He hurriedly stopped him. \u201cAll right, all right, I know you can do it, but what use is it that you alone can do it? You could already climb up by yourself, but those who cannot climb also cannot throw it up. Besides, the noise from throwing it isn\u2019t small, and if the rope snapped midway\u2026. Ai, in short, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. It would be better to let the soldiers go up barehanded.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jian Qiao was a capable man. He said that in the whole army they could at most find four or five such men. In the end they really only found five. Jian Qiao found a smooth, straight tree and told them to try climbing it. The five of them shot up like monkeys, shua, shua, shua.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The city wall was harder to climb than a tree, but with such skill, climbing up wouldn\u2019t be a problem.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Five people, plus Qu Yunmie made six. Even though Xiao Rong had his cheat device, he still couldn\u2019t feel the slightest bit of peace of mind, but he wouldn\u2019t tell Qu Yunmie what he thought. He only tilted his head, looked at the copper basin on the ground for a while, and saw his own blurry reflection in it. After a moment, he suddenly lifted his head and said to Qu Yunmie, \u201cI brought the Chilong Sword.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A question mark appeared in Qu Yunmie\u2019s eyes. He didn\u2019t understand why Xiao Rong mentioned this. He wasn\u2019t going to give the Chilong Sword to him, and besides, no one used a thin sword on the battlefield.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily Xiao Rong didn\u2019t know what Qu Yunmie was thinking. Otherwise, even squatting, he would have kicked him. He only blinked his eyes and, for the first time, regarded Qu Yunmie as the commander of an army, asking him, \u201cTell me, can I go into battle to kill the enemy?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qu Yunmie: \u201c&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The question stunned Qu Yunmie. He carefully looked into Xiao Rong\u2019s eyes, found he wasn\u2019t joking, and only after a long while did he make a sound. \u201cYou are a scholar, a staff officer, a strategist. A strategist doesn\u2019t need to kill enemies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Rong said, \u201cChancellor Gao was also a scholar, your father\u2019s staff officer, your father\u2019s, your elder brother\u2019s, and your own strategist, yet even he personally led troops, let alone going into battle to kill enemies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qu Yunmie said, \u201cYou aren\u2019t the same as him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Rong hugged his legs. Suddenly he let go, stood up, and said, \u201cNot the same in what way? That I\u2019m not as brave as Chancellor Gao, or that I\u2019m not as healthy as him?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qu Yunmie: \u201c&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Life really was full of pitfalls.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He quietly watched Xiao Rong, sweat forming on his back. At last, after difficulty, he found an answer that wouldn\u2019t make Xiao Rong angry. \u201cIt\u2019s not you. It\u2019s I who am not as ruthless as my father. I wouldn\u2019t let my own strategist fall into danger.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling this was very well said, Qu Yunmie silently gave himself a thumbs up. Yet Xiao Rong looked at him and coldly said, \u201cFair words with a deceitful tongue.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qu Yunmie: \u201c&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He fell silent for a moment, then asked Xiao Rong, \u201cDo you really want to go into battle yourself?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Rong crossed his arms. Qu Yunmie thought he wouldn\u2019t answer, but then heard him stiffly say, \u201cI do not.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He could feel himself being assimilated step by step by this era. He saw the process clearly but didn\u2019t resist it. After all, whether he wanted it or not, from the day he came here, he had already become part of this time. Being able to blend in was better than being forever rejected.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, a man couldn\u2019t completely abandon his origins. The influence of the past eighteen and a half years was everywhere in Xiao Rong. He would have many thoughts, but whether those thoughts were truly his heart, that would only be known after he acted upon them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qu Yunmie put down his weapon. The Snow-Drinking Vengeance Spear was placed on the ground with a dull clang. Qu Yunmie stood up and looked at Xiao Rong\u2019s somewhat sullen profile and asked him again, \u201cThen why did you ask me whether you could go into battle to kill the enemy?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Rong glanced at him, not very happy, and answered, \u201cBecause I didn\u2019t want to be too far from you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing this, Qu Yunmie suddenly pressed his lips together, but he couldn\u2019t help letting out a laugh from his throat.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Rong asked, \u201cWhat are you laughing at?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What was so funny?!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing Xiao Rong\u2019s annoyed expression, Qu Yunmie almost laughed again, but this time he forced himself to hold it back. He made his face serious and then said, \u201cIn the past, the one who always had this thought was me. Now you and I have switched places, and I\u2014\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was still pondering how to phrase the rest, when Xiao Rong laughed. \u201cYou feel the wheel of fortune has turned, and I finally taste it as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qu Yunmie: \u201c&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Xiao Rong\u2019s words weren\u2019t far from what Qu Yunmie thought, he still wanted to set the record straight. \u201cI also feel uncomfortable here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Rong watched him point at his own chest with his finger.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qu Yunmie said, \u201cOf course, the feeling of being worried about, being cared for, is good, but if I also worry and care for that person at the same time, then the feeling isn\u2019t so pleasant. Now no one wants to end this war more than I do. Ah Rong, I promise you, in the first six days I won\u2019t leave your sight. As long as you look ahead, you will see where I am. On the seventh day, I will surely return victorious. I will cut off the heads of the Xianbei general and that Rouran man, and bring them back to you, so you can vent your anger.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Rong: \u201c&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What did he want two heads for?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blinking, Xiao Rong suddenly asked, \u201cWhat about the Xianbei Emperor? Where do you plan to take his head?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To sacrifice to his parents? Then take those two along too, good things come in threes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet Qu Yunmie shook his head. \u201cI don\u2019t plan to kill the Xianbei emperor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Rong blinked slowly, then his eyes suddenly widened.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You didn\u2019t spare the young emperor of the Central Plains, but when it comes to the Xianbei, you plan to let him go?!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Killing or not killing him wasn\u2019t so important, since the Xianbei were already finished. Even if this emperor lived, his fate was still house arrest. Xiao Rong was very puzzled. \u201cI remember you kept saying you would kill the Xianbei emperor. Why did you change your mind now? What do you want to do?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qu Yunmie smiled at Xiao Rong. \u201cI will tell you later.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Rong: \u201c&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather mysterious.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Rong looked to the side, not knowing what he was thinking. Qu Yunmie waited and, seeing his expression, couldn\u2019t help but ask, \u201cAh Rong, do you still trust me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Rong\u2019s jaw moved slightly. He half turned his head, slowly lifted his eyelids, and said, \u201cIf you return safely, then I will trust you. If you don\u2019t return\u2014\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qu Yunmie took it upon himself to finish the second half, \u201cYou won\u2019t let me go even as a ghost.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Rong looked at him, but then strangely smiled. Under Qu Yunmie\u2019s confused gaze, Xiao Rong slightly shook his head.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said, \u201cNo. Now I also understand some truths. If someone wants to harm you, that isn\u2019t your fault. I don\u2019t need to cling to you even after death. If you don\u2019t return, then the bond between you and me in this life is severed. From the moment my heart stops beating, all that passes between us will vanish into smoke. Why should I still bother with you? If you truly don\u2019t return, then I will bless your next life with peace and smoothness, free from war. As for me, you needn\u2019t worry, because in your next life, I won\u2019t be there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qu Yunmie\u2019s expression changed, and though Xiao Rong knew he was angry, he still finished. \u201cI\u2019m not threatening you, but it\u2019s the truth. If the next life really exists, I will beg everyone I can beg, Gods or men, only so that I won\u2019t know you again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qu Yunmie stared at him. After a long moment, he pulled up the corner of his mouth and smiled. \u201cImpressive.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to wounding with words, no one in this world is your match.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then he laughed again. \u201cNo, perhaps when it comes to wounding with words, someone can surpass you. But when it comes to wounding me with words, you are second to none.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Rong looked at him with the same expression. No matter what Qu Yunmie said, he remained unmoved.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qu Yunmie lowered his gaze. After two breaths, he spoke again to Xiao Rong. \u201cThe bond in this life I want, and the bond in the next life I also want. Whether we are entangled isn\u2019t for you alone to decide. Before heaven and earth, you and I are the same. Whoever you can pray to, I can pray to as well. Guess who will win between you and me in stubbornness?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having said this, he picked up the Snow-Drinking Vengeance Spear from the ground, and finally smiled once more at Xiao Rong. \u201cI don\u2019t wish to contend with you, but in this matter I will win. Whether it is a cursed bond or a good bond, since it is my bond, no one can take it from my hands. Even you cannot. Do you think the Northern Army is a place where one can come and go as they please?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seven days from now, the gates of Shengle City will open. Mister Xiao, I hope at sunrise I will see your figure in Shengle City. Remember, don\u2019t be late.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After that, Qu Yunmie turned and left. His steps weren\u2019t the same as usual, but somewhat heavier. Clearly, he was far less calm inside than he appeared.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xiao Rong watched his back as he left. Only after he had walked away for quite a while did Xiao Rong finally speak to the empty royal command tent. \u201cI will go.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As long as you give me this chance.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Edited by: Antiope<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Qu Yunmie raised his brows, then opened his mouth to speak, and Xiao Rong, seeing his expression, immediately felt a headache.
