Chang Sihao said: "I don't know, sir, please give me some advice."

Jiang Wan said: "That's a very quick answer. Is Shao Jian pretending not to know, or has he really never thought about it?" Chang Sihao said with a smile: "I am stupid and all I can think of is that he wants to take me under his wing." In the future, they will be sent to guard border towns and the like. This is the duty that subjects should perform, so there is no harm in it." Jiang Wan said: "Forgive Jiang for his blunt words, Chang Shaojian thinks so, it is really self-promoting. Your Majesty, give me Your conferment without an official position is just an empty honor. You receive a salary but no real power. He also has eunuch supervisors beside General Jiubian. How can I trust you?"

Chang Sihao said: "Chang acts with a clear conscience. Whether he believes it or not is other people's business and has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Wan said: "But what if the emperor wants to use you to deal with the Qin family?" Chang Sihao had already guessed what he would say and said with a smile: "The Qin family is just a wealthy family now, why does the emperor need to deal with him?" "Subjects," Jiang Wan said, "Shao Jian's words are too self-deceiving. Who doesn't know that Qin Juexiang has recently been recruiting troops and trying to expand. We are not blind, and Dongchang and the emperor's people are not blind. In the past, the Qin family shrank, and the imperial court was still Dare to stir up trouble, and now it has expanded and become stronger, the imperial court must change its method of dealing with it, and wooing you to disintegrate it from within is the first step they will take."

Chang Sihao smiled and said: "I have thought about this kind of thing. At worst, I just leave, so what's the difficulty?"

Jiang Wan frowned and said seriously: "Chang Shaojian, Jiang is confiding in you. What Shaojian said is too dishonest."

Chang Sihao looked sideways and said, "Hey, sir, what do you say?"

Jiang Wan was obviously very dissatisfied. He hesitated for a moment, wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, and a slightly meaningful smile appeared on his face: "I hugged the building alone and the tree was in the wind. Many pairs of eyes were watching closely. I sent out one a few days ago. The team went to Hengshan and what they did, I think Shaojian must have known about it. The people from Dongchang rescued the lady, and our people watched from a distance, but they were not idle either."

The image of a frightened horse flying out flashed before Chang Sihao's eyes, and his heart suddenly tightened.

Jiang Wan said: "Guo Shuronghua's actions are not all based on the emperor's instructions. Chang Shaojian thought he was lucky and received frequent favors from the emperor, but in fact he was stepping into the trap and getting deeper and deeper. Now his wife is also in trouble. In the capital, it's not so easy to just walk away." He waited a moment, saw that the other party's eyes were straightened and there was no response, and he smiled again: "Maybe Shaojian understands everything in his heart, and now he is just making excuses. I never thought about leaving,”

Chang Sihao said coldly: "Juehiang and I are brothers who have changed hearts. No matter what happens, we will never do anything to regret him. If one day the emperor forces us to turn against each other, I will definitely stand by his side."

Jiang Wan said: "Under the giant wheel, an ant's arms can't support itself. If things really get to that point, I'm afraid you won't be able to help them either."

Chang Sihao was furious: "Sir, if you want me to do anything, please just tell me."

Jiang Wan smiled lightly: "Actually, it's not that we want Shao Jian to do anything, but that Shao Jian should think about what to do in the face of this situation."

The two looked at each other and looked at their faces. Chang Sihao knew that he must have a deep heart, so he pretended to be humble: "Chang Sihao is in a critical situation, and I really can't think of much. If you have a clear path, sir, I hope you will give me some advice." ,"

Jiang Wandao: "You should never take advice seriously, but there are a few words that we wanted to say as early as the first time we met." At this point, he took half a step forward and leaned over: "Now Your Majesty Foolishness, the corruption of the court, the suffering of the people, and the inability to cure the serious illness of the Ming Dynasty. If you stand on the side of the court, even if you are not harmed by treacherous ministers in the future, you will only become their tool to deal with the heroes in the world. But Young Master Qin only wants to dominate, but he has a childish mentality. The future situation is limited. Shao Jian cares about his family and country. I and Brother Yan are very appreciative of it. How come you come and join hands with us to plan for great things."

"event……"

Jiang Wan's eyes were determined: "Yes, it's a big deal."

Chang Sihao suddenly felt the pressure and retreated.

Jiang Wan followed him and said, "Chang Shaojian is not wrong. We sincerely invite you to join the Juhao Pavilion, raise the flag of rebellion together, and raise the righteous army."

Chang Sihao: "No matter how bad the country is, it can still reorganize its system and reform its laws. How can you say rebellion means rebellion?"

Jiang Wan stopped and laughed: "Who will listen to the reform and who will implement it? Chang Shaojian's words are too childish. The restoration of the rotten house will only last a few more years of wind and rain, and new infrastructure will be built before it becomes powerful. "Suffice it to say, if we want to free the common people from their predicament and bring blessings to all surnames, we must flatten the universe and clean up the universe."

The wind howled, and the snow in the sparse forest moved like smoke.

Chang Sihao hid his collar and narrowed his eyes: "Mr. Jiang, your idea is radical, but very outdated. If you are willing to listen, let's go on a date. I will find Alliance Leader Zheng, and we will sit down and talk. He, ,"

Jiang Wan interrupted: "Are you talking about his sword master's strategy? It's just a scholar's opinion. It's just an arm's length talk. There have been previous failures of his teaming up with Gao Gong. It's already known that it's not feasible. Shao Jian should know that. "Heaven and earth are unkind, and treat all things as mutt dogs." The emperor is unkind, so he treats the people as mutt dogs. The Hundred Swords League is not worth anything in the eyes of the powerful. They are just dogs barking in the eyes of others. They want to To implement one's own ideas, since ancient times, there has been no other way but to shed blood,"

Chang Sihao frowned: "There is blood, the Japanese pirates are at ease in the south, wars on all sides are frequent, the people have shed enough blood, aren't they? Together, you want food and soldiers, the court also needs food and soldiers, isn't that the most painful thing? People, if there is a civil war, the Tatars will definitely take the opportunity to attack, and the Oara, Tubarbarians, and all the Tibetan states will not be idle. When the world is in chaos, what should we do?"

Jiang Wan stepped forward and said hurriedly: "Since ancient times, there has been no chaos and no cure. Now the people are being cut with blunt knives. The blood will always flow out. People will die sooner or later. If a strong man can cut off his wrist and fight hard, there will be a glimmer of hope in the future."

Chang Sihao waved his hand sideways: "Sir, please stop talking. I'm a fool. I don't have a good mind, so I just accept the deadliest truth: war is not a good thing."

Jiang Wan said: "Chang Shaojian has a heart to love the people. How can he be called a 'hunger'? But whether to fight or not is not something that anyone can decide. Shaojian disagrees at this time because the government has not yet decided." The knife is on your head, but among the people in the south, too many people have been forced to the point where they have no way to survive and cannot survive without fighting. If Shao Jian is determined, he can go to the south of the Yangtze River and see with his own eyes, so that he can know what I say. Not false,”

People in Shanxi and Shaanxi are living in dire straits, let alone in the south where the emperor is far away. Chang Sihao knows that what Jiang Wan said is mostly true, but there are too many factors behind one thing. Not all civil and military officials at all levels in the Manchu Dynasty are Fool, there must be a reason for sealing the sea and banning trade. Jiang Wan's hopeless method may not be able to solve these problems.

Jiang Wan stared at him with a good look, as if he had realized something, and said slowly: "Jiang, please let me know. Although our Juhao Pavilion claims to have tens of thousands of disciples, it is just to deceive the court. In fact, it is far more than that." With this number, with a big order from the Pavilion Master, we can mobilize more than 100,000 rebels at any time."

"One hundred thousand,"

Chang Sihao's pupils shrank, and he seemed to instantly see the company camp where Zhong Jin and Wu Enqi had set up: the round white military tents were so tightly scattered that they reached the sky, and the military flags were like a wash... the kind that connected the sky and the earth. It is so shocking that it will never be forgotten again.

At that time, Zhong Jin's camp only had more than 20,000 people, and 100,000 rebel troops were arrayed in front. What would it be like?

Jiang Wan looked at each other blankly: "This matter is not trivial. Chang Shaojian may need some time to think about it, so that's okay."

Chang Sihao saw the arrogance and pride in his expression, and felt disgusted. He suddenly said: "Don't think about it. You said that I don't know the people's sentiments. Do you really understand the emperor's heart? All you know is a man who doesn't love the court." The emperor who loves rare jewelry and who is dumbfounded are just rumors. If you have met Long Qing, you may understand that he is not as bad as you say. On the contrary, he lives a simple and frugal life, is good at using people, and is extremely good at using people. He is not a stupid and incompetent person. With him, the Ming Dynasty will not collapse."

Jiang Wan was stunned: "What did Long Qing say to deceive you to this extent? Think about what he did in the first year after he ascended the throne. In the future, do you want to be like Hai Rui who served Jiajing and look forward to all changes?" In his 'moment', that's really a fool,"

Chang Sihao was very unhappy: "Although Chang is confused, he is not a three-year-old child. He knows whether he has been deceived or not. With all due respect, in my opinion, your pavilion master is a first-class person in the world, but when it comes to doing things, The emperor's ability may not be as good as Long Qing's. The reason why he chose to leave is because he knows himself."

His words were cold and decisive, but as soon as he said those words, there was another strange feeling rising in his heart. It was a kind of uneasiness that was difficult to grasp properly, a kind of expectation that was firmly unwilling to be harvested in the future. Disappointed and confused, it seems that when these words are spoken, it is a confirmation and decision about the direction of fate.

"Self-knowledge..."

Jiang Wan's eyes were blazing, and his teeth were grinding: "This bitch..."

He was just mumbling this in his mouth, but Chang Sihao heard it seriously and was startled. He suddenly understood that the bitch in his mouth was not referring to Zhangsun Xiaochi, but most likely Shui Yanxiang. He immediately sneered in his heart and said: He looked down upon him a lot and said loudly: "If he left just for Miss Shui, then I'm afraid he is really not worthy of being your Pavilion Master. Sir, it's better not to make excuses and blame others."

When Jiang Wan heard this, he was alert, like a rooster with wet feathers, and his arrogance suddenly disappeared. He, Zhu Qing, and Shen Lu were both talented and arrogant people. The reason why he followed his eldest grandson Xiaochi was not just because of his blood, but because of his bloodline. I truly admire this person from the bottom of my heart. With the pavilion master's temperament, if there is anything that can make him give up midway, except that the matter itself is meaningless, it means that he has seen through the ending and knows that everything is just A waste of effort has no chance of success.

Chang Sihao saw the other party's dejected look and couldn't bear it, so he said: "You have been together for many years. The master of the pavilion should have expressed his feelings before leaving."

Jiang Wan shook his head, his eyes empty: "As soon as we heard he said he was leaving that night, we immediately got angry. We all started arguing, but no one listened to what he said. We wouldn't have fallen out at first, but Brother Yan made the move first. I wanted to kill Miss Shui with my hand, but the result... Alas, it's a pity that after many years of management, it's finally time to turn things around and show off our great ambitions. Who would have expected..."

Chang Sihao advised: "Sir, you are also a smart person. Why go to extremes in this matter? In my opinion, Bai Jian..." When Jiang Wan heard the word "Hundred Swords", he suddenly woke up and stretched out his arms. He stopped with his palm: "No need to say it," he looked away, calmed down his mind, and added: "Gentlemen are harmonious but different. We all just go our own way."

Chang Sihao felt a headache, but was unable to convince the other party. He watched him cast aside these words with a sideways look, cupped his hands slightly, and walked through the forest and snow toward the horses in the wasteland.

"gentlemen,"

Jiang Wan stopped and shook his head.

Chang Sihao pondered for a moment and then asked tentatively: "From what Mr. Sir said just now, it seems that he also took action when rescuing his wife in Dongchang. Could it be that he stopped the servant girl who was riding on a frightened horse?" Jiang Wan narrowed her eyes in the snow and wind. "Is this maid very important to Chang Shaojian?" Chang Sihao said, "That's not the case. It's just that this maid is an old member of the Qin Mansion, and my wife is used to her. If she is rescued by your people, what will happen to her?" I hope that Mr. Chang can give it back, and both Chang and my wife will be very grateful."

Jiang Wan was silent for a moment and saw that he didn't mean what he said. As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine. Some of the girls who have been used by her are often more favored than their wives. He snorted a short laugh: "Shao Jian just got tired of talking about state affairs. It turns out that I only care about women in my heart." He raised his head and hissed: "A good man values ​​a maidservant and despises the world. Isn't he really a fool?" He shook his head, shook his clothes to shake the snow, mounted his horse in a flying figure, and raised his whip. go.

Chang Sihao stood stunned in the wind for a long time, thinking about the word "ye" in his words, and sighed slowly.

He sincerely knew that overthinking was useless, so he immediately identified the right direction and headed southeast.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, he met Li Shuangji riding back with an empty horse. He saw Chang Sihao from a distance, shouted loudly, rolled his saddle and fell off the horse, pedaling in the wind and snow. The running general came over, took out a small piece of paper and handed it over, talking about Lord Qi sending troops to contact and other matters. Chang Sihao thought it was Qi Jiguang who had given a reply, so Duoyixue reached out to take it and unfolded it, while Li Shuangji opened the fire fold beside him. , with the screen behind him to illuminate it, he could see that the text of the note only contained eight characters: "Take care, little brother, we will see you again soon." The signature was: Gu Siyi. The characters were pink and were made of nopal.

Li Shuangji was a little strange: "Hey, Miss Siyi told me clearly that her name is Yi Yi, why is there a standing person on the side of her clothes?"

Chang Sihao smiled knowingly, set the note on fire and burned it. He patted the snow on the saddle and said, "Go back." After saying that, he turned over, knocked the stirrup, and galloped forward.
