But before he could say these words, Qu Yunmie decisively interrupted him and said, "You are also hiding something from me! You risked your life and almost killed me, and I only promised you a dispensable throne!"
Xiao Rong choked, and at this time, Qu Yunmie looked at his expression and asked him sternly, "Let's call it a draw, how about that?"
Xiao Rong: "...Okay."
After all, if you really think about it, he is the one who is more unreasonable.
For some reason, both of them felt a little awkward. It was tiring to stand all the time. Xiao Rong sat back first. Seeing this, Qu Yunmie also sat down.
Xiao Rong shifted uncomfortably before saying to Qu Yunmie, "The four of you grew up together, and Yuan Baifu is your best brother. Naturally, I thought his betrayal was the biggest blow to you."
Qu Yunmie was silent for a moment, then answered him, "It was true in the past, but in recent days, he and I have not been that close. Sometimes his behavior makes me unhappy, and now I know that this is evidence of his wolfish ambitions."
As soon as Yuan Baifu was mentioned, Qu Yunmie's expression became gloomy. Not being able to kill him with his own hands was the biggest regret in Qu Yunmie's heart. No matter how good his relationship with Yuan Baifu had been before, Qu Yunmie hated him to the extreme at this moment.
Xiao Rong felt a little sad, because this meant that the things he had risked his life to get to know were no longer valuable to Qu Yunmie. ...It was really a losing deal.
Qu Yunmie looked at Xiao Rong and found that he was a little shocked. Then he thought about it and understood why he became like this.
Qu Yunmie still felt very angry, but after thinking for a moment, he did not bring up the past again.
He said to Xiao Rong: "Before he kidnapped you, I did want to know why he did this, but after he kidnapped you, I wanted to tear him into pieces. Ten thousand answers are not as important as a strand of your hair. It's a pity that I understood this too late. If I knew he would do something to you, I would never have chased him to Ningzhou, and I would never have let you leave me for even a blink of an eye."
Xiao Rong lowered his eyes and said nothing. He pinched his fingers, then raised his head slightly and looked at Qu Yunmie's bandaged mummy hands. Because of his limited mobility, Qu Yunmie asked the doctor to change the way of bandaging him, so that at least all his fingers were exposed.
No one knew what Xiao Rong was thinking. He didn't even respond to Qu Yunmie's words. After a moment, he raised his face in one direction and said to Qu Yunmie, "I will give you the gift I deserve in a few days."
It took Qu Yunmie a second to react before he remembered where the gift came from. It was the reward for his victory in Shengle when he returned unscathed.
In fact, he was far from being unscathed, as there were always some short-sighted villains who scratched him, but since they were only very minor flesh wounds, Xiao Rong did not bother with him.
The gift last time was so wonderful that Qu Yunmie was a little overwhelmed this time. He asked tentatively, "What is it?"
Xiao Rong glanced at him and said, "You'll know when the time comes."...
After that, Xiao Rong stopped talking. He held up his cheek and thought about his own things. Qu Yunmie should have calmed down at this time and stopped disturbing him, but the gift made Qu Yunmie remember Gao Xunzhi's words. If he wanted Xiao Rong to give him more, he should go and see what else Xiao Rong wanted.
But Xiao Rong was too difficult to figure out. Just by observing him, Qu Yunmie might never understand what he really wanted. Today, Xiao Rong was very frank with him and even told him things that would make him explode on the spot. Perhaps he could ask him directly.
Thinking of this, Qu Yunmie sat forward a little. Xiao Rong's eyes moved, but he kept his chin in his hands and asked him with his eyes - what are you doing?
Qu Yunmie: "...Arong, what do you want most in this world?"
Xiao Rong didn't even think twice: "I'll help you ascend the throne."
Qu Yunmie: “…………”
These four words were so outrageous and yet so exciting, but when spoken by Xiao Rong, they were as tasteless as boiled water. Qu Yunmie was silent for a moment, then asked, "Besides this?"
Xiao Rong did not answer, but looked at him suspiciously: "Why are you asking this?"
Qu Yunmie: “…”
You have to be patient with the person you choose.
Qu Yunmie answered honestly: "You gave me many things. If there is anything you want, I would also like to give it to you."
Xiao Rong frowned, but he really didn't want anything. He just wanted to complete the task assigned to him by the system and then no longer have to worry about his life. If he had to say what he wanted, it would surely be after completing the task. What did he want after that?
Xiao Rong thought about it and found that there was indeed one thing he wanted.
He blurted out: "Freedom."
He wanted the freedom to choose how to live his life.
But his answer stunned Qu Yunmie. The two looked at each other. Xiao Rong opened his mouth, but he couldn't take back his words no matter what. He avoided Qu Yunmie's sight, and Qu Yunmie looked at him, feeling his heart falling from the sky into the icy cave again.
It turns out to be freedom.
This is the only thing he doesn't want to give. ……*
Qu Yunmie changed his mind, and those poor prisoners of war saved their lives. Dongfang Jin led his troops to recapture Yizhou, and the people of Nanyong all ran away. He didn't have to put in much effort, and even if there were resistance from the locals, Dongfang Jin could suppress it alone.
This time, Dongfang Jin did not leave immediately after suppressing the rebellion. Instead, he followed Xiao Rong's order and left a large amount of food and grass in these cities before leaving.
It's like a violent version of the money-giving boy. …
The people of Yizhou were stunned, because they had never seen the Zhenbei Army be so kind. Xiao Rong was counting the food and grass left by the Shen family army in Zitong. He only gave away half of it, and the other half was naturally accepted by their own people.
Wang Xinyong was recovering from his injuries while collecting prisoners of war. Although Qu Yunmie had let these people go, he did not want to see them. Xiao Rong also gave an order, saying that this group of people were not allowed to be treated as foreigners. If they still wanted to be loyal to the Zhenbei Army, then give them a chance.
If they don't want to stay, then we can leave some people to look after them, and wait until the next spring, and then take them all to the grassland to let them settle down and start their own businesses there.
After all, these people have all served in the military. If they are all released, they might be used by someone. Sending them to the grassland can make them the vanguards on the grassland. Before ordinary people arrive, they can build all kinds of living facilities. This will make it much easier to migrate ordinary people later.
If the grasslands were full of nomadic peoples, they would not be able to settle down for many years. The best solution was to mix the people from both sides little by little and influence them imperceptibly. At the same time, more and more people were raising cattle. …
