They are still very afraid of Qu Yunmie, so they have to wait until he dies before they fight back. They are so timid and fearful, yet they are willing to risk everything to use a vicious plan and risk being killed by Qu Yunmie to lure the enemy into a trap. This is not very reasonable.
The two attitudes seemed to be the result of two people's strategies. If the Xianbei people were so cruel, why was there no movement in the previous few months? The news that Qu Yunmie was going to attack the Xianbei had already appeared last year, and everyone knew it this year. Why didn't they use it before, but had to wait until the enemy was at the gates of the city? Aren't they afraid that the Zhenbei Army, which was so close to them, would not be demoralized after losing the King of Zhenbei, but would be so excited that they would directly flatten their Shengle City.
There was something wrong with the skeleton, Yuan Baifu sent people back to check and found that the tombs of General Qu and Chief Ishtar buried under Yanmen Mountain had indeed been dug up, and the people who dug them up were very careful, they filled the soil back up again, but there were traces on the dug tombs, and judging by the traces alone, it was done in the past few days. ... It was not dug up by the Xianbei people.
It is possible that the Xianbei secretly came in and dug up the bones. But if the Xianbei dug them up, why did they fill them up with soil? They were going to use the two skeletons soon, and even if they were discovered, the Zhenbei Army would not have time to remedy the situation. Yuan Baifu said that they filled the soil very carefully, and it seemed that they wanted to keep it a secret.
But the skeleton had already been delivered to the Zhenbei Army on the Mid-Autumn Festival, how could anyone not know about it.
So it must have been the Xianbei people who gave the order, and the Central Plains people... dug them out, but the Central Plains people didn't know what the Xianbei people wanted to do with them, so they still had the idea that they would not be discovered.
Perhaps it doesn't even need to be said that they are from the Central Plains, they are people from Yanmen County, or even people from the Zhenbei Army.
Half a year ago, the Zhenbei Army was a big sieve. Half a year later, the Zhenbei Army was still a big sieve.
But Xiao Rong didn't understand that digging up ancestral graves was the most despicable and abominable behavior for the people in the Central Plains at that time. Those who did such things would go to the eighteen levels of hell and receive the most severe punishment before and after death. Only a very vicious person would do such a thing.
Xiao Rong leaned against the log in the middle of the tent and was deep in thought. Just when he was about to think of something, Zhang Biezhi opened the curtain and walked in. "Mr. Xiao, it's time to eat. Tonight we're having roasted mutton again. The food in the army is rough. If you get tired of it, I'll go out and look for rabbit holes tomorrow."
Xiao Rong came back to his senses and took down all the military newspapers on the table. "Don't bother with that. I'll eat whatever everyone else eats. It's good enough that I can eat mutton. Half a year ago, I couldn't even eat meat."
Zhang Biezhi scratched his head. He was not very good at comforting people. The only few methods he knew were used to coax his sister. But to be honest, his sister was much easier to coax than Xiao Rong.
Putting the food down, Zhang Biezhi set the table for Xiao Rong. Now that Ashu stayed in Chenliu, he took over these tasks on his own initiative.
Yu Shaoxie and Jian Qiao acted as if Xiao Rong was now like a dark cloud, who knew when he would be struck by thunder and punishment from heaven. However, Zhang Biezhi felt that Xiao Rong was fine now, at least better than before. Look how kind he was, and he even invited him to sit down and eat with him.
Of course Zhang Biezhi sat down immediately, and just as he moved his chopsticks, he saw Xiao Rong opposite him suddenly stop moving. He maintained the posture of holding the chopsticks, as if the dish had suddenly turned into the appearance of his enemy. He pursed his lips, and with a clang, he threw the chopsticks back on the table.
Zhang Biezhi was just wondering when he felt a cool breeze on his back. He turned around and saw the seriously injured king walking in slowly.
Except for the king's tent which has a height of nearly three meters, the other military tents are actually quite low. After all, everyone wants to save cloth. After all, it is a place to sleep, so there is no need to make it too high.
Xiao Rong came too hastily, so Jian Qiao built a temporary one for him, but it was temporary... and the materials used were not very good.
Xiao Rong almost hit the ceiling when he went in and out, and Qu Yunmie had to tilt his head to get in.
But Xiao Rong stared at him with his eyes, and there seemed to be no warmth in his eyes. Qu Yunmie originally took a step forward, but hesitated and took it back. He pursed his lips and stopped moving forward, but he didn't go out either. He just stood inside the curtain, sticking to the curtain. This was also the shortest place in the entire military tent.
Zhang Biezhi looked at Qu Yunmie's head that had made a small bulge in the military tent. He opened his mouth in amazement and finally remembered what Yu Shaoxie had said during the day.
Zhang Biezhi suddenly closed his mouth and stood up like lightning. He was still holding the chopsticks, but he might have forgotten about this. He clasped his fists with the chopsticks and said to Xiao Rong, "Brother-in-law has something to talk to me about. I have to go first. Mr. Xiao, eat slowly, eat slowly."
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Rong to answer him, he turned around and walked away. When he reached the curtain, he found Qu Yunmie blocking the way and it seemed he couldn't get through.
After a moment of silence, he turned sideways and slid half of his body out very slowly and smoothly. As everyone knows, if the upper body can pass, then the lower body can also pass. …
Zhang Biezhi successfully escaped. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurried to report the matter to his brother-in-law. In Xiao Rong's tent, both of them were silent for a while because of Zhang Biezhi's actions.
However, this scene, which is usually very funny, was so funny that neither of them could laugh at this moment.
Qu Yunmie paused and walked towards Xiao Rong. The place was small, and he was in front of Xiao Rong in just three steps. Xiao Rong looked at him with a stiff posture and slow steps. When he sat down, his back twitched twice.
Xiao Rong pursed his lips and turned his eyes to the other side. He asked coldly, "Why is the king here?"
At this time, Qu Yunmie had changed his clothes to cover all the wounds on his body, but there were still two circles of white cloth wrapped around his neck exposed. He didn't know it. He lowered his eyes and spoke in a better voice than when he just woke up: "You know I will come eventually."
After hearing this, Xiao Rong chuckled and said, "I don't know."
Qu Yunmie raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Rong's appearance at this moment. He pondered for a while before saying, "I know you are very disappointed in me now. I made a promise, but I almost didn't do it. You are right not to believe me. I am not as good as I think I am—"
Xiao Rong suddenly interrupted him: "I believe you."
Qu Yunmie was stunned: "What?"
Xiao Rong: "I also thought I didn't believe you, but the fact is, I did."
Qu Yunmie stared at him in a daze, his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't utter a word.
At this time Xiao Rong smiled at him again. His smile was very sarcastic, but he was actually mocking himself.
"So it's not you who is self-righteous, but I am. I have been very worried these days, but no matter how worried I was, I didn't do anything. I didn't come to you, nor did I tell you, because deep down in my heart I believed in you. I thought you would do it. You would value yourself, protect yourself, and come back to Chenliu well, just as you promised."
Qu Yunmie felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. Although he didn't know why he had such a horrible feeling, when Xiao Rong said that he really believed him, he felt as if he was already drowning under the water.
He uttered a syllable with difficulty: "I..."
At this time, Xiao Rong smiled at him quickly again: "It's okay."
Qu Yunmie looked at him blankly.
Xiao Rong said, "It's okay. I know this is not your fault. Just like everyone said, the Xianbei people held you hostage. No one can stand seeing their parents being humiliated. You just did what a son would do. I don't blame you, and you don't have to feel sorry for me. When weighing the two options, you must choose the more important one. Everyone will make this choice."
Qu Yunmie looked at him with his back straight. Actually, this movement was very painful for him, but it was better to feel some pain. If his body hurt, his heart would not hurt so much.
He looked at Xiao Rong, and Xiao Rong was also looking at him. Xiao Rong's expression was okay at this time, but Qu Yunmie's expression was tense, and his eyes were even red. He stared into Xiao Rong's eyes and listened to Xiao Rong's words as if he was torturing himself. He had to listen to the end.
Xiao Rong looked at his expression, paused for two or three seconds, and then said the last sentence: "Qu Yunmie, you don't owe me anything, so don't worry about me."
Qu Yunmie looked at him steadily, then suddenly he bent his back and tightly grasped the table in front of him with one hand. He took several rapid breaths, and during this process, his fingers even slightly dug into the table.
Finally, he straightened up again, pulled the corner of his mouth, and repeated to Xiao Rong: "I don't owe you anything?"
Xiao Rong looked at his appearance, then lowered his eyes.

Good news, I will be back to Beijing tomorrow, with a flight in the afternoon, so I can spend the morning writing in the hotel!
