After walking out of the gate, Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang got into the carriage.

Ouyang Rong sat down, leaned back in relief, closed his eyes and said.

"Go to the palace."

"good."

As he was thinking about something, he felt a catkin coming towards him and gently rubbing his brow, feeling a little warm in his heart.

But as soon as the carriage left the Xie family's private residence, Ouyang Rong, who was closing his eyes and concentrating, heard Xie Lingjiang's voice next to him:

"There seems to be an informant in the alley outside. He ran away in a hurry. It seemed like he was reporting a message. He might be Wang Lengran's person. He has been keeping an eye on us since we entered for the family banquet."

Ouyang Rong said with a smile: "It seems that the most tense thing in Xunyang City at tonight's family banquet is not between us and the palace, but the king's governor. I don't know what Qin Jingqin talked about when he made an exception for attending the banquet. Our king's governor

I guess I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

Xie Ling Jiang Yanran smiled:

"Relax a little bit."

An hour later, everyone gathered in a study room in Prince Xunyang's Mansion.

"What about tonight's dinner? Have you met Qin Jingqin?"

After seeing Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang returning, Li Xian, Li Guo'er and others couldn't wait to ask.

Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes and drank tea, while Xie Lingjiang peeled pears and slowly recounted the general conversation at tonight's family banquet.

After listening for a while, Li Guoer put down the white cat and asked the first question:

"Aside from asking about Li Zhengyan, we just chatted about food, Shuangfengjian and Xunyang Grottoes?"

"Um."

Li Guoer was a little confused:

"It's understandable that I'm asking for advice. But we're going to talk a lot later, just to use metaphors to praise you? That's too wrong."

Xie Lingjiang, however, was not so stubborn and said bluntly:

"Perhaps Uncle Qin didn't think so much and just admired Senior Brother?

"I was observing from the side and found that Uncle Qin's granddaughter Qin Ying looked at him frequently, her eyes seemed surprised."

Li Guo'er was noncommittal, frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"How can you bring up the Shuangfengjian and Xunyang Grottoes so easily? Could it be that Qin Jingqin has taken a fancy to it and wants to get involved and get a share of the pie?"

"It is true that such people rarely make unintended goals." Wei Mei nodded: "It makes sense."

Everyone looked at Ouyang Rong, who was looking down and thinking.

Without raising his eyes, he asked, "Is the Qin family short of money?"

Xie Lingjiang shook his head: "From what my aunt said, there should be no shortage."

"If there is no shortage, there will be no shortage. But who would despise having more money?"

Li Guoer analyzed softly:

"What's more, if you come across a construction like the Xunyang Grottoes, you can earn money from meritorious deeds while lying down. Not only can you make money, but you can also win a good reputation. If the Qin family happens to also worship Buddhism, it can be considered as killing three birds with one stone."

After a pause, she cast a look at the handsome young man with fox-white fur and fur, asking for his opinion.

Ouyang Rong was a bit meek: "Add him... It's okay, but I feel that if you really hint at joining the gang, it would be too naked."

Li Baoer tilted his head:

"If you still want to talk in circles, this hint is enough. Ouyang Lianghan, sometimes smart people can't think too much. Be more simple and rely on first impressions."

Ouyang Rong nodded:

"The first thing I felt was that he was praising me."

"..."

Li Guoer glared:

"You want to be flattering... Praise is not pure praise. People like this always have a purpose in what they say. Even when they meet you at this family dinner, they may have known in advance that you would come. There are no surprises..."

The little girl with plum blossom makeup raised a red cardamom index finger, tapped her chin, squinted her eyes and thought for a moment:

"According to the previous analysis, Qin Jingqin should attach great importance to military merit when he comes out this time. The purpose of being knighted like the old Hu Guogong is. Now it seems that he may want more, and he may have the intention to join us. The grotto at the Shuangfengjian is

An opportunity to join us, seeing how he likes it so much, and his compliments both inside and outside of his words... If it's a hint, it's just the right thing to bind."

She paused in her words and nodded slowly.

Ouyang Rong glanced at her and thought for a while.

This little princess is too sober and rational in her dealings with others. Sometimes she only analyzes the pros and cons. Although she is a bit arbitrary and ruthless, her logic is not unreasonable.

Li Guo'er suddenly slapped his two beautiful hands:

"You can test it out tomorrow and find out your attitude. If you are really interested in the interests of Xunyang Grottoes, or are optimistic about us and want to bet on us, it wouldn't hurt to recruit them into the group. One more ally will bring more strength, especially at this time.

The more, the merrier.”

"It makes sense." Li Xian nodded.

They discussed it again and found no objection. Finally, they looked at Ouyang Rong with expectation in their eyes: "How about giving it a try?"

Ouyang Rong neither nodded nor shook his head.

Said softly: "Principle...agreed."

"..." Everyone in the study room.

As expected of the governor of Jiangzhou, a man of the fifth rank in talent and a refined speech... Li Guo'er's originally indifferent eyes couldn't help but give him an angry look.

However, Ouyang Rong found that everyone's eyes were filled with joy at the prospect of winning over the highly respected General Zuo Wuwei.

The atmosphere in the study room is slightly soothing.

At this time, Li Guo'er suddenly asked: "Then Mr. Qin's eldest granddaughter hasn't left the palace yet?"

The study suddenly became quiet.
