Chapter 14: Ambition

To say that Zhang Ru is unlucky enough, he has only been in the Ming Dynasty for a few years, and he has been lying in bed several times.

When the imperial physician in the palace said that Zhang Ru was fine, Mu Bin, who was full of complicated expressions, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and even Jiang Wei, who had been serving tea and water, changed his face.

Zhang Ru woke up after two days of sleep, during which the emperor sent Liang Fang to visit, and the crown prince Zhu Youzhu personally came to his newly purchased house. However, Mu Bin didn't know these two people, except for being as careful as Jiang Wei, he didn't have much touch.

It wasn't until Zhang Ru woke up that the young man with red lips and white teeth came again, and Zhang Ru blurted out a palace word that Mu Bin guessed some clues.

This is only a suspicion in his heart, he still doesn't know Zhu Youzhang's true identity.

A few days later, Zhang Ru's health improved a lot, and Mu Bin was about to talk to him openly and honestly, but an uninvited guest temporarily pressed all of Mu Bin's thoughts.

The person who came was none other than the most maverick Qianhu in Jinyi Weibei Town's Fusi - Cui Keji.

Legs into Zhang Ru's bedroom, seeing the pale apprentice on the bed, Cui Keji's face like Xuan Bing had an angry face: "Fang Yong and Li Ke are these two old puppets, they are really long-handed, even my apprentice dares to fight!" ”

Zhang Ru struggled to get up, but was held down by Cui Keji's warm big hand: "Boy, don't be afraid if you don't die yet, as long as we don't die, one day they will pay the price." You can rest assured that the humiliation you have suffered today will be brought back by Master for you. ”

Zhang Ru hurriedly said: "Master is angry, there is nothing wrong with the two Jinyi Guard's seniors, but the apprentice is too reckless." They are but their own masters, and no wonder they are. ”

Cui Keji was very domineering: "What about each for his own master, the apprentices I teach, if they want to teach me a lesson, they will teach me a lesson, and it is not their turn to teach my apprentices." Also, you kid still doesn't have such a long memory, how long has it been since he was beaten by Wantong, and he ran out to mess around, and when you get better, give Lao Tzu a good practice at home! ”

Zhang Ru couldn't help but be moved, when he came to Daming, there were so many people who were good to him, but in addition to the prince of the East Palace, there was only the cold-hearted master in front of him.

Moved to be moved, he still rejected Cui Keji's kindness: "Master listened to Huzi's words, Huzi has grown up, this revenge, Huzi wants to avenge himself." ”

Cui Keji looked at Zhang Ru deeply for a while, and then said happily: "Okay, you have backbone, and you deserve to be my apprentice." ”

If Zhang Ru is in good health, he will probably give Zhang Ru a few pats on the shoulder.

Cui Keji is an outlier of the Cui family, his father is the former first assistant, but he doesn't like to learn literature and prefers to practice martial arts, and there is an indescribable reckless atmosphere on his body.

Mu Bin was so shocked by Cui Keji's actions that he opened his mouth wide, Cui Keji was recognized as the most difficult Qianhu to deal with in Beizhen Fusi. On weekdays, let alone seeing his smiling face in the yamen, it is difficult to see his angry face.

Today in the shabby small courtyard of Beiping City, he actually saw Cui Keji laughing.

Just when he was shocked in his heart, Cui Keji suddenly turned around, but just saw his sluggish appearance, and immediately said with a straight face: "You are Mu Bin?" In order to pull you to the East Division, my apprentice did not hesitate to make a big fuss in Beizhen Fusi Yamen, and he will follow Zhang Ru to work hard in the future, and he will not treat you badly. ”

Knowing that Master's face was a little scary, Zhang Ru interjected: "Master, don't frighten Brother Mu. ”

Cui Keji glanced at Zhang Ru: "Don't stop lying in bed, take care of your injuries, and clean you up when you are healed." ”

After Jiang Wei and Mu Bin respectfully sent Cui Keji away, Jiang Wei returned to the yamen to deal with affairs, while Mu Bin hesitated to Zhang Ru's bedside.

Zhang Ru saw through it at a glance, and said lightly: "I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart, if you have anything you want to say and want to ask, just say it boldly." In the future, they will all be their own brothers, so there is no need to hide them. ”

Before he got Mu Bin to the East Division, he always thought that Mu Bin was the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the Hongzhi Dynasty in the future, and after trying his best to get Mu Bin in, he regretted his decision a little.

Let's not talk about what Mu Bin thinks in his heart, if he makes a reckless fuss in Beizhen Fusi, it will give people a bad impression.

If Mu Bin is unwilling to follow, he is afraid that when the time comes, he will be detached from morality, and it will be inconvenient for him to do things in Daming in the future. He was afraid that Mu Bin would have a pimple in his heart, so before everything was a foregone conclusion, he hoped to untie the knot in the hearts of both parties.

Mu Bin asked cautiously: "The son of the brocade clothes and jade belt, but the East Palace."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Ru waved his hand: "There are some things, it's good to know by yourself, there's no need to say it." ”

Mu Bin was immediately relieved: "No wonder Childe is unscrupulous, but I really can't figure it out, Mu Bin is just a pawn of Jinyiwei, where is it worth Childe's trouble?" ”

Zhang Ru said solemnly: "I repeat, everyone will be brothers in the future, there is no need to hide it." ”

For the other party's kind of outward title, Zhang Ru felt tired for a while.

Mu Bin was noncommittal, but his title had changed unconsciously: "You have made me know everything and say everything, but you haven't answered my question positively." ”

Zhang Ru frowned, raised his arms and changed to a slightly more comfortable position, but his brows did not stretch: "What Da Ming is like, you and I know it." In troubled times, it is not a troubled time, but it is not a peaceful and prosperous world. If it goes on like this, can Daming be saved? ”

Mu Bin shook his head.

He also felt deeply unhappy about Daming's maladministration, but he was more helpless in his heart. Because he knows better than anyone that little people are not capable of changing this state.

Zhang Ru continued: "There are demon concubines in the palace who confuse the king's heart, and in recent years, the call for abolishing the prince has become stronger and stronger. Although Wang Zhi is gone, the eunuchs in the palace are still there. The benevolent person in the East Palace doesn't like to be a bad person, so someone must always be a bad person. If you can make the Ming Dynasty last for a hundred years, what if I leave a stench in the history books for 10,000 years! You can help me who I don't know, so I want you to help me. ”

"You're so confident?" Mu Bin asked rhetorically.

This has two meanings, one is that you are so confident that you can change the situation? The other means that you just trust me to help you?

Zhang Ru smiled: "This has nothing to do with whether you are confident or not, you just think of it and do it, how do you know if you don't do it?" ”

Mu Bin nodded: "But the East Division is not a good starting point. ”

Zhang Ru's eyes became profound: "A starting point that is not a good starting point is better than no starting point." The more desperate the situation, the more the potential can be stimulated. I'm sure we can do it. ”

Hearing this, Mu Bin couldn't help but admire the courage of this young man. It stands to reason that from this young man's point of view, there is no need to do these things at all.

The crown prince successfully ascended the throne, and he was able to rely on the identity of the prince's companion to be brilliant and prosperous, even if he was not in power, at least he could be rich and prosperous for a lifetime. Even if the crown prince can't succeed in ascending the throne, with his martial arts, it is not difficult to find a chance to support his family.

However, he did not choose to be mediocre, but chose to fight with his own ability.

Admiration is admiration, but it does not mean that Mu Bin has returned to Zhang Ru, even if this young man has the ability and backstage that ordinary people do not have.

Zhang Ru seemed to see the hesitation in his heart, and continued: "What I need is a Dongsi room who can advance and retreat with me, I didn't want any of those people before, but I will never let go of the people I found." You now have the opportunity to choose whether to kill me or belong to me, and when I am healed, it will be difficult for you to kill me. ”

"Can you let me think about it?" Mu Bin asked.

Zhang Ru muttered: "I can wait, but I'm Ming, I can't wait!" ”

I don't know why at this moment, Mu Bin actually saw Xiao Suo's meaning in the young Zhang Ru, and his heart, which was still hesitating, slowly began to tilt towards Zhang Ru.

"If the husband can't eat five tripods, then he will cook five tripods." Zhang Ru said word by word.

Mu Bin was shocked, and this was said to his heart.

Any man in any era is ambitious, and the reason why there are only heroes who have emerged is because the vast majority of men are intimidated by difficulties. They would rather live a mediocre life than fight again.

Some of these difficulties are family, some are money, and some are ability.

But it cannot be denied that men are ambitious.

He didn't leave, and knelt on the ground in the twilight: "My subordinate Mu Bin, I've seen Lord Xiaoqi." ”

This kneeling means that Mu Bin has officially become a person under Zhang Ru, and this kneeling has also laid the foundation for Mu Bin's future power.

Zhang Ru said happily: "I'm lying on the bed, but I can't help you up." ”

Mu Bin's mood suddenly brightened, and he stood up and said with a smile: "My subordinates have their own legs and can stand up." ”

Zhang Ru said: "If you have legs, you may not be able to stand up, but only with a backbone can you stand up upright." ”

Still a little unaccustomed to being preached by a young man, Mu Bin changed the topic and said: "Dare to ask adults, how many people are there in my east room now?" ”

Zhang Ru frowned and said: "People, you all know, you are one, Jiang Wei is one, I am one, now you are all people." If you have a brother who knows each other well and has a reliable character, you can get in. The most important thing now is that there is no one, and I have the money. ”

Mu Bin laughed and said, "Okay, as long as the adults have something to say, the subordinates will definitely do it." ”

He didn't have the slightest doubt about Zhang Ru's words, because he didn't think that a person who grew up with the crown prince would have no money. It's just that he didn't expect that Zhang Ru's so-called money was the money that was intercepted after the Jinyi guards of the other East Divisions were dismissed.

After Mu Bin left with the task, Zhang Ru slowly fell into a deep sleep with a smile on the corner of his mouth. In his sleep, he seemed to return to the twenty-first century, to the sad scene of being abandoned.

I don't know how long it took for him to wake up from a nightmare, only to find an uninvited guest standing next to the bed.
