Little Dandy, He's a Little Good

Rong Zhuo was tired and scared that night, and was drenched in the rain for half the night, so he was already at the end of his strength at this moment.

He was holding on to his spirit before, but he was worried about the safety of Rong's mother and the others, but now that Yu Jingdu said that someone had already sent someone to look for him, once the string in his heart was loosened, he couldn't hold on anymore and passed out.

Not long after, someone came to inform Yu Jingdu that the hot water was ready.

Rong Zhuo is now in a coma, and Yu Jingdu can't let him take a bath, fearing that he won't be able to bear the hot water, so he can only ask someone to bring in the hot water, and then wipe him with a handkerchief.

Yu Jingdu didn't pay attention to take a closer look before, but now he realizes that the boy still has a lot of bump injuries on his legs.

Especially the injury on the calf was soaked by the rain, it was already a little white, and it hurt just looking at it.

Yu Jingdu carefully helped him clean up the wound, his brows were furrowed from beginning to end.

He has been practicing martial arts all year round, and he can roughly determine how the injury came from by simply scanning the wound.

So after he helped the boys one by one with medicine and bandages, he made a rough estimate of the bumps and beatings the boy had experienced along the way.In fact, these injuries are not serious for a warrior, but when they fall on the pampered little dude, it makes people feel distressed for no reason.

If Rong Zhuo is awake at this moment, he will definitely be taken aback by Yu Jingdu at this moment.

It was because His Royal Highness Yan Wang, who was always calm and restrained, was filled with unconcealable hostility at this moment, as if he was going to raise a knife at any time to make a big kill in order to calm the depression in his chest.

After helping Rong Zhuo wipe his body and treat the wound, Yu Jingdu sat by the couch without saying a word.

It wasn't until the door was knocked and Wuyun pushed the door in that he calmed down his hostility.

"Uncle Six." Yu Jingdu saluted him.

"I heard from your guard that the little benefactor is sick, so the poor monk came to take a look." Wu Yun walked to the side of the couch, and was a little startled when his eyes fell on the wound on Rong Zhuo's forehead, "The little benefactor is going to be in the rain before Come, I must have great trust in you."

"He didn't come to look for me, he came to look for Yan Wang." Yu Jingdu said.

"It was you who he came looking for." Wuyun smiled faintly, "Otherwise why would you meet him at the gate of the temple?"

Yu Jingdu was a little puzzled, so Wen Wuyun said again: "I told you last time that this is your fate with him. As for who you are, it doesn't matter." On Rong Zhuo's wrist, he checked the other party's pulse.

"There are no monks in the monastery who are good at healing, so I don't count as a fool, but I have taken on a big responsibility." Wuyun withdrew his hand and touched Rong Zhuo's forehead lightly, "The little benefactor must have been frightened. It was raining and wind chilled."

"Is there any medicine?" Yu Jingdu asked.

"The prescription prescribed by the poor monk has caught the medicine, do you dare to let him drink it?" Wuyun laughed, seeing Yu Jingdu's complicated expression, he said again: "He is too tired, let him sleep first. The young man is very weak. If you can bear it, it will be fine for a few days.”

Yu Jingdu responded, but he was thinking in his mind whether to send someone to Jiangfu to get some medicine, or to take Rong Zhuo directly to Jiangfu after the rain stopped.After all, the conditions in this Qingyin Temple are too harsh, it's nothing for him to live in, and it's really unreasonable to let the sick Rong Zhuo stay here.

Wuyun only stayed in the room for a while, then left.

Yu Jingdu sent people out of the door.

It was already bright at this moment, but because the rain had not stopped, the sky looked gray and depressing.

"The hostility on your body is too heavy, more irritating than this weather." Wuyun looked at the rain curtain in the courtyard and said, "It's not a good thing to let yourself get angry."

"Uncle Six, do you think I was wrong from the beginning?" Yu Jingdu asked.

Wuyun didn't answer when he heard the words, but turned to look at him.

Then he heard him say again: "I made up my mind to let him live his own life well. But I didn't expect that if I don't provoke him, he still can't be safe..."

"Jing Du, you must have met a lot of people outside these years. If you think about it carefully, among all the living beings, which one can easily be alone?" Wuyun asked.

"I can't control sentient beings, I just want him to be safe and sound."

"Have you changed your mind?" Wuyun asked again.

Yu Jingdu frowned, but did not answer.

"I thought that after something like this happened, you would keep him by your side without hesitation." Wuyun laughed and said, "But now it seems that you are still thinking about it."

"Uncle Six, do you think I can win?"

"You never asked me that before."

"In the past, I didn't care about winning or losing. I would lose my life at worst." Yu Jingdu said and glanced at the direction of the room, "But now..." He is no longer the carefree Yu Jingdu. Win or lose.

Thinking of the scene when he saw Rong Zhuo at the gate of the monastery early this morning, Yu Jingdu felt a little bored.

He should have been happy to learn that Xiao Wandan came to take refuge in him, but what Yu Jingdu thought at that moment was:

What if you lose?

What about the little dude?

"I don't want him to die with me." Yu Jingdu said.

"Then you will live with him."

After Wuyun finished speaking, he turned around and left. Before leaving, he folded his hands together and gave Yu Jingdu a slight nod.

Yu Jingdu watched the other party leave, and then stared at the rain curtain that filled the courtyard in a daze for a while.

Rong Zhuo fell asleep for half a day.

When he was drowsy, Yu Jingdu stayed by his side.

Li Feng didn't come back until after noon.

"Everyone is safe. I don't know if the assassin had any scruples or because of other reasons, he didn't go back again." Li Feng said to Yu Jingdu: "According to His Highness's order, they are temporarily placed in Jiang Shaoqing's house."

"Don't say anything about this matter, put your tail away, and don't let people know their whereabouts, so as not to cause complications." Yu Jingdu said.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the horseshoe marks have been tampered with along the way. Even if the assassins go back, they will not be able to find their whereabouts." Li Feng said, "And I ordered people to continue to run forward with the carriage, so that if they follow The traces can only be followed in the direction of Qizhou."

Yu Jingdu nodded when he heard the words, but his brows did not relax.

"Your Highness, what are your plans for Young Master Rong?" Li Feng asked: "Having reached this point, don't you plan to recruit him?"

"People naturally want to stay." Yu Jingdu said: "But this matter can't be rushed, give him some time."

After all, it is a road that cannot be turned back, especially for Yu Jingdu who knew Rong Zhuo's plan before, it is not easy for Rong Zhuo to accept all this in his heart.

Because he didn't want to put any pressure on Chao Rongzhuo on this matter.

In case Rong Zhuo regretted it in the future, he would not be able to argue with the other party.

"Then your identity..."

"Let him take it easy and stop scaring him."

Rong Zhuo didn't know his identity, so he could still treat him as a friend, relying on and trusting him.If he finds out that he is His Royal Highness Yan Wang, even if he doesn't turn his face on the spot, he will respect him at a distance because of his status in the future.

In this way, he really no longer has the possibility of getting close to the other party.

The little dandy would lie on Qingshi's shoulder and cry out of grievance, but it is impossible to do the same to the Yan Wang.

Even if they are clearly the same person...

"You should also read this letter." Yu Jingdu handed the letter that Rong Zhuo carried earlier to Li Feng.

Li Feng quickly scanned the letter and was so shocked that he didn't speak for a while.

"Before the flood in Yuzhou, the imperial court did allocate a large amount of money and food to relieve the disaster, but..." Li Feng frowned and said: "There has been no news of any problem with the disaster relief money and food, and there is no note from Qizhou to hand over it. thing."

"Looking at this posture, the news should be coming soon." Yu Jingdu said: "After all, paper can't contain the fire. If they hadn't heard the trouble, they wouldn't be so anxious to deal with the aftermath."

Li Feng said: "Your Highness means..."

"Rong Qinghuai must have known something and guessed what would happen next, so he was so anxious to send his wife and children away." Yu Jingdu said: "But he is too naive. The easier it is to be targeted." The Rong Qinghuai he was talking about was Rong Zhuo's father.

"This subordinate reads what is said in this letter. Rong Qinghuai is only involved in this matter. He doesn't even count as a positive participation, and he has never been greedy for money." Li Feng said: "Even if the incident happened, with him like this In such a situation, there will not be too much punishment, right? Why is he so panicked... Could it be that he lied in the letter?"

"Probably because he is not the prince's 'insider'." Yu Jingdu said, "This kind of person is very suitable to be a scapegoat."

Li Feng was startled, "Your Highness has confirmed that the person behind this matter is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"This king doesn't know...but Rong Zhuo said it was him." Yu Jingdu said.

Li Feng was shocked when he heard the words, when did their Highness actually believe the words of a little dude?

"My subordinates still don't understand one thing. If Rong Qinghuai is not the prince's person, why did he get involved in this matter?" Li Feng said: "Looking at his style, he doesn't seem to be a person who is greedy for fame and fortune, otherwise why would he As for not even having a backer for many years in the court?"

Yu Jingdu thought for a while, and said, "That was the time when the fourth brother was planning to recruit Rong Zhuo, right?"

"Rong Qinghuai wants to accept a certificate of honor for Young Master Rong first?" Li Feng asked.

"Or...someone deliberately wanted to pull him into the game." Yu Jingdu said: "I didn't expect things to change. Rong Zhuo didn't become the fourth younger brother, so Rong Qinghuai naturally became an outsider."

Yu Jingdu even suspected that the instigator of this incident might not be the prince himself, but the people around the other party thought they were smart.Unexpectedly, they hit the right track and pulled such a scapegoat into the group, and now it's just about to come in handy.

According to Yu Jingdu's speculation, Rong Qinghuai should be considered a sober person, and he discovered the true face of the prince shortly after getting involved in the incident.In this way, it makes sense that he didn't care too much about Rong Zhuo's various "bad deeds" afterwards.

Because he knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was not someone worthy of entrustment.

So instead of regretting the "future" that Rong Zhuo missed, he even acquiesced...

"In this court situation, if you can't stand on a high place, you can only be manipulated by others, and you can't even protect your own family." Yu Jingdu said.

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced in the direction of the room, and said to Li Feng: "Go and rest, and then someone will make a bowl of hot porridge for you."

Hearing this, Li Feng hurriedly responded, and then followed the other person's gaze to look in the direction of the door, guessing that the people in the room must have woken up.

During this sleep, Rong Zhuo had many messy dreams.

He dreamed that he was burning like a stove, and his whole body ached terribly.

He also dreamed that someone wiped his body for him, and the calloused fingers of the other party rubbed his face for a long time, his movements restrained and presumptuous.Restraint is because the strength is very light, and presumptuousness is because of repeated repetitions...

When he woke up, he found that there was no one in the room, and when he wanted to say something, he realized that his voice was very hoarse.

Fortunately, before he got up, the door was pushed open, and Yu Jingdu strode in.

"Qingshi..." Rong Zhuo said, the voice made Yu Jingdu frowned immediately.

"Don't talk yet." Yu Jingdu poured some water and took it to the side of the couch, helped him up with one hand and leaned on him, and then fed him two sips of water.

"My mother, they..."

"They are all resettled in Jiangfu, don't worry, they are all safe." Yu Jingdu said: "When your fever subsides, I will take you to see them."

Rong Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

As soon as he relaxed in this way, his expression became a little sleepy again.

Yu Jingdu stretched out his hand and touched his forehead lightly, the back of his hand touched the other's wound, causing him to hide back.

"Does it hurt?" Yu Jingdu asked.

"It doesn't hurt too much." Rong Zhuo looked at him, with a bit of happiness on his face, "Qingshi, thanks to you teaching me how to throw a horse this time, I rode a horse to lure the thief away last night. They jumped the horse when they didn't pay attention, they didn't know it, they ran after the empty horse..."

When the boy said this, he was still a little proud.

But Yu Jingdu was terrified when he heard it, he almost didn't dare to think about what would happen if there was a slight mistake in the process.

In fact, he has always thought that Rong Zhuo is a very delicate person, who is afraid of the cold, the heat, the tired, the hungry, the dead, even the king of banquets...

But last night, it was such a weak-looking person who, with his own courage, saved his family and braved the cold rain in late autumn for half the night.

"Don't you praise me?" Although Rong Zhuo had a hoarse voice, when he said this, he raised his chin slightly, with an expression on his face begging for praise.

Yu Jingdu didn't want to praise him, and even wanted to say that the next time he encounters such a thing, he should hide to ensure his own safety.

But he couldn't say that, because it was the relatives of the other party who were in danger at the time.

Those who are not very important in his eyes are the ones that Rong Zhuo will risk his life to protect...

So he could only say against his will: "You did a good job."

"I can do better next time." Rong Zhuo smiled sheepishly, "I still don't fall proficiently enough."

"There won't be a next time." Yu Jingdu reached out to help him smooth the loose hair on his forehead, "Someone will protect you in the future."

Rong Zhuo suddenly thought of something when he heard the words, and asked, "Is His Royal Highness the Banquet King awake?"

"You want to see him?" Yu Jingdu asked.

"I..." Rong Zhuo said nervously, "Actually, I'm still a little afraid of him."

When he said this, he unconsciously clutched the hem of his jacket with one hand, and he could see that he was really a little scared.

In Rong Zhuo's heart, that person is the future emperor after all, how can ordinary people not be afraid of seeing the emperor?

"But something like this happened to my father, I can only ask him for help, otherwise my father will be in danger." Rong Zhuo said.

"I have shown your letter to him." Yu Jingdu said, "He sent someone to the capital and said he would protect your father."

"Really?" Rong Zhuo looked surprised, "His Royal Highness is quite bright."

Yu Jingdu was caught off guard by his praise, and his expression was a bit complicated.

"Then did he say he wanted to see me?" Rong Zhuo asked.

"He is in the meditation room and the master in the temple is participating in meditation." Yu Jingdu said, "I won't be able to come out for a while."

Rong Zhuo was obviously relieved when he heard this.

"Qingshi, do you think something will happen to my father? Will he go to jail?" Rong Zhuo said worriedly.

"I heard what the lord said. Your father is not the mastermind, not even an accomplice, and he may have been coerced." Yu Jingdu said: "In addition to the fact that you were hunted down as evidence, as long as he is willing to actively If we cooperate to clarify this matter, I think the crime will not be too serious."

Hearing what he said, Rong Zhuo's complexion finally eased.

He didn't know much about the sentencing rules of this dynasty, and he was really afraid that his father would accidentally lose his life.

"You take care of your illness and don't worry about these things."

Yu Jingdu wrapped him up with a quilt as he said, for fear that he would catch a cold again.

"Qingshi..." Rong Zhuo sat on the couch wrapped in a quilt, only showing his small head, looking obedient and cute, "You said that I would go to His Royal Highness the Banquet King, would he accept me? I have no talent now, He doesn't have a good reputation, he's just a dandy who only knows how to go shopping in flower houses."

"There is no shortage of talented people in Guozixue. As for reputation, Yanwang himself doesn't have that kind of thing, and he doesn't care if you have it." Yu Jingdu said.

"It seems to make sense." Rong Zhuo said again: "But I can't do anything for him even if I go to him, it's still quite useless."

"You saved the lives of your whole family by yourself last night. It can be said that you are brave and resourceful." Yu Jingdu said, "And the letter you brought is very important. If it weren't for your actions last night, this The evidence and the clues of your father will be cut off, if King Yan wants to investigate this matter, it will be difficult to start, so you have helped him a lot."

"Really?" Rong Zhuo had an unimaginable expression on his face.

"It's true, I heard him say it himself." Yu Jingdu said.

"Did His Royal Highness say that I am brave and resourceful?" Rong Zhuo asked in a low voice.

"En." Yu Jingdu nodded.

When Rong Zhuo heard this, he immediately smiled, as if he had won some reward.

"There's only one thing I want to ask you." Yu Jingdu said, "Do you really want to follow him?"

"There is no other way. The Crown Prince must have done this. He wants to kill us now." Rong Zhuo said, "An enemy's enemy is a friend. We and Yan Wang are now grasshoppers on the same rope!"

Yu Jingdu was almost amused by him, and managed to hold it back.

"Have you ever thought about it, in case the Banquet King loses..."

"No, I told you last time that he will be the emperor." Rong Zhuo said with determination.

Yu Jingdu was so amused by his expression that he couldn't help it anymore, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Seeing him laughing, Rong Zhuo foolishly followed suit.

The boy was still running a fever at the moment, and after talking for a while, he started to have a headache again.

He took advantage of the opportunity to rest his head on Jingdu's shoulder, as if resisting the sudden pain in his head.

At this moment, Li Feng brought porridge in.

Rong Zhuo looked up and saw Li Feng, and immediately sat up straight.

"Are you afraid of him?" After Li Feng left, Yu Jingdu asked.

"Is he a member of His Royal Highness Yan Wang?" Rong Zhuo said, "That is the right-hand man of the future emperor, the kind who is under one person and above ten thousand people."

Yu Jingdu frowned, feeling helpless at Xiao Wandan who liked to talk nonsense casually.

But he also likes to listen to other people's nonsense, so he is not willing to teach people to shut up.

Fortunately, he knows that Rong Zhuo is not ignorant of propriety, these nonsense words will probably only be said in front of him, and he may not speak nonsense in front of others.At least he remembered that when he was working as a servant for Zhou Feng, Rong Zhuo never said such inappropriate words in front of him.

Thinking of it this way, he felt very ironic in his heart.

Because he is the only one who is different in the little dandy's heart...

"Then you are also afraid of the Banquet King?" Yu Jingdu asked while feeding him porridge.

Rong Zhuo hurriedly nodded, and obediently drank the porridge with his hand.

"Actually, he's not very scary, he's a nice guy, sometimes he's better at talking than me." Qingshi said.

"You're not good at talking." Rong Zhuo said, "You're actually quite aloof, don't you know?"

Yu Jingdu was startled, "Is there?"

"Yes, if it wasn't because I hired you in the first place, I wouldn't dare to talk to you easily." Rong Zhuo said seriously.

Yu Jingdu never expected that he would have such an image in Rong Zhuo's heart.

"Let me tell you, you have to be careful in front of His Royal Highness the Banquet King. There is a saying that you can't stand high, and people will change after they sit in that position." Rong Zhuo said: "Although he won't How outrageous it has become, but it will definitely not always be like this. So you should be cautious in your words and deeds in front of him."

Rong Zhuo's logic is very simple, just like in modern society, in the work unit, leaders always like to say "you don't have to be restrained".But if someone is really unrestrained in front of the leader, most leaders will not be happy.

"A companion is like a tiger." Rong Zhuo ate porridge in Yu Jingdu's hand, and pointed at the position of Yu Jingdu's heart while lifting his chin, "You must keep this sentence in mind."

Yu Jingdu, who was inexplicably taught to "be a man with his tail between his legs", didn't know what expression to put on for a while.

"You know so well, when you meet the King of Banquet in the future, you will definitely please him very much." Yu Jingdu said meaningfully.

"I'm not a flatterer." Rong Zhuo said seriously: "And it may not be a good thing to please the king! You see, throughout the ages, how many people have fallen for the words 'be proud of favor'."

As he spoke, he looked at Yu Jingdu seriously, as if he was admonishing him.

Yu Jingdu hurriedly nodded cooperatively, looking very modest.

"I took you as a friend to tell you these heartfelt words." Rong Zhuo drank the last sip of porridge, and smiled shyly at him, "Can you serve me another bowl of porridge?"

Yu Jingdu: ...
