From then on, Li Xue would come to Zhang Ren's place to practice martial arts with him every day, and from the next day, Liu Erbing also joined.
It's just that Li Xue and Zhang Ren are really practicing martial arts, and Zhang Fu is also practicing well. Only Liu Erbing is basically fishing every day.
At first, Li Xue used real swords to fight Zhang Ren, but after hurting Zhang Ren twice, the sword in Li Xue's hand also turned into a wooden sword.
After being beaten up by Li Xue with a wooden sword, Zhang Ren became more and more angry as he looked at Liu Erbing lying on the table.
I'm practicing martial arts and getting beaten up, but you're fishing and sleeping? Why?
"How comfortable are you, senior brother?" Zhang Ren stabbed Liu Erbing with the wooden knife in his hand and said with a slight dissatisfaction.
Liu Erbing breathed a sigh of relief and stretched a lot, then replied: "It's okay, it's okay. Second Junior Brother, have you finished practicing today?"
Zhang Ren put his hands in front of his chest, crossed his legs and said, "Hey, I'm just politely calling you Senior Brother, but you actually have the nerve to agree. Where's your face? How much do you weigh? You don't mind. Number B?"
Liu Erbing would usually put on a show, but when facing Zhang Ren alone, he didn't care at all.
He waved his hands lazily and said while admiring Li Xue's sword-practicing form: "Second Junior Brother is embarrassed to shout, of course I am embarrassed to agree. Tsk tsk, Junior Sister Li Xue is so beautiful!"
Zhang Ren waved his hand in front of Erbing's face, but still couldn't break his infatuated gaze.
Zhang Ren had no choice but to take his hand back and said: "You are almost drooling. I found that you are really idle these days. Don't you have to be on duty at Jinyiwei? It's been two months, right? You Is it really a waste of time to run to my house every day and not practice martial arts with me?"
Liu Erbing's eyes still did not leave Li Xue's figure. He said, "If Junior Sister Li Xue hadn't been here, do you think I would be willing to come?"
As Liu Erbing spoke, he glanced warily at Zhang Fu in the other direction.
Zhang Ren covered his face helplessly, and could only say earnestly again: "I have told you so many times that it is absolutely impossible for my assistant brother to marry my senior sister. And if you look at senior sister Li Xue, she has nothing but swords in her eyes. If there’s nothing else, there’s no way she’ll fall in love with my assistant brother.”
Liu Erbing shook his head and said, "Who can say anything about feelings? What if? It's been two months, and Junior Sister Li Xue has been here every day. What if she falls in love after a long time?"
Zhang Ren spread his hands and said, "It's not even day yet, how can you be in love?"
Liu Erbing obviously didn't understand Zhang Ren's words for driving too fast, so he could only ask in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Although he didn't understand, Liu Erbing probably understood that nothing good would come out of Zhang Ren's mouth.
Of course it was impossible for Zhang Ren to explain that the two of them were fighting together like this.
At this moment, a figure jumped in from outside the courtyard wall, startling Zhang Ren and Liu Erbing.
The two of them looked intently and saw that the person coming was actually the Man with Thousand Faces.
The Thousand-Faced Man looked around and said, "It's so lively here."
Even though Liu Erbing was quite confident in Jinyiwei on weekdays, every time he saw the Thousand-Faced Man, he would stand at attention unconsciously. For some reason, Liu Erbing felt that the Thousand-Faced Man seemed very dangerous.
Li Xue also frowned. She also didn't like the Thousand-Faced Man. She felt that the Thousand-Faced Man was pretending and deliberately covering up something. Anyway, people who can't be seen through are very unpleasant.
Even though Zhang Fu had spent some time in Jinyiwei, he had never seen a Thousand-Faced Man. In his eyes, what kind of good person could he be who just jumped through the wall without leaving a good door open?
Now he happened to have a knife in his hand. Zhang Fu stood with the knife in front of the Thousand Faces Man and shouted loudly: "Where did the thief come from? How dare you break into a house in broad daylight?"
The Thousand-Faced Man quickly waved his hand and said, "It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
How can Zhang Fu believe this? He wanted to step forward with the knife, but was stopped by Zhang Ren, who had sharp eyes and quick hands.
"It's indeed a misunderstanding." Zhang Ren smiled and introduced directly to Zhang Fu: "Brother Fu, this is Senior Brother Qianmianren of Jinyiwei, who is considered a colleague of mine.
"
After hearing this, Zhang Fu immediately put away the knife in his hand and said with embarrassment: "I was really too rash, I'm sorry. I'm a guest. Come in and have a cup of tea."
The Thousand-Faced Man smiled slightly, "I won't drink the tea anymore. I came here today because the governor asked me to bring a message."
Last time, I brought a sentence. Wu Peng and Ji Gang are still in Zhenfusi Prison. Today, I brought a sentence. God knows what bad news it will be.
However, Zhang Ren still opened his mouth and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Thousand-faced Man also said directly: "His Majesty secretly transferred Mu Ying to Yunnan, and now Mu Ying is in place."
Zhang Ren didn't know Mu Ying, but he knew that Jiang Yu would never let the Thousand Faces Man bring a meaningless word, and there must be deep meaning in this sentence.
Zhang Ren's brain was running rapidly, and he figured out the key in a short time.
Seeing the change in Zhang Ren's expression, the Thousand-faced Man also smiled and nodded, saying, "Junior brother, do you understand?"
Zhang Ren nodded and said, "I understand."
Thousand-faced Man asked again: "Then Junior Brother also knows what to do?"
Zhang Ren nodded again and said: "I understand, I would like to thank Senior Brother Qianmenrenren this time. Please also ask Senior Brother to go back and thank the Governor for me."
"Of course." After the Thousand-Faced Man said, he jumped out of the yard with a clean and neat movement, as if he had never appeared before.
As for Zhang Fu, Liu Erbing and Li Xue in the courtyard, they all looked inquiringly at Zhang Ren.
From beginning to end, none of the three of them understood what the Thousand-Faced Man meant.
But Zhang Ren understood, but he was not prepared to explain to others that there were some things that he had to face, and there was no need to involve others.
Seeing that Zhang Ren didn't explain, Li Xue didn't ask further questions because she only had swords in her eyes.
Liu Erbing also did not ask further questions because he only had Li Xue in his eyes.
Only Zhang Fu kept asking, he was afraid that Zhang Ren would take risks and do something stupid again.
But Zhang Ren just smiled and said nothing no matter how much Zhang Fu asked.
Early the next morning, before the sun had risen, Zhang Ren got up early and packed up because he had important things to do later.
He opened the door gently, exited the room and closed the door gently.
Zhang Ren walked quietly to the front hall, only to find Zhang Fu sitting here with his eyes closed and cross-legged, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Maybe he heard the noise, Zhang Fu opened his eyes, his white eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, looking somewhat scary.
"Brother Fu, are you waiting for me?" Zhang Ren asked in confusion.
Zhang Fu nodded and said, "Yes, I stayed up all night and have been waiting here for Brother Ren. What is the meaning of your conversation with the Thousand-Faced Man? Did you encounter any danger again?"
Zhang Ren shrugged and said, "Brother Fu is overthinking. I just want to go out for a walk."
After sitting cross-legged in the front hall all night, Zhang Fu was also very sore. He stood up and stretched his muscles, and then he said, "Brother Ren, have you forgotten? You are going home to wait for help and cannot leave the house."
Zhang Ren nodded, with an embarrassed smile on his face, and said, "Of course I haven't forgotten it, but it's been two months and I've been feeling depressed staying in the house, so I thought of going out on the road while it was still dark. Take a walk."
Zhang Fu asked expressionlessly: "Brother Ren, do you think I am a three-year-old child? Although I don't know why you want to go out, I know that you will be in danger if you go out. Brother Ren, no matter what today, I won’t even let you out.”
The embarrassment from before was gone, and a smile appeared on Zhang Ren's face, but his legs suddenly exerted force, and he was in front of Zhang Fu in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Fu had always known that Zhang Ren's martial arts was very strong, but he didn't have a clear understanding of how strong it was. Now just looking at Zhang Ren's speed, Zhang Fu knew that he still underestimated his younger brother.
Zhang Ren's speed made Zhang Fu unable to react at all. Zhang Ren stretched out two fingers and quickly touched Zhang Fu's acupuncture points.
Nowadays, Zhang Ren’s acupuncture technique has been applied
Skilled, acupuncture can make Zhang Fu immobile and unable to speak, and at the same time, it does not affect Zhang Fu's vision, hearing and thinking ability.
Zhang Ren smiled bitterly at Zhang Fu and said: "Brother Fu, as long as I don't go out, there will be no danger. But many times, I can't retreat. This is my choice. It's not the danger that chooses me, but my choice." I have taken this road. I don’t know what I will face after I go out, because there are too many people and things that I can’t see clearly. I also know that you and your uncle regard me as your closest relative, so why don’t I do the same? ?So I will walk this road today by myself."
After Zhang Ren finished speaking, he spared Zhang Fu and went straight out of the mansion.
Zhang Fu felt this regret in his heart. He thought he could stop Zhang Ren. If he had known this earlier, he would have shouted to his father to stop Zhang Ren. But now it's too late to say anything, Zhang Fu can't even make a sound of regret.
…
Today's morning court has not yet begun. Apart from the soldiers guarding the palace gate, there are also courtiers waiting for the palace gate to open.
These courtiers gathered together in twos and threes based on their connections, and all they talked about were political affairs.
A figure in the distance is slowly walking towards the entrance of the palace. That figure looks so tall and aloof.
Many courtiers were also curious. People came to attend court. Some came in sedans, some in bullock carts, and some on horseback. Only those who came here did not use their legs.
When the figure came closer, people saw clearly that the person coming was actually Zhang Ren.
At this time, the surrounding ministers were in trouble. Immediately, a courtier jumped in front of Zhang Ren and accused: "Zhang Ren, you should go home and wait for the ministers. Now you have left the government privately without being summoned by His Majesty. This is This is contempt for the imperial power and the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Zhang Ren turned a deaf ear and allowed all kinds of insults, but he continued to move forward. He did not stop until he reached the entrance of the palace and stood in front of Dengwen Drum.
