Under the attention of everyone, Ouyang Rong was silent for a while, then turned around and opened the door.
He walked out the door,
Standing on the corridor, he looked up at the sky and took out a handkerchief.
In the flower hall, Xie Lingjiang, Li Xian's family, Guo Yu, and Meng Shouguang all looked curious when they saw this.
They saw a handsome young man on the corridor looking up at the sky, looking into the air in front of him, and extending his palm.
In his hand, he held a slightly damp pale pink handkerchief.
The handkerchief fluttered slightly in the night wind.
Ouyang Rong looked at it thoughtfully.
"What is Tanlang doing?"
Li Xian couldn't help but ask first.
Ouyang Rong said without looking back: "I can walk, it's the west wind."
"West Wind?"
"this……"
Everyone was speechless, thanking Ling Jiang, and Li Bao'er and the two girls looked thoughtful.
Meng Shouguang frowned and couldn't help but ask:
"Sir, is there any difference between east wind and west wind?"
Ouyang Rong turned around, looked at Meng Shouguang and Guo Yu who came tonight, and said seriously:
"Can burn Red Cliff."
"..." Meng Shouguang and the others.
Ouyang Rong hesitated for a moment and said seriously to Li Xian and Li Dalang:
"If you want to escape...
"Hongzhou is in the west, so I must have gone west to find Cai Qin in Hongzhou, and then headed south to find Li Zhengyan in Guizhou.
"The water route is the most convenient, the land route suffers, and there are too many blockades on the road. The Xunyang Ferry is in the hands of Jiangzhou Hall. There is no shortage of fast boats, and the pursuing troops must take the water route.
"We must flee westward by boat first. I have the seal of the governor of Jiangzhou, so I can get ahead of the pursuers. With a time lag, I can leave Jiangzhou unimpeded and enter Hongzhou. Then it will be relatively safe."
Ouyang Rong stared at the astonished Li Xian and his son in front of him. After a wave of calm reasoning, he paused and pursed his lips:
"What if the pursuers in Jiangzhou Hall react quickly and follow closely...
"Although the west wind is against the wind, the pursuers are also chasing against the wind. When I raided Liu's house in Longcheng, I came across the formula of Burning Sky Dragon Oil. After I came to Jiangzhou, I prepared some Burning Sky Dragon Oil.
"This dragon oil is insoluble in water and floats on the water. If you ignite the oil, with the help of the west wind, you can burn the pursuing ship, temporarily ward off the pursuing troops, and buy time to escape."
After everyone heard this, they were a little stunned.
Good guy, as soon as everyone was talking about running away, you were already making plans, unlike someone who was hesitant just now.
What's up with this sense of deja vu that you are born to be a rebel?
If you weren't just pretending, you'd definitely be a rebel.
Now that I have a professional counterpart, it is true...
Complaints are complaints.
But at this critical juncture of life and death, when they saw Tanlang standing tall in the corridor, talking about his plans in a leisurely manner, Xie Lingjiang and Li Xian's family felt speechless and... at ease.
It's like finding your backbone again.
Li Dalang asked in a complicated tone:
"When did Tanlang prepare the Burning Sky Dragon Oil?"
"A few days ago, when I was supervising the construction of the Donglin Giant Buddha at the Shuangfeng Peak outside the west gate, I suddenly had a whim and placed it at the new ferry just dug at the Shuangfeng Peak."
Ouyang Rong lowered his head and laughed at himself:
"I originally planned to use it as a back-up to help Jiangzhou Hall to deal with the enemy from Hongzhou at a critical moment, but I didn't expect that it might be used in advance, or... in turn, to deal with former friendly forces."
Everyone's expressions were complicated.
Li Guoer suddenly asked:
"There is a curfew at Xunyang Ferry. You cannot board the ship before the second quarter of the morning. Ouyang Lianghan, do you have a way?"
"The side of Xunyangdu involves military supplies transportation, and Wang Lengran is closely guarding it."
Ouyang Rong shook his head and said calmly:
"Instead of taking the Xunyang Ferry, we will go out of the West City Gate at night and go to the new ferry at Shuangfengjian to get on the boat. There is some boat preparation there. I often go there recently and I have some preparations.
"In addition, the Burning Sky Dragon Oil is also there.
"Shuangfengjian is located in the upper reaches of Xunyangdu. The newly dug tributaries are connected to the Xunyang River. The burning dragon oil is sprinkled and flows down the river. It can temporarily block the Xunyang River and prevent the pursuers of Xunyangdu."
"sharp."
Li Bao'er's eyes lit up, he nodded slightly, and immediately asked:
"Is it safe to go out of the city together? There are many of us. If there are only one or two people, my father and brother, I can make the Xie family sister carry them over the wall. If there are many people, there will be night defense at the top of the city..."
Ouyang Rong immediately said:
"You can go through the west city gate. The guard tonight is a soldier named Chen who happened to be my subordinate. His squad will not change the defense until the second quarter of the morning tomorrow morning. In addition..."
He hesitated for a moment, then silently took out a cold metal token from his sleeve:
"If you encounter a patrolling Zhechong Mansion soldier, you can try this token, just in case it is a soldier under his command..."
Ouyang Rong stopped mid-sentence and said no more.
Except for Guo Yu who came from outside, Meng Shouguang looked confused, Li Bao'er, Xie Lingjiang, Li Xian and others all understood instantly and nodded tacitly.
Especially King Lixian of Xunyang, his expression was bleak.
Unexpectedly, he helped out earlier and made friends with Qin Heng by writing a letter of intercession for the mutinous garrison soldiers.
It can be considered that good deeds and evil deeds are rewarded, so I got help at a possible critical moment tonight.
Li Guo'er's beautiful eyebrows were concentrated, checking for leaks and filling in the gaps, and asked again:
"I heard that there is an iron chain across the river in Jiangzhou Hall between Suojiang Tower and Huilongji..."
"Use burning dragon oil to burn it. The iron cone on the shore has not been lowered in the past few days, so you can cross the river."
Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes and said, "If it doesn't work, you can use your sword."
What he said was ambiguous. When Guo Yu and Meng Shouguang heard this, they thought it was Xie Lingjiang, a Confucian translator, who used his sword to break the chain, which was not a surprise.
However, Li Guo'er, Li Xian, Li Dalang and others nodded calmly.
Xie Ling Jiang Huai held an ordinary piano case and nodded to his senior brother.
Li Guo'er took a long breath and nodded heavily towards Ouyang Rong:
"This road is open, I have no problem."
Xie Lingjiang asked with burning eyes:
"So, Senior Brother, have you made your decision?"
Ouyang Rong looked at her, looked around and hesitated to speak, when Li Xian's admiration came from beside him:
"Fortunately, there is a good man here. I didn't expect that Tan Lang had even arranged his escape route early. Tan Lang is familiar with Xunyang City and has taken it into consideration. Otherwise, if we had fled westward out of the city in a hurry, we would have suffered setbacks and been arrested at any time..."
Guo Yu was also convinced, cupping his fists and cupping his hands:
"I've seen it tonight. Your thoughts are thorough and interconnected. You are a great talent."
Meng Shouguang, who was quietly waiting for his lord's decision, couldn't help but take a second look at this young man who was deeply trusted by his lord, and a look of respect slowly appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, he faced admiring glances from all around.
Ouyang Rong frowned and waved his hand:
"It's just good luck. It happened that Chen Shenjun was guarding the west city tonight, and the area between Shuangfeng was under my management again..."
At this point, he suddenly stopped talking.
Li Xian, Li Guo'er, Guo Yu, Meng Shouguang and others also discovered Ouyang Rong's anomaly.
I saw that he lowered his head and seemed to be thinking for a while, then suddenly raised his head and glanced across their faces one by one, as if he was in a trance.
"Eldest brother?"
Xie Lingjiang asked cautiously: "What's wrong with you?"
Ouyang Rong shook his head.
Li Dalang glanced at the night outside the window with a worried look on his face:
"It's already five o'clock, and it's almost dawn. Official Miaozhen and the others will arrive tomorrow morning. Wang Lengran will definitely seal the city tightly. It will be really difficult to escape by then."
Meng Shouguang added in a muffled voice:
"The palace female official sent by Empress Wei to secretly deliver poisonous wine and supervise the death penalty must have a high level of Qi refining. According to the previous standards, there will be no less than one female official in colorful clothes, and she may have a sixth-grade crimson."
There were eight female officials in Cai Shang beside Empress Wei, and they were all difficult to deal with. Miaozhen was one of them.
There is no shortage of sixth-grade Qi practitioners with deep red aura.
Currently, the Qi practitioner with the highest level of cultivation in Prince Xunyang's Mansion is Xie Lingjiang, a seventh-grade book translator.
Ouyang Rong, who secretly possesses the sword-wielding pulse, possesses a ninth-grade Dzogchen Perfection, plus a tripod sword, which can be regarded as a seventh-grade combat power. Of course, if there is no lack of merit and virtue in Ziwu, it can be even higher...
However, the strength of a sixth-level qi practitioner can be understood by looking at Qiu Shenji, who was injured by Da Nujun's sword and fell to the sixth level.
We need Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang to work together, plus a tripod sword, and if you don't have martial ethics, you can cheat or attack...
Not to mention, there are 500 elite soldiers from Zhechong Mansion to assist in the blockade. Even if Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang can fly, they cannot take everyone with them.
After hearing the news, everyone was restless, and Li Guoer took a deep breath:
"If you want to leave, you have to go back and make preparations. There are some important things that you need to take with you. By the way, Ouyang Lianghan and the women in Huaiye Lane also have to go with us, and it will take some time...
"Time is running out, we must make a decision immediately."
Wei Mei sighed and persuaded Ouyang Rong softly:
"My dear nephew Tanlang, my aunt knows that you are reluctant to let go of the current situation and that everyone's hard work has been wasted. It's not easy to get to this point. If you go further, you can return to Beijing...
"But, listen to my aunt's advice from someone who has experienced it. People are more important. If your life is gone, what's the use of glory and wealth? If you can keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood.
"We have survived all the dangerous days in the past, and it's not like we haven't gone through hard times before. As long as Qilang, Fusu, Bao'er, and our nephews and nieces are all well, we can survive no matter how difficult the days are.
Flavorful.
"It doesn't matter if we go to Li Zhengyan's place to look up to others and be a mascot. It's better than the situation where the Prime Minister is imprisoned now. Well, as long as we can be good, who knows what will happen in the future..."
Li Guoer, Li Dalang, Xie Lingjiang and others were moved.
"Mei Niang." Li Xian shouted emotionally.
An old couple hugged each other tightly.
Faced with their persuasion and urging, Ouyang Rong remained silent.
There are a little too many coincidences tonight, and I always feel uneasy.
He is not a superstitious and intuitive person, but he is a paranoid who believes in rational judgment.
Previously, after carefully analyzing the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty and understanding the thoughts of Empress Wei Zhao, many accurate predictions were made based on this point.
Therefore, although Ouyang Rong had not met the Emperor Zhou who was far away in Luoyang several times, he was still confident and his judgment was correct.
For the future.
Most people don’t believe it until they see it.
However, he only saw after he believed.
All the confusion tonight comes from this.
What Ouyang Rong believed conflicted with what he saw.
Ouyang Rong suddenly raised his head.
"etc."
"Wait a little longer," he said.
Ouyang Rong said to the confused crowd:
"Wait a while, I still have an important information channel that needs to be explored again, but it won't delay us from running out of the city at night."
After saying that, Ouyang Rong immediately turned his head and told Xie Lingjiang:
"Little junior sister, you should go to Xingzifang immediately and go to Zhenguang Street to take a look at the wall. In addition, go to Yan Liulang on the way and tell him that he is in urgent need. Go to the Huaiye Lane house immediately to inform aunt and others to prepare..."
"yes."
After Ouyang Rong made some arrangements, Xie ordered Jiang Gai to light his head, sip hot tea, and prepare to go out.
Ouyang Rong stretched out his hand towards her.
Xie Lingjiang tacitly handed back the piano case and left.
Ouyang Rong held the piano case, stood up, and said to Guo Yu and Meng Shouguang:
"You two have tea and wait a moment. Your Majesty and I will go get ready."
"Okay." Guo Yu and Meng Shouyi nodded seriously.
After a while, everyone left the flower hall.
Ouyang Rong first asked Li Xian, Li Dalang, and Wei Mei to go back and prepare the important seal treasures that needed to be taken away.
Then, he turned to look at Li Guo'er and continued walking forward.
The little princess with plum blossom makeup caught his eye and followed him silently.
Ouyang Rong and Li Guo'er.
One after another, they walked towards a certain sealed living room in Juxian Garden in tacit understanding.
I met Wang Junzhi who had been waiting for many days.
"Your Highness Princess, Ouyang Changshi, have you figured it out?"
Wang Junzhi lowered his head and carefully wiped the cold edge of the moonlight sword with a handkerchief, just like an obsessive-compulsive disorder attack, wiping the sword clean that he might have cut himself.
Ouyang Rong didn't answer and sat down alone, with the piano case in front of his knees.
Wang Junzhi glanced outside the door: "What happened outside just now? Is there an outsider coming?"
Ouyang Rong looked at him silently, but Li Guo'er suddenly spoke:
"Yes, it was an informant from Luoyang who came to report. Because of Li Zhengyan's incident, the Saint put the Prime Minister under house arrest, gave him two cups of poisonous wine, and ordered the female official to deliver it to King Xunyang and the Crown Prince. The female official's envoy... arrived three days later."
She told sadly.
During this period, Ouyang Rong's eyes were fixed on Wang Junzhi.
He saw the slight stunned look on Wang Junzhi's face, and couldn't hide the surprise and joy in his tone:
"Okay, okay, what did you say before? Emperor Wei is old and fatuous. He listened to the slander of the traitorous king of the Wei family. Even if Li Gong hadn't revolted righteously, he would have reached this point.
"Your Highness the little princess, Ouyang Changshi, you should have seen the situation clearly a long time ago, hahaha... The poison of a tiger does not eat its seeds. Emperor Wei is ridiculous. He is really stupid and unethical!"
After sneering, he couldn't wait to ask:
"So when you came here, have you thought carefully about it? Although there are still three days left, it is better to make a decision early. Be careful that Wang Lengran learns the news in advance and closes the city..."
Wang Junzhi couldn't hide the smile on his face, and he also reminded Ouyang Rong and Li Guo'er with concern.
Li Guo'er didn't answer and turned to look at Ouyang Rong.
The latter suddenly stood up, ignored Wang Junzhi, and left the living room.
Wang Junzhi was stunned: "Why don't you two say anything..."
Ouyang Rong and Li Guo'er left him behind and walked through the gate.
"It doesn't look like acting."
On the corridor late at night, Li Baoer whispered.
Ouyang Rong nodded slightly and added for her:
"It just means that it's not like Li Zhengyan's trick."
"Then do you doubt Mr. Wei, or do you mean..."
Li Baoer pursed her red lips:
"Even the emperor's uncle is suspicious. That Hotan jade tablet belongs to the emperor's uncle and cannot be faked. In fact, I had doubts at first, but as we all know, the emperor's uncle and the Wei family are at odds with each other."
She closed her eyes and sighed:
"My mother is right. If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood."
Ouyang Rong didn't squint, and moved forward with the piano case in his arms:
"I doubt everyone except myself."
Li Guo'er couldn't help but look sideways:
"There's only half an hour left before dawn..."
"Wait a moment, little junior sister."
Ouyang Rong's tone was extremely serious:
"One last time, please verify again."
The two returned, and Li Xian, Li Dalang and others also completed their preparations and gathered in the flower hall again.
After a while, the junior sister hurriedly returned and brought news from Zhenguang Street:
"Senior Brother, the wall has not changed. There is still a pot of Begonia flowers on it."
