Chapter 27: Brother kills sister and flees, all out
After Xiao Qinggu and Xiaoman escaped from the City Lord's Mansion, they ran around everywhere. Shang Yuwan and the others also received the news.
"Master, sir, the fifth princess has escaped from the City Lord's Mansion and is in the southeast direction."
Shang Yuwan and Xiao Qingxu looked at each other and told Lou Ke to go back and continue watching the City Lord's Mansion.
Shang Yuwan called Lu Heying over and asked him to bring some people to find Xiao Qinggu and follow her to avoid any accidents.
"what's on your mind?"
Shang Yuwan stood by the window, half-opened it, and frowned, "What on earth does the prince want to do?"
Xiao Qingxu stood beside her and said, "He wants to lead us out."
"As soon as we entered the city, someone would undoubtedly report us to him. Since he already had the princess in his hands, why didn't he just come and kill us? Why bother with all that unnecessary effort?"
As the sky grew darker and the rain became heavier, an idea flashed through Shang Yuwan's mind and he suddenly grabbed the windowsill.
"If we cared about the princess's safety, we would definitely go out and look for someone. The rain is getting heavier, and the flooding in Luzhou City is increasing. The west and north of the city will definitely be affected, not to mention that the southeastern part of Luzhou City is already on the verge of being flooded. We have the right time, place, and people. Is he trying to use this opportunity to kill the Fifth Princess?"
Xiao Qingxu was slightly shocked when he heard this. "Disguised as one of ours to hunt down the Fifth Princess?"
Ji Suxian pushed the door open at this time and asked, "What happened? Why did Senior Brother run away secretly?"
"You've come just in time, Ji Suxian. Call Bai Xiaoye, Cheng Yishui, and Ju Gongcheng. The four of you and the other guests will guard the owner of the building. No mistakes can be made."
After Shang Yuwan finished speaking, he took a few steps, picked up the two swords on the table, put them behind his waist, put on a hat to cover his face, and immediately got up to leave.
Xiao Qingxu couldn't even pull on a corner of her clothes.
Ji Suxian quickly grabbed Shang Yuwan's left arm and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Go find the princess. Nothing can happen to her."
Shang Yuwan still had some patience.
Ji Suxian's hand was tightly grasped. "You're going alone? Are you looking for death?!"
"The deputy building owner is here too, so we'll be fine. Let go quickly, or something unexpected might happen if we delay!" Shang Yuwan pulled his left arm but couldn't pull it open.
Ji Suxian wanted to say something, but Xiao Qingxu slowly said, "Let go."
Ji Suxian looked at him in disbelief.
Xiao Qingxu nodded, "Let her go."
"......OK."
Ji Suxian loosened his hand, and Shang Yuwan disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Aren't you worried at all?"
There was a hint of anger on Ji Suxian's face.
Xiao Qingxu leaned against the window, his voice beneath the mask helpless, "Let her go."
"She should be here by now."
Ji Suxian didn't understand: "Who? Who's coming?"
Xiao Qingxu didn't say anything. She suddenly thought of someone.
"Owner."
Bai Xiaoye climbed in through the window with a serious expression on his face.
"The innkeeper and the waiter have fainted, and half of the people in the inn have followed Lord Shang."
"Looking at the situation, it seems that they are really all the prince's men."
Ji Su was about to speak angrily, but Xiao Qingxu interrupted her calmly.
"Stay here with me."
"She knows her limits. Nothing will happen to her."
Ji Suxian was furious. "Are you so confident? Even if she arrives, her shoulder injury hasn't healed yet. Who knows, there might be several waves of people chasing them secretly..."
Ji Suxian suddenly fell silent.
Xiao Qingxu smiled bitterly, "She wants to go out, isn't it just to divert some people for us?"
"She knows I'm more mortal than she is."
The few of them fell silent, and suddenly there were a few slight clanging sounds outside the door.
It was Cheng Yishui, who was guarding the door, who drew his sword, and Ju Gongcheng, who was with him, also held a sword in his hand.
The expressions of the people in the room turned cold, and Xiao Qingxu's voice was as cold as winter frost: "Kill them all."
Bai Xiaoye asked Ji Suxian to stay by Xiao Qingxu's side, then walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
"The owner of the building has given an order." Bai Xiaoye was full of murderous intent. Cheng Yishui and Ju Gongcheng beside him, the guests upstairs, and the enemies downstairs were also full of murderous intent.
The bean-sized raindrops fell into the danger-ridden city of Luzhou, making people terrified.
"Kill them all."
Before he finished speaking, blood splattered everywhere.
When Shang Yuwan came out, she deliberately pretended that the situation was urgent and she only had time to disguise herself simply. She knew that as soon as she came out, a series of people would follow her.
She pretended to lead the group of people around in circles a few times, and then ran directly towards Lu Heying. The people behind her naturally thought that they had not been discovered, and all followed her secretly.
The moment Lu Heying saw Shang Yuwan and the group of people following her, her heart skipped a beat.
Something happened to Ah Xu?!
Shang Yuwan gave him a look, and Lu Heying felt a little relieved.
The two pretended not to notice the people behind them, and the other guests also turned a blind eye to it.
"How can we defeat them if so many of them come here?" Lu Heying realized they were from the inn and asked Shang Yuwan in a low voice. The two of them lay on the roof tiles, "What are you going to do?"
Lu Heying reminded quietly: "When I brought Lou Ke here, there was a group of people secretly following the princess!"
Shang Yuwan responded softly: "If I'm not mistaken, these two groups are the prince's men, and they are not just here to kill us."
This confused Lu Heying, "He also wants to kill the princess?"
Shang Yuwan stared at Xiao Qinggu and Xiaoman who were hiding in the corners of the house under the tiles. The house had been empty for a long time, and the rain was getting heavier. If they waited any longer, the house would be flooded.
"The group you mentioned working in secret should have the Baijialou logo on their weapons or swords."
Lu Heying knew that none of Baijialou's weapons would be engraved with the Baijialou logo, so as to prevent people from discovering that it was Baijialou who did it.
He immediately understood what Shang Yuwan meant.
"We have to pretend to be us and kill the princess!"
Shang Yuwan didn't say anything else, staring at Xiao Qinggu and Xiaoman who were hugging each other under the roof.
In her previous life, she had only met this princess who had been missing for many years a few times and did not know much about her. She only vaguely heard that this princess liked to run around outside and liked to follow the people to learn how to grow vegetables, carrying hoes and shovels.
Shang Yuwan narrowed his eyes.
Now it seems that the princess must have discovered that someone was staring at her, or even following her. After all, she had been traveling for many years, and it was impossible for her to be like a fool and not notice anything.
But this is not enough, those people will take action sooner or later.
Someone in the dark moved the knife in his hand. A cold light flashed in Shang Yuwan's eyes, and the word "hundred" passed by in an instant. She suddenly made a gesture to Lu Heying.
Lu Heying understood what was going on when he saw it. He turned around and made the same gesture to the other guests hiding in the dark: "Let's take advantage of the chaos later to exchange knives with the group of people following the princess."
This gesture was created by their Baijialou. The other two groups didn't understand what it meant, but they were all on high alert.
At this time, Xiao Qinggu quietly stretched her head out and looked around, but Xiaoman was pressed down by her so tightly that she couldn't move at all.
Xiao Qinggu shrank back in a flash, and Shang Yu and Lu Heying could only see the back of her wet head.
"Xiaoman, I remember you know some martial arts!" Xiao Qinggu pressed Xiaoman's shoulders with a firm look on his face.
She whispered, "Listen, this place is about to flood, we can't stay here anymore."
"I'll run out later, and you run the other way. Do you understand? You can't look for the prince. You absolutely can't! Steal a horse and run back to Kyoto, or go to Dingzhou City, or Yuecheng!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Xiaoman was anxious. "Xiaoman will help you lead them away! Your Highness, please run away!"
Xiao Qinggu naturally couldn't agree.
Her good second brother got the news from somewhere that she had come to Luzhou City to rescue the people, so all the silver and food she sent were confiscated. A lot of manpower was used to catch this loach, and no matter how she begged, she never let go.
Now that she can escape from the City Lord's Mansion so easily with this little trick full of loopholes, who knows, she might be used to lure someone. Even if she can't see the person following her secretly, she will not let her guard down so easily.
Xiao Qinggu knew that he couldn't ask anyone for help now. If he did, he would bring murderous intent to others. Now he could only ask Xiaoman to escape first. As many survivors as possible!
Seeing Xiaoman was determined not to do anything, Xiao Qinggu slapped her lightly and said, "Wake up! I asked you to go to my fiefdom to get reinforcements, not to be a deserter! If you want to treat me as your master, then listen to me!"
Xiaoman was in tears and wanted to say something, but Xiao Qinggu was furious. "If you dare not listen to me, I will have you beaten to death when I return to Kyoto!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qinggu saw that the time was almost up, so he said "You must stay alive" and stood up and rushed out.
She ran and shouted, "I am Xiao Qinggu, the fifth princess of Dayu! You bunch of rotten-hearted bitches! I'm here!"
In an instant, dozens of men in black holding knives came out in droves, and the word "hundred" was engraved on the blades of each knife.
Shang Yuwan and Lu Heying's expressions changed at the same time, "Do it!"
All the people who had followed Shang Yuwan also appeared, and flew forward with their weapons, "Catch them all!"
