Xiao Rong asked him softly, "Qu Yunmie, why are you always so self-righteous?"
The muscles in Qu Yunmie's neck twitched.
Xiao Rong took a deep breath, and then looked at Qu Yunmie again: "Have you ever thought about one thing? It was only five days since you were injured, or even less than five days, to be exact, four and a half days, why was I able to get here so quickly?"
Qu Yunmie was startled and noticed that he had a confused look on his face, so Xiao Rong asked again: "Look at me, have you noticed that I am different from before?"
Qu Yunmie's eyes pierced Xiao Rong like a needle. Those who didn't know would think that he was going to kill Xiao Rong, but those who knew him knew that he was just panicking.
After a moment of silence, giving him room to think and react, Xiao Rong slowly said, "Let me think about you, Qu Yunmie. I tell you, I did. For two whole days, I sat beside you and kept thinking about it. The reason you didn't die in my hands is because I had thought about it in advance. Now it's my turn to ask you, have you thought about me?"
"I avenged my parents and took back your mother's bones. In your eyes, I am such a selfish person that I am angry with you for this. People in the world have many misunderstandings about me, and the same is true for you, but I thought at least you understood me. Don't you really understand why I am angry?"
Qu Yunmie's mind was in a mess. When he heard Xiao Rong say that he had been here for two days, it was as if two cymbals suddenly collided in his mind. At this time, Xiao Rong asked him the same question again. After a long time, he finally reacted and answered: "...Because I fell into the enemy's trap."
Xiao Rong was not surprised by this answer, but he still laughed out loud when he heard it.
Qu Yunmie looked at him uneasily, and the five people who were eavesdropping outside the door also grabbed the corners of their clothes anxiously.
Xiao Rong: "I know what kind of person you are, but you don't seem to know what kind of person I am. I'm not that arrogant even to myself. People make mistakes when they are alive. Moreover, this matter is not your fault at all. It's the enemy who is too despicable. But what I can't accept is that you clearly promised me, and you also knew that the enemy wanted to lure you out, so why... why! Why did you leave the army!"
Three consecutive "whys" left Qu Yunmie speechless.
At this time, Xiao Rong smiled again. If Yu Shaoxie was here, he would find that this was the same expression Xiao Rong showed him in the afternoon: "You can't answer, but I know, because you are used to it. The battlefield is your personal battlefield. Others are either your enemies or your burdens. You rely on your martial arts to rush forward without caring about your life, and it is also because you really don't care about your life."
Xiao Rong took a step forward, and the distance between him and Qu Yunmie narrowed a little. He lowered his voice again, but this time his tone was extremely serious: "Then who am I? I am obsessed with your life, wouldn't it look ridiculous?"
Qu Yunmie's eyes were dyed scarlet. He also looked at Xiao Rong, but he couldn't say a word. ——Dang. ——Bang!
Outside the tent, Jian Qiao wanted to strangle Zhang Biezhi to death: "Put down your damn chopsticks!!"
Zhang Biezhi felt wronged and scared, but if he threw it out now, there would still be noise, so he simply stuffed it into his chest, ensuring that it would never fall again, and then he nodded firmly to the others.
Everyone: “…”
Zhang Biezhi knew that all the scoldings he had endured from Sen*wan*zheng*li over the years were truly not in vain.
They nervously looked back at the quiet curtain, but there was no movement.
Xiao Rong and Qu Yunmie inside heard the noise coming from outside. Xiao Rong guessed that someone must be eavesdropping outside, but he lowered his eyes and ignored it; and Qu Yunmie was no longer able to care about anything else.
Qu Yunmie opened his mouth again and again before finally speaking: "I don't care..."
He now has a lot of things to do. He knows that someone is waiting for him in Chenliu. He even...even experienced what regret is after being shot by an arrow!
He doesn't care, no!
But these words were so pale. He said he didn't not care, but what did he do? He was so angry that he didn't care at all. Not to mention Xiao Rong, he didn't even remember himself and his mother. He easily fell into the enemy's trap and completely forgot about the living and the dead. He turned into a killing machine, but he didn't know that he was not a machine, he was a human, and humans will die.
Qu Yunmie couldn't explain any more. His throat was blocked and his body still hurt, but his heart also hurt. The feeling of regret attacked him again. This surging and sharp feeling made him close his eyes uncontrollably.
He said hoarsely, "I was wrong."
"I was wrong……"
"I know I was wrong, Rong, I won't make the same mistake again."
Xiao Rong pursed his lips, but just shook his head gently at Qu Yunmie: "I am not you. I learn from my mistakes. I was wrong, and I really won't make the same mistake again."
Qu Yunmie felt as if his body was about to collapse after hearing these words. He felt abandoned, not by Xiao Rong, but by everyone. He looked at Xiao Rong with red eyes, but Xiao Rong no longer looked at him. He just stared at the shadow on the ground that was elongated by the light, and then said in a hard voice: "My king, please take care. Please have a good rest these few days. When your injury is healed, we still need to settle accounts with the Xianbei."
Xiao Rong waited silently. He understood Qu Yunmie, but not completely. Just like at this moment, he guessed that Qu Yunmie was more likely to be playing tricks and was unwilling to leave, and Xiao Rong was also prepared to deal with it.
But Qu Yunmie did not persist. He looked at Xiao Rong for a long time and found that he was no longer soft-hearted towards him. So Qu Yunmie turned around in a daze and walked out.
What he didn't know was that Xiao Rong had already raised his head since he turned around. He watched how Qu Yunmie took stiff steps, and then watched how Qu Yunmie raised his still trembling hand.
Xiao Rong looked and looked until he could no longer see it.
He fell back on the mat as if exhausted. The food beside him had already gone cold. But it didn't matter. Xiao Rong couldn't eat anything now. He began to repeat himself stubbornly in his heart, just like Qu Yunmie did before.
I am not wrong, I am not wrong. …*
The conversation inside was intermittent, and the people outside didn't hear much, but considering the context, they knew what was going on.
The five people stood next to each other, as awkwardly as a string of candied haws, and Qu Yunmie walked past them without any reaction.
Zhang Biezhi didn't dare to breathe. He just watched Qu Yunmie leave silently. For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
But in the final analysis, this was someone else's business, and it was also the King's business that he had never really cared about, so the sadness was fleeting, and he soon returned to normal, and then whispered to Jian Qiao beside him: "The poison in the King didn't affect his eyes, or his brain?"
Jian Qiao: “…………”
He turned his head slowly, and what saved Zhang Biezhi was Gao Xunzhi's words: "Jian Qiao, you guard the king tonight."
Jian Qiao endured the itching of his fist and replied "yes" in a muffled voice. But before leaving, he retaliated by bumping Zhang Biezhi's shoulder, making him grimace in disbelief, but he didn't dare to scream.
After that, Gao Xunzhi walked towards Xiao Rong's tent. Yu Shaoxie's heart tightened, and he suddenly called him, "Prime Minister!"
He did not call him Mr. Gao. Prime Minister was the title Xiao Rong liked to use. Gao Xunzhi turned around and smiled at Yu Shaoxie in a comforting way: "Don't worry."
Yu Shaoxie really stopped and no longer tried to stop him, but he kept watching Gao Xunzhi walk in with worry. Only when he could no longer see anything did he lower his head in disappointment.
At this time, Yu Shaocheng walked up to him. Yu Shaoxie raised his head and looked at his brother who had grown up to this age. He had forgotten when he grew up. "Why do I feel scared?"
Yu Shaocheng answered him: "Because you care about them too much."…………
