Chapter 0059: Fierce
Xiao Rong was just joking when he said he had eyes on the back of his head. After all, this sentence has been included in the collection of proverbs in later generations. But what he didn't know was that there was no such saying at that time. Only fishermen near the sea knew about flounder. Everyone in Zhenbei Army was from the inland. Let alone the sea, they had never seen a big lake. ...
Moreover, after this period of settling down, everyone lived together on the relocation road for more than a month. The rumors that were originally only spread in a small area suddenly expanded to the entire army. Even Song Shuo had heard of Xiao Rong's deeds, not to mention the soldiers who were closer to Xiao Rong.
Rumors are always exaggerated. The closer you are to the truth, the less you know. The less people know Xiao Rong, the more they spread rumors about him. Therefore, the guard not only believed such an outrageous statement, but also automatically completed Xiao Rong's logic in his mind.
Mr. Xiao said that he had eyes on the back of his head, which must be true, otherwise how would he know that I secretly went out to deliver the letter? As for why we can't see the eyes on the back of his head, this is simply nonsense. How can ordinary people see the abnormality of talented people? ! If he could see it, wouldn't he also become a talented person!
By the way, I heard that there is something called Dharma Eye in Buddhist scriptures, which is an eye but not an eye. Maybe Mr. Xiao’s other pair of eyes is like this…
That doesn't make sense. I heard from Mr. Gao that Mr. Xiao is a disciple of the Taoist Master, and that the Taoist Master sent him to help the King. How come he is related to Buddhism? Moreover, he has never been to a Taoist temple. Instead, he is chatting and laughing with Buddhist disciples. He is also planning to visit the Gaochan Temple, the most popular temple in Jinling, before leaving. …
Xiao Rong had no idea that his one sentence would cause the guard to have so many thoughts. He took the letter. It happened to be a sunny day today, and the moonlight illuminated the entire yard, so he opened the letter right there.
It was pretty much as he expected, all the big and small things that happened today, including what he did, who he met, whether anyone had any ill will towards him, and the surrounding developments, etc.
Being monitored should be a very annoying thing, but Xiao Rong felt quite calm when he read the letter.
Maybe it was because he had been mentally prepared. He felt something was wrong when he crossed the Huai River. He always felt that Qu Yunmie should not let him go so easily. Qu Yunmie was particularly wary of Jinling. It was probably related to his past experiences. The actual danger of Jinling was six points, and in Qu Yunmie's mind it would be directly magnified to sixty points.
He was a man with a strong desire for control and couldn't bear to see his subordinates fall into such a dangerous situation...
The guard's wild speculation ended, and he finally remembered Xiao Rong's temper. He had seen how Xiao Rong treated Zhang Biezhi in the past few days. Now that he found out that the king did not trust him as he promised, he would not be furious.
The one in the yard was very nervous, and the ones hiding under the window and peeking were also very nervous. Just when the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense, Xiao Rong suddenly curled his lips, then raised his other hand and crisply flicked the edge of the letter paper.
He ordered the guards: "Wait here."
After saying that, he went back to his room, closed the door, lit a candle, and didn't know what he was doing. A moment later, he came out with another letter, but it was not the one written by the guards.
Handing the new envelope to the guard, Xiao Rong smiled and said, "Tell the king that this is a secret letter without words. He needs to decipher it before he can see what I wrote. This is the punishment for him not trusting me. But if he deciphers it before I go back, I will give him a gift. A big gift~"
Guard: “…………”
Xiao Rong stuffed the letter into the guard's hand, and then went back to sleep in a good mood. The guard stood there blankly, with his hands on his chest like a chinchilla, holding the letter mechanically. After a long while, he swallowed silently.
In fact, no matter if it was four eyes or three heads and six arms, none of them shocked the guards as much as Xiao Rong's words just now. ——Punishment.
Their king was so brave and he always punished others. When would it be someone else's turn to punish him? What was even more terrifying was that Xiao Rong used such a casual tone, as if he didn't even realize how great his words were.
However, these were not the most terrifying things. The most terrifying thing was that he actually felt that Xiao Rong was not exaggerating. Ever since they parted in Anding City, the king had changed more and more. They, the brothers, stayed in the military camp all year round and were always at the forefront. They did not go into the city on weekdays and would only follow the king through life and death during wars. Therefore, they were the ones who could feel most directly how drastic these changes were.
At first they didn't understand why, but when they were sent out to protect Xiao Rong, they understood.
After a long silence, he did not do as Xiao Rong said and deliver the letter immediately. Instead, he turned around silently and returned to the big bunk bed where the guards lived.
When they saw him push the door open, the people in the room immediately surrounded him.
The guard who took the letter said: "Since it is a secret letter written by Mr. Xiao himself, I will deliver it myself to avoid any mistakes."
