Outside the valley.
Kuntai brought a team of soldiers from the Shenji Camp and several prisoners from the Tiance Army, pointing to the dark valley ahead.
"This is it, right? Are you sure?"
"Yes, yes, brother, I would never dare to lie to you. I saw our Commander Zhong carrying a large box and walking towards this side. He came out a short while later."
The prisoner looked into the valley in the moonlight, repeatedly emphasizing that he had seen it with his own eyes, for fear of missing the opportunity to make meritorious service.
"Brother, you must look carefully."
"Now that you have the money, you must keep your word. Otherwise, we will not let you go, even if we become ghosts."
Kuntai waved his hand: "If you find gold, there's nothing to say! If you don't find gold, there's nothing to say!"
A team of Shenjiying soldiers, holding torches, began to work.
Although there is only one team of soldiers, each of them is a master, and one of them even has experience in tomb robbery.
It didn't take long to figure out the slope's trajectory. It was easy to remember where the mountain torrent wouldn't wash away anything. A person hiding something wouldn't have to go very far in such a short time...
At daybreak, a soldier suddenly cried out from under a large rock:
"I dug it up. I dug it up—"
Kuntai also rushed over to take a look, and indeed found a heavy big box.
Wow, it was actually buried under a big rock.
when.
Kuntai cut off the lock of the box with one knife and quickly opened the rusty lid.
What I saw was a piece of white silver.
When Kuntai saw the silver, his face fell. It wasn't that the silver was bad, but even if this box was filled with silver, how much could it contain?
Thirty thousand taels is the maximum.
After tossing and turning all night, was it all in vain?
"Brother Kun, this box is very heavy. It doesn't look like it's filled with silver." The soldier carrying the box reminded.
"Open it and take a look."
Crash.
After peeling off the top three layers, a golden glow suddenly appeared.
It turned out to be the Golden Knife!
"Golden Wrong Knife!!"
"Hahaha. Good, good, good, that's more like it. Dig around a bit more, is there anything else?"
After some digging, there was nothing else left.
"Okay, carry it back and show it to the general." Kuntai also knew that he had made a great contribution, and immediately ordered the soldiers to carry a box of golden swords back.
During the whole process, although the soldiers of the Shenji Camp were very excited and laughed loudly, no one showed any greed.
This is the invisible benefit of condensing the "military spirit".
They seemed to believe deep down that this thing belonged to General Lin Che and the entire Shenji Camp, and they should not touch it personally. This was a mission, and no matter how many Golden Swords there were, it had nothing to do with them.
4 p.m.
Lin Che returned from outside riding a warhorse.
He was not idle last night either. He went directly to the nearby town to make a large purchase.
There were so many Tiance soldiers living in Leishi City before, but they did not grow fruits and vegetables themselves. Everything was purchased from nearby towns.
So, he just went and bought it.
These town residents knew that something had happened in Lei Shi City but did not flee because they all considered themselves farmers. No matter who beat whom, they still had to eat.
If they escape, they will really have nothing.
Lin Che's grain purchases went smoothly during this day and night. Many families even agreed to escort the grain over, and of course the price would not change.
Lin Che's treasure bag was already full. As soon as he returned to Leishi City, a group of officers lined up to report to him.
"General, the front wall repairs were completed ahead of schedule, but there are still seven or eight tunnels. We know about them, and the Tian Ce Army certainly knows about them too. Do we need to seal them off?"
"General, the Zhenyuan Army marched all night. They are only four hundred miles away from our Leishi City. According to our observations, they have a batch of large Mohist weapons in their army."
"General, the city defense map you requested has been drawn up. The staff is waiting for you to discuss the deployment and battle plan. When are you free?"
"General, this morning, four hundred of our war horses were poisoned. There must be an enemy hiding in the shadows who used poison. They're clearly trying to cut off our high-speed mobility. We've already led the horses to the inner city..."
"General, the Tiance Army that previously abandoned the city and fled have gathered again. They are watching the surroundings of the city day and night, and every three quarters of an hour, they will pass on a message to the outside world."
Kuntai also pushed forward desperately, saying quickly, "General, the mission assigned to us is progressing smoothly. We have already obtained a large amount of banknotes and a box of valuables. We have already moved them to your office."
Among all the news, there was finally one piece of good news that excited Lin Che.
"very good."
Even though Lin Che had turned over and stepped down, Kuntai was still a good money-maker.
He quickly responded to his subordinates' questions while walking towards his office.
In this city of Leishi, only the City Lord's Mansion was special; all other houses were similar. Since the City Lord's Mansion was occupied by Jiang Li, he could only live in the office building next door.
When Lin Che saw the entire box of golden knives, he was also stunned for a moment.
"so much?"
"Yes. I've inquired thoroughly. The imperial court allocated a large sum of military funds, claiming it was a reward for the Tiance Army. But when it came to one of their commanders, a box was withheld..."
Kuntai quickly explained that there were also some banknotes here.
"General, these prisoners are trying to survive. They've really asked every relative and friend they can. They've been here for at least eight to ten years, so they can borrow quite a bit. I expect even more money will come in the next few days."
