Chapter 330 One slash killed Mother Hua!
Gasps and gasps of surprise rose from the audience below.
Neither Nangong Di nor Wu De recognized Li Qingluo, who was disguised as a pimp, for a moment; they only felt that this young man was quite brave and reckless.
However, Li Qingluo did not possess the skill of light-footed kung fu.
So she just charged out with sheer willpower.
Fortunately, she managed to catch the bloodied sparrow and grabbed the rope above the sparrow's head with one hand.
Li Qingluo raised his broadsword and immediately cut the ropes, causing the master and servant to plummet straight down—
Mother Flower cried out in surprise and was dragged away by the steward.
Li Qingluo rolled to the ground with Que'er in her arms, and as she landed, she tried her best to cushion her fall.
Que'er cried and shook her head anxiously. Li Qingluo knew at a glance that Que'er could no longer speak!
Her anger erupted instantly, and she grabbed a large knife and lunged at Mother Flower.
Mother Flower cried out in alarm, "Protect me! Protect me—someone come here!!"
The thugs who had already run upstairs jumped down again, brandishing knives, and charged towards Li Qingluo with menacing expressions.
Li Qingluo still had the torn curtains on her arms.
She tore down the curtain and threw it to the left to block the incoming swords.
She continued to slash at Mother Flower.
The person in charge was also quite skilled; he grabbed a weapon and confronted Li Qingluo.
Enraged, Li Qinglu unleashed her full martial prowess, capturing the man in just a few moves. As the thugs from Chunyanlou pounced, she shoved him towards the swords and knives.
With a soft "pfft."
The steward died with his eyes open.
The patrons and courtesans who witnessed the killing scene again were completely terrified.
Instantly, the entire lobby descended into complete chaos: screams, frantic running, pushing, and shouting.
The fire was growing larger and larger, spreading towards the second floor.
At this moment, in a heavily guarded courtyard in the back garden of Chunyanlou.
Princess Qinyu had just dismissed Qinling when her subordinate rushed in to report: "Your Highness, something terrible has happened—there's a fire in the main hall, and a young pimp jumped out and saved that Li family maid!"
Qin Yu immediately perked up: "Foolish! This pimp must be Li Qingluo!"
"As expected, I guessed right. She's a fool with a saintly heart, and she'll definitely come back to save her two servants."
The maids lowered their heads slightly upon hearing this.
Isn't this a sign of loyalty and righteousness?
Princess Qinyu immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing.
She immediately changed her tune: "Of course, if I were to encounter you, I would also act like a fool."
The maids then smiled.
"Your Highness, you are wise and insightful, and you will certainly not let us fall into danger. Even if we do, we are willing to die rather than become a burden to Your Highness!"
Qinyu nodded in satisfaction at their loyalty.
"I know you are kind, but dealing with a brainless country girl like her doesn't require much effort at all."
"Go, let Mama Hua and the others focus on putting out the fire first. As for Li Qingluo, you two go and bring her back to me personally!"
"She actually dared to try to escape! Today, I will make her regret it to the fullest!"
Qin Yu slammed her hand on the table, feeling confident that she had captured Li Qingluo.
The main hall of Chunyanlou Restaurant.
The smoke was getting thicker and thicker.
The majority of the staff at Chunyanlou had to be diverted to fighting the fire.
They also sent people to report to the authorities with gongs and drums, requesting the arrival of a firefighting team.
Otherwise, the entire Chunyanlou restaurant might not have survived today!
Li Qinglu didn't care about all that.
She wanted all the people in charge of Chunyanlou to die—
She swung her sword at Flower Mother again, but Flower Mother was already surrounded by four thugs.
Facing four opponents alone, Li Qingluo was already finding it quite difficult.
She gritted her teeth and held the broadsword to the ground, ignoring the men rushing towards her from the right.
However, at that moment, a sword swung out from the middle, neatly separating the people who were about to pierce Li Qingluo.
This person was none other than Young Master Zong, who had been imprisoned.
Although he was masked, Li Qingluo recognized him at a glance.
She was taken aback, not understanding why this person would suddenly jump out to help her.
But Li Qingluo didn't have time to think about it anymore. She took a breath and continued to use the moves her master had taught her to counterattack the people in front of her. She continued to attack aggressively, and finally knocked them all to the ground!
Nangong Di, who had been watching the commotion through the gap, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Luo'er?"
Nangong Di rushed over, his face filled with a mixture of joy and alarm: "Luo'er—is that you?"
Nangong Di roared, and Li Qingluo turned her head at the sound.
The person behind him seized the opportunity to thrust his sword, but Nangong Di drew his blade and flew away—splitting the sword in two.
"Luo'er!"
Nangong Di happily came over and grabbed Li Qingluo.
"Master has been searching for you for so long!"
"Master knew that Luo'er was lucky and would survive."
"Luo'er, what's wrong?"
Nangong Di finally realized that Li Qingluo was just looking at him, opening her mouth but not speaking.
Nangong Di's heart sank.
At this moment, Li Qingluo could not explain to him, so she could only anxiously point to Que'er, who was still lying on the ground, and Deng Mama, who was seriously injured and had been kicked to the corner and could not get up.
Nangong Di's expression changed drastically, and he finally realized: "It's them?"
Li Qinglu nodded with tears in her eyes.
She gestured with her hands: "Master, please save them first!"
Nangong Di couldn't understand sign language, but he still patted Li Qingluo's head and quickly said, "Master understands what you mean."
"Luo'er, just do what you want to do!"
"Your master is behind you, go!"
With red eyes, Li Qing nodded emphatically to Nangong Di.
She never expected to reunite with her master here.
However, now is certainly not the time for reminiscing.
She raised her knife and looked at Mother Flower, who had already hidden in the crowd.
Li Qingluo rushed forward, and because of her aggressive manner, people quickly cleared a path for her from behind and to her sides.
So she quickly rushed to Mother Flower's side.
"What...what do you want to do?"
"Stop her! Stop her now—!"
However, Li Qingluo grabbed her in one go.
Just then, two masked maids burst out of the fire.
"stop!"
"Li Qingluo, what do you want to do?"
"You should know what will happen to you if you kill someone!"
"Don't do anything stupid."
"Our master is willing to give you another chance to reform, so don't be ungrateful!"
"You need to know your place and your own worth. If you incur your master's wrath, you might suffer even a fraction of the consequences—"
Li Qingluo sneered silently and plunged a knife into Hua Mama's stomach.
With a scream, Mother Hua was shoved into the raging fire by Li Qingluo.
Li Qingluo turned to look at the two maids again and took the initiative to draw her sword and slash at them.
Nangong Di had already cleared a section, but seeing the fire growing larger, he quickly turned back to save Que'er and Granny Deng.
Young Master Zong drew his sword and charged over, joining Li Qingluo in exchanging blows with the two highly skilled maids.
After a few moves, the two maids were greatly surprised!
Although Li Qingluo's martial arts skills are not as good as theirs, she is by no means the kind of person she appears to be in front of His Highness, just a pretty face with no substance!
The maidservant roared in fury: "Li Qingluo! How dare you deceive your master! You're asking for death!"
Faced with threats and anger, Li Qingluo remained undaunted.
Even her anger was greater and more intense than theirs, more intense than the flames!
However, after only a few more moves, thick smoke had completely filled the entire Chunyanlou lobby.
Seeing that Que'er and Granny Deng were no longer there, Li Qingluo quickly turned around and ran towards the backyard.
She has no desire to escape from Chunyanlou now.
escape?
If they escape, they will never have the chance to avenge the fact that they, the three of them, were bullied like dogs!
The two maids and Young Master Zong all followed her.
By this time, most of the people in the lobby had already left, and only a number of men and women on the second and third floors were still coming out of their rooms, their clothes disheveled, to investigate the situation.
However, the fire had already been extinguished in front of the door.
There was absolutely no way to escape.
Many people returned to their rooms and, in order to survive, had no choice but to jump out of the windows.
Although people point fingers and gossip, at least they can still survive.
At this moment, outside the Spring Banquet Pavilion.
It wasn't just the firefighters who arrived.
The Prince Su's men also arrived.
Prince Su jumped off his horse, and Zhuiyu and the others followed closely behind.
A young man, reeking of alcohol and with swollen eyes, staggered and clutched his head, saying, "Your Highness, Prince Su, that Eunuch Wu is the subject I found here."
"He sent a message to you through his ministers. He said that the person Your Highness cherishes is in this Spring Banquet Pavilion, and that Your Highness must come immediately—"
But he himself didn't come out—
"vomit--"
Because the horse race was too intense, the man turned around and finally vomited.
However, when he looked up again, there was no sign of Prince Su and the three guards.
The man was so moved that his eyes filled with tears.
"Who said that His Highness Prince Su is a cruel and ruthless killer? He is clearly such a loyal and righteous master!"
"They risked their lives for a eunuch, sob sob, I'm so touched..."
"Hey? Who is the person that Eunuch Wu is talking about, the one His Highness loves...?"
A passerby said, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Those guys went into that alley over there!"
...
Duan Rongshi leaped into the backyard of Chunyanlou.
Several shadowy figures, who were secretly watching, rushed towards the top of the wall.
Po Feng and Zhui Yu drew their swords and rushed forward, while Leng Dian and Duan Rongshi entered Chun Yan Lou without looking back.
The fire at Chunyanlou Restaurant was completely out of control.
Moreover, the fire had now spread to the backyard and even the garden.
It seems that the Chunyanlou, which once resounded throughout Daliang and was the object of countless romantic pursuits, a place of bustling music and throngs of guests, is now about to be completely destroyed.
All of this was naturally the work of Li Qingluo and Eunuch Wu.
Li Qingluo kept everyone she could entangle, while Eunuch Wu sent a young master from a prominent family to the Prince Su's residence to deliver a message. He then secretly knocked down all the lampstands he could, and secretly lit all the flammable things in the corners several times.
Seeing that the entire Chunyanlou restaurant had been completely engulfed in flames, Leng Dian couldn't help but feel anxious and worried: "Your Highness, will the young lady and Eunuch Wu be alright?"
"If they haven't left Chunyan Tower yet, I wonder where they would be now?"
The main building was engulfed in flames, making it impossible for anyone to enter.
The garden was filled with choking smoke, making it an unsuitable place to linger.
Duan Rongshi looked ahead, knowing that Qin Yu was hiding there.
"Walk!"
Without hesitation, he strode quickly toward that direction...
