The search for the palace had just begun, and a dilapidated carriage had already left the west palace gate of the attendant's residence, and was driving on the road without hurrying. Passing through a lively street market, the driving slowed down.

Small merchants and vendors are constantly hawking, and people of all shapes and shapes are flowing endlessly, and it is very lively.

At the door of a restaurant, a thick aroma of mutton soup wafted in the air, and Xiao Er shouted at the door, "Authentic mutton soup soaked buns, mutton bone soup, slow cooking over low heat, boiled for twelve hours, with freshly killed mutton, mutton tripe, mutton liver." Serve with freshly baked buns. That's really how many times you have to smell it in the world, and this smell should only be in the sky. Xiao Er shouted hard, and he said it even more wildly.

The people in the carriage tapped lightly on the wall, and the carriage slowly stopped at the door of the restaurant. A pale hand lifted the curtain, and down came a young man with the same pale face. The eyebrows are straight, the nose bridge is high, and the cheekbones are not handsome, and it looks a little scary

Xiao Er saw that a guest was coming, so he greeted enthusiastically, "The guest officer is the first time to Anyi City, the guest officer chose my house, my store is a time-honored brand, and the taste is absolutely authentic." Eat once and think twice. Guest officer, please. ”

After listening to Xiao Er's introduction, the man glanced at the signboard on the lintel "Joy Meat Soup House".

The hall is not large, and there are many diners. The downstairs floor is nearly full, and the little two who led the way in the store said politely, "Guest officer, please go up to the second floor, the second floor has a good location and a good view." ”

The man didn't speak, and followed Xiao Er up to the second floor and sat in a window position. The view from the window to the street is unobstructed.

"What do the guest officers eat? Our signature here is the mutton soup steamed bun, and there are some sauces and lo-mei, such as sauce lamb leg and braised lamb liver. ”

"These three things, one copy. Lamb leg lamb liver slices. ”

"The guest officer is really exquisite. Okay, right away. ”

After a while, Xiao Er put together three meals and said, "The guest officer uses it slowly." And he withdrew.

On the second floor, there are private rooms on three sides, and only a few tables of individual guests are on the street. The other tables are eaten in pairs. Only this man was eating alone, which seemed a little abrupt. It may also be that the cold temperament exuded by this man attracts the inquiring eyes of several other people from time to time.

But the man was not affected, and ate the dishes one by one, not in a hurry or slowly, and the eating appearance was very elegant.

About an hour of incense, the guests in a private room finished their meal, opened the door and came out, and before they saw anyone, they heard a crisp female voice and said, "Senior brother, today's food is good, this shop is the most authentic for making mutton soup within a radius of 100 miles." ”。

"It's better to come less in the future, it's not safe." A male voice said solemnly.

"It's not like there's a senior brother following me, it's not a matter to always hide, wouldn't it be better if I could lure him out." Before the female voice finished speaking, she walked out of the private room, and when she looked up, she saw a strong gaze looking straight at her. It was none other than Ruyi and Zhang Yi who came out of the private room.

The man paused and looked at the two men who came out.

Zhang Yi walked out and looked at Ruyi's gaze, and was shocked, but he didn't expect that this girl would really be poked with a word, and his former senior brother was really on the other side. Zhang Yi subconsciously stood in front of Ruyi.

The man watched Zhang Yi's movements and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth. Then I put a piece of lamb liver in my mouth and chewed sweetly.

Because this man's face was too cold, Ruyi didn't see that the corners of his mouth were laughing, but Zhang Yi was familiar with his senior brother, and he knew that it was ridicule, ridicule of him, which meant that you thought that if you blocked her behind me, I wouldn't be able to play Gu? At this distance, I think the Gu has already been finished.

Zhang Yi walked up to the man, arched his hand, owed a debt, and said, "Brother Wizard." ”

The man who was called the wizard brother really stopped this time, leaned his elbows on the table, raised his head slightly to look at Zhang Yi, and said slowly; "Can you still recognize me as a senior brother?"

"Senior brother naturally recognizes it, and he doesn't dare to forget the kindness of his classmates." Zhang Yi said a little respectfully.

"But you've already taken revenge? How can I believe you? Didn't you call me Senior Brother today for the girl behind you, and wanted me to let her go? The man finished a long sentence with a blank face.

"Senior brother, what happened back then was really a misunderstanding. Not what you think. I left after you left. Zhang Yi said earnestly.

"Isn't it? It's a pity that even if it's a misunderstanding, I won't let her go, I have nothing to do with you killing her, you overestimate yourself. The man said coldly.

When the guests at the other tables saw that the situation was not good, they got up and paid and left. Now there are only three of them left in the hall upstairs.

"Okay, even if I'm self-inflicted, why do I ask my senior brother to show me? I know that my senior brother is a bright and upright person, not a nameless Xiaoxiao who disdains to do that secret murderous business. Today, I am willing to show people in person, I must want to tell the reason. Zhang Yi continued to say patiently.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm not the same person I used to be, you look at my current appearance, how can I still be a little bright. I'm just curious to see why you're protecting her. But I've seen it now, and I've seen it at first. After the man finished speaking, he slowly got up, put the money on the table and prepared to leave.

If you think that this is the person who wants to kill him, he killed him for no reason and reasonably, a nameless fire rose in his heart, and he stood up regardless of Zhang Yi's hints, "Your Excellency, let's make it clear, death is also a death to make people understand." ”

Due to the difference in height, the man looked down slightly at Ruyi not far away, his eyes full of scrutiny.

Ruyi was neither humble nor arrogant, and looked straight back, his eyes were full of exploration.

After a long while, the man suddenly showed a trace of confusion, then avoided his gaze and said slowly, "It's you or not, it's a blessing or a curse, it's all in one thought." After speaking, he stopped and walked down the stairs without hurrying.

Ruyi and Zhang Yi looked at each other. What does this person who wants to kill her mean by leaving such a sentence and leaving?

Ruyi pondered this sentence, but there were some waves in his heart, are you or not? Could he see that I wasn't really wishy-washy? Did he know that I wasn't from this era?

Zhang Yi was also puzzled, but he knew that his senior brother was talented, and he must have seen something to say this. Did the senior brother agree to let Ruyi go when he said this and left? Zhang Yi doesn't know.

The two also walked down the stairs and out of the restaurant with their own concerns.

And in the Qingyang Palace, Wei Poppy was so angry that he swept all the things on the desk to the ground with a wave of his hand.

"Dead? How did he die? Wei Poppy said sharply.

Kang Shou hurriedly replied: "Last night, the old housekeeper of the Sun Mansion went out to drink a lot of wine, and he was very drunk, and on the way back to the house, he accidentally fell into the water by the moat, and he was found drowning this morning. ”

"How could it be so coincidental? As soon as I looked for him, he died? Wei Poppy said hatefully.

Wei Poppy paced in the room, "You go and take Nie Zheng in prison to a safe place and don't let others know." ”

Kang Shou was ordered to go out.

Wei Poppy sat down dejectedly, and now look at the news from Kang Ming's side.

The pace of winter is getting closer and closer, the sun is slanting to the west early, the house has darkened early, there is no sunlight, the house is cold and gloomy, a small attendant hurriedly came in and lit the earth dragon, and lit a hand stove and held it to Wei Pop, "The king is cold, and it will freeze if you sit like this." He took another thick cloak and put it on Wei Poppy.

Wei Poppy looked at the void in front of him without focus, and muttered, "She is most afraid of the cold, I don't know if she is frozen." ”
