No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 674: Candle in the Snow: Go and get rid of Ouyang Lianghan [Complete, monthly ticket requested! ]

After hearing what Li Dalang did, Ouyang Rong and Yan Liulang looked at each other.

The worried look on his face suddenly disappeared.

But his brows were still furrowed.

He raised two fingers

“First, doesn’t Princess Anhui hate Dalang? Why did she suddenly invite Dalang out on a date?
"Princess Anhui seemed reserved, but why did she become so bold?"

Ouyang Rong spoke calmly, as if talking to himself:

"Secondly, why did she choose our banquet and invite people over? If she really wanted to meet Dalang in private, there should be many ways to do it, whether intentionally or accidentally."

Yan Liulang nodded upon hearing this:

"What the Lord Ming said is correct. The prince also thinks this matter is strange, so he specially asked me to ask the Lord Ming what to do now."

Ouyang Rong pondered for a moment:
"Go back and tell the prince to politely decline the invitation for now. In the short term, do not participate in any activities with Princess Anhui to avoid running into each other. Also, Dalang did a good job this time and notified us in time, which is worthy of praise... That's all for now. I'll make other arrangements after I return to the palace in the next two days."

"Okay, I'll follow your orders."

Ouyang Rong waved his hand, took out a white cloth and wiped the xylophone. After a while, he found that Yan Liulang had no intention of getting off the car.

The blue-clothed captain's expression remained serious, and he turned to glance outside the car.

Ouyang Rong asked without raising his head:

"What else?"

After looking around and making sure there was no one nearby, Yan Liulang lowered the curtain, turned around, and whispered:

"Mingfu, there was another letter this morning."

Ouyang Rong kept wiping the xylophone.

He even hooked his fingers with interest and plucked a string.

"Zheng~"

When a zither sounded, Yan Liulang's eyelids twitched, and he lowered his head even deeper as he clasped his fists to report.

All I heard was a laugh from the young governor in front of me:
"Good Qin, Liu Lang, today is the day to meet friends."

……

Quiet little courtyard.

A drop of morning dew hung on the petals of the pear tree in the yard, about to fall.

This morning, the wind was a bit strong at Xingzi Lake and the sky was blue-gray.

Something is missing.

It’s the morning light.

Fang Shengnan withdrew her gaze from the drop of dew.

She glanced at Zhao Qingxiu, who was sitting quietly across the stone table, embroidering blindly.

From time to time, the young lady would hold her index finger in her mouth and suck it.

Fang Shengnan noticed that her index finger was a little red, because the embroidery needle had pierced her fingertip repeatedly.

The young lady's face was calm, and she moved slowly, step by step, without stopping, as if she was climbing a mountain.

Although her five senses were clear except for the blindness, embroidery was still a difficult task without her eyes. However, Zhao Qingxiu relied more on her skilled muscle memory to sew clothes stitch by stitch.

At this moment, there were only Zhao Qingxiu and Fang Shengnan in the courtyard.

There was no sign of Fang Juxiu.

Fang Shengnan held a sword in her arms, sat upright, and looked a little serious.

Zhao Qingxiu was embroidering silently. Occasionally, her fingers were pricked. While sucking her fingers, she would tilt her head towards the gate of the courtyard, as if listening to something.

Fang Shengnan shifted her gaze from the men's Confucian shirt that Zhao Qingxiu was sewing and looked at the young lady's serious and focused face.

She suddenly wanted to know what this Lord Yue Chuzi had experienced that made him so devoted to a fair-faced scholar who was suspected to be kept by a merchant woman and was living off her.

Although after getting to know Ouyang Rong these days, Fang Shengnan felt that Brother Ouyang was a nice guy, not a complete gigolo, but at least he was a loyal, affectionate and responsible gigolo, which was quite to her liking, well, except for the fact that he was suspected of being kept by someone.

However, there is no shortage of such good men in the world, but they are far from worthy of the infatuation of the extremely noble Lord Yue Chuzi.

The young lady is so infatuated that it makes people feel distressed.

at this time.

A gust of wind blew through the yard, shaking off the large dewdrops on the pear tree. The pink and white pear blossoms fell like rain.

Zhao Qingxiu stopped embroidering and sewing with her small hands and slightly raised her little face with her eyes covered by a ribbon.

The cool breeze blew the ribbons tied behind her head into fluttering shapes.

She put down her embroidery, stood up and walked towards the clothesline in the yard.

"It looks like it's going to rain."

Fang Shengnan muttered and prepared to help collect the clothes.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the yard.

The door was pushed open and Fang Juxiu's figure appeared at the door. She quickly entered the yard and closed the door tightly.

Fang Juxiu did not enter the yard immediately. He turned his back to Zhao and Fang, and carefully observed the outside through the gap in the yard door.

After a while, Fang Juxiu breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the yard.

"My lord, I've kept you waiting for a long time." She said respectfully.

Fang Juxiu was wearing a low-key gray men's suit today and a hat that covered his face.

Sit down in front of Zhao Qingxiu and Fang Shengnan.

Zhao Qingxiu opened her mouth and said, "Ah...ah?"

Fang Juxiu took out a letter from his bosom, took a deep breath and said;
"My lady, there is a letter from the eldest and second ladies."

Zhao Qingxiu immediately wrote with her slender index finger which was covered with needle marks.

Strands of blood dyed the clear water on the fingertips red.

[Read to me what they said]

The words turned red, but she didn't care and focused entirely on them.

Fang Juxiu lowered his head and opened the letter, his eyes falling on the delicate and lively handwriting of the second lady.

After confirming again, she glanced at Fang Shengnan and handed over the letter.

The latter understood immediately, took the letter, strode to the kitchen and got an iron plate.

Fang Shengnan took out a tinderbox and blew it to light a spark.

call out--!
The letter paper burned in the iron plate, gradually turned into ashes in the flames and dissipated in the lake breeze.

The flickering flames shone on Fang Juxiu's calm face.

"The letter mainly talks about two things, one for you and one for us."

【explain】

Fang raised his sleeves and spoke slowly:
"What I'm asking you to do is to break through the realm. The second lady said that if you are sure that you can resist the influence of the Dream Abyss and the surroundings are safe, you can try to break through the realm. You don't have to wait for them. Although they have been with you every time you broke through the realm, you are the one who can truly resist the Dream Abyss. They are by your side more to give you peace of mind. With an anchor by your side, the evil dragon can't do anything to you...

"Now that we are in Xunyang City, we are right under the enemy's nose. If it is appropriate, it will be beneficial to break through and improve our strength as soon as possible.

"Moreover, the Second Lady also said that it would be best to break through before the Donglin Buddha lands. The Buddha will definitely have a bad impact on Mengyuan, and the extent is still unknown. But according to the First Lady's estimation, it is still within the controllable range in the short term. But it is better not to take risks. If you enter the seventh level before it, you will have a better chance of arranging the Yunmeng Order..."

Fang Juxiu mostly repeated what was in the letter, speaking in the tone of the second lady.

She didn't quite understand some of the contents of the letter.

Fang Shengnan was the same, but this lady Fang sat upright with bright eyes. Although she didn't understand a lot of what the second lady said, Fang Shengnan was full of energy.

Thanks to the light that passed the message to Yue Chuzi, she heard a lot of great secrets. Although she didn't understand, she was also one of us. This time, she could finally enter Yunmengze... Fang Shengnan's mouth was dry.

Zhao Qingxiu had no idea what the second girl and You Rongyan were thinking. After hearing the instructions in the letter from her second senior sister, her expression did not change the whole time, as if she had expected it.

"what."

She suddenly raised her hand and interrupted Fang Juxiu's words.

[Anything else? Didn’t they mention anything about Tan Lang?]

Seeing the words on the table, Fang Juxiu looked a little hesitant:

"Yes, the Second Lady mentioned it at the end of the letter."

【Quickly say】

After Zhao Qingxiu finished writing the two words, she couldn't help but clench her sleeves with her little hands. The Fang sisters saw that her little face was a little nervous. She had never shown such an expression when she was listening to the instructions of the two female monarchs before.

"It means that the young lady wants to take Young Master Ouyang back for protection. The eldest lady seems not very happy about it, but the second lady said that since being with this boy can help you recover your cultivation progress and even break through, it is not impossible to consider accepting him.

"The second lady said that the first lady is most concerned about your safety. She used to worry that this child would be a burden and unsafe... so she asked you to be patient and wait for her to come over and take a look at this child. If it is suitable, she will do as you say. The second lady also said..."

【say what】

"My dear young master, you have grown up and can take charge of things on your own. You don't have to let the senior sisters make decisions for you in everything. The incident in Dragon City was not handled properly last time, and you were affected. This is also a side proof that the eldest lady is concerned about you and her arbitrary decision-making is not necessarily right. On this point, the second lady still supports you."

Zhao Qingxiu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aa ...

There was a smile on her little face, but the corners of her eyes were sparkling, wetting the sky-blue ribbon covering her eyes.

Laughing and crying caught the Fang sisters off guard.

"My dear, don't cry..."

Zhao Qingxiu waved her hand, comforted the two girls, and wrote seriously:

[Second Senior Sister is so nice, and the Senior Senior Sister... in Tan Lang's words, she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Tan Lang is so nice, they will definitely like him.]

The Fang sisters looked at each other.

Fang Shengnan wanted to say something but stopped herself, but Fang Juxiu pulled her sleeve. She closed her mouth and looked at the pretty blind and mute girl who was suddenly happy with a complicated expression.

I always feel that I am not being very loyal to Brother Ouyang.

[What do I tell you to do?]

Zhao Qingxiu put his mind at ease and continued writing.

Fang Juxiu's face turned solemn:
"This is the order from the eldest lady. We are asked to collect the whereabouts of a person and wait for the second lady to come to Xunyang City..."

Who is this person?

Fang Juxiu hesitated for once, but Fang Shengnan, who had just burned the article after reading it, interrupted with a happy look on her face:

"Ouyang Lianghan!"

She looked with some pride at her sister, who had always admired and favored Ouyang Lianghan in words and deeds.

"This man was the first to issue the ban on Vietnamese women. It's really abominable. As a southerner, he worked for the cruel officials from Luoyang in the north. He contributed the most to the Donglin Buddha... The eldest lady wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of this man. My sister and I will explore the way first."

Zhao Qingxiu tilted his head.

[Will it be dangerous for you to go?]

Fang Shengnan waved her little fist:
"Don't worry, my sister and I can handle it."

Fang Juxiu shook his head helplessly:
"My lady, don't listen to Shengnan's nonsense. Let's try it first. We will act carefully. If we can find an opportunity, we can save the eldest and second ladies from taking action. If not... there are many guards around him, so we will try our best to find out his whereabouts and report it..."

Zhao Qingxiu looked a little hesitant.

Fang Juxiu understood and immediately said:

"My lady, you can't go. You must not take any risks. To put it bluntly, even if all the informants in Xunyang City, including us, are wiped out, we cannot let anything happen to you. In a sense, our departure is also to protect you.

"The first and second lady also repeatedly reminded you in the letter that you are not allowed to interfere in Ouyang Lianghan's affairs. They told you to stay quiet and make a breakthrough. This boy is cunning and you can easily fall into his trap. Your safety is the most important thing. You cannot take even the slightest risk. Wait for the second lady to come in person. She should be on the way...

"Well, in the coming days, Shengnan and I may not be able to stay here with you for long. We need to leave. If we stay in this courtyard all the time, we will be cut off from news. We have to find a way to go home so that we can find out about Ouyang Lianghan later.

"It's settled. What's left to do is to agree with the Second Lady on the time and place to pick her up. Xunyang is under martial law now, so we need to plan carefully to bring her into the city."

Zhao Qingxiu was silent for a while, then nodded gently:
[Okay, you must pay attention to safety]

"Don't worry, I'll protect you."

Fang Shengnan patted her bulging chest and said, "If I catch this kid Ouyang Lianghan alive, he will be in big trouble!"

Fang Juxiu frowned slightly when he heard this.

After a while, she glanced at the sky.

"It's going to rain soon, so I'll draft a letter first, send it out, and agree on a time and place with the Second Lady.

"Well, my lady, I won't reveal the address of this courtyard for now, to prevent the letter from being leaked midway. Yes, let's change to another agreed location, such as Chengtian Temple Zen Temple or our Fang family. My lady, you can wait quietly in this courtyard."

[Okay, I'll wait for your news here]

Fang raised his sleeves to get paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and handed a letter to his sister:

“Shengnan, you go this time and give it to the senior. I went there this morning and it will be easy for people to remember.”

"it is good."

Fang Shengnan changed into gray men's clothes and went out with the letter.

Fang raised his sleeves and watched her back as she walked away.

At this time, a luxurious car slowly drove towards the corner of the street.

Seeing this, Fang Juxiu immediately closed the door and hid in a room.

After a while, Pei Shisanniang got out of the car and walked in.

As usual, he invited Zhao Qingxiu to go out shopping.

Zhao Qingxiu packed up and followed her out, as usual.

Fang raised his sleeves to the door and eavesdropped for a while, then glanced through the crack in the door at the beautiful woman named Pei who was speaking softly to the young lady in the yard outside, with a complicated look in his eyes.

When she thought of that Ouyang Master, she sighed softly:
"A man should be upright and do great things... What a pity."

Pei Shisan Niang took Zhao Qingxiu's hand and went out chatting and laughing.

The courtyard returned to silence. Fang raised her sleeves and walked out of the house. She stood in the courtyard and waited quietly. At some point, she looked at the blue-gray sky and murmured to herself:
"But a man who stands tall and proud and does great things, like Ouyang Lianghan, is not easily swept away by the torrent and crushed by the general trend? It's difficult, difficult, difficult... It's just right, I'll try to meet him this time."

……

The luxurious car frame slowly drove away from Xingzi Lake.

Leave behind the Chengtian Temple, the quiet courtyard and other buildings in the back.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Qingxiu, who was blindfolded and listening to the sound of the wheels, suddenly pulled Pei Shisanniang's sleeve.

Pei Shisanniang asked gently, "What's wrong, Miss Xiuniang?"

She smiled and took Zhao Qingxiu's hand and placed it on her leg.

Zhao Qingxiu wrote on the woman's plump thigh:
[Where to go? Aren’t we going to Taoshouzhai?]

Pei Shisanniang smiled and replied:
"Tao Shou Zhai is closed today, let's go somewhere else."

Zhao Qingxiu was slightly stunned.
