Ouyang Rong rushed into the study together with Xie Lingjiang, who was holding the piano box, and Libao'er, who was lifting the hem of the skirt.

What caught the eyes of the three of them was the staggered tables and chairs, and the broken porcelain and tea leaves splashing all over the ground.

Cold tea trickled down to the side of their boots at the doorway.

And the two people in the study...... He bowed his head from Da Lang and spun in place in a panic;

Sitting on the cool floor splashed with a pile of broken porcelain tea leaves, his left hand propped up on the ground, and he looked down at an unfamiliar jade plaque in his right palm, which was engraved with inscriptions.

Ouyang Rong even saw that there was red blood overflowing from the palm of his hand that was lying on the ground, which seemed to be cut by the broken porcelain on the ground.

However, the expression of the Venerable King of Xunyang was stunned, staring at the jade plate, repeating what he was muttering, Ouyang Rong and the others couldn't hear it clearly.

Seeing this scene, Xie Lingjiang immediately turned around, closed the door, and isolated the inside and outside.

"What's going on?" Ouyang Rong frowned a little dissatisfied, and asked, "What's the news?" ”

But no one answered.

Li'er turned his head and asked Wei Mei: "Mother, where is the informant of the Xiangwangfu?" ”

"I poured tea and came back, and when I saw that Liulang and Fusu were in a state that was not right after reading the letter, I took Guo Yu and them down first, and now they are waiting in the flower hall."

Wei Mei replied worriedly, and walked at the same time, helping up the embarrassed part.

Li'er suddenly shouted: "Brother! ”

The depressed Li Dalang suddenly shook his spirit, looked around, and seemed to see the people around him only now:

"Tanlang!"

I saw that the always optimistic Li Dalang handed out a crumpled letter paper with both hands, with a sad face:

"Look, grandmother she...... It's over, it's all over. ”

Ouyang Rong silently answered the letter, lowered his eyes and browsed,

Lida Lang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said to Xie Lingjiang, Libao'er, and Wei Mei, and the three daughters:

"Li Zhengyan waved the banner of Kuang Fu and left the Qian, and the state and county between Hongzhou and Guizhou were all looking down on the wind, sweeping more than half, my grandmother was furious, and was bewitched and provoked by the King of Wei and the King of Liang, and issued a secret decree to imprison the king of Xiang, and my grandmother gave me a glass of wine, and sent the female official Miaozhen, who secretly followed the messenger team to Jiangzhou, and supervised my father and I to apologize for our crimes.

"The envoy team is already on the way, and it will arrive in Xunyang City tomorrow morning!"

As soon as these words came out, the room was silent.

There was only an oil lamp left on the table, and the flame core swayed from side to side, causing the lookers to worry that it would be extinguished in the next second.

As a result, the figures of everyone under the lights seemed to be still but not quiet, and seemed to be moving but not moving.

Ouyang Rong put down the secret letter, broke the silence, raised his head and asked calmly:

"The secret letter of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Who sent it, the one named Guo Yu? ”

Wei Mei nodded and replied: "It's that Guo Yu, a confidant of King Xiang, every time Luoyang reported before, he took the risk to send it." ”

Li Dalang grabbed Ouyang Rong's sleeve and said sadly:

"Tan Lang, my father and I couldn't believe it at first, after all, there was no one to write about such a big thing, but Guo Yu took out the personal token sent by the imprisoned emperor's uncle from the deep palace at the risk of death, and the Xiangwang Mansion also sent an old general with qi refining cultivation to escort him from Luoyang with 100,000 urgently, and inform us before the arrival of the wine envoy."

Ouyang Rong wanted to speak, and a dejected voice came from next to him:

"This Hetian jade plate is the eldest brother who has died, and when he was still the prince in the past, he gave it to the king and the emperor's brother, as well as Changle."

Lixian has been helped up by Wei Mei, holding the jade card in one hand, and the other hand is injured and bleeding, Li'er cut off a piece of skirt fabric and bandaged his father.

He stared blankly at the jade plaque and continued to say sadly:

"Sister Changle's jade plate, when the mother and eldest brother were at odds in the past, it was smashed by the mother queen, and now there are only two surviving pieces, one in this royal house, and one ......"

The words paused, looked at the familiar jade card in his hand, and laughed miserably:

"The emperor's brother was imprisoned and risked death to send urgent news...... I didn't expect that our two brothers would die after all...... The nightmare that has haunted for many years is indeed true, this king will eventually be poisoned by poisoned wine, and he will still come...... Woooooooo ”

As he spoke, the Great Emperor of the Great Qian, the Great Emperor of Xunyang, who was about to be killed by his biological mother Bai Aya, hugged a pair of cherished wives and daughters in front of him and cried bitterly, crying silently.

When Ouyang Rong heard this, he frowned and was silent for a while, and didn't ask what the so-called dream was about the idle nonsense, he spoke:

"Veterans?"

Crying bitterly, only from the sleepwalking dumbness of Da Lang explained:

"That's right, this general's name is Meng Shouguang, and he was a loyal confidant in the imperial army when his father was the crown prince leading the right cavalry guard general......

"Tonight, he also sent Guo Yu to help us escape."

Ouyang Rong quieted down.

He didn't speak, he was left and lost his soul like a dream, and he lost his backbone, and the remaining three daughters were also six gods without a master, and he turned his head north to look at Luoyang, as if he couldn't figure out the ruthlessness of the unmasked grandmother.

The atmosphere in the room was silent for a while.

Ouyang Rong raised his head, and suddenly said to the father and son:

"Uncle, Da Lang, there is no endless road, go, take me to meet Guo Yu, and I'll ask carefully."

He smiled at everyone.

Seeing his calm appearance, Lixian and the others nodded like a person in the water grabbing a life-saving straw:

"Good, good."

Everyone went out.

However, Xie Lingjiang, who had been paying attention to the senior brother, followed closely behind him, and saw that Ouyang Rong's shirt was close to the back of his neck, as if he was wet with cold sweat.

Xie Lingjiang lowered his head, took out a handkerchief, and silently handed it to someone......

At the door of the flower hall, Ouyang Rong put away the wet handkerchief and walked in with everyone.

He immediately saw two dusty figures, one strange and one familiar.

One is Guo Yu, a goatee official with whom Ouyang Rong has had several encounters, but he came tonight, not wearing an official uniform, a black round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, low-key and simple.

The hot tea in his hand did not move, and he looked tired and worried.

There is also a tall strong man with a national face, wearing a forehead wipe, gray power suit, a leather belt around the waist, black boots on his feet, arms as long as an ape, and he seems to often bend his bow and shoot arrows.

He looks honest, and his expression is silent and serious.

His sitting posture was a little restrained, and before Ouyang Rong and his party came in, their eyes looked at the direction of the door with blazing eyes, and their eyes were expectant and nervous.

At this moment, Ouyang Rong, Lixian and others walked in.

The honest man got up movingly, threw himself away, knelt on one knee, his eyes were red, and his voice was choked:

"Your Highness, you...... What's wrong with your hand, are you fine? ”

"I accidentally fell, a little injury, please wake up, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still so stormy, you are not calm."

Lixian smiled reluctantly, and stretched out his hand to help his cronies and old generals.

Meng Shouguang's pair of bronze bull's eyes tried to widen, but tears poured out, a manly man, but he couldn't cry in front of people: "I don't change, I, I will always be the guard of the Seventh Highness!" ”

The two monarchs and ministers, reunited after a long absence, hugged their heads and cried together, which made everyone look sideways and sigh.

"Lord Wang." It was Guo Yu who got up and walked over, first looked at Ouyang Rong behind the idle father and son, and he bowed his head and saluted.

"Mr. Guo, hurry up and excuse me." With the help of Lidalang, he turned away from his body and began to introduce to Guo Yu and Meng Shouguang:

"This is Tan Lang, this king's humerus, if there is no Tan Lang, this king's family will not be able to get out of Dragon City. Mr. Guo should have seen it before. ”

"Ouyang has a long history, and he has admired his name for a long time." Guo Yu seriously bowed his hand to Ouyang Rong, Meng Shouguang also clenched his fists heavily, looked at him with gratitude in his eyes, and looked up and down, as if he wanted to remember the good man in front of him.

Ouyang Rong has been silently watching the two of them since he walked into the flower hall, taking in their facial expressions and demeanor, at this moment, he smiled politely and waved the letter paper in his hand:

"The situation is critical, so I won't be polite to the two of you, let's get down to business first."

Hurriedly wiped away their tears, and everyone suddenly became serious and nervous.

Guo Yu was worried: "Your Excellency wants to ask something." ”

Ouyang Rong said directly:

"When was His Royal Highness the Prime Minister imprisoned?"

"On August 8, His Royal Highness was summoned into the palace late at night, and was angrily reprimanded by His Majesty and imprisoned......

"This matter was originally strictly blocked, His Royal Highness the Prime Minister, who was banned in the deep palace, risked his life to buy the eunuch, and informed Princess Changle with jade, and the princess took the risk to inform the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he sent General Zai Xia and Meng to rush to Jiangzhou to remind the prince and the prince!"

Ouyang Rong listened carefully, spun around in place, frowned and asked:

"Good manner, why is Your Majesty angry and ordered the poison, but what is the misunderstanding?"

Guo Yu was worried and quickly grabbed his beard, and said anxiously:

"The sacred heart is unpredictable, who can know, but in the next guess, it should be related to a few news from the capital on August 8, in fact, His Royal Highness the Prime Minister had a bad premonition before, and he didn't expect to be called into the palace that night.

"A piece of news came from the southwest, Li Zhengyan and Wei Shaoqi led the army all the way north, and they had swept through the southern half of the Lingnan and entered the Jiangnan Province in the north.

"On the day of the court meeting, I heard that His Majesty directly dismissed the Lingnan Provincial Inspector and a number of supervisors of the imperial history."

Guo Yu's face hesitated: "There is another piece of news, it is from your side, I heard that ......"

"What did you hear?" Ouyang Rong asked.

"I heard that it was Jiangzhou Assassin Wang Leng Ran who wrote a book, framing the prince and Li Zhengyan for eyebrow-raising, saying that the prince took in Wang Junzhi, the accomplice of Li Zhengyan and the former doctor of Jiangzhou, and tried to rebel when Cai Qinjun attacked Jiangzhou. It seems that some female officials supervising Jiangzhou testified on this matter. ”

Leave the idleness: "So the mother believes it?" If you don't check it, you want to give death to this king? ”

Guo Yu smiled bitterly and was speechless.

Meng Shouguang next to him seemed to think of the past again, his eyes were sad, and he was angry in the urn:

"It must be those two Wei traitors who slandered and provoked the relationship between the saint and the prince! Traitors mislead the country, and their hearts should be punished! ”

The worst-case scenario is still a small probability that it will happen.

Ouyang Rong frowned.

The attitude of the empress in the Luoyang court changed suddenly, and the news came too quickly, making people unprepared.

Originally, he had always believed that after so many years of immersion in the court, the empress had been tempered into a qualified politician, whether it was imperial art or the establishment of a prince, she was a veteran who could carry it clearly.

Therefore, in the general direction, her reaction and behavior should be traceable.

But reality, sometimes, is often more absurd and illogical than the script.

Ouyang Rong looked at Lixian, Lidalang, Wei Mei, Guo Yu and others in the room in a daze.

It occurred to him that he might have missed a link.

In history, it seems that most of the wise and scheming emperors will be confused when they enter their old age, just like being old and not dying is a thief.

And the founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the dragon chair at the highest point in the Luoyang court is already an old woman who is over eighty years old, although there are many young men in the palace.

But the matter of the center of Songde of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Buddha statue in the four directions is not quite like a job that a normal emperor with a heart of hard work can do, not to mention, who knows if there are other hidden spare tires for the empress Wei Zhao in addition to the abolished emperor's family, and it is not a pity to discard one......

"Master, what is the reaction of Lord Shen?" Ouyang Rong suddenly asked.

Guo Yu's face was stunned and shook his head:

"I don't know, His Royal Highness King Xiang risked death as soon as the news came out, so that the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately sent General Zai Xia and General Meng to inform him, before we set off, Master Shen They should not know yet, and I don't know what is happening in Luoyang now......"

Ouyang Rong was silent for a moment,

It is no wonder that the letter received this afternoon from his mentor Xie Xun did not mention this urgent matter, and he should have sent this letter before the night of August 8.

Maybe the latest letter from the teacher Xie Xun and Lord Shen is already on the way, although it is too late to look at it now.

This kind of unexpected situation is very easy to disrupt the position of a wise and confident person, and the political struggle is cruel and rapid, and it is difficult to give people time to make a decision.

Ouyang Rong panted slightly, knowing that this moment was dangerous, and tried to stay calm.

Using the existing fragmented information, his brain quickly analyzed,

But the more I thought about it, the more cold I became.

"General Zaihemeng, left Luoyang half a day later than this group of female official angels, but he hurried day and night, and transferred with them in Yangzhou, and now he is chasing after him, and he is coming before them."

Guo Yu hurriedly urged:

"Lord Wang, Shizi, Ouyang Changshi, Luoyang Angel's ship will go to Xunyang tomorrow morning!

"Hurry up and figure it out...... Otherwise, it's better to run away, it's too late! ”

The atmosphere in the flower hall became impatient.

"Run, where can we escape?"

Crumbling from idleness, supported by his wife and eldest son, he looked dead.

Li'er clutched a letter sword in his sleeve, his pretty face was distracted, and he suddenly spoke: "Wang Junzhi is next door." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! And Wang Junzhi and Li Zhengyan, they are ...... in the southwest."

It seems that there is still one night left to do leisurely, like a traveler who is lost in the desert and is about to die of thirst, but sees the oasis, and is excited.

He hurriedly beckoned everyone and was about to flee the door, but immediately, a soft shout came from behind him:

"Big Brother ......"

Xie Lingjiang shouted worriedly to the handsome young man who was standing in place, bowing his head and saying nothing.

"Tanlang."

"Tanlang, you...... What do you think? ”

Lixian, Lidalang, Libao'er, and Wei Mei all stopped their hurried steps, and the family tacitly looked at someone who was still immovable, waiting for him to nod intently.

Guo Yu and Meng Shouguang, who risked death to report the news, also paused, followed and turned their heads, or looked at this "Tan Lang" who seemed to have a very heavy voice in Xunyang Palace.

Ouyang Rong raised his head and looked at the surrounding circles of faces with different expressions.

He knows.

A life-and-death choice was placed in front of him again.
