About an hour later, when Yang Rui came out of the county governor's mansion, there were already 5 more quest scrolls in his backpack, which were the 5 quest scrolls about the original humanoid NPC stronghold that Yang Rui had always wanted! In addition to this, there is also a scroll sealed in a square box!

What kind of task is the task scroll in the square box, Yang Rui also doesn't know anything about it, and County Lieutenant Liu repeatedly explained that he can only open the square box and complete the tasks after completing all the things he has entrusted him.

While Yang Rui was satisfied, he also deeply understood the unusual things entrusted by County Lieutenant Liu! At that time, after some careful consideration, County Lieutenant Liu finally said something, explained a lot of things to Yang Rui, and of course fulfilled his promise, providing Yang Rui with a way to hand over all 5 bandit suppression tasks to him!

For this, the price Yang Rui paid was to scrape together 5,000 gold for Liu County Lieutenant within half a year!

Based on the current income level of Dashan Town, the daily yield of sweet potato cultivation can bring tens of gold in income, and it is natural to pay this money! Moreover, the price of grain will continue to rise, and according to the contract signed between Dashan Town and Yipinxiang, this income will continue to increase! And that's not even counting the income from premium brewing!

However, if you spend 5,000 gold just to take on these 5 tasks, it seems like a bit of a big price!

The reason why Yang Rui happily agreed to this condition was that, on the one hand, it was because Yang Rui was bound to win these 5 native humanoid NPC strongholds, which was of great significance to improving Yang Rui's military strength; On the other hand, County Lieutenant Liu gave an additional promise, which Yang Rui really couldn't refuse!

Of course, the promise given by County Lieutenant Liu can only be realized on the basis of Yang Rui's outstanding completion of all the things entrusted to him, and the chance of success is only five or five, and it is too early to talk about this promise!

The first thing Yang Rui did after leaving the county governor's mansion and arriving at Yipinxiang was to open the 5 quest scrolls he got one by one, and check the specific locations of several native humanoid NPC strongholds in detail!

"Wenshui Wenyang Water Thief Cleanup Mission Scroll! Surrounding map: ......"

"Aolai Mountain Pass Liukou Cleanup Quest Scroll! Surrounding map: ......"

"Mazhuang Mountain Forest Strongman Cleanup Mission Scroll! Surrounding map: ......"

"Takahashi Market Town Thieves Cleanup Mission Scroll! Surrounding map: ......"

"Jiang Ji Wutun bandit clearance task scroll! Surrounding map: ......"

The 5 quest scrolls involve 5 proto-humanoid NPC strongholds, among which the Liukou camp in Aolai Pass has been blocked by Yang Rui in the level and has become his personal bag! Another Wenshui Wenyang water thief stronghold was Qiang remembered when Yang Rui took over the task last time, but it has never been clear where its specific location is.

Now that the quest scroll provided a detailed map, Yang Rui discovered that this water thief stronghold was located in the upper reaches of Wenshui, not too far from his Dashan Town! It's closer than the distance from Dashan Town to Juping County! It's just that the county seat is located almost in the south-west direction of Dashan Town, and the Wenyang Water Thief is located in the south-west of Dashan Town.

And the other three strongholds are almost all located in the southeast of Juping County, and they are all some distance away from Yang Rui's current territory, but they are not unreachable!

In the next three days of game time, Yang Rui took the lead in going to the three strongholds of Mazhuang Mountain Forest Strongman Camp, Gaoqiao Town Thieves Camp, and Jiangji Wutun Bandit Camp according to the coordinates given on the mission scroll map.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the storage of the coordinates of the mission scroll map, Yang Rui would probably have found it difficult to find these three places! Their location is so hidden!

The camp is located in the middle of several low valleys, there is only one road in and out of Guò, few people usually go to Guò, and the location of the camp is still some distance from the road, separated by a small lake.

The Gaoqiao Market Town Thieves' Camp is a distribution center for thieves in the town market, and the strongholds are directly scattered in the residential areas around the town market, with a total of three relatively concentrated strongholds and more than a dozen joint locations, which cannot be found without a map!

The Jiangji Wutun bandit camp is directly a small town, usually engaged in related labor and construction like a normal NPC, but on the first day of the new year, the fifteenth day or two nights, they hide their identities and go out to loot collectively! If it weren't for the instructions on the quest scroll, it would be difficult for ordinary people to find out what was boring!

It is worth mentioning that these three humanoid NPC camps are very vigilant, and there are many patrols, and Yang Rui almost fell into them twice, and it was all luck to avoid the vision of those patrol minions. However, because of this, Yang Rui was unable to go deeper and understand the strength of the NPCs in these three camps!

After checking the three humanoid NPC strongholds, Yang Rui was a little relieved. These three locations are either very secretive or difficult to detect, and should not be discovered by other players or game organizations in a short period of time.

Since there is no special thing in the territory in a short period of time, and the item of "Territory Confrontation Competition" in the activity bar has temporarily turned gray after the system update, Yang Rui has almost become a free man, and after spending three days to check the stronghold, Yang Rui stayed in the county for two days, visited Yipinxiang and spent dozens of gold to buy nearly 100 building upgrade drawings that are urgently needed, and then rushed back to Dashan Town!

On the way back to the territory, Yang Rui naturally did not forget to go to the Wenshui Wenyang water thief camp to check it out. As Yang Rui expected, the location of this water thief camp is also very hidden, located in a deep water bay on the Wenshui Corner, the water bay is surrounded by swamps and shallow grass, and it is difficult for anyone to reach here!

After spending more than half a day like this, Yang Rui finally rushed back to Dashan Town, this is because the Wenshui Water Thieves Camp doesn't complain much about the road, otherwise I'm afraid it will take another whole day!

It took six or seven days to walk this time, and after Yang Rui returned to the territory of Dashan Town, he only participated in handling government affairs a little, and then began to practice the basic internal strength of the heart method with all his strength, as well as the matter of increasing the military strength of the territory!

After the plot progresses, it is now the year before the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion ---- the early spring (183) of Guanghe 6! The next large-scale plots will break out one after another, and Yang Rui deeply feels that his own strength and territorial strength are insufficient, and he urgently needs to improve quickly!

There are currently only more than 400 soldiers in the territory of Dashan Town, which is difficult to cope with large-scale missions, events, or plots. Especially in the large-scale plot of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Juping County will be at the core of its storm, and it is difficult for Dashan Village to protect itself at present, let alone what it will do!

Moreover, several things that County Lieutenant Liu explained to Yang Rui this time also need to improve Yang Rui's personal strength and territorial strength! This is also one of the reasons why Yang Rui is eager to improve his strength.
