No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 765 Ouyang Lianghan, I will be your sword breaker [Year-end monthly ticket request]

Yi Qianqiu was the first to obey the order and turned back to the platform.

Then came Wei Wu who remained silent.

Nanny Song's face was ashen, her right palm was covered in blood, and the white bones were visible. She was the last one to return, and she was somewhat reluctant.

The golden halo cast by the Buddha fell on the old woman with white eyes.

The Buddhist beads on her wrist were made of some kind of black wood, slightly harder and thicker than Ouyang Rong's sandalwood Buddhist beads, and seemed to be able to be used several more times. At the moment, there was a crack on the Buddhist beads, but it did not affect the golden light that flashed on it.

Amidst the flashing golden light, the halo from the giant Buddha gathered towards the wound on her right palm, and the bleeding was slightly relieved.

Nanny Song was the most unwilling to accept this, and looked around at everyone with fierce eyes:
"We just let this guy get away like this? And let him kill our people, and he has the Ding Sword in his hand!"

There was silence.

Rong Zhen looked up at the stone inscription of lotus on the dome.

Yi Qianqiu's face was covered by white armor and his expression could not be seen clearly. He glanced at the girl in palace dress, who lowered her eyes and said:
"The most urgent task is to protect the Donglin Buddha and lure out the rebels in the Tiannan Jianghu. Ouyang Lianghan's incident was an accident and was not part of the plan. No one expected that... He really had the ability to retreat calmly. Fortunately, he is not crazy, and the Buddha is safe.

"Also, although he is the owner of the Butterfly Love Flower, he has not colluded with the rebels in the Tiannan Rivers and Lakes. Otherwise, when he exposed his sword just now, the rebels in the Tiannan Rivers and Lakes should have come and destroyed the Buddha with the help of the internal and external forces. Now it seems that he must have been forced to show up by the sound of the piano, and he must have wanted to return to the city to find King Xunyang."

Yi Qianqiu nodded and said in a muffled voice:

"The princess's order is correct. We cannot chase them yet. We must stay by the big Buddha. Ouyang Lianghan made quite a commotion just now. They must have noticed it and may have already arrived.

"In fact, it's a good idea to clean up the team like now. It's better than letting Ouyang Lianghan continue to hide his identity."

Nanny Song said coldly, "What about the tragic death of General Duan?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Wu looked at Duan Quanwu's body with an ugly expression.

In front of them, the kid not only escaped the trap, but also killed one person and left calmly.

Rong Zhen didn't say anything, Yi Qianqiu pondered and said:
"Once the matter of the Buddha is over today, we will naturally report it to the court and arrest the murderer. The princess knows these things... so let's not worry about it."

Nanny Song nodded heavily:
"Okay! Then we will submit a petition to the court together, not only to convict Ouyang Lianghan of the crime of barbarism, but also to hold Xunyang Palace accountable! Even if they return to Beijing, we will not tolerate it!"

After the old woman with rolled eyes said this, her face was filled with deep fear.

The others fell silent.

Obviously, it was the words spoken by a young man in Confucian robes before he left that made people think about it and still feel a little confused and restless.

No matter how much they comforted themselves or made excuses, they could not deny that Ouyang Lianghan had indeed figured out the saint's temperament and thoughts very closely. Even an old lady like Nanny Song, who had been staying by the saint's side for many years, was awakened by his words and had to admit that what he said made sense.

If the Xunyang Palace were allowed to run back to the capital and offer the Ding Sword and real name, the saint might really be pleased and give them leniency, or even directly promote them to a higher position and give them a higher title.

The saint is not unaware of the many conspiracies, intrigues, and dirty tricks of his subordinates, but he just doesn't care, or in other words, he just watches from the sidelines.

Whoever wins and benefits will be used.

Wasn't this what happened when cruel officials were appointed and the old Qian officials were purged? Was it really because the cruel officials were so vicious and deceived the emperor that most of the Qian royal family members were forced to death?

The fact is that many cruel officials, after the saints were wise and powerful and purged and overturned the cases, had almost no extra property in their houses when their houses were searched. They were relatively honest, but they were violent in law enforcement, harsh in methods, and of humble origins. They were used as knives to kill the nobles who hindered the saints in the court. However, a clean knife is still a knife, and it has to be thrown away after use, attracting the fire of Confucian scholars and carrying a bad reputation...

Old Yang, who has been an invisible figure in the audience at this moment, is the one who knows this best.

But the people on the stage were not stupid and they understood it immediately.

Wei Wu looked at Nanny Song who seemed a little uneasy, and suddenly spoke:
"Deputy Supervisor Song, don't panic. Don't forget that we have the sound of the zither. When the zither sounded just now, all the Qigong practitioners within a hundred miles were exposed by the light column, including Prince Xunyang's family. It's impossible for them to escape without taking the Qigong practitioners with them. I have already ordered the people in the city to follow the light column to chase them. If Prince Xunyang's family took another route and hid themselves, and didn't actually run away, the light column would have exposed them."

He snorted coldly:
"Although Ouyang Lianghan didn't look panicked just now, since he is in a hurry to return to Xunyang City, he must be worried about something. Don't look at what he says, look at what he does.

"He was forced out by the sound of the piano this time because he didn't expect that we were using the sound of the piano to find someone. Now that Prince Xunyang and his family are fleeing, the sound of the piano must have been beyond Ouyang Lianghan's expectations. Maybe he was in a hurry to run back because of this."

As the square-faced man spoke, he walked to Duan Quanwu's body, squatted down to examine the wounds, and closed his palms over Duan Quanwu's eyes, which were wide open like copper bells and full of unwillingness.

He shook his head and said:
"Don't forget, in addition to the pirates we have arranged, we have other backup plans in Xunyang City now... Want to run back to the capital safely and offer the Ding Sword to seek credit and escape punishment? It's not that easy."

Nanny Song and Yi Qianqiu looked at each other, and their expressions changed as they remembered something.

Nanny Song's anxious expression eased a little, and she said with a cold look in her eyes:
"Originally I didn't want to take action, but now I have finally found the real culprit. He killed my beloved disciple, and the Xunyang Palace that protected and sent him to do things..."

She turned her head and said to Wei Wu word by word:

"Let's take care of the big Buddha first. When we're done here, I'll go with you to settle accounts with them, especially Ouyang Lianghan..."

Yi Qianqiu glanced at Rong Zhen.

Sure enough, it was discovered that the girl in palace dress was tilting her head to look at the old woman with a rolled eye and the square-faced man who were speaking angrily.

Just then, a strange lady came hurriedly and whispered a report to Rong Zhen.

Rong Zhen's face froze for a moment, then he turned to look towards the south bank.

Nanny Song frowned: "What's the matter?"

The strange lady hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Rong Zhen was distracted and had no reaction, she said:

"Just now when Mr. Yu played the piano, we observed that there were no strange spiritual light pillars around the Twin Peaks except for our own Qi Refiners. However... However, there was a spiritual light pillar that was redundant. It was a red sixth-grade spiritual energy cultivation. It appeared in the woods beside the official road on the south bank. It seemed to be in the carriage of Governor Ouyang..."

The strange lady looked at the girl in palace dress:
"Madam Historian, Deputy Supervisor Song, I and my colleagues from the South Bank blocked the woods for fear of accidentally hurting Governor Ouyang's men. I originally wanted to come here to ask for instructions... But on the way, I heard news that it seemed that General Duan had just ordered Governor Ouyang's carriage to leave, so I came here to ask for instructions, Madam Historian."

The atmosphere was somewhat silent.

In the silence, the strange female historian seemed to have discovered the body as well. She looked at Duan Quanwu's body on the ground in surprise. Then, like the general who had just reported the news, she retreated with a confused look on her face.

Rong Zhen lowered her head and adjusted the hem of her noble purple skirt.

She remembered the long hair on his crimson official uniform in the morning. Yi Qianqiu frowned and asked, "Is it Xie Lingjiang or someone else? Who came with him?"

Wei Wu shook his head: "Xie's daughter should not have left the city. An informant saw her enter the palace this morning."

Rong Zhen's somewhat indifferent voice sounded:
"The other half of his official uniform for reporting the news was not sent to Xunyang Palace, but to her. Ha, you never forget your beauty even when you are in danger, Ouyang Lianghan, you are really affectionate and righteous, you are affectionate and righteous. You delay time to let her and Wang Caozhi run first, but the beauty is also affectionate and will not let you down. You are really a pair of mandarin ducks, haha."

Everyone was puzzled. Nanny Song was silent for a moment, and then she said to Rong Zhen word by word;
"Princess, you have seen that Ouyang Lianghan is not worthy of you. If he really loves you, he would not do such a despicable thing. Don't have any more illusions about him."

As if she remembered Rong Zhen's call of "old fellow" not long ago, the old woman with white eyes trembled all over, and all her anger was transferred to Ouyang Rong.

Rong Zhen spoke indifferently:
"I called you back. It has nothing to do with him. Also..."

She turned her head and stared at Nanny Song and Wei Wu:

"I don't care what happens to Prince Xunyang's mansion. I don't care at all. But Ouyang Lianghan... when the big Buddha thing is done, the Tianshu formation will expand immediately. No matter how far he runs, I will catch him myself. You are not allowed to fight with me! I don't want dead people, I want living people. I will make him suffer a fate worse than death with my own hands! This is an order, not a request."

Nanny Song and Wei Wu looked at each other.

At this time, the old musician came over, followed by a group of female guards.

He came to the platform holding a harp.

Nanny Song glared at him: "What happened just now?"

The old musician shook his head and said:
"Who knew there would be such a thing, but I have already stopped the music in time and mobilized the Buddha, but there was a slight delay. If he had delayed for a moment longer, he would not have been able to leave. Hey, this young scholar is really decisive. He is actually a legendary swordsman. But it seems that he has not completely learned the sword tactics of Emperor Wen. If the song just now was finished, it would be hard to say. It is indeed dangerous, but it is also his ability."

Nanny Song narrowed her eyes and looked at the old musician, whose tone could hardly hide his admiration.

The old musician was about to speak: "Rong girl, you have heard the sword tactics and piano music many times before, but you still don't understand it. I can't stay any longer. I will record it into the Buddha and you can figure it out later. In addition, I will help you with this fake Ding sword..."

Rong Zhen suddenly spoke:
"no need."

The old musician and everyone else looked puzzled.

"What's not needed?"

The girl in purple palace dress stepped forward quietly, stretched out her hand to take the white jade Buddhist beads, and suddenly a dazzling golden light burst out from her body.

The myriad lights emitted by the golden Buddha behind her seemed to be absorbed into her body. For a moment, even her clear golden eyes seemed a little dark. If you stare at them, it would be breathtaking.

The old musician and others stared blankly at the girl in palace dress whose face was completely disfigured today.

Around the platform, lotus shadows bloomed in the golden halo.

Rong Zhen's eyes were indifferent. He ignored them, raised his head, and stared at the largest lotus on the dome and the stone inscription on it.

She tightly clenched the white jade Buddhist beads in her little hands, and the expression on her little face was unclear whether she was smiling or crying, or both.

Everyone heard a hoarse and inexplicable voice coming from the petite figure wrapped in golden light:
"I have seen it, I have finally seen it. Are you Emperor Wen? You said... you are a little disgusted with him just like me?"

Under everyone's shocked gaze, she fluttered in a purple dress, as graceful as a fairy in the sky. In the dazzling golden sword energy, the girl cried and laughed and murmured:

"Ouyang Lianghan, I want to break your sword formation once."

【Zheng——! 】

An ethereal piano sound came from nowhere, like the falling of Bodhi leaves, or like water dripping through stone, resounding inside and outside the twin peaks, echoing for a long time.

……

"Brother-in-law, what's wrong?"

On the official road in the distance, a carriage was rushing towards Xunyang City at high speed.

Wang Caozhi looked at Ouyang Rong who suddenly opened the curtains and looked back towards the Twin Peaks, and asked curiously.

The young man in the scholar's robe was looking behind him, as if in a trance. Wang Caozhi saw his face and asked calmly, "Did you hear any sound?"

"Noise? What sound..." Wang Caozhi stuck his head out and looked around in confusion. Then he remembered something and said in a panic, "Brother-in-law, are they chasing us?"

"I didn't react so quickly." Ouyang Rong shook his head slightly, withdrew his gaze from the peaks of the twin peaks, and looked around the car. Xiu Niang and Wang Caozhi were both there.

Not long ago, he took advantage of the iron chain across the river that had not been dismantled in time and rushed to the south bank. Using Duan Quanwu's identity, he deceived the guards and fled with Xiu Niang and Wang Caozhi.

In the carriage, Ouyang Rong and Zhao Qingxiu sat side by side. Wang Caozhi sat opposite them. He looked a little guilty and asked, "Brother-in-law, have I gotten into trouble? Shouldn't some cases be investigated in detail..."

Ouyang Rong suddenly said: "The truth is never wrong. Rong Zhen is right to pursue the truth. It is also right for you and me to pursue the truth. You are right, very right." After saying that, he patted Wang Caozhi's shoulder, who had a dazed look on his face, and turned his head to glance at the pretty girl next to him.

Zhao Qingxiu had taken off the blindfold, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying, but she was no longer crying. She sat quietly, her small hand tightly grasping the cuff of his Confucian robe, and her other small hand reaching forward into his sleeve, gently stroking the bronze mask inside.

There seemed to be a lot to say between the two of them.

However, now that Wang Caozhi is here, they should not be too sentimental. The most important thing is to avoid danger.

The Mohist sword box was still on Zhao Qingxiu's lap, and she was guarding it for him very carefully and obediently.

Not long ago, a certain azure [arc] returned to the sword box in front of her.

At this moment, several people were busy on their way. Zhao Qingxiu didn't ask anything. Ouyang Rong didn't take back the sword box, nor did he pull out the embroiderer's hand that was reaching into her sleeve to touch the mask. He just let her go.

The bronze mask has now absorbed Duan Quanwu's fake body, which he temporarily collected on the high platform. However, the embroiderer's silent attention to it is definitely not because of this, but because her senior sister once hated those who wore this mask.

Finally calming down, Ouyang Rong closed his eyes immediately, entered the Merit Tower, and checked the cabin.

Just after he ran out of Xunyang Grottoes, he heard a series of crisp wooden fish sounds in his ears. The same thing happened before when he rejected Rong Zhen, Wei Wu, and Nanny Song on the high platform. His merits and virtues increased a lot, but he didn't have time to sort them out.

The remaining merit points are very important for Ouyang Rong's next race against time...
