Hello Chang’an

This question made Kang Zhi feel that her innermost intentions seemed to have been seen through at a glance.

Her expression was uncomfortable for a moment, but soon turned into frankness and determination: "Brother and I are notorious for killing our father, and in these troubled times, we have no power to protect ourselves... I want to find a way for myself, my mother and brother, Get a place to stay!”

Chang Suining: "So you came to thank me?"

"No!" Kang Zhi hurriedly said: "Ani is truly grateful to the Governor Chang! She has admired the Governor Chang for a long time. Even if there is no such thing, Ani is willing to lead the Governor Chang's horse and follow him around!"

Chang Sui Ning still did not comment, but reminded: "You should not lack places to go."

Facing Kang Zhi's puzzled eyes, Chang Suining patiently analyzed and told: "Kang Cong killed his father, which was a crime in the Kang family, but it was a great contribution to the country, and it was a great contribution to the righteousness of annihilating relatives. Governor Cui will report the matter to the truth. , and the imperial court is happy to see this, and will definitely praise your brother at that time. Due to political needs, in all likelihood, he will be given a military officer position to show the world - "

After all, Kang Zhi was not involved in political affairs. When she suddenly heard this, she reacted in surprise for a moment.

"I never thought of it before, but it's not too late to know now." Chang Sui Ning said: "This is also an opportunity. If Kang Cong grasps it properly, it may not be impossible to stand out in these troubled times, and you can also use this to establish your own business."

Seeing Kang Zhi's eyes changing, Chang Sui Ning said, "You can go back and discuss this matter with your mother and brother, and make plans in advance."

Kang Zhi came back to her senses and said: "But that was the award given to brother by the court, not to me!"

She quickly accepted this knowledge and said firmly: "Brother is not better than me. If I were to count on him, I would not even be able to sleep well. He receives his reward and becomes his official, but I I still want to build a world on my own!”

She no longer wants to look up to others like she did before, nor does she want to see those who are inferior to her stepping on her head. Others can't do it, and neither can her brother!

There is a hint of unruliness in the girl's deep and determined eyes.

But those unruly eyes looked at Chang Sui Ning with rare respect and respect: "Ani knows that you are the only one willing to use female soldiers here!"

She recommended herself: "Ani has been learning kung fu since she was a child. She is good at using whips and riding and shooting. I hunted all the winter fur coats for my mother and brother at home! I promise that I will never disgrace the name of Chang Jishi!"

"What you said was all about your own selfishness and desires. It shows that you have a sharp and strong temperament, and you didn't feel any sorrow after helping your brother kill your father." Chang Sui Ning's tone showed no likes and dislikes, and asked quietly: "Why do you think, Do I dare to keep such a person by my side?"

Kang Zhi's face was full of expectation, and she was obviously a little uneasy.

In a panic, she blurted out: "Kang Dingshan is not worthy of being a father. He is unfaithful and unkind. I have never truly convinced him! If I pretend to be sad, I will be deceiving and disrespecting you!"

"But Ani treats you differently. Ani has admired you for a long time. Even if you take advantage of her this time, she only has gratitude and admiration!"

She seemed a little confused about how to prove herself, so she could only raise her hand a little awkwardly but decisively and swear: "Ani can swear that I will never betray Governor Chang!"

She was so anxious that her eyes were a little red, and then she suddenly thought of something, and said: "And since you spared my brother and I, in your eyes... Ani is not that heinous person who deserves to die, right?"

She had been paying attention and waiting for the reaction of the girl sitting there.

At this moment, the girl who had always been indifferent suddenly showed a smile: "I was discovered by you."

Chang Suining nodded and praised: "Although you are reckless, you are also very smart."

After Kang Zhi was stunned for a moment, she suddenly became happy: "Ani knew...you are definitely not the kind of worldly and superficial person!"

She could call herself a father-killer and not care about the eyes and judgments of the world, but at that moment, when faced with the questioning of her character and loyalty by Governor Chang, she still panicked.

At this moment, she realized that Chang Sui Ning was just testing, and Kang Zhi felt extremely happy in her heart. She also had an indescribable heart-warming feeling, and even tears flashed in the corners of her eyes.

In sight, the girl sitting behind the desk said slowly to her: "But you must know that the battlefield has never been a place for us to stay. On the contrary, this is a place for everyone in the world to find a place to stay. You can get Yes, it may be success or fame, or it may be shrouded in horse leather. Is this really what you want?”

"Yes!" Kang Zhi said without hesitation: "The place where Ani can go willingly is Ani's safe place!"

The tears in Kang Zhi's eyes were inexplicably thicker, but her eyes were bright and powerful.

The Chang Governor in front of her was more worthy of following than she imagined.

Although this was not a battlefield, the girl of similar age had no sword or armor on her body, but it clearly gave her a feeling of being truly powerful.

The other party never used secular terms to judge her right or wrong, good or evil. Her aura was like water, tolerant and broad, and flowing freely. During the rush, there seemed to be a majestic "Qi of cutting off the road".

This aura of cutting down the road was something Kang Zhi had never seen in other generals.

At this moment, Kang Zhi seemed to be attracted by some kind of powerful call. She felt her insides boiling and stirring for no reason. There was a voice in her head that clearly told her that she had made the right choice, and she couldn't be more right!

If before coming here, she did have the intention to seek asylum and realize her ideal value, then now she is filled with heartfelt admiration and following -

Kang Zhi suddenly knelt down, paused and said, "Sir, please let Ani be your knife!"

"Ani will be a very useful knife, and she will never disappoint you! And she will never use the blade to show you!"

Chang Sui Ning smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's give it a try."

Kang Zhi raised her head and almost cried with joy.

The reason Chang Sui Ning was willing to give it a try was not only because he truly admired this little girl, but also for a very obscure reason.

For a moment, she vaguely saw the little figure of an old friend in this little girl - unwilling to live under someone inferior to herself, eager to have the ability to protect her family...

That old friend's name is Li Shang.

…

Kang Zhi wiped several tears on her way back.

She didn't cry when she was bullied, and she didn't cry when she helped her brother kill her father. Now that she has recognized her master and has a destination, she bursts into tears for no reason.

Yuezhi was startled: "Ani, she is often assassinated..."

Kang Zhi choked and interrupted her: "Auntie, Governor Chang has accepted me!"

Kang Cong stood up from behind the screen and walked out quickly: "...Ani, do you really want to stay?!"

In order to facilitate supervision, the three of them were thrown into the same tent, separated by a simple screen.

"Ani, you won't sell me to her, right?" Kang Cong didn't expect Chang Sui Ning to be really willing to accept his sister, and he was anxious and scared at the moment.

"How many copper coins is my brother worth?" Kang Zhi said, paused, and then changed her words: "Maybe it's really worth a few coins... The governor just calculated it for me, and said that my brother will most likely do it. Official."

"Calculation...?" Kang Cong's face was confused. How did he calculate it? Is Chang Sui Ning a fortune teller?

Kang Zhi lowered her voice and repeated what Chang Suining said.

Kang Cong was stunned for a moment.

"But brother, remember, you alone cannot stand firm -" Kang Zhi said first: "No matter what official position you can get on the surface, you will always stand with the governor in private, do you understand? ?”

Kang Cong: “…”

Even before he became an official, he was already appointed to be Chang Sui Ning's minion?

He couldn't help but ask his sister: "Is this how she threatened you?"

Kang Zhi slapped her brother on the head and woke him up as usual: "What threat? Please wake up, the governor didn't take a fancy to you at all, and didn't even say a word! You are just a teaser that I forced on you. That’s all! Whether you can get through it or not depends on whether you have the ability in the future!”

Kang Cong's expression was complicated and bitter, so he was actually a partner that he couldn't give away?

He couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "Ani, do we have to rush like this?" "What do you know." Under the oil lamp, Kang Zhi's eyes were bright: "I, Kang Zhi, will never make a mistake when choosing a master."

…

Mrs. Shi, who was being looked after alone, woke up from a comatose night with pain all over her body, as if she was falling apart, and she kept saying "ouch".

Shepherd's Purse got Chang Suining's orders and came to deliver breakfast in person.

Mrs. Shi took one look at the plain porridge and vegetables, and curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "Just give me these? How about feeding the sheep?"

Shepherd's Purse smiled heartily: "Are you thinking differently? In our military camp, sheep are only meant to be eaten. How can we prepare porridge for them?"

Mrs. Shi's face hardened, and she immediately snorted: "Who are you trying to scare? I'm not afraid of you, old woman. You have to count on me."

Although she was picky with her mouth, she was so hungry that she ate all the food in the end.

On the one hand, she has a big appetite, but on the other hand, people who have been used to hardship in the past will never waste food, regardless of whether it tastes good or not.

Shepherd's Purse was waiting aside. When Mrs. Shi put down the dishes, she immediately stepped forward to clean them up and asked in a casual tone: "Old Madam, you must be sixty this year, right?"

Mrs. Shi wiped her mouth with a handkerchief: "I am already sixty-eight this year..."

Shepherd's Purse looked surprised: "I really can't tell. You look young, and you look like a blessed person."

Mrs. Shi's mouth moved slightly, and she was a little pleased: "It's nothing else. I just raised a promising and filial son."

She was always a talkative person. Now that she had eaten a full meal, she felt a little more at ease. She looked at the shepherd's purse and asked casually: "Are you from the south?"

"Yes, I'm from Hezhou."

"Where is Hezhou?"

Shepherd's Purse put away the bowls and chopsticks, turned around and smiled: "Over there on Huainan Road!"

This simple smile made Mrs. Shi feel a little warm, and she subconsciously asked: "Are you married?"

"It's done, it's done!"

"It's broken up?" Mrs. Shi asked in surprise: "Why is it broken up? He doesn't agree with you entering the military camp?"

"No, he doesn't care about his family and is looking for a girlfriend behind my back."

Mrs. Shi suddenly became energetic, said "tsk", and patted her leg: "Look..."

Shepherd's purse sighed and tried to leave with the dishes, but Mrs. Shi grabbed her arm and pulled her to sit down by the couch.

Mrs. Shi patted shepherd's purse's hand sympathetically: "You are so miserable... Come and talk to me!"

I think back then, when her son had not yet made a fortune, she was the most well-informed person in Shiliba Village.

The year after her husband died was the most difficult year for her, but it did not stop her from complaining about the hardships of life at the village entrance and the National People's Congress with her rice bowl in her hands and a basket behind her back, with her son in the basket.

Shepherd's Purse chatted with Mrs. Shi for a long time.

After hearing about shepherd's purse's experience, Mrs. Shi's face became filled with more love and appreciation: "My aunt likes you for being able to take things up and put them down. You don't rely on men and rely on your own temperament!"

Shepherd's Purse took advantage of the situation and said: "I also heard some things about your family. It was not easy for you when you were young..."

"Yes." Mrs. Shi sighed: "Fortunately, I got through it."

The shortcomings of parents can always quickly shorten the distance between people. Mrs. Shi sighed and said: "After getting through it, I thought I would have a few more years to live a peaceful life, but who knew that my son would be on the pirate ship of rebellion?" …”

"This is such a bad thing. At first, I refused to agree to it."

"But Gou'er said that there are things he can't help himself with. He and Kangding Mountain have long been unclear and inseparable. If he refuses, he may be in trouble. He can only wait and see..."

"That Kangdingshan was ambitious and ruthless, and he was very harmful!" When Mrs. Shi said this, she was very sad: "His death at the hands of his son this time is probably retribution."

Shepherd's purse occasionally echoed.

Until Mrs. Shi couldn't help but miss the past: "Now think about it, it's better to live in peace and contentment..."

"Looking at this situation now, it's not that easy to create. I pity my Wenwen, we haven't had time to choose a good-looking husband..."

Speaking of her most beloved granddaughter, Mrs. Shi was worried and concerned about her, and she couldn't help crying.

This time, shepherd's purse patted her hand to show comfort, and advised her at the right time: "Madam, it's not too late to look back now."

Mrs. Shi looked at Shepherd's Purse with a pair of teary eyes, with a look of consultation in her eyes.

That night, a secret letter and token were sent to Xuance Military Camp in Youzhou on horseback and secretly sent to Jizhou.

"How do you think Governor Cui will choose Shi Manhui?"

Watching the messenger disappear into the night, Chang Suining casually asked the person beside him.

The young man standing next to her said: "Shi Man let the Kang family brothers and sisters out of the city so easily. In addition to not wanting to hurt Mrs. Shi, he probably also had the intention of leaving a way out for himself-"

Chang Suining nodded in approval: "I think so too. As long as he is interested, there is a chance to convince him."

Kuroli stood beside the two of them, and the blazing torches on the side reflected the silhouettes of the two and the dog very long.

…

After the news of Kangdingshan's death spread, people in Jizhou City were in chaos.

The most chaotic place is the Kang family. The remaining sons of the Kang family are fighting for the military power and property left by their father. In just a few days, they have fallen apart.

Shi Man's situation was not easy either. Just when he was worried, a secret letter was delivered to him, along with an old bracelet.

There is a yellow dog tooth on the bracelet, which his mother found when he was young and asked him to carry it with him to ward off evil spirits.

He waited until he was eighteen years old. At that time, he joined the army and took off this bracelet, which represented youth and immaturity.

Mother kept many old things and saved many boxes. When he asked people to throw them away, his mother always said "they are still useful". If he said that he wanted to throw them away again, his mother would get angry.

At this moment, Shi Man clutched the dog tooth, his eyes hesitant.

…

Three days later, Cui Jing personally ordered 20,000 troops and led his army away from the camp. The army was headed in the direction of Jizhou.
