But today, Ouyang Rong took the initiative to propose "offering the tripod sword" and even listed it as the best option.

Xie Lingjiang hugged the sword box tightly, glanced at it, and frowned deeply.

Li Xian's family was silent for a long time.

Li Guo'er was the first to ask, with a rare soft tone:

"Ouyang Lianghan, are you afraid that Rong Zhen, Wei Wu and others already know that you are the owner of Die Lianhua and that you have the Cauldron Sword? Are you afraid that they will complain first and distort the truth in front of the saint, thus complicating us?

"So I thought, let's offer it up first to expose the Wei family in exchange for credit."

Ouyang Rong glanced at Li Guo'er.

This stunning little girl with a black carpet wrapped around her shoulders continued to analyze for him:

"Actually, there is no need to sacrifice like this. I think Zhongce is very good. This tripod sword belongs to you and you cannot sacrifice it for us.

"As for the exposure of Dingjian, there is no need to worry too much. On the contrary, I think that the Wei family may not do such a stupid thing. Even if they knew that Dingjian was with us, they would probably not dare to make it public. Even you, Master Dielianhua,

I don’t dare to reveal my identity. Of course, the premise is that we successfully implement your middle strategy and let my father enter the palace.

"As long as you stay in front of the imperial court and in the capital, it will be difficult for them to kill first and then pour dirty water on you. Once you reveal your identity as the sword holder and the [craftsman's work], we will take it out and let the saints investigate it in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

, let’s see who is harming the country and stealing the tripod sword.

"Mr. Wei must be more guilty than us about this matter."

Li Dalang immediately nodded in agreement:

"That's right, Tanlang, you are the sword holder. How can you do it without the tripod sword? This great opportunity is hard-earned and cannot be given in vain. Even if we can get the credit, our father will feel guilty for taking it."

Li Xian reached out and patted Ouyang Rong's sleeves:

"That's right, Tanlang is a great righteousness, and I understand it from my heart, but this matter must not be done."

Wei Mei took her husband's arm and said warmly to Ouyang Rong:

"Yes, although we regard Tanlang as one of our own family members, there are some things that must be clearly distinguished. Public and private affairs cannot be confused. The tripod sword belongs to you, Tanlang, and cannot be taken lightly. Although it sounds very tempting, to put it harshly, this great power

It's too difficult to change En, so Tanlang just thinks it's for Qilang's sake and don't put too much pressure on him."

After talking about it, the woman was half-joking.

Xie Lingjiang clutched Ouyang Rong's sleeves and said with an elegant expression:

"Elder brother, don't forget one more thing. The senior sisters of Xiu Niang haven't taken action yet. The eldest lady has a hot temper. She can endure it until now. There must be some unknown reason. Their behavior this time

The attack may be unfathomable. Now that Xunyang Grottoes are closed, people who know the identity of your sword holder cannot get out. What if the Buddha is destroyed later and they can't get out alive?

"By then there will be no evidence, so let's not think too far ahead now. It's good to implement the middle strategy. In my opinion, this middle strategy is the best strategy. Senior brother, this strategy is very good."

Before Ouyang Rong could speak, everyone nodded and quickly reached an agreement:

"That's right, don't worry yet! Let's take a look at the situation first."

Ouyang Rong looked at the people who spoke sincerely.

In fact, he really wanted to say that offering the cauldron sword may not be the one they thought.

But seeing the attitude of Li Xian's family, I felt warm in my heart.

Without speaking immediately, Ouyang Rong suddenly reached out and pulled out the moonlight sword from Xie Lingjiang's waist. After pulling it out, he looked down at it.

When everyone saw him observing the sword, they whispered:

"Although the middle strategy is very feasible, in the end it will be fruitless. It is just a trick to return to Beijing. We have no merit. We lack the previously expected contribution to the Buddha. The saint's attitude towards us may be very subtle. I am afraid that by then there will be news that the Donglin Giant Buddha will be destroyed.

If it is transmitted, it will drag us down and affect the saint's sense of us.

"The Cauldron Sword is different. It has great merits and can make the final decision. The most important thing is to bind this Cauldron Sword to our people, so that the saint must use us to prove our value, just like the Wei family's two Like a king."

Li Guoer didn't know what he thought of, and looked at Ouyang Rong.

"Is presenting the cauldron sword really considered a meritorious service? What if the imperial grandmother no longer cares about the cauldron sword because of the ancestral teachings?"

Ouyang Rongyan said categorically:

"Don't care about the Cauldron Sword? Then why did the Wei family build the Sifang Buddha statues and the Great Zhou Songde Tianshu this time? They are a large formation surrounding the 'Emperor Wen'. If you understand this, you can understand the status of the Cauldron Sword in the hearts of the saints. The saints He coveted the power of the Cauldron Sword, so the Wei family tried every means to use it to please the saint and take credit for the throne of the emperor. This was just like when the Wei family instigated the change of Qian to Zhou. On the surface, the Wei family was causing harm to the country, but in fact, it was doing what the saint wanted. ... Regardless of these, if we also offer a tripod sword and give it as auspiciousness, we will be able to win even more."

But Li Guo'er shook his head: "But there is a question, how to explain this tripod sword? Is it possible to take the initiative to say that it is newly cast?"

Ouyang Rong looked at the moonlight sword and said softly:

"The Great Sui Sword."

Everyone thought he was talking about [craftsmanship], Li Guoer continued to frown and said:

"It's feasible, but the ancestral precepts are there after all, and there are huge obstacles in the court. Even the Wei family used the Sifang Buddha statue and Songde Tianshu to secretly cross Chencang [Emperor Wen]. It may be difficult for the imperial grandmother to express her love for the tripod sword. , if we directly offer the tripod sword, wouldn’t it be inappropriate? It might be a thankless task, and let the father follow his words..."

Ouyang Rong suddenly said: "I have a question, who stipulated that the ancestral precepts of the Li family must be able to control today's saints?"

Li Dalang was solemn: "What does this mean? Tan Lang means...isn't the imperial grandmother not considered Li's family member? This..."

"Of course not."

Ouyang Rong waved his hand, looked around, and asked in a strange tone:

"If I remember correctly, what Taizong said is... the descendants of the Li family in later generations cannot forge cauldron swords, but today's saints are women. Even if they are from the Li family, they are not descendants of the Li family. Disciples have always been referred to as boys. Who can say that? Can you restrain the daughter who left home?"

Everyone was stunned, and Li Bao'er also had a small face.

Good guy, can this also work?

Li Xian and others, who were originally serious, suddenly looked at each other in confusion.

Wait, don't say it, don't say it...

Some people began to realize that this sophistry seemed to help the saint circumvent the principle of using the cauldron sword.

Ouyang Rong's smile did not change, Xie Lingjiang, Li Xian and others gradually looked strange.

A certain little princess with plum blossom makeup glanced twice at the smiling young man in scholar's shirt, but she remained silent.
