The latter remained silent and continued to follow.

The two of them boarded the carriage together.

The interior of the carriage was pitch dark, no one lit a lamp, and in the darkness there were two breaths belonging to a woman, one rapid and one steady.

It's Ye Weilai and Miaozhen.

After Ouyang Rong saw it, his expression was solemn and showed no surprise at all.

Because this was the carriage that Ye Weilai took when she left in the morning.

At that time, Ouyang Rong ordered her to finish opening the box and return to the Huaiye Lane mansion immediately.

At this moment, Ye Weilai had a haggard face, and a few strands of hair fell from her forehead. When she saw Ouyang Rong getting into the car, she remained motionless and did not speak. Her mouth was tightly closed, and only her eyes could move left and right.

Miaozhen sat next to her, placing his palms on her thin shoulders.

The two of them were like statues, both motionless.

Rong Zhen sat down.

Miaozhen, who rushed back from the frontline military camp, took a deep look at Ouyang Rong, who had a normal expression. She stood up and got out of the car. Before leaving, she said:

"The little girl is quite strict."

After Miaozhen left, only Rongzhen, Ouyang Rong, and Ye Weila were left in the carriage.

Ouyang Rong didn't look at Ye Weila more, turned around and asked directly:

"Si Tianjian arranged for all the Qi practitioners in Jiang and Hong states to come. Well, except for the new Lin Cheng."

Rong Zhen didn't seem to hear. He picked up a small dagger from the small coffee table in the carriage and lowered his head to look at it.

Ouyang Rong knew that this was Ye Weilai's self-defense dagger.

But at this moment, after Miaozhen left, the white-haired girl was still sitting motionless...seemingly frozen.

The handsome young man who came without a piano case today immediately smiled and asked:

"So, who are we going to deal with? Does the female historian have clues about the thief? Why don't you catch the thief without shouting...

"But fortunately, I happened to be here to have tea, so it doesn't count as my absence."

Rong Zhen looked at him without saying a word. Under her silent sight, someone continued to nod and said:

"So, did Rong Nushi happen to meet me, or is the thief waiting for me... me?"

In the darkness, the girl in palace clothes lowered her eyes to watch the sword and answered softly:

"Waiting for those who are waiting."

Ouyang Rong frowned and asked, "Qin Heng?"

Rong Zhen turned the dagger, and the cold light shone on half of the man's face, revealing a puzzled expression on his face.

"Are you really waiting for Qin Heng and his people?" she asked back.

The expression on Ouyang Rong's face slowly calmed down, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath:

"Rong Nu Shi, please don't beat around the bush anymore. I'm... a little tired. I always have something to say. I don't want to repeat those words that I know I'm asking. One is one, two is two, why are there so many twists and turns."

"Are you angry?" Rong Zhen asked.

"No."

"You're angry." She said seriously.

"I'm just tired."

"Heart?"

On the side, Ye Weilai, who was sitting upright, glanced sideways at the two people who were talking quickly.

Ouyang Rong said without opening his eyes: "Actually, there are some things that the female historian can directly ask the subordinates."

Rong Zhen didn't seem to hear him. He stared at his expression for a while and suddenly said loudly:

"Ouyang Lianghan, if you are angry, I won't be angry. If you are tired, I won't..."

She paused in her words, and the cold light of the dagger in her hand suddenly penetrated the eyes of the white-haired girl peeping sideways.

Ye Weilai closed her eyes tightly, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes that were stung by the "light".

Rong Zhen didn't look sideways and spoke again:

"There is a very important matter that you did not tell me the truth about... about Yunmeng Yue Nu."

"Yue Nu?" Ouyang Rong nodded: "I understand, did the female historian believe what he said jokingly when the Supervisory Council was discussing the matter? Did she believe the dirty water splashed by Wang Lengran, Wei Shaoqi and the others?"

Rong Zhen lowered her eyelashes and said:

"I didn't believe them. Remember, after the last meeting, before leaving, I asked you if you still remember that our first meeting was like this. We were in the carriage outside the West City Gate, and you provided clues.

Something?"

"Remember."

"After mentioning this matter at that time, I actually remembered one more thing."

"What time"?

Rong Zhen threw Ye Weilai's dagger on the floor of the carriage and said without blinking:

"The virgin splits the view.

"Your personal maid knows how to use a sword as a jade girl.

"This move comes from the legend of the first Yue virgin in the Spring and Autumn Period, who killed Jiao Biguan. Although she only learned the basics of it, it definitely came from the swordsmanship of Yunmeng Jianze.

"So, Ouyang Lianghan, what is the relationship between your maid and Yunmeng Jianze? Do you know a Yue girl who is a female monarch? Or is she just a little Yue girl?

"You have never explained this matter to me. Do you think I have forgotten it, or something?

"In the past, that was fine. At that time, there was no sign that Yunmeng Jianze was involved in the Donglin Giant Buddha, but now..."

The cold and cold girl in palace clothes stopped talking at the last minute.

"oh."

Ouyang Rong nodded calmly and asked:

"So these days, you haven't seen me, and you haven't seen anyone in the morning. Are you trying to give me dignity and wait for me to take the initiative to speak out, or are you saying that... you have seriously suspected me and are silently looking for clues, like today, to lure the snake out of the hole and catch them all?"

Rong Zhen asked seriously: "Is this difference...important?"

"Isn't it important?"

"Is it important?"

"Maybe it really isn't important."

Ouyang Rong nodded, shook his head again, and finally sighed:

"I have always felt that I and Lady Shi are comrades who trust each other... and that together we can do well in Xunyang City and fulfill our responsibilities for the people of Great Zhou."

Rong Zhen interrupted:

"Before that discussion, I also trusted you, but I must strictly investigate any doubts. The more you trust someone, the more you must investigate thoroughly. You cannot rely solely on relationships. I am responsible for everyone."

"good."

Ouyang Rong opened his eyes, which were surprisingly quiet. He no longer called her "Ms. Shi".

"Rong Zhen, I remember someone once said that everyone has selfish motives, big or small."

"Yes."

"Rong Zhen, I do have selfish motives," he said.

"you say."

"That time at the meeting, I wasn't actually joking. I did know the maiden name of a Yue girl, so I knew her. She...may be a female queen."

"Why? What does acquaintance mean?"

"Because...she was once a child bride."

Rong Zhen suddenly turned his head.

"What?"
