"Hongze, the teacher is now old, many things have long been looked down on, but you are just right, there are countless possibilities in the future, sometimes you don't have to be too reluctant, just follow your own heart!"

Qi Lao knows Chu Hongze very well, this kid seems to be cold and ruthless, but in fact, he is kind-hearted and affectionate, sometimes he is soft-hearted and thinks too much, so he feels difficult.

Chu Hongze listened to Qi Lao's words, and his heart suddenly brightened, he knew that he had fallen in love with that smart, tenacious, lively and lovely woman.

Yes, everything in the future is uncertain, whether it is good or bad, only grasping the present is the right way.

The moonlight poured silently on the pavilion, everything was immersed in the bright moonlight, and the ground was imprinted with jagged and mottled shadows, swaying.

"Thank you, master, the apprentice knows." Chu Hongze has always been close to Qi Lao, and many things will be discussed with him, "By the way, master, in fact, I still have some things I want to talk to you about this time, mainly about the ...... in the court."

Chu Hongze did not hide all the recent events in the DPRK and China, including the arrangements he made and the corresponding forces, and more emphatically said what happened this time that he felt suspicious.

On the day of the New Year's Day, his father was assassinated by the Assassins, but fortunately, General Li rescued his father in time, but General Li was injured by the Assassins and was poisoned, but fortunately, Ruyi saved his life with an antidote pill, and he is still in a coma. And my father is now suspicious of me and the crown prince, and some time ago he called the two of us to talk, and ordered the new imperial guard with a knife Luo Yulin to investigate the matter thoroughly.

"It turns out that so much has happened during this time, it seems that this battle should be clear immediately." Qi Lao couldn't help but sigh, in fact, he knew a long time ago that Chu Hongze would be involved in the battle for the throne, as a child of the royal family, all this was inevitable, "Hongze, according to the current situation in the court, who do you suspect more?" ”

"I'm still suspicious of Chu Hongchen, I think this time it's very likely that Chu Hongchen sent an assassin to assassinate his father, but he didn't expect to be stopped by General Li, and I also noticed the new imperial guard with a knife next to my father, he was very faceless, and he didn't know where he came from, but he seemed to be deeply trusted by his father, and his father also asked him to investigate the big case of assassinating the emperor, which is really suspicious."

Chu Hongze originally suspected Chu Hongchen, but there was no evidence, plus the Luo Yulin who suddenly appeared, everything seemed logical, but there seemed to be something wrong.

"This matter is indeed extraordinary, it seems that there is probably some secret hidden in it, Hongze, the teacher knows that you are careful and cautious, but you also have to remember that everything cannot be seen only by your eyes, nor can you rely only on suspicion, you need to use all available clues, little by little to think and reason, and then you will gradually get closer to the truth."

Qi Lao is still serious, and now he is not by Chu Hongze's side, so he can't analyze him too much, Chu Hongze is very smart, and has his own unique ideas, and he doesn't want to say too much and affect his thinking.

……

This is the second day of coming to the mountain, the moon is very cool tonight, Wen Ruyi sits alone on the swing in front of the house, while enjoying the starry sky while humming a song, the bright moon is like water, and the moonlight pouring down seems to add a layer of tulle to her clothes, like a fairy in the mountains.

Chu Hongze, who was standing not far away, looked at her blankly, his heart was soft, it was so good to have such a peaceful day!

Hearing the voice, Wen Ruyi immediately stopped, turned her head and saw a figure clearly from the hazy night, she knew that it must be Chu Hongze.

"Ruyi, we've been out for two days, and I don't know what happened to General Li, so let's go back to the house tomorrow." Chu Hongze said as he walked in front of Wen Ruyi.

"Well, that's fine!" General Lee's situation is indeed worrying, they have been here for two days, and it is time to go back.

"Master, his old man originally liked to be clean, and we have been here for two days, and there are still a lot of things in the court, and I am afraid that if we stay any longer, it will become a mess." Chu Hongze also saw that Wen Ruyi was a little reluctant, such a place is indeed good, but they are entangled in mundane things, I am afraid that it is not suitable for such a place.

Wen Ruyi was swinging slowly, Chu Hongze glanced down at her, only to find that her clothes were very thin, the weather was cold now, and the weather in the mountains was so cold, he only sighed that she didn't know how to take care of herself, and she didn't look like a girl at all.

Chu Hongze shook his head a little helplessly, and directly pulled her off the swing, and blamed while walking into the house, "It's cold at night, why don't you wear more when you come out, your body is not good, what if you get sick again?"

Before Wen Ruyi could react, he was already pulled into the house by Chu Hongze, and then he took a cloak from the couch and put it on for her, and his face was a little unsightly.

Wen Ruyi knew that it was his own mistake, so he let Chu Hongze pinch and rub it round, and looked at him with a look of knowing his mistake.

Chu Hongze couldn't get angry at all with Wen Ruyi, who was looking at him pitifully, so he could only sigh helplessly, let her rest earlier, and Wen Ruyi responded happily.

Early the next morning, the two accompanied Qi Lao to have breakfast and were ready to leave.

"I didn't expect you to go back so soon, it seems that the old man is bored in the mountains again!" Qi Lao looked at the two of them and couldn't help jokingly saying, to be honest, he was still very reluctant to leave this clever little girl Wen Ruyi.

Wen Ruyi naturally likes Qi Lao very much, and when she heard Qi Lao say this, she immediately stepped forward and hugged Qi Lao's arm, and said with a smile, "I'll just say, the master will definitely not let us go, but don't worry, master, I will know the road in the future, and I will definitely come to see you when I have time!" ”

"You girl has such a sweet mouth, the old man sees that you are so smart and clever, so I will give you a treasure as a meeting gift!" Qi Lao was very helpful to Wen Ruyi's words, laughed twice and groped in his sleeve, and then took out a round thing and handed it to Wen Ruyi.

"Ah, what is this?" Wen Ruyi was attracted by the crystal ball-like thing in front of her in an instant, she reached out and took it from Qi Lao's hand, and there was a cold touch to the touch, which was very comfortable.

Maybe women are born with a special preference for crystal and some shiny things, Wen Ruyi is the first time to see this kind of thing here, and she naturally can't put it down when she holds it in her hand.

Qi Lao looked at Wen Ruyi with a happy look and couldn't help touching his beard and laughing, "Silly girl, this is a peerless spirit bead, which I got from a master of the Tao when I was out on a tour, this bead is extremely spiritual, and it is said that it can save people's lives when it is critical." It's useless for me to keep this bead around, so I might as well give it to you, now the world is sinister, you can hold it, and you can have the ability to protect yourself, and it may come in handy when it is critical. ”

Hearing Qi Lao say that this is such an important treasure, Wen Ruyi couldn't help but be a little surprised, she didn't expect Qi Lao to give herself such a valuable thing, as the so-called merit is not punished, she is really a little embarrassed to accept it.

"No, no, master, you should keep such a valuable thing for yourself, I can't take it, and I know how to heal myself, and the prince will also send someone to protect me, so you can rest assured."

This gift is too precious for Wen Ruyi to accept.

Qi Lao nodded with satisfaction, and didn't reach out to pick it up again, but only pretended to be angry, "You girl, you are the first time to see me, and you call me a master, the master will naturally give you a meeting gift, my old man has nothing else, if you don't accept it, are you disgusting me as an old man?" ”

"Don't dare, master, how can I dislike you, I don't mean that, don't misunderstand." Wen Ruyi didn't see that Qi Lao was joking, thinking that he was really angry, she didn't want Qi Lao to misinterpret her meaning, so she turned her head to look at Chu Hongze, trying to ask for help from him.

"Since it was given to you by the master, you can take it with confidence, you have something to protect yourself, and I can also worry less." Chu Hongze saw that Qi Lao really wanted to give the spirit bead to Wen Ruyi, so he persuaded her to accept it.

"Yes, although this bead is a treasure, it is a waste to an old man like me!" Seeing that Wen Ruyi was still a little entangled, Qi Lao simply said it clearly.

Wen Ru's opinion really couldn't be refused, and she hurriedly nodded and bowed to the master to thank her, she knew that the master and Chu Hongze were worried about her, so she accepted it.

"Alright, alright, the time is almost up, you should go, or it will be dark when you go down the mountain." Seeing that it was not early, Qi Lao hurriedly urged the two of them to go down the mountain.

"That'...... Master, let's go. Wen Ruyi followed behind Chu Hongze, and waved his hand to Qi Lao step by step, although she had been with Qi Lao for a short time, she liked this master very much, and they had the same experience, and they didn't know when they would meet next time, so she was very reluctant.

Along the way, Chu Hongze held Wen Ruyi's hand, and the two of them walked on the rugged mountain road as if they came, but the difference this time was that they quickly went down the mountain.

As soon as he walked out of the mountains and forests, Wen Ruyi saw that Wei Feng was already waiting over there with the carriage, and it seemed that Chu Hongze had already arranged everything.

Wen Ruyi was very satisfied with this, and happily followed Chu Hongze into the carriage.

On the way back to the palace, Wei Feng also briefly told Chu Hongze about the situation in the capital in the past few days when they went up the mountain.
