Ouyang Rong remembers that Li Congshan seemed to be an elite scout of the border army.
There is a special set of Qi refining techniques that specialize in.
You can track the enemy based on clues.
He asked:
"You mean, among the White Tiger Guards, Li Congshan was not the confidant promoted by Yi Qianqiu?"
"That's right, to put it strictly, Yi Qianqiu was favored by the saints and was parachuted to the White Tiger Guard. Previously, Qiu Shenji, a famous military master in the border army, rose all the way from the White Tiger Guard, and left the White Tiger Guard. He seemed to be close to Wei Jisi and others, and became the teacher of a young man in the King of Wei's Mansion. He was also one of the most important disciples of the Wei family. You also know that, that is, the old things in Longcheng, you must know the best."
Rong Zhen spoke clearly and said one by one. Speaking of this, he looked at the cloth scroll placed on the table with a strange look.
Ouyang Rong thought something:
"Qiu Shenji stayed in the White Tiger Guard for many years, but was later won over by Wei Jisi. In this way, the White Tiger Guard can be regarded as the sphere of influence of the Wei family. If I were Wei Jisi, I would also manage it carefully."
Rong Zhen’s head:
"That's true. The last time Wei Wu came to Xunyang City, he was able to set up a network of heaven and earth. In addition to the fact that I was ignorant of the situation, Wei Jisi took the opportunity to win over Deputy Supervisor Song and Commander Yi, and made them turn a blind eye, there is also a factor in which many generals in the White Tiger Guard have close ties with the Wei family."
Ouyang Rong nodded slowly and sighed.
"Look at this, when I asked you for reinforcements, Luoyang sent a special White Tiger Guard to come. The Wei Palace has already made arrangements. I really want to destroy the Xunyang Palace, even if the enemy is in front of you."
Rong Zhen lowered his eyes slightly, feeling a little distracted.
Speaking of the past, Ouyang Rong found that her emotions were faintly disappointed, so he stopped talking, and changed the topic. "Li Congshan was young and was promoted from the border scout, faster than Wei Mi. This is still the background of Wei's family in the south of the city. In addition to being outstanding in military achievements and young and promising, there was no one behind him. It is impossible. The scout's qi technique that tracks prey may have been taught by Qiu Shenji."
Rong Zhen’s head:
"I don't know much about Wei Jisi's control over the White Tiger Guard, and I was not interested in it before, but according to my opinion, it was obvious that something was wrong with me to be transferred to the escort of the Xunyang Palace with Miaozhen at the beginning.
"Ouyang Lianghan, you always suspected Li Congshan and opposed this personnel arrangement. It really makes sense. I still remember that the reinforcements arrived that day and discussed matters in the early morning. Leaving Li Congshan and the Three Hundred White Tiger Guards were able to protect the palace, which was better than Yi Qianqiu, Duan Quanwu and Madam Song supported it. It was even more obvious that this was the case."
Rong Zhen sneered, then, with a slight brow, and spoke to Ouyang Rong who was in deep thought:
"It's a pity that Yi Qianqiu is not here, and it's too late now, otherwise I'd like to ask her directly and save these thoughts."
"Um."
The cabin was shaking with the waves of the river, Ouyang Rong was like a pine tree, rooted in place, without any silence, and even thoughtful, and walked forward a few steps with his hands behind his back.
He suddenly turned back:
"Rong Zhen, your insider information is very timely. At least one thing can be ruled out now, that is, this group of White Tiger Guards can follow him all the way to Longcheng. It is probably not that there is a traitor around the prince, but that Li Congshan's strange ability. From this point of view, the situation is not too dangerous."
Rong Zhen shook her head with a face:
"It's better not to be small. This Li Congshan has always been pretending to be a little white rabbit before, and I almost got deceived by him. This kind of person is like a snake. Once the ape teeth are exposed, it is definitely a time when he thinks he has a great grasp.
"His special qi refining technique must have been firmly anchored to Li Xian, Xie Lingjiang and the others, so he was able to pursue him all the way, and there was another dangerous thing. I wonder if you have considered it."
Ouyang Rong pondered:
"I know. What you are talking about is that the prince and junior sister may not know that Li Congshan and his group are chasing behind and leading for half a day is not safe, especially when Li Congshan can lock in the target."
"That's right."
Rong Zhen was going to remind him a few more words, but when he saw Ouyang Rong's pursed expression, he stopped talking and said nothing more.
"It's fine if you think about it."
Rong Zhen spoke again:
"There is one more thing, I don't know if you have ignored it, I have forgotten to ask."
"What's the matter?"
"How do you plan to finish the end of Xunyang City? Now that the Buddha has been destroyed, the people here are exhausted, and you have asked Li Xian to return to Beijing like this - how are you going to explain to Luoyang? You won't really go to the embroidery lady and leave it alone.
"Or, just show the identity of the sword-holder to the saint in exchange for chips? But it doesn't look like your actions to escort us back to the city that day - how do you deal with this situation?"
Ouyang Rong suddenly said:
"What you want to ask the most is actually how to deal with our affairs. Rong Zhen, do you also want me to give you an explanation?"
Rong Zhen subconsciously moved his eyes away, but the next time she asked for that, she turned back to her eyes and nodded:
"Yes, the Buddha was destroyed, and the sword formation of [Emperor Wen] was gone. Almost all the people sent by the court were killed. I am the first responsible person. Even if the saint favored me, I would not be so tolerant."
She sniffed, still with the cold face, but she raised her chin slightly and asked him directly:
"But I am not afraid of being punished, not afraid of being punished, not even being punished, but Lianghan, you have to tell me what you think. If you want to continue to hide your identity and hide the Ding Sword, you can just say that I am and Yi Qianqiu cooperate with you,
We will take this blame, and one person does things and one person takes care of it. If we weren't for you, we would have died in the hands of the candle in the snow.
"But one thing, I must remind you that it is not a big deal for the Xunyang King family to run back to the capital like this. Even if they have nothing to do with the Xunyang incident, or even the victims of "attacked by the Tiannan Water Pirates", the saints are furious and they probably will not have good results.
"You have to be prepared. The blame for Xunyang City this time is too big. It is related to [Emperor Wen]. You may not know how much the saint attaches importance to this tripod sword. Wei Jisi and others must be in a hurry now, and they will probably blame King Xunyang and you.
"I also understand the saints. They are likely to be a little biased. Some sins are not completely put into this palace. This is not a self-satisfaction, but something that may happen. I cannot control it. Some sins cannot be recited by me as long as I want to."
Ouyang Rong was silent for a while, turned around and walked to open the door:
"I will give you an explanation, and now I will deal with the pursuit of the troops first."
The hatch door opens.
Rong Zhen tilted his head and looked at Ouyang Rong's calm face with some confusion.
Does he have a better way?
After a while, Rong Zhen still went out with confusion. Before leaving, he looked at Ouyang Rong deeply.
She whispered:
"I am waiting for you."
The cabin is quiet.
Ouyang Rongjia stood up for a moment and walked to the table alone.
I looked at the bronze scroll.
He took out the sword box and a string of eighteen seeds from the painting.
His eyes fell on the eighteen seeds.
This is the only tripod sword of [Emperor Wen]. In a sense, it is equivalent to the four Buddha statues and the Song of Destiny.
He Wen turned around and went to touch the old friend Mo's sword box.
Although the sword box can be placed in the Peach Blossom Land painting.
But if you wait for [Machinery] to restore your freedom, it is better to carry the sword box with you.
It is convenient to get out of the box and cloth sword.
Otherwise, there will be a layer of drawing paper in the middle, which will delay the time for laying the sword.
Ouyang Rong is actually worried about one thing now.
After the battle at Xunyang Grottoes, his strength was damaged.
When the war ended, we should have cultivated ourselves well, calmed down and digested many spoils, studied Taoyuan Sword Formation, Kuixing Funeral Confucianism, and brought our strength to a higher level.
However, for the safety of the Xunyang Palace, I could only run south and chase people without stopping.
Now there is no more familiar [Machinery Works]. The Taoyuan Sword Formation has not been arranged yet, and most of its strength has been lost directly.
The use of the two-mouth sword may not be enough to support the spiritual energy and purple mist, so it is better to use the slayer.
If it is the sermon...—
Ouyang Rong took out the bloody letter left by Cui Hao.
Browse under the oil lamp for a while.
After a while, he silently put away the blood letter.
The possible relics mentioned in Cui Hao’s message are too far from Jiangzhou and are difficult to find for the time being.
By the way, what rank Cui Hao is? According to Lao Yangtou, the fifth rank seems to be called Mr. Jixia, and Cui Hao is definitely not the fifth rank, otherwise it would be impossible for them to beat them up with the snow-crawler. The snow-crawler is a sword cultivator in the world.
After no results in thinking, Ouyang Rong remembered Tao Yuanming again.
But I can borrow an IOU from Xiao Mo Jing, but Tao Yuanming mentioned that he doesn't want to "resurrection" again. If he is forced to summon, he doesn't know whether to answer.
But there is nothing we can do. If we really can't find someone, it's extremely dangerous, so we can only try it.
After a while, Ouyang Rong took out a short knife from the scroll.
It's the little junior sister's skirt knife.
He rubbed for a few minutes.
The junior sister doesn’t know what she is doing at this moment.
Ouyang Rong was a little worried.
In fact, since he arrived in Longcheng, he has been trying to use a skirt knife to remind the junior sister.
Unfortunately, the skirt knife can only be transmitted in one direction and cannot get a response there.
However, Ouyang Rong rubbed the skirt knife to remind the junior sister of his position.
In this way, as long as you get close to it and it does not affect the prince's journey, the junior sister will definitely come to you.
If you are too far away, you can also let the junior sister know his location.
In fact, since that night, Ouyang Rong rode his horse away from Xunyang, he rubbed his skirt from time to time, implying his junior sister.
Remind the junior sister to your own position.
On the evening of the third day.
Ouyang Rong arrived at Shaoyang City, the main city of Raozhou, from Longcheng County to Shaoyang City. Everyone saw on the boat that there were almost all the deep mountains and forests in the middle, so they were obviously faster on the water route, but I don’t know if they could catch up with the one-day itinerary that the junior sister and the others led.
If you can't catch up, it wouldn't be bad if you can block the White Tiger Guards who are leading half a day. At least you can block the danger and buy time for the junior sister and the others.
Everyone came to Shaoyang City, and Ouyang Rong quickly went to the government office of this state, but did not find the Xunyang Palace and his group.
Ouyang Rong's tone was calm:
"In theory, I have been walking in the wilderness for a long time. If my junior sisters arrive at Shaoyang City, they will stay overnight.
Replenish food.
"So there are only two possibilities now. If you either haven't arrived yet, or I guessed wrong, they didn't stop and just passed the customs and left.
"Then prepare both hands."
Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen went to the government to discuss with Chief Rao.
Soon, the officers and soldiers were mobilized to go to the post station to block people, and investigate the clearance list at the same time, to be on the safe side.
At this moment, Qin Ying went out to inquire and return, but told Ouyang Rong that on the official road outside Raozhou, there were traces of a group of White Tiger Guards on the official road outside Raozhou, and they directly ignored Raozhou.
Ouyang Rong frowned immediately and estimated that he was at Raozhou that he arrived at almost the same time as them. However, Ouyang Rong and others came ashore at the ferry, while Li Congshan and others passed directly through the official road outside Raozhou.
"Where are they going?"
"This group of White Tiger Guards continued to go south and passed by the main city of Raozhou, and walked in a hurry."
Ouyang Rong suddenly fell into deep thought.
Are they successful or are they continuing to hunt down?
After a while, Ouyang Rong temporarily took Qin Ying back, turned around and went back to the house, took out a skirt knife, and rubbed it for a moment.
I reminded my junior sister of her own position.
Immediately, someone came outside to report, Ouyang Rong immediately went out, and a minor official reported that the group of people with the pseudonym Su Mansion had already passed the level and left one hour before Ouyang people and others arrived at Raozhou City. They did not stay in Raozhou City, but continued to go south, the same direction as the group of White Tiger Guards chased.
Ouyang Rong immediately spoke:
"The plan has changed. For some reason, the speed of both sides is faster than expected. Let's continue to go south by water. This time we take the water to grab time. The time difference is about an hour. Then, when you go ashore next time, you will definitely be blocked in front of them."
Rong Zhen brows slightly:
"What's going on? Why don't King Xunyang and others rest in Raozhou? If we rest, we can meet together."
Ouyang Rong suddenly said:
"Maybe it's a good thing. They may have noticed that there were pursuers, so they didn't stop and continued to rush."
"How did you notice it?"
"I don't know, but I believe that the youngest sister's keenness must be something urgent to make them go so fast and not stay."
Rong Zhen and Qin Ying looked at each other and both nodded.
"It makes sense."
So, the group did not waste time anymore. They waited for Qin Yanqing's large army, but left the soldiers who reported the news, continued to board the ship and headed south to rush.
On the morning of the third day, I arrived at Hanyang, a small county in the southernmost part of Raozhou by water.
Ouyang Rong immediately contacted the local government.
After finding out the situation, he felt relieved. This time, there was finally no record of the Su family's clearance. Qin Ying took people to check the surrounding official roads, and finally there was no trace of the White Tiger Guard passing by.
This shows that the two people are still behind and have not arrived in Hanyang County.
Rong Zhen calmly analyzes:
"Two choices, either we sit and wait, or we will walk the official road and go north to block them along the way."
Qin Ying hesitated:
"Qin Yanqing's large army has not arrived yet, and it will take several hours. To be safe, should you wait a while while you are there?"
Rong Zhen asked indifferently:
"Then what's the point of taking one step first? I have to wait for Madam Qin, please wait. I and Ouyang Lianghan will take the lead and make the arrangements."
Qin Ying raised her eyebrows and looked a little dissatisfied.
Both girls turned their heads tacitly and looked at Ouyang Rong who had been quiet, making him make a decision.
Chapter completed!
