"How does the prince know by himself, then there is no need for the prince to worry about it, the prince still has to take care of his own affairs, and the prince's affairs are handled by the prince himself, so he won't bother the prince to worry about it." Mu Zirong now has nothing good to say about Chu Hongchen at all, and expressed his meaning straightforwardly.

"Mu Huangzi, this palace doesn't mean that, this ......" Seeing that Mu Zirong seemed to be really angry, Chu Hongchen couldn't help but be a little anxious, he said that those words didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to get an answer, but he didn't expect Mu Zirong to be so angry, and he became a little speechless for a while.

"Okay, there's no need to say anything, the prince knows how to deal with the prince's affairs, thank you for your concern, if it's late today, the prince is also a little tired today, and if you want to rest, you won't send the prince, the prince will please!" Mu Zirong's eviction order had already been said so obviously, it would be a little embarrassing for him to continue to stay.

Although he was extremely annoyed in his heart, Chu Hongchen also knew that what he said so much today had no effect, and it was obvious that he had not achieved his goal.

Although Chu Hongchen's purpose was to let Mu Zirong help him deal with Chu Hongze, he was also very dissatisfied with Mu Zirong's attitude towards him, even when he was in the enemy country, but now this Mu Zirong is in Longteng Country, and his attitude towards the prince of a country is too much.

The more Chu Hongchen thought about it, the more angry he became, his face became more and more ugly, and some words blurted out directly, "Mu Zirong, what kind of attitude do you have, this palace is kind enough to take care of you, what do you mean?" ”

Mu Zirong also complained about the prince in his heart because the prince had interrupted his conversation with Qi Lao before, causing him to not know Wen Ruyi's whereabouts, and he also had a very big opinion on the prince, and his tone was also full of impatience, and replied: "Prince, may I ask what you are looking for me?" If you don't have anything to do, go back as soon as possible, but you're busy, don't waste time with me. ”

Hearing this, Chu Hongchen became more and more angry, feeling that he was simply kind and treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, "What tone are you using to treat this palace?" Of course, Hongu came to you to discuss important matters. ”

Mu Zirong was very irritable in his heart, originally he came to find Wen Ruyi, but after waiting for several days without any news, it made him irritable enough, and now Chu Hongchen mentioned it on the iron plate, "Prince, how dare I make you angry, you are the famous prince of Longteng Kingdom, so, do you have anything else, prince?"

"You ......" Hearing Mu Zirong's tone, Chu Hongchen felt that he was about to be blown up, and what he wanted to say was blocked in his mouth and couldn't be said, if it was someone else, or if it was of no use to him, he would have beaten someone by this time.

"Crown prince, what's wrong with this prince?" Mu Zirong looked at Chu Hongchen with an innocent face, and he was also trying to suppress the anger in his heart, if it wasn't for the Longteng Kingdom, he would have let Chu Hongchen be blasted out.

"Mu Zirong, do you remember why you came to Longteng Country?" For the sake of the overall situation, Chu Hongchen could only suppress the anger in his heart and remain calm on his face.

"I don't know!" Mu Zirong sat at the table boredly and answered patiently.

"Then do you know why my father wants to hold a banquet in the palace and why he invites you?" Seeing Mu Zirong's expression of not caring at all, Chu Hongchen still patiently continued to ask.

"I don't know!" Mu Zirong still answered concisely, and seemed to have no other words except these two words.

"Do you want to know? I think we can both work together. Chu Hongchen was irritable, but he could only endure it silently, and still patiently wanted to cooperate with Mu Zirong.

"Oh? What cooperation? Isn't our cooperation over a long time ago, so what else is there to cooperate with? Hearing this question, Mu Zirong seemed to be a little interested, picked up the tea next to the table, took a sip, and asked slowly.

"It's very simple, you help me ascend to the throne of Longteng Kingdom, and after I become the king of a country, I will help you ascend to the throne of your country, and the two of us will cooperate with each other, and it will definitely be good for each other when the time comes." Chu Hongchen naturally heard the change in Mu Zirong's tone, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, sat down, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip gently, he expected that it was impossible for Mu Zirong not to agree to such a good deal, this was the temptation of the throne.

As for...... After he succeeds, he will have no worries about winning over Mu Zirong, and when he ascends to the throne, whether he will help Mu Zirong ascend to the throne is another matter.

"Oh? The crown prince is the crown prince of Longteng Kingdom, and the quasi-emperor of Longteng Kingdom wants to collude with the princes of neighboring countries just to get the throne as soon as possible? With the help of the power of the prince of the enemy country, he can get the throne, is the crown prince only capable of this? Mu Zirong just smiled, looking at Chu Hongze with a kind face, but his words were extremely sarcastic.

"This ...... We need to be prepared, and the cooperation between the two of us is a win-win situation, as long as we can achieve each other's goals. Chu Hongchen was choked for a long time before he said this, and his tone was a little suffocated.

"Oh? That...... What if the prince doesn't agree? Mu Zirong played with the teacup in his hand, with an expression of indifference.

"You...... Mu Zirong, don't be ignorant, sometimes the opportunity is missed and it is gone, you should know the means of this palace. Chu Hongchen pointed at Mu Zirong, obviously he was angry, he had already compromised to this point, but he didn't expect Mu Zirong to know what to do, he was really angry with him.

"Oh? That's it, prince, you go slowly, this prince is indeed a little tired today, so I won't send it. Mu Zirong didn't care if Chu Hongchen was really angry, he had already seen that this prince was useless at all, and it didn't have any effect on him whether he had it or not.

When Chu Hongchen heard Mu Zirong say this, he threw up his sleeves and left, and when he walked to the door, he said to Mu Zirong in a tone without any ups and downs: "Mu Zirong, I hope you will not regret your attitude towards the palace today in the future." ”

After going out, Chu Hongchen couldn't get out of the fire in his heart, and he firmly remembered Mu Zirong's attitude towards him today, he thought that sooner or later Mu Zirong would pay the price for what he did today, and he must make Mu Zirong regret his choice today.

Just as he was thinking about it, a little palace maid who was hurrying away with her head down bumped into him.

Chu Hongchen saw that it was a little palace maid, and the fire in his heart suddenly came out, and he slapped her in the face without saying anything, and yelled: "Dog, don't you have long eyes when you walk?" The little palace maid knelt down with a frightened face, and kept saying: "The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life, the prince spares his life, the cheap maid will not dare to ...... next time."

"Hmph, since you don't have eyes when you walk, then ............" the prince said and paused, stretched out his hands to pinch the jaw of the little palace maid, and said gloomily: "Since the eyes are useless, then ...... Don't. ”

When the little palace maid heard this, her face turned pale all of a sudden, and her thin figure knelt on the ground trembling, and she couldn't speak anymore.

Seeing the little palace maid so frightened, Chu Hongchen suddenly laughed, his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and Gao immediately shouted: "Come on, gouge out her eyes and feed the dogs." Dog things, dare to be the road to the palace, it's simply looking for death. ”

When the little palace maid heard that the prince was going to gouge out her eyes, she was so frightened that she fainted directly.

Soon two guards came, and they dragged the little palace maid who had fainted out without saying anything, and Chu Hongchen was also in a better mood because of the little palace maid's affairs, so he walked out of the post station and walked towards the prince's mansion, thinking about continuing to plan the throne.

On the other hand, Mu Zirong didn't think much of what Chu Hongchen said, but was very dissatisfied with Chu Hongchen's warning when he just left, and felt that Chu Hongchen was not worthy of cooperation at all.

However, at the same time, he was still very anxious about Wen Ruyi's whereabouts, missed Wen Ruyi very much, couldn't wait to see her, and wanted to find an opportunity to ask Qi Lao about Wen Ruyi's whereabouts again, or to go to Rui Wangfu to explore the truth, but this risk was too great.

Chu Hongze came to the master's yard, the decoration of the yard has not changed since Chu Hongze worshiped Qi Lao, this is still where Qi Lao has been living before going up the mountain, surrounded by bamboo, there is a large open space in the middle of the bamboo, there is a hut, Chu Hongze entered the house, shouted a few masters, but no one responded.

Chu Hongze thought about it, walked to Qi Lao's study, picked up a vase placed next to the bookshelf, and picked up the lamp in the study by the way.

"Boom, boom......" The bookshelf suddenly moved slowly to the side, and behind the bookshelf was pitch black, and a secret passage suddenly appeared.

Chu Hongze was not surprised, took the lamp and walked along the secret passage, and after a while, he saw a glimmer of light.

Out of the secret road, here and the bamboo forest outside is a little incompatible, surrounded by high mountains, there is a waterfall, Chu Hongze walked to the waterfall, saw the master who was closing his eyes to recuperate, so he quietly knelt opposite the master, silently waiting.

After a long time, Qi Lao opened his eyes and said, "Ze'er, you're here." ”

Chu Hongze also calmly said "um" and responded.

Qi Lao still closed his eyes and continued: "What are you looking for me? ”

Chu Hongze couldn't help frowning, and then replied respectfully: "Master, I came to you today to ask you about the things in the palace. ”

"What are you going to ask about the palace?" Qi Lao couldn't help frowning, opened his eyes and looked at him.

"I want to know the purpose of Mu Zirong's visit to Longteng Country this time." Now the only person who can make Chu Hongze so anxious is Mu Zirong, after all, this is the person who almost took away his princess, and he must be especially vigilant.
