Lock and secure

Luo Yao angrily pulled his brother onto the street.

The streets were bustling with people. After leaving the capital, Ah Shi's nature was fully released and he became much bolder than before. Once he went out on the streets, he ran around as if he had never seen the world before.

"Master, look! This thing is amazing!"

Luo Yao was looking at his purse. His purse was lost and he didn't know where it was. He probably lost it in the capital and it was burned in a fire.

The black cloth in his purse was also burned. It was really scary to think that the key clue to the murder case ten years ago was burned away by him...

It’s a pity because it was sewn by his own mother, but Luo Yao wanted to buy the purse mainly because he wanted to put some vanilla in it.

Luo Yao picked and chose, picked up a stall owner and praised it. After listening to the stall owner's praise, Luo Yao shook his head and picked up another one, and the stall owner continued to praise it.

The stall owner talked about selling for a long time without saying a word, and finally Luo Yao picked out a purse with a solid dark green color and gold thread trim. The word "peace" was embroidered in red thread on the back of the purse.

After paying the money and hanging the purse around his waist, Luo Yao rushed to the stall where A Shi was, amid the stall owner's mindless flattery.

Ah Shi was holding a telescope and aiming it at his young master. He could see the gold thread edging the young master's purse from a long distance away. Suddenly, the purse disappeared from his sight. Ah Shi looked left and right for the figure of his young master.

Luo Yao stepped forward and snatched the telescope from his hand, "Show it to me, young master."

Luo Yao looked around with the tube of the mirror, and a familiar person flashed across the mirror.

"Brother, brother, Chenchen wants to see it too!" Luo Xinchen pulled Luo Yao's clothes and shook him.

Luo Yao looked for that person everywhere, but he could not find his location.

Maybe he saw it wrong. Luo Yao rubbed his eyes and handed the telescope to his brother. Luo Xinchen looked left and right, not knowing what he was looking at, and was very excited.

This thing is quite interesting. Luo Yao pulled his brother who was playing with the telescope away.

A Shi paid the money and followed.

A few of them walked around and bought some small things. As it got dark, the night market began, and stalls selling barbecue, pancakes, fried rice and fried noodles opened.

After eating and drinking all the way, their feet were sore from walking, so they found a fried rice restaurant to eat some staple food to fill their stomachs. Luo Yao put down his chopsticks after eating half a bowl of fried rice, and while looking for delicious food, he watched his brother eat. From a distance, he saw a long line of people at an oden restaurant.

Ah Shi also noticed the oden sign and finished the remaining fried rice in a few bites. "Master, you and the young master can enjoy your meal. I'm going to queue up!"

As expected, Ah Shi understood, and Luo Yao nodded.

Watching Ah Shi squeeze into the queue and line up, Luo Yao was bored and looked around with a telescope.

Luo Xinchen has a small appetite and gets full after a while. Luo Yao takes Luo Xinchen to the oden shop.

At this time, a group of young ladies came to the street, and Luo Yao took his brother and walked beside the crowd.

It was a bit crowded and Luo Yao's hat was knocked askew. The moment he straightened his hat, the man coming towards him took Luo Xinchen away from Luo Yao. Luo Yao reacted and reached out to grab him.

"Chen Chen..."

His mouth was covered and a big hand dragged him into a narrow and dark alley. Before he could resist or see who the person was, Luo Yao lost consciousness.

Awakened by a basin of cold water, Luo Yao opened his eyes and cautiously observed his surroundings. He saw a small woodshed and several sturdy men with angry eyes...

Seeing that Luo Yao didn't even look at him, the burly man who had poured cold water on him straightened his face and said in a bad temper: "My master is looking for you. He has something to ask of you."

Damn, who is your master? Is this the attitude you take when asking for help?

Luo Yao glared at the burly man.

"I advise you not to speak to my master in this manner. My master has been in a particularly bad mood recently."

"Bah!" Luo Yao spat in the burly man's face.

The strong man wiped the saliva from his face and said angrily: "Don't forget that your brother is in our hands!"

As soon as the burly man finished speaking, a killer holding a child pushed open the door. The killer had a long knife on his waist, and the knife was still dripping with blood. Luo Yao's gaze moved to the face of Luo Xinchen in the killer's arms.

"What did you do to him?!" Luo Yao struggled desperately.

These people tied it too tightly. The more I struggle, the more my wrist hurts...

The killer in black: "Don't get excited, he's just asleep."

Luo Yao didn't believe it. He stared at the blood drops on the black-clothed man's knife and struggled continuously.

Outside the woodshed, the man in black robe dismissed everyone, and the strong men left one by one, leaving only Luo Yao and the black-clad assassin in the woodshed.

"What do you want to do?!" Luo Yao shouted.

"Shh——" The man in black robe outside the door closed the door and went in, making a gesture.

Luo Yao stared closely at the man in black robe.

The man in black robe took off his hat and Luo Yao opened his eyes wide.

King Qi Bei Zhenqing!

Luo Yao's wet hair was still dripping, and the water was dripping down his chin, making him look very embarrassed.

Bei Zhenqing: "I'm sorry, you haven't woken up for a long time, so I have to wake you up."

Luo Yao looked at them warily. He had heard about Bei Zhenqing's rebellion a long time ago. The Prince of Qi's mansion was ransacked, and Bei Zhenqing was stripped of his title, demoted to a commoner and exiled to the southern border. He thought that he would be escorted on the road in the next few days, but he didn't expect that he would escape.

He really didn't know what to think of Bei Zhenqing. He was a nice guy, but he could do something like this... You can't judge a person by his appearance...

Now I’m tied up again, and I really don’t know how to talk to this friend.

Bei Zhenqing took off his robe and took Luo Xinchen from the black-clad killer's arms.

"what are you going to do?!"

Bei Zhenqing carried Luo Xinchen to Luo Yao and said, "Your brother is fine, he just fell asleep. I want to talk to you."

Luo Yao glanced at his younger brother, who was drooling from the corner of his mouth and seemed to be fine.

"Luo Yao."

Luo Yao turned around and looked at Bei Zhenqing warily.

Bei Zhenqing had lost a lot of weight, and was comparable to the starving people in Khanzhou. They were hungry, but he was sick, with a sickly look and a very pale complexion.

"How did you become like this?" Luo Yaoxia blurted out.

When he learned that Bei Zhenqing was plotting a rebellion, he didn't really have any feelings, just some surprise and confusion.

Bei Zhenqing is his friend. Even now, Luo Yao still regards Bei Zhenqing as a friend, a friend he doesn't quite know how to communicate with.
