Chapter 747: Rong Zhen's Defense Deployment Revealed

How to become famous through the ages?
It's simple, just carving words on stone, plain and simple, but effective.

Ouyang Rong looked at it for a long time and felt that if this circle of lotus inscriptions had been preserved, it would be enough to make a ten-episode archaeological drama "Approaching the Forks" in his previous life, with some music at the beginning and a voice-over saying that a certain villager accidentally discovered it when he went into the mountains... It could also have a suspenseful and thriller style, and the protagonists that future generations would revolve around when they were curious and explored would most likely be "Governor Ouyang Lianghan" and "Female Historian Rong Zhen".

Really amazing.

However, while he was being amused and funny, Ouyang Rong's face showed a hint of emotion.

He had never expected such a gift.

Ouyang Rong had thought of thousands of possibilities before. As for Rong Zhen's gift, he even thought about the worst case scenario. Was it Rong Zhen who set a trap to lure him into a trap, turning the surprise into a shock?

But I definitely didn’t expect it to be this kind.

From the time Ouyang Rong woke up in Longcheng and took office until now, except for matters involving personal feelings and family and friends, everything he has done is public service that benefits the people and the country and benefits others.

And now, Rong Zhen, while performing his official duties, benefited "him" once.

It is such a beautiful thing that can be "famous for thousands of years".

It would be a lie to say that I didn't have the feeling of having met a close friend.

But before Ouyang Rong could formulate his words and express his sincere thanks, he heard the lady historian sigh "far and near" afterwards.

On the stage, Rong Zhen smiled for the first time.

Ouyang Rong looked back with a confused expression:

"Ms. Rong's words are interesting. Sometimes they are far away, sometimes they are near. Aren't they the same? However, if you think about it carefully, there is indeed a hint of dialectical meaning. By the way, is Ms. Rong reading any books recently? Is it about Taoism or Buddhism?"

Rong Zhen still looked straight at him.

At this time, Yi Qianqiu, Nanny Song, Duan Quanwu and others who had stayed on the steps tacitly continued to move forward tacitly and came in front of the two people on the stage, temporarily breaking their eye contact.

"Except for General Wei who is in charge of the White Mist Array, are all the others here?"

Rong Zhen turned around, faced them, and asked, then asked Yi Qianqiu:
"Where is Mr. Yu? Has he left the bamboo house?"

"Yeah." Yi Qianqiu nodded and replied, "We are already on the mountain road. The old man has some difficulty walking. It will probably take a while to reach the reserved place on the top of the mountain."

"it is good."

Ouyang Rong, who was standing by, saw Rong Zhen nod her head heavily when she heard what was said. She also looked back at the cliff behind the big Buddha, with her little face facing that direction.

Ouyang Rong followed Rong Zhen's gaze and found that the twin peaks were the highest point of the North Peak.

Yi Qianqiu looked a little hesitant.

Rong Zhen saw it and asked directly:
"what's up?"

Yi Qianqiu frowned slightly:
"Mr. Yu left the house very casually. Before I arrived, he was still cooking in the kitchen. When I went to the bamboo house to invite him out, he came out holding a simple bamboo zither..."

Rong Zhen simply said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yu won't be arrogant. He will do what he promised today. I believe in him."

After comforting her, she then reminded:

"General Yi, please send someone to protect Mr. Yu."

Without waiting for Yi Qianqiu to answer, Nanny Song waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm watching you."

This old woman with white eyes was short, almost as tall as Rong Zhendeng, and skinny. Especially when she stood at the foot of the Buddha, compared with the Donglin Buddha behind her, she looked like a withered bamboo pole in the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain. But what she said was understated:

"It's just a high cliff. I can reach Mr. Yu within ten breaths."

Rong Zhen said seriously: "Then I'll have to trouble Senior Song."

Nanny Song waved her hand.

Ouyang Rong couldn't help but glance at Nanny Song. Perhaps he had seen too much, and she had been keeping a low profile these days by eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures, so he almost forgot that she was a genuine top-grade Qigong practitioner, the deputy director of the Luoyang Astronomical Observatory, and in a sense, the ballast stone placed by the court in the Xunyang Grottoes. Although she had a bad temper besides being loyal to the saint, the fact that she had made it all the way to her current position in the palace had proved that she was indeed qualified to have a bad temper.

Rong Zhen looked around at everyone:
"Okay, Governor Ouyang is here too. Except for Lady Miaozhen and General Li at Shuangfengjian Ferry, everyone who should be here today is here. Let's get started.

"I have some latest news to share with you all, although we have already expected it."

Nanny Song, Yi Qianqiu and others listened attentively.

Rong Zhen told everyone about the pirates and the news Ouyang Rong had just heard from Zhao Qingxiu.

Of course, everyone was there, and she didn't mention Zhao Qingxiu directly, but used the informant to refer to her.

Ouyang Rong glanced at her.

"A three-legged bird?"

Duan Quanwu, who was wearing snow-white armor, looked up at the sky along with everyone else and sneered:
"That Xue Zhongzhu is a top-grade Qi Refiner, so he can just fly over here. If this three-legged bird dares to approach the Buddha at low altitude, I will shoot it down with one arrow. There is no shortage of nine-stone bows in the White Tiger Guards, and we will surely hit the target if we shoot with all our might."

Nanny Song also said coldly:
"Leave the candle in the snow to me."

Rong Zhen nodded gently and gave detailed instructions:
"Okay, the candle in the snow is the key. It has been said in Tiannan Jianghu that wherever the three-legged strange bird appears, there must be a candle in the snow. If the bird appears and she appears, it is likely that they will come together.

“Senior Song, try not to let her get close to the white fog on the river. It would be best to do the same as the last Xingzi Lake incident and place the battlefield in the air or in the nearby mountains and forests to prevent her from making some strange moves or using the aftermath of her magical powers to destroy our white fog formation. In that case, Yunmeng Order will be difficult to defend against.

"Our defense focus this time is the two large formations of the Great Buddha and the White Mist. As long as they rush to the Xunyang Grottoes, we will have the advantage of time and place."

Nanny Song narrowed her eyes and agreed.

"It's not difficult. We fought each other last time and have found out the bottom of it.

“But this golden-haired girl is quite capable. I heard that she entered the upper level of Purple Qi a few years ago. Humph, although she has only practiced for a few years, her fighting prowess is quite strong. The sword cultivators of the Southern Yue Girl Dao School are indeed terrifyingly powerful. I have heard of them in the north before.

"But I am not a pushover. Her sword is indeed very powerful, but cultivating the purple energy is a process that takes time. She is still young and has just entered the upper level. The purple energy in her dantian is not as much as mine."

After a moment's silence, Nanny Song stopped laughing, her face turned a little serious, and she added softly:
"When I fight her, it is destined that she can only take advantage of the killing power of sword cultivators and use this advantage to the fullest in the first few strikes in order to win quickly in the early stage. That is the three-pronged attack method... So, as long as we don't let her snowball after the first strike, it will be fine."

Yi Qianqiu frowned and asked, "Senior Song is still experienced and has a thorough understanding, but we have to be careful that she has Qi-boosting pills or other external help."

Nanny Song sneered:
"Even if there is a Qi-boosting pill, it is useless. I also have one, which is the best quality sent by the palace, called Mo Jiao. The advantage is offset. If she doesn't have it, or can't compare to it, then it will be even more of a loss."

As Nanny Song spoke, she reached into her bosom, pulled out a sandalwood pill box, and weighed it in her hands.

Nanny Song did not open it, but showed it briefly and put it away. Ouyang Rong, who was listening like a little transparent person, had already imagined the green appearance of the pill in his mind after hearing the word "Mo Jiao" and seeing the pill box.

Isn't this the pill he took to kill someone... It tastes a bit bitter, but the effect is really strong. He was so angry at the time.

Ouyang Rong had heard from Boss Li that this pill was one of the best qi-replenishing pills that the Taoist sect could refine at the time, and was suitable for the Dantian of top-grade qi-refining practitioners, unless one was like Ouyang Rong, a sword-wielding Taoist who needed to accumulate energy to perform the Dingjian magic, which could consume a large amount of overflowing spiritual energy and prevent the spiritual energy from bursting the Dantian.

Ouyang Rong silently glanced at the old woman and the elixir twice. His action was not noticeable because Rong Zhen, Yi Qianqiu and Duan Quanwu also cast their eyes over him.

Yi and Duan both looked envious.

The latter asked directly:
"Senior Song, is this pill the tribute from His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei to the palace? I have heard that the Prince of Wei's palace only has three pills in its collection. It seems this is one of them."

"Well, it should be."

Nanny Song faced north, clasped her fists respectfully, and said word by word:
"But these are all the grace of the saints. We will unite and work together to kill the enemy."

"This is natural, God's grace is great."

Everyone nodded, bowed to the north, expressed their gratitude, and swore their allegiance. Ouyang Rong also followed them and clasped his fists.

This is why Ouyang Rong is annoyed with being with Nanny Song. Whether it is wearing Buddhist beads or facing north to kowtow and thank, it is all red tape. Even when facing a powerful enemy or discussing important matters, you have to flatter the master as a routine. This old woman with white eyes loves to be introverted, and everyone has to follow her...

Ouyang Rong withdrew his gaze from Nanny Song's arms, pursed his lips, but saw that Rong was really looking at him.

In front of Yi Qianqiu, Nanny Song and the others, Rong Zhen had a stern face and said in a cold and distant tone:
"Governor Ouyang, you just arrived today, so I'd better tell you about the defense here."

"Okay, Ms. Rong and the others, please tell me. I am not talented enough, but I will see if I can fill in the gaps."

"Okay, you help us with some advice."

Rong Zhen didn't waste any words and directly revealed:
"I have already told you about the White Mist Formation, so I won't go into details about its usefulness."

Ouyang Rong nodded: "Yes, I guessed it, it is to restrain Yunmeng Order."

Rong Zhen did not elaborate on the matter of Blood Bronze, and nodded:

"That's right. With the white fog here, the Yunmeng Order is invalid within the Shuangfeng Peak area. Currently, the Shuangfeng Peak is heavily guarded inside and outside by our troops. Yunmeng Jianze has issued hundreds of Yunmeng Orders to the Tiannan Jianghu, trying to contact Jianghu people to cause trouble.

"Now that the white fog is here, it can restrain the Yunmeng Order. At least when these people come here with the Yunmeng Order, they have to consider whether the order can protect them.

“Besides, you have already issued a ban on Vietnamese women, and issued a warrant to all the prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River to hunt down those who privately possess the Yunmeng Order. Now, the people in the south of the Yangtze River should all know that privately possessing this item is a capital crime, and the entire family will be executed.

"Heh, let's see who dares to risk having their property confiscated and use an invalid Yunmeng Order to attack the imperial court."

Ouyang Rong nodded:
"This is a good move. Divide and conquer. At present, the only ones who dare to attack the Buddha are those pirates. They dare to counterattack Hukou County and seize ships to go south. They should not be afraid of death. The Yunmeng Orders carried by these pirates are considered invalid, which weakens them."

"Not only that, there is also the Peach Blossom Spring painting."

It was Yi Qianqiu who spoke softly and added a sentence.

Ouyang Rong pretended to be puzzled and asked, "The Peach Blossom Spring."

Yi Qianqiu glanced at Rong Zhen's expression, which showed that he did not try to stop her, and said:

"The Peach Blossom Spring map in the hands of Li Zhengyan and other rebels has a connection with the Yunmeng Order, and white fog can also defeat this object."

"I see. So, this item has the same use as the Yunmeng Token?"

Yi Qianqiu put it succinctly: "It's almost right."

Ouyang Rong took a closer look at this extraordinary woman from the Yuan family, then looked around the field and asked:

"Is this white mist formation all right? I hope nothing will go wrong."

This time it was Nanny Song who spoke up, her tone somewhat proud:

"This is a large formation jointly set up by the Imperial Observatory and the Xuanwu Guards. We invited the two most experienced Yin-Yang masters in the Imperial Observatory. The center of the formation where General Wei and his men are now is very secret. No one knows except Rong Yatou and me."

Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows slightly and continued calmly:

"Okay, now that we have this white mist formation, Yunmeng Ling and Peach Blossom Spring Map have a way to deal with it.

"Deputy Supervisor Song will deal with Xue Zhongzhu's words.

"As for the pirates from Hukou County, I and Ms. Rong have arranged for General Li, Ms. Miaozhen and others to lead the soldiers to ambush and be on guard at the ferry on the other side. We can also counter them as they come, so there is no rush for now..."

Ouyang Rong stroked his chin thoughtfully and said:
"Besides these, what about the other Yue women in Yunmeng Jianze, such as the second daughter, Yu Nianyuan, or... or the Yue virgin, and what about the other masters in Tiannan Jianghu?

"Well, although Shuangfeng Peak is heavily guarded now, we have a large number of people and the whole city is under martial law, some cats and dogs can't get close to us and can't use numbers to attack our formation. The Yunmeng Order that we had been vigilant about has also become ineffective. Now there should be very few people in the martial arts world who dare to risk their lives to come here. At most, there are some masters who can break through the siege outside and follow Yu Nianyuan and other Yue women. There should be very few...

"We must be on guard against those fish that slip through the net. If we accidentally let them get close to our Buddha, there will be risks."

Yi Qianqiu covered his face with white armor and took a step forward:
"Leave these scraps to me. We cannot let General Wei's Black Tortoise Guards steal the limelight today. I will lead a thousand White Tiger Guards to protect the main cave."

She raised her long face, looked defiant, and said in a low and hoarse voice:

"The Black Tortoise Guards have a water formation to set up, and our White Tiger Guards are not much behind. This general loves to hunt the so-called mountain people, haha."

Ouyang Rong carefully watched Yi Qianqiu, who was rubbing his hands in preparation for the fight. After a while, Rong Zhen, who was standing beside him, asked softly:
"What else can Governor Ouyang do to make up for the loss?"

Ouyang Rong looked away and pondered for a moment:
"What if there are more than one top-grade Qi-refining master in the Tiannan Jianghu?"

Rong Zhen nodded calmly:

"Yes, that's why the court has retained Senior Yu until today to sit in charge of the Great Buddha."

Ouyang Rong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stood there in silence. After a while, he nodded and sighed:
"I see. You guys put a lot of thought into this arrangement. I have no problem with it."

Rong Zhen suddenly spoke:
"Ouyang Lianghan, there is one more link that you didn't ask."

Ouyang Rong followed her words and asked casually, "Which link?"

The girl in the dazzling purple palace dress spoke every word with power and force:

"Ouyang Lianghan, the owner of Butterfly Love Flower, how do you know he won't come?"
