Chapter 193: Messing into a pot of porridge
At the moment when Wen Ruyi closed his eyes, the vinegar jar that Chu Hongze had suppressed by him still turned over, as if he could even smell the rich sour smell in the air, he paced back and forth in the room irritably, and Wen Ruyi didn't say a word to him from beginning to end.
Obviously, it is impossible for Wen Ruyi to give up the beads, seeing that she and Mu Zirong have married and come to this crucial step, she is almost able to get her beads back.
With such a good opportunity, how could Wen Ruyi give up and leave with Chu Hongze? Otherwise, wouldn't everything she had done before be completely meaningless?
She didn't speak, Chu Hongze didn't speak, and for a while, the atmosphere in the room was tense to the extreme.
……
On the other side, Qi Lao, the black-clothed man who used a move to repel Chu Hongze, ran all the way desperately, and finally got rid of Chu Hongze and the people chasing him, he stopped and looked back, and didn't see Chu Hongze and the others again, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "This apprentice, what are you chasing your master for?" ”
Qi Lao couldn't help but count Chu Hongze in his heart, but he forgot that he clearly covered his face when he fought with him, who could tell who was who? Obviously, he didn't want Chu Hongze to see through his identity.
Chu Hongze obviously regarded him as a suspicious character, not to mention that he was dressed in black in broad daylight, and the most important thing was that his face was also covered, what else could he be if he was not a suspicious character?
Qi Lao found a hidden corner and sat cross-legged, gently lifted his collar and looked down, only to see a red, palm-like mark on his chest.
It hadn't come before, Qi Lao thought about it for a while and understood that this was left by Chu Hongze for him.
Thinking like this, he felt that his chest hurt even more, "Hey, don't save face for your master at all?" I know that if you start to die, it is true that the teacher taught you so, but I don't want you to kill the master! ”
The angry Qi Lao raised his hand and touched the red mark, and gently poked it with his finger, as he expected, as long as he touched it, there was a hot pain there.
"Boom!" Spit on the ground, Qi Lao held back the pain, and raised the index finger and middle finger of his right hand to touch the red marks, and after making sure that he didn't hurt the bones, he reached into his pocket and took out a porcelain bottle.
The palm-sized porcelain bottle was plugged by a red wooden stopper, Qi Lao pulled the cork, knocked the porcelain bottle to his left hand, and suddenly, a round and black pill slipped out of it.
He crushed the pill with his fingertips, twisted it into a fine powder, and pointed it at the red mark on his chest.
The moment the pill powder was attached to the skin and flesh, the hot feeling was instantly replaced by a refreshing coldness, Qi Lao sighed, gently rubbed his chest, and luck accelerated the absorption of the medicine powder by the skin and meat.
"Alas, if it weren't for the old man's habit of carrying medicine with him, I'm afraid the injuries in his body would be more serious at this time." With a wry smile, Qi Lao poured out another pill and swallowed it in his mouth.
He was already injured before fighting with Chu Hongze, and he was out of breath because of the chase with the guards of the Prince's Mansion who chased him, and now he is fighting with his apprentice with his bare hands, every time he fights, his apprentice is dead, even if he is an iron man, he can't resist!
After swallowing the pill and smearing the powder, Qi Lao meditated in this corner for a while, although he could not completely heal the internal injuries, at least he could recover some strength.
If you encounter the pursuers again, you will have enough strength to escape farther and escape from the entire prince's mansion.
Thinking of the Prince's Mansion, Qi Lao couldn't help but have a headache, you said that this Mu Zirong is too, it's okay to build his mansion so big, not to mention that he has laid so many hidden weapons, and he has made it so exaggerated, it's not that he can't stop him.
Qi Lao continued on the road after breathing, and when he came out of the corner where he was hiding, he found that there was another layer of guards in the mansion, "My God, how many guards does this Mu Zirong have raised privately?" Didn't he notice it? is not afraid of being overthrown by his own son one day, it seems that this emperor is quite relieved of Mu Zirong. ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and then laughed, "It seems that I am not qualified to say Mu Zirong, but my disciple has made no less preparations than him." ”
After thinking about it, Qi Lao didn't think it was an exaggeration to have many guards in Mu Zirong's mansion, but it was definitely a very troublesome thing, at least for him.
"Alas, no matter how troublesome it is, you have to run." After sighing, Qi Lao re-embarked on the journey of escaping the prince's mansion.
The more guards there are, not only is it a problem to align the elders, but it is also a tricky problem for the guests who remain in the hall.
"What the hell do you think this is going on?" The guests who had seats near the door happened to see that the number of guards walking outside had increased again, and they couldn't help but sigh with the people around them.
The person next to him has a big heart, and he can still eat the delicious food on the table without changing his face, looking heartless, "What are you doing with so much?" Anyway, it won't threaten us, didn't Prince Mu say it, just wait here with peace of mind, eat and eat. ”
Then, he grabbed a few more mouthfuls of food, and because he was in such a hurry that he looked very funny that he was choking.
The guests sitting next to him couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard this, "Eat, eat, you know how to eat, have you forgotten what our majesty wants us to do?" We are here to congratulate Mu Zirong, but what do you think he did to us? He didn't take us envoys seriously at all, and he must talk to His Majesty when I go back. ”
But rolling his eyes and rolling his eyes, complaining will complain, the guest still handed him a glass of water, and the patronizing guest took the cup and drank the water, and finally swallowed all the food in his mouth, "Hey, no matter what he does to us, let's go back and report it truthfully?" Other things are judged by His Majesty, why do we bother so much? ”
The conversation between the two was very quiet, and no one heard their conversation except for a few people around them.
When I heard it, I felt disagreed with their chat, but it was undeniable that Mu Zirong's current approach made most of the guests feel dissatisfied, mainly because their personal freedom was restricted.
At this point, if they can be allowed to come and go freely, they will not resist, and everyone will not have so many complaints.
But not everyone's temper is as good as that of the messenger who only cares about eating, but more irritability and anger, and no, some people protest loudly after they can't go out and can't leave.
"What about Mu Zirong? Where did he go? Let him come over, I have something to look for him, I want to go back, let me go quickly! "It was a very large man who spoke, and at first glance, people's first impression was that this person was not easy to mess with.
However, the fact is that he is a big man with an empty body, but his courage is smaller than the eye of a needle, and Mu Zirong's blockade behavior made him feel uneasy, especially now that the number of guards guarding them has increased again, but he doesn't know where Mu Zirong who gave the order has gone, which makes him unacceptable.
"Mu Zirong, come out! You have no right to imprison my steps! I am from the country of Silo, not your country, be careful that I go back and tell our majesty that it is too much to dare to treat the envoy of the country of Siro like this! The big man looked around and around, but he still didn't see Mu Zirong, and no one even paid attention to him at all
He was scared and angry for a while, and with a noise in his mouth, he actually left his seat and rushed out of the main hall.
Of course, it was impossible for him to get out successfully, and the guards at the door crossed their spears in front of the envoy of the Xiluo Kingdom, their faces were silent, and their voices were cold, like robots without emotion and emotion, "The prince has already commanded, without the prince's order, no one here is allowed to leave!" ”
The spear glowing with cold light was very sharp at a glance, and the envoy of the Xiluo Kingdom couldn't help but take a step back, but he was still extremely unwilling, "Since we are not allowed to leave here, then you go and find him!" Let him explain to us why he is keeping us here! There must be a reason for this suddenness! ”
He had a series of questions to ask, but the guard at the door stopped talking, with a cold poker face, and the same cold gaze at an unknown spot, ignoring him at all.
This kind of behavior did not intend to make the envoy of Xiluo even more uneasy and irritable, so he incited the others present, "Hey, have you seen it, we are all imprisoned by Mu Zirong, what do you mean, is he not taking us people in his eyes at all?" ”
As soon as his words fell, they set off a storm in the hall, and the already noisy hall suddenly seemed to explode.
"Yes, everyone, aren't we just imprisoned by Mu Zirong, even if he doesn't let us leave here, but he has to give us a reason, how can we say that we are also here to celebrate his wedding, how can he do this?"
"No! Why did he imprison us, did he have so much power? ”
"This prince is treated with courtesy everywhere, and today he was detained here, if it gets out and it becomes a joke, this Mu Zirong is really too much, is he just intentional?"
More and more echoes and crusades sounded, and the envoys of the Kingdom of Ciro succeeded in causing the envoys in the hall to protest en masse, and they became more and more excited, and the noise echoed in the hall one after another, and the sound became louder and louder, until it could be heard even outside the house, and the scene here gradually lost control.
The guards who stayed here didn't dare to really do anything to this group of countries, after all, these people were all noble envoys, if something really happened, Mu Zirong would definitely punish their subordinates.
