"Today is the real face of Chang Thorn Shi." Shi Manna said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Chang Thorn Shi is younger than Shi imagined. ”

Chang Suining smiled and said politely: "General Shi is also more decisive than I imagined. ”

This did not deny that she had heard about Shi Man's temperament and style before, and even the old lady was kidnapped, so there was nothing to deny.

Shi Man lowered his eyes for a moment, and then said: "There are two generals, Chang Thorn Shi and Cui Dadudu, who are here, and Shi will inevitably lose this time, and he will lose convincingly." ”

Chang Suining: "General Shi reined in the precipice, and together with the Xuance Army, he pacified the rebellion in Kangding Mountain and expelled the Yan Yan, not to mention defeat, it was a big victory." ”

Shi Man was stunned for a moment, and smiled ashamedly: "In the final analysis, I have to thank Chang Thorn Shi for giving me a chance to live." ”

Chang Sui Ning only said: "It's just a coincidence, General Shi doesn't have to say thank you." ”

"Even if it's a chance, it's also from the hands of Chang Thorn Shi." Shi Man insisted: "As a result, it is true that we were able to survive because of this, and we should be grateful." ”

Chang Sui Ning no longer "pushes" this gratitude.

Whether she is worthy of thanks, I believe that Shi Man has her own judgment in her heart, and the other party took the initiative to invite her to come today, obviously not just for the sake of chatting.

Gratitude and gratitude can quickly close the relationship between two strangers, it doesn't matter whether you thank you or not, the important thing is that it is a good communication bridge.

Besides, even if Shi Man hadn't invited him today, Chang Sui Ning had planned to find a chance to meet him.

Seeing Shi Man like this, the generals also thanked Chang Suining.

In this way, the feeling of alienation between the two sides has faded a lot.

Chang Suining asked at the right time: "I don't know what General Shi's plans are going to do in the future?" ”

This may sound like idle talk, but it is the beginning of the topic.

Chang Suining interrogated, and his eyes fell on Shi Man's severed hand for a moment.

Shi Man also looked at his hand and said: "Even if the Son of Heaven is willing to reuse Shi, Shi will not be able to do it, and when the will is issued, he can only thank and refuse it on the grounds of disability......

In short, he could no longer remain in the army.

It is an indisputable fact that he and Kangdingshan started together, even if they turn back in time and offset their merits, the thorn in the emperor's heart will not really be removed...... If he continues to serve in the army, it is not difficult to predict what awaits him when the new Jiedu envoy takes office.

Therefore, his loss of this hand is both an accident and an inevitability.

If it really goes against the end, that's it. Now that I've turned back, I have to plan for the future.

Continuing to talk about the future, Shi Man's voice was low: "After that, I may return to the countryside with my mother and children to live in a chat." ”

As he spoke, there was a blank look in his eyes.

Chang Suining looked at him in his eyes and said, "General Shi has been based in the land of Kanto for many years, and the family members in the house are afraid that it will not be easy to adapt to the pastoral life. At present, the disasters of war are everywhere, the world is declining, and there is no lack of evil thoughts in the hearts of the people, and General Shi has been marching for many years, and there should be no shortage of old enemies. ”

Shi Man had obviously thought of this as well, and was silent at the moment.

Chang Sui Ning said: "If General Shi wants to really avoid trouble, unless he hides in the mountains and forests, he takes his family to escape the world - just like this, is General Shi willing?" ”

Willingly?

The answer is obvious.

A person who has been fighting from the bottom for many years to climb to this position may not have the ambition to serve the country, but he must have his own ambitions.

He was neither reconciled nor at ease to let him give up everything that he had not been able to fight for, and fall back into the mud to face a situation even worse than the beginning of his life.

Breaking his wrist and begging to retreat was because he had to, not because he was willing to do so.

These days, he has repeatedly pondered whether there is any other way out, but it is always difficult to find an answer.

Several times when he was at a loss, he thought of the person who was playing chess in this battle—he didn't dare to easily conclude that the other party would definitely be willing to help him, but if he could talk to him, the other party's words would definitely be worth listening to.

At this time, Shi Man finally spoke to Chang Suining: "Shi is unwilling, but there is no other way. I don't know if the history of stabbing is high? ”

Chang Suining looked at the person in front of him who was seriously seeking advice.

As far as she knows, Shi Man is not the same kind of person as Kangding Mountain, although he has his own ambitions, but he does not have the ambition to be the lord of the world like Kangding Mountain.

His nature may not be called benevolent, nor may he be very upright, and when faced with the bundle of interests, he will choose to go with the flow instead of sticking to his heart - such people do not have much of their own intentions, or in other words, their original intentions are survival and profit, which is also a portrayal of most military soldiers nowadays.

They come from humble backgrounds, most of them are uneducated, and all their consciousness and ambitions are randomly polished by the surrounding environment.

Chang Sui Ning is completely able to understand this kind of common human nature, and for her, if such people have the ability, as long as they are not heinous, they will have room for use.

"What does General Shi think, how is Kang Cong?" Chang Suining opened his mouth, but he asked first.

"So strong, stubborn, brave and strategic......" Shi Man thought of the situation when the other party killed his father that day, and reluctantly added: "But it does have some courage." ”

"But he is the biggest contributor to the pacification of the Kangding Mountain Rebellion, he killed Kangding Mountain with his own hands, this righteous act of destroying relatives is exactly the political direction that the imperial court needs at the moment."

Chang Sui Ning said: "And as General Shi said, he doesn't have too many outstanding features, and he doesn't have any prestige in the army - because of this, the court will not hesitate to give him a certain degree of 'love'." ”

"And because he has nothing, he is helpless at the moment, only a lot more than General Zhishi."

Looking at the girl's calm eyes, Shi was full of thoughts.

At the same time, in another tent, Kang Congzheng asked with anxiety: "...... Ani, do you really want to follow that Chang Thorn Shi to Jiangdu? ”

Kang Zhi rolled her eyes: "Nonsense, I'm going to leave with Master Assassin Shi tomorrow." ”

Kang Zhi said, turned her head and asked Yueshi beside her, letting Yueshi make a choice: "Does A-Niang want to follow Brother A-Niang, or follow me?" ”

Yue's is a little at a loss, everyone is divided into children, how can this be divided?

It was difficult to choose, so she could only say, "Ani, you are in charge...... A-Niang listens to you. ”

"Then A-Niang should stay and guard A-brother." Kang Zhi said simply: "It's a long way to Jiangdu, so don't toss it." ”

"Why do you have to separate?" Kang Cong twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Ani, isn't it good for you and me to stay with A-Niang?" ”

"Of course not!" Kang Zhi also raised her eyebrows: "You just want me to stay and help you, but why should I give up the opportunity I won so hard for the sake of your own future?" ”

Kang Cong: "But ......"

"Nothing!" Kang Zhi said: "In this world, two eggs are put in the same basket, and they will all be broken one day if they can't be guaranteed!" It's better for you and me to work hard and make a name for ourselves, big and small, and once something happens, we can still take care of each other! ”

"But ......"

Kang Zhi was annoyed: "What the hell are you!" ”

Kang Cong's face parted, and he said in a muffled voice: "I'm alone, I'm afraid of ......"

Let him go directly to the battlefield, he is not afraid, but once he receives the official position, in this arrogant territory, with the notoriety of killing his father that everyone knows, how will he gain a foothold?

Kang Zhi snorted: "It's right to be afraid, you can grow brains only if you are afraid." ”

Kang Cong looked at her: "You're not afraid that my brain won't grow, and my head will be gone first!" ”

"Look at your point." Kang Zhi rolled her eyes again before she said, "Don't worry, Lord Thorn Shi said that someone may be able to stay and help you." ”

Kang Cong almost looked forward to it solemnly: "Who?" ”

A cool breeze of early spring entered the tent.

Shi Man's expression was equally solemn: "The meaning of often stabbing history...... Is it to let Shi stay and assist Kang Cong? ”

Chang Suining nodded: "Kang Cong is in need of someone to help him, and General Shi has experience and brains, and has something in common with his situation, if he can help him gain a firm foothold in the Kanto, he can be interdependent with him." ”

At the end, Chang Suining glanced at the generals who were full of Shi: "After that, General Shi's former forces will be suppressed and split, but they will always return to the army, and with General Shi on Kang Cong's side, he can still take care of one or two." ”

Her words were subtle, but that was exactly what Ishiman wanted to keep.

Although Shi Man dislikes Kang Cong, after thinking about it repeatedly, it is undeniable that Kang Cong is almost the safest choice for him to stay in Kanto.

But he still has some concerns: "...... But in this way, will it be jealous of the Son of Heaven? ”

"Absolutely." Chang Suining replied without hesitation.

Shi Man was stunned.

Chang Suining looked at him and said: "But in such a situation, the Son of Heaven still needs to balance the forces in the Kwantung region, and he needs to use Kang Cong to warn everyone, as long as you and Kang Cong are in peace, only make a posture of mutual support, and do not show dissent, and deal with it carefully, at least for three or five years, there will be no murder." ”

Three or five years......

Shi Man's eyes moved slightly, under such turmoil, after three or five years, who knows what the situation will be?

Three or five years is enough time for him to maintain his strength and wait and see the future.

Seeing his expression, Chang Suining finally said: "The gentleman hides the weapon in his body, and he will move when the time comes." If there is a way in the world, you will see it, and if there is no way, you will hide it - General Shi may wish to hide his weapons and wait. ”

Shi Man's eyes were completely blank, and he got up and saluted Chang Suining: "Thank you Chang Thorn Shi for your advice, what Thorn Shi said today, I must keep it in mind!" ”

As he spoke, his figure was a little lower, and he said: "If you have a drive to stab Shi in the future, I hope you must order Shi!" ”

Through this incident, he learned a truth - for people like them, who are not enough to do things alone, choice is more important than everything.

If he can follow the real "noble", in this troubled era, he may not have the day to make a comeback.

Until then, he has to learn to wait for the right time, endure the disgust, and stabilize Nakang Bazi first.

Kang Bazi, who was disgusted by Shi Man, treated Shi Man with no dislike, but he was afraid.

In this way, the two people, both who were reluctant but forced to come together, had an in-depth conversation on this night.

Turning back from Shi Man, Kang Cong's mood was extremely complicated, that was the person who used to be a brother and brother to his father, and now he was going to do something for him?

"What's so terrible about brother? It is he who needs to cling to his brother, and the brother needs to show the demeanor of the Lord in the future. Kang Zhi'er said: "But don't be harsh, you should ask for advice when you should ask, and there is no harm in learning more." ”

"In addition, there are two things that I want my brother to keep in mind, and to recite them in my heart at least three times a day—"

Before parting, Kang Cong also listened carefully to his sister's words.

"First, remember who you are, put your ass in jail, don't just grow wings, just think about everything, and make your old self-righteous mistakes!"

At this point, she will ask A-Niang to help her keep an eye on it.

Kang Cong responded weakly: "I know ......"

Whose other person could it be? The female rakshasa's.

"Second." Kang Zhi said with a straight face: "General Shi and Old Madam Shi are to be polite, but Shi Wen's idiot, I will never allow you to give her half a good face." ”

At this point, she will also let A-Niang keep an eye on it!

Kang Cong continued to respond weakly: "...... Got it. ”

Although it was getting late at this moment, but before leaving, Chang Suining's tent was crowded with many people, and there were also outside the tent.

Cui Jing's strategists, and the generals who have dealt with Chang Suining over time, almost all came.

Mr. Jiao even took out a few volumes of the art of war in his private collection and gave them to Chang Suining as a parting gift.

As soon as this gift came out, those generals suddenly felt that Mr. Jiao was not kind, damn, everyone came together, why was he the only one who secretly prepared a gift without saying a word!

It's a pity that they are empty-handed, and they can't temporarily find anything decent in the barracks, so they can only put all their hearts on the strength of their fists-

"This time, I have the grace of Chang Assassin Shi to help each other, and the Xuance army must remember it!"

They don't think the word "en" is heavy.

The victory was so beautiful and easy, and each of them was rewarded, which was a real benefit.

But what is really priceless is Chang Suining's timely intelligence and strategy, which saved them from fighting the rebels head-on, otherwise, they would not be able to stand here so completely at this moment.

"When I return to Beijing one day, Chang Assassin Shi will definitely go to our Xuance Mansion to sit down!"

"In the future, if there is a place where we need help, what we can do, we will never say anything!"

The outspoken general pulled his throat and said: "These are all heartfelt words, but not for the sake of the face of the Grand Governor!" ”

Friendly laughter and echoing sounded in the tent.

Chang Suining couldn't help but smile and nodded.

Yes, she could feel that the eyes of these people in front of her were completely different from when she came.

Most of the previous attention to her was inseparable from Cui Jing's past marriage proposal, but now those eyes on her are only because she is Chang Suining.

To put it in layman's terms, the relationship between Chang Suining and them has largely achieved "de-jing".

But Chang Suining knew that she could get so much trust and respect in such a short period of time precisely because of Cui Jing's "intentionality".

He had put her in front of her from the beginning, often choosing to retreat behind her, and even if he was the one who went into battle, he would subtly exaggerate her merits, propelling her to the forefront, and making her stand out in his army.

The prestige in the army is like a sharp sword, not to mention that this is the Xuan Ce Army.

And Chang Suining mentioned this matter to Cui Jing, Cui Jing would only say that she needed it more, all of this was hers.

He said, "How can a defender have no sword in his hand?" ”

He also said: "Your Highness should hold the sharpest sword in the world and cut the way for the common people." ”

At this moment, the moonlight was clear, and Chang Sui Ning Wangyue smiled: "Thank you very much, swordsmith." ”

"The swordsmith is His Highness." Cui Jing said: "I'm just a charcoal fire in the furnace." ”

Chang Suining: "Then why don't you call you Cui Yitan?" ”

Cui Jing smiled slightly: "...... Good name. ”

The two of them standing side by side under the moon glanced at each other, and both smiled.

After talking about the current business, and the general plan of the two later, Cui Jing stared at the moon and said tentatively: "The moon tonight seems to be brighter than last night's. ”

"Yes." Chang Suining seemed to think for a while, and said with a little regret: "Ah, I forgot what the moon looked like last night." ”
