Chapter 748 Rong Zhen: A lewd thief is easy to catch, but a good man is hard to coax (please read the supplement)
A high platform at the foot of the towering Buddha statue.
Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen looked at each other, and the palms under their sleeves kept making small movements of turning the beads.
He kept his eyes fixed, smiled, and said:
"I have not forgotten that I have already been counted among the handful of masters from the world of Tiannan who may be accompanying Xuezhongzhu and Yu Nianyuan."
Rong Zhen stared at Ouyang Rong's face for a moment, then calmly shook his head:
"No, this person must be listed separately and dealt with individually."
Ouyang Rong waved his sleeves and said in a loud voice:
"But I heard that this kind of sword-wielding person is as weak as paper. We just need to prevent this little thief from sneaking into the main grotto to deploy the sword safely. The main grotto has a wide view, and General Yi and more than a thousand white tiger guards are guarding it.
, and based on the experience last time, we have set up hidden sentries everywhere, and there will be no similar mistakes like 'the sword hides the Buddha's head'. How can he get close to the cloth sword?"
Except for Rong Zhen, everyone nodded in approval.
Rong Zhen shook his head alone and insisted:
"No, my point of view is different from yours. I feel that the owner of Dielianhua is more dangerous than Yun Mengling and Peach Blossom Spring Tu, and even as dangerous as the candle in the snow.
"Don't forget, last time in Xingzifang, he took action at the last moment, destroying the Buddha and killing Lin Cheng and the others with a thunderous strike. This is not a coincidence, it was because he didn't pay enough attention that time."
Rong Zhen took a deep breath, and Ouyang Rong looked sideways and saw that the cheeks of her small face were slightly bulging, and combined with the little pink baby fat on the girl's cheeks, she looked like a vengeful little hamster.
"Don't forget, he has proven that he has the potential to be a legendary sword holder. Sword holders are rare, and legendary sword holders are rare even once in a hundred years. This time, he happened to fall into the hands of a man with despicable character.
You have to be even more careful when dealing with adulterous thieves.
"You may not feel it deeply, but every time I fight with him, you can find that he has become very different. Of course, one thing remains unchanged, that is, he is despicable and shameless. In addition, he is extremely cunning.
There are a lot of tricks, and the ways to break the game are hard to guard against... This kind of growth is too fast."
When she spoke, her eyes were calm and cold, but her words became more and more serious:
"Even if we now think that he can't break through the moves and think that everything has blocked his way, for a legendary swordsman, we must not use common sense to figure it out. We are brainstorming to optimize the layout, and he is also making preparations secretly.
, is not necessarily worse than us, a arrogant soldier will be defeated.
"The most important thing is that the enemy is in the dark and we are clear. This point is placed on the sword holder, and the advantage is greater. Once he succeeds in deploying the sword in a weird way, we will not die but will also be injured. Therefore, I feel that this time, we cannot
It would be too passive to wait for him to show up on his own initiative, we have to take the initiative.
"Therefore, I personally believe that he should be listed as the first-level danger, alongside Xuezhongzhu, and a separate plan should be formulated to deal with it."
Rong Zhen finished speaking as slowly as he poured beans out of a bamboo tube. In the middle, everyone who originally had objections and hesitated to speak swallowed his words.
Everyone couldn't help but nod in approval, Ouyang Rong was the first to nod, and asked calmly:
"Okay, just target this person, come up with two plans, one overt and one covert, and let's discuss how to..."
Rong Zhen suddenly waved his hand and interrupted his words:
"No need, I have already prepared ways to deal with this person, so I don't need to trouble you anymore."
Without waiting for Ouyang Rong to question, Yi Qianqiu had already spoken first:
"What method? How many manpower are needed?"
Aunt Song and others also cast inquiring glances at Rong Zhen.
Ouyang Rong glanced around the field with his peripheral vision and found that their expressions were also surprised and confused.
This shows that Rong Zhen’s preparations were not only not informed to Ouyang Rong in advance, but also not informed to them or everyone before!
It was not until now that the important moment was approaching that the public notice was made.
Rong Zhen still had a calm expression, nodded, and slid a string of white jade beads from his wrist, imitating Ouyang Rong, and gently turned them in his palms.
Facing everyone's gaze, she said calmly:
"The manpower has been arranged, Commander Yi, don't worry, we won't draw from your existing troops. I will be solely responsible for this matter."
"What manpower?"
Rong Zhen glanced at Duan Quanwu.
Ouyang Rong and Yi Qianqiu also looked over immediately.
I saw this martial artist, whose face had been gloomy all morning, sneered and geared up:
"The general said before that wherever the owner of Dielianhua is, he will be sent there. The general will take a good look at him. Thank you Rong Nu Shi for giving me the opportunity."
"Act as ordered and cooperate with me. If you dare to act on your own initiative, Commander Yi will not be able to protect you."
Rong Zhen looked indifferent and warned.
Duan Quanwu smiled sarcastically and nodded heavily:
"Understand that for what happened in Hukou County, I will eventually have a share of the responsibility. Now I have to pay for my crimes and make meritorious services."
"It's good to know."
Rong Zhen snorted coldly, then suddenly turned around and said to Ouyang Rong:
"Ouyang Lianghan, we haven't finished talking about the deployment of defense just now. We haven't talked about the arrangements between me and General Duan yet."
Ouyang Rong chuckled and spoke loudly:
"It's specifically designed to deal with the owner of Die Lianhua, right? Rong Nu Shi and General Duan personally take action. It's really appropriate and good. It seems that kid can't escape."
As the young governor spoke, he nodded with a determined expression. Well, he should be happy for his good colleagues and good partners.
"That's right, as long as he comes, he can't escape within the boundaries of Xunyang City. But before I talk about this, I have to tell you about the Big Buddha. In fact, today, I, Senior Song, and even Mr. Yu
, are not the highlight. All the defenses at the Twin Peaks today are centered around the giant Buddha you built. It is today’s protagonist, the final important weapon of the country..."
At this point, Rong Zhen paused. Her petite body looked up at the majestic Buddha and the lotus inscription. She sighed:
"Ouyang Lianghan, you don't know the significance of what we have done these days. I often stand here and look at them these days. I can't help but take a few more glances. You and I secretly built it.
Japan, I am really happy and have a sense of accomplishment, but you seem to be very busy, busy going back to the city...
"Speaking of which, this is something Lin Cheng wanted to do but has not yet done. This giant Buddha will be remembered by many people. It will live with the Zhou Dynasty and solve the current thief problem in Tiannan, which is also the biggest instability factor in Jiangnan.
…
"Future generations will remember us not only because of this circle of lotus stone carvings."
Rong Zhen's tone was firm and affirmative.
Ouyang Rong smiled and said:
"The Donglin Giant Buddha also involves a formation, right?
"Well, coincidentally, isn't it true that the Songde Tianshu and the other three Buddha statues of the Great Zhou Dynasty are also like this? They are not just simple statues?"
Rong Zhen sighed softly:
"That's right, that's right. Ouyang Lianghan, you have guessed it a long time ago. You are always like this. You are too smart, so there are some things that I don't want to say clearly. It's good that we maintain a tacit understanding... But now I have agreed
You, I will not break my promise."
A serious look appeared on her little face and she asked:
"Ouyang Lianghan, do you know [Emperor Wen]?"
"Someone heard that this sword was made by Sui. The book said that Da Sui was destroyed. After Emperor Taizong Wen obtained it, he hid it and established an ancestral precept not to allow future generations of royal heirs to use it..."
Aunt Song interrupted forcefully:
"That is the law of the previous royal family and their ancestors. Don't use it to suppress the monarch of this dynasty."
She corrected Ouyang Rong.
Rong Zhen pursed his lower lip:
"Emperor Taizong Wen is worthy of admiration, but it is indeed the past of the previous dynasty. Now the current situation in this dynasty requires it. For the sake of the country and the people of the world, the saint has ordered Si Tianjian to unseal this legendary tripod sword."
Ouyang Rong was not annoyed, nodded and said:
"Oh, so this formation is related to [Emperor Wen]?"
"That's right."
Rong Zhen narrowed his eyes and said:
"[Emperor Wen] is the core of this formation. The Great Zhou Songde Tianshu, as well as the Buddha statues from all directions including the Donglin Buddha, are all built for it. Surrounding it...not to mention the more complicated ones
For the praise of Tianshu, just the heads of the Buddha statues in the four directions cost countless materials and treasures from the secret treasury of Si Tianjian, which cost a lot of money."
Ouyang Rong turned around and looked up at the Buddha.
He pointed at the golden Buddha head and asked:
"Is [Emperor Wen] inside at the moment? Or is part of it inside, or in the Songde Center of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Can this formation be connected through the air?"
Rong Zhen glanced at him, and under the gaze of Song, Yi and others, he did not answer this super basic question and automatically skipped it.
"Ouyang Lianghan, seeing the Buddha is like seeing [Emperor Wen], it's that simple."
She stopped clicking, paused, and sighed:
"Ouyang Lianghan, you have never seen the Ding Sword or its power. I am lucky enough to have seen the power of [Emperor Wen]. It is unforgettable. Even a Qi practitioner is nothing but a chopping block in front of it.
The fish meat on the body can be slaughtered at will, and the edge of the tripod sword against the mortal body is like the bright moon in the heart of the sky against the fluorescent light of rotting grass, which is simply devastating."
"Okay, I've learned a lesson."
Ouyang Rong sighed and waited for a moment. Seeing that Rong Zhen didn't speak for a long time, he asked directly:
"What happened to the special quota that Lin Cheng mentioned?"
Rong Zhen lowered his eyes and said:
"Each of the Four Great Buddhas needs a presiding person. They are considered to be a different type of sword holder. The requirements are relatively loose, but Si Tianjian's selection is also very strict... I have been approved by His Majesty and Grand Siming to take a quota."
The atmosphere was quiet for a while.
"Hahaha."
Everyone couldn't help but look sideways at the young governor who suddenly smiled.
Rong Zhen raised her head with some doubts, looked at Ouyang Rong for a while, and said with a somewhat unspeakable sadness:
"Ouyang Lianghan, do you think you have discovered my selfish motives? Do you think I am using you during these times?"
"It's not this. I suddenly wanted to understand something, a little detail."
Rong Zhen stared at him and his voice softened: "What's the matter?"
Ouyang Rong pointed at the Buddha, facing the petite lady Shi, still smiling and saying:
"So, it was precisely because it was completed that Rong Nu Shi went to discuss with me about today's celebration ceremony, right?
"You're not here to ask for credit, but to lure people from the Tiannan Jianghu over, give them time, wait for them to take action, and catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Including your previous proposal to build the Big Buddha secretly for this reason. Once the Big Buddha is built and the formation is completed, we will no longer be afraid of these rebels, but will be afraid that they will not be able to escape.
"So, your Si Tianjian's trip to Xunyang City in Jiangzhou to supervise the construction of the giant Buddha and perfect the formation is just one part of it. Well, it is undeniable the most important part, but the real purpose is far more than that.
"After the giant Buddha is built, your next step is to clean up all the dissidents and rebels in Tiannan Jianghu. This is the important thing, right? You can also get a huge credit by killing Tiannan Jianghu.
There is a bloody storm, there are many heads of people, and there is a steady stream of achievements to be harvested."
Ouyang Rong smiled and said: "I knew that with your temperament, how could you flatter me like this? I was still wondering at the time."
Rong Zhen was stunned for a moment, stared at him and asked:
"You are so determined that I will hold a celebration ceremony, aren't you really trying to please the Holy Face?"
Although Ouyang Rong smiled, his eyes were very calm and he said with great certainty:
"Rong Nu Shi is a very noble person. The excuse of trying to please Sheng Yan might be valid when used in Song Dynasty... It might be true when applied to other Luoyang palace people, but when it comes to Rong Nu Shi..."
He shook his head: "With Rong Nu Shi's ambition, she will do big things and take action to win. She will disdain such trivial things as flattery."
Not sure if she heard it wrong, Nanny Song frowned and glanced at Ouyang Rong, her eyes a little suspicious.
Ouyang Rong turned a deaf ear and did not look at the old woman with blank eyes.
After Rong Zhen finished listening, he was silent for a moment and looked away.
I don’t know if it’s because of the morning sun, but the little face that was exposed to the sun was slightly white and rosy, as if she was moved.
She took a deep breath and spoke softly:
"First of all, the celebration ceremony is not entirely a decoy. I want to give you...well, I want to ask for your merits and rewards, so I invited Yuan Huaimin to come over and paint.
"Secondly, for today's celebration, I really want to invite you to the urn to catch them all and avoid future troubles. If they don't come, I will be disappointed.
"In addition, Ouyang Lianghan, the Buddha you have devoted your whole life to help build is the greatest confidence of this palace. No matter whether it succeeds today or not, you have made a great contribution.
"Finally, the wording of your sentence just now is wrong. The word 'you' means 'we', and we are right. This is not only my fault, but also yours. Do you understand?"
Ouyang Rong stopped his smile and shook his head seriously:
"No, it's not for me. At least the subsequent credit is no longer what I'm after, but what you want.
"As the parent official of Jiangzhou, I have been in charge of my political affairs. The stability, prosperity, and adequate food and clothing of Jiangzhou have always been the most important thing in my heart. The reason why I was willing to take over the mission of building the Giant Buddha was also based on this point.
, the bottom line is not to waste one's life and lose money, and the credit and other things are put behind.
"It's just that at that time, I never thought that this giant Buddha would have such a mystery... As a result, it attracted people like Tiannan Jianghu, which led to today's crisis. It is foreseeable that the conflict and struggle against this Buddha statue will continue after today.
It is inevitable, and Xunyang City, where thousands of people live, is right next to it, and the golden waterway that is related to the prosperity of Xunyang also flows here."
Ouyang Rong rubbed his face vigorously and continued:
"Rong Nu Shi, the current situation has begun to run counter to my original intention, and it is also gradually far away from my promise to the folks in Xunyang that the Buddha will not work for the people or money."
"Perhaps, Rong Nu Shi, Deputy Supervisor Song... you people who have come from the gods have a bigger picture and a broader vision. You will say that you are standing on the starting point of long-term peace and stability south of the Yangtze River and even the entire Great Zhou territory.
I hope to attract all the dissidents from Tiannan Jianghu and catch them all in one fell swoop."
He put down his palms, his face expressionless, and his tone calm:
"For this reason, even if there are a few innocent casualties and small sacrifices, we can accept it, taking the overall situation into consideration, such as the casualties of the people in this small Xunyang, such as the sacrifice of this mere Jiangzhou
The prosperity of a state, right?
"I'm sorry. I apologize that I don't have this layout. The field of vision is too small. Currently, I can only accommodate a small Xunyang City. I just want to ensure that the weather here is smooth, prosperous and stable. I won't fight if I can. At least don't deliberately cause trouble.
Come to Xunyang City to fight..."
Hearing Ouyang Rong's somewhat serious tone, Rong Zhen looked like he was not surprised.
She quickly took a step forward and said comfortingly:
"I know, I know, just as you know me, I don't know you, Ouyang Lianghan, don't be angry...don't be angry with me, listen to me..."
Ouyang Rong suddenly asked:
"The female historian has long anticipated my attitude, so she has delayed telling me the mystery of the Giant Buddha, is it because she is afraid that I will not cooperate? Any confidential investigation is just an excuse. We will wait until the Giant Buddha is built. As for the violent events in Tiannan Jianghu,
reaction,
It's best to look like they are sensitive and stressed. They seem to be looking for trouble and come inexplicably to compete with a giant Buddha that can't be hit with eight poles. In this way, I can only adapt to the situation and cooperate with you. Yes or no, Ms. Shi.
