Chapter 0130 Who Am I
Obviously, this matter is very important, but Xiao Rong always pretends not to care, and Qu Yunmie's mood is up and down. He wants to be excited, but he can't be excited. He wants to be calm, but he really can't be calm. ...
After a long silence, Qu Yunmie took two steps back and sat down on the chair. He muttered, "Oh, then I won't marry her either."
Xiao Rong looked at him, but he didn't say anything. However, Qu Yunmie seemed to understand what he meant. He stopped Xiao Rong from saying anything in advance: "Isn't it enough that I have done treasonous things in this world? If I say I won't marry, who dares to stop me?"
Xiao Rong: “…”
He wanted to say that it was not this problem, but that there was no one left in your Qu family. There was the throne in your family, but you couldn’t find a relative to inherit it. This was too - but this was not the problem at hand. People might change, or they might not change. Only when the throne really fell into Qu Yunmie’s hands would Xiao Rong need to face this matter. It was too early to say anything now.
Xiao Rong walked to Qu Yunmie and sat down as well. The two looked at each other. Xiao Rong slowly opened his mouth and was about to say something to Qu Yunmie when someone knocked on the door.
Xiao Rong subconsciously looked towards the door, but Qu Yunmie stretched out a hand to block Xiao Rong's sight: "Don't worry about him, what do you want to tell me?"
Xiao Rong: “…”
The people outside knocked more and more urgently. Xiao Rong pushed Qu Yunmie's hand away, then walked over to open the door: "What's the matter?"
The guard who knocked on the door was stunned. He looked at Qu Yunmie inside, and Qu Yunmie also looked at him with displeasure.
Guard: "...Mr. Xiao, General Gongsun has returned and he wants to see the king."
Xiao Rong was startled, and he turned to look at Qu Yunmie, who had already lowered his eyes, with a somewhat mixed expression. …………
Before they got married, Gongsun Yuan and Yuan Baifu were inseparable. Although Qu Yunmie trusted Yuan Baifu the most, he was busy and had no jealous thoughts in his heart, so he often saw the two of them walking together, looking very intimate.
When Yuan Baifu rebelled, the person who was most affected was not Qu Yunmie, but Gongsun Yuan, who was a man of few words and did not like to meddle in other people's affairs.
Qu Yunmie went out to meet him. After thinking it over, Xiao Rong decided to follow him, but he did not go to the front hall. Instead, he went in through the back door and secretly listened to what they were saying behind the screen wall.
Qu Yunmie had sharp ears and sharp eyes, so he naturally knew that there was someone standing behind the screen wall, but he said nothing. He just sat down in silence, waiting for Gongsun Yuan to come in.
Xiao Rong would wonder what Gongsun Yuan meant by leaving Yu Shaocheng behind and going back to Chenliu alone. Qu Yunmie, being a sensitive and suspicious person, must have been mentally prepared for this. However, this was dispelled after Gongsun Yuan came to see him honestly. Even Yuan Baifu, who was stimulated to the point of madness, knew that he should not appear in front of Qu Yunmie. Gongsun Yuan was still normal, and it was impossible for him to travel thousands of miles just to assassinate Qu Yunmie and avenge his brother.
Xiao Rong followed because he was afraid that Qu Yunmie would vent his anger on him. What if he mentioned Yuan Baifu? Gongsun Yuan had not seen Yuan Baifu killing innocent people indiscriminately, so he might still be feeling sorry for his brother in his heart.
But no, because the first thing Gongsun Yuan did after coming in was to kneel down to Qu Yunmie.
Xiao Rong's heart couldn't help but skip a beat when he heard the dull sound. He quietly looked over from behind the screen wall and found Gongsun Yuan bowing his head to the ground, looking indescribably humble and heavy.
The one who did the wrong thing was Yuan Baifu, and the one who apologized to Qu Yunmie at this moment was Gongsun Yuan.
His shoulders trembled slightly, and his voice was no longer as calm as usual: "My lord, I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I deserve to die..."
Xiao Rong was stunned. At this time, Qu Yunmie's voice rang out: "It's not you who betrayed me."
Gongsun Yuan: "But I should have discovered his intentions. I should have known... But why did he do this? Why did he betray the king and the Northern Guards!"
Xiao Rong knew the answer, and later he told Qu Yunmie. Qu Yunmie also knew it, but he did not tell anyone else because the reason was too ridiculous and it would be better not to know it.
Qu Yunmie was silent for a moment, then stood up from the chair. He helped Gongsun Yuan up and told him again what others had told him. Gongsun Yuan's emotions were gradually calmed down by him. After he woke up, Gongsun Yuan knelt down again, but this time it was a normal half-kneeling. He expressed his loyalty to Qu Yunmie, saying that he was different from Yuan Baifu and he would never betray Qu Yunmie. As for that villain Yuan Baifu, he no longer felt the slightest pain for him.
Qu Yunmie nodded. He was not a sentimental person, so he couldn't say anything that would move Gongsun Yuan.
Gongsun Yuan came back this time, indeed for the matter of Yuan Baifu. He only brought a few people with him, escorting the most important Khitan king. Most of his troops remained with Khitan, managed by his left and right captains and Yu Shaocheng. He trusted Yu Shaocheng so much that Qu Yunmie felt quite relieved.
After a few more words, Gongsun Yuan automatically left. After he closed the door, Xiao Rong came out from behind.
His expression was a little mixed: "Gongsun Yuan, what is this..."
There were some things he couldn't say, but it didn't matter, Qu Yunmie filled in for him: "He was afraid of being implicated by Yuan Baifu, so he came back to show his loyalty to me."
Xiao Rong: “…………” So you understand.
But if you think about it carefully, this is Gongsun Yuan's style. In the official history, he thought about it and felt that following Qu Yunmie was a dead end, so he joined Yuan Baifu after he rebelled. He didn't care who he was close to, he just looked at which side was good for him. This time, following Yuan Baifu to rebel was a dead end, so he would never join Yuan Baifu's team. He even rushed back after discovering Yuan Baifu's rebellion.
He is a rational and self-centered person. There is nothing wrong with doing this, but it may make people who have a good relationship with him feel a little disappointed.
Xiao Rong looked at Qu Yunmie worriedly. The latter noticed his look and his facial muscles moved slightly. He said, "I'm fine."
Xiao Rong imitated his usual behavior and replied with two words: "Really?"
Qu Yunmie: “…”
He chuckled, "Of course."
Compared to Yuan Baifu's ruthless act of stabbing him in the back, which was just for self-protection, it was nothing.
Moreover, human relationships are the most unpredictable. Even Qu Yunmie himself cannot guarantee that he can always put these brothers first in his heart. Why does he ask others to do the same? Gongsun Yuan has a wife and children. Is it wrong for him to want to live a stable life?
In the past, he did not understand these principles and just treated his old subordinates and old brothers with the same attitude as before. Now that there are more important people in his life, he will no longer be so naive.
Xiao Rong observed his expression for a while, and felt that he was not lying, so he also smiled. Then he sat next to Qu Yunmie and said to him: "Since General Gongsun has returned and the Khitan King has become a prisoner, Your Majesty may as well issue a military order to let the generals and soldiers who are exiled hold a celebration banquet at the same time. It's up to them to decide how many days to hold it outside. As for Chenliu...how about seven days? There will be plenty of wine and meat, and the soldiers guarding the city will take turns, and the rest of the soldiers don't have to worry about anything. They can eat, drink and have fun as they please during these seven days. Everyone also needs a good rest."
