Chapter Seventy-Five: Lost and Found
Another day has passed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the early morning, the weather is slightly cool.
At this time, in the dense forest west of Wushan Town, there were figures moving again.
It's just that this time, these figures don't belong to Zhao Banshan.
Ji Gang and Su Wushi, who were dressed in brocade guard uniforms, walked in front.
Behind them were two hundred Ming soldiers in battle armor.
These soldiers, today, look excited.
Because they know what they're going to do today, and they're happy to do what they're going to do next.
"Brother Ji, how are your injuries?"
Su Wushi opened his mouth and said with concern.
For Ji Gang's life-saving grace on the mountain that day, he also remembered it in his heart.
Ji Gang's complexion is already much better than a few days ago, and at least he can come and go freely, and he can also lead troops to search the mountains here.
"Brother Wushi, after these three days of rest. I'm fine, just wait for the wound to heal on its own."
The injury suffered by Ji Gang was originally an external injury, but did not hurt the internal organs.
And those who practice martial arts have true qi to protect their bodies. Therefore, the healing of these skin injuries is much faster than that of ordinary people.
In addition, Ma Shouichi had already transferred him to a safe place in the rear before the battle began, so Ji Gang did not participate in the battle the night before.
"Well, that's for the best."
……
An hour has passed.
Led by an enemy captive, the crowd came to the cottage base camp where Zhao Banshan belonged.
However, the base camp of the enemy army here is not as gorgeous or rich as everyone imagined.
At most, it was only a few people compared to Shi Wuwei, and the mountain that he had fought on before was a little bigger.
This mountain is about 200 zhang high. The widest part of the foot of the mountain is only more than 30 zhang.
It's just that not even a single tree is missing from this mountain.
But it's not unusual.
Zhao Banshan originally brought 20,000 people to camp here. And the food, drink, and residence of these two people depend on the trees on this mountain.
Even in the end he had only 6,000 men left.
But the daily consumption of these 6,000 people is still extremely large.
From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there is only one dirt path that is spacious enough for six or seven people to walk side by side.
On both sides of the road, all the way to the top of the cottage, there are dilapidated but still sheltered houses from the rain.
It is conceivable that these bandits have not had a good life in the past few years of hiding in this mountain forest.
Even if they commit murder and robbery every day, how can they support such a huge army?
These 6,000 to 20,000 horses, even if the imperial court is allowed to do so, the annual expenditure is definitely not a small amount.
Because it often takes ten ordinary peasants to feed one soldier. These 6,000 to 20,000 horses would require at least 60,000 peasants to be able to feed.
…………
Everyone was now on the top of the mountain.
This is already the most luxurious part of the cottage, but the houses here are only better than the dilapidated houses they saw along the way.
In fact, the layout of this base camp is no different from the place where Ji Gang went with Shi Wuwei earlier, but the scale is much larger.
There is also a large, wooden hall in the center. On weekdays, it is only used for Zhao Banshan to receive intelligence, and the entire base camp is built around the central base camp.
Under the leadership of the captive, Ji Gang and Su Wushi only brought three soldiers to a cellar.
Because, this place is Zhao Banshan's warehouse, and the things that the bandits sometimes loot may also be placed here.
And Ji Gang brought Su Wushi here to find the Taiyi True Scripture of the Taoist Sect.
It can be said to be a warehouse, but there is basically nothing in it, only a few weapons or some miscellaneous items.
It's actually not big here, one zhang long and one zhang wide.
Therefore, after searching inside and out, Su Wushi still couldn't find any clues.
So, he sighed in frustration: "This Zhao Banshan is too picky." Let's not mention that there are no treasures in this warehouse, why doesn't he even set up a secret room."
"Hahaha, Brother Wushi is really joking." Ji Gang saw that Su Wushi was also very arrogant along the way, and he didn't care about the appearance of being a senior brother of the Dao Sect, and a trace of envy also rose in his heart.
He also seems to have some yearning, the real rivers and lakes.
In fact, for a moment, he also wanted to follow Shi Wuwei and a few others.
At least, there is talk and laughter, happiness and enmity, and there is no need to worry about trivial matters in the court.
However, as soon as the palace gate entered the deep sea, and the palaces and palaces that looked like they were resplendent and magnificent, how could he be able to walk if he wanted to.
"Haha, Brother Wushi. There shouldn't be anything else here. The captive said that Zhao Banshan should keep his treasures in his own room." Ji Gang saw that Su Wushi was still frustrated, kicking east and west. also laughed out loud.
"Hey, okay. Alright then, let's go there first."
……
A moment later.
I saw Su Wushi and Ji Gang looking carefully in Zhao Banshan's house.
However, they had been looking for nearly three cups of tea, but there was nothing but a few scattered pieces of gold and silver jewelry.
"Hey, where did this Zhao Banshan hide the Taiyi True Scripture. Huh? Brother Ji, do you think they didn't get the scripture at all?"
Su Wushi was asking with his back to this Ji Gang.
He was still rummaging through the cabinets, but he couldn't find anything useful.
But suddenly, he heard Ji Gang exclaim from behind, "Brother Wushi, come quickly, there is something."
When Su Wushi heard this, he didn't say a word, so he directly used Tiyun Vertical and flashed to Ji Gang's side.
"Haha, Brother Ji, have you made any discoveries?". At this time, Su Wushi was looking excited, his hands were still rubbing, and he seemed to be eager to try.
Actually, this house is not that big. Su Wushi just had to walk over.
But he is so active that he can't stop, and his hand is like flowing water.
At this time, Ji Gang also brushed the hair on his face that was messed up by Su Wushi's body style, and smiled awkwardly, "This....Dao Sect's Tiyun Zong, it is really... It's a name for itself."
"Hahaha, Brother Ji. Quick, don't talk about anything else, tell me what the hell you've found? ”。
Ji Gang saw that the other party was in a hurry, so he smiled and pointed to the southeast corner of Zhao Banshan's wooden bed, the wooden board on the bed board that had been opened by him.
Su Wushi jumped lightly again and rolled onto the bed.
"Hahaha, it's really there."
He had already taken out the true scripture, and looking at this scripture with a dark blue cover, he also sighed, "Hey, after thirty years, I finally found this scripture."
