After these days of testing and observation, Pei Shisanniang has passed the test and can be used.

At the same time, she was also accepted by Ouyang Rong's men, Yan Liulang and Wang Caozhi.

So before leaving, Ouyang Rong also introduced Pei Shisanniang and let Li Xian and Li Dalang condescend to have a look.

The old rule is still a trick of Corporal Li Xian, but it is old-fashioned but effective. Li Xian encouraged him a few words, and the beautiful woman burst into tears of gratitude...

As for Yan Liulang, he stayed in the city, assisting Yuan Huaimin openly and guarding the Prince Xunyang's Mansion secretly.

Ouyang Rong lowered his head and thought carefully for a moment.

After making sure that there were no omissions, he stood up and took a look at the water leakage time.

"Let's go, I'll take you to have some food."

Wang Caozhi followed behind, holding an umbrella for Ouyang Rong like a dog, and kept saying:

"Brother-in-law, you said that the Buddha's body has been repaired and completed, why haven't you put the Buddha's head on it to form a complete body? What are you waiting for, Ms. Shi?"

Someone casually said:

"What are you waiting for? Of course, you are waiting for us to go over and wait for everyone to gather so we can start dinner."

…

Lunch was still in the old musician’s yard.

But this time, everyone was indeed there.

In addition to Rong Zhen, Ouyang Rong, and Wang Cao brought by the latter.

And Grandma Song, Miaozhen.

Yi Qianqiu, Wei Mi, Li Congshan, Duan Quanwu.

Wei Mi has always been at Xunyang Grottoes, leading a group of Xuanwu Guards and assisting the commander Yi Qianqiu.

Miaozhen and Li Congshan were originally ordered to lead three hundred White Tiger Guards to guard the Xunyang Palace.

As a result, under the unanimous orders of Xunyang King Lixian and Jiangzhou Governor Ouyang Rong, and with the consent of Rong Zhennvshi, the Xunyang Grottoes were temporarily transferred to protect the Giant Buddha.

It can be regarded as adding to the defense strength of Xunyang Grottoes.

After all, the construction of the Donglin Giant Buddha is a major event for the imperial court and one of the state affairs that His Majesty is most concerned about.

The reasons are sufficient and justifiable.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Xunyang Palace is a little wary of Miaozhen, Li Congshan and their entourage.

Just see through it without telling it.

Duan Quanwu was the only one who looked at fellow White Tiger Guard member Li Congshan with a hint of amusement and sarcasm.

Li Congshan, a young man in white robe, had a normal expression on his face and took out his chopsticks to serve the rice, acting neither humble nor overbearing.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Ouyang Rong, who had just entered the courtyard.

He glanced at Duan Quanwu.

This gloomy-looking martial artist who was related to Qiu Shenji also hurriedly returned from the outside before the Xunyang Grottoes were sealed.

Previously, he led people to encircle and suppress the group of water thieves in Hukou County...

As usual, the atmosphere at the table was silent.

Although everyone gathered together, they all said that there were few people.

Mainly because the leaders Rong Zhen, Ouyang Rong and Yi Qianqiu are all taciturn, so the others naturally have nothing to say.

The meal was eaten in general silence.

When he put down the bowl and was about to leave, Ouyang Rong asked:

"General Duan, how is the situation in Hukou County? Are there any gains?"

Duan Quanwu had a stern face:

"I cut off a dozen heads."

"Not wiped out?"

Duan Quanwu lost his face a little and snorted coldly:

"Hmph, these water thieves are all turtles and rats. They don't dare to touch my general's edge. They always hide in the maze-like swamp, so it's hard for me to chase them... But they are also afraid and they don't dare to show up. This time, I will

We retreated quickly and left a group of people to guard the edge of the swamp. They probably didn't even react when they were hiding in the swamp. When the big things here are settled, I will go and meet them properly."

After listening to a lot of words from him, Ouyang Rong nodded and, as the class representative, concluded:

"So there's nothing you can do about them, right? I understand."

Duan Quanwu:...?

The sullen-faced man glared at Ouyang Rong, his nose trembling. However, the official position of Jiangzhou governor was several steps higher than his, so he could only swallow. He waved his sleeves and said:

"It's really easy for Governor Ouyang to sit in the yamen every day. He's really capable, but he can do it by himself."

Ouyang Rong's face suddenly became serious: "I'm really good at it."

Duan Quanwu choked and looked at him suspiciously.

Rong Zhen said: "Okay, the matter is over, don't argue. It's a small matter over there. Those water thieves have already tested the ingredients. If they dare to attack the grotto, they are seeking death."

This is true. Xunyang Grottoes currently have close to three thousand soldiers. Even the outer perimeter cannot be broken through by the water-clad thieves.

After meal.

Wang Caozhi left immediately without waiting for his brother-in-law.

Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen looked at each other, stood up in tacit understanding, and went out side by side.

The remaining few people also dispersed one after another.

Miao Zhen was too lazy to chat with anyone, so she walked out of the yard and glanced at the backs of Rong Zhen and Ouyang Rong who bumped into each other from time to time on the path ahead.

She turned around, held an umbrella and returned to her residence.

Miaozhen also lived in a bamboo house, but it was very remote.

In these years, she had a pure heart and few desires in the palace. She had a typical lukewarm temperament. Unless on official business, she would not interact with Rong Zhen, Aunt Song, Yi Qianqiu and others in private.

In the eyes of everyone, he is lonely and weird.

Miaozhen walked into the bamboo house, closed the door immediately, closed the curtains tightly, and the light was dim.

She didn't light the lamp and sat at the table.

In fact, Miaozhen no longer hates Li Xian.

At least that's what she told herself.

But a few days ago, Li Xian and the others still sent her and Li Congshan away with a guilty conscience.

Like a broom star, avoid her.

Just then.

"Dong dong."

A thin-faced man suddenly appeared at the door of the courtyard and knocked politely.

Miaozhen walked out of the house and came under the eaves.

The thin-faced man buried his head and handed over a letter:

"Miaozhen Nvshi, my master gave it to you and said he would deliver it to you personally."

Miaozhen's eyes were cold and she did not leave the eaves.

The thin-faced man admitted himself to the hospital, respectfully placed the letter on the bamboo chair in the courtyard, turned around and left.

The courtyard returned to silence.

Raindrops fell diagonally on the envelope, wetting it bit by bit.

Miaozhen looked at the letter paper on the chair and the familiar wax seal with cold eyes, but did not go over to open it.

At a certain moment, she suddenly turned her head and closed the door.

Keep the wind, rain and white fog out.

…

At the same time, Fangjia Villa was far away from the grotto.

After Fang Yiwu finished eating with his sick wife, a maid suddenly stumbled over and whispered something in his ear.

"What? Where are the people?"

Fang Yiwu was so anxious that he stood up immediately. He had no time to comfort his wife and rushed to the library in the back house.

That's where he kept the Fang sisters and his two daughters captive these days.

Fang Yiwu rushed to the back house in a hurry.
