Lifu Su suddenly found a hand stretched out in front of him, holding a piece of watermelon in his hand.

He was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and took it: "Thank you...... Thank you Lianghan. ”

"What are you thanking for the melons you brought?"

Ouyang Rong felt funny, shook his head, and then buried his head in eating melons.

Li Fusu also smiled, and suddenly he was not so nervous.

Subsequently, the two friends faced each other, squatted on the ground, and nibbled on melons together, showing a tacit understanding.

"Is it called leaving Fusu......

Ouyang Rong muttered, without raising his head, and asked, "So, Emperor Gaozong is your own grandfather?" ”

"That's right." Lifusu nodded.

"What does it feel like to be the emperor's grandson?" He asked.

"Huh?" Lifusu was stunned.

Ouyang Rong thought about it, searched for his memory, opened his mouth and took a big bite of melon meat, chewed, grinned and asked:

"If I remember correctly, Emperor Gaozong was critically ill, Empress Wei interfered in politics, the original prince was deposed, your father was canonized as the new prince, and you also became the eldest grandson.

"In order to stabilize the country, Gaozong appointed you as the emperor's grandson, opened the palace early, and confirmed the order of succession.

"Well, the rightful third-generation prince, the only heir of the Great Cadre Law System, should be right?"

"It's true, but it's ......"

Li Fusu put down the melon scoop with both hands, wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and said with a bitter face:

"But when my grandfather ordained me, I had just turned one year old, and I didn't become a few years later, my father lost the throne, my grandmother changed to Zhou, a new country and a new dynasty, and I was also deposed and demoted to a concubine.

"The ass is not hot, how do you know the taste of the imperial grandson, hey, Lianghan, don't tease me."

The bearded melon-nibbling youth sighed and shook his head.

Ouyang Rong smiled.

"Tianhuang is noble, at least I have won Ma once at the starting line, and it is not a loss to experience it."

"Ugh."

Li Dalang didn't understand his friend's weird jokes too much, but he was also an honest character, and he didn't pursue it, and continued to nibble on the watermelon in his hand with his head down.

At some point, he suddenly whispered:

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's a good day like this now, if it hadn't been hunted down by the Wei family last time."

When Ouyang Rong heard this, he silently ate the melon and didn't answer.

"On the fifteenth day of the last time, in Dagu Mountain, fortunately there were Lianghan and Miss Xie, our family escaped, and then on the way back to Luming Street, Ah Mei suddenly spoke, saying that we may not be able to continue to be civilians.

"I can't go back to the leisurely days of incognito before, our family has been watched by the people in Luoyang, and we are destined to be involved in a dispute in the future......"

Li Fusu raised his head, looked at Ouyang Rong, and couldn't help but confirm again:

"Lianghan, you say, is this true? Is there really no way for our family to go back? ”

Ouyang Rong didn't raise his head and said:

"What I said last time in Yilanxuan's study, didn't you hear it?"

Li Fusu was stunned for a moment, and then his expression was a little embarrassed, "Lianghan, we ...... at that time"

"It's okay, the little junior sister has already told me.

"And I guessed a little earlier, during that time, your father and sister had nothing to do."

Ouyang Rong dropped the clean melon scoop, picked up the sweat towel, wiped his hands, and asked casually:

"What, Da Lang, don't believe my speculation?"

"Nope."

Li Fusu shook his head vigorously and said softly:

"I just feel that even if Lianghan's judgment came true, my grandmother really took our family back to Luoyang, and the process was safe and smooth, and even after returning to Beijing, I once again canonized my father as the emperor's heir.

"But this monstrous wealth, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch it, how can there be a pie in the sky in this world.

"It's better to live in seclusion in Dragon City, live a dull life together as a family."

Ouyang Rong bowed his head: "Okay, in the second half of his life, Da Lang will continue to study and serve the teacher in Juxian Garden every day." ”

"Cough Lianghan, what are these words, you also said before, reading requires a combination of work and rest, and occasionally go to Yunshui Pavilion to cultivate one's self-cultivation, why can't it?"

Ouyang Rong pouted and interrupted:

"I haven't returned to Beijing yet, I started to be sentimental, others are thinking of danger in times of peace, you are good, just live in a corner, and what kind of nostalgia for ordinary days, you can live a good life first."

The young county commander lowered his head and patted his sleeve, and said in a cold voice:

"The origin of the noble man is already better than most people in this world, does Da Lang just want to enjoy its benefits and shrink its risks and responsibilities?

"Then what I just told you, the truth of identity and responsibility, isn't it in vain?

"Don't take it as an example, if Da Lang is still so cranky, hesitating, don't come to me in the future, let's be friends here."

"Liang Han is angry." Li Fusu hurriedly waved his hand, grabbed his friend's sleeve, and tried to redeem it: "My mistake, I don't dare anymore!" ”

Ouyang Rong glanced at him.

Lifu Su smiled, and after a while, he let out a light "huh", and faintly reacted to something:

"What does Liang Han mean...... In fact, you are willing to help my family? ”

Ouyang Rong didn't answer, packed up the food box, and stood up.

"When you're full, let's go, I'll take you somewhere."

He stood upright, holding the knife in one hand and the food box in the other, and walked towards the bottom of the high platform, without dragging his feet.

Lifusu hurried to follow.

In the shade of the tree under the high platform, the two converged Xie Lingjiang and Yan Liulang.

The four of them looked at each other without saying a word and left together.

"Where is Lianghan going?"

Ouyang Rong walked at the front and did not speak.

Xie Lingjiang also followed suit.

Lifusu and Yan Liulang glanced at each other and followed honestly.

Ouyang Rong took them all the way through the Guyue Sword Shop, walked to the foot of Xiaogu Mountain, and climbed the steps.

Leaving Fusu, he found that Ouyang Rong's destination seemed to be the top of the mountain.

Everyone went up the mountain all the way, silently passing by the ruins of the barren and grassy Jiazi Sword Furnace House, and also passed through the ancestral house of the Liu family, which had been wiped out.

Finally, come to the top of Xiaogu Mountain.

In the field of vision from Fusu, a brand-new shrine appeared.

At present, during the day, craftsmen and laborers are moving things in and out, and it seems that it has not yet been completely completed.

Xie Lingjiang and Yan Liulang, who were beside them, saw it, their faces were calm, and they didn't seem surprised.

Li Fusu's face showed curiosity, he remembered that this place used to be a dragon king temple, a superstitious place of sacrifice for the people of Dragon City.

"This is the ancestral shrine that the people set up for Lianghan?" He was curious to guess.

Ouyang Rong didn't answer.

Soon, Lifusu realized that he had guessed wrong.

This ancestral hall does not sacrifice ghosts and gods, nor does it sacrifice to any Qing officials.

It is used to pay tribute to all the heroes of Dragon City who sacrificed for the water control and elimination of harm in Dragon City.

At the entrance of the ancestral hall, there were two couplet banners that seemed to be in Lianghan's handwriting, and Fu Su turned his head to stare at it, and he silently recited it for a while, but finally he didn't read it.

On the wall in the center of the lobby, he saw the name of the Ahsan brother.

The footsteps of the crowd echoed in the empty hall of the ancestral hall.

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Lifu Su followed the back of the young county commander in front of him and inspected a circle of ancestral halls together, and he remained silent the whole time.

The ancestral hall has not yet been fully built, and there are craftsmen and men working bare-chested, sweating profusely.

Seeing Fusu, Lianghan, who had not spoken all the way in front of him, stopped, put down the food box, and he distributed the undrunk chilled rice wine and half a scoop of watermelon to the craftsmen.

Not long after, Ouyang Rong and Lida Lang and their entourage left the ancestral hall on the top of the mountain.

On the way down the mountain.

Li Dalang said: "I heard that the imperial court has always strictly forbidden civil worship, it doesn't matter if Lianghan is here, there should have been a report?" ”

Ouyang Rong said casually:

"For the first time, I reported it to Jiangzhou, and I explained it, it is not a ghost and god obscenity, but a commemoration of the people who control the water, and the Assassin Mansion directly issued a document against it.

"The king said that this matter violated the regulations of the court and the prime minister, and I relied on my achievements in water control to be arrogant and rewarded, and he resolutely protested, and said that if you dare to build it privately, you will go to me in the book."

"How can it be so serious, then what can Lianghan do?"

Ouyang Rong said softly: "He protested against him, since he said that I was forced to reward him, then I forced him to show it." I've folded it and went to the political affairs hall, well, it's not a private building. ”

"Eh, wouldn't it be good to go directly over Shangguan like this? offended him......"

He smiled and asked, "Is it okay if he offended me?" ”

Lifu Su was speechless for a moment.

If anyone else said this, he would only feel arrogant.

But if these words came out of Ouyang Lianghan's mouth, it seemed to ...... It makes sense.

Lifusu nodded slowly.

That's right, Lord Wang, why do you say you're messing with him?

Behind, Xie Ling, who was listening attentively, smiled.

Ouyang Rong, who was walking in the forefront, suddenly stopped, turned around and said:

"Da Lang, I have a question, and there will only be this question, you answer me truthfully."

Hearing the seriousness in Ouyang Rong's words, he straightened his waist away from Fusu:

"Lianghan, please speak."

"If one day, you and your father have the opportunity to ascend to the Great Treasure, will you tolerate me doing similar things?"

"Lianghan is too far away."

Li Fusu scratched his head, "Ascend to the Great Treasure...... My father and I can't even think about it. ”

In the next moment, he bumped into Ouyang Rong's calm gaze, and swallowed his words back.

Realizing Ouyang Rong's serious attitude, Li Fusu's expression gradually became serious.

He pursed his lips:

"Liang Han once said, 'Those who hold wages for the people, do not let them freeze to death in the wind and snow.'"

"Although Fusu is reckless, his wisdom is shallow, and he has been working for half his life, he has a heart of kindness, Fusu promised Lianghan instead of his father, if one day, he is lucky enough to reach the pole, and he will live up to all the salaryholders, including Lianghan!"

Ouyang Rong bowed.

"Remember the words."

He turned his head and went down the hill first.

Xie Lingjiang didn't seem to have had enough shopping, so he stepped forward and asked, "Senior brother, where are you going now?" ”

Ouyang Rong smiled:

"Little junior sister, is Sushan delicious?"

"Hmm."

"Then go back to Merlot Park and taste some more."

"Go back?"

"Well, if you don't go back, if your uncle and they have a heat stroke, won't Da Lang be friends with me?"

"Lianghan ......" was a little embarrassed to leave Fusu.

The group returned to Luming Street, Yan Liulang had official business, temporarily separated, and went to the county office.

Ouyang Rong, Xie Lingjiang and Fusu returned to Merlot Garden.

Merlin Courtyard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a crowd of people waiting in the courtyard for a long time.

Leisurely, Wei Mei, Libaoer, and Caishou and other three or two maids.

The warm afternoon breeze blows, like a gentle hand, and a huge jujube tree in the center of the courtyard is rustling.

The golden sunlight leaked through the green leaves of the treetops, and the sparse shadows on the ground swayed softly.

Sitting on a stone bench under the tree, his head hanging and dozing, his hat a little crooked.

dozed off like the old man, and the bun-faced maid Caishou, but she was standing, standing behind Bao'er, and the little head and chicken pecked the rice a few times.

Li'er and Wei Mei immediately found the return of Ouyang Rong and his party.

Surprise in the eyes.

"Shh

Ouyang Rong raised his index finger and put it to his mouth, signaling the mother and daughter.

Turning his head to wake up the idle Wei Mei and Libao'er, he couldn't help but pause.

In the courtyard, Ouyang Rong took the lead, slowed down, his face was calm, and took Xie Lingjiang with him, passing by the three of them and walking to the study.

Wei Mei turned his head, looked at Lifusu, who had returned together, and glanced at each other, with an inquiring look in his eyes.

A pair of bright starry eyes from Bao'er slanted at Ouyang Rong who passed by her calmly, following his figure all the way.

The masked white veil covered the expression of the little girl with plum blossom makeup at the moment, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Squeak——!

The inevitable sound of the door pushing sounded, waking up the drowsy leisure.

"Hmmmm......" Lixian opened his eyes and looked around, muttering in his mouth, a little confused.

In the next second, he saw the figure of Ouyang Rong in the study in front of him.

"Good Han Xian nephew! You're back? ”

Lixian jumped up from the stone bench in the courtyard, and the tiredness that was originally covering his face was swept away, and he spoke out of joy.

This middle-aged rich man is like a child, dancing with his hands, looking left and right, and informing his wife and children.

Wei Mei, Libao'er, and Lifu Su all looked at him with helpless expressions.

As if sensing the subtle and embarrassing atmosphere, he paused in his idle movements, his face turned scornful, and he turned his head to Lifu Su and asked in a low voice:

"When did Liang Hanxian's nephew come back, he didn't sleep for too long for his father, right?"

Lifusu shook his head.

Xie Lingjiang walked out of the study and wanted to speak.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the courtyard.

Everyone looked back.

Yan Liulang rushed into the courtyard, looked around, and shouted towards the study:

"Ming Mansion! Luoyang sent an envoy here! Accompanied by state officials, they have just arrived at the county office! ”

"Luoyang Envoy?!"

When I heard it, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and I murmured:

"Oh no, oh no, why is there someone in Luoyang again! What is the so-called ...... this time?"

When Wei Mei, Lifusu, and Libao'er heard this, they immediately got up, and there was chaos in the courtyard.

"Uh."

Yan Liulang turned his head, his face hesitated, and he waited for the person who was so anxious to turn in place:

"Uncle, Dalang, it seems that the envoy is not here to look for you...... It's not a palace person, it's an official of the ministry, and it seems that he is looking for a ...... from the Ming Mansion."

"Huh?" Leave the idle stunned and look back.

At this time, there was a slight "clang".

In the courtyard, someone pushed open the door and walked out alone.

Ouyang Rong didn't know when, he changed into a water-green seven-grade official uniform.

"Oh."

He stuffed a stack of folds in his hand into his sleeves, lowered his head and sorted out the wide dark green cuffs of his official uniform, calmly passed by Yan Liulang and everyone in the courtyard, and walked outside.

I saw the young county commander slowly bowing his head:

"Finally someone, it's tiring to wait, let's go, little sister, go over and take a look." Wait a moment away from uncle, Da Lang, trouble. ”

Everyone in the courtyard looked at each other.

Looking at the calm senior brother, Xie Ling Jiang smiled lightly, Lianbu stepped forward, tiptoed slightly, and took care of his neckline with two plain hands.

"Wait, don't move, there's a mess here......"

After the dressing was completed, Ouyang Rong took the lead out of the courtyard and left with Xie Lingjiang and Yan Liulang.

Lixian, Lifusu and others reacted and followed in a daze.

Oh, the people of Merlot Garden rushed to Longcheng County.

At this time, there were many onlookers on Luming Street.

Longcheng County Ya, the main gate is wide open today, and the figure is crowded.

Diao County Cheng and other officials who were originally resting on the day appeared in the door.

At this time, they were waiting excitedly and anxiously, frequently looking back at the direction of the county hall behind them, and glancing at the direction of Merlot Park from time to time.

At a certain moment, Diao Xiancheng's eyes lit up and stepped forward:

"Mingfu, you are finally here, hurry up, the envoy of the gods is waiting for you! Go, go, go! ”
