Chapter 329 Beheading, Luo'er Charges Out!

Li Qingluo had already recognized that this person was the same young master Zong who had been bathed and dressed by her and then knocked unconscious in the private room on the second floor.

When Li Qingluo saw this person, her heart skipped a beat.

Is he going to come after me now?

If he shouts out the name of the person who knocked him unconscious in an attempt to escape from prison, then he would be walking right into a trap.

Young Master Zong was naturally the first to recognize Li Qingluo.

However, in Young Master Zong's eyes, Li Qingluo was still a male and female servant whose identity was questionable.

Although she made him so angry he wanted to bite her, at that moment, he couldn't bring himself to argue with her.

After all, he's locked up now too...

However, compared to Li Qingluo's anxiety and anger, at this moment, this young master Zong was propping his head up and lying on his side on a bed covered with straw.

He doesn't look like a prisoner at all.

He looked more like an old man who came here for inspection but accidentally got locked up in a cell.

"Don't even think about it. This dark dungeon at Chunyan Tower isn't a place you can just leave whenever you want."

Seeing that he didn't seem to want to expose her, Li Qingluo didn't have time to think it over and quickly went to the prison door to grab the thick chain.

This chain can only be opened with a key.

There were no blunt objects nearby to break the lock.

Li Qingluo could only look at Eunuch Wu again. Although Eunuch Wu had some reservations, he still nodded heavily, considering the urgency of the situation.

"You may hand it over to this servant."

As he spoke, Grandpa Wu suddenly went mad, picking up all the straw on the ground and scattering it haphazardly.

Seeing this, Li Qingluo understood his meaning and quickly followed suit.

Soon, straw filled the air in their cell.

Upon seeing this, Young Master Zong looked at him with disgust: "A madman."

However, when the straw slowly fell from the sky, there was no one left in the prison cell.

These two people have vanished into thin air!

Young Master Zong sat up abruptly, staring wide-eyed at the empty cell.

The people from Prince Su's residence had just left.

Soon after, the Chunyanlou Restaurant returned to its usual bustling and prosperous state.

The sounds of string and wind instruments lingered, never ceasing.

Spring songs and dances continue, the music never ceasing.

Orioles and swallows sing, the lights are brilliant.

The dancers, dressed in light and sheer gauze dresses, danced gracefully in the arena to the melodious music.

The patrons embraced the beautiful women, raised their glasses in toasts, and laughed and chatted noisily.

The women in the hall were all dressed in brightly colored and revealing gauze dresses. Some were drinking and laughing with the guests, while others were playing the zither and reciting poetry. Each of them was charming and alluring.

In the lavish and brightly lit hall, a woman covered in blood was hanging in the very center.

However, no one cared whether she was dead or alive, or even whether it was true or false.

Until the madam of Chunyanlou, Madam Hua, came out with the manager, swaying her hips.

"My lords—this is our Spring Banquet Pavilion's newest costume-themed entertainment—the Red Beauty!"

"Don't be fooled by the bloody scene; it's all fake!"

"It's just so that all of you officials can find some unusual excitement at our Spring Banquet Pavilion today."

Are the officials all satisfied?

Someone shouted "Satisfied!" and then pinched the face of the beauty in his arms and kissed her.

Some people felt disgusted and told them to put the person down quickly, fearing they would have nightmares about it that night.

Another person asked, "Why don't you put on a show where we poke a female ghost? Give each of us a small knife, and whoever successfully pokes the ghost will get an extra hundred taels of silver today. What do you think?"

"Hahaha……"

This proposal has received considerable support.

However, Madam Hua waved her handkerchief and said, "Oh, gentlemen, you are all so cruel and heartless. If you had really hit her, how could this young lady have survived?"

"Hehe, but don't be impatient, gentlemen. We have something even more exciting to show you."

"Bring him up—"

After Hua Mama finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and then another old woman, covered in blood and with gray hair, was seen kneeling on the ground being led out like a dog.

If she doesn't move, a whip will instantly lash her body.

Despite trembling with pain, she remained silent, gritted her teeth, and gritted her teeth as she looked up at the woman hanging in the center of the ceiling, and then had no choice but to continue crawling forward.

Upon seeing this scene, the red-clad woman suspended in mid-air suddenly began to struggle violently.

It was also making a 'woo-woo' sound.

The old woman on the ground, with her bloodshot eyes, glared angrily at everything around her and roared furiously.

Many people were frightened by this scene.

Even the prostitutes at Chunyanlou cried out and shrank into the arms of the various officials.

The expressions of those patrons also changed slightly.

Is this... is this also fake?

Mother Flower clapped her hands and laughed so hard she bent over: "Haha, hahaha..."

"Look at the reactions of these officials. Aren't they all terrified?"

"Don't worry, gentlemen, these are all programs specially arranged for you by Chunyanlou today. What you just saw was all fake!"

In an instant, the hall, which had been deathly silent from the scene just now, was filled with lively echoes again.

"So it was all fake!"

"You guys are really good at creating things. As expected, it has to be Chunyanlou. Every program is unique."

"This really scared the hell out of me. I thought it was real."

"Indeed! This young master was even prepared to abandon the beauty and hurry home. After all, we come to Chunyan Tower to spend a night with a beauty, not to see this disgusting stuff."

"Even if it's fake, it's still incredibly disgraceful. We're all here to have fun; what kind of decorum is this, with such bloodshed and horror?"

There was a lot of discussion below, but Hua's mother didn't care.

He simply gave a look to the manager beside him, signaling all the thugs standing in the shadows to keep an eye on everyone's every move.

Anyone acting suspiciously should be apprehended immediately!

Hiding in the shadows, Li Qingluo saw clearly that the two blood-soaked figures were indeed Que'er and Granny Deng. Instantly, her blood surged and rushed to her head!

She almost rushed out without thinking, but was held back tightly by Eunuch Wu.

"Miss Li, you mustn't act impulsively!"

Eunuch Wu looked around nervously. "I just checked, there are at least twenty or thirty men lying in ambush here, if not forty or fifty!"

"If we just go out like this, it's like throwing an egg against a rock, or walking into a trap."

"Let's think this through again. At least we've rescued people, and we have to get them out of here. We can't let them all perish here!"

Li Qingluo's chest heaved violently, her eyes filled with utter hatred.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly looked at the tall candlestick standing to the side.

Then look at the curtains on the second floor.

Among the crowd were martial arts practitioners carrying broadswords and swords, there to enjoy themselves.

Li Qingluo's eyes narrowed, and she had already made up her mind.

She turned to Eunuch Wu and gestured, saying, "Do you have a way to contact people in your Prince Su's mansion?"

Eunuch Wu patted his body: "This servant was arrested so suddenly that I didn't have time to bring any tokens with me. Even if I did, that damned Sha Lei took them all!"

“However, I just saw two familiar faces… If I were to ask them to make a trip, it wouldn’t be difficult for me, given my status.”

Li Qingluo nodded heavily, gesturing rapidly with his hands. Eunuch Wu nodded repeatedly, saying, "Don't worry, this servant will do everything in my power to accomplish what I can!"

Just then, two more people walked into Chunyanlou.

It was Nangong Di and his steward Wu De.

Nangong Di: "There's only one place like this where we haven't searched for Luo'er's whereabouts yet. I really don't want to see her here."

Wu De sighed, "We have to try. What if the young lady has been harmed by a villain and is trapped here unable to escape?"

The beautiful woman waved her handkerchief and pounced on them like a boneless, soft snake.

"My lord—"

As soon as Nangong Di entered the main hall, he saw a little girl covered in blood hanging conspicuously in the hall.

Her disheveled hair almost completely covered her face, but her occasional twisting and struggling didn't seem fake.

The prostitute beside him covered her lips and smiled as she explained, "Don't worry, sir, those bloodstains are fake... they're just some entertainment items that our Chunyan Pavilion designed for our guests."

"Sir, you are so mighty and strong, surely you are not afraid?"

Nangong Di raised his eyes: "That's fake too?"

Inside the hall, there was another old woman, also covered in blood, being led around like a dog, crawling on the ground.

Anyone who sees it can kick it hard.

The prostitute said, "Of course, this old woman was born a lowly creature. It's her good fortune to be able to get kicked by an official."

Nangong Di gave a cold "heh," neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Suddenly, in a corner where no one paid attention, a flame quietly climbed upwards like a dragon or snake under the curtain.

By the time someone smelled the odor and saw the fire, the flames had already reached the top of the pillar.

"Fire!"

After a cry of alarm, the five-story-high candelabra collapsed into the hall with a loud crash. As the tall curtain on the other side was torn down and thrown into the fire, the flames instantly spread forward along the carpet.

Everyone in the hall was stunned by what they saw.

After they realized what was happening, everyone started screaming and running for their lives.

"Fire! Fire!

Wu Gonggong, hiding in a dark corner, sneered: "What's the rush? The real show hasn't even started yet."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the crowd, then precisely spotted someone, and took advantage of the chaos to quickly run forward.

When Mother Hua saw the fire, although she was slightly surprised, she quickly calmed down and directed people to come and put out the fire.

"What happened? Go and investigate!"

It's really strange that so many people didn't notice how the fire started.

Just as the dancers were about to retreat, a loud 'bang' suddenly rang out.

A round object was tossed into the center of the platform.

The dancer accidentally stepped on it and fell.

Before the dancer could even get up, she could already see what that round thing was.

It was a human head with its dead eyes wide open!

This person was the guard whom Li Qing had met on the second floor, the one to whom she had given money.

The dancer let out a startled cry.

Immediately afterwards, the dancers on the stage screamed in fright.

The customers who hadn't yet dispersed naturally all witnessed this scene.

Chaos erupted instantly inside the hall, with people charging and crashing into each other. The chaos and obstruction caused the fire to spread uncontrollably and completely.

Li Qingluo stood on the second floor, holding a blood-dripping broadsword.

Her gaze was icy and chilling as she looked at this magnificent hell.

Even if she dies today, she will destroy this Spring Banquet Pavilion completely!

She didn't say a word, but her eyes repeatedly screamed: "Since it's all fake! Then look at this head, isn't it fake?!"

Mother Flower shivered.

To my astonishment, a pimp I didn't recognize appeared by the railing on the second floor, covered in blood and looking like a demon!

Mother Hua instantly recognized her and exclaimed in shock, "It was you—? You did it—?"

"What are you waiting for? Grab this little bitch right now!"

The thugs downstairs immediately rushed upstairs.

Li Qingluo quickly stepped onto the railing, grabbed the curtain on the pillar and held it tightly to her arm. With a push of her feet, she fearlessly lunged towards the red figure hanging in the hall!
