Lock and secure

The people in the Khanzhou compound could not hear Bei Zhenting's thoughts. When they heard Luo Yao sneeze, they all became very nervous. After all, two days ago, Luo Yao was sick and lying in bed, looking listless!

Luo Xinchen: "Brother, brother! Are you okay?"

Looking at the people who gathered around him, Luo Yao shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

"There's a saying about sneezing: one thought, two curses, and three nagging. The first thought means one sneeze means someone far away is thinking of you and missing you. The second curse means two sneezes mean someone is secretly cursing you. And the third sneeze means someone might be talking about you."

Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Young Master, brother sneezed. Could it be that the prince missed you?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao always remembered what Brother Lin Mo said about the prince posting notices all over the city looking for a princess.

Li Xian thought of those people in the palace who were tacitly allowed by Bei Zhenting to bully the young master. She was extremely dissatisfied with Bei Zhenting and immediately turned her head mechanically to look at Zhang Xiaoxiao.

Lin Mo quickly pulled Zhang Xiaoxiao behind him to block Li Xian's sight of killing. Ever since he saw Li Xian swinging his dagger and shaving the stone, Li Xian had become Lin Mo's enemy that he didn't dare to provoke but couldn't stand.

After hearing what Zhang Xiaoxiao said, Luo Yao fell silent.

Will Bei Zhenting miss him?

After leaving the palace, Luo Yao thought a lot. He couldn't understand Bei Zhenting. He was nice to him, but bullied him at the same time. He even allowed the people in the palace to unite and bully him!

But seeing those people bullying him, Bei Zhenting seemed particularly angry...

Luo Yao recalled Bei Zhenting's quarrel with that terrifying, unknown woman in the dungeon. He was half-conscious at the time, but he had never seen Bei Zhenting so furious before...

Bei Zhenting is really a strange person... Luo Yao suddenly felt a little happy!

The sound of a bird interrupted everyone's argument. Luo Yao looked up at the starry sky and saw a gray wild pigeon circling in the air.

Luo Yao pointed to the sky and signaled Li Xian, "A Xian! Xiao Hui is here!"

Li Xian whistled, and the wild pigeon named Xiao Hui immediately landed on his shoulder.

Li Xian took the letter tied to Xiao Hui's leg, opened it and took a look, then handed it to Luo Yao, "Master, Brother Bing has news."

Luo Yao took it and looked at it. He saw that the war had broken out in the capital. The Yuanzhou Red Guards who came to support were ambushed several times on the way to Jingzhou and were stranded at the border of Jingzhou. The capital was short of food and grass!

Alas, the disaster victims in the north are crying out for food, and Bei Zhenting in the capital is also crying out for food!

Luo Yao was in a difficult situation. The donations from Lianyu County continued unabated, and many far-sighted merchants from Northwest and Southern Xinjiang braved the war to come to Lianyu Station to donate and sign contracts. The money kept coming in, but so did the debts... Luo Yao didn't even know how much debt he owed.

Lying in bed, Luo Yao tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

It would be good if changing dynasties could quell the war, but in his heart he still wanted to help Bei Zhenting.

Let's notify Dacishan to send a batch of food over first. Now he has barely stabilized Khanzhou, and the victims will not cross the river for the time being. Then let Zhou Yu send food to the capital.

But who should I ask for escort?

Now there is a war in the capital and he has no soldiers. He knows that there are two people with fish patterns among the people, but only the second brother has appeared so far. The other two who no one knows have not appeared yet!

My second brother is staying with Grandpa and can't go...

The next morning, Lu Hong volunteered, "Young Master, right now only the Nanyan Escort Agency and the Jiangnan Boxing Gym can take on this important task!

After spending so much time with a genius like Li Xian, Luo Yao hadn't even thought about the Nanyan Escort Agency and the Jiangnan Boxing Gym. The Nanyan Escort Agency was run by his uncle's family, and his mother was from the Jiangnan Boxing Gym. The Jiangnan Boxing Gym and the Nanyan Escort Agency were like brothers. His grandfather had come forward to help him find help. Currently, most of the Nanyan Escort Agency's staff were in various places in Yuanzhou, and many people had come to the Jiangnan Boxing Gym in the past two months.

There is food in Daci Mountain, and he has connections. He just needs to ask someone to tell the abbot, and he can transport the food from the grain storage cave on the mountainside to Jingzhou.

If the Red Guards are stranded at the border of Jingzhou, they will be taken directly to the Red Guards’ barracks and sent to the capital!

He sent Lu Hong to handle the matter, and also wrote a letter to Zhou Yu in Yuanzhou. Everything was done, and Luo Yao breathed a sigh of relief. He was so awesome. It seemed that the grain storage in Daci Mountain was simply prophetic!

Ten days later, in the capital.

In a cave near the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the capital, Bei Zhenqing was lying on a huge rock.

A soft blanket was spread on the boulder, and Bei Zhenqing fell unconscious again.

After Bei Zhenqing fainted, a group of soldiers, led by Bei Zhenqing's confidant Ge Hao, went out every day to search for him in the mountains and plains as before.

The person they were looking for was the long-missing Emperor Bei Zhenming.

After searching for several months, no one believed that the emperor was still alive. Bei Zhenqing went crazy several times because he just didn't believe that the emperor was dead.

Half a month ago, a group of people went out in the rain to look for someone. Bei Zhenqing slipped and fell off a cliff. The cliff was not high, but when Bei Zhenqing was found by the soldiers, he was covered in wounds and unconscious.

After waking up from a coma for nearly seven days, Bei Zhenqing's mental state became particularly bad. One day in the middle of the night, he suddenly woke up and went crazy, wanting to get up and look for someone.

A group of soldiers were forced to search for the person with torches in the middle of the night. They searched for a long distance and it started to rain. Bei Zhenqing searched in the rain from midnight to the next night. On the way back, the person fainted again. They found this relatively dry cave, sent the person into the cave and settled him down. A group of people camped near the cave.

During these two days, the guards continued to go out every day to look for the emperor.

At this time, the sun was setting. In the afternoon, a group of people returned to the camp. They ate roasted pheasants and rabbits with dry and hard bread. Everyone was very tired.

"The prince is ill again... Oh... I've climbed over and over again, and now winter is approaching, and I don't know when I'll find him..."

"Eat quickly and then rest quickly. We have to go see the Emperor early tomorrow morning!"

The wilderness in winter was very cold, and you could even see your breath. The soldiers rubbed their hands and huddled together around the fire to keep warm while eating.

After nightfall, the soldiers who were not on duty huddled together by the fire to sleep, while the soldiers on duty took turns guarding to prevent being attacked by wild beasts.

After being examined by the accompanying doctor and taking medicine for four days, Bei Zhenqing finally woke up in the evening of the fourth day.

After waking up, I had lost a lot more weight, my mental state was worse, I felt extremely weak, my skin was pale, my lips were dry and peeling, and my voice was hoarse.

"Have you found anyone?"

Ge Hao: “No…”

Bei Zhenqing was like a disconnected person, asking this question every day. He clearly couldn't find it, but he asked it hundreds of times. He still asked this question more than ten times every day, and his tone was always the same, as he totally didn't believe that the emperor was dead.

Hearing that no one was found today, Bei Zhenqing rarely did not lose his temper. He sat quietly on the stone bed in a daze.

Ge Hao: "Your Highness, are you really going to ignore that man and those soldiers? The capital is about to fall..."

Bei Zhenqing was so angry that he was shaking all over. "I was confused. I should have killed him that time I poisoned him! Now a bag has been sealed in the capital. That person must be hiding well! When I find my brother, I will return to the capital to kill him!" Bei Zhenqing was so emotional that his voice sounded like a leaky bag.

Ge Hao helped him calm down and brought him the evening medicine, three bowls in total.

Bei Zhenqing said nothing and drank bowl after bowl. After finishing the medicine, his brows were furrowed with bitterness. He took the candy without the candy wrapper from Ge Hao's hand and ate it, and then his brows relaxed.

After resting for two days, Bei Zhenqing began to lead the soldiers to search for people all over the mountains and plains.

This search took another half a month.

The setting sun was blood-red that day. Bei Zhenqing and several guards found a cliff. They were about to follow the vines down the cliff to look for someone when a soldier hurried over to report.

"Your Highness! Something terrible has happened! News has come from the capital that the city won't last more than three days!"
