Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

In terms of physique and explosive power, how can a scholar beat a general?

——Before this king had the heart to give in, so I didn't stop you from leaving!

Zhao Zeyong's eyes were quick and his hands were quick. With just one lunge, he hugged the man back with one hand. He was angry and funny, and asked in a deep voice: "I haven't said clearly yet, why are you running?"

Rong Youtang was a little annoyed that he couldn't run away smoothly, his whole back was pressed against King Qing's chest, with a strong arm lying across his chest, he tried his best to break free: "Let go, let go!"

"Aren't you going to run away?" Zhao Zeyong asked majestically, subduing him with ease, even freeing up his hands to straighten his messy hair and straighten it.

"..." Rong Youtang struggled for a while, but to no avail. After weighing the matter, he said wisely: "Okay, then let's talk." Then he waited for King Qing to let go——

But the people behind him didn't want to let go at all.

"Your Highness?" Rong Youtang reminded sullenly, calming down a little.

"Think about it first." Zhao Zeyong instructed, paused, and said in a low voice: "This king is a little anxious."

you know too? !

Rong Youtang's mood calmed down a little, and he didn't hold on anymore, and suggested politely: "How about, let's think about it together?"

"it is good."

Quietly hug each other and meditate on each other.

Zhao Zeyong slowly helped the other party smooth his hair, each strand was clean and smooth, neatly tied behind his head, revealing his fair and slender neck. When Rong Youtang lowered his head to think, he bent his head into a pleasing arc.Zhao Zeyong stretched out his thumb to caress the back of his neck, his fingertips were rough and covered with calluses, which made the person in his arms tremble slightly, shrank his neck, and instinctively dodged forward.

"Itchy." Rong Youtang muttered.

Zhao Zeyong nodded, rubbed more vigorously considerately, then lowered his head, and kissed lightly——

"!" The skin on the back of the neck was extremely sensitive, Rong Youtang shuddered violently, and struggled again, discussing in a friendly voice: "Your Highness, can you relax? I won't run away."

Zhao Zeyong snorted angrily, pretending to be angry and said: "If you disagree with me, run away, what kind of words are you talking about?"

"I... was just joking, I didn't really want to come here." Rong Youtang explained with a guilty conscience, seriously lacking confidence.They were too close to each other, and he turned his head several times, but he couldn't see each other's face, and he was inexplicably nervous.

"is it?"

"Your Highness—ah!" The back of Rong Youtang's neck was suddenly bitten, it was tingling and numb, he blurted out a scream, and hurriedly held back, fearful, for fear of attracting the attention of the guards outside: in case they thought there was an assassin attacking, Breaking down the door with a knife...but soon he couldn't think about it any more.

Slightly punitive, Zhao Zeyong kissed all the way from the back of the neck to the earlobe, held it in his mouth, and took a bite neither lightly nor hard.

"Ah~" Rong Youtang's breathing and heartbeat were all messed up, he couldn't bear it the most, he was trembling all over, he desperately turned his head to dodge, and blurted out begging for mercy: "Your Highness, I was wrong!"

"I, uh..."

Zhao Zeyong turned a deaf ear to him, turned the person over with force, hugged him face to face, kissed heavily, broke in mercilessly, intertwined lips and tongue, crushed and bit, until the other party glared angrily, then slowly backed out, gently rubbing each other's lips , throbbing, exchanging breaths, unusually intimate.

Rong Youtang's eyes were wide open, but his heart was soft, he pushed hard, and said with a straight face: "Speak up if you have something to say, don't do it, you are the famous Prince Qing, don't bully the weak and bully the scholar."

"This is not considered bullying." Zhao Zeyong also had a grimace, but his eyes were full of smiles, and he said with feigned anger: "At most, it is a small punishment and a big warning. If there is another time... think carefully!"

"Humph."

Zhao Zeyong raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you think about it?"

"I can't breathe anymore." Rong Youtang talked about him from left to right, trying to pull his arm in vain.

"Is that so?" Zhao Zeyong nodded, finally let go, pushed him down, looked at each other, and asked, "What do you think about Rong's cloth house?"

Rong Youtang didn't answer for now, and looked at the other person's expression carefully, avoiding the important and letting the light go, and reminded solemnly: "We thought about it together, why don't you talk about it first?"

"Close!" Zhao Zeyong expressed his attitude concisely.

don't close!Rong Youtang said forcefully in his heart.But he had regained his composure, thought for a moment, got up, changed his strategy, and respectfully asked: "Your Highness, please sit down first, come, drink tea."

Zhao Zeyong sat down as he said, took the teacup, tried his best to be calm and listened attentively.

"Listen to me," Rong Youtang said earnestly, "Rong's Cloth, in your eyes, may be just an inconspicuous little shop——"

Zhao Zeyong frowned disapprovingly, making a gesture to put down the teacup.

Rong Youtang immediately changed his words, and said categorically: "What I mean is: Compared with the mighty Prince Qing's Mansion, Rong's Cloth is indeed just an insignificant shop!"

Zhao Zeyong drank tea slowly and listened seriously.

"However, for my family, it is the foundation of our livelihood." Rong Youtang solemnly explained the matter in detail: "You can imagine the difficulties and twists and turns in starting from scratch. There is only one thing: the accident that happened last night, This is not the first time we have encountered cloth shop. There are too many cloth shops on East Street, and the competition is fierce. , it was dropped by the bastard hired before."

Zhao Zeyong raised his eyebrows, wanted to laugh, but held back with a tight face, shook his head: "Nonsense."

"I didn't think about it either. I was completely forced to be wise." Rong Youtang smiled helplessly, his spirits were high, his eyebrows and eyes were full of nostalgia for the period of struggle, and he sighed: "My father spent half his life in the palace. I have little savings, and thanks to the guidance of Uncle Yan, I was able to buy a house from his colleague who retired from old age and returned to his hometown, so I could live comfortably for the rest of my life—it’s a pity that he adopted me.”

Rong Youtang was very guilty, and sighed: "I was in very poor health at that time. I was seriously ill for several months and spent most of my father's savings. It was not because of relatives, but because of fate, he took care of me as his own son. Sickness After he got well, he ran around asking for a teacher, urging me to study and improve... But the family gradually fell into decline, and there was a servant, but because of his lack of money, he had to be dismissed."

"You must have blamed yourself very much at that time." Zhao Zeyong pointed out confidently, and gradually understood the importance the other party attached to Buzhuang.

Rong Youtang nodded, and said with emotion: "I like reading, and I am determined to read it to become famous, but there is almost no rice to cook at home, and the elders quietly worry day and night, telling me how to read books quietly? I have to solve the immediate predicament first. That's why I came here. It took a lot of effort to convince my father because he was particularly worried that it would affect his studies and his career as an official.”

"It's embarrassing, where did you get the money to start the business?" Zhao Zeyong asked gently, willing and focused on understanding the other party's past. He has served as commander-in-chief for many years, and he is used to "knowing himself and the enemy" in everything, and fully grasping it.Although people had been sent to check the details at first, the secret information was not a biography after all, and only a few words about the family history were mentioned.

Rong Youtang laughed, and said happily: "In the beginning, there wasn't even a storefront. Now the cloth shop has been enlarged and renovated several times. I didn't know anything about business at that time, and neither did my father, so I had to hang around on the street, observe for half a month, and finally call the shop by mistake. I stumbled into the cloth industry by mistake: I went out of the city and went deep into the suburbs, went to remote mountainous areas to collect leather, cleaned it at home, piled it in the cart, walked the streets and alleys, and sold it door-to-door—”

"Don't talk about it." Zhao Zeyong interrupted in a low voice, which was very unpleasant to hear. He put down the teacup, took the other's hand, and looked at it carefully in the palm of his hand. It was unbelievable and unimaginable: this person, these hands, Go to Shanxiang to receive the goods?Tanned leather?push cart?Selling in the streets?

Zhao Zeyong was sad and astringent, and said in a low voice: "Why didn't I know you earlier?"

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as there is harvest, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it. I am very grateful, at least God did not tell me to suffer in vain. From the time I sold the first batch of goods, my family no longer just went out and couldn't go in. I gritted my teeth and persisted for a year. I rented a small door on the East Street, and finally put up the signboard of 'Rong's Cloth House'." Rong Youtang was devout and grateful, recalling that all the suffering and misery have faded away, leaving only the passion and joy of his youth.He smiled and said: "We couldn't have known each other earlier, we had no money earlier. Do you know what I was doing when we first met?"

Zhao Zeyong smiled and said nothing, thinking: I will never forget it.That day you were sitting in a red sedan chair and wearing a wedding gown, but this king rode a horse and knocked open the sedan chair door.

In the dark, it has long been doomed.

"At that time, I was in a hurry to complete the important event of 'returning the flesh and blood' for my father." Shopkeeper Xiaorong stretched out a slap and five fingers, and said with a deep impression: "Almost 500 taels of silver were spent, and my father felt so distressed when he opened the cabinet to give the money." Like something."

Zhao Zeyong was surprised: "Don't you manage the money?"

Shopkeeper Xiaorong said cheerfully: "I manage the shop, and my father manages the money. He has ample money and no worries about his family, so I can study with peace of mind."

"How much did Buzhuang lose last night?" Zhao Zeyong asked suddenly.

Rong Youtang understood, and said with a smile: "It's still bearable."

He wants to be strong, and he does have the ability to support his family, so direct gifts of gold and silver will only be rejected.

Zhao Zeyong thought about it, and could only say angrily: "When 'Zheng Bao' and the people behind the scenes are found out, they must be asked to pay compensation."

"Hahaha~" Rong Youtang was overjoyed, and joked: "Okay, then I will say that Buzhuang has lost tens of thousands, and they will pay ten times or eight times, and let them go bankrupt!"

"it is good."

The two looked at each other with a smile, completely reconciled, and put the quarrel just behind them.

"I understand what you mean, but backing down doesn't make the opponent stop. If you are in trouble, you will retreat, and you will definitely lose." Rong Youtang said seriously: "If we close the cloth shop, I will expose a bigger weakness: my family."

"Lost the car to protect the handsome?"

Rong Youtang nodded: "Yes. Fortunately, my family is connected by a shop and a house. The staff are carefully selected and recruited. So far, no one with a different heart has been found. Even if there is, it will be cleared. But once the cloth shop is closed, the family will fight alone , it’s even more inappropriate. I have already ordered my servants to stand firm until the mastermind behind the scenes is captured and the crisis is completely eliminated.”

Zhao Zeyong nodded appreciatively, and said in a low voice: "This king has misunderstood. I was worried about your recklessness before, fighting for a moment."

"How is it possible? I can make up my mind on major matters in the family, and I dare not be negligent." Rong Youtang had no reservations, and explained in detail: "The shop was bought last year, and there is no need to pay rent. If we insist on opening the door, we will lose money for several months at most. .If the opponent misses a hit, as long as he doesn't give up, he will definitely attack again. The more you do, the more exposed you will be, and the snake will be lured out of the hole."

Zhao Zeyong pondered for a long time, holding each other's hand, fingers intertwined, and then asked seriously: "If the king decides to close the shop, what will you do?"

"What do you think?" Rong Youtang's eyes were firm, without blinking.

Zhao Zeyong nodded knowingly, and compromised: "It's up to you for the time being. But remember: within one month, if you can't catch 'Zheng Bao' again, or if there is another accident, you must close it!" After that, your whole family moved into Prince Qing's Mansion Avoid danger, so as not to run around day and night.

"This... alright." Rong Youtang compromised wisely, thinking: deal with the past first, then think of a solution when the time comes.

Zhao Zeyong understood Rong Xiao's cunning plan at a glance, but he didn't expose it, thinking: This king has already said it before, so it will be closed immediately!

The conversation finally reached a fairly unanimous solution.

Rong Youtang was in a good mood. For the first time, he held King Qing's well-articulated hand, looked down, touched the hard callus, and said: "I used to have this on my hand, but after I concentrated on studying, it disappeared unconsciously. Go into the mountains to collect goods a few times and there will be more."

Zhao Zeyong issued a strong order: "There will be no more in the future, and it is forbidden to enter the mountain. Otherwise, your shop will be closed."

"..." Rong Youtang hesitated to speak, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, thinking: Why do you always threaten me with Buzhuang? !

-

In the next few days, Prince Qing's Mansion, in the name of "taking care of the overall situation and devotion to their duties", rewarded a group of subordinates who had rescued the eldest princess and Fang Yan of Fangjia Village in Beiying for their contribution to the trouble. The housekeeper directly sent someone to deliver the things to Rong's house.When Rong Youtang went back, the family members were all happy and joyful, Rong Kaiji even sent the carefully prepared March ceremony to the palace.

"At the beginning, Master Huikong was asked to give the name, and the master was wise and insightful, and bestowed 'blessing'. Now, it seems that the Buddha is truly blessed!" The ever-burning lamp, the Buddha is merciful, no matter what day you choose, as long as you are devout, you can go to burn incense when you have time, pray for the Buddha to show his spirit, and catch the evil person who harmed you as soon as possible, so as to ensure the safety of your life. Remember?"

Rong Youtang could only nod: "I remember."

A few days later, when Rong Youtang passed by on his way home from Beiying, he saw a new pawn shop opened diagonally across from his cloth shop, so he couldn't help but take a look at it curiously. When he came out, he strongly invited Rong Youtang to go in for tea, his enthusiasm was so overwhelming that he was able to get away after being polite for a long time!

What's more, when I met the housekeeper on the road of Prince Qing's Mansion the next day, the other party quietly told him: Your Highness ordered, no matter what, open a shop as soon as possible to accompany Rong's cloth shop, how about 'Hengyuandian'?Is it okay for Ma Tong to be the shopkeeper? "

companion? !

Unprepared, Rong Youtang was stunned on the spot, dazed, and praised in a low voice: "Hengyuandian is pretty good, it's strange that Shopkeeper Ma invited me to drink tea so warmly."

His Royal Highness Prince Qing is really, really...

The soles of Rong Youtang's feet were fluttering, and there were mixed feelings in his heart, which finally condensed into a question:

What can I do?

Just as he was pondering and sighing, and walking slowly to the atrium garden of the palace, something hit his head suddenly——

"Who?" Rong Youtang instinctively covered his head, stopped and looked around.

"Hahaha, look at how stupid he is!" Zhao Yilin leaned out half of her body from the moon-watching pavilion built high on the rockery, holding a chestnut between her fingers, still dressed in fiery red palace attire, bright and glamorous, fierce and arrogant, like stars holding the moon, Besides the nanny and maids, Guo Huixin from Dingbeihou's Mansion was beside her, everyone echoed the eldest princess, all kinds of laughter mixed together, it could be called noisy.

Well, I didn't look at the imperial calendar when I went out today, and ran into a female evil star again.Rong Youtang yelled bad luck.

"Hey, come up quickly!" Zhao Yilin ordered, and immediately led the crowd to disappear at the railing of the Wangyue Pavilion.

"I obey." Rong Youtang sighed, his steps were heavy, he reluctantly went up the steps, after going up, he didn't enter the pavilion, but just stood in front of the steps.

Zhao Yilin sat in the middle, the stone table was full of snacks and tea fruits, she rested her chin, thought for a moment before speaking, and said leisurely: "March is here, the weather is getting warmer."

Isn't this nonsense!

Rong Youtang held his breath and concentrated, waiting for the eldest princess to reveal her true form.

really

Zhao Yilin's next sentence was: "The weather is so good, it is suitable for spring outings and flower appreciation. I heard that there is a Huaxi River in Nancheng, with nine turns and twists and turns. did you know?"

Rong Youtang asked: "Is the princess talking about Lanxi in Nancheng?"

Zhao Yilin immediately became unhappy: "Could it be possible that there is a second Huaxi? Orchids are flowers, so it's not the same as Lanxi and Huaxi?"

"What the princess said is true." Rong Youtang perfunctory casually, probably guessed the other party's intentions, and said cautiously: "I heard that Lanxi is in the suburbs of Nancheng, and the grass people have never been there."

"Really?" Zhao Yilin slowly raised her chin.

"It's absolutely true." Rong Youtang said frankly.

"A scholar who is ignorant and useless!" Zhao Yilin was annoyed, and raised her hand to throw another chestnut. Rong Youtang subconsciously turned her head to avoid it.

"Do you dare to hide?!" Zhao Yilin became even angrier, and immediately grabbed a handful of chestnuts, regardless, and threw her head and face with her hands—

"Stop." A warm and cold voice sounded from under the pavilion, Rong Youtang hurriedly looked down: "It's warm today, and it's rare for King Rui to come out for a walk, with a wide robe and wide sleeves, noble and indifferent, and the Nine Princes are with us.

"Don't hit!" Zhao Ze'an also stopped him, he ran up to the Moon-Watching Pavilion, followed by the servants, carefully supporting him.

Rong Youtang hurriedly reached out his hand to respond, and saluted according to the rules, Guo Huixin followed suit.

"Big sister, my brother set the rules: If you have something to do in the house, you should find the housekeeper, and verbal abuse and fights are strictly prohibited." Zhao Ze'an seriously reminded him that he was wearing a hat, and the skin on the left side of his neck was light red, like a birthmark, and it wasn't ugly.

"Who hit it? It's just for teasing. It's funny to see him so stupid." Zhao Yilin curled her lips, threw a hand full of chestnuts on the table, and stretched out her hand. The maid had prepared a hot handkerchief, and wiped it gently and quickly Clean, Zhao Yilin leaned her head, Jiaoqiao said to her elder brother: "Brother, you are also out for a stroll, why don't you call me?"

"Didn't you go to the greenhouse with Miss Guo to enjoy the flowers?" King Rui asked slowly.

"Looks like that, it's very boring—" Zhao Yilin grumbled, and was about to beg to go to Nancheng to enjoy the flower creek, but King Rui frowned instantly, and severely reprimanded: "Be careful! That flower house is the late Shu Third Brother and Ninth Brother are so generous that they allow outsiders to go in and see the relics of Concubine Empress, now in front of Ninth Brother, why don’t you apologize?"

Zhao Yilin also knew that she had made a slip of the tongue. She had a good impression of the late Concubine Shu, so she didn't shirk it. She got up and sat Zhao Ze'an down, piled the fruit plate in front of Yaodi, and said in a good voice: "Sister made a slip of the tongue, and there is no disrespect. , Ninth Brother, don’t blame me.”

"Forget it this time, don't make an example next time, my brother will definitely be angry when he hears it." Zhao Ze'an can be said to be "teaching" Huang Jie.

"I didn't do it on purpose." Zhao Yilin resentfully coaxed her younger brother: "Come on, can this be eaten? My sister will peel it off for you."

"Princess, the imperial doctor told His Highness the Ninth Prince to refrain from eating for a while longer." The attendant hurriedly reminded.

Zhao Ze'an glanced at the table full of snacks and nuts, turned his head to look at the scenery, and said regretfully: "Sister, eat it, I don't like salty, fragrant and crispy."

At this time, King Rui finally came up slowly, and everyone was busy saluting.Rong Youtang kept complaining, he had come to look for King Qing, but now he was stumbling, and he couldn't help showing a look of anxiety.

"Are you here to do something?" King Rui looked at Rong Youtang and asked.

Rong Youtang hurriedly nodded in agreement as if he had received an amnesty.

"Go ahead and say hello to Third Brother on behalf of King Ben." King Rui ordered with a faint smile.

"Brother, I still want to ask him about Huaxi in Nancheng—" Zhao Yilin just started, but her elder brother shut up and tore the handkerchief aggrieved.

Rong Youtang quickly resigned and left without looking back, and rushed into King Qing's study.

"Run in such a hurry, someone is chasing you?" Guo Da asked in a flat tone, he and King Qing were the only two in the study.

The eldest princess hasn't let you go yet, Mr. Guo!

"No." Rong Youtang smiled dryly, noncommittal, and first conveyed King Rui's greetings respectfully.

"Fourth brother is visiting the garden?" Zhao Zeyong nodded in relief, "It's getting warmer, you shouldn't be bored in the house all day, and taking a few more steps to get some air will be of great benefit to your health."

Guo Da casually said: "Wangyue Pavilion? Didn't you meet my sister?"

"Yes. You saw it too?" Rong Youtang replied casually.

"They still told me to go up, so I won't go! A group of women are chattering, causing headaches." Guo Da mercilessly despised, and finally asked: "You think so?"

"Uh, I didn't stay long, I left after going up for a while." Rong Youtang replied vaguely.

Guo Da was obviously in a bad mood today and was restless. He was restless, pacing back and forth, moving the chair back and forth, and muttered, "The four legs of this chair are not the same length, right? Sitting wobbly, I really want to dismantle it!"

Rong Youtang looked at the uncharacteristic Guo Da in doubt, and asked King Qing with puzzled eyes: "What's the matter, Mr. Guo?"

"The chair is fine." Zhao Zeyong said helplessly, and he comforted with gentle words: "You have tried your best to help the Shan family girl, but unfortunately, you are seriously ill, and even the imperial doctor can't do anything. The man has passed away, Ziyan, I am sorry, I want to think about it Bar."

Miss Shan died of illness? !

Rong Youtang was taken aback, and blurted out: "When did it happen?" A while ago I heard you showing off your trip with a beautiful woman!

Guo Da slumped down, slapped the armrest of the chair heavily, and said in deep pain: "She caught a cold in the middle of last month, she was careless at first, and then she was abused by quack doctors with tiger wolf medicine, and her condition became worse."

After a pause, Guo Da couldn't bear it, and said angrily: "The Shan family is stupid! This winter is very cold, and our ancestors are old, so they planned to enter the palace when the weather is warmer and ask for a marriage, but the Shan family mistakenly think that my Guo family dislikes me. The girl is weak and sick, so she hides it intentionally and doesn't ask for help until she can't hold it anymore, but what's the use? She's dying! Good girl, she's just gone!" Guo Da choked up, his eyes were red, and he raised his hand to cover his eyes .He and Shan You have met a few times, and went to the temple fair together.

Rong Youtang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say any dry comforting words, but silently poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Guo Da.

Zhao Zeyong was also speechless, patiently accompanying one side.

long time

Guo Dacai sniffed hard, raised his sleeves and pressed his eyes indiscriminately, and blamed himself: "It's all my fault that I trusted her parents too much. I thought she was really embroidering a dowry in the past half month, and I was so silly."

"Your life is fixed, there is nothing you can do about it." Zhao Zeyong could only comfort in this way.

After a while, Guo Da smiled wryly: "It can be seen that there are lovers in the world, it is difficult to get married. Cousin, the old ancestor deliberately matched you and Huixin, I can't persuade you, what should I do?"

Like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, Rong Youtang opened his eyes wide and looked straight at King Qing.
