The autumn rains, which lasted for three days, finally stopped.

After the rain, the sky is as blue as a wash, and the autumn sun hangs in the sky, bringing long-lost warmth.

Li Chenan and his entourage have not walked fast in the past three days, firstly because of the muddy road, and secondly, because of the ...... He's not in a hurry.

At noon on this day, the team came to a rather open plain, and under the instruction of Li Chen'an, the team stopped here, and the soldiers began to repair or bury the pot to make rice.

In the past three days, Ning Zhixing has not ridden with Li Chenan again, and the two teams are clearly distinguished, and they are also guarding against each other when they are resting and camping.

This moment is no exception.

But Ning Zhixing got out of the carriage and walked over to Li Chen'an.

Li Chen'an was standing by a small river, looking at the distant mountains opposite, as well as the crops that had been barren recently.

"At this rate, it will take at least three days to reach Shilipo. ”

Ning Zhixing also looked into the distance, and said: "Entering the mountain from Shilipo, the mountain road is more difficult, I'm afraid it will take another three days!"

"Six days, six days, I'm afraid half of the food hidden in that cave will be removed. ”

He retracted his gaze and looked at Li Chen'an, a little puzzled: "Are you really not in a hurry?" or what are you waiting for?"

The corners of Li Chen'an's mouth curled, "I'm waiting for them to move half of that grain!"

Ning Zhixing was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"Isn't it just to see if those grains will be transported to Changle Palace?"

Ning Zhixing pondered for a moment, "It's that simple?"

"Of course, not only that, but I'm still waiting for your grandfather Ji Tai to dig this pit a little bigger. ”

After saying this, Li Chenan turned his head and looked at Ning Zhixing: "Let's put that business aside for the time being, and fill this hole first...... Eat the meal one bite at a time, and walk the road step by step!"

"Swallowing dates is not good for digestion, and it is easy to pull the eggs if you take too many steps. ”

"I just want to see what kind of strength Ji Tai is secretly hiding, if in Shuangjiao Mountain, he can destroy his power one by one, once and for all, there will be a lot less trouble in the future, which will be better for you and me to cooperate in that business in the future. ”

Ning Zhixing's eyebrows frowned slightly, he understood the meaning of these words-

Ji Tai was a big help behind him, and Li Chen'an's elimination of his grandfather's power was to reduce his power.

He didn't want to cooperate with a prince with great power, he wanted to take this opportunity to make his strength weaker, so that he could have the confidence to cooperate in the future.

It's just that......

This situation of Jiaoshan has long been out of the category of suppressing bandits.

There are not only the 300 water bandits in it, but also the 10,000 garrisons of his uncle Ji An!

In addition, there are 2,000 private soldiers from the Yan State Mansion and the Luo State Mansion.

As for the masters of the rivers and lakes, in order to kill Li Chen'an, my grandfather made a bloody investment, not only informed the Baiyi League, but also invited Beiqi Zuoqiu Buming and others through Xie Wushuang.

Is this something that the Imperial City Division didn't notice?

Or does Li Chenan have other arrangements?

My grandfather got the news that the Shenwu army of the Dingguo Mansion had not moved, and the private soldiers of the Cheng Mansion and the Qi Mansion had returned to Kyoto, but they were kept in their courtyards and did not participate in this anti-bandit operation.

Even the Imperial City Division only sent dozens of spies from seven places to Shuangjiao Mountain to explore the way.

With such 400 Xuanjia cavalry, he dared to run to the Shuangjiao Mountain, which was like a tiger's den in Longtan...... Who gave him courage?

Could it be that he really thought that he had to cooperate with him and didn't dare to take his life?!

Obviously, if Li Chenan is willing to cooperate, this is the best ending, and even the battle of Shuangjiaoshan can be completely avoided.

But if Li Chenan has other ideas...... He died in Shuangjiao Mountain, and he could find someone else who could cooperate!

Because the stakes are huge.

No matter which family, even the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, it is difficult to refuse in the face of such huge interests.

Therefore, if Li Chenan doesn't know how to lift, then he can only be buried in Shuangjiao Mountain!

"Aren't you worried that the pit is dug too deep and you can't climb out if you jump in?"

"I thought about it carefully, if I put all the corpses of the enemy under my feet, I should be able to crawl out. ”

Ning Zhixing and Li Chen'an's eyes intertwined in the air, and the two looked at each other for a full five breaths, and he suddenly smiled:

"You person, this king really can't understand. ”

He looked away and looked at the mountains with his hands behind his back.

"Say you're smart...... I just don't understand the simple truth that good birds choose trees to perch, so they have to be so stubborn. ”

"Call you stupid...... Where can a stupid person make so many such good poems? ”

"Why can't you just put it down?"

"If you let go, you and I don't need to pay this unnecessary price!"

Li Chenan laughed.

He walked forward, Ning Zhixing didn't know why Li Chen'an was doing, but he had to get Li Chen'an's answer today, because it was related to the plan for the Battle of Shuangjiao Mountain.

So, he had no choice but to follow.

Li Chen'an bypassed the stream and came to the edge of this huge barren field.

He squatted on the ground, looked carefully at the weeds in the field, and plucked a horsetail grass casually:

"There is something wrong with these words, Your Highness. ”

"First of all, how can Your Highness prove that he is the tree I can live in?"

He stood up with this horsetail grass, looked at Ning Zhixing, and his expression became serious:

"I don't want the tragedy to happen to me, but it is often unavoidable to cross the river, dismantle the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey. ”

"Secondly, between me and Jitai, there is no room for maneuver, it's a life-and-death situation. ”

"It's not just me and him for a personal vendetta!"

Li Chen'an's tone suddenly became heavy, and Ning Zhixing suddenly felt the sharpness of the two gazes that fell on his face.

"No matter what the emperor is, he Ji Tai is the prime minister of a country!"

"I believe that His Highness is well aware of the current chaos in the court, and also knows the heinous sins committed by those officials who are attached to him!"

Li Chenan turned his head and looked at the distant mountains, and sighed leisurely:

"The Imperial City Division has collected the evidence of the crimes of those ministers in the past twenty years!"

"I've only seen it cursoly, but I've been shocked!"

"Buying and selling officials has been put on the table, and in the name of disaster relief, they are greedy for two huge amounts of ink and silver! The heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes have pressed the people to their waists, not to mention relying on Ji Tai's support to bully men and women to take advantage of it. ”

"He has been prime minister for nearly twenty years, this is the darkest twenty years of Ningguo!"

"The officials don't know that there are people, and the people ...... People are displaced. ”

"So Ji Tai's sin is difficult to write!"

"Look at this field!"

Li Chenan pulled the horsetail grass in his hand, "How much fertile land is here?"

"These fertile fields have been abandoned, and it is obvious that they have not even grown autumn grain!"

"Look at the village in the distance, it's noon, do you see a wisp of smoke?"

"There is no one in that village anymore. ”

"It's close to Kyoto, maybe they went to the city to make a living and still be able to support their families and guard the crops...... I'm afraid I'll just starve to death!"

Li Chenan looked at Ning Zhixing again, "You are the noble prince, Ji Tai is the prime minister of the ruling and opposition parties, you all have no worries about food and clothing, so naturally you don't know the suffering of the people." ”

Ning Zhixing frowned, and then heard Li Chenan say again:

"Your Highness, do you know what a man can do when he is dying of hunger?"
