Xiao Rong realized that he was frightened by Qu Yunmie. He couldn't help but think that Qu Yunmie must be very suitable for playing the game of statues. ...
After a pause, Xiao Rong put away these rebellious thoughts, raised his arms, folded his hands together, level with his forehead, and bowed deeply.
This was a great honor for a scholar, and Xiao Rong had only done this a few times in all the time he had been here.
He spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Xiao Rong greets the king."
Generally speaking, people who are good-looking also have nice voices, but this is not discussed in very rare cases.
Xiao Rong's voice was like a clear spring in the green mountains, fresh and refreshing, which easily made people like him.
But the premise is that Qu Yunmie has never heard how he scolded himself with this pleasant voice. …
Qu Yunmie watched Xiao Rong bow quietly. He stood up and sneered, "How is it, sir, are you sober now?"
Xiao Rong also straightened up and nodded: "Thank you for your concern, my king. I am fully awake now."
Qu Yunmie: "Then according to your opinion, what crime should be committed?"
Xiao Rong lowered his eyes, as if he was really thinking for a while, and then said: "If you lose your manners in front of the king, you should be punished; if you are rude in front of the king, you should be rewarded. If both rewards and punishments are equal, then there will be no reward or punishment."
He was speaking very plainly yesterday, but today he is acting like other scholars. It shows that he is very hypocritical.
Qu Yunmie was so angry that he laughed: "Sir, you are so kind that you didn't ask for any reward from me. But sir, do you know that I am not the kind of wise leader who will accept my teachings with an open mind? Those who point out my mistakes to my face will not receive any reward, but only punishment."
Qu Yunmie stared at Xiao Rong's face viciously, wanting to see how scared he was. However, Xiao Rong remained silent, thinking, "Good fellow, you actually know some historical allusions. It seems that you are not so uneducated." ...
"Your Majesty is a man of few words. If you wanted to punish me, you should have done it yesterday. Why should you let me sleep peacefully for a night? Besides, those dirty words yesterday were not said by me. They were the opinions of the people of Nanyong about Your Majesty."
Xiao Rong lied without blinking an eye, and continued: "I followed the king's footsteps all the way north from Xin'an. I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. Nanyong did not distinguish between right and wrong, and made many assumptions. The officials had bad intentions, and the people were confused. The king was worse than the people."
Qu Yunmie looked at Xiao Rong gloomily: "I have never seen what you said, but I saw clearly what you said yesterday."
Xiao Rong smiled: "Yes, I did say such arrogant words. Then can the king clear my doubts for me? If I am really the same as the people of Nanyong, why would I have to travel thousands of miles, regardless of my health and even expose my own abilities, to come to the king's side?" Qu Yunmie frowned. Shit?
It's no wonder, after he mentioned that, Qu Yunmie realized that Xiao Rong didn't look well today. He looked sick and it was obvious that he was going to die young.
Qu Yunmie was just looking at him, but Xiao Rong assumed that he couldn't answer and quickly took the initiative.
"Your Majesty, you don't know the answer because there is no answer to this question. Without an answer, there is no question. Xiao Rong knows that he doesn't have much time left. He cannot achieve his ambitions alone. Looking at the world, the only person who is respected by Xiao Rong and has the ability to help me is your Majesty. If your Majesty helps me, I will repay your Majesty with my death. Even a rock can turn if it is pushed by someone, but my loyalty to your Majesty will never change in this life."
When he said the last sentence, Xiao Rong raised his head and looked at Qu Yunmie with a sharp gaze.
Qu Yunmie usually hung out with rough guys, and had never seen anyone like Xiao Rong who could appeal to people's emotions and reason. Moreover, he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he actually saw the persistence and obstinacy of having to be the king in Xiao Rong's eyes.
But Qu Yunmie still refused to give in.
