Hearing them discuss the emperor of the Dragon Teng Kingdom so blatantly, Wen Ruyi was a little worried: "Is it really good for you to say this about him?" If the emperor and his old man heard it, would he be angry? After all...... This companion is like a tiger! ”

"Afraid of what? Although it is true to say that a companion is like a companion tiger, we are not wrong, the emperor will not do anything to us, not to mention that the emperor is far away in this sky, and the ears and clairvoyance can't control it. Qi Lao shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

Wen Ruyi was also a little speechless for a while, just now it was obvious that the old man was the first to show his timidity, but now he has changed his attitude, it is really ......

"Okay, let's not waste time first, let's go to the city, and entering the city is to return to the Dragon Teng Country in the actual sense, after all, we are afraid of anything if we are here." Chu Hongze came out and interrupted the conversation between Qi Lao and Wen Ruyi in time, and took the rope that tied the prince to the city gate first.

Seeing this, Qi Lao and Wen Ruyi also hurriedly followed, and the three of them went straight to the city gate with a smile, obviously much more relaxed.

The prince, who had been silent since the road, saw that the city gate was in front of him, and at the moment when he was about to pass through the heavy gatehouse, he finally broke free from the restraints on his wrists, and burst out all his internal strength to break all the ropes like a desperate fight.

"Hahaha! Ben Tai ...... I'm free! The prince habitually wanted to call himself "Bengong", but when he thought that he couldn't reveal his identity, he quickly changed his words, but he couldn't help but be proud in his heart.

"What?!" The sudden change made the three people who walked in front all turn back in surprise, but by this time the prince had already slipped away into the distance, laughing proudly and began to flee.

"You ......" Chu Hongze was the first to come back to his senses, and he was about to chase after him, but he was stopped by Qi Lao stretching out his arm, "Hey, Ze'er, forget it, don't chase, let him go!" ”

Chu Hongze was a little puzzled: "Why?" Master, we finally caught the prince! Now that he's free again, it's hard for us to do anything to him! ”

You must know that when he returned to Longteng Kingdom, the prince's strength was several times higher than when he was in Mu Zirong's country, and even if he was the king of Rui, it would be very difficult to compete with the prince.

Recalling the scene where he secretly competed with the prince in the past, Chu Hongze could only shake his head helplessly.

"Afraid of what? It's just the same as before, you are the dignified Rui King of the Dragon Teng Kingdom, are you still afraid that the prince will not succeed? Qi Lao said with a smile, he didn't take Chu Hongchen in his eyes at all.

For his words, Chu Hongze couldn't refute it for a while, but the worst thing was to return to the original state, he continued to be his Rui King, and the prince continued to be his prince, even if there were any contradictions between the two of them, they were only competing in the dark, and they didn't dare to make any big moves on the bright side, after all, they still had to pay attention to it under the emperor's nose.

"Okay, okay, let's go into the city and talk about it, what's the matter of standing at the city gate?" Sensing that the three of them had not entered the city for a long time, the guards inside the city gate had attracted scrutiny, Wen Ruyi came over and pushed the master and apprentice to walk towards the city.

After a detailed and careful examination by the guards, it was determined that all three of them were "ordinary people" and that they were not carrying any weapons, and the guards guarding the city gate let them go.

After the three of them walked away, they vaguely heard the suspicious conversation between the guards.

"Strange, how do I think that young man looks familiar."

"You think so, too? I thought I was dazzled! ”

"Me too, I always feel as if I've seen him somewhere, but I can't remember it."

……

They gradually walked away, the guards' words had disappeared, Wen Ruyi glanced at the man who was called "somewhat familiar" by the guards, and couldn't help but purse his lips and chuckle: "Lord Wang, it seems that even if you wear the coarse cloth short clothes of the flat-headed people and wear makeup, you can still be recognized." ”

"Really?" Chu Hongze didn't think so, and looked indifferent.

"Isn't that normal?" Qi Lao habitually smoothed his beard, "This apprentice is a veritable member of the royal family, and he is also the famous Rui Wang Ye of Longteng Kingdom, these guards may have been transferred from the palace, there is nothing unusual about knowing him, but I can't recognize him after this disguise, I only feel a little familiar." ”

"So...... Lord, master, the little girl is hungry, can you find a place first, so that the little girl can fill her stomach first? "I haven't been able to eat a good meal after driving for so long, and Wen Ruyi's stomach is already hungry with her chest against her back.

"Ruyi is hungry? Chu Hongze glanced at her, took her hand and walked to a nearby stall.

The national style of Longteng Country is quite open, and if men and women are couples, there is nothing curious about walking hand in hand on the street.

"Hey! Hearing Xiao Ruyi say this, the old man also felt a little hungry. Qi Lao patted his stomach, and followed with a step on his thighs.

The three of them chose a noodle stall that looked like a good scale and sat down, and Chu Hongze beckoned the store to give them some noodles.

"Three guest officers, what do you want to eat?" The owner of the noodle stall who arrived in response took off the white hand towel on his shoulder and wiped it on the table where they were sitting.

"Three bowls of chicken noodle soup, are there?" Chu Hongze asked on his own, and the store nodded, "Of course there is, do you face three bowls of chicken soup?" Guest, please wait a minute, you will be here soon! ”

When the meal was ordered, the boss went to cook noodles for them, and the three of them got together to discuss the next itinerary.

"In my opinion, we also think it's best for us not to go back to Beijing first, just like the master said, we came back suddenly, and we don't know what the current form of the palace is, it's better to observe for a while before going back." Wen Ruyi expressed her opinion, she and Qi Lao's views were relatively close, and both agreed not to return to Beijing first, after all, the situation is unclear now, and they can observe and observe.

But Chu Hongze obviously didn't think so, and then frowned, "That's ...... What if the prince rushes back first? The crown prince, as you all know, is bent on getting rid of us, what if he goes to his father to reverse right and wrong? ”

"Ahem, I think we need to figure it out first." Wen Ruyi gave Chu Hongze a look you know, "The prince is mainly chasing you, right?" We...... It seems like it's all just incidental. ”

"Hmph, isn't it the opponent that the prince is chasing and killing? Do you think the prince will be able to let you go easily? Reaching out and knocking on her head, Chu Hongze pretended to be angry.

"Okay, okay, no kidding." Not wanting to be stung in the eyes by their affection, Qi Lao was very self-aware and interrupted the possibility of their continued interaction.

"Actually, my thoughts are the same as Ruyi, let's really not go back to Beijing for the time being, not to mention that the movements in the palace are unknown, but it is ten days and a half a month away from the capital. Even if you want to go back, it will take time! ”

"That's what I said......" Old Qi will always say something that Chu Hongze can't refute, the master is the master in the end.

"Guest, come on!" Just as the three of them were about to discuss, the noodle stall owner walked over with a tray carrying the three bowls of chicken noodle soup they had ordered.

His appearance naturally interrupted their discussion, and when there were outsiders, it was inconvenient to say a lot of things.

"Three bowls of chicken noodle soup, please use it slowly." The three bowls of noodles were placed in front of everyone one by one, and the noodle stall owner continued to greet the other customers in the stall.

There are a few pieces of chicken in the three bowls of noodles, and they are sprinkled with green onion and coriander, which is very delicious at first glance.

Wen Ruyi took a breath of the floating aroma and said in surprise: "It's so fragrant!" ”

"Well, it's delicious."

Qi Lao, who had already eaten a few bites, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and Chu Hongze also began to eat noodles. Seeing that they were not afraid of being hot, Wen Ruyi was stunned: "You guys, don't you feel hot?" ”

"Of course not." Qi Lao said, spreading the palm of his left hand on the table, and a wave of internal force fluctuations that even Wen Ruyi could see with the naked eye flowed on it.

"This ...... This is?! Wen Ruyi was surprised.

"The old man and Ze'er are both martial arts practitioners, isn't it a piece of cake to use internal force to force the heat away?"

Qi Lao was proud, but Wen Ruyi was not happy, and said "cheating" angrily, then turned his head and ignored them, pursed his cherry mouth, and blew the hot air in the bowl vigorously.

Chu Hongze laughed, put his left hand on her bowl, and condensed his internal force to the palm of his hand to blow away the heat in her bowl as well, "Okay, that's it." ”

"It's still the best for the prince." His actions threw a few pieces of honey into Wen Ruyi's heart, sweet.

After eating, the previously interrupted topic was automatically brought up again, and the discussion was whispered about where to go next.

"In the long run, let's find a place to live first, inquire about the domestic trends of Longteng during this time, and then go back after finding out." Qi Lao said.

"That'...... Shall we rent a yard to live here, or should we rent a yard near the capital? Wen Ruyi raised her hand to ask questions, being a curious baby.

"Here."

"Back to Beijing."

Qi Lao and Chu Hongze replied in unison, and when the words fell, the master and apprentice looked at each other again.

"Master, the apprentice thinks that it is better for us to choose a place close to the capital to live, as soon as we are close to the capital, we are well-informed. Second, it is convenient for us to return to Beijing. ”

Chu Hongze's explanation was very reasonable, and after thinking about it, Qi Lao also agreed with his explanation, "That's right." If we stay here, it will take more than half a month to rush to the capital, so it is better for us to go on the road now and return to the place close to the capital as soon as possible. ”

In this way, all three of them agreed to the decision to settle near the capital.

After quickly eating the noodles and paying for them, they continued on their way, and as for the prince who had escaped, he was obviously much better than them.
