In the moment of life and death, Cao Ju could only do his best, and shouted: "Master, the disciple will not be blind to death." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

There was finally a response in the cave: "Mei Niang, stop first." ”

The tip of Zhang Ning's sword was already in close contact with Cao Ju's neck, but he didn't hand it over again, just pressed against Cao Ju's Adam's apple, which also made Cao Ju break out in a cold sweat and swallow a mouthful of spit with difficulty.

His life was temporarily saved, but Cao Ju didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately shouted loudly: "Master, the disciple wants to ask, why did the master let the senior sister kill me, what did the disciple do wrong?" ”

"Hmph." With a cold snort, Zhang Jiao's figure appeared at the door of the cave and said lightly, "Mei Niang, take the sword away, and give this criminal a chance to defend himself." ”

"Daddy......" Zhang Ning was reluctant, but looking at Zhang Jiao's face and hesitating, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to pout, take the sword off Cao Ju's neck, and said coldly, "The surname Cao, if you don't give a joint explanation, today next year will be your death day." ”

Cao Ju asked: "Master, Master asked Senior Sister to kill me, isn't it because the disciple was promoted to filial piety and became an official in the county government?" ”

Zhang Jiao nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, criminal, do you remember what oath I made you make on the day you worshipped me as a teacher?" ”

"Yes." Cao Ju immediately nodded and said, "Master has asked the disciple to devote his life to overthrowing the rule of the Han Dynasty and re-establishing a dynasty, putting the people first. ”

Zhang Jiao's face sank, and he shouted, "But, how did you do it?" Hmph, with the bones of the Yellow Turban brothers as your promotion step, Cao Ju, you swore at the beginning that if you broke your oath, you would die under the sword in the future, and today let Mei Niang clean the door for the teacher and kill you, a criminal. ”

"The disciple is not guilty." Cao Ju immediately shouted loudly, "On the contrary, what Master, the disciples do is for Master's ideals and for the future world. ”

Zhang Jiao looked at Cao Ju, the eyes of the two met in the air, Zhang Jiao's eyes were cold and aggressive, but Cao Ju did not back down at all, the two looked at each other quietly for a full time of incense, Zhang Jiao said lightly: "Okay, Ah Ju, I want to hear your explanation." ”

Calling the sinners back to Ah Ju again, Cao Ju secretly breathed a sigh of relief, did not dare to slack off, and immediately said: "Master, the Yellow Turban of Beishan is a remnant of the Yellow Turban Army, occupying the land of Beishan, but they have forgotten the essence of the Yellow Turban that Master set up back then, and in the past three years, they have become out-and-out bandits. ”

"In the past three years, the Beishan Yellow Turban not only poisoned passers-by, robbed money and women, but also looted some villages and forts in the north of Qiaocheng, and after the disciples broke the Beishan Yellow Turban, there were more than 150 women and children alone. Master, the disciple believed that if Master was present at that time, he would not hesitate to destroy them all. ”

"As for the disciple becoming an official, it naturally makes sense, the disciple watches the sky at night, the current emperor has not lived for three years, and the disciple heard that the current emperor has the heart to abolish the growth and establish the young, this is the way to take trouble, so the disciple concluded that once the current emperor dies, the world is bound to be in chaos."

"The yellow scarves have been dispersed, and the disciples have no prestige, and their martial arts are not strong, so it is impossible to achieve the master's raising of arms and the response of the world, so the disciple thought of this method, became an official, first got a certain right, controlled the military power, and then took advantage of the chaos in the world to capture the city, build up for development, and plot the world."

"Master, the disciple can now assure the master that during his lifetime, the disciple will devote himself to overthrowing the rule of the Han Dynasty and establishing a new dynasty that puts the people first. That's all the disciple said, if the master doesn't trust the disciple, ask the master to let the senior sister do it, the disciple is willing to die. ”

After saying that, Cao Ju knelt in front of Zhang Jiao with a "plop", closed his eyes, raised his neck, and remained motionless.

Zhang Jiao's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Ah Ju, you said that you watched the sky at night and saw that the dog emperor was dying?" ”

"Not bad." This is what Cao Ju said on purpose in order to save his life, so naturally he could only continue to lie, "The disciple is a beginner in the art of astrology, and he can't see it, but it was strange that night, when the disciple looked up at the sky, except for the emperor, the rest of the constellations disappeared, which made the disciple judge like this." ”

At this moment, Zhang Jiao's doubts were completely eliminated, and he thought to himself, God deliberately let Ah Ju see that the Dog Emperor's life was short, what does this mean, could it be ......

Zhang Ning didn't believe Cao Ju's words, his long sword shook, and he said coldly: "Dad, don't believe his rhetoric, let your daughter slaughter him with a sword." ”

"Wait." Seeing that Zhang Ning was going to kill Cao Ju, Zhang Jiao couldn't help but shout angrily and said, "Mei Niang, quickly retreat." ”

The reason why Zhang Ning wanted to kill Cao Ju was that he didn't want to marry him, and was stopped by Zhang Jiao again, and sighed in his heart, but he had to glare at Cao Ju very unwillingly and put away the long sword.

After thinking about it, Zhang Jiao said: "Ah Ju, whether the Beishan Yellow Turban is as bad as you said, the teacher will investigate the results, if it is true, the teacher will believe you again, otherwise, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, the teacher will take your head." ”

Cao Ju breathed a sigh of relief, and arched his hand and said: "Master, the disciple doesn't dare to deceive the teacher, the master can investigate, what the disciple said is absolutely true, it's just that the master had better not let the senior sister investigate, the disciple feels that the senior sister seems to have a very misunderstanding of the disciple, and only wants to kill the disciple." ”

"You... What are you talking about......" Zhang Ning was furious when he heard this, and put his right hand on the hilt of the sword again, but then he saw Zhang Jiao glaring at her, so he let go of his hand and glared at Cao Ju hatefully.

Zhang Jiao knew what the reason was, smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and nodded: "Don't worry, inquire about this news, and the teacher will go in person." ”

"Dad......" Zhang Ning was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted, "Dad, you can't go down the mountain easily, let your daughter do it for you, and your daughter will definitely return to the actual situation." ”

"What can't you go down the mountain, when Guangzong was defeated, didn't I come here the same." Zhang Jiao smiled slightly, "I've been on the mountain for so long, I also want to go down the mountain." ”

Zhang Ning was relieved, and hurriedly said, "That... Dad, your health is not as good as before, and my daughter is not worried that you will go down the mountain alone, and my daughter will go with you. ”

Zhang Jiao thought about it, and there was no objection, and the matter was settled.

Inquire and investigate, inquire casually, Cao Ju was not worried at all, and chatted with Zhang Jiao about other things for a while, and then said goodbye and went down the mountain.

As soon as Cao Ju left, Zhang Jiao said to Zhang Ning: "Mei Niang, my father has already decided to marry you to Ah Ju." ”

"......" Zhang Ning was taken aback, and his face changed color.
