Qu Yunmie: “…………”
He had never been so wronged in his life.
Looking at Xiao Rong helplessly, Qu Yunmie actually didn't want to explain, but he felt that if he didn't explain, Xiao Rong would still hold a grudge against him even if he sobered up tomorrow.
He could only tell the truth: "I really don't know why I am so sure, but seeing how you look tonight... I feel that I have to do this. I have to come back alive, otherwise you will hate me to the core."
Xiao Rong nodded vigorously: "Yes, if you die, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."
Qu Yunmie couldn't help laughing. This was the second time he heard Xiao Rong say this. Xiao Rong was very serious when he said it, but for some reason, he wanted to laugh every time he heard it. But after laughing, he would feel sour, numb and itchy in his heart, making him feel uneasy.
He explained to Xiao Rong why he knew he would not die outside, but he did not explain why he sighed.
The reason he sighed was that he suddenly had a premonition that attacking the Xianbei might be the last time in his life that he would risk his life regardless of the consequences.
Xiao Rong himself had no feeling. He thought his eyes were fierce, and he thought he was particularly mean to Qu Yunmie tonight. But if he looked in the mirror, he would find out how helpless and sticky his eyes were. Being looked at by him like this, Qu Yunmie almost wavered in his determination to attack the Xianbei.
He couldn't stand Xiao Rong like this, so he thought that he might not be able to do it again.
As the candle burned silently, Qu Yunmie covered Xiao Rong with a quilt and whispered to him that he would come back, he would win the battle, he would write to him every day to let him know that he was safe, and he would not let him down, never.
Regardless of whether these words could come true, at least for Xiao Rong at this moment, they did work. After Sen Wan had tidied up, Xiao Rong slowly lay down. He no longer looked at Qu Yunmie, and Qu Yunmie looked at his half-closed eyes. Suddenly, he also asked, "You didn't lie to me, did you?"
Xiao Rong raised his eyelids, not understanding what Qu Yunmie was talking about.
Qu Yunmie: "You told me to come back, so when I come back, will you wait for me here?"
Xiao Rong blinked twice slowly, then turned over as if annoyed, with his back facing Qu Yunmie, but before Qu Yunmie could say anything, he heard Xiao Rong make a muffled nasal sound.
"Um."…………
After coming out of Xiao Rong's room, Qu Yunmie returned to his residence alone. The moon was hanging relatively low before, but now it was at the zenith.
He had no idea how many times he had slept in the open air since he could remember, and he had so many memories related to the moon. He had killed people and traveled under the moonlight, and he had also lay on the ground under the tent, complaining that the moon was too bright or too dark.
But that will never happen again, because from now on, whenever he sees the moon, all he will remember is tonight and the person who danced with a sword for him.
He has to go on an expedition tomorrow, but he has no sleepiness now. If nothing unexpected happened, he might stand here for a long time, recalling that graceful and extraordinary figure over and over again in his mind, but the accident still happened.
The moonlight is very good tonight and Mi Jing couldn't sleep, so he came out with a lantern, wanting to find a clean place to meditate. However, it was so late and Qu Yunmie was standing in the middle of the road like a wooden stake. Mi Jing was only concerned with checking if there were any bugs under his feet and didn't notice that there was a person opposite him. If the lantern hadn't hit Qu Yunmie first, Mi Jing might have had a close contact with Qu Yunmie.
The thought of such a scene made both of them feel a chill.
Mi Jing: “…”
Qu Yunmie: “…”
In the silent night, only the chirping of crickets could be heard, and even the frogs had gone to find a place to sleep. The two men looked at each other for a moment, both following the same principle - if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move.
Finally, it was Qu Yunmie who broke the stalemate. He asked Mi Jing, "Would you like a drink?"
Mi Jing: “…………”＊
In the pavilion of the rockery, Mi Jing's lantern was placed on the stone table. Monks who have left home do not drink alcohol, and generals who go to war do not drink alcohol either, so what was placed between them was not a wine pot, but tea.
The night wind brought coolness, and the charcoal fire that originally made people feel hot now became a good thing for keeping warm.
Qu Yunmie was also the one who made the tea. He added the seasonings into it skillfully and checked the heat from time to time. He had a hot body and usually didn't like to drink this tea, but that didn't mean he didn't know how to make it. When Gao Xunzhi was a child, he was very busy, and it was the little boy who sat beside him and made tea for Gao Xunzhi.
This should be a rather pleasing scene. After all, the king is very handsome. When he puts on scholar's clothes, Xiao Rong can't take his eyes off him. When he does the scholar's hobby of boiling tea around the stove, his every move is full of charm.
But the person sitting opposite him was Mi Jing, so this couldn't be considered flirting with a blind man, but flirting with a blind bear. ...
Mi Jing looked at him silently. After a while, he suddenly said, "Your Majesty, you are in a good mood today."
Qu Yunmie glanced at him and said, "The expedition is imminent, and many years of hatred will be wiped out. Naturally, I am in a good mood."
Mi Jing smiled: "I see, I thought that Master Xiao said something considerate to the king again."
If it were someone else, they would probably be a little unhappy to hear Mi Jing speculate on their thoughts like this. But Qu Yunmie raised his head from the tea, he looked at Mi Jing for a while, and then the corners of his mouth curled up very proudly: "There is also this reason."
Mi Jing: “…”
Qu Yunmie: "But he didn't say anything to show consideration for me. He was very disrespectful to me tonight, but he has been disrespectful for a long time. Besides, even if he said disrespectful words, I can understand what he really wanted to express."
Mi Jing looked at him quietly.
Qu Yunmie stared at Mi Jing, and his originally kind expression gradually turned into one of suspicion.
Mi Jing: “…” That’s all.
He smiled again and said, "Oh? I wonder what Master Xiao wants to express?"
Qu Yunmie then snorted with an ambiguous laugh: "He is worried that something bad will happen to me on the battlefield, and he is reluctant to let me go to the battlefield. Alas, with such a weak and incapable staff member by my side, how can I leave with peace of mind?"
Mi Jing: “…………”
He looked at Qu Yunmie with a confused expression, feeling that he must have misunderstood something.
