Chapter 0076 Lecher

Xiao Rong watched Qu Yunmie drink up the entire jar of wine. Even if the wine was not intoxicating, if consumed in large quantities, it would still make people feel a little dizzy.

When Qu Yunmie went to get the second jar of wine, Xiao Rong took the opportunity to ask him: "My king, I have an unreasonable request."

Qu Yunmie paused while holding the jar.

You see, he knew that no matter when Xiao Rong came to see him, official business was official business, and private matters could also become official business.

After a moment of silence, Qu Yunmie nodded calmly, "Go ahead."

Xiao Rong: "Although we have made all the necessary preparations for this expedition, the enemy is so treacherous and changeable, and the situation on the battlefield is so unpredictable. I cannot fight alongside the king and kill the enemy, but I am still concerned about the safety of the king and the soldiers, so..."

He paused for a moment, then asked Qu Yunmie cautiously, "I wonder if you can ask General Jian to send military reports back to Chenliu every day, set up temporary post stations along the way, and select good horses and good generals. The delay will not exceed three days. In this way, no matter what happens over there, Chenliu can respond quickly. What do you think?"

Qu Yunmie reacted silently for a second: "Every day?" Xiao Rong nodded.

Qu Yunmie: "How can there be so many military reports written for you to read?"

Xiao Rong: “…”

You have a hamster brain, can you really only take things at face value?

After a moment of silence, Xiao Rong sighed: "If there is a military report, I will read it; if there is no military report, I will read Ping An."

Qu Yunmie looked slightly stunned.

He had participated in countless battles, big and small, in his life, but he had never reported his safety to others, and no one would ask him to do so.

Xiao Rong had been waiting for Qu Yunmie's answer. After a while, Qu Yunmie finally came out of the feeling of not being able to adapt but feeling that he could adapt. He waved his hand and said generously, "Okay, but you don't have to trouble Jian Qiao. I can write it!"

Xiao Rong: “…………”

A smile appeared on his face because Qu Yunmie agreed, but the next second the corners of his mouth froze in this arc.

What's the use of what you write? You can't tell what the people below are thinking!

However, he couldn't say it so bluntly. Although Xiao Rong always quarreled with Qu Yunmie, it was always directed at themselves and some people outside the Zhenbei Army. They had never had any disagreements within the Zhenbei Army.

Who knows what Qu Yunmie's attitude would be if he knew that Xiao Rong even suspected his own subordinates? What if he thought that Xiao Rong was looking for trouble?

After a strange silence, Xiao Rong smiled again, "Of course, this is good, but the king is always unable to take care of things, and the purpose of sending military reports is to confirm the king's safety. One more guarantee will not delay anything. How about this, the king writes one letter and General Jian writes one. These two letters are one open letter and one secret letter. If one day I only receive the open letter but not the secret letter, then I will know that something happened to the king."

Qu Yunmie: “…”

He looked at Xiao Rong suspiciously: "Why do you seem so sure that something will happen to me?"

Then he paused, his expression showing more doubt than ever: "One bright and one dark, are you on guard against someone in the army?"

Xiao Rong: “…”

Awesome, hamsters have evolved.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Rong answered him concisely: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst."

Qu Yunmie was indeed uncomfortable with Xiao Rong's suspicion of his subordinates, but he also remembered that Li Xiuheng and Zhuang Weizi had kidnapped Xiao Rong before, and he could not blame Xiao Rong for thinking this way.

Pursing the corners of his lips, Qu Yunmie finally agreed to Xiao Rong's request. Once his goal was achieved, Xiao Rong immediately stood up happily, said a few words to praise Qu Yunmie for his magnanimity, and then he left.

Qu Yunmie watched him go out. After a while, he looked at the two wine jars on the table.

One jar is empty, and the other has just been opened. I haven't finished drinking it yet.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the marketing of the Thousand-Arts Anthology, which had been vigorously marketed for a month and a half, finally officially started.

As early as ten days ago, idle literati came here to join in the fun. Although the date was set very clearly, the gentry liked to act reserved and make a grand entrance.

They deliberately did not show up on the first day, but came late on the second or third day. If they met their acquaintances, they would bow and say nonchalantly that they did not want to come at all, but they had nothing to do and so many friends came, so they came to see it reluctantly. As for the ten thousand gold, haha, after reading, they knew that money was like dirt, and they did not care about those soulless yellow and white things.

He just wanted to make friends.

There are quite a few people who have this mentality. When they enter Baibao Street and come to the central square that has been decorated long ago, and then see the pile of gold in the middle of the square that is three people high, even the most reserved people will pop their eyes out.

There is an allusion called "A child carrying gold walking in a busy city", which means that if a child walks outside with gold, he will definitely attract robbers and disasters. After continuous development, this allusion has changed from advising people not to show off their wealth to a more implicit request for you to keep a low profile. ...

No matter what, the truth is that a piece of gold can make people want to kill. There are 10,000 pieces of gold here. Not to mention humans, even gods and ghosts would probably be unable to move if they passed by here.

But no one dared to take action, because outside Jinshan, the Zhenbei Army was surrounded by three layers of soldiers wearing heavy armor. Each of them held a knife, and the cold light on the blade and the golden light behind them dazzled everyone's eyes.

On the east side of the Central Square is the theater opened by Xiao Rong. The theater has two and a half floors with an open space in the middle. The bottom floor is where VIPs watch and actors perform, and the upper floor is where ordinary tea is served. As for the third floor, half of it is temporarily used to store sundries, and the other half is an excellent viewing spot for the Central Square. Only Xiao Rong can go up there.

At this time, Xiao Rong and Yu Shaoxie were sitting here, looking at this group of stunned scholars with a smile.
