Chapter 642: You Can Only Be A Dog....
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Long Ba, you laid your hands on someone from the Peace-keeping Bureau.”
Long Ba gave a strange laugh. “Meng Zi, don’t accuse a good guy without evidence. Which eye of yours saw me touch the people from the Peace-keeping Bureau?”
Meng Zi’s eyes narrowed. “I have an eyewitness, and I heard everything you said just now.”
Long Ba’s expression did not change, but killing intent erupted from his eyes.
“Meng Zi, in the beginning, we did not interfere with each other’s business in the Tiger Base. However, a woman appeared from nowhere and turned everything upside down in our Tiger Base. She even wants us to listen to her. You have become a nobody now, and your son was beaten half to death. Are you really willing to submit yourself to all this?”
“Long Ba, you don’t have to sow discord here. I, Meng Zi, am indebted to the City Lord, so I will never do anything to betray her. If you have any thoughts of disloyalty, then don’t blame me for not showing you any courtesy.”
Long Ba saw that he was getting nowhere and did not want to pretend anymore. “Courtesy? Don’t you forget this is my territory! Since you’re willing to continue being a dog, I won’t stop you. Kill him!”
The henchmen outside the door broke in and attacked Meng Zi.
Meng Zi swept a glance over them and drew out the large saber at his waist. Both sides began fighting.
More and more henchmen appeared. Meng Zi did not want to be dragged into a prolonged battle and broke out of the window to look for an opportunity to escape. If he fought these people head-on, he might not have a chance of winning.
Within the palace, Su Ying had just taken a bath and laid down on the bed.
She attached great importance to the road construction. Whenever she had the time, she would go and supervise. Every day, she would return to the city not much earlier than Meng Zi and the rest.
It was already late by the time she finished listening to Chu Yun’s report on some of the more important matters.
Su Ying closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep when she heard the familiar sound of footsteps coming from outside the door.
The footsteps sounded a little urgent. Su Ying opened her eyes and immediately heard the voice of the Green Guardian coming from outside the door.
“City Lord, your subordinate has something to report.”
Su Ying resigned herself to her fate and sat up on the bed. After putting on some clothes quickly, she sat down behind the screen.
“Come in.”
The Green Guardian pushed open the door and walked up to the screen. “City Lord, a woman is outside the palace. She said that Long Ba was about to rebel and he even killed the people from the Peace-keeping Bureau after he was discovered. The Peace-keeping Bureau has already brought people to his place.”
Su Ying’s eyebrows twitched. “Long Ba wants to rebel?”
“Yes.”
“Bring that woman in. Immediately send someone to the brothel to investigate.”
“Yes, City Lord.”
Lu Yi was brought into the palace and she knelt down before the screen.
“Greetings, City Lord. City Lord, save me! City Lord, please save me…”
Su Ying walked out from behind the screen and her almond-shaped eyes landed on Lu Yi without any change in emotion.
“How did you know that Long Ba was going to rebel?”
“City… City Lord, I accidentally overheard him talking to his men when I went to serve him. I realized the seriousness of this matter and didn’t dare to delay, so I came to inform you, City Lord. However, when I was leaving, I was discovered by their men. While on the run, I bumped into someone from the Peace-keeping Bureau. To my shock, they actually killed the person from the Peace-keeping Bureau!”
“When did you start serving in the brothel?”
“City Lord, it was half a year ago. He said that I was delicate and pretty, and he liked my face. He would let me serve him whenever he had the time.”
Su Ying didn’t ask any more questions and instructed people to come and bring Lu Yi to the side hall.
After Lu Yi was brought away, Su Ying went out of the inner hall.
“Go and prepare the horse. I will personally go there to take a look.”
“Yes, City Lord.”
Lu Yi stood by the side of the door and her face gradually turned sinister as she listened to Su Ying leaving.
By the time Su Ying reached the brothel, the guards in the city had already arrived to give support.
The battle between the two sides was intense.
Long Ba was standing on the tall building and his eyes revealed a sinister look when he saw Su Ying.
“Do it.”
Su Ying had just stepped into the brothel when the door behind her slammed shut.
The guests tonight had already run away or died. The lobby was littered with corpses.
“City Lord!”
The deputy manager of the Peace-keeping Bureau saw Su Ying and immediately went forward.
“Where’s Long Ba?”
“There!”
The deputy manager pointed upwards.
Four eyes met, and Long Ba felt a strong killing intent.
Even though he was fully prepared, when he was truly facing Su Ying, he was still terrified subconsciously.
Su Ying took out the chain from her robe and tossed it over the railing. After the iron grappling hooks gripped the railing, she swung herself up.
Long Ba was on the top floor. When he saw that Su Ying was about to reach him, he turned around and ran into the room.
Su Ying went after him in a flash.
Bang! The room door slammed shut, but Long Ba was nowhere to be seen.
Su Ying came to the window and saw that Long Ba’s fat figure was already in the back courtyard and running towards his residence.
“Want to flee? Not that easy.”
Meanwhile, after Su Ying left, Lu Yi remained standing by the door listening to the movements outside.
After confirming that there were no guards patrolling outside, she quietly opened the hall door and walked out.
The guard outside the door turned his head when he heard the commotion. Before he could speak, Lu Yi dashed up and started fighting with him.
Fifteen minutes later, the two guards fell to the ground.
Lu Yi pulled the two of them into the side hall and took off the clothes of one guy to change into. After making sure that no one could see through her disguise, she left the side hall.
Lu Yi crept to Su Ying’s main hall and found the layout blueprint of the entire palace there. She discovered the location of the prison.
She carefully made her way to the location of the prison. Along the way, she had also figured out the patrolling frequency of the guards here.
There was only one patrol team on every floor. As long as she avoided that patrol team, she would not be discovered.
She reached the prison where Xie Rui was locked up. There were more than ten guards outside.
If she forced her way in, she definitely wouldn’t be able to save him. Fortunately, she was prepared well ahead.
She took out a string of firecrackers and tossed them out.
Crackle! Pop! The smell of gunpowder mixed with the faint smell of chemicals spread in the air.
The sudden turn of events made the guards panic.
After the smoke dispersed, all the guards had fallen to the ground.
Lu Yi covered her mouth and nose with a wet cloth and quickly retrieved the key from the guards. She then unlocked the door and dashed in.
This prison was usually not used. Now, only Xie Rui was locked up in there.
Lu Yi noticed that there was only one locked cell door, so she rushed to that door. Through the small viewing panel on the door, she saw Xie Rui lying on the ground.
“Your Highness? Your Highness?”
Xie Rui heard the noise coming from the door and got up from the ground. However, his body was still very weak, and it took him a lot of effort to get up.
“Who? Who is it?”
When she heard Xie Rui’s voice, Lu Yi was sure that she had found the right person. She used the key to open the cell door and set Xie Rui free.
“I’ll carry you on my back, Your Highness.”
The two of them did not dare to waste time talking. Lu Yi carried Xie Rui and headed out.
“Why isn’t there any guard along the way?”
With the lesson learned last time, Xie Rui was not as reckless as before. When he saw that there was no one on their way out, he immediately became wary.
“Your Highness, don’t worry. I have already taken care of the guards outside. Your Highness is the only one locked up in this prison, so most of the guards are stationed outside the door. We should leave quickly..”
