Chapter 332 Zheng Lingzhou was hanged on the spot!

The retrieved knife was stained with blood.

However, once inside the smoke, there was no trace of it.

Without hesitation, Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi quickly chased after them.

Upon reaching the wall, the two saw that Qin Yu had reunited with that young master Zong.

As expected, Young Master Zong turned and leaned back, pulling Qin Yu over the wall and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Li Qingluo had long known that this person was not trustworthy, and was only glad that he hadn't stabbed her in the back inside the Chunyan Restaurant.

Zhuiyu helped Wu Gonggong up, while Lengdian and Pofeng followed.

The group also crossed the wall and sped off in pursuit.

Qinyu clutched her chest as she ran, pulling out a whistle from her pocket.

After she blew the whistle loudly, the already bustling street, which was filled with people watching the fire at Chunyanlou, became even more crowded and chaotic, quickly blocking Li Qingluo and her group's path.

We just let her get away like that?

Li Qinglu coughed a few times, knowing that if he really let Princess Qinyu leave today, she would probably give him a more ferocious and ruthless attack and revenge in the future.

Moreover, she was in no less of a sorry state than I was.

As a princess of two countries, Qinyu would certainly not reveal her noble princess status on the street.

Therefore, she must press her advantage, otherwise she will not have such an opportunity again in the future!

Li Qingluo turned to Prince Su and asked in sign language, "Your Highness, where do you think she might have fled to now?"

When Prince Su saw that she had actually learned sign language, his eyes grew even deeper.

I wanted to ask her when she learned it and for whom, but I knew now was not the time to ask.

Duan Rongshi: "Are you determined to pursue her to the very end today?"

Although he would certainly not let Qin Yu off the hook, Li Qingluo's body was clearly only putting on a brave front, and Duan Rongshi couldn't help but worry.

Li Qingluo gave a firm "Yes!"

She also had many injuries.

Even Zhuiyu and the other two felt a pang of heartache seeing this.

Moreover, the clothes were torn in many places, but Li Qingluo's attitude was extremely firm.

She has always had her own ideas.

Once a decision is made, it is extremely difficult to change.

Knowing she was stubborn, Duan Rongshi always respected her wishes, so he put his arm around her shoulder.

"In that case, I will accompany you today!"

After saying that, he lightly leaped onto the roof with Li Qingluo.

Duan Rongshi's lightness skill has always been superb.

Once he flew onto the roof, Chasing Rain and Breaking Wind followed behind.

A gasp rippled through the crowd below as the people watching the commotion at Chunyan Tower looked up and gazed at the rooftop.

"Who...who are these people?"

"They dare to fly on rooftops in broad daylight, what kind of good people can they be? I didn't see any, they were all wearing masks, they know they can't be seen by people."

"Hey! Speaking of which, our Jinling City is getting more and more chaotic these days. First, last year, more than a dozen houses in the General's Mansion in Dongyin Lane were burned down, and after the New Year, the cloth shop in Baofeng Trading Company burned down half a street."

"The Spring Banquet Pavilion has been destroyed by fire again. Could this be a warning from heaven, some kind of divine punishment?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Be careful this gets back to the higher-ups, or you'll lose your life!"

Leng Dian listened coldly to these absurd words.

Because he had to escort Eunuch Wu back to Prince Su's residence first, he could only watch as His Highness and the others disappeared into the distance at the end of the long rooftop amidst gasps of surprise...

Prince Su carried Li Qingluo on the rooftop, flying away from the chaos in the blink of an eye.

When they landed again, they actually caught up with Qin Yu and that young master Zong.

Qin Yu seemed to be seriously injured and could no longer walk, so she could only let Young Master Zong carry her on his back.

Li Qingluo suspected that the person she had just slashed with her knife was Princess Qinyu.

I just don't know where she was hit?

However, the young master's lightness skill was actually comparable to Duan Rongshi's.

For a time, they were evenly matched, and it was impossible for one to shake off the other or for the other to catch up completely.

However, because they kept pursuing her, Princess Qinyu, who still wanted to conceal her identity, could not directly return to her princess residence, which was right next to Prince Su's residence.

They must not venture into the Crown Prince's sphere of influence.

We can no longer openly go to the Lotus Sect's hideouts in Jinling City.

She could only let Young Master Zong lead her on a frantic escape, and as a result, they had chased her all the way from the east of the city to the west entrance.

Young Master Zong was already panting heavily.

Seeing that Li Qingluo and the others were sticking close to him, and when he looked back and saw that they were getting closer and closer, he looked up at the city gate that was almost within reach, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he turned around and ran towards the city gate.

Zhuiyu: "Your Highness, the West Gate is just ahead. The Lotus Sect leader who was arrested today was hanged here."

Li Qingluo grabbed Duan Rongshi.

She shook her head.

He gestured, "Your Highness, we cannot go any further."

Duan Rongshi looked at her, puzzled: "Why? Are you afraid of seeing hanging, or are you afraid of seeing someone being hanged?"

Li Qingluo was completely confused by his question.

What's the difference?

She gestured to explain, "The Lotus Sect will definitely take action today. Your Highness's current attire is too conspicuous, and you will surely be mistaken for an identity by the soldiers who have been lying in ambush."

"If we rush over there rashly, we will be playing right into that Zong's hands and give them the opportunity to get rid of us!"

The three of them glanced at each other, all of them dressed in black today, and then touched the black masks on their faces.

The three Princes: ...

They certainly looked like they were going to break into the prison today.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud commotion erupted at the city gate.

Because the hanging took place on the city wall outside the city, Li Qingluo and the others could only see the people who had crowded outside the city gate early in the morning, and their expressions were all very interesting.

"Lotus Cult, get out of Daliang!"

"Lotus Cult, get out of Jinling City!"

"Lotus Cult, give me back my family's lives!"

"The Lotus Cult, give us back our peaceful and prosperous world!"

The young master Zong, who was originally standing at the foot of the wall, wanted to wait for the chaos to break out before escaping out of the city gate.

Princess Qinyu, who was on his back, suddenly struggled and fell off.

She leaned against the wall, seemingly unable to comprehend why these people so hated and despised the Lotus Sect, and stumbled as she walked out, still holding onto the wall.

Young Master Zong chased after her, but she pushed him away forcefully.

Taking advantage of this moment, Li Qingluo and the others saw that when Qin Yu turned around, half of her body was covered in blood...

It looks like if we don't get him to the hospital soon, he'll really die today.

Both Zhuiyu and Pofeng couldn't help but look at Li Qingluo.

Sure enough, it has to be a girl!

Li Qingluo: ?

She only regretted that her knife skills were not precise enough, and that she had not truly split Qin Yu in two.

Just then, countless rotten eggs and vegetable leaves began to be thrown at the city gate.

People vented their hatred for the Lotus Sect.

Suddenly, another uproar erupted.

Li Qingluo looked up and saw a figure fall down at the city gate, hanging there, swinging and struggling back and forth.

They just happened to run into the execution moment!

Even though Li Qingluo already knew that it wasn't the real Zheng Lingzhou, her heart still sank heavily.

I wonder if Aunt Zheng and Li Jingchuan will be thrown into a panic because of Zheng Lingzhou?

Princess Qinyu has been replaced, but do they know it?

Li Qingluo didn't care about Aunt Zheng, after all, she was also a minor leader of the Lotus Sect.

However, Li Qingluo still has some worries about Li Jingchuan.

He was still living in General Xiuli's mansion. If he insisted on risking his life to rescue his uncle, although with his small stature he probably wouldn't even be able to reach the city gate, Li Qingluo didn't want to involve herself and her grandmother because of him...

She wasn't ruthless enough.

Otherwise, Li Jingchuan shouldn't have been brought back, and there wouldn't have been any unnecessary trouble or worry.

Li Qingluo was only distracted for a moment before she saw that Princess Qinyu had already been pinned down by Young Master Zong.

Just then, a group of masked men in the crowd suddenly drew their swords and rushed towards the city wall. They were clearly members of the Lotus Sect who had been lying in wait among the people.

The people screamed in terror and scattered in all directions.

Upon seeing this, Young Master Zong immediately led Qin Yu into the crowd.

Li Qingluo, having overheard the conversation with Eunuch Wu, knew that these Lotus Cult members were merely sacrifices for the Lotus Cult, used only to deceive Emperor Yan.

Li Qingluo looked at Prince Su and gestured rapidly: "Your Highness, these Lotus Cult members are kept in the dark and may take advantage of the chaos to harm the common people. Why don't you take charge and tell them the truth to prevent further harm to innocent people..."

Duan Rongshi: "You know this is a fake Zheng Lingzhou?"

Li Qingluo then realized: he also knew it was fake.

Zhuiyu: "Miss, our Highness has already replaced the real Zheng Lingzhou. The Zheng Lingzhou that the Lotus Sect replaced is nothing more than a substitute."

Li Qingluo was stunned.

I see.

Sure enough, only he has this skill!

She had long ago confirmed that the misfortune that befell the Zheng family was related to the death of Consort Yue.

That's why Prince Su spared Zheng Lingzhou's life at Guanshui Cliff.

Is Prince Su's replacement of Zheng Lingzhou today because of this matter?

It remains to be seen, because once Prince Su arrived here and saw the Lotus Sect followers recklessly harming the people, he could not simply stand by and do nothing.

Li Qingluo also knew that she had to give up her pursuit of Princess Qinyu today.

That young master Zong escaped through this city gate with Princess Qinyu, and he really made the right gamble, managing to shake them off completely.

Duan Rongshi glanced at her apologetically.

It was as if he were saying: I misspoke, but I do have something more important to do first.

"Wait here for me, I'll be right back."

He settled Li Qingluo under a locust tree.

And will leave behind the chasing rain.

Then, with a swift stride, he walked towards the city gate. After removing his mask, which of the soldiers at the city gate did not recognize the renowned Prince Su?

Screams and carnage erupted outside the city.

Most of the people who came to the city gate today to watch the hanging were pitiful members of the Lotus Sect whose families had been harmed, and who came seeking a bit of pleasure and comfort.

There are children.

There were women, children, and the elderly.

And there are fathers and mothers who have lost their children...

Younger brother and younger sister, older brother and older sister.

Which one of them doesn't have a blood feud with the Lotus Sect?

So even though the Chunyanlou restaurant in the east of the city was ablaze today, they had no interest in it whatsoever.

They all arrived outside the city gate early in the morning, sat on the ground, and waited to see how the leader of the Lotus Sect would die.

But now, these broadswords are being swung at them once again.
