Obviously, between life and death, most people don't use their brains.

It's muscle memory and inertia.

Even the pain is spontaneously shielded by the brain, and only the surging adrenal hormones.

There was only one thought left in my mind to kill the other person.

Ouyang Rong is so.

The same goes for Liu Qi.

But it's a pity.

Although Ouyang Rong was naughty since he was a child in his previous life, he was much better than ordinary people in fighting.

But the slightly weak body inherited in this life, in terms of physical fitness, is inferior to the five big and three thick Liu Qiyi.

Even if it is the strength that erupts between life and death, this is also the case.

Inside the earthen pit.

Liu Qi roared.

Ouyang Rong was silent.

Guy is so confined that it's hard to move around.

Those with white blades cannot be consumed at a distance, and are hand-to-hand by those with unarmed hands.

Slightly detrimental to the former.

The iron-like skirt knife in Ouyang Rong's hand and the advantage of cutting off the opponent's half palm first are slowly disappearing.

It was all supported by the ruthlessness that burst out of his body.

The balance of death began to maintain an equilibrium position at both ends.

Only ten breaths have passed.

But Ouyang Rong felt that he had been fighting for a long, long time.

Until...

Bang!

There was a solid, muffled sound.

Ouyang Rong stared at the wall with his legs, flew up with his strength, and slammed into Liu Qi's face with an elbow blow.

The latter's nosebleed surge, and the left hand that originally pressed Ouyang Rong's wrist with a knife slackened a little.

Ouyang Rong took the opportunity to pull his hand.

Holding the knife high in both hands, slashing diagonally towards Liu Qi!

Left and right are in the space of a narrow earthen wall, and this is the only position suitable for accumulating energy.

but accidentally exposed the façade.

In an instant, Liu Qi slapped his head.

Ouyang Rong leaned back against the wall.

Liu Qi pressed forward in an instant, and the two were close.

Liu Qi only had his left hand intact and grabbed Ouyang Rong's right wrist holding the knife and pressed it down.

The blade of the skirt knife in Ouyang Rong's hand was slowly handing it to his own neck.

What was originally a flexible grappling turned into a physical wrestling.

Obviously, Liu Qi has the upper hand.

Ouyang Rong's whole body tensed, his head tilted back, and he moved away from the origin of the blade.

The blade on his right hand, which could be pressed against his wrist, was still like a magnet, trembling close to his neck.

Liu Qi had two bloody knife marks on his face, and most of his face was red with blood.

Drops of blood fell from his nose and dripped on Ouyang Rong's face.

Liu Qi's expression was hideous, and he squeezed out the words that he hadn't finished not long ago:

"You are Ouyang Lianghan!"

Ouyang Rong raised his head, his eyes facing down, and looked down at Liu Qi.

Liu Qi was furious, and on the burly arms like the thighs of the brute bulls, the green tendons burst out, and he pressed down Ouyang Rong's wrist with all his might.

The snow-white blade of Xie Lingjiang's skirt knife gradually enlarged in front of Ouyang Rong's eyes.

His pupils constricted.

Didn't you say that the villain died from talking too much?

Ouyang only found out now, it doesn't seem to be absolute.

But this discovery is about to smell like a hellish joke.

The next moment.

Ouyang Rong, who was originally arrogant in his eyes, suddenly changed his eyes, and turned his head to look behind Liu Qi, his face showed surprise.

"Lie to me again?"

Liu Qi smiled angrily and didn't look back.

"Ahh He let out a low roar, and with all his last strength, he handed the snow-white blade into Ouyang Rong's throat.

That's when it happened.

"Poof".

The clatter of iron tools striking hard objects sounded in the pit.

The back of his head began to bleed, Liu Qi turned his head in a daze, his eyes turned against the noon sun above his head, and he saw a black thin figure standing above the dirt pit.

This thin figure grabbed the wooden-handled shovel that Liu Qi had just dug in both hands, and at this moment, seeing the latter staring at him with a hideous face, he took a step back timidly.

Liu Qi was dizzy for a while, ahhhh

Can be a second.

He suddenly felt that he was empty, and one of the wrists he had been holding in his hand slipped out.

Before the frightened Liu Qi could react, a blood line slowly appeared on his neck.

It's like a bulging water bladder that has been cut open by a knife.

Blood gushed like water.

Liu Qi knelt on the ground, covered his neck with his hands, made a "ho-ho" sound in his mouth, and looked at Ouyang Rong who stood up silently in front of him.

Ouyang Rong raised his foot, stepped on Liu Qi's head, and pushed forward, and the latter, whose eyes were glazed, fell heavily to the ground and fell into the grave he had dug himself.

Ouyang Rong's mouth was dry, he crawled out of the pit and sat on the ground.

I saw my hair trembling, looking at the corpse in the pit, the shovel in his hand fell to the ground with a "dangling", and the little monk covered the two big bags on the back of his head with both hands, and his teeth were in pain, and it seemed that he had been pretending to be dead for a long time.

"Awesome, well done."

Ouyang Rong gave a thumbs up, looked up at the sun, and praised in his mouth. It seems that this shiny little bald head is still quite useful, and now it looks at least more resistant to knocking, and the per capita iron head in the temple is right?

After the adrenal hormone secretion drops, the senses are restored, and tiredness sweeps in.

And his wet and sweaty head and neck were blown by the cold wind from the forest, and he suddenly felt agitated and sobered up a lot.

In addition, Ouyang Rong reacted to something that seemed to be insignificant.

Today, he killed two people, and he did not lose merit.

It seems that killing karma depends on the situation, not killing everyone will deduct merit, there may be a red name mechanism, and even some people who are deeply sinful, if he kills, maybe he can increase his merit......

Ouyang Rong gasped and was thinking crankily.

The hair and eyes were a little confused, just now he suddenly woke up for some reason, and when he woke up, he felt that he was being blown by a strange breeze, and then he got up and saw the pit next to him, the county master was fighting with the gangsters, so he helped.

"County master, this ...... This...... I ......"

"You come here to clean up, go to the host first, don't go in the Beitian Nursing Home first!" Without waiting for Xiufa to finish speaking, Ouyang Rong immediately stood up, dropped a sentence, and immediately staggered out of the bamboo forest.

Ouyang Rong rushed to the waiting booth, picked up the red cloth and white sandalwood scabbard, wiped the skirt knife, put the knife into the sheath, and wore it on his waist.

He didn't stop for a moment, rushed out of the bamboo forest, and rushed to the main hall where the little junior sister burned incense and asked for a lot.

The master of Shandao and the little sister were not there, so he grabbed an elderly monk and asked.

The latter looked at him with a strange look in his eyes.

"Two quarters of an hour ago, didn't that female bodhisattva go with you, the county master?"

Ouyang Rong's heart froze, and he said goodbye and turned around.

He hurried to the gate of Donglin Temple without stopping.

As far as the eye can see, in the waiting pavilion not far from the gate, Yan Liulang and the others have long since disappeared, and only some ordinary pilgrims remain.

And so it was.

Ouyang Rong took a deep breath, held the knife in his hand, and rushed down the mountain with his head down.

I didn't dare to stop for a moment, as if I was trying to catch up with something.

Ouyang Rong's face was serious.

Against the mountain wind blowing from all sides, he shivered, sobered up a lot, and some things in his mind and the conspiracy behind them were like thin threads and beads, which gradually became clear in his heart.

All this should be Liu Ziwen, they are making trouble!

The "fairy" shouted by the two Liu thugs just now should have disguised him through some kind of trick!

This also explains why they mistake the real him for some kind of "fairy".

It's just that the only thing that makes Ouyang Rong a little confused is.

According to the words and reactions of the two Liu thugs, there should be a powerful killer waiting for him in the Beitian Nursing Home, and listening to them, it seems to be some kind of Chang'an swordsman.

If it was true, then why was he able to finish inspecting the Beitian Nursing Home unharmed?

The little junior sister happened to be not by his side, and Ouyang Rong now felt that this was indeed the best time to make a move, and he didn't have much defense.

Ouyang Rong had to admire, the Liu family was indeed very good at finding the right time, and this was still before the ribbon-cutting ceremony, when his vigilance was relatively relaxed.

With this kind of off-the-plate trick, Liu Ziwen is ruthless enough, and his name can be regarded as feeding the dogs.

Ouyang Rong was speechless.

But now the result is that not long ago, he was safe and sound, and he didn't even notice anything strange when he walked out of the Beitian Nursing Home.

This was even unexpected by the two Liu thugs, otherwise there would not have been any subsequent events where he broke the conspiracy, killed the two soldiers, and went down the mountain to chase people.

Ouyang Rong was puzzled.

Was it that Chang'an swordsman who regretted not coming halfway, or was there some force majeure that stopped him.

He suddenly had an idea, and said in his heart:

"Is there a good fortune worth 3,000 merits that has never been redeemed before, could it be that this is really a good fortune used to save his life? Like right now? ”

Ouyang Rong shook his head to dispel distracting thoughts.

For the time being, I didn't dwell on this matter, and turned my attention to what was about to happen in front of me.

Liu Ziwen sent someone to intercept him, steal the beams and change the pillars, and let a guy named "Nuxian" disguise himself as him and lead people down the mountain.

What exactly do you want to do?

Simply trying to kill him?

What to do by smuggling oil to Di Gong Gate and preparing to blow up the gate, can't you kill him too?

Isn't that redundant?

Or is it that the oil used to wash the gate is actually just the tip of the iceberg of the conspiracy, which is a trick used to confuse him.

On the surface, the Liu family is standing on the first floor, and Ouyang Rong is standing on the second floor, but in fact, the Liu family is standing on the third floor?

Liu Ziwen actually knew that he already knew about the frying gate, and even knew that he was also prepared at the ribbon-cutting ceremony to challenge the Liu family.

So he planned to use the oil frying gate to expose the incident, so that he could relax his vigilance.

And the current Donglin Temple killing game is to get rid of him, and then let the guy called "Fairy" disguise himself as him, steal beams and change pillars down the mountain, and take the officials of Jiangzhou to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

After sorting out the clues, Ouyang Rong couldn't help but have another question in his heart.

The Liu family is going around in circles with such fanfare, does he just want to simply kill people?

Ouyang Rong shook his head suddenly.

No.

He didn't know about the rest of the Liu family, but Liu Ziwen's character, Ouyang Rong had some unique understanding.

From the first time Ouyang Rong saw the mediocre-looking Liu Ziwen in Yuanming Tower, he knew that he had met the same kind of person in a certain aspect.

Liu Ziwen, like him, will never be satisfied with simple killing once he makes a move.

What is the ability to kill?

Punishing the heart is the top-notch operation.

So how to punish the heart?

On the mountain road, Ouyang Rong, who tried to bring in Liu Ziwen's perspective, was quiet for a while.

The existing information and conclusions flowed in his mind, spliced together, and finally like a puzzle, he could faintly see a certain panorama.

He raised his eyes and sighed, and murmured:

"I don't know how many strategies Liu Ziwen has, but I can have three strategies......"

The first policy.

Let that "fairy" disguise herself as him, and at the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Di Gong Gate, blow up the gate in public and put a black pot on her back.

The second policy.

still let the "fairy" disguise himself as him to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, but this time, the Liu family will reveal the "Ouyang Lianghan" bombing conspiracy in public, and throw all the human and physical evidence on the face of "Ouyang Lianghan".

As for how the human and physical evidence came from, there is a "fairy" who can disguise himself as him, and it is not difficult to prepare human and physical evidence a few days in advance, using the fake "Ouyang Rong Lianghan", any dirty water can be splashed on him.

The third policy.

Ouyang Rong felt that it was the most simple and rude.

Didn't the officials of Jiangzhou just come, I remember that this was still a "small request" made by Liu Ziwen at the thank-you banquet.

As long as Ouyang Lianghan, who was disguised as a "fairy", assassinated Jiangzhou Shangguan in full view, or killed all of them, or killed one of the important court officials.

That Ouyang Rong, even if he is a local parent official, even if he is a well-known upright gentleman in the world, he will be finished, and this basin of dirty water is enough to bury his future.

All three of these strategies can stigmatize.

If the information revealed by those two Liu thugs not long ago is correct.

He who was beheaded in Donglin Temple will subsequently abscond in fear of crime after disguising himself as a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and commit suicide in fear of crime.

In the end, all three strategies can be used as a "dead man".

Moreover, once these three strategies are successfully implemented, after Ouyang Rong was splashed with dirty water and "committed suicide", all disaster relief and water conservancy projects during his lifetime could be overturned.

The Liu family's porridge shed and nursery can be reopened and business is prosperous; The big business of Di Gong Gate can also continue to be done, and make a fortune every year!

Ouyang Rong pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and shook his head again.

Of these three strategies, the first is the next one, and it is the least likely.

Because if Ouyang Rong had guessed correctly, the Di Gong Gate, which collapsed every four years, should be the core interest of the Liu family.

There is a better plan, there is no need to build a costly Di Gong Gate for the sake of Ouyang Lianghan, who has been beheaded in advance.

As for the second and third strategies.

Ouyang Rong felt that it was above the first strategy, but the effect was equally high.

The only difference is that the former is more literate, and the latter is more martial.

And both do not need to blow up the gate, which can save costs.

Wouldn't it be beautiful to leave Di Gongzha for the future when the time comes?

As for whether it is one of these three strategies, which one will Liu Ziwen choose......

If you believe that the name is not wrong, it is the one of the text, which is the second policy.

But is Liu Ziwen really literate?

Ouyang Rong pursed his lips.

He rushed all the way down the mountain, and on the way, he only stopped for a moment by a mountain spring, and drank a large sip of cold mountain spring water with chapped lips......

Finally, Ouyang Rong ran to the foot of the mountain out of breath.

But at the foot of the mountain, on the left and right, all the carriages that had been parked had disappeared.

He still couldn't catch the tail after all.

In other words, his original luck was also shattered - the fake "Ouyang Lianghan" did not linger at all, and went straight down the mountain with his little junior sister and Yan Liulang to pick up the officials in Jiangzhou.

Ouyang Rong frowned, he only had a pair of legs now, could it be that he could catch up on foot?

However, according to today's schedule, after the fake "Ouyang Rong" and his party went to pick up the officials in Jiangzhou, they would go straight to the ferry port of Butterfly Creek, take a fast boat to the Yuenuxia camp to catch the wind and wash the dust, and then immediately hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

"How can this catch up!"

Not to mention whether he could get the horses right now, even if he hurried to catch up, it was already at least two quarters of an hour slower.

Even if Ouyang Rong hurried to the ferry port on the county side, they had already boarded the boat and set off.

Even if he hired a boat to chase after him, on the waterways, most ships of this era were almost equal in speed, and he still couldn't match it.

Ouyang Rong is still two quarters of an hour to half an hour behind!

When he arrived at the Di Gong Gate slowly, it is estimated that the ribbon-cutting ceremony is almost over, one step slow, one step slow!

What to do?

Ouyang Rong took a deep breath, his face tried to remain calm, and he stared around.

The county seat of Longcheng is located in the west of Dagu Mountain, and the south of Dagu Mountain is the direction of Yunmengze, that is, the direction of Yuenu Gorge, and as for the north, it is the Dajiang River.

Ouyang Rong looked at the direction of the western county where the fake "Ouyang Lianghan" and his party might be picking up people and taking a boat.

He turned his head south and looked south in the direction of the Di Gong Gate.

They must have gone to the Yuenu Gorge to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Di Gong Gate in the end, how should they chase ......

At this moment, a picture suddenly flashed in Ouyang Rong's mind, which was the winding and complex waterway of Butterfly Creek that he had just stopped to see when he was thirsty for spring water in the middle of the mountainside.

In the next second, Ouyang Rong limped, and his body flew out like an arrow from the string.

It's just weird.

He didn't run west, trying to catch up with the fake "Ouyang Lianghan" and his party.

It's not that they run directly to the south, and they go straight to the Yuenu Gorge.

Ouyang Rong ran desperately north.

There is the direction of the river.

But there are ...... The starting point of a new canal.

Pine Forest Crossing.
