Little Dandy, He's a Little Good

When Rong Zhuo was called out from under the carriage, the battle was over.

The dead rogues were dragged aside by the guards, while the living ones were bound hands and feet and blindfolded.

"Boss, are you okay?" Xing Chong asked nervously.

When he saw Rong Zhuo being dragged from the carriage just now, Xing Chong Hun'er was half frightened.

Even now seeing Rong Zhuo standing in front of him alive, he still couldn't help being afraid.His duty along the way is to protect the other party's safety, if something happens to Rong Zhuo, he doesn't have to go to see Yu Jingdu, he can just wipe his neck.

"It's okay." Rong Zhuo waved to him with a pale face, then silently walked to a big rock not far away, bent down, and vomited loudly.

When he was fighting just now, all he could think about was the medicinal materials, and there was no time to be afraid.Now after everything was over, the fear in his heart spread little by little.

Although he had seen bloody scenes when he was in the Beibei Army, it was still different from what he saw when he personally shot and wounded others.Especially the rogue who fell on the ground at the end, Rong Zhuo didn't know whether the other party was killed by the guards or by the sleeve arrow he shot.

If it was the latter, he would be considered a murderer today.

He didn't regret what he had done, but his stomach still couldn't help but churn.

"My lord!" Jin Douzi patted his back and couldn't help feeling distressed.

Because he did not sit in the same car as Rong Zhuo this time, so when the incident happened, he was not by Rong Zhuo's side.

Thinking of the danger their young master faced just now, he felt a chill down his spine.

"Doctor Lin, take the pulse of the master, and see if you are injured?" Xing Chong came to the accompanying doctor.

Jin Douzi hurriedly supported Rong Zhuo to find a place away from the dead and sat down, and asked Dr. Lin to diagnose Rong Zhuo's pulse.

"I'm fine." Rong Zhuo said weakly.

He had just vomited a while ago, but now his face was extremely pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Is my boss feeling sick besides nausea? Do you feel any pain in your body?" Dr. Lin asked.

Rong Zhuo raised his hand and stroked his heart. Although he was thrown hard just now, his head was not on the ground, so there should be no trauma, "I don't feel any pain now."

"That's good. If my boss feels uncomfortable, please tell me in time." Dr. Lin said.

Rong Zhuo hurriedly nodded upon hearing this, and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.

Seeing that he was fine, Xing Chong was a little relieved.

Now this place is not suitable to stay for a long time, he ordered one person to rush to inform the government office of the nearby state capital, and left a few people here to guard the captured rogues, then he organized the caravan and continued to set off.

As for the medicine that was thrown down the mountain by the rogues, because the quantity was not large, and it was not considered too precious medicinal material, and because everyone didn't know much about the situation at the bottom of the mountain, they finally decided to discard it.

"Xing Chong." Rong Zhuo glanced at the people he left behind, "If there are bandits coming later, will they be in danger?"

Xing Chong hesitated for a while, but still chose to confess to Rong Zhuo: "Boss, I have already ordered them, if there is any change, they will immediately kill the rogues captured alive, and then they don't have to fight."

Rong Zhuo was taken aback, but knowing that his arrangement was reasonable, he didn't say anything else.

To put it bluntly, these rogues are all desperadoes, death is not a pity, and they are not worthy of sympathy.

This accident came and went quickly. When the caravan arrived at the next post, it was hardly too late, and the sky was not even dark.

Along the way, Rong Zhuo never showed anything wrong.

Although he was still not free from the emotions of killing with his own hands, but considering that he was the owner of the caravan, he didn't want to appear too overwhelmed in front of everyone.

In fact, in today's matter, he has behaved calmly and calmly enough.Helplessly, all the people who accompanied him were rolled out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood. Rong Zhuo wanted to appear unobtrusive in front of them, it was really difficult for him.

Xing Chong and the others were a little worried about him at first, but seeing that he behaved as usual, they didn't take it to heart.

Therefore, the next morning, no one noticed Rong Zhuo's unusual complexion.

Jin Douzi thought that Rong Zhuo was afraid of the cold, so he wrapped a scarf and hat on him early in the morning, and specially found a thick cloak for him to wear on the way.

It wasn't until they arrived at the post house outside Beijiang City that he realized something was wrong with Rong Zhuo.

At this time, Rong Zhuo was already a little delirious.

"What's going on?" Xing Chong asked Doctor Lin.

"Blame me." Doctor Lin said with some guilt: "That day I realized that my boss must have been frightened, but when I saw that he behaved as usual later, I thought he was fine. If I had known this, I should have given him a prescription that day. It is the prescription for soothing the gods."

Xing Chong frowned, told Doctor Lin to take care of Rong Zhuo, and then hurried to the Northern Army camp.

Since the day the caravan set off from Yuzhou, Xing Chong sent people to Beijiang to deliver the news.

So Yu Jingdu has been counting the days when the caravan arrives in Beijiang.

I thought that if they arrived on schedule, everything would go well, but I never expected that such an accident would happen on the way.

"How is Rong Zhuo?" Yu Jingdu asked coldly.

"Young Master Rong is fine, that is..."

"What is it?"

"I was a little scared." Xing Chong said.

Yu Jingdu kept a calm face and didn't ask any more questions. He ordered the horse to be prepared, and hurried to the posthouse.

Rong Zhuo's fever has subsided a lot now, and he fell asleep after Dr. Lin gave him the injection.

He had already lost a lot of weight during this journey, but now because of his illness, his complexion was pale, and even his lips had no color.

When Yu Jingdu saw Rong Zhuo's appearance, his heart ached terribly.

He thought it would be convenient for him to find someone to protect the boy so he wouldn't have to go through this.

But he didn't expect to come to this step in the end.

His little dandy has always been timid, even afraid of death, let alone killing someone with his own hands...

He still remembered that when someone died in Jiang Jiyan's mansion, Rong Zhuo was so frightened that he didn't dare to sleep by himself at night, and wanted to drag Yu Jingdu to accompany him.But now Rong Zhuo killed someone with his own hands, but there is no one around him to comfort him.

The more Yu Jingdu thought about it, the more he felt distressed, and only hated himself for not being able to protect the boy well despite all his calculations.

"Where are the bandits?" Yu Jingdu asked Xing Chong.

"Many died, and those who were captured alive were handed over to the local government." Xing Chong said.

"No one slipped through the net?"

"Run a few."

Yu Jingdu's eyes froze, and he said coldly: "This gang of rogues should have been cleaned up a long time ago. Let people notify all the state capitals from Beijiang to Yuzhou, and post a notice to all the bandits and rogues. Within three days from the date of posting the list If you surrender, you can avoid the death penalty, and those who do not surrender within three days will be killed on the spot when the payment is made, and no one will be left alive."

"Yes."

He was just too busy with the war before, but now he thinks it will be a disaster to keep these people around sooner or later.

Rong Zhuo fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up from hunger until midnight that day.

When he touched his growling stomach and stood up, he smelled a scent of noodle.

"Are you awake?" Yu Jingdu came in from outside the screen, moved to the side of the couch and raised his hand to touch his forehead.

Rong Zhuo stared at him blankly, his expression mixed with surprise and joy, "Why are you here?"

"You've been sleeping all day." Yu Jingdu took out his outer robe and helped him put it on, "Get up and have some hot noodle soup."

Rong Zhuo didn't expect to see him as soon as he woke up, so he didn't care about anything at the moment, he just felt very happy.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Rong Zhuo raised his hand and put on his robe cooperatively, then sat on the edge of the couch and watched Yu Jingdu help him put on his boots, "Did I sleep all day? Isn't that a waste of a day?" time?"

As he said that, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Yu Jingdu felt sore when he heard this, and felt very uncomfortable.

"Eat the noodles first, or it will get cold in a while." Yu Jingdu led him to the outside room, first fetched water for him to rinse his mouth, and then took the chopsticks and handed them to him.

Rong Zhuo slept for a whole day, now the fever subsided, his stomach was already hungry enough, and he ate a bowl of noodles with his head buried in threes and fives.

"What's the matter with the bruises on your body?" Yu Jingdu asked after he finished eating the noodles.

Rong Zhuo was stunned, and then realized that when he woke up, his pajamas had been changed. He thought that when he was asleep, Yu Jingdu wiped his body, so he saw the bruises on his body.

"I accidentally dropped it." Rong Zhuo said.

"Did you fall when you met a bandit?" Yu Jingdu asked.

When Rong Zhuo heard the words, he knew that Xing Chong must have told him, so he didn't hide it anymore, and told him what happened.

"Are you a fool?" Yu Jingdu frowned and said, "Did you even give up your life for a load of medicine?"

When Xing Chong talked to him earlier, he only said that Rong Zhuo took advantage of the chaos to hurt several bandits and even killed one, but he didn't elaborate on the reason.

Because others didn't know what Rong Zhuo was thinking at that time.

So Yu Jingdu always thought that Rong Zhuo's killing was just out of defense.

Now that he heard it like this, the other party turned out to be for a cart of medicine!

"Do you know how black their hands are?" Yu Jingdu said angrily, "If his hands were stronger, he could have thrown people to death! Fortunately, your bruises were on your back. If there is a stone, your bones will be broken, and if your head hits the ground..."

When Yu Jingdu said this, his emotions were a little out of control.

He didn't dare to think about the eventuality at all, and when he thought that those shocking bruises on Rong Zhuo's body were thrown out by someone, he felt terrified.

"Am I okay?" Rong Zhuo whispered.

"How dare you say it's okay?" Yu Jingdu said, "What does it mean to be okay?"

Rong Zhuo was happy when he saw him, but he didn't expect him to be so angry, his eyes were red with fright, and he didn't dare to speak again.

Seeing the young man's pale face, Yu Jingdu immediately realized that he had lost his composure, and immediately regretted it.

He embraced Rong Zhuo in his arms, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you."

Rong Zhuo put his arms around his waist, "I didn't mean to take risks, that medicine..."

"I know." Yu Jingdu said: "I know those medicines are very important, but in my heart, a hundred carts of medicines are not as good as yours. If you have an emergency, what do you want me to do?"

Yu Jingdu let go of him a little bit, and held his face in one hand, "Promise me, there will be no next time."

"Yeah." Rong Zhuo sniffed, "Are you still angry?"

Yu Jingdu's heart softened because of his cautious appearance, "What a little fool."

He's not angry, he's just too scared.

"I want you to promise me one thing." Yu Jingdu said: "No matter what happens in the future, no matter what it is for, you can no longer put yourself in danger. Otherwise, I will lock you by my side. I won't let you go."

Rong Zhuo nodded, and squeezed his fingers with one hand.

That night, Yu Jingdu asked Dr. Lin to take Rong Zhuo's pulse again.

He was a little relieved when he was sure that the burning had subsided.

"Are you still afraid?" Yu Jingdu asked him.

Rong Zhuo nestled in his arms, "I'm not afraid now."

"I asked Xing Chong, that man was pierced through the heart by the guard, even if you didn't mend that arrow, he would not survive an hour." Yu Jingdu said: "So you don't count as killing him."

"I've already accepted this matter." Rong Zhuo said, "Yu Jingdu, were you still scared the first time you killed someone?"

"I was also scared, but after killing too many people, I forgot how I felt at that time." Yu Jingdu said.

Rong Zhuo gently stroked his scar with one hand, "I wish I knew you earlier."

"I'm glad you didn't know me earlier." Yu Jingdu said, "You wouldn't like me at that time."

"Not always."

"Stop making trouble." Yu Jingdu grabbed his troublesome hand, "You are just sick, and I don't want to bully you tonight."

"Ah?" Rong Zhuo was taken aback, his tone seemed a little disappointed.

Yu Jingdu laughed and said, "Are you expecting me to bully you?"

"No." Rong Zhuo blushed and said, "I just..."

It's just that he hasn't seen Jing Du for too long, and he misses him a little.

And the best way he can think of to relieve his longing is to get close to the other party.

That kind of fusion that is so close to each other can express their affection for each other better than any language.

"How long do you plan to stay in Beijiang this time?" Yu Jingdu asked him.

"Ten days?" Rong Zhuo asked him.

Yu Jingdu had no choice but to let him go, but Beijiang is already very cold now, and it will get colder and colder in the future.Fortunately, there hasn't been too much snow yet. If it snows heavily, the caravan may be trapped here for the winter.

But with Rong Zhuo's body, it was too much for him to spend the winter in Beijiang.

"Alright." Yu Jingdu said, "Let Lao Lu go find Shopkeeper Xie tomorrow, and you don't have to worry about the caravan."

"Are you going back to the camp tomorrow?" Rong Zhuo asked him.

"No, I'll go back after you leave. I've been with you for the past few days."

After hearing this, Rong Zhuo nestled in Jing Du's arms and fell asleep contentedly.

Originally thought that the two of them could really hang out in the post house for ten days.

However, no one expected that on the evening of the second day, news came from the camp that there was a change in the army of the Kuang Kingdom.

Yu Jingdu was helpless, and stayed with Rong Zhuo for another night, and left for the camp before dawn the next day.

At noon that day, Yu Jingdu sent a letter from his entourage, asking Rong Zhuo to take the caravan back as soon as possible and not to stay in Beijiang any longer.

"What do you mean?" Rong Zhuo asked Xing Chong: "Is Beijiang City in danger? Are you going to hit Beijiang City?"

"This is the military affairs of the Northern Garrison Army, Xing didn't dare to ask about it." Xing Chong said: "It may also be that Beijiang is about to snow."

Hearing this, Rong Zhuo raised his head and glanced at the sky, and felt that the sky was gray, and it really looked like it was going to snow.

"My master doesn't know. In previous years, this month, Beijiang City was basically covered by heavy snow." Xing Chong said: "We are lucky this year, and Beijiang hasn't had heavy snow until now. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid This winter we will celebrate the New Year in Beijiang."

With the climate of Beijiang, once they were trapped, they would probably not be able to return until March or April of the following year.

In fact, the two shipments of medicinal materials they gave to the Northern Army had almost been delivered.

If nothing else, these amounts are enough for them to last until May and June of the following year.

So even if Rong Zhuo waits until the beginning of spring to go back, he should be able to barely catch up with the next trip.

If you're lucky, the war might end before then...

Ke Rongzhuo also knew that being in Beijiang City might not be a good thing for Jingdu.

Yu Jingdu would be distracted because of him, and would always worry about his safety.

And his current status doesn't allow him to stay for too long, otherwise the capital may become suspicious, and if someone wants to use him as a fuss to trip Yu Jingdu, it will be another trouble.

"How about the old road?" Rong Zhuo asked him.

"This time, Boss Xie made preparations and helped us to pack up the goods in advance, so if we go to load the goods today, we can leave tomorrow." Xing Chong said.

Rong Zhuo sighed, then looked up at the sky, "Then let's leave tomorrow."

Hearing this, Xing Chong hurriedly ordered everyone to prepare for departure tomorrow.

Rong Zhuo originally thought that he would not see Yu Jingdu before leaving Beijiang this time, but he did not expect that Yu Jingdu still came to the posthouse that night.

The two stayed together until midnight, Rong Zhuo was reluctant to sleep, for fear that Yu Jingdu would leave as soon as he fell asleep.

"Are you going to the front line tomorrow?" Rong Zhuo asked him.

"Reluctant to bear me?" Yu Jingdu moved closer to his lips and kissed him, "After returning to the capital this time, I will be honestly waiting for me, maybe I will be able to go back in the spring."

"Really?" Rong Zhuo asked him.

"I will try my best." Yu Jingdu said, "But I don't dare to talk too much, lest you be happy in vain."

Rong Zhuo thought for a while, "It doesn't matter how long you wait, as long as you come back safely."

Yu Jingdu held him in his arms, "Take care of yourself, don't make me worry."

Rong Zhuo nodded in his arms, after all, he couldn't resist the drowsiness, and soon fell into a drowsy sleep.

Early the next morning, Yu Jingdu had already left the post house, Rong Zhuo asked someone, and learned that the other party left in the middle of the night.

He didn't allow himself to be too immersed in the emotion of parting, and soon he picked up his mood and took the caravan back to Beijing.

Previously, Yu Jingdu had issued an order to suppress the bandits in advance to the state capitals along the way, and the state capitals did not dare to neglect at all, and they immediately posted a notice and began to clear the bandits and rogues.They may not be able to achieve much in the short term, but after the news came out, the bandits and rogues became much more honest.

Therefore, Rong Zhuo did not encounter the slightest twists and turns on the way back.

Not long after they left Beijiang, it began to snow, so their speed slowed down a lot.

When the caravan arrived in the capital, it was almost the end of the year.

Duan Zheng got the news early on and waited outside the city to greet them early in the morning when they entered Beijing.

Song Mingan, Qingyu and others also came together.

Rong Zhuo said goodbye to them for a long time, and he couldn't help feeling quite emotional when they saw each other again.

But in just over half a year, not only Rong Zhuo has grown up, even Song Mingan and the others seem to have calmed down a lot.

The person who has changed the most is Qingyu. He probably has been running outside for a long time, his complexion is a little darker, and his clothes are not as delicate as before, and he looks much firmer.

If it hadn't been for Rong Zhuo seeing that he was embroidering again when he was free, he would have almost suspected that he had changed.

Rong Zhuo didn't hang out with them for too long that day, so he went home first.

Knowing that he was coming back today, Duan Chengxing also went to the Rong Mansion early to wait, and the two families got together to greet him.

But Duan Zheng didn't join in the fun, after sending Rong Zhuo home, he went to the Zhuangzi to set up more than a dozen tables to welcome the caravan guys.Now he has long lost the laziness and childishness of the past, but he has a bit of responsibility for his boss.

In the military newspaper sent by the Northern Army to the capital earlier, it was mentioned that the medicines transported by the caravan had saved the lives of many soldiers in the army, so after Rong Zhuo returned to Beijing, the emperor specially ordered to reward Rong Zhuo with many things.

Rong Zhuo didn't care much about these things, he didn't do this to please the emperor.

The days after returning to the capital suddenly became idle, but Rong Zhuo was not used to it.

So after resting at home for two days, he went to Shopkeeper Song and Doctor Wu for a walk.

The previous patented medicine was able to go so smoothly, thanks to the cooperation of the Song family pharmacy.

Later, Imperial Physician Wu also helped a lot. The cartload of medicine that Rong Zhuo spared no hesitation to save earlier was refined by Imperial Physician Wu under his leadership.

"Young Master Rong has done a lot of good things this time." Imperial Physician Wu said to Rong Zhuo.

"Imperial Physician Wu praised you, this time I would like to thank you for what you have done in the Imperial Hospital."

"It's just a matter of duty." Imperial Physician Wu greeted Rong Zhuo to sit down, and then pushed back the servants in the mansion, and then said to Rong Zhuo: "Young master just came back from Beijiang, forgive me for arrogating, I don't know how the border war is going to be?"

Rong Zhuo was taken aback, "To tell you the truth about Imperial Physician Wu, I don't know much about the border war."

"Has His Royal Highness not revealed a thing or two to the young master?"

"Why did Imperial Physician Wu ask such a question?" Rong Zhuo frowned and said, "But... what's going on in the capital?"

He knew that this Imperial Physician Wu belonged to Yu Jingdu, so the other party's words were definitely not meant to test him.

Then there must be a reason why the other side cares so much about the war at the border.

Thinking of the other party's current position in the palace, Rong Zhuo had a vague guess in his mind.

"To tell you the truth, young master, there is something I have hesitated for a long time, but I still feel that I should find a way to inform His Highness." Wu Taiyi said: "A few days ago, I checked His Majesty's pulse, and found that His Majesty's pulse was false. It seems... not very good."

He shouldn't have told others about this matter rashly, after all, it was a big matter.

But the emperor's life and death are too important, and now Yu Jingdu is at the border again, so he dare not hide it.

And he knew the relationship between Rong Zhuo and Yu Jingdu, and knew that Rong Zhuo looked ignorant, but in fact he was calm and reliable, so he decided to tell him the matter.

Rong Zhuo was startled, "It's not good...what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty now looks at the dragon's body in good health, but his body is not solid." Wu Taiyi said, "Your Majesty has always cared about his body over the years, but he had been slutty for a while in the early years, and he didn't pay attention to maintenance at that time. , so there are many hidden dangers in the body."

"Can it be rectified?" Rong Zhuo asked him.

"If there are no accidents, it will not be a big problem if you keep it well." The imperial doctor said: "If there is another blow, it will be hard to say."

Rong Zhuo only remembered after he reminded him that the emperor died quite suddenly in the original book.

It's just that in the book, the deposed prince and the queen's death gave him a series of blows, so his sudden death seems more logical.

Listening to what Wu Taiji said now, the death of the emperor in the original book does not seem to be accidental.

Rong Zhuo doesn't care how long the emperor can live.

But right now Yu Jingdu is at the border, if something happens to the emperor, I'm afraid the capital will be in chaos.

After all, the deposed prince is still alive, and there are several adult princes in the palace. Even if these people seem to have no disobedience on weekdays, no one can tell what they will do at this critical moment.

But once something happened to the emperor and others took the opportunity to usurp the throne, Yu Jingdu, who was far away at the border, would be in danger.

Physician Wu probably also thought of this, so he took the risk to tell Rong Zhuo about it.

"I will find a way to send a message to His Highness." Rong Zhuo said, "Thank you, Imperial Physician Wu, for telling me."

"Young Master Rong, you are being polite. The old minister does not want any further misfortunes in this matter, both public and private. His Royal Highness is safe and sound, which is also a good thing for me and the people." Wu Taiyi said, "No matter what, the old man will do his best to protect His Majesty." Dragon body. But if there is an emergency, I still hope that His Royal Highness can make preparations, so as not to be caught off guard."

Rong Zhuo hurriedly agreed when he heard the words, and bowed to him solemnly.
