Xiao Rong was still looking at his hand. How many times should he wash it? After realizing what was happening, he shook his head violently: "Huh?!" Eunuch? !
Xiao Rong's eyes changed when he looked at the man outside. The man looked at Xiao Rong timidly and lowered his head deeply. *
This young eunuch claimed that he was Hengshun's apprentice and worked in the imperial palace, but Hengshun was not taken seriously and he was simply lost in the crowd.
Hengshun handed him a letter and asked him to make sure to deliver it to Xiao Situ of Chenliu. In order to conceal the truth, he could only dress up as a refugee. The body search in Chenliu was very strict, and when he was discovered, he said he was a eunuch. The Zhenbei Army only searched for suspicious Qingfeng sect members and had no suspicion of other people, so he came in smoothly.
Xiao Rong: “…”
Others: “…”
It’s true, it’s been almost a year, and the sieve attribute of the Zhenbei Army is still standing.
However, it is not their fault. After all, in this era, eunuchs have not caused trouble for more than a hundred years. Having learned the lessons of the previous dynasties, everyone strictly controls the eunuchs. They have no power and can only serve others obediently.
Not knowing whether what this man said was true or false, Xiao Rong asked him to hand the letter to him, then waved his hand, and someone took him away and put him under guard.
The envelope was a very ordinary one, and there were no valuable clues in it. After opening the letter, Xiao Rong was about to read it when he found five heads coming over to him.
Song Suo, Mi Jing, Gao Xunzhi, Yu Shaoxie and Yu Shaocheng.
Xiao Rong looked at Yu Shaocheng: "You want to see it too?"
Yu Shaocheng looked at him and said, "I'm with my brother."
Xiao Rong: “…”
He couldn't help but look at Qu Yunmie who was sitting beside him. The latter was sitting calmly and had no intention of joining in the fun.
Xiao Rong tried his luck and unfolded the letter, and found that it was filled with words advising him to stop immediately. The people were living in misery, so why did you do this?
Everyone around was confused. Was this little emperor crazy? Did he think that if he wrote a letter like this, Xiao Rong would really persuade Qu Yunmie to stop beating him?
Xiao Rong squinted his eyes and looked at the large blank space on the letter paper. He put the letter paper next to his nose and sniffed it gently.
Has a light orange flavor.
Xiao Rong immediately got up to find a candle, but Qu Yunmie was already lighting the lamp beside him.
Xiao Rong paused slightly, and when the fire on the lantern was lit, he hurried over and carefully placed the letter on the fire to dry it.
No one spoke, and the others looked at their actions in confusion. Qu Yunmie glanced at them and felt a sense of superiority.
You may not understand it, but I cracked it in two days. …
As the temperature rose, brown handwriting soon appeared on the letter paper. It was densely packed and much longer than the letter of advice. The little emperor wrote so many sensational words, but the main point was just one.
The Queen Mother believed in treacherous officials and poisoned the Grand Marshal. No one in the court cared about the emperor's safety. The emperor thought his life was in danger, so he wrote to Xiao Rong for help, and also to Qu Yunmie, hoping that they could save him from the water and fire. After the crisis was resolved, he was willing to move to Chenliu with Qu Yunmie and leave all the important affairs of the court to Qu Yunmie.
Seven heads gathered around the piece of letter paper, and everyone stared at the words in silence for a long time.
The first person to speak was Gao Xunzhi. He was completely dazed: "The emperor wants us to serve him?"
Yu Shaoxie was also shocked: "He actually chose the Zhenbei Army, he, he——"
Such explosive news, even Yu Shaocheng couldn't help but comment: "The emperor surrendered in person, it seems that the rumors are false, he is indeed the heir of Emperor Guangjia."
The Buddhist was also restless, and he turned his Buddhist beads faster: "Amitabha, this way, the war will end soon."
Xiao Rong frowned, "It's not that simple. He sent a palace maid to deliver the message. Queen Mother Sun, Prime Minister Yang and others couldn't possibly know about this. He was expecting us to break in and rescue him, but the process of fighting cannot be omitted."
Qu Yunmie took the letter and smiled: "At least now we are not traitors anymore."
Song Shuo took a step back, folded his arms, looked at the paper in Qu Yunmie's hand, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Why are you still talking nonsense? Now we are serving the king in accordance with the king's order! His Majesty is still dreaming, hoping that after the king rescues him, he will continue to be the emperor in Chenliu. When he falls into the king's hands, there will be no royalists around him. I want to see if he will be scared and cry. How about handing this task to me? I promise that I can get his abdication edict within three days!"
Others: “…”
Song Shuo seemed to be energized, and it was no wonder that he was so excited. The little emperor's handwritten letter for help wiped out the last bit of shame for the Zhenbei Army. Now, those who sacrificed their lives for the Yong Dynasty must be vomiting to death, because at such a critical moment, the little emperor did not believe them, but actually believed an outsider.
But Xiao Rong felt that he was not stupid at all, he was even very smart.
Jinling is very dangerous to him, and Chenliu is even more dangerous to him. He is the king of a fallen country. Just look at Murong Ji of the Xianbei to know that kings of fallen countries have no good ending. Even if he survives until the day when the Zhenbei Army breaks through the city of Jinling, it is hard to say how the Zhenbei Army will treat him.
But now it is different. The empress dowager has seized power, so he has reason to ask others for help, and the Zhenbei Army also has reason to send troops with dignity. Although the Zhenbei Army has an advantage now, they are also bound by it, because they are loyal to the king. Even if the little emperor abdicates in the future, they must treat him well, because they are no longer traitors, but the destiny that comes with the trend.
How could the destiny be so cruel to the royal family of the previous dynasty? No, they had to take good care of He Fu and stick to their own character.
Xiao Rong: “…”
The others had already started discussing what to do next, while Xiao Rong picked up the letter paper that Qu Yunmie had thrown aside, and looked at the two completely different letters on it. For a moment, he didn't know whether to laugh or feel annoyed.
He used the little emperor, and the little emperor used him in return. He couldn't even do anything to the little emperor, because he had to thank the little emperor for handing him such a sharp knife at this critical moment. ... Really powerful. And also really ruthless.
With this letter, he abandoned the entire Nanyong court. His mother, his uncle, and those who had always had high expectations of him were all left behind by him.
After looking at the words for a long time, Xiao Rong smiled gently.
At the age of eight, all he wanted was to stay alive. I wonder what he would think at the age of eighteen. And at the age of twenty-eight, would he be able to endure being locked up in one place like a pig, doing nothing but eating and drinking every day?
Who knows, but he has no chance to regret it because he only has one chip and he has used it up now.
