Mu Zirong saw that it was Qi Lao who helped solve the situation, and he only felt a little surprised in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he also remembered that because he was disturbed by the prince that day, he had not yet heard Wen Ruyi's whereabouts, but he saw that Qi Lao wanted to speak at that time, Mu Zirong couldn't help but think silently in his heart, when the banquet was over, he must go to Qi Lao to ask about the situation.

At the same time, Qi Lao on the other side was also thinking about how to get close to Mu Zirong so that he could talk to him about some things.

It wasn't until the evening that the banquet was finally over, and everyone felt very relaxed, some of them walked together to discuss the interesting things that happened at the banquet just now, some recalled a certain palace maid who had just performed the show, and even some stretched their waists and planned to go to the imperial garden for a walk after getting the emperor's permission.

Of course, there were also a few road idiots among the envoys of other countries.

Last time, I asked Qi Lao to lead them back to the palace, but this time I didn't remember the way, claiming that I still needed someone to take them.

However, this is also understandable, after all, the palace of Longteng Kingdom covers a large area, and the palace roads are all tall brick walls, which are full of twists and turns, and they are very crowded.

"Old Qi, I'm really sorry, I'm going to trouble you again this time." Envoys from a few countries came over and asked Qi Lao to send him back to the residence arranged for him.

Qi Lao didn't answer his words immediately, but touched his beard and fell into contemplation, he had always wanted to talk to Mu Zirong, but he was busy all night, and there was no chance, if he didn't catch up now, I am afraid there would be no more chance.

"Hey, I'm really sorry, I have some other things to attend to tonight, and I'll ask someone to take you back to your accommodation."

The envoy scratched his head, but agreed.

After that, Qi Lao refused all affairs as concocted and handed them over to others to deal with, leaving all affairs aside in this way.

When he entrusted all the affairs to others and took care of everything that should be handled, he stood outside the door of the main hall where the banquet was held and waited for Mu Zirong.

He glanced at it and happened to see Mu Zirong who was going back to his residence after the banquet, so he hurriedly flew to chase after him.

Although Qi Lao hid the secret of his body and followed Mu Zirong, he didn't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that Mu Zirong had discovered that he was following, because Mu Zirong seemed to have deliberately slowed down his pace, to be precise, the pace was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes he was concentrating on moving forward, and sometimes he was looking left and right, not knowing whether he was observing or enjoying the scenery.

Later, Qi Lao simply didn't care much about it, and began to follow him secretly, secretly thinking about his plan, that is, what he was going to say to Mu Zirong for a while.

Last time, I and Mu Zirong sold Guanzi, but I didn't expect to be intervened by Chu Hongchen, it was really a mistake, and I didn't say what I wanted to say.

However, he can also hang Mu Zirong's appetite and let him think about his own affairs, which is also one of the reasons why Qi Lao Ming felt that Chu Hongchen was very annoying last time, but left without saying anything, and he had already tested Wen Ruyi's position in Mu Zirong's heart last time, and he was sure that this matter would definitely impress Mu Zirong.

As for Wen Ruyi's current real situation, he also learned an idea from his scheming apprentice, and it will be much easier to use it when the time comes.

Everything is ready, even if the things he thinks are not very useful, but the probability of success in this matter is ninety percent, because Qi Lao trusts his intuition very much, he feels that this thing can be successful, and the probability of success must not be ordinary.

Just when Qi Lao was thinking about it, Mu Zirong turned a corner and entered a courtyard—it was his own residence in the palace.

Qi Lao glanced at it, took a deep breath, and after making sure that he also stepped in, this time he did not continue to hide his figure, but fell directly from the sky and landed in style.

In this way, he could be regarded as directly appearing to face to face with Mu Zirong, but the expected surprised expression did not appear on Mu Zirong's face, he had obviously already discovered that Qi Lao was following him behind, and he was still waiting for him to take the initiative to appear.

Mu Zirong sat there and poured a cup of tea for both of them, looking a little surprised, as if he had already guessed that he would come, and his expression was not flustered.

Qi Lao's eyes froze, knowing that Mu Zirong was not a character to mess with, maybe he had already guessed that he would come to him, and he deliberately slowed down just now just to test himself.

"Did Prince Mu already guess that I would come here?" Qi Lao squinted at him, and asked tentatively with his beard stroked.

Mu Zirong was very calm, but the words he said had a hint of inexplicable flavor that made Qi Lao feel inexplicable, "I'm sorry, originally I was just guessing, just say it directly." ”

These words couldn't help but make the corners of Qi Lao's mouth twitch slightly, a little like a punch on the cotton, it seems that this Mu Zirong is indeed not a role to deal with with financing, it seems that he is not wrong.

However, he quickly returned to normal, after all, he came for serious things, hit on the cotton, hit on the cotton, it didn't hurt, it was still important to get down to business.

"Prince Mu, aren't you curious about Wen Ruyi now?"

Mu Zirong listened to Qi Lao's words, and raised his eyebrows in confusion, "If Qi Lao really wanted to tell me, he should have said it a long time ago, didn't he?" I took the initiative to ask last time, but it was Qi Lao that you didn't say it because you kept selling it. ”

Qi Lao nodded appreciatively, it seems that this Mu Zirong is really not a fool, not a character who can be manipulated at will.

"Then I can only blame the prince of Longteng Kingdom for suddenly appearing last time, which disrupted what I originally wanted to say to Prince Mu, and now I just want to see if Prince Mu is so curious about this matter." Although Qi Lao already had a definite answer in his heart, this Mu Zirong must have cared about Wen Ruyi very much, but he just didn't show it.

Or rather...... It was he who had unconsciously revealed it, but he thought he hadn't found it, but in fact, he was a little confused in his heart, because he didn't know whether Mu Zirong's attitude was now whether he cared or not.

But it doesn't matter, even if he doesn't care, his main purpose today is not for these things, but mainly to implement his plan.

Moreover, just looking at Mu Zirong's original attempt to marry Wen Ruyi, it is inevitable that he will not violate the world's greatness, and he knows that Wen Ruyi must be very important to him.

"Oh? It's actually for this matter, so old Qi, guess it, do I care about this matter? Mu Zirong looked a little happy and asked rhetorically, the gaze in his eyes was changing, making it impossible to see what he was thinking in his heart.

Qi Lao stroked his beard leisurely, as if he was thinking about something, and he was not in a hurry when he saw him like this, "Actually, there is nothing to do, I just came to see if Prince Mu is okay recently, and whether you are curious about this matter, if Prince Mu doesn't want to know, then the old man will not have much to do." ”

Although Qi Lao said so, there was a glint in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had something else to say.

"I think...... It's not just that, I'm afraid you have something else to say when you come today, Old Qi. Mu Zirong had already seen everything in his eyes, and knew that Qi Lao must have something to say, so he would come to him.

When Qi Lao heard Mu Zirong's words, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, this Mu Zirong was really not a vegetarian, but he was very clever, and he was able to guess his thoughts.

In the end, Qi Lao hesitated for a moment and still said the true thoughts in his heart, after all, lying with smart people can only show your stupidity, "Prince Mu, I won't hide it from you, in fact, the old man came to cooperate with you this time, and I told you before that I know Wen Ruyi's whereabouts, it is because of this matter, if we can work together, I will definitely try my best to help with the things that Prince Mu cares about." ”

Mu Zirong was very surprised when he heard Qi Lao's words, he couldn't have imagined that Qi Lao would actually take the initiative to cooperate with him, and also help him get Wen Ruyi.

However, how could Qi Lao suddenly be so kind? Not only had he seen him and Chu Hongze together before, but he had even found someone to investigate, this person was obviously Chu Hongze's mysterious master, how could he help him get the woman that his apprentice liked?

It was precisely because of this that Mu Zirong felt that Qi Lao's words were very unbelievable, and even a little incredible, which made him even more confused and suspicious in his heart.

As a result, his eyes became more and more cold, and he asked Qi Lao without hesitation: "What is your purpose?" ”

After saying this, Mu Zirong also swept his sharp eyes on Qi Lao's body, as if he wanted to see through this person.

But Qi Lao seemed a little indifferent, let Mu Zirong look at him, and still looked at him calmly, "Prince Mu, I must have said it very clearly just now, and what other purpose can I have, is this good for me?" ”

After speaking, he seemed to look at Mu Zirong a little strangely, as if he really didn't know what Mu Zirong was talking about.

When Mu Zirong saw Qi Lao's appearance, he couldn't help but snort coldly, looking like he didn't believe it at all, "Well, it's really no good for me, but it's not harmful, isn't it?" ”

"Prince Mu, if you want me to say, you are really stubborn, I cooperate with you and don't want you to do anything, why do you doubt me again and again?" Qi Lao looked really helpless, and he really looked like he was thinking about Mu Zirong.

"Can't I suspect a man with bad intentions?" Mu Zirong asked indifferently, more and more suspicious that Qi Lao must have some ulterior secrets.
