No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 897 Where is Sister Xiu Niang?

Qingyan Late Peach is very special.

Ouyang Rong discovered this very early, which can be seen from the fact that the peach flesh can remain intact for many days after being cut.

Two days ago, he gave half of the peach to Miaosi and sealed the rest. Now when he took it out, the peach fragrance was still wafting around, making his mouth water.

Ah Qing held the peach in both hands and stared at him for a while.

Ouyang Rong walked to the door, checked carefully and made sure that no one was there.

He turned around, took off the bronze mask from his face, and revealed his true identity while speaking softly:
"Do you remember the first level, Peach Valley? It was given to me by a monkey king. I heard Ah Shan mention before that you love to eat peaches."

Ah Qing calmed down after hearing this.

She looked at the bronze mask in Ouyang Rong's hand, then her eyes fell on his face, staring at it for a while.

"Brother, you have a really good memory."

Ah Qing said softly, lowered her eyes, and took a small sip of the peach.

At this moment, there was a "click" sound, and something slipped from Ouyang Rong's sleeve and fell on the newly made bed.

Ah Qing looked closely and it seemed to be an ink stick.

The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward. The ink stick moved slightly forward, and then, under the gaze of the girl, as if it could not help itself, it grew a pair of short legs and jumped to Ah Qing's side. In the blink of an eye, the ink stick turned into a little man.

Ah Qing looked at her curiously and saw that it was a young lady in Confucian clothes.

Just like an exquisite puppet, it is very lively and realistic.

"Brother, this is..."

Ah Qing immediately looked up and saw Ouyang Rong's helpless expression, as if he vaguely understood something.

There was no trace of surprise on her face.

She was not surprised by anything that happened to Ouyang Rong, no matter how bizarre it was.

"Ignore her, pretend she doesn't exist."

Ouyang Rong held his forehead and waved his hands.

"oh oh."

Miao Si looked up at the girl who was very close to Xiao Rongzi, then turned around and looked at Ouyang Rong.

Ouyang Rong had a blank expression on his face: "Ah Qing, my sister, Junior Sister knows about this, it's common in Dragon City."

Miao Si, who was serving as Xiao Rongzi's imperial commander-in-chief for Xie Yatou, nodded and turned around to find Ah Qing looking down at her with a smile.

Miao Si glanced at Banzhitao, and the next moment, she showed a cute and harmless expression, jumped onto Ah Qing, and snuggled into her arms.

Ah Qing smiled sweetly and started playing with Miao Si:
"Ouch, it itches..."

Ouyang Rong walked over and asked subconsciously:

"Aren't you afraid, Qing?"

Ah Qing held the peach in one hand and used the other hand to hold Miao Si.

"Not afraid."

She shook her head at Ouyang Rong, smiling but surprisingly confident:

"Anything is possible for my brother, because he is born to create miracles, and it is normal for any miraculous thing to happen.

"Don't be afraid, Qing, because my brother will never hurt you, and whenever there is danger, my brother will always stand in the front."

Ouyang Rong was silent, not knowing how to respond.

At this moment, Ah Qing, who was just meeting and playing with the little Mojing, suddenly withdrew his hand holding the peach and hid the peach behind him.

It turned out that Miaosi had just suddenly stretched out her hand to grab the half peach, but Ah Qing dodged it without even turning his head, and Miaosi's hand was empty.

"No way."

Ah Qing turned around and shook her head at the little Mo Jing who was showing her a cute expression:
"This is what my brother left for me. I can't give it to you. I'll find something else you want to eat, but I can't give it to you except this peach."

Wonderful Thoughts: …

She immediately stopped acting cute and crossed her arms over her chest, tilted her head back, and her pigtails were about to stick up to the sky:

"Well, I ate half of it, and it's not that delicious. Go ahead and eat it. I don't really want to eat it."

She muttered again, "Why are you as stingy as Xiao Rongzi?"

As if he found her interesting, Ah Qing smiled, put down the little black spirit, and ate the peach flesh in small bites.

He glanced at Miao Si and his expression changed slightly.

But I still held back and closed my eyes. Out of sight, out of mind.

The little black spirit had a determined look on his face as if he would not accept charity.

Ouyang Rong turned his head and looked at the night outside.

Seeing that Ah Qing had no intention of leaving, he turned around and got an old piece of clothing, folded it into a pillow, and placed it at the end of the bed, preparing to sleep separately from Ah Qing.

Ah Qing seemed not to see it and continued to tease Miao Si.

She groped in her bosom and pulled out a handkerchief with some snacks wrapped inside.

Ah Qing picked out a candied fruit and handed it to Miao Si with a smile.

Ever since she took out the handkerchief, the little black fairy had been looking at her. When she saw the candied fruit being handed to her, she quickly hugged it and, like a squirrel, turned her back to the brother and sister and began to eat it with relish.

Miao Si changed his words incoherently:
"Well, Miss Aqing, right? I'll call you Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing, well, you are the most loyal, no one else, much better than your sworn brother. He really needs to learn from you."

Ah Qing smiled and didn't respond. She looked at the greedy little Mo Jing for a while, then turned around and handed Ouyang Rong a handkerchief:

"Brother, try it. I brought it from the Queen's Palace this afternoon. When Master summoned me, I took some from the fruit plate."

Ouyang Rong's attention was focused on his ears.

Just after handing half a peach to Ah Qing, the crisp sound of a wooden fish was heard, and his merit increased by nearly two hundred points.

As for who gave it... first of all, rule out the idea of ​​a little expert who is timid to outsiders but domineering to his own people.

In addition, before and after dinner tonight, that is, after Ah Qing showed up, under various gazes, a lot of merits were unexpectedly fed back to him... He gained a lot tonight, which was also unexpected.

However, he didn't have time to go to the Merit Tower to count the increases.

Ouyang Rong looked at Ah Qing. The girl's face was a little red. He didn't know if it was because she was happy or because of the Qingyan Late Peach. She seemed to like eating this peach very much. Ouyang Rong didn't spoil the fun. He picked up a nut with two fingers and put it into his mouth.

He chuckled:
"Mrs. Zhishuang is very nice to you."

Ah Qing tilted his head: "Mrs. Zhishuang? Brother, who is this? Could it be Master? Why is she calling him that? Could it be Master's real name?"

Ouyang Rong rubbed her head with his other hand, and as she looked up, he smiled and joked:
"There are no outsiders here, and she keeps calling me Master. Well, it seems like she treats Qing very well."

Ah Qing looked at Ouyang Rong and said in a low voice with some embarrassment:

"Master looks fierce, but after all the interactions, I found that he is actually a very good person. He always thinks of me. Today, Sixth Uncle even joked that I am very lucky to have met a master who loves to protect his shortcomings..."

Ouyang Rong's tone seemed calm:
"Ah Qing is well-behaved and sensible, and she is talented. Who wouldn't like her? Unless you are blind, now is now, and later is later. You can't judge people by the moment. If she dares to treat you badly in the future, don't hide it and tell your brother.

"Well, you may not understand, but in fact, your brother is quite experienced in dealing with Miss Zhishuang."

Ah Qing immediately waved his hands:

"No, no, at least not yet... Brother, don't be angry. I've been here for so long and I've found that the people here are all very nice. I've never felt wronged, but..."

Ouyang Rong asked: "But what?"

She hesitated and said:
"But I found that Yunmeng Jianze seems to have a bad relationship with the court, and even hostile. Brother, can I ask you one thing? I know, I won't ask you again in the future."

"You said."

"Brother, you are here just to look for the embroiderer, right? There shouldn't be anything else."

Ouyang Rong looked into her eyes and said half-jokingly:

"What else do you think could happen?"

Ah Qing plucked up his courage, took a deep breath, and said:
"Brother, aren't you a high-ranking official in the state? For example, are you here to help the court deal with some matters this time..."

Ouyang Rong fell silent.

When Ah Qing was worried and hesitated to speak, he suddenly rubbed her head, chuckled and asked back:
"Silly girl, look at all the dynasties. When dealing with rebels, which official took the lead, rushed to the front alone, or even acted alone in advance? Is there any official in the court who is so stupid?"

He said, jokingly:
"Who doesn't assign subordinates to do things? They are just working for the court and the emperor. Why are they risking their lives? Don't you want to live? Huh?"

Ah Qing was stunned when he heard this.

"It seems to be true, um..."

She raised her hand and touched the cuffs of her brother's sleeves, and said thoughtfully:

"If you really want to deal with Jianze, you have strategies and manpower. There is no need to take the risk and come here alone."

Seeing Ah Qing seemed to be relieved, Ouyang Rong asked her with a smile:

"Why, you've been here for such a short time that you've already taken over this place? Are you worried that my brother is up to something bad, so you just smashed it?"

Ah Qing immediately shook his head and said firmly:
"I only follow my brother. I will have the same attitude as my brother. I will do whatever my brother tells me to do."

Ouyang Rong sighed:
"Don't worry, brother won't make things difficult for you."

He had just thought about it carefully and asked himself that he actually had no intention of destroying Yunmeng Jianze. This might have been the goal of Rong Zhen, Yi Qianqiu and others, but it was not his.

Sometimes he was unhappy with the Yue girls like Yunmeng Jianze, mainly because of Xiu Niang's matter, but even when he took action during the decisive battle in Xunyang Grottoes, he left some wiggle room and did not completely kill Zhishuang Xiaoniang, Wei Shaoqi and others.

He was a cold-eyed observer of the struggle between the imperial court and Yunmeng Jianze in the southern part of the world, especially after he learned what the four-sided Buddha that the saint was going to build was and the purpose behind it...

However, he came here this time with the intention of completely resolving the matter of the embroiderer.

Ah Qing lifted her hair from her chin to her ears, changed the subject, tilted her head slightly and asked:

"Brother, how's that going? Have you contacted her in the days since you came in? Or are you still looking for her?"

Ouyang Rong paused slightly when eating.

Ah Qing also silently observed his expression.

She put down the wonderful thoughts she was thinking about, came to sit next to Ouyang Rong, took his arm, and asked carefully:
"Brother, you never told me where the embroiderer you are looking for is in Jianze? Which sect is she from? What is her full name? She should be a Yue girl, right? Otherwise, why are you here?"

Ouyang Rong remained silent after hearing this.

"The general category of Jianze Yue girls is peach, sandalwood, silver, gilded, and safe and sound... What kind of Yue girl is this embroidered lady that made my brother take the risk to come here?"

Ah Qing continued to ask, and seeing that he remained silent, she said with some concern:
"But brother, you must be careful when you are looking for someone, especially be careful of the female monarch... As I said before, Jianze seems to be very unfriendly to the people in the court. If he knew your identity...

"Brother is so famous and holds such a high position, they must have heard of your name. If they knew, it would be troublesome, after all, this is Jianze's territory.

"Although my brother is very powerful, the female monarchs in the Female Monarch Palace are all very powerful. My brother must be careful."

Ouyang Rong suddenly spoke:
"Ah Qing, how many female monarchs are there in the palace now?"

Ah Qing thought carefully and answered slowly:

"I heard from Master that she has six junior sisters. Together with Master, there are seven hidden female monarchs in this session. When I went to the ancestral hall in the palace to pay homage to the master, I also saw that there were seven missing glass tablets on the wall. They were taken down by the seven female monarchs.

"I don't know why my brother calls Master Zhishuang, but in the palace, Master's glass tablet is called "Candle in the Snow". The second uncle seems to be called Yu Nianyuan... The fifth uncle is called Yun Xiangyi, and the sixth uncle is called Hua Xiangrong... I heard my sister whisper that these two uncles are twin sisters with similar faces, so I should carefully identify them and not call the wrong one."

"The clouds are like clothes... the flowers are like faces..."

Ouyang Rong chewed on it. He knew Xue Zhongzhu and Yu Nianyuan, but this was the first time he heard the titles of the Fifth Female Lord and the Sixth Female Lord, because the Yue women in Jianze all used these titles as respectful titles for them.

Ouyang Rong asked again:

"Well, I'm asking how many female monarchs are currently in Jianze. Do you know, Aqing?"

Ah Qing lowered his head and thought for a while, then said:

"Besides Master, I have only met Uncle Six, plus Uncle Five, whom Chen Jiaxin met privately. Oh, Uncle Two should also be in Jianze. Master mentioned during our conversation that if I have anything to do, I should go find Uncle Two. So there should be at least four female monarchs in Jianze... Um, why are you asking this, brother?"

Ouyang Rong did not answer and continued to ask:
"Four? What about the other ladies?"

Ah Qing stood up, wandered in front of the bed, and recalled:
"Third uncle left the mountain a few years ago because the Thatched Cottage was originally under her management. Now there is no one to manage it and it has declined a bit... As for Fourth uncle, I don't know, I haven't heard anyone mention him... Oh, and there is Seventh uncle. Seventh uncle has a very special identity. He is the first heir of Yuanjun, a symbol of Jianze's face. His title is Yue Chuzi, which has been passed down in the palace for a thousand years.

"I heard from the senior sisters that the Seventh Master is the most likable. The Master and the other senior masters are very close to her. The Seventh Master often pleaded for the Yue girls who made mistakes. There is no one in the sect who doesn't like the Seventh Master..."

Ouyang Rong's eyes were calm. Seeing Ah Qing, he shook his head and said:
"However, I haven't seen her either. Just like Fourth Uncle, I don't know if she is still in the sect. I haven't heard Master mention her. When I asked Sixth Uncle this afternoon, she seemed a little secretive... She said I would see her later, and there was no need to visit her for the time being."

Ouyang Rong nodded:

"That's right, Ah Qing, we'll see each other in the future. I'm sure you two will get along very well."

Ah Qing nodded without thinking: "Yeah."

She was suddenly stunned.
