Lady Su’s Revenge

Chapter 303 Luoyue City

Let’s leave the reaction in Imperial Palace for the time being aside and go back to the day when Luo Yichen left Tantai City.

Qu Qingning and others followed Luo Yichen all the way, and finally arrived at a provincial capital before sunset. Tianji Country implemented the same county system as Dahan Country. It was only a day’s ride from Tantai City, which should be the nearest provincial capital to the national capital.

“Luoyue City?”

Qu Qingning pulled the reins and stopped the horse. Looking up, he saw two big black stone words mottled with wind and frost were still clear. He said excitedly, “Brother Luo, is this your hometown?”

It seemed that Luo Yichen didn’t hear Qu Qingning’s words. Looking at the ancient city in the sunset, he was stunned and did not answer. His indifferent face was the same as Fang Yuan’s, showing a strong complexity.

“Brother Luo?”

Qu Qingning wanted to ask again, but was held by Fang Mu. Fang Mu whispered, “Brother Qu, I think Brother Luo is very sad, so, don’t disturb him.”

“Tut-tut!”

Qu Qingning raised his eyebrows and couldn’t help murmuring, “Man should be ambitious. If you don’t accept it, do it. How can you have complex thoughts? Can you practice faster only by doing this?”

Fang Mu almost laughed. In the past two years, Brother Qu had been struggling with the progress of cultivation. No matter how he pursued, he was still slower than Eldest Brother and Brother Luo. Maybe the fates conspired against him.

Luo Yichen had been back to his senses when they were talking in a low voice. He took a look at one of the notices on the side of the city gate, which was so broken that he couldn’t see the man’s face. After a moment of silence, he finally said, “Let’s… go in.”

“Let’s go. Brother Luo, don’t think so much. We can rely on Su Li. What else do you need to worry about? I’m really tired of running all the way. Let’s find an inn to have a rest.”

Qu Qingning gave the horses to Fang Mu, and walked with his arms around Luo Yichen towards the city. Because of his performance, Luo Yichen’s boredom disappeared a lot. He immediately forced a smile and let Qu Qingning lead him into the city.

“Brother Qu is really good at bossing people.”

When they were far away, Fang Mu whispered, and then gave the horses to Yun Yi. He ran to the bulletin board and looked for a long time, but didn’t see clearly the man’s face.

“Well, since I’ve come here, I’m sure I can know a lot about Brother Luo’s past. I don’t need to worry.”

Fang Mu clapped his hands and went into the city quickly, leaving Yun Yi behind. Yun Yi had no choice but to lead four horses.

“Miss’s friends have exceptional ability among people, but their temperaments are really…”

Yun Yi shook his head, gave all the horses to other guards of Yunge Sect, and then followed them.

He didn’t mean to be lazy! The people in front of him were penniless. If he didn’t catch up with them, they would make some jokes when they went to the inn.

Although Luoyue City was not as prosperous as Tantai City, it was not a lonely place either. With the arrangement of Yun Yi, people soon settled down in a decent inn. After putting their luggage, 13 people went downstairs to find three tables to sit down. The food was not prepared yet. Qu Qingning could easily get all the recent events in the city from the surrounding conversation of the diners.

“A fat man at least 150 kilograms killed his own wife by lying above her when they got married. They had a lawsuit! My god!”

“Wow, the poor scholar was nurtured by the rich woman of a cloth workshop because of his appearance? Handsome people can do whatever they want. Luckily, I’m handsome, too!”

When Qu Qingning was listening to others, he said so narcissistically. Due to his loud voice, the diners around him glanced at him strangely one after another.

The guards of Yunge Sect who didn’t have too much contact with him had no choice but to sit further. Fang Mu and Yun Yi had no surprise. They had learned to be cheeky from Qu Qingning, waiting for the meal, and they didn’t care about anything else.

After a while, the hot meal finally came to the table. Qu Qingning saw that and finally stopped talking to himself and began to eat and drink. After his playing, Luo Yichen smiled lightly. He wanted to taste the delicious food of his hometown, which had been away from him for many years. The conversation of the table next to him made he stop chopsticks completely.

“Have you heard about the Luo Family?”

“You’re too late to get the news. When it’s your turn to tell us the news, maybe the Miss of the Luo Family have been married!”

“It’s really miserable for the Luo Family. Originally, the merchant aristocratic family was excellent, and there could have been a martial arts champion in the Luo Family soon. But because the young Master took a fancy to Luo Yingying’s beauty, the Luo Family got ruined…”

“Shh! You dare to talk about him. Aren’t you afraid to die?”

The scholar who was warned felt unpleasant and said, “It’s nothing, because he was dead. I’m just talking about it. Can I make trouble?”

Slurping —

Qu Qingning took a sip of soup and swallowed the food in his mouth. He was slightly surprised and whispered, “Brother Luo? What those two people said just now is…”

Luo Yichen put down his chopsticks and the relaxed expression on his face disappeared. The gate was suddenly kicked open when he was about to stand up. Then a group of servants in standard clothes came in!

The fat leading servant dressed more delicately. He seemed to be a subchief. His fat face was shaking and his small eyes were scanning the scene. Suddenly, his eyes fixed on the scholar who had just talked. He grinned hideously,

“Young man, you dare to make a rumor on the He Family’s territory. Do you think your life is too long? Arrest him and take him back for punishment!”

The scholar immediately panicked and tried to run away, but he was no match for the warrior. Soon, his face was pressed in the plates on the table, and he was unable to move. Drinks and dishes fell all over the floor.

“Spare me! I’m just saying it casually, not intentionally!”

The voice of the scholar was indistinct. When the macho man saw this situation, he pressed him annoyedly hard. The scholar immediately screamed and could not speak.

The rest of the diners gathered in panic, as if they could be safer.

The fat servant came and laughed triumphantly. He seemed to enjoy watching other people’s fear, but he stopped soon, because there were still people on three tables who sat still and did not move.

“Ah, I forgot to remind them. They are all non-native together. How can they know the He Family’s background…”

The innkeeper hid behind the counter and saw this scene. He wondered bitterly, if they fought, his inn would be doomed.

The fat servant immediately noticed Qu Qingning with a smiley face. He was very angry not because of anything else, but because Qu Qingning was so complacent.

He was used to being bossy. No one dared to laugh in front of him except the owner.

He pointed at Qu Qingning and immediately ordered, “Where did this fool come from? I have come. He dares to continue sitting! Arrest him. If he resists, break his legs directly!”

The smile on Qu Qingning’s face disappeared immediately. He stood up and was about to say something, but he was held by one hand.

He looked back and found it was Luo Yichen. Luo Yichen said to him with full of fear, “The Prime Minister and the Empress are all from the He Family.”

Although Su Li made a deal with the Emperor and made Tantai Yu Crown Prince, he was only the Crown Prince.

If the contradiction between him and the He Family was obvious, maybe Su Li’s arrangement would be ruined by him.

So, even if Su Li told him to do it boldly, he still hesitated all the way.

Qu Qingning immediately smiled when he heard the words and said, “I wonder why you were glassy-eyed all the way, and it turns out you were not at Su Li’s command at all.”

“Command?” Luo Yichen was confused, “What did she say?”

The fat servant looked at the two people who kept talking. They didn’t pay any attention to him at all. He was very angry at once. He immediately shouted angrily, “What are you waiting for? Go ahead!”

“Come on, I just want to practice!”

Qu Qingning laughed and rushed into the servants. The laughter echoed, “Mu, tell him!”

Fang Mu saw that Qu Qingning had acted first, and said hurriedly, “Brother Qu, leave me some. I didn’t fight enough last time!”

After that, he rushed into them directly. Each time, they could hit their legs and heard the sound of broken bones. The innkeeper and the group of diners were stunned and even forgot to run away.

“You didn’t leave someone to me…”

After a while, the battle was coming to an end. Yun Yi sighed, and then smiled at Luo Yichen, who was shocked, “Protector Luo, you don’t need to worry about Miss at all. Before you came, Miss had ordered that you can do anything in Tianji Country except demolish the Imperial Palace.”

Did anything!

Luo Yichen took a deep breath and became heroic in an instant. What kind of qualification did she have that she could say so?

“I was wrong! Nanjiang Country was powerful enough. Being compared, Tianji Country is nothing, not to mention a family in Tianji Country! Even if the He Family is bigger, how can it be bigger than the Tantai Family?”

Thinking of this, Luo Yichen was relieved and in a good mood. These days, his scruple was suddenly dissolved. He was about to vent, but found that the fight had already ended, and the ground was full of groaning servants. Without exception, their legs were broken. The fat servant was more tragic, because he was conveniently added a punch by Qu Qingning, and his “third leg” was broken.

Crack!

Qu Qingning found a relatively complete bench to sit down and took a long breath, and said with satisfaction, “Cool! There is a pity that Tong didn’t follow me, and no one appreciated my heroism.”

“Brother Qu, are you on purpose?”

Fang Mu came over unhappily and sat down. Whenever he wanted to fight someone, there would always be a disgusting shadow in front of him.

Qu Qingning laughed, “It’s bad for children to fight and kill. I’m accumulating blessings for you. Do you understand?”

Fang Mu was immediately angry. When he was just practicing in spiritual circle, there were nearly a thousand warriors killed by him. If Qu Qingning wanted to kill others, he could say it directly, and there was no need to associate with the accumulation of blessings.

“Hiss. You… Who are you? You dare to fight against us, and you… you will regret it!”

The fat servant took a cold breath in pain, fell to the ground and covered his lower body. He squirmed like a caterpillar. His greasy face was full of fear and resentment without any arrogance.
