Li Yunze sat on the sofa and ate noodles. The three of them looked at him.
"I'll talk to you after I finish eating the noodles."
I walked all day today and didn't even eat well.
In the evening I had a big bowl of sorghum noodles at Uncle Shitou's house. But two hours had passed and he was already hungry.
"You eat slowly, we are not in a hurry. If it is not enough, I will serve it to you. There is still more in the pot."
Ye Mingzhe dug out another large spoonful of egg marinade and put it in his bowl.
After eating two bowls in a row, Li Yunze put down his chopsticks and told the three of them about his conversation with Marquis Dingbei.
Ye Yutong said: "Now that things are settled, don't go out. Rest here for two days, and I will go to the capital with my eldest brother and my second brother."
The capital is now the territory of Li Yunkai and Li Yunhao. If Ping An is discovered, it will be difficult to escape.
They traveled thousands of miles to the capital, why couldn't they just leave? I have to buy something to take back anyway.
The capital is a gathering place for the powerful, and there is no shortage of supplies that are not available in other towns.
Although Li Yunze was a little worried.
But I thought that Tongtong and his two uncles were very smart and nothing would happen, so I didn’t try to dissuade him.
Just let them stroll around and relax, it was still very hard after following him for so long.
Early the next morning.
The three brothers and sisters each wore a set of ordinary clothes and found a secluded place to make room.
This kind of clothing can be seen everywhere in the capital, and it is the dress of ordinary people.
The street is very lively, with vendors shouting and selling various food and gadgets on both sides of the street, which makes people dazzled.
The things sold on this street are very ordinary, and the people living nearby are ordinary residents.
Ye Yutong and his two brothers walked into a cloth shop. There were ready-made clothes and cloth of various colors.
Ye Yutong asked for a few pieces of cheesecloth and fine cotton and paid the deposit. I agreed with the shopkeeper that I would come over in the evening.
The three brothers and sisters went to other cloth shops and bought a lot of fabrics in the same way.
In the future, there will be more and more people on the mountain, so we need to prepare more of these things.
"Hey, you little bastards don't have eyesight." An old lady dressed in a coquettish way put her hands on her hips and pointed at the three of them and cursed.
Ye Mingzhe got up from the ground and said angrily: "You old woman is so unreasonable. You obviously didn't look at the road and bumped into us, and now you're beating us up and cursing us."
"Hey, you stinky boy, you are still here with your sharp teeth and sharp mouth. Look at me, I won't tear your mouth apart."
As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed over with his teeth and claws.
Ye Mingxuan pulled his younger brother and sister behind him, grabbed her outstretched arm, and said expressionlessly:
"Auntie, you knocked my brother down first and cursed him last. Now you're going to do it again because we're young and easy to bully?"
The charming girl looked at him holding her hand, rolled her eyes, and shouted:
"You brat, you didn't learn well at a young age, and you dare to take advantage of me. Why don't you ask me who I am? You can just touch me as you please."
Ye Mingxuan blushed with anger at her shameless words. He immediately let go of her wrist, as if shaking something dirty.
Ye Yutong came out from behind his eldest brother and said with a smile: "Old lady, don't you even look in the mirror when you go out?
Look at your big, fat face. The white powder doesn’t cover the age spots on your face. There are also those thick pleats that would cause mosquitoes to get their legs pinched if they climbed up.
You actually said that my brother wanted to take advantage of you. How did you say this? Seeing as you are getting older, do you think you don’t have the old face anymore? "
"Pfft." The waiter at the teahouse next to him couldn't help laughing, but he immediately covered his mouth and shrank his head in fear.
This madam is not easy to mess with! She is the mother of Chunfeng Tower next door.
There are many girls and thugs under his command, and they are also involved with dignitaries in the capital.
Often help those who have special hobbies find partners. No one around here dared to mess with her for fear of offending a big shot.
I heard that she bought a car full of boys and girls from outside a few days ago, probably for those people as well.
The old madam was scolded like this by a little girl. Her chest heaved up and down with anger, and her eyes stared at her viciously.
But when she saw the faces of the three of them, her anger immediately dissipated. What a handsome young man and young lady.
The third master was dissatisfied when he saw those children two days ago, saying that they were dry and uninteresting.
Yesterday I happened to get a little boy with long and delicate hair. If you send these three water spirits over again, you will definitely make a lot of money.
Especially this little one, which looks soft and squishy, must be to the third master's taste.
Seeing the calculating look on her face, Ye Yutong knew that he couldn't stay in this place.
She doesn't know what these old ladies do? But by the way he dresses and talks, he doesn't look like a serious person. It will be very troublesome to get involved with such a person.
She and her two brothers winked, and the three of them ignored her and walked forward quickly.
The old woman didn't stop them. She smiled at the three people's backs and returned to Chunfeng Tower.
Then several men came out from the back door and followed the three of them from a distance.
Ye Mingxuan glanced behind him and found no one following him, but his vigilance did not relax at all.
"Eldest brother, second brother, let's find a remote place first. I think that old lady won't give up."
Ye Yutong felt very uneasy, always feeling that something was going to happen.
But now there are people coming and going on the street, and it is broad daylight, so there is no way to bring the two brothers into the space.
"Second brother, sister, if something happens, I will stop you and you two will run away first."
He is the eldest and cannot let anything happen to his younger siblings.
Ye Mingzhe said: "Brother, sister, when I came here just now, I saw an alley in front of me. There was no one there. Let's enter the space from there!"
Ye Yutong nodded, "Okay, let's go!"
But the three of them had just reached the entrance of the alley.
Ye Mingzhe and Ye Yutong were caught by a few strong men. Before they could struggle, they were knocked unconscious.
When Ye Yutong woke up, he was tied up and thrown into a dark room.
It took her a while to adjust before she could clearly see everything in the room. The eldest brother and the second brother were lying next to her, not yet awake.
Also tied up like them were a dozen children about the same age as them.
There were several smaller ones lying on the ground, they looked to be only a few years old.
Wearing thin clothes, two children are still coughing. They must have caught a cold.
Ye Yutong looked at this small room, which had no windows. A small exit was blocked tightly.
This should be a basement.
She gently kicked her two brothers with her feet. After a while, the two of them slowly woke up.
After understanding their current situation, the three siblings quietly moved to the wall.
Ye Mingzhe and Ye Mingxuan blocked their sister behind them. It was dark here, so no one noticed that she disappeared.
