Chapter 0066 It's Yours
Qu Yunmie looked unhappy.
Xiao Rong probably knew why. Qu Yunmie was a very stubborn person and didn't like changes. If there weren't so many dangers in the world, both overt and covert, he wouldn't even be willing to be the King of Zhenbei. He would be happy to be a general leading troops in battles all his life.
During the time that Xiao Rong was by his side, except for when Yu Shaocheng came to join him, he showed a satisfied smile. No matter who came to the Zhenbei Army, they would get a sour look from Qu Yunmie when they met for the first time, even Xiao Rong himself was no exception.
Like Fuzi and Xiao Rong, both have clear ideas and goals, so they don't care about Qu Yunmie's attitude at all. But Song Suo is different. Song Suo was forcibly tied to this ship by Xiao Rong, and he is both smart and foolish, and he has a family behind him to support him. If he feels offended, Xiao Rong will not be able to coax him.
As soon as he saw Qu Yunmie was silent, Xiao Rong knew something bad was going to happen. He immediately turned around and said to Song Suo with a smile, "Okay, we were in a hurry last night and didn't have time for Master Song to meet the king. Now that they have met, and the king needs to rest, Master Song might as well go back first. When we get to Chenliu, we'll have time to exchange greetings and get to know each other."
Song Suo looked at him, his eyes seemed to contain a lot of meaning. Suddenly, he smiled, then bowed, turned around and walked out obediently.
Xiao Rong watched him leave with a smile. It was not until the curtains were lowered that Xiao Rong put away his polite smile and turned to Qu Yunmie.
Immediately afterwards, he and Qu Yunmie spoke at the same time.
"Your Majesty, this is so rude!" / "Is this the gift you were talking about?!"
Xiao Rong: “…”
Qu Yunmie: “…”
The two were stunned, but Xiao Rong spoke first: "What's wrong with this gift? Your Majesty, you don't know that Song Suo's talent is not inferior to mine. He has the ability of a prime minister! One Song Suo is comparable to thousands of troops!"
To this, Qu Yunmie sneered: "Is it the ability of a prime minister, or the ability of eating candy?"
Xiao Rong: “…”
He continued to speak well of Song Shuo: "Song Shuo's character is a bit arrogant, but he has the qualifications to be arrogant, doesn't he?"
Qu Yunmie still didn't care: "Whether he is qualified to be arrogant is not his decision, but mine. As a scholar, he behaves so erratically and rudely. Tell me why I didn't say anything to him before. How can he come in with candy in his mouth?"
Xiao Rong: “…”
When have you ever cared about these things? You just don't like Song Suo, so you're taking advantage of the situation!
After trying his luck, Xiao Rong said, "How can it be the same? Young Master Song has not even held an official position yet, but he is still considered my guest. Is the king also my guest?"
Qu Yunmie's expression improved a little, but he was still unwilling to let Xiao Rong go. "Well, let's assume that what you said makes sense, but do you really think that I can accept this great gift you mentioned?"
Xiao Rong looked at him silently: "What does the king mean?"
Qu Yunmie glanced at him and said, "When giving a gift, you should give the recipient what he likes."
Xiao Rong: “…”
Xiao Rong felt that he was making things difficult for himself.
What hobbies could Qu Yunmie have? It's nothing more than war and fighting. This Xiao Rong can't satisfy him. With his small body, his fate would probably be the same as that of Xi Zhu. He would be killed on the spot before he even started to fight.
Qu Yunmie does not like luxury and does not enjoy life. His life is as simple as his mind, boring to the point of being outrageous.
The only time Xiao Rong could clearly see his preference was when he was holding the dean's big sword, but Xiao Rong had no intention of giving the sword to him.
Pursing his lips, Xiao Rong replied: "Then I will think about it. Please wait for good news, Your Majesty."
Unexpectedly, he agreed. Qu Yunmie thought that this unreasonable approach would not work.
His eyes involuntarily glanced at himself, looking at the white cloth wrapped around his waist. Qu Yunmie thought, if he had known that being injured would be so effective, he would have used this trick a long time ago. …
Feeling that he had calmed Qu Yunmie down, Xiao Rong sat down beside the bed and once again talked to Qu Yunmie about the importance of Song Suo. He was afraid that Qu Yunmie would speak rudely to Song Suo as he did to the Buddhist disciple. Although Qu Yunmie had promised that he would not do that again, Song Suo was more rude than the Buddhist disciple. If he pissed Qu Yunmie off, then nothing could be said.
Xiao Rong appealed to Song Suo's emotions and reasoned with him, talking about the exclusion Song Suo suffered in Jinling and the embarrassing position of their Song family in Nanyong. In order to make Song Suo more impressed, Xiao Rong even mentioned Song Suo's grandmother. After all, Qu Yunmie was a man who respected the elderly and loved the young, and he was usually very nice to Chen.
Xiao Rong spoke earnestly, but he did not notice that Qu Yunmie's eyes had gradually changed, nor did he realize that his words had taken effect.
The way it worked was not what he expected.
Qu Yunmie: Behaving eccentrically, arrogant because of his talent, born in a noble family, being ostracized, fighting alone...
Moreover, he was born with a weakness, and even more coincidentally, he had a grandmother who loved him dearly! Joke - How come he was so similar to Xiao Rong in every way? Well... that couldn't be said, because he was inferior to Xiao Rong in every way. He could see his appearance and personality, but as for his intelligence... never mind, since he was inferior in other aspects, he must be inferior in intelligence as well.
Qu Yunmie's dislike for Buddhist disciples has reached its peak. It is difficult for others to get the same treatment as Buddhist disciples. Qu Yunmie at most finds Song Suo a bit annoying, but not to the extent of disgust. Now, after listening to Xiao Rong's words, he has changed his attitude even more.
Xiao Rong never talked about his past experiences in front of him. Occasionally, he mentioned a sentence or two, which sounded quite sad. For example, he and Ashu were traveling alone, and they would encounter bandits on the road, and they also encountered wealthy families who wanted to rob men. Whenever they encountered such things, Xiao Rong would let Ashu hide and he would deal with it himself. Although he was able to escape danger every time, Ashu couldn't help shivering when he mentioned these things.
For another example, neither the master nor the servant had much money, so they lived frugally every day on the road. At first they hired a horse carriage, then an ox cart, and finally a donkey cart. If Xiao Rong had not been in poor health, he would have even wanted to save the money for the donkey cart and just walk.
Before he was found, Xiao Rong lived such a hard life.
What happened yesterday could not be brought up again. Since Xiao Rong did not want to mention it, Qu Yunmie naturally would not bring up his sad memories. It was just that occasionally, when he had finished training his muscles and bones and was looking at the distant sky with a slight breath, he would think of it, and then an emotion called regret would arise in his heart.
It would have been nice if they had met earlier.
But this assumption is something that will never happen. Xiao Rong cannot erase all the hardships he has experienced. This is a regret in his heart and a privacy that he may never tell in his entire life.
But at this moment, listening to Xiao Rong talking about how difficult Song Suo's life was, Qu Yunmie couldn't help but compare the two of them, and then his attitude towards Song Suo softened a lot.
