Gao Xunzhi stroked his beard and nodded: "Indeed."
The genealogy of the family is always changing. The last time it changed was sixty-five years ago, when the Yong Dynasty was just established.
The founding emperor of the Yong Dynasty made his own family the first class, and then conferred titles on three people who had served the emperor as the second class, while those who were originally ranked first were directly relegated to the second class. …
In other words, the Xiao family actually has a lot of heritage, and their ancestors produced many great figures. Although Gao Xunzhi is a scholar, he is not from an aristocratic family. He is a complete poor man. Otherwise, he would not have ended up in Yanmen Pass and become involved with the Zhenbei Army.
The military force was constantly expanding, but talented people were scarce. Before Xiao Rong came, the only capable aide under the King of Zhenbei was a scholar named Yu. That person's background was not as good as Xiao Rong's, and he was not trusted by the king.
Gao Xunzhi couldn't help but clench his fist in joy.
Well, now that Xiao Rong is here, this awkward situation has been broken, and they won’t have to endure the contempt of the southerners anymore.
Gao Xunzhi was about to find Qu Yunmie and tell him the good news, but his personal soldiers stopped him when they saw this, and then told him that Xiao Rong had taken those six pieces.
Gao Xunzhi: “…………”
Who taught you to announce good news before bad news?
Gao Xunzhi was happy for a short while before he became worried again. He thought all night about how to make Qu Yunmie accept Xiao Rong, but he didn't have any good ideas and ended up following Jian Qiao's old path.
First report the good news, then the bad news. …
He did not mention the six things on Xiao Rong's body, but went to the main tent and told him that Xiao Rong was the hero of this great victory.
Shortly after dawn, Qu Yunmie would exercise his muscles every morning, swinging his long knife to chop two wooden stakes into pieces before doing other things. Gao Xunzhi was used to it, and he would chop the stakes without interrupting Gao Xunzhi from talking about his own things.
After he finished speaking, Qu Yunmie chopped forward fiercely, and the wooden stake, which was already scarred, cracked immediately.
Then, he stood up straight, with the tip of his long sword touching the ground. He turned around. On the same spring day, Xiao Rong had to sit around the stove and boil tea to feel warm, while Qu Yunmie was only wearing a single layer of clothes with his chest slightly open. Sweat flowed down from his neck, across his honey-colored chest, and was finally absorbed by his clothes.
Although Gao Xunzhi watched him grow up, even he habitually wanted to avoid Qu Yunmie in front of him.
He stood silently, about ten feet away from Qu Yunmie.
Qu Yunmie took a breath, then sneered slowly: "Sir, do you think so?"
Gao Xunzhi was stunned: "Your Majesty, do you think there is something wrong?"
Qu Yunmie: "If you can tell the world's major events by divination, then why didn't the world belong to Xiao Rong? In my opinion, he might be involved in it. This might be a series of schemes. Maybe he changed his mind at the last minute and became a traitor to the traitor. If he didn't change his mind, then our Zhenbei Army would be like a turtle in a jar or a bird in a cage, unable to fly. Do you want to use such a two-faced person, sir?"
Gao Xunzhi: “…………”
It's because you wrongly accuse a good person without any evidence that we don't have any useful intellectuals here!
Who would think this way? Thirty thousand Xianbei people died, countless were injured, and it was unknown how many people would die in Yizhou. Xiao Rong was a nobody, how could he plan such a big thing alone? Moreover, were the Xianbei people stupid? They sacrificed their lives one after another just to let a Central Plains person get into the Zhenbei Army? !
But Qu Yunmie is like this. No matter how suspicious he is of someone he doesn't trust, it is never too much.
Gao Xunzhi was silent for a while before he said, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense, but this is just your guess. If Xiao Rong really has this ability and is friendly to our army, if we drive him away hastily, he will be used by others in the future. Wouldn't that be a loss? In my opinion, it is better to keep him and observe him. If there is any problem, it will not be too late to capture him then."
Qu Yunmie glanced at him and agreed with the plan: "Okay."
Gao Xun was delighted, and then he heard Qu Yunmie ask: "Where is Xiao Rong now?"
Gao Xunzhi didn't understand why he asked this, but he answered anyway: "General Jian went to pick him up. He should be taken back to Yanmen County and settled near the royal palace."
Qu Yunmie: "Okay, I'll leave all the affairs here to you, sir. I'll go back and see what's so special about this man. If he's a liar—"
Qu Yunmie waved his hand, and the guard next to him brought the horse over. Qu Yunmie jumped onto the horse swiftly, and then smiled calmly at Gao Xunzhi below.
"Then I will bring his head back with me as a snack for you, sir."
Gao Xunzhi: “…………”
In the blink of an eye, Qu Yunmie had ridden away. Gao Xunzhi stared at him blankly as he went farther and farther away, and finally could only close his eyes in despair.
Now we can only hope that it will be dark when the king arrives.
The light is dim and I can't see clearly. This way, I can at least remove two...right...
The author has something to say:
This was the only time in Qu Yunmie's life that he was tough on Xiao Rong. I'll commemorate this moment, because you won't see it again.
