The soldiers were all confused. Wang Shouyi, who had just said that he would not go to Lingshan, suddenly became anxious, his face turned ashen, and he left everyone behind and rushed forward.
Sun Qiuhan's eyes widened, "General?!"
Wang Shouyi turned a deaf ear and the soldiers had to follow.
Fengjian Qingli's tone was gentle, and although her voice was not loud, it was heard by every soldier.
"Strange. Lord Wang, do you know the way to Lingshan? I've been in Sinan County for a few months, and I still can't figure it out."
Sun Qiuhan frowned when he heard this.
Is Wang Shouyi so anxious because of the military pay?
But isn’t his plan today to take over Sinan County? Now that the overall situation has been set, how could he give up this hard-won opportunity just for such a small amount of military pay?
Sun Qiuhan was puzzled and had to follow.
Lingshan was still more than ten miles away from here. Wang Shouyi ran very fast, raising a cloud of dust, as if he didn't feel tired at all.
But the more than a thousand soldiers behind him were exhausted. They were all gasping for breath, pale, and beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads.
Fengjian Qingli looked delicate and thin, but he did not lose his composure at this moment. His expression was calm and indifferent, even better than the soldiers who trained every day.
Sun Qiuhan couldn't help but look at him a little longer, thinking that the people of Sinan County were really secretive.
Soon, a group of people arrived at the foot of Lingshan Mountain.
At this time, the sun had set in the west and the surrounding scenery became dark.
In the distance there were wild smoke and overgrown weeds. A gust of cold wind blew by, and the forest made a rustling echo.
Wang Shouyi took the lead and rushed straight into the forest.
The soldiers hesitated at the foot of the mountain.
There are the most ferocious beasts in the forests at night, and the mountain in front of us is so majestic and tall that it looks like a dormant giant beast.
Just by looking outside you can tell that the road conditions are dangerous, with many steep cliffs and poor visibility at night, making it easiest to get hurt.
It is common sense for people in Lingnan not to go up the mountain at night.
Feng Jianqingli said loudly: "Why don't you follow and take a look? It's hard to see at night. It would be bad if Lord Wang encounters a wild beast. And there are piles of gold and silver treasures. I don't know if other villagers are trying to snatch them."
Hearing the last sentence, all the soldiers' eyes became warm.
Those villagers just now took away a lot of gold ingots and jade pendants of good quality!
If they follow them now, since they can't see clearly at night, they can take advantage of the situation and pick up a gold ingot, which will be enough for them to live for a lifetime!
The soldiers who had been hesitant just now were now scrambling to run up the mountain, each one faster than the other.
Sun Qiuhan glanced at the young man in white who was smiling harmlessly and kindly from a distance, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Why does it feel like Fengjian Qingli is urging the soldiers to go up the mountain?
The soldiers followed Wang Shouyi's trail into the mountains.
Wang Shouyi was probably tired from running, so he was running slowly and was soon caught up by everyone.
Wang Shouyi said sternly, "Why did you follow me up the mountain? All of you, go back! You are not allowed to follow me."
He was so angry that he was only thinking about his gold, silver and jewelry, and forgot about this group of people.
Now everyone knows that there are treasures in Lingshan, and Wang Shouyi's words immediately aroused everyone's dissatisfaction.
With so many treasures, how dare he be so bold as to chase everyone away?
So everything belongs to him? He wants to keep it all for himself?
The forest was dense and thick, with only a few faint rays of moonlight, making the vision dim and unable to distinguish who was who.
A soldier shouted, "General, this is too unfair. We brothers have followed you through thick and thin. Why are you driving us away now that you have the treasure? Besides, we are just worried about you, afraid that you will encounter wild beasts. Your words really chill our hearts."
Wang Shouyi was so angry that he was shaking. He could only utter one sentence, "This is outrageous! How dare you disobey military orders!"
But I didn't dare say much.
It was late at night and he was indeed afraid of encountering wild beasts.
Besides, these soldiers are so stupid and they listen to him, so he can just think of some excuses to trick them when the time comes.
After so many years of working together, he is still familiar with the people under his command.
The sky gradually darkened. Lingshan Mountain was steep, the road conditions were complicated, and the weeds were overgrown.
But the strange thing is that Wang Shouyi's route was very clever, avoiding all the steep rocky depressions and poisonous weeds and vines.
Fengjian Qingli suddenly said something else.
"It seems that Lord Wang is very familiar with the road conditions. It doesn't look like this is his first time here."
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they passed tall trees and came to a cave. There was a gurgling stream, and flat green grass grew on both sides of the river, mixed with a few wild flowers. There were few big trees here, and they could see a full moon. The moonlight was clear, and the view was suddenly clear.
However, the cave was half collapsed and filled with huge rocks and mud, with a few trees in between and messy footprints all around.
It seems that there really was a landslide.
There was a small opening in the cave, which emitted a faint golden light under the refraction of the moonlight.
Wang Shouyi was like a madman. He crossed the stream and started rushing into the cave. The soldiers' eyes were all red. They pushed each other and scrambled to get into the cave.
Before they entered, everyone suddenly heard a long, sad and angry cry.
"ah!!!!"
"My gold! My jade! My years of hard work!"
"These untouchables, untouchables! I'm going to kill them all!"
The soldiers widened their eyes. Although they didn't understand what Wang Shouyi said, they still rushed in.
The entrance to the cave looked small, but it was actually very spacious and open, so most of the soldiers who came in did not feel crowded.
There are not only tables, chairs and benches inside, but even a large carved bed, which is very exquisite and luxurious.
The mountain walls are covered with fist-sized luminous pearls that shine as brightly as day.
