Chapter 0091 Tenderness
The next morning, Xiao Rong changed into some fresh clothes, then walked out of his tent and walked towards the king's tent where Qu Yunmie was.
Gao Xunzhi and Agusega were standing in the open space and talking. Seeing this, they both shut their mouths at the same time. They didn't come to their senses until Xiao Rong lifted the curtain and went in with a normal expression.
Agusega didn't understand: "Didn't they have a quarrel?"
Gao Xunzhi: "…We don't understand what's going on between young people."
Not only Agusega and Gao Xunzhi were shocked, but also the doctors, guards, and Dongfang Jin who were waiting in Qu Yunmie's tent.
The doctor came to change the dressing for Qu Yunmie, and the guards served as servants, sweeping the floor, pouring water, wiping the table, etc. Dongfang Jin was talking to the half-lying Qu Yunmie when he heard footsteps. He turned around and saw that it was Xiao Rong. He was very surprised: "Mr. Xiao!"
But thinking of some gossip he heard last night, Dongfang Jin quickly put away the smile on his face. He honestly clasped his fists towards Xiao Rong and said, "My humble servant greets you, Mr. Xiao. You must have worked hard on the journey."
Xiao Rong glanced at him and said, "Travel by boat? I didn't take a boat or a carriage. I came here on horseback."
Dongfang Jin was stunned. He didn't understand why Xiao Rong emphasized this point, but he still followed his words and said, "That's even harder. From Chenliu to Shengle, it's nearly two thousand miles. Even a strong person may not be able to make it. I admire Mr. Xiao."
After hearing this, Xiao Rong smiled at him and said, "It seems that there are also people in the Zhenbei Army who can speak human language."
Dongfang Jin: “…”
Qu Yunmie: “…”
Dongfang Jin didn't even dare to turn his head. As a rare general with high emotional intelligence, he knew who Xiao Rong was implying as soon as he heard it.
But it didn't seem appropriate to just stand there. After a moment of silence, he turned back and tried to be humble and submissive: "My King——"
Qu Yunmie: "Get lost."
Dongfang Jin: "Yes, sir."
After saying that, he left without looking back, but he still had a conscience. Before leaving, he secretly made a gesture to the guards. Upon seeing this, the guards quickly put down what they were holding and followed him out one after another.
Ever since Dongfang Jin showed an impatient look to leave, Xiao Rong's face had darkened. He stared at the backs of these people, and they all felt uneasy and didn't dare to look at him. After they all left, Xiao Rong suddenly turned his head and looked at the military doctor who was carrying the medicine box on his shoulder.
Military doctor: “…………”
He slowly put the half-carried medicine box strap on his shoulder, and then, as if he was worried about disturbing something, he said in a very low voice: "I... I'll go see General Yu..."
Xiao Rong didn't say anything, so he took a tentative step forward. Then another step. And another step.
Just when Xiao Rong thought he was going to take another small step, the military doctor ran out in a flash, just like in cartoons. Xiao Rong could even see a trail of dust after he left the king's tent.
Xiao Rong: “…”
He muttered quietly, "He's quite a runner."
Qu Yunmie on the bed added: "When it comes to a matter of life and death, everyone can run."
Xiao Rong turned his head and saw Qu Yunmie looking at him. Judging from his complexion, he looked no different from yesterday. Qu Yunmie was waiting for how he would stab him. But Xiao Rong looked at him for a while, then walked to the long table beside him. He sat down by himself. Just as he was about to pick up the military newspaper on the table, Xiao Rong frowned and shouted, "Someone come."
After a brief shove, a rather cowardly guard was pushed in. …
Xiao Rong ordered him, "Make me a chair and two tables, a square table for eating and a long table for work. Also, get me two pieces of leather, one for the floor and one for the chairs. Also, a tea stove, hand guards, incense, and a new set of four treasures for the study. This inkstone has cracks, so I won't use it. By the way, I don't like meat for breakfast, so just cook me a bowl of porridge and some side dishes."
The guard stared at him blankly. Seeing that he did not move, Xiao Rong's face showed signs of impending disaster: "Why, didn't you remember?"
The guard was startled, stood up straight and shouted: "Remember!"
The guards ran out to get what Xiao Rong wanted, while Xiao Rong lowered his head again and continued to open today's military newspaper.
Qu Yunmie: “…”
He was completely ignored. Xiao Rong sat upright with his back to him. Qu Yunmie watched his movements and then pursed his lips silently.
Yesterday, Xiao Rong said that he would learn from the lesson and always stay by his side in the future. Xiao Rong has always been a person with strong execution ability, so after a good sleep, he immediately fulfilled his promise.
In contrast, he didn't care about anything beyond his promise. The two of them had a quarrel yesterday and parted unhappily. Xiao Rong didn't want to pay attention to him, so even though they were living under the same roof, he still ignored him.
This kind of attitude that clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs makes people itch, really...
Ever since Xiao Rong came in, Qu Yunmie's back had unconsciously tensed up, but at this moment, his body suddenly relaxed.
As his center of gravity dropped, the cushion behind him sank a little bit more. He looked at Xiao Rong's meticulously done hair crown and suddenly smiled with some relief.
Soon the guards brought everything Xiao Rong wanted. After breakfast, Xiao Rong asked them to spread a bear skin on the ground, and then put a taller long table on it. The new table was placed at the edge opposite to the bed, far away from Qu Yunmie, but he could check on his condition anytime and anywhere.
After these people left, others came soon after.
Yuan Baifu and Gongsun Yuan came to visit Qu Yunmie and found that the furnishings in the king's tent had changed. Yuan Baifu was stunned for a moment, but Gongsun Yuan didn't notice what had changed at all. He was just wondering why Yuan Baifu didn't move forward.
Xiao Rong sat on a soft fox fur chair with a thick cotton blanket on his legs. There were cotton products nowadays, but they were very rare. The merchant caravans from Kucha brought a lot of them to sell, and Xiao Rong was one of their biggest financiers. Xiao Rong was always afraid of the cold, so before he set off this time, Ashu brought him a blanket.
On the left hand side is a bubbling tea stove, on the right hand side is a small brass incense burner with a curved line of white smoke floating up, in the middle are the four treasures of the study requisitioned from other allies, and on the upper right side is a satin hand guard.
Xiao Rong was living a refined life here, and over there, their king was lying on the wrinkled bed with half of his arms bare. …
