Lock and secure

Some people felt pity, some regret, some missed the emperor, and some felt that he deserved it, but since some time ago, the people gradually began to think that it was the Duke's Mansion who was responsible.

The reason is even more appropriate. The Duke won a narrow victory while defending the northwest, while the Prince was defeated while defending the north. Both victory and defeat are inseparable from struggle.

The prince was murdered, but the Duke gained the emperor's trust and was ordered to suppress the civil uprising. Later, he impeached Prince Yong'an in the court and asked the emperor to make a judgment on Prince Yong'an as soon as possible.

Later, Prince Yong'an was sentenced to exile in the northwest, but he was assassinated on the way to exile. The Duke's Mansion was the most suspected.

At that time, even the emperor had doubts about the Duke's Mansion.

Later, the emperor personally sent people to investigate, but the scene was flawless and there was no evidence to prove who was responsible.

The people sent by the emperor himself searched a very large area and finally found some clues under a cliff a few kilometers away from the crime scene.

A fish-patterned talisman, a piece of black cloth, and a dead person with the fish pattern.

The appearance of the owner of the fish-patterned talisman dispelled the emperor's suspicions about the Duke's Mansion.

The fish symbol was found at the foot of a cliff on the northwest border, three mountains away from the scene.

The owner of the fish-patterned talisman suffered multiple fatal injuries. He had been running with heavy loads all night, and his feet were covered with blisters. He fell off a cliff and suffered multiple fractures. He was actually holding on to the black cloth tightly in his hands.

However, the fish pattern symbol involves the taboo of Emperor Mingzong, who is the grandfather of the current emperor.

The people with fish-patterned talismans under Emperor Mingzong had only a hundred men, but they later swore to defend their country to the death in the Jinhuang War, and the emperor at that time survived under the sworn protection of the people with fish-patterned talismans.

The civil war in Jinhuang was approaching the imperial palace. The incident happened suddenly. In just two days, tens of thousands of rebels captured the capital. There were only 500 people with Yuwen. After the war, only six were left. In order to protect the six survivors, Emperor Mingzong issued a death sentence: there will be no more Yuwen in Dacheng.

So no one knew where the fish-patterned people went after leaving the palace.

Two of them followed Duke Luo Lin, who was only 20 years old at the time and became famous in a battle at Jinhuang Station. Two followed the then Crown Prince, the late Emperor. As for the last two, Emperor Mingzong did not say much, only that he returned home because he was seriously ill.

What everyone didn't know was that Emperor Mingzong gave each of the remaining five people a secret decree, and they didn't even know the content of the decree.

However, they had no token to contact the Fish-Patterned People, and the Fish-Patterned People were not under their command.

The discovery of the man with fish patterns made the late emperor furious but also calmer. Only two of them knew about the man with fish patterns.

The late emperor had not expected that the fifth person of the Fish Pattern Man would appear and rescue the son of Prince Yong'an.

People from the Duke's Mansion in the northwest also found Bei Zhenting who was rescued by the farmers.

After his parents' death, 17-year-old Bei Zhenting inherited the title. The young and unstable boy also transformed into the extremely violent King of Hell, Bei Zhenting, who kills decisively and mercilessly.

Bei Zhenting arrived in the northwest and controlled the entire northwest within half a month.

The late emperor also knew that there could not be two tigers in one mountain, so he ordered the Duke to guard the northeast instead.

In this way, the garrisons of Prince Yong'an and the Duke's Mansion were exchanged.

Although he was the exiled King Yong'an and could not use troops, he was able to govern the country and unite with local garrisons to defend the northwest, preventing Longqi, now the Northern Qi, from invading.

Luo Yao roughly knew what happened at that time, but he just didn't know the details.

After listening, Luo Yao remembered several people, one was the prime minister of the dynasty, one was a king of a different surname, Jiang Chengze, and the current King of Qi.

He also felt that these three people were suspicious.

"Where's that fish-patterned talisman? Does Bei Zhenting know anything about this fish-patterned man?"

"The matter of the fish-patterned talisman is a secret of the imperial court, a matter of great importance. It was not convenient to make it public at the time, so it was kept by His Majesty. The fish pattern originally belonged to the royal family, and upon death, the talisman must be reclaimed. The late emperor said that he would give the fish-patterned talisman to Bei Zhenting when he got married. After all, Bei Zhenting at that time... I believe His Majesty will eventually reveal the truth of what happened back then to the world."

"Then, where is the black cloth?"

"Grandpa originally wanted to resolve this feud during his lifetime, but Prince Yong'an's marriage to you disrupted the plan. Now, in order to protect you, you should also know."

"The black cloth was sewn into the purse your mother gave you as a birthday gift, serving as its lining. This matter should not be exposed unless necessary. Ten years have passed, and that power is still latent. I'm afraid that if the black cloth were to appear in the world, the world would be in turmoil."

"Don't you think His Majesty knows such an important clue?"

Luo Lin nodded.

Luo Yao suddenly felt a little sympathy for Bei Zhenting.

Perhaps it was because he didn't know about the fish-patterned talisman and the black cloth that he didn't investigate what happened and avenge his parents and the people in Yong'an Palace for ten years.

"That force is probably also afraid of the sudden appearance of the Fish Patterned People, because they are the royal death squads from the founding period of Dacheng, and they are like Rakshasa in Dacheng. Although six people are not to be feared, they come and go without a trace. The fifth person who appeared back then also killed a hundred people before saving the young prince. The Black Cloth Force has been hiding for ten years. If Black Cloth appears in the world, I am afraid that if Black Cloth appears, that force will definitely kill them all, and I am afraid that what happened ten years ago will repeat itself. If it is not necessary, let it disappear from the world and never appear again."

Luo Yao felt that Bei Zhenting was so pitiful that he didn't even have the right to know the truth.

"Won't it be exposed that the Emperor gave the fish talisman to Bei Zhenting?"

"The Fish Mark Talisman appeared nearly a hundred years earlier than Emperor Mingzong. I'm afraid the only ones who know about it are the current emperor, grandfather, and now you. If Prince Yong'an eventually finds out, he'll know. After ten years, some truths should be known to the world, and that force should have been eradicated."

"Grandpa, do you know where the two fish-patterned people from the Duke's Mansion are now?"

"Grandpa doesn't know either. Although these two fish-patterned people follow the Duke's Mansion, the Duke's Mansion cannot summon them, and there is no token of trust."

"I'm afraid it's just like the fifth fish-patterned man. When he shows up, his life is at stake..."

"Does His Majesty have a token?"

"The tokens were burned long ago by Emperor Mingzong, so His Majesty should not be able to summon them."

Luo Yao understood that this was the divine man who came and went without a trace.

After hearing the whole story, Luo Yao felt his head buzzing. There was too much information!

After seeing Grandpa off, Luo Yao lay on the bed, feeling very tired. He took out the purse from his waist and tied the purse and a cute wooden fish head talisman together.

Luo Yao has memories of both of these things. One was given to him by his mother on his birthday, and the other was a talisman passed down from the Luo family. Both could bring safety, and the other was a family heirloom that he had been wearing since he was very young.

Looking at this ordinary little purse filled with some herbs, Luo Yao turned over a corner and saw the black cloth lining!

He didn't even know that he was carrying such a dangerous thing every day, and had been carrying it for so many years!

It’s really scary just thinking about it!

Feeling a little dizzy, Luo Yao quickly fell asleep.

After a nap until the afternoon, A Shi came to call Luo Yao to eat.

The dinner was prepared by the cook and was quite ordinary. After the meal, after a few instructions, Luo Yao was ready to return to the Yong'an Palace.

When a woman returns to her parents' home, she cannot sleep at her parents' home. There is also a tradition that the room cannot be empty for one month after the wedding, which is unlucky. Even if she marries far away and sleeps at her parents' home, the couple cannot sleep in the same room.

Luo Yao said goodbye to his grandfather, knowing that he would hardly see him again after tomorrow.

Luo Xinchen threw a tantrum and didn't want to go back to Yong'an Palace.

Bei Zhenting grabbed her collar and carried her onto the palace carriage.

Luo Yao felt heavy-headed and dizzy the whole day.

After getting on the carriage, he sat next to Luo Xinchen and closed his eyes to rest.

Luo Xinchen hated Bei Zhenting so much that he didn't want to go back to the devil's house at all!

When he was dragged into the car, he stared at Bei Zhenting.

Bei Zhenting was looking at Luo Yao who was resting with his eyes closed.

In your position, you should formulate policies, exercise your power, and fulfill your responsibilities. If you are successful, you should benefit the world; if you are poor, you should improve yourself...

Where on earth did this prince learn this? I wonder what the emperor would think when he knew this.

Although Dacheng has experienced a brief period of peace, corruption is indeed rampant...

If we do nothing, we will soon face internal and external troubles...

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Yong'an Prince's Mansion.

The carriage shook and Luo Yao woke up in a daze. When he got off the car, he forgot to pick up his brother.

Li Qingyun carried the young master down.

Bei Zhenting also jumped out of the car.

Ignoring Luo Yao who was standing there, Luo Xinchen held his brother's hand.

"elder brother?"

"Let's go, Chenchen"

Luo Yao raised his foot and his vision went dark.

In an instant, the world spun around and I fell to the ground.
