"Give you a chance, since you lie here every day and pretend to be a corpse, it's better to ......" Jiang Xihu looked at Li Jicai condescendingly, with a hint of ill will in his eyes.

"Why don't you do it?" Li Jicai took over the conversation, and then waited for Jiang Xihu's next words.

"I heard that the mountain bandits in Liangzhou especially love to rob women, why don't you come forward as a bait to lure the snake out of the hole?" Jiang Xihu's words were purely a joke, wanting to scare and scare Li Jicai.

But how could Li Jicai be something he could scare?

"Do you think a man like me is interested? I'm afraid that even ghosts can't look down on me. Li Jicai's body was scorched black, and her skin was burned like that, she felt miserable when she saw it, and it was impossible for normal people to take a fancy to her.

Jiang Xihu glanced at Li Jicai, who was tightly wrapped, and said in his heart, indeed, if he was a mountain bandit, he probably wouldn't look at her.

It's just that why is this dead girl's tone so bad? Just treat her savior like that? It looks like it's half dead and hanging, and it's annoying.

Remembering earlier, he asked her why she didn't die. Who knew that she actually replied to him: "It is better to rely on the world than to be buried in the soil, it is better to die than to live." "But he was dumbfounded, and it sounded a little crooked.

"With such sharp teeth and sharp mouth, are you really not afraid that I will kill you?"

"If you want to, please." Li Jicai did not withdraw his eyes from looking out of the window, and said nonchalantly.

"Misanthropy?"

"I lost interest in this country, this era, my whole life, u

de

sta

d？ ”

"What? Don't say weird things, be honest. Jiang Xihu interrupted impatiently.

"I don't want to live, I don't want to die, there is no point in dying or living, but if you don't kill me, I won't kill myself, I won't kill myself in this life, it's as simple as that."

"Why?"

"... ...."Li Jicai did not speak again.

She knows that Jiang Xihu is bored, but she is not bored, and she doesn't want to be disturbed, only when she is alone, she will feel at peace in her heart.

Jiang Xihu saw that Li Jicai was silent in the middle of the conversation, and knew that she didn't want to talk to herself.

He didn't force her either, because during this time of getting along, he had already figured out her character.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this Li Jicai was a little interesting, he wouldn't be willing to spend so much time with her.

It is not far from Liangzhou City, and it will be dozens of miles away, but they do not go directly to Liangzhou, but the land of black bullets in the border town near Liangzhou.

During this time during the journey, Li Jicai was able to lift herself slightly, and most of the time she would open the curtain of the carriage and quietly look at the scenery outside.

It's not as barren as imagined, yellow sand and so on. The climate is indeed very dry, the wind blows on the face with a hot pain, the blue sky and white clouds, and from time to time you meet tall trees, straight and firm, this place has its own style.

Looking at this empty and lonely place, looking at the flat and endless place from afar, reminded Li Jicai of a poem.

The Yellow River is far above the white clouds,

A lonely city and ten thousand mountains.

Why should the Qiang flute complain about the willows,

The spring breeze does not pass the jade gate.

This is a description of the city of Liangzhou, but I don't know if it is the Liangzhou of the Chu State, Liangzhou is an important town of national defense, located in the border fortress, on the vast plateau, the river rushes away, and the lonely city on the plug is Liangzhou. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, there is the lonely city of Liangzhou. Yumen Pass stands alone in the mountains, lonely and lonely. This is what I learned in a junior high school textbook.

Thinking of the time when he was in school, learning Chinese required memorization, and he was reciting hard every day, Li Jicai's mouth had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes looked at the world outside the carriage window.

Jiang Xihu is tasked with two tasks.

The first thing is to pacify the victims of the spring drought, and all kinds of supplies must be distributed to the location in a timely manner. In fact, this matter was originally explained to the local officials, but there was an accident in the past, and some officials embezzled the money and food of the victims, so a lot of people died that year, and His Majesty was furious.

The second thing is to exterminate the trouble-making bandits, and no longer endanger the lives of the local people, affecting the business of the merchants, the business in the border areas is not very good, so this is undoubtedly worse for business and trade, and under the peaceful and prosperous times, no one can be allowed to commit chaos!

Jiang Xihu, who understood these two points at the beginning of Qingchu, did not delay much, and after staying at the place prepared in advance, he began to prepare.

Emperor Gao De specially assigned officials to Jiang Xihu, and Jiang Xihu asked them to be in charge of these, and he himself was responsible for suppressing bandits.

Not many people know how Jiang Xihu's poems and books of war are read, because he is usually haunted, and he likes to act arbitrarily and recklessly, and no one will discipline him, so he will grow savagely, and the teacher that Emperor Gao Dedi found for him was not long after he thought of ways and means to drive him away.

However, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he didn't have much experience of going out, some people doubt that he can do a good job of suppressing bandits, even if he is a prince, if he can't suppress bandits, wouldn't he make the world laugh?

Although Emperor Gao De hoped that the prince could go out to experience, however, he felt that this matter was not so easy to deal with for his fourth son Jiang Xihu, he sent military generals to support, if Jiang Xihu did not do well in this matter, he would call him back, and then arrange the prince to go over, Emperor Gao De had already calculated.

Jiang Xihu also knew this kind of arrangement, so he also made up his mind to make this matter beautiful and slap them in the face.

However, it is true that he has little practical experience in this area, and no matter how much he reads, if he does not use it well, it is only on paper. Therefore, along the way, in addition to watching the scenery and teasing Li Jicai, Jiang Xihu spent the rest of the time simulating the plan to suppress bandits.

Among them, throwing a woman as a bait is also one of his strategies, but throwing an innocent woman will inevitably make people criticize, plus there is no woman in his convoy, Li Jicai is burned ugly, which man can look at her?

Therefore, troubles are troubles, and everything can only be discussed when he arrives at that place.

There are so many capable people at the bottom, he doesn't believe that he can't deal with those mountain bandits.

But what he didn't know was that since those mountain bandits had chosen to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, they had already made up their minds to confront the imperial court, and they were all extremely vicious and not afraid at all.

When Li Jicai got off the carriage, he was placed in a courtyard with Dr. Wang.

It is said that the patient needs to be with the doctor, so it is safer, but who knows, anyway, it is certain that Dr. Wang, who is over half a hundred years old, will not do anything to a woman who has been burned so miserably, it is too heavy taste.

In addition, every day Dr. Wang would be teased by Li Jicai from time to time, and he had to see her.

As soon as Jiang Xihu landed, he was busy, busy ordering and arranging all kinds of big and small things, so Li Jicai hadn't seen Jiang Xihu for many days.

Li Jicai thought that he was tired of dogs.

It is not very difficult to relieve the common people, but it is difficult to suppress bandits.

The place where they are located is called Kuayi, which is less than fifty miles away from Liangzhou City, and it is a small place.

The exaggerated terrain is flat, the surrounding field of vision is wide, there is a big mountain with a chest in the east, the top of the mountain is snow-white all the year round, there is a river at the foot of the mountain, and the tall and sturdy dense forest is in it, which is a better hiding place, there is everything in the mountain, and you can't die of hunger, but you have to endure the wind and sun.

But this is this place, the bandits are the most serious, and the other places are only small forces, and the government can still be cured, and there is no way to think about it here.

The official road passed at the foot of the mountain, and every time the bandits ran down the mountain and then robbed the passing vehicles.

Some people once wondered if they could avoid being robbed by bandits by changing the route, but it was useless, and the vehicles had to pass through the mountain, because they had come all the way and had to supply water in the forest.

As long as you pass through that mountain, there is a great possibility of encountering mountain bandits, but even so, most people are willing to try their luck, so from time to time there will be unlucky people who are plundered, and those who are lucky enough to escape.

There are no less than 100 people in that group of mountain bandits, and special sentry posts have been set up, and some people regularly go down the mountain to inquire about the news, to see when there is a lawsuit to send officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits, and they can also prepare in advance.

As for whether there was any collusion in it, I don't know.

Jiang Xihu's first decision was that he would first target the small mountain bandits in the surrounding area, or directly dispose of the big pot, and then deal with the small ones, everything had to have a sequence.

The advice given to him by the people around him was that they started with a small group of mountain bandits, saying that it was difficult to deal with at the beginning when there were many people, and the prince was inexperienced.

But Jiang Xihu didn't think so, he felt that if he took down the big one, then the small one would not become the climate, after all, the thief captured the king first, and the leader was gone, and the others would scatter and flee, and they would not dare to commit it again.

It is impossible for him to cut the grass and eradicate the roots at once, this is a long-term accumulated disaster, just like scraping the bones to cure the poison, he must take it slowly, not in a hurry.

As a result, he discussed with his subordinates for several days, but did not come up with a suitable countermeasure.

But somehow, the mountain bandits have received the news, and they have been out of activity less recently, so they can't catch their traces.

Jiang Xihu wondered why, as soon as he came, there was no news from the bandits, obviously he had received the news that they were very rampant a month ago.

Could it be that someone is tipping off the news?

Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Xihu felt that this matter was even more difficult to handle.

Although he brought a lot of people and reinforcements were also behind, after all, the strong dragon couldn't suppress the ground snake, and if he was calculated, he wouldn't be able to get out.

This time it was just a suppression of the bandits, and it was just an opportunity to experience, and it was not a big deal, so he didn't make too much noise when he announced it to the outside world, he just took on the name of a minister, but the officials knew it in private, but the people in the remote and isolated places didn't know.

Jiang Xihu showed that he was actively studying countermeasures every day, and on the face, they did not move, and they kept making small moves in private.

The advisors around him gave him advice and said a lot, but he felt that some of them were not very useful.
