Qu Yunmie: "It doesn't look like it has been there for a hundred years."
Xiao Rong: "This is its magical feature. No matter how long it is stored, it will still look like when it was first picked."
Qu Yunmie frowned and looked at the magic herb carefully. After a while, he suddenly relaxed his brows and said, "It is indeed a magic herb. It has been stored for such a long time, but it still has the scent of plants."
Xiao Rong lowered his eyes and smiled, as long as it wasn’t the smell of cow dung.
Qu Yunmie closed the box and asked, "Where did you find it?"
Xiao Rong spoke immediately, "Murong Yu didn't do it on impulse. He had this idea in mind for a long time, so he was able to steal the magic grass without Murong Qi knowing. However, he has been fighting with the Zhenbei Army these days, and he couldn't let others hide such an important thing. So the grass must still be in the city, and in the hands of someone he trusts. I investigated who he was close to recently, and then I looked for them one by one, and now I have found it."
Qu Yunmie: "You are still smart."
Dongfang Jin: “…” You are still good at making it up.
Xiao Rong looked at Qu Yunmie. The latter put the box on his lap and was reluctant to put it aside. It seemed that he really valued this thing.
He asked Qu Yunmie: "Is the king relieved?"
Qu Yunmie smiled at him: "Well, I'm relieved."
Xiao Rong also smiled: "That's good."
After saying that, he immediately ordered Dongfang Jin: "Go and kill Murong Yu, immediately!"
Dongfang Jin turned around and left without even asking Qu Yunmie for his opinion. Qu Yunmie was stunned, but he didn't stand up or stop him. He just didn't understand: "Why are you so anxious? I still have something to ask him."
Xiao Rong thought, how can I not be anxious? If I let him persuade me again, all my efforts will be in vain.
Xiao Rong said indifferently: "As for military intelligence, there are still many Xianbei generals alive. As for the situation in Shengle City, those nobles know more about it than Murong Yu. The only useful thing about him is why he knows that you, Your Majesty, need the Xibihun Divine Grass, but I guess, Your Majesty, you can solve this puzzle for me."
After all, even he didn't know about it, and Jian Qiao and others didn't know either. Qu Yunmie's confidentiality level this time was directly raised to the highest. It was a very simple matter to find a traitor among a small number of people.
Qu Yunmie: “…”
He did not deny it. He pursed his lips and said, "I'll take care of it."
Xiao Rong shook his head helplessly, "Since I came to the Zhenbei Army, there have been traitors in the army. Your Majesty should consider adjusting the structure of the Zhenbei Army. The total number of troops is nearly 500,000, and this number will become larger and larger in the future. It is impossible for such a large army to be led by your Majesty. It must be dispersed. When they were under your Majesty, some people had disloyalty. After they are dispersed, won't they directly establish themselves as kings? Your Majesty can't let them continue to be loose."
Qu Yunmie: "...I understand."*
After Dongfang Jin went over, he raised his sword and slashed, and Murong Yu died.
The death of the great general was a great shock to the Xianbei people. For the Zhenbei Army, they were happy, but not particularly happy.
Xiao Rong was even more indifferent. Murong Yi's surrender only made Xiao Rong dizzy, which was enough to prove that he was not a great figure at all. The same was true of the official history that Xiao Rong had read. The history books wrote a lot about the two emperors of the Murong family, but not much about this great general. In the official history, his death was very simple and was only mentioned briefly. This time, it was Qu Yunmie who gave him an opportunity, so he decided to use the magic grass to survive.
But he failed in the end. The magic herb was the reason for his success and failure. As a Xianbei person, his fate was doomed on the day Qu Yunmie rose to power.
Xiao Rong trusted the system very much, so he naturally thought that Murong Yu was a mediocre person. Just like Qu Yunmie said, even if he really persuaded Murong Yu to surrender, Murong Yu would not pose a threat to him in the future. If he disobeyed, he would just be killed.
But at this time, Xiao Rong had not yet realized that it was not that Murong Yan was too weak, but that Qu Yunmie had become stronger. But it didn't matter, he would soon realize it. …………
Murong Yan was dead, but Murong Qi was still alive. Next they had to decide whether Murong Qi would live or die.
Some people insisted on killing Murong Qi, which would not only put an end to the Xianbei people's idea of making a comeback, but also comfort the dead soldiers.
Some people thought that it would be better to put Murong Qi under house arrest and make him a transitional monarch for a period of time. After all, they still had to rule the Xianbei people instead of treating them as slaves.
The former is Yu Shaoxie, who scoffed at the latter, the Buddhist idea: "I have never seen the Xianbei treat us in the Central Plains like this."
The Buddhist's tone was the same as usual, but he politely pushed back Yu Shaoxie: "When will the cycle of revenge end?"
Yu Shaoxie and Mi Jing stared at each other, neither of them giving in. Suddenly, they both turned their heads at the same time and looked at Xiao Rong, who was almost distracted.
Xiao Rong: “…………”
He slumped in the chair, his sitting posture was not very elegant. Being watched by the two men, Xiao Rong sat up silently, and then said: "Whether to kill or not... I will decide later. At least I can't kill him today. I need to ask who gave him that vicious plan. After returning to Chenliu, I will make the elimination of Qingfeng Sect my top priority. This time I can't let them go. Those who should be imprisoned will be imprisoned, and those who should be killed will be killed. Don't let any of them escape."
Mi Jing: "Why ask who does what? You have already made plans."
Yu Shaoxie: "It has nothing to do with the plan. Rong'er just wants to know who his enemy is, right, Rong'er?"
Xiao Rong: "...Who is the king's enemy?"
Yu Shaoxie shrugged, meaning, what's the difference, if it belongs to the king, it's yours too.
Mi Jing: “…”
He was silent for a moment, then changed the subject, "The Qingfeng Sect is so huge, it's not so easy to eliminate it."
Xiao Rong: "We can't just not do it because it's too difficult. Even if we can't eradicate them, we have to get rid of those leaders and elders. At least, we can't let them cause trouble to the Zhenbei Army in the next three years."
As for three years later, Qu Yunmie had already proclaimed himself emperor. The situation was very complicated. Now it seemed very unstable and ever-changing, but if it really stabilized, others would not be able to shake it easily.
Yu Shaoxie supported Xiao Rong, but he had a question: "Rong'er, you don't have an official position now. After you return to Chenliu, will you still be the prefect of Chenliu?"
Xiao Rong shook his head: "I want to be a Situ."
Yu Shaoxie: “…”
