Chapter 113 Narrow Alley



The alley gets narrower and narrower as you walk further in.

Zhou Zhizhi's heart was in her throat.

I never imagined that one day I would be able to do such a sneaky thing.

But the damn system is unreachable now.

Otherwise, why would he personally do such a thing?

"Boss, we've reached the end."

Wu Da's voice was very low, and it sounded particularly whispered.

Zhou Zhizhi nodded and turned her body slightly forward.

"You all stay here and guard this place, and whatever you do, don't send it over."

Zhou Zhizhi knew that if these two people followed her, it would actually cause quite a stir.

She slowly walked over and squatted down until she reached the doorway and window.

Only then could I clearly hear the voices of the people inside the room.

"Now that Zhang De is gone, we don't know when those people in the imperial court will be able to leave."

"It's best if you don't go out right now."

The old woman had lost her previous timidity and cowardice, and her voice was very indifferent.

Zhou Zhizhi slowly raised her head slightly and saw a man dressed in a mysterious outfit sitting in the room.

They were around middle age, and the dark colors were rather gloomy.

"They really didn't say when they were leaving?"

Li Zhou does look older than them.

He exuded a sinister aura.

"Go check again. If they don't leave, how can we quickly get back into the city?"

"I sent those idiots to lead the charge, but I never expected they would attract people from the palace in such a blatant manner."

Li Zhou was furious when he thought about this.

They spoke with even more gritted teeth, clearly unable to swallow their anger.

"Your Majesty, we really don't know when those court officials outside will leave."

"I have no way to go in either. After all, if I went in, I would be too obvious a target and would inevitably be discovered."

After the woman finished speaking, she sighed helplessly.

"It's probably the game where they dared to run away before. They're calculating the time now and it should be time for them to reach Jincheng."

"Your Majesty should still be cautious."

When Zhou Zhizhi heard these words, her face scrunched up in embarrassment on their behalf.

It's really embarrassing for someone to call themselves a king here.

"We'll act tonight. I'll lead my men in and infiltrate, while you lead the rest of the men outside."

"If there's any movement, notify us immediately, understand?"

As Li Zhou spoke, he kept tapping his hand on the table.

It seems like he's really quite anxious about this.

"knew."

Zhou Zhizhi was slightly surprised, but when she saw that the aunt was about to come out, she quickly took a few steps back and left.

When they reached the alley entrance, they turned to the other side, pulling the two people they had brought with them to the other side as well.

As soon as I got to the side, I heard the sound of a door opening inside. There aren't many people living in this alley, so the sound of the door opening was quite loud.

"What's wrong, boss?"

"What happened?"

Wuhan University students are really curious about these things.

They definitely need to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when can we go back?

Zhou Zhizhi hesitated slightly after looking at the two of them.

"Soon."

Zhou Zhizhi's feelings were indeed a little complicated.

"You should go back now, before anyone finds out."

Zhou Zhizhi seemed to suddenly remember something. If that aunt knew they were gone, she would definitely look around for them.

But if they don't find anything, they will still have doubts, and then things will become difficult to handle.

Although Wu Da and Wu Er didn't quite understand, they obediently listened and left.

They were well aware that their leader, although occasionally a little unreliable, was still a leader.

However, more often than not, they are provided with many helpful clues.

Wu Er glanced back warily.

He was really worried about their boss being alone over there.

By the time the old woman came out, the two of them had already hidden behind another tree.

This number is relatively large.

The old woman looked around, then, still carrying the man in her hand, pretended nothing had happened and continued walking forward.

"Where is that old lady going?"

Wu Er peeked out, but found that many other eyes were watching them.

Perhaps these people were also that man's informants; who knows?

Wu Da turned his head and glanced at Zhou Zhizhi, who was standing not far away, pretending that nothing had happened.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately understood what the other wanted to say.

Wu Da turned to leave, but Wu Er immediately followed.

He placed one hand directly on Wu Er's shoulder.

They are brothers, and both of them understand each other very well.

Sometimes, you don't even need to say anything; a single glance is enough for the other person to understand.

Wu Er didn't say anything, and just leaned lazily against that tree.

Looking at the child next to him, he seemed quite interested and squatted down to tease him.

"Kid, what are you doing here?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a woman walked over warily and pulled the child away.

Zhou Zhizhi sat at the tea stall next to her, observing everything without making a sound.

Although everyone outside is poor, there are still some people doing business.

He set up a small stall with a broken table and a few broken stools.

"What's wrong?"

"Something seems off today, boss?"

Zhou Zhizhi pretended that nothing had happened.

It's like a passerby having a cup of tea here.

The boss's business isn't very busy right now.

He brought over a pot of hot water and placed it on the table.

"Sir, you may not know this, but our city is incredibly lively."

"In just these few days, I don't know how many people have died. If you have nothing else to do, I suggest that you, a young lady, should definitely not go in."

"To avoid getting into trouble and bad luck."

Zhou Zhizhi pretended to be slightly curious, turned to the side, opened her money bag, took out a silver ingot, and stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand.

The shop owner is actually a sensible person.

He put the silver away very quickly.

The shopkeeper's smile had taken on a hint of obsequiousness.

"Little girl, where do you come from?"

Zhou Zhizhi smiled faintly: "I just came from a village nearby to buy some things today, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
