The sword holder Ouyang Rong took was Juemai, the eighth grade, named "Craftsman".
He used the back door channel of the Xie family's daughter in Chen County to read the secret library of this noble family that had stood for 600 years in Jiangzuo;
At the same time, I also browsed the last words inscribed on the wall of the Pure Land Palace by Master Zhongma, the sword holder of an unknown sword seventy years ago.
From it, I learned a lot of secrets about the relationship between the tripod sword and the person holding the sword.
The Dao Meridian of the sword wielder is a unique meridian. Every time he is promoted to a rank, he needs a Ding Sword Sword Technique.
Therefore, the order in which each sword holder, whether a wild one, a court or aristocratic family, obtains the sword skills is almost different.
Therefore, the sword holder Juemai, from the ninth to the first rank, does not have a unified name.
After all, there are few people leaving. Unlike the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the system is mature and there are many Qi practitioners cultivated through the ages. I have summarized the methods for rapid advancement...
There are not many references to the sword holder's pulse, or it could be said that every sword holder is a legend.
And legends naturally have their own uniqueness.
Therefore, Ouyang Rong named the ninth-grade sword holder Hanshi based on his own understanding.
Name the sword holder of the eighth grade as Craftsman.
It has the same name as the Dingjian.
This time, he gathered all the elements of the ceremony at the West City Gate, beheaded Zhu Lingxu in public, and was quietly promoted to the eighth-grade "Craftsman".
In the past two days, the brand new eighth grade gave Ouyang Rong a mysterious and mysterious new experience. However, he was interrogated with high intensity a few days ago and took a confession. He didn't have time to figure it out one by one. He could only go back and talk about it...
The carriage slowly left the Jiangzhou lobby where the lockdown had just been lifted.
This carriage that came to pick up people was low-key and ordinary, but it had two flags of "leave" and "thank you" hanging in an inconspicuous place.
But in the eyes of knowledgeable people, they can't help but be stunned.
In Xunyang City, there is only one palace with the surname "Li", and the word "Xie" dares to be placed together with the word "Li". Who else has the surname Qiwang besides Wu?
This is the most low-key and silent prominence.
Ouyang Rong didn't know that the carriage that came to pick him up was so high-profile and silently driving on the road, it would make many nobles and officials' carriages humbly give way, thus promoting traffic compliance in Xunyang City.
In the carriage, there were men and women cuddling with each other. After a while of silence, Ouyang Rong spoke and changed the topic.
"This white dress looks beautiful."
"This is men's clothing, not a skirt."
"Oh. You look best in men's clothes." He nodded: "From the first moment I saw you, I realized that you look better in women's skirts."
"It was the first time we met, wasn't it a kick in the ass?"
Xie Ling Jiang wrinkled his pointed nose, pointed his chin with his green-white index finger, turned his head with doubtful eyes, and glanced at him:
"I still have time to take a quick look. Oh, you're attracted to it at the first sight, right?"
"What does it mean to be attracted by lust and only allow you to make a shining appearance, but not allow me to fall in love at first sight?"
Ouyang Rong blinked his eyes, coughed, pinched his hoarse voice, and imitated the words of passers-by:
"Hey, whose little lady is this? She's fierce and pretty, so good-looking, but has a straight face, and is more serious than a nerd... Oh, she turns out to be a junior sister."
Xie Lingjiang tried her best to suppress the corners of her lips and rolled her eyes at him.
"Bah, why did you know how to coax me when you fell in love at first sight? Why did you feel that you were avoiding me at that time? The pickled radishes on the table were more attractive than me. I just ate the pickled radishes from the morning dining room, and my father and Aunt Zhen were fighting quietly.
Ji Feng, you don’t care... do you call this love at first sight?"
When she thought about this, she couldn't help but pout her lips.
Ouyang Rong naturally heard the little resentment in the junior sister's words, but he pretended not to understand. Well, he couldn't just explain everything honestly, explaining that at that time he was not interested in the cheap junior sister's marriage and just wanted to return home?
He nodded.
In addition, you are complaining, and in my ears, you are reminding me that this meritorious little wooden fish is "plus one" to increase its merits. What's going on?
It's duplicity, right? After being coaxed, you actually feel sweet in your heart?
Well, if you are outspoken, you are worthy of your name, woman.
Ouyang Rong laughed in his heart, but suddenly found his little junior sister cute.
"It's the first time we've met. How dare you, little junior sister, mention it? Okay, okay."
He pretended to be angry from embarrassment and pulled Xie Lingjiang into his arms.
"Ah -" the beautiful woman cried out tenderly, sitting stiffly in the young man's arms.
"Don't move."
Ouyang Rong ordered, he hugged this warm and soft body from the side, and gently placed his chin on her thick green haired head, pressing it involuntarily.
At the same time, a big hand from below reached out and grabbed it, giving it a small punishment.
Ouyang Rong narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you dare to kick your husband with these long legs?"
"Just kick, just kick." Her mouth was tougher than a duck's.
"Huh?" Ouyang Rong's nasal voice suddenly became thicker, as did a certain rough palm.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Xie Lingjiang bit her lip and tried hard to endure it, but she had a sensitive constitution and couldn't bear it any longer. She blushed and whispered: "Take it... take it away, don't mess around, there is someone here."
Ouyang Rong looked around: "Where is the person?"
"The street...the street."
"We can't be seen again."
"If you can't see it, it means you're not there. You're so close, you... you're not ashamed."
After some fighting, the tiredness on Ouyang Rong's face dissipated a lot, and although his tone was hoarse, he was much more relaxed:
"Junior sister, please answer me again. Do you still dare to kick me?"
"I...you..."
"Huh?" Ouyang Rong blinked, and pressed his chin down on her black-haired little head, "What about me, what about you, speak louder."
She buried her chest: "I won't kick anymore, you, please move your hands away... it's itchy..."
Ouyang Rong felt that the younger junior sister's voice was more itchy and scratched the man's heart.
"Well, that's about it. Ahem, show some respect to senior brother. You know, I'm going to defeat my little junior sister."
Xie Lingjiang, who was sitting in the man's arms, buried her little head in her chest and said nothing. Her high ponytail was scattered, and her black hair covered her side face, so her expression could not be seen clearly. At the same time, Ouyang Rong's nose was tickled, and there was only a slight "" in her mouth.
"Woo" came out, like a purring kitten curled up in its owner's arms.
"Okay, let's let it go for now."
A pair of long legs were stretched tightly under a certain men's robe. It wasn't until a certain hand was removed that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, the beauty in men's clothing muttered:
"I am me, my legs are my legs. I said not to kick, but it didn't agree. It is the one who kicked you, so what does it have to do with me? If you have the ability, go to it and teach it, don't just catch me and bully you."
At this point, she suddenly looked back, and her two bare hands were interlocked with his big hand, holding his mischievous hand unable to move. At the same time, Xie Lingjiang rolled her eyes up and glared at him, her small eyes demonstrating.
:
"Hmph, be careful. If you mess with it, I'll kick you next time."
As he said that, a pair of small black boots stepped on Ouyang Rong on the carpet below.
Arrogant and untamable.
Ouyang Rong was speechless, straightened her head, kept pressing her chin on the top of her head, squinted her eyes and stared ahead, and said:
"Don't be afraid. Senior brother is killing a junior sister with one sword. When I see it, I won't kill it with one sword."
"Well, he is indeed an eighth-grade great swordsman, he is so domineering. But...are you talking about craftsmanship?"
Xie Ling Jiang Qiao smiled sweetly, without any fear in his expression, blinked his eyes and said:
"Hey, this little guy doesn't listen to you. He spends a lot of time with me and you don't have time to spend time with me. Humph, let him bully me? You can't control him. He is closer to me."
Ouyang Rong's eyes were strange: "That's not what I'm talking about."
"...??" Xie Lingjiang.
After a while, Ouyang Rong, whose instep was secretly numbed by the beauty's retaliation, coughed twice and withdrew his foot.
He said seriously:
"Thank you for your hard work. You have been waiting outside for a long time these past two days."
Xie Lingjiang shook his head:
"No matter how hard it is, you are the one who suffers the most.
"Uncle and aunt, Dalang Bao'er are very worried about you. Although we have discussed it before... It is not convenient for them to come with a big fanfare today. They are eagerly waiting for you at the palace. Let's go over first to make sure you are safe, and then go back to Huaiye Lane to see aunt. In the evening
Eat there.”
"Okay, you make arrangements."
Xie Lingjiang turned around, glanced at Ouyang Rong's stubbled chin, reached out and touched his Adam's apple, his pretty face distressed:
"I heard from my uncle that when he came over in the morning, you were being interrogated all night by the censor and the old policeman. Now I hear that your voice has become hoarse. It has only been two days and your face has become much thinner. Aunt Zhen and the others are going to feel bad again... Senior brother is hungry
It's broken. Before I left, I made some food and heated it in a pot for eating later."
"When something goes wrong, someone always has to take responsibility." Ouyang Rong shook his head: "It's not just me, everyone is being interrogated like this. I don't have the privilege. But that Rong Zhen is really tormenting people."
Xie Lingjiang hummed: "Let's settle this account with her in the future."
Ouyang Rong smiled.
The two hugged each other and enjoyed a rare moment of peace.
During this period, because of the affairs between the Wei family and Zhu Lingxu and his son, the whole palace was tense, and Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang had no time to show their affection.
Now the overall situation has turned around and the situation has been decided.
I can relax a little bit.
Ouyang Rong prefers this posture of hugging the junior sister from behind, because hugging face to face will be a bit crowded, and the junior sister is prone to shyness and blushing. With her back turned like this, she will be bolder and can say bolder things...
"Drive the carriage slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Ouyang Rong spoke louder and ordered Yan Liulang who was immersed in driving outside.
Looking back, he smiled and said to Xie Lingjiang:
"I just happened to hold you and rest on the way. I was a little tired. I squinted for a while and called me when I arrived at the palace... By the way, I will go to your yard to take a bath later. I am dirty and sweaty. I haven't washed myself in two days. I am embarrassed to see my uncle.
, I’m a big man now.”
"What's this?" Xie Lingjiang shook his head.
"You don't mind it." Ouyang Rong said with a smile: "The sweat all over your body has stained your clean clothes."
"I...I hate you so much."
Xie Ling Jiang Xiang's cheeks bulged, she looked away with slightly trembling eyes, and at the same time gently patted away someone's big pig's hooves below. She held the back of his hand and pressed it on her waist to suppress the mischief.
The eldest brother seems to hold a grudge against the legs that once kicked his ass.
"If you want to wash it, I'll wash it too. After all, someone's pig's paws have wrinkled other people's clothes...Humph, you're not a gentleman at all. It's really, really wrong to pay."
Xie Lingjiang raised her delicate chin.
Ouyang Rong thought: "It seems that my junior sister is chasing me and crying so hard."
Xie Lingjiang turned around: "Huh?"
Ouyang Rong discovered that there are so many different tunes to the sound of "um".
Her expression was sincere: "Say it again."
Ouyang Rong said seriously: "I said, okay, let's take a shower together, it just so happens that we all take a shower..."
"That's not the sentence." After a pause, Xie Lingjiang rolled his eyes cutely: "You have a beautiful idea. Be honest, the previous sentence will give you another chance to reorganize the language."
"Oh, you didn't tell me the last sentence earlier." Ouyang Rong sat upright: "I said... I am really unworthy of being a gentleman. I don't even let my junior sister go. I fell in love at first sight when we first met, and then pursued her and stalked her to death.
beat."
"Well, is it true? Is this really the case?"
She tilted her head and asked.
"Yes!" He said firmly.
"Okay." Xie Lingjiang bit his lip and showed two white little tiger teeth at him: "From now on, you have to answer this question to everyone, do you understand?"
"clear!"
Ouyang Rong didn't squint.
Xie Lingjiang nodded with satisfaction.
The husband and the child will meet half of the standard. What does it mean to marry a girl with the fifth surname?
Xie Lingjiang smiled lightly.
Then he released the hand that was pressing Ouyang Rong as usual, as if he had forgotten.
The eldest brother behind her surprisingly didn't do anything that would make her embarrassed or hot-tempered.
He just bent his arm and hugged her waist.
The two of them were sitting so close to each other.
Xie Lingjiang felt sweet in her heart.
It's just that they were sitting in this position, and the wheels of the carriage underneath them were rolling, causing the carriage to bump back and forth.
As a result, the noble lady Xie blushed quietly and lowered her starry eyes.
Ouyang Rong immediately sighed, although Liulang outside said nothing from beginning to end, he knew how to drive.
Knowing that the junior sister was here, she drove the carriage ricketyly. In other words, why haven't I seen him with such "poor" skills before?
So loyal.
Ouyang Rong put his arms around the beautiful woman's waist and closed his eyes slightly, seemingly resting.
Xie Lingjiang didn't notice these twists and turns. He looked down at the snow-white men's clothes on his body and changed the topic:
"Does it really look good? Why do I feel normal? Well, I was busy going out in the afternoon. I cooked a bowl of ginger soup for you in the kitchen, fried a few dishes of side dishes, hurried back to the house, picked something at random, and wore it out... You really
like?"
"Um."
Ouyang Rong nodded, closed his eyes, and whispered hoarsely:
"You look good... You look good no matter what you wear. What's important is the person, not the clothes.
"Wearing it on you, even if the monk's clothes are in tatters, is charming."
Xie Lingjiang's voice couldn't help softening and he asked, "Why is your mouth so sweet?"
"For the past two days, I have been locked up in there and asked boring and mechanical questions all night long. Some things suddenly became clear to me."
Ouyang Rong didn't open his eyes and said:
“At that time, I was thinking about what I was going to do after I came out, what food I was going to eat, who I was going to meet...
"Things that were easy to ignore in the past, and people who ignored them, suddenly understood their importance.
"For example, Junior Sister's noodles, pears, Auntie's pastries, Wei Lai's pastries, Mother Weber's specialty dishes... This kind of thought will not deceive people."
Xie Lingjiang was curious: "Why are they all eating?"
"..." Ouyang Rong suddenly choked.
Xie Lingjiang smiled, "I know, I'm just kidding."
Ouyang Rong smiled.
After a while, Xie Lingjiang felt that Ouyang Rong, who was holding her behind him, was breathing steadily and seemed to be asleep. She did not dare to move for fear of waking him up.
However, the next moment, a man's voice came:
"Thanks."
Xie Lingjiang knew what he was talking about and pursed his lips:
"After the incident, my uncle and aunt said that you were wise, Bao'er praised your bravery, and Da Lang said that he promised you that he would not let the salary recipients freeze to death in the wind and snow...
"Eldest brother said he misses us, and his thoughts are not deceptive. But in fact, when he was away, my uncle and I also realized the importance of our elder brother. Everyone misses you very much. Your absence feels like there is no backbone.
"So, what's the point of thanking you?"
After a pause: "We are companions."
Ouyang Rong interrupted and asked: "What about you?"
"I..." Xie Lingjiang lowered his head: "I feel very sad."
Ouyang Rong pursed his lips.
He suddenly untied Xie Lingjiang's high ponytail that she had hastily tied when she went out. With careful eyes, he combed her silky hair and tied it again with a red ribbon.
Xie Lingjiang lowered her head and let Jun tie up her hair. She raised her hands to cover her cheeks, arched her eyebrows, and continued to preach:
"Before you left, you warned us that we are not allowed to use any of the connections and prestige of the Prince's Palace and the Xie family to pressure and recruit people. We want to survive alone by fighting wits and courage.
"But everyone is very worried about you, and there is really no way... Bao'er is still smart, and asked his uncle to go out. Taking the overall situation as the top priority, Jiangzhou cannot be suspended for too long, and urge the female officials to unblock the Jiangzhou lobby. Well, this
It doesn't count as violating your arrangement.
"After all, in the past two days, all the investigations that should be investigated have been completed, and all the confessions that should be taken have been taken. It is enough, there is no need to delay it any longer.
"If we drag it on and something happens again in Jiangzhou, it will be Rong Zhen's and the others' responsibility.
"So, even if Rong Zhen still suspects that she is making things difficult for you, if she continues to investigate, her female officers will also complain."
Ouyang Rong was silent for a while.
"Good." Nod.
The two were quiet for a while, and Ouyang Rong teased:
"Well, why do I feel like the leader of an evil force?"
"Forget about scolding yourself, don't lead us, we are not stupid minions."
Xie Lingjiang pouted:
"No joke."
She reminded her sternly: "Elder brother, you still have to be careful about Rong Zhen. This girl is not simple. It's impossible to say..."
Ouyang Rong nodded:
"You have to be prepared to bear the consequences of anything you do. Rong Zhen didn't do anything wrong, it's just a different stance."
"You should speak up for her."
Xie Lingjiang said angrily, as if remembering something, reminding:
"The arrests by the criminal officers here in Jiangzhou are just an appetizer. I heard from my father that there are many experts in investigating crimes in the Dali Temple in Luoyang, the capital of God, and in the Si Tianjian of Shangyang Palace. Senior brother, please be careful..."
