The Prodigal Son

Seeing Qi Dachui's ghost-like expression, Qin Yu couldn't help but feel curious.

What happened? Did that grandson of Lü Si get promoted for capturing Xie Qiong after being assassinated?

With a touch of curiosity, Qin Yu peeked out.

Upon seeing this, Qin Yu's eyes widened suddenly.

"Holy crap?"

Qin Yu rubbed his eyes hard, staring blankly at the sky.

This is not a case of Lü Si getting promoted!

Lü Si has ascended to heaven!

No wonder Qi Dachui had that expression.

The shock he felt at the scene before him was no less than that of Lü Si riding a pig flying in the sky!

That's fucking...

Hot... hot air balloon?

Oli cry!

Who the hell came here from another time?

They've even built hot air balloons?

Is this because they've eaten too much of what they're far ahead of?

The people on the street were all dumbfounded as they looked at the hot air balloons in the sky.

Many people even thought they had seen immortals and knelt on the ground, kowtowing and worshipping.

Luo Qingyi also curiously came over to take a look.

Upon seeing this, Luo Qingyi's mouth gaped open, her beautiful eyes widening in disbelief. "This...this..."

Luo Qingyi pointed tremblingly at the hot air balloon in the sky, her beautiful face flushed with excitement. She was about to kneel down and kowtow when Qin Yu stopped her.

"Ah...ah..."

The piercing screams shattered the illusions of those kneeling and bowing in worship.

Qin Yu looked closely and saw a person lying inside the hot air balloon, screaming like a pig being slaughtered, as if shouting something.

However, the surroundings were chaotic, and the hot air balloon was rising and falling, so he couldn't hear what the person was shouting.

The hot air balloon continued to drift away with the wind, and it looked like it was about to float away into the distance.

The streets were in complete chaos as pedestrians chased after the hot air balloon, eager to see what kind of treasure it was.

"Deliver those bolts of silk to the Duke of Wei's residence later!"

Qin Yu, with an air of authority, gave a command to the shopkeeper and shouted at Qi Dachui and Luo Qingyi, "Quick, come with me to take a look!"

The three of them mingled in the crowd and kept moving forward.

"Help! Help..."

As the hot air balloon plummeted, Qin Yu finally heard what the person was shouting.

Just as Qin Yu was about to have Qi Dachui rescue the people, the falling hot air balloon mysteriously began to rise again.

Under Qin Yu's watchful gaze, the hot air balloon rose and fell.

Several times he thought the hot air balloon was going to crash, but it seemed to have an infinite resurrection armor and a famous sword; it looked like it was about to fall, but it just wouldn't.

It was like being drunk, going up and down, drifting aimlessly.

"Make way, make way!"

Just as they were running after the hot air balloon, a troop of cavalry charged from behind, driving away the crowd that had gathered in the street to watch the spectacle.

Faced with this group of fully armored cavalry, pedestrians, still in a state of great shock, quickly made way for them.

"Shoot that monster down!"

With a loud shout from the young general in charge, the cavalrymen all drew their powerful bows.

Seeing the situation below, the hot air balloon began to rise again, seemingly trying to escape the range of arrows.

"Don't shoot!"

Qin Yu roared to stop the group of soldiers.

The young officer in charge clearly recognized Qin Yu. After hesitating for a moment, he gestured for the cavalry to cease fire.

As a gust of wind blew, the rising hot air was suddenly and uncontrollably blown southward.

Without saying much to Qin Yu, the young officer roared and gave the order: "Chase!"

Having said that, the young general quickly led his cavalry to chase after the hot air balloon in the sky.

Qin Yu didn't care about anything else and quickly led Qi Dachui to follow behind the group of soldiers.

The hot air balloon continued to drift, heading towards the location of the palace.

Seeing this, the cavalry dared not delay any longer and chased after them, while troops from all around also continued to converge on this side.

Before long, the hot air balloon flew over Mirror Lake, not far from the palace, and began to sway and fall again.

This time, the hot air balloon finally didn't use the famous knife again.

Under Qin Yu's watchful eyes, the hot air balloon crashed into Mirror Lake with a "plop".

The young cavalry commander waved his hand and shouted, "Go! Retrieve all the demons and monsters!"

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers immediately found boats and rowed towards the middle of Mirror Lake.

While they were busy, more soldiers arrived at the scene.

"hurry up!"

"Damn, so slow! People are drowning!"

"Paddle faster, forget about the stuff, save them first!"

When Qin saw the soldiers rowing slowly, he couldn't help but urge them on from the shore.

Talent!

This guy is a genius for building hot air balloons!

Please don't drown!

"What trouble did you cause this time?"

Just as Qin Yu was jumping around urging the soldiers on, a familiar voice rang out behind him.

Qin Yu turned around and saw Xu Kui and Xu Wan, the brother and sister, appearing behind her.

There was also a man who was as strong as a bear, and judging from his attire, he should also be from the Treasure Mirror Bureau.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Qin Yu looked at Xu Wan with a puzzled expression.

You're the military envoy of the Treasure Mirror Bureau, for crying out loud!

You need to provide evidence when you speak!

"It's none of your business, why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Wan frowned and asked.

"I……"

Qin Yu was both amused and annoyed. "Can't I be kind-hearted?"

Does my anxiety have anything to do with me?

Which judge taught you that?

However, the group all looked on with disbelief. The bear-like fellow even looked at Qin Yu with schadenfreude, saying, "You're in deep trouble this time! I reckon even His Majesty has been alerted!"

"Who are you?"

Qin Yu frowned as he looked at the large bear.

The big bear answered in a booming voice, "I have seen it!"

What the hell!

The boss of the Treasure Mirror Bureau!

This thing even came here?

It seems this matter has indeed escalated quite a bit!

"This really has nothing to do with Young Master Thirteen!"

Qi Dachui quickly tried to explain for Qin Yu.

Luo Qingyi snapped out of her daze and quickly added, "This really has nothing to do with Thirteen Young Master. We just happened to see it when we went to buy silk, so we came to watch the fun!"

"Is that so?"

Zeng Guan didn't believe it. "I just heard that the city guards originally intended to shoot down this monster, but you interfered, which caused it to fly towards the palace."

"..."

Qin Yu remained silent.

That's because I love talent!

Do you think I'm like you bunch of idiots, knowing nothing?

Still a demon?

Just as they were speaking, a troop of soldiers dressed in golden armor, like Gold Saints, galloped in on horseback.

Upon seeing this group of people, Qin Yu's eyelids twitched suddenly.

Holy crap!

Golden-armored Imperial Guards!

Even the imperial guards in golden armor who protect the palace have come?

It seems Zeng Guan's guess was correct; the female demon was indeed alarmed.

The junior commander of the golden-armored imperial guards rode forward and shouted, "His Majesty has decreed: No one is to leave before His Majesty arrives; anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

As the young commander finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Qin Yu.

It's as if it's saying: You're in trouble, kid!

Qin Yu was speechless, feeling even more wronged than Dou E.

How could this guy blame himself for this?

Keep lying, keep lying!

Once the people in the lake are rescued, they will naturally understand.

At the same time, Zhao Luan was also rushing towards Mirror Lake.

Halfway there, Yun Ying stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, the city guards have reported that the demon has fallen into Mirror Lake. Furthermore, according to the city guards, that demon is most likely... related to Qin Yu!"

Qin Yu!

Upon hearing those two words, Zhao Luan was filled with rage.

That bastard!

Every time someone achieves even the smallest merit, they're sure to cause trouble the moment they turn around!

Did he not consider that having a monster flying in the sky in broad daylight might cause a large-scale riot?

asshole!

For no apparent reason, Zhao Luan's hands started itching.

If Qin Yu hadn't been beaten, she would also feel pain. She really wanted to hang Qin Yu up and give him a severe beating.

"Head to Mirror Lake immediately!"

Zhao Luan, his face dark, gave an order and then instructed Shangguan Youyi: "Order a public notice to reassure the people, saying that the monster is a novel object created by the imperial court, and that the people should not panic!"
