Chapter 377: Chapter 375: Private Salt, Gang Firefight_1

“Master, there are two groups of people fighting against each other, like gang warfare. The man and woman are deliberately creating chaos, and they came prepared.”

Little Kingfisher’s heart-to-heart communication timely arrived, reporting the outside situation to her master in detail.

“Shitou, close the door and take Xuan’er to hide in the kitchen at the back. There’s an ambush outside, and there will be a bloody battle soon.”

“Alright.”

Shitou reacted swiftly without any hesitation, quickly closing the door, and in a flash, came back to pick up the Little Prince and ran to the kitchen.

“What about us?”

Wang Meng and Xue Mao were somewhat bewildered, not even realizing that their stuffed buns had fallen.

“You two guard the kitchen.”

Su Qingluo’s little face was solemn: “Don’t let Xuan’er face any danger.”

“Alright.”

Wang Meng and Xue Mao exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously.

Before running to the kitchen, Wang Meng remembered to carry away the little leopard cub who was listening with perked-up ears.

Su Qingluo contemplated for a moment, darted in a flash, flew onto the eaves, and hid in the dark to overlook the overall situation.

“Master, I’ll start a fire, let’s make them fight faster, so we can continue on our way after they’re done.”

Yin’er found a new source of fun, her little eyes gleaming while fluttering her little wings and hovering above the two groups of people.

“No.”

Su Qingluo spoke gravely to stop her: “There are residential houses nearby, and we must not start a fire.

Don’t set a big fire, just make a small one, ignite their clothes, and expose them all.”

Yin’er secretly made her own calculations and dived down from the sky.

“Ah, I’m on fire!”

“Your clothes are on fire too!”

In no time, there were howls one after another coming from the nearby alleys.

The two groups of people hiding in the shadows, ready to strike, had their clothes ignited by the sparks and were instantly thrown into chaos.

“Kill!”

The leaders from both sides saw their identities exposed, became enraged, and took the lead in rushing forward.

The bloody battle started instantly. In the not-so-large market street, blades flashed and blood splattered everywhere.

Terrified local residents who couldn’t escape screamed, hid, and ran away. The small restaurant also had many people pouring in all at once.

The dining guests, too, were panic-stricken and ran around in all directions like headless flies, trembling with fear and screaming continuously.

The bloody fight lasted for a stick of incense’s time. Both sides suffered heavy losses, and people kept falling to the ground. The not-so-large market street was flowing with blood.

Small town residents closed their doors and windows, hiding in their homes in fear.

“Yin’er, ask the birds what’s the background of these people. They’re fighting openly in broad daylight without putting the officials in their eyes.”

Hidden under the eaves in the shadows, Su Qingluo furrowed her elegant eyebrows.

“Alright.”

Little Kingfisher was immediately energized, tweeting and calling the birds.

“Chirp chirp.”

In no time, flocks of birds flew over from all directions and gathered around her.

“Master, I inquired.”

The birds were very resourceful, and Little Kingfisher replied quickly.

“Both groups are gangs that have been sailing along the Weishui River for many years. They secretly trade in private salt and often fight over uneven distribution. Such incidents have happened many times before.”

Private salt trade?

Su Qingluo’s heart trembled, and she subconsciously looked at the leaders from both sides.

Both men had higher martial arts skills, lasting until the end. One of them had been pierced in the left rib by a sword, with his breathing weak and uneven, on the verge of dying.

The other was also battered and exhausted.

“Master, are you interested in private salt traders?”

Yin’er clearly sensed her little master’s emotional fluctuations and followed her gaze to look at those people.

“The imperial court has banned the private salt trade, and official salt is strictly controlled. It’s not easy to buy in large quantities as it would attract the attention of the officials.” freewёbnoνel.com

Su Qingluo pondered deeply, with a hint of dark light flashing in her eyes.
