In a certain high pavilion, there were three people chatting secretly.

"Ouyang Lianghan? It seems to be a little familiar, isn't it a righteous gentleman respected by Shilin? ”

After listening quietly to Boss Li's narration and review, he took out a densely written letter and flipped through it, Wei Shaoxuan suddenly raised his head and asked.

"This son is a little interesting, playing with the Liu family and the indigenous squires of Longcheng in the palm of his hand, and he has a lot of appetite for this son...... So, Liu Ziwen died in his hands? ”

"Well...... this"

Boss Li hesitated and said something from his heart:

"Sixth son, Liu Ziwen's death, the villain feels a little complicated, and there may be a hidden story behind it."

"It wasn't Ouyang Lianghan who did it, who did it?"

Wei Shaoxuan paused, and asked with a smile: "Is it Wang Lengran, or Shen Xisheng?" Wait...... Liu Zi'an? ”

"My descendants have passed by Jiangzhou a few times before, and they have also gone to inquire, it doesn't look like Lord Wang did it." Boss Li shook his head: "Shen Xisheng or Liu Zi'an, I don't know." ”

"Previously, the Liu family has been the host of Liu Ziwen, and contacted us, Liu Ziwen this person, his father sent someone to investigate, he is very familiar with current affairs, and his needs and desires are also very clear...... It's not a good change. ”

Wei Shaoxuan glanced at Boss Li and said in a deep voice:

"How is Liu Zi'an?"

Boss Li was silent for a moment, "The character is very cautious and patient, just look at him and Ouyang Lianghan and Zhou Xuan...... For Weis, it seems to be quite honest at present. ”

"Being honest now doesn't mean being honest in the future, go check it out, and check it with the death of his eldest brother Liu Ziwen."

Wei Shaoxuan interrupted Boss Li's words and waved his hand casually:

"You can use the chess piece buried in the Liu family to check if you have killed your brother with your brother, and before you take the Ding Sword, you have to make sure that all hidden dangers are eliminated......

"I don't know why, this son always has an intuition, Liu Ziwen's death has a lot to do with Liu Zi'an, I hope it's wrong, tsk, there will be this inexplicable intuition when it comes to it, and I don't know if it's because my son understands Liu Zi'an's taste as a younger brother, after all, my son also has a few harmonious brothers."

Wei Shaoxuan chuckled.

"Yes! Six Sons. Boss Li was in awe and arched his hand.

For the next few words of this Wei Liugongzi, he pretended not to hear it.

In fact, in the Wei family, some complicated situations between the sons and daughters of the two houses of the King of Wei and the King of Liang were also slightly heard of by the Persian merchants, but this was not something he was qualified to discuss, and it was better to be deaf.

Qiu Qi, who was looking coldly in front of the window, turned his face and glanced at Wei Shaoxuan.

"Father-in-law, anyway, this time I took the car and boat of the palace envoy and came to Dragon City in a few days." Wei Shaoxuan turned his head and explained with a smile: "I just have time, I'll check it carefully to see if there are any interesting things hidden." ”

Qiu Qi hugged his chest and nodded:

"Rokuro can be measured."

There was some faint movement on the street downstairs outside the window, Wei Shaoxuan walked to the window and took a look, and the originally interested look on his face was put away.

"It's boring, Sister Miaozhen is still not very good, she was bluffed by a weak scholar, and now the good show is gone...... However, His Majesty actually sent away a piece of jade, which seems to be a bit exquisite......"

Standing by the window, Wei Shaoxuan thought about it carefully, and then looked at the movement outside the door of the Su Mansion for a while, and he shook his head as if he was bored.

Then, the sixth son of the Wei family seemed to turn his head and say something to Qiu Qi.

The man with the back box took off the sword box on his back and handed it to Wei Shaoxuan.

The latter caught it with one hand, placed it horizontally in front of him, put his two fingers together, and carefully stroked the warm body of the box, even if he looked at the sword box more than once, he still showed some admiration and admiration on his face.

This box seems to have a mechanism inside, which is very exquisite.

Wei Shaoxuan's complicated technique, "click", like an iron chain slowly lowering the gate of a certain city gate in the world, the sword box opened in response.

The sword light rushed out of the box like a bullfight.

Immediately attracted the attention of the three people in the pavilion.

It is rumored that the Mojia sword box is one of the top sword cultivation items in the world's sword cultivation heart, the material of the box body is natural to gather qi, and it is used with ingenious tricks to achieve the wonderful effects of warming the sword qi, washing the sword body, and introverting the sword light.

Even if it is a mortal sword Qingfeng, if you put it in it to warm up, it can become very different, not like an ordinary soldier.

At this moment, I saw a sword stuck obliquely in the box.

When Wei Shaoxuan took out this sword, flipped it and put it under the setting sun in front of the window, it was clear that it was a short sword similar to a dagger.

Short sword luxury.

The hilt of the sword is inlaid with jade agate, pearl gemstones, and a delicate sword spike intertwined with colored ribbons.

The blade of the sword lying in the sunlight reflected the cold light of Sen Sen into the room, and the cold light flashed everywhere in the room as the sword wielder flipped and moved.

Boss Li looked at it curiously, revealing an expression that suddenly reacted.

This sword is the last letter sword that Liu Ziwen asked him to send to the Luojing Wei Palace.

Right now, Qiu Qi and Wei Shaoxuan, a few of them, went to get the sword alone, so naturally they carried it with the Mo family's sword box according to the agreement.

Wei Shaoxuan leaned on the railing next to the window, and the short fiber letter sword in his hand, he raised his hand to lose:

"Go and inform Liu Zi'an, this son is here, take it, and return Liu Zi'an by the way, this short sword is good, killing people without blood, I hope the Ding sword he handed over at the end can also make this son so satisfied......"

Wei Shaoxuan's chuckling words sounded, and his eyes casually turned to the window, but he stopped abruptly halfway through speaking.

Boss Li, who bowed his head and was about to be ordered, raised his hand to make a sword receiving motion, and waited for a long time, but he didn't see Wei Shaoxuan's letter sword handed over.

"Sixth son? Six sons? He couldn't help but shout twice in succession.

Still no one is paying attention.

Wei Shaoxuan's mouth seemed to be blocked.

Shaoqing, Boss Li looked up cautiously and found that Mr. Qiu also turned his head to look at Wei Shaoxuan like him.

I saw that the sixth son of the Wei family, who was originally leaning on the railing, by the window, changed to a standing posture with his hands down, his head sticking out of the window, and looking intently at the street in front of the Su Mansion below.

The body did not move at all, as if he was distracted.

Boss Li and Qiu Qi followed his gaze.

It was a plain-faced little girl, with plum blossom-shaped bright red forehead makeup on her eyebrows, sitting obediently on the embroidery stool, holding a purple veil that had just been taken off......

Leaving home, there is a girl who has just grown up.

The air fell silent.

Wei Shaoxuan suddenly turned his head and said seriously towards Qiu Qi:

"Why don't we change the gift a little bit, after all...... They are all relatives, stepfathers, and I still feel obligated to go with the birthday ceremony. ”

Qiu Qi: ?

Boss Li: ......

After a short time, the painting in front of the Su Mansion ended.

In the high pavilion, Wei Shaoxuan lowered his head, walked around the same place more than a dozen times, stopped at a certain moment, and muttered to himself: "There is such a stunning girl in the world?" The most important thing is that he still resembles Her Majesty the Empress, or even surpasses it......"

Wei Shaoxuan glanced at the letter sword in his hand, was serious, straightened his clothes, and turned to go downstairs.

On behalf of Wei's, come to the door to give gifts.

……

Under the sunset.

Fishing songs are sung late.

The Penglang ferry, which was bustling during the day, was deserted, like a red-hot charcoal that had been extinguished by water.

There are ferries returning from the docks, as well as passenger boats that are passing by and temporarily docking.

However, the ferry port, which used to be crowded and moored, is now in the center of the wharf, and a large area is vacated.

There was also a large crowd on the shore by the pier.

Several fishing boats full of fish returning late slowly docked at this strange vacant "golden position" of the dock, and the fishermen on board who had worked hard all day were happy.

Several of the boatmen who had just returned couldn't help but turn their heads curiously to look at the huge sails of the ships slowly moving away on the river.

I saw that the magnificent strange official ship broke through the sparkling golden waves of the sunset, and turned its back from Longcheng County without looking back, with the red sun in the background.

Ouyang Rong, like the fishermen, watched the back of the fleet carrying Miaozhen and other Luoyang court envoys drifting away, and stood at the front of the crowd of people on the shore of the pier.

"Huh."

A sigh suddenly sounded in the front row of the crowd, which made the atmosphere among the people in the county government condense.

Ouyang Rong stood quietly with his sleeves in his cage, his face was calm, and he didn't turn his head to look at Diao Xiancheng who sighed.

Yan Liulang, who hurried from the official house in the afternoon, turned his head and frowned:

"Why does the county lord always sigh, is he not satisfied with the Ming Mansion? Just put it bluntly. ”

"Where will the lower officials be dissatisfied with the Ming Mansion, mainly today...... Huh. ”

Diao Xiancheng frowned, and couldn't help but say: "Why didn't the Ming Mansion keep the female envoy, the lower officials had a dinner ready, and the Ming Mansion let them stay for a meal, and then rest in Longcheng for a few days, it is also excellent to visit the mountains and rivers......"

Ouyang Rong stared at the pitch-black dots on the river surface in the distance that were gradually getting smaller, and did not speak.

In the afternoon, at the gate of the Su Mansion, after the highly skilled old court painter finished drawing Su Bao'er's portrait without makeup, Miaozhen left without saying a word to the painter and the palace maids.

Get on the boat and leave without lingering.

I don't know if it's because of Ouyang Rong's involvement, Miao Zhen's face is not very good-looking.

In the end, only after boarding the bow deck, he turned slightly, his eyes drooped, he stared at Ouyang Rong on the dock below, and dropped a sentence: "Ouyang County Order, there will be a period later." ”

A good "will be later".

At that time, Ouyang Rong just stood in place, bent his waist slightly, bowed his hand, and did not reply.

Then he watched quietly as the ship left the dock.

At this moment, Yan Liulang looked sideways and said:

"Lord Diao hasn't seen it yet, this six-grade female official is official and unsympathetic. It's useless to eat and give gifts, don't fix these bells and whistles, it will make people look down on the Ming Mansion and us. ”

"It's better to look down on us than to offend, it's a big deal to treat us as a fart, they all say that the prime minister's door is a seven-grade official, not to mention that this is still a six-grade female official in front of His Majesty, I don't know how many grades have to be added, how should I be good now."

Diao Xiancheng's face was full of worry, and he hung his head and muttered dejectedly:

"For the deposed Xunyang Wang family, I offended the Luoyang envoys, and I don't know what they will say about us in front of the saints......"

As if to completely confirm that the official ship entered the river and left and never returned, Ouyang Rong, who was squinting, nodded slightly, turned his face, and looked at the dead wood-like wrinkles on Diao Xiancheng's dark face, full of the vicissitudes of the past trapped in the bureaucratic grassroots and wasted years.

"Lord Diao."

Ouyang Rong said suddenly.

"The lower official is here."

Ouyang Rong sighed slightly:

"After so many years, it is not completely unreasonable that Master Diao is still here as a county minister."

Diao Xiancheng: ......

Okay, you're tall, you're amazing.

didn't understand Ouyang Rong's meaning, Diao County's molars were almost crushed, and he wanted to cry without tears to look at the young county order who was born in Jinshi and started from the decentralized place to start with Qipin.

He couldn't help but choke up a little, and for a while he was saddened...... Hey, don't do these eight officials!

Ouyang Rong gently patted the thin shoulder of the old county man, took the lead and left, and dropped a sentence:

"Let's go, it's okay, go back to your own house, tomorrow will be on duty as usual, as for the Su Mansion on Luming Street...... Assume you didn't see it, it's just a common person, and you don't need special treatment. ”

The county officials gathered around the dock looked at each other, reluctantly obeyed the order, and Yuguan left.

Yan Liulang quickly caught up with Ouyang Rong's footsteps, followed him, slowed down step by step, hugged the waist knife, and sighed:

"I really didn't expect that Da Lang's family turned out to be the family of the former Xunyang King who was demoted to the common people, so doesn't that mean that Da Lang's family has the blood of Emperor Taizongwen?

"Obediently, my sixth son actually prostituted and drank wine with the great-grandson of Emperor Taizongwen! This encounter is enough to brag about with my grandson. ”

Yan Liulang raised his head and looked at the moon, thought about it carefully, and pondered:

"Ming Mansion, anyway, now I still call him Da Lang, isn't it a bit too much?"

Ouyang Rong, who was walking in front, nodded: "Six." ”

Just one word was passed back behind him.

"Huh? I'm here. ”

Yan Liulang was stunned for a moment, and stepped forward to report:

"What did the Ming Mansion tell me to do, what did you command?"

The corners of Ouyang Rong's mouth twitched slightly.

Not long after, Yan Liulang, who was muttering around Ouyang Rong, was driven back to the minister's house, and last time it seemed that the mark on the mirage masquerade was erased by the strange purple mist in Ouyang Rong's merit tower, and the jade fairy spit out a mouthful of old blood seemed to be a little serious, and she was still in a coma, and her breath was like a gossamer.

On the night road back to Merlot Park alone, Ouyang Rong stopped from time to time and glanced at the brightly lit direction of Sufu in the distance.

What happened today was indeed very unexpected to him.

The exposure of the identities of Su Dalang and Su Xiaomei's family made Ouyang Rong, who was dark under the lights, a little confused.

He began to understand the subtle anomalies shown by the little junior sister, the mentor Xie Xun and the Su family before.

Ouyang Rong was very suspicious that the little junior sister followed her teacher Xie Xun to Longcheng County to worship the Buddha, and finally stayed to assist him, in fact, it was mainly to protect the Su family.

Thinking about this, he was a little silent.

But there is no meaning to blame the little junior sister, after all, she just arrived at that time, and the senior brother and sister are not very familiar with each other.

As for why he didn't talk about it for a long time after getting acquainted...... Ouyang Rong thought about it now, and found that in fact, the little junior sister had always hinted at it, but he ignored it.

As soon as Ouyang Rong arrived at the gate of Merlot Garden, he met two familiar figures guarding the door.

It's idle and Su Dalang.

"Lianghan!" , "Lianghan Xian's nephew......"

Seeing him, the father and son were immediately overjoyed, and sincerely pulled Ouyang Rong to Su Mansion for dinner, as usual, and Weber's mother cooked by herself today.

But Ouyang Rong silently withdrew his arm, his face was calm, and he shook his head.

When he left the leisure and Su Dalang, his expression was sneering.

Ouyang Rong said goodbye politely and walked into Merlot Garden.

Looking at the backs of Ouyang Rong and the afternoon when they stepped forward to help, the father and son who left home were puzzled and sighed......

Turning his head to look at the closed door, Ouyang Rong shook his head lightly and muttered something.

After a short time, he returned to the small courtyard of Merlin, and pushed the door in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Suddenly, Ouyang Rong paused, and his body stopped in place.

There was movement in the study.

Ye Weilai is not there.

He frowned slightly, turned his eyes, and saw a faint figure of a peach-colored beauty in the study.

She was tiptoeing through a book in front of Ouyang Rong's bookshelf.

It is the little sister of the Su family, Su Bao'er.

No, it's time to get her out of the wrapper, or......

Her Royal Highness the Princess?

Arrived home safely, tired Xiaorong......
