Inside the bumpy carriage, Ouyang Rong's skirt was placed horizontally on his knees.

The face showed a slanting and listening look.

Inside the carriage, besides the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground outside and the sound of riding riders roaring.

Only Xie Lingjiang's quiet and pleasant voice was left.

Xie Lingjiang did not hide anything from Ouyang Rong.

Except for her sudden confession in the main hall of Donglin Temple in the morning, Tuqiongbiao scared someone away, both of them tacitly asked and pretended that they had not happened.

Other things.

The two gradually returned to the tone of the same kind as when they were with their brothers and sisters before.

It seemed that someone showed the side face of the man who was familiar with, who was extremely careful and focused, and seemed to encourage her.

Xie Lingjiang continued to recount the current events in the tone of his junior sister.

All the mystery of the dress knife is revealed, and it is not buried in my heart.

As Ouyang Rong listened, his slightly rough palms couldn't help but quietly put them off from the original round white jade knife handle and put them back.

In response to this, the noble lady Xie, who was talking with her red lips, looked straight and seemed to have not seen it.

I don't know how long it took.

In the carriage, the woman's gentle voice slowly stopped.

Only a few dim lights that occasionally slipped in outside the car window were left, and the two looked at each other with their silence and their respective faces.

"It seems that I feel wronged today for my junior sister."

Ouyang Rong showed a look of guilt on his face: "If I hadn't left at that time, there would be no future happening..."

Xie Lingjiang suddenly shook his head and interrupted:

"It's my senior brother who is wronged. I...I'm sorry for my senior brother."

"Why is this? Besides, if you didn't take action at the last moment this afternoon and block the fake one, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Ouyang Rong shook his head with a serious expression and turned to smile bitterly: "My junior sister showed up in the afternoon... I can't even praise you, so why do you say sorry?"

Xie Lingjiang bit her lower lip and silently stared at the man who was safe and comforting her in front of her.

After hearing the senior brother's laughter, she slowly shook her head. After a long time, she trembled her lips and made a sound.

It’s a pity that the light is dim, and someone has no spiritual cultivation and cannot clearly see the rich expression and true feelings on her face in the moment:

"My junior sister is still stupid. She was just suspicious before. It was not until she was at Penglang Ferry Terminal, watching the fake ship leave, and then she realized that the movement of the skirt knife on your side, and then she realized that the person on the ship was not a fool. At the moment when she was completely sure, she was......"

The girl in the car got so angry that she closed her mouth tightly again, her lips a little pale.

After suddenly awakening, in an instant, the feeling of breathing that was suffocating, as if someone was strangling his neck, was so unspread that he felt like he was standing in the bright sunshine of the day, but he felt like the whole world was shattered.

Cooperating with it, the emotions of disbelief, regret, and even fear surged into her forehead... Even though she later confirmed that the eldest brother was alive and was still alive, and there was feedback from the skirt knife, she still felt like she had been cut by a blunt knife.

Xie Lingjiang never wants to have this kind of experience again in his life.

Even though most of the day had passed, there was still a deep look of fear on her face.

"What's wrong with the whole person?"

Seeing that the junior sister suddenly became silent, Ouyang Rong couldn't help asking and shook his head:

"It's no wonder that the junior sister is young. No one would have thought that the Liu family would actually play such external tricks. Who gave them the courage to play them."

His eyebrows were gathered and his eyes were fixed on the knee-length knife.

"Not much." Xie Lingjiang tried hard to hold back, and did not go into detail about the collapsed mind at that time. He squeezed out a smile on his face at Ouyang Rong, and continued to murmur between her lips:

"I just worry about my senior brother... However, I felt that my senior brother used the skirt knife to kill people, and at least two people died under the skirt knife.

"I immediately sensed that my senior brother ran with his skirt knife and rushed towards Penglangdu where I was at that time. The distance was getting closer and closer, and his steps were rushing...

"The senior brother grabbed the hand on the hilt of the knife and felt extremely strong, and seemed to be very hasty... but the direction changed later, and it seemed to be heading towards the Digongzha upstream.

"I guessed... and even somehow, my senior brother must have seen through the conspiracy, but he was too far behind and couldn't catch up with us, so he had to rush to Digongzha to block the fake goods."

Speaking of this, Xie Lingjiang took a deep breath. Outside the open car window, the night wind slipped into her throat, and it felt a little cold in her throat, making her feel like drinking ice in summer at this moment.

Ouyang Rong looked at her with bright eyes, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but praise:

"My junior sister is smart, well, I still trust my senior brother... So at the dock, you asked Liulang to take people back to Dagushan to find me. You turned your head to chase the boat and used the trick to stay by the counterfeits. You wanted to see who was behind it. You tried your best to set up a conspiracy to cut the betrothal gift and destroy it in one fell swoop, right?"

Faced with the senior brother's questioning, Xie Lingjiang did not nod or shook her head. She stared at the face of the man in front of her and asked:

"Senior brother doesn't blame the junior sister? You may be in danger and may be chased later, but I didn't look for you as soon as possible and were absent by your side..."

She paused, then looked at the skirt knife silently, adding a sentence that was blessed to her heart:

"Isn't the senior brother feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart if he... isn't he valued by the other party?"

Ouyang Rong no longer held the jade handle with his hands, but instead held his hands on the white sandalwood scabbard.

He sat upright, his eyes as bright as stars, looking at her.

Xie Lingjiang, who often sits on the roof to watch the night until dawn these days, feels that the bright eyes in front of him are more like the Qimingxing on the blue sky before dawn.

Ouyang Rongchao Xie Lingjiang said softly:

"Junior sister, it is false to say that there is no trace of loss in my heart, but I still understand and be happy more, and this is also true.

"I understand the choice made by my junior sister at that time. I am very happy that you were not inspired by the emotion and turned around to find me in vain. Instead, you know how to calmly think about the situation, choose to catch up with the boat, monitor the counterfeits, and protect Lord Shen and the others.

"If you choose the former, I will be uncomfortable and angry...

"So now, I'm really happy, junior sister, you've really grown up."

Ouyang Rong sighed and showed a smile on his face.

Xie Lingjiang stared at the elder brother's expression of relief, and suddenly asked:

"What if, what if you encounter danger again on the way, what if it is because I didn't turn to find you and stay by your side, you are still killed by the evil person...

"I made that so-called rational choice. Are you happy with my senior brother? I also hope I will choose this?"

Ouyang Rong was stunned, lowered his head and held the scabbard, tightened it, and pursed his lips tightly.

He lowered his eyes and said seriously: "My junior sister knows what the answer is."

Yes, Xie Lingjiang knew the answer, but she still asked.

Sometimes, meaningless nonsense does not make the world stupider, but becomes more complicated.

During the silence of Xie Lingjiang, Ouyang Rong suddenly looked up, with a bright smile on his face and said to her:

"If I die, you will not be able to chase the boat without looking back. Don't cry. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, you will understand?"

Xie Lingjiang saw that the man in front of him pointed his finger at the direction of the folding wing channel and Digong Gate outside the car window, and he said seriously:

"You must protect our unfinished things. This is not only my unfinished career, but also your unfinished things. It is also the unfinished things of Liulang, Ashan and even all those who are committed to controlling the water in Longcheng.

“It should, and is more important than me.

"Even if I die or leave, I am no longer in this world, as long as the disaster relief camp is still there, Digong Gate is still there, and the Zheyi Canal is still there, and the people of Longcheng are still relying on them to have enough food and clothing, work and create endlessly.

"Then I am still here, my senior brother, and I will always be here, not just a few drops of ink that I brought in the large-scale county annals in the yamen."

Xie Lingjiang, who was still dressed in red in the dark car, opened his mouth and stared at the senior brother who was smiling brightly in front of him.

She was speechless for a long time.

Suddenly he turned around and looked at the night sky above his head outside the carriage.

Tonight, the moon is faint and the stars are hidden, and the sky is dark.

It is conceivable that even if she climbed the roof to watch the night out tomorrow morning, she might not have seen Qi Mingxing anymore.

However, Xie Lingjiang felt that this was not the case.

It's right in front of you.

Not long.

"Junior sister?"

The carriage stopped with a "kneel" and conveyed the inertia of leaning forward to the person in the carriage, as well as the call from the senior brother, awakened Xie Lingjiang, who was in a daze in the second half.

"Ah." She suddenly came back to her senses and responded.

Ouyang Rong looked at the little junior sister with a pretty face and couldn't help laughing:

"When you get to the place, what kind of magic are you walking around? Get out of the car quickly and go back and rest first."

On Luming Street, the carriage driven by Liu Ashan was parked in front of the low-key gate of the Su Mansion Wushi Lion.

"oh."

Xie Lingjiang looked outside, didn't move, and turned around and asked:

"What about you, Senior Brother? Are you still busy at night? I won't leave and accompany you. I can't be negligent anymore. I need to protect my senior brother's safety outside."

Ouyang Rong was helpless and thought about it. He glanced at Xie Lingjiang, who had already matured, and said truthfully:
To be continued...
