Humph, he just said in a high-sounding manner that it was for his own good. In his opinion, if there hadn't been the sudden assassination incident, Xiao Rong would have been ready to lure him here, and he would have come up with a different excuse by then!
He was a little angry, but he felt more proud, which showed that Xiao Rong was determined to win him. As expected, real heroes all respect each other.
Song Suo felt a little dizzy, but before he really got dizzy, he forced himself to calm down and asked Xiao Rong a question: "You said there is no danger, so I can return home." Xiao Rong nodded.
Song Suo: "In your opinion, when will there be no danger?"
Xiao Rong replied calmly: "Of course, when the world is at peace."
Song Shuo: “…………”
His expression is indescribable.
Xiao Rong is the King of Zhenbei's man. When he said the world was stable, he didn't mean that Nanyong or someone else would unify the world, but that the King of Zhenbei would conquer the entire Central Plains. But at that time, why would he return home? Wouldn't the only person he could serve by then be the King of Zhenbei?
After all, Xiao Rong had no intention of letting him go! Ah, what should I do?
Seems even happier~ He lowered his head and calmly drank the remaining half cup of tea. Xiao Rong didn't know what he was thinking. He just felt that it was enough and Song Shuo should not be angry anymore.
It’s done here, and it’s done over there…it’s done over there too.
Thinking of Qu Yunmie, Xiao Rong's heart still had some sour bubbles in it, but it was a good thing that Qu Yunmie and his new staff could live in harmony, so he forced all the bubbles down, and then warned Song Shuo: "It's okay for you to play these little tricks in front of me, I won't take it seriously, but you can't be so willful in front of the king. Do you think the king can't see through your deliberate rudeness like today? He can tolerate you once or twice, but if you do it too many times and really make him angry, I'll see what you can do!"
Song Suo didn't care: "Aren't you still here?"
Xiao Rong: "...What use can I have? When the king gets angry, even eight horses can't stop him."
Song Shuo looked at Xiao Rong speechlessly.
It was very dark last night, but it was not so dark that he could not see such a big scene clearly. Qu Yunmie was in a posture of killing gods and Buddhas, so only Xiao Rong dared to run over to stop him. When Xiao Rong called his name directly, Song Shuo's eyes widened in shock. However, what surprised him even more was that Qu Yunmie really stopped the next second.
Being able to make the King of Zhenbei regain his sanity instantly, no matter what Xiao Rong did afterwards, Song Shuo would not be more shocked, so Song Shuo just listened to what Xiao Rong said at this time as a joke.
There are still eight horses. Yes, eight horses are of course useless, but Xiao Rong alone is worth eight thousand horses.
But... he really didn't intend to act annoyingly anymore. Although he didn't know what the situation was like in Chenliu, just looking at the rule of the King of Zhenbei, he felt that it was much more interesting than Nanjing. And the King of Zhenbei himself was not like what the outside world said, that he would not listen to a word and would draw his sword to kill people if he disagreed with something.
How bad could a person be who can do such a thing as sneaking into enemy territory to rescue his subordinates?
So he really wanted to stay and see. If he saw something that made him unhappy, he would just do it again. If he didn't see anything... then there would be no harm in staying.
At least he no longer has any worries. When he clearly joined the Zhenbei Army, I believe Jinling would not dare to do anything to his family. They cannot afford the risk of the Zhenbei Army sending troops at this time.
Xiao Rong and others had been resting at the garrison in North Yangzhou, but there had been no movement from Nanyong, not even a single piece of news related to them had been heard, and everyone accepted this well.
Xiao Rong was patient and could afford to wait. He knew that Nanyong could not pretend that nothing had happened, and he would not allow such a thing to happen, so he was not in a hurry. As for Qu Yunmie, his situation was even simpler. He clearly told Xiao Rong that after defeating the Xianbei, he would lead his troops south and burn the entire Nanyong Palace to the ground.
Xiao Rong: “…………”
He felt like he was going crazy: "The people who wanted to kill me were sent by Yang Zangyi, and the people who injured the king were also Yang Zangyi's private soldiers. What does this have to do with the palace? He doesn't even live there!"
Qu Yunmie: "Yang Zangyi works for Nanyong. Isn't everything he does for Nanyong? Then what's the problem if I conquer Nanyong?"
Xiao Rong was convinced. He never expected that even if Gao Xunzhi had not died, Qu Yunmie would still do this to commit suicide.
Do you really like being a traitor?! And if you really do that, then what is the point of me going against all odds and going deep into Jinling this time?
He went through so much trouble to contact the young emperor, wasn't it just so that he could successfully serve the king in the future and safely transfer the imperial power to Qu Yunmie!
Xiao Rong was so angry that his heart ached. He didn't know if he was angry or if something really went wrong. Xiao Rong suddenly sat down with his hands on his chest. He pursed his lips and his breathing was a little faster than usual. Qu Yunmie was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up. He knelt down beside Xiao Rong, then raised his hand and pressed his thumb on the top of Xiao Rong's neck. This was the aorta and he could clearly feel the heartbeat.
Xiao Rong was just trying to get over the momentary discomfort when Qu Yunmie's big palm suddenly covered him. The slightly warm touch startled him.
He looked at Qu Yunmie: "What are you doing?"
Qu Yunmie was feeling his heartbeat. Hearing this, he seemed to be stumped as well: "When I was a kid... I saw Luo Wu treating people with heart diseases in this way."
Xiao Rong was silent. He waved away Qu Yunmie's hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as you are not angry with me, I will have no heart disease."
Qu Yunmie: “…”
He didn't understand: "Can't you see that I'm trying to avenge you? Why are you still angry?"
Xiao Rong was angered by his self-righteous attitude again: "It is precisely because I can see that that I am angry. Why would hundreds of thousands of Zhenbei troops act for the personal vendetta of one person? If someone offends me, Your Majesty will lead the army south. If someone offends an ordinary soldier, will Your Majesty do the same?"
Qu Yunmie: "Why do you always compare yourself with others every time you say this? Others will always be others, and you will always be you!"
Xiao Rong felt that Qu Yunmie was unreasonable. He looked up at Qu Yunmie, but found that Qu Yunmie was also looking at him with a very stubborn expression.
On some issues, he was willing to listen to Xiao Rong, but on others, he would insist on his own opinion.
Looking at Qu Yunmie like this, Xiao Rong was stunned. He didn't know since when he had taken it for granted that Qu Yunmie would listen to him. In fact, it was normal for him not to listen to him.
Because he is Qu Yunmie, he is a great hero, he will never and should not become someone else's puppet.
This time he was silent for even longer. After a long while, he spoke again, choosing his words carefully: "Nan Yong, we will fight."
"But the palace is innocent. It is just a dead object. Burning it down has no benefit except to vent anger. The people living in it are useless royal family members, and the ones who built it were countless slaves. It is a tragedy to die while building a palace for the noble. If even this palace ends up like this, then they will not even have the last meaning and signs of living. The palace is innocent, the people are innocent, and the poor people who have not done anything bad but are implicated are even more innocent. I have never stopped the king from seeking revenge. I only hope that the king can fight back and not involve others, causing more hatred and more killing."
