The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 232 Promise
After Zhao Gou came out of the palace, he didn't go back to the mansion but went to the Chu Palace.Because he had an agreement with Zhao Ji in advance, everything will follow his wish, and all of this needs the help of a person, and this person is Zhao Yougong, the son of Zhao Si.

An hour later, Zhao Gou came to Chu Palace and knocked on the door; a moment later, someone came to open the door, the man's face was full of sadness, and his old face looked a little surprised.After all, after Zhao Si's death, Zhao Yougong was grounded again, and few guests came. The once crowded market became much deserted as the King of Chu's power weakened.

The man raised his head to look at Zhao Gou, and said kindly, "Who are the officials looking for?"

"Report to your lord, just say that Zhao Gou is here!" Zhao Gou did not reveal his identity, but only his name.

"Zhao Gou?" The man thought for a moment and finally remembered the name, with a look of surprise on his face, he hurriedly asked Zhao Gou to wait, and he immediately responded.

After a while, the man opened the door again and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, my lord welcomes you!"

"Thank you!" Zhao Gou smiled and thanked him; the man was even more surprised when he heard about it, and he didn't even dare to say it, looking flattered.

Zhao Gou didn't say much either. It was his first time to come to Chu Palace. After looking around, he found that this place was not as luxurious and solemn as other palaces, but looked dilapidated.In addition, the martial arts field is the most seen in the mansion. The flowers, plants and trees are just in twos and threes. Even the floor tiles are made of hard stones. It doesn't look like a palace, but a commoner's house.

The man led Zhao Gou to a side room. He didn't go in and he knew that Zhao Yougong must be lying on the bed and couldn't move. You must know that after that incident, it was only a few hours, even if Zhao Yougong was very strong in martial arts. , The body can't bear it either.

"My lord, the county king is here!" the man shouted respectfully outside the door.

Zhao Yougong's voice came from inside the room, slightly tired but still majestic, said: "Uncle Zhao, step back first!"

Uncle Zhao hesitated to speak, but in desperation he turned around and retreated.Uncle Zhao was the steward of the palace when Zhao Si was alive, and after Zhao Si faked his death, Uncle Zhao took care of Zhao Yougong all the time.In Uncle Zhao's eyes, Zhao Yougong is not a high-ranking prince, but more like his own heir.

Although I don't know what Zhao Yougong did a few hours ago, but when Zhao Yougong came back, he was bruised and seriously injured.Uncle Zhao was very anxious, and wanted to find a doctor but was stopped by Zhao Yougong, who only said that he wanted to rest and not be disturbed by outsiders.

Although Uncle Zhao was very worried, he obeyed his orders respectfully, instead of going to look for the doctor, he stayed outside Zhao Yougong's house all the time, in case Zhao Yougong would show up to help immediately if he had anything to do.Although Zhao Bo is old, his body is still strong. When he was young, he was a general and was later favored by Zhao Si. He was also injured in the battle before he retired, and he stayed in the palace to work with peace of mind.

Zhao Gou's late-night visit was beyond his expectation, and he hurriedly reported back to Zhao Yougong. Originally, he didn't want to disturb the rest, but finally remembered Zhao Gou's identity before reporting.Sure enough, when Zhao Yougong woke up from his rest and heard that Zhao Gou had come, he was also very surprised, and finally agreed to see him.

"You came!"

Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Yougong who was sitting up with wide eyes in surprise, and heard his angry voice again, which was beyond his expectation.From his point of view, Zhao Yougong was seriously injured, so he should be resting, but somehow he forced himself to sit up, looking calm as if he knew he was coming, and said in surprise, "You knew I would come?"

Zhao Yougong was seriously injured, even if Zhao Si gave him treatment, the injury still remained, he forced a smile, and calmly replied: "I don't know! I thought it would be a while before I saw you, but I didn't expect you to come tonight. It will be dawn in half an hour!"

"Yes!" Zhao Gou echoed, and said lightly: "Everything has passed, and a new beginning is dawning. Forget what happened yesterday! Since the past, don't take it to heart, life is like this, only Only those who face the future bravely and frankly are the real strong.”

Zhao Yougong said: "The thing has already passed, it was just a flick of a finger, but it is hard to erase in my heart; some things cannot be forgotten at all, even if you want to forget, you will still think about it. Since it happened, why forget it, isn't it? Is it better?"

"Do you think this result is really good?" Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Yougong intently, and replied directly.

"This is what I did, so I should bear the consequences, right?" Zhao Yougong looked directly at Zhao Gou, smiled calmly, and said, "What is the purpose of you looking for me late at night? It must not be for this matter. If you have something to say, just say it!"

Zhao Gou took a deep look at Zhao Yougong, ignored his question, walked directly to Zhao Yougong's side, and shot suddenly, Zhao Yougong accepted it calmly and closed his eyes.In his opinion, Zhao Gou came to deal with him, and when he saw him walking over, Zhao Yougong treated him calmly and accepted the trial silently, and what they said before was about what happened today, which also proved that he did a good job. Prepare.

Zhao Yougong didn't see any movement for a long time, he opened his eyes in bewilderment, and saw Zhao Gou put his hands on his veins, and felt a warm current flowing in his body.Moreover, his chaotic internal organs actually improved, Zhao Yougong's eyes widened in disbelief, and he exclaimed: "You..."

"You have suffered serious internal injuries. With my internal strength, I can only recover most of it. You have to raise the rest by yourself. As for the external injuries, there is nothing you can do!" Zhao Gou retracted his palms and said lightly.

Zhao Yougong felt that his breathing became much smoother, and most of the fatigue disappeared, he said: "Your martial arts have reached such a level, I am not wronged by defeat, it is really not wronged!"

When Zhao Yougong was seriously injured and was taken down by Zhao Si for treatment, Zhao Si scolded him severely and told him bluntly that it was a dream to challenge Zhao Gou with his martial arts.Moreover, Zhao Xi also mentioned that he was not Zhao Gou's opponent, even Fang La was defeated by Zhao Gou.

At that time, Zhao Yougong knew that Zhao Gou's martial arts were much higher than his own, Zhao Si's words seemed a little too big to him, and he still couldn't believe it.However, only after seeing Zhao Gou tonight did he realize that what Zhao Si said was true, because Zhao Gou had actually cultivated the inner strength that martial arts practitioners dream of.

Zhao Gou saw that his complexion had improved a lot, so he sat down opposite him, and said in a deep voice, "I'm looking for you tonight for one thing!"

Zhao Yougong replied: "It's okay to speak up!"

Zhao Gou didn't look sideways, looked directly into Zhao Yougong's eyes, and said, "I want you to make a promise, you can do it!"

"What promise?" Zhao Yougong was puzzled, he didn't know what Zhao Gou meant by saying this, and looked at him in surprise.

Zhao Gou's eyes were burning, and he said solemnly: "The promise of never betraying Song Dynasty again, and dedicating all your energy to Song Dynasty, can you keep it?"

Zhao Yougong was dumbfounded, he looked at Zhao Gou in a daze, and seeing his solemn appearance, he knew it was not a joke, but was telling the truth.Zhao Yougong thought about many things, but never thought that it would be such a promise, the two just looked at each other like this.
