Chapter 0089 You Don’t Owe Me
Xiao Rong left the big tent and just as he lifted the curtain, he heard faint voices outside. The people who were talking noticed the movement behind them, and they all turned around.
Yu Shaoxie and Gao Xunzhi were whispering to each other about something, and when they saw Xiao Rong coming out, they showed simultaneous surprise.
"Arong?"/"Rong'er?"
Then, they thought about what Xiao Rong's unusual appearance meant, and Gao Xunzhi asked hurriedly: "The king -"
Before he could finish his question, Xiao Rong nodded calmly and said to him, "He's awake. Prime Minister, please go in quickly, or else something will happen inside."
After saying that, he walked in one direction. Gao Xunzhi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't bother to ask him where he was going. He quickly opened the curtain and went in to see what was going on. Yu Shaoxie shook his head like a rattle. He looked at the big tent in a tangled manner, then at Xiao Rong who had already walked away, and finally chased after Xiao Rong. ...
Inside the king's tent, Gao Xunzhi finally understood why Xiao Rong asked him to come in quickly.
Because Qu Yunmie was such a stubborn guy, he was actually struggling to get out of bed.
He had to take a breath for each movement. When he was shot, he pulled out the arrow himself. Although the soldiers saw that he was injured, they were unable to approach him for a while. In the end, he himself tore a gap among the densely packed enemies who gathered together as if they had smelled blood, and successfully escaped.
The Xianbei people came prepared. They issued death orders to their troops, telling them not to worry about anything and to save Qu Yunmie's life. Therefore, although it was the arrow wound on his collarbone that almost killed Qu Yunmie, it did not mean that it was the only wound on his body.
The Xianbei people were determined to kill him. No matter how powerful Qu Yunmie was, he could not escape unscathed from the thousands of ferocious faces.
Although Xiao Rong had already said that Qu Yunmie would wake up, Gao Xunzhi would not be at peace until he woke up. Now, watching him open his eyes and move again, Gao Xunzhi fell silent for a moment. He felt his heart slowly falling down, but it did not hit the ground. It just maintained a height that would not break into pieces, and it was hanging down.
Gao Xunzhi suppressed his emotions, pursed his lips, and then quickly walked to Qu Yunmie. He scolded: "What are you doing?! Go back and lie down!"
Qu Yunmie frowned. He didn't look at Gao Xunzhi, but looked in the direction of the curtain. "Xiao Rong left. I'll go find him."
Gao Xunzhi was convinced: "How can you find him in this state?"
Qu Yunmie: "Why can't I find it? It's not like my leg is broken."
As he was about to stand up, Gao Xunzhi was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He looked at Qu Yunmie staggeringly as he stood up, and suddenly said, "If you want to piss Xiao Rong off to death, then go find him."
Qu Yunmie paused, and turned to look at Gao Xunzhi, who sneered, "I was wrong. You know Xiao Rong's personality better than I do. You can't piss him off to death, but you will drive him away. Looking at you like this, you should know how much trouble you have caused this time. If you really know you are wrong, you should understand that Xiao Rong doesn't need your explanation at this time. He just wants you to recover from your injuries."
Qu Yunmie was silent for a long time, then sat down slowly.
He half-lay down on the bed again, and Gao Xunzhi came over with a cold face to cover him with the quilt, but halfway through, he heard Qu Yunmie say, "I'm not wrong."
Gao Xunzhi paused slightly in his movements, he raised his head and saw Qu Yunmie with his eyes downcast. His words were as stiff as ever, but his expression was even paler than when he was unconscious.
He opened his mouth, not knowing whether he was speaking to others or to himself: "I broke my promise, but I was not wrong."
After a long while, Gao Xunzhi seemed to have heard nothing. He continued to cover Qu Yunmie with the quilt in silence. After that, no one spoke.
Xiao Rong has been here for two days, but he has been staying in Qu Yunmie's tent the whole time and still doesn't know where his own tent is.
He walked very fast, but after walking a short distance, he stood in the middle at a loss, not knowing where to go.
Yu Shaoxie led him back to his military tent and pointed to a place outside. "That's the place Jian Qiao arranged for you to live. It has everything. Go back and have some sleep. You look like a dead man about to be buried in the ground."
Xiao Rong sat on the mat and took the teacup handed to him by Yu Shaoxie. He held the teacup and said slowly, "Some people are alive, but they are already dead."
Pah—Yu Shaoxie slapped his forehead: "What nonsense!"
“Ahem—”
Xiao Rong and Yu Shaoxie turned around together. Yu Shaoxie didn't say anything, but Xiao Rong was a little surprised: "Yu Shaocheng, why are you here?"
Looking at the white cloth wrapped around his neck, Xiao Rong was very surprised: "Were you also hit by a poisoned arrow?"
Still in the same position.
Yu Shaocheng: “…”
After coughing twice, Yu Shaocheng explained with a weak breath, "I was injured and can't go to the battlefield for the time being, so I'm staying here with my brother to recuperate."
Yu Shaoxie added expressionlessly, "The king tried his best to break out of the encirclement, but he fell off his horse not long after. He rescued the king. The battle was fierce at the time, and he was accidentally slashed by the king's Xueyinchou spear. That's why he was surrounded by white cloth."
Xiao Rong: “…………”
He was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, no one told me these two days."
Yu Shaoxie looked at him expressionlessly again.
Didn't anyone tell you? No one dared to tell you.
In the past two days, Xiao Rong has been inseparable from Qu Yunmie, and his expression is frighteningly cold. At the beginning, some people would advise him a word or two, but later they found that he turned a deaf ear to everything they said. Or maybe he really didn't hear anything, so everyone gradually fell silent and could only hope in their hearts that Qu Yunmie would wake up soon.
One by one, none of them is worry-free.
Xiao Rong's temperament changed drastically, and it looked like he wanted to kill a few people to liven up the atmosphere; while Yu Shaocheng was taking advantage of every opportunity. Although he was not seriously injured, when everyone's eyes were on the king, he knew he did not have the energy to argue with him about other things, so he just moved all his things to his own tent.
But compared to his biological brother, this non-biological brother of his is more troublesome.
Sighing in his heart, Yu Shaoxie said to Yu Shaocheng: "Cheng'er, the king has woken up. Go tell the generals to stop worrying."
Yu Shaocheng did not agree. He looked at Xiao Rong and then at Yu Shaoxie.
Yu Shaoxie: "...Why don't you go now?"
Yu Shaocheng had no choice but to say "oh".
After he left, Yu Shaoxie looked at Xiao Rong again, his tone much gentler than before: "Cheng'er is fine, he just wants to act like a spoiled child and let me coax him like when we were little. On the battlefield, after he handed the king to General Jian, he led his troops back. At that time, the Xianbei people were madly chasing the king, and no one cared about the watchtower. He snatched back the bones of the Ishtar chief, which is why the army was barely suppressed in the past few days. If the bones of the Ishtar chief were still in the hands of the Xianbei people, the current situation would be even worse."
Xiao Rong listened quietly, then nodded: "General Yu is loyal and worthy of the king's trust."
