He hated scholars who were weak and sickly but still wanted to show off their strength and go against him.
After saying that, Qu Yunmie left. Zhuang Weizi did not follow him, but looked in the direction of Xiao Rong's residence thoughtfully.
It seems that the king really doesn't care about this person named Xiao Rong. That's great. …………
After a day and a night, Xiao Rong's high fever did not subside but instead worsened. Ah Shu was so worried that his hair was falling out. Gao Xunzhi was also worried, but the doctor could not explain the reason.
Although Xiao Rong seemed calm, he was actually more anxious than anyone else while lying in bed.
Who is it!!! Who wants to harm me!!!
Wu Neng was furious for a long time, which exhausted all his energy. Gao Xunzhi finished his work, came over to check on him, and found that he was asleep. He told Ah Shu to take good care of him, and he went back to sleep too.
After all, Gao Xunzhi was over fifty years old, and in this era he could be called Old Man Gao. It was good enough for him to stay up all night with Xiao Rong. If he stayed up for another night, he might die before Xiao Rong recovered. …
At night, Ashu was watching over Xiao Rong. He didn't doze off, but wiped Xiao Rong from time to time with a handkerchief. It wasn't too late now, it was just the first watch. If it was in Pingyang, there would still be people hurrying on the street at this time.
But Yanmen County was a city under militaristic management. As soon as it got dark, the curfew began at 3:30 in the evening, one hour earlier than other places.
At the first watch, most people had gone to bed, including the palace, so it was very quiet outside.
Ah Shu sat silently, looking at Xiao Rong, his heart full of melancholy.
If even the master is gone, how can the old lady live...
If Xiao Rong knew that Ashu was thinking about what would happen after his death every day, he would probably wake up in anger.
Just when everything was quiet, the door outside was suddenly pushed open. Ashu was startled, turned around, and saw a man in armor walking in.
Ah Shu had lived in the palace for some time after all, and recognized that this man was the commander of the guards of the King of Zhenbei. He quickly saluted. Zhuang Weizhi came over, first looked at Xiao Rong on the bed, and then asked Ah Shu: "Are you alone?"
Ashu nodded: "The master doesn't like too many people serving him."
Zhuang Weizhi smiled and said, "What a gentleman with a benevolent character."
Ah Shu looked up and looked at him in confusion. He always felt that there was something wrong with what he said. He was about to ask, but saw Zhuang Weizi's face suddenly changed. He suddenly raised his hand and chopped down on the back of his neck. The cry for help in Ah Shu's throat was blocked, and he fell to the ground. Then, Zhuang Weizi stepped over Ah Shu's body and hit Xiao Rong who was sleeping on the bed.
After making sure that he would not wake up, Zhuang Weizi dragged Ashu aside, covered him with a wooden box, then turned around and strode out the door.
He told the guards who came with him that Xiao Rong was very ill and the king had ordered that he be carried out immediately and sent out of the palace to see a doctor.
Also ask them to keep their voices down so as not to alarm Mr. Gao.
The guards listened to him anyway, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Qu Yunmie was confident of his superior strength, and his management of the palace was very lax. Even peddlers could sneak in if they were bold enough, so it would be even easier for people in the palace to get out.
At Zhuang Weizhi's urging, they quickly left the palace. Zhuang Weizhi tied Xiao Rong to his horse, and then galloped all the way out. The guards became suspicious only when they realized they were heading out of the city. However, military orders were like mountains, and even if they had doubts, they could not seek an answer at this time.
After they left the city and arrived at a rendezvous point, Zhuang Weizhi revealed his true identity, raised his weapons towards his subordinates, and took their lives all in front of their shocked gazes.
After this was done, another person walked out of the bushes—a man with a scar on his face. He first looked at Zhuang Weizhi warily, then grabbed Xiao Rong's hair and looked at his face. ... So handsome, is this really the man?
Thinking so, he asked the same question. Zhuang Weizhi nodded affirmatively, "It was him. He is proficient in divination and was well-known when he was in Pingyang City. He predicted that something would happen in Yizhou and informed them in advance, which ruined your plan. In the palace, even Gao Xunzhi treated him with courtesy."
Li Xiuheng was very satisfied after hearing this: "Very good. Governor Huang is eager to recruit talented people. This kind of surrender will surely satisfy him. Even if he doesn't want to use him, killing him will also be a merit. However, are you sure Qu Yunmie doesn't value this person?"
Li Xiuheng was once the leader of the Zhenbei Army after all. Gao Xunzhi watched Qu Yunmie grow up, and he also watched Qu Yunmie grow up. He knew that Qu Yunmie was a person with a very clear distinction between love and hate. For example, if Zhuang Weizhi defected, Qu Yunmie would be angry, but he would not necessarily chase him immediately. But if Gao Xunzhi defected, he would definitely chase him out in person the next second after discovering it, and would never go back if he could not catch him.
Zhuang Weizhi nodded more affirmatively: "That's right, he doesn't care about this person's life or death. I've observed for a few days that he didn't even call this person to a meeting with his staff. It's obvious that he hates him."
Li Xiuheng was completely satisfied. They each mounted their horses and immediately galloped towards Jianning County.
Zhuang Weizhi has to rely on Xiao Rong to survive, and so does Li Xiuheng.
The Xianbei people now hate him to death, and the Qingfeng Sect used him and then abandoned him. Now his only way out lies in Huang Yanjiong. He hopes that Zhuang Weizi is not lying, and that Qu Yunmie does not care about Zhuang Weizi's defection and allows them to escape safely.
It must be said that Li Xiuheng was a bit lucky, as both of his wishes came true. But the problem was that Zhuang Weizhi's intelligence was wrong, and it was a mistake to expect a warrior to read people's faces. ...
On the other side, in the palace.
Just after the second watch, Qu Yunmie was silent for a long time, and finally came to Xiao Rong's residence.
He thought that it was so late, Xiao Rong must be asleep, so he would talk to the kid he met last time, whose name was Ashu, and ask about his situation before leaving.
He stood at the door and thought for a while before he pushed the door open. …
