"Knock knock!"

"Come in!"

Zhang Ru pushed the door and walked in, and closed the door with his hand: "Master." ”

Cui Keji lay lazily on the bed: "Your master is now a prisoner under the stairs, if you want to come in, come in, why knock on the door so politely." ”

The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.

Zhang Ru smiled: "This is taught by the teacher. No matter what Master is, he is my Master, a teacher for one day and a father for life. ”

Cui Keji said: "You still know the word master!" ”

Zhang Ru said lightly: "If I don't know the word master, I'm afraid that you will already be in a different place when the spring is full of buildings." ”

The calm speech dialogue was full of the smell of gunpowder, which seemed to come from Cui Keji's body and seemed to be emanating from Zhang Ru's body.

Cui Keji changed his posture to make him feel comfortable: "Yo, keep saying that Master, Master, in fact, I wish I was a master and killed me quickly!" Zhang Wenxuan, you must know that keeping me is not good for you. I am one of the Nine Guards of Tianmen ordered by the first emperor, and I was born to do things for the imperial court.

Your Majesty wants to kill you, and you have no choice but to kill you. ”

Zhang Ru said coldly: "I remember that the teacher once said that a person is always free, at least his choice is free. I can choose to die, or I can choose to rebel. Even if I die after resisting, I have at least resisted. It's better than dying under someone else's butcher's knife for no apparent reason, leaving a lifetime of infamy. ”

Cui Keji said: "Then you should kill me even more." ”

Judging from the master's tone, he seemed to be agitating.

After closing his mouth and thinking about it, he immediately figured out the joints, and the master probably didn't want to be caught in the middle and die, but it was a hundred over.

Standing on Zhang Ru's side, he felt that he couldn't live up to the emperor's trust. Standing on the emperor's side, he felt sorry for Zhang Ru's apprentice.

After all, for so many years, Zhang Ru has never disgraced him, and even many times he is giving him the long face of being a master.

"Hehe, the master is bent on death, if the disciple kills the master, won't he be scolded by ten thousand people? Besides, when he knew that the master was the leader of all the shadows in Fuzhou, the disciple thought about it carefully. Come to think of it, I can't do anything to my mentor anyway. Master, don't think too much, eat and drink well here, live well, and no one will stop you from doing whatever you want, as long as you don't go out. Zhang Ru sat on the bed and looked at Cui Keji seriously.

Cui Keji said with a cold face: "Lao Tzu doesn't need your mercy. ”

Zhang Ru didn't laugh angrily: "The apprentice is not pitying the master. ”

said that it was too late, Cui Keji suddenly raised his hand and aimed it at Zhang Ru's face is a slap, and the speed of his shot was very fast, even if Zhang Ru wanted to dodge, it was too late, not to mention that Zhang Ru didn't seem to have the intention of dodging.

"Smack!"

After a crisp sound, Zhang Ru tilted his head, and in a few breaths, there were five more bright red finger prints on his face.

Touching his hot face, Zhang Ru smiled bitterly: "Why does Master persecute the apprentice so much, even if you are bent on death, doesn't the master think about the apprentice?" You are dead, and you died after being captured by me, what kind of face do you have to face the spittling of thousands of people. ”

Cui Keji said angrily: "The erector is not enough and conspiracy, from today on, I Cui Keji will not have an apprentice like you." ”

Zhang Ru stood up and said, "It doesn't matter if the master recognizes me as an apprentice or not, as long as the apprentice knows that there is a master." Master's good intentions are remembered by the disciples, but the master should not make it difficult for the disciples. As long as Master, you have a half-point difference, the apprentice will lose this life, and the Cui family will be full of doors, and the chickens and dogs will not be left. ”

His words were not so much a threat to Cui Keji as a persuasion.

He knew very well the character of the master, and if he decided to do something, few people could persuade him.

Of course, there are very few people in this, not including the emperor and Zhang Ru's sister-in-law.

In the past, when Cui Gong was still alive, Cui Keji was only afraid of three people, one was Cui Gong, one was the emperor, and the other was the wife who was not very beautiful.

Now he is only afraid of two people, one is the current saint Zhu Youjiao, and the other is the bad wife who raised three children for him.

Therefore, Zhang Ru's threat was very effective, and it pierced Cui Ke's heart.

He is also a smart man, and he knows what Zhang Ru's intentions are, so he simply closes his eyes and ignores his apprentice.

"I remember when I was a child, it was Master who taught me all the time, sometimes very strict and sometimes very kind, always rescued me from the cold moat when I was exhausted, and then sent me a bowl of ginger soup. Even though Master has a cold face every time he gives me ginger soup, I am still grateful.

Time can change everything about a person, it has changed Emperor Zhu Youjiao, and it has also changed me Zhang Wenxuan, the only thing that has not changed is the master who has been extremely short.

I still remember that when I had a conflict with the people of Wanjia, it was a person named Cui Keji who taught Wantong a lesson, leaving a sentence that I was his master.

How domineering the master was at that time!

Now, the master wants the apprentice's life for the emperor's words, and the apprentice can give it, but the apprentice can't afford it, so please forgive the master. Zhang Ru reminisced about the past while telling his thoughts.

He didn't want to change his master's mind because of his few words, but wanted to make his master feel the warmth and warmth of human affection through his words, and then he wouldn't be bent on dying.

Dying a Cui Keji will only make Zhu Youzhu hate him even more, and it will not do things any good. And Cui Keji is the master who taught him kung fu after all, and he can't bear to kill him.

As he spoke, Cui Keji was moved: "Don't say those useless things, no matter what you say, I won't change my mind." ”

Zhang Ru said: "I didn't let you change your mind, I just want to tell you that we are master and apprentice, and the relationship is closer than the general relationship." If I don't die, you'll be fine, and if I'm dead, my brother will be able to guarantee you. ”

Cui Keji sighed: "Wen Xuan, listen to Master's words, take your people to leave Daming as soon as possible, whether it is to the grassland or to Nanyang, don't stay in Daming." ”

As a loyal courtier, it was already very difficult for Cui Keji to say such things.

Zhang Ru said: "Master, it's not that I didn't want to leave, but I have done so much for Daming, and I am really unwilling to leave like this." I won't leave until the last minute. Zhu Youzhang is ungrateful, he is the emperor, no one can accuse him of anything, but I, Zhang Wenxuan, do not believe in evil! ”

Cui Keji, who has a certain understanding of the character of his apprentice, decides not to persuade him anymore, and if he lives, he will inevitably be the punching bag caught in the middle.
