Chapter 156: A Sudden Letter
When the two of them followed Xiao Er upstairs, they didn't know that the two people who were already drunk kept looking at their backs, and then looked at each other after seeing them leave, but there was no drunkenness in their eyes, they were all clear.
They searched all the way to no avail, but they did not expect to find the two of them in this small inn in the wilderness.
The secret guards sent by Chu Hongchen couldn't wait, thinking that they would quickly complete the things that the prince had explained, and they would definitely be rewarded at that time, and in the silent night, a big drama was about to play.
I heard that for this assassination, Chu Hongchen deliberately found a woman, but I don't know what kind of woman it is, I heard that the six princes are suave and have countless women, so I don't know if this beauty trick is good or not?
But as the saying goes, this hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, and I am afraid that this wise king will also stay for the beauty.
The two of them continued to pretend for a while, then took advantage of the night to escape and went to deliver a letter to the killer sent by Chu Hongchen, they were only responsible for tracking, and the murder was handed over to the person who came to do it.
At night, Chu Hongze asked the master to sleep first and keep vigil by himself, even in such a wilderness, they could not take it lightly, and their vigilance over the years had become a habit.
And Chu Hongchen is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, if he knew that he was gone, he would definitely send someone to chase and kill, plus Mu Zirong, I don't know what he was thinking in his heart, if he wanted to set any traps on the way back to China, it was not necessarily, so it was better to take more precautions.
In the middle of the moon, a dark guard with excellent light skills came to this small inn, the lights of the inn were extinguished, only a small lantern like a bean still flashed in the lobby, it was really not easy to find Chu Hongze.
Chu Hongchen's secret guard found the shopkeeper who was napping, put the knife on his neck, and asked him where Chu Hongze lived.
The shopkeeper woke up in a daze, and was so frightened by the bright knife on his neck that he almost peed his pants, and subconsciously said the room, and was knocked out directly by the secret guard.
Chu Hongze was meditating in the house with his eyes closed, heard a noise outside, hurriedly opened the window to check, at this time, a feather arrow with a letter shot into the house from the window, when he went out, there was no one outside, then remembered that the master was still sleeping in the house, hurriedly returned to the house, and when he came back, he found that an arrow fell to the ground in the house, and a letter was tied to the arrow.
Chu Hongze felt that he was still careless, not only let the assassin run away under his nose, but even left a letter, fortunately the master was fine, otherwise he would have regretted his death.
The sky is sun, moon and stars, hanging a bright moon, and the state city looks hazy and quiet in the moonlight.
Chu Hongze hurriedly came over and picked up the letter, hesitating to open the envelope.
There was only a thin sheet of paper inside.
In any case, since someone wanted to deliver this letter to him, he had to read it carefully.
Thinking of this, he carefully read the contents of the envelope, and was shocked after reading it.
This letter actually said that Wen Ruyi was killed and wanted to ask him for help, but I don't know what's going on, he still doesn't believe that this letter is from Wen Ruyi's hand, because there are too many doubts in writing a letter, not to mention what danger Wen Ruyi has encountered, even if she really encounters danger, how did she know this person who can report the news in time?
Moreover, this person's own martial arts are very high, so high that it is difficult for him to detect and contend with, but in his memory, Wen Ruyi doesn't seem to know such a powerful person.
However, if Wen Ruyi really encountered any danger, and a noble person secretly helped him and sent him this letter of help all the way to him, but he didn't help because he was suspicious, wouldn't it be in vain that Wen Ruyi was afraid now?
He couldn't make up his mind for a while, and decided to go to the master tomorrow morning to discuss the contents of the letter.
On the second day, Qi Lao was practicing with a clear heart and few desires, and when he saw Chu Hongze hurrying over with a anxious look, he knew that he must have encountered some big things that could not be solved.
Chu Hongze stepped forward and saluted, and hurriedly handed the letter in his hand to Qi Lao, "Master, look at the content of this letter." ”
Seeing that his face was not good, Qi Lao took the letter with a frown, read it carefully, and found that the content of the letter was really quite strange.
He frowned and asked Chu Hongze, "Ze'er, where did you get this letter?" ”
"This is last night when someone sneaked into my room and stayed, but I didn't chase him at the time, only a shadow."
Qi Lao listened to his words, and then thought about it seriously, Chu Hongze's martial arts have always been very talented since he was a child, although he is not as powerful as some of the people in the rivers and lakes, but he can definitely be called a leader, he can sneak into his room and leave this letter without letting him see it, so it can be seen that the origin is not small.
After thinking about it, he still turned around and persuaded him, "Ze'er, it's not that the teacher won't let you go, it's just that this letter came from strangely, I'm afraid that the other party has set a trap for you, and now this time is really not right, if we act rashly, I'm afraid that we will fall into other people's schemes, and it will not be easy to do it then." ”
Afraid that Chu Hongze wouldn't believe it, he spoke again to persuade him, "Moreover, I'm afraid that this is the prince's conspiracy, think about it, that person sneaking into your room at will is by no means an ordinary person, according to what the letter said, if Wen Ruyi really has any difficulties, how can he meet such a noble person to help?" With the help of such nobles, how could they not cope with those scenes? ”
Every word that Qi Lao said was exactly what Chu Hongze was thinking, indeed, if Wen Ruyi really encountered any danger, he would have no chance to ask for help from the outside world at all.
Even if he really met a noble person with such a high martial arts skill who came to help, then this noble person could directly rescue Wen Ruyi, why did he send him a letter to help him alone?
But he definitely can't do it, let Wen Ruyi fall into danger alone and not save her, in case this noble person who helped Wen Ruyi has no way to save him directly, and can only use such a tortuous way to ventilate the news, then it proves that she is really in an extremely difficult situation, and it is impossible for him to watch her fall into danger without saving her.
After all, Qi Lao also grew up watching Chu Hongze since he was a child, so he naturally understood Chu Hongze's thoughts better, and also knew that he was a person who valued love and righteousness, not to mention his love and righteousness......
However, after all, Chu Hongze's identity is very special, before this matter is understood, no one can take the initiative to rescue him, in case it is the prince's trap, it will be even worse, this is Wen Ruyi who saved him by compensating himself, otherwise everything will fall short?
After thinking about it again, Qi Lao still felt that he couldn't act rashly now, so he opened his mouth to persuade, "The teacher knows that you want to rescue her more urgently than anyone else, but we haven't found out the source of this letter yet, besides, the prince's side has always been eyeing it, I advise you to return to China first, and wait until this matter is investigated clearly. ”
"Yes...... But if everything said in this letter is true, then Ruyi's situation is already very, very dangerous, if I go back to China now and wait to find out, it is estimated that her life is gone, and she is in danger to save me, master, how can I just look at it and ignore it? Chu Hongze was anxious, but what Qi Lao said was very reasonable, and he couldn't choose.
Qi Lao didn't know that what Chu Hongze said was true, if this letter was true, then Wen Ruyi couldn't withstand such a toss at all, but compared with Wen Ruyi, Chu Hongze's safety was more important, after all, there were still many things waiting for Chu Hongze to complete.
The meaning of the person who sent the letter was obvious, he knew Chu Hongze very well, and knew that Wen Ruyi was the only Achilles heel in Chu Hongze's heart that he couldn't let go, so he deliberately used Wen Ruyi's life to blackmail Chu Hongze.
knows Chu Hongze so well, and he is very vicious, and with this strength, I am afraid that only the prince's gang is the only one, but even if it is such an obvious trap, because Chu Hongze is very excited now, there is no way to see through it, and he only has Wen Ruyi's safety in his heart.
Chu Hongze thought about it again and again, but still felt that he couldn't delay any longer, "Master, no matter what, I can't watch Ruyi fall into danger, but don't worry, my martial arts are not too bad, there shouldn't be any problems, I'll go and rescue her and take her back to China with me." ”
Hearing Chu Hongze being so stubborn, Qi Lao's fire also came up in an instant, he never minded that Chu Hongze liked Wen Ruyi, nor did he mind that he put Wen Ruyi in a very important position in his heart, last time he had already understood Chu Hongze's feelings for Wen Ruyi, but Chu Hongze now seems to have forgotten his identity as a prince, and the royal family was originally an indifferent and ruthless struggle.
Now, if Chu Hongze riskes his life to save Wen Ruyi, then it is relative to telling the world that announcing Wen Ruyi is his Achilles' heel, and everyone else will be counted, in case this shortcoming has been intentionally used by the prince's group, then Chu Hongze will be defeated by the prince one day sooner or later.
This is something he must not see such an ending, Qi Lao didn't want Chu Hongze to be so childlike at this time, so he reprimanded loudly, "Ze'er, the master has never scolded you, but this time you must listen to the master, hurry back to China, this matter, the master will help you, you don't need to come forward directly, the master will solve it for you." ”
Chu Hongze didn't listen to Qi Lao's words, he was now full of eyes only Wen Ruyi's safety, he couldn't convince himself to ignore Wen Ruyi's life or death, so he directly picked up the sword he had been wearing on the table, and left without looking back.
