I wish you two lifetimes

When Liu Chupei woke up, she felt sluggish all over, as if her whole body was more sore than before sleeping, she raised her hand and rubbed it, she sat up, and suddenly screamed in shock, "Ah—"

"Did you see the devil?" The visitor gave her a displeased look.

"You...Why are you here?" Liu Chupei looked around, a little strange, she couldn't figure out where she was for a moment, she returned to Jiankang?Impossible, she only squinted for a while, but... why did Xie Heng arrive so soon?
I believe she dragged the landlord to send it out yesterday.

"Why am I not here?" Xie Heng glanced at her angrily, "It's good for you, the letter to me is just two words, and you don't say anything. If you are not hurt now, I will definitely type it up. You have a meal."

"Then how did you know I was here?"

"The fourth prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty disappeared with you, and news came from the city that he was killing people in Kuaiji. I vaguely guessed that you were here, so I came here. Fortunately, you are really here, do you know?" , You haven’t seen each other for the past few days, Jiankang City is in chaos, the empress is crying, and can’t sleep at night.”

Hearing these words, Liu Chupei blamed himself a little, because he was being self-willed, and he should go back as soon as possible.

"Pack up your things and go back with me." Xie Heng glanced at her, "I'll wait for you outside."

go back?Liu Chupei was stunned, she wanted to go back, but she didn't want to go back, Yan Zhi was still here...

Xie Heng pushed open the door and walked out, looking at Wang Yanzhi who was standing at the door looking at him calmly, "Thank you very much."

Wang Yanzhi looked at him, but didn't speak.

Xie Heng looked at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, thank you, but I still want to say, why didn't Mr. Wang know about Ah Chu, why didn't he tell us that he came here first. Fortunately, she is just now I hurt one hand, if there are other mistakes, I don't know how you should explain it."

Wang Yanzhi looked at him, smiled slightly, his face was gentle as usual, he didn't seem to be angry because of his words, "I don't know what is the identity of the third son of the Xie family who said these words to me?"

Wang Yanzhi sneered in his heart, hum, the brat really is the brat.

Xie Heng was taken aback for a moment, he knew that the person in front of him was taunting him in the open and in the dark, he looked at him, and his heart was full of jealousy, how could he not know Liu Chupei's feelings for the person in front of him, she might have fallen into it early, " I don't have any status, but relying on my ten-year friendship with her, I'm saying this as a friend."

Wang Yanzhi smiled without saying a word. Could it be that he still wants to quarrel with a stupid boy?
"I'm going to take her back today." Xie Heng looked at him with firm eyes.

"No." Wang Yanzhi dropped two words and knocked on the door instead.

"Wait a minute, I'll be fine soon." Liu Chupei's voice came from inside.

Liu Chupei straightened her sleeves casually, and opened the door. When she saw Wang Yanzhi standing at the door, her eyes lit up, "Yanzhi."

"Why say no, what are you going to do with her?" Xie Heng looked at him displeased.

Only then did Liu Chupei see that there was a Xie Heng next to him, "Then what are you talking about? Can something work?"

"Tuobalue's whereabouts are uncertain these few days, and he must not leave the city rashly. If something happens to him on the way—"

"I will protect her, you don't have to worry." Xie Heng interrupted him, no matter what happened today, he would definitely take her away.

"Really?" Wang Yanzhi glanced at Liu Chupei, "Do you want to go back with him? If you want to go back too, then I won't force you anymore."

Liu Chupei looked at Wang Yanzhi for a while, and Xie Heng for a while, what should I do?How to choose at this time.

Xie Heng naturally knew what she was hesitating about, so he couldn't help but be cruel, "The empress's health has been getting worse and worse recently, and she coughed up blood yesterday." He didn't plan to say these things at first, for fear that she would worry, but now he has to say up.

Liu Chupei's expression tightened, "How's the queen mother? Why did she suddenly cough up blood?" Liu Chupei was a little anxious, "Then let's go back quickly." She looked at Wang Yanzhi with an apologetic face, "I'm sorry, I have to first gone back."

"Okay." After Wang Yanzhi finished speaking, he turned around and left. He knew that she would choose this way, but it still made his heart sink.

Looking at his back, Liu Chupei felt very uncomfortable, but her mother's illness made her very worried, and she had to go back.

Until Liu Chupei got into the carriage, Wang Yanzhi was nowhere to be seen. She stood outside the carriage and looked around.

"Still going up?" Xie Heng urged.

"Oh, right away." Liu Chupei finally got into the carriage reluctantly, and she looked back again, her eyes full of disappointment.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't see him, she is afraid that she will see him, so she doesn't want to leave.

Liu Chupei smiled bitterly, Wang Yanzhi was far more ruthless than her.

"Let's go." After the two sat down, Liu Chupei said to the driver. She opened the car curtain and looked at the door.She knew clearly that he would not come again, but she still had some hope in her heart.

The carriage gradually went away, and the scene in front of her was getting farther and smaller, until it disappeared, and she looked away.

And the two who stood on the second floor watching the carriage go away, turned around when the carriage disappeared.

"Since you can't bear it, why don't you see her? You look at her looking forward to your appearance. I feel a little pitiful. You are really cruel." Jiang Yu stood behind Wang Yanzhi and clicked his tongue a few times.

"I still have to leave if I see you. It's better not to see you. Then I'll be even more reluctant. If I can't leave, won't the Xie family boy still blame me?"

Jiang Yu laughed, "You are jealous of your feelings, hahaha, I didn't expect you to have this day, but to be honest, the Xie family boy really protects her too tightly, you have to work harder. This kind of childhood sweetheart is the most—"

"Noisy." Wang Yanzhi didn't intend to continue listening, and turned to leave.

"Are you still depressed?" Seeing her depressed look, Xie Heng didn't know what she was thinking.

"No...it's nothing...I'm just worried about my mother's illness..."

Xie Heng didn't expose her, he looked at Liu Chupei, couldn't help sighing, his eyes were full of worry, "Ah Chu, Jiankang City is about to change."

"What do you mean?" Liu Chupei was taken aback for a moment, she didn't care about other things.

"This time, what happened with Tuobalue completely angered the emperor, and he planned to send troops to attack the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Liu Chupei's heart skipped a beat. Wang Yanzhi also told her so, but she didn't expect that a war would really start.

"Did you say when?"

"Reorganize the troops, and send troops to the Northern Wei Dynasty in a month's time."

"How did you know about these things?" Liu Chupei couldn't help but suspect that these things were all secret matters in the court, and only important officials in the court would know.

The light in Xie Heng's eyes dimmed, "It is the King of Xiyang who is going to fight, he told me."

Liu Chupei's pupils shrank suddenly, "What did you say?" Why is it the second emperor brother? "Brother Huang has never led troops to fight. Wouldn't it mean to send him to die? Why did Emperor Father make such a decision?"

"Then tell me, who else can take on this important task? Could it be the prince?"

"Why not?" It's also her brother, but her heart is even more partial to Liu Zishang, she doesn't want Liu Zishang to go.

Xie Heng sneered, "Him? Ah Chu, this expedition is not all at the emperor's will. It is the crown prince who recommended King Xiyang to go!"

"Why! Doesn't the prince know that this time he went there and was close to death? Doesn't he care about the brotherhood at all?" Everyone can avoid this kind of thing. If they have made military achievements, they can still save their lives. After returning It should be an official and a noble, with infinite scenery.

But the second emperor brother is already a prince, and these things don't have much effect on him. Wouldn't it be good to be an idle prince?What's more, if the sword has no eyes, if he can't come back... Liu Chupei dare not think about it anymore.

"Brotherhood..." Xie Heng paused, "Everything is insignificant in front of imperial power and supreme status and power." He looked at her distressedly, "Ah Chu, he is the prince first, and then you Brother, can you understand? What you value is blood relationship, but what he values ​​is power and status."

Xie Heng rubbed her head, and leaned her head on his shoulder, "Ah Chu, if the second brother can come back, he will help the prince stabilize the country, and the emperor will do it for him in the future. If you don't come back, the crown prince will be the happiest...do you understand?"

Some things are too cruel, but Liu Chupei has to face them.

Liu Chupei lowered her head and remained silent. How could she not understand that if the second brother died, then no one would really be able to compete with him for the throne.

But they grew up together and have a deep relationship. Are they really going to be so ruthless?
"Ah Chu, the prince is actually completely different from what you think and what you see. When you should stay away from him, you should avoid him, understand?"

Liu Chupei now has mixed feelings in her heart. Three people have already told her to keep her away from the prince. Is there really something she hasn't discovered?She felt that when she went back this time, she had to find out.

The two of them were talking along the way, and Liu Chupei almost forgot for a moment that there might be someone from Tuobalue following along the way.

What reminded her was the sudden shaking of the carriage.

"What's wrong?" Liu Chupei was unsteady and rushed forward.

Xie Heng quickly grabbed her, he opened the car curtain, and suddenly an arrow shot from nowhere, he turned sideways, retracted his legs, and the arrow shot right where he was standing .

Liu Chupei was startled, and hurriedly got up to come out.

"Go in and sit in the corner." Xie Heng pushed her to the corner, "Don't come out, I'll go out and have a look." He specially hired someone to make this carriage, the material is so strong that arrows can't get in, she It's safest to stay inside.

"Xie Heng!" Liu Chupei was going to pull him, but he jumped off the carriage immediately, she didn't dare to move, for fear of dragging him down. …Liu Chupei Liu Chupei Wang Yanzhi

The sound of arrows piercing the carriage could be heard all the time, Liu Chupei was in a panic, and Xie Heng didn't know what was going on outside now.

"Xie Heng! Xie Heng!" Liu Chupei leaned against the front of the carriage and shouted to the outside.

But no one responded to her.

Wait a little longer, if Xie Heng doesn't answer her anymore, she will go out.

After sitting for a while, Liu Chupei couldn't wait any longer. She opened the car curtain and rushed out, bumping into the people outside. She raised her head and looked at the people who came, "Xie Heng? Are you okay!"

"It's okay..." Xie Heng pulled Liu Chupei into the carriage.

"Who is it?" When she opened the curtain just now, she saw that the coachman was dead.

Xie Heng looked sad, and he shook his head, "I don't know, it's very strange, I saw people when I went out, and when I chased them, I found that they were all gone." He frowned, this thing was a bit weird.

"Disappeared?" Liu Chupei was also very surprised.

"It doesn't matter, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave now." Xie Heng stepped out of the carriage, glanced at the coachman who fell to the side, pushed his body out of the carriage, raised his whip, and drove the carriage away .

But at this moment, at a place less than half a mile away from the carriage, the two stood facing each other.

"Oh, you're still here."

"If you don't come, your painstaking efforts will be wasted."

They were Tuobalue and Wang Yanzhi.

"It's clear that you never forgot, so you found an excuse to come to see her again." Tuoba slightly glanced at the direction where the carriage disappeared, "I just wanted to try it, how could I know that you would really come."

As soon as Tuobalue finished speaking, he drew out a sword and stabbed at him.

Wang Yanzhi stood there without moving, and when the sword was in front of his eyes, he took the soft sword between two fingers and picked it out without haste.

"What you want is always with me."

Tuobalue wanted to stab him again, but he stopped his hands when he heard these words, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "What did you say?"

"I can give it to you, but there is one condition."

"Why should I trust you?" Tuoba slightly doubted, put away his sword.

"I'll only give it one chance. If I want it later, it won't be so simple." Wang Yanzhi glanced at him, waiting for his answer.

"I want to hear what your conditions are?" If the things are really in his possession, then he may not be at a loss.

"Let Liu Chupei return to Jiankang safely—"
