Why do I have the lowest fighting ability among the whole family?

The big man no longer chased after him, and the depression between the man in black's brows dissipated.

He sat on the ground, playing with a dagger in his hand, and yawned casually.

"Shaoshao." Cheng Jinrong called her in a low voice, struggled hard and handed her a knife. He stopped talking and motioned for her to cut the rope around her wrist.

The rough rope tightened around his wrist, causing him pain.

Cheng Jinrong grinned for a while before he recovered.

Probably because they felt that the two children were nothing to be afraid of, neither the man in black nor the big man took them seriously and did not pay attention to them for a while.

Pei Shao struggled for a while before cutting the rope.

She was careful to cut just one way, letting the rope loosen, but not completely.

It's much more comfortable than before. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that the rope has been cut.

Pei Shao quietly handed the knife back to Cheng Jinrong. Cheng Jinrong took it and hesitated for a while, not knowing where he had received the knife.

The two cuddled each other and rested for a while. Pei Shao did not feel panic after being kidnapped, but felt indescribably sleepy.

She forced herself not to close her eyes and followed the man in black to wait for the boss in his mouth.

"Get these two in first."

After an unknown amount of time, the man in black suddenly stood up from the ground. He pointed at Pei Shao and Cheng Jinrong and ordered the big man.

The big man was a little aggrieved. He was about to retort, but then he thought of the man in black threatening him with a knife. He shrank his neck, but finally did as he was told.

He picked them up and threw them into the cave, while he sat at the entrance of the cave.

The originally narrow hole was blocked tightly by him, and no light could penetrate.

The cave was dark and damp. Pei Shao stood up carefully and untied the rope from his wrist.

Cheng Jinrong also followed her.

"Boss."

Hearing the respectful voice of the man in black outside the cave entrance, even the big man stood up from the entrance of the cave. A ray of light came in from the outside, and through the gap that was not completely blocked by the big man, Pei Shao saw the legs of the man outside.

That was probably the "boss" the people in black called him. He was wearing a dark golden robe. The upper body could not be seen, only the pattern embroidered on the lower part of the robe could be seen.

Pei Shao frowned and recognized it for a long time. He felt that it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen such a pattern.

She couldn't figure it out and simply didn't think about it.

Before anyone noticed, Cheng Jinrong and Pei Shao stood up from the ground and started walking around the cave leisurely, as leisurely as visiting the vegetable market.

A kid who doesn't want to be kidnapped at all.

Unexpectedly, there is a locked room inside the cave. It is an iron door. It may have been in disrepair for a long time. There are several holes in the door.

The sharp patches grow on it with claws and teeth, like a grimace.

Through the hole in the door, you can see that the children detained inside are all five or six years old. There seem to be about ten people in the room. Judging from the clothes, they must be children from wealthy families.

At this moment, a group of children were huddled together, and some of the timid ones had already begun to whimper and cry.

"We... we won't be able to go home, right? I also want to eat the crab cakes made by my mother--"

The little girl in a pink dress said blankly, then she flattened her mouth and shed tears as if she didn't want money.

In this environment, this cry was like a reminder.

In this environment, fear spread, and the crying seemed to have some kind of magic. No one could bear it when listening to the little girl's crying.

There were cries in the room, and they were talking about anything.

"My mother... I miss my mother... My father married a little wife. What if he treats my mother badly in the future after I die?"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, my parents are still waiting for me to come home..."

Pei Shao took a few glances and didn't bother to look again. She pulled Cheng Jinrong's sleeve and continued walking forward, then rubbed her eyes vigorously with her hands and yawned.

The cave looked uninhabitable at first glance, and all the facilities were very crude. There was only a tea table and two chairs, which were covered with dust.

The man in black and the boss outside seemed to be arguing about something. The man in black's voice gradually became louder, and the boss's voice also sounded a little unhappy.

Man in black: "Boss, what are you struggling with? If you break up the vote, it will be fine. It will make the old emperor depressed for a while, and we will make a lot of money, okay?"

Boss: "Tearing down votes? What you said is quite simple. Do you know the origins of those people inside?"

Man in black: "I definitely know the origin. I captured these all. What's the use of keeping them? Kill them!"

The boss stopped talking and Pei Shao was a little nervous.

Soon, the sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the cave, and then the somewhat frightened shouts of the big man.

"Where is the person! Why did he run away?! I was obviously tied up well——"

The man in black and the boss didn't look good either.

The boss leaned down and picked up half of the rope from the ground.

The fracture was so neat that it looked like it had been cut by a sharp blade.

The big man immediately took the blame and pointed the finger at the man in black.

"What's the matter with you? Didn't they all search you? Why do those two children still have knives on them?"

The man in black was absolutely furious.

He rolled his eyes at the big man and said through gritted teeth, "Idiot!"

The big man was not afraid of him and smiled like a villain, but he was quickly slapped on the head by the boss.

"What are you doing? Find someone quickly! It's okay if others are lost. Why did Princess Zhaoning and the emperor's grandson run away?"

Then there was the sound of urgent footsteps.

Cheng Jinrong squeezed Pei Shao's hand and asked nervously, "Should we run?"

Pei Shao shook his head.

She didn't feel any excessive malice, let alone...

Pei Shao waved his hand, and an imperceptible light green light came out of his palm.

I don't know why, although she can't recall the specific memory, the spiritual energy she cultivated there can still be used now.

No matter who the so-called "boss" is, let alone these three people, she can suppress even thirty people.

Cheng Jinrong nodded.

The big man was the first to see the two people squatting in the corner.

He pointed at the two of them, his eyes lit up with joy, and he immediately shouted.

"Boss! The princess and the emperor's grandson are here!"

Not seeing the expressions of the man in black and the boss as black as the bottom of a pot, the big man said smugly: "I just said, I guarded the only exit, these two people can't fly out even if they have wings!"

Only then did Pei Shao see what the boss looked like.

Unlike the sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeks she imagined, he looked very majestic, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a high nose. Pei Shao looked familiar.

She frowned and thought for a while.

How come this person... looks like her mother?
Cheng Jinrong's heart was even more complicated.

Looking at the person in front of him, he struggled for a while, and finally shouted in a low voice, "Third Grandpa."
