Lock and secure

"There's no noble or poor; everyone is equal, men and women are equal. Even women can pursue their dreams, go to school, become officials, and have their own careers. The system there provides assistance to those from poor families. There are many welfare policies, compulsory education, free education, nutritious meals, national minimum living allowances, and national scholarships."

For a moment, the two were evenly matched.

Taking on Jiang Qin's attack, Luo Yao continued, "Although natural disasters such as droughts, floods, earthquakes, and typhoons do occur from time to time, the country rescues the people as soon as possible and does its utmost to protect their property and lives."

"Even if a plague strikes, the country won't abandon any of its citizens! This isn't something the government can accomplish alone! It's thanks to the soldiers fighting the earthquake, the medical staff on the front lines, the enthusiastic citizens who braved the dangers, and the mutual support among the people that we were able to overcome all these difficulties safely!"

Jiang Qin seemed to be deaf, and was very confused about this man who ran away inexplicably in a second and then came back to fight with him inexplicably. After listening to Luo Yao say a bunch of inexplicable words, he felt that Luo Yao talked too much nonsense and his offensive did not weaken at all.

"When the imperial court learned of the drought in Hanzhou, they immediately mobilized surplus grain from several surrounding states for disaster relief. However, because someone upstream of the Anxi River was diverting water to release floodwaters, a large portion of this relief grain fell into the river."

"Perhaps this dynasty may have many shortcomings and is not the country you envision. However, this is not caused by one person, and no one person could have caused it. All of this is caused by corrupt officials and treacherous ministers within the country, and the tyrannical states of Qi and Daqi outside. Furthermore, some people are colluding with the enemy, which is why this country is in such chaos!"

The Luo family's spearmanship is honest and there are no messy moves. They have a certain restraint on all kinds of kung fu. In order to protect Bei Zhenting, although Luo Yao's burst of strength did not gain any benefit from Jiang Qin, he barely stabilized Jiang Qin's offensive.

"Your Excellency has lived in the mountains for a long time, but I imagine you've heard a lot of news from the outside world. During these turbulent times, the people of the Great Charity Temple collected grain to aid the victims, and then there were virtuous officials who stepped forward to investigate the anomalies in the upper reaches of the Anxi River. Under the leadership of the Zhou family, countless private merchants raised funds for disaster relief, and martial arts schools and boxing gyms provided generous assistance. Of course, the people of the drought-stricken state worked hard to rebuild their homes."

"Changing dynasties might be a good idea, but are you sure the next dynasty will be an ideal state? Have you ever considered how many innocent people will die in this war-torn land? How will a weakened nation end the chaos after the war? How many years will it take for the people to rebuild their homes destroyed by the war?"

"You've been staying in the mountains for too long. You should leave here and go out and take a look. Go to Yuanzhou and Hanzhou. A lot has changed." Luo Yao turned around and blocked Jiang Qin's sword with his backhand. The jade pendant on his waist and the fish talisman collided with each other, making a crisp tinkling sound. "Your brother is one of those who changed. He was a good man. When the undercurrent surged, he rescued the old prince's family who were defending their country and brought ten years of stability to Dacheng. He was a hero. His death is a regret for my generation and a regret for Dacheng, but!"

"If you want to blame Prince Yong'an for your brother's death, then I'm sorry!" The long spear scraped Jiang Qin's cheek, and blood drew an elegant arc in the air...

"Your enemy has never been this country, nor Prince Yong'an, but those treacherous ministers! You haven't figured it out in eleven years and have even become the enemy's arm. This young master is very disappointed in you!"

Luo Yao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Jiang Qin indifferently, and gripped the spear tightly in his hand.

Jiang Qin was stunned by Luo Yao's words. While he was stunned, a silver needle flew over and pierced the back of his neck. Jiang Qin's hands and feet went limp, and he fell to the ground and fainted.

After hearing what was said just now, everyone who was fighting stopped. Lord Chang Jiang Qin was attacked and fell down. When everyone came to their senses and were about to take action, they found that their hands and feet were sore and their limbs were weak. White smoke floated in the cave at some point, and the battle ended here.

"He also stabbed you, so you don't have to feel guilty."

Luo Yao didn't know who he was talking to.

Bei Zhenting looked up at Luo Yao's back, not knowing what to say. He seemed to have confirmed something...

Luo Yao confirmed his thoughts, "As you can see, I am not Luo Yao. Although my name is Luo Yao, the Luo Yao you like is not me."

Luo Yao's words woke everyone up, and many people had no idea what Luo Yao meant.

Bei Zhenting wanted to explain something, but the words on his lips turned into angry questions, "So, do you know He Xinlin? What's your relationship?!"

Luo Yao said nothing and left the cave without looking back. Li Xian and Li Er looked at each other. Li Er stayed behind and Li Xian followed Luo Yao. "Young Master, where are we going now?"

"I am not your young master."

"What? The young master is the young master!" Li Xian didn't have so many twists and turns in his mind. To him, the young master was the young master.

It is because of their recognition of the Young Master that they have appeared around him one after another...

Besides, he is now extremely curious about the world that the young master mentioned!

After telling the truth, he felt relieved, and the feeling of being relieved covered up the emotions hidden deep in his heart. Luo Yao felt that his fate with Bei Zhenting had ended here, and they wanted to part ways amicably.

What to do next... I don't know... But... what to do now is clear.

go away.

Just leave.

By the time Bei Zhenting had cleared out the remnants of Yuelou and found out Luo Yao's whereabouts after some questioning, Luo Yao had already flown away.

Flying away on a moon ship!

The early sun rose, the moon ship flew higher and higher, and the moon building below became smaller and smaller, only the size of a palm. For some reason, Luo Yao was not interested in the scenery below the moon ship. He raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight and yawned.

I haven't slept well for several days, and I feel a little sleepy...

After giving Li Xian a few words of instruction, Luo Yao pulled the blanket he had snatched from the Moon People guards and lay down in the Moon Boat with his eyes closed to rest.

blue sky galaxy

There is a little white boat

There is an osmanthus tree on the boat

White rabbit playing

The oars are invisible

There's no sail on the boat.

Floating

Floating to the west... reaching heaven...

There is infinite happiness here

There's no sadness here

Childhood memories reappeared in his mind. At that time, the Luo family had not yet started a company. His parents worked in other places and would only return home during the Chinese New Year. He lived in the countryside with his grandfather as a left-behind child.

That was in the early 2000s, when China had just joined the WTO. Technology was not yet so developed, phones were still Nokia, and Luo Yao's hometown had not yet become an urbanized new village.

At that time, transportation was slow and we didn’t have many ideas, but we had something to look forward to every day.

I have fun in the village during the day, wait for calls from my parents after dark, and listen to my grandfather tell stories before going to bed.

A rare and peaceful sleep, free from dreams and thoughts, the moon boat swayed slightly, and the scenes became real, as if I had suddenly returned to my childhood...

It was Chinese New Year, and mom and dad came back home. Mom put him in a backpack and took him to the market to prepare New Year's goods.

Small backpack swaying

My mother carried me down the stilt house with laughter.

This is the first time I taste wild fruits in the deep mountains.

Wash your hands by the clear stream for the first time

The first time I visited the big world in the mountains

The first time I went to the riverbank, I watched a dragon boat race.

……

How wonderful it would be if there had never been a separation...
