"But you are right. I thought of you after I was shot by an arrow. This means nothing to you. I thought about it many times last night. But no matter how I think about it, if I go back to that day, I will still do it. I will fight them and rob my mother's body, because this is who I am. I have no other choice."
Xiao Rong raised his arm, as if he wanted to change his posture, but halfway through he didn't know how to do another posture, so he slowed down, put his arm down again, and swallowed the blockage in his throat. Xiao Rong asked him: "Leaving the army, fighting to the red eye, do you want to continue doing these?"
Qu Yunmie frowned, "This is a different question. At that time, I was just acting on instinct. I didn't think, so I don't know what I would do."
Xiao Rong was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his eyes and looked at the ground. After a moment, he nodded continuously and laughed out loud: "You are really good."
After saying this, Xiao Rong raised his head with a smile: "This is the result of your thinking all night. You told me that you know you are wrong, but you won't change anything. Then you told me what to do, just to make things difficult for me!"
When he said the last sentence, Xiao Rong's voice could be described as fierce. Qu Yunmie looked at him, then slowly put his arm down.
"I'm not saying I won't change. The same thing won't happen again. They can't take advantage of my parents a second time. As for my other weaknesses...most of them stay in Chenliu City. As long as Chenliu is impregnable, no one can take advantage of them. As for those outside of Chenliu, you stay by my side. I will protect you with my life. I will never die in front of you unless it is absolutely necessary or God wants me to die. If despair really reaches that point and I can't protect you or myself, then we'll die together."
Qu Yunmie spoke very seriously. He really thought about it for a whole night and then came to this conclusion.
Xiao Rong's two questions confused him. He didn't understand why Xiao Rong could come so quickly. It was almost as if Xiao Rong had arrived before he was hit by the arrow, or just after he was hit by the arrow. And no matter whether he asked Gao Xunzhi or Agusega, they were evasive, as if there was something they didn't want to tell him. Qu Yunmie might not like to use his brain, but he was not really stupid. He gradually realized something, and then he couldn't sleep at all.
When Xiao Rong listened to Qu Yunmie's words, he felt it was absurd, funny and astringent.
Qu Yunmie didn't understand anything. Binding was one-way. He was a free person. How could he come to the same conclusion as the system? How stupid.
Xiao Rong took a deep breath, and then said to Qu Yunmie: "I don't like the result of dying together, and I don't like the word death. I want to live, and I want everyone to live."
Qu Yunmie nodded: "I will also try my best to keep you alive, keep everyone alive. That is only the most desperate situation, when the time, place and people are not on my side, when God is determined to get rid of me, that will happen. Even if there is still a little chance, even the slimmest chance of winning, I will not give up. I can't let you down, right?"
Xiao Rong looked at him steadily and answered him with one word: "Yes."
Afterwards, he lowered his eyes as if avoiding her, and then asked Qu Yunmie: "Maybe there won't be such a plan in the future, but the same thing will still happen. You also said that you can't control yourself. What will you do then? You won't remember me, nor will you remember what I said today, and you won't remember what you promised me."
Qu Yunmie hummed: "I really can't control myself, but you can."
He asked Xiao Rong: "Outside Huaiyin City, do you remember?"
After being reminded by him, Xiao Rong remembered the solemnity and bloodiness of that night. Qu Yunmie was injured in front of him, and then there was a bloody fight. But after hearing Xiao Rong's voice, he suddenly turned around. Xiao Rong would never forget Qu Yunmie's expression at that time.
Xiao Rong's voice also began to become difficult: "I didn't play such a big role. The situation that day was different from that of Mid-Autumn Festival."
That day Qu Yunmie just thought he was injured, which was far less serious than the one on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Qu Yunmie looked at his face but couldn't tell what he was thinking. Qu Yunmie wanted to explain something, but he didn't know how to explain it, just like he didn't know why thinking that Xiao Rong was dead would bring such a big shock to him.
Moreover, he had a feeling that the impact was growing day by day. He had simply lost his mind that day. If the same thing happened again, Qu Yunmie didn't know what he would do.
If I can't explain it, then I won't explain it. Qu Yunmie said, "Just wait and see. I have learned the lessons I can and tried my best. I really don't want to see you disappointed in me again."
Xiao Rong looked at him for a long time.
Qu Yunmie thought about it seriously and gave everything he could. This was the best he could do. He couldn't do anything beyond his ability.
This was not the result Xiao Rong wanted. What he wanted more was for Qu Yunmie to completely listen to him from now on and never put himself in danger again.
But the current result seems not so bad. There are things that people cannot do, especially when it comes to life and death. Everything really depends on fate, and no one can guarantee that they will die of old age.
The depressing and gloomy fog that had been lingering in his heart since the Mid-Autumn Festival seemed to have dissipated a little. Xiao Rong didn't understand why he suddenly felt a little relieved. This was obviously not the result he wanted.
He pursed his lips, feeling a little tired of standing. He walked towards Qu Yunmie, then sat down beside him, lowered his head and thought quietly.
Qu Yunmie did not disturb him. He just gently looked at Xiao Rong's profile. How a person could make his eyes look so gentle, no one probably knew, but Qu Yunmie had this ability. When he looked at Xiao Rong, every part of him was thinking about Xiao Rong. Even these eyes that made countless people feel scared could become tender.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Rong suddenly asked, "Should we transport the remains of General Qu and Chief Ishtar back to Chenliu for reburial?"
Qu Yunmie blinked and paused for a moment before answering: "No, let them stay at the foot of Yanmen Mountain. This is their home. We can send more people to guard it in the future. Maybe it is not necessary to guard it. Yanmen Mountain will no longer be the national border."
Xiao Rong turned his head and looked at Qu Yunmie as he said this calmly. He couldn't help but sneer, wanting to mock him for bragging again. But after really looking at Qu Yunmie, he turned his head back.
The two feet on the ground were standing on tiptoe unconsciously.
Feeling that Xiao Rong's mood had recovered, Qu Yunmie slowly stood up. He moved closer to Xiao Rong and asked unexpectedly, "Can I call you Ah Rong now?"
Xiao Rong smiled and turned his head: "First explain why you deliberately made me angry."
Qu Yunmie: “…”
The two looked at each other, one holding a grudge, the other feeling guilty.
After a moment, they looked away tacitly, and Xiao Rong said, "I'll go write a letter."
Qu Yunmie nodded: "I'll take a nap."
Just like that, the king's tent became quiet again.
