To be honest, Jiang Xihu's subordinates are already a little tired of it, every time they have to deliberately lose to those mountain bandits, every time they have to deliberately be beaten away by them, sometimes they can't help but resist and go back, but they will be ordered by their bosses to hurry back.

In fact, they have the ability to fight these mountain bandits to the death, but I don't know why they deliberately let them all lose to him last time.

Could this be some kind of tactic?

Almost everyone has such a question in their hearts, but they don't show it, after all, they will do whatever they say they want to do.

They had fought these bandits no less than seven or eight times, but each time they had been agreed upon, and they fled.

Although it is still difficult to get over the face, there are still some benefits to such a confrontation, at least they have figured out the routines of those mountain bandits.

Most of the time, they just use the knife, shouting and shouting to kill, and rush directly over, as if they don't have a brain. It doesn't seem to have been formally trained, as if he was here to make up the numbers.

Moreover, there are only so many people sent by the mountain bandits every time, more than a hundred, and those who rush to the front are all not afraid of death, they are very thick and tall, and their combat effectiveness is stronger.

And the ones who shrank behind are basically some short and thin, incapable, and can't withstand a few rounds of fighting.

The quality of the mountain bandits is uneven, and if they are dragged to the battlefield to fight, they are a group of miscellaneous soldiers, and they have no combat effectiveness at all.

The reason why Jiang Xihu didn't do it for a long time was that he wanted to dig out the roots of this village, and if the weeds were only cut for one season and not dug up, they would grow again next spring.

According to his informant, the document summoning him back to Beijing was already on the way, and it was about to arrive.

Because Jiang Xihu has been slow to do anything here, people have to wonder if he is not capable of dealing with this matter.

The ministers in Kyoto were mostly on the sidelines of this matter because they had been beaten by His Majesty openly and secretly, and even if they were called over by Jiang Xihu to ask their opinions, they were mostly perfunctory and did not actively give advice.

Anyway, the ultimate bearer of this matter is Jiang Xihu instead of them, they don't need to worry about anything, on the contrary, they may just come over to take a look and enjoy the scenery. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to see the scenery in Liangzhou.

Jiang Xihu was in a hurry, he was really in a hurry.

There were only about a hundred of the bandits who came down to fight them from time to time, and if they were to be taken down, it would be no problem to take down most of them. But if you do this, it will be tantamount to startling the snake, and it will be easy for the other bandits on Nama Mountain to come down again.

If they don't come down again, they can attack it, but if they do, how many traps or ambushes there are on the mountain, and even what kind of danger they will encounter, it is unknown, Jiang Xihu's subordinates have no experience in this kind of related matters, and he is reluctant to let his men go to death.

After all, these mountain bandits have been entrenched in the mountains for a while, and they have become the climate, and they can't keep it, so they set up all kinds of obstacles on the mountain, and set up all kinds of insidious traps that are not easy to find.

But if there is still no conspiracy and miracle in the end, then Jiang Xihu has to choose to use the tactics of the sea of people to occupy the mountain and completely solve the group of mountain bandits.

Just wait for two more days, if that woman can create a miracle, Jiang Xihu doesn't know why, he just simply believes that maybe Li Jicai can really do it.

This woman is extraordinary.

If Li Jicai knew that she was so stubborn and paranoid that Jiang Xihu believed her, I don't know if she would feel very moved in her heart.

But daring to move or not doesn't help the current situation, and she is still in a state where she can't get out.

But fortunately, when Dr. Shi was away, she could sneak around the house, or lean on the edge of the window to peek at the scene outside.

In fact, this village is more like a village in the mountains. They also raised some livestock, and some people carried firewood on their backs all day, and some walked around mowing grass and sorting all kinds of things.

It came and went like a small society.

Live in peace here.

But of course, they know that their real identity is actually the bandits in the mountains, who are doing those robbers who rob homes and houses, and I don't know how they will feel.

Looking at these people, some people have fierce faces, some people have charitable and kind faces, some people have sad faces, some people have yellow faces and thin muscles, different people have different appearances, and different people have different circumstances.

Dr. Shi told Li Jicai that if the people here looked very pitiful, most of them were the enslaved side, and on the contrary, most of the people with red faces and big waists were mountain bandit leaders.

The law of the jungle applies at all times.

Originally, these people came from various origins, whether they were mountain people, or orphans, or horseback merchants, or footmen, or all kinds of groups.

Such a large and complex group formed a special bandit village, and the social environment also gave him enough nutrients to make it grow into its current appearance.

Sometimes Li Jicai just observes these people and feels that they are not all traitors, but in fact, many of them are victims like Dr. Shi. There are also many poor people, but since they have fallen into the bandits, they can really only be generalized as bad people, and they are all objects that the court wants to exterminate.

No matter how much Li Jicai wanted to burn down this village, but thinking that there might be some innocent and pitiful people among them, he couldn't do it, after all, the rainy weather was only two days.

"Your injuries are not healed yet, don't move around much, go back to bed and lie down." A gentle female voice came from the right side of Li Jicai.

Li Jicai naturally turned his head to see that it was the late mother.

A very feminine woman, with a curvy figure and a beautiful face.

She is one of the few women in this village, she was captured by the hall master Zhao Wuheng, and it should have been returned to Zhao Wuxian as well.

Originally, Wanniang was just a widow in the village under the mountain. Zhao Wuxian felt that this night was gentle and considerate, Chu Chu was moving, if she was just left in the village and widowed, it would be a pity.

Originally, he was a robber, so he didn't stop doing it, Zhao Wuxian sneaked into the late mother's house on a dark and windy night, and then quietly kidnapped and plundered people.

The late mother was widowed for a short time, of course, she would rather die than obey.

But Zhao Wuxian sent someone to take strict care of her, and she couldn't even find her death.

has been guarding her for many years, I don't know why Zhao Wuheng doesn't lack this patience, maybe it's just that he forcibly took away this night's mother.

Originally, Zhao Wuheng had a wife, but as a man, where would he feel that he had more women.

And in this village, the higher the rank, the higher the person, can enjoy a fixed female partner, and the late mother is Zhao Wuheng's person.

Later, after Wanniang was guarded for more than a year, she finally gave up the struggle and no longer looked for death, but followed Zhao Wuxian separately.

No one knows why she has undergone such a change, Zhao Wuheng knows that her temperament is very strong, and there has been a sudden change, there must be something wrong, so although Wanniang behaved very obediently, Zhao Wuxian still habitually guards against her all year round.

Even if it is the person next to her pillow, she really can't keep it one day, maybe she will hold a knife at her, and after all, Wanniang is the person he forcibly snatched, and she must have hatred in her heart.

As long as a person has hatred in his heart, he will definitely not give up revenge. At the right time, she will definitely do it.

Zhao Wu also understands this as a bandit, and it is actually very unreasonable for him to delay killing Wan Niang, he knows that this woman is very dangerous, but he still wants to tie her to his side.

After all, there are not many women with beautiful faces, good figures, and vitality like this, and there are few women in the village, because of this, Zhao Wuheng cherishes it even more.

Over the past few years, the late lady has behaved in a proper manner without any abnormality. Zhao Wuxian gradually let go of his restraints on her.

It gave her more freedom, and even gave her a task.

What task?

It's like she appeared by Li Jicai's side today.

It is to let her get close to the woman's side, and then persuade them, influence them, let them stay in the village willingly, give birth to children for the men in the village, let them give up the idea of suicide, let them give up the idea of running away, let them give up the idea of revenge for everything, and stay in the village in peace.

At first, Wanniang was reluctant to do such a thing, but when she witnessed those innocent women being ravaged to death by those bandits, she gradually changed her mind.

Maybe people will change, maybe it is more meaningful for Wanniang to survive, as long as she lives, there is hope for everything.

Some women couldn't understand the mood of the late mother and scolded her for being shameless, saying that she endured humiliation and stealing her life, and said that if she was insulted by men, it would be better to die, in fact, they really did it.

Because some women were afraid, under the persuasion of the late mother, they fixed to follow a man, and a little power could ensure her safety in this village.

So when everything entered the process, on the seventh day when Li Jicai entered the village, the late mother approached Li Jicai by her side.

At the beginning, Li Jicai was very wary of her, because she could feel that this woman was very smart, definitely not, ordinary people are definitely not so weak as they seem on the outside.

So Li Jicai is vigilant and guarded.

When they meet.

Li Jicai was shocked by the first words she said.

She said, "You did it on purpose, you did it on purpose." ”

When Li Jicai heard this, she was alarmed at the time, wondering if she had secretly exposed herself when she didn't know it.

Otherwise, how could this woman be so sure, yes, the resoluteness and affirmation in her tone can't be disguised.

Li Jicai wanted to pretend to be at a loss for innocence, even frightened, but she didn't have time to cover it up.

"Don't be afraid, I won't expose you." The late lady said again.

She was wearing a red dress, which was very close-fitting, and she looked a little thin, after all, the current weather, the weather in the mountains and forests was not very hot.

The black and bright hair was coiled on her head, and several hairpins were inserted obliquely on it, and there were a few strings of coral-colored beads on the hairpins, which reflected her temperament very well.

Li Jicai just wanted to say, she didn't know what she meant by this?

The late lady sat down beside her by herself, and then took out the hand that was in the quilt and put it in the palm of her hand.

This feeling of self-familiarity made Li Jicai a little uncomfortable.

"My name is Wanniang."

Her hands are cold, slender and white, her nails are trimmed very long, and the pink nails make people feel that they inexplicably arouse goosebumps on Li Jicai's body.

It's a really strange feeling.

Li Jicai didn't know what to say, just looked at her fixedly, the more she said at this time, the easier it was to make mistakes, so it was better not to say it.

"The first time I saw you, you had just been dragged into the stockade by them, covered in dirty dirt, and your black tattered clothes hung on your body, revealing your middle coat and many wounds on your body, and it looked terrible. I'm sad that another poor woman is going to be buried in the ground, and sometimes you know, God, that's how he arranged it, and you can't fight him.

Later I found out that you weren't dead, and to be honest, I was curious because you really looked like a dead person at the time.

So I'm curious about you, and they judge you as an inferior slave, and when you're healed, do you know what you're going to do? ”

Speaking of this, Li Jicai shook her head vigorously, she really didn't expect that if Dr. Shi said that her wound was almost healed, what kind of situation would she face?

"It will become the plaything of many dirty men." This sentence was whispered by the late mother in Li Jicai's ear, the voice was very soft and charming, but the emotions conveyed in the tone still made Li Jicai tremble.

It's like a proclamation, it's like intimidation, it's like sympathy and pity.

In a moment, Wanniang raised her body, and then stared at her quietly, as if she wanted to see Li Jicai through.

Her gaze taught Li Jicai to be afraid.

The strange thing is that those big men and those stout men did not make Li Jicai feel afraid, but it was the thin, slender and gentle woman in front of him that made Li Jicai feel a deep sense of terror.

This woman, as if she had experienced thousands of vicissitudes of time, all the eyes of that thing fell on her, and Li Jicai felt that there was no escape.
