In front of the pear wood table, Ouyang Rong turned his head.

…

This is Ouyang Rong’s second visit to Xunyang Ferry today.

Both times they were given away.

"Lianghan is busy, so there is no need to send him to the ship, so let's go here."

Li Zhengyan turned around and smiled.

Ouyang Rong also asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, why did Mr. Wei leave so suddenly?"

Li Zhengyan laughed loudly: "Lianghan still can't bear to leave us?"

Behind him, Wei Shaoqi, Du Shuqing, Wang Junzhi and others all laughed.

Ouyang Rong didn't answer, looked around, then turned around and asked, "What do you mean if you don't come over for a farewell drink?"

"..." Everyone.

Good guy, you turned out to be waiting for this... Li Zhengyan and others twitched the corners of their mouths.

Li Zhengyan looked serious and said in a serious tone: "Others can drink, but Lianghan better forget it. He has to go back to the office. Drinking in broad daylight will ruin things."

Ouyang Rong said seriously: "It's okay to drink. I won't pour a thousand cups."

Li Zhengyan and everyone burst into laughter.

Someone looked back in memory.

I remember that a month ago, it was also at Xunyang Ferry that everyone arrived for the first time. The same weak-headed chief minister came to greet them in person and made a bold statement that a thousand cups would not be poured down.

"Well, well, well, Lianghan is not only a true gentleman who prays for the people, but also a hero in the south of the Yangtze River who can never pour a thousand cups."

Li Zhengyan laughed loudly and said loudly:

"Li's trip is also to plead for the people. Next time we meet, let's drink together until we get drunk."

"Okay." Ouyang Rong nodded when he heard the words: "Mr. Li has great ambitions and has traveled thousands of miles. I hope that Mr. Li will serve the people and make a difference when he takes office in Raozhou."

Li Zhengyan slapped Ouyang Rong on the shoulder hard: "As you said."

Ouyang Rong turned his head and glanced at the crowd behind him.

Yue Ziang, Wang Junzhi is also there.

However, Wang Junzhi, as a newly appointed doctor from Jiangzhou, came here this time, just like Ouyang Rong, just to say goodbye, and will return to Jiangzhou Official School later.

Yue Zi'ang is an old man, so it's normal to see him off.

As for the young master Zhu, he hurried back to Hongzhou the day news of the mutiny among the Guizhou garrison came.

Ouyang Rong glanced at the slowly docking ship and suddenly asked:

"Go southwest. This doesn't seem to be the direction to Raozhou."

Li Zhengyan nodded:

"That's right, I will first send Shuqing to Longcheng to take office, then send Mr. Wei to Yi County, and then I will return to Raozhou to take office."

Ouyang Rong nodded: "Mr. Li is still thoughtful and considerate."

Li Zhengyan sighed: "We are just brothers in need."

Ouyang Rong shook his head: "It's a hidden dragon, don't use it."

Hearing this oblique compliment, Li Zhengyan smiled, nodded and said:

"Speaking of Qianlong. When I was just demoted by the imperial court, I came back drunk from Zhulou in Luoyang. I met a Taoist priest from Zhongnan Mountain on the street. He said that a few days ago, he had made a building out of grass in the mountains. He watched the stars at night and discovered that in the southeast

...with a royal air."

Ouyang Rong thought for a while and praised:

"The Taoist priest has very good eyesight."

Li Zhengyan, who was talking about sex, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Ouyang Rong suddenly became serious, looked at the dark and fat man in a felt hat in front of him and asked:

"Then, from Yangzhou to Jiangzhou, Li Gong passed through the mountains and rivers in the southeast to visit the famous cities in the great state. What did he discover?"

Li Zhengyan raised his eyebrows slightly, pointed his index finger downward and pointed at his feet:

"Liang Han, the king's spirit is in Jiangzhou."

Ouyang Rong curiously asked:

"But Mr. Li doesn't seem to have seen the real person he wanted to see."

"No need to see you." Li Zhengyan waved.

"Then Mr. Li will still be angry?"

Ouyang Rong looked at him and asked in a half-joking tone:

"Mr. Li must be a well-hidden Qi practitioner, right?"

"There's no need to look." Li Zhengyan shook his head.

"Then how did you discover this so-called kingly aura?"

Li Zhengyan stared into Ouyang Rong's eyes and said firmly:

"Just like history books say that when a country is about to perish, there will always be evildoers. Wherever the king's spirit rises to the sky, there will surely be people who can support the dragon and help the world."

Ouyang Rong didn't make any mistakes, he suddenly showed an embarrassed look on his face and scratched his head:

"He has the talent to help the dragon and save the world. Well, Mr. Li must be talking about me, right?"

Li Zhengyan just looked at him, smiling and saying nothing.

Ouyang Rong made a relieved expression:

"That's okay, as long as he's not a monster in troubled times.

"However, I feel that Mr. Li is the real person who can help the dragon and save the world. I am just a mediocre person at best. I can only leave a little mark in the history books for being handsome and being able to drink a cup."

"...??" Everyone at the pier.

Li Zhengyan took another look at the humble young man in front of him who seemed to have something to say, and shook his head.

Ouyang Rong suddenly took out a bunch of keys from his sleeve, handed it to the tall, dull and silent young man following Li Zhengyan, smiled at him and said:

"Brother Du just happened to go to Longcheng to take up the post of county magistrate. I also worked in Longcheng last year. I have a vacant house on Luming Street and live comfortably.

"Now that I'm leaving office, the house is unoccupied, and I'm not willing to sell it. It can be regarded as a fate with Brother Du. I take the key. You're welcome. It can be regarded as a place to stay."

Du Shuqing was slightly surprised and looked at Li Zhengyan.

The latter nodded.

Du Shuqing hesitated for a moment, then solemnly took the key with both hands and clasped his fists:

"Thank you Ouyang Changshi."

Ouyang Rong waved his hand gracefully.

Everyone chatted for a while.

The boatman came to tell him that the boat was about to leave.

Li Zhengyan and his party turned around and boarded the ship.

Ouyang Rong stayed on the shore of the pier, watching the people get on the boat one after another. At this time, he saw Yue Ziang's figure among them from the corner of his eye.

Following Du Shuqing, they boarded the boat together.

Before he could ask any more questions, a gust of river wind suddenly blew by.

Li Zhengyan had just boarded the deck, and his felt hat was blown away by the wind.

Floating in the air, flying towards the dock and landing on the ground.

Ouyang Rong bent down and picked up the felt hat at his feet.

Li Zhengyan and everyone turned around unexpectedly.

Ouyang Rong lowered his head and glanced at the hat, about to give it away: "Mr. Li..."

On the deck, the current British Lord Li Zhengyan, who had slightly white temples, stood with his hands behind his back, smiling and waving his hands, indicating that there was no need to bother.

Ouyang Rong nodded and put away his felt hat.

The sails raised by the boatman bulged, and the ship slowly started and sailed away from the dock.

Snow-white waves rolled up from the stern of the boat.

Ouyang Rong raised his head and glanced at the sky.

It happened to be evening, and the sky was not as bright as yesterday's sunset. It was even gray, like the dusty old felt hat in his hand.

There shouldn't be such good travel weather tomorrow. Like Ambassador Hu, Li Gong will also choose the day... Ouyang Rong thought subconsciously, watching the distant ship, and murmured:
Chapter completed!
