Chapter 215: Looking for the Master
Helping Chu Hongze to sit back on the bed, Wen Ruyi discussed with him, "Lord Wang, let me go, I'll go out to find out the news of the master and see where he has gone now." β
"No way!" As soon as Wen Ruyi's words were finished, Chu Hongze strongly refused, "Ruyi, let's not talk about whether you can find the master, it is this deep mountain and old forest, how can you get out by yourself?" β
"I ......" Wen Ruyi was silent, Chu Hongze was right.
This is nothing, Chu Hongze took a breath before continuing, "You said that I have an injury, is your wound already healing?" You also have wounds on your body, and you can't move. β
"Of course it's healing!" Thinking that he didn't see that he was bandaging his wounds, Wen Ruyi simply pretended that his injuries had healed.
Who knew that Chu Hongze lifted her petticoat, revealing the wound that was bandaged by the strips of cloth in the wedding dress, "Is this called healing?" Do you think you can hide it from this king? β
The facts are in front of her, even if Wen Ruyi still wants to argue for herself, it is impossible to change anything, because her wounds have indeed not healed, and she just wants to help Chu Hongze share some things when she says this.
"Ruyi, don't torture yourself for me, okay?" Speaking of this, Chu Hongze's eyes crossed a trace of pain, and his voice became hoarse, "Besides, I am not weak enough to let my beloved woman go into danger for me." β
Could it be that in Ruyi's eyes, he is already a wasted person?
"I ...... That was not what I meant! The pain in his eyes deeply stimulated Wen Ruyi, and also made her realize that the decision she made not only did not reduce Chu Hongze's burden, but hurt his self-esteem.
Wen Ruyi pursed her lips, the hand hanging by her side, clenched her fist tightly, and continued for a long time, "I...... I'm just worried about you, you're so badly hurt, almost ...... I almost couldn't wake up, I ...... I'm afraid ......"
It was only at this moment that her long-suppressed fear and anxiety finally exploded.
When she saw Chu Hongze lying dying at the foot of the hillside, protecting her in her arms, she couldn't help it.
When she saw that Chu Hongze was in a coma and might never wake up again, she held back.
Now, Chu Hongze woke up and sat there chatting with her, but she couldn't help it anymore.
Something crystal slid down her thin face, Wen Ruyi hurriedly raised her hand to wipe the wetness of her face, "Lord Wang, I'...... It's not like I don't believe you. β
Seeing his beloved crying, even if Chu Hongze was angry again, he compromised in an instant, and all his proud calm self-control had already collapsed in front of Wen Ruyi's tears, and it collapsed in an instant.
"Don't cry, Ruyi, don't cry......" He struggled to sit up from the broken bed, bent his fingers to Wen Ruyi's face, and wanted to wipe away the tears on his face for her, and his heart felt like he had been stabbed with a knife, and said his decision, "Ruyi, since you and I are afraid of hurting each other, it is better for us to go to the master together." β
Now the two of them are in a very bad state, one person will always be afraid of the other, so it is better to act together.
The gentle and considerate tear-wiping action and soft-spoken coaxing from Chu Hongze gradually made Wen Ruyi stop crying, but he still looked at him with teary eyes, and his expression was a little stunned: "We...... Do you want to go together? β
"Hmm." Chu Hongze nodded solemnly, staring at Wen Ruyi's eyes as if they could drip water, "In this way, let's recuperate here first, wait for a day, and after a day, we will go to the master together, okay?" β
"Okay." Wen Ruyi nodded, she was still quite satisfied with this method, and she was not at ease about leaving Chu Hongze anyway.
Their argument finally came to an end, and the next day, Wen Ruyi was in charge of the two people's injuries, although they did not recover completely, but they were much better than when they were first injured, and they also had enough energy.
A day passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time for them to agree to go to Qi Lao.
After using the wild fruits in the mountains that Wen Ruyi found, Chu Hongze carefully left the broken bed with Wen Ruyi's support.
After his feet landed steadily, Chu Hongze whimpered briskly: "Hey, I can finally walk like before!" β
Happy he smiled like a simple child, and his bright smile as bright as the sun unconsciously infected Wen Ruyi, and she couldn't help laughing, "Yes, Lord Wang, your injuries are much better." β
"yes!" Recalling all the experiences of these days, Chu Hongze's heart slowly rose with emotion, and his eyes became more and more obscure, "Let's go, Ruyi, let's go to the master!" β
Wen Ruyi nodded, took the first step to open the door of the dilapidated thatched house, and suddenly, the sunlight outside the house poured in, and it instantly filled the entire room.
They walked out of the thatched hut hand in hand and returned the same way according to the pre-planned route, preparing to see if they could find any trace of Qi Lao in this way.
After hitting the road, the fresh air in the mountains and forests seemed to make them forget about their previous unpleasantness for a while.
But that was only a temporary forgetting, as they went deeper, the hidden memories rolled back like a tide, and the deeper they went into this forest, the more uneasy Wen Ruyi's heart became, "Lord Wang, you say...... Can we find a master? β
"I don't know." Chu Hongze shook his head, and there were many uncertainties in his heart, "Actually, I can't guarantee that I will be able to find the master and his old man, and it is very likely that we will fall into the net when we go back this time." β
He tilted his head slightly, his deep eyes stared at Wen Ruyi beside him, and said with a hint of worry in his tone: "Ruyi, you...... Are you afraid to go back with me? Maybe he will be caught by Mu Zirong again. β
Seeing the worried look in his eyes, Wen Ruyi was not timid, but strengthened her belief even more, "I'm not afraid, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of me, I'm not afraid of being by your side!" β
The sonorous and powerful voice hit the depths of Chu Hongze's heart, and all the uneasiness disappeared after listening to her words, as if all the gloom was dispelled by the light in the darkness in an instant.
After eliminating the uneasiness in their hearts, they continued to hurry, either cautiously, or as light as a swallow shuttling through the deep mountains and old forests when they came, but fortunately, Chu Hongze had recovered a lot, so finding the way and hiding became a lot easier for him.
β¦β¦
On the other side, Mu Zirong, who ignored the stalkers sent by the emperor and returned to the prince's mansion, walked around his mansion as usual, looking leisurely and leisurely, and didn't seem to notice anything unusual at all.
But in the gap when no one was following, he would summon the remaining guards in the palace and give them an order, "Recall all the horses, and all the men will be stationed in front of the gates leading to the Dragon Teng Kingdom!" β
He decided that he would continue to look for Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze in this way, Chu Hongze took Wen Ruyi away, he definitely wanted to escape back to Longteng Country, as long as he shut up everything he lived here, he would definitely find them.
"Subordinates obey!" After receiving a new order from Mu Zirong, the leaders of all the guards dodged out of the window as they came, and they were nowhere to be found in the blink of an eye.
After Mu Zirong, who was standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands, saw his subordinates leave, the corners of his pursed lips hooked up a bloodthirsty smile: "Wen Ruyi, Chu Hongze, do you think you can really take out the palm of His Highness's hand?" Don't be too naΓ―ve, this prince will definitely find you! β
Looking up at the sky and laughing three times, Mu Zirong returned to his desk and looked through the ancient books he bought from the market stall, and returned to his usual sense of contentment.
The leaders of the guards who led the way quickly found their respective teams and gathered all their men to convey Mu Zirong's message: "The master has issued a new order, let us disguise ourselves and secretly station at the checkpoint leading to the gate of Longteng Country, and if we find anything, we must report it in time." β
"Everyone stop searching, immediately set off for the pass, there is no mistake!"
As soon as the order came out, all the guards set off, took off the uniform uniforms of the guards of the Prince's Palace, found the clothes of the ordinary people to change into, and quickly rushed to all directions.
There are many passes that can lead to the Dragon Teng Kingdom, but in order to catch Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze, Mu Zirong did not hesitate to spend his blood this time, and basically mobilized all the guards he had cultivated.
Except for those secret guards who couldn't see the light, they didn't move, and they still stayed in the dark of the prince's mansion to recuperate quietly, waiting for the next time to make a move.
In addition to Mu Zirong, there is also a wave of forces that are also involved in the search for Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze, that is, Chu Hongchen, the crown prince of Longteng Kingdom.
Don't look at this prince's usual stupidity, sometimes he still uses his brains, for example, this time, he also sent his own guards, but he didn't act alone, but quietly followed behind Mu Zirong's hands, "Hehe, Mu Zirong, do you want to catch Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze alone?" Don't think about it, they're all from the main palace! β
The prince who stayed at the post station received the report from the secret agent, opened the hollow bamboo tube quickly, took out a note from it and opened it to read, only to see that it read: "Mu Zirong sent the guard Buyi to the various passes at the junction of Longteng Kingdom, and he changed direction and followed behind." β
After reading the secret report, the prince took off the lampshade covering the candle flame, held the note with the secret report with two fingers, approached the candle flame, and lit it.
The flames that sparked in an instant quickly engulfed the note, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into ashes and scattered on the ground.
The prince slowly bent down, pinched a handful of ashes with his fingertips and rubbed them gently, and muttered chilling words in his mouth, "Chu Hongze, your death date is coming soon." β
