During the meal.

Yan Liulang quietly stepped forward and whispered in his ear:

"Ming Mansion, General Qin contacted me through some channels and said that he wanted to see you."

Ouyang Rong was slightly startled.

I thought that after Lan Changhao's incident was over, the two would resume their original distance and have a tacit understanding.

In the afternoon, it was the old place of Yunshui Pavilion again.

Because of the problem of avoiding suspicion, the meeting process was complicated and secretive.

In the box, Ouyang Rong and Qin Heng met again, with a cup of hot tea in front of them.

Qin Heng, who left angrily last time, now looks much calmer. He clasped his fists apologetically:

"Last time I was very emotional and left rudely. I was quite willful. I hope Ouyang Changshi will bear with me."

"It's okay, I understand."

Ouyang Rong waved his hand carelessly.

"Then why does General Qin come here today?"

Qin Heng shook his head: "I have nothing to trouble Ouyang Changshi, but I just want to... thank you."

Ouyang Rong shook his head: "But my memorial was of no use. The soldiers of the third regiment are still postponed for one year."

Qin Heng shook his head:

"It can't be calculated that way. If Ouyang Changshi writes to the soldiers of the third regiment, he is already helping."

He looked a little guilty:

"Ouyang Changshi may not know that the matter of your objection has been spread in the high-level meeting hall of Zhechong Mansion. After General Yang and others found out, they privately criticized you and made unpleasant remarks.

"I have heard that Lan Changshi didn't look very well before he left a few days ago, and he parted with you on bad terms."

Ouyang Rong interrupted and shook his head seriously:

"It doesn't matter. I'm not familiar with them. Wang Lengran has always been in charge of military affairs. I don't usually have contact with the generals of Zhe Chong Mansion. My boss has such an attitude. It's strange that they can say good things about me."

After a pause, "General Qin is the only one willing to see me."

Qin Heng shook his head, his face still looking a little apologetic.

After being silent for a while, he suddenly reported the address of Xingzifang.

"This is……"

Before Ouyang Rong could finish curiously asking, he lowered his eyes and said calmly:

"My wife, the last general, loves to raise crabapples. There is always a pot of crabapple flowers on the wall of her house.

"If nothing happens, I won't change the flowers. But if it happens, the begonias on the wall in the backyard disappear and a pot of red azaleas is put on it. Can Ouyang Changshi come here again to drink tea together?"

Ouyang Rong said calmly: "Okay."

Immediately, the two discussed the details of their future meeting.

Not long after, they all left cautiously and low-key.

When Ouyang Rong returned home, his eyes were filled with joy.

I didn't expect that Qin Heng would express his position like this.

Willing to send signals.

Although Ouyang Rong had been restrained and did not openly explain the difficulties to him, Qin Heng must have been vaguely aware of his predicament with the Xunyang Palace recently.

Because Jiangzhou Zhechong Mansion has tacitly assumed the responsibility of supervising Prince Xunyang Mansion.

All military affairs in Jiangzhou were controlled by Wang Lengran.

Therefore, Qin Heng's hint this time is very obvious:

The azalea tray placed on the wall indicates something involving him and Prince Xunyang's Mansion.

If you arrange begonia flowers as usual, then everything will be fine.

As Captain You Guoyi of Zhechong Mansion in Jiangzhou, Qin Heng can be regarded as the deputy chief officer of Zhechong Mansion and the third or fourth leader in military affairs in Jiangzhou.

Some of the troubles in Zhe Chong Mansion could hardly be hidden from him.

From now on, Ouyang Rong will no longer have a blind eye on Jiangzhou's military affairs. If there is any big movement in the army near Jiangzhou, at least he is not blind.

Ouyang Rong immediately found Ye Weila, who was practicing calligraphy, and gave him some instructions.

Then, she had one more thing to do:

Go out every other day,

Go to the busy market of Xingzifang to buy flowers and fruits,

Passing by a certain residential street on the way, I took a look at the crabapple pots on the wall of a certain courtyard to see if they had been replaced with azalea pots. I will notify you in time...

On the second day, Ouyang Rong suddenly received two letters one after another.

One letter is from teacher Xie Xun.

One letter was from Shen Xisheng, the censor Zhongcheng.

The letter mentioned that Li Zhengyan, Wei Shaoqi, Du Shuqing and Wang Jun, who were demoted due to the turmoil of Songde Tianshu in the Great Zhou Dynasty, would arrive in Jiangzhou soon.

Previously they were both members of the Liberation faction, and they had good friendships with Xie Xun and Shen Xisheng.

After this group of "relegated celebrities" left Beijing, they went south along the Grand Canal and stopped in Yangzhou for a while. I heard that a group of frustrated people were indulged in the fireworks of Yangzhou.

But now, the time limit set by the imperial court for taking office was coming soon, and we had to take office, so we went along the way and continued along the Yangtze River.

The ships will pass through Jiangzhou, because among them Wang Junzhi and Du Shuqing were demoted to Jiangzhou. One is a doctor of Jiangzhou and the other is the Prime Minister of Longcheng County. They have some fate with Ouyang Rong.

However, Jiangzhou is a place where old officials have been demoted, which is normal.

Both Xie Xun and Shen Xisheng asked Ouyang Rong to receive them well in their letters.

If the political turmoil caused by Tianshu hadn't ruined his official career,

Li Zhengyan, Wei Shaoqi, Du Shuqing, Wang Junzhi and others were all the mainstays of the original Baoli faction, or rising stars.

Individually, he is not even worse than Ouyang Rong now.

Especially the leader Li Zhengyan.

He was born in a noble family in Guanlong, and his ancestor was the founding Duke of the country. His title is still inherited, and he has good knowledge and a wide network of contacts.

In the words of teacher Xie Xun's emotional words, if not for the change of dynasty, His Majesty and the Wei family deliberately suppressed the nobles Guan Long, this person would definitely have been more than just the governor of a state before the crisis.

Ouyang Rong rarely saw a teacher praise someone so much and take it seriously.

In addition, Li Zhengyan wanted to meet King Lixian of Xunyang, so he came to the two of them to make friends.

So now, Xie Xun and Shen Xisheng sent a letter, and the matter naturally fell on the student Ouyang Rong.

The two told him to "make a proper introduction."

Ouyang Rong frowned slightly:

"Have you visited Prince Xunyang's Mansion? I will give you a proper introduction. The teacher's words are becoming more and more sophisticated.

"Well, it's slander, right? I said it, but it seems to be true, but the problem fell on me...

"Hey, there are two new colleagues, it looks like it's going to be lively again."
