Several people who were arguing with each other were stunned at the same time, because the voice sounded unfamiliar to them, as if they had never heard it before. When they turned around, they found that the person who was speaking was Yuan Baifu.
He looked at these people and smiled: "Qu Yunmie and his niece have only said a few words in a month. It won't be very effective to threaten Qu Yunmie with her."
Those people blinked and came to their senses. One of them immediately wanted to scold him, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can interrupt me?"
Even the Shen family army was not immune to class oppression and the isolation of outsiders. The Shen family army was relatively better. The Jinling guards were even more terrifying.
This would have been a good opportunity for Yuan Baifu to realize what kind of new club he had chosen, but Shen Yangrui suddenly waved his hand to stop others from speaking, because he could tell that Yuan Baifu had a better candidate.
Shen Yangrui asked him: "Who do you think can threaten Qu Yunmie?"
Yuan Baifu smiled and said, "There is indeed one, and if it's as I expected, he is not in Chenliu. He must have followed Qu Yunmie to Ningzhou."
Shen Yangrui's eyes were like those of an eagle: "You said he is with Qu Yunmie?"
Then there is no hope, right?
Listening to Shen Yangrui's question, Yuan Baifu lowered his eyes and thought for a long time before he shook his head: "No, I know Qu Yunmie, he won't let that person follow him."
After all, he had just killed Wang Xinyong. Qu Yunmie was a man who only cared about food and not about punishment. When someone around him was in trouble, he would pay extra attention to protecting the safety of the remaining people and be extra vigilant about whether there were other traitors around him. But after a while, he would no longer be like this. He would still trust everyone and no longer worry about those he should worry about.
You really don't learn from your mistakes. *
Unfortunately... Hara Momofuku was right.
This is why Qu Yunmie refused Xiao Rong's invitation and chose to go to the battlefield alone. Yuan Baifu could kill Wang Xinyong, so he could kill others. Although he knew that Yuan Baifu would not be able to meet Xiao Rong, he still wanted to be safe.
Xiao Rong had a similar mentality. Although Gao Xunzhi would no longer go to persuade Yuan Baifu alone, who knew if this pervert would suddenly have a brain seizure and ignore everything and be determined to kill Yuan Baifu. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Xiao Rong did not want to gamble on that tiny possibility, so he chose to force Gao Xunzhi to stay and watch him personally.
As for Qu Yunmie... Xiao Rong analyzed it carefully and felt that the situation in Shengle City would not happen.
First of all, this is Ningzhou, and Shen Yangrui and his team have no chance of getting the bones. Secondly, although Qu Yunmie looks very angry, he has never been impulsive.
Even when he learned that Yuan Baifu had killed someone from the rear army again, he just threw a teacup. In the past, he would have smashed the entire room. Regardless of whether Qu Yunmie had succeeded in self-cultivation or the incident with Yuan Baifu was not a fatal blow to him, in short, it was good that he could remain calm.
Secondly, Xiao Rong repeatedly reminded Qu Yunmie from the previous night until the next morning, using threats, begging, and inducements. Xiao Rong used every means possible, making Qu Yunmie feel helpless.
When Xiao Rong makes people angry, he is really angry, but when he makes people feel soft-hearted, he is really soft-hearted.
The accident in Shengle City was a common shadow for both of them. Qu Yunmie didn't know how to make Xiao Rong believe that he would not repeat the same mistake again, at least he would not repeat the same mistake regarding Yuan Baifu.
In the end, Xiao Rong watched Qu Yunmie leave. When he returned to the city, Gao Xunzhi was about to comfort Xiao Rong when he saw the latter suddenly turn around and said, "This is a good opportunity to reconquer Hanzhong. Ningzhou is vast and has a large population, and Yizhou is a well-known land of fish and rice. Why not take this opportunity to reorganize these two places?"
Gao Xunzhi: “…Okay.”
He thought Xiao Rong was feeling uneasy, so he had to find something to do for himself. However, he knew that Xiao Rong was not looking for a job for himself, but for Gao Xunzhi.
Gao Xunzhi was buried in a room full of books and records, and then a mountain of official business was brought in. These were enough to ensure that Gao Xunzhi would stay in this room day and night for seven days.
After seven days, Xiao Rong would find another way to trap him in the room. …
Gao Xunzhi was immersed in the ocean of official duties, and all external affairs were under the jurisdiction of Xiao Rong, so he didn't know that Xiao Rong had heavily guarded this small courtyard. In order to save his life, Xiao Rong had also spared no effort.
But who can figure out a pervert's thoughts?
Historical books speculate that Gao Xunzhi was killed because he angered Yuan Baifu, or Yuan Baifu decided to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and use his death to completely separate himself from Qu Yunmie so that the people below would not be able to see his attitude clearly.
But the truth is far less savory.
He killed Gao Xunzhi just because he wanted to kill Gao Xunzhi. He wanted to show off his status and also wanted to make Qu Yunmie suffer, so after Gao Xunzhi came to him, he had this idea.
Then why did he want to make Qu Yunmie suffer? Again, there was no reason, he just wanted to do it, and he wanted it very much.
The people of Nanyong thought that he was helping them by capturing the people that Qu Yunmie cared about and using them to threaten Qu Yunmie to withdraw his troops. Even if he could not withdraw his troops, he would get a chance to negotiate. However, Yuan Baifu's idea was that he would capture the people that Qu Yunmie cared about and then kill him in front of Qu Yunmie with his own hands.
Isn't this just courting death? Yes, but after Yuan Baifu really set out on the journey, he found that his blood vessels were burning and his heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat. He realized that what he really wanted to do was not to become king, nor to expand his own power, nor to share a share of the power in the world.
He just wanted to make Qu Yunmie feel pain, he wanted to see Qu Yunmie collapse, he wanted to make this idiot who claimed to be unparalleled in the world show an expression of deep regret, and in order to do this, he could ignore everything.
Yuan Baifu kicked the horse hard in the belly, and the horse's speed suddenly increased. When running up a hill, he accidentally glanced at the plain below and saw a large number of troops marching towards Zitong. These people were like a huge arrow, and the person at the front of the arrow must be Qu Yunmie.
Yuan Baifu should have been very afraid of him, but now he was not afraid. He smiled at the unclear figure and kicked the horse's belly again.
Tonight, he will reach Hanzhong City.
