In Prince Xunyang's Mansion and Study Room, a long silence passed.

"I am truly ashamed of the Wang family, mother and son, and the people of Xunyang."

Li Xian was silent for a long time and opened his mouth with dry lips.

Ouyang Rong shook his head:

"The reason why I didn't stop the prince from submitting a letter that day was because of his words."

"What are you talking about?" the Prince of Zhou couldn't help but ask.

"If I don't write a letter and talk about it, I won't feel at ease."

Li Xian looked at him blankly.

Ouyang Rong looked calm and spoke:

"The prince also said at that time that he somewhat understood why I insisted on standing up to oppose it in the first place, even though Lin Cheng represents His Majesty's will, which is just a drop of a feather to shake the tree."

Ouyang Rong nodded and said:

"So I understand, Your Majesty.

"So even if I sense some risks, I will only advise but not stop the prince or you.

"So I also know that you, Prince and Dalang, have tried your best.

"At least if you ask yourself, you have a clear conscience."

Li Guo'er and Xie Lingjiang looked at the handsome young man with a serious expression in some trance.

Li Xian and Li Dalang looked at each other.

Li Dalang's tone was choked with sobs: "Tan Lang..."

Li Xian took a deep breath and asked:

"What about Tanlang? Tanlang was so calm at that time. I thought that Tanlang was disheartened after what happened last time. He thought that Tanlang was also disappointed with us and felt that we did not abide by the original policy of not allowing salary recipients to

The promise of freezing the wind and snow.

"In the past few days since Tanlang didn't come, I have been very afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid I'll never see that Tanlang who drinks ice to cool his blood and earns a living for the people."

Ouyang Rong slowly shook his head and said:

"The prince and Dalang did not let me freeze to death in the snow. They intercepted the memorial that day, so they saved me.

"Although I don't say thank you, I remember it in my heart."

Without waiting for everyone with moved expressions to speak, he answered seriously:

"Your Majesty, Dalang, I calmly dissuaded you that day because one of us must stay awake at all times. Just like drinking together and returning drunk, one or two people must be sober and calm, so as not to get drunk.

Wrong way.

"Last time it was the prince, Dalang and you guys who were awake and watching. This time I have to do it."

Li Guoer suddenly asked: "Ouyang Lianghan, so you are not as unconcerned about the Wang family's affairs this time as you show?"

Ouyang Rong didn't answer, his face still had the same calm expression he had always had since he was demoted to Sima, and he pursed his lips tightly.

Soon, it was back to business again.

"Elder brother, prince, sister Guo'er, what do you say..."

Xie Lingjiang suddenly spoke.

"Is it possible that what happened to the Wang family this time was a trap set up by Lin Cheng and the Wei family, just to wait for the senior brother to come down and take the bait? However, the abacus was good, but I didn't expect to encounter someone who was motionless and calm.

Right senior brother."

Everyone fell into thinking.

Li Guo'er said thoughtfully:

"Sister Xie means that the old lady of the Wang family and the third son Wang Yu were led here? It's not an accident. Is there something fishy in it?"

Wei Mei also asked: "It is also possible that the people behind this are not Lin Cheng and Wei, but the Kuangfu Army rebels."

Everyone frowned when they heard this.

"I don't quite agree with these speculations, at least I don't agree that Mrs. Wang and Wang Yu are subjective."

Ouyang Rong shook his head and said:

"Maybe they were used, maybe they were guided, but no matter what the hidden meaning is, it still can't change the respect we should have for them.

"Those two balls of fire cannot be faked."

There was silence in the study for a while, and then we got back to business.

Li Guoer frowned and said:

"Looking at it now, even triggering the Wang family tragedy could not get my grandmother to fire Lin Cheng. It can be seen that the giant Buddha being built in Xingzifang has become Lin Cheng's gold medal to avoid death.

"This son made the golden body of the Buddha for his grandmother. In turn, he also has a golden body. How to break it now?"

Everyone fell into silence, their hopeful eyes more or less turned to Ouyang Rong.

Ouyang Rong was speechless for a long time.

After a while, he stood up and strode away under the eyes of everyone.

Not stumped.

But it's too noisy.

…

Ouyang Rong recently found himself in a very strange state.

The time probably started when he refused to obey the imperial edict in full view of Xunyangdu.

From time to time, he could hear the faint sounds of swords coming from the distance.

This sound is like the tireless chirping of cicadas in summer.

To describe it, it is the kind of buzzing sound that keeps flapping thin wings in people's ears, but it is not dull, and the tone is a bit sharp.

The sound of the sword is sometimes loud and sometimes quiet.

It depends on the situation.

Like just now in the study room of Prince Xunyang's Mansion, surrounded by worried people, Ouyang Rong felt as if there were ten thousand summer cicadas chirping in his ears...

Ouyang Rong initially wondered whether it was the sequelae of Qi refining caused by the third of the Six-Winged Xia Chan's Mortal Transformation Pill that he had swallowed.

But this possibility was quickly ruled out. Why did it suddenly happen when it didn't happen before? I haven't done much recently, and my cultivation progress has been stuck at the eighth level.

And the reason why it is now confirmed to be a sword cry...

Dark clouds covered the moon, Ouyang Rong opened the door and walked into the master bedroom.

At first glance, he saw a curly figure lying on the bed, hugging his knees in a daze. His silver hair was scattered on the scarlet bedsheets, like white silk spun by spring silkworms.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" he asked in an unexpected tone.

"My slave got up at night to urinate. Tan Lang is not here. Come back and lie down... I can't fall asleep." She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and came up to him.

"I have something to do when I go out at night..." Ouyang Rong waved his hand.

"Slave knows."

Ye Weilai took the initiative to interrupt. She stood up, gave his thin cheek a quick peck, turned around and trotted back, muttering "I'm sleepy", huddled under the quilt, and obediently closed her eyes so as not to disturb him.

"Did you hear it?"

Ouyang Rong took off his coat and asked suddenly.

Ye Weilai opened her blue eyes with confusion: "Ah, what did you hear? Did Tan Lang just say something?"

"never mind."

Ouyang Rong was silent for a while and shook his head.

After putting the little girl to sleep.

He turned back to the closet and opened the door.

A figure of a little girl in Confucian attire was sitting on a long piano box that was kept high in the cabinet, holding her chin in both hands, swinging her short legs slightly, feeling drowsy.

"Why are you a night owl?"

Ouyang Rongqi asked, but his eyes looked at the piano case under her butt.

"Waiting for someone."

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Who did you say you were waiting for!"
