Chapter 0090 Warning (Rewrite)
You don't owe me. You don't owe me. You don't owe me. …
This was the sentence Xiao Rong thought about the most when Qu Yunmie was unconscious.
He needed to use these words to persuade himself so that he would not resent Qu Yunmie. The near-death experience was like a hammer, which made him see stars, but it also made him suddenly enlightened. He suddenly remembered some forgotten things, just like the routine of some art films, where the protagonist loses his memory and then hits his head, and he remembers everything.
After waking up from the false warm illusion, he remembered why he came here, and also remembered that not only Qu Yunmie made a promise to him, but he also made promises to others. He kept staring at Qu Yunmie who had made a mistake, but did not realize that the person who actually made a mistake was himself.
For two days, he did nothing but quietly watched Qu Yunmie thinking, thinking about what he was doing and what to do next. …
Qu Yunmie looked very excited, which was actually not a good thing, because he was still seriously injured and had just woken up. Even after resting for an afternoon, he was still very weak. Xiao Rong really shouldn't have argued with him at this time. He should have said some persuasive words and let him go back and have a good rest.
But Xiao Rong didn't, because he felt that this was the best time. After being hit by the heavy hammer, he woke up, so should Qu Yunmie. Although he felt a little pain in his heart when he saw Qu Yunmie's unacceptable eyes, four words flashed through his mind. I am not wrong either. *
After Qu Yunmie asked that question, he was silent for a long time because he was looking at Xiao Rong's expression. After all, it was he who made Xiao Rong worry, and no matter how stubbornly Qu Yunmie insisted on his statement, he always felt indebted to Xiao Rong.
He wanted to know if Xiao Rong was serious, and what exactly he wanted to say. To hurt him? To get back at him? Or...he really meant it.
But Xiao Rong didn't look into his eyes. He avoided looking at him, which made Qu Yunmie suddenly feel a sense of luck.
Qu Yunmie said in a deep voice: "Such a lie is not credible even if it comes from your mouth. Do you think that I just woke up not long ago and my brain is not active yet, so I might be deceived by you?"
Xiao Rong frowned: "I didn't lie to you, why would I lie to you about something like this."
Qu Yunmie curled his fingers slightly aside and tried his best to remain calm. Just as Luo Wu said, he didn't want to make the situation worse because of his personality.
Qu Yunmie stared at him, and suddenly, he said: "Is this your statement about not wanting to owe favors to others? You don't want to owe me favors, so you don't want me to owe you favors, but Xiao Rong——"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Xiao Rong shaking his head.
Qu Yunmie was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Xiao Rong explain to him slowly: "I really don't want to owe you a favor, but you have never owed me. From the beginning, I came to you and I was loyal to you. You are the King of Zhenbei, and I am your staff and minister. It is my duty to do anything for you, and you don't need to feel guilty about me. As a minister, I should solve everything for you. It's a pity that even if I encountered this matter this time, I didn't have a good solution. Now this result is a blessing in disguise, and the king should also look at it in a positive light."
Qu Yunmie was so angry that he laughed: "Just let it go."
He was repeating Xiao Rong's words again. He was like a child who seemed to find it very interesting to imitate a parrot. Children like to repeat what adults say because they don't understand and find it very interesting, so they repeat it again and again.
Qu Yunmie repeated Xiao Rong's words because he did not understand, but he could not appreciate the slightest fun in these words. He only felt that Xiao Rong was more powerful than the cold arrow shot from the dark. The cold arrow made him feel burning pain, but Xiao Rong made him feel as if all the blood vessels in his body were frozen.
A wound somewhere on his body seemed to have opened up, and every soft spot was rubbing against the hard cloth. The bright red texture inside was like another bloody mouth, screaming in pain, but Qu Yunmie ignored it.
He just repeated Xiao Rong's words again: "Let it go? So you came all the way here just to make me let it go? Xiao Rong, you may not know one thing, I let it go very much. The Xianbei insulted my parents, so I had to beat them. I knew it was a trick, but I still went. I was ambushed only because I was not careful enough, not because I did anything wrong. So you see, I let it go very much, but you, have you let it go?"
Xiao Rong raised his eyes. Qu Yunmie looked at him almost provocatively, but only he himself knew how cowardly he was. He was not here to quarrel, nor to make Xiao Rong angrier. But now he hoped that Xiao Rong would have a big quarrel with him, and not talk to him so rationally. Show a little... show a little bit of concern and worry for him, okay?
Don't just be disappointed, don't just be rational, he can't stand it.
Qu Yunmie's request was simple and straightforward, and it was clearly written on his face. Xiao Rong looked at his pale face and his eyelids that kept trembling because of his unstable mood. Xiao Rong thought for a moment and said, "I really haven't let it go yet."
Qu Yunmie's expression had just changed slightly when he heard Xiao Rong continue, "I thought this war would go smoothly, but I underestimated the enemy's viciousness and the importance of the king in this world. I have stayed in Chenliu for too long, and indulged in my comfort zone, forgetting that there are still many dangers outside, but I will not do this again. I plan to hand Chenliu over to Song Suo. In the future, I will always be by the king's side. If something similar happens again, I will still do my best. As for whether the king can do it, I will not force it."
If it were in the past, when Qu Yunmie heard Xiao Rong's request to stay with him all the time, he would be so happy that he couldn't sleep at night. But today, when he heard it, the muscles on Qu Yunmie's face suddenly tensed up.
His jaw moved slowly, as if he was trying hard to endure something.
The next moment, his roar seemed to carry the smell of blood as he pounced towards Xiao Rong.
"Xiao... Rong!!!"
The loud thunder frightened Zhang Biezhi outside so much that his hands began to tremble and the chopsticks in his hand immediately flew into the sky. He quickly stretched out his hands to grab them like a juggler and even accidentally completed a difficult acrobatic move.
Jian Qiao: “…………”
He lowered his voice and scolded, "Stop it! If the king finds out, you'll be in big trouble!"
Zhang Biezhi felt very aggrieved: "I didn't do it on purpose..."
Yu Shaoxie: "I just wanted to ask, why are you standing here holding a pair of chopsticks?"
Yu Shaocheng, who was leaning against Yu Shaoxie, yawned: "Compared to this, I want to know what the point of us standing here is. Apart from the roar of the king, I haven't heard anything."
Yu Shaoxie was about to answer him when Gao Xunzhi, who was standing in front of him and eavesdropped, became furious: "Whoever speaks again, get out of here!"
Everyone: “…………”
These people were silent, because no matter how they joked, even Yu Shaocheng, who was the last one to get involved in this, didn't want to leave like this, they still needed a result. *
Inside the tent, Qu Yunmie stood up again. This time he stood in the center of the tent, but he was no longer leaning against the roof of the tent.
Xiao Rong looked up at him, furious at every word he said: "I know, I fell into a trap and almost died at the hands of the Xianbei people. I almost didn't do what I promised you. You are angry with me, I understand. But can you also think about me? I had no choice! If I could, I would not break my promise. They-they stole the bones of my parents, what else do you want me to do?! Am I going to watch and endure it, and let them hang my mother's bones on the wall in broad daylight!"
There was a little color on Qu Yunmie's face, but he looked even worse because he was angry and there was a lot of sweat on his head. He felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't tell Xiao Rong.
Xiao Rong stared at the spot between his eyebrows, where a drop of cold sweat slowly flowed down. It fell on the tear trough and looked like a tear shed by Qu Yunmie.
But Qu Yunmie could not shed tears. He was the typical man who would bleed but not cry. No matter whether he was panicked, embarrassed, or anxious, his way of dealing with it was to get furious and vent his emotions with anger. However, Xiao Rong was very powerful to make him show such a terrifying expression.
No matter who was eavesdropping outside, he would probably be scared silly for a while, but Xiao Rong still had the mood to observe Qu Yunmie's expression, and then he slowly stood up.
He did not answer Qu Yunmie's question, but asked him something else: "After being awake for so long, have you asked other people about what happened recently?"
Qu Yunmie's expression froze for a moment. No, he didn't ask. After Xiao Rong escaped from his shackles, his mind was full of how to make Xiao Rong angry. He didn't ask anything.
Xiao Rong smiled, and his expression seemed to say, see, I knew it.
Qu Yunmie's expression became increasingly stiff, because he realized that he had already lost from the moment Xiao Rong asked him this question.
