Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

"What?" Rong Youtang paled in shock, and jumped up from the grand master's chair.

"His Royal Highness was injured?" Rong Kaiji was stunned, although he was not as worried as his son, but he was also worried about his benevolent nobleman, and quickly asked: "Where is the injury? It doesn't matter?"

Rong Youtang didn't have time to put on his boots, so he rushed to Guo Da with his socks on, his heart beating like a drum, and he asked nervously, "Mr. Guo, what's going on? Has Your Highness returned home?"

"Don't panic. His Highness is injured on his leg. It's cold and it's not suitable to run back and forth. He rested in Beiying. I just went to ask for leave on his behalf. He will be missing a few days in the morning, so I stopped by your house for a cup of tea." Guo Dayi Pressing the boy with his palm, feeling a little irritable, he tore off the tie of the cloak, and casually threw it on the back of the chair.

"Oh! I'm so rude, please take a seat, please take a seat." Rong Kaiji came back to his senses, and hurriedly greeted the distinguished guests.

Rong Youtang took the tea tray brought by the housekeeper, served tea to Guo Da, and asked anxiously: "Mr. Guo, Your Highness is injured on his leg? Is it serious? What did the doctor say?"

Guo Da sat down, took the tea, did not speak, and glanced casually at Father Rong and Li Shun, and the latter two immediately came to their senses, Father Rong wisely told him: "Tang'er, you are welcome to General Guo, I will arrange it." Dinner."

"Yes."

"There's no need for dinner, I'm rushing out of the city to return to the camp. Besides, although it's not a shocking event..." Guo Da stopped talking.

Rong Kaiji made a clear promise: "General, please rest assured that the Caomin family will keep their mouths shut!"

Guo Da smiled, and said casually, "I know you guys are prudent, but it's just a reminder, go ahead."

"Yes."

There was a "creak" sound on the door of the study room, and it was slammed shut.

"Mr. Guo," Rong Youtang calmed down a little, and asked full of expectation: "You are rushing out of the city, can I go to Beiying together?"

Guo Da took a sip of the tea in a restless mood, and accidentally grinned. He put down the teacup and boasted, "Congratulations on your promotion. At such a young age, you have already earned from a fifth-rank Hanlin, which is rare in ancient and modern times."

"My lord, it's absurdly praised. It all depends on His Majesty's support and your nobles' appreciation." Rong Youtang said humbly, with longing eyes.

"Hey, manly man, it's useless to rely on others' appreciation, you have to rely on your own ability, you are smart and clever, and you will show up sooner or later!" Guo Da praised him, and finally informed in a low voice: "Your Highness is injured in his left leg. , the calf was almost cut open, the old man had a cut, and the skin was ripped apart and bloody."

The calf was cut open?

Rong Youtang subconsciously looked down at his calf, and couldn't help shivering, unimaginable, and asked with fear, "The blood... has it stopped?"

"Of course it stopped, otherwise how dare I go back to the city?" Guo Da said with a serious face, "Your Highness heard that you were questioned by His Majesty, and was very worried. Ask me to come and see, are you okay?"

"It's nothing, it's just an ordinary question." Rong Youtang avoided answering.

Guo Da looked down and looked at the opponent's knees, but didn't say anything.

Rong Youtang asked anxiously: "Your Highness was fine yesterday, why did you suddenly get injured?"

"Alas!" Guo Da gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Isn't it because of saving His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince!"

"Your Highness Seventh?" Rong Youtang was stunned: "What does it have to do with him?"

"He was married by His Majesty, and he came to Beiying on horseback. He asked Zhuokai to make a 'last farewell', stalking and yelling, but his cousin and I were still on the way out of the city at that time! So they agreed, and the two met in the wilderness outside the camp, arguing and arguing, Zhuo Kai didn't know what he refused, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince vented his anger on the horse, and actually vented his anger on the horse, the whip almost broke, and even used a dagger, the horse galloped in fright, He was so frightened that he called for help. We couldn’t just leave him alone, right? In the end he was saved by his cousin. But——” Guo Da couldn’t bear it anymore, he slapped the table and roared in a low voice, “His Royal Highness Seventh panicked, and he waved his dagger wildly. At that time, a lot of horses and people gathered together, and in the chaos, my cousin was stabbed! Tell me, what is this called!"

"Really, really..." Rong Youtang was shocked and dumbfounded.

Guo Da stood up and asked, "Do you want to go to Beiying?"

Rong Youtang nodded, put on his boots neatly, tried his best to help shake Guo Da's snow-stained cloak, then shook his own, and quickly put it on, resolutely.

"But don't you want to catch the morning court tomorrow? Rest in Beiying, and you have to go back to the city in the dark."

"It's okay. Mr. Guo, I want to go and see His Highness." Rong Youtang was so anxious that he wished he could fly to the northern suburbs.

Guo Da compromised and nodded: "Okay, let's go."

The biting north wind whizzed by, sweeping the goose feathers and snowflakes flying all over the sky.

Riding against the wind is difficult for both people and horses. Fortunately, the snow on the road is not deep and they can still run.

After half an hour, Rong Youtang's ten fingers were numb and numb due to the cold. Even though he covered his face, his cheeks and nose were still flushed and painful. He reined in his horse and shouted in the wind and snow, "Woo!"

At the gate of the camp, Guo Da got off his horse, followed by Rong Youtang, the two handed over the reins to the accompanying soldiers, walked quickly, and rushed to the commander's meeting hall.

"Refer to the general for a humble position!"

"General."

……

Guo Da felt the wind blowing under his feet, nodding his head as he walked.

Rong Youtang is familiar with the way, he was originally a subordinate of Beiying, he followed Guo Da unimpeded, he hurriedly stepped into the threshold, and almost bumped into the person who came out in front of him!

"what--"

"Hey!" Hong Lei reacted quickly and quickly dodged sideways. He was hardworking in the barracks, brave and resolute, he had already put on his personal soldier robe, and he was in charge of a small group of recruits.

Guo Da stabilized Rong Youtang in time: "Don't worry."

"Yuko?" Hong Lei was delighted for a moment, then he restrained his smile in a blink of an eye, bowing his head in a respectful greeting: "I see you as a general for a lowly position."

"No need to be too polite." Guo Da stepped into the room first.

"Leizi!" Rong Youtang raised his hand and patted Hong Lei's shoulder to show his intimacy, but he was so anxious that he couldn't control himself and looked inside.

Hong Lei responded with a punch, hitting his friend on the shoulder more than lightly, and urged clearly: "Your Highness is in the room, you go in quickly, let's talk again when you are free."

Rong Youtang nodded gratefully, then patted the other party's shoulder vigorously, hurried into the bedroom next to the study room behind the conference hall, and fixed his eyes and saw: King Qing was lying on his back, his chest was blocked by Guo Da who was sitting three feet in front of the kang bed The seventh prince, Zhao Zewu, was dejected and lost his soul, with his shoulders slumped at the end of the bed; Zhuo Kai knelt a foot away from the bed, fists clenched.

At the same time, a bloody smell rushed over, lingering.

Rong Youtang was terrified, approached calmly, and called softly: "Your Highness?"

Guo Da turned his head when he heard the news, revealing the pale Zhao Zeyong.

"It's snowing in the cold winter, it's troublesome to go out of the city, you can go home later, don't delay the court." Zhao Zeyong's face softened, and he spoke with concern and reproach.

"I..." Rong Youtang lost his voice, staring intently at King Qing's pale face and lips.

"Huh?" Zhao Zeyong raised his voice at the end, his eyes were warm and focused.

Rong Youtang woke up startled, his heart beating like a drum, and he saluted indiscriminately: "Kowtow to His Royal Highness King Qing and His Royal Highness the Seventh."

"Oh, Brother Rong is here." Zhao Zewu was in a trance, immersed in sadness and loneliness.

"Come here, serve tea." Zhao Zeyong ordered, feeling sorry for the other party's reddened nose and cheeks, as well as the snow-covered long and slender eyelashes, which were melted and dripped by the temperature of the kang bed.

Rong Youtang took off his cloak, shook the snow, wiped his eyes with his sleeves, and took the tea served by the soldiers. His thoughts were confused, and he served tea to the Seventh Prince, Guo Da——even to Zhuo Kai who was kneeling to plead guilty!

Zhuo Kai shook his head slightly.

Rong Youtang suddenly realized, and said silently: "I'm sorry." He served tea to King Qing at the end, Guo Da took the initiative to back away and let out the round stool in front of the bed.

"Your Highness, please have some tea." Rong Youtang mistakenly thought that King Qing was thirsty and was about to take care of the wounded and drink tea, but King Qing used the curtain of the bed to cover him, silently held the other's left hand, which was red and swollen with cold, and dragged him into the room. Warm the quilt, rub it vigorously, and whisper: "You drink, warm your body."

Rong Youtang reversed his grip and held it firmly. He wanted to do a lot of things, but due to the occasion, he could only anxiously glance at the opponent's legs under the quilt.

at the same time

Guo Da stood upright with his hands behind his back, looked helplessly at Zhuo Kai, and asked, "Your Highness, how do you think we should deal with today's affairs?"

Before King Qing could open his mouth, Zhao Zewu came back to his senses, like waking up from a dream, ran to the couch in a panic, knelt on the footrest, and said righteously: "Third brother, I blame me for being confused today, and it has nothing to do with him. Punish me!"

"The last general was negligent and incompetent, and caused His Highness to be injured. Ten thousand deaths are inevitable. I beg you to punish me severely!" Zhuo Kai's eyes were red and swollen, and he walked forward on his knees.

"Master Wu is the one who does the work and the other is responsible. What crime are you rushing to ask for?" Zhao Zewu turned his head and reprimanded him, pretending to be indifferent. It was the countless times he faced the handsome general who was dreaming of him, the countless times he fell in love with him, and the countless times he was bored and ignored by the other party.

Zhuo Kai didn't look sideways, "Bang bang bang", kowtowed his head firmly, and said guiltily: "Your Highness, I will be incompetent in the end, please punish me."

"Hey, stop! You idiot, you knocked your head carefully and turned into a fool." Zhao Zewu wanted to help.

Zhuo Kai resolutely avoided, endured his hatred, and desperately begged the coach for forgiveness.

You... what will happen when you each get married and start a family in the future?Rong Youtang was thoughtful and pondered silently, knowing that he could not escape the similar hurdle in front of him.

"Third brother calm down, listen to me for a moment, okay?" Zhao Zewu asked for instructions in a low voice, and he was determined not to look at Zhuo Kai again.

King Qing looked at it for a while, and then slowly ordered: "Lao Qi stays, and the rest go out." After speaking, he let go of his warm hand, and patted it comfortingly.

"Yes." Rong Youtang and Guo Da took the order together.

Zhuo Kai was at a loss, then panicked and shouted in despair: "Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Zhao Zeyong ordered solemnly: "Zhuo Kai, you go down first to handle your duties."

"Zhuo Kai, let's go!" Guo Da urged, Rong Youtang gave him a hand: "Brother Kai, let's go."

After a while, there were only two brothers left in the room.

"You and I are of the same generation, get up, don't kneel." King Qing reminded with a straight face.

"Third Brother, I'm sorry for you." Zhao Zewu choked up and apologized, and insisted on kneeling on the footrest.

King Qing noticed that his younger brother's fingertips were trembling, and asked in a deep voice, "So you also know that you are afraid?"

"I was almost trampled to death by a frightened horse, can you not be afraid?" Empress Zhao Zewu was terrified, and asked nervously, "It's all my fault that you are hurt like this. You can beat or scold me, but you, can you not tell the emperor? I I really don’t want to be banned again.”

Prince Qing was expressionless, and solemnly warned, "Xiao Wu, remember, this is not an example. Next time, I will tell my father the truth."

Zhao Zewu nodded his head heavily: "Understood! If I commit the crime again, I will apologize to my father myself, and I have no face to bother you."

"If you dare to run wild with your horse in the camp, I will not forgive you lightly! But today you are outside the camp, the crime will be reduced, and with brotherhood in mind, I can't just sit and watch you being trampled to death by a horse." Prince Qing said coldly .

"Third brother, I'm really sorry. You are a great adult and always help me, but I don't know what to do and disrespect. I really deserve to be hit!" The hands slapped the mouth by themselves, bowed left and right, and the slaps "cracked" crisply.

"Enough." King Qing frowned and stopped, feeling very headache.

"From now on, you are like my own brother, and you will go through fire and water in the future!" Zhao Zewu made a solemn promise, and then explained in a low voice: "I didn't intend to hurt anyone, but I just used the dagger to scare Xiao Zhuo. , turn around and leave!"

"Scaring Zhuo Kai? You forced him by self-mutilation? Crying and committing suicide, where did you learn such absurd tricks?" King Qing's face was unbelievable, unbelievable, and he reprimanded: "Bastard, worthless Things, it's a disgrace, it's in vain for the descendants of the Zhao family!"

"I, I know I was wrong."

Zhao Zewu was full of remorse, complained in embarrassment, and muttered: "For no reason, why did the emperor suddenly give me a marriage? I have no interest in the girl of Pingjiahou's mansion."

King Qing didn't show any mercy, spoke harshly, and angrily reprimanded: "The edict of bestowing marriage has not yet been issued, if you are not satisfied, try to refuse quickly, if you have the guts to harm yourself, why don't you have the guts to solve the trouble?"

"My mother and my elder brother agree very much. I hope that the emperor will grant the marriage right away! Third brother, I have nowhere to go. Please help me." Zhao Zewu carefully courted him.

Right now

Rong Youtang and Guo Da were sitting opposite each other in the side hall, warming their hands around the brazier.

"The matter is very important, have you discussed it with His Highness?" Guo Da was greatly surprised.

Rong Youtang shook his head: "Not yet."

"Are you planning to cut first and play later? Beware of your highness's fury, no one will be able to save you then." Guo Da frowned.

"That's not true. I'm thinking about it. I don't want to miss this opportunity. In order to avoid becoming a weakness in the future, I have to make a breakthrough." Rong Youtang resolutely said, "I can't rely on His Highness's protection for the rest of my life!"
