Chapter 0013: Circling the City for Three Days
Xiao Rong rubbed the place where he was pushed and muttered unhappily, "Dog temper."
He used so much force that he felt his ribs were bruised.
It was dark, and the lights on the tower were not so bright. Qu Yunmie did not hear Xiao Rong's words, nor did he see him open his mouth, so he took a few steps back before asking Xiao Rong: "What are you doing here?"
Hearing this question, Xiao Rong stopped rubbing the wound and got into the state in a second: "I heard that General Yuan returned victoriously and brought some clues. So I came to look for the king--"
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly paused.
Because he saw that Qu Yunmie on the opposite side was tense all over, with a pair of sharp wolf eyes, staring at Xiao Rong warily.
Xiao Rong was self-aware. Not to mention the weak version of him, even the healthy version of him could not defeat Qu Yunmie, who achieved the achievement of killing a hundred people with a single sword in history.
According to the legend, after his knife broke, he used his bare hands to tear two soldiers to pieces alive before he was finally surrounded by the army and captured.
Of course, this may be an exaggeration. However, the fact that such an exaggerated statement can be circulated about the loser is enough to prove Qu Yunmie's bravery.
Therefore, his vigilance was definitely not because he was worried that Xiao Rong would do something bad to him, but because he was wary of what he was going to say next.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Rong had no intention of caring about his feelings and said what he wanted to say: "I originally thought that a traitor must have a way to betray. Nanyong is indeed capable of allying with the Xianbei and using such a cruel method, but the actual ruler of Nanyong, the uncle of the king, is still a man of integrity from the Central Plains. With him around, those villains will be a little afraid. If he knows the whole story, those traitors will not get any good results even if they go to Nanyong."
"Now that I've heard the news General Yuan brought back, I feel relieved. It's better to know the enemy's roots than to hide them."
Qu Yunmie listened to his words and subconsciously relaxed his arms.
He thought that Xiao Rong, like Yuan Baifu, came to persuade him that a little impatience would ruin a big plan, and that he should stop pursuing Li Xiuheng.
Sitting back under the eaves, Qu Yunmie was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Li Xiuheng——"
Xiao Rong sat down next to Qu Yunmie and listened to him attentively.
Qu Yunmie: “…”
To be honest, there are many people who are loyal to him all the time.
But in front of him, no one dared to be as familiar as Xiao Rong, and so...feel that they were no longer outsiders. ...How shameless.
Although he thought so in his heart, Qu Yunmie did not drive Xiao Rong away. This was also a blind spot in other people's knowledge. Everyone knew that Qu Yunmie had a bad temper and was prone to anger, so they did not dare to provoke him easily. Therefore, no one discovered that he was actually quite casual. As long as the sensitive nerve in his heart was not touched, he would not get angry.
Enduring this rather strange feeling of being watched, he continued, "Since the sixth year of Guangjia, Li Xiuheng has been living in hiding for ten years. The Zhenbei Army wants to eat his flesh and drink his blood, but they are also Zhenbei Army. Every year, some people are bewitched by him and defect to the enemy."
Xiao Rong showed an understanding look on his face. "After all, he is the second commander of the Zhenbei Army after General Qu. For thirteen years, the Zhenbei Army has been following his orders. It is normal for some people to miss the old times."
Xiao Rong thought he was being objective, but Qu Yunmie suddenly looked at him and said, "Why would such a rat miss him? He was the one who insisted on bringing everyone to serve the Yong Dynasty. When Emperor Guangjia ordered the migration to the south, no one came to inform us! Do you know how angry the Hu people were when they found out that the emperor was migrating south? We, along with the common people, were abandoned by that dog emperor. If the Hu people hadn't come so quickly, I would have chopped Li Xiuheng into pieces!"
Xiao Rong stared at him blankly, and Qu Yunmie's eyes moved slightly. Seeing Xiao Rong's inability to react, he seemed to understand and said with a sarcastic smile: "That's right, sir, you are from Linchuan, how can you know the situation back then."
Xiao Rong: “…”
