On the third floor of Yunshui Pavilion, in the Qinghe box.

The atmosphere was silent.

Under Rong Zhen's expressionless gaze.

Ouyang Rong turned his head, looking at the tea on the ground with a somewhat lost expression, and then looked at the cold and cold girl in palace clothes sitting in front of him.

"Why is Rong Nu Shi here?" he asked.

"Who is Ouyang Changshi waiting for?"

Rong Zhen asked reluctantly.

Ouyang Rong came back to his senses, frowned and asked:

"How did you know I was...wait, couldn't you have been at Yunshui Pavilion all afternoon? Did you follow me here? Why didn't you come in before? Waited all afternoon?"

Rong Zhen said calmly: "Didn't you wait all afternoon? Who are you waiting for?"

Ouyang Rong looked hesitant:

"This is different. I...I thought it was Brother Qin or his people who came back."

"Brother Qin?" Rong Zhen narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

"Yes. General Qin Heng, the former captain of Guoyi in Zhechong Prefecture."

Ouyang Rong nodded and admitted, but his face turned red and he looked away cautiously:

"It may be a bit awkward to say it, Rong Nu Shi is not joking... Actually, Brother Qin and I have a very good relationship. I knew him when I was the county magistrate in Longcheng.

"Now we are working together in the same place, and later we agreed on some signals that only two people know.

"Isn't he going on an expedition now? But today my people discovered that there is a new signal coming from over there..."

Rong Zhen listened, his face a little stunned, and then he showed a dubious expression.

She frowned and stared at Ouyang Rong's face as he came slowly, looking at his face intently, not missing any subtle expression.

At this moment, Rong Zhen saw Ouyang Rong looking around and sighed:

"So I took half a day off and came to this old place to wait for someone, but no one came... Um, why on earth did I get to be here? By chance?"

Rong Zhen didn't answer.

Ouyang Rong looked at her with a curious face, frowning.

He stood up and walked over, squatted down and picked up the tea cup, then took out a new tea cup and poured a new cup of hot tea for the cold and cold girl in front of him.

Rong Zhen didn't go to take the tea cup, his handcuffs were still in his sleeves, and he was vaguely alert.

Ouyang Rong carefully pushed the teacup in front of her and asked:

"The relationship with Qin Heng is my personal relationship. General Qin Heng has actually never met anyone from Prince Xunyang's palace.

"Although the prince and the prince have known about this matter for a long time, the two of them have never exchanged letters. It should not be considered as the feudal king colluding with the generals, right?"

Rong Zhen saw Ouyang Rong's hesitant expression and sighed:

"If I insist on telling you, I won't hide it from Rong Nvshi, because he wrote a letter to the garrison returning from the north before the rebellion to plead for mercy. General Qin was indeed very grateful to the prince and me. It can be regarded as an unknown friendship.

"But General Qin has never disclosed the frontline confidential military information to us from the beginning to the end. I, Ouyang Lianghan, can vouch for this with my personality. If you don't believe Rong Nu Shi, you can also investigate thoroughly.

"In addition, General Qin no longer has any entanglements with the garrison soldiers who returned to the north, including Cai Qin. Now that national affairs are more important, he will not miss his old friendship..."

Ouyang Rong, who was sitting behind the coffee table, adjusted his posture, straightened his back, and said seriously:

"Actually, the signal warning we agreed on is more for other reasons. It has been prepared a long time ago. It is too boring. Rong Nushi, you should also know clearly about the relationship between the Prince Xunyang Palace and me and certain people.

not too good……"

"Of course, there is one thing that I must face squarely, and I will not escape this mistake."

He raised his right hand as if swearing, like raising his hand to admit a mistake in class, and continued to say:

"As the governor of Jiangzhou, I should only be in charge of civil affairs and logistics, and should not have too much contact with the military leaders. I don't have the corresponding military power like the governor. This is my fault. I don't blame Rong Nvshi for investigating.

Come here today to investigate!"

Rong Zhen suddenly said:

"Do you think this is why I'm here?"

Ouyang Rong was slightly stunned:

"Ah? Otherwise? Didn't Rong Nushi just ask me who I'm waiting for when we meet..."

He paused before speaking and said with a wry smile:

"Does Rong Nushi not know who I'm waiting for, or does she think I'm waiting for someone else?"

Speaking of this, Ouyang Rong looked curious:

"Who do you think you are waiting for?"

Rong Zhen frowned and looked at him without saying a word.

Ouyang Rong suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and looked at the tea, then looked at himself who was sitting upright and seriously admitting his mistake.

His expression became more and more embarrassed, and he hesitated:

"Rong Nu Shi, can you just pretend that you didn't hear what you just said? Let's just ignore it. Let's... let's try it again. Ahem, can you pretend that nothing happened?"

His serious advice.

"Ouyang Lianghan!"

Rong Zhen didn't know why, but he suddenly became angry and scolded him with a straight face:

"You thought it was just playing house, and you took it back?!"

Ouyang Rong closed his mouth and looked at his nose and heart.

Rong Zhen's eyebrows were raised as she stared at the person who had calmed down. The skirt of her palace skirt rose and fell around her inconspicuous but heavy breasts.

Maybe it was his unserious face that I saw, or maybe it was something that I seemed to have misunderstood today.

The cold and cold girl in palace clothes was a little angry.

She suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

"get out."

Ouyang Rong immediately put on his boots and went out, and found Rong Zhen walking straight downstairs, so he followed him step by step.

Ouyang Rong was walking behind and could not clearly see her expression in front of her.

"Where are we going?"

"Shut up."

Ouyang Rong looked around, changed the topic, and asked with a puzzled look:

"So Rong Nushi initially thought you were waiting for someone?"

Rong Zhen ignored him and walked in front.

The two of them went downstairs and arrived at the backyard of Yunshui Pavilion.

We arrived at the place where the guests' carriages were parked.

It's almost dusk now, looking at the mountains in the distance, the last touch of the orange-red sunset cuts the sky and the earth into two halves, yin and yang.

Xunyang City is in the gap between day and day and night.

Most people's houses have not yet lit up their lights, and there is no scene of tens of thousands of lights. Most buildings in the city are still dark, including those near Yunshui Pavilion.

But when Ouyang Rong followed Rong Zhen to the backyard, he immediately saw more than twenty silent figures hidden in the darkness of the courtyard.

They are all female officials from Si Tian Jian! There are even some of them that Ouyang Rong is quite familiar with and even greets them every day.

Their positions were very particular, and they vaguely surrounded an ordinary carriage in the yard, as well as the main building of Yunshui Pavilion in front of them.

As Ouyang Rong walked out, all the female officials in the darkness turned their heads silently to look.

But Ouyang Rong's eyes fell directly on the familiar carriage in the center of the courtyard.

Looking back at his increasingly serious expression, Rong Zhen pursed her pink lips.

At this time, a middle-aged female official walked out of the darkness next to her and whispered in Rong Zhen's ear:

"Ms. Shi, Lin Cheng is also here, asking what's going on and if he needs help..."

Ouyang Rong turned his head when he heard the words and vaguely saw the figure of a certain Xia Guan Lingtai Lang wandering in the alley not far from the courtyard gate.

Rong Zhenqiangxiu walked towards the carriage and without looking back he said:

"Let him go."

"Yes, Ms. Shi."

The middle-aged female officer nodded, first glanced at Ouyang Rong who was looking around, then walked out of the backyard, and even closed the courtyard door after going out.

Rong Zhen stopped beside the carriage, turned around, and cast his cold eyes on Ouyang Rong.
