Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

"Oh?" Zhao Zeyong curled his mouth when he heard the words, just finished approving a stack of official documents, happily put down his pen, and pushed away the kang table that was used as a temporary desk.

"I'll come, I'll come!" Guo Da rushed forward immediately, and hospitablely lifted the kang table to the low cabinet by the wall and placed it on the low cabinet by the wall. Please have some tea."

"Hmm." Zhao Zeyong took the hot tea, took two sips with downcast eyes, he was very aware of the other party's panic, but he had made up his mind to reprimand him once, so he pretended not to know.

Guo Da held his breath and stood in front of the couch, looking anxiously. Unfortunately, he couldn't wait for his cousin's usual concern, so he couldn't help but feel sad and lonely, but he knew he was wrong, so he immediately cheered up, looked around, and ran to push the window open. He opened a gap and shouted, "Who closed the window for you? The kang bed is burning in winter, and it is hot and stuffy. Open the window to let in some air."

"It's probably an imperial doctor." Zhao Zeyong replied.

Cousin ignored me!

"Hey, I knew it!" Guo Da's eyes lit up, he ran back to the bed excitedly, and said incessantly: "Everyone around you knows your habit. You never close the windows, and those white-bearded princes Doctors are afraid of the cold, tsk, I can’t wait to go out under the quilt! I met them in the morning, and the imperial doctor said that your injury is recovering well, and you will be fully recovered in ten and a half months. At that time, we will return to the city at night like before. Xiaojiu inquires about your situation almost every day. I am sorry to see you. I am worried that he will be ruined. Also, the palace sent people to send nourishing herbs and prey. There is deer roe that you like to eat, but it is not suitable for eating due to injuries , kept in captivity in the mansion." Guo Da paused to take a breath when he said this, and was about to take a breath before speaking.

Zhao Zeyong was well aware of his cousin's temperament, so he cut off the question in time: "Who gave it to me? This king is only injured on the flesh, so there is no need to take ginseng supplements every day."

"Oh!" Guo Da subconsciously moved closer to the bed, with a carved horizontal frame on his head, and happily replied: "The nourishing medicinal materials rewarded by your majesty, the empress and noble concubine distributed live prey for the New Year Festival to each prince's mansion, and the concubine Chen gave some. Blood-enriching cakes and medicinal food. The pastry and medicinal food are made under the guidance of the imperial doctor, and you can eat them."

"Empress and imperial concubine?" Zhao Zeyong raised his eyebrows.

"That's right, Your Majesty asked them to manage the harem together." At this point, Guo Da couldn't help gloating, and holding on to the horizontal frame of the kang bed, he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is kind, and I told you to rest in peace and recuperate without attending the Longevity Festival. Just kowtow here to celebrate your birthday. On the [-]th day, when I went to congratulate His Majesty on his long live—ha, hahaha, the queen and the noble concubine didn’t seem to have an agreement, each of them had an idea, and they disagreed with each other. Fortunately, the Ministry of Rituals was very sophisticated, otherwise the birthday banquet would have happened What the hell, isn't His Majesty furious!"

"Father's birthday banquet can only follow the ancestral regulations, and it is difficult to determine the proportion of additions and subtractions." Zhao Zeyong said lightly.

"That's right! It's a pity that you weren't there at the time, cousin. It's a pity that we couldn't watch the excitement together." The tall Guo Da raised his hand forgetfully, and slapped the top of the bed with a "bang", waking himself up, " Uh...sorry." Guo Da quickly stood up straight, carefully observing King Qing's expression.

Zhao Zeyong sat firmly like a pine, drank tea slowly, without moving his eyebrows, and asked dignifiedly: "Ziyan, aren't you supervising the training of recruits in the school ground?"

Are you driving me away?

"I just don't know how long Brother Rong can stay, so I hurried to hand over the things to him." Guo Da held his head high and explained righteously.

"What?" Zhao Zeyong turned to the round table not far away, he had already seen it.

"Drink and play." Guo Da replied, and when he was about to turn around to order something, Rong Youtang, who was wearing a cold and snowy aura, happened to walk to the door, and asked loudly: "Your Highness, Rong Youtang is asking to see you."

Zhao Zeyong smiled: "Come in."

Guo Da suddenly closed his eyes and grinned, feeling very guilty and trying to calm down.

"Your Highness—huh? Mr. Guo is here too." Rong Youtang smiled, as usual, with his cloak hanging outside, his nose flushed from the cold.

"Why did you come here today, kid? I thought you wouldn't come to resign." Guo Daxuan asked with a smile.

"How could it be possible not to say goodbye?" Rong Youtang asked back with a smile, and explained: "Because of the tight time to leave for the post, he was in a hurry, and he finally made the preparations last night, so he specially spared the whole day today to say goodbye here." He is still out In the middle of the day, he patted the snow on his boots at the corner of his robe, rubbed his palms vigorously, stomped his feet on the spot, washed his hands with the hot water he had prepared before stepping around the screen and into the room, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe and tied with an azure girdle The outer cover of Fox Qiu is more handsome than Jia, heroic and handsome.

Zhao Zeyong's heart became soft and steady in an instant, and he urged: "It's so cold, drink a cup of tea to warm up."

"Hiss...it's snowing heavily outside, with more than a foot of snow, almost don't break my horse's hooves." Rong Youtang's face turned pale, and told him tremblingly. When he turned around, he found that Guo Da had poured tea and was holding it and said: "Drink Bar."

"How did this happen? It really sucks!" Rong Youtang was taken aback, and hurriedly declined, grabbing himself to pour a glass.

However, Guo Da insisted on forcing his own pour into Rong Youtang's hand, and instead snatched the other's pour. He patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "I'll make you an apology after drinking this drink."

The Hou family has great rules, filial piety can crush people to death, it has already happened, what's the use of blaming you?

Besides, I'm going to Xizhou soon!

"Because of you, I tried the medicine on myself first. I went home and thought about it carefully, and I didn't feel angry." Rong Youtang was bold and open-minded. Seeing that he couldn't refuse, he simply accepted it. The two clinked glasses: "Cheers."

"Good brother! Done!"

They both raised their necks and drank it at the same time. Fortunately, it was not the freshly brewed tea, and no one was burned.

Zhao Zeyong watched quietly, with mixed feelings in his heart. Of course he hoped that his relatives could accept his beloved, but he knew that it was impossible in a short time. Except for his younger brother and cousin, everyone else had prejudice against Rong Youtang... He was concentrating While thinking about countermeasures, Rong Youtang, who shook hands with Guo Da and made peace, walked to the bed, bent down and asked with concern: "Is Your Highness feeling better?"

"Small wounds will heal in a few days." Zhao Zeyong came back to his senses, let the other party lift the quilt to check his wounds, and asked, "Is everything cleaned up?"

"Probably, we are riding on horseback. The luggage must be light. The rest can wait for the snow to melt." Rong Youtang spoke briskly. He sat on the edge of the couch, carefully inspected King Qing's bandaged left leg, and then covered him with a quilt. .

"How many people are you going to bring?" Zhao Zeyong asked again.

Rong Youtang immediately frowned in distress, smiled, and complained happily: "My father is worried, he packed half of the room for me, arranged for nine people to go with me, and also wanted to hire some bodyguards to escort me, but it's going to be a big battle."

Guo Da was very upset when he heard it, and said quickly, "Your Highness can rest assured! Your Highness has already made arrangements, and there is no need to hire escorts at all."

"How do you say that?" Rong Youtang looked at King Qing in surprise.

Zhao Zeyong had a stern face, only one person in his heart, and said gently: "Aren't you familiar with Wei Jie? The king has ordered him to pick a team to be responsible for protection. Take it with you, and you don't have to be afraid wherever you go." .”

"Brother Wei? But his family is in the capital! I don't know how many years I will stay in Hejian this time. Brother Wei just got married and is your right-hand man. He was sent from the capital to Hejian for no reason—His Royal Highness, please Think twice." Rong Youtang solemnly begged, he had experienced the hardships of common people's hard work, and he was afraid of delaying the bright future of others.

Guo Da sternly explained: "Don't think about it, you will be transferred back to the capital sooner or later! His Highness has many soldiers, and those who are willing to go to Hejian can get double monthly salary. See your comments for the New Year's reward. They are all voluntary. I wish I could leave Beijing for fun."

"It's just a business trip, not a long-term stay, so don't worry about it." Zhao Zeyong reassured.

"This..." Rong Youtang murmured, still feeling that it was not right. After all, people in the world are generally trying their best to squeeze into the capital and get closer to the powerful, and Xizhou is the poorest in Hejian, including Shun County, which was plagued by bandits back then. !

"Could it be that Master Xiao Rong is not sure to lead his subordinates to a high place?" Zhao Zeyong asked, using an aggressive method.

Fighting side by side for many years, the tacit understanding is very good, Guo Da said without hesitation: "Your Highness entrusted a small team of people to you, it is very simple, what are you afraid of? Do you find it difficult?"

"No!" Rong Youtang blurted out, young and vigorous, the most unbearable, and felt a little crazy after speaking, and added embarrassingly: "Actually, I am afraid of delaying people's future. They are brave and good at fighting, and they have the chance to be promoted if they follow His Highness. What is it to follow me? At most, send them to Xizhou, and I will arrange for them to return to Beijing after a few days of hospitality."

"Xizhou is close to Shangnan and Lushui, counties that are important for water transportation. Don't you plan to send a small group of Guanzhong troops to stay in Hejian? My king sent them an errand to assist you in building the barracks." Zhao Zeyong said in a leisurely manner. .

Rong Youtang's eyes were bright, excited and apprehensive, smug, but he always didn't like to talk full of words, leaving room for himself to retreat at any time, and hurriedly emphasized: "I'm just imagining, just imagining! How dare you boast that you have nothing to say? Promising someone with a future? There is no need to make a joke."

"Don't worry, we won't reveal it until it's done, and no one will see your jokes." Guo Dale relieved.

"Anyway, you are young, try boldly, if you fail once, try again." Zhao Zeyong told him bluntly.

"That's right, I'm young and thick-skinned, I can afford it and I can afford to lose, I don't turn back until I hit the south wall—no! Even if I hit the south wall, I don't look back, I have to hit the wall through a hole!" Rong Youtang smiled happily , self-deprecating frankly.

"Hahaha, not only are you thick-skinned, but you also have to be strong, otherwise you might be knocked out." Guo Da joked happily.

Zhao Zeyong couldn't take his eyes off, the person in front of him was his sweetheart, he couldn't be more happy, let the other party say or do anything, it was very interesting.

Unfortunately, parting is imminent.

They all want to be strong, each hiding their parting sorrows in front of others, talking and laughing happily.

"Brother Rong, look." Guo Da patted the things on the round table.

"What is this?" Rong Youtang approached curiously.

Guo Da pulled two bulging packages and said with a friendly smile: "My brother and the newly appointed governor of Hejian, Qi Shaozhu, are in the same year. They and your master are close friends. Here, these packages are all kinds of tea. Here is a fragment of an ancient music score, can you bring it to Master Qi? That one is the most elegant."

In fact, it is equivalent to recommending Rong Youtang.

Although you don't reach out to hit people with smiling faces, everyone has self-esteem.

Having just suffered from the Guo family's loss, Rong Youtang was unwilling to stretch out his hand, fearing that he would be beaten again if he was careless, so he replied without changing his face: "Of course, Your Highness will send someone to go with you? Ask them to help me later, my salute is a bit awkward." many."

Guo Da paused, scratched his head, figured it out immediately, and said bluntly: "Anyway, it doesn't matter whoever you are with, as long as you don't leave things behind!" After speaking, he clapped his hands wisely: "Hey, I still have to Go to the school grounds to supervise the recruits, you guys chat, and have lunch together at noon."

"Go."

For the whole morning, Zhao Zeyong took everything seriously, but he didn't intervene, allowing his cousin to compensate Rong Youtang in various ways. It wasn't until lunchtime that they shared the same bed that he said: " If you don't want to forgive, don't forgive."

"What?" Rong Youtang turned his head, he was seriously looking through the files of the fellow soldiers given by King Qing.It can be said that the future of going to Xizhou is bleak. On the surface, he is gearing up, but inside he is unavoidably frightened. It is always good to bring more helpers.

"Xiaoer is wrong." Zhao Zeyong sighed.

Rong Youtang put the roster into the dark compartment next to the bed, lay down on the bed with a grunt, and said bluntly: "Mr. Difficult. No matter what, I've forgiven him."

"Don't—" Zhao Zeyong frowned with a headache, knowing that the other party was referring to his grandmother and uncle, he solemnly said: "Don't worry, the king has clearly warned them not to set an example!"

King Qing has a strong physique, and the kang bed is always taken care of by someone, so the bed is warm and comfortable.Rong Youtang was lying on his side, slowly playing with the opponent's palm, and muttered worriedly: "Hmph, don't Mrs. Guo give you Princess Zhang Luo as soon as I leave?"

"You don't need to worry about her old man, it's just you." Zhao Zeyong said solemnly, he hugged her tightly into his arms, and whispered while kissing her: "Master Xiao Rong calm down."
