Chapter 0036 Letter

Xiao Rong listened for a long time before he understood why they were looking for him.

It’s still Huang Keji’s problem.

Xiao Rong felt a little amused and a little emotional. As expected, everything in the world is complicated. Although the development of the scholar class caused the continuous decline of other classes, it was precisely because there was such a group of scholars who insisted on inheriting good qualities and fighting for these qualities that they indirectly curbed the words and deeds of the rulers, forcing them to pretend to be kind. ...

Xiao Rong originally did not think too much about Huang Keji. His original plan was to warn Huang Yanjiong and get in touch with Huang Keji to plant a seed in his heart, encouraging him and Huang Yanjiong to fight each other in the future. Huang Keji would get the support of the Zhenbei Army, and if he could really split up with Huang Yanjiong in the future, Xiao Rong would let Qu Yunmie give him countless benefits, firstly to repay his kindness, and secondly to let others see what they could get if they defected to the King of Zhenbei.

There weren't many people in Qu Yunmie's family, and the land of Central Plains was so vast. Although the vassal states could no longer appear, it was still necessary to confer titles on the kings. Xiao Rong felt that with Huang Keji's identity, he could be a powerless and idle king of a different surname, and enjoy wealth and glory all his life.

Now that he has been crowned king, no one can say that Qu Yunmie is not grateful enough.

Xiao Rong felt that there was nothing wrong with this plan, but after listening to the concerns of Yu Shaoxie and Gao Xunzhi, he remembered that Huang Keji was only a 16-year-old boy. The premise of Xiao Rong's plan was that Huang Keji could fight his way out of Jianning. His character and means must be strong enough to compete with Huang Yanjiong, and then he could get the reward from Xiao Rong. ...It seemed a bit unreasonable.

Xiao Rong felt guilty for a moment, and attributed the reason to his being too tired last night, which led to his immature idea. Rubbing his slightly numb face, Xiao Rong nodded casually in the expectant eyes of the two people opposite him, and then prepared to get up.

After he had packed everything, he went to find Qu Yunmie. When Qu Yunmie heard that he had finally woken up, he also ordered the guards to notify Huang Yanjiong and the others.

It turned out that Huang Yanjiong came to visit early in the morning, but because Xiao Rong was sleeping the whole time, he was the one who negotiated with Huang Yanjiong. Qu Yunmie didn't even hear clearly what Xiao Rong called him for, so naturally he couldn't receive them alone.

After listening to Qu Yunmie's reasons for ignoring Huang Yanjiong for a full hour and a half, Xiao Rong felt completely numb.

This is the price of staying by Qu Yunmie's side. Not only do you have to watch him offend people, but you also have to watch him offend people on your behalf. ...

But things had come to this point, and there was nothing Xiao Rong could do to remedy the situation, so he just left it at that. He sat below Qu Yunmie, waiting for Huang Yanjiong to come in.

Yesterday three people came in together, but today only two are left, and Huang Keji did not come.

Today, Huang Yanjiong has changed his attitude, becoming humble and kind, and there is no trace of the provocative look he showed yesterday.

He had a good attitude, but Xiao Rong's attitude was even better. He took the initiative to stand up and bowed to Huang Yanjiong: "Did Prefect Huang sleep well?"

Huang Yanjiong smiled: "Very good, very good, I had no dreams all night until dawn."

Xiao Rong also smiled, and he looked even better when he smiled: "I really envy Governor Huang. I also wanted to have a good sleep, but I had a nightmare in the middle of the night. I dreamed that a broken sword was stuck on the gate of Chenliu City. This is a very bad omen."

Huang Yanjiong: “…………”

Xiao Rong looked a little heavy when he said this, but after he finished speaking, he changed his tone and laughed again: "But I think this is just a dream at night, and it is not a sign. What do you think, Huang Taishou?"

His expression changed so quickly that Huang Yanjiong couldn't keep up and could only smile at him stiffly.

Xiao Rong sat down and said slowly, "There are several omens for this broken sword. One is that there will be a bloody disaster, the second is that there will be a villain, and the third is that the things you are trying to do will fail. So I said that this is not a big omen, because the king is so brave and no one can hurt the king, let alone villains, even demons and monsters can't hurt the king. As for the third omen, it is even more impossible. The king's current goal is to attack the Xianbei. Now that Huang Taishou has come to Chenliu in person, he must work with the king to defeat the Xianbei. How can he fail?"

The smile on Huang Yanjiong's face became more and more stiff. In the end, he was asked to send troops. Never mind. He had already accepted it anyway. At worst, he would just pretend to be sick after returning.

Huang Yanjiong gritted his teeth and bowed to Qu Yunmie above him: "I am an incompetent official, but I am willing to lead 5,000 Jianning soldiers and follow the king to attack the Xianbei."

Xiao Rong: “…”

Is five thousand dollars to give to beggars?
