In order to save more money for future construction, Xiao Rong even set a cap on how much Qu Yunmie could take. Other generals also had their caps reduced according to their military merits. Each general was given a few thousand in gold and tens of thousands in silver. If there was more, there would be nothing left. Even for silk and satin, Xiao Rong would first check if there were any women in the other party's family. If there were none, "Sorry, I won't give you any. Go get the furs over there."
From the moment he got the account book, Xiao Rong had been calculating in his mind how much would be appropriate. If he gave too much, he would feel bad, but if he gave too little, he would be afraid that his subordinates would be disappointed. In the end, he scrimped and saved until he decided on a specific amount.
Xiao Rong was already annoyed by the settlement of accounts, and now reinforcements came to help. For Xiao Rong, this was like pulling hair from a tiger's mouth.
At first, Xiao Rong was just playing Tai Chi with He Tingzhi, not giving any clear guarantees or deadlines, but He Tingzhi was determined to get these spoils today, so no matter what Xiao Rong said, he still stood here.
So gradually, Xiao Rong lost his patience. …
Before, Qu Yunmie left angrily, found a place to vent his anger, and then came back to find Xiao Rong.
Just as he turned the corner and before he stepped into the yard, Qu Yunmie heard a faint voice coming from inside. He didn't hear clearly what Xiao Rong was saying, but he heard Xiao Rong's laughter behind him.
It's the kind of laughter that is very charming, where one laugh can change into three tones, but each tone can make the listener want to crawl into the ground.
Qu Yunmie: “…”
He stopped subconsciously, and after a moment, He Tingzhi walked out angrily.
Of course He Tingzhi would not do this in front of Xiao Rong, but he did not expect that the dignified King of Zhenbei would be eavesdropping outside. Stunned, He Tingzhi became more and more embarrassed. He bowed to Qu Yunmie and then left quickly.
Qu Yunmie watched He Tingzhi leave, then said to Dongfang Jin beside him: "Every time I see someone being scolded by Xiao Rong, I feel very happy."
Dongfang Jin looked in the same direction and responded, "Me too."
“…”
They turned around together, and Qu Yunmie walked in. Xiao Rong raised his eyelids and saw that it was him, then he put away the aggression in his eyes.
But his voice was still a little angry: "What's the matter, my king?"
Qu Yunmie nodded: "Murong Qi, I have finished the interrogation for you."
Xiao Rong raised his eyebrows: "How did you interrogate him?"
Qu Yunmie: “…”
After a moment of silence, he said, "Don't worry about it. He won't have to see anyone again in the future anyway."
Xiao Rong looked at him silently, imagining what Murong Qi would look like now, but soon he decided not to imagine it anymore: "Who is it?"
Qu Yunmie replied briefly: "The Great Protector of the Qingfeng Sect is called Han Qing."
Xiao Rong searched for this person in his memories, but there was none. He didn't remember hearing such a name before.
Shaking his head, Xiao Rong said, "I've never heard of him. Never mind. No matter who he is, as long as the Qingfeng Sect is destroyed, he will also die."
Qu Yunmie thought so too. *
Although he had never heard of Han Qing, Xiao Rong inexplicably felt that the name sounded familiar. From time to time, he would think of this person and then show a somewhat puzzled expression.
He didn't think of anything that day, because after a day of accounting, he fell asleep quickly. The next day, he continued to deal with affairs in the city and prepared for Qu Yunmie's subsequent attack on Shuofang City.
Untying his hair crown, Xiao Rong sat on the bed and read the records of the Xianbei people over the years about the situation of Shuofang City. It would be great to conquer the capital. The entire Xianbei map, population, and military statistics could all be found here.
Records from two years ago said that Shuofang City had a total of 120,000 defenders, but two years later, this number is estimated to have changed. In order to defend Shengle this time, the Xianbei royal family drew troops from all over the place. Shuofang was so close that it was estimated that it was hit the hardest.
Of these 120,000, there may only be 30,000 or 40,000 left now. ... No wonder Qu Yunmie said that 100,000 people would be enough, and maybe even halving would be no problem.
Thinking of this, Xiao Rong couldn't help but smile, and as he smiled, the expression on his face froze. Han Qing.
Han Liangru, Taoist name Ruqing.
Xiao Rong's expression changed in an instant. He stood up suddenly, and the papers on his legs fell to the ground in an instant. Xiao Rong looked ahead in astonishment and didn't even bother to pick them up.
Han Liangru is Han Qing? ? Is it a coincidence or is he thinking too much? Han Liangru... Didn't Han Liangru later follow Taoism, protect Buddhism, and then vigorously suppress the Qingfeng Sect? ? ?
The Qingfeng Sect was able to disappear later, thanks to Han Liangru! During the years when he was the Great Master of Protecting the Nation, he did not allow the people to believe in the Qingfeng Sect anymore, and killed batches of Qingfeng Sect believers. After killing them, he led the Taoist priests in the palace to perform rituals, saying that these people's souls were polluted by the Qingfeng Sect, but they actually did not deserve so much sin, and hoped that they could be freed from this.
If it was really him, it was too ironic. He was once the Great Protector of the Qingfeng Sect, and then became the Great Protector of the Taoism. The first thing he did after changing jobs was to raise the butcher knife against his previous employer. ... God.
Although Xiao Rong was shocked and asked himself if he was overthinking, he actually believed that Han Qing and Han Liangru were the same person. Religion has always been Han Liangru's best tool. He returned to secular life several times and joined the religion several times. From this, it can be seen that he is not so fanatical about Taoism. In the official history, Han Liangru appeared inexplicably. One year, he came to He Tingzhi and immediately gained He Tingzhi's trust. People only know a little about his past.
There are hidden dragons, but not that many. Even Song Qianzheng, who is less famous, can be found out what he did when he was young and how he accumulated years and experience, not to mention Han Liangru, who is the founding emperor in the actual sense.
If history books have not recorded his past, there is only one reason to explain it: he did not want people to know.
Xiao Rong stood there blankly, the thoughts in his head were like a tsunami, one wave after another. Han Liangru was more terrifying than Huang Yanjiong and He Tingzhi. This man liked to stay in the dark and manipulate people's hearts. He seemed to enjoy the feeling of playing with people in the palm of his hand. Even in a place like Qingfeng Sect that was full of perverts and psychopaths, he could make it to the highest level. What did this show?
This shows that he is a more perverted and psychotic person. …
Xiao Rong blinked much faster than usual. He swallowed, slowly sat down, and then thought about what to do next.
Oh, write a letter, he wants to write a letter! *Chenliu.
They learned about the incidents in Yizhou and Ningzhou seven days ago. On the day they learned about it, half of Yizhou was annexed. Two days later, new military reports came in, saying that Yizhou was completely lost. Today, another military report came in, saying that Ningzhou was also lost.
Song Shuo: “…………”
He kept pacing in the meeting room, and it seemed like smoke was coming out of his head.
"waste!!!"
