"What about Tanlang, where are you coming from?"

"Invited by a beautiful lady, I'm going to the countryside." Ouyang Rong opened his mouth and came.

Li Dalang suddenly stared: "Which beauty?"

Ouyang Rong smiled and looked up: "Which beauty are you waiting for?"

Li Dalang subconsciously asked anxiously: "Did Tan Lang go to the countryside with Wei Anhui? How did you get together? She went out of the city in the afternoon and came alone..."

Ouyang Rong said nothing and looked at him with a half-smiling expression.

Li Dalang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had been tricked, and his old face suddenly turned red.

Ouyang Rong put down his tea cup, shook his head, and told the truth about what happened in the afternoon:

"...So we happened to be at Xunyang Grottoes, so we came back together."

"I see."

Li Dalang breathed a sigh of relief and became energetic again after a while:

"Tan Lang, what am I talking about? Wei Anhui likes your poems very much, right? I'm not just pretending..."

Ouyang Rong didn't answer and asked curiously: "Did Dalang really believe it just now?"

Li Dalang choked and looked at Ouyang Rong with a sad look in his eyes: "It's hard for anyone to stay calm, okay? Who makes Tan Lang so handsome and talented..."

Ouyang Rong said with a straight face: "But I am pure love. It doesn't matter if you don't believe them. You don't believe me."

Li Dalang nodded perfunctorily: "Okay, okay. One pure one is pure, two pure ones are pure, there is no delay."

Ouyang Rong: "...?"

Before he could speak, Li Dalang closed the lid of the tea and asked with a lively face:

"Tan Lang, what do you think of her after you have gotten along together? I'm not lying to you. She does not have any ill intentions towards us. She is not like those Wei children at all..."

Ouyang Rong suddenly interrupted: "I don't think so. By the way, Wei Shaoqi's ashes were sent away a few days ago. She stayed in Xunyang City temporarily, saying she wanted to pay homage to Buddha and pray for blessings. Do you know about this?"

"I know." Li Dalang nodded vigorously.

"Okay." Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes and asked, "Then from now on, Da Lang had better not go looking for her again. Don't have any pre-prepared chance encounters like today. Da Lang understands."

"Why is this? Wait, Tanlang, I don't have anything today..."

Ouyang Rong stood up and patted his sleeves:

"Whether there is or not, forget it before. Now Wei suddenly leaves her in Jiangzhou. It doesn't look like she is here to enjoy the mountains and rivers."

Li Dalang couldn't help but ask:

"But haven't you and A-mei analyzed that there are also differences within the Wei family? Compared with King Wei who has always dreamed of an imperial heir, Prince Liang's Palace is relatively conservative and prudent, and Wei Anhui happens to be a female dependent of Prince Liang's Palace."

Ouyang Rong nodded lightly:

"According to our previous situation analysis, there are differences within the Wei family. The Donglin Giant Buddha now needs to rely on us to repair it. The Wei family does not dare to deal with us and harm you and the prince for the time being."

He paused for a moment, and indeed hesitantly uttered a "but":

"But Dalang, don't forget that the Wei family used the king's token to pretend to be a messenger to trick us out of the city. At that time, we didn't expect that they would dare to come like this, so we should never put our hope in the kindness of our opponents.

"Another lesson is that Jiangzhou is too far away from Shendu, and it takes time for every change in Shendu to reach Jiangzhou. We have to be wary of the Wei family or other potential opponents trying to play time and information gaps with us.

"In fact, this is why we are trying our best to return to the capital of God. The closer we are to the center of power, the smaller the information gap and the more opportunities there are."

"I know, Tan Lang..." Li Dalang asked with a sad face: "Then... can I take a look from a distance..."

"No, Dalang, are you really in love?"

"No, I'm just curious and want to see what she is doing every day."

Ouyang Rong narrowed his eyes at Li Dalang for a while, put down his tea cup, turned around and went downstairs, leaving only one sentence:

"Dalang, don't forget how her two cousins ​​and fiancé died. Let's call her a good person now, but no matter how kind a rabbit is, there will be a day when the elders tell the wolf that the wolf is a natural enemy. Hatred can be relied on blood.

It is said that it is like this in ancient and modern times."

Li Dalang fell into silence.

Leaving behind his friend who was bowing his head in thought, Ouyang Rong went downstairs.

He returned to the Huaiye Lane mansion with a calm expression.

Entering Yin Bing Zhai, Ye Weilai was tiptoeing under the clothesline in the courtyard to collect clothes. She turned around and said:

"Tanlang, here is your letter. Miss Xie sent it this afternoon and placed it on your desk."

"Oh?" Ouyang Rong walked to the desk, picked up the new letter, and glanced at the wax seal.

It was a reply from Huang Xuan from Maoshan in Shangqing.

"Xiaoxuan is so fast."

Ouyang Rong immediately opened the envelope, lowered his head and took a closer look...
