Lock and secure

The carriage was waiting at the palace gate early.

The four of them got on the carriage and sped out of the city.

The emperor was angry and gave them the opportunity to leave. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. If they stayed for a moment longer, and the emperor changed his mind and wanted to kill them, they would be really finished. The group did not stop.

After leaving the city, Luo Yao felt a little stiff when he saw the older Jiang Weiwei and a one-year-old child in her arms outside the city gate.

Bei Zhenting nodded to the woman and dragged Luo Yao with his weak body, "Don't be afraid... Let's take that carriage."

Luo Yao said "Oh" in a daze, without looking at Jiang Weiwei again, and helped Bei Zhenting into the carriage.

Xiao Bi got on Luo Yao and Bei Zhenting's carriage very naturally, sat outside, and occupied Li Xian's seat.

Li Xian's position was occupied, so Li Qingyun was destined to move out and be driven out by Li Xian.

Li Xian became the coachman, and Xiao Bi rested calmly against the carriage, holding his left arm which had been bandaged briefly.

The carriage started moving, and Li Xian was very curious about this companion who appeared out of nowhere.

"I heard the old emperor call you Xiao Bi. This shouldn't be your real name, right? What's your code name?"

"Seven." Xiao Bi was very cold.

"It's Xiao Qi. We haven't seen you before."

Li Xian had a lot of questions to ask, but the person involved just closed his eyes.

"You're so young, and you're so cold and aloof, you won't be able to find a wife in the future."

Seeing that Xiao Bi was still ignoring him, Li Xian snorted, stopped teasing the child, and concentrated on driving the carriage.

The carriage drove two miles out of the city and picked up Ye Qing. The group drove south without stopping for a moment.

This trip means sleeping in the open air.

Bei Zhenting was too weak to travel long distances, and Xiao Bi's injury was more serious. In order to take care of the two injured people and avoid being hunted down by the emperor's pursuers, the group went south all the way to find a suitable place to stay. Finally, they found a hidden cave to rest before sunset.

Xiao Bi's injury needed to be treated under sufficient light. Before the sun set, Ye Qing raced against time to clear the bullet out of Xiao Bi's arm.

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old child was in so much pain that his face was covered in cold sweat. A different expression appeared on his face, and Li Xian wanted to tease the child again.

"Xiao Xiao, you are the youngest among us. From now on you have to call me Brother Xian, understand?"

Xiao Bi looked at Li Xian as if he were an idiot.

Li Xian continued: "I have some painkillers here, call me Xian and I'll give them to you."

Xiao Bi turned his head away, took out the painkillers from his arms and swallowed two.

"..."

You can do it, Li Xian gritted his teeth.

"I also have the best Lingyue Pills. They can also relieve pain and help your wounds heal faster."

After hearing about Lingyuedan, Xiao Bi finally became interested.

Luo Yao came over with a bowl of meat porridge in one hand, stuffed one of the bowls into Li Xian's hand, and scolded him: "Do you have Lingyue Pill? You are talking nonsense."

Li Xian: "Don't you have one, Princess?"

"You're so poor! Lingyue Pills are life-saving pills used to relieve pain. Do you have a mine at home?"

Li Xian shook his head and stared at the meat porridge on the spoon handed to him by Luo Yao with some confusion.

Luo Yao was helpless and gestured for him to look at Xiao Bi who was resting with his eyes closed. "His hand is injured. I asked you to feed him."

"Oh, what about mine?" Li Xian asked.

"There's a big pot of food in the pot. Go and help yourself to feed him."

Luo Yao said as he entered the cave.

Li Xian brought the porridge closer to Xiao Bi.

As soon as he got close to Xiao Biren, he opened his eyes.

"Eat, I'll feed you."

Xiao Bi tilted his head and closed his eyes again.

"Hey, why are you like this? I fed you because I saw you couldn't hold the bowl." Li Xian said angrily. He put the bowl aside and was about to stop the man from pouring it into his mouth.

The moment Xiao Bi reached out his hand, he opened his eyes and looked at him, "My brother died a long time ago."

Li Xian was stunned for a moment by this incoherent sentence, and said helplessly: "Okay, uncle, do you want to eat it or not? If not, I will eat it myself."

"Eat." Xiao Bi said concisely, pointing to the ground, "If it gets cold, I'll eat it myself."

Li Xian nodded resignedly, put the bowl on the ground, stood up and left.

Xiao Bi looked at the bowl on the ground.

Li Xian came back and brought a flat stone.

Xiao Bi was a little puzzled, but Li Xian ignored him and left.

After a while, Li Xian came over with a bowl full of meat porridge, placed it on the clean "stone table", picked up the porridge on the ground and began to gobble it up.

Xiao Bi said nothing and closed his eyes.

Bei Zhenting did not take the antidote and fought with the imperial guards, which triggered the Thousand Machine Poison and burned his heart and lungs. Fortunately, Luo Yao gave him the antidote in time to suppress the toxicity and save his life.

After Ye Qing's treatment, Bei Zhenting's symptoms stabilized slightly.

After a night's rest, the group continued on their journey, but because of the injuries, their marching speed was a little slower.

Three days later, they left Jingzhou and entered Yuanzhou. They camped at the border for one night, and Xiao Bi disappeared the next morning.

Xiao Bi is a man with fish patterns. He comes and goes without a trace. After his arm was bandaged, he is rarely seen except when he is eating. The group has gotten used to it.

"His hand was injured, and he wanted to go to Yuanzhou. It was inconvenient for him to go alone, so he followed us. Now that we have entered Yuanzhou and the town, he will leave naturally." Li Xian chewed a piece of grass and muttered to Luo Yao.

"Are you very familiar with him?" Luo Yao curled the corners of his mouth, looking a little contemptuous of Li Xian.

"That kid is very fussy and cold. I've been taking care of him these past few days, but he didn't even tell me he was leaving. What an ungrateful person."

Although he said this, Li Xian had an indifferent expression.

Li Xian was not worried about Xiao Bi, Luo Yao understood.

The friendship and trust between people with fish patterns are so unreasonable.

They are like brothers from the same mother scattered all over the world, strong, free and independent.

Everyone's ideals are similar but also have some differences, so the paths of life are not the same.

We drank and talked happily when we were walking together, and the time of separation was just as ordinary as going out for a drink early one morning and not coming home.

Because like-minded friends are destined to meet again, they will not go out of their way to say goodbye to anyone. This is probably the way masters get along with friends.

Luo Yao was a little envious of Li Xian.

The early sun rises, and the sunlight shines on everything, making you feel warm on your body.

The horse's hooves slowed down, and Luo Yao tilted his head and asked Li Xian: "By the way, Ah Xian, what are your plans for the future?"

Li Xian thought about it and shook his head.

"I don't know for now. I'll follow you first and tell you later."

"Okay." Luo Yao nodded.

This time they had to take a detour to Baibing Forest to pick up the Duke, Luo Xinchen and Ye Lin.

This was their plan to get out of the city alive, and Qingye Valley had already sent a letter to inform them a few days ago.

The reason for going to Baibinglin was, firstly, to pick someone up, secondly, to ask Gu Lao about Bei Zhenting's Thousand Machine Poison, and thirdly, Ye Qing wanted to get some medicine.

The group arrived at Baibing Forest three days later. Luo Yao hadn't seen his grandfather and brother for a long time, and he had countless things to say.

Ye Lin is still the same gloomy little devil. Little Tuanzi has grown one year older. He hasn't seen his brother for a long time and is crying his eyes out.

Luo Xiaoye already looks mature for his age. He follows Luo Xinchen around all day and looks very reliable.

Du Bing still looks like the cold, majestic and loving father he used to be, while Zhang Jiji and A Shi are nagging and keep talking to the "young master" all day long.

A corner of the carriage door curtain was slightly lifted. Looking at the family chattering around the fire outside, Bei Zhenting curled his lips slightly and lowered the curtain.
