu Sansi.
Gao Dan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do. When Liangchen saw this, it was obvious that Wu Wei knew about it, so he advised Gao Dan to go back and tell Gao Dan again. Feiyun and others left the government office, said goodbye to Gao Dan and returned to Tanzhou Inn without saying anything.
Early the next morning, a good time and beautiful scenery came to wake Feiyun up. They knew that Feiyun had been very busy recently and hadn't had a good rest, so they never bothered him.
Feiyun woke up and asked sleepily: "You are making trouble again, why don't you let me rest for a while?"
Liangchen said: "We are not causing trouble, but someone invited you to meet at Zuixian Tower to discuss important matters."
Feiyun asked: "Who is this big shot? You are so impatient."
Meimei said: "It's Master Wuchen, Master Liaochen and others."
Feiyun said quickly: "Then we have to go quickly, we can't keep the master waiting for a long time." After saying that, he stood up quickly and rushed to Zuixian Tower with a good time and beautiful scenery. Seeing that the heads of various factions in Tanzhou were actually there, Feiyun greeted them one by one and everyone took their seats one after another.
Feiyun asked: "I wonder if you, seniors, would like to ask the juniors to come here for your instructions? If you need any help, please make it clear."
Master Liaochen said: "Due to the disaster of Xiangmen during this period, Tanzhou Wulin suffered a great disaster and suffered heavy losses. The reason was that each faction fought on its own, which gave them an opportunity to defeat them one by one, leading to a situation where It is irreversible. Therefore, we all discussed that we really need an alliance to unite our efforts to support and take care of each other. Now we are interested in forming an alliance, but we need a leader. After everyone’s public recommendation, we think that only you, young hero, can take on this responsibility."
Feiyun said hurriedly: "Seniors, I have fallen in love by mistake. How can I, the junior, dare to take on this important task? I still ask the master to take the responsibility. I, the junior, must follow the horse's lead and serve wholeheartedly."
Master Liao Chen also said: "Everyone has seen what Young Hero has done recently and will remember it in their hearts. The people of Tanzhou also admire Young Hero very much. This matter is indeed a thankless thing. Young Hero Are you afraid of being too tired?"
Feiyun said: "Master has misunderstood. Firstly, I am young and cannot take on such a big responsibility. Secondly, I have to travel north to gain my knowledge. I can't thank you enough for the kindness of my seniors. How about this, please nominate someone else. If you have Whatever you need me to do, I'll just tell you. What do you think?"
Everyone felt a little regretful when they saw that Feiyun really didn't want to assume the position of alliance leader.
While they were talking, someone came in from outside and said to Feiyun: "Young hero, you are indeed here. Make it easy for me to find you." When everyone looked, they saw that it was Gao Quan, a guard of the Gao family.
Feiyun asked quickly: "Brother Gao, what do you want from me?"
Gao Quan saw that those present were all famous figures in the Tanzhou martial arts world, so he greeted them one by one.
Gao Quan said to Feiyun: "Master Jiedushi heard about the Tao Gong Temple and specially invited the young master to come and talk."
Feiyun said: "Then I will go see you tomorrow."
Gao Quan said: "Young hero, if there is nothing special to do, how about you go with me now? Otherwise, I won't be able to deliver."
"This..." Feiyun thought to himself, it's not like you didn't see me talking to everyone. It would be too much to follow the trend if Gao Jiedu just said hello and left these people alone, so Feiyun hesitated.
Master Wuchen saw Feiyun's expression and knew that he had concerns. He said, "Since your Majesty has invited us, we naturally have important matters to discuss. Young hero, you don't have to worry about us. You can go with the high guard."
Everyone said it didn't matter and urged Feiyun to go quickly. Feiyun confessed to everyone and followed Gao Quan to the door of the house.
Just as he was about to enter, Meimei said: "Master, go in, we will wait for you at the door."
Gao Quan thought it was strange, so he asked, "Why don't Miss Meijing go in? We are no longer outsiders, so you are not an outsider either."
Liangchen snorted and said: "The threshold of your family is too high, and we ordinary people are really not worthy of it."
Feiyun also said: "I will be back soon. You go shopping and go back directly." Liangchen said: "You don't need to worry about us. You can go in by yourself."
It doesn't matter if Feiyun wants to have a good time and beautiful scenery without going in. They have been working hard recently and they should relax.
Feiyun entered the main hall and was about to salute when he was stopped by Gao Jiedushi. After sitting down, Gao Jiedushi said: "Dan'er has already told me in detail about the Tao Gong Temple incident. The rebels were annihilated in this battle. Lin Shaoxia deserves the most credit. There are still many people who will be loyal to the country, and I will definitely serve as an official." Report to the imperial court to provide good care and reward to the families of the martyrs who died in battle." Feiyun also said: "This is our responsibility. Since you are sincere, you can comfort their heroic spirits."
Jiedushi said: "Just now Gao Quan said that the Tanzhou Wulin was gathering at Zuixian Tower. I wonder if I have affected your discussions. If so, please forgive me." Feiyun wanted to ask him something, but it was inconvenient. Just asking directly.
Feiyun thought that he would know sooner or later anyway. If I didn't tell him clearly, it would make him suspicious. Then he said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that they want to establish a martial arts alliance and want to elect the junior as the leader. The junior has little talent and little knowledge, and dare not take on important responsibilities."
Gao Jiedushi said: "Young Master is too modest. Their idea is very good. But in that case, it may delay the Young Master's future."
Feiyun smiled and said: "My lord is just joking. I'm a villager in the mountains. How can I talk about my future?"
Gao Jiedushi said: "Young Master is unaware of something. We have prepared a report of Young Master's great achievements to the court, and Young Master is serving in the army. According to the current emperor's love for talents, he will at least be appointed to the post of General."
Feiyun said: "Thank you for the reminder, sir. But please give up this plan. The common people have no intention of holding an official position for the time being, and they are not qualified." Feiyun knew that he still didn't know his identity, so he said this.
The high-ranking envoy asked, "Did Dan'er offend you in any way?"
Feiyun said: "This has nothing to do with the princess. This junior has no intention of pursuing an official career."
Gao Jiedushi said: "It would be a pity if this is the case. But you are still young, and it will not be too late to figure it out later."
Feiyun thought of those captured Xiangmen people who didn't know how to deal with them, so he asked: "Sir, have those captured Xiangmen people been dealt with?"
Gao Jiedushi said: "There are no important people to deal with. I originally wanted to know something from that elder, but unfortunately he died of menstruation due to inadvertence. Now there is only one hall master left who is the biggest boss, but he My knowledge is limited, so I can’t figure out the reason. I think a few high-ranking people will be executed tomorrow, and the rest will be sent to the army.”
