Chapter 158: Worried
Ouyang Shu didn't think about it, and said in a deep voice: Hugh wants to talk nonsense, talking when swimming, although it is a short sentence, Ouyang Shu's body was washed away a few feet downstream again. He said no more, and continued to swim forward with difficulty.
Zhao Jing regretted it for a while. She had forgotten that she couldn't talk while swimming. Now, her words are equivalent to making this journey a little more thrilling.
There were already two guards on the shore who didn't know where the robes had gone, and it seemed that they were looking for someone who knew how to water. And the remaining two kept shouting on the shore, cheering for Ouyang Shu. It's just that their shouts sounded more like hypnosis to Ouyang Shu at this time. Ouyang Shu felt so tired!
Okay, a few steps closer, it's almost to the shore, it's almost there! Ouyang Shu kept cheering himself up in his heart, but the movements in his hands were still so stiff. In fact, by this time, he had reached the brink of physical exhaustion, not to mention that it was already very close to the shore, but this short distance was already impossible for him to swim up on his own strength.
Suddenly, the voices of the two guards changed from anxious cries to cheers. Ouyang Shu immediately realized that when he came, the rescuers from the other guards had arrived. At this time, he didn't care about the need to save his strength, so he mustered up the last bit of strength and swam a few steps forward.
Sure enough, two other guards and a sturdy man hurried towards him. The three of them were greatly relieved to see that Ouyang Shu, especially Zhao Jing on Ouyang Shu's back, was still safe and sound. If Zhao Jing drowned because of their incompetence, they would never be able to escape.
The sturdy man didn't say much, and immediately jumped into the water and swam towards Ouyang Shu. Don't look at him ugly, but his swimming style is very elegant, it seems that he must be a master swimmer.
After just two or three breaths, the man lured Ouyang Shu and Zhao Jing in front of him, and immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhao Jing over. But Ouyang Shu's body was light, and he could have breathed a sigh of relief as if he had come out of the cage, but when Zhao Jing's body left Ouyang Shu's back, he accidentally clicked on Ouyang Shu.
Ouyang Shu had already lost his strength, and such a light blow was enough to push him into the abyss, but he felt that his eyes began to turn black, and his body involuntarily fell towards the abyss.
Immediately, he heard only a woman's mournful exclamation, and he knew nothing.
Chapter 39 of the text is on the eve of leaving
Originally, he came to question, but it turned into being educated, Ouyang Shu is indeed a failure today. Moreover, he has already heard the hidden message in Xu Jiang's words: If you are disobedient and don't go to the Tao, we will spread today's events!
It must be said that although this trick is an imitation of Zhao Mingcheng's original practice, it is very effective. At the beginning, Zhao Mingcheng's actions were at most likely to have an impact on Ouyang Shu's future, but now it is a matter of life. Ouyang Shu could ignore it lightly at the beginning, but now he can only admit it and be driven away.
Of course, Ouyang Shu is afraid of death, this is undeniable. He didn't have any big ambitions, he never thought of being a big hero or hero, let alone a golden iron horse to dominate the world. He just wants to live comfortably with the person he likes.
However, what Ouyang Shu was more afraid of was affecting the people around him. Including family members and women who love each other. There is nothing that can't be done by a person who does this kind of thing, he will not have the slightest soft-hearted heart because of your love for men and women, happiness and fulfillment, and he will send others away when it is time for you to make a difference. They can be cruel to anyone because they have already been cruel to themselves first.
Of course, in this matter, Ouyang Shu was certainly coerced, but after all, this is also his family affair and his responsibility. Therefore, although Ouyang Shu is not very willing until now, in the case of coercion and a sense of responsibility, he has no choice but to put on this robe stupidly.
Xu Jiang looked at Ouyang Shu's aggrieved expression, and laughed and said: "Brother Shi, don't worry, I have been in business for a hundred years for my ancestors, and the strength of my Qianlong Pavilion is not as weak as my brother can see with the naked eye, even if he pulls up the anti-flag and fights hard, it is not completely hopeless. Besides, a hundred years of tempering have forged our unparalleled patience and calmness. We are never arrogant or impatient, we will not be discouraged by momentary failures, nor will we get carried away because of momentary successes. As long as you do your part well and move forward steadily, there will be no problem.
For example, the old man is now fighting for the position of the right minister of the Great Song Dynasty. Even if he can't get this position, the old man will work hard to be an errand in the position of the secretary of the ministry, work hard, and do my job well. You see, why not do it?
Ouyang Shu was moved by what he said. This kind of rebellion is good, if you have the opportunity to take the position, you will take the position, if you don't have the opportunity, you will be a civil servant of the Great Song Dynasty and enjoy your glory and wealth. In short, everything is based on not revealing your identity, and if you don't do this kind of thing, then you are stupid.
Seeing that Ouyang Shu was finally moved. The smile on Xu Jiang's face became more sincere. He twisted his beard and said: Brother Shi is going to leave Beijing in the next two days, right? The old man has nothing else to give, so he will send a martingale as a means of transportation, Brother Shi must not refuse!
Ouyang Shu said secretly, I was about to look for a carriage, and I didn't know where to look for it in a hurry. If I refuse, wouldn't that be a stupid hat? He hurriedly laughed and said, "That's it, but it's disrespectful!"
General Xu didn't talk nonsense anymore, immediately ordered someone to prepare the carriage, and personally sent Ouyang Shu to the door of Xu's mansion before watching him drive away.
Most of the subordinates of the Xu Mansion were not from the Qianlong Pavilion, they were just ordinary subordinates. They have rarely seen the old man get up to give people away, and they have hardly seen him send people to the door and refuse to go back, everyone is impressed by this Tanhualang who is gradually moving away.
But it was already afternoon when Ouyang Shu returned to an inn, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw two women sitting there with worried faces, and couldn't help but apologize, and when he was about to say something sorry, he heard Fan Xiaolu speak first: Don't say sorry to us, you must not have eaten, let's go downstairs to eat together!
Ouyang Shu was stunned: How do you know that I haven't eaten, it's all at this time.
Hu Qing'er said faintly: If you can leave us here to wait for you, but you eat and drink calmly outside, is that still the Li Dalang we like?
Ouyang Shu thought about it, this morning obviously said that he would enter the palace to thank him, and it stands to reason that he would be able to come back soon. After a long time, the second daughter will inevitably be worried, knowing that Fan Hu's second daughter will be worried, even if she has delicacies from the mountains and seas outside, she will not be able to eat it.
The three of them went downstairs and sat down by the window.
Actually, Ouyang Shu didn't like the food in an inn. But considering that it is indeed a little late today, it is not appropriate to go out, and the shopkeeper Yi actually takes good care of Ouyang Shu, no matter what, he should always take care of his business. Therefore, this time Ouyang Shu didn't think about it, so he chose to eat downstairs.
After ordering some food and eating, Ouyang Shu remembered that the news that he was leaving had not yet been told to the shopkeeper Yi, so he asked the second daughter to go upstairs first, came to the shopkeeper Yi, told him the news, and said: Shopkeeper Yi, I don't want to say anything else, since June, I am the county order of Kaifeng, as long as you do business well, don't do evil, if you have something, open your mouth. There is also a word I promised you last time, so go get a pen and paper, and I will write it for you!
