The music was pleasant and familiar, and Li Qingluo immediately remembered when and where he had heard it before.
The last time we came out of the Lisboa Casino, in that woods, when Zhui Yu appeared in the disguise of the Lotus Sect Leader, wasn’t it accompanied by this music?
However, what appeared at this time and place was definitely not Zhui Yu.
It can only be the real Lotus Sect Leader——
Is it her? Princess Qinyu!?
Li Qingluo quickly dragged Li Jingchuan into the bushes nearby.
She looked down at her white clothes, which were quite eye-catching even in the pitch black night.
She quickly pulled up Li Jingchuan's big black fur coat and hid herself inside it.
Lotus petals fell on her head, and Li Qingluo even breathed lightly as she watched a group of people dressed like fairies carrying a sedan chair fly past her...
After a long time, these people completely disappeared from sight, and Li Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief.
Although hiding was a bit cowardly, she knew that she alone was not strong enough to compete with these people, so she hid if possible, as her life was more important.
Suddenly, there was a sharp cough above his head. Li Qingluo looked up and his eyes met with Master Jingchuan's.
Master Jingchuan looked at her tenderly.
"Miss Li, you saved me again."
"But...I wonder if it's convenient for you to come out now?"
Only then did Li Qingluo remember that she was still hiding under his fur.
Her face flushed, and she quickly crawled out: "Sorry, I just had to act in a hurry, I was offended."
Jingchuan: "No problem. Cough, cough cough..."
Seeing him coughing uncontrollably, Li Qingluo thought: Fortunately, he didn't wake up just now, otherwise the two of them would have been exposed by now.
I wonder if the situation at Jingyun Villa will change because of Qinyu's arrival?
However, no matter what, Li Qingluo had no intention of joining in the fun.
Fortunately, after waiting for a while, the three assassins from the Night Killing Sect came back, protecting Nanny Deng and Butterfly.
Butterfly was slightly injured and fell on Aunt Deng's back, looking pitiful.
Because as soon as she smelled the scent of a man, she would bite people madly and uncontrollably, so Nanny Deng could only tie her to herself with cloth strips.
When Li Qingluo saw them, he quickly crawled out from the bushes.
"Madam Deng! Why isn't Master here?"
Nanny Deng panted, "Young lady, Mr. Nangong told you not to wait for him or worry about him. He knows how to get back to General Xiuli's mansion on his own."
Li Qing thought to himself: With Master's skills, it is not difficult to capture Zheng Wanxiu. I am afraid he will stay to help Prince Su.
"Oh right, but has Lotus Sect Leader gone there? What's the situation like over there now?"
Aunt Deng: "Young lady, you are right. Just now, the Lotus Sect Leader made a grand entrance, with petals flying everywhere, and a few Jade Envoys came down and killed people."
"But Mr. Nangong said that tonight it is His Royal Highness Prince Su who is disguised as Master Yue Wu and leading the troops. Even if the leader goes there, what can he do? Jingyun Mountain Villa cannot be saved."
"Girl, are we going to wait here, or...?"
Li Qingluo was unable to help with the subsequent matters.
Staying here might only cause more trouble, so he simply said, "Let's go! It's time to return to Jinling City."
The assassin carried Li Jingchuan on his back, and the group walked a few miles before the carriage sent by Old Lady Pei to pick them up arrived.
"Girl! Mr. Nangong, Old Deng!"
Nanny Zheng jumped off the carriage and waved excitedly.
At dawn, the carriage finally arrived outside the city of Jinling.
Before entering the city, they heard soldiers beating drums and gongs, announcing, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince has suppressed the bandits and destroyed the Lotus Cult's stronghold, Jingyun Mountain Villa—His Royal Highness the Second Prince has suppressed the bandits and destroyed the Lotus Cult's stronghold, Jingyun Mountain Villa—!"
Second prince?
Matron Deng: "The Second Prince is His Royal Highness the Deposed Crown Prince. Isn't he imprisoned in the Nanshan Villa?"
Li Qingluo: "What's even more strange is that this achievement shouldn't have been given to the deposed Crown Prince, so why did it fall on his head?"
Everything that happened last night was clearly planned by Duan Rongshi and me. Although Duan Rongshi didn't want to reveal his identity as Prince Su, the credit would never go to the deposed crown prince!
Li Qingluo couldn't figure it out for a moment. He didn't know what happened at Jingyun Villa last night...
The victorious soldiers marched into the city in a mighty procession.
There were also many Lotus followers who were captured alive and were all escorted behind.
The crowd was discussing enthusiastically, "I heard that this time they killed a Lotus Sect guardian, captured another alive, and two of the Lotus Sect leader's Jade Envoys also died."
"Is this true? I didn't expect the Second Prince to be so capable. He is truly wise and powerful!"
"That was the eldest son that the current emperor once valued the most. How could he not be powerful?"
"Although he was imprisoned for three years, I heard that he recently received His Majesty's forgiveness and grace. This time, he was originally going to go to the hunting grounds in person to hunt two prey for His Majesty and Prince Yun. However, when passing by Jingyun Villa, he unexpectedly discovered that it was the headquarters of the Lotus Cult. So he submitted a petition to the court, and this gave him the opportunity to lead the troops to personally suppress the bandits and make great contributions..."
"Then the deposed crown prince will return to Jinling again, right?"
"I heard that there will be a birthday banquet for His Royal Highness Prince Yun tomorrow, and he has been specially allowed to come back to celebrate his brother's birthday in person."
"His Royal Highness Prince Yun is blind in one eye, so it's only right that his legitimate brother should come back."
"What I'm saying is that the deposed crown prince might return to the court..."
"You dare to discuss state affairs so recklessly? Do you want to die?"
The crowd fell silent in an instant.
