What kind of hospitality is this? It would be strange if he still remembered it at this time. He directly questioned Huang Yanjiong: "You traveled day and night to come to Chenliu just to seek death!" Xiao Rong: "."

Isn't this my line?

However, Huang Yanjiong changed his tone at this time. He smiled and said, "It was just a joke, King Zhenbei, don't take it seriously. I came all the way here naturally because of what King Zhenbei said about discussing important matters, and also because I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you a little. When we were together in Jinling, you and I didn't get along very well. Fortunately, the king was generous and didn't care about these things with me. But I feel unworthy of it, so I came to Chenliu specially to present a sword to the king to express my apology."

After saying that, he bowed to Qu Yunmie and then gave a look to the person behind him.

The man holding the blue silk cloth frowned. Perhaps it was his biological instinct that made him feel something was wrong, because Huang Yanjiong was not usually such a provocative person. But he was similar to Xiao Rong. He could not guess what Huang Yanjiong was trying to do, nor did he realize how big a hole Huang Yanjiong had dug for him.

He walked over as he was told, half-knelt on the ground, and then held up the gift with both hands.

Qu Yunmie glanced at Huang Yanjiong, then lifted up the blue silk cloth.

It was indeed a good sword, and the scabbard was very well made. He would never have too many good weapons. Picking up the sword, Qu Yunmie played with it and looked at it.

Xiao Rong was also watching from the side, but didn't notice anything wrong. When Qu Yunmie had seen enough, he grasped the hilt of the sword and was about to pull it out.

Huang Yanjiong's eyes flashed and he held his breath.

Xiao Rong had been staring at him out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw this, he immediately realized that something was wrong. However, before he could open his mouth, Qu Yunmie had already pulled out the sword. As soon as he pulled it out part way, he felt something was wrong and his face changed. He pulled out the sword completely, but was shocked to see that the sword was broken.

This brings up an old story. When Qu Yunmie was in the Jinling Palace, he was appointed by the officials to dance with swords because he was young, promising and handsome. Huang Yanjiong did not want to see him in the limelight, so he broke his sword when he was not paying attention. Qu Yunmie did not know about this, so he pulled out a broken sword after going up. The officials who hosted the banquet scolded him loudly and punished him, but the others not only did not help him, they even laughed at him, and did not hide their ridicule at all.

This was definitely one of the most humiliating experiences in Qu Yunmie's life, the kind that would make him explode if it were mentioned.

And the culprit Huang Yanjiong actually sent a broken sword up at this time, which was simply like stepping on Qu Yunmie's face back and forth on the ground.

When Qu Yunmie saw the broken sword, his face was extremely ugly. Xiao Rong didn't know what he had experienced in the past, but he also realized reflexively that things were not going well. He stood up and shouted in surprise: "My King!"

Qu Yunmie clenched the sword tightly in anger. The humiliation he suffered that year came back to his mind. In fact, he had not yet figured out what to do. When he heard the call, he turned back reflexively.

Seeing Xiao Rong's worried and nervous expression, Qu Yunmie was stunned, and his hands, which had been bulging with veins, just relaxed.

The scholar behind Huang Yanjiong was smiling with ease, but when he noticed this detail, the smile on his face froze. This is bad.

The next second, Qu Yunmie no longer looked at Xiao Rong, but threw the scabbard in his hand out first, and his throw was very accurate, hitting Huang Yanjiong's knee. He couldn't stand at all and knelt down in pain.

"What do you mean!"

"You sent me a broken sword, do you want me to cut off your head?"

Huang Yanjiong was in so much pain that cold sweat was about to fall from his head. What he expected did not happen. Huang Yanjiong thought to himself that it was not good, and quickly put on a shocked expression: "How, how could it be broken, Your Majesty, calm down, no matter how stupid I am, I would never do such a thing! What's the difference between this and actively seeking death!"

Qu Yunmie was extremely angry, but what Huang Yanjiong said made sense. Now he was the one who held the power of life and death. Huang Yanjiong came to his territory and he could kill him however he wanted.

But he would not kill Huang Yanjiong. He owed Huang Yanqin a favor. Unless Huang Yanjiong wanted to kill him, he would never do anything to Huang Yanjiong.

Huang Yanjiong was sweating coldly, and he was still talking: "I checked it before leaving, and it was clearly a complete sword. I don't know why it happened-"

Having said this he paused, then looked at the man who had delivered the sword. The man was kneeling with a pale face, and it was obvious that he also knew that this matter seemed to be related to him.

Xiao Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he knew what was going on. He pursed his lips, walked behind Qu Yunmie, and whispered to him, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Since there's something wrong with Governor Huang's gift, just ask him to present another one tomorrow."

At this point, he looked at Huang Yanjiong on the ground: "Huang Taishou is sincerely offering a gift, right?"

Huang Yanjiong: “…”

He quickly replied: "Of course I really mean it!"

Xiao Rong smiled, "I also believe that Huang Taishou is sincere, but this gift has such a flaw. Huang Taishou is really too careless. Giving away a broken sword is not a good intention. If this matter gets out, others will think that Huang Taishou has bad intentions."

Huang Yanjiong: “…………”

He was now in a state of bitterness, unable to speak out his pain. The plan had failed and he had to bear such a huge blame. Huang Yanjiong had no way to defend himself and could only bow his head and say yes.

Xiao Rong sneered in his heart. It turned out that the provocation at the beginning was all fake, just to provoke Qu Yunmie's anger.

He sighed, "Forget it, my king, let's stop here today. Tomorrow morning, we will discuss this gift and the attack on the Xianbei together with Governor Huang."

Huang Yanjiong was disappointed. This was what it meant to lose more than you gain. Not only did his plan fail, but now he had to let others control him!

Huang Yanjiong wanted to go back and ran away immediately.

Xiao Rong was trying to persuade Qu Yunmie, but Qu Yunmie just stared at Huang Yanjiong without saying a word. His narrow eyes were like poisoned knives piercing into Huang Yanjiong, making him dare not even breathe.

After looking at him gloomily for a long time, Qu Yunmie suddenly raised his hand and threw the broken sword in his other hand towards Huang Yanjiong. The broken sword happened to hit the edge of Huang Yanjiong's robe, nailing his clothes to the ground.

Huang Yanjiong's mind went blank as he looked at the broken sword that swayed three times after it hit the ground.

At such a close distance, if Qu Yunmie wanted to kill him, he could just stab him in the head.

After doing this, Qu Yunmie turned away. Xiao Rong quickly asked the guards to arrange accommodation for these people, and then he chased after Qu Yunmie and left.
