He said this simply because he was depressed, so he wanted to stab Yuan Baifu and tell him that he was not the only one who could win people's hearts. A troublemaker like Zhang Biezhi would behave himself when he was around Xiao Rong. You can't compare to him at all.
But this was just his wishful thinking. Yuan Baifu didn't understand what he meant by this. When he found out that Yuan Baifu didn't understand, he became even more depressed.
Fortunately, Jian Qiao behaved much more normally afterwards. He was only a little excited when he first saw Yuan Baifu. Later, he remembered what the important matter was and stopped paying attention to Yuan Baifu's affairs. Qu Yunmie did not notice anything abnormal about Jian Qiao from beginning to end. He strode into the palace. This place where he had lived for two years now looked so strange.
Qu Yunmie paused, then walked towards his own bedroom.
Yuan Baifu walked beside him and said to Qu Yunmie, "We had it cleaned up early this morning. The king has only been gone for more than two months, but I didn't expect so much dust to accumulate."
Qu Yunmie: "It's just a short stay of five days. I told you long ago that there's no need to pack up. Let's just set up camp together in the army."
After a pause, he recalled what Yuan Baifu had just said, and continued, "Houses that are not occupied will soon become dilapidated. It's only been more than two months. In a few months, this place will be overgrown with weeds."
Yuan Baifu laughed: "The king even knows these things."
Qu Yunmie also laughed: "Xiao Rong told me that he was busy repairing the dilapidated houses in Chenliu City a few days ago. Just when one side was repaired, another side fell into disrepair. The wooden houses were better, but the thatched houses deteriorated the fastest. Xiao Rong had no choice but to sell all these houses, which brought him a lot of income."
Yuan Baifu looked at Qu Yunmie, who noticed it and frowned at him, "What are you doing?"
After pondering for a moment, Yuan Baifu said, "The king seems to be different from before."
Anyone who stayed with Qu Yunmie for a long time could feel the changes in him, let alone Yuan Baifu, who had been separated from him for several months. When Qu Yunmie heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled silently.
"You should say it's better than before. I know I was a jerk before. I didn't care about the people, and I didn't treat my subordinates well. After I came to Chenliu and started all over again, I realized how inadequate I was before."
Pursing his lips, he looked at Yuan Baifu seriously: "After defeating the Xianbei, I plan to let Gongsun Yuan stay here permanently. You and Wang Xinyong will come back to Chenliu with me, and I will let you see how prosperous Chenliu is now. After a period of rest, the garrisons in Chenliu and Yuzhou will be handed over to you. As for Wang Xinyong... let him go to Xuzhou. Ten years ago, he was stationed on the other side of the Huai River. Ten years later, he is still stationed on the bank of the Huai River. Haha, this can be regarded as a glorious return to his hometown."
Chenliu was the royal capital, and Yuzhou was the area surrounding the royal capital.
These two places are the most important places north of the Huai River and are also Qu Yunmiexin’s base camp.
If Wang Xinyong received this order, he would probably go crazy with joy, but when Yuan Baifu heard such an arrangement, he subconsciously lowered his eyes.
Garrisoning in Chenliu seems to be very important, but the prerequisite is that the King of Zhenbei does not know how to lead troops in battle.
Wherever Qu Yunmie was, even if he was given 200,000 troops stationed, what would that do? These troops were only his in name, but in reality they still belonged to Qu Yunmie, and even he himself belonged to Qu Yunmie.
Although thinking so, Yuan Baifu still smiled at Qu Yunmie and thanked him for giving him such an opportunity.
Qu Yunmie really didn't notice anything unusual, so he asked Yuan Baifu to call everyone else so that they could discuss when to start the war.
At the same time, in an inconspicuous family in Xiakou.
Xiakou is a city with little presence. It is located on the bank of the Yangtze River. To the north is the big city of Jiangxia County, to the west is the contentious Jingzhou, to the east are the wealthy Lujiang and Wuchang counties. Xiakou is sandwiched between these big guys. It is always a place where others pass by, and no one will stay in this place.
But if you think about it from another angle, you will find that although Xiakou has little presence, it is well connected, convenient to go anywhere, and close to the Yangtze River, it is very suitable for water transportation.
In that inconspicuous family, there was a person who realized the excellent location of Xiakou, but this person was lying sick in bed, looking at the cloudy sky outside the window, and he couldn't help but sigh. Xizhu...his Xizhu!
His beautiful, yet cruel Xizhu!
He bought her for eight years and provided her with good food, drink and clothes. He had been refraining from taking action against Xi Zhu because he wanted to wait for her to complete her mission and prove her worth as an assassin. He planned to take Xi Zhu back immediately and make her his concubine.
But who could have thought...she would die so soon! Damn Yang Zangyi, he even said it was all Xizhu's fault, she was exposed right from the start, how could it be possible? ! Xizhu was the most capable assassin he had bought, which man could not be fascinated by her!
But it was too late to say anything now. Xizhu was already dead, and Yang Zangyi was still blaming him and trying to kill him. When he thought of this, he was so angry that his teeth were itching. He even wanted to blame Yang Zangyi! He had killed his assassin, but he hadn't done the job!
It was inexplicable. Yang Zangyi hired Xi Zhu to kill Sun Renluan, but why did he change his mind and kill Xiao Rong? Was it because he thought too highly of Xiao Rong, or was it because he thought too little of Xi Zhu? ...It must be the latter! !
It was bad, and my heart ached even more. His Xizhu—he had been wailing these days. Fortunately, he had stopped wailing recently. The people outside didn’t hear any movement inside, so they thought he was not busy, and ran in quickly and said, “Master, the spies from Yanmen County reported that the King of Zhenbei has arrived in Yanmen County.”
Suddenly, the man sat up from the bed, not looking like the resentful husband at all. He asked, "Any news about Shengle?"
"not yet."
He asked again: "What about Chenliu?"
“Neither do I.”
He was angry: "Why is there no news! I——"
Halfway through his speech, he got out of bed in annoyance: "Forget it, what's the point of telling you all this. Wasn't there a scholar who came to seek refuge a few days ago? What was his name?"
"Call Zhou Liang, Master, you said you want to leave him alone."
The leader snorted coldly, "No need to wait any longer! There is no news anywhere, I can't wait any longer! Doesn't this man have a grudge against Xiao Rong? It just so happens that I also have a grudge against Xiao Rong. If he dares to kill my Xi Zhu... then let's exchange one life for another!"
He spoke with great righteousness, but the person opposite him looked embarrassed.
"What's that expression on your face?"
The person opposite: "Well, I was just thinking, if Madam Xilan knew about this..."
Leader: “…”
"Why don't you just not tell her?! Hurry up and get me some clothes. This damn weather is getting colder day by day!"
