Chapter 112 Great changes in Sangluo City

After the chaos and turmoil at the city lord's mansion, only a scene of devastation remained. Zheng Zhao was furious, his eyes blazing with rage. "How dare they! Do they really think the Zheng family of Xingyang is a pushover?"

"Zheng Qian, pass on my order: issue a warrant for their arrest and find the whereabouts of Li Linxi and the others. They have a hideout in Sangluo, so arrest them. Also, issue a bounty warrant for the Second Miss. Anyone who reports the Second Miss's whereabouts will receive a reward."

Zheng Zhao's order plunged the entire city lord's mansion and even the city of Sangluo into a tense atmosphere. Soldiers rushed about, and the people were filled with fear.

Meanwhile, in a small courtyard in Sangluo City, not long after Shi Wanxia returned, Li Changyu came back covered in blood with his men. This terrified Li Qinglan and the others; they had thought they were just going to a wedding banquet, but they hadn't expected to end up in such a sorry state.

Li Qinglan helped Sister Shi up and asked with a worried look, "Sister Shi, what happened? Why is Brother Li covered in blood?" Before Shi Wanxia could speak, her third uncle immediately led his men to kneel in front of Li Changyu.

“Young master, your identity has been exposed this time. The former leader of the martial arts alliance is in big trouble. Moreover, the second young lady of the city lord’s mansion also disappeared at the wedding banquet. I’m afraid Zheng Zhao will not let you off easily. This old servant has been operating in Sangluo City for many years. We must leave tonight. If we stay any longer, there will be a lot of trouble. Zheng Zhao’s henchmen will find this place soon. These young ladies are weak and have no martial arts skills whatsoever.”

Li Changyu frowned, looking at himself covered in blood, his heart filled with helplessness. He had intended to keep the wedding low-key, but it had unexpectedly caused such a disaster. He knew Zheng Zhao's power was immense; if Zheng Zhao caught up with him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Third Uncle, you are absolutely right. We must evacuate as soon as possible. But before we evacuate, we must make full preparations,” Li Changyu said calmly.

Shi Wanxia looked at Li Changyu, her heart filled with worry. She knew that this situation was fraught with danger, and they had to be careful.

"Brother Li, what should we do?" Shi Wanxia asked.

Li Changyu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's pack our important belongings first, then find two carriages and leave Sangluo City as soon as possible. On the way, we must try to avoid Zheng Zhao's henchmen."

"Third Uncle, you take your men and go first. Leave two skilled men to drive for us and protect Qinglan and the others."

"Third Uncle, you must be careful in everything you do. We will meet outside the city. The city gates are not closed yet. You will secretly leave the city through the side paths. Oh, and take all the soaps that Miss Shi made. Only one or two people will remain in Sangluo City to rebuild it in secret. Remember, you must not act rashly."

Third Uncle immediately accepted the order: "Young Master, rest assured, I will also send people to keep an eye on Xu Shaoyu. This old servant will personally retrieve your things."

Li Changyu's face was grim, a glint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. He immediately stopped his third uncle, Xu Shaoyu: "You two follow him secretly. Once we find his hideout, I will personally deal with him! Be careful when you go back. Zheng Zhao is treacherous and cunning; don't let your guard down!"

Third Uncle nodded. He knew Li Changyu's character well; once he made a decision, he wouldn't easily change it. He had already sent more men to secretly follow Xu Shaoyu.

Everyone nodded and began to busy themselves. Although Li Qinglan and the others were afraid, they knew this was not the time to be afraid, and they did their best to help pack. Two carriages were ready. Li Changyu and the others quickly boarded the carriages and headed out of the city.

However, their operation did not go so smoothly. Zheng Zhao's henchmen quickly discovered their trail and began to give chase.

The carriage sped along the rugged road, and Li Changyu and the others' hearts were in their throats. They knew that if they were caught, they would face great danger.

"Young Master, they're catching up!" Xing Ce said anxiously.

Li Changyu glanced back and saw dust billowing behind him as a group of soldiers quickly pursued them.

"Speed ​​up!" Li Changyu shouted.

The coachman whipped the horse harder, making it go even faster. But Zheng Zhao's soldiers were not to be outdone; they followed closely behind.

Just then, a river suddenly appeared ahead. The coachman quickly reined in the horse, and the carriage came to a stop.

"Young master, there's a river ahead, we can't cross it," the coachman said.

Li Changyu looked at the river, his heart sinking. He knew they were in dire straits.

"Xinglai, you escort the girls away first, the rest of you follow me and prepare for battle!" Li Changyu said decisively.

Everyone grabbed their weapons, preparing for the impending battle. Zheng Zhao's soldiers quickly caught up and surrounded them.

“Li Linxi, you can’t escape now. Come back with us obediently, and perhaps the city lord will spare your life,” said a soldier leader.

Li Changyu sneered and said, "You want me to go back? It won't be that easy."

Having said that, he charged out first, engaging in fierce combat with the soldiers. Shi Wanxia and the others also joined the battle; although they lacked martial prowess, they wanted to do their part.

The battle was extremely fierce. Although Li Changyu and his men were brave, they were ultimately outnumbered. Gradually, they began to find themselves in trouble.

Just when they were about to give up, they suddenly heard a long howl. A figure flew in like lightning and landed beside them.

The newcomer was a mysterious old man, holding a long sword and exuding an imposing aura.

"Li Linxi, how have you been?" the old man said.

Li Changyu was delighted to see the old man. "So it's you, senior. What brings you here?"

The old man smiled slightly and said, "I heard you were in trouble, so I came here to help you."

Having said that, the old man joined the battle. His swordsmanship was incredibly fierce, and he instantly routed Zheng Zhao's soldiers.

With the old man's help, Li Changyu and the others finally escaped their predicament. They took the opportunity to cross the river and continue their escape from Sangluo City.

After a difficult trek, they finally arrived at a safe place. Li Changyu and the others breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss their next plan.

“Although we escaped this time, Zheng Zhao will definitely not let it go. We must find a safe place as soon as possible to avoid his pursuit,” Li Changyu said.

Shi Wanxia nodded and said, "Brother Li, we can head south to attract their attention, then turn back north to Cangling, where we might find refuge."

Everyone agreed, and they decided to embark on a new journey to find a safe place to escape Zheng Zhao's pursuit.

The old man escorted them to safety, then bid farewell to Li Changyu, bowing with his hands clasped: "Even after a thousand miles of escorting you, we must part ways eventually. Take care, Alliance Leader Li. I must take my leave now!"

Li Changyu immediately helped his senior up, saying, "Thank you so much, senior. You and my mentor were old friends, and we owe you a great debt of gratitude for your help in this predicament!"

The old man waved his hand, "This child's temperament is truly rare in this world; even after going through so much hardship, he's still like this..."

"Alright, I'll be going now. Be careful, and if you encounter any danger, just call my name."
