Wen Ruyi originally thought that Mu Zirong would refuse, but he didn't expect him to really come.

Watching Mu Zirong walk in step by step, Wen Ruyi also stood up from the position just now, no matter what position she was in, she always kept vigilant against Mu Zirong, because she would never believe him.

When Mu Zirong came over, he saw Wen Ruyi's vigilant look, he couldn't help frowning, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, "Miss Wen, you are afraid of me, did I do something?" ”

Mu Zirong walked over step by step, originally wanting to get close to Wen Ruyi, but when he saw her appearance, he didn't get close in the end, and only stood only four or five steps away from her, but there was a faint sadness in his heart.

"What Prince Mu did, you must know it in your own heart." Although Wen Ruyi no longer retreated, her attitude was still very indifferent.

After hearing this, Mu Zirong seemed to think of something, and only pursed his lips slightly, but still did not speak.

"Is there anything you want me to do?" Mu Zirong hesitated for a moment, but still planned to change the topic and stop talking about these things that bothered him.

Wen Ruyi didn't say anything else, and got straight to the point with his question, "Chu Hongze, I want to know his news, I want you to tell me an answer clearly, did you send her out." Wen Ruyi looked into his eyes and said this sentence word by word, from beginning to end, she never believed him.

Mu Zirong's eyes flickered slightly, and then he sighed deeply, "Miss Wen, I have already told you, I will do what I say, don't worry, I have already let him go, and didn't you see him leave the prince's mansion with your own eyes at that time, and the person I sent has already said that King Rui should have returned to China." ”

Hearing this news, Wen Ruyi finally had a little reaction, "You mean it really?" Although he felt that Mu Zirong should not lie to himself, he was still a little suspicious, who knew if what he said was true or false, and she had no way to confirm it.

"Really, although I can't prove it to you, I can promise you that he will be released, but in the same way, you should be able to give me the spirit bead in your hand." Mu Zirong came here mainly for this matter, after all, this is something that the two of them have agreed on a long time ago.

After Wen Ruyi understood what he meant, he had some prevarication, "How can you guarantee that what you say must be true, unless you take me to a place?" "She had to see it with her own eyes, and only after seeing it with her own eyes could she feel a little more at ease.

Mu Zirong's eyes flickered slightly, a little dark, but he still asked her patiently, "Where are you going?" ”

Wen Ruyi said that she almost found Chu Hongze's location last time, and she wanted to take a look again to confirm it.

Mu Zirong raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little confused, but he didn't refuse, "Okay, I'll take you over!" As he spoke, he took Wen Ruyi to the houses she had seen before.

Wen Ruyi hurriedly pushed open the door and looked for several places, and after pushing all the doors, she didn't find the figure of that person, although she was still not sure in her heart, but she actually had a little trust in his words.

"How about it, Miss Wen, now you can give me the spirit beads, right?" Mu Zirong's tone at this time had become serious, it could be seen that he still valued this bead very much, and now that his promise had been fulfilled, it was impossible for Wen Ruyi to really be treacherous to him.

Thinking of this, she took out the bead she had been carrying, perhaps he would never have guessed that the bead he cared about had always been on hers.

"I didn't expect you to value it so much and keep it with you?" Mu Zirong didn't know what she thought, and suddenly smiled, remembering that Wen Ruyi seemed to have said that this spirit bead was not on her body at all.

Wen Ruyi smiled, but didn't speak, just handed him the beads, but he didn't just accept it after he got it, but called a gray-haired old man.

As if seeing her puzzled look, Mu Zirong explained with a faint smile at her: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal, it's just to verify the authenticity of this bead." ”

When Wen Ruyi heard him say this, she also knew that he had been looking at her face, but in the end, she didn't say anything, just nodded.

During this time, the old man had been studying the authenticity of the bead.

I don't know how long it took before the old man nodded and handed the beads back to Mu Zirong: "It's confirmed, it's true." ”

"If it's okay, I can go first." Wen Ruyi also spoke at this time.

Of course, Mu Zirong didn't have anything to say, nodded and left.

……

Although the crown prince Chu Hongchen has not gone to see Mu Zirong in the past few days, he is clear about his movements.

He was drinking tea that day, and a spy sent a message, saying that Chu Hongze had been out of the customs, and the angry Chu Hongchen waved his arm and directly swept the tea on the table to the ground, and the ground suddenly crackled and shattered.

The woman waiting on the side shrank up in fright, cowering with a sense of petty family that was not on the stage, it was a stand-in that Chu Hongchen specially asked people to find.

Because Chu Hongchen has nowhere to go, he lives in Mu Zirong's mansion, and all the food and clothing are not as good as when he was in the palace before, and even the maids who were waiting were reduced to one.

At this time, seeing the look of the stand-in retreating timidly, he didn't even dare to come up to clean up the mess, Chu Hongchen, who was already angry, was even more irritable, the two faces looked so similar, how could she be Wen Ruyi is heroic and decisive, extremely intelligent, and even caused him a lot of trouble, becoming a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh, and the woman he was looking for was obscene and timid, like a fool.

The more the prince Chu Hongchen thought about it, the more angry he felt, and he couldn't help but roar angrily, "Get out!" ”

A teacup "bang" shattered beside the woman, the woman trembled and ran out of the house, back to her own house, she was a hard-working ordinary woman, suddenly one day, a handsome man wanted to find her to do things, good food and clothing for her, and did some work that did not require effort, so the daze came.

But she is very afraid of her master, he always has a calm face, his mood is uncertain, capricious, several times, before going out, he comes back with a strange complexion, that is, he closes the door and smashes the furniture and tea cups in the house at will.

The woman doesn't know what the master wants her to do, but after all, the master is by no means an ordinary person, she just listens honestly to what she is told to do, but sometimes the master looks at her face and shows a gritted tooth, she really thinks that the master is going to kill her.

At night, with no fingers in sight, the woman was pulled up in the dark, and before she knew what had happened, she had already been arranged to hurry.

A team of people went out of the city overnight from the residence where the prince Chu Hongchen was, and when the city gate guard asked, the people under the prince Chu Hongchen took out the token secretly copied from Mu Zirong and said that they were out of the city to catch people, and asked Chu Hongze when he left the city, and asked a lot of questions.

Knowing that Chu Hongze had only been away for a day, this team of people and horses accelerated their pace to hurry, no matter what, they had to set up an ambush before Chu Hongze returned to China, asking him to come and go and end up in this place. The crown prince Chu Hongchen had already arranged for a few people to follow Chu Hongze in the dark, and this time he only needed to follow the marks they left along the way to catch up with him.

As an important pawn in this assassination mission, the stand-in was carried on horseback, and it was also a bumpy chase.

The secret guards close to Prince Chu Hongchen have already explained to her that they will do whatever they tell her to do this time, and don't make any extraneous branches.

After a day and a night of traveling, the assassination team finally met with their own people at a small post station. Unfortunately, the results were disappointing. Lose someone!

That day, when Chu Hongze learned that Wen Ruyi had exchanged his life for his life, he impulsively wanted to go back to save Wen Ruyi, but his master stopped him, and Master Chu Hongze keenly discovered the secret guard sent by the prince Chu Hongchen to follow, and took Chu Hongze to turn left and right a few ways to get rid of those followers.

At this time, the secret guard and the killer who came to meet him were secretly lurking, and privately inquired about the whereabouts of Chu Hongze and his master.

On weekdays, the secret guard pretends to be an ordinary person, drinks tea in the teahouse, asks the shopkeeper in the hotel, and even sits in the stall selling breakfast all morning.

After a few days to no avail, the pair prepared to speed up their pace and wait at the last post station on Chu Hongze's way back.

The reason why Chu Hongze didn't appear in the city these days is because Chu Hongze thinks that sooner or later there will be a battle between himself and the crown prince Chu Hongchen, and if there is really such a day, then he should prepare in advance.

And Wen Ruyi is still there with Mu Zirong, if he really can't save it, it will inevitably be a battle with Mu Zirong, so he and his master have carefully surveyed the terrain of this checkpoint in the past few days, as well as the situation of the troops, the situation of defending the city and the stability of the people, after all, the two countries are at war, and the people are innocent.

At the end of the last day of investigation, Chu Hongze and his master casually found a post station to rest, thinking that they would continue to travel tomorrow.

There are very few people at the post station, only the two men at the window table, and Master Chu Hongze also deliberately glanced at the two men, who were ordinary, drinking and scolding.

The shopkeeper was very courteous to welcome them into the house and live in the room, and said that there were exactly two upper rooms left, but Master Chu Hongze refused, and one was enough.

Chu Hongze just wanted to say, when he went out, the master has been lucky these days, how can he be squeezed into a room with him to suffer if he should have a good night's sleep. But when I saw the master's vigilant eyes, it became clear that safety was still important.
