Chapter 0116 Turnaround (2 / 3)



But Xiao Rong still didn't plan to say anything. After all, there was a reason for this incident, and everyone could accept it if it happened once or twice.

In this way, the normal marching time of about ten days was compressed by Qu Yunmie into one and a half days. At midnight of the second day, at the intersection of Zishi and Choushi, Qu Yunmie and others successfully arrived at the Hanzhong Basin. They were about to continue moving towards Hanzhong County, but two horses came galloping not far away, with the people on the horses holding torches.

"Your Majesty, stay here!!!"

The people on horseback started shouting from a distance: "Your Majesty, please stay! The Zhenbei Army, please stay! Prime Minister Gao and his soldiers are stationed on the Tiger Killing Slope in the west!"

Qu Yunmie tightened the reins and listened carefully twice before he reached back.

His personal soldiers shouted the order to stop, and slowly, more than 10,000 people all stopped. *

Gao Xunzhi and his group also arrived after nightfall, about two hours earlier than Qu Yunmie.

Hanzhong County was also controlled by Shen Yangrui's men, and Gao Xunzhi sent scouts to find out more information. Shen Yangrui himself was not in Hanzhong County. They were stationed in Zitong. Yuan Baifu was also there, as were the more than 70,000 soldiers he had captured.

Gao Xunzhi didn't want to alert the enemy, and also because he brought too few people with him, if he rushed to the gate of Hanzhong city rashly, he would be surrounded by them.

He ordered the camp to be set up, and the chaos had just died down for a while. Just as Gao Xunzhi was about to go to sleep, he heard the scouts he had sent out coming back, shouting that the king had arrived.

Gao Xunzhi: “…”

He almost broke his old bones along the way, but he arrived just after Qu Yunmie. He couldn't help but feel scared. Fortunately, he ordered everyone to hurry up. If Qu Yunmie arrived first, the consequences would be disastrous.

Gao Xunzhi quickly got up from the bed and walked out quickly. From a distance he saw the Xueyinchou Spear emitting silver light. Qu Yunmie was standing in front of the military camp, talking to the generals who had arrived earlier.

Seeing Gao Xunzhi coming, those people wisely stepped back.

Gao Xunzhi said anxiously: "The king came too fast! He must have not stopped all the way. Even if you can bear it, you have to see if the soldiers can bear it. I know the king is angry, but--"

Halfway through his words, he froze. He raised his hands, rubbed his eyes, and then screamed: "A Rong?!"

Xiao Rong was holding a torch, not because he liked holding it, but because he felt a little warm when holding it.

Gao Xunyi pushed Qu Yunmie away, and in two steps he came to Xiao Rong and asked him in shock, "Why are you here too? Didn't I tell you to go back to Chenliu?"

Xiao Rong replied, "Song Suo is in charge of Chenliu, so there is no rush to return. I would rather work with the king to solve the problem of a traitor in the army."

Gao Xunzhi: “…”

Xiao Rong's words sounded light and casual, as if Yuan Baifu was not an important person at all. Gao Xunzhi didn't know how to respond to this sentence, and was afraid of irritating Qu Yunmie's sensitive nerves. He wanted to change the subject, but as he was thinking about it, he suddenly realized something.

Gao Xunzhi closed his mouth and looked at Xiao Rong suddenly. He looked at Xiao Rong from head to toe with a very strange and unbelievable look. Gao Xunzhi asked him: "How did you get here?"

Xiao Rong: “…”

It seemed like this wasn't the first time he was asked this question.

I don't understand why people always ask questions even though they already know the answer.

"On a fast horse."

Gao Xunzhi's expression became even more exaggerated. He stretched out his hand and pointed at various parts of Xiao Rong's body: "You, you just rode like this all the way?!"

Xiao Rong opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Gao Xunzhi had already taken action, touching Xiao Rong's cold face and his red earlobes. When he held Xiao Rong's hand, the pain on Gao Xunzhi's face almost overflowed.

He shouted angrily: "What a joke!!!"

"You--what can I say to you? Forget it, come here! Quickly fetch some basins of hot water! You are just relying on your youth. If you get frostbite and hurt your roots, you will be in trouble!"

After saying that, Gao Xunzhi pushed Xiao Rong to a soldier, who then led Xiao Rong away.

Gao Xunzhi watched Xiao Rong leave, looking back every few steps. When Xiao Rong bent down and entered a military tent, Gao Xunzhi's face suddenly darkened and he slowly turned around.

He didn't say anything. He just glanced at Qu Yunmie and then walked back to his tent.

Qu Yunmie's face hardened, but he still followed him. ...

Gao Xunzhi lit a charcoal basin before going to bed. It was still relatively warm in the military tent at this time. Qu Yunmie was still wearing full armor. When the heat attacked his face, he even felt like his body was about to burn. Every pore was scrambling for the heat source. This heat made him very uncomfortable, just like the look in Gao Xunzhi's eyes at this time.

Gao Xunzhi didn't say anything polite to him, but asked directly: "What's going on?"

Qu Yunmie frowned: "What's going on?"

Seeing him playing dumb, Gao Xunzhi became even more furious: "Seeing Xiao Rong not taking care of his body again, you actually have no reaction at all?"

Qu Yunmie: "What should I do? Everyone is the same on the march."

Gao Xunzhi was stunned by his tone for a moment, and his voice suddenly became louder: "But this is Xiao Rong!"

To you, Xiao Rong is the most different!
