Lock and secure

It was a little stimulating. Luo Yao had a cunning look on his face. What happened a few hours ago seemed to be an illusion, and the slight alienation also seemed to be an illusion. Bei Zhenting felt a little uncomfortable looking at Luo Yao's face.

He didn't know what happened to Luo Yao, but the only thing he could confirm was that something did happen to Luo Yao.

He inadvertently alienated Luo Yao from him, and Luo Yao did not want to tell him the reason.

What did he do?

The two of them shuttled through the forest, and Bei Zhenting thought carefully about what happened last night.

Everything was fine, but Luo Yao suddenly felt dizzy. What happened before?

He caught a firefly for Luo Yao... and then...

Could it be that Luo Yao is afraid of insects...

Luo Yao patted Bei Zhenting, who was distracted, and pointed in a direction for Bei Zhenting to look.

Bei Zhenting came back to his senses and looked in the direction Luo Yao pointed. It was Yue Tower.

The Moon Tower is built against the mountain, suspended in the air in a narrow valley, occupying the entire valley. Under the moonlight, it looks like a giant black insect invading the mountains and rivers.

"This valley isn't very long. It's very narrow at one end, and wide open at the other, right up against the cliff. Even if we took up the entire valley, we wouldn't be able to build a mansion. It doesn't look like it could accommodate so many people."

Bei Zhenting frowned, and a bad guess came to his mind. If he guessed correctly, this Moon Tower only served to connect the mountains on both sides. The Moon Lord might live here, but there must be a passage connecting to the private soldiers!

"Yaoyao, do you still remember the layout of the granary?" Bei Zhenting looked at Luo Yao.

Luo Yao nodded and looked at Bei Zhenting in confusion.

Bei Zhenting shifted his gaze from Luo Yao's face to the giant black insect crawling in the valley, his expression heavy. "If my guess is correct, there should be many caves in the mountains on both sides, and there may even be passages leading to the private army camp!"

Everyone who sneaked into the Moon Tower was in danger, and no useful information was brought to them. This was an unexpected accident.

Searching for people in Yuelou was indeed a good opportunity to take over Yuelou in one fell swoop, but they sneaked in in a hurry and were not fully prepared.

Luo Yao knew what it would mean if there really was a cave connecting to the private army camp, and looked at Bei Zhenting with some worry.

Bei Zhenting pondered for a moment, then suddenly reached out and touched Luo Yao's head. The gloom on his face disappeared. "Don't worry, this is a rare opportunity. We must seize it no matter what. Have you forgotten that we have explosives? If there really is a passage leading to the private army camp, and Ye Qing can't catch up, we can blow up the passage and cut off the private army camp from this side."

Simple and crude, the cave was blown down directly. Luo Yao gave Bei Zhenting a thumbs up.

Torches were burning brightly beside the wooden bridge at the entrance, and there were more than a dozen moon warriors guarding the front and back of the moon bridge.

With such tight defenses, sneaking in quietly seems impossible... Luo Yao was thinking about how to sneak into the Moon Tower quietly without alerting these Moon People when he heard the sound of quarreling from the hill on the other side.

"How dare you sneak attack me! Are you tired of living?!"

"Who attacked you? I didn't do anything!"

There was a rustling sound in the woods, and two men started fighting. Luo Yao looked at the culprit, Prince Yong'an, who was beside him. Prince Yong'an Bei Zhenting was throwing stones in his hand, as if he was going to throw stones at others.

"We have strength in numbers, Your Highness..." Luo Yao looked at Bei Zhenting in confusion.

Bei Zhenting pointed to the bridge at the entrance.

Luo Yao looked over and saw that there were only four people guarding the bridge. Two moon people were fighting each other, and three or four people nearby were trying to separate them, making quite a noise. Many trees fell down. The moon people guarding the bridge thought they had caught the invaders sent by their master, and they rushed over to help.

At the same time, the guards at the back unexpectedly began to leave their posts. Was this a shift change? Before he could figure out what was going on, Bei Zhenting grabbed Luo Yao and flew down the tree trunk. The two of them landed silently in a blind spot in the Moon Bridge. The four people at the bridgehead were so distracted by the commotion that they didn't even notice Luo Yao and Bei Zhenting leaping onto the bridge.

"Prince! Prince...there is someone in front!" Luo Yao exclaimed.

Bei Zhenting pulled Luo Yao across the bridge in three or two steps and swaggered into the Moon Tower.

As Luo Yao walked, he turned his head to look at the four people guarding the door, "Your Majesty, why don't they attack us..."

"We are one of them. Those four were thrown into the valley to feed the poisonous insects. Now those four are ours."

What?! It was just a split second...

Is it Li Er? Luo Yao was full of doubts when Bei Zhenting pulled him into a dark room.

"Your Highness..." Luo Yao wanted to ask about what happened just now, but Bei Zhenting covered his mouth.

Four people walked out of the wide corridor.

"Master Li Yue said someone broke into the Moon Tower, but we didn't see any suspicious people. Yet, he asked eight of us brothers to help. The Moon Road has been ordered closed, and the person is trapped in the Moon Tower. We've been searching for so long, but we still can't find them. The people under Guishu Yue are really useless!"

"That's right, we're not afraid that the people inside will collude with those outside to sneak in..."

"Stop talking now... After all, we only mobilized eight people. Let's go back quickly. Don't let anything happen at this critical moment..."

The four of them walked past the door of the small dark room where Luo Yao and Bei Zhenting were hiding, one in front and one behind.

Luo Yao pulled Bei Zhenting's hand away and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, could the Moon Path they're talking about be the cave leading to the private army camp?"

"maybe."

These people didn't want their people to infiltrate the private soldiers' camp through this Moon Passage and discover their existence. They closed the passage and trapped them in the Moon Tower. Didn't that mean they were also trapped in the Moon Tower? It seemed like a last resort... something that had to be done, but... why did it feel a little stupid? This was a huge help to them! Luo Yao couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Bei Zhenting tapped Luo Yao on the forehead and said, "Don't be careless. If they can close it, they can certainly open it."

Luo Yao touched his painful forehead and said, "Oh!" "Should we go find that passage?"

Bei Zhenting grabbed Luo Yao's hand and shook his head.

The Moon Tower, occupying the entire valley entrance, was enormous, with cliffs to the front and back. Its interior was intricate, with a maze of interconnected houses and roads, and a dizzying number of alleyways. The Moon People had formed several small teams to patrol the building, maintaining a tight security. Under such circumstances, searching for the Moon Road like a headless fly was pointless; the most important thing was to find one's own people and understand the situation inside.

Due to the invasion of outsiders, the atmosphere in Yuelou was serious, cold and tense. Bei Zhenting and Luo Yao followed one of the patrol teams. They encountered many people searching in two alleys and were almost spotted several times. Luo Yao's heart was pounding all the way.

It was so exciting! Every cell in his body was on alert, and for a moment he didn't notice that the Moon Man in front of him had stopped, and Luo Yao almost bumped into him.

I'm doomed if I get hit, Luo Yao thought in fear. Bei Zhenting suddenly pulled Luo Yao into an alley on the side. Not knowing what had happened, Luo Yao looked at Bei Zhenting in confusion.

Bei Zhenting made a silencing gesture and pointed at the patrol team they were following.

"Hey, I've seen you go over there several times to look for her. How come you didn't find her again?" A teasing voice came from the front of the team.

"Nothing to do with you."

"Of course, I just don't understand how Lord Ritsuki could fall for a loser like you!"

No one responded, and as soon as the troublemaker finished speaking, the sound of fighting was heard.

Luo Yao squatted behind a few wooden boxes and quietly peeked in to watch. The two team leaders were both very good at martial arts and had equal strength. They destroyed the doors and windows on both sides in a few rounds. The other Moon People seemed to have been accustomed to this and quietly stayed away from the two fighting people.

Luo Yao was watching with great interest. Bei Zhenting leaned against the wood helplessly, "It's time to go, Yaoyao."

Luo Yao stood up by supporting himself with the wooden box. The box was not flat, and a small box on top fell down with a "bang".

It’s over! It’s over! It’s really over this time!

"Who?!"
