Mi Jing: “…”
The fact is, he really saw Mi Jing.
Mi Jing's fame did not just appear in recent years. Nine years ago, he was already a nationally famous monk. The Xianbei emperor at that time brought him to Shengle half-invited and half-threatened, just to win over Mi Jing and let him persuade those stubborn people as a Buddhist. The emperor felt that Mi Jing could help him rule the Central Plains faster.
I won’t go into how dangerous the situation was. The Xianbei emperor wanted to kill Mi Jing several times, but in the end he didn’t do it. He even let Mi Jing go. Mi Jing was worried about the situation at Zunshan Temple, so he rushed back immediately. But when he was halfway there, the bad news came that Zunshan Temple was gone.
Since almost everyone who knew Mi Jing died in that bloodbath, outsiders didn't know that he had been to Shengle, nor did they know that he had never experienced the bloodbath at all. They thought that Mi Jing escaped on his own. In addition to being shocked and admiring him, they also suspected that he had some magical powers, otherwise how could everyone else die and he alone survive unscathed?
Mi Jing, who hurried back to Chang'an, did not mention a word about this, because this was his eternal nightmare. He did not know whether this matter had anything to do with him. Was it because he did not promise the Xianbei emperor that he killed everyone in Zunshan Temple?
There were survivors in every place, except Zunshan Temple. Mi Jing didn't even dare to confirm the answer, and now he couldn't confirm the answer. ...
In short, in the process of winning over Mi Jing, the emperor tried every possible means. In addition to showing the unique advantages of their Xianbei, the emperor also sent Mi Jing many gifts, including money and women.
None of these could impress Mi Jing, so he held a sacrifice, took out the Xibihun sacred grass, and told Mi Jing the story of how their Murong tribe was chosen by God.
Mi Jing did not show his emotions, and Xiao Rong could not tell what he was thinking. He was only concerned about what the magical grass looked like. According to Mi Jing, it was a gray-green grass. Even after a hundred years, the leaves were still soft, but drooped down. As for the appearance of the leaves, they were serrated, and one leaf was one-third the size of a human palm. There were many leaves, about a dozen on one plant.
Xiao Rong asked as he took notes: "What should I use to store it?"
Mi Jing: "A wooden box with a white silk base, about this long and this wide."
Mi Jing compared it, Xiao Rong nodded, and then asked, "What kind of wood is the box made of?"
Ya Jing: "...It might be ebony, I don't remember it very well."
Xiao Rong raised his head and smiled at Mi Jing: "These are enough, thank you for your help, Buddha."
Mi Jing also smiled at Xiao Rong: "I hope Mr. Xiao can find these things soon."
After saying that, Mi Jing stood up and left. Dongfang Jin also had a look of anticipation on his face. He hurriedly urged Xiao Rong: "Mr. Xiao, let's go find him!"
Xiao Rong: "What are you looking for?"
Dongfang Jin was stunned: "Looking for the magic herb."
Xiao Rong sneered, "What are you looking for? I've already said that it's a lie. Maybe this grass really has some different effects, but it's definitely not as powerful as the Xianbei people boast. Now everyone is busy, who has time to look for a dead thing? So, go outside the city and find me a weed that is similar to the one the Buddhist just described."
Dongfang Jin: “…………”
He was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to react. Then he shook his head frantically: "No! Mr. Xiao, absolutely not!"
Xiao Rong: “…”
Who gave you permission to speak my lines?!
Xiao Rong stood up directly: "But! Your Majesty is determined to get the magic grass. Do you want to see Murong Yu succeed in his conspiracy? Once your Majesty agrees to him, things will not be so simple in the future. He is the great general of Xianbei and his status is too high! If you surrender him, it will be a big trouble. Do you think the matter will still be under your control at that time? If you kill Murong Yu now, no one will say anything to your Majesty, but if you kill him after surrendering, your Majesty will have already lost a level of morality. In addition, who will dare to surrender to the Zhenbei Army in the future? What difference does it make whether you surrender or not? Won't it be the same death?!"
Dongfang Jin opened his mouth and said, "But, you can't just use fake grass to cheat—"
Dongfang Jin's shoulders sank and he stared blankly at his left shoulder, where Xiao Rong's hand was resting.
Xiao Rong's voice was very calm: "Sometimes, in order to protect the king, a little white lie doesn't matter."
Dongfang Jin: “…”
No, he didn't think so. Whether it was with good intentions or bad intentions, lying to the king should be punished by military law!
Xiao Rong increased the strength of his hands: "You and I are both people who care about the king. You don't want to see the king suffer, right?"
Dongfang Jin: “…”
Yes, he swore allegiance to the king, regardless of life or death.
Xiao Rong looked at him and nodded to him with satisfaction: "Everything is for the king."
Dongfang Jin: "...everything is for the king."
But just before the brainwashing was successful, Dongfang Jin struggled to wake up again: "But I still feel——"
Xiao Rong withdrew his hand and looked up at Dongfang Jin: "If you don't do as I say, or reveal my plan to the king, then I will go and complain to the king, saying that you were disrespectful to me when you were in Jinling. Not only did you disobey my orders several times, but you also watched me being flirted with by Queen Mother Sun and did nothing."
Dongfang Jin: “…………”
It seems that there was disobedience to orders, but what's the nonsense behind that? Have you ever been flirted with by Queen Mother Sun? !
He looked at Xiao Rong stiffly and in shock, and Xiao Rong also looked at him and smiled brightly at him.
Dongfang Jin silently swallowed the blood in his throat, and said while enduring the internal injuries: "I obey your orders."
Xiao Rong nodded in satisfaction: "After you come back, go to the Xianbei warehouse to see if there is a suitable box. As soon as possible, I will only wait for you for one hour."
Dongfang Jin walked away with a frustrated look on his face. *
An hour later, Xiao Rong placed the magical herb in front of Qu Yunmie.
Qu Yunmie was very surprised. Did Xiao Rong find it so quickly?
He picked it up, opened it and took a look. He never thought that Xiao Rong would use a fake one to deceive him. He just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what.
