"Ouyang Lianghan, you have never seen the Ding Sword or its power. I am lucky enough to have seen the power of [Emperor Wen]. It is unforgettable. Even a Qi practitioner is nothing but a chopping block in front of it.

The fish meat on the body can be slaughtered at will, and the edge of the tripod sword against the mortal body is like the bright moon in the heart of the sky against the fluorescent light of rotting grass, which is simply devastating."

"Okay, I've learned a lesson."

Ouyang Rong sighed and waited for a moment. Seeing that Rong Zhen didn't speak for a long time, he asked directly:

"What happened to the special quota that Lin Cheng mentioned?"

Rong Zhen lowered his eyes and said:

"Each of the Four Great Buddhas needs a presiding person. They are considered to be a different type of sword holder. The requirements are relatively loose, but Si Tianjian's selection is also very strict... I have been approved by His Majesty and Grand Siming to take a quota."

The atmosphere was quiet for a while.

"Hahaha."

Everyone couldn't help but look sideways at the young governor who suddenly smiled.

Rong Zhen raised her head with some doubts, looked at Ouyang Rong for a while, and said with a somewhat unspeakable sadness:

"Ouyang Lianghan, do you think you have discovered my selfish motives? Do you think I am using you during these times?"

"It's not this. I suddenly wanted to understand something, a little detail."

Rong Zhen stared at him and his voice softened: "What's the matter?"

Ouyang Rong pointed at the Buddha, facing the petite lady Shi, still smiling and saying:

"So, it was precisely because it was completed that Rong Nu Shi went to discuss with me about today's celebration ceremony, right?

"You're not here to ask for credit, but to lure people from the Tiannan Jianghu over, give them time, wait for them to take action, and catch them all in one fell swoop.

"Including your previous proposal to build the Big Buddha secretly for this reason. Once the Big Buddha is built and the formation is completed, we will no longer be afraid of these rebels, but will be afraid that they will not be able to escape.

"So, your Si Tianjian's trip to Xunyang City in Jiangzhou to supervise the construction of the giant Buddha and perfect the formation is just one part of it. Well, it is undeniable the most important part, but the real purpose is far more than that.

"After the giant Buddha is built, your next step is to clean up all the dissidents and rebels in Tiannan Jianghu. This is the important thing, right? You can also get a huge credit by killing Tiannan Jianghu.

There is a bloody storm, there are many heads of people, and there is a steady stream of achievements to be harvested."

Ouyang Rong smiled and said: "I knew that with your temperament, how could you flatter me like this? I was still wondering at the time."

Rong Zhen was stunned for a moment, stared at him and asked:

"You are so determined that I will hold a celebration ceremony, aren't you really trying to please the Holy Face?"

Although Ouyang Rong smiled, his eyes were very calm and he said with great certainty:

"Rong Nu Shi is a very noble person. The excuse of trying to please Sheng Yan might be valid when used in Song Dynasty... It might be true when applied to other Luoyang palace people, but when it comes to Rong Nu Shi..."

He shook his head: "With Rong Nu Shi's ambition, she will do big things and take action to win. She will disdain such trivial things as flattery."

Not sure if she heard it wrong, Nanny Song frowned and glanced at Ouyang Rong, her eyes a little suspicious.

Ouyang Rong turned a deaf ear and did not look at the old woman with blank eyes.

After Rong Zhen finished listening, he was silent for a moment and looked away.

I don’t know if it’s because of the morning sun, but the little face that was exposed to the sun was slightly white and rosy, as if she was moved.

She took a deep breath and spoke softly:

"First of all, the celebration ceremony is not entirely a decoy. I want to give you...well, I want to ask for your merits and rewards, so I invited Yuan Huaimin to come over and paint.

"Secondly, for today's celebration, I really want to invite you to the urn to catch them all and avoid future troubles. If they don't come, I will be disappointed.

"In addition, Ouyang Lianghan, the Buddha you have devoted your whole life to help build is the greatest confidence of this palace. No matter whether it succeeds today or not, you have made a great contribution.

"Finally, the wording of your sentence just now is wrong. The word 'you' means 'we', and we are right. This is not only my fault, but also yours. Do you understand?"

Ouyang Rong stopped his smile and shook his head seriously:

"No, it's not for me. At least the subsequent credit is no longer what I'm after, but what you want.

"As the parent official of Jiangzhou, I have been in charge of my political affairs. The stability, prosperity, and adequate food and clothing of Jiangzhou have always been the most important thing in my heart. The reason why I was willing to take over the mission of building the Giant Buddha was also based on this point.

, the bottom line is not to waste one's life and lose money, and the credit and other things are put behind.

"It's just that at that time, I never thought that this giant Buddha would have such a mystery... As a result, it attracted people like Tiannan Jianghu, which led to today's crisis. It is foreseeable that the conflict and struggle against this Buddha statue will continue after today.

It is inevitable, and Xunyang City, where thousands of people live, is right next to it, and the golden waterway that is related to the prosperity of Xunyang also flows here."

Ouyang Rong rubbed his face vigorously and continued:

"Rong Nu Shi, the current situation has begun to run counter to my original intention, and it is also gradually far away from my promise to the folks in Xunyang that the Buddha will not work for the people or money."

"Perhaps, Rong Nu Shi, Deputy Supervisor Song... you people who have come from the gods have a bigger picture and a broader vision. You will say that you are standing on the starting point of long-term peace and stability south of the Yangtze River and even the entire Great Zhou territory.

I hope to attract all the dissidents from Tiannan Jianghu and catch them all in one fell swoop."

He put down his palms, his face expressionless, and his tone calm:

"For this reason, even if there are a few innocent casualties and small sacrifices, we can accept it, taking the overall situation into consideration, such as the casualties of the people in this small Xunyang, such as the sacrifice of this mere Jiangzhou

The prosperity of a state, right?

"I'm sorry. I apologize that I don't have this layout. The field of vision is too small. Currently, I can only accommodate a small Xunyang City. I just want to ensure that the weather here is smooth, prosperous and stable. I won't fight if I can. At least don't deliberately cause trouble.

Come to Xunyang City to fight..."

Hearing Ouyang Rong's somewhat serious tone, Rong Zhen looked like he was not surprised.

She quickly took a step forward and said comfortingly:

"I know, I know, just as you know me, I don't know you, Ouyang Lianghan, don't be angry...don't be angry with me, listen to me..."

Ouyang Rong suddenly asked:

"The female historian has long anticipated my attitude, so she has delayed telling me the mystery of the Giant Buddha, is it because she is afraid that I will not cooperate? Any confidential investigation is just an excuse. We will wait until the Giant Buddha is built. As for the violent events in Tiannan Jianghu,

reaction,

It's best to look like they are sensitive and stressed. They seem to be looking for trouble and come inexplicably to compete with a giant Buddha that can't be hit with eight poles. In this way, I can only adapt to the situation and cooperate with you. Yes or no, Ms. Shi.

?”

Rong Zhen's eyelashes trembled.
