Li Dalang looked troubled and said:

"What do you think Tan Lang should do with the person named Wang? Otherwise, I'm afraid that if the envoy comes, he won't be able to make it in time."

"Need not."

Ouyang Rong shook his head and explained:

"If it's the first two, let Wang Junzhi shine for the last time and help the prince show his loyalty.

"If the latter is indifferent... Your Majesty can immediately consider the retreat mentioned by Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The atmosphere was silent.

This small discussion ended with Li Xian sighing,

Ouyang Rong walked out of the study, did not leave immediately, turned around and headed to the living room.

In the past two days, this living room has become the most closely guarded place in the palace, and no one is allowed to enter.

Ouyang Rong saw the beautiful figure of his junior sister on the roof.

Quite unexpectedly, a certain little princess with plum blossom makeup was also there.

"Why are you here, Your Highness the Princess? Why don't you go back to rest?"

On the roof, Xie Lingjiang and Li Bao'er were sitting side by side. Ouyang Rong walked over and sat down next to Xie Lingjiang, separated from Li Bao'er.

After Ouyang Rong asked casually, Li Bao'er shook his head, holding a letter sword that had been stabbed by Wei Shaoxuan in his arms, looking at the night of the Yangtze River in the distance in trance,

The wind blew up a few strands of hair on the temples, which made this stunning little face look charming.

Ouyang Rong didn't look at it much. Xie Lingjiang took his left palm with both hands, put their hands together, and tested the temperature. She rubbed the back of his palms with her bare hands. She leaned closer and breathed out the orchid breeze.

Li Bao'er seemed to have regained consciousness and glanced.

"Here."

Ouyang Rong took out a package of pastries wrapped in oil paper from his arms and handed it to his junior sister.

"I came back in the afternoon and passed by Xingzifang. I saw that the time-honored cake shop you like to eat was open."

Xie Ling Jiang couldn't suppress the curve of his lips, but his pretty face showed an angry look, and his tone was a little accusatory:

"It's too sweet and will make you fat."

"It sounds like you will lose weight if you don't eat."

"...?"

A probing hand twisted his waist ninety degrees. Ouyang Rong straightened his waist and took a breath of cold air.

Just when Li Guo'er was about to stand up and say goodbye, a certain pair of senior brothers and sisters finally finished their quarrel.

Xie Lingjiang wrinkled Xiaoqiong's nose:

"What time has it been? Senior brother is still joking."

Ouyang Rong smiled.

Li Bao'er didn't look back and asked, "Why don't you go back?"

"Come and sit with us."

Xie Lingjiang asked in a low voice: "Is Senior Brother also nervous?"

"I am not a god. I am a mortal and have seven emotions and six desires."

Ouyang Rong replied with a smile, then turned his head and looked at the house below him.

"Thank you for your hard work, staying here most of the night."

"It's okay. This Wang Junzhi is cunning, and I don't trust the others. I have to guard it myself. But we are just working hard. Senior brother, you are working hard, and it will be even harder."

Xie Lingjiang reached out her hand gently, straightened Ouyang Rong's collar, and said softly:

"A few days ago, I saw that you didn't say much about Wang Junzhi's matter... I haven't asked Li Zhengyan, senior brother, what Wang Junzhi and the others did. Isn't Senior Brother not angry at all?"

"What's the use of being angry, it won't solve the problem."

The two girls saw Ouyang Rong and shook their heads.

"But there are always feelings."

"Do you feel it..."

He rubbed his face:

"I really hate this feeling of being plotted against."

Li Guoer suddenly asked:

"Ouyang Lianghan, Zuo Changshi of Kuangfu Mansion, one person is worth more than ten thousand people. Li Zhengyan is sincere and sincere, and the conditions of Li Xian Corporal, are you not tempted at all?"

She pursed her pink lips and said to Ouyang Rong:

"You have a saying that makes sense, chaos is a ladder, and this is not just for Wei.

"The same applies to ambitious heroes like Li Zhengyan. You said, my father and brother cannot suppress Li Zhengyan and others, and they will easily become mascots.

"But what about you?

"You didn't mention this.

"Now you are being oppressed by villains in Xunyang City. Scholars can be killed but not humiliated. You have suffered such a great humiliation.

"But now you just need to nod a little and switch there. With your talent and knowledge of the bloated local system of the Zhou Dynasty, you can help Li Zhengyan easily win Jiangnan...

"Wang Lengran is waiting for Wei's minions. They are making noise now, but in the blink of an eye they can fall into your hands and avenge their shame.

"Not to mention, you have much greater power than Jiang Governor Shi. It is not difficult for you to follow Li Zhengyan in starting a rebellion and gain the power of a feudal lord.

"Don't you feel moved at all?"

Li Guo'er took a breath and asked what he had been thinking in the past few days.

Ouyang Rong looked at her but said nothing.

Li Guoer frowned and guessed:

"Or, you have other plans in mind, and you trust our family more and are unwilling to take Li Zhengyan's dangerous path..."

Xie Lingjiang interrupted:

"Dangerous road? Now Xunyang City is like an isolated city, exposed to the front of Cai Qin's army, and your family is also on guard by the court. I want to ask, which one is the dangerous road?"

Li Baoer was silent.

The air in the triple room on the rooftop was quiet for a while.

"Want to hear the truth or lies."

Ouyang Rong turned his head and asked with a smile.

The two girls were stunned for a moment.

"Lies." Xie Lingjiang tilted his head slightly and said first.

"The lie is that I was born as a Jinshi of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I have long been favored by the emperor and am loyal to His Majesty. I am incompatible with them and other rebels. How can I defect to them? It is simply an insult to gentlemen."

The corners of the two women's mouths twitched.

Xie Lingjiang glared at him: "Then tell the truth."

Ouyang Rong smiled and his expression gradually became serious:

"The truth is...

"I am actually very moved by Li Zhengyan's request and even eager to give it a try.

"When I think about it, in the past, I would be able to do a lot of free and bold things. It would be much more enjoyable than being constrained now. The sea and the sky would be vast... I feel a little longing for it."

The two women were stunned, with complex expressions on their faces. They didn't expect that he would have such thoughts under his calm appearance the past few days.

I couldn't help but ask: "Then why do you repeatedly advise us to restrain..."

Ouyang Rong replied softly:

"Because that's just for me, it's a good choice.

"But as Her Royal Highness the little princess said, this is most likely not the best choice for Uncle Li, Da Lang, and even the thousands of people in the Jianghuai area behind him."

He looked at the two girls and whispered:

"The book says that one general's success can cause thousands of bones to wither.

"Not just me, but also Li Zhengyan, Wei Shaoqi, Du Shuqing, Wang Junzhi, and even the young Prince Teng who turned against me.

“I often think about how many ‘ten thousand bones’ are needed to achieve these ‘one generals’?

"Is it really time to do this now?"

Ouyang Rong seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be asking the two girls.

"Well, let's be treasonous. Let's take what Kuang Fuli did.
