....Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Ling Heng heard Luo Cheng’s words, he seemed to have found the source of all his sadness. Then, he looked at Luo Cheng.
“Now that I’m wanted by Prince Fu, I’m afraid I’ll have to leave this to you, Luo Cheng!”
When Luo Cheng heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said, “Third
Brother, I can’t show my face either. We can only act in secret!”
“How can that be? You’re not in the capital, so Prince Fu has no reason to make an example of you.” Ling Heng asked in confusion.
“Third Brother, some other things happened after you left! Prince Fu couldn’t do anything to me on the surface, but he used my uncle to lure me into a trap and wanted to blow me up with gunpowder!” Luo Cheng briefly explained what had happened in the Clear Dew Valley.
As for the divine artifacts made by Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng avoided mentioning them and only said that he had escaped death from the Clear Dew Valley.
Ling Heng never expected that Luo Cheng, who he thought was the safest, would be in the most dangerous situation.
At this moment, Ling Heng felt that it wasn’t easy for the two of them to survive!
“By the way, when I entered the palace late at night last time, our father gave me a token. Luo Cheng, take a look and see what this token is for,” Ling Heng said as he took out a token.
Luo Cheng took the token and looked at it before returning it to Ling Heng.
“I don’t know what this is either. Third Brother, didn’t Father say anything when he gave it to you?
Ling Heng shook his head and said, “He didn’t say anything. He only asked me to keep this token safe and said that if anything happens, this token can help me a lot!”
When Luo Cheng heard Ling Heng’s words, he thought for a moment and asked, “Third Brother, tell me about your meeting with Father in detail!”
Ling Heng nodded and began to recall their meeting.
Fifteen minutes pa.s.sed.
Luo Cheng fell into deep thought after he heard Ling Heng’s explanation.
Luo Cheng suddenly thought of something and asked, “Third Brother, what did Father say before you left? He said that it’s cold, so buy more warm things to warm yourself up? He said that there’s a ready-to-wear shop on Mingjiao Road that makes the best cotton clothes and even asked you to buy me cotton clothes to wear?”
Ling Heng said, “Yes, that’s what Father said! At that time, I was wondering why Father said these things to me! Although I didn’t understand, I was still very happy. After all, that was the first time in so many years that Father had expressed so much concern about me!”
“It seems that we’ll have to go to Mingjiao Road’s ready-to-wear shop to take a look! Third Brother, let’s disguise our appearances tomorrow and take the risk! I have a feeling that Father must have left something for you there!” Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “By the way, bring the token you showed me just now!”
When Ling Heng heard Luo Cheng’s words, he nodded. “Alright, I’ll go with you tomorrow! ”
Early the next morning, Ling Heng and Luo Cheng disguise their appearances.
This time, even if they encountered water, it wouldn’t change their appearance. Therefore, even if they stood in front of Prince Fu, the other party wouldn’t recognize them.
Pretending to be brothers who had come in to buy things, Luo Cheng and Ling Heng queued at the entrance of the capital.
When they first entered, since the two of them looked unfamiliar, they were even left behind by the guards to be investigated.
Luo Cheng and Ling Heng immediately understood what he meant. After they gave the guards some money, they successfully entered the city.
The two of them pretended to buy some fabrics and ready-to-wear clothes for their family. Then, they wandered around before finally walking to Mingjiao Road.
There were a total of three fabric shops and two ready-to-wear shops on Mingjiao Road.
Luo Cheng and Ling Heng went in one by one and asked around. In the end, they arrived at the last ready-to-wear shop.
Not many people came to this ready-to-wear shop, so business was very poor.
When Luo Cheng and Ling Heng walked in, they saw that everything inside looked old. There was no attendant in the shop. There was only a shopkeeper sitting there with a sleepy look.
“Sir, we want to buy ready-to-wear clothes!” Luo Cheng walked over and shouted at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was woken up by Luo Cheng’s voice. Then, he quickly rubbed his eyes and forced himself to perk up.
“Oh, so there are customers! I’m sorry, I just didn’t expect customers to come to our shop!”
Luo Cheng and Ling Heng were puzzled.
“Why? Are you chasing customers away from your shop?” Ling Heng asked.
“Of course not! You two haven’t lived in the capital for a long time, right?! Our shop has offended many powerful people in the capital, but my boss is stubborn. Even if he doesn’t have any business, he wants to keep the shop open. He’d rather lose money than close the shop, which means that he’s not afraid of the rich and powerful!” The owner explained with a smile.
When the person beside Luo Cheng heard this, he immediately reminded him, “Is this the ready-to-wear shop that offended four rich young masters in the capital back then?”
As soon as he said this, Luo Cheng and Ling Heng remembered.
Back then, this matter caused quite a big sensation. Later on, news of it even reached the emperor.
In the end, this shop owner received compensation from the four profligate sons. They didn’t dare to cause trouble for this shop openly, but they secretly warned the people in the capital that no one was allowed to buy things in this ready-to-wear shop.
This was why the business of this ready-to-wear shop looked so bleak.
When Ling Heng heard this, he pretended to unintentionally pull open his sleeve and show the token on his arm.
After the shopkeeper saw this token, he didn’t show any reaction. He only said enthusiastically, “Since you’re here, why don’t you come in and take a look?! Our boss doesn’t care about profits. I’ll give you guys a discount. How about that?”
Luo Cheng and Ling Heng looked surprised!
“Sure, sure!” Luo Cheng put on a greedy look and quickly followed the shopkeeper to the ready-to-wear place at the back.
The owner went to get two sets of suitable ready-to-wear clothes and took them out.
“Why don’t you give it a try?! If it’s suitable, I’ll sell it to you at the cost price!”
Ling Heng and Luo Cheng looked around and chose a random outfit. Then, they went to the place to change.
As soon as they left, Ling Heng and Luo Cheng realized that there was something fishy about the ready-made clothes.
Soon, the brothers found a note in their ready-to-wear clothes. They opened it and saw the words written on it.
After reading it, Ling Heng and Luo Cheng burned the note with a match and changed their clothes before going out.
“Brother, these ready-to-wear clothes are really good. If the price is cheap, let’s buy them! ” Luo Cheng nodded in satisfaction.
“This shirt isn’t bad, but it’s too old-fashioned!” Ling Heng shook his head in refusal!
