Chapter 260: Qi Lao's perfunctory

However, let her go up and interject or comfort her, she didn't know what to say, after all, Wen Ruyi was very uncomfortable now.

"I still remember that Ze'er promised to go with me to Saibei Jiangnan to ride horses and drink spirits. Now, I don't know which traitor I was killed by and ended up like this, but how is it good to be a teacher......" After saying this, Qi Lao really seemed to be quite nostalgic, he looked up and didn't know what to think, and there seemed to be a trace of tears in his eyes, as if he really saw the scene of the two of them riding horses together.

And Wen Ruyi has been hearing this on the side, and he feels a little guilty.

After all, in her opinion, it was she who didn't take good care of Chu Hongze, so she let him end up like this, so that he couldn't be as vigorous as before.

"My good apprentice, when you wake up, the master must take you to taste the flavors of this world, so that you can be a chic prince, and don't be bound by this......"

When Qi Lao said this and was about to continue, Wen Ruyi seemed to be unable to listen to it.

Or it was only after listening to Qi Lao's words that she remembered that Chu Hongze was now terminally ill, so she simply interrupted Qi Lao directly, and said her thoughts to Qi Lao in a very eager tone, "Master, I think the prince's illness can't be delayed any longer, you can think of a way!" ”

Qi Lao immediately pretended to be very helpless, "Hey, I don't have any other way now, after all, I have tried my best to win this short three days, I really can't do anything......

Listening to Qi Lao's words, Wen Ruyi couldn't help but purse her lips, in fact, she didn't know that this was indeed very difficult for ordinary people to do, after all, Mu Zirong was not such an easy person to deal with, but she really couldn't bear to see Chu Hongze look like this.

"But...... Master, is there really no other way for us now? I really don't want to see the prince look so painful now, you look at his dying appearance, how can he survive until the day after tomorrow? I'm afraid he'......"

Wen Ruyi eagerly urged Qi Lao, but how could Qi Lao think of any good way for her, after all, all this was discussed with Mu Zirong, and if she agreed, she agreed, and it was impossible to change it, and it was easy to make Mu Zirong suspicious.

"Yes...... Even if you say so, I still can't do anything, all this can only depend on Ze'er's own creation, if he can survive until the day after tomorrow, then everything will be easy to say. Qi Lao pretended to be perfunctory, however, Wen Ruyi was too eager to hear the perfunctory tone in Qi Lao's tone at all.

Therefore, when she heard this, she could only continue to sit next to Chu Hongze in a decadent manner, wiping the blood spilling from the corners of her mouth and the sweat on her forehead for him, her face was full of distress.

In this way, the two days passed quickly, and the agreed three days were soon reached.

Mu Zirong sent someone to ask Qi Lao in advance when it would be good, and after thinking about it, Qi Lao told him that he would see him in the grove at night.

Mu Zirong smiled with satisfaction after getting the news, as if everything was being planned for him.

"Master, when will we be able to see Mu Zirong? How can I get the beads? Wen Ruyi saw that the day of the appointment had finally arrived, and asked Qi Lao over and over again.

"Ruyi girl, this is the eighth time you have asked me in one day......" Qi Lao's tone sounded very helpless.

"Well, I can't help it, but why do I have to wait until the evening? I think it's better not to drag down the prince's illness as much as possible, can't we meet earlier? ”

Qi Lao listened to Wen Ruyi's words, stroked his beard and thought.

"Hey, there's no way around it, Mu Zirong finally agreed to this matter this time, and the man said that we can only go at night at night......"

"But ......"

"Oh, don't be a wishful girl, now there is no hour left until dark, just wait patiently, who is not anxious about Ze'er's condition? I'm Ze'er's master, and I naturally can't bear to watch him suffer, it's time soon, let's wait! Seeing that Wen Ruyi was still hesitating to say something, Qi Lao hurriedly stopped her.

After hearing Qi Lao's words, Wen Ruyi closed her mouth, but her eyes became deeper and deeper.

After looking at the sky outside, it was indeed not early, and it would soon be the appointed time, so Wen Ruyi decided to wait patiently for a while.

Besides, maybe this matter is also afraid that outsiders will know, if more people know about it, it may not have a good impact on both sides, so they will choose to be at night, or in the woods outside the city, so that it will be more hidden and will not be discovered, especially Chu Hongchen, who knows if the poison on Chu Hongze's body is from him, after all, they are now the biggest competitors, and the prince has always been ruthless.

"Master, why don't we set off now, after all, it will take a while for this Rui Wangfu to rush out of the city, not to mention that it is still in the grove, according to our speed, it is basically almost the same to get there, after all, we can't bring anyone else, only the two of us take the prince with us."

Listening to Wen Ruyi's calm words, Qi Lao nodded, feeling that it was indeed like this, after all, they set off now, and it was basically the agreed time when they got there.

If Mu Zirong waits too long, it will not be good, and if he doesn't give the beads to himself as agreed, won't he lose more than he gains?

So, Qi Lao hurriedly agreed, "Okay, then let's go now." ”

Wen Ruyi glanced at Chu Hongze worriedly, and immediately asked someone to get the carriage ready, and then handed Chu Hongze to Qi Lao.

In this way, the three of them drove the carriage towards the agreed grove outside the city, and when they were about to approach the grove, Wen Ruyi couldn't help frowning, because she seemed to hear some strange sounds.

"Master, have you heard any strange sounds? I thought I heard the hoofs of horses and the neighing of horses, as if there was a small army......"

"Oh, you must be thinking too much, and there haven't been any major incidents recently, how can there be officers and soldiers! Let's hurry up, otherwise Mu Zirong will arrive first in a while, and we will be in a hurry. Qi Lao's mind was now full of thinking about his own affairs, and seeing that he was about to get the beads, he didn't notice any sound at all, so he was perfunctory.

Seeing that Qi Lao said this, Wen Ruyi didn't say anything more, but she felt that the sound of horses' hooves was getting louder and louder, and in the end, it was actually a person like Qi Lao who didn't care and heard the sound of horses' hooves.

But they didn't say anything, because Mu Zirong was in the direction they were heading, after all, they had already come here, so they couldn't go back.

Mu Zirong was also very excited to march towards the agreed woods, because he thought that he was about to see the woman he had been thinking about day and night, and he would be able to get her immediately, just thinking about it made him feel extremely excited, because as long as tonight, Wen Ruyi no longer belonged to Chu Hongze, but belonged to him Mu Zirong, and he had nothing to do with Chu Hongze, and he would not let Chu Hongze snatch it again.

And there was another thing on his mind, but it was self-evident what it was.

Just now, the sound of the gradually marching horse's hooves that Wen Ruyi and Qi Lao heard was also arranged by Mu Zirong, because this time Mu Zirong brought an elite army, so naturally there would be people on horseback, and naturally Qi Lao and Wen Ruyi could hear the sound of horses' hooves and the neighing of horses.

However, they are obviously well-trained on weekdays, and the sound of horses' hooves is well controlled, so that no one except Wen Ruyi and Qi Lao can hear them at all, and because of this, they are not suspected.

However, it was also because there were fewer people on this side of the woods at night, so no one noticed what was going on here, and why there was such a monstrous noise.

So, Wen Ruyi and Qi Lao took Chu Hongze, plus Mu Zirong led his elite troops, and the two teams of men and horses marched from opposite directions in the woods to the middle, and finally met.

"Ruyi!" Mu Zirong was the first to see Wen Ruyi, and couldn't help but open his mouth excitedly.

However, Wen Ruyi frowned tightly, not knowing what to say, because she guessed what Mu Zirong's reaction would be this time, but she didn't come here to see Mu Zirong's reaction, but wanted to get Mu Zirong's beads to save Chu Hongze as soon as possible.

She originally wanted to wait for Qi Lao to speak, but Qi Lao looked at Mu Zirong with a deep gaze, and couldn't guess what he was thinking, besides, looking at his appearance, he didn't want to open his mouth for a while.

So, Wen Ruyi took the initiative to speak, "Prince Mu, you are very punctual this time, but I don't know if you will keep your promise?" Now that you're here, give me the beads, I'm ......."

However, this time before she could finish speaking, Qi Lao directly interrupted Wen Ruyi's words, he probably didn't want Wen Ruyi to mention the matter of the beads, for fear that he would reveal the stuff directly if he didn't explain it to Mu Zirong, after all, he was still on Wen Ruyi's side and Chu Hongze, and he couldn't explain this matter for the time being.

Besides, he saw that Mu Zirong was paying attention to the army behind him, and those people looked like they were good at fighting, and they didn't know what they brought this time for.

So, he wanted to ask Mu Zirong what he thought, but he didn't know what wishful thinking he was thinking about.
