Qi Lao began to get bored in his heart, so he lowered his eyelids and said casually: "I didn't go anywhere for the teacher, I just went to see if I could get out of the customs, so I can take you out of here as soon as possible and return to Longteng Country." ”

Is that so? Wen Ruyi nodded, and accepted Qi Lao's explanation with half a doubt, but the eyes staring at him were still full of curiosity, after all, this explanation sounded weird, too natural, but it made people feel that there were ghosts in it.

However, Qi Lao was reluctant to answer, and Wen Ruyi couldn't say anything more, so he had to accept this reason for the time being.

The two continued to walk in silence, and after walking for a while, Wen Ruyi felt that it was not good to be silent all the time, the atmosphere was really a little too weird, so he cleared his throat and said in the name of caring about his safety: "Master, since you can't tell me what you are doing, can you tell me where you went?" I...... The prince and I are very worried about the master, we have been waiting for a long time, it is dark, and we haven't waited for you, no, I came out to find you! ”

Tut! The impatient Qi Lao snorted secretly, and his white sword eyebrows twisted slightly, "Don't ask, Ruyi, even if you ask, I won't tell you, it's none of your business!" The tone of the last sentence sounded a little scary, as if it was murderous, which made Wen Ruyi tremble.

Immediately, Qi Lao also realized that his tone was a little heavier, and stiffly tried to slow down his tone, and then added: "Hey, the teacher is very tired now, and I really don't want to speak, I'm sorry, Ruyi, you can be quiet for a while, let the teacher be quiet, okay?" ”

He said so, even if Wen Ruyi still had 100,000 reasons in her heart to ask, she was embarrassed to really ask, she had to be silent and honestly hold the torch to illuminate, follow behind Qi Lao, desperately to catch up with Qi Lao's speed, and rush to the temple, but her physical strength was not good, and it didn't take long for Qi Lao to leave behind.

The preoccupied Qi Lao didn't notice that he had thrown Wen Ruyi behind, and Wen Ruyi didn't call out to him, and when he noticed it himself, Wen Ruyi had been thrown far away by him.

Qi Lao stopped awkwardly and waited for Wen Ruyi to catch up, and after about a while, Wen Ruyi finally caught up with him panting.

"I'm sorry Ruyi, but I forgot about you just now." Qi Lao, who didn't want to talk anymore, thought about it for a while, but couldn't help but explain, after all, no matter how he said it, Wen Ruyi came out to look for him because he was worried about him, and it was a little too unkind for him to do so.

Wen Ruyi pulled the corners of her mouth and squeezed out an awkward smile, silent.

Seeing her like this, Qi Lao couldn't say anything, the two hurried back to the broken temple in silence, and Chu Hongze, who had been waiting at the door for a long, long time, saw them from a distance and hurriedly greeted them.

"Master, Ruyi!" Chu Hongze only had time to shout the names of the two of them, and when he was about to ask where the master went, his master Qi Lao didn't look at him, and directly strode into the temple, and turned his back on the bunk where he slept and lay down.

Chu Hongze couldn't help frowning, a little dumbfounded by Qi Lao's cold attitude, so he had to restrain his words and look at Wen Ruyi instead, "Ruyi, master, what's wrong?" ”

"I don't know." Thinking back to the feelings he felt along the way, the expression on Wen Ruyi's little face gradually became serious, "He has been like this since the moment I received the master, to be honest, I think the master looks a little weird." ”

Chu Hongze, who had recovered from his dumbfounded state, turned around, accompanied Wen Ruyi to look directly at the back of Qi Lao walking into the temple, raised his hand to cover his chin, and then fell into deep thought, it turned out that he was not the only one who felt this way.

The fire lit in the temple is not too far from where Qi Lao is lying, and when the night wind passes through the front and back doors of the temple, the burning flames will jump, and at the same time, the reflection of Qi Lao will be stretched out, everything does look a little strange.

After pondering for a while, Chu Hongze lifted his half-drooping eyelids and turned his head slightly to look at Wen Ruyi: "Did you say anything to the master?" ”

"Nope." Wen Ruyi shook his head, "I just asked him where he went and what he was doing, and I didn't say anything else." ”

"Did he tell you where he went?"

"Well, that's exactly what I want to tell you." Seeing that he took the initiative to ask about Qi Lao's whereabouts, Wen Ruyi also looked at Chu Hongze seriously, and said, "At that time, I asked the master where he went, but the master always kept silent, and frequently changed the topic, it seems that he doesn't want to say much." ”

"Oh? And such things? The look of surprise on Chu Hongze's face was even worse, and his expression became more and more profound, "Master, he is not this kind of person, how can this be?" ”

In his opinion, the master's personality has always been optimistic and kind, and he will basically answer all the questions asked to him, so how can he change the topic secretly? This is really not like the style of the master!

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I don't know if I should tell you." Suddenly, Wen Ruyi's mind came to mind when he was rushing back with Qi Lao, and he felt that chilling killing intent at a certain moment.

At that time, she didn't turn the corner, and now that she thinks about it, that killing intent should have come from Qi Lao's body, because there was no one else nearby except her and Qi Lao.

Now that Wen Ruyi, who realized this, hesitated, not knowing whether he should tell Chu Hongze about the killing intent he felt on Qi Lao's body.

"Just say it, let's find a way to solve it together." Listening to the hesitation in her tone, Chu Hongze thought that she had encountered some thorny problem.

"No, it's not something, it's ......" Seeing that Chu Hongze misunderstood what he meant, Wen Ruyi was entangled for a while, but still chose to trust him and gave it all up, "Yes...... At that time, I felt the killing intent from the master's body. ”

"What?" Chu Hongze was extremely surprised and couldn't believe it.

……

"What!" After listening to the report of his subordinates, the prince who returned to his own garden started a fire as always, "I didn't find any clues about Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze, what are you doing in this palace?" It's all a bunch of waste, it's useless, and you can't do it well for this little thing. ”

There was a row of black-clothed and masked men kneeling on the ground in front of the prince, in the face of his monstrous anger, they didn't dare to be angry or speak, they could only bear it silently with their heads down, after all, they didn't complete the task assigned by the prince, so naturally they didn't dare to respond, and they were afraid that the prince would punish them severely.

"Usually one by one, they claim to be some peerless masters, and their tracking ability is first-class? And the result! It's been more than a month now, and neither of them can be found, and they haven't even seen a single figure, so what's the use of telling you guys? If it weren't for Chu Hongze's hatred, he would have given up chasing these two people a long time ago, who would have gotten to find whom!

However, it is precisely because the person he is chasing is Chu Hongze that he can't give up, this is his number one enemy, except for him, his status in the future is not worry-free? So whenever I hear the news from my subordinates, I get more and more irritable, and I just feel that they are all waste, and I can't do such a small thing well.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you dissipate your anger, this ...... There's never been any movement, and it's useless for you to be anxious with them now! The thin man who followed the prince to give him advice waited until Chu Hongchen calmed down a little before he stepped forward respectfully, saying things that seemed to be excusing the people in black, but in fact he was belittling them for uselessness.

"The top priority is to quickly find a way to continue looking for Chu Hongze, instead of spreading resentment on this group of useless waste." When the man said the word "waste", his tone was full of strong disdain, and his eyes were also full of disdain.

The prince glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and said in annoyance: "Do you still need to say this?" Bengong also knows that Chu Hongze should be arrested first, the question is how to catch it? Many people have been sent out and have not been caught, and this palace looks, they can't catch it at all! ”

"Your Highness, please listen to the villain, since our people can't catch it, it's better to hire some people in the rivers and lakes, there are a lot of talented people among them, which will be of great effect to us." Seeing that Chu Hongchen was so angry, the man also glanced at the group of people on the ground lightly, and then said the method he came up with.

The man's words made the prince suddenly interested, so he looked at him squarely, "Oh? Tell me about it. ”

"Yes." After getting the prince's inquiry, he arched his hand at him, and the man's heart couldn't help but be happy, and then continued, "Now Chu Hongze and Wen Ruyi are very likely not in the capital, so we haven't found them. If you are not in the capital, it is very likely that you have fled to the rivers and lakes. The affairs of the rivers and lakes should be left to the people in the rivers and lakes to solve, and when the time comes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you only need to pay them enough money, and the rest ...... Just leave it to them. ”

"This ...... It's a good idea. "It's not a perfect solution, but for now, I can only try it as a dead horse doctor.

Accepting the man's offer, the prince immediately asked his henchmen to contact the killer organization on the rivers and lakes, handed over the portraits of Chu Hongze and Wen Ruyi to them, and then hired them to find the whereabouts of Chu Hongze and Wen Ruyi.

The killer organization received a large amount of money, but regardless of the identities of these people, they were naturally happy to work for their own financiers, and then quickly launched a carpet search, whether it was inside or outside the city, whether it was above the temple or far away from the rivers and lakes.

In short, all aspects were infiltrated by the killers hired by the prince, just to catch Chu Hongze, and there was also a Wen Ruyi.
