"Remember the first time we met?"

"First meeting?"

"Well, on the day when Wang Junzhi, the traitor of the Kuangfu Army, attacked the prince at the Xunyang Palace, you got in the carriage of your female relatives and came to find Ye Weila."

"Um, remember, Rong Nu Shi almost scared people to death."

"There must be something wrong with you."

"No, I'm not a ghost. It's Rong Nushi. You showed up with a cold face, wearing a white skirt, with a girlish figure, sitting coldly inside - you don't know how permeable you are, although you are impressive.

A little bit." After a pause, Ouyang Rong added: "But after all, this is the first time I've met you, and I'm not familiar with you yet."

"What about now?"

"I can't be scared now. Why is Rong Nu Shi so interested in mentioning the past?"

Ouyang Rong, Rong Zhen, and Yi Qianqiu crossed the white mist across the river and disembarked at a heavily guarded shore outside the main grotto on the north bank.

After Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen landed, they walked towards the Big Buddha and chatted about old things on the way.

"I just think that fate is a very strange thing. I had a bad impression of you at that time. In fact, I was suspicious of you and wanted to scratch your pigtails."

Ouyang Rong tilted his head when he saw Rong Zhen's back, as if staring into the distance, nodded and said:

"I admit that although I am here on behalf of a saint and should maintain a neutral stance, when enforcing the law impartially, I will inevitably be biased due to the influence of inherent impressions. In this regard, I am indeed somewhat incompetent."

"Normal, human nature."

Ouyang Rong said with relief:

"And you are not the only one like this. There is no need to blame yourself. On the contrary, it is very rare for a female historian to wake up to herself. Not all law enforcers have such high moral requirements for themselves. Many of them pretend to be confused.

"

Rong Zhen was curious: "Oh? For example?"

Ouyang Rong paused and whispered: "For example, the Miaozhen female history, isn't it the same?"

Rong Zhen pursed her pink lips into a thin line. After a while, she opened her lips and said:

"You can comfort people, but Miao Zhennv Shi does have some prejudice against Prince Xunyang's Palace, which is related to her experience."

Ouyang Rong said with a smile: "Everything I heard is just old sesame and rotten millet."

Rong Zhen suddenly turned around, looked at Ouyang Rong, and said solemnly:

"It is these past events of old sesame seeds and rotten millet that people will remember for a long time, and we are inevitably vulgar."

Ouyang Rong was stunned for a moment, looked at her surprisingly serious expression, and nodded.

"Yeah, that's the truth. It was just commonplace at that time."

Hearing this, Rong Zhen felt comfortable for a moment, and murmured: "At that time, I just thought it was an ordinary—an ordinary—good poem. Where did this poem come from?"

Ouyang Rong said teasingly: "I told you, can you read Rong Nu's history when you get back?"

"How did you know that I don't know how to translate, Ouyang Lianghan, I remember a lot of what you said, far more than you think."

Ouyang Rong thought for a while and answered seriously:

"It's best not to remember angry words, and the same goes for grudges."

The joke was cold, as was his humor, but Rong actually laughed.

The stunningly beautiful girl in palace attire looked quite happy with her smile.

"Don't worry, I don't hold grudges."

Rong Zhen put his hands behind his back, held his head high, strode forward, and wrote lightly.

Ouyang Rong followed and continued to say, half comforting and half joking:

"So, as Rong Nu Shi used to say, everyone has selfish motives, and they are not worthy of being treated by outsiders. No matter how big or small they are, there are also those below."

"I know you have it."

Rong Zhen suddenly interrupted Ouyang Rong,

Before he could speak, she asked softly:

"Ouyang Lianghan, are your selfish motives for Prince Xunyang's Palace?"

Ouyang Rong pointed in front:

"Rong Nu Shi, let's walk faster, Commander Yi has already walked ahead of me."

"You think I am short and walk slowly?"

"No, no."

Before Ouyang Rong finished waving his hands, he heard Rong Zhen's faint words coming from the front:

"That's changing the subject, that's acquiescence."

Ouyang Rong was helpless:

"That's not true, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is very kind to me and can help me, so naturally I have to help you more."

Rong Zhen looked back and stared at him with admiration:

"I understand that a scholar will die for his confidant.

Ouyang Rong said seriously:

"It's better not to die than not to die."

It was originally a humorous sentence from him, but unexpectedly Rong Zhen nodded seriously:

"Yes, it is better to die than to live. Death is easy, but living is difficult, because living often requires choices. Some choices may be worse than death, but you must choose. Ouyang Lianghan, living is the truly brave thing.

Death is not."

Ouyang Rong noticed that Rong Zhen looked a little like he was feeling the same, and couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong with Rong Nu Shi today? Just say something sad about the autumn and the spring."

Rong Zhen withdrew his gaze from a distance and shook his head gently:

"I just feel that I have had too little time to talk to you recently. Ouyang Lianghan, you have been too busy recently, not on official duties, but on private matters."

Ouyang Rong shook his head:

"No, aunt and others feel that I spend too little time with them."

Rong Zhen murmured: "I know you value your loved ones."

Ouyang Rong felt that something was wrong with Rong Zhen today. He couldn't stand this kind of chatting atmosphere, so he didn't answer the call.

The two walked forward in silence for a while, and Rong Zhen was the first to break the silence. Without looking back, he asked:

"Ouyang Lianghan, what if you were asked to choose between the common people, the country, and your confidants and noble people?"

"Why is it a choice? Do you women like to make choices, or let others make choices?"

Ouyang Rong chuckled softly, and Rong Zhenxie was eager to speak. He had already taken the lead in speaking:

"No matter what you choose, you can't choose them all. I'm different from you. I either want them all, or I don't choose them all."

Rong Zhen suddenly asked: "What about relationships? Do you want them all? Do you dare to want them all?"

In one sentence, Ouyang Rong almost died.

He simply looked at his nose, nose and heart, tilted his head left and right, and took in the surrounding scenery.

The group of people had already entered the main cave of Xunyang Grottoes under the guidance of the White Tiger Guards. Along the way, the surrounding generals and female officials all greeted them and paid attention.

After learning that Rong Zhen had returned, some female officials came towards us one after another, but they were dismissed by Rong Zhen with a wave of his hand.

Ouyang Rong observed around and found that the manpower and security in the main grotto today were the same as the day when the twin peaks were sealed and the Donglin Giant Buddha was built.

Before, it could be regarded as a drill, but today, according to the news about Yunmeng Jianze revealed by Xiu Niang when she confessed in the carriage, Xuezhongzhu is really going to bring people from Tiannan Jianghu, but she doesn’t know why.

way to appear.

Ouyang Rong held his palms up to his eyebrows to protect himself from the sun, and glanced at the cloudless sky.

Be careful of the insect girl, it's that big bird, right?

He nodded lightly.

At this moment, Ouyang Rong had entered the main grotto. The white fog in this area was sparse and thin, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Naturally, he could see the blue sky and the sun, which was different from when he took the boat on the river just now.

Ahead, the icy girl in palace attire waited for a while, but Ouyang Rong didn't answer.

She had an expressionless face and was used to it.

"Don't look at it. When everyone is here, I will talk to you and introduce you one by one. You don't need to be so tired. You can do everything yourself. You can take a rest today and leave this place to us."

Ouyang Rong looked at her differently and asked towards her straight back as she walked forward in her sleeves:

"Is Rong Nu Shi so confident? It's rare. I just heard some news."

Rong Zhen seemed not to have heard and asked to himself:
To be continued...
