Qu Yunmie stared at these things in amazement. Even when Xiao Rong and others were not here, he didn't need to deal with so many official duties.
Xiao Rong looked at his unacceptable expression and finally felt relieved. He smiled slightly and said to Qu Yunmie, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Xiao Rong will take his leave."
Qu Yunmie was counting how many books there were in the pile. Hearing this, he called out to him reflexively: "Where are you going?"
Leave all the official duties to him, so where are you going? ? Are you planning to go out alone for fun?
Xiao Rong turned around and smiled charmingly, "I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers that I brought back some people from Jinling. I spent a lot of money to get them. I have been busy these days and have not taken care of them. I finally bought them back, so how can I ignore them? So Your Majesty, please be busy first, I will go and see them and come back."
Qu Yunmie: “…………”＊
For those alien mercenaries, they were really unlucky.
They originally thought that they had only accepted a small mission to protect officials, but the situation took a turn for the worse that night. In the past few days, they had experienced life-threatening situations, escaped for their lives, and inexplicably ended up in the Zhenbei Army, which was the most brutal in killing Hu people, and were finally placed under house arrest.
How tragic it is.
Some of them wanted to escape, especially when King Zhenbei had just been injured. Everyone was paying attention to him and no one cared about them. That was the best time to escape. But just as one of them was about to escape with horses and goods, a young general over there narrowed his eyes, bent down to pick up the dead man's weapon on the ground, and then threw it over here. The man who wanted to escape was killed without even a scream.
Although mercenaries are people who don't care about life and death, it doesn't mean that they are seeking death.
No one dared to escape afterwards, and they all followed the King of Zhenbei in silence. They clearly remembered that the person who paid them to do so was the civil servant named Xiao Rong. Perhaps things were not so hopeless, at least the civil servant would not kill people easily.
But they soon found out that they were too naive, because although it was Xiao Rong who hired them, Xiao Rong's mind was full of how to take care of Qu Yunmie and he had no time to arrange these mercenaries. He directly handed all these people over to Yu Shaocheng, the young general who stabbed their colleague to death with one knife.
Mercenaries: “…”
After years of wandering around, retribution finally found them.
During these days, Xiao Rong did not ask about the whereabouts of these people. When he found Yu Shaocheng, Yu Shaocheng took him to their residence, which was in an empty house near the military camp, next to the livestock shed.
Xiao Rong: “…”
They walked in with their noses pinched, and when they saw Xiao Rong show up, although these burly men did not burst into tears, a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes, as if Xiao Rong was no longer their employer, but their savior.
He turned around and looked at Yu Shaocheng, who also looked at him innocently. ... Forget it, don't delve into it.
Xiao Rong really couldn't stand the smell here, so he took these people out. Nearby was the Zhenbei Army's garrison. Xiao Rong took a look into the barracks, and then said to these dark and neat people: "I hired you because I felt the undercurrents in Jinling. It seems that you didn't make any contribution in protecting me."
Mercenaries: Indeed, with the King of Zhenbei here, who can steal the credit from him?
Then, Xiao Rong changed the subject: "But you did not desert, and you protected the baggage and goods I gave you. This is enough to prove that you are all trustworthy heroes. What do you think?"
The group of people looked at each other.
We have been in the Central Plains for a long time and are quite familiar with the Central Plains dialect. It seems that "hero" is not a good word, right? Aren't the two words "hero" usually followed by "spare my life"?
But Xiao Rong didn't look like he was mocking them. The group of people looked at each other and finally chose someone to respond.
The man nodded to Xiao Rong: "Thank you for the compliment, Lord Xiao." Xiao Rong looked at him.
He asked Zhang Biezhi to hire mercenaries from various tribes, and each tribe had no more than five people. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for them to unite. However, in just a few days, this person was able to convince everyone else of himself, which showed that he had some ability.
He asked, "What is your name and what tribe are you from?"
The man replied: "My name is Di Fa Zeng, and I am from Rouran."
Xiao Rong coughed violently several times and almost coughed out his lungs.
Yu Shaocheng hurried forward and patted him on the back. He was very confused. He had never heard that Mr. Xiao had a cough. He was fine before, so why did he suddenly start coughing? Brother is still the best. His health has never been a cause for concern. ...
Xiao Rong waved his hand, asking Yu Shaocheng to stop taking pictures. After finally calming down, Xiao Rong looked at Di Fazeng calmly: "Oh, so you are a Rouran. What's your name?"
There was no need to ask everyone's name, but Xiao Rong was a little scared now. He didn't want others to see his emotions, so he could only use this method to cover it up.
——Di Fazeng, the founder of the Rouran Empire, was the first person to change the Rouran Khan system into an imperial system. He became the Rouran Khan at the age of 32, was crowned emperor at the age of 35, and began to expand to the northwest at the age of 36. He destroyed Gaoche, Qigu, Wusun, and Dayuan. When his territory was the largest, he even took part of Eastern Europe. The Lake Baikal in the future and the Yusini Sea at this moment were all part of the territory of the Rouran Empire for 120 years until the empire was destroyed by other nomadic peoples.
Xiao Rong listened to others introducing themselves with a smile on his face, but his heart was filled with tears with every word.
This is not someone they can accept... This is a big boss among big bosses! Zhang Biezhi, it's such a simple task, but you actually got me into trouble! ! You wait, I will clean up the mess for Jian Qiao tonight! ! !
