Qu Yunmie: "You accuse me of being short-sighted?!"
Xiao Rong continued to lower his head: "My words are rough but the truth is true."
Gao Xunzhi: “…………”Awesome.
Qu Yunmie's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he heard: "Xiao Rong! You are so brave!"
Xiao Rong took a deep breath and raised his head. His expression at this moment was not much more gentle than Qu Yunmie's.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Majesty. I'm not the kind of aide who only knows how to flatter. If Your Majesty insists on doing what he wants, I will risk my life to persuade him, even if it means that Your Majesty really wants me to die."
Qu Yunmie: “…”
Who said I wanted to kill you!
Staring closely at Xiao Rong's eyes, the two looked at each other with swords drawn. Qu Yunmie gritted his teeth and suppressed his temper: "Today's incident will not happen again. Don't mention the matter of recruiting monks again!"
After saying that, he wanted to leave, but Xiao Rong quickly took a step forward. Gao Xunzhi was still standing between them, but he nimbly bypassed him without even touching the corner of his clothes.
Gao Xunzhi, who was already confused, said: "..."
What the hell, it will be gone in a flash.
Over there, Xiao Rong blocked Qu Yunmie's way: "Why!!"
"I've already said that after I invite the Buddhist disciple, I won't let him stay in the army. I'll just build a temple for him. Can't I just have him preach the sutras every day and give the people some peace?!"
Qu Yunmie's footsteps were nailed to the ground. He felt extremely irritated: "Listening to the sutras can bring peace. Peace is gained from fighting on the battlefield and is built with the blood of countless soldiers. If your mind is unstable, you don't need to listen to the sutras, but to kill a few barbarians yourself and use their blood to comfort the suffering of these years!"
Xiao Rong shouted at him angrily: "Not everyone is as wise and brave as you!"
Qu Yunmie: "So what! I——"
Wait, what did Xiao Rong just say?
Qu Yunmie was stunned on the spot, Xiao Rong was still outputting to him: "Some people are born timid, and some are born honest. Why should we force everyone to have a strong mind? Do people who don't have it not deserve to live! Yes, there are many cheating sorcerers in the world, but there are also true kind people like Buddhists who have great love! Who has an easy life in troubled times? Who hasn't lost a few relatives? Even if it is just a fictitious beautiful afterlife and a non-existent reunion after death, don't you want them to have it!"
Qu Yunmie: “…………”
He stared at Xiao Rong in a daze. Xiao Rong felt exhausted because he had shouted too loudly just now. He paused, took a step back, as if he had lost all his strength, and sighed softly: "How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan, and how can a swan understand the suffering of a sparrow? Your Majesty is the most courageous man in the world, so your Majesty does not need the embellishment of Buddhism. Little do you know that what your Majesty does not need and hates is the only thing that the people can get."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Rong sighed again, and then turned his head slightly, as if he couldn't bear to look any further. His side face happened to be facing Qu Yunmie, allowing him to see the loneliness and sadness on Xiao Rong's face.
After a moment, Xiao Rong turned and left without saying a word.
Qu Yunmie stood there, his hands hanging by his side gradually clenched into fists. No one knew what he was thinking. Suddenly, he looked at Gao Xunzhi beside him and said three words to him stiffly: "I am not wrong!"
Gao Xunzhi was stunned, and like Xiao Rong, he bowed his head to show his submission, but did not say a word.
Qu Yunmie looked at him like this and couldn't help but speak again: "I..."
He couldn't continue talking. Finally, he angrily threw his sleeves and left.
Only when he could no longer hear the footsteps did Gao Xunzhi slowly straighten his back, put his hands behind his back, and his beard moved slightly. After a while, Gao Xunzhi looked into the distance and nodded.
"Yeah, I learned it."
