Although Song Yimin and his gang were considered bandits, they were not born and raised in the mountains, so they were relatively reasonable and never thought of taking away other people's things from the beginning to the end.
Moreover, this is a mutual assistance and mutual benefit for them. Black Tiger Mountain is indeed a hazard. If they can get rid of this danger as soon as possible, it will be very helpful for their future development.
In fact, Song Yimin was basically certain that Shen Yan and his companions' goods were taken away by people from Heihu Mountain, because this was not the first time that such a thing had happened to Shen Yan and his companions.
The exact same routine happened once the day after General Yi's death, so they had long suspected that there was a Black Tiger Mountain on their own mountain, and their undercover agents would pass their news there.
This conclusion was reached because when the incident happened, Song Yimin did not publicize the fact that General Yi had passed away, and only a few people knew about it.
Therefore, it can be basically concluded that the person who betrayed them should be one of the people they usually trust, that is, one of the people who knew the news that General Yi had passed away.
This is a good opportunity to catch the undercover agent.
"I brought some weapons with me this time. They are all made in Lucheng. The quality is fully guaranteed, and they are not under the jurisdiction of the court. You can use them without worry. This is also one of my conditions. I wonder if such a condition can tempt you?"
When it comes to food and fodder, Lu Daxin can still make his own decisions, but when it comes to weapons, he can only listen to Shen Yan's own opinions.
Weapons are the core strength of a team. In this era, only cold weapons, swords, spears, swords and halberds, which are easy to use, are the top priority.
Many mountain strongholds or sects would secretly make some weapons to hide them from the imperial court's inspection.
Because the imperial court prohibited its subordinates from privately manufacturing weapons, this was done to prevent uprisings or military riots.
The weapons used by these mountain bandits are nothing more than some convenient tools such as axes and shovels that can be used for farm work at ordinary times and for fighting at critical moments.
If they could obtain such a wave of suitable weapons before other strongholds, then they could regain their prestige and at least not suffer from their harassment.
Although their stronghold was impregnable, it could not withstand the repeated surveys and harassment from other hilltops, which was really annoying.
"This condition is indeed tempting, but we may not be able to help you with all the favors you mentioned. We are just guessing and have no real evidence."
The condition was indeed very generous, and Song Yimin was tempted, so he agreed, but he did not say enough.
Seeing that they agreed, Shen Yan felt relieved. The strength of their village should not be underestimated. If they agreed to help him, then things would be much easier to solve.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Song, if you can complete this matter, we will definitely pay you. If you cannot complete it, we will not trouble you and will even leave you 1/2 of the goods as agreed."
Chen Yan said it very nicely. Even if the task cannot be completed, he will be rewarded. Who wouldn't be tempted by this?
So Song Yimin thought about it again very carefully, and sure enough, there was nothing wrong, so he agreed immediately.
Song Yimin had a condition, which was that Shen Yan had to write a piece of writing to prove what he said and ensure that it would come true.
This has always been Song Yimin's habit, and Shen Yan couldn't refute him, so Song Yimin invited Shen Yan and the others to the mountain village.
The place where the chief of Shitouzhai lives is a very big house with many entrances and exits. The house has very beautiful lighting and there are some asparagus bamboos planted in the middle of the courtyard. It looks very elegant and does not seem like a place where warriors live.
They came to a place where the entire hall was hung with white banners and several stools for people to kneel on. It seemed that this was General Yi's mourning hall.
Seeing this, Yi Yun's eyes became red again. His father's body was lying in wait, and the village was in turmoil. He had no way of solving these problems.
Yi Yun usually likes to practice martial arts with his father, and it was his father who taught him martial arts. The relationship between father and son is very good.
Seeing his expression, Song Yimin frowned and said, "Go and keep vigil for your father. I will take care of the rest."
Yi Yun was also very confident in Song Yimin. After hearing his words, he nodded, walked over quickly, and knelt in the middle of the hall. There were also several women kneeling in the middle of the hall. They seemed to be the family members of General Yi.
Song Yimin led them out of the hall and walked into a small study next to the hall. Although the study was small, it had everything it needed, and even had a very exquisite screen.
However, this place doesn't look like the study that General Yi usually uses. The beautiful small characters are obviously written by a scholar. Song Yimin walked to the front of the table skillfully, picked up a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote the treaty they had discussed before directly on the paper.
The handwriting of Song Yimin was exactly the same as the handwriting of some poems placed on the desk. It seemed that if this was not Song Yiming's study, then General Yi often viewed the handwriting written by Song Yimin.
