Chapter 146 Crying
Jin Huaer was angrily directing her men to put out the fire. When she heard a sound, she turned around and saw a man dressed in gorgeous clothes, who looked like a god of war from heaven.
She thought he was a new rich and powerful prostitute, and all her anger dissipated instantly. She greeted him with a flattering face: "Sir, I am really wronged. I am doing business properly--"
Pei Jingzhou grabbed her neck.
Jinhuaer suddenly exclaimed.
Seeing this, the thugs from Yihualou were about to step forward.
Pei Jing and others reached for the knives at their waists.
The thugs of Yihualou immediately realized that this group of people were powerful and none of them dared to act rashly.
Jinhua'er's face turned pale.
"Tell me, how many new people came to Yihualou today?" Pei Jingzhou's voice was calm, but anyone could hear the determination beneath his calmness, as if he was going to torture someone to death.
Jinhuaer had seen the world, but at this moment she felt cold to the very bones.
"Speak." Pei Jingzhou used force.
Jinhuaer could almost hear the sound of her bones breaking.
"Second Master." It was inconvenient to call Pei Jingzhou by his identity, so Qin Lu took a step forward and called out Pei Jingzhou's original identity, saying, "The situation is still unclear, so it's better not to hurt anyone."
Pei Jingzhou ignored everyone.
Qin Lu hurriedly said to Jin Huaer seriously, "If you want to live, tell the truth quickly."
Jin Huaer loved money, but she valued her life even more. She quickly said, "Three, three, three new people."
"Where?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
Jin Huaer told the truth: "In the backyard."
"Pei Jing, go and bring him out."
"Yes." Pei Jing responded quickly.
Jinhuaer quickly ordered someone to lead the way.
The fire had just reached the backyard.
Pei Jing took some effort and brought out two girls.
Not Jiang Zhaoyue.
Pei Jingzhou was filled with disappointment. He looked at Jin Huaer and asked, "Where's the other one?"
"Run, run." Jinhuaer asked.
"Where did you go?"
"I don't know either. I'm looking for it too."
Pei Jingzhou exerted force on his hands again.
"That girl has a capricious personality and behaves strangely. She clearly promised me that she would receive guests tonight, but when I turned around, she disappeared. I guess she was the one who set the fire in Yihua Tower." Jinhuaer was so angry that her teeth were itching.
This is Jiang Zhaoyue's style of doing things.
Pei Jingzhou asked hurriedly: "What's her name?"
Jin Huaer replied, "Thousand Flowers."
"Real name."
"I really don't know." The brothel doesn't even care about the girls' life or death, let alone their real names or pseudonyms. They just sell their bodies to make money.
Pei Jingzhou wanted to confirm further, so he asked, "What does she look like?"
"She was extremely beautiful, with almond-shaped eyes, a beautiful nose, a slender and tall figure, and dressed in tight clothes. She said her husband was ugly, fat, and old, and wanted to sell her to a wealthy businessman..."
It’s Zhaoyue!
It’s Jiang Zhaoyue!
Pei Jingzhou threw Jinhuaer away and immediately shouted, "Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"
Pei Jing, Qin Lu and others went up to put out the fire.
Jinhuaer lay on the ground, holding her neck with both hands, gasping for breath.
Half an hour later, the fire was under control.
Most of Yihua Tower was burned down.
In Yihua Tower, guests and girls stood in rows, looking disheveled and dusty.
Jin Huaer felt bad for her Yihualou, and at the same time she didn't know which immortal she had offended. She shivered and huddled in a corner. At this time, she saw the captain of the local army coming with the soldiers. She hurried forward and said, "Captain! I—"
The captain pushed her away and saluted Qin Lu.
Qin Lu ignored him.
The captain of the sergeants was waiting on the side.
Jin Huaer was terrified when she saw this. Could Qianhua be the concubine of some high-ranking official? Then she...
"Is everyone out?" Qin Lu looked at her and asked.
Jin Huaer had just ordered someone to count them and quickly replied, "There are still two who haven't come out yet."
"Which two?"
"One is Qianhua, the other is Xiaolu, they can't be..." Jinhuaer hadn't finished speaking when she suddenly felt a chill on her body. When she raised her eyes and saw the cold light shot towards her by Pei Jingzhou, she suddenly felt pain in her neck and dared not speak anymore.
Pei Jingzhou walked towards the remaining Yihua Tower.
"Second Master." Qin Lu chased after him.
"Even if we have to raze Yihua Tower to the ground, we must find the person!" Pei Jingzhou said coldly.
Qin Lu immediately ordered: "Come here, move Yihualou away."
"Yes." The captain and his entourage responded together.
Pei Jing saw that Jin Huaer and the others were idle, so he urged them to move together.
A stool, a tile, a pillar, etc. were all moved to the open space.
Pei Jingzhou kept moving. He was looking forward to finding Jiang Zhaoyue, but he was also afraid of finding her in the ruins.
Why?
Why does Jiang Zhaoyue always have so many disasters?
Last time on the Wishing Bridge, everyone else was rescued, but she had to go through so much pain; this time it was the same... Was he, as a husband, too negligent in his duty?
yes!
He is really derelict in his duty!
He kept promising to protect her, but time and again he let her feel wronged, hurt, and... He really deserved to die, really deserved to die. He tried his best to throw away all the mess.
He wanted to find Jiang Zhaoyue, wanted to find the lively Jiang Zhaoyue, to find the Jiang Zhaoyue who would do bad things to him, act coquettishly to him, and throw tantrums at him, to find the Jiang Zhaoyue who would kiss his cheek, bite his lips, and ride on him and not get off... But he couldn't find her.
Not found!
Not found!
The sky in the east was turning pale, and the entire Yihua Tower was almost flat. He still couldn't find Jiang Zhaoyue, and his body couldn't help but shake.
"Second Master." Qin Lu hurriedly supported him.
Pei Jingzhou looked around, his eyes full of pain.
Qin Lu hurriedly comforted her, "If you can't find her, it means Second Madam is fine."
"Master Qin is right. The fire at Yihua Tower didn't last long. It's impossible for anyone to be reduced to ashes." Pei Jing suddenly realized that he had said the words "burned to ashes" and immediately slapped his mouth. Then he said, "Second Madam is so smart. Maybe she escaped during the chaos."
"That's right." Qin Lu agreed.
Pei Jingzhou said nothing, feeling very sad.
"Let's look somewhere else." Qin Lu said.
Pei Jingzhou couldn't control himself and shouted towards the remaining Yihua Tower: "Zhaoyue!"
Qin Lu knew that he was sad, so he didn't disturb him. Instead, he rested the team and prepared to go somewhere else to find the Crown Princess.
Pei Jing turned around and was about to hand Jin Huaer and others over to the government when he suddenly heard a muffled voice saying "Jingzhou". He was startled and looked around but found nothing unusual. He thought he had heard it wrong and turned to look at Pei Jingzhou.
Pei Jingzhou, who seemed to have lost his soul just now, suddenly came back to life. He murmured: "Zhao Yue."
"Pei Jingzhou." Another voice.
Pei Jingzhou looked in the direction of the sound.
Under the dim light, Jiang Zhaoyue crawled out from the ground.
"Zhaoyue!" Pei Jingzhou strode forward and hugged Jiang Zhaoyue into his arms. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and quickly let her go. He looked at her and said, "It's hot."
"What's hot?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
"Are you hot?"
"What else?"
"You're not dead?"
"Getting promoted, getting rich, and having a dead wife, do you hope that after I die, you will find someone else--" Jiang Zhaoyue hadn't finished her words when she suddenly saw two bean-sized tears rolling down Pei Jingzhou's eyes. She couldn't help but be stunned.
