Your Majesty, You Mustn’t!

In the end

Xiao Rong traveled back in time and became the advisor to a warlord during an era of contending heroes.

This warlord was stubborn, refused advice, was overly sensitive and su...

Chapter 0035 Letting Go (2 / 3)

Qu Yunmie laughed happily: "Okay, I'll find a reason to kill him tomorrow."

Xiao Rong: “…………” He wanted to bang his head against the wall.

Rubbing his brows, Xiao Rong said helplessly, "Your Majesty, you won't want to do it yourself again, right? There are some things that Your Majesty should do personally, but there are some things that should be handed over to others. It is better to let others complete them. Although this person is just Huang Yanjiong's staff, it is better not to get involved in this dirty water. There is no need to find any excuses. After they leave the city, just find a few smart people to disguise as bandits. In this way, others will not be able to link his death with Your Majesty."

Qu Yunmie frowned: "Why make such a simple matter so troublesome?"

Xiao Rong felt confused and did not answer his question for a while. He was still wondering whether he should kill Zhou Liang or not. This man was really bad. Now that his plan was ruined by Qu Yunmie, he and Huang Yanjiong would probably have a rift. Keeping him would probably leave a hidden danger.

But he couldn't just arbitrarily kill someone just because of something that hadn't happened yet. Wouldn't that be tantamount to killing innocent people?

Xiao Rong knew that since he boarded Qu Yunmie's broken ship, he would have to face these problems sooner or later. However, when he really faced them, he found that it was really difficult to make a decision.

A decision determines the life and death of others, as well as one's own conscience.

These thoughts flashed through Xiao Rong's mind in an instant. He came to his senses, raised his head and looked at Qu Yunmie. He only said one word: "I——"

Before he could finish the rest of his words, Qu Yunmie was already staring at him with a look of deep hatred, and turned his head away impatiently: "I know, I know, I'll do as you say, and wait until they leave the city before taking action."

Really, didn’t he just say it was a trouble? Was it necessary to look so serious?

Xiao Rong was slightly stunned. Although he didn't know why Qu Yunmie suddenly agreed, it was okay. After all, Huang Yanjiong and others would stay in the city for several days. He could observe Zhou Liang carefully and then decide what to do.

Xiao Rong was struggling over whether or not to kill Zhou Liang because of Qu Yunmie. He thought that Zhou Liang's target of vengeance was Qu Yunmie. However, what he didn't know was that Zhou Liang's target of vengeance was him.

Zhou Liang clearly saw that it was Xiao Rong who spoke out to stop him, and then Qu Yunmie suddenly calmed down. Later, Xiao Rong turned the situation around with just one word, turning the original conspiracy against Qu Yunmie into an opportunity for Qu Yunmie to take advantage.

If it weren't for Xiao Rong, Qu Yunmie, the conceited warrior, would never have thought of this. He would have just thrown Huang Yanjiong out in a rage, and might even have driven them out of the city without even discussing the subsequent attack on the Xianbei.

Therefore, Zhou Liang felt that his plan was truly foolproof. If it succeeded, Qu Yunmie would be doomed, and if it failed, it would at least save Huang Yanjiong the trouble of sending troops. In any case, it would be good for them.

It was such a good plan, but Xiao Rong showed up unexpectedly. How complacent he was before, how much more embarrassed he is now.

He lowered his head to digest these humiliating and angry emotions, while opposite him, Huang Yanjiong was venting his anger at him like an out-of-control gorilla.

Zhou Liang came to Huang Yanjiong about three years ago. After three years, he became Huang Yanjiong's most trusted aide. Zhou Liang has always been proud of his control over people's hearts. He has long known what kind of person Huang Yanjiong is, and he thinks that Huang Yanjiong is very good like this. Those who achieve great things must have a cruel heart.

It can be seen from the fact that he proposed to Huang Yanjiong to sacrifice Huang Keji that they are birds of a feather, so Huang Yanjiong is quite real in front of him, and he doesn't need to pretend to be righteous and magnanimous. He can say whatever he wants to say.

Huang Yanjiong was a scum to begin with, and now he was so angry that he said whatever he wanted. Although Zhou Liang was not a good person either, he still frowned when he heard what Huang Yanjiong said.

The plan failed. He really has to attend a Hongmen Banquet tomorrow. What if Qu Yunmie changes his mind after a good sleep and decides to kill him?

Huang Yanjiong was angry, scared, and a little guilty, which made him seem more and more cowardly, and he had to use rage to cover up his emotions.

After Huang Yanjiong had vented his anger and calmed down a little, the first thing he wanted to do was to run away immediately.

Zhou Liang then raised his head to stop him: "No! Leaving without saying goodbye at this time is equivalent to breaking up with the King of Zhenbei. The King of Zhenbei is still furious. If he chases you out in person, even if he doesn't want to take your life, he won't care when he's furious. Do you have the confidence to escape the King of Zhenbei's pursuit?"

Huang Yanjiong: “…………”No.

Qu Yunmie had three main characteristics: one was that he hated the Xianbei people, two was that he loved killing people, and three was that he ran very fast.

Chasing enemies over thousands of miles is his specialty. Not only is he energetic, but his horse is also energetic. Anyone he targets will eventually die under his spear.

The reason why Li Xiuheng was able to survive for ten years was that Qu Yunmie had never seen any trace of him. What they were playing was not a chase, but hide-and-seek. The former was Qu Yunmie's forte, but the latter was not.

However, even though he was hesitant, Huang Yanjiong still didn't dare to stay. Seeing this, Zhou Liang advised him: "The governor, remember what the man named Xiao Rong said. The King of Zhenbei will discuss two things with you tomorrow. One is the compensation for the gifts, and the other is the attack on the Xianbei. They still have something to ask of you, so they won't attack you. So you can rest assured that the King of Zhenbei won't do anything to you."

Huang Yanjiong was relieved when he heard this. He felt visibly relieved and slowly sat down. However, halfway through, he stood up again: "In this case, I have no choice but to send troops!"

This was indeed true, and even Zhou Liang could not change it, so he nodded heavily: "Fortunately, this is what the people want. If the governor sends troops, the whole world will be grateful to you."

Huang Yanjiong: “…………”

I don’t care about that little bit of fame!

His initial request was that he did not want to send troops, did not want to expose his own strength, and even more did not want to transport his troops to Shengle City. How much time would be wasted going back and forth? The current situation is changing rapidly. A change of dynasty can happen in a year, and it would take at least half a year for him to lead his troops to attack the Xianbei!

He is not Qu Yunmie, whose hometown is relatively close to Shengle. His territory is in Ningzhou, the southernmost part of the country, which is 4,500 miles away from Shengle. When Qu Yunmie finishes the battle and returns to Chenliu to enjoy himself, he will still have to run to Jianning. ...

Huang Yanjiong became extremely angry when he thought of such a scene, and when he became angry, he remembered that it was Zhou Liang who came up with the idea, and he became even more displeased with him.

If Zhou Liang hadn't come up with this plan, he would have pretended to be sick in Jianning a long time ago. If he didn't want to go, it would be okay for him to pretend to be sick, right?

Zhou Liang listened to his complaints, looking docile on the surface, but he was actually sneering in his heart.
