Started from listening to music in the brothel and earned billions of bad people

After Xu Jin finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the hall. There was a bit more righteousness on his face, which was quite different from his previous greasy look!

The same scene happened in various places in southern Xinjiang, but it was smoother in some places and more difficult in others. After all, not everyone was as sensible as Xu Xiang.

A day later, Li Xingyun got up from Li Qiuxue's side, carefully tucked the quilt for her, and glanced at Linglong beside him, with a touch of tenderness on his face.

He wants the country!

He is also good at beauties!

Only children make choices, Li Xingyun wants them all!

"Have the strongholds in Shenjiang Province been divided up?" Li Xingyun asked casually after getting up and going to the study, taking a cup of hot tea handed to him by Jing Xinmo.

Originally, the task of dealing with the bandits in Shenjiang Province was given to Jing Xinmo, but Li Xingyun had nothing else to do, so he took it over.

"It's distinguished." Jing Xinmo nodded, took out a piece of rice paper and handed it to Li Xingyun, and began to explain.

"According to intelligence, there are 18 strongholds in Shenjiang Province, the fewest among the seven provinces."

This is not surprising. Shenjiang Province is the center of southern Xinjiang and the most stable place. It is normal that there are fewer bandits and robbers.

"Among them, there are 14 that have committed many evils and need to be eradicated. These 14 are the result of collusion between several major families. They secretly work for the major families, robbing passing caravans and nearby villages. They have killed many people. More than 2400 people have been found!" Jing Xinmo continued to explain.

"More than 2400 people?" Murderous intent appeared in Li Xingyun's eyes!

You have to know that an ordinary village has only a few hundred people, so these 2400 people can still be found, but there are many more who cannot be traced because of the long time!

This means that at least ten villages were massacred by these bandits! Countless civilians and merchants were persecuted by them. These parasites must not be allowed to stay!

"Could the soldiers the four great families are talking about be these kinds of people?" Li Xingyun thought of something and asked Jing Xinmo while looking at him.

When cleaning up the three major families, he did not encounter large-scale resistance, but Li Xingyun had not forgotten what the four major families had said before: they would provide people for Li Xingyun to form an army!

"Yes, not only in Shenjiang Province, there are also many traces of them in the other six provinces!" Jing Xinmo answered truthfully!

"No wonder!" Li Xingyun snorted coldly!

Feeding an army of hundreds of thousands is no small feat! The four major families are wealthy, of course! But since their troops aren't deployed, they're certainly reluctant to keep them around!

"Tell me about the remaining four strongholds!" Li Xingyun no longer paid attention to the strongholds that were sentenced to death, but instead asked about the strongholds that could be incorporated.

"These four strongholds are quite interesting. They were originally four villages, but due to the invasion of the strongholds controlled by the four major families, they gradually transformed into strongholds. Their daily lives are mainly hunting and collecting protection fees. Aside from the occasional fight with other strongholds, they hardly shed the blood of ordinary people!"

Perhaps because of their origins, these four strongholds did not target ordinary people, but they still collected protection fees and tolls from passing caravans.

"How many people are there in these four strongholds?" Li Xingyun nodded. This level of evil was still acceptable! No one is perfect, and ordinary people will steal!

Since they are bandits, it is already pretty good to have achieved this.

"There are about 2000 young and middle-aged people in the four mountain villages, and about 3000 elderly, weak, women and children." Jing Xinmo is obviously a qualified secretary. He has all kinds of information in his head, and he can answer any questions Li Xingyun asks.

"Well, call Yunxuzi and Hou Qing, and let's go." Li Xingyun patted Jing Xinmo's shoulder with satisfaction and added.

"You should have a good rest."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Jing Xinmo did not feel the slightest bit tired physically, but his mind was extremely excited. To get the recognition from Li Xingyun was better than any treasure from heaven and earth!

Half an hour later, three horses galloped towards the mountains and forests outside the city, and bursts of songs continued to come out of the mouth of one of them.

"Pine and cypress: the more you try to hide, the more obvious it becomes!"

"Heavy snow; falling frost!"

"Outside the pass; drifting to the north!"

"The hawk landed on the Songhua River!"

"Hou 66, are you annoying? I've been singing all the way, but you haven't stopped and I'm tired of listening to you!" Li Xingyun glared at Hou Qing in annoyance.

It was quite interesting at first, after all, Hou Qing sang it pretty well, but who can stand it on repeat? Just the same few lines over and over again, Li Xingyun's ears are almost callused!

"Hehe...it's pretty good. I've almost understood it." Yunxuzi took over the conversation with a smile.

"Tasteless!" Hou Qing obediently stopped singing, waved the folding fan in his hand, and slowly uttered two words!

"Are you sick?" Li Xingyun complained, and was too lazy to waste time talking to this mentally ill man. He would find a chance to replace his sheep's blood later!

Let him become Hou Meemie! See how he sings!

The three of them walked for a while, and gradually something started to feel wrong.

"Yunxuzi, are you on the right road?" Li Xingyun couldn't help but ask as he looked at the bare stone mountains around him and the gradually desolate road.

"Um... ahem, it should... probably be fine. That's how it's drawn on the map." Yunxuzi felt a little guilty and immediately picked up the map to examine it carefully.

"He led us the wrong way." Hou Qing's cold voice suddenly rang out.

“Uh…” Yunxuzi looked up and met Li Xingyun’s gaze, and immediately tried to argue.

"Old Hou, you're talking nonsense! How could I possibly have led you the wrong way?"

"You hold the map upside down!" Hou Qing exposed Yunxuzi without mercy.

Li Xingyun took a closer look! Wow! It really is!

"You idiot! You big idiot!" Li Xingyun was so angry that he cursed directly. This is too uncultured! He can still read the map so seriously even though he is holding it upside down!

"Hou Qing, you lead the way!" Li Xingyun snatched the map and threw it to Hou Qing. He was so disappointed with Yun Xuzi!

"Hehe... I haven't traveled far!" Yunxuzi scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

"I don't know how to read it either. Your Highness, please lead the way." Hou Qing handed the map to Li Xingyun as if it was a matter of course.

"Me?" Li Xingyun was confused and wanted to cry!

Why did you bring these two unreliable guys out? You... you can't even look at it yourself!

Of course, bringing these two guys along is not entirely a bad thing. At least you won’t encounter any danger!

"Forget it, let's go back!" Li Xingyun sighed. It was still possible to return by the same route, but no matter what, Xiao Wangzai could not be allowed to rest tomorrow!

We really can't do without him!

"can!"

"I think there's no problem!" The two of them immediately agreed. There was no better way now!

The main purpose is to find the stronghold and the bandits. Otherwise, you can find them by asking a commoner to lead the way!
