Taian City.

In the alley, Wei Linqi excitedly carried the box and walked inside.

But not long after he walked in, there was an old woman running towards him from the opposite side.

While running, his face turned pale and ugly.

"Third Young Master, it's not good, Runniang was taken away."

That woman has been a maid in the Xing family for many years and is very good at taking care of people. This time she also hid here to take care of the two of them.

There was not much color on Wei Linqi's face, but he was frightened by the woman's words and turned pale. His fingers couldn't hold the box, so it slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, causing the soup to splash all over the ground.

"Who captured Runniang?"

Wei Linqi said with a glimmer of hope.

He was very afraid that Runniang would be captured by the Wei family. If that happened, he would have no chance or possibility of rescue. Then he would completely fall into despair.

His glimmer of hope was that Runniang might not have been kidnapped by the Wei family.

"It's someone from a pawn shop who recruits wealth..." the woman said in panic.

Not the Wei family!

Wei Linqi breathed a sigh of relief, but turned around and became worried again.

This fortune pawn shop is not something to be trifled with.

Isn't it because the money owed to them is overdue? As for coming to arrest them?

Wei Linqi was worried that the Lucky Pawn Shop would find out his true identity through Runniang and betray him to the Wei family.

However, now he has nothing and nothing to rely on... Should he go to the Lin family again?

It is true that when he fled the Wei family, it was the Lin family who protected him.

But the Lin family is definitely not out of good intentions!

As one of the few big families in Tai'an City, the Lin family is by no means a vegetarian white rabbit. On the contrary, like the Wei family, they are both man-eating wolves.

Doesn't he still understand what their intention was to help him escape from the Wei family's pursuit?

He would never go to the Lin family unless absolutely necessary!

But now, Runniang is accidentally caught, what should we do?

Wei Linqi's eyes flickered and his mind turned over and over again. For a moment, he didn't know how to clear his mind, until he heard a cry from a distance.

"Official!"

The familiar voice made him turn his head and look subconsciously.

He was stunned when he saw Runniang in coarse cloth rushing toward him from a short distance away, almost suspecting that he was hallucinating.

He didn't react until Runniang threw herself into his arms and felt the familiar body temperature.

"Run Niang, is it really you? Did the Lucky Pawn Shop let you out?"

"How could they be so kind...it was the benefactor who spent money to redeem me." Run Niang raised her face, with tears in her eyes.

"Benefactor? What kind of benefactor?" Wei Linqi was very wary.

Who would redeem Runniang for no reason? Is it the Lin family?

The first thing he could think of was the Lin family.

But it is not a good thing to get "favor" from the Lin family. The Lin family will make him pay it back a thousand times.

"Benefactor, it's right behind." Runniang turned her head and pointed to the back.

Sure enough, three people came out from behind.

Two of the women were wearing cloaks and veils, and their faces could not be seen clearly, while the other, a handsome young man named Shengxue in white, was known to Wei Linqi.

"What? Don't you recognize us?" Luo Xingchen smiled slightly.

"Sir, thank you for saving my life."

Wei Linqi took a step forward and bowed deeply.

Although he still had a sense of vigilance in his heart, this life-saving kindness was also solid.

Luo Xingchen stretched out his hand to support Wei Linqi and said, "You're welcome. Let's go back and talk. There are a lot of people talking outside."

"Yes, sir."

Wei Linqi stood up straight and led Luo Xingchen, Zi Yan, and Bi She into the alley.

The old woman was overjoyed when she saw the eldest lady returning safely. Under Wei Linqi's instructions, she walked a few steps quickly to prepare tea.

After learning Wei Linqi's identity, Luo Xingchen suddenly realized that the patched clothes he was wearing were deliberately disguised. He was not without valuable clothes.

After following Wei Linqi into the alley, after twists and turns, we finally came to the entrance of a courtyard.

It's very hidden here, no wonder Wei Linqi is hiding here.

Walking in through the wooden door, you will find a small courtyard house with a lobby in the middle, kitchens on the left and right, and wing rooms, etc. It is quite complete.

"My family is poor and I don't have much to entertain a few distinguished guests. I can only taste the mountain tea brought from my hometown."

Wei Linqi entered the room, asked Luo Xingchen, Zi Yan, and Bi She to sit down, and pointed at the tea that the old woman had prepared in advance.

"It's quite good. It seems that the tea in Tai'an City is good." This was Luo Xingchen's first time to taste this kind of tea, but he could tell that this tea should be a precious local specialty.

After a few words of greeting, Wei Linqi introduced himself: "My surname is Wei and my first name is Lin Qi. I wonder who the master and the two fairies are?"

"I won't hide it from you, we are members of the imperial court."

Luo Xingchen took out a pass, which contained his relevant information and was certified by the imperial court.

"It turns out to be the Admiral!" Wei Linqi stood in awe.

Luo Xingchen, the admiral of the navy, and the eldest son of the loyal and brave general Luo Fengtang. No matter which one of these two identities is used, it is very impressive.

"My two sisters, Sister Ziyan and Sister Bishe, are both hidden guards of the imperial court." Luo Xingchen added.

In order to prove their identities, Zi Yan and Bi Snake also took out their hidden guard identity tokens.

Wei Linqi is a man who has studied and is a scholar, so he is naturally very knowledgeable. He can roughly tell that these identity tokens are genuine.

"It was just a coincidence that I met you. We came from the capital, Taian City, and it was our temporary destination."

"As for rescuing Runniang, I was really moved by your story, and I don't want to see you end badly." Of course Luo Xingchen didn't really mean what he said, but he didn't lie either.

"It seems that I didn't hide it from your Majesty. Your Majesty has seen it... Hey, without you, we would be in danger." Wei Linqi said sincerely.

"Who protected you after you left the Wei family?" Luo Xingchen asked.

"Sir, you know that I am from the Wei family. The risks here are very high. It is better for you not to get involved. It will cause big trouble." Wei Linqi did not answer Luo Xingchen's words, but said sternly.

"Big trouble?" Luo Xingchen raised his eyebrows.

Seeing Luo Xingchen's disapproval, Wei Linqi sighed and explained: "I know that you come from a famous family and you are also an official of the imperial court, but the Wei family is really not simple... The current head of the Wei family, Wei Dewang, was also a Jinshi at that time, and his highest level of work was

Minister of the Ministry, he is retired and at home now, but he was once a member of the Wanjin sect, a great scholar, and his power was deeply intertwined and very powerful."
