Feiyun secretly thought that this was true. Those ministers must have reported good news but not bad news. It was indeed difficult for Wu Zetian to hear the truth. Feiyun thought for a while, turned to look at Liangchen, and said, "Second sister, you are so sharp-tongued, I will tell the emperor in detail." Liangchen immediately told what happened after Feiyun left the capital.
After Wu Zetian heard this, he became furious and said: "I didn't expect that there were so many bullies and corrupt officials in the local area. It seems that I must strengthen the administration of officials and severely punish corrupt officials."
Liangchen continued: "Your Majesty, in addition to these, we must select wise and capable people to serve as local officials." Wu Zetian nodded in agreement and said that he would discuss the matter with the prime ministers tomorrow.
Wu Zetian asked Feiyun why he didn't come to see her often after returning to Beijing for so many days. Feiyun told her about the recent affairs of the White Lotus Sect and the Dragon and Phoenix Sect.
Wu Zetian couldn't help but said angrily: "These two groups are really lingering. They dare to go to the capital to commit crimes. I will never let them go. Young Master Lin, is there any way to deal with them? If you need anything, just ask it, I will definitely do it." satisfy!"
Liangchen said that he did not need the emperor's help for the time being. Once he found the lairs of the White Lotus Sect and the Dragon and Phoenix Sect, he would naturally ask the emperor to send experts from the palace to help eliminate these two groups of people with evil intentions.
After hearing this, Wu Zetian agreed to Liangchen's request without hesitation and said that everyone, including Princess Changping, could leave the palace to assist Feiyun.
Feiyun suggested that Wu Zetian should strengthen the protection of the palace. After all, the White Lotus Sect and the Dragon and Phoenix Sect have several extremely powerful masters. If you are facing the enemy head-on, there is no need to worry. But if they attack or assassinate at night, it will be difficult to guard against them. The palace is heavily guarded, but to an expert, it's not worth mentioning.
Wu Zetian knew that Feiyun was thinking about her, but she didn't believe it. In her opinion, there should not be many masters like Feiyun in the world. What's more, there are masters like Princess Changping, Xu Zhitang, Duan Qing and Princess Hongjun in the palace. She thinks that she is infallible, so she looks disapproving. She was afraid that Feiyun would be careless, so she hurriedly said that she would remind the princess to pay attention.
Wu Zetian wanted to invite Feiyun and others into the palace to protect Prince Li Xian. Feiyun believes that he is protected by Ximen Shan and the Ximen family, so there is no need to worry about safety. In this way, he could concentrate on dealing with the White Lotus Sect and the Dragon and Phoenix Sect outside the palace.
Feiyun said that if the emperor transferred Princess Yanmei to the palace to join the guard, then everything would be safe. Wu Zetian didn't want to disappoint Feiyun, so she immediately agreed. Several people talked for a while, and then Feiyun and others left.
After leaving the palace, Liangchen said: "Brother, I don't think the emperor takes your words seriously. If Yang Xuelian or Li Fenghuang personally lead a sneak attack, it may really bring danger."
Feiyun thought for a while and said: "I hope the emperor will change his mind and take it seriously. However, even if they attack secretly, with the princess and others around, there shouldn't be any big problem. What do you think?"
Liangchen pondered for a while and said: "I think we have to make other arrangements just in case." Feiyun asked: "Then what are your ideas?" Liangchen said: "In my opinion, if they want to make a sneak attack, they must be At night. Why don't we divide into three teams? You lead me and Meijing's team, Sister Lanxing leads Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue, Lin Feng and Deng Dan lead Hong'er and Qing'er, and Sister Tianxiang leads Ru. Paint and take turns to guard near the palace. Once you find someone breaking into the palace at night, follow them and wait for the opportunity!"
Feiyun had no better way and agreed to Liangchen's suggestion. They returned to the hospital and immediately called Lian'er, Hongying, Lin Feng and others together to discuss their plans. Naturally, everyone had no objections and immediately split up to prepare. After that, at night, three teams of people took turns waiting near the palace. For a few days, everything was fine. That night, it was the turn of flying clouds, good times, and beautiful scenery.
At midnight, Feiyun and the others were checking near the palace, but they saw four men in black running towards the palace. They were Li Fenghuang, Li Xuehua, Li Zhen and Ruoxue from the Dragon Phoenix Sect. It turns out that after Ruoxue returned to the capital, she had always wanted to enter the palace and assassinate Wu Zetian to avenge her parents. Li Fenghuang knew that there were many masters in the palace, but he never agreed. But Li Zhen couldn't resist Ruoxue's request, so he interceded with his mother on her behalf. Li Fenghuang couldn't resist them, so he agreed to give it a try.
Li Fenghuang decided to take only Li Xianglan, Li Zhen and Ruoxue to the palace for the assassination. After all, the other people's martial arts were slightly inferior. So the four of them changed into their night clothes and came outside the palace wall. Li Fenghuang and the others used the cover of night to avoid the patrolling imperial guards and flew up the wall. The four of them were extremely fast with their qinggong skills, and the imperial guards did not notice them. he
Ruoxue looked at it and asked quietly: "Chief Sect Master, there are so many houses here, how do you know where Hun Jun is?"
Li Fenghuang thought for a while and said, "Let's go up to the top of the house in front and observe and discuss at the same time!" The four of them immediately jumped off the wall and went straight to a nearby house. When they reached the side of the house, the four people jumped up, went up to the roof, lay down, and watched what was going on inside.
I saw a larger open space in front of me, which looked like a martial arts arena. There were two teams of guards looking like people in the middle of the open space, patrolling back and forth. All of them were strong men, and each of them held a weapon. Li Fenghuang couldn't help but frown secretly. She didn't expect that the palace was so heavily guarded. In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Someone came in and made a fuss at night before. Now it is natural to strengthen the defense.
Li Fenghuang thought about it secretly and said softly: "Zhen'er went down to check, we'll wait here." Ruoxue said: "It's such a small matter, it's better for me to go down and let Brother Li take action." Li Xuehua said: "Xue'er, why are you suitable?" Ruoxue smiled and said: "I have an advantage over you all. I have been to the palace before, I know the situation in the palace, and I can even pretend to be a palace maid. Generally speaking, women easily make the other party relax. They are even less wary of palace maids."
Li Fenghuang thought for a while and said, "Xue'er is right, let her go!" Li Zhen said, "I'm not worried about her going alone. Let's do this, I'll go down with her. Mother and sister, You wait here, be sure to hide yourself and don't be discovered!" Li Fenghuang and Li Fenghuang agreed softly. Li Zhen and Ruoxue immediately jumped down and landed quietly on the ground.
The two of them were walking forward quietly when they saw two palace maids walking slowly over carrying a lantern. Ruoxue said softly to Li Zhen: "Brother Li, why don't we follow them first, find an opportunity to restrain them, and ask Wu Zetian where she is!" Li Zhen had no other good idea for a while, so he nodded in agreement. The two followed the two palace maids to a house. Li Zhen pressed Ruoxue's hand and said, "Do it!" The two of them flew out and struck the acupuncture points of the two palace ladies like lightning, then ran away one by one. Go to a secluded place.
The two palace maids had their vital points pressed, unable to move or make a sound, but their consciousness was clear. Li Zhen said softly to the two of them: "Girls, don't be afraid. As long as you are obedient and answer a few questions truthfully, we will not hurt you!" After saying that, he untied the acupuncture points of a palace maid. The palace maid looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. She was already pale with fear and said tremblingly: "Hero, spare your life!"
Ruoxue said softly: "Little sister, don't be afraid. Let me ask you, do you know where Wu Zetian is?" The palace maid said: "This heroine, we are just the lowest palace maids, how do we know where the emperor is?" Ruoxue He said angrily: "If you don't tell the truth, then don't blame me!" After Ruoxue finished speaking, she pretended to hold the sword behind her back. The palace maid was shocked and said quickly: "Sister, spare your life! We really don't know. At this time, the emperor must be in the palace of the harem." Li Zhen said sternly: "Are you telling the truth? If you dare to deceive us, we will come back. I want to settle a score with you!" The palace maid hurriedly said: "I don't dare, I don't dare!" Seeing this, Ruoxue couldn't bear it. Judging from the palace maid's appearance, she probably didn't dare to lie.
Li Zhen then reached out and tapped her acupuncture points. Ruoxue then untied the acupuncture points of another palace maid and asked: "Little girl, do you know where Wu Zetian is?" The palace maid said in a trembling voice: "If the emperor is not in the palace, he is usually in the imperial study room." She also gave detailed instructions. The path to the royal study room. Ruoxue waited for her to finish speaking, then reached out and touched her acupuncture points, and said softly: "Girl, you will be able to move freely in two hours. But if you want to save your lives, it is best not to tell others what happened."
Li Zhen said to Ruoxue: "Xue'er, this should be the residence of the palace maids. You go inside and change into a palace maid's uniform. It will be more convenient later." Ruoxue nodded in agreement and ducked in. After a while, she dressed like a palace maid and walked out. The two immediately left, found where the guards were stationed, and stole three sets of guard uniforms. The two returned to Li Fenghuang and Li Xuehua's hiding place, handed them the guard uniforms, and said: "The three of us dressed up as guards, and Ruoxue dressed up as a palace maid. When people interrogated me, I said it was the emperor who asked the palace maids to The guards who took us to strengthen the guard, don't say anything!" Li Xuehua said: "Brother, this is a great plan." The three of them quickly changed their clothes.
The four people immediately flew off the roof, with Ruoxue in front and Li Fenghuang behind them. They followed the path pointed by the palace maid and walked towards the imperial study. It was late at night and there were not many people walking around the palace. Occasionally, she encountered several groups of patrolling guards, but Ruoxue dealt with them skillfully. After all, they were wearing the clothes of palace maids and guards, and the guards did not expect anyone to impersonate them. After a while, the four of them arrived in front of the imperial study room.
Li Zhen looked up and saw bright lights in the imperial study. Li Zhen said with great joy: "It seems we are lucky. The Hunjun is actually in the imperial study at this time. Mother, sister, Xue'er and I will enter the house later, and you two will go up to the roof and prepare to meet us." Li Fenghuang said: "You two are too weak, so I will go in too. Just leave Hua Hua on the roof to take care of you!" Li Xuehua said, "Mother is right. If you three go in, you will be more confident." Li Fenghuang was among the four of them. Among them, the martial arts are the strongest. Even if there is an accident, they can lead Li Zhen and Ruoxue to break out of the siege.
