Suddenly there was a sneer, which was very harsh even in the creaking bridge tunnel, and everyone could hear it.

Ouyang Rong turned his head calmly, glanced at the sneer, and found that he was one of the six original guards carried by Zhu Lingxu.

There were faint whip marks on this man's neck, which were covered with the collar of his soap robe. At this moment, he was holding the reins in his hands, holding his head high and waiting, not looking at Ouyang Rong, but the corners of his mouth were very sarcastic.

When the other guards saw this, or knew the inside story, they laughed and laughed;

Or, like the frivolous Taoist priest, he glanced curiously at the handsome young man who seemed to be humiliated. He wondered how this young man committed suicide and offended Zhu Lingxu and his bodyguards.

Zhu Lingxu seemed to be temporarily deaf. After a while, the city gate was about to open, and he turned his head in hindsight.

He first glared at the personal guard named Chen Laosan, then turned back with an apologetic expression:

"Don't get me wrong, Ouyang Changshi, this guy is generous...but that's not what he means..."

This is, bang——! There was a loud bang, and the city gate was completely opened. Ouyang Rong shook his head, calmly turned sideways, and spread his palms to signal.

Seeing this, Zhu Lingxu nodded calmly, led ten of his followers, and rode out.

As for Zhu Yuheng, he could not take his eyes off the whole process and seemed not to see Ouyang Rong.

A group of warriors walked away.

"This is unreasonable, these warriors are too arrogant..." Chen You muttered while suppressing his anger.

"Nothing, let's just do our own thing. Warriors often go to the battlefield, with their heads tucked into their belts, so they naturally speak more freely."

Looking away, Ouyang Rong comforted Chen You instead, who admired him.

After the farewell was over, everyone dispersed, and Ouyang Rong sent Li Xian back to the palace.

In the next few days, Ouyang Rong went about his business as before, doing what he was doing with peace of mind, and the training of Jiangzhou's former army was also completed one after another.

According to the latest news from Zhu Yuheng’s forward.

The vanguard has already broken into Hongzhou to explore a path for the army.

After receiving the military report, Zhu Lingxu's large force of the former army was ready to leave.

The time is tentatively scheduled for the next day.

When Ouyang Rong received the news, he was sitting in the lobby processing official documents. In the current wartime situation, Jiangzhou lobby needed to cooperate with Zhu Lingxu's former army, so things were a bit busy.

This is probably one of the reasons why Zhu Lingxu has never openly turned against him. He also needs his long history, who is familiar with Jiangzhou affairs, to cooperate with the logistics work.

"Mingfu."

Yan Liulang came over out of breath, calmed down for a while, handed over a piece of paper, and whispered to Ouyang Rong:

"These are the addresses that Li Li often frequents in Xunyang City...

"And the news about Jishui County that you asked me to inquire about... That Jishui County Lieutenant Zhao Ru was raised by Your Majesty and made a guerrilla general.

"Actually, it's just a false name. However, a few days ago, Wang Lengran and Zhu Lingxu sent him to lead troops to handle the recovery of several surrendered counties around Jishui County... As of yesterday, the recovery has been completed.

"This person is expected to return to Xunyang City in the next two days to report to Zhu Lingxu and Wang Lengran. It seems that he will be promoted. With this trend, his official rank may be transferred to the expeditionary army, leading a team and becoming a guerrilla general.

title.

"Oh, Zhu Lingxu specifically entrusted this person to do something that is easy to take credit for, such as recovering the lost city. It must have a lot to do with it...

"Also, news came back from Zhu Yuheng that he arrived at Fushui County in Hongzhou as scheduled yesterday and easily occupied it, half a day ahead of schedule.

"Zhu Yuheng's forward is not far from Hongzhou City. According to the intelligence report, Cai Qin is hastily preparing for war in Hongzhou..."

Yan Liulang finished explaining everything in detail.

Ouyang Rong put down what he was doing, listened silently for a moment, dipped his fingertips in water, and started writing on the table.

This made Yan Liulang look sideways. He obviously had an inkstone and a writing brush at hand, but Ouyang Rong chose to use water stains.

I saw that Changshi Wu Guan wrote some weird and crooked words on the table, as if he had calculated the distance and time.

"The distance is not too far or too close, just right... finally everything is in place."

He buried his head and muttered to himself.

After a while, Ouyang Rong flicked his sleeves and wiped off the water stains on the table without feeling dirty.

He raised his head and nodded slightly:

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's hard work in the Ming Dynasty."

Ouyang Rong suddenly smiled:

"To sum it up, I haven't had a vacation for a long time. Dalang invited me to go to the newly built Juxian Garden to listen to the piano and chant poems. I will take a day off tomorrow. Will Liulang go with me?"

Yan Liulang shook his head: "I have something to do with my humble job, so I can't go there for the time being. Let's go to the Ming Mansion and relax."

Ouyang Rong nodded:

"Okay, let's meet again the day after tomorrow. It just so happens that General Manager Zhu will lead the army on an expedition the day after tomorrow. I'll come back and hand him a cup of practice bar and send him off on his way."

The tone was very serious.

Yan Liulang was slightly stunned.

Half an hour later, Ouyang Rong finished handling everything at hand in an orderly manner, left a leave letter, signed off in advance, and returned to the Huaiye Lane residence.

Ouyang Rong felt relaxed after taking an unprecedented day off.

It's approaching evening.

"I'm going to the palace. I won't be back tonight, and tomorrow night...maybe I won't be back. Don't wait for me, go to bed early."

After Ouyang Rong gave these instructions, he unusually put on a red uniform, quite flamboyant.

He walked to the secret compartment, took out a bronze mask, and silently stuffed it into his sleeve.

Then, he took out a brand new piano case that he had prepared earlier, with a real piano inside;

Ouyang Rong turned his head and wrapped the piano-shaped sword box containing the true tripod sword, a black iron token with Wei characters, the black dragon pill box and other items together in gray cloth.

He held the gray parcel and the real piano box in his arms and took them out.

Before going out, Ouyang Rong did not forget to take out a felt hat from the cabinet, shake off the dust, put it on with his head lowered, and walked away.

After a while, at the back door of the house, Ouyang Rong boarded a carriage that had been waiting for a long time.

When the car curtain was opened, Xie Lingjiang's beautiful figure in a red dress could be seen waiting, and she thoughtfully took the baggage from his hand...

Half an hour later.

In Xiushui Fang, a horse-drawn carriage was parked in front of the busy Xunyang Prince's Mansion.

At first it did not attract the attention of messengers or passers-by.

Ouyang Rong bent down and got out of the car. A gray package in his hand was missing, leaving only a long and narrow piano case in his arms.

The figure of Prince Li Fusu appeared at the door and came out to pick up the people in person. This immediately attracted the surrounding messengers from far away and the guests were surprised.

Ouyang Rong couldn't take his eyes away. He held the qin in front of everyone and walked into the gate of the palace. Li Dalang greeted him with a smile:

"Lianghan is finally here. The weather is good today. The sunset is like fire. It's the fifteenth day of the year. There will definitely be stars and moon, which is suitable for singing over wine..."

Ouyang Rong smiled and nodded, patting the piano case: "I won't go home until I'm drunk."

Look at each other and smile, ignore others, touch shoulders and enter.

However, many people in Jiangzhou City knew that Ouyang Lianghan had a good relationship with Prince Xunyang and frequented them in private, so the onlookers around him were not surprised for long.

It didn't take long for the two of them to enter.

A quarter of an hour later, Princess Wei Mei suddenly led a group of maids out with great fanfare, seemingly going out for shopping.

Among the accompanying maids, there was a very thin-tongued young woman. She followed Wei Mei silently and was not conspicuous among the large number of maids accompanying her.

Two quarters of an hour later.
Chapter completed!
