Chapter 603: Saving the Mute EmbroidererPlease vote for me!
Looking from a distance, there are lights on in the quiet little courtyard.
The carriage driven by Ali stopped in an alley next to it.
Deep in the alley, there were two dark figures waiting quietly. When they saw Ouyang Rong's carriage stopped, they immediately got on.
However, one black shadow was faster, and the other black shadow simply stopped and continued to wait.
"Mingfu."
In the carriage, Ouyang Rong was lowering his head to straighten his clothes. When he saw Yan Liulang getting into the carriage, he didn't get out of the carriage yet.
"Were you at Li's house just now?"
"Yes." Yan Liulang nodded seriously: "I just happened to see the Ming Mansion's carriage passing by."
"Rokuro is smart, come here and wait for me."
Yan Liulang covered his mouth and turned to look at the quiet courtyard not far away:
"When the Ming Dynasty passes by, I will definitely come and see the embroidered lady."
Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes and changed the topic:
"After Rong Nushi asked the Supervisory Yuan to release her, did she send someone to keep an eye on Li's house?"
Yan Liulang glanced at Ouyang Rong with a calm face:
"That's right, Ming Mansion is really good at knowing things. On the surface, it was a low-ranking Jiangzhou police officer who took them out from the Supervisory Yuan and put them back on behalf of Jiangzhou Hall.
"Actually, there should be a lot of secrets in Li's house now. The Supervisory Yuan has also developed a few subordinates among those maids and female relatives... waiting for the stupid fish to be caught."
Ouyang Rong sighed:
"No matter what god, Li Yu could have guessed something, but I didn't expect them to actually do it. It seems that Li Yu didn't worry too much.
"I was walking very fast in the afternoon and forgot to tell her to stop these little tricks."
Yan Liulang sighed:
"The female historian and the female officials of the Control Yuan really hate those rebels."
Ouyang Rong rubbed his face and said nothing.
Not long ago, Li Yu passed by his house and refused to enter. He also said that his house was gone, which was actually a double entendre.
If he returns to Li's house safe and sound, he is likely to attract Yunmeng Jianze's attention.
It is impossible to send someone to try to contact him, so it becomes another bait.
Of course Ouyang Rong, who is looking for people, is not interested in this kind of thing.
But looking at it now, Rong Nushi and the Control Yuan are still a little bit out of sorts and can't hold it back.
Don't blame Li Yu for being wary.
Yan Liulang thought for a while and asked:
"Did the Ming Dynasty send Li Yu to live in Chengtian Temple? Then should we humble ourselves and keep an eye on this person?"
"No, let him go."
"But if he runs away, it will be difficult for Mingfu to do business."
"It's okay, I won't run away."
Ouyang Rong waved his hand.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words, and Yan Liulang got out of the car with a thoughtful expression on his face and left.
In the dark alley, a waiting beautiful woman in purple and gold silk came forward, ready to replace Yan Liulang and board the carriage.
"Wait a minute, Rokuro."
Ouyang Rong suddenly opened the curtain and called out to Yan Liulang.
Pei Shisanniang stopped and followed Ouyang Rong with curious eyes, looking at Yan Liulang who was turning around.
"What's the matter, Mingfu?"
Yan Liulang asked doubtfully, preparing to return.
Ouyang Rong pondered for a moment.
He shook his head again:
"Forget it, it's okay. You can go back and get some rest early."
"Yes, Mingfu."
Yan Liulang left a little confused.
Ouyang Rong's face became thoughtful, and he didn't come back to his senses until Pei Shisanniang carefully boarded the carriage, sat down in front of him, and bent down to rub his legs while he was in a daze.
"hand."
Ouyang Rong said without lowering his head.
Below, the two jade hands that were unknowingly close to the thighs shrank a little.
"When I went to Dragon City, did the embroiderer go to Chengtian Temple every day to offer incense and worship the Buddha?"
he asked suddenly.
Pei Sanniang couldn't help but raise her head and glance at the young master's elegant and handsome face.
It's a calm look.
"That's right, Miss Xiu Niang didn't let me accompany her to buy groceries in those days. She always ate vegetarian food at Chengtian Temple. I thought that Miss Xiu Niang might be used to staying in Beitian Alms Home.
, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.”
She asked in a weak tone: "Master, have I failed in my duty..."
Ouyang Rong shook his head and looked down at Pei Shisanniang.
She sat across from her, and in order to gently hammer and knead his thighs, she folded her upper body in half, bent over, and flattened her bulging breasts, which were unique to women, until they were full and overflowed, as if they were about to be squeezed out.
Coupled with the way she looks up to the man, and intentionally or unintentionally, she has the face of a weak and coquettish mature lady, which is a bit charming.
Ouyang Rong remained motionless and asked again: "Xiu Niang goes shopping and buys groceries on weekdays. Is there any place she often goes to?"
Pei Shisanniang straightened up, pulled up the wrinkled collar of her shirt, and looked thoughtful:
"There are some. For example, she often goes to a pastry shop called Taoshouzhai... There are also vegetable stalls set up by several farmers in the city..."
With a look of reminiscence in her eyes, she told everything she knew.
Ouyang Rong listened quietly.
Then, he took the initiative to change the topic.
Not long after, Pei Shisanniang finished reporting on the situation in the quiet courtyard over the past few days. Ouyang Rong encouraged her a few words and dismissed her with a wave of her hand.
Watching the beautiful woman in purple and gold silk go away, Ouyang Rong looked out the front window at the night with deep thought in his eyes.
He just realized something.
Xiu Niang hid in the Beitian Almshouse of Chengtian Temple and escaped several rounds of searches by female officials. Judging from the situation, it seemed that a chubby little novice and a certain eminent monk behind him helped with the procedures.
Where there is one there are two.
Assuming that Yue Chuzi is currently in Xunyang City, where is she most likely to be?
The answer is Chengtian Temple.
As for why the female officials of the Control Yuan failed to find anyone, it is also easy to explain.
There are too many places to hide people in this century-old temple.
Perhaps just like when Master Zhongma hid in the Pure Land Palace of Donglin Temple and stole the Mad Emperor's Cauldron Sword, Yue Chuzi was quietly hiding in a hidden corner of Chengtian Temple similar to the underground palace, waiting in hibernation.
Otherwise, why would Xiu Niang go to Chengtian Temple so frequently? Does she really miss the food at this temple?
Either look for the chubby little novice monk and the others and contact Yunmeng Jianze; or look for a virgin.
No matter which one it is, Chengtian Temple is the most suspicious place. I guarantee that no one will say anything after checking it.
And there's one more thing.
Ouyang Rong and Xiu Niang "suddenly looked back" to the dawn morning when they met again at Chengtian Temple.
Ouyang Rong remembered that his carriage had been searched, which frightened him so much that he almost ran away and became suspicious as he had just fished out the tripod sword from the lake.
Later, when he met Xiu Niang, he always thought that it was Xiu Niang who conducted the search by mistake...
Well, it may be that Yunmeng Jianze used some special methods, or Yunmeng Jianze was proficient in swordsmanship, and they were able to detect the sword energy of the nearby tripod sword and were attracted to it, although it is a bit far-fetched.
Because logically speaking, not just cats and dogs can detect the sword energy of the Cauldron Sword.
Every time the sword energy of the Cauldron Sword is leaked, the first one to find Ouyang Rong is the crazy woman named "Xue Zhongzhu".
Although I look a little embarrassed every time I run away, being able to be chased by Lady Yunmeng personally and being run away by him is really exciting and gives me a sense of accomplishment...
As you can imagine, this is a cat-and-mouse game between masters.
In Yunmeng Jianze, there should not be many people who are qualified to catch him like a cat... such as the big female prince, the second female prince, Ru Yue virgin, these card characters.
According to Ye Weilai's previous swordsmanship training, Xiu Niang should be a female monarch. However, the palace of female monarchs in Yunmeng Jianze is very mysterious. There is very little information about it in the mountains and rivers, and the female monarchs in it should also be divided into strong and weak.
Looking at Xiu Niang's appearance, it's hard to believe that she is very valued and valued in Yunmeng Jianze, so she would blind her already poor mute again after not seeing her for a year?
So when we were chatting in the quiet courtyard, Ouyang Rongcai told Xiu Niang half-jokingly that the so-called miracle doctor her "family" had found was not very good.
He said in front of Xiu Niang that her "family members" didn't seem to care much about her, and it wasn't an incitement to discord.
But Ouyang Rong was indeed a little dissatisfied.
Due to some misunderstandings when she was young, Xiu Niang joined you, Yunmeng Jianze, by selling her body. It is true, but this is not the reason for you, the superior ladies, to ignore or even wrong her. You are really treating the surly girls below.
Used as a tool to work around? Just like Li Yu, right? Working for future Yuan Junbai.
All in all, now it seems that there may be someone else who searched his carriage.
Not the embroiderer, but the Yue virgin hiding somewhere in the temple!
Attracted by the [Craftsman's Work] just fished out of Xingzi Lake, I left the safe place to search for [Craftsman's Work].
But later on, he quickly put the [Craftsman's Work] into the Mohist sword box, blocking all Qi...
In my mind, there are many clues and suspicious things connected in series.
Ouyang Rong nodded slowly, his face a little confused.
Although he was afraid of returning later, he still had to thank this virgin.
At that time, my embroidery lady could appear nearby, maybe she was cooperating with her to find [Tripod Sword], she was an old tool.
But the more Ouyang Rong thought about it, the more he felt that Yunmeng Jianze was not a good thing. He felt that the embroiderer was wronged. The embroiderer was already like this, blind and mute. It was just a blindfold ribbon, and she was sent out early in the morning.
Looking for the "Master of Dielianhua" and the [Tripod Sword], what if the "Master of Dielianhua" kills me with a sword? What if my whereabouts are exposed, not only by him, but also by the procuratorate?
Fortunately, he is the bad guy.
Ouyang Rong sighed.
Suddenly I felt that what Rong Nushi said was very reasonable. Yunmeng Jianze must be taken care of. Otherwise, he, the governor of Jiangzhou, would not be able to issue a fine if he abused the disabled and ignored labor laws.
Ouyang Rong hissed in the carriage for a while, and then Shi Shiran got out of the carriage.
He rolled up his sleeves and walked silently towards the quiet little courtyard with lights on.
These complaints are complaints.
But Ouyang Rong, who had just reacted, called Yan Liulang to stop and waved his hand to let him go.
Yan Liulang was not ordered to investigate Chengtian Temple in detail.
At least... we won't let Yan Liulang investigate now.
Ouyang Rong promised Xiu Niang last time not to ask much about her family. Even the long sword wrapped in cloth in her hand, Ouyang Rong pretended not to see...
Xiu Niang has finally been coaxed out of Chengtian Temple by him and lives in a quiet small courtyard. Although she runs to Chengtian Temple from time to time, it can be regarded as the first step to gradually distance herself from the future Yuan Junyue. Judging from Li Yu's piety
You know that the belief between Yunmeng Jianze and Yuan Jun is not so easy to dissolve.
"By the way, does Li Yu know that there is something strange about Chengtian Temple? His loyal and secretive future Yuanjun is inside and lives in Yuan Huaimin's courtyard. Is he kept in the dark or is he following the plan?" Ouyang Rong frowned slightly, his face as if
Something to think about.
At this time, he approached the quiet courtyard.
Suddenly I saw that the courtyard door was open, and there was a slender figure holding a lone lamp, groping blankly at the door.
"Why did you come out!"
Ouyang Rong stepped forward eagerly, held the little hand that the embroiderer stretched out to explore the way forward, held it tightly, and asked.
"Ah...ah."
Zhao Qingxiu grabbed his arm, her voice was a little happy, she jumped twice on the spot, her true feelings showed a little bit of the innocent attitude unique to her little daughter's family.
Ouyang Rong had a stern face and said:
"Didn't I tell you not to run around? It's so late at night, why are you going out alone? Where are you going? Could it be Chengtian Temple again? You, why do you like running there so much? Just run.
Run, but don’t you know it’s dark..."
At this point, his somewhat grumbling words suddenly stopped. Ouyang Rong looked at her eyes covered by the azure ribbon, and pursed her lips into a thin line.
Zhao Qingxiu quickly shook her head.
"Ah ah ah." The voice was a little anxious.
She lowered her head and wrote in Ouyang Rong's palm:
[I know it’s dark, there’s no sun, and the wind is so cold]
Ouyang Rong couldn't help but say: "If you know it, why don't you run away..."
Zhao Qingxiu waved the lantern in her hand towards him.
[I heard the sound of the carriage you often ride in in the yard. I haven’t seen you come in for a long time. I, I was worried that you couldn’t find me]
Ouyang Rong was silent.
He slowly lowered his head and looked at the lantern that was lit for one person in the blindfolded girl's hand.
"Ah...ah?"
Realizing that Ouyang Rong in front of him was silent for a long time, Zhao Qingxiu timidly pulled off his sleeve.
【I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay】
"I'm here, I'm not leaving."
Ouyang Rong suddenly withdrew his hand and said. He clenched his hand into a fist to prevent her from writing these words like a knife. He took a deep breath and whispered:
"I'm sorry, just now... I sounded a bit harsh. I stayed at the government office for a long time during the day, and I brought my tone back with me. I'm really sorry, Xiu Niang, I... I'll leave later, play your favorite hairpin pendant, and sleep with you.
OK?"
"Uh-huh!"
Zhao Qingxiu's tone became cheerful, and two small smiles appeared on her cheeks.
At this time, the evening wind blew in her face. She realized what she was doing and quickly put the lantern in Ouyang Rong's hand, signaling him to enter the house with a lantern.
Ouyang Rong still clenched his hands into fists but did not pick them up. He suddenly said:
"Hold it for me."
Zhao Qingxiu tilted her head a little strangely, but she still said "huh" obediently. She held the lantern and walked in the same direction. This time her steps were brisker.
She had just taken two steps.
The slender body suddenly hung in the air.
Ouyang Rong suddenly picked up the blindfolded girl who was holding a lantern, holding her waist with one hand and her legs with the other.
"The embroiderer is walking too slowly, let me do it."
He hugged Xiu Niang around his waist and strode towards the courtyard gate without any explanation.
Zhao Qingxiu was stunned for a moment, then "brushed" her face, her face turned red.
She subconsciously wrapped her arms around Ouyang Rong's neck, and her crimson face covered with a ribbon swayed from side to side as if looking around.
"Don't move, Xiu Niang, hold up the lantern and light the way for me."
Ouyang Rong spoke with a straight face.
"Hmm...ah..."
Finding that she couldn't get rid of Tan Lang, she remained silent, her hot red face buried in his arms, her posture was stiff and she didn't dare to move.
Ouyang Rong found that the body of the girl in his arms was almost as skinny as a stick. She was so thin that it was heart-breaking. She still had a body that was prone to getting hot and blushing. Holding her in his arms was like having a small stove in her arms...
Ouyang Rong silently tightened his arms, hugged the beautiful woman, and looked forward. For some reason, there was no trace of ambiguity in his heart at this moment, and his mood was surprisingly calm and peaceful.
Accompanying the sway of his stride, the lantern in Zhao Qingxiu's hand swayed.
The light falling on the former's face also flickers on and off, like a beacon shining in the distance in the dark night.
