The king is the guide of the ministers

.

Cong Mo raised his eyebrows and glanced at Liu Ci, and continued: "And the other road is where the rogue bandits gather. It will be a lot of trouble to go there!"

Liu Ci looked at the map, frowned slightly, and asked, "Where is the fief?"

"here."

From the end point the branch to the bottom right of the map.Liu Ci saw it, but was surprised.The place is very big, but it is full of mountains, and it is impossible to feed a small country with the poor remaining cultivated land.

Liu Ci pointed to Pingchuan beside the mountain and asked, "What are these places?"

Congmo pointed to a large area separated by the river network and said, "This is King Jing's place." Then he pointed to the surrounding land and gave a rough introduction one by one.

"Understood?" After finishing speaking, Cong Mo's slender eyebrows raised.

"En." Liu Ci nodded.

"Then which way are we going?" One of the twelve riders looked at Xuanyuan Lingye and asked.

Xuanyuan Lingye spoke with eyebrows and eyes, but pointed to the map with a branch.Liu Ci remembered that route, he had never said before that it was a gathering place for rogue bandits. "Your Highness, what do you mean?" Twelve Knights were a little surprised.

"That's good. Cleaning up the bandits and suppressing bandits can not only make the nearby residents live and work in peace and contentment, but also take those people for their own use. This is imperative. Even if we don't clear it up this time, we still have to go there in the future. It’s better to take it all in one pot this time.”

Liu Ci looked at the topographic map and said calmly.

He believed that Xuanyuan Lingye would not be content with the status quo, nor would he guard that mere fiefdom.

Moreover, Xuanyuan Zhehao would not allow Xuanyuan Lingye to survive, and King Jing would not allow Xuanyuan Lingye to be a threat to him.No matter what, peaceful coexistence is fundamentally impossible, so Liu Ci has already decided Xuanyuan Lingye's future path in his heart.

After hearing Liu Ci's words, someone among the twelve cavalry said, "It's unknown how many bandits there are. But we only have 18 people in total now."

This time, without waiting for Liu Ci to open his mouth, he followed Mo and said, "This is not a problem. Otherwise, His Highness would not have chosen to take this path."

"Your Highness?" Twelve Cavalry wanted to confirm whether Xuanyuan Lingye meant exactly what Liu Ci said: clearing up bandits and suppressing mountain bandits.

"That's it, let's go there." Xuanyuan Lingye said lightly, "The bandits are mostly civilians nearby. As for the bandits, they burned, killed and looted, so they can't stay."

Cong Mo smiled at the twelve riders: "Catch the king first, no matter how many bandits there are, it's useless. It's getting late, you all go to rest. I'll watch the night today."

Liu Ci looked at Xuanyuan Lingye beside him: "Aren't you going to rest?"

"What about you?"

"I've been sleeping for so long, still sleeping? Pigs are not so powerful!"

Xuanyuan Lingye smiled.

Congmo added some dry wood to the fire, the fire reflected on his face, but he looked a bit lonely.

"I said, the three of us won't just sit like this!" It's really boring for three big men to sit like this.

"You can also choose to lie down!" Xuanyuan Lingye raised his eyebrows slightly.

The corners of Liu Ci's lips could not help twitching.

Why, every time Xuanyuan Lingye said such things, I always felt something was wrong!

After a while, an idea suddenly appeared in Liu Ci's mind: "Let's play cards, the three of you! You two must have never played this before. I will teach you. I guarantee that after you learn it, you will never put it down!"

"What card?" Cong Mo looked up at Liu Ci, and Xuanyuan Lingye also looked at him questioningly.

"Hehe..." Liu Ci smiled and said, "The playing cards from our hometown!"

"It's a good thing for home travel, leisure and boredom. It can be played by one person, two, three or even more people. There are many ways to play, but I don't know how to play complicated ones. I will teach you how to play Landlords and run fast. Quick. This is simple and easy to understand, and you will learn it as soon as you learn it."

Liu Ci spoke with gusto, but Xuanyuan Lingye and Congmo looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Do you have a pen and paper?"

Suspicious from the end, he handed the pen and paper to Liu Ci.

Liu Ci took the pen and paper but paid attention to the cloth bag next to Congmo, and an incredible thought came to him: that cloth bag could not be Doraemon's pocket!Otherwise, why have everything...

Sensing Liu Ci's strange eyes looking at his cloth bag, Cong Mo's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Why are you staring at my bag?!"

Knowing that he had made a fool of himself, Liu Ci turned his head and said with a smile: "Brother Cong Mo has a softer heart than a girl, unlike us old men, ha ha... I was thinking just now, in Brother Mo's cloth bag, I don't know Do you have embroidery needles? If your clothes are torn, you can borrow them to mend them..."

Although Cong Mo was smiling, his complexion was not very good-looking.Staring at Liu Ci with slender eyes, he said with a smile not to be outdone: "Oh! I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be a female celebrity. It really makes someone look at him with admiration. That's a good idea. If the brothers have something to mend in the future, you can do it." I ask Mr. Liu to do it for me!"

Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more noisy, Xuanyuan Lingye interjected: "To play that card you mentioned, do you still need a pen and paper?"

"Uh?"

Only then did Liu Ci come to his senses, but seeing him smiling at Xuanyuan Lingye: "I didn't need it, but I didn't bring the playing cards here! I had to make a deck myself. 54 cards, four kinds color..."

Cut the paper into small pieces of the same size with a sword, and then Liu Ci lay on the ground, drawing on it with a brush.

Seeing Liu Ci's awkward posture of holding the pen, Xuanyuan Lingye frowned slightly, stood up, stretched out his hand to hold Liu Ci's hand holding the pen, and while correcting his posture, said softly: "Why can't you even hold the pen correctly!"

There was not the slightest hint of reproach in his tone.

The last time I saw this situation, I was also surprised. I thought Liu Ci was at least a scholar, but unexpectedly he couldn't even hold the pen correctly.How could His Highness keep such an idiot who can't read or write by his side!

And depending on the situation, His Highness's attitude towards that willow is really...

Congmo frowned worriedly.

With the help of Xuanyuan Lingye, Liu Ci finished drawing 54 cards, which is actually very simple, just write numbers or letters on one side of the paper, and then mark the suits.As for the big and small kings, that's even more convenient, just write directly, big king, little king.

Liu Ci introduced it enthusiastically. Since there was only one deck of cards and three people, Liu Ci chose to play fast.After explaining the method of playing the cards in detail, the two of them seemed to understand, so Liu Ci couldn't wait to deal the cards: "Then let's start now, let's try it out first. We are not allowed to exchange information, nor are we allowed to exchange information!" If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me!"

"Whose house is the three of spades?" Liu Ci adjusted the cards in his hand, frowning deeply.Hands stink!There are a lot of scattered cards, and the biggest one is Q.

"I'm here." Xuanyuan Lingye squeaked.

"You play first."

"33, 44... 88, 99" I saw Xuanyuan Lingye throwing a bunch of them with great pride.

"..." Looking at the cards in his hand from the end, he shook his head.

"Pass." Liu Ci stared at the only four cards left in Xuanyuan Lingye's hand: a single card! !

"Four Aces." Xuanyuan Lingye put down the cards in his hand, raised his eyebrows at Liu Ci: "I won."

Soon afterward, Cong Mo also defeated Liu Ci with an advantage.Liu Ci refused to admit defeat, and clamored to continue playing, but Xuanyuan Lingye and Congmo shook their heads, saying it was too simple and boring.

Liu Ci tidied up the pieces of paper and said, "It's actually very fun. Next time, find someone else and add a deck of cards. That will be more fun."

"You like these?"

Xuanyuan Lingye glanced at Liu Ci, who was still full of thoughts, and asked a faint question.

"Yeah." Liu Ci nodded, narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said, "Almost, it feels good."

Xuanyuan Lingye took the pieces of paper in Liu Ci's hands, looked carefully, then turned around and handed them to Congmo: "After arriving in the fief, find someone to make a few more copies according to the appearance."

Put the pieces of paper into the cloth bag from the end.

"Your Highness, I can just watch the night alone. Go and rest!"

Ever since Liu Ci was brought into the palace, Xuanyuan Lingye hadn't had a good rest.At this moment, he was really tired.

"Aren't you going to rest?" Congmo thought that Liu Ci and Xuanyuan Lingye had that kind of relationship. According to the logic, Liu Ci should go to bed, but he is sitting here now, which is unreasonable!

"I am not sleepy."

"Do you know your Highness's current situation?" Congmo decided to take the opportunity to solve Liu Ci's problem, so as to avoid further delay and trouble.

"know."

In response, Liu Ci shifted his gaze to Cong Mo's body: "You can say what you want to say, there is no need to beat around the bush like this."

Congmo said with a smile: "I appreciate your straightforwardness. Then please forgive me, I hope you can leave His Highness's side."

Liu Ci, who had already guessed seven or eight points about this, was not surprised.But seeing him looking at Cong Mo calmly, he asked: "What if I don't want to?"

He took out a small paper bag from the end, and with a dangerous smile, he opened the paper bag, which contained some light green powder, and sprinkled a little on the fire.A strange fragrance spread out.

Cong Mo wrapped up the remaining medicinal powder, put it into a cloth bag, and said to Liu Ci: "It's very fragrant, isn't it."

"You're not going to tell me that you've poisoned me, are you?"

"I didn't say anything, this is what you think." Congmo laughed.

Liu Ci frowned and said, "I won't leave
