The most powerful minister in the world

Jingxi still crossed his legs and swayed his feet, and sneered: "No prince wants to sit on the throne."

Mu Sheng was shocked and put his finger on his lips: "Second Young Master, be careful what you say!"

"What are you afraid of? Aren't we the only two here? Are you going to report me?"

Mu Sheng shook his head and gritted his teeth and said: "The fourth prince behaves openly and aboveboard. When he is in Beijing, he has never shown any intention to seize the throne. I think he just wants to be a prince in peace in his life."

"If he really wanted to be a stable prince, he would not marry a daughter of the Jinling Lin family."

Mu Sheng did not want to engage in a verbal dispute with him, so he only expressed his true feelings: "No matter what, I will never participate in any partisan disputes!"

Seeing his resolute look, Jingxi said nothing more. Everyone has their own way to go.

The wind was blowing and the rain was thin. On a rainy night, the three teams carried out their first fierce attack on the bandits in various places. The effect was excellent. It must be said that the soldiers of Xiziying have become elite soldiers.

After more than ten days of encirclement and suppression, most of the bandits in Jiangsong, Taogang and Shangxi have been wiped out, and they have gained a lot.

It could be said that everything was under Jingxi's control, but there was only one thing that he didn't expect.

That is, some of the bandits in these three places abandoned their base camps early and fled to Qishan Mountain, where the bandits in Huainan are the most powerful.

The entire Qishan Mountain stretches for forty miles, with dozens of peaks, all under the command of a group of bandits. The mountain is rich in grass and can be completely self-sufficient in resources. It is an excellent place.

Jingxi originally wanted to pursue him, but unexpectedly, the bandits on Qishan Mountain actually traveled dozens of miles to meet him. According to the spies, they were well-equipped and well-cooperated, unlike the half-hearted ones they encountered before.

"It seems there are experts on Qishan Mountain!" Jingxi said while rubbing his face next to the sand table.

Mu Sheng was also looking at the military report that was presented, with a gloomy expression on his face as he paced in the tent.

"If this continues, our encirclement and suppression campaign will only be able to wipe out half of the bandits in these three places. The other half have long since fled to Qishan. As a result, the number of bandits in Qishan alone will reach nearly 100,000."

Jingxi also looked a little anxious and cursed: "Damn it, it's so lively now. If they rise up and come down from the mountain to attack the city, it will be another thing!"

Mu Sheng thought about it secretly, pinched his palms and said, "It's really tricky."

"The order goes down. Within three days, all the bandits in the three places must be wiped out. Those who surrender will be treated leniently."

"Second Young Master, we have been carrying out guerrilla methods of encirclement and suppression. I'm afraid we won't be able to do it in three days."

Jingxi threw the teacup in his hand up and down: "Then let's all switch to a fierce attack. There can be no further delay."

"In this case, the loss will be huge."

Just as he was saying this, he heard the noise outside and came in. After a while, a corps commander walked in with blood on his face.

Mu Sheng was shocked. Jingxi coughed twice and patted his shoulder gently. Then he calmed down and asked, "What's going on?"

"Go back to the Governor, we were on daily patrol. Suddenly, thousands of bandits appeared from the forest and attacked. Now we are defending."

Jingxi waved his hand to let the corps commander go down, and Mu Sheng turned around and happened to catch his excited eyes.

"Second Young Master, this is outside the suburbs of the city. How did the bandits get in?"

"Isn't it easy to dress up as a mountain villager? It's interesting to think about it. It's from Qishan Mountain. It's very interesting. The more I want to know who is controlling all this on Qishan Mountain."

"They don't think they will destroy our base camp just by sending these one thousand people, right? Although we don't have many people, we still have eight thousand people."

Jingxi took the Qiu Shuang Jade Sword in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's a big deal to use a thousand people to disgust us."

"Second Young Master, do you want to go out?"

Mu Sheng planned to go out with him, but he stopped him with his sword: "Don't go, you can't dance with a sword or a gun. My hands are very itchy recently, so go play."

After saying that, before Mu Sheng could speak again, he put the sword on his shoulder and left, leaving only Mu Sheng holding out a hand and sighing with twitching lips.

When it was still dark, a bonfire was lit in a place with abundant wild grass, and a leg of lamb was roasted on it until it was sizzling with oil.

The crackling firewood was sending out sparks, and the firelight shone on Jingxi's face. At this moment, he was carving the lamb leg meat with a dagger, sprinkled it with cumin and put it in his mouth. Hmm, not to mention how fragrant it was.

Not far in front of him, several bandits were tied up and pushed to the ground.

Jingxi took a sip of meat and a sip of wine, clasped his fingers and asked without looking, "Who is in charge on Qishan Mountain?"

"Kill us, we won't say anything."

Mu Sheng happened to come over. After the guard saluted, he walked in. When he passed by the bandit, the bandit wanted to drag him and bite him.

But he was kicked to the ground by a guard: "This is our Lord Governor, you really want to die!"

The bandit was beaten hard by the guard with his gun. Mu Sheng waved his hand and the guard stopped.

"What a bullshit governor, he's just a big dog of the imperial court. Hahaha, hey," the bandit looked at Mu Sheng fiercely, "How come you're still so thin after you've been greedy for so much money?! Hahaha."

Mu Sheng smiled and ignored him, but the bandit still scolded him relentlessly, saying something like a pretty boy.

Jingxi waved his hand, and the bandit's mouth was blocked by the guards.

"It's so shameless to be able to bark like a dog, but you two are planning not to say anything?!"

The other two bandits turned their heads and snorted. This was something Jingxi didn't expect. They were so damn strong-willed. It seemed that the brainwashing skills of the one on Qishan Mountain were really extraordinary.

"Hey~ Look at you, I'm not asking about anything important, I just want to know you..."

"Don't even think about asking a word from us!"

Jing Xi and Mu Sheng looked at each other, shook their heads and said nothing.

Jingxi cut the mutton with his hands: "Kill him."

"Yes, General."

The three bandits were dragged down, and one of them shouted: "Big brother and second brother will avenge us!"

The evening breeze was blowing, Jing Xi and Mu Sheng were eating mutton, and the campfire was swaying. Mu Sheng wiped his hands with a handkerchief: "Does the second young master have any countermeasures in mind?"

"Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. Now Qishan is like an iron barrel, and no wind can blow in. It is really difficult to handle."

Mu Sheng proposed to encircle the mountain, but Jingxi refused. There are many fruits and vegetables on Qishan Mountain and it is completely self-sufficient.

"What should we do?"

Jingxi took the mutton leg with not much meat in his hand and gnawed it. He didn't say anything for a long time. He threw it away after eating and then said: "Don't worry, I have a countermeasure. I can't say it now. Tomorrow, Dongyang and Lian'er, please go back to Dancheng."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

After Mu Sheng left, Jingxi wiped his hands, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked up at the stars in the sky, and felt relaxed and relaxed with the chirping of insects and birds in his ears.

Three days later, except for the bandits who escaped, there was no more banditry in the three areas. Most of the villages were burned to the ground, leaving only some larger ones that had been repaired and used as places to garrison troops.

"Add money!"

A roar came from Jingxi's tent, and even the tent curtain was lifted.

Li Min was running after Jing Xi with a kitchen knife in his hand, while Mu Sheng was holding a tea cup and sitting on a chair watching the show.

Jingxi hid behind the chair and stretched out his hand to shout: "You don't have martial ethics, throw away the kitchen knife if you have the guts!"

"Don't you have a sword too? Besides, it's superfluous to reason with a gangster like you. Don't say you don't have it, just add more money!"

"You are simply being unreasonable. How can you change the price you agreed upon?"

Li Min snorted and threw the kitchen knife at him. He picked up a chair to block it.

"You're almost done. Do you think I don't know your brother is Li Xiong'er? I haven't asked you for money yet!"

Li Min chased him again, and he ran away again.

"Why should I give you money?"

"I'm looking for a master for your brother, do you think you should give me money?"

Li Min stopped and was speechless for a moment. Finally, he pinched his waist and said, "I want you to find it. Don't think that I don't know what your intentions are. My brother will not be used by you!"

"Sister, do you have any serious illness? When will I take advantage of your brother? Don't make trouble unreasonably. Mother, if you know this, I won't let you come out to cook."

"Hey, you still dare to scold me. I'll see if I don't hang you up and beat you today."

Li Min stomped his feet and the assistant flew to catch Jing Xi. Jing Xi returned his elbow and wanted to strike first, but unexpectedly, there was a huge disparity in strength and he was forcefully pinned down by Li Min on the table.

"You're crazy! Don't be so shameless. If you don't let go, I want you to look good!"

"Scare me, I'm so scared, mom? Tell me, do you want to pay more?"

"do not add!"

While Jingxi was hardening his strength, he secretly smashed the table leg with a palm, and his body fell downwards. The two of them fell to the ground together.

Mu Sheng had already hid aside, but he was still jumped by the broken wood. After the dust dispersed, his eyes widened and he kept coughing.

Jingxi was seen supporting Li Min with both hands, and the support made Li Min blush.

Jingxi also came to his senses and said hesitantly: "Um... you insisted on chasing me. Look, it's embarrassing..."

"what!!!!!"
