Xiao Rong sat up straight: "Only two years?!"
Yu Shaoxie: “…”
He didn't understand why Xiao Rong was so excited. This was still his conservative estimate. "Of course, after defeating the Xianbei, the king will no longer have to worry about the future. The wealth of the Xianbei can replenish the supplies for the Zhenbei Army. Now there is no force in the world that can compete with the king. Although Sun Renluan has some skills, it is simply a pipe dream for him to lead the troops of Nanyong to repel the king. Now the only thing that can slow down the king's pace is the impregnable city of Jinling. Once they start the battle to defend the city, we can only waste time with them outside. So I said it will take at least two years and at most three years. It depends on what Nanyong does."
At this point, Yu Shaoxie smiled and praised Xiao Rong: "Rong'er, you have really thought it through. Indeed, in this situation, there will be no external forces threatening the king. Instead, it is the people within the Zhenbei Army who may destroy everyone's efforts. Don't worry, Rong'er, I will continue to keep an eye on this group of people and will never let anyone with ulterior motives take advantage of the opportunity."
Xiao Rong: “…”
Although he was praised, he did not seem happy at all. He silently relaxed his tense body. Xiao Rong bit his lower lip and placed his clenched fist to his lips.
It turned out to be only two years. Add the past six months and the six months spent on the road, it’s only three years.
Three years of hard work to buy a new life is the best deal in the world.
He always thought that he was unlucky and that he ended up like this because he blew up the kindergarten in his previous life. But after hearing this clear number today, he found that he seemed to be lucky.
No, it's not seem, it's just luck.
How many people have never had the chance to open their eyes again after closing them, and they don’t even realize that they are dead. Death roars at them, taking away their five senses and the winding but bright road ahead, like a ruthless knife, suddenly cutting off the future that should be equally distributed to everyone. But he did not experience such a thing. Before death found him, the system took him away first.
It is true that there may be other changes in the next two years, but it is also possible that nothing will happen. The Zhenbei Army is different, and the Zhenbei King is different. They have enough chips to buy the entire table. At first, Xiao Rong thought it was 100% impossible for Qu Yunmie to become emperor, but now, he himself can't say that. ... So, two years.
These thoughts passed through Xiao Rong's mind quickly, and he might not have noticed that he was trying to convince himself that this was a wonderful thing. Yu Shaoxie looked at him puzzledly, and really didn't understand what Xiao Rong was thinking at this moment. Could it be that he felt that two years was too short? But the sooner the king became emperor, the sooner Xiao Rong could rest assured.
Suddenly, Xiao Rong stood up and said to Yu Shaoxie, "I'm going to go out for a walk. Brother Yu, go to bed early."
Yu Shaoxie looked at the sun high in the sky outside and wondered how he could rest at this time.
But after opening his mouth, he still said "oh".
Xiao Rong walked forward with his eyes lowered. He didn't know where he was going. He just came out for a walk as he said.
When he walked out not far away, he heard quick footsteps approaching from behind. Xiao Rong frowned and turned around, only to see Dongfang Jin running towards him at some point and following him closely.
Xiao Rong wanted to say that he was safe in the military camp and there was no need to send guards to him, but Dongfang Jin probably would not act on his own, and the person who could give orders to Dongfang Jin would not be persuaded to go back by his words.
Xiao Rong turned back and continued walking forward in silence. Dongfang Jin first breathed a sigh of relief and then followed him with a good attitude.
As he walked, Xiao Rong discovered that the looks of the people around him had changed. Even though the soldiers he met before were strangers, they mostly looked at him with amazement and curiosity. But now, in addition to these two emotions, there was also a kind of secret scrutiny.
Xiao Rong paused slightly and Dongfang Jin stepped forward immediately. He was about to explain to Xiao Rong where this place was, when Xiao Rong's eyes fixed on a general who had just walked out of the tent. The man might have just woken up, or he might have been impatient. In any case, after he came out, he immediately stretched hard and then squinted his eyes to look at the things around him.
After meeting Xiao Rong's gaze, his scalp suddenly tightened.
Xiao Rong smiled happily: "Sir Huang, it's been a long time since we last met!"
Huang Yanjiong: “…………”
Didn't they say that Xiao Rong never left Qu Yunmie's side? Which bastard sent me such misleading information? !
Xiao Rong walked over calmly, and Huang Yanjiong also raised the corners of his lips, but his expression looked a little stiff.
He bowed to Xiao Rong and said, "Haha, Xiao Lingyin, I wonder why Xiao Lingyin has time to come to Huang's place today."
Xiao Rong sighed: "Don't call me Xiao Lingyin anymore. I am now a commoner and I am not worthy of the title of Lingyin."
Huang Yanjiong didn't know about this. Among the allies, only He Tingzhi knew that Xiao Rong had resigned, but he and Huang Yanjiong were not that close yet, so they did not exchange information.
He frowned, and if you didn't look closely, he really looked concerned about Xiao Rong: "How could this be, did Mr. Xiao anger the king?"
If so, does this mean that he has a chance to win over Xiao Rong?
Xiao Rong looked at him innocently, "How dare I anger the king? I felt that I was not capable enough, so I handed over the post of Chenliu Yin to someone else. Alas, after all, I am still young and cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility of being a parent official. I don't know what kind of post the king plans to give me in the future. In my opinion, I can't be the chief of a place. I'm afraid I can only make do as a Situ in the royal capital."
Huang Yanjiong: “…………”
You're here just to show off today!
Everyone knows that the position of a Situ is only slightly lower than that of a prime minister, and sometimes he can even be on par with the prime minister. You, you are simply insane. You want to be promoted, so why are you coming to me to talk about this? !
Huang Yanjiong was so angry that he had a headache, but he could only continue to flatter Xiao Rong: "Ha, ha, then Huang would like to congratulate Mr. Xiao on his promotion."
Xiao Rong waved his hand and said, "Well, nothing has been decided yet. The king doesn't know about this yet. I'll mention it to him in a few days and see if he's willing to give me this position."
Huang Yanjiong felt completely numb.
But then Xiao Rong bowed and said goodbye, without even giving Huang Yanjiong a chance to fight back. After Xiao Rong and Dongfang Jin left, Dongfang Jin turned back silently, looking at Huang Yanjiong's battered look. He couldn't help but ask Xiao Rong: "Mr. Xiao, why did you tell him all this? Did he do something to make you unhappy?"
Xiao Rong shrugged: "No, I just want to piss him off so that I can feel better."
Dongfang Jin: “…”
Xiao Rong suddenly turned around and asked him, "Where is He Tingzhi?"
After a moment of silence, Dongfang Jin decisively pointed in a direction. Although he didn't know why Xiao Rong wanted to calm down in this way, Dongfang Jin felt that he had better cooperate with him, because he had a hunch that if Xiao Rong couldn't find the right person, he might go back to anger the king. For the sake of peace in the military camp, it would be better to sacrifice King Dongyang. ...
Xiao Rong stayed here for a full hour. After bullying Unlucky Guy No. 1 and Unlucky Guy No. 2, Xiao Rong sat down and chatted with the rest of the allies. Not everyone had selfish motives like the two unlucky guys. Some people really came here to avenge the Central Plains.
Although their power is not great, this attitude is worthy of admiration.
Xiao Rong chatted with these people and talked about the current changes in the Zhenbei Army, hoping to leave a good impression on them so that when they are faced with a choice between the two in the future, they will decisively side with the Zhenbei Army.
As he started to do his business, some of the thoughts in Xiao Rong's mind gradually disappeared. Seeing that it was almost time, Xiao Rong stood up and planned to go back to the king's tent to take a look.
Not long after he walked out, he saw the soldiers who came to look for him: "Mr. Xiao, General Jian ordered me to look for you. Someone from Chenliu has arrived."
