"The old man is the one who wants to kill you." The old man said lightly.

At that moment, the brocade guards who almost shot the bearded man to death were like a dream, but fortunately, Zhang Ru was fine, otherwise they would be to blame for their death.

The only party Zhang Ru wiped his sweat and smiled reluctantly: "But I'm not dead." ”

The old man pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "The old man suddenly doesn't want to kill people, but I heard that your master is the first master of Jinyiwei, and if you have the opportunity, the old man wants to see and understand." ”

Zhang Ru bowed his hand: "Thank you seniors for not killing, kid Zhang Ru is grateful." Dare to ask the seniors, who instigated the assassination? ”

The old man didn't speak, but the strong man spoke: "Haven't you heard that killers never tell their guests?" Master, this kid is lying to you! ”

The old man's face changed slightly, and he reprimanded: "Idiot, don't be stupid as a teacher!" ”

Zhang Ru chuckled: "Looking at the dress of the seniors, they don't look like killers who kill people for a career." And just now, my predecessor obviously had the opportunity to kill me, and he carried my head to see my employer, but he didn't kill me on the spot. ”

The old man snorted: "The old man didn't kill you just now because the old man can kill you at any time." As for when to kill, it depends on the mood of the old man, and it is not something that a eunuch can control. ”

Zhang Ru's heart moved, and he inserted the embroidered spring knife into the scabbard: "You might as well let the kid guess, since the predecessor said that the mastermind behind this scene is a eunuch, then the kid has a goal in his heart." This person should be Wei Xing, the second eunuch of the current celebrant eunuch. ”

"My old man didn't say anything, and you guessed that it was your own business." The old man simply played the scoundrel.

Because of the other party's perverted force value, Zhang Ru didn't leave, nor did he stay, so he had to ask stubbornly: "The seniors stopped me and didn't kill me, there must be something for the kid to do, dare to ask the seniors what they mean?" ”

The old man took out a black pill from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth: "It's really not difficult to talk to smart people, the old man, this apprentice, is bent on saying that he wants to be a soldier and enlist in the army." The old man said that he didn't know how many times, but he just didn't listen, saying that the man was in vain if he didn't make meritorious contributions in the world. It just so happened that someone in the East Factory was looking for a master to kill someone, and the old man asked himself if he was also half a master, thinking that after killing you, he might be able to let the apprentice enter the guard. After I came, I found that it seemed better to keep you, maybe you could still repay my apprentice to the guard station as a general. ”

Of course, Zhang Ru knew that things were not as simple as the old man said, if it was really that simple, with the ability of that strong man, he could become a soldier in any guard station.

The old man does not choose the shortcut that is easy to take, but chooses a path that seems to be more difficult, and the purpose is definitely not simple. In this case, the strong man must stay, but he must not stay by his side.

With a plan in his heart, Zhang Ru said quietly: "The predecessor said it earlier, so as not to let the kid be frightened like this." This is wrapped up in the kid, as long as the noble disciple has that ability, the kid will definitely make him rise in the army. ”

"Oops!" The old man pretended to sigh: "The old man is old, and there were apprentices to serve him before, but now the apprentices are all going to be soldiers, and the old man has nowhere to go." Poor thing! Wretched! ”

The meaning of these words could not be more obvious, Zhang Ru could only smile bitterly: "If the seniors don't mind, it's okay to stay with the kid, it's just, seniors..."

The old man interrupted: "Rory, it's still not a master." If the old man wants to kill you, he will kill you now, why wait until later, and spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ”

The words in his heart let the old man say it, Zhang Ru did not have any unhappiness, who made the family a violent element!

"Ahem, what the predecessors said is very true." Zhang Ru coughed dryly and ordered his subordinates: "Put down your arms, everyone will be brothers in the future, don't hurt the harmony." ”

The words brother and brother are the same, but in the east room, the meaning of the two words is different.

The former means that the person can't believe it for the time being, and he must keep his distance, and at the same time protect himself; The latter means that the person can trust that you can safely hand over your back to him on the battlefield.

The master and apprentice didn't know what was going on, they were in the dark, and they were stupid.

After exchanging names, the strong man named Fan Tong quickly mingled with Jinyiwei's people. Because Jiang Wei is honest and has some similarities with Fan Tong's personality, his favorite thing is to listen to Jiang Wei tell stories about Zhang Ru.

In fact, Zhang Ru is so young, there are not so many stories to tell, and turning over and over is nothing more than the bullshit thing of fighting with Wang Zhi.

The grim-faced old man's name was Fan Wuyi, and according to himself, he had lived for one hundred and fifty years, and he had been living in seclusion on Mount Wutai and rarely descended the mountain.

As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, and after becoming the so-called own person, Zhang Ru left the gambling house with people, and he didn't care about the loss of the gambling house, anyway, Zhang An, a general who guards one side, has money.

At the same time, Zhang Ru's move is also to tell Zhang An, who wants to protect himself, don't think that it's okay to hide, if Lao Tzu wants to pull you into the water, there is a way.

After leaving Xuanfu Town and continuing on the road, the speed was obviously much faster, and Zhang Ru didn't want to make any more trouble, so he asked everyone to speed up.

Fan Wuyi doesn't talk much, and occasionally he speaks with a weird irony, such as feeling that Zhang Ru is timid and afraid, and for example, thinking that Zhang Ru has a backstage relationship with Jinyi Wei Qianhu at such a young age.

Finally arrived in Datong, Datong Mansion, which had already received an urgent report, did not send anyone out to greet him, and the guards guarding the door didn't even want to pay attention to Zhang Ru after seeing him.

At this moment, Zhang Ru felt that something was wrong.

It stands to reason that as the emperor's order to guard the Datong Town, the officials along the way should come out to greet them, but this time, not only was no one greeted them along the way, but no one greeted them even when they arrived in Datong.

After the group entered Datong, they didn't have time to pay attention to the prosperous scene in Datong City, and went straight to the official residence of the former town guard.

When he arrived at the official residence, Zhang Ru was angry, and saw a few buckets of stinky dung at the door of the official residence, and the flies and mosquitoes in May buzzed non-stop. The originally good vermilion lacquer gate made people draw a lot of talismans, and it seems that there are sentences such as so-and-so visiting here.

Seeing that his lord's face was gloomy, Jiang Wei immediately ordered his subordinates to clean up.

"Don't pack up, follow me to Datong Thousand Households." Zhang Ru said angrily.

He came by order, even if the chief soldier Xu Ning did not welcome him, he should not treat himself like this. He is a person of Jinyiwei, and now Datongwei is not welcome, so he has to ask his own people to clarify the situation.

A group of people went to Datong Thousand Households, Jinyi Wei Thousand Households Xiao Qian found two of the best fans in Datong City last night, and was sleeping happily, when he suddenly heard a report from his subordinates, Zhang Ru, the general of the Nine Sides Patrol, came.

Xiao Qian, who didn't turn his head for a while, scolded his subordinates outside the door: "Where is the bullshit Nine Sides Patrol General." ”

The person outside the door whispered: "My lord, you better go out and have a look, the person who came is a young boy, holding a holy decree in his hand, and a group of brocade guards around him!" ”

Young boy?

A person's name drilled into Xiao Qian's mind - Zhang Ru!

"Damn, you almost missed me." Xiao Qian bounced up from the bed with a carp, and complained about the two powder heads who were still sleeping in bed while getting dressed.

After getting dressed, he went out with the embroidered spring knife, and after a quick run on the road, coupled with the internal strength in his body, he appeared in front of Zhang Ru with a sweaty image.

When he saw Zhang Ru, an old man with a cloak was saying something in Zhang Ru's ear, Xiao Gan didn't dare to look at it, and knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The last general, Jinyi Weibei Town, Fusi, Datong Thousand Households, Xiao Gan, has seen General Zhang on the nine sides." ”

The corners of Zhang Ru's mouth hooked up a narrow smile: "Get up!" Seeing that you are sweating profusely, it seems that you are busy! ”

Xiao Qian's old face turned red, and he sneered: "I arrested a few people who did nothing, and I was strictly interrogated overnight, and I asked the general not to be surprised." ”

Zhang Ru said lightly: "They are all Jinyiwei's own brothers, why be so polite." Xiao Qianhu is loyal to the country, and I will report to Beijing one day and ask for credit for Xiao Qianhu. ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "But before that, I don't know anything, the eunuch's mansion has become a smelly latrine, this Datong civil and military officials have already known my itinerary, and today Zhang is here, but no one has seen it, Xiao Qianhu thinks, what is going on?" ”

Xiao Qian really sweated when he heard this, before this, the chief soldier Xu Ning and the prefect Yan Fu had already told him a thousand times not to reveal the reason. But when he really saw Zhang Ru, he didn't dare not say it, and when he was in a dilemma, the pain turned into beads of sweat.

Zhang Ru asked, "But what's the difficulty?" ”

Xiao Qian gritted his teeth and said: "The last general doesn't know, this Datong prefect and the last general have never had much to do, and the chief soldier Xu Ning has no one in his eyes to the extreme, and he never puts my Jinyi Wei in his eyes." On weekdays, they never discuss with the last general when they have something, and the last general rarely goes to them for help. ”

Zhang Ru lifted the sleeves of his robe, walked to Xiao Qian, stared at him seriously, and then stretched out his hand and patted the leather armor on his body: "It doesn't look very hot this day, Xiao Qianhu's body is a little weak, this sweaty appearance almost made Zhang think that Xiao Qianhu had become Xu Ning's lackey." ”

Xiao Qian shook his head again and again: "The last general is a person of Jinyiwei in life, and he is also a ghost of Jinyiwei in death, and he will never betray Jinyiwei." ”

Zhang Ru took the opportunity to hug his shoulder: "What Xiao Qianhu said is really beautiful, alas... What a pity! Pity! ”

Xiao Qian's face was blank: "What is a pity? ”

Zhang Ru said sharply: "It's a pity that Xiao Qianhu forgot what my Jinyiwei does!" Fan Lao, I'm tired! ”

As soon as the words fell, Fan Wuyi floated to Xiao Gan's side like a fallen leaf, he bared his teeth at Xiao Gan, punched Xiao Gan in the abdomen, and then grabbed Xiao Gan's collar and slammed it to the ground.

At this moment, Xiao Qian, who was not weak in kung fu, completely lost his ability to resist.

The boss was beaten, and Xiao Gan's cronies were about to step forward to help, Fan Wuyi said to Xiao Gan's cronies: "Old man Fan Wujiao, whoever dares to be presumptuous, he will be the end!" ”

Seeing the strange figure of this old man, the Jinyi guards of Datong Qianhu, who asked themselves if they were not opponents, stopped and looked at each other one by one, not knowing what to do.
