Chapter 0053 Good Sleep
There is a book called "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". The protagonist in the book was too lazy to paint the walls, so he deliberately said that he particularly liked painting the walls, in order to arouse the curiosity and rebelliousness of his friends. In the end, his friends worked for him for a day for free.
This is similar to Zhang Biezhi's mental journey. On weekdays, no matter how his sister and brother-in-law advised him not to look down on others, he never listened. But today, Xiao Rong did the opposite and encouraged him to look down on himself and kept emphasizing that he must look down on himself. Zhang Biezhi suddenly realized the truth his sister and brother-in-law wanted to teach him. This was really embarrassing. Not only were the onlookers laughing at him, but even Xiao Rong, the person he looked down upon, never took him seriously.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a story about a bunch of children. Although Zhang Biezhi is an adult, his mental age may not be as good as the children in the book. Jian Qiao has lived a very unfair life these years. If he could see through this, he would not be so angry every time he went home. …
Today is a special day for Zhang Biezhi, because his worldview has been shaken. If Xiao Rong is kind, he should let him go back and be in a daze for a night to digest the new information he has received. However, the problem is that this is impossible.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xiao Rong's expression changed subtly: "Why, you don't want to?"
Zhang Biezhi paused for a second, his face gradually flushed: "You're playing me like a monkey, how could I possibly agree?!"
Xiao Rong listened to his words, and suddenly he laughed: "Don't flatter you."
Zhang Biezhi: “…”
They will arrive in Jinling tomorrow, but Zhang Biezhi unexpectedly let him down. Xiao Rong immediately fired at him mercilessly: "A horse monkey can perform on stage after a few months of training. When it does a somersault, a group of people are willing to applaud it. What about you? After so many years in the army, have you ever done anything that others are willing to applaud you? You eat more than a horse monkey, and your things are more expensive than a horse monkey. If possible, I really want to exchange you for a hundred horse monkeys, so that I can at least open a circus to sell tickets. It's a pity that no businessman in this world will do business at a loss."
Zhang Biezhi: “…………”
Xiao Rong's nonchalant tone made him blush and his neck thicken. He held back his expression, but he couldn't say anything in response to Xiao Rong's words. He could only look at him angrily: "You actually scolded me!"
Xiao Rong's eyes moved over quickly, piercing Zhang Biezhi's face like needles, causing him to take a step back reflexively.
Even Qu Yunmie would be frightened by this look, it was no joke. …
Xiao Rong stared at Zhang Biezhi unexpectedly, then stood up suddenly: "I told you not to flatter me anymore, you are not worthy of being scolded by me! This trip to Jinling is going to be a success, listen carefully, Zhang Biezhi."
He repeated Zhang Biezhi's name in a grim voice, then took a step forward, shortening the distance between them. Xiao Rong looked coldly into Zhang Biezhi's eyes, scaring the latter so much that he forgot to breathe.
"——If you dare to ruin my plan, I don't care whose brother-in-law you are. Even if you are Qu Yunmie's grandfather, I will make you die in Jinling! If you don't believe me, try it. Use your own life as the price and see how I can kill people without shedding blood."
Zhang Biezhi: “…………”
Normally, he would not believe such words, but Xiao Rong's aura was really terrifying, and the twenty guards outside were all Qu Yunmie's personal soldiers. Zhang Biezhi had no doubt that if the two of them suddenly had an internal conflict, the twenty personal soldiers would come out and help Xiao Rong kill him without even asking. ... His life was so miserable.
When he rebelled in history, there were many factors that influenced it, such as Qu Yunmie's self-righteousness, the conflict between him and Jian Qiao, and the fact that he thought it was a farce. After all, it was just a child's play at the beginning. Who knew that he was the only one who took it as a child's play while everyone else took it seriously.
At this time, these factors did not appear. Besides, Zhang Biezhi was just stupid. He did not have the problem of killing innocent people. Qu Yunmie was really warlike and liked to eliminate evil personally. Zhang Biezhi just liked to bully people at most. He only took people's lives on the battlefield, and those were just one or two small-scale battles. The number of enemies he had killed was less than two palms.
So when Xiao Rong got serious, he became timid instead. He blinked much faster, and it was obvious that he was feeling guilty. After a moment of silence, he continued to retreat without leaving a trace, and whispered, "When my brother-in-law finds out your true identity, he will not let you go."
Xiao Rong: “…”
He glanced at the bruise on Zhang Biezhi's brow, and everything was said without words.
Zhang Biezhi: “…”
I feel even more wronged.
This is a sinister villain! How can he be as bright and clear as everyone usually says? Many people even praise him as the only elegant gentleman in the Zhenbei Army. Listen! Is there any gentleman who would threaten others like this?
Once he accepted the idea that Xiao Rong was a femme fatale, Zhang Biezhi felt that admitting defeat was not so shameful. After all, he was the only one who knew what kind of person Xiao Rong was, and he was the only one who was clear-headed, while everyone else was kept in the dark.
Pursing his lips, Zhang Biezhi muttered, "I know, I'll do as you say."
He wanted to run away after saying that, but Xiao Rong narrowed his eyes at him and suddenly stopped him: "Wait."
Xiao Rong asked: "How are you going to do it? Practice it for me here."
Before the truth was revealed, every action of Zhang Biezhi was purely natural, but now that it was revealed, his words and deeds would probably become stiff. Xiao Rong was worried and insisted that he perform well in front of him before he could leave.
So, Zhang Biezhi was tormented until midnight that night.
He even had an issue with how Xiao Rong laughed at him. The more he practiced, the more resentful he became. At a certain point, his resentment surpassed his fear of Xiao Rong, so he passed the test.
Zhang Biezhi: “…”
After a whole day of traveling the day before and only slept for two hours that night, Zhang Biezhi walked out of the room with dark eyes. He was more resentful today than yesterday.
However, when he saw Xiao Rong sitting at the table with a gloomy look on his face, Zhang Biezhi remembered that no matter how late he was, Xiao Rong would stay with him until that same hour. Moreover, when he left, Xiao Rong did not intend to go to sleep immediately, but sat at the desk, spread out a piece of paper, and was about to write something.
In addition to being famous for her beauty, intelligence, and extraordinary temperament, Xiao Rong was also famous for another thing, which was her weak physique.
After all the hardships one after another, even a young general like him, who was as strong as a calf, couldn't bear it, let alone this scholar who fell ill easily and even vomited blood in serious cases.
But Xiao Rong not only accepted it, he also never complained. He got up earlier than Zhang Biezhi, and when he saw Zhang Biezhi coming down, he told him to eat breakfast quickly and set off after eating.
