The sudden words made Chu Hongze, who was originally leaning on the carriage and closing his eyes to recuperate, open his eyes, and also made the smile on Wen Ruyi's lips decrease a little.

"Really? What's going on? Wen Ruyi asked out loud with a curious look, and there was a surprised expression on her face.

The driver who was driving the car looked to both sides, and then carefully lowered his voice, and then leaned closer before saying, "I heard that it was the Jiangyang thief who entered the palace of His Royal Highness the prince and lost an important thing, and now he is looking for it under martial law in the whole city!" ”

Jiangyang thief?

Hearing this word, Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the difference in each other's eyes, but no one continued to speak, Chu Hongze remembered the man in black who fought with him in Mu Zirong's mansion last time, and it must be the Jiangyang thief that Mu Zirong said!

At this moment, they are all waiting anxiously, waiting to enter the city as soon as possible to find out what is going on in Mu Zirong's mansion, and more importantly, to find out the traces of Qi Lao.

Finally, about an hour later, the carriage carried them into the city, and they also successfully passed the investigation of the guards at the city gate, the strange thing is that the guards and checks here are much easier than those at the pass, presumably Mu Zirong thinks that they will go out of the city, instead of going back to the net, so the guards here are naturally a lot lax.

The carriage station also has a station in the capital, and the coachman pulled them to the station here, Wen Ruyi not only paid him the fare, but also gave him an extra tip, "This master, thank you on the way!" ”

Receiving the silver as a tip, the coachman thanked them cheerfully before saying goodbye.

Leaving the station, Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze rushed to Mu Zirong's palace non-stop.

Although they are in a city in another country, they have been staying for a long time anyway, and the two of them know the terrain here very well.

In the blink of an eye, the two came hand in hand to the outside of Mu Zirong's Prince's Mansion, which was located in the inner city, and it looked like a small palace from a distance, majestic and solemn.

The crimson brick wall is difficult to see as far as the eye can see, there are many patrolling guards and guards outside the prince's mansion, Chu Hongze asked Wen Ruyi to wait at a tea stall not far from the mansion, and he wanted to go to the mansion to inquire about the news.

As soon as the division of labor came out, Wen Ruyi first resisted this assignment, "No, now the prince's mansion must be heavily guarded, you go alone...... What if Mu Zirong finds out? Or I'll go with you, the two of you are more or less a care. ”

"No, Ruyi, it's more convenient for me to go alone." Chu Hongze shook his head and explained to her in the simplest way, "Ruyi, you don't know martial arts, it's actually more dangerous to take you there, and I have martial arts, and I am familiar with the terrain in the prince's mansion, so I won't alarm them when I act." ”

Although these words are ugly, they are not rough, Wen Ruyi knows that if she rashly follows up, she will indeed become a burden to Chu Hongze, and if she does not know martial arts, she will definitely be difficult to defeat them in the face of Mu Zirong's guards, and when Chu Hongze has to take care of her, it will definitely be a lot of trouble.

It's just that Chu Hongze is allowed to go alone, how can she rest assured?

Thinking like this, Wen Ruyi looked at Chu Hongze's gaze with a worry that was so strong that it couldn't melt, and she wanted to say something more, but Chu Hongze raised his right index finger and lightly tapped it on her lips: "Ruyi, now is not the time to be timid, I will definitely be more careful, don't worry, I just went to check the master's condition, if I see that the situation is not right, I will come out, and I will definitely not alarm them." ”

The words came to this, Wen Ruyi didn't want to say that she was going to follow, she grabbed Chu Hongze's hand, tightly, as if she wanted to give him her strength, looked at him worriedly, and said, "That...... Then you have to be careful, I ...... I'm here waiting for you to come back! ”

"Well, I will!" Nodding heavily, Chu Hongze kissed Wen Ruyi's cheek like a dragonfly, his figure flashed out of the tea stall and walked towards the back of the nearby house.

When he arrived at a place where there was no one around, he flew up to the roof with light skills, and his body ran quickly and directly towards the prince's mansion near the distance like an arrow from a string.

When he arrived, he didn't go in immediately, but waited for the sky to get dark before jumping up to the wall of the prince's mansion.

Entering the Prince's Mansion again, the environment here is completely different from before they left, and any festive arrangements have been removed, who can imagine, but a few days ago, a unique marriage was being held here, just ...... The bride was already lost on the wedding night, and it is estimated that Mu Zirong's psychology is also extremely uncomfortable.

"Tsk, it's better to withdraw!" Looking at the restored prince's mansion, Chu Hongze couldn't wait to see any red, the wedding scene at that time still comes to his mind from time to time, as long as he thinks of the scene at that time, he is holding back the fire in his stomach, and a wave of anger arises spontaneously.

After entering the Prince's Mansion, Chu Hongze was familiar with the patrol guards while listening to the news about Qi Lao, but the area of the Prince's Mansion was too large, and he didn't find any signs about Qi Lao after looking for a long time, nor did he hear any talk.

For a while, Chu Hongze became a little angry, "Hey, master, where have you been?" Was he caught by Mu Zirong? ”

His muttering eventually disappeared with the wind, disappearing into the night without anyone responding, and no one knew where Qi Lao had gone.

After nightfall, the huge prince's mansion was already lit, and many places were bright, and Chu Hongze was still looking for traces of Qi Lao in the mansion, but he didn't find anything, and there was no news at all.

But fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and just when Chu Hongze was about to give up and leave, the content of the chat between the maids of the prince's mansion in front of him suddenly attracted his attention.

"Hey, have you heard, Your Highness, and locked up the guests who came to the wedding!"

"Huh? Are you sure? This...... It's been more than ten days since this wedding, how can it ......?"

"Of course it's true! This is still false, but I listened to my cousin of the third aunt's family, he guarded the other garden for the master, and the other garden was locked up by the envoys from all over the world who came to attend the master's wedding, and I heard that they were noisy all day long, and they were all cursing the prince's voice. ”

The maidservants love to get together and chat when they have nothing to do, no, just when they talked about it, they were listened to by Chu Hongze, who was about to leave on the roof.

However, they were not finished speaking.

"Hey, I really don't know, what did Your Highness do when he grabbed the envoys of those countries, aren't you afraid of provoking ......a war?"

"Shhhh Let's just do our own work honestly, and we don't mix those things together......"

"Oh, yes, except for what we have at hand, nothing else has anything to do with us, let's go quickly!"

The conversation of the maids gradually faded away, and Chu Hongze, who was hiding on the roof, waited for them to go away, and then flew down from the roof, staring at their figures with deep eyes until they disappeared.

"Could it be that the master was also arrested by Mu Zirong?" Thinking back to the content of the handmaiden's casual conversation just now, Chu Hongze was slightly shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but wonder if Qi Lao might also be imprisoned in another courtyard by Mu Zirong.

But even if Qi Lao was captured and locked up by Mu Zirong, he couldn't rescue the master now, because he didn't know where the master was locked up by Mu Zirong......

"Damn." Cursing in a low voice, Chu Hongze continued to search in the prince's mansion without giving up to see if he could find any news about the palace.

However, he didn't find the news of the other garden, but he saw Mu Zirong who came back from outside.

Mu Zirong, who was dressed in a dark prince's suit, walked in front, and there were several guards behind him, and the housekeeper in the mansion also followed, but they all looked like they didn't dare to come out.

Although the sky was dark, with Chu Hongze's night vision, it was not difficult to see the clouds on Mu Zirong's face.

For so long, he didn't find Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze and the man in black who dared to steal in the prince's mansion, and the anger that accumulated in Mu Zirong's heart caused his mood to get worse and worse.

Basically, Mu Zirong had to go out every day to personally look for the traces of Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze, but the result was the same every time - they couldn't find any clues about Wen Ruyi and the two of them, as if they had evaporated from this world.

"Waste, garbage, it's all a bunch of garbage!" Before entering the hall of the mansion, Mu Zirong began to scold, and then slapped on the table, making a loud noise, and everyone shrank in fear, "What do you do to raise you for so many days, you can't even find two big living people for so many days, even the assassin who dared to break into the prince's mansion can't be found, you still have the face to come back and tell this prince that you haven't found anyone?" ”

With every curse, the heads of the group of people who followed him lowered their heads by one point, even the butler.

Everyone was silent, silently enduring the anger from Mu Zirong, basically not daring to come out, for fear that Mu Zirong's anger would fall on their heads.

With a cold snort, Mu Zirong directly shook off everyone, strode in front, and walked through the long corridor to the room.

Suddenly, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and a pair of eyes full of yin owls stared at the corner in front of him, and there, Chu Hongze also looked at him expressionlessly, and the two looked at each other abruptly, and no one spoke.
