"The only way for us now is to see what Mu Zirong is thinking, and understand what his strength is, so that we can have the next step of the arrangement!" Only by meeting can we know what the strength of this person is...... Is it really as cunning as Qi Lao said, and there are other thoughts......

"That's right! Yes, when the time comes, we will arrange to invite him to the banquet in the Dragon Teng Country...... When the time comes, let's test him and find out how this person is. This is indeed a good way, and it can also relieve him of suspicion in his heart!

If it was really like what Qi Lao said, it would not be a bad thing, after all, it was just to meet him, and it would not have much impact, the emperor nodded, feeling that this idea was indeed good.

When the time comes, in order to promote the development of neighboring countries, he will invite Mu Zirong as the prince of the enemy country to come over, and after having dinner with him, and then see how much talent this person has, he is very curious, what kind of person is this Mu Zirong, who can make Qi Lao so wary of him?

Could it be that the political talent is too good? will look at other countries, and he may know how ambitious this person is.

Since ancient times, it is impossible for an emperor to be without ambition, even he is ambitious, a person without ambition will not be able to go to a high position, and he will not be able to stand at all, this is certain, maybe it is with ambition that Mu Zirong will be so talented and ......

This is a young man, when he first ascended the throne, he was also ambitious, and he also wanted to invade other people's countries, but the longer he was emperor, the more he felt how ridiculous his idea was. In the end, it was the people of Li who suffered and suffered.

He only thinks that his thoughts when he was young are ridiculous, because after he became emperor, he suddenly understood one thing, if you want to fight, first ask your people if they agree, after all, the army and everything are selected from the common people.

The people are paying for the country, he can't disturb this quiet country for his own selfish desires, he can ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Such a good way is still requested by Qi Lao, even if he doesn't think about himself, he should also think about the safety of this country, after all, he has so many citizens in a country, he shouldn't ignore the people below for his own safety.

"Not bad." In the end, the emperor agreed, after all, what Qi Lao said made sense, and he also believed his judgment.

"Then it's time to let people prepare." For this country, Qi Lao is not unconcerned, and Chu Hongze is his apprentice, Mu Zirong is a bit dangerous, he can't look at it.

"Okay, I'll let someone arrange it!" The emperor immediately arranged for people to prepare.

Listening to the emperor's arrangement, Qi Lao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "When I was young, I thought that I would be a wise monarch only if the country became bigger, but now I feel that if the country is safe and stable, the country and the people will be safe." ”

The emperor nodded, glanced at him, and agreed with his words very much, maybe he was not young anymore, and he wanted to seek stability, but lying on the cold dragon collapse of the palace, he felt that he was wrong, he was now looking for someone who could tell the truth, but he couldn't find it anymore, and the only person who could pour out his heart was Qi Lao.

Maybe it's because of his age, he can also understand the emperor's thoughts, after all, Qi Lao is still a person from another world, and many things have his own unique opinions, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much." ”

Don't worry about it yet, maybe he can't sleep well all day when he sleeps on the dragon's fall, for the sake of this country, he still pays too much after all, and the wrinkles under his eyelids are heavy after all.

How could he not be worried? If Mu Zirong is really that kind of person, can his country still be stable? He can't sit still, he's an emperor, he's the leader of the country, and he's the people's reliance.

The emperor is his identity, the country is his responsibility, and the people are his concern.

Maybe that's the case, but the emperor can't sleep peacefully for a long time, and he can't sleep peacefully for decades of his life, just because he is the emperor and the world is his responsibility, and it is because of responsibility that he is so worried.

For the emperor, it is not easy to have a close friend, they just watch the people below go back and forth, after all, they still have their own hearts, but they dare not say their thoughts, nor dare to confide their thoughts.

……

Chu Hongchen listened to that person's words, and he couldn't be stable for a long time, so he smashed his antiques after he went back.

This sound frightened people in the end, and the people who heard the movement all thought in their hearts, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what's the matter?" Why did you get so angry as soon as you came back today, what the hell happened? ”

In view of the fact that the others are the crown princes, they are just subordinates, and the subordinates have no right to ask about the master's affairs at all.

When the time comes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not happy, and it will not be cost-effective to drag them out and beat them to death.

Almost everyone was scared, no one dared to go up and ask, they were all looking at their noses and noses, for fear that they would be harmed by the pond fish.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what's the matter?" However, everyone still couldn't help but guess what happened to Chu Hongchen.

Chu Hongchen was indeed aggrieved in his heart, a little annoyed, and even the little girl who came to sweep the floor looked upset, "What are you doing, get out, don't appear in front of this palace, this palace will be upset when she looks at you." ”

Looking upset, this group of brainless people still have to go up, Chu Hongchen is in a bad mood when he sees anyone.

The little girl heard the voice, her voice was very small, she lowered her head but didn't dare to look at His Royal Highness the Prince, "Return...... Returning to Your Highness, slave maid...... The slave had come to sweep the floor...... and she had been sent to gesture for the fragments of the ceramic jars he had broken.

Chu Hongchen, who heard this, was even more annoyed, "What are you sweeping, didn't you hear what this palace said?" Get out of here for Hongu. ”

When he said the last sentence, his voice was so loud that the little girl couldn't help but tremble, and then rolled out with a rolling belt.

Chu Hongze's brain was already congested with anger at this time, thinking of the things that Qi Lao did to him a few days ago, he still remembered it as fresh as ever, "He actually treated me like this, I am also the prince of Longteng Kingdom, except for my father, everything is decided by this palace, why does he treat this palace like that?" ”

He is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the pride of the sky since he was a child, how many people can ignore him like this and be so unreasonable to him? Moreover, Qi Lao not only didn't care about his identity, but instead treated him as a hostage, and he felt a chill in his heart when he thought of Qi Lao's original methods.

Moreover, he went to see his father before, but his father didn't even see him, but this Qi Lao was unimpeded in the palace, which made Chu Hongchen's heart more and more unbalanced, so he arranged for his secret guard to secretly follow Qi Lao.

As soon as Qi Lao came out of the palace, he couldn't help but squint slightly, then lifted the curtain and asked the groom, "You say, is someone following us behind?" ”

He was extremely vigilant, and he had long noticed that there seemed to be a few more tails behind him, and sure enough, as soon as the groom stopped, he saw a few black-clothed people sneaking behind him.

The coachman suddenly showed a puzzled look, "What? He didn't have the vigilance and martial arts of Qi Lao, so he didn't find that there were a few people behind his car.

Qi Lao pondered, he quietly instructed the groom not to panic, and then silently observed the black-clothed people behind him, and saw that the black-clothed people seemed to be the same people as the people who followed him a few days ago.

He couldn't help but ponder, who might be trying to harm him? Or rather......

Wen Ruyi was also sitting next to Qi Lao, and naturally knew that there were people following them behind, seeing Qi Lao's calm and relaxed appearance, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Master, there are many people who want to follow you." ”

What she said was right, now that Qi Lao is sitting in this position, he will naturally stare at others a lot, since he is sitting in this position, he must think about what will happen after he sits in this position, and he must have the ability to face it.

But when he heard this, Qi Lao smiled, "Probably? ”

Probably, he boasted proudly in his heart, who made him such a talented person, so that everyone hated and envied?

"Bypass the trail, then take a shortcut back to the house and take them for a few laps." Qi Lao didn't care about the black-clothed men who followed behind him, he trusted this coachman very much, he was also very skilled, and he must know which way he was talking about.

When he looked out of the car, he saw that the driver had dumped the men.

Back at the inn where a few people were temporarily staying, Qi Lao and Chu Hongze talked about today's events, Wen Ruyi was bored and fiddled with the tea cup in his hand, then looked up at the two of them, and said weakly, "How long are we going to hide?" What are you doing hiding like this? Now that the prince has gone back, and the master has met with the emperor, why are we still hiding here? ”

Hearing Wen Ruyi's words, the master and apprentice glanced at each other, Wen Ruyi was not wrong, in the month that they left, nothing special happened in Longteng, since they had arrived in the capital, the prince would definitely not be able to do anything to them openly, and there was no need for them to hide and hide anymore.

"Yes, anyway, the prince also knows that we are in the capital, and it is not a way for us to hide like this." Qi Lao met with the emperor today and told him a lot of things, and now he also has a lot of arrangements, and it is obviously not appropriate to hide.

"Okay, then let's go back to the palace first and then think about it in the long run." In the end, Chu Hongze still accepted Wen Ruyi's suggestion.

The three of them returned to the palace together.
