Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

"What method?" Rong Youtang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked humbly, "Young Master, please teach me."

"Come." Guo Da beckoned, and the young man immediately approached and listened carefully.After a while, Rong Youtang was stunned, and asked with extreme curiosity: "The person His Highness values ​​most? Who is that?"

"Shhh, don't ask yet, he will arrive at night, we'll talk about it later." Guo Da waved his hand, unfathomable.

"Will His Highness accept his advice?" Rong Youtang muttered anxiously.

"Yes! If he doesn't persuade me, I'm really lost." Guo Da sighed.

Rong Youtang respectfully said: "Okay, let's talk about it when that senior comes." After a pause, he cautiously reminded: "However, if you ask for help without telling His Highness, he will be angry, right?"

"It's okay, at most I will be scolded a few times, my cousin will forgive me sooner or later." Guo Da scratched his head, comforting him with little confidence.

"I believe His Highness will understand." Rong Youtang echoed, he stared at the falling snowflakes, and said apologetically: "It's just that I may cause you to be scolded, I feel very sorry."

"Hey, that doesn't matter, I have my own countermeasures. Don't you know His Highness well? He always treats his cronies softly rather than hard, just admit his mistakes and repent honestly." Guo Da pointed out carelessly.

Rong Youtang nodded in agreement, and wished he could put his hands together and pray reverently: "I hope that senior can successfully persuade His Highness, so that he can recover from his injuries with peace of mind."

Oh, I can't bear it...

Guo Da complained secretly, was irritable and had a headache, kicked the snow with his feet, and then pointed out: "Brother Rong, people don't listen to reason when they are angry. When you discuss with His Highness, don't just analyze the interests, so as not to Arouse Your Highness's strong and stubborn temperament."

"Thank you, sir, for your advice." Rong Youtang bowed his hands respectfully, and said solemnly: "I will take a two-day rest and return to the city tomorrow evening at the latest. If His Highness still disagrees by then, I can only offend him first. To be honest, Shang That memorial is tantamount to admitting mistakes and giving in, and declaring your position too late will have no effect."

Guo Da leaned against the column, his tall and broad body shielded him from the wind and snow, and he sighed sincerely: "Brother Rong, I really didn't expect that you are more sober than Your Highness!"

"The status and status are very different, so the views are naturally different."

Rong Youtang was calm, and explained with a wry smile: "Your Majesty is His Royal Highness's father, and his kinship is deeply rooted in blood, but even if he is as close as a father and son, His Highness still cannot be stubborn, otherwise he will be regarded as disobedient. What about me? To me, Your Majesty It’s a non-negotiable ‘the emperor must die’. I was summoned to the palace to kneel a few times as punishment, and gradually I became sober.”

"Hiss..." Guo Da changed his posture and said apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't mean to accuse you."

"You're being polite." Rong Youtang said calmly and openly, "I've thought about it for a long time, and after thinking about it, I think it's better to take the initiative to take a step back. The two don't always meet in the capital, lest His Majesty will be angry, or become an opponent to attack huge weakness."

Guo Da felt the same way, with mixed feelings in his heart, his nose was red with cold, his toes kicked the snow unconsciously, and he muttered, "Fortunately, you understand righteousness, otherwise I really don't know how to persuade you."

Although the other party was almost whispering, Rong Youtang's ears were sharp and he could hear clearly. After a little thought, he asked clearly: "Is it the old lady or Lord Hou?"

"My grandmother and father both know the situation, and they are very worried about His Royal Highness." Unable to hide it anyway, Guo Da looked around vigilantly for a moment, and simply revealed in a cryptic way: "Brother Rong, people like us are very worried about His Royal Highness." It is natural to have high expectations when you land on the ground. I believe everyone understands it. Although my grandfather has already died heroically for the country, he left behind a large number of loyal old tribes. The expectations of the generals—at this juncture, do you understand? Huh?"

Zhonggong's concubine probably won't be able to support them anymore, they are all dragon sons, who can have no idea?

——My existence not only stabbed His Majesty's eyes, but also added to the obstruction of Beihou Mansion and its many loyal followers.

Rong Youtang was dejected, took a deep breath, and resolutely said: "I understand, otherwise I wouldn't bother you to be a lobbyist."

"Good boy!" Guo Da slapped the other party's shoulder heavily, full of appreciation and guilt, and said sadly: "I don't have any objections, but at home... Sigh, I have been questioned every time I go home recently, it's really embarrassing."

"I'm really sorry for making it difficult for you. I've made up my mind, regardless of whether His Highness agrees or not, the memorial must be submitted to try to calm His Majesty's dissatisfaction as soon as possible." Rong Youtang gritted his teeth, clenched his hands in his sleeves, His joints turned white and his fingertips trembled.

The north wind howled, wrapped in snowflakes and drilled in along the neckline of the sleeves, it was bitingly cold.

Because I went out early, it was time now.

Rong Youtang and Guo Da met and chatted in the outer corridor of the conference hall, until King Qing sent someone to look for them: "General Guo, Lord Rong, Your Highness welcomes you."

"understood."

"Immediately!" Guo Da turned his head and waved his hand, and the little soldier obeyed the order and ran away.Guo Da was heartbroken, took out the medicated oil prepared in advance, stuffed it into the opponent's hand, and said with concern: "This is a secret gold-chuang medicine made in the army. It has a remarkable effect of reducing swelling and blood stasis. Use it to wipe your knees. Yes, don’t let the roots of your disease hurt your legs.”

Rong Youtang was greatly surprised, hurriedly held the porcelain bottle in both hands, and said gratefully: "This, why is this so embarrassing?"

"You're welcome. I have a lot of these things. I know you've knelt down. Use them." Guo Da smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Thank you son, you are really generous." Rong Youtang thanked happily, and solemnly put the porcelain bottle into the sleeve.

"Remember, I will go all out to help you, and you must keep the secret about asking for help!" Guo Da earnestly urged.

Rong Youtang was very knowledgeable, and immediately promised: "Even if it is leaked, I can handle it myself!"

Guo Da nodded in satisfaction.

They walked side by side for a while, passing by the ear room, Guo Da acted according to the plan, opened the door and urged: "You take the medicine, I'll see my cousin, no one is allowed to watch me being scolded!"

Rong Youtang smiled: "Yes." He obediently stepped into the ear room, ready to apply the medicine.

Guo Da folded his hands behind his back and stopped silently to observe:

Rong Youtang walked into the ear room, sat down and took off his boots, rolled up his trousers, his knees were bruised and swollen, he took out the small porcelain bottle given by Guo Da, unscrewed the cap, and in the bottle was light brown almost transparent ointment; Youtang moved nimbly, dug a piece and rubbed it on his right knee, then switched to his left knee and applied Huakai ointment.

Guo Da bowed his head, sighed silently, pursed his lips, and hurried away to see King Qing, knocked on the door and called, "Your Highness?"

"Come in." Zhao Zeyong's voice could not hear any emotion.

Guo Da stood at the door for a few breaths, and after he calmed down completely, he stepped in briskly and asked as he walked, "Cousin, are you feeling better? What did the imperial doctor say?"

"It's nothing more than an order to rest."

Guo Da smiled, and as soon as he stood still, he fixed his eyes and saw the memorial being pressed under the palm of the other party.

"Ziyan, have you read this thing?" Zhao Zeyong asked solemnly, picked up the memorial and shook it.

"What is that?" Guo Da poked his head in doubt, trying to play dumb.

Zhao Zeyong handed it over: "The memorial he wrote, please transfer it to Hejian."

"Ah?" Guo Da took it, scanned it quickly, and said wryly: "I didn't expect Brother Rong to be so firm, and he was serious! Last time when we were chatting, he revealed a few words to me, but today he even gave a memorial. It's all written."

"What do you think of this move?" Zhao Zeyong asked straight to the point.

"Me?" Guo Da sniffed, moved a round stool with one hand and sat in front of the couch, looked at the memorial over and over again, for a long time, raised his head and said seriously: "Cousin, I think Brother Rong is right."

Zhao Zeyong's face was as sinking as water, he forbearance did not say anything, his tiger eyes were piercing, and he asked, "Why?"

"The person who knows the current affairs is Junjie."

Guo Da returned the memorial, sat upright with his knees clasped, and said solemnly: "Let me say it boldly, my cousin is always smart, which one of your victories in the Northwest was not won by judging the situation? If you blindly rush forward and rely on bravery alone, you will lose sooner or later." You and Brother Rong are good, being caught by someone with a heart as a handle, and talking about it in private, we people who know the truth are really angry when we hear it."

"Who? Who is spreading rumors?" Zhao Zeyong raised his eyebrows, furious.

"There are too many. Almost everyone in the capital knows that Youyou's mouth can't be blocked, and it's better not to be blocked." Guo Da was indignant and powerless, and thought to himself: Longyang's addiction is not a serious crime, but in the eyes of the world It can only be used as leisure for fun. If the love is so sincere that it delays getting married, it will inevitably be criticized by the outside world... He came back to his senses and quickly added: "Don't blame me for not reporting it in time. There have been so many accidents these days that I have no time to distract myself. Besides, So what if we know about it? You can’t arrest them one by one and interrogate them.”

Zhao Zeyong's face was as heavy as water, and his expression was cold and hard.

"Cousin, Your Majesty is actually kind enough to not deal with Brother Rong for the time being, but think about it, how can there be any parents in the world who let their sons--unmarried?" Yang" four characters.

"Where is Hejian? How old is he? Although it is normal for Beijing officials to be transferred outside, but to be honest, based on his ability and qualifications, he would not be transferred to Hejian." Zhao Zeyong analyzed the facts.

"Brother Rong has lofty ambitions, is quite bloody, practical and diligent, and should not be underestimated because of his young age." Guo Da commented pertinently.

"It's not contempt, it's just worrying." Zhao Zeyong said without hesitation.

"But if he stays in the capital, it will definitely affect our overall situation." Guo Da said frankly.

"Grandma and the others asked you?" Zhao Zeyong frowned.

Guo Da nodded: "Ask, why don't you ask? Every time I go home, I will ask for a long time. Especially the old ancestor, she is very worried. I am afraid that you will anger His Majesty and be sent to the Northwest. The old man is old, The most unbearable is the separation of flesh and blood."

Zhao Zeyong instructed in a low voice: "Tell her not to worry, I know what's in my heart, and I'll go to pay my respects after the injury is healed."

"Yes."

Zhao Zeyong still pressed the memorial under his palm, not letting go, thinking carefully.

after a while

Estimating the time, Rong Youtang returned and knocked on the door: "Your Highness?"

"Brother Rong is here!" Guo Da was relieved, he was worried, and he was almost unable to hold on to the question.

"Come in." Zhao Zeyong eased his expression.

Rong Youtang walked around the screen, and also saw the memorial that was pressed under the palm of the other party at a glance.

"Where did you go?" Zhao Zeyong asked.

"Go out for a walk, it's snowing a lot outside." Rong Youtang forced a smile.

Guo Da breathed a sigh of relief, took the opportunity to say: "You talk, I have something to do, excuse me."

"Go." Zhao Zeyong pondered for a while, and ordered: "It's snowing heavily today, if the snow on the school ground is two feet deep—"

Soldiers rest?Rong Youtang, who was preoccupied, was distracted from guessing.

"...Normal practice during the day, change the extra training at night to the martial arts hall, don't relax." Zhao Zeyong ordered simply and neatly.

Rong Youtang laughed dumbfounded.

"Yes!" Guo Da straightened his back, swaggered, and hurried away.

There were only two people left in the bedroom, they were in a daze for a moment, relatively speechless.

Recently, Rong Youtang has been worrying a lot. Rong Youtang's tea and rice are not delicious, and he can't sleep at night. Today he got up early again. At this time, he was suffocated by the warmth of the kang bed, and he became more and more tired, his eyes were sleepy, and his eyelids were fighting.

However, the knee that had been smeared with medicine began to ache inexplicably.

Rong Youtang was puzzled, moved his legs, and felt the pain in both knees was very clear: first it was numb like a mosquito bite, then it was like a needle prick, then it was like boiling water, and finally it was like a knife cut, it was extremely painful!

what happened?

Rong Youtang panicked, and countless doubts surged up in an instant, recalling the family pressure revealed by Guo Da, the respected old Mrs. Dingbeihou and the powerful current Dingbeihou—could it be Mr. Guo's medicine...?

No!Impossible, Mr. Guo is not that kind of person.

Rong Youtang's face was pale, he silently denied his doubts, and endured hardship.

"Come up when it's cold, what are you doing sticking around?" Zhao Zeyong noticed it in time and mistakenly thought that the other party was frozen.

Rong Youtang nodded, he couldn't stand in pain, his legs were trembling, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, his eyes turned black, he tried his best to walk slowly to the front of the couch, and sat down on the edge of the couch holding his breath.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Zeyong put down the memorial in surprise, hugged him to the bed, touched the cold sweat all over his face with his hand, and asked urgently, "What's wrong?"

In the severe pain, Rong Youtang's eyes stared straight, the stars shot out, his face was pale, he instinctively curled up and hugged his knees, his whole body curled up in a ball, uncertain, and murmured in a daze: "I, I also feel strange."

"What? What's so strange?" Zhao Zeyong didn't hear clearly, and was rarely at a loss. He hugged the other party tightly, turned his head and shouted sharply: "Come here! Tell the doctor!"
