"How long have you been waiting for Rong Nu Shi?"
"I have something to do that delayed me for half an hour. Well, I sent someone to inform you. Rong Nu Shi should have received the news. Why were you waiting on the roadside just now?"
"Rong Nu Shi, please walk slowly..."
In the morning, there was heavy fog.
The hazy water mist from the Yangtze River envelopes the entire twin peaks.
An official road outside the two peaks is heavily guarded.
Elite soldiers in white robes and armor can be seen everywhere on the roadside. They either patrol in groups, or occupy high terrain and keep secret sentries.
This official road leads to the Xunyang Grottoes inside the Shuangfeng Peak. In the past, no one cared about it, but today it is blocked, blocking all outsiders. Even if government officials or teams need to enter the Shuangfeng Peak, they must be strictly inspected.
Ouyang Rong, who came from Xunyang City as scheduled, saw a familiar figure of a girl in palace clothes in front of him as soon as he got off the carriage.
She was surrounded by a group of female Oversight Council officials and White Tiger Guard generals, standing by the roadside in their sleeves.
The surrounding mountains and forests were filled with mist, and Rong Zhen's young and beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, waiting in the cold.
Seeing Ouyang Rong arriving, she turned around and walked inside.
Ouyang Rong got out of the car with a piano case in his arms, and his movements were a little slow. Seeing this, he turned around and told Ali, and then chased after him with the piano case in his arms.
Ouyang Rong asked a few questions curiously, but Rong Zhen walked forward quickly without saying a word.
Ali and the carriage stayed outside the Shuangfeng Peak, and were led by a gentle female officer to the stables of the military camp stationed nearby.
Rong Zhen had come out early and was waiting eagerly by the official road. Several female officials of the Supervisory Council and the generals of the White Tiger Guard who were strictly guarding the checkpoint were still a little puzzled. They frequently looked sideways, wondering why this stern and demanding female historian came out to bask in the sun.
Seeing this scene, they immediately stared at Ouyang Rong, who was wearing a crimson official uniform, without even checking Ouyang Rong, and let him chase after him...
"How is the situation here, Rong Nu Shi."
Rong Zhen in front did not answer.
Ouyang Rong took two quick steps forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with her, turning his head frequently to look at the profile of the girl in palace attire.
Rong Zhen never looked at him.
Ouyang Rong looked a little embarrassed:
"Sorry for keeping Rong Nu Shi waiting for so long."
She said calmly: "I just came, I didn't wait."
"Then I shouldn't be late."
"It's okay. You sent someone to inform me. It's a great honor for me. I'm honored."
"Don't talk like that, Rong Nu Shi, I feel guilty."
"Don't feel guilty. You are Ouyang Lianghan, a bachelor of the Xiuwen Museum. Why are you late? Let's just say haha and let it go. Who dares to hold on and hold on to you? It's shameless. I'll teach you a lesson."
"..."
Ouyang Rong felt a little guilty:
"Rong Nu Shi is joking."
Rong Zhen suddenly turned around and looked into his eyes.
"You brought quite a lot of gadgets. No wonder you came so late. You must have been saying goodbye to your little lovers. Your thoughts are all on them. You have amulets and skirt-pressing knives. You are really in love with your concubine.
, it seems that everything has been coaxed?"
Ouyang Rong subconsciously touched the skirt knife and amulet at his waist:
"Ms. Shi, is this what you're talking about?"
Rong Zhen didn't even look at these two things, without squinting, he interrupted and said:
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, get on the boat and cross the river. When you get to the north bank, prepare for a body search."
Ouyang Rong looked up and found that at this moment, the two of them happened to pass through a dense forest. The river breeze blew in their faces, and their vision suddenly became clearer.
The two peaks were divided into North Peak and South Peak after a Xunyang River tributary was opened from the middle. In the middle is a river tributary that is beneficial for flood discharge.
The Xunyang Grottoes are built on the north bank, backed by the rocks of the North Peak. The giant Buddha faces north and south, facing the Xunyang City below.
Ouyang Rong left the city from the west gate and now reached the south bank, where he needed to cross the river.
I saw a ship moored at the ferry on the south bank, with several female officers standing guard beside the ship.
Looking around, there is not a single sail on the river where the early morning fog remains.
Ever since Rong Zhen led the female officials of the Supervisory Yuan to take over the Xunyang Grottoes, the Shuangfengjian ferry crossing has been closed, and no outsiders are allowed to park, unless they are for statues and supplies.
"Um."
Ouyang Rong followed Rong Zhen onto the boat.
The female officer guarding the ship did not board the ship. There were only Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen on the ship.
Before Ouyang Rong could react, the boat had already turned on its own and sailed towards the north shore at a slightly faster speed.
Rong Zhen ignored Ouyang Rong and stood at the bow of the boat.
There were neither sails nor oars, and it was not known what kind of power propelled the ship.
Ouyang Rong, who sat down with the piano case in his arms, glanced at Rong Zhen's embroidered shoes that were in contact with the surface of the boat.
Ouyang Rong's attention did not stay on this for too long.
He raised his head and looked at the majestic Buddha in the grotto on the north bank.
Through the hazy mist on the river, you can vaguely see the headless giant Buddha, sitting with its back against the stone wall of the north cliff. It is a bit deserted. There are no workers on the giant Buddha who used to build the ant attached building in the past. It seems that the work has stopped.
But at this moment, Ouyang Rong glanced at the surrounding river a few times.
He discovered that he and the small boat under Rong Zhen's feet were not the only ones on the river.
In the white mist on the river, there are several official ships whose distance is difficult to determine.
On the official ship, there were faint figures of soldiers in black robes and black armor.
They were from the Xuanwu Guards that Wei Mi was in charge of commanding.
"arrive."
Rong Zhen said suddenly.
Ouyang Rong looked across the line of sight and noticed a land suddenly emerging from the white mist. When he reacted, the ship under his feet had already hit the dock on the shore.
"Rong Zhennv Shi, why did it take you so long to pick someone up? If you don't come back, I will think you have encountered a rebel."
On the North Shore Pier, a tall and indifferent woman in white armor walked out.
Rong Zhen lowered his eyes and didn't answer.
Ouyang Rong handed the piano case to her casually, and Rong Zhen took it and held it in his arms.
The two of them have been learning piano recently and often bring this thing with them.
Ouyang Rong looked at Yi Qianqiu and cast his eyes behind her.
Densely packed white-armored soldiers stood on the pier, all silent and solemn. The white robes and armor they wore faintly blended into the white mist, as if they had transformed into the background.
However, the white tiger masks on their faces, the tiger mouth showing fangs, curved downward.
If you don't look carefully, they seem unhappy.
The entire dock is strictly guarded by White Tiger Guards.
"I'm offended by Governor Ouyang. Although you and your people built the grotto, it has been fully taken over by us since last night. You will also need to be searched when you enter the grotto."
Yi Qianqiu spoke lukewarmly, and a White Tiger soldier immediately stepped forward beside him and inspected Ouyang Rong.
Ouyang Rong waved his hand:
"I'll do it myself."
As he spoke, he took the initiative to pull out the skirt knife, illuminated the blade, untied the amulet, and signaled to the searching female officers around him.
"Open this and take a look."
Yi Qianqiu pointed to the piano case in Rong Zhen's arms.
"This is for my piano lessons."
Rong Zhen shook his head, but still handed it over casually.
Yi Qianqiu took it personally and walked aside.
"Qin? Why is it so heavy inside?"
Ouyang Rong didn't answer.
Yi Qianqiu opened the piano case, looked down and looked slightly stunned.
Several female investigators behind her were also stunned.
"What's this?"
Yi Qianqiu took out a can of chicken soup, two bowls of sesame soup, and four still-warm pancakes from the piano case, and looked at the two of them with a slightly strange expression:
"You two are learning piano, and the food is pretty good."
A blush suddenly appeared on Rong Zhen's pretty face, and she turned back to glare at Ouyang Rong.
"Can you finish eating outside? Why are you bringing me here? Can you be more serious? This time you are here for business."
Ouyang Rong coughed.
After a while, Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen each tasted the soup cakes and were let in.
It was just a routine inspection, but it was a little stricter. These days, even Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen had to follow the regulations.
After leaving the North Shore Pier, Rong Zhen turned back angrily, seemingly complaining:
"Don't bring it next time. You don't think it's embarrassing, but I think it's embarrassing. I'm the governor of Jiangzhou and I bring breakfast when I come to do business..."
Rong Zhen paused and found that Ouyang Rong's eyes passed over her head and landed on the giant Buddha in the grotto not far away.
When Rong Zhen saw this, his expression was not surprised.
She waited for a while.
Ouyang Rong withdrew his gaze and said apologetically:
"Rong Nu Shi called me last night, but I wasn't ready, so I postponed it until the morning. I was a little embarrassed, so I asked my aunt to stew some soup. In addition, before leaving the city in the morning, I happened to pass by the breakfast shop where I often eat, so I bought some
I ordered sesame soup and pancakes without thinking much about it. How could I know that you are so strict and we all have to be searched..."
Rong Zhen pursed his lips and said nothing, snorted softly, said "I won't do it next time", and turned around.
Ouyang Rong's eyes immediately fell on the Donglin Giant Buddha in front of him, and his eyes looked straight at it.
Rong Zhen in front asked with a chuckle:
"how?"
Ouyang Rong nodded:
"sharp."
In front of him, the interior of Xunyang Grottoes was extremely noisy, with a huge flow of people and a lively atmosphere.
The quiet atmosphere when crossing the river on the shore was gone. I don't know how these sounds could not be transmitted. It turned out that I could only hear them when I walked into the grotto.
What is even more surprising is that not long ago, when Ouyang Rong was looking at the distant river, the headless Buddha that was standing still was now covered with dense figures, working overtime to carve and construct the statue.
The distance is different and what you see is different.
It's a completely different scene.
Rong Zhen said calmly:
"When it comes to formations, we, the Yin Yang family, are the ancestors, and their Yunmeng Jianze is not worthy of carrying shoes for Si Tianjian.
"However, thanks to the help of Xuanwu Guard."
Ouyang Rong thought of those foggy boats on the river and asked:
"The Xuanwu Guards can also set up formations? Did they create that white mist? Is this blinding method from your Si Tianjian or the White Tiger Guards? How many formations are there? With the blinding method set up and can isolate the sound, what else can be done?
?”
Rong Zhen snorted coldly: "I remember that someone seems to have failed our confidential investigation. Well, I won't comment."
Ouyang Rong laughed and clasped his fists.
After burning incense, Rong Zhen took Ouyang Rong to a bamboo forest.
Stop in front of a secluded bamboo house:
"This place is shabby. It's a little shabby. You live here first and tidy up. I live next to it. It's very close. It's next door. If you need anything, please contact me."
"good."
Before leaving, Rong Zhen politely took away the chicken soup and sesame soup, and said casually:
"I happen to be hungry. Let's learn the piano in the afternoon. From now on, we will do it in the afternoon. We will try to finish it before the completion of the Buddha. Within ten days."
"OK."
Rong Zhen took a few steps forward and suddenly said without looking back:
"Ouyang Lianghan, I won't eat for nothing. After I finish the work, I will take you to see something. Consider it a gift. You will like it."
"What gift?"
"We'll wait until it's completed... In the past few days, I suddenly understand why you like this kind of construction that benefits the country and the people. The moment it was completed, it really made people yearn for it, and the sense of accomplishment was unparalleled."
Rong Zhen muttered a few words, then Shi Shiran left.
Ouyang Rong stayed in the house, tidied up, and changed out of his crimson official uniform into a comfortable blue Confucian shirt.
He sat cross-legged in front of the door and looked around the small courtyard.
He patted the dust on his sleeves and slowly closed his eyes.
Towards the south bank, beside the stable of a certain military camp outside the peaks of Shuangfeng, a piano case was rattling in a carriage.
There is a faint sound of swords.
Under the eaves, a smile appeared on Ouyang Rong's lips.
The distance is just right, at the edge of the maximum distance he can recall [Craftsmanship].
This is the expanded sword control range after the sword wielder's Dao Channel is promoted to the seventh level. It can recall the tripod sword and protect the sword owner.
In addition, there is one thing that Rong Zhen, Yi Qianqiu and others may not be clear about:
This Xunyang Grottoes, and even the entire twin peaks, were planned and constructed from scratch by Ouyang Rong.
They are laymen who don't know how much insight they can have as founders.
At the beginning, he didn't know how many field trips he made, and he didn't know how many sketches of various terrains he drew up all night long.
These days, Wang Caozhi supervises the construction of the Buddha on his behalf, and under his strict command, details are reported every day...
All in all, it can be said that when Ouyang Rong returned to Shuangfeng Peak, he felt as familiar as returning home.
Except for the golden Buddha head that has always been unapproachable, no one knows the twin peaks and the Donglin Buddha better than him.
This is no joke.
Including the defensive positions and card positions of Yi Qianqiu and the White Tiger Guards that he saw along the way today, with a calm look on his face, Ouyang Rong had a good guess.
Because there are only so many places in total, where is suitable for setting up defenses and cards, where is suitable for open and hidden sentries... It is almost a standard answer, and it is generally correct.
Unless Yi Qianqiu and other generals are rookies in the military and spread the word randomly, there will be no solution, but it is obviously not the case.
So Ouyang Rong was a little bored after walking all the way in the morning, seeing and hearing what he saw and heard. Along the way, he used his mind to sense and silently calculate the range of recalling the [Craftsman's Work], roughly including the locations in the Xunyang Grottoes.
Of course, it is not that there is no interest at all. For example, the blinding formations arranged by Rong Zhen and Si Tianjian are quite interesting.
But it's not unexpected, because a few days ago, on the day Rong Zhen met Xiu Niang, he had already told him about this special plan.
It's just that Ouyang Rong didn't expect Rong Zhen to implement it so quickly and do it as he said. The female historian acted resolutely and very efficiently.
In addition to calculating the furthest distance to summon [Craftsman] along the way, Ouyang Rong also rehearsed two "tactical transition" retreat routes in his mind.
There was nothing he could do about it. The old six-style sword wielder had been fooled too many times. He always subconsciously felt that he was being deceived and that someone wanted to kill him. Especially when he was around a certain female historian who had been persecuted, he became even more cautious.
Well, haven't you seen that Ouyang Rong always follows the cold and cold girl in palace clothes? At most, he walks side by side and never shows his back to her, just because he is afraid of turning around one day and seeing her "smile"...
Ouyang Rong let out a long breath.
At present, everyone has expected everything, but the gift that Rong Zhen just mentioned...
There was some confusion on his face.
"A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea."
He muttered:
"I hope it's a surprise and not a shock..."
