Chapter 190: Against the Man in Black
On the other side, Chu Hongze, who was squatting on the roof, finally waited for the opportunity that there was no patrol around, he quickly flew down from the roof, carefully dodged his figure and embarked on a journey to continue to find Wen Ruyi.
However, Mu Zirong's mansion is too big, even if Chu Hongze has been to Mu Zirong's mansion many times, but Mu Zirong is insidious and cunning, Chu Hongze doesn't know where Wen Ruyi was sent to, and for a while, he can only run around like a headless fly.
Look here, look there, Chu Hongze anxiously looked for Wen Ruyi's location, and always paid attention to hiding his figure, so that he could not be discovered by the patrol, but after looking all the way, he didn't see any trace of Wen Ruyi.
"Damn, Mu Zirong, where did you hide Ruyi?" Pushing open a hidden door, Chu Hongze probed in and looked, there was no one in the empty room, and finally couldn't help but curse, for the first time he began to feel that it was no good to build the mansion too big.
After exploring this room, Chu Hongze quietly retreated again, and closed the door again according to the original false cover, he searched for it without giving up, passing through the long corridor with nine twists and turns, passing by the garden full of flowers, and coming from the front of the courtyard to the back of the courtyard.
I've been looking for so long, but I've only found less than half of the houses, so if I go on like this, when will I find Ruyi?
As soon as this thought appeared in Chu Hongze's heart, he was driven out of his mind: "Don't give up, Ruyi is still waiting for me to find her, and I still have something to ask her!" ”
Reinvigorated, Chu Hongze dodged another patrol of guards and dodged around the corner of the house, where it was sometimes easy to encounter surprises or fright.
People generally like to encounter surprises, and no one likes to be frightened, but unfortunately, what Chu Hongze encountered was frightened.
Who knew that he had just turned a corner, and almost bumped into an unidentified suspicious figure dressed in black with a black face covering on his face.
Thanks to Chu Hongze's quick reaction, he avoided the other party in time with a flash of his body, which did not let the two of them collide together.
In fact, this suspicious character is no one else, it is Qi Lao, who visited Mu Zirong's study and was injured by those guards, he was also trying to find a way to return to the banquet quietly, but now that he is injured, there are more guards in the prince's mansion, so he has been grinding for a long time to get to this place, but it is a coincidence that he happened to meet Chu Hongze, who was about to come to find Wen Ruyi.
The master and apprentice suddenly met, Qi Lao's whole body was tightly wrapped, Chu Hongze couldn't see who he was, but Qi Lao could recognize Chu Hongze.
"...... you" Chu Hongze couldn't help but be stunned, and then reacted quickly, he couldn't help but secretly look at the man in black in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this person's figure seemed to be a little familiar, and if he had to let him say who this person was, he couldn't remember it for a while.
However, what Chu Hongze can be sure of is that the man in black in front of him must be the assassin Mu Zirong said!
Thinking of this, Chu Hongze didn't plan to entangle with him too much, after all, this was Mu Zirong's prince's mansion, and he definitely didn't come for him, and he just wanted to find Wen Ruyi now, and he didn't want to fight with him and lead the guards away, he wanted to bypass the man and walk past him as if he didn't see it.
His thoughts naturally couldn't escape Qi Lao's eyes, and Qi Lao's original intention was not to entangle with him, because he didn't want him to see his identity, but he was afraid that he would see something strange if he directly ignored Chu Hongze.
There was no way, Qi Lao could only fight Chu Hongze.
"Whoosh-" Hearing a cold wind blowing, Qi Lao came straight towards Chu Hongze's back with a strong wind.
As early as when the wind came, Chu Hongze sensed that the man in black wanted to do something to himself, and seeing that the sharp palm of the man in black was about to hit his back, Chu Hongze turned to the side, and then avoided the sharp palm that was cut at the same time, and a sweeping leg also struck.
"Originally, I didn't want to pay attention to you, but if you have to do something to this king, don't blame this king for being polite!" Chu Hongze couldn't help frowning, so he jumped up in horror with his hands on the ground with the help of his waist strength, and in mid-air, the strength of his legs whipped towards the man in black.
The fatal punches and kicks were like dense rain on the head of the man in black, and every move Chu Hongze used was deadly fierce, he had always planned to solve the problem quickly, thinking about solving the trouble in front of him quickly.
"This bastard!" The man in black, that is, Qi Lao, dodged an attack from Chu Hongze, and when he fought with him, he didn't forget to secretly scold in his heart, "This bastard boy is really ruthless!" ”
If it weren't for the purpose of concealing his true identity, Qi Lao would not have chosen to fight with Chu Hongze, he was already injured, and he couldn't use weapons, if he used weapons, he would definitely be recognized by Chu Hongze.
There was no way, he had to fight Chu Hongze with his bare hands, and he couldn't use the moves that Chu Hongze was familiar with, otherwise according to his observation, he would soon be able to discover his identity.
After going back and forth, Qi Lao gradually felt strained, but his movements did not become sluggish and slow because of this, and he was still unstoppable.
"Pretty good!" After several battles, Chu Hongze couldn't help but admire, "It's a pity that your opponent this time is this king, even if you are good, you can only be here!" ”
After Chu Hongze finished admiring, his tone suddenly became fierce, and his moves changed from defense at the beginning to frequent attacks.
In the previous confrontation, Chu Hongze was just testing the strength of the other party, and at the same time reducing the voice of the two when they were fighting, but now he was almost tempted by him, and there was nothing to be afraid of at all.
The unreserved attacks came again and again, perhaps because Chu Hongze had unspeakable resentment in his heart, and his attacks forced Qi Lao to retreat again and again.
"It's only been a few times since I fought him, how did it become so unstoppable? That's a lot of progress! Qi Lao was forced to step back step by step, and while blocking Chu Hongze, he lured him to the open terrain.
All I could hear was the sound of the wind coming and going as they fought, and the dull sound of hitting the strong palms together.
In fact, with Qi Lao's ability, it was more than enough to defeat Chu Hongze, but it was a lot more difficult for him to use his own moves, and what he could use was only something he was not familiar with.
However, the master is still a master in the end, and he is still much stronger than the apprentice, and he can use different moves to be equal to Chu Hongze.
Unintentionally continuing to entangle, Qi Lao decided to give Chu Hongze the final blow, they have been fighting here for a long time, and if they continue like this, sooner or later they will be discovered by Mu Zirong's patrol, and then it will be troublesome!
With a chill in his heart, Qi Lao immediately stopped defending and gave the strongest blow to Chu Hongze, Chu Hongze couldn't dodge, and hurriedly subconsciously crossed his hands in front of his chest to reduce the impact of Qi Lao's attack.
Even so, he was still blown back several steps backwards by the overwhelming internal force before he could stand firm, the wind was so strong that for a while, it was difficult for him to open his eyes.
When the wind gradually subsided and disappeared, Chu Hongze opened his eyes, and at this time, the figure of the man in black was already missing in front of him.
"Strange." Chu Hongze, who calmed down, began to recall the scene when he fought with the man in black, "How do I feel that the more I look at it, the more I feel that he is a little familiar." ”
After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Hongze chose to give up his memories, and at this time, the man in black was gone, and there was no point in catching up, he didn't want to have anything to do with him.
Besides, this fight has wasted a lot of his time, and he should hurry up to find Wen Ruyi!
"Yes, didn't I just go to find Ruyi, why would I waste time here?" A wave of chagrin suddenly surged into Chu Hongze's heart, he took one last look at the place where the man in black disappeared, and then continued to look for Wen Ruyi in the opposite place without hesitation.
The front yard has been searched by him, but Wen Ruyi has not been found, and the next part is the backyard, so it seems that she must be in a house in the backyard.
"Keep your eyes wide open for me, carefully search every corner of the house, this time the master is really angry, if you don't want to be punished, just look for it!" Suddenly, a sound came from the front, accompanied by the sound effect of turning over the cabinet, Chu Hongze was already very familiar with this sound, he didn't want to mention the internal force, and jumped on the roof with a jump, only in this way would he not be discovered, and he had to be more careful.
Chu Hongze looked towards the source of the sound, and sure enough, as he thought, it was a patrol of Mu Zirong who was searching the surrounding houses, and it was very likely that they had just heard the sound of their fight and chased after them.
"You, you, and you, you three go take a look in this room." It should be the captain of this squad who gave the order, and he pointed to the house where Chu Hongze was standing on the roof and ordered.
Chu Hongze hurriedly squatted on one knee to avoid being discovered by this patrol, but he was still a step slow.
"Who?" When Chu Hongze squatted, the anxious action was still noticed by the captain of the team, and he subconsciously roared and walked over, but unfortunately the captain's martial arts are not high, he can only stare on the ground, and no light skills can fly to the roof.
Hearing his words, Chu Hongze hurriedly looked for cover, but the surroundings were too empty, and although the roof could be hidden, it was not a long-term solution after all.
"Quick! Go up and have a look! "In addition, the patrol team is already preparing to come up at this time, and if it continues like this, it is only a matter of time before it is discovered.
"What should I do?" Chu Hongze's heart was a little hesitant, he glanced around with his eyes, and finally stopped at his clothes, there was no way!
