He felt that something was wrong. There must be something wrong. There must be some reason that he didn't know about.
Sun Renluan immediately convened an emergency meeting and asked these officials, half of whom he thought were good-for-nothings, to leave behind his own confidants and some respected officials, including Yang Zangyi.
This group of people discussed and whispered for a long time, but Xiao Rong hadn't really entered the palace yet, and their CPUs were already about to burn out. However, the result was still the same as before, and the discussion was in vain. If they didn't let Xiao Rong in, they had no idea what Xiao Rong was here to do.
So, after staying outside the city for a full half hour, someone finally came to receive them. They didn't come to take them into the palace, but to take them to a temporary place to stay. As for when to enter the palace, that depended on the arrangement of the Grand Marshal.
It was summer now and there was no place to cool off outside the city, so the twenty or so people had been basking in the sun at the city gate. Ever since Xiao Rong revealed his identity, there were suddenly more soldiers guarding the city, and they did not let Xiao Rong and the others go in to wait, and just stared at them nervously.
So when the receptionist came over, Zhang Biezhi got angry as expected.
"Is this the way Jinling treats guests? You locked the guests from afar outside the city and didn't let them in. The scorching sun made everyone dizzy! You are deliberately neglecting us. To neglect us is to neglect the King of Zhenbei!"
The receptionist was sweating profusely. He wiped his forehead and explained in a low voice: "I just received the news as well..."
Zhang Biezhi: "What do you mean by 'this official'? You are a subordinate! Don't think I don't know anything. Our Chenliu Yin is at the same level as your Jinling Yin!"
Xiao Rong had ignored him before, but at this moment he suddenly coughed heavily.
Thanks to what happened last night, Zhang Biezhi's back stiffened instantly, and he added reflexively: "Besides, I am here, no civil servant can surpass me!"
Xiao Rong: “…”
It's a bit exaggerated, but let's just make do with it.
The official position of the person who came to receive him was indeed not high. He was a Zhonglang Clerk in Jinling. Although it was an official position that allowed him to go to court and meet His Majesty, there were dozens of such Zhonglang Clerks in Jinling.
He was sent out to take the blame.
Zhang Biezhi looked like an uneducated warrior. He was scolded by Zhang Biezhi standing at the city gate and became very upset. But he didn't dare to provoke Zhang Biezhi. He had never seen what the Zhenbei Army was like. He only knew that the rumored Zhenbei Army was never afraid of killing people. He was afraid that the other party would really attack him.
Fortunately, not all people in this group were so unreasonable. The Chenliu Yin was very gentle. He advised Zhang Biezhi not to say anything more, but was glared at by Zhang Biezhi. Then, as if he didn't want to have anything to do with Xiao Rong, he walked to the back angrily.
From then on, it was this Chenliu Yin who kept talking to him. When he first saw what this Chenliu Yin looked like, this man almost thought he was hallucinating.
This is so beautiful!
Oh my, look at the thin layer of sweat on his forehead, the unhealthy flush on his cheeks, and his weak voice. My god, even the number one young master of Jinling is outdone by him!
Zhang Biezhi said so much just now, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with leaving the guests here in the sun. Now he doesn't think so anymore. How can he let such a handsome young man suffer here!
So he quickly took Xiao Rong and the others to rest. Xiao Rong listened to him caring about his health, smiled faintly, and then said a classic line: "It's an old problem, it's nothing serious."
Hearing this made the other party feel even more distressed.
Xiao Rong took this opportunity to ask this person about the situation in the palace. Although the other party didn't say anything, some side information was still revealed in his words, such as the palace did not receive him because the discussion was very intense, and that he came at an inopportune time today because the emperor did not attend the court, so he could not be allowed to enter the palace immediately.
Does the emperor need to prepare anything if he wants to meet his ministers? Isn't it reasonable for the ministers to take a bath and change clothes?
But this little emperor was a puppet. Sun Renluan sidelined him but couldn't do without him at the same time, which resulted in Xiao Rong being unable to use the palace in his memory to adapt this one.
Moreover, Xiao Rong couldn't tell whether they didn't want to see him because they really hadn't thought it through or because they wanted to keep leaving him alone.
Never mind, if the enemy comes, we will fight back. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. Since he couldn't enter the palace for a while, Xiao Rong decided to take a nap first. He was not feeling well in the first place, and now he was exposed to the sun for half an hour. He felt that he was about to have heatstroke, so he should take a rest.
He fell asleep. Zhang Biezhi was not very sleepy because he was angry about the attitude of the people in Jinling. Ashu stayed by Xiao Rong's side, one to protect him, and the other to keep an eye on him to see if he would suddenly have a fever again like before.
After being noisy all the way, everything became quiet in the afternoon, and no one noticed that when everyone was resting after Sen*wan* tidying up, a guard sneaked out of the room. He didn't run too far, but put a letter hidden in his sleeve in front of a pawnshop. After a while, the letter was taken away and sent to North Yangzhou at full speed.
Nan Yong could place spies in Chenliu, so Qu Yunmie could also place spies in Jinling. He never mentioned it because these people seemed useless. He sent them to Jinling to keep an eye on the movements of the Jinling army, but they were so good at staying put that they didn't move for several years. This caused the spies he sent to be very idle, and they were quite happy to get such a messenger job.
Qu Yunmie did not go to the garrison in North Yangzhou, but stayed near the dock. He felt uneasy since Xiao Rong left, and regretted why he agreed to let him go alone. He really couldn't be so easy to talk to in the future. ...
As he was pacing back and forth in the room, the guards outside told him that a letter had arrived from Nanjing.
Upon hearing this, Qu Yunmie immediately strode out, snatched the letter from the spy whose name he had forgotten, opened it in no time, and then read the letter quickly.
Gradually, the spy who delivered the letter was no longer happy.
Because he found that Qu Yunmie's expression was becoming more and more terrifying... In the end, he simply crumpled the letter into a ball, and because he used too much force, scraps of paper fell from between his fingers.
In extreme anger, he looked towards the other side of the Huai River, as if from here he could already see Xiao Rong sleeping peacefully in the guest room of Jinling.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Wait until you come back, and see how I deal with you!"
Xiao Rong smacked his lips in his sleep. He seemed to hear a buzzing sound, which was very annoying, so he slapped it, turned over and continued to sleep well.
