Chapter 633 A formation covering Jiangnan? [Please vote for me!]
"Elder brother, why did you suddenly ask this question today?"
Xunyang Prince's Mansion.
Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang returned from the Xunyang Grottoes. After arriving at the palace, they went straight to Li Guoer's boudoir, Meiyingzhai.
Passing a waterside promenade on the road, Xie Lingjiang suddenly turned around and asked.
"What's the problem?" Ouyang Rong was curious.
"Ask me if I know what happened to your family's former child bride?"
Ouyang Rong pursed his lips, became quiet for a moment, and said softly:
"A few days ago, my aunt gave me a piece of my mother's relics. I looked through it in the past two days. There was a piece of crumpled red paper with my birth date written on it, but there was another old red paper next to it, with another name written on it.
A birthday horoscope seems to belong to a girl...
"She seems to be called Xiu Niang. She should be the child bride of my childhood. She is of the same race as my mother. When my mother returned to her parents' home to take her over, the elders even made a rough marriage contract. Later...
"My aunt may have told my junior sister about what happened next. This girl named Xiu Niang has been kicked out of the house by my mother and aunt. This rough engagement established by the elders has long been forgotten, but if you think about it carefully, after all, it is
We had a fate before, I wonder if my junior sister has a grudge."
The two were originally walking side by side, but Ouyang Rong subconsciously slowed down a bit when he spoke.
Xie Lingjiang walked a little ahead. After Ouyang Rong finished speaking, he waited for a while, but when no reply came from the front, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Lady Xie walked forward for a while, wondering if she had listened carefully just now.
The two of them were approaching Meiyingzhai.
At this time, Xie Lingjiang nodded lightly: "I heard Aunt Zhen say it."
Ouyang Rong looked sideways calmly. He could only see the loose ponytail on the back of her head that bounced with her steps, but he couldn't tell her specific expression.
Before he was ready to speak.
"We're here. Senior brother, go in first. I'll go back and change my clothes. It's all your fault. You were dishonest just now and pulled the wrapping loose..."
Xie Lingjiang suddenly turned around and gave him a shy words. The red glow on his pretty face when the two of them were affectionate in the carriage not long ago had not dissipated much.
Ouyang Rong saw that her eyes were still bright, and nodded slightly:
"good."
…
Xie Lingjiang changed into a men's Confucian shirt that was wide and covered her body. In fact, she also changed into belly pants and a certain wrapping cloth. As for why she changed these items...it was all the fault of the senior brother.
She bit her lower lip lightly and climbed up to the Zhulou, chasing away those who wanted to stick to her on the way.
When Xie Lingjiang rushed to the study room on the third floor of Meiyingzhai's Zhu Building with a black and white folding fan in hand, the atmosphere in the venue fell into silence.
She looked around the room.
Sister Guo'er was standing by the bookshelf, flipping through books, holding the scroll in one hand and holding the other behind her back.
There are two Taishi chairs in the center of the study. They must have been moved there not long ago. Senior Brother and Daoist Fellow Lu are sitting on them facing each other.
Fellow Daoist Lu was sitting upright with his sword across his knees, looking at the senior brother opposite him with a familiar paralyzed face.
The eldest brother relaxed a lot, leaning on the Taishi chair, tapping his fingers with both hands, lightly tapping the armrests of the chair, lowering his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Sister Guo'er, who was standing by the bookshelf not far away, turned her head from time to time to glance at the senior brother who was thinking.
Xie Lingjiang walked behind the chair where Ouyang Rong was sitting, and the latter turned to look at her.
After receiving the look from his senior brother, Xie Ling Jiang knew that he stood quietly and listened silently.
"What Fellow Daoist Lu means is that Yunmeng Jianze is determined to stop the Donglin Giant Buddha."
Ouyang Rong asked after just listening to the general information given by Lu Ya.
"That's right. It's unclear when exactly we will start."
Lu Ya nodded seriously.
Ouyang Rong nodded gently, his face showed no surprise, and he spoke slowly:
"Your senior brother Yuan Xiuzi overlooked one point. In fact, Yunmeng Jianze's side probably already knew about my existence, knew that I was in charge of the statue creation at Xunyang Grottoes, and also knew that I had some ambiguity with Xunyang Prince's Mansion.
Chu’s relationship.”
Lu Ya raised his eyelids: "What do you mean?"
Before Ouyang Rong could explain, Li Guo'er, who was reading a scroll by the bookshelf, had already spoken and said on his behalf:
"It means that the condition proposed by Lady Yunmeng not to harm our palace has itself set a trap. At present, in Jiangzhou, Ouyang Lianghan is in charge of the Donglin Buddha, and my father is also the nominal governor of Jiangnan.
Helping grandma make the statue, our palace also needs this credit, because grandma is watching from above, so how can it be so easy to withdraw.
"In the end, this great lady just asked us to stop and step aside... I didn't mention whether she abided by Qiu's promise not to break it. She just said that this move was divided into two parts and used beautifully. If we were confused
Prince Yang's Mansion obeyed, and now there was less force in Xunyang City to protect the smooth landing of the Donglin Buddha, which also relieved the pressure on them.
"Actually, they are not at a loss anyway. It's hard to say that they had no intention of targeting our Prince Xunyang's Mansion in the first place. Now they are just bargaining casually, an empty bargaining chip."
Li Bao'er curled her lips. After saying this, she couldn't bear to look at the scroll in her hand anymore. Her mind was not on it. Li Bao'er stood on tiptoe and stuffed the scroll back into the space on the top row of the bookshelf.
Lu Ya nodded thoughtfully, and after a while, he shook his head again:
"But Yunmeng Jianze has to do it this time, and they do have the strength to make such a condition. By then, if the imperial court fails to hold on, the situation in Xunyang City will be temporarily controlled by their people, and the war will be in chaos.
, the safety of the palace cannot be guaranteed, and we must prepare for a rainy day..."
Xie Lingjiang listened quietly for a while, then glanced at the elder brother who lowered his head and said nothing, she said crisply:
"So Yuan Xiuzi stayed there by himself and asked fellow Daoist Lu to come to Xunyang City immediately to inform the palace and inform Yunmeng. Jianze's bottom line was that he wanted the palace to place bets on both sides and maintain a good relationship with the Jiangzhou Supervisory Authority, while at the same time
Not completely offending Yunmeng Jianze is like sitting on the fence, waiting until the day of conflict, hiding in a low profile, waiting for the situation to settle before making a decision?"
"Well, that's right."
Lu Ya said seriously:
"The Patriarch Hall had roughly the same idea, so they sent Pindao and Senior Brother Yuan Xiuzi down the mountain to contact Yunmeng Jianze and intercede in advance. They were afraid of involving the prince, regardless of where Yunmeng Jianze or Luoyang Si Tianjian Qi Practitioners were.
If one side wins, the palace cannot take any risks. This is a foolproof strategy."
After a pause, he added:
"When Pindao participated in Peach Valley Wenjian, he came into contact with these Yue girls. They attach great importance to their promises, so there is no need to worry about credit."
"Brother Lu."
Ouyang Rong suddenly spoke and asked another matter with a chuckle:
"When you came to Yunmeng Jianze this time, did you see anyone who was reuniting the army in the southwest at their stronghold?"
"The person who restored the army? Who?" Lu Ya couldn't help but ask.
Seeing his confused expression, Ouyang Rong shook his head slightly and asked no more questions.
Li Guo'er reacted, immediately frowned, and said coldly:
"The eldest lady just promised that we will abide by the conditions. She will not let the Yue girls harm our palace. But what if Wei Shaoqi, Du Shuqing and others from Kuang Fu's army want to do evil to our palace?
"There are precedents for these rebels who stole my father's flag. What happened to Wang Junzhi in the past is still fresh in my mind. How can anyone believe it?
"This time Tiannan Jianghu's action against the Donglin Giant Buddha is inseparable from the presence of these Kuang Fu Army rebels. It is possible that Lady Yunmeng used our palace as a bargaining chip in exchange for Kuang Fu Army.
"
Lu Ya frowned and said nothing.
Ouyang Rong sighed softly, which attracted everyone's attention. They only heard him whisper:
"This is just one of them."
Ouyang Rong turned his head and said to Lu Ya calmly:
"The Donglin Giant Buddha is no longer just a matter of the saint in Luoyang, it has been firmly tied to the situation in the southwest, involving the entire Jiangnan Road, and it affects the whole body.
"If the Donglin Giant Buddha is destroyed, it will most likely mean that the power deployed by the imperial court in Xunyang City will be temporarily destroyed. At that time, Xunyang City will fall into the hands of these Qi practitioners from Tiannan Jianghu who use force to suppress the ban. Jiangzhou alone
The lobby cannot control them and cannot force them to stop.
"Especially with Wei Shaoqi, Du Shuqing and others mixed in, it is impossible not to do something or instigate something to capture King Xunyang. It is a trivial matter to arrest him, but I am afraid that the entire Xunyang City will be paralyzed.
"Xunyang City is the most important logistics place for Marshal Qin's conquest army at the moment. Once it is lost, the war on the southwest front will inevitably be unfavorable, affecting the lives of thousands of soldiers.
"Once the front line is broken, Hongzhou and Jiangzhou fall into the enemy's hands, the southeast gate opens, and the entire Jiangnan Road is in danger."
Ouyang Rong faced everyone and asked: "How can there be any eggs under the overturned nest?"
After Lu Ya listened, he sighed quietly: "I understand."
Li Guo'er left the bookshelf, paced in front of everyone, and said coldly:
"This is number two, and there is number three."
She raised a slender index finger:
"If my father and Ouyang Lianghan give up on the Donglin Giant Buddha and become a tortoise, there will be no hope for us to return to Beijing. The Donglin Giant Buddha must be built. Even if it is to be destroyed, it will be destroyed after the construction is completed. It will be destroyed after we take the credit."
After returning to Beijing."
The whole place was silent.
Ouyang Rong suddenly said: "Actually, that's not necessarily the case. There is another way to return to Beijing, but it cannot be used unless it is a last resort."
"What method?"
Ouyang Rong shook his head and said nothing, as if he was still thinking and weighing.
Li Bao'er glanced sideways frequently, wanting to ask clearly.
This is what Lu Ya said:
"The main purpose of Pindao's visit this time is to inform the matter. Her Royal Highness the little princess and Mr. Ouyang just need to know the specific pros and cons. Pindao is not good at weighing the specific pros and cons. Pindao will stay these days. If you need to do something, please tell me directly.
Just be a poor person."
Ouyang Rong, Li Guo'er, and Xie Lingjiang looked at each other and nodded:
"good."
The discussion in the study room ended and everyone dispersed.
Xie Lingjiang slowed down a step, and after Ouyang Rong and Lu Ya walked out of the study, he suddenly pulled Li Guo'er.
The two women stopped and stayed.
Ouyang Rong and Lu Ya didn't pay attention to this and went downstairs together.
Lu Ya suddenly said:
"Mr. Ouyang, have you ever seen a thing called Yun Meng Ling?"
Ouyang Rong said calmly: "Brother Lu, why are you asking this?" After a pause, he informed: "The Supervisory Yuan has confiscated this item and I have seen it before."
Lu Ya hesitated for a moment and said directly:
"There is something fishy about this object. Yunmeng Jianze is distributing this object widely. It may be related to this operation against the Giant Buddha. Since you are inclined to help the Giant Buddha be built, you must make preparations in advance.
"Yunmeng Jianze must act decisively this time, without any reservations. Well, no matter what, Pindao and Benshan Patriarch Hall will definitely do their best to protect the prince."
Ouyang Rong asked: "What is the explanation for this thing?"
Lu Ya pondered:
"The secret that Pindao found out from the Patriarch Hall is that the Yunmeng Order can generally only be issued by Yuan Jun or the first heir Yue Chuzi. This thing is vaguely related to a legendary formation, and this formation seems to be
It involves the entire Tiannan realm."
"What kind of formation has such a wide range? What is its use?"
"I don't know, according to some isolated ancient books collected by Maoshan Ancestral Master Hall, there are fragments in them that reveal that this formation was set up by a very early group of Yunmeng Yue girls. It is impossible to say that it can be traced back to the first generation of Yue virgins... and as Yuanjun's first
The heir's virginity seems to be the most important part of this formation... I just don't know if this formation is still there after so many years."
Ouyang Rong's pupils shrank slightly, "Is it involving a virgin?"
The two looked at each other in silence.
Saying goodbye to Lu Ya, Ouyang Rong immediately returned to the Huaiye Lane mansion.
As soon as he entered Yinbingzhai's study, he immediately found a bronze dagger. After sitting down, he lowered his head and looked at the object carefully.
At a certain moment, Ouyang Rong had a sudden idea and tried to inject some spiritual energy into the bronze vessel.
The dark blue spiritual energy that is close to the eighth level of perfection is sucked in silkily as soon as it touches the bronze dagger.
Ouyang Rong was surprised: "It's really good..."
He immediately closed his eyes, and the blue light of spiritual energy that flashed on the back of his hand became more intense and disappeared into the bronze dagger.
Time passed minute by minute.
The bronze dagger made no movement.
He closed his eyes and frowned gradually.
Finally, he reluctantly opened his eyes and put down Yun Meng Ling.
No matter how much spiritual energy was injected into it, the bronze dagger remained motionless, just like throwing a stone into the abyss.
Ouyang Rong stared at the bronze dagger on the table, and a line of inscriptions came into view again.
"If you fight with the evil dragon for too long, you will turn into an evil dragon... If you stare at Mengyuan for too long, Mengyuan will stare back?"
