The maid Su E Huang sent to wait for Ding Qu ca hurriedly.
Madam! General Ding has sent soone to ask you to go to Mau Long Gate and wait
Before she could finish her sentence, she ran into Su E Huangs mutilated face. Her eyes opened wide as if she had seen a terrible ghost, screaming Ah and turning her head to run out.
Su E Huang subconsciously touched her face and imdiately chased after her.
The maid heard the footsteps, turned her head in fear, and saw Su E Huang holding the blood-stained dagger in her hand. Su E Huangs gaze was gloomy, and her face was like a severe ghost. The maids legs trembled in fear. She could not run anymore. Her knees went weak, fell to the ground, crying and begging for rcy: Spare ! I am loyal to Madam! I didnt see anything! I promise I wont say anything
Su E Huang stabbed the maid to death with no expression on her face. She picked up the mask, put it back to cover her face, and hurriedly ran towards the Mao Long Gate.
The palace, which used to be full of singing and dancing, fell into chaos today.
The palace maids ran in all directions while the guards took advantage of the situation to rob the palace.
With the last few followers left, Su E Huang ran to the North Palaces Mao Long Gate in one breath.
The place was empty, and no one waited for her as expected.
In her ears, she vaguely seed to hear the shouts of Wei Shaos soldiers entering the Zhuque Palace Gate.
She beca agitated and couldnt stop walking back and forth on the Mao Long Gates stairs, cursing. The golden beaded hairpins in her temples constantly trembled with her hurried steps.
No more waiting, lets go by ourselves
She gritted her teeth, stopped her footsteps, took her followers, and turned around to flee toward the Mao Long Garden when suddenly there was a chaotic sound of footsteps behind her.
When she turned around, she saw Ding Qu leading a group of followers hurrying toward her.
Su E Huang was overjoyed, called General Ding, and ran over with her skirt.
Ding Qu has long known the na of Madam Yulou. After joining Xing Xuns side, he could see her face in person on one of the palace banquets. His heart secretly made a comparison.
Although she was far less beautiful than Wei Shaos wife, she had a unique style. The butterfly mask over her face made her mysterious. Hearing that she was Xing Xuns most favored woman in the Lotus Terrace, he inevitably had so thoughts. Without Xing Xuns knowing, Ding Qu soon beca the subject under Su E Huangs skirt and was devoted to her.
Today, when the city collapsed, he ca back in the chaos and saw her waiting at the Mao Long Gate, so he hurriedly welcod her and said, Madam, co with ! I know there is a passageway from the west gate. I may be able to fight to find a way out. I will protect you
Before his words finished, the yellow-gold butterfly mask on Su E Huangs face abruptly fell to the ground when she was running.
Under the beautiful butterfly mask, it was a mutilated face.
Under the dazzling sunlight at noon, everything was clear.
Ding Qu stopped in his tracks in horror. His eyes glared like copper bells.
Su E Huang suddenly felt a chill on her face, looked up, and saw Ding Qu and his entourage instantly open their eyes wide. She realized she had not worn her mask correctly, so it fell off in the run. She was shocked, subconsciously scread, and covered her face with her sleeve.
General Ding! Dont be afraid! I was not like this before! I was a beautiful woman. Everyone in Luoyang knows my na as Madam Yulou! Its all because of Wei Shao! He made like this! If you take out of here, I will help you take over the world!
Ding Qu stared at her face and could not believe his eyes. It finally dawned on him why she had never allowed him to spend the night with her. As if swallowing a fly, his face showed a heavy disgust and contempt, turned and ran away.
Su E Huang was shocked and imdiately chased after him, pulling him by the sleeve from behind.
General Ding, I was born with an extrely noble destiny. The fortune-teller said my destiny is very noble! You have to believe
Tear sound.
Ding Qu drew his sword to cut off his sleeve, which she had tugged, and went away without looking back.
Su E Huangs followers stared at her face in horror, slowly backed up, looked at each other, suddenly turned around, and each fled for their lives.
Su E Huang fell to the ground with a pale face. Her fingers clutched Ding Qus cut sleeve, shaking uncontrollably, and shouted: General Ding, stay! You know the old thief Xing Xuns treasures can exceed a countrys wealth! The gold and silver hidden in the Lotus Terrace is just a hair on his head! I asked him where he hid the other treasure while he was drunk! If you take out of this place, I will repay you with the treasure!
Ding Qu hesitated, stopped, and slowly turned back: Are you telling the truth?
Although Su E Huangs face was still pale, she slowly regained her composure, bending down to pick up the butterfly mask that fell off, put it back on, and said: Xing Xun, that old thief used to favor . Others do not know, but dont you know? Whats difficult for to ask him where he hid his treasure? If you want to go, go! I will not force you! Lotus Terrace treasure, from today, belongs to Wei Shao! Its a pity, the other treasure buried with !
Ding Qu was partially convinced and saw Su E Huang turn around and leave proudly.
He could not help but waver.
These years, Xing Xun scoured the worlds wealth and had them hidden in various places. Among them was hidden in Lotus Terrace, which the world knows.
At this mont, after listening to Su girls words, he imdiately moved.
Although this ghost-faced ugly woman was hateful and disgusting and had cheated him to such an extent, he already arrived here. Furthermore, there was a hidden treasure, so it was better to believe her again. After escaping, if she has lied to him, it is not too late to kill her.
With greedy thoughts, he imdiately changed his face and said: Madam, stay! Co with ! If its too late, we wont be able to escape!
The people of Luoyang, who had closed their doors and guarded their hos, survived a long day with fear.
The sounds of fighting and killing coming from the direction of the city gates finally thinned out and stopped, changing into the sound of a neat and low marching pace coming from the main road of Ping City leading to the palace.
The curfew was imposed in Luoyang that night, and punishnt ca upon those who left their hos without permission. When the people stayed ho, they saw a fire rising from the eastern suburbs outside the city. The fire blazed and burned throughout the night, lighting up the night sky of half of the eastern suburbs of Luoyang.
The next day, the news had spread.
Wei Shao, the Marquis of Yan from Youzhou, had seized Luoyang. After six months of being the emperor of Jiangs Kingdom, Xing Xun died.
Wei Shaos entire army stayed outside the four gates. Last night, he sent only two thousand soldiers and horses into the city to control the palace and the three governnt offices.
Luoyang Magistrate issued a peace bulletin early this morning, saying that the Marquis of Yan ordered that soldiers were unallowed to disturb the citizens. The people finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Imdiately after, another news was circulating wildly in the community.
Rumor has it that the wife of the Marquis of Yan, Qiaos daughter, was beautiful and charming. Xing Xun once said he would take Qiaos daughter and keep her in Lotus Terrace. After the Marquis of Yan conquered Luoyang, the first thing he did last night was burn down the Lotus Terrace. Last nights fire that lit up the night sky of half of Luoyangs eastern suburbs was the fire that burned Lotus Terrace to the ground.
