Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

"Take back the transfer order?" King Qing raised his eyebrows.

"That's right! While Xiao Zhuo is still in the capital, there is still room for redemption. Third brother, please do me a favor and take back the transfer order!" Zhao Zewu was very anxious, fearing that if he was slow to stop him, Zhuo Kai would leave the capital with his sleeves.

King Qing shook his head slowly, and said solemnly: "A military order is like a mountain, it's not a joke, and the order is like a flood. If the commander changes the order at will, how can he convince the people? Where is the prestige?"

"Third brother, third brother, please help me." Zhao Zewu begged with a mournful face, and said anxiously: "That ghost place in Hejian is poor and messy, and there is no good for it. Xiaozhuo was born and raised in the capital, and his family lives here. , why transferred to another place!"

"When I appoint and mobilize my subordinates, I will naturally assign specific errands. Do you think he is sent to visit the mountains and rivers?" King Qing frowned, with a displeased face on the floor, and said righteously: "Besides, is it the king of the world?" Tu, Hejian is also my Dacheng land, where hundreds of thousands of people live, what is a 'ghost place'?"

Zhao Zewu was at a loss for words, and the sense of panic subsided a little, and he admitted his mistake: "I don't dislike Hejian. But, you can't transfer Xiao Zhuo to accompany you to endure hardships just because Brother Rong is the magistrate in Xizhou."

"You're talking nonsense!"

King Qing's gaze was like a torch, and he reprimanded: "Xizhou is the place chosen by Master Xiao Rong on his own initiative. He faces difficulties without fear of hard work, and is determined to serve the court and share the worries of his father. His loyal and diligent attitude is worthy of praise. Speaking of Zhuo Kai, he Originally, he could stay safely in the capital and serve Gaotang, but because of your repeated pestering, he was repeatedly reprimanded and punished by his father, and he was always beaten back to his original place just after he was promoted. Tell me, who is to blame for those things?"

"I—" Zhao Zewu was speechless, grabbing the edge of the table vigorously, his fingernails were bloodless, his thoughts were like a mess, and he unconsciously argued: "Brother Rong is Brother Rong, Xiao Zhuo is Xiao Zhuo, they are two Personally, there's no need for Xiao Zhuo to follow Brother Rong to ask for trouble, it's not worth it at all."

"Xiao Wu, if you have struggled to get promoted many times but were blamed and dismissed because of other people's entanglement, I'm afraid you can understand Zhuo Kai's approach." King Qing said with a deadpan expression, "There are ups and downs in the future, but you can still keep working hard." Upward energy, it is not easy, Zhuo Kai is considered strong, otherwise you will be overwhelmed by you early in the morning."

Zhao Zewu's pale face was anxious, half of his body lay on the desk, and he explained in vain: "I know, I used to be a bastard, and I didn't intend to hurt him, but I accidentally caused him some trouble and made him sad... But I will not be an example! I will definitely Don't bother him!"

The matter has come to this point, it is too late to regret.

King Qing squeezed the center of his brows with a headache, and said word by word: "He insisted on asking for a transfer. After thinking about it, I think he is not angry or just trying to escape, so I agree. Seventh, unless there is a major change, the transfer order cannot be withdrawn. This is the principle of governing the army."

Zhao Zewu was extremely anxious, his eyes were gloomy, he became more and more humble, and pleaded nervously: "I understand your difficulty in running the army, alas... how about withdrawing the transfer order on the grounds that Xiaozhuo's injury has not recovered?"

"What a bad idea." King Qing commented unceremoniously.

"Can't you?" Zhao Zewu held his breath, his heart beating wildly in panic, and he lost his mind.

"Of course not!" King Qing categorically rejected, shook his head, and asked angrily: "He has recovered from his injuries and is in good health. If you fabricate a warrior's weakness for no reason, that would be worse than beating him with a board. Do you have any brains?" ?”

Why am I out of my mind?

Zhao Zewu was quite dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it at all. He continued to grind hard, almost crying, and said sadly with a pale face: "Then, can you help me find a safe way? Third brother, no one else will help me, including My brother, it's so disgusting, I wish Xiao Zhuo would leave Beijing immediately! But he has no fault, why did he leave? If he wants to leave, I will go, I am a cheeky toad."

"Are you going? Where are you going?" King Qing collected himself, took a sip of tea, and calmly reminded: "The imperial decree of marriage has already been issued, and the emperor has pointed out to you the eldest daughter Zhong of Pingjiahou's mansion. The auspicious day of marriage is set on May, have you forgotten?"

"What Miss Zhong? I never took it to heart!"

"I don't like her, and I will never marry her!"

"Whoever likes to marry, I don't care at that time!" Zhao Zewu exploded immediately, angrily, disgusted and disgusted: "I have repeatedly asked my father to take back my order, but he just refused and forced me to marry a wife. Interesting? In short, if I don't marry, if he likes it, he can be included in the harem—"

"shut up!"

"You are presumptuous!"

King Qing interrupted sharply, and scolded: "The imperial decree is clearly written, Miss Zhong has already betrothed to you, so stop talking nonsense, pay attention to outsiders' hearing, and see if you are disrespectful."

Zhao Zewu was tongue-tied, and after a long while, he slumped into the armchair, slumped, motionless, with the corners of his eyes flushed, and suddenly raised his hand to cover his eyes, choked with pain, and said, "What should I do? I don't want him to leave... Third brother, help me again." Go back, let Xiaozhuo stay in the capital, I swear I won’t make any fuss again, and I’ll be satisfied if I can see him from a distance once in a while.”

"If I help you, it's equivalent to harming Zhuo Kai." King Qing asked with a serious expression, "Are you sure you want to drive him into a corner?"

"I do not have!"

"In fact, it is because of you that he became the mess he is in today. If you have no intersection, Zhuo Kai should still be an inner court guard. Based on his father's relationship, he may be promoted to a team in three to five years. Little commander, there is no need to join the northern camp at all." King Qing reminded him bluntly.

"But, but I didn't mean to hurt him, I always hope he lives well!" Zhao Zewu sat up straight, raised his face and yelled.

"You can't force what you want, the more rude and entangled you are, the more unpopular you are." King Qing sighed, and said lightly: "If you can lift your hand from now on, with Zhuo Kai's hard work, he will It won’t be worse in the future.”

If I disappear, he will be fine?

Zhao Zewu refused to think deeply, wishful thinking for too long, and he was afraid to face the facts.He was short of breath, his throat was blocked, his nose was sore and his eyes were hot, and he couldn't speak a word, and he just sat in the chair blankly, his eyes glazed over.

"You should think about it carefully." King Qing reluctantly instructed, took up the pen and dipped the ink again, and solemnly emphasized before writing: "The transfer order has been issued, and it is impossible to take it back. Even if the emperor makes an order, there must be a valid reason. I will not allow anyone to break it." rule!"

Xiao Zhuo hates me...

Zhao Zewu was sore and sad in his heart, he seemed to be more than half dead, hugging his knees and curled up, retracting into the armchair, dejected.

King Qing was not good at words by nature, so he tried his best to persuade him a few words, and then he was too busy until it was dark, he ordered someone to prepare a car, and personally sent the troublesome brother back to the city, and sent him to the sixth prince's mansion, and told Zhao Zewen to take good care of him.

in a few days

Before leaving, Zhuo Kai bid farewell to all relatives and friends. When bidding farewell to King Qing, he knelt down on one knee and said:

"Thank you, Your Highness! I will do my best to assist Lord Rong when I come to Xizhou. I will go through fire and water without hesitation. I will never let down your trust."

"Get up. You can do your best when you are on duty, there is no need to work hard." King Qing asked gently, "Have you packed your luggage?"

"Yes!"

"When are you leaving?"

Zhuo Kaigong sincerely replied: "After I bid farewell to the brothers in Beiying, I am going to take a boat to the south of Hejian Province in the middle of the day."

King Qing was slightly taken aback, and then said solemnly: "You are alone, take care on the road."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhuo Kai kowtowed sincerely.After recovering from a serious injury, he lost a lot of weight, but he looked good, full of energy, and heroic.

"Is everyone in the family calmed down?" King Qing asked again, he probably knew the situation of the Zhuo family.

Zhuo Kai's heart warmed, and he replied respectfully: "My parents agree with Beiqian's decision very much, and they both asked Beiqian to repay you with all their strength."

King Qing smiled, and urged: "Since you are in a hurry to leave, I won't stay any longer. It's up to you to say goodbye to your comrades."

"Yes!" Zhuo Kai kowtowed again, clasped his fists and said, "I will resign from my humble position, please take care of yourself, Your Highness."

"Go."

Zhuo Kai strode out of the meeting hall with his head held high, and was about to leave the capital for a new life. He was full of longing, happy, and radiantly bid farewell to his friends, and immediately rushed to the ferry, ready to take a boat south.

Young and strong, with high-strength martial arts skills, he was excited to show his fists in another place, so he rejected some attendants and large bags prepared by his parents.

"My lord, the journey is far away, you must be careful." The butler of the Zhuo family was worried.

"Master and Madam originally ordered the younger ones to escort you to the post." The young servant who helped carry the two burdens never forgot.

"The ferries along the canal are guarded by officers and soldiers. There are dozens of passengers on the same boat. I am a big man. What can happen? I don't need an escort." Zhuo Kai laughed and took the lead, stepped on the boarding bridge, and walked to the front door. Booked cabin.

"Buddha and Bodhisattva bless you, you will be safe!" The old man who has been in charge of the Zhuo Mansion for half his life is pious and determined. He pushed open the door of the cabin he had booked himself two quarters of an hour ago, looked up, his smile disappeared instantly, and his face pulled The old man froze all over his body.

"What's the matter?" Zhuo Kai, who was in high spirits, didn't think too much about it. He passed the old butler and looked with his head——

They met Zhao Zewu's eyes!

Zhuo Kai's complexion changed suddenly, the sense of joy and joy disappeared, and he blurted out, "Why are you here?"

The four guards of the Seventh Prince's Mansion were not surprised, and wisely retreated to the corner of the cabin, looked down at their toes, and pretended to be a screen.

"I'll see you off." Zhao Zewu pretended to be calm and said, in front of all eyes, he was saving face, so he didn't make excuses to please.

Zhuo Kai had no expression on his face, didn't look at the other party, exited the cabin vigilantly, and reminded forcefully: "The ship will leave in a quarter of an hour."

"I know." Zhao Zewu wiped his face vigorously, but couldn't wipe away the deep-rooted depression. He forced a smile, took the dark green silk bundle from the entourage, and said, "You are determined and insist on transferring. I will definitely be angry if I stop you... Forget it, then you can go away, stay far away from Beijing, and no one will bully you again."

Zhuo Kai pursed his lips tightly, suppressing his irritability and disgust, without saying a word, he thought to himself: both are princes, why is there such a big difference?Even Zhao Zewu can't keep up with His Royal Highness Prince Qing!

"You're leaving. I'll give you a gift and you'll definitely throw it away. Here, look, this thing belongs to you, and today it's back to its original owner." Zhao Zewu said as he unwrapped the bag and showed it like a treasure.

something that belongs to me?

Zhuo Kai's thoughts moved, he was inevitably curious, and turned his head involuntarily to look:

Inside the package was a set of neatly folded imperial guard uniforms, and a waist badge with the owner's name and position engraved on it.

This really belongs to Zhuo Kai.

"Take it, don't you like it? Master Wu took a lot of effort to get it out of the palace!" Zhao Zewu, who thought he had worked so hard, handed the bag forward anxiously.

Zhuo Kai stared at the things that once belonged to him, and instantly recalled the time when he was the imperial guard.

Silent for a long time

"I have been dismissed for a long time. You got it early in the morning, but you just returned it to the original owner today?" Zhuo Kai asked indifferently.

Zhao Zewu was suddenly embarrassed, cleared his throat, and explained vaguely: "Cough, it has been left in the corner, Master Wu forgot."

"Your Highness, are you sure you want to return it to me?" Zhuo Kai asked again.

"Yes! Here you are!" Zhao Zewu nodded heavily, nodding like a pounding garlic.

"My lord—" The old housekeeper wanted to speak, but Zhuo Kai raised his hand to dissuade him, and calmly accepted the burden.

Zhao Zewu was extremely reluctant, and let go slowly, eagerly, hoping that this move would please the other party.

Zhuo Kai picked up the sandalwood waist card with his name engraved on it, stroked it slowly, his heart was extremely heavy, his jaw was tense, his eyes were sharp, and his hands gradually exerted force——
