She calmly stood up and went to wipe her face.
Jian Qiao: “…………”
Feeling guilty for a moment, he turned his head to Zhang Biezhi and said, "Follow Mr. Xiao?! Mr. Xiao has guards protecting him now, and he won't leave the city again. How can you be of any use?"
Zhang Biezhi: "I am better than those guards."
Jian Qiao was speechless. Indeed, Zhang Biezhi was more powerful in terms of skills. However, "Do you think that staying with Mr. Xiao will help you get promoted faster? Don't dream. Even if Mr. Xiao appreciates you, he will first look at your military achievements. The attack on Xianbei is imminent. Listen to me. Go to Shengle first and kill more Xianbei people. When you come back, I will say a few good words for you in front of Mr. Xiao."
Zhang Biezhi frowned, "I don't want to get promoted, I just think... I can learn more by staying with Mr. Xiao. Mr. Xiao is indeed a talented person. If it weren't for Mr. Xiao, I would not understand anything during the time I spent with him in Jinling. Brother-in-law, I don't want to be a fool in the future."
Jian Qiao: “…”
It’s terrible. The fool doesn’t want to be a fool anymore.
If he said something else, Jian Qiao might think he had other thoughts, but he was so frank that Jian Qiao really didn't know what to say.
Just at this moment, Zhang came back after wiping her face. She did not return to the table immediately, but stood quietly behind the curtain, not wanting to disturb their conversation.
Zhang didn't say anything, which actually meant that she also thought it was okay. Her husband was a general, and this was a fact that could not be changed. But she didn't want her brother to live such a life where life and death were at the mercy of fate. What's more, she knew her brother's character. She had always been worried that Zhang Biezhi would cause an irreparable disaster one day. She felt very sorry for her husband. Even for the sake of their small family, she hoped that her brother could serve in a more peaceful environment, at least not like now, where everyone was shouting for war and killing.
After understanding Zhang's attitude, Jian Qiao relaxed: "Then if I have time, I will mention it to Mr. Xiao."
Zhang Biezhi immediately clinked glasses with Jian Qiao happily: "Thank you, brother-in-law. When I become prosperous, I will definitely help you as well!"
Jian Qiao: “…………”
If you don't want to be a fool, you should learn how to speak first.
Xiao Rong didn't know that a fool was about to fall into his hands as he was wandering in the path of the palace.
He was not a person who liked to bow his head, but when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed his fault, and he didn't want to be an ungrateful person. When he thought of Yu Shaoxie's appearance yesterday, he couldn't even sleep well.
In fact, it would be better to go during the day, but there are more people during the day, and Xiao Rong always wants to delay, so he kept delaying until now.
If he didn't go in soon, Yu Shaoxie would probably fall asleep.
Staring at the light coming from inside, Xiao Rong made up his mind and stepped in.
Outside Yu Shaoxie's door, Xiao Rong knocked on it with a fearless attitude. Yu Shaoxie heard the noise and quickly came to open the door for him. When this door opened, the door next door also opened.
Yu Shaocheng poked his head out and saw that it was Xiao Rong. He didn't go back immediately out of worry, but tilted his head in confusion, not understanding why Xiao Rong was looking for his brother so late.
Xiao Rong: “…”
Yu Shaoxie noticed that he looked sluggish, so he looked around and saw Yu Shaocheng. He urged him, "Why don't you go to bed? What will you do if he doesn't come tomorrow?"
Yu Shaoxie didn't know that Yu Shaocheng didn't like to sleep, because when he was a child, Yu Shaocheng always kept his eyes open in the middle of the night, which scared Yu Shaoxie. He thought he was sick or had been infected by some unclean evil spirit. Later, seeing his brother so scared, he developed the habit of going into the room at a certain time. When his brother was there, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. When his brother was not there, he did something else.
Thanks to so many years of nocturnal activities, his eyesight is now better than a cat's, and he has no problem seeing at night. ...Next door.
Yu Shaoxie had already taken off his hair crown and outer coat. He had a rather delicate appearance to begin with, and now he was wearing soft and thin clothes. He looked less neat and more amiable than usual.
He asked Xiao Rong: "Why did you come here so late, brother Xiao?"
Xiao Rong sat there without saying anything.
He actually wanted to say it, but he couldn't say it. He was really not good at apologizing.
Yu Shaoxie looked at him in confusion. Facing such a gaze, Xiao Rong finally opened his mouth, but still no sound came out.
Xiao Rong: "..." Shame on you. So shameful.
Why not just go back?
It was neither right to leave nor to stay. Xiao Rong was so confused that smoke was coming out of his head. He clenched his hands tightly and finally uttered a sound: "I——"
After he made this sound, Yu Shaoxie, who had been watching him quietly, walked over. He lowered his head slightly and stretched out a hand. The dry and warm hand was placed on the top of his head extremely gently, rubbing it gently, as if he was stroking a fragile porcelain doll.
Xiao Rong looked up in a daze. He saw Yu Shaoxie chuckling at him. His smile was healing and tolerant, as if he already understood everything before he said anything. And as the person being accused, he didn't need to hear Xiao Rong say those two words because he had already forgiven him a long time ago.
Facing such a Yu Shaoxie, Xiao Rong had a feeling that he himself couldn't understand, as if... as if it didn't matter what he did, it didn't matter if he blamed him, slandered him, or hurt him, because he not only regarded himself as a friend, but also as a younger brother, and what brother would always be angry with his younger brother?
This feeling of being forgiven, tolerated, and loved no matter what you do, this feeling of always looking back and knowing there is someone encouraging you and waiting for you...
Before Xiao Rong could finish expressing his feelings, Yu Shaoxie said to him, "Okay, go back. Don't sleep so late in the future."
Xiao Rong didn't even want to leave, but Yu Shaoxie sent him out the door, and after a long, long time, Xiao Rong lay on his bed with his eyes still half-awake. He understood.
He finally understood why Yu Shaocheng kept chasing Qu Yunmie because his brother was killed.
Qu Yunmie, you have done so many bad things!!!
Qu Yunmie sneezed suddenly in his sleep and opened his eyes blankly, but before his consciousness officially turned on, his eyes gradually closed. The next second, the regular breathing sound sounded again.
