The most powerful minister in the world

Jingxi and his party followed Li Cheng to the back mountain and heard the sound of iron tools clashing. Dead bodies were everywhere here. Liu Huangying was so frightened that her legs trembled. Jingxi smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "You go with Yang first." Hu, let’s go see what good things there are in the village and use them as a small treasury.”

As if Liu Huangying was released, she rubbed oil on her feet and ran away. Jingxi didn't say anything about this. He knew Fatty's nature. Do you think he is cowardly? He really isn't, he just has a little bit of courage in his bones. He will practice slowly in the future, and he won't be in a hurry.

Two hundred Xizi battalion soldiers were fighting against three hundred bandits. The situation was obviously one-sided. Jingxi shouted at the top of his lungs: "Don't hesitate to strike with the sword. Go straight to the vital point. Be fierce. Even if the sword from the opposite side stabs you, as long as it can severely injure the enemy." Be tough from the front!”

Jing Xi's words undoubtedly gave the soldiers some blood. The situation that was originally one-sided was now over like a whirlwind.

Injuries were taken care of by colleagues, and no one flinched. The first battle ended when the last bandit fell.

"Overall, it's not bad." Jingxi said while holding the Qiu Shuang Jade Sword and twirling the blood on his fingers.

Mu Sheng frowned, as if he had something to say, put his hands together, gritted his teeth and took a step forward: "Second Young Master, isn't it a bit cruel to train soldiers like this?"

Jing Xi suddenly turned around and said with sharp eyes: "Life and death on the battlefield cannot be judged by a few random sentences by a master who has never carried a sword. A woman's kindness will only cause greater losses!"

"As a soldier, it is an absolute honor to die on the battlefield. You should never have the slightest doubt or deny this!"

Jing Xi pointed at Li Cheng and said, "Ask him, how did he come here step by step? The knife was sharpened several times, and he was stabbed several times. That was not a chance of survival in a desperate situation. ?”

Mu Sheng pinched his fingers in his sleeves. He knew what Jing Xi said was right, but in his heart he really rejected this kind of behavior. There were many ways to train soldiers, and he didn't think this method was the most effective.

Jingxi seemed to notice his rejection, so he flicked the black robe behind him and said, "If a man cannot be a hero in life, then he will be a ghost hero in death. I believe that the deceased will not regret the decision he made today."

"Clean the village, don't burn it, keep it for use. Change a battalion every seven days to guard it. If bandits come, they will be killed without mercy!"

Li Cheng said with a military salute: "Yes, general."

Jing Xi held up his sword and left. Mu Sheng looked at the body that would soon turn into bones, sighed and followed him away.

This time, a total of more than 1,500 mountain bandits were wiped out, and more than a thousand people were left to surrender. Jingxi surprisingly did not kill them, but tied them all up, tied them to a long dragon, and walked back to Dancheng in a swaggering way.

He confiscated silver, jewelry and other items in the cottage, equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of silver.

More than 400 people were rescued, most of whom were women and children. Some women committed suicide on the way back to the city. They did not want to be judged by others. Many of them were already unclean. Many nights, they were ruthlessly beaten. The ravages have given them no reason to live, and even... little girls under ten years old were not spared.

Mu Sheng jumped out of the carriage and was about to stop him, but was stopped by Jing Xi's Qiushuang Jade Sword stretched out.

Now that their eyes were facing each other, Mu Sheng's stubborn temper rose again, but Jingxi didn't give him a chance to speak. He took back the Qiu Shuang Sword and said: "This is their own choice. We have no right to interfere. We can only take the body back and place it properly." .”

"How can you be so inhumane and just watch them end their youthful process?!"

"There is no greater sorrow than death of the heart. This is also thanks to the Confucian masters you admire most. It is they who exaggerate a woman's chastity to the point where losing it means death."

Mu Sheng fluttered his sleeves angrily and sent someone to stop the woman who wanted to commit suicide, regardless of Jing Xi's obstruction. Jing Xi shook his head helplessly and reached out to call Li Chenglai.

"General, what are your orders?"

Jingxi whispered in his ear: "Go and give the prepared Anle powder to those who need it."

Li Cheng nodded and said, "I will finally understand."

"Slow down, come back."

Li Cheng turned his horse and looked at Jing Xi, waiting for his further instructions. He pinched his eyebrows and took a deep breath: "Let people buy new clothes and let women change them for them. Don't ask family members to claim the body. Let’s set it on fire.”

Li Cheng nodded in agreement without any hesitation and left on his own.

Liu Huangying came over on horseback and said, "Master Jing, you did the right thing, don't feel sad."

Jingxi rubbed his face and cursed: "Damn it, these bandits deserve to die!"

Li Dongyang said casually from a distance: "Then what are you doing with these bastards behind you?"

"Anger is anger. Some people may have no choice but to go back and find ways to punish them when they become bandits. Let the people who were captured in the village recognize their crimes. If they are not evil, they will stay and be exiled to the army."

"Ah?" Li Dongyang's eyes widened in surprise, "You want these people to join the army?"

"If I'm not within the Xiziying system, I have my own uses. However, this matter must be kept secret."

Li Dongyang bowed and said, "In that case, Mr. Li won't ask any more questions, this... second young master, this month's salary..."

"General!" Before Li Dongyang could finish speaking, a soldier came galloping from the front on horseback, looking panicked.

"What's the matter?"

The soldier dismounted and saluted with a military salute: "General, General Wang Xishan, the commander-in-chief of Jiangnan Province, is already at the camp!"

Hearing this, Jing Xi touched the hilt of his sword and narrowed his eyes slightly. Li Dongyang asked: "How many men and horses did you bring?"

"Jing Jun, here are more than 10,000 Wang Xishan's personal guards!"

Jing Xi waved his hand and the soldiers retreated. Li Dongyang stretched out his head and said, "Second Young Master, those who came here are not evil, are we?"

"Hahaha," Jingxi not only didn't panic at all, but he twisted his neck and raised his cheeks, and sneered disdainfully, "I'm afraid he won't come. If he comes now, I'm afraid he will see the reality of our military training. Let's go. , go and meet the commander-in-chief of Jiangnan Road, who has a large number of troops."

Li Dongyang said with some worry: "Second Young Master, we only have eight thousand people, plus these burdens behind us, I'm afraid we won't have much advantage."

"Do you really think he dares to touch me? You, a ninth-level swordsman, can't stand up to two hundred people? Add Lao Lan, let's do it together, no matter what, we are evenly matched!"

"Ahem, Second Young Master, you really think highly of Mr. Li. Two hundred is absolutely no match for him. Hehe, one hundred and fifty is about the same."

Jing Xi rolled his eyes at him and kicked him: "Go and call our Lord Governor, he must sing enough for this scene!"

"All troops, obey the order, keep your swords unsheathed, and return to camp at full speed!"
