They were indeed rich.
Junior Leopard let Little Du follow behind the navy to clear up the remaining forces on the island. Although it was said to be a remnant, the number was not small. However, Li Sanbao and his elite subordinates were all dead. Although the remaining water bandits were large in number, they had no desire to fight. In addition, Little Du followed them. In less than an hour, except for a few lucky ones who jumped into the river and escaped, the rest were either killed or captured. In the end, there were more than a hundred water bandits who were tied up and escorted to the Broken Dragon Beach.
Junior Leopard was not in the mood to look at them. His mind was all on the spoils of war.
He, Wang Cheng, Jiang Xiao and the others arrived at the port first. Zhu Ba led a group of people to search for the property left by Li Sanhe.
As one of the most powerful water bandits on the Luo River, Junior Leopard believed that Li Sanbao must have a lot of wealth. In fact, most of the navy thought so.
Because there was a large group of captives, it was very easy to find the location of Li Sanbao's Treasure House, although there was no real confidant of Li Sanbao among them.
When Junior Leopard followed Zhu Ba to Li Sanbao's treasure house, his eyes were immediately dazzled by the gold and silver treasures inside. No wonder everyone wanted to be a water bandit. Wasn't it too profitable to do this business without any capital?
Not to mention other things, there were at least more than 200,000 taels of gold and silver. The jewelry, jade and pearls piled up there were not included. If they were included, the value would at least double.
Apart from these, there were also many weapons and armors piled up. These weapons and armors were nothing in Junior Leopard's eyes, but to Wang Cheng and the others, they were extremely envious. These armors were much stronger than the standard weapons of the Navy of Jiang City. Although the quantity was not enough to arm all the navy, it was enough to arm the elites of the navy to the teeth. Just this alone could increase the navy's combat capability by more than 50%.
"Sir, look here!" He looked up and saw that Zhu Ba had found a mechanism from somewhere and opened a secret door in the Treasure House. Behind the secret door was a passageway leading downwards. However, the passageway was not long and could be seen at a glance. It turned out that below the Treasure House, there was a natural hollow. The hollow was not big, only hundreds of feet in circumference. It was cold inside. When he looked closer, he found that there were rows of neatly arranged big cabinets in the hollow. All the cabinets were filled with medicinal herbs, just like a medicine shop.
Zhu Ba, Wang Cheng, and Jiang Xiao were the first to enter the passageway, followed by Junior Leopard.
Zhu Ba moved the fastest. He jumped down the passage and opened a drawer in the cabinet. He took out the medicinal herbs and sniffed them. Immediately, a surprised smile appeared on his face. "Your Excellency, these are — —!"
"I know, these are all herbs for body tempering!" Junior Leopard interrupted him and then opened a drawer. He also grabbed a handful of dried medicinal herbs and sniffed them. "Why, are you interested?"
"No, no, I'm not interested in it!" Zhu Ba hurriedly said, his eyes rolling. "I'm only interested in those things outside!"
The few people present were all smart people. They all understood that these medicinal herbs were not fated with them. Among the three, even Jiang Xiao, the youngest, was already 33 years old. His cultivation was only at Level Three and his practice was not a rudimentary Internal Qi method. Even if the medicinal herbs for body tempering were placed in front of them, it would not be of much help to them. Even if these medicinal herbs were in their hands, their final choice would be to sell them for money. They would not really use them for body tempering. Now that Junior Leopard was present, of course, they showed their attitude at the first time.
"The things outside!"
Thinking of the gold, silver, and jewelry outside, Junior Leopard smiled. "Brothers, you've worked hard today. It's time to reward you. Later, let Wang Datong come and divide the things outside. As for how to divide them, you decide!"
"Thank you, Your Excellency!" The three of them hurriedly thanked him, especially Zhu Ba. His face was already full of smiles. He grinned widely, showing his big yellow teeth. The stench of his teeth made Junior Leopard frown.
"Your Excellency, do you think we should ask someone to move all the things here back to the barracks?" Wang Cheng asked.
"Move back to the barracks?" Junior Leopard raised his eyebrows and seemed to think of something. "Commander Wang, don't you think that our navy barracks are a little too small?"
"Too small?" Wang Cheng was stunned at first and then understood. "Your Excellency, you mean …"
"This River Heart Island is not bad. From now on, our navy barracks will be set up here. Commander Wang, you've been in the army for a long time. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"
"It's not a big problem!" Wang Cheng thought for a while. "Although the location of the barracks is fixed, we can set up a training ground here. Anyway, River Heart Island has always been occupied by Li Sanbao and Jiang City has never cared about it. Now that we've conquered it, it's a pity not to hold it in our hands. However, there may be some joints that need to be opened up …"
Speaking of this, Wang Cheng looked a little hesitant.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Don't be afraid of spending money. As long as this matter is done, we'll have plenty of money in the future!" Junior Leopard said. "I'll leave the specific operation to you. I don't know about this aspect!"
"Your Excellency, rest assured. I'll handle this matter properly. However, I may need Your Excellency to say something to the Magistrate and the Garrison!"
"No problem!" Junior Leopard said. "I believe the Magistrate and the Garrison will give me face!"
"Your Excellency, there's something here!"
While they were talking, an excited voice came from above.
"What did you find?" Jiang Xiao asked loudly.
"It seems to be a martial arts secret manual!" The voice above answered. It was another captain of the Navy of Jiang City, Yuan Long.
The few people in the cave looked at each other with surprise and joy in their eyes. They went out of the secret cave.
"Your Excellency, look!" Yuan Long saw Junior Leopard and the others coming out and hurriedly handed a half-opened sandalwood box to Junior Leopard.
Junior Leopard didn't stand on ceremony and took a look. There were two books inside. One was a thread-bound book with yellow bast paper. On it was written the Five Great Masters of Cross Training Diamond Body. It was the unique skill that Li Sanbao relied on to become famous and dominate the Luo River. The other book was just a black leather scroll made from an unknown animal's skin. On it was a naked human figure with various lines drawn on it. There were also densely packed annotations around it. Even though Junior Leopard was used to seeing good things, his expression couldn't help but change when he saw the things recorded on this leather scroll.
"Flipping Sky Seal!"
Flipping Sky Seal was a secret skill. Although Junior Leopard didn't know how powerful it was, he knew it was definitely an extremely brilliant secret skill just by looking at the complicated changes of Internal Qi operation introduced on the leather scroll.
Seeing the change of Junior Leopard's expression, Yuan Long couldn't help but feel nervous. He secretly regretted opening the box in a moment of excitement.
In Jianghu, there were some unspoken rules for this kind of thing.
In a gang conflict in the martial arts world, after one faction destroyed the other, when collecting the spoils of war, the winning faction's leader would usually receive most of the spoils, especially the martial arts secret manuals, elixirs, and the like. These things not only needed to be received by the leader, but also had to be received by the leader personally to prevent too many people from knowing the secret and leaking it out, which would cause trouble.
Just like just now, when he found the sandalwood box, he should have handed it to Junior Leopard immediately instead of opening it casually to see what was inside and then calling Junior Leopard. This was a big taboo.
"It's just two martial arts skills. It's no big deal!" Junior Leopard said. He casually flipped through it twice and read the Cross Training Diamond Body from beginning to end. Then he picked it up from the box and handed it to Wang Cheng. "Commander Wang, I'll leave this book to you. Choose some brothers with good aptitude who can endure hardship and teach them this martial arts skill!"
"Ah?!" Everyone present was stunned. They were all very surprised by Junior Leopard's decision. In Jianghu, it wasn't rare to pass on martial arts skills to subordinates. However, generally speaking, they would only pass on martial arts skills to their trusted subordinates. Who would be like Junior Leopard, casually taking out a secret manual and letting others handle it casually? He even let others choose a group of brothers with good aptitude who could endure hardship to pass on this martial arts skill. This was really too surprising.
Was he really just here to go through the motions of the Navy of Jiang City to gain some experience? Why did it seem like he wholeheartedly wanted to cultivate his trusted subordinates to dominate a region in Jiang City?
Wang Cheng didn't think much of it. He happily took the secret manual of Cross Training Diamond Body. Junior Leopard didn't care about this martial arts skill, but in the eyes of Wang Cheng and the others, it was a priceless treasure. Li Sanbao had relied on this martial arts skill to dominate the Luo River for more than 10 years. Its power had long been verified by them. A group of Navy had suffered a lot from this martial arts skill. When the Navy was at its peak, more than 50 warships attacked the Broken Dragon Beach. Li Sanbao relied on this martial arts skill to resist on the Broken Dragon Beach. Finally, he persisted until the other water bandits led by the Multiple Chain Dock came to help. They fought a beautiful annihilation battle on the Broken Dragon Beach and defeated the Navy of Jiang City. The Navy of Jiang City had also been completely defeated in that battle.
Therefore, the few leaders of the Navy were very familiar with this martial arts skill. Of course, they coveted it very much. They originally thought of ways to get Junior Leopard to teach them. Who knew that Junior Leopard didn't even need them to ask and directly handed over the book to them. Therefore, Wang Cheng was so happy that he couldn't find the north.
Only Jiang Xiao turned his gaze and looked at Junior Leopard. He concentrated his eyes and pondered. No one knew what he was thinking about.
"In addition, there's this secret skill. Although it's very powerful, it requires at least Level Five Internal Qi cultivation to practice. When your cultivation reaches that level, I'll naturally teach it to you!"
"Your Excellency, you're exaggerating. We're already satisfied to get this Cross Training Diamond Body. How can we covet that secret skill?" Wang Cheng hurriedly said.
"Well, that's all for today. Jiang Xiao, Wang Datong, you check the things here. Commander Wang, let's go out first. We'll return to Jiang City early tomorrow morning!"
