Chapter 0034 Come Again
This is a bit strange.
Xiao Rong watched over Qu Yunmie as she wrote the letter. Qu Yunmie was very reluctant when he wrote it and even wasted three sheets of paper.
The letter clearly stated that Huang Yanjiong was asked to come over to discuss the fight against the Xianbei. Huang Yanjiong was definitely unwilling to do something that required him to provide manpower and food. However, because the word "righteousness" was used in the letter, in order not to become an unrighteous person, Huang Yanjiong had no choice but to come over.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Rong had even prepared himself for his arrival in July, but he came so quickly that, counting the days, he might have left the next day after receiving the letter.
Xiao Rong had a hunch that something was fishy, but he was not a god, and he could not figure out what Huang Yanjiong was trying to do with just this little clue.
It was already very late, 2:15 pm, the city gates had long been closed, the curfew had begun, and the people had already blown out the lights and prepared to go to bed.
The normal practice should be to find the army outside the city, hand in your documents, then stay in the army for one night, and then send someone in to report the next day.
After all, Huang Yanjiong came here for a meeting, and this was not an extremely urgent matter. As the prefect, he naturally could not disturb the prince's rest.
Xiao Rong was still thinking about these things, while Qu Yunmie's face fell a little. He was unhappy when he heard Huang Yanjiong's name.
But since he came from afar, he was a guest. Qu Yunmie was not so petty and was planning to lock Huang Yanjiong outside the city for one night. But since everyone was here and he had nothing to do, he let Huang Yanjiong come over.
While Xiao Rong was deep in thought, Qu Yunmie had already told the guards to invite the guests over. The guests were coming, and Mi Jing had to take his leave first. Yu Shaoxie looked at everyone and felt that he was not yet at the stage where he could receive guests with the King of Zhenbei, so he also stood up and said goodbye.
Gao Xunzhi looked at Xiao Rong: "Arong, do you want to see him?"
Xiao Rong nodded: "We have to see what he is up to. Prime Minister, please go back and rest. It is too late today, and we won't talk about anything important. At most, we will just meet them and then let them go back and rest."
Gao Xunzhi also thought that this was true. How could someone come to visit so late at night?
Soon, all of them left, leaving only Qu Yunmie and Xiao Rong sitting here.
Qu Yunmie looked at Xiao Rong and was about to say something else, but then he saw Xiao Rong spoke without even raising his head: "Your Majesty, remember the art of hospitality."
Qu Yunmie: “…………”
With a cold snort, he turned his head to the side.
Although the guards only said that Huang Yanjiong requested a meeting when they reported, how could a prefect like him go out without anyone? There were more than a dozen people in their group, and when Huang Yanjiong came to see Qu Yunmie, he was followed by two people.
One was a scholar and the other a warrior. The scholar looked to be in his thirties or forties, dressed like a scholar with a perfect smile on his face. The warrior's exact age could not be determined, perhaps in his teens or twenties. He followed Huang Yanjiong silently, holding something wrapped in blue silk in his hand, which looked like a sword.
Xiao Rong just glanced at him casually, then looked at Huang Yanjiong.
He is of medium height. Although he has a beard, it is shaved into a small tuft like the people in the Central Plains. At the age of 34, he can be a grandfather for some men, but for Huang Yanjiong, he is obviously still in his golden age.
He was very energetic. Although he was not tall, he looked like a strong and muscular man. Xiao Rong didn't know if it was because he had a preconceived impression of him, but he always felt that he had a bad face. He looked generous and magnanimous, but actually very ferocious.
When Xiao Rong was looking at him, he was also looking at Xiao Rong and Qu Yunmie. He looked at Qu Yunmie first. After not seeing each other for ten years, Huang Yanjiong had not changed much, but Qu Yunmie was like a completely different person.
Huang Yanjiong paused for a moment, obviously a little surprised, then he calmed down and looked at him with a little provocation.
Qu Yunmie sat in the middle of the room. When he saw Huang Yanjiong's eyes, he immediately narrowed his eyes.
Huang Yanjiong felt that he had provoked enough, so he reluctantly moved his eyes away and looked at the second person in the room.
When he saw this, he was so shocked that he stopped right where he was.
Qu Yunmie couldn't stand up to greet Huang Yanjiong, and Xiao Rong was now the Yin of Chenliu, so he was one level higher than Huang Yanjiong. So he sat down and greeted Huang Yanjiong's gaze.
Speaking of which, ever since Huang Yanjiong came, Xiao Rong has been feeling weird in his heart, but he doesn't feel any discomfort, so he can't figure out what this guy wants to do.
Xiao Rong always felt that Huang Yanjiong, who had managed to get to that point in the future, should not have shown such surprise after just one look at his appearance.
While he was wondering, Huang Yanjiong had already walked in. After he came in, he did not salute, but laughed three times first, avoiding the salute with his laughter.
"I haven't seen you for many years. How is King Zhenbei?"
Qu Yunmie wanted to kick him, but he endured it and instead showed a sinister smile: "Very good, Huang Taishou, please sit down."
Huang Yanjiong didn't sit down, but his eyes gradually drifted towards Xiao Rong. He also smiled, but his smile was strange: "I wonder who this is?"
Qu Yunmie: "This is Mr. Xiao, one of my staff members, and the newly arrived Yin of Chenliu."
The title Yin has not been around for long. Logically, only the chief officials in the capital could be called Yin. However, thanks to the constant rebellions over the years, the title Yin has become less strict. The capitals of the vassal states are now called Yin. This may be a bit of a skirting of the rules, but it is still in accordance with the rules.
Yin and the governor are of the same rank, so Huang Yanjiong should greet Xiao Rong.
But he didn't even greet Qu Yunmie, so how could he greet Xiao Rong? As expected, he laughed strangely twice and said, "I was thinking wrong. No wonder the King of Zhenbei hates this the most. How could it be possible?"
What he said was vague, but anyone with a normal IQ could tell what he was talking about. Xiao Rong was stunned. What he was thinking was, what's wrong with this guy? Did he come all the way here just to die?
At this time, Qu Yunmie suddenly stood up, his face completely gloomy.
