Tian Kang quietly watched Jiang Shangyan walk around the house like a sleepy beast. After a long time, he said, "Do you want to drink?"

Jiang Shangyan Huoran stopped, turned his head to look at Tian Kang, his eyes were red.

"Drink."

Tian Kang got up, walked to a cabinet on the side, and took out two jars of wine from it, "After you know the news, you will definitely want to drink, so I have prepared it for you, the strongest wine, the burning knife from Da Ming."

Almost snatched the wine jar from Tian Kang's hand, Jiang Shangyan raised his palm like a knife, cut open the upper mud seal, tilted his neck, like a cow drinking water, and drank it with a grunt.

In the room, the smell of wine was overflowing.

Seeing Jiang Shangyan drink like this, Tian Kang's eyebrows jumped, and he quietly hid another jar of wine in his hand, this wine is not those parallel goods on the street, it is a real high-grade Daming burning knife, like Jiang Shangyan to drink, not drunk to get used to.

As Tian Kang expected, when Jiang Shangyan drank a jar of wine to the point and smashed the jar to the ground, the angry general fell to the ground like a paralyzed mud.

Seeing that the body of the big man who fell to the ground was still twitching, although his eyes were closed, tears were oozing from the corners of his eyes, Tian Kang sighed, walked over and bent down to pick up Jiang Shangyan and threw it on the big bed on the side.

"Temperamental, no wonder Your Majesty is obsessed with you."

Tian Kang turned around and walked out of the house, gently closed the door, and walked out, there were still guys who were moving outside, and the war horse left by Jiang Shangyan, he had to deal with it. There are many soldiers coming and going here, and Jiang Shangyan is a celebrity, maybe someone will recognize Jiang Shangyan's war horse and cause trouble.

When Jiang Shangyan woke up, it was already the middle of the moon.

He opened his eyes, his mind was still a little foggy, but he was not worried about his safety, because he was drunk in front of Tian Kang. Although the burning knife is strong, there will be no sequelae when you are drunk, and your head will not hurt when you wake up.

Sitting up, the room was by the window, nodding the candle flame, under the candle flame, Tian Kang was sitting there, pouring himself a drink.

Jiang Shangyan walked over, sat opposite Tian Kang, reached out and took the wine glass in front of Tian Kang, and drank it all.

"Still drinking?" Tian Kang asked in surprise.

"It's boring!" Jiang Shangyan threw the wine glass back, Tian Kang drank not a burning knife, but a kind of fruit wine, which was produced in Changyang County, Daming, and Jiang Shangyan had also drunk it before.

"Of course I didn't have the strength to burn the knife, I didn't dare to drink that thing, I was drunk, and I made a mistake." Tian Kang shook his head, lifted the flask and poured himself another glass, and tasted it slowly.

Jiang Shangyan didn't speak, just stretched out his hand and pushed open the window, the moon outside the window was bright, the stars were shining, he looked at the stars in the sky in a daze, and said that all the generals were the stars in the sky, and the old handsome was naturally the same, but I didn't know that the old handsome was the star in the sky, and I didn't know if the old handsome who returned to the sky was staring at himself somewhere in the starry sky now.

"We don't know the exact situation. I only know that after Min Ruoying's envoy and Luo Liang met Lao Shuai, the two sides seemed to talk for a long time, and then Lao Shuai left very calmly." Tian Kangdao.

"Cheng Shuai is naturally calm, he goes to Beijing to die. It's just that I didn't expect that Min Ruoying wouldn't even let him enter the capital." Jiang Shangyan clenched his fists tightly: "This unplanted thing, even if he wants to fabricate charges and frame Lao Shuai, I will look down on him. But after all, he can only do these ghostly things."

"That's your king." Tian Kang said with a smile.

Jiang Shangyan retracted his gaze and looked at Tian Kang: "When I was driven away by Lao Shuai, I said to myself in my heart, Lao Shuai lives for a day, and I will fight for Da Chu for a day, if Lao Shuai goes, I will have no reason to stay here. Since he doesn't want to stay here, he's no longer my king."

"I'm sure that's not what the old man said to you." Tian Kangdao.

Jiang Shangyan lowered his head, and said after a while: "The old man asked me to fight for the people of Chu, but I found that I couldn't change anything at all, no matter how many battles I won, I couldn't change the days when the people were getting worse and worse, I didn't know before, and I thought that as long as I fought bravely, the people's days would get better and better, but what I saw in the past half a month was not like this at all. The life of the people is getting worse and worse, and it is getting more and more difficult, Jinghu County is still good, and there are many places where Jinghu County is not as good. Tian Kang, Jinghu County is the front line, and it has been fighting, why are those big rear areas worse and more difficult than Jinghu?"

"Naturally, it's a problem with the Chu court." Tian Kang said simply.

"Yes, it's a matter of the imperial court." Jiang Shangyan was stunned, "What can I change?" I'm just a martial artist."

"If you leave here, where are you going?"

"I don't know, I just want to rest for a while, in the future, maybe I will go back to Daming, now I think about it, only Daming can make me feel more comfortable." Egami Yan said." Tian Kang, do you say that if I go back to Daming now, will Your Majesty blame me for my previous departure? Will he turn me away?"

Tian Kang laughed: "If Your Majesty will blame you, I won't let us keep an eye on your whereabouts, brother, I won't hide it from you, every once in a while, a file about your behavior will appear on Your Majesty's desk, and Your Majesty has never given up on you."

"That's fine, I'll go back to Daming, Chu State, there is nothing worth my nostalgia for."

Tian Kang poured himself another glass of wine and said quietly, "Are you ready to completely give up someone like Wei Li?"

Jiang Shangyan's eyes showed a look of pain: "I can't do anything for them."

"Of course you can do something for them." Tian Kang stared at Jiang Shangyan: "Jiang Shangyan, what do you think of the common people of Daming?"

"It's like they're living in a paradise." Jiang Shangyan sighed lightly: "If you let Wei Li know how the people of the Ming Dynasty live, you will definitely be envious to death!"

"Don't you want the people of Dachu to live the same life as the people of Daming?" Tian Kang asked lightly.

Jiang Shangyan glanced at Tian Kang, "Yes, of course I want to, but I can't wave a knife at my former colleagues and comrades. Even if I return to Daming this time, and His Majesty reactivates me, I will ask to go to Zhaoguan."

"Why do you have to swing a knife?" Tian Kang laughed.

"What His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants is to dominate the world, I know this, the Qin State is about to be destroyed, presumably His Majesty's next target is the Chu State, is there any other way than to meet each other?" Jiang Shangyan asked rhetorically: "Chu is my hometown, and Daming is my second hometown, so I can only hide to the side."

"You're wrong." Tian Kang said: "What the old man said to you when he left, I want you to be loyal to the people and not to the emperor, you really haven't realized the gap here, the old man has realized something, he has actually hinted at you. Jiang Shangyan, I'll tell you the truth, the enemy that our Ming Dynasty has seen in his eyes from beginning to end is only one Qi State. The conquest of Chu is certainly inevitable, but it doesn't have to be a knife or a gun. Of course, when the end of the picture is exhausted, there will definitely be a battle to be fought, but I think it will be limited to the area around Shangjing."

Jiang Shangyan looked at Tian Kang blankly.

Tian Kang spread his hands: "Don't look at me like this, I don't know much, what I can know is that the Ming Dynasty began to lay out the Chu State a few years ago. Unlike the strategy towards the Qin state, the Ming Dynasty's policy towards the Great Chu would be a kind of peaceful evolution to the maximum."

"In that case, does it matter if I stay there?" Jiang Shang Yan Leng was stunned for a long time and asked.

"Of course it matters. The 10,000 cavalry under your command, we don't want to fall into the hands of Bian Wushuang." Tian Kang said: "If you leave, Bian Wushuang, as a commander, can naturally swallow up your cavalry in a dignified manner. Your influence in Jinghu is extremely great, and your presence is very important to the Ming Dynasty."

"Is this what Your Majesty meant?" Jiang Shangyan narrowed his eyes: "You have already arrived here, and Your Majesty also knows that Cheng Shuai will die, why doesn't Your Majesty stop it?"

"Do you think with Cheng Shuai's temper, can anyone stop him?" Tian Kang asked.

Jiang Shangyan fell silent.

"Your Majesty hopes that you can still stay in Jinghu County and fight against the Qi State with these 10,000 cavalry." Tian Kangdao." Until the right time comes, these troops in Jinghu will all agree with the annexation of Chu by the Ming Dynasty."

Jiang Shanyan looked at Tian Kang with some incredulity: "Jinghu County is Bian Wushuang's master."

"Is Bian Wushuang a loyal minister?"

Jiang Shangyan shook her head.

"Yes, since he is not loyal to Qin, he will naturally not be loyal to Chu, if that day comes, when he sees that Chu State cannot guarantee his interests, what do you think he will do?"

"He can shoot them all!" Jiang Shangyan blurted out, and as soon as the words came out, he reacted.

Tian Kang smiled: "Yes, it is also a choice for him to vote, so your existence has the greatest value."

"And Ning Zhiwen too?" Jiang Shangyan suddenly asked rhetorically.

Tian Kang laughed. This doesn't have to be hidden from you, it's true, Ning Zhiwen is a person who is on the surface, and everyone knows that he has an inseparable relationship with Da Ming."

"Am I the one in the shadows?"

"You don't have to think so, before this, Da Ming doesn't need you to do anything, you just need to follow Bian Wushuang's orders and do your best to fight against the Qi State as before. In fact, you have always had the right to choose, but Your Majesty firmly believes that you will choose Da Ming in the end."

"How many years?" Jiang Shangyan asked suddenly.

"Five years at most!" Tian Kang replied categorically.

Jiang Shangyan took a deep breath, "Has Dashuai's family arrived in Daming?"

"It's time to come. His Majesty arranged them in the city of Yuejing. Everything has been arranged, this stubborn old man, at the end of the day, finally thought about it for his family." Tian Kangdao.

Jiang Shangyan didn't speak again, stood up, and walked straight out, and after a while, Tian Kang heard the sound of the horse's hooves leaving, and he laughed slightly.

Of course, Bian Wushuang must have all the constraints to make it happen. Da Ming would lay a net around him, and at the last moment, even if Bian Wushuang wanted to do something, this net would make him unable to move.
