This should have been his advantage, but it turned out to be his blind spot.
Xiao Rong was quietly reflecting on himself here, learning from his mistakes, but before he could finish his reflection, he heard a rather sarcastic voice coming from behind him.
"I thought you had suffered a lot in Jinling, but now it seems you are enjoying a happy life with your beloved wife."
Xiao Rong: “…………”
He stared ahead with a frozen expression, and after blinking slightly, he turned his head and asked, "Are you talking about the owner of this silver hairpin, Xizhu?"
Qu Yunmie smiled, but it was a sinister smile: "You call me by my maiden name? I was wrong. It turns out that Mr. Xiao is also a man of temperament. If that's the case, why don't you bring this girl back? Why do you have to take a hairpin to remind me of her?"
Xiao Rong looked at his expression and replied, "I can't bring it back."
Qu Yunmie sat across from him. This time, he didn't feel any pain from the wound. All his attention was on mocking Xiao Rong: "Humph, how can a girl from Jinling be so appreciative of the land and water of Chenliu?"
Xiao Rong: “…”
After a moment of silence, he said, "I can't bring her back because she's dead."
Qu Yunmie was stunned. Before he could think of what to say, he heard Xiao Rong change the subject: "But if she wasn't dead, I really wanted to take her back to Chenliu."
Qu Yunmie: “…………”
I was just joking, how dare you think that?!
He said angrily, "You are now my aide and a member of the Zhenbei Army. The Zhenbei Army cannot have too much involvement with the people of Jinling! Even if she is not dead, you cannot take her back to Chenliu with me here! There are many women in this world. What's so good about this woman that you can't forget her even after escaping death!"
Qu Yunmie felt that what he said was righteous, but the look in Xiao Rong's eyes when he looked at him became more and more strange.
In the end, he still did not point out these strange things, but sighed and said to Qu Yunmie: "It is precisely because I escaped death that I can't forget her, because she is the one who wanted me dead."
Qu Yunmie's expression changed, and then Xiao Rong told her that he recognized her as an assassin at the banquet, including that he later wanted to knock her out and take away some physical evidence, but who knew that she was pretending to be unconscious, and this assassin was really fragile, and the guard commander only used one move and directly hacked her to death.
Qu Yunmie: “…”
The leader of the guards he arranged was the General of the Central Army in the Zhenbei Army. He was specifically responsible for taking the lead in attacking the enemy's formation, breaking up the enemy and creating an advantage for his own side. This man could even tear open a gap in the face of heavy cavalry, let alone a slender and weak assassin.
But Qu Yunmie did not intend to tell Xiao Rong this, because he already knew Xiao Rong very well. If Xiao Rong knew that he had arranged such a powerful general to be his bodyguard, Xiao Rong would definitely teach him a lesson again.
Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen before the pursuit. Qu Yunmie's heart became heavier. Fortunately, it was all over, and Xiao Rong also saw through the opponent's trick. Anyway, as he said, he would never let Xiao Rong leave Chenliu again, so there was no need to hold on to these things anymore.
Xiao Rong didn't know that he was serious about what he said. He thought Qu Yunmie was just saying something in anger, and he didn't take it seriously at all. At this time, Qu Yunmie was not stupid enough to repeat it again. He just asked Xiao Rong: "How did you recognize that she was an assassin?"
The truth is definitely not something that can be told, but Xiao Rong has his own way of explaining it: "I don't know either. As soon as I saw her, I felt something was wrong. Later, when I heard Yang Zangyi say that he wanted to give all these dancers to me, I knew that this was a cover-up."
Qu Yunmie had never heard of this story, but after a little thought he could understand what it meant. His expression relaxed a little and he chuckled, "That's right. Anyone who pays attention to you, whether it's a man or a woman, you should treat her as an assassin."
Xiao Rong: “…………”
There's no need to be so panic-stricken.
Although he disagreed with Qu Yunmie's statement in his heart, Xiao Rong didn't have to argue with Qu Yunmie over such a trivial matter. The two smiled at each other. Xiao Rong asked him if he was hungry, and then went out to find Ashu and asked him to bring all the warm food over.
As Qu Yunmie looked at Xiao Rong standing beside the curtain, the corners of his mouth slowly flattened.
He didn't mention it, and Xiao Rong didn't mention it either. It was as if the argument and embarrassment in the morning had never happened. This was probably the way adults got along with each other. When faced with irreconcilable conflicts, they would ignore them and pretend that they never existed.
Some things can be handled in this way, but some things, the more you ignore them, the more they will become a thorn in your heart.
Qu Yunmie had never experienced this before, because there had never been a Xiao Rong who appeared beside him before, making him so angry but unable to do anything. Forget it, just take it one step at a time, there is still a long time to go. …………
Soon, Ah Shu came in with the food. They were all the main dishes that Xiao Rong had the cook prepare for him, including pork liver, pork heart, pork elbow, red dates, red beans, and red carrots. The whole table was blindingly red.
Qu Yunmie: “…”
He does like eating meat, but not to this extent.
While Qu Yunmie was still asleep, everyone else had already finished their meal, so Xiao Rong just sat opposite Qu Yunmie and watched him eat all the dishes.
Qu Yunmie had been injured before, and the worst time was when he lost half his life. At that time, there were not so many red foods on his table. Qu Yunmie knew that this must have been arranged by Xiao Rong. He always had this kind of weird insistence, and talked about some common sense and rules that others had never seen before.
In order not to waste Xiao Rong's kindness, Qu Yunmie silently finished all the food even though he began to feel nauseous after eating. Seeing how obedient he was, Xiao Rong smiled slightly and then winked at Ashu.
Ashu nodded, then ran out quickly and brought up the last dish that had been warming in the stove, which was also a sweet soup.
Ashu put the sweet soup next to Qu Yunmie, who only took a glance at it and said, "Take it away."
