"Hehe, everyone, rest here in peace!" Throwing down such a sentence, Qi Lao calmly put his hands behind him, stepped on the injured or dead guards, and moved out of the study step by step.

Qi Lao thought that this time he could finally get out of the way, but it turned out that this time's carelessness made him injured.

"Ahh

Seeing that the exit was in front of him, Qi Lao stepped on the body of a guard and rushed forward, and at this moment, a guard who fell suddenly stood up for some reason, and directly waved the sword in his hand and slashed at Qi Lao's arm.

Qi Lao's eyes were stunned, and he wanted to dodge, but the other party's speed was too fast, and he was careless just now, so he couldn't dodge at all.

"Pss

"Damn!" Qi Lao raised his hand to cover his wounds, glared at the group of scattered guards hatefully, did not fight, but walked out of the study without hesitation, he was ready to flee with injuries.

Qi Lao tried his best, and finally escaped from the pursuit of the patrol guards, seeing that his figure was about to disappear into the distance, the leader of the patrol guards made a stop gesture to the brothers behind him, and his tone was solemn and firm, "Okay, don't chase after everyone!" ”

There is no point in catching up with it.

"Could it be...... Did you just let him run away? Some guards watched Qi Lao's back disappear because of their pause, and suddenly said unwillingly.

The leader sneered and grinned at the corners of his mouth, staring at the direction where Qi Lao had disappeared, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Wait until you go back with me and report this matter to the master, as for how the master will deal with it, he has his own judgment, go!" ”

"Yes!" Qi Shushu's answer sounded at the same time, even if they were still unwilling, but they couldn't help it, since the leaders had already spoken, they had to do it.

The leader of the patrol guard team took the lead in turning around, looked at the group of brothers behind him and ordered, "Please return to your posts, I will go and report to the master that someone has broken into the master's study, and I will come back in a while, everyone should be vigilant, don't be negligent." ”

The other guards nodded their heads and quickly divided into their own squads, scattered to every corner of the Prince's Mansion, holding their positions.

After all the brothers had left, the leader of the patrol guard team also turned around and walked towards the main hall, ready to report the matter to Mu Zirong.

At that time, Mu Zirong was still taking care of the guests in the hall, and between the staggering, everyone drank drunk, Mu Zirong, as the protagonist of today, was inevitably drunk, and today he was happy in his heart, naturally he did not refuse to come, and it can be said that he drank the most.

When the leader came, what he saw was Mu Zirong's drunken face, he was holding a glass wine glass, staggering among the guests, and his face was always red with a light smile.

The hall was full of noise, and with a band playing and singing, it sounded even more chaotic.

The leader bypassed the room full of guests and came to Mu Zirong's side, out of fear that he was already drunk and unconscious, he gently pushed him with his hand, and then lowered his head and said respectfully, "Your Highness, my subordinates have something important to report!" ”

"Huh? What did you say? Mu Zirong, who was holding the wine glass, tilted his body and almost fell to the ground, but the leader of the patrol guard hurriedly helped him, so that Mu Zirong would not really fall to the ground.

His reaction disappointed the leader of the guards, but after all, he was his master, and he couldn't say anything to a subordinate, so he could only sigh and prepare to leave, "Forget it, it's better to wait for Your Highness to wake up, and then your subordinates will come to tell you." ”

Before he could take a step, Mu Zirong suddenly reached out and grabbed him, "Wait a minute, this prince will go out with you." ”

Mu Zirong's words made the leader of the guard team stop his movements, and looked back at him in surprise, but saw that Mu Zirong was still drunk, although he was helpless, he still chose to carefully support him and walked out.

"Your Highness, please be careful, cross the threshold."

The two of them left the hall and came to the courtyard, and after leaving the lively and chaotic hall, everything seemed to be quiet.

Helping Mu Zirong to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard, the leader of the guard took the initiative to retire, "Your Highness, if it's okay, then the subordinates will retire first?" ”

"Didn't this prince say it, wait a minute." Mu Zirong, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, and looked into the eyes of the leader of the patrol guard, and there was no trace of chaos in his eyes. At this moment, Mu Zirong, where does he still look like a drunk person? It was a world of difference from the drunk and almost unconscious Mu Zirong just now.

His transformation surprised the leader, "Temple...... Your Highness? ”

"Tell me, you have something to tell you." Mu Zirong, who didn't pay attention to the surprised expression of the team leader, asked indifferently, he knew that something urgent must have happened.

The leader of the guard was not surprised for long, and after a moment returned to normal, his expression respectful, "Your Highness, just now while you were drinking with your guests, an assassin broke into your study. ”

"Oh?" Mu Zirong glanced at the leader of the guards, and his tone rose slightly, as if asking, "What about that assassin?" ”

Such a look made the guard leader bow his head in shame, and immediately knelt on the ground, "I'm sorry, my subordinates are incompetent, let that assassin ...... I ran away, and I hope that the palace will be punished! ”

The leader silently waited for Mu Zirong to be angry, but unexpectedly, instead of being angry, Mu Zirong laughed a few times meaninglessly, "Hehe, what are you doing here?" When did this prince say that he was going to be punished? ”

"Well, this ...... Your Highness, your subordinates are ineffective, and they should be punished, please punish Your Highness! Without waiting for the expected punishment, the leader of the guard couldn't help but look up, and in his eyes, Mu Zirong, who was smiling like a spring breeze, shook his head slightly, "Naturally not." ”

The leader was relieved, he originally planned to be punished, but the master did not lower the punishment, and it seemed that he was still in a good mood?

This realization made the leader think of something, and he asked tentatively, "Your Highness, did you expect that someone would break into your study?" So ......"

"Yes, yes."

Indeed, Mu Zirong had long expected that someone would take advantage of the chaos to break into the prince's mansion on his big day to create chaos, he made many enemies, and he had long expected this kind of thing to happen, and the reason why he would lay a mechanism in the study was to prevent assassins from coming in!

"How? Is there something missing in the study? Mu Zirong didn't seem to be in a hurry, just squinted his eyes and asked.

The leader shook his head, "Back to Your Highness, there is nothing missing, Your Highness is really a clever plan!" ”

A brother came to report to him before, saying that he had inspected the study and found no missing items, which shows that His Royal Highness the prince is indeed very shrewd, and the assassin can be regarded as a vain.

"Actually, I didn't lose anything, but it also shows one thing." When the leader of the guards secretly admired, Mu Zirong spoke again.

The leader of the patrolling guard asked suspiciously, "Is this ...... What does that mean? ”

"It's simple, it's ...... The assassin who broke in didn't find what he was looking for! Mu Zirong's eyes were deep, staring into the distance, not knowing what he was looking at.

As soon as these words came out, the leader already understood, "What does Your Highness mean...... Could it be that the Assassins will return? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he began to think about it, and for a moment, countless possibilities flooded into his mind.

Mu Zirong smiled again when he saw his appearance, "Okay, whether he comes or not, we should be completely prepared." Since the assassin was able to escape from the various mechanisms arranged by His Royal Highness, it means that he should be good, and it seems that he also has a certain understanding of the Prince's Mansion, and this person must also be familiar to the Prince......"

"This ...... ......Hearing this, the leader's eyes were completely shocked, and he tried to search in his mind to see if this person's characteristics were the ones he had seen before, but he didn't get the slightest, so he could only frown and say, "Your Highness, your subordinates have fought with that assassin, and that person is not only extraordinary, but also ...... It's cunning! ”

It turned out that the leader remembered the brothers who died tragically under the trap, and his face was stained with grief for a while.

Capturing his abnormality, Mu Zirong casually asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Highness, when we were fighting, many brothers fell for his tricks and broke into the study to arrest him, but instead, they ...... Instead, he lost his life in vain...... "The more the patrol leader thought about it, the more sad he became, and he felt that the assassin was really hateful, and everyone who died was a brother who had died with him, and he felt the same way as if he had seen his siblings die.

Mu Zirong didn't expect that there was such a layer inside, no matter how ruthless he was, he couldn't help but be moved, and he couldn't help frowning, a thought in his heart became more and more intense, but in the end, he just moved his eyes and returned to normal.

Sighing lightly, Mu Zirong raised his hand and patted the leader's shoulder, "Okay, let's mourn, the deceased is gone, what we can still do for them is left to let them rest in peace." ”

"No!" I don't know where Mu Zirong's words touched the leader, which made him emotional, "Your Highness, your subordinates swear here that they must catch that assassin with their own hands and make amends for their dead brothers!" ”

After hearing this, when no one noticed, Mu Zirong laughed again.

Lo and behold, everything came according to his plan.

Whether it was setting up a mechanism in the study, letting the assassin leave, or even the mood swings of this patrol leader, he also provoked it, everything was in his Mu Zirong's plan, and he calculated all the people's hearts.
