I wish you two lifetimes

"I'll take you to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake." Liu Chupei pulled Wang Yanzhi forward, "Go at this hour, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake has just been baked, and it tastes so good."

"His family's pineapple cakes are also delicious. Usually, as long as they are just out of the oven, they will be gone within half an hour." He saw that Wang Yanzhi had a calm look, and her steps were not in a hurry, and she began to rush. He got up, pointed to the front and said: "Hurry up, hurry up, we will be there in front of you, if you go later, it will be gone after a while."

"It's not too bad this time. There will always be a chance in the future." Seeing many people gathered in the distance, he frowned invisibly.

"That can't be done, I don't know when the next time will be." Liu Chupei looked around for a while on tiptoe, there were so many people, and today's order might be sold out, she was afraid of missing this opportunity, and immediately He let go of his sleeves, "I'll go first, come and find me later." As soon as she finished speaking, she ran away like a happy rabbit.

Wang Yanzhi stood there for a while, watching her figure gradually disappear into the crowd, and the calmness in her eyes gradually faded away, then turned and walked into the alley next to her.

The intersection of the alley is not big, barely enough for one person to pass through, and it gets darker as you go in.

After turning seven or eight corners, I saw an old wooden door inside. There was a decaying smell, and it was covered with spider silk and dust, as if it had been in disrepair for a long time.

He gently knocked on the door in front of him, the wooden door made a dull sound, and after a while, a crack was opened inside, and the people inside cautiously peeped out, and opened the door after seeing who was coming, and said "squeak——" With a bang, the people inside saw Wang Yanzhi and welcomed him in respectfully, "Master."

When Wang Yanzhi stepped into the courtyard, the man looked out vigilantly to make sure there was no one else, so he closed the door.

The door was the backyard of an ordinary house. The two walked through the backyard to the study, and the man closed the door.

"Is there any news these two days?" Wang Yanzhi turned to look at him.

He said to Wang Yanzhi: "Master, the King of Xiyang has come to Jiankang City. He has arrived today and is now in the palace."

"Oh? Already here?" The corners of Wang Yanzhi's mouth curled up slightly, but without a trace of warmth, "Do you know the reason for his sudden return?"

"My subordinates haven't found out yet, master, but my subordinates think that it should be Princess Linhuai's wedding ceremony is coming soon, and the king of Xiyang loves her the most on weekdays, so this time it should be because of this that he returned to the palace."

"Wu Nan, how many years have you been with me." Wang Yanzhi sat down beside him, playing with the teacup in hand.

"Back to the master, it's been five years." Wu Nan stood aside respectfully.

"Five years." Wang Yanzhi raised his head to look at him, with displeasure in his voice, "Since it's been a long time, you should also know that the word 'should' is the word I dislike to hear the most."

Wunan was taken aback, and immediately realized that he had said something wrong just now, "It's my subordinate's dereliction of duty, and my subordinate knows his mistake." Wunan immediately half-knelt on the ground to admit his mistake.

Wang Yanzhi waved his hand, "He didn't come back today with great fanfare, he just met the emperor, presumably it should be other important matters, it doesn't matter, he can't make any waves now, just send two people here to keep an eye on it. "

"Yes." Wunan raised his head, "Master, after King Huaiyang came back, he has never left his mansion since he entered the palace that day."

"Keep watching, he should have moved in the past two days." He leaned lazily, picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Yes."

"How is the matter between him and Liu Chupei?" It was rare to see a serious look in his eyes.

"We have checked both inside and outside the palace. The strange thing is that this matter has not progressed at all. I am afraid it is just a personal grievance between Princess Linhuai and Liu Yu." .

"Oh, personal grievances." Wang Yanzhi sneered, and then asked, "Has anyone found out about his whereabouts recently?" He put down the teacup and lightly tapped the table with his fingers.

Wu Nan paused, hesitated to speak, and finally said slowly: "A few days ago, a brother was discovered by the people of King Huaiyang." Afraid that Wang Yanzhi would be dissatisfied, he immediately said: "Master, don't worry, the person has already dealt with it. It will harm other brothers."

"As long as you know how to deal with it." With murderous intent in his eyes, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him, "Send someone back to Linyi within three days."

"Yes." He nodded and took the letter, "Master, in the past half a month, I have intercepted many letters from Linyi, and it is time to reply."

Wunan put away the letters, walked to the bookshelf, pressed on the stone wall, and a hidden compartment popped out, inside was a box with seven or eight letters, large and small.

He put the letters one by one in front of Wang Yanzhi, didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

"Heh, he's smart enough to make two preparations." Wang Yanzhi opened a letter, read a few lines, and sneered, "He still doesn't believe me after all."

He put the letter paper next to the candle, and the candle ignited the corner of the letter paper, quickly burning the paper, leaving only a smear of paper ashes, "Don't look at the rest, you wait and burn them together, imitating that person's Reply to him in handwriting, half-truth and half-false, and send it back to Linyi."

"Yes." Wu Nan nodded, he naturally knew who the "that person" was in the master's mouth, and he suddenly thought of something, "Master, where is the fifth princess?"

"Don't move for now. If there is a situation, I will contact you again." Wang Yanzhi estimated that the time was almost up, and got up to leave. Just as he put his hand on the door, he stopped, "Your identity must not be revealed for the time being, and you will be smart in the future." I don’t want today’s situation to happen again, just send someone you trust to see me next time.”

"Yes." He lowered his head, full of self-blame, today was indeed his fault.

When he heard the sound of the door being gently shut, he raised his head, looked around, and burned all the letters on the table.

Liu Chupei waited in the crowd for a while and bought a few pastries, but when she came out, Wang Yanzhi was nowhere to be seen. She was a little surprised that she didn't find him after waiting for a long time. She was a little uneasy, and went back the same way to look for him.

But there was no one there, strange, wasn't he still here just now, it's only been a while, where did he go?

She looked left and right, and suddenly found a small alley next to her. She slowly approached it. The inside was deep and winding, and she didn't know where it led.

Will he be in there?
She looked back and saw that there was no one around, so she mustered up her courage and walked in slowly.

The alleyway was very narrow, and she barely passed by alone. She stepped on the stone road, and there was a "creaking" sound. She walked slowly, looking around, for fear that something would suddenly appear.

The further you walked in, the darker it became. The branches above the head were staggered, covering most of the daylight, making the alley even darker, and she felt a little weird now.

There was a corner ahead, and she didn't know where the road led, so she couldn't help but stop, she didn't dare to go any further, it was clearly still daytime, but it was very cold, a gust of wind blew by, she suddenly got up Goosebumps all over.

At this moment, suddenly, something behind her touched her, and the tense Liu Chupei couldn't control it for a moment, so frightened that she yelled "Ah!", her body trembled, and the strength in her hands suddenly disappeared. , did not hold something in hand.

The visitor had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and firmly caught the thing that was about to fall on the ground, and said to Liu Chupei, "What are you doing so suddenly?"

Liu Chupei hurriedly looked back and saw that it was Wang Yanzhi, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "Why are you scaring me, why are you behind me?" She was still in shock, her voice was still trembling.

"I've been behind you all the time. Seeing you walking here alone, I followed to have a look."

"Where have you been? Why haven't you been seen for so long? I've been looking for you for a long time. I thought you were inside, so I came here to have a look." Liu Chupei pointed to the depths of the alley.

Wang Yanzhi looked in the direction she pointed, and under the weak sunlight, there was a faint light shining in the corner of the wall.

"I just saw candied haws, so I went to buy them for you. I didn't expect you to come back so soon." He stretched out his other hand from behind as if by magic, and placed a bunch of candied haws in front of her.

"How do you know that I like this?" Liu Chupei happily took the candied haws in his hand, the shock just now was gone, she took a bite, the air was full of sweet and sour feeling, she squinted contentedly Squinting, "It's delicious."

"Then let's go." He carried the pastry and walked out.

"Don't you want to go in and take a look?" Liu Chupei took a look inside. Although it was daytime, the inside was very dark, but the more it was like this, the more inexplicable attraction made her want to go in and have a look.

"It's just an alley, but you are very curious about everything." Seeing that she didn't intend to leave, Wang Yanzhi smiled slightly, "Why don't you go in and have a look, I'll wait for you here."

"Don't, don't." Liu Chupei immediately backed out, shrank behind him, and she was not happy to let her go alone. It was dark inside, who knew what would be inside, when the time came, the heavens should not respond, and the earth would not work. of.

"Then let's go." Wang Yanzhi walked out without any further words.

Seeing him leaving, Liu Chupei didn't dare to stay for a moment, and immediately chased after him, "Wait for me, don't go so fast."

"I saw in the picture book before that there are all kinds of villains in this alley who kill without batting an eye."

"Believe it or not, the young lady from that family was dragged into an alley, hacked more than a dozen times, and died in such a horrible way that her family members came to identify her body, but they didn't recognize her for a while."

"Hey, hey, I'm telling you, why are you ignoring me?"

"By the way, this pastry is delicious when it's hot, so hurry up and try it."

"The pineapple cake is gone. You can send someone to buy it tomorrow. I think the pineapple cake is better."

……

Liu Chupei's voice reached the alley, getting softer and softer, and the two gradually disappeared around the corner.

At this moment, a person slowly walked out of the corner, stood where Liu Chupei was standing just now, looked away, slowly put away the sharp knife in his hand, and disappeared around the corner again.
