Chapter 503: Zhang Qiu (2)
And so it is.
After Zhang Pei reported the truth, his heart was cold, and there was an indescribable apprehension.
Over the years, he has followed Sima Yu to do things, and with his own wisdom and ability, he has become Sima Yu's confidant step by step, in fact, his desire has not changed - to have a good income, so that his parents, wife and children can live a better life than ordinary people.
At first, he wanted to talk to another cabinet scholar, but people didn't want a person like him who was too grassroots, and it happened that Sima Yu was trying to recruit two subordinates at that time, and the salary offered was higher than that of ordinary people, so he came to apply.
In order to be hired, he could be said to have exhausted eighteen martial arts at that time, and finally was hired.
He thought that his martial arts were not the best among the applicants, and his literary talent was even less impressive, and the reason why he was able to impress Sima Yu's heart and hire him was probably because his attitude was sincere enough and his brain turned fast enough.
Before he became Sima Yu's subordinate, he only heard that Sima Yu was a military wizard and had a very high prestige in the imperial court, and he didn't know anything else. In the year after he was hired, he did some miscellaneous work, and he didn't have the opportunity to say a few words to Sima Yu.
At that time, he thought to himself that since he had followed such a powerful person, he had to learn some military skills from him, and he might as well be able to become a general or something in the future after learning it.
So, in order to attract Sima Yu's attention, he constantly created opportunities to meet Sima Yu, and later, because of his brilliant idea, he successfully attracted Sima Yu's attention, and not long after, he was transferred to Sima Yu's side.
In this way, he changed from Sima Yu's subordinate to a confidant, and his salary doubled.
After becoming Sima Yu's confidant, he gradually understood what Sima Yu was and what he did. Only then did he know that Sima Yu was not what he had imagined. He was hesitant to leave for a while, but he vaguely felt that if he left, Sima Yu would probably kill him secretly, because Sima Yu had said when he asked him to be his confidant, 'The only thing you have to remember after you become my confidant is not to tell the outside world what I have done, no matter to anyone'.
Zhang Yu stayed like this, and did his best to help Sima Yu do things.
In the past three years, Sima Yu's salary to Zhang Li has been rising every year, and now, the salary he receives every month can be said to ensure that the whole family is very rich.
Thinking that his original wish was to make his family rich, he persuaded himself again and again to give up the idea of leaving Sima Yu.
In fact, even if he is unwilling, it is unlikely that he will be able to leave, after all, he knows too many secrets, and Sima Yu will not let him go easily.
In the past year, he has often had a sense of crisis that something bad is going to happen soon.
Especially in the last two months, this sense of crisis has been particularly strong.
Zhang Yu's hands and knees were trembling as he knelt.
Sima Yu looked at Zhang Yu with a gloomy face, while half-squinting his eyes and pondering, after a long time, he finally spoke: "Get up and speak." ”
After saying that, Sima Yu glanced at a subordinate standing on the side.
The man immediately walked away lightly.
Zhang Ji noticed it, but pretended not to know anything, and slowly stood up.
Soon, the man brought freshly brewed tea and steaming snacks.
Sima Yu beckoned Zhang Yu to sit down and said, "That monk's identity is not a direct threat to us, and it is difficult to reach him, so don't bother to investigate his affairs." ”
Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Let's have tea. Sima Yu said, personally poured him a glass, then poured himself another glass, and immediately took a sip.
Zhang Qi's hand holding the tea trembled a little, and he passed the tea to his lips in an extremely slow motion, but stopped again.
Sima Yu glanced at him quickly, the corners of his mouth twitched quietly, and the hand holding the teacup tightened unconsciously.
He was waiting.
Zhang Yu's gaze swept towards Sima Yu, then withdrew his gaze, casually put the teacup back on the table, picked up a piece of snack that was still hot and ate it.
Sima Yu smiled invisibly and picked up a piece of dim sum to eat.
Zhang Yu quickly glanced at the window while eating a snack. The place where he sat was about a foot away from the window, and there was a peach grove outside.
At the other end of the peach forest is a high wall, from which Bu Fan escaped.
Of course, when Bu Fan fled, Zhang Yu had not yet become Sima Yu's subordinate, I didn't know that there was such a thing, but when Zhang Qiu's eyes fell on the peach forest outside the window, the thoughts in his heart were the same as Bu Fan's back then.
Escaping from here is naturally very dangerous and not easy to implement, but Zhang Ji decided to give it a try.
If he hadn't given it a try, he knew he wouldn't have survived today.
Zhang Yu was thinking about it, and Sima Yu was also thinking about it. He still remembers the lesson of Bufan's escape back then, and he won't let this happen again.
"Subordinate........ My stomach was not very comfortable, so I took my leave first. Zhang said.
Sima Yu smiled and said, "Do you want to ask a doctor to show you?"
Zhang Yu hurriedly said: "No need, it's just that I have eaten something and my stomach is broken, just go home and cook some soup with the herbs sent by my mother and drink it." ”
When it comes to his mother, Zhang Qiu's heart can't help but tighten.
Sima Yu knew his home address, and even if he was lucky enough to escape this time, his family would fall into Sima Yu's hands.
Zhang Yu's brows furrowed slightly.
However, now he has no time to think about the safety of his family, so he will get himself out of danger first.
After all, only if he got out of danger first could he save his family.
The latticework of the window not far from him had a large space, and he could jump out of the largest one.
Zhang Yu got up and said goodbye.
Then he rushed to the window with lightning speed.
Sima Yu watched calmly and did not get up to block it.
Zhang Yu jumped out of the window smoothly. After his feet hit the ground, he ran into the depths of the peach forest like a lifeless man.
Everything was business as usual, and there was no one behind him.
Something didn't seem right, Zhang thought as he ran, but his footsteps didn't stop.
There was a high wall not far away, and Zhang Ji ran faster and faster.
He had been here and knew that he could climb a tree on one side, then jump from that tree to a high wall, and then jump down from a high wall.
It's just that since the beginning of last year, a guard pavilion has been set up outside the high wall, which is guarded by a man and a dog all day long, and when he jumps off the high wall, he may not be entangled by the dog, but now he can't care so much, and decides to act according to the original plan first.
The high wall was less than ten feet in front of him, Zhang Qiu couldn't help but perk up, and was about to run towards the big tree next to the high wall when he suddenly felt as if there was a strong wind behind him, and when he realized that an arrow had pierced his heart, and then another shot from his left and right.
With a few whooshing sounds, the two arrows also hit different vital parts of his body.
Zhang Yu didn't have time to turn around to look at the archers before he fell to the ground, and stopped breathing after a while.
That night, his parents, wife and children all disappeared in secret, and no one knew where they had gone, and no one knew whether they were alive or dead.
