Chapter 692: The light and dark attack first, the style of a big woman [asking for monthly votes]
"Where's the junior sister?"
In Prince Xunyang's Mansion, Ouyang Rong just walked into the study and suddenly turned around and asked.
"Well, niece Xie Xian seems to be unwell. She didn't come tonight. She said she had something to do. Let's discuss the results and arrangements of our discussion first and let Guo'er go back and report them."
Li Xian and Li Dalang looked at each other and replied.
Ouyang Rong was quiet for a while and looked around the study.
Wei Mei and Li Guo'er's two daughters were waiting, but the junior sister was nowhere to be seen.
There are a few empty chairs in the study room, which should be reserved for them. The tea in other seats has been brewed, and it is not known which of the mother and daughter poured it.
However, those who are lucky enough to enter this study to discuss matters will be lucky enough to taste the tea art of Her Royal Highnesses the Princess and the Little Princess.
"Tanlang?"
Li Fusu saw Ouyang Rong's expression of silence and trance, and couldn't help but call out.
"Um."
Ouyang Rong woke up and walked into the study.
He did not sit down, but stood in front of everyone, picked up the tea, and took a sip first.
Li Xian asked with a worried look:
"Tan Lang, before you came, I heard someone say that there was an announcement from your Jiangzhou lobby, asking everyone to stay away from Xunyang City in the near future, and not to go near the peaks of Shuangfeng. It was said that there was a danger of flooding.
, and also said that the construction of Xunyang Grottoes might be affected, so the work was suspended for ten days. Is this true?"
Ouyang Rong nodded:
"This is true, and I had people draw up and publish the announcement."
"Tan Lang, what does this mean?"
Everyone was puzzled.
Ouyang Rong whispered:
"Rong Zhen proposed a special plan to me a few days ago."
"Special plan? So these things today are all part of it?"
"That's right."
Li Guoer suddenly asked:
"Will the Giant Buddha be postponed for ten days, or will it be quietly completed within ten days of the arrival of the 'flood' and the government's control?"
The study fell into silence.
Li Xian, Li Fusu and Wei Mei reacted and turned to look at Ouyang Rong's expression.
I saw him say somewhat calmly:
"When I come back from there this time, at the end of ten days, the situation in the Xunyang Grottoes will be basically settled. Your Highness, Prince, Crown Prince, and Little Princess will be waiting with peace of mind, and I will not let you down."
After hearing the words "the dust has settled", Li Baoer understood clearly and asked no more questions.
Li Fusu frowned and thought carefully.
Li Xian and Wei Mei looked at each other with worry in their eyes.
"Tanlang, please be safe. Is this trip going to be close to ten days and you won't be able to return to the city?"
"Well, during the period, the area between the Twin Peaks will be sealed off. No fly can fly out, and naturally no one can go out."
"Okay, Tanlang, please pay attention to your safety."
At this moment, Ouyang Rong curiously pointed to the flower and bird screen inside the bookstore.
The flower and bird screen faintly divides the study into two halves.
He curiously asked: "Who gave me this screen? Will the prince buy this?"
Li Guoer nodded:
"This is a new gift from my princess to my father. How do you like it? Does it look good?"
Ouyang Rong shook his head and said calmly:
"While I am away, Liulang will be responsible for reporting to the prince and understanding the situation in the city.
"In addition, I have also arranged an escape route. I have secretly prepared a boat at Xunyangdu, and the retreat route has also been planned, so that I can pick you up and leave if I have to..."
Ouyang Rong was talking eloquently, and Li Xian, Li Guo'er and others couldn't help but look sideways.
"Finally, one more thing."
Ouyang Rong put down his teacup and spoke.
Li Xian seemed to know what the previous sentence meant, and he continued to ask:
"Please tell me, what other arrangements does Tanlang have?"
"Transfer Li Congshan and Miaozhen. They cannot stay in Prince Xunyang's Mansion, especially when I am not around."
Everyone frowned and looked at Ouyang Rong, who was a little bold:
"But they are under the emperor's order. Is it inappropriate to forcibly transfer them?"
Ouyang Rong whispered:
"What's wrong? Even if we ask Luoyang for instructions, it will take time on the road. Leave a lot of time for us to find a suitable excuse.
"Well, let's transfer them tonight. I have brought the official seal of the governor, and the prince has also taken out the seal of the prince. Let's distribute the handwritten souvenirs. If they dare to disobey the order, if they don't obey, there is something evil, and they will naturally be dealt with.
their methods.
"In fact, I have talked with Rong Nushi about this matter in advance. One thing that has been determined is that she can acquiesce in the blockade of Shuangfeng Peak this time. Li Congshan and others returned to the grotto, just like me. In addition, I went there
The time can be a little more tolerant..."
Ouyang Rong finished speaking in detail.
Li Xian's family listened carefully.
After finishing speaking, Ouyang Rong put down his teacup, said goodbye and left:
"It's getting late. I have to report to Xunyang Grottoes early tomorrow morning, so I'll go back first."
"good."
"Tanlang, pay attention to the night road."
In a hurry, he never sat down from beginning to end.
Everyone watched his slender figure go away.
"Tanlang, wait a minute."
Li Dalang suddenly called to Ouyang Rong.
The latter's back paused slightly and did not look back:
"What's the matter?"
Li Dalang stared at Ouyang Rong's back for a while and asked:
"Isn't it also very dangerous for you to go and station yourself at Xunyang Grottoes this time? You may face those rebels in Tiannan Jianghu at any time?"
Ouyang Rong shook his head:
"Little things, what is supposed to come will always come.
"Da Lang, you, Junior Sister, and Chief Lu will stay in the palace and protect the prince and princess. Don't worry about things outside. I will be here."
Li Dalang knew what his friend meant by asking him to protect him. He took a deep breath and words came to his throat. He was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Guo'er beside him.
Ouyang Rong strode away.
There were only people left in the study who were worried.
Ouyang Rong walked out of the palace gate and before getting in the car, he glanced at the red lantern at the door.
I hesitated for a moment and didn't go to her.
Glancing at the deep night, he lowered his eyes slightly and boarded the carriage.
He took out a full sword box, placed it across his knees, and sat up.
At a certain moment, he whispered:
"Emperor Wen...Emperor Wen...What is Emperor Wen...The Lotus Boat Song that is missing in the sword technique was hidden somewhere by that old senior..."
Not long after, Ouyang Rong looked at the Xunyang Grottoes in the distance, his eyes lit up again.
"Go back to the Huaiye Lane mansion first."
"Yes, sir."
…
"He's gone, why don't you come out?"
Inside the empty study room.
Only the figure of the little girl with plum blossom makeup in a pale pink skirt was left.
Li Xian and everyone else have left.
Li Bao'er lowered his head and put away the tea bowl before speaking.
I saw a little girl in red walking out from behind the screen.
Li Guo'er saw that Xie Lingjiang's face was in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Guoer asked calmly:
"You haven't seen him yet? He's leaving."
Xie Lingjiang said: "Just go to Xunyang Grottoes, not far."
Li Guoer pointed out:
"But it's very dangerous. Who knows if there will be a fight between the two sides within ten days, and he will be left alone there."
Li Guo'er caught a glimpse of the Xie family sister's jade hand placed on her abdomen seeming to tremble when she was sitting upright, and a look of worry appeared on her face as she hesitated to speak, mixed with looks of loss and regret...
The expression on his face became more and more complex.
"Go if you want to. If you are hesitant, even if you believe he can come back safely, what if it happens? Can you bet on it?"
"I didn't want to say anything about this nonsense between you two, but I just don't want to see such stubborn people like you. You are so stubborn and hesitant in doing things. How can you be so entangled? Just love when you love and hate when you hate. Isn't it very simple?
?”
Xie Lingjiang pursed his lips:
"I don't want to see him."
Li Guo'er praised: "Okay, then we won't see you again. We won't see you for the rest of our lives. That's good."
"No, I just don't want to see him now because I'm afraid I can't help but beat him."
Li Guo'er still nodded: "Okay, I won't see you now, we'll talk about it later."
Xie Lingjiang suddenly asked with a sense of loss:
"Tell me, should I see him just now?"
Li Guo'er's pretty face couldn't hold back at all:
"Whatever you like."
Xie Lingjiang shook his head: "You don't understand."
"I don't understand? I...that's right. I don't understand men, but I know how to make myself feel at ease."
"What kind of relaxation method?"
Li Guoer waved his sleeves indifferently:
"I'm different from you. I think it doesn't matter if a man has more than one house and concubines. None of the great men in the history books had three wives and four concubines, but it doesn't prevent them from being remembered in history. It can be seen that outstanding men always have more beauties.
, the peach blossoms also prove that they are indeed excellent, otherwise why are so many women competing for it...
"Of course, I said it casually. I don't know if it's right or not. Knowing that I think so, I naturally tolerate it and treat it as normal, but I feel..."
"What do you think?"
"You are a bit petty. Besides, the embroiderer girl was the one who came first. Strictly speaking, you are the one who met Ouyang Lianghan later, so there is nothing to argue with."
Xie Lingjiang immediately said: "I don't blame Sister Xiu Niang."
"Then who do you blame? Ouyang Lianghan."
Xie Lingjiang didn't answer. He was quiet for a while and said softly:
"There is some truth to what you said."
Li Guo'er asked with a smile: "Just a trace?"
Xie Lingjiang pursed her lips and looked at the night in the distance.
At this time, she heard the little girl with plum blossom makeup next to her muttering:
"Actually, every time I hear you talk about this, I feel that you are the one who screwed me up a lot. Ouyang Lianghan didn't do much, but for your thoughtful actions, he seems to be a good man..."
Xie Lingjiang asked: "What did you say?"
"nothing."
Li Bao'er clapped her hands, twisted her waist and left.
In the spare time, Xie Lingjiang sat alone.
…
Before dawn, Ouyang Rong arrived at the quiet courtyard.
At night, he returned to the Huaiye Lane mansion and made arrangements for his aunt and others to pack up and pay tribute in advance, and be ready to leave Xunyang City with the people from the palace and leave by boat at any time.
Ouyang Rong took a deep breath.
Entering the quiet courtyard.
"Ah?"
Zhao Qingxiu was in the room, seeming a little confused about his arrival in the early morning.
Ouyang Rong smiled and ate breakfast porridge with her.
There was no mention of the Xunyang Grottoes during the whole process.
"I may have to go out to do some errands. I will come back in about ten days. The embroiderer will wait for me. Mrs. Pei will come over to accompany you every day."
"Um."
After a pause, Zhao Qingxiu took the initiative to write:
[It’s been a few days. How is Sister Xie doing? Has Tan Lang talked to her, and has he coaxed her well?
Ouyang Rong was silent for a while and said:
"Come on, she's busy lately, and I'm busy too. Wait until I finish the things in front of me, okay."
"Um."
Zhao Qingxiu responded with a curious look on her face.
[Why is it so urgent? I have to leave right away]
Ouyang Rong glanced at Xiu Niang who seemed to be ignorant. After a while, he took a bite of food for her and chuckled:
"Small things will be easy once they are done, and then there will be my aunt's birthday party..."
Zhao Qingxiu didn't ask any more questions and listened carefully.
After a while, after the embroiderer was settled, Ouyang Rong left the yard and strode away.
The courtyard became quiet.
After dawn, the first ray of light fell on the river.
Zhao Qingxiu tidied up the yard, washed her clothes, carried the bucket, and prepared to go to the clothesline to dry them.
At this time, she suddenly heard a rhythmic knock on the door.
Zhao Qingxiu immediately walked over and opened the courtyard door.
There was a familiar feminine scent coming to my face.
Zhao Qingxiu couldn't help but tilt her head.
"Err?"
"Well, it's me." After a pause: "Has sister eaten?"
Xie Lingjiang at the door said the first words.
Zhao Qingxiu nodded immediately: "Yes."
"Then I haven't eaten yet, please make some for me."
Saying that, Xie Lingjiang lowered his head and walked into the courtyard without being polite at all.
But Zhao Qingxiu was a little surprised and hurried to the kitchen.
"Uh-huh."
Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but tell him: "Be gentle and don't fall. Forget it, or I'll do it."
Of course Zhao Qingxiu would not let Xie Lingjiang cook in person, so she gently pushed her out of the kitchen.
The latter didn't force it either.
When Zhao Qingxiu came out with hot porridge, she noticed that Sister Xie seemed to be helping her dry her clothes.
Zhao Qingxiu stopped silently.
Xie Lingjiang turned his back to her, stood on tiptoe to dry the clothes, and suddenly asked:
"Is he gone?"
"Um."
Zhao Qingxiu felt that Sister Xie stopped talking, and seemed a little disappointed and... regretful.
After a while, Zhao Qingxiu heard her cheering up tone again.
"I've hung up your clothes for you. Come on, let's eat porridge."
The two girls sat at the table. Xie Lingjiang lowered his head to drink porridge and tasted the familiar Donglin Temple pickled radish, which Ouyang Rong brought back from Longcheng last time.
Halfway through the meal, the girl in the red dress suddenly raised her hand and brushed the hair beside the ear of the blindfolded girl in the white dress.
Zhao Qingxiu was a little shy, but then she heard her light words:
"I'm here to help you collect your clothes these days, but when he comes back, don't mention anything about me and just pretend I didn't come, you know."
Zhao Qingxiu was quiet for a moment, nodded in agreement, lowered her head again and couldn't help but smile. However, after noticing the angry look in Sister Xie's eyes, she tried her best to suppress the corner of her lips, stretched out a small hand, and gently
He tugged at the cuffs of the stern-faced Xie Lingjiang.
Gradually, the two women below, who were pulling their sleeves, held their hands together.
