Gao Xunzhi looked at him in surprise, and then he laughed out loud: "Arong, what makes you think I can persuade Yu Shaoxie to tidy up late? You said it's dangerous here, and now his two brothers are here, how can I take him away by force?"
Xiao Rong frowned: "I'm not his brother."
Gao Xunzhi chuckled: "I didn't say the other one was you."
Xiao Rong: “…”
Never mind, if you can't take him with you, then don't take him with you. Xiao Rong's main goal is to get Gao Xunzhi to leave, and as for Yu Shaoxie... it's fine for him to stay.
Xiao Rong wanted Gao Xunzhi and the others to rest for another day, but Gao Xunzhi was more anxious than Xiao Rong. With Xiao Rong in charge of the army, he had nothing to worry about. Chenliu had been under the control of Song Suo for several days, and Gao Xunzhi was afraid that he had offended everyone he could, so he planned to leave at night.
Xiao Rong handed the letters he wrote to Gao Xunzhi, one to Song Suo and one to Fuzi. Behind Gao Xunzhi was Zhang Biezhi, who looked depressed. Agusejia did not go back. She is now in the wounded camp. She herself has been a military doctor for many years. She thought she could take a rest this time, but since she was here, she might as well continue to do her old job.
After Mr. Gao left, Jian Qiao and the others came to see him off. Qu Yunmie also wanted to go, but Xiao Rong wouldn't let him. So he could only lie on the bed and stare at Wang Xin, who was sent to guard him.
Wang Xinyong: “…”
Since Mr. Xiao arrived at the military camp, his popularity has skyrocketed, but to be honest, he still misses the time when he was not valued. …
At dusk, above the withered yellow grassland, under the colorful clouds tinged with deep blue and orange, Xiao Rong stood in front of the military camp and watched the two people leave. The vast wilderness stretched the separation to infinity. After a long time, Xiao Rong finally could not see the two little horses anymore. With his head lowered, Xiao Rong watched quietly.
Jian Qiao had been standing beside him the whole time. Seeing this, he wanted to comfort Xiao Rong: "Mr. Xiao——"
At this moment, Xiao Rong suddenly raised his head with energy. He turned around to look at the people behind him, taking a look at their expressions one by one.
Jian Qiao was worried, Yu Shaoxie was calm, Yu Shaocheng was a little impatient, Yuan Baifu was thoughtful, and Gongsun Yuan had already turned and left.
Xiao Rong: “…” What a joyful departure.
It doesn’t matter. Xiao Rong smiled slightly at the remaining people, and his eyes were filled with enthusiasm again.
He said to them, "Well, it's time to get down to work. First - take me to the three traitors."
Jian Qiao responded immediately, and Yuan Baifu frowned and said, "They are not traitors. The real villains are their relatives."
Xiao Rong was about to leave when he turned around, looked Yuan Baifu in the eye and said to him, "Until they are cleared of suspicion, I will treat them as traitors."
Yuan Baifu could not accept Xiao Rong's approach, but when he looked around, he realized that he was the only one who could not accept it, while everyone else thought there was nothing wrong with doing so.
Yuan Baifu frowned, and the strange feeling in his heart became more and more serious.
Jian Qiao led Xiao Rong to the camp where the prisoners were held. There were no outsiders here. Jian Qiao whispered to Xiao Rong, "Before Mr. Xiao reminded me, I didn't realize that Yuan Baifu was so annoying. He could persuade the king, but I couldn't. He thought the king was still the same, and he taught him a lesson whenever he had nothing to do. In fact, the king had changed a long time ago. Now even the king thinks he is noisy."
At the end, Jian Qiao couldn't help revealing a hint of smugness. Xiao Rong looked at him silently, and suddenly felt that he was a bit like the palace maid in the palace fighting drama, the one who specialized in flattering the concubine and saying things like "Your Majesty is the favorite of His Majesty, and that kind of vixen won't last long before His Majesty will dislike her."
Xiao Rong couldn't help but put himself in her shoes. If Jian Qiao was a palace maid, then he would be a concubine. The problem was that concubines with such palace maids usually wouldn't make it to the end of a palace drama, and would usually be cannon fodder in the middle. ...
Xiao Rong was silent again, and after a while he said, "You have a preconceived notion. Yuan Baifu did not do anything out of line. But you, you are so close to him, he will naturally have something to say about you."
Jian Qiao was confused. He thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Then... I don't have to keep an eye on him anymore?"
Xiao Rong: "We still have to keep an eye on him."
Jian Qiao: “…”
Seeing his frustrated look, Xiao Rong couldn't help but smile: "Since you've been exposed, just keep watching. The king is injured, I'm not worried that the Xianbei will take advantage of this opportunity to sneak in. I'm more worried about problems around the king. Not only Yuan Baifu, you have to keep an eye on everyone. Until the king recovers, we have to be extremely alert."
After hearing this, Jian Qiao immediately nodded firmly.
But then he hesitated again, "Mr. Xiao, if what you said is true, then my actions these days will make Yuan Baifu alert. He may be forced to do something that he originally didn't want to do."
Xiao Rong looked at Jian Qiao, who felt very nervous when he looked at him.
Xiao Rong was somewhat helpless: "You just treated him badly. People will not think of betraying their colleagues just because their attitude towards them becomes bad. If he did so, it only means that he has had such an idea for a long time. It has nothing to do with you."
Jian Qiao felt relieved. He invited Xiao Rong to come in, but Xiao Rong did not move. Instead, he asked Jian Qiao some details: "After arresting these three people, have you interrogated them?"
Jian Qiao nodded: "They have been interrogated twice and tortured, but they know nothing and can't tell where their family members might have fled to."
Xiao Rong asked again: "Have you asked about the Qingfeng Sect?"
Jian Qiao shook his head: "I was busy with other things this afternoon, and also about sending people back to Yanmen County to search. No one has interrogated the three of them today."
Xiao Rong was a little surprised: "You didn't interrogate him, and neither did anyone else?"
Jian Qiao was proud again: "Yuan Baifu wanted his men to guard these three people, and I took advantage of the fact that I was in charge of the central army's affairs and snatched these three people away. Without my order, no one can come in and contact these three people."
