Chapter 76: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
To be precise, he was staring at the backs of the Su brothers, specifically the two of them who had injured his two older brothers!
They noticed a sharp gaze fixed on their backs.
They were quite perceptive; they all turned around and looked at them.
The three people were standing there, seemingly talking about something.
Zhongli Yueluo didn't know who that person was.
They could sense that the aura emanating from him was hostile, and his malice towards them was impossible to conceal.
They didn't interfere further and just kept moving forward.
Tao Xia Wu Luo was waiting for them in the outer hall, as were the guards of the prince consort.
Tao Xia and Wu Luo stepped forward to help Zhong Li Yue Luo, who felt like she was being supported. She asked.
"So you two absolutely have to come with me?"
"Of course, a princess must have the airs of a princess."
The two of them were meek and submissive, but you couldn't sense any respect from them.
Let's see what kind of trouble they're planning. Gongshu Liang and the others walked out of the hall one after another. Wu Luo turned around, and Gongshu Liang nodded slightly to her.
At this moment, Taoxia asked from the side, "Has the princess chosen which consort will walk with you across the flower bridge?"
At that moment, three men stood behind them.
Zhongli Yueluo frowned. Why did she have to ask her this in such a chaotic situation?
And why must we only bring one person when walking the flower bridge? This time she's determined to make an exception...
"I'm taking all three of them. What? Is there some law that says I can only take one?"
She stared at Tao Xia with a cold expression.
Tao Xia wore her ever-present smile: "Of course not, as long as the princess is happy."
She removed her hand from Taoxia's: "There are still many trivial matters to be dealt with at Yuanyue Pavilion. Today, Wuluo will accompany me out, and you stay here."
Tao Xia and Wu Luo exchanged a glance, looking somewhat troubled.
Zhongli Yueluo said sternly, "What? Are you here on someone's orders to spy on me?!"
Tao Xia shook her head repeatedly; she couldn't bring herself to reveal this secret at this crucial juncture.
The three princes-in-law followed behind, their eyes narrowed in deep thought.
They are about to leave the city, but the city is a mixed bag, and who knows what might happen.
Yan Ruoyu couldn't stroll with them today, so she parted ways with them after walking for a while.
Before leaving, she glanced at Su Fengjun and said, "Young Master Feng, I'm entrusting the princess to you."
He smiled and nodded, then turned around and found Zhongli Yueluo looking at him, so he looked away.
Su Fengling was happy, because as long as Yan Ruoyu wasn't around, Zhongli Yueluo was practically his alone.
Of course, it would be even better if He Yuhuan wasn't there.
He made no attempt to hold Zhongli Yueluo's hand, pushing Wu Luo aside.
Zhongli Yueluo walked very slowly, after all, the clothes and headdress were still so heavy.
He Yuhuan would take two steps and then stop to wait for her; before, her short legs would have to go all out to keep up with them.
"Master, can't I not wear it?"
Zhongli Yueluo did not answer. Wu Luo stood to the side, her hands resting on her lower abdomen.
She said respectfully, "Miss Yu Huan, the princess must complete the formalities on the long bridge before she can change out of her fine clothes."
For the entire morning, Zhongli Yueluo was observed by them like a mascot.
Her husbands, on the other hand, were free to do their own thing.
Yan Ruoyu, dressed in a rather unassuming robe, went to one of the Black Deer Guard's strongholds.
They were instructed by Gongshu Liang to instigate a riot when Zhongli Yueluo finished visiting the last place.
Seeing that it was Yan Ruoyu, they lowered their guard.
They were assumed to be allies, and he was accompanied by Silver Ferocious Guards, each of whom had a murderous look on their faces.
"Young Master Yan, you told us to leave and let your Zhenwei take over, but we haven't received any such information!"
This Black Deer Guard was quite vigilant, but unfortunately it was of little use.
He opened his Xuan Gu Fan, obscuring the lower half of his face, his eyes narrowed: "Kill."
The Silver Ferocious Guards drew their swords in unison, and before the Black Deer Guards could put up a few resistances, they all fell to the ground.
He closed his fan, and not a drop of blood stained his robe.
"The riots will still happen, just in a different way." With a wave of his hand, the Silver Guards cleaned up the area.
At this time, the Su brothers also changed into clean and neat clothes.
They sensed something was off about the man accompanying Gongshu Liang in the main hall; he was probably a member of the Ghost Clan.
His presence by Gongshu Liang's side might be detrimental to Zhongli Yueluo, so they searched for his whereabouts in the city.
Zhongli Yueluo finally reached the last place.
Upon arriving at the room, I took off my heavy formal attire and headdress, changed into casual clothes, and felt much more comfortable.
He Yuhuan was exhausted, while Wu Luo beside her seemed to be waiting for something, glancing towards the door every now and then.
Zhongli Yueluo walked out of the room and saw that disgusting figure not far away.
Wu Luo was waiting for him, wasn't she? He deliberately chose this place as the last stop.
After the ceremony is held here, you will be able to meet Gongshu Liang.
"Young Master Gongshu" danced and bowed, his eyes subtly conveying affection.
Zhongli Yueluo said coldly, "Wu Luo!"
“Zhongli Yueluo, outside the imperial court, do you still think of yourself as a princess? The Black Deer Guards will cause a riot soon. Beg me now, and I won’t kill you.”
Although the Black Deer Guards were formidable, she had already dispersed them all.
Moreover, Yan Ruoyu was no pushover either. She laughed angrily, "Where do you get your confidence from?"
She shrugged. Even if things didn't go well, she still had He Yuhuan. Looking at He Yuhuan next to her, she seemed dejected.
"We knew long ago that the He family was immune to poisons, but she can't do without tonics! Hahaha!"
He laughed wildly. It turned out that he had already tampered with He Yuhuan's food. No wonder she was tired so soon today.
Gongshu Liang pointed at her and said, "And you are no match for me!"
Wu Luo also walked away from her and went to Gongshu Liang's side, bowing and saying, "Young Master."
Zhongli Yueluo remained calm and grabbed He Yuhuan's small hand, hiding it behind her back.
She stood in front of her, saying, "Then try it!"
"Master, let me kill him with a hammer!" Her steps were unsteady, and she had no strength in her hands.
Zi Sangqi appeared near the Ghost Clan Inn, killed several Ghost Guards, and provocatively threw their corpses at the door.
Su Fengling drew his sword from his waist after a long absence, his eyes sharp.
Staring at Zi Sangqi standing outside, she first shot out two plum blossom darts, which grazed his side cheek!
"Zisang, you'll always be a rat in the gutter. How naive of you to think you can be a cat in the open!"
The sword, gleaming with a cold light, stabbed towards Zi Sangqi!
Zi Sangqi dodged left and right with ease, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
"You're all entangled in fighting me here, aren't you worried about the life or death of your princess?"
Su Fengjun had not yet made a move, but the sword had already been drawn from his body.
Upon hearing the word "princess," a hint of emotion flickered across his face.
Su Fengling's eyebrows shot up, wondering if this was Gongshu's scheme to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
