Ashu immediately looked at him accusingly, you just said there was no danger!
Xiao Rong: "...Okay, then you go and clean up as well."
Only then did Ashu nod, but he didn't look very happy. Instead, he walked away very heavily.
Xiao Rong: “…………”
He leaned against the door frame and looked at Ashu's back in silence. Suddenly, he heard a deep voice behind him: "Do you regret it?"
Xiao Rong folded his arms and turned around, looking at Qu Yunmie. He said arrogantly, "Your Majesty, you don't know. I have never known the word regret in my life."
Qu Yunmie nodded in understanding, then asked him, "So you didn't regret it when you scolded me for being stubborn before?"
Xiao Rong: “…”
Why are you still bringing this up!
His expression became unbearable again: "My king, it is not the behavior of a real man to always bring up the past."
Qu Yunmie looked away, pretending that he didn't hear his accusation.
He walked in and looked at the bag that Xiao Rong had not yet tied up. There were a few pieces of clothing and some daily necessities in it, but nothing else.
Qu Yunmie frowned and asked him, "Where is your sword?"
Xiao Rong subconsciously looked at the wall. The sword was hanging there. Qu Yunmie followed his gaze and said, "You should take it with you."
Xiao Rong was puzzled: "What's the point of bringing it? It's not sharpened. Besides, I can't bring a sword into the palace. My sword will be taken away outside the palace gate."
Qu Yunmie knew that he had also been to the palace. The guards at the palace gate treated those without family background almost like pigs, cows and sheep. They checked them roughly, confiscated all their belongings, and secretly laughed at their shabby appearance.
During the one year he spent in Nanyong, he spent three months in Lujiang, eight months in Jinling, and the last month on the road to defection.
Lujiang still had some ordinary memories, but Jinling made Qu Yunmie feel angry every day.
Qu Yunmie had a general level of education, and he couldn't say anything very literary. He only knew that the Jinling Palace was like a big urn filled with ugly beasts. They were deformed and unaware of it, and instead made fun of the normal people. Whenever Qu Yunmie thought of the sharp and piercing laughter they made, he couldn't help but frown.
He really didn't want Xiao Rong to go through what he had gone through.
Originally, he planned to follow him secretly tomorrow. Although Xiao Rong was smart, his skills were too poor and his eyesight was average. If Qu Yunmie really hid his whereabouts, Xiao Rong would definitely not be able to find him.
But in this case, Xiao Rong wouldn't know that he was following him, and he was a man with very careful plans. If something happened, he wouldn't think that there was someone here who could help him. Instead, he would go the other way and run to a place where Qu Yunmie couldn't find him.
So after much thought, Qu Yunmie decided to tell the truth to Xiao Rong.
Turning around, in front of Xiao Rong's clueless gaze, Qu Yunmie said, "I'll take you out of the city tomorrow."
Xiao Rong was stunned, and just wanted to say that this was not necessary, but then he heard Qu Yunmie continue to say: "I will take you all the way to the Huai River, and then you go over there, and I will stay there and wait for you to come back."
Xiao Rong looked at him in astonishment. He opened his mouth to speak, but was quickly interrupted by Qu Yunmie: "I won't let anyone see me. In wars, we also have to launch surprise attacks. I have penetrated into the military camps of tens of thousands of troops, and no one has ever discovered that I am here, let alone the people of Jinling."
Xiao Rong: “…”
He pursed his lips and said, "But this round trip takes too long. Chen Liu here——"
Qu Yunmie: "You are the one who manages Chenliu. If you can't come back, what's the point of me being here alone?"
Xiao Rong looked at him in a daze, and after a pause, he subconsciously turned his head to the other side to avoid Qu Yunmie's scorching gaze.
Qu Yunmie almost never lies, and every word he says comes from the bottom of his heart. He cannot say anything touching, but only expresses his true feelings. That is why when he said these words so seriously, his gaze made Xiao Rong feel vaguely uncomfortable.
It was like a pair of branding irons, burning him painfully.
His attitude had softened, but he still wanted to persuade Qu Yunmie: "The Huai River is far away from the palace. Even if something really happened, Your Majesty would not be able to get there in time."
Qu Yunmie hummed: "At least it's closer than Chenliu."
At least there are more possibilities than Chenliu.
Xiao Rong turned his head back, raised his eyes and looked at Qu Yunmie.
In fact, he knew why Qu Yunmie wanted to stay on the side of the Huai River, because this was his bottom line. He would never agree to let Qu Yunmie cross the Huai River no matter what. He knew himself, so he said that.
He understood Xiao Rong, and Xiao Rong also understood him, and knew how much nervousness he was trying hard to hide was hidden in his current tone, which was like a notification.
Xiao Rong asked: "If I say that the king cannot go, what will the king do?"
Qu Yunmie paused for a moment and said, "You can go ahead and do it."
Xiao Rong has his bottom line, and he has his too.
After hearing this, Xiao Rong couldn't help but curl his lips: "What else can I say? I will come back and reunite with the king as soon as possible."
Hearing that he agreed, Qu Yunmie felt relieved. He also raised the corners of his lips. The two smiled at each other without saying anything more.
