Chapter 293 Young Master Jingchuan, who exactly are you?
Li Qingluo sleeps on a makeshift bed on the floor with Butterfly at night, and spends her days practicing boxing moves in her room to strengthen her body.
Several times, Granny Deng thought of sleeping on the floor, but Li Qingluo pressed her down each time.
Li Qingluo even got angry: "If you don't lie down obediently, I won't let you go back to Zizaiju!"
Granny Deng: "But this old servant is just a lowly servant. How can I, a humble person, lie down in front of you, young lady, and let you sleep on the floor? This old servant cannot bear it..."
Li Qingluo: "Normally it would be fine, but your injuries haven't healed yet, and I can't rest easy if you're lying on the ground. So, right now, is your anxiety more important, or mine?"
Granny Deng naturally couldn't argue with Li Qingluo's reasoning.
The three were locked in this room for seven or eight days.
Although five meals were delivered every day, and each meal was filled with lavish meat and fish, Zheng Lingzhou could never have imagined that because there was an edible butterfly in the room, every plate he ordered to be delivered would end up being taken out completely empty.
The butterfly was very satisfied with its food every day.
Seeing that Granny Deng was getting better day by day, Li Qingluo also felt much better herself.
However, Zheng Lingzhou's decision to keep her locked up without taking any further action left Li Qinglu somewhat puzzled.
Besides getting her health back in order, could there be some other problem with him?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have disappeared for several days without showing up or revealing any intentions.
It seems he wanted to do something, but things didn't go as he hoped.
Zheng Lingzhou's side did indeed run into trouble.
Besides the fact that there has been no news of the Yun Gu Sect Leader for several days, Li Jingchuan has also disappeared.
Zheng Lingzhou and Zheng Wanxiu dispatched countless people to search for him, but they could not find any trace of him.
Zheng Wanxiu paced anxiously, "A-Zhou, do you think Xiao Chuan might do something rash? Is he doing this just to force us to release Qu's daughter? What if he really does something stupid?"
Zheng Lingzhou clenched his fists anxiously, his entire body tense.
"Sister, don't panic. He abandoned his entourage and all the people we sent to protect him; he really intends to hide from us."
"I know his personality."
“He really wants to force us to release Luo’er, otherwise he probably wouldn’t have shown up and come back on his own initiative.”
Zheng Wanxiu: "But with his health, how can he take care of himself outside by himself? He has been unable to withstand even a slight breeze since childhood, let alone what if he encounters some bad people?"
When it comes to her son, even the usually sassy Zheng Wanxiu becomes fussy and nagging.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, and Zheng Lingzhou couldn't bear to see it.
"Sister, I'll think of something."
Zheng Lingzhou personally opened Li Qingluo's door.
His face was gloomy as he looked up at the energetic Li Qingluo. A surge of hatred flashed through his mind when he thought of Li Jingchuan's frail body since childhood.
However, he knew that none of this was Luo'er's fault.
Li Qingluo had already suffered enough because of her birth mother's sins.
But Zheng Lingzhou just couldn't see her as completely innocent...
She can at least turn her life around and have a bright and promising future.
What about Jingchuan?
If it weren't for him and his sister forcibly saving his life several times, he would have been a handful of bones in the yellow earth long ago!
But now that Jingchuan is willing to give up his life for this younger sister, what does all that he and his sister have worked so hard to build up mean?
Zheng Lingzhou even abandoned the tiny bit of feeling he had in his heart.
"Come out, and I'll let you leave."
He said coldly with a stern face.
Li Qingluo was surprised: "You're going to let me go?"
Is he sick?
Was it just to lure her here and then lock her up for a few days?
No, something must have happened to him that forced him to release her.
Li Qingluo narrowed her eyes, turned around and sat down: "I'm not leaving."
Zheng Lingzhou: "You're not leaving? Luo'er, do you think I'm joking?"
Li Qingluo: "Then what do you mean? You just let me come and go as you please? Zheng Lingzhou, didn't you keep saying you had something to say to me and wanted me to leave with you... Now that I'm here, all you're doing is locking me in this room."
Do you really think I, Li Qingluo, am a fool who can be easily fooled?
Her gaze was sharp and cold as she stared at him, piercing straight into his heart.
Li Qingluo's voice grew colder and colder: "If you don't explain yourself clearly, you won't be able to repeat this mistake again next time."
Zheng Lingzhou: "He is your half-brother."
“I originally wanted to take you to see him so that you and your brother could be reunited, but he hates your general’s mansion even more than I thought.”
So, he left.
"If I keep you locked up, it will naturally lose its meaning."
"Aren't you happy that I let you leave safely? If you upset my elder sister again, you might never be able to leave Jingyun Manor!"
Since things had come to this point, Li Qingluo could only regretfully be escorted out of Jingyun Manor with Granny Deng and Butterfly.
Zheng Lingzhou stood on the steps, watching her get into the carriage from afar, his eyes growing colder and colder.
He certainly wouldn't really let her leave.
It was just a performance put on for Li Jingchuan's benefit.
The next time he catches her, he will be much more careful in locking her up, Li Qingluo, so that Xiao Chuan will never know that they have captured his sister...
Zheng Lingzhou curled his lips into a smile and instructed the person beside him, "Follow her."
"Bring her back to me after we travel twenty miles."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Send more people."
At this moment, watching Jingyun Manor recede into the distance behind her, Li Qingluo was not completely at ease.
In front of the carriage was an old coachman, personally arranged by Zheng Lingzhou, who was clearly a very skilled martial artist.
Even Zheng Mama, whose injuries had mostly healed, shook her head at Li Qingluo; she was no match for this old man.
The butterfly chirped a few times, and Li Qingluo then removed the cloth from her mouth.
When she came out, Butterfly was only allowed to take away after her mouth was stuffed and her hands were tied.
But now that its mouth is free, the butterfly begins to bar its teeth and growl, once again appearing ready to pounce.
"You are no match for him."
"Behave yourself."
Li Qinglu glared at Butterfly, knowing she was agitated and restless, but she wouldn't let Butterfly go out to die.
"Don't worry, it'll be quick."
Li Qinglu gave Deng Mama a wink, knowing that Zheng Lingzhou would never let her leave easily, so she told Deng Mama to be ready to help her at any time.
Sure enough, just a few miles away, the carriage suddenly trembled slightly.
Li Qingluo immediately lifted a crack in the carriage curtain and looked out.
Seeing the old coachman in front of the carriage get up and fly out, he was already entangled with a dark figure.
Judging from the old coachman's skills, he was indeed a martial arts master.
However, the person who came to help Li Qingluo was no ordinary person either. After several dozen rounds, the old man was slammed to the ground.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Granny Deng pounced out and killed the old coachman with a single blow.
"Please forgive me, young lady, Pofeng is late."
The shadowy figure pulled down his mask, revealing his true face; it was none other than Po Feng, who had come to meet him.
For the past few days, Po Feng has been lurking inside Jingyun Manor.
Moreover, it wasn't just Po Feng; there were also several assassins from the Night Slayer Sect whom Li Qingluo had never met before.
Their original plan was to wait for Zheng Lingzhou to reveal his true colors before exposing his conspiracy, and then take over the entire Jingyun Manor.
However, things don't always go as planned, and Zheng Lingzhou suddenly kicked the three of them, mistress and servants, out of the manor.
Therefore, Po Feng has led a group of people to meet Li Qingluo. Regardless of whether Zheng Lingzhou is really letting her go today or just pretending to let her leave temporarily, Li Qingluo will not return to Jingyun Manor today.
Li Qingluo looked at the rustling forest, "Not too late, just right. Break the wind, let's continue forward."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the carriage clattered loudly.
Po Feng immediately drew his sword and shouted, "Who's there?! Show yourself!"
Someone threw stones at the carriage, so this person must have just witnessed them murdering the old coachman.
Li Qingluo's expression also changed. However, since this person was nearby, how come Po Feng didn't notice him at first?
Furthermore, why would he deliberately provoke them and expose his own existence?
"Cough, cough cough cough..."
“I didn’t mean to… but you’ve killed someone… if we don’t dispose of the body first, they’ll quickly discover our weakness…”
Upon hearing the voice, Li Qingluo looked closer and saw that the person who came out was tightly covered by a thick fur-lined cotton coat, making it difficult for him to walk.
Was it him?
"Young Master Jingchuan, what are you doing here?"
"Just now you..."
Jingchuan smiled slightly at Li Qingluo and cupped his hands, saying, "Miss Li, I didn't expect... that we would meet again so soon."
Even though Po Feng knew the two of them, he did not completely lower his guard.
All of this is just too much of a coincidence.
"girl?"
The meaning of "破风" is to kill someone to silence them and prevent future troubles.
Li Qinglu shook her head.
She felt an inexplicable sense of closeness and affection for this young master Jingchuan, so she didn't want to kill him.
Moreover, she felt that perhaps he really meant no harm, and this encounter was truly an accident.
Po Feng could only follow Li Qingluo's instructions.
"Who exactly are you? What is your intention in stepping forward and saying those words?"
Despite Po Feng's imposing presence, Jing Chuan remained calm: "I was just kindly reminding you all."
"Now that you have killed the coachman, if you want to leave Jingyun Manor completely, you should change your direction and leave."
"Cough, cough..."
However, Po Feng had already brought a large sword horizontally across him.
"I can't let you leave. Get in the carriage!"
Li Qingluo also knew that Pofeng was acting out of caution; before the matter was accomplished, this person really couldn't run around anymore.
Otherwise, if they ruined their important plans, even if they had a past relationship, Li Qingluo wouldn't be able to save his life.
Li Qingluo could only wrong Butterfly by tying her hands and gagging her mouth again.
Even so, the butterfly's gaze still frightened Jingchuan.
"she……"
Li Qingluo explained, "She was born with a disease and cannot be seen by men."
At such close range, the butterfly was so uncomfortable that it writhed wildly in the corner.
Jingchuan could only try his best to move closer to the door...
After quickly burying the old coachman's body, Po Feng put on the old coachman's straw hat, flicked his whip, and continued driving the carriage.
He naturally wouldn't listen to Jingchuan's suggestion, but instead led a carriage full of people and sped forward along the old coachman's route.
Li Qingluo looked at Li Jingchuan with some curiosity.
How did you know I had just left Jingyun Manor?
"Given Young Master Jingchuan's physique, he couldn't have come all the way with me, could he?"
"So, who exactly are you?"
