Mi Jing nodded. He was more concerned about another question: "Can these also benefit the people of Nanyong?"
Xiao Rong was silent for a moment, then replied, "I can't control the communication between the north and the south, but I can offer more than just these few things. If conditions permit, I will of course take care of the people north of the Huai River first."
At this point, Xiao Rong turned his head and said, "My lord, is that right?"
Qu Yunmie was holding the heating paper bag. He looked up blankly and didn't hear what the two of them said at all.
Xiao Rong: “…”
Mi Jing on the opposite side was completely silent.
The things Xiao Rong brought out could not only improve people's livelihood, but also improve military equipment. Although Mi Jing didn't know how he had so many good things, he could see that the Zhenbei Army with these would definitely move to a higher level.
Choosing Nanyong actually means going against the Zhenbei Army, and choosing the Zhenbei Army means bearing the stigma of usurping the throne.
Mi Jing was a monk from Zunshan Temple. He received favors from the Yong Dynasty when he was in Chang'an. Regardless of his past experiences or the expectations of the people, he actually wanted to go to Nanyong to display his talents.
Besides, he really didn't think highly of King Zhenbei.
Xiao Rong saw his dilemma and after thinking carefully, he could figure out what he was struggling with. Xiao Rong looked at him and decided to give him another drastic measure.
He stood up, raised his hands, and bowed deeply to the Buddhist disciple, just like he had done to Qu Yunmie.
"Please stay in the Zhenbei Army for the sake of the people. The stronger the Zhenbei Army is, the less suffering the people will suffer. When two tigers fight, the earth shakes. When tigers and wolves fight, the ground is in chaos. Only when tigers and rats fight, the world will finally be peaceful."
Mi Jing didn't dare to accept Xiao Rong's gift and quickly stood up. Qu Yunmie looked at Xiao Rong's humble attitude towards Mi Jing and he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
Standing up suddenly, Qu Yunmie pushed Xiao Rong behind him, and then said to Mi Jing in a calm voice: "As Xiao Rong said, this king and the Zhenbei Army have many shortcomings, but this king has made up his mind to move the capital. For the sake of the army and for the people who follow this king, this king will act like the Zhenbei King. This king does not believe in Buddhism or Taoism, but since the people believe in Buddha and Xiao Rong believe in Buddha, this king will come to invite the Buddha to go back. If the Buddha has any dissatisfaction with me, you can speak frankly. This king will take their face and correct their mistakes if there is any, and encourage them if there is none."
Xiao Rong was stunned as he never expected Qu Yunmie to say such a thing. Mi Jing looked at Qu Yunmie's somewhat impatient but serious expression and couldn't help but sigh.
He placed the hand holding the Buddhist beads in front of him and saluted Qu Yunmie with one palm: "Then Mi Jing is sorry to bother the king."…………
Half an hour later, they set out on their journey home. Xiao Rong sat in the carriage, glancing from time to time at Qu Yunmie who was riding a horse outside.
Although Mi Jing looks thin, he has muscles all over his body, otherwise he would not have been able to walk the pilgrimage route again. He was also riding a horse behind and could not hear any movement here.
Qu Yunmie had already seen Xiao Rong's eyes. After enduring for a while, he could no longer bear it and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Xiao Rongle: "I wonder if the king has been possessed by another spirit."
Qu Yunmie was puzzled: "What is possession?"
Xiao Rong thought about how to explain: "The body is still the same body, but the soul inside has changed into a different person."
Qu Yunmie: "...I am not possessed by a wild ghost!"
Xiao Rong shrugged. It turned out that the possession of another's body at this time was called being possessed by a wild ghost.
It was fun to tease the king, but Xiao Rong was a little sleepy, so he leaned against the carriage and yawned slightly. He was quiet, but Qu Yunmie looked at him again. He frowned and finally spoke after a long time: "You are not allowed to be polite to others in the future."
Xiao Rong turned his head, "Why?"
Qu Yunmie: "...Why bother asking so many questions? Just do it."
Xiao Rong blinked at him and said, "Can't this be done to Prime Minister Gao as well?"
Qu Yunmie: “No.”
Xiao Rong asked again: "What about the king?"
Qu Yunmie: "No need, this king doesn't have so many rules."
Xiao Rong uttered an "oh" and was about to lie down again, but suddenly, he turned back and asked curiously, "If I see Your Majesty in the future, can I not perform the formal ceremony?"
Qu Yunmie: “…”
He turned his head expressionlessly towards Xiao Rong and said bluntly: "If you dare to do that, I will chop off his legs!"
Xiao Rong also looked at him steadily, but after a moment, he burst out laughing and almost rolled himself over.
Qu Yunmie: “…………” Is it that necessary?
Xiao Rong laughed as he spoke, almost out of breath: "No, no, you should chop off my legs! It's none of other people's business!"
Qu Yunmie's face turned black because of his laughter, but Xiao Rong was right. Why did his first reaction was to chop off someone's legs? He also felt that his reaction was wrong, so he couldn't answer and could only look at him angrily. However, the more he did this, the happier Xiao Rong laughed.
Soon, Xiao Rong's laughter spread to the back. Mi Jing rode on his horse and listened to the two people's movements silently. ...Why do I feel that I have made a wrong decision?
The author has something to say:
Regarding the controversy in the comment section, I explained the problems in the previous article in the previous article. I will explain the problems in this article here. Many people think that I want to write a heroine in this book, and think that the important female supporting roles I mentioned will steal the show, so I will list all the important female supporting roles. There are more than 60 named supporting roles in this article, including eight women. Four of them are background boards or just mentioned briefly, so I call them ordinary female supporting roles, Ishtar (the king’s mother, deceased), Sun Shannu (the Queen Mother of Nanyong, background board), the daughter of the King of Kucha (no name, background board), A Luo (Xiao Rong’s future maid, a more lively tool person)
The four important female supporting roles are: the first is Chen Sheyu, Xiao Rong's grandmother, an Alzheimer's patient, about sixty years old, an old lady who can never talk to you on the same channel, and finally stays in the palace to retire; the second is Agusega, the king's aunt, who is in her forties, can fight and treat diseases, and her healing skills are very strange. In the end, she abdicated and followed Danran back to the mountains, living and dying in the mountains; the third is Yang Yanshu, the king's sister-in-law, and the king's eldest brother were childhood sweethearts, so after the eldest brother died, she became gloomy. With the help of Xiao Rong and his family, she slowly got out of the psychological trauma, and finally married someone else. I have another little family. The fourth one is Danran, the king’s niece. She is nine years old this year. She is obedient and cute and has her own ideas. When she grows up, she doesn’t want to stay in the palace as a princess, so she leads her people back to Hamgyong Mountain and returns to the life of mountain people. I said that her life is free and romantic. That’s for her. If it’s someone else, they won’t think hunting every day is so romantic, but she is Butewu’s girl. She is born to yearn for this. Some comments asked me why I gave her a free and romantic life but not the top and bottom. I don’t know how to answer this question. Could it be that I asked the top and bottom to go back to the mountains to hunt…
These four people are not involved in the main storyline, they just live their own lives well. I say they are important because they are all relatives of the top and bottom, and have a direct relationship with them. To be honest, I also think that Li Xiuheng, who died after two appearances, is an important male supporting role, but he can't steal the limelight from the protagonist. I am used to deciding everyone's ending before writing, so I can assure you here that there is no big heroine. As for the ending of the top and bottom, it is to become emperor and empress and live in the palace for the rest of their lives. That's it. I won't read the comments section anymore. I have a bad mentality, and seeing some negative comments will affect the quality of my writing. So just post what you should post, but don't ask me again. I guess I won't dare to look at what you post until it's finished. Also, thank you to the readers who spoke for me, thank you so much, the only thing I can do is to finish this article well, don't worry, I won't cheat
