Lock and secure

Luo Yao was stunned, a strange feeling rising in his heart. He looked at Bei Zhenting and suddenly changed his words, "Second brother, let's go back!"

Li Er followed Luo Yao in a daze, and Bei Zhenting followed and held Luo Yao's hand.

"Why do you want to go back again?"

"Leave me alone?!"

Bei Zhenting had no choice but to stop provoking him, and the three of them walked back.

Li Qingyun, who arrived at the cave earlier, had already informed everyone in the cave about the "letter", and the assassin group was discussing it heatedly.

"The only key now is where this Yuanxi Mountain is located. This place is remote, with many mountains and few people. Many mountains don't have names. Yuanxi Mountain may have been named by these people themselves. If so, it will be difficult for us to find it among the mountains."

Yuan Xiaobei: "If these 10,000 bandits are truly private soldiers, such a large-scale banditry would definitely require an open area for training. We just need to find such an open area..."

"That's easy to say. But how can we find them in such a vast mountain with poisonous creatures everywhere? We can't fly!" Yuan Zhaoling retorted to Yuan Xiaobei in a very harsh tone.

"Who said we can't fly?" Luo Yao's voice came from outside the cave, and everyone turned their heads to look outside the cave.

Yuan Zhaoling's face was filled with surprise. "The princess is back? Is there a solution?"

"That's easy, here." Luo Yao pointed at a pile of balls of leather beside the stone wall and said, "Can't we just use the moon?"

Bei Zhenting glanced at Luo Yao with admiration. Yuan Zhaoling suddenly stood up and said, "Why didn't I think of this? I've wanted to sit on the 'moon' for a long time!"

Yuan Xiaobei was excited, "Can we set off now?!"

Bei Zhenting shook his head: "Rest first tonight, and set off early tomorrow morning to find out where they might be."

Luo Yao: "Anyone want to go to the front line?"

Yuan Xiaobei raised Yuan Xueying's hand and said, "Princess, let us brothers take care of this dangerous matter!"

Are you sure this is dangerous? You want to go out and have fun! Yuan Xueying helplessly held her forehead and bowed, saying: "I am willing to share the worries of the prince and princess!"

Yuan Zhaoling raised her hand and said, "I want to go too!"

Li Eryuan and Xue Ying rejected Yuan Zhaoling in unison, "No!"

We still don’t know whether this thing is safe, and tomorrow is not the day to “buy food”. It would be dangerous if it is discovered.

"Mr. Yuan, it's better for you to stay here. If something happens to you, it will be bad if your father really sends people to hunt me down." Bei Zhenting glanced at Yuan Zhaoling indifferently.

Yuan Zhaoling put down his hand regretfully, and looked at Yuan Xiaobei who was chattering with Yuan Xueying with resentment, his eyes full of envy and jealousy.

Luo Yao glanced around and said, "Second brother, come with us."

"Yes, young master!"

Li Er is mature, steady and thoughtful. It should not be difficult for him to find the Moon Lord's lair. Moreover, he is a martial arts expert. If the three of them are really attacked, he can handle it.

-

The next morning, before dawn, a huge "moon" rose into the sky under Luo Yao's command.

The assassins who witnessed the whole process were all very excited.

"It really can fly! And it flies so steadily! If I had known earlier, I would have gone to investigate!" Assassin A looked at the "moon" flying higher and higher with a look of longing.

Assassin B: "With your eyesight, are you sure you can still see the ground when flying so high? Besides having good ears, what else can you do? Don't embarrass the young master!"

Yuan Zhaoling felt uneasy listening to Yuan Xiaobei's excited cheers in the sky. There was no danger at all! Bei Zhenting simply didn't want him to go!

This is the first time he has acted separately from Li Er since he met Li Er in Li County!

It’s so abominable that Li Er can go, but he can’t!

"Master, don't worry. Once Xiaobei and Brother Ying find the lair of that group of people, we will all fly there!" An assassin stepped forward to comfort Yuan Zhaoling.

Luo Yao patted Yuan Zhaoling's shoulder, intending to scare him. "Master Yuan, your brother is absolutely right. If they were discovered, they would be shot down from the sky and smashed into pieces."

Yuan Zhaoling looked up at the "moon" flying higher and higher. Luo Yao's words about being shot down and smashed into a meat pie were not an exaggeration. If they really fell from such a height, they would definitely die! Imagining the scene of being smashed into a meat pie from falling from a height, Yuan Zhaoling shuddered, "Princess, they won't really fall down, right?!"

"That's hard to say."

Bei Zhenting pulled Luo Yao away without even glancing at him, and threw down a sentence indifferently.

Could it be true that Li Yi, who is so powerful, would fall to his death?

Yuan Zhaoling was worried the whole day and looked up at the sky from time to time. His brothers had noticed his abnormality a long time ago. They gathered the gunpowder in a cave, but Yuan Zhaoling was still sitting on the steps outside the cave entrance looking at the sky.

"Lingzi, don't worry, Xiaobei and Yingge will be fine! We brothers have tried that thing, and it can't be penetrated without some strength. It's very solid!"

"Do you think Lingzi is worried about Xiaobei and Yingge? The young master is worried about Li Er!"

"Who's worried about that Li Er?" Yuan Zhao shouted back, "I'm just waiting for them to bring back news!"

The three people who went out to investigate that night brought back information about the "Moon Tower", where the "Moon Lord" was located. Under the command of Prince Yong'an Bei Zhenting, the Yuan assassins secretly delivered gunpowder to a secret stronghold not far from the "Moon Tower".

Two days later, it was the day to "buy food". The group put on the black clothes of the people in the Moon Tower and boarded the "Moon Boat".

We set out as the sun set, witnessing the fading glow across the vast mountains of northern Qinlin. As the sun set, the sky darkened, devoid of the modern city, like the Milky Way at night, a galaxy of stars stretching across the sky. Aside from the shimmering lights of the distant western villages and towns, the lush green mountains remained only outlined.

Luo Yao leaned on the edge of the sturdy hanging basket, breathing the fresh air, standing on tiptoe to overlook the vast mountains and rivers hidden in the darkness, feeling extremely relaxed.

If he wasn't doing serious work now, he really wanted to open his arms and scream.

Bei Zhenting walked to his side, afraid that he would fall, and held his waist lightly with one hand, ready to pull him back at any time.

"Your Highness! Is the Little Ghost Village there?" Luo Yao asked Bei Zhenting excitedly, pointing to a dark area, and did not notice Bei Zhenting's dirty hand on his waist.

Bei Zhenting nodded. "It's Xiaogui Village. Xiaogui Village is blessed with unique natural conditions, with high mountains and rivers providing shelter. Even at such a high altitude, not a single fire light can be seen. It's indeed well hidden."

Luo Yao pouted in dissatisfaction: "It's better that I can't see the fire. If I could see the fire, the Little Ghost Village would have been slaughtered by those people long ago!" Luo Yao said this and became depressed.

Bei Zhenting looked down at him and touched his head. "Be careful of the little ghost village?"

Luo Yao slapped his hand away, "How can I not be worried? We've been out for so long, and we still don't know what's going on in Little Ghost Village. Those kids..."

Bei Zhenting smiled and said, "It's okay, look."

Bei Zhenting took out a letter and handed it to him, "This is the letter from over there."

Luo Yao snatched the letter from Bei Zhenting's hand and read it while leaning against the hanging basket with his back to the letter.

Xiaogui Village was attacked a few days ago. The Yuan clan was well prepared, and all the invaders were captured and imprisoned. The villagers are safe. Once they are done and the forces of Qinlin County are eliminated, the children will be sent home.
