Three days later, Fang Zilan followed what A Wan told her and went to a teahouse in a remote alley as promised. In the corner, she met the Wheel King who had been waiting for her for a long time.
Fang Zilan sat opposite the Wheel King and poured a cup of tea by herself, "Did you come here by yourself, or did the young master ask you to come?"
"Both." Wheelrunner King pushed his tea cup in front of Fang Zilan. She refilled tea for him and said with a chuckle: "You are really rude."
Chakravartin smiled and said, "Why should we be polite between you and me?"
Fang Zilan was stunned and did not answer. The Wheel-Winning King whispered: "You took the Forgetwort and you can't remember a lot of things. It doesn't matter. Just remember that no matter what you ask me to do, I will do it."
Fang Zilan frowned slightly, "You..."
"Don't believe it?" King Chakravartin smiled helplessly, "Young Master asked me to tell you, don't be meddlesome, keep your secrets, and he will take care of other things."
Fang Zilan took a sip of tea and frowned even more tightly, "Why is this tea so bitter?"
Seeing this, the Wheel King pointed to the small cup on the table, "Your favorite plum blossom soup, eating it will relieve your pain."
"How do you know..." Fang Zilan suddenly stopped mid-sentence. She suddenly found that in front of the Chakravartin King, she felt at a loss as to what to do, as well as a sense of unfounded trust. The pull between the two sides caused her to stop moving.
King Chakravartin was silent for a long time and then said: "What do you want to ask me?"
Fang Zilan pursed her lips unnaturally, "What happened to the assassination of the guy from the southeast?"
"No one wanted to assassinate that person. It's just that when King Chu Jiang was ordered to go to his house to inquire about information, he accidentally exposed his fault." King Chakravartin picked up the tea cup and turned it around. "That person just followed the trend and reported to the capital. Believe, the purpose is..."
Fang Zilan couldn't help but said: "Take the opportunity to strike?"
The Wheel King did not comment, but looked at Fang Zilan steadily. She felt uncomfortable when he looked at her. She coughed lightly and was about to pick up the tea cup. However, she suddenly remembered that the tea was bitter and bitter, so she took the small cup on the table. cup.
The King of Wheels watched Fang Zilan take a small bite of the plum blossom soup, and said calmly: "Isn't this your purpose?"
Fang Zilan was choked and coughed, "What do you mean this is not my purpose?"
The Chakravartin King smiled slightly, "When you were grounded, the young master received a letter from that person. I heard that you had negotiated a deal with that person and asked them to cut off contact?"
"I knew it was impossible for them to cut off contact." Fang Zilan took a big mouthful of plum blossom soup angrily, and the smile on Wheel King's face became even brighter, "But you know that their alliance is not indestructible, and you also know how suspicious the young master is. So you deliberately said in front of the young master that he knew some past events that could be used as evidence, right?"
Fang Zilan sighed softly, "You really understand me."
"Young Master will doubt that person, and he will naturally doubt you too." Wheel-turning King's expression darkened a bit, "You are not afraid of him..."
"I'm not afraid." Fang Zilan's lips curled up slightly, "Young Master is suspicious, and that one is also suspicious. What I want is for them to look good if they bite dogs. Isn't the King of Chu Jiang seriously injured?"
A flash of surprise flashed in the Wheel King's eyes, "How do you know..."
Fang Zilan chuckled and said, "Since I have made a deal with that person, of course I have met him. He cherishes his life very much, and the people around him are not something ordinary people can dismiss. It is inevitable that King Chu Jiang will be discovered, but If you say that you are trying to find out the news, that person will definitely not believe it. Saving one's life is to save face, and exposing the matter to the public as an assassination is nothing more than a beating. But..."
"But Young Master may not think so." King Chakravartin's eyes were deep, "He will only feel that that person is deliberately demonstrating and humiliating him. The already fragile alliance between them may be shattered in one blow."
"Fragility is real, but it's not broken." Fang Zilan wiped her mouth and said softly: "They each have leverage in each other's hands. Although they are suspicious of each other, testing and restricting each other, no one will tear their faces apart. After all, they are both very capable. It is clear that if what they did was known to the world, it would be a sin that could not be redeemed even by death."
Chakravartin couldn't help but ask: "What about you?"
"Me?" Fang Zilan said calmly: "I am still useful to the young master, he will not kill me. He is far away from me, and he will not do anything to me for a while."
The Wheel-turning King pondered for a moment and said, "The higher-ups are looking for you. How do you plan to deal with this matter?"
"The guy above is also suspicious." Fang Zilan sighed helplessly, "He doesn't believe me, and he won't trust the guy from the southeast either. If he doesn't get caught, nothing will happen. Let him do the rest."
"The situation in Beijing is changing, so you have to be more careful." The Wheel King's voice was a little more concerned, and Fang Zilan breathed a long sigh of relief, "The plum blossom soup is good, wasn't it made by the chef of this teahouse?"
"I did it." Wheelrunner King said it very naturally, but Fang Zilan was stunned, "You did it?"
There was a sad look on Wheel King's face, "If I hadn't done it, how could you have eaten it?"
"What do you mean?" Fang Zilan's face was full of doubts. The Wheel King calmed down his emotions and lowered his eyes and said: "It's nothing. You can just forget it."
Fang Zilan quickly searched for the memory of plum blossom soup in her mind and found nothing. She couldn't remember whether she liked to eat, but the unfinished question she asked before, "How do you know I like to eat?" seemed to come from instinct.
After an unknown amount of time, the Chakravartin King broke the silence and said, "I'm leaving."
Fang Zilan hummed, but then she heard the Wheel King say: "I'm going to be away from the capital for a while. You take care of yourself and don't see other people casually."
Hearing this, Fang Zilan's heart tightened and she asked uncontrollably, "Did Young Master attack you?"
"Young master, it's not been a day or two since I've been displeased with you." King Chakravartin raised his hand to cover the back of her hand, "Don't worry, I can handle it."
Fang Zilan lowered her head and looked at the hands of the two of them intertwined. For some reason, she didn't resist at all.
When King Chakravartin saw Fang Zilan's reaction, he suddenly realized that her memory was incomplete, and this move was probably inappropriate. He was about to take his hand away, but he didn't expect her to hold his hand with her backhand, "Promise me that you will come back alive."
"Okay, I promise you." King Chakravartin pretended to smile relaxedly: "After all, I have been practicing swordsmanship with you since childhood. You should have some confidence in me."
"You're embarrassed to say that." Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows, "I'm already ranked number one, but you're still ranked at the bottom of the tenth place."
"Isn't that because my Lan Lan is too powerful?" Wheelrunner King blurted out, and Fang Zilan was surprised: "What did you call me?"
Chakravartin turned his head to avoid her eyes and said quietly: "You heard wrong. I've been delayed for a long time, it's time to leave."
"You..." Fang Zilan watched helplessly as the Wheel King stood up and disappeared from her sight.
She lowered her head and looked at the empty cup. The lingering fragrance of plum blossoms vaguely evoked her memories.
In the memory, the tall man scolded the boy: "She is your master, what should you call her? Tell me?"
The boy's body was shaking violently, but he still looked up at the man, "Dad, I will protect her."
The cowering girl on the side didn't know where she got the courage to rush to the man and said loudly: "I asked him to call me Lan Lan. He did nothing wrong."
That girl is her. That boy is...
Fang Zilan recalled this, got up and chased out, and caught up with the Wheel King on the street not far from the alley, "You..."
The Wheel-turning King looked at the person in front of him without any hint of impatience, and said warmly: "What's wrong?"
"Are we... friends?" Fang Zilan's eyes were full of expectations and worries. The Wheel King smiled brightly, and she realized that when he smiled, he would reveal his pointed little tiger teeth, which was inexplicably cute.
"The relationship between us is whatever you say it is." As soon as the Wheel King finished speaking, there was a clanking sound, and a carriage passed by them. The woman in the car said sternly: "I am here today. He must speak clearly."
Fang Zilan pulled the Wheel King away and thought to herself, isn't this Fang Zitong's voice? Could it be...
