Seeing the nervous expressions of the girls around the little girl, Yang Rui obviously felt that something was wrong, but he could not pinpoint it. Just as he was about to ask, the three players who were hiding in the bushes saw that Yang Rui had the situation under control and slowly came over.
"That … brother, I'm sorry, before …"
"Yeah, we're just here to do a scouting mission. Our joke before was a bit too much, please don't take it to heart!"
"Yeah! Yeah … Brother, you're definitely super skilled! "
The three players tried to smooth things over and said a lot of good things. He did not know what kind of mentality they had, or if they were used to doing this in real life, but they could have just walked away. That would have made them look more righteous!
Yang Rui could not stand people's meaningless chatter, whether it was flattery or mockery. At that moment, another small group of Yellow Turbans came over. Yang Rui used that as an excuse to send the players away. He tied up a total of nine female Yellow Turbans, including the little girl, and threw them into the bushes. He then focused on farming the Yellow Turbans mission.
"System Notification: Congratulations, you have successfully stopped the 167th small group of Yellow Turbans. Obtained 1 Plot Mission Verification! Accumulated points can be exchanged for a Plot Mission Special Item … "
After a whole morning of farming, Yang Rui had obtained close to 100 Plot Mission Verification, which was almost 80% of the previous day's harvest! After capturing the eight female Yellow Turbans, Yang Rui captured another group of 30 Yellow Turbans' family members. In addition, he had also rescued a group of more than ten women! Yang Rui had no choice but to free up his hands and arrange for these people to be placed on the ship.
The other two groups were in a similar situation. Li Dong and Zhang Chen also captured one or two batches of Yellow Turban family members, and Li Dong even rescued two batches of more than 30 women. Yang Rui couldn't help but find it funny. Li Dong was going to use "Women's Fate"!
In the afternoon, Yang Rui could clearly feel that the frequency of Yellow Turbans' appearance had increased. Not only were there small groups of Yellow Turbans, but there were also one or two groups of cavalry coming out of the Yellow Turbans' camp. They were searching for something along the three routes! Maybe the Yellow Turbans' camp had discovered the abnormality in the small groups of Yellow Turbans? Were they here to investigate the situation? Could it be that the three players from before had come up with something? They had not come out since they approached the Yellow Turbans' camp!
Regardless of the purpose of these cavalry, Yang Rui only's job was to take them down. These cavalry were usually in groups of 10. They were different from the Fourth Grade Yellow Turbans that Yang Rui had encountered before. Judging from the complexity of their equipment, they should be soldiers specialized in combat. They were not as light and portable as the scouts from before!
However, these cavalry were still Fourth Grade soldiers. Yang Rui's men on the three routes could deal with them easily. Therefore, these cavalry were only here to deliver skill books and equipment to Yang Rui!
In just a single afternoon, Yang Rui had obtained forty-one [Mounted Warfare] skill books, thirty-eight [Cavalry Spear] skill books, and one hundred and fourteen [Riding] skill books from these Fourth Grade knights alone. His harvest was comparable to half the previous night's work!
And this was only the bonus from farming the 'small groups of Yellow Turbans'! Due to the increased frequency of the small groups of Yellow Turbans, Yang Rui obtained more than 150 story mission identification in one afternoon. The total number was more than 350!
In a single day, he had obtained more than 900 gold coins! Based on this level of income, Yang Rui's two days of income would be enough to pay for the monthly mortgage!
Disregarding the other miscellaneous items, the small groups of Yellow Turbans had dropped over 330 sets of Second Grade and Third Grade upgrade skill books, weapons, and equipment. That was a sizeable haul! Apart from that, there were also other miscellaneous items that were hard to calculate.
What troubled Yang Rui the most was … In a single day, Yang Rui had managed to capture nine Yellow Turbans. He had captured 106 of their family members and saved 68 civilian women! The arrangement of these prisoners and civilian women had become a thorny problem! Yang Rui couldn't think of a good solution. He could only arrange for them to stay in the broken ship for the time being.
It wasn't until midnight that Yang Rui and Li Dong once again reached the vicinity of the Yellow Turban Army's main camp. However, they had very little to show for it. The Fourth Grade scouts that had been active the night before were nowhere to be seen. Their positions had all been taken by squads of Yellow Turban Soldiers. Yang Rui had no choice but to fight these ordinary soldiers this time! He didn't obtain a single cavalry skill book or equipment!
The sky gradually brightened. Yang Rui and Li Dong were preparing to return to the ship when suddenly, there was movement in the Yellow Turbans' camp! The two of them heard the sound and approached the camp. After a hundred meters, they could clearly see what was happening in the camp!
At this moment, there were many torches lit in the Yellow Turbans' camp. Using the light from the torches, Yang Rui discovered that the Yellow Turbans had started to leave! The Yellow Turbans were moving towards the west. Yang Rui was at the east of the Yellow Turbans' camp, so he could see the tail of the Yellow Turbans' army.
Perhaps because they were at the tail of the army, the Yellow Turbans had set up many patrols. There were squads of ten soldiers scattered around the camp, and there was even a square formation of cavalry at the very back! There were over five hundred cavalry in this square formation. They were all Fourth Grade cavalry that Yang Rui had encountered a few days ago. In fact, Yang Rui even discovered a cavalry commander at the very center of the formation!
This cavalry commander didn't look like an easy person to deal with. He had a unique large lance, a unique white steed, and white armor. He looked very powerful! While Yang Rui was observing him, the cavalry commander subconsciously glanced at Yang Rui's position.
With Yang Rui's current strength, it was very difficult for him to discover a hidden target more than a hundred meters away. This cavalry commander's strength should also be at this stage. If he had really discovered Yang Rui's existence, he would have rushed over to check it out!
"The Yellow Turbans are leaving in the direction of Ying Chuan!"
Looking at the Yellow Turbans slowly moving towards the west, Yang Rui was thinking about what to do when the system notification sounded again.
"System Notification: You have completed the mission 'Stop a small group of Yellow Turbans near Xu Tian County' in the district storyline [Battle of Ying Chuan]. You are rewarded with 50 verification of the storyline mission!"
"System Notification: You have completed the first part of the district storyline [Battle of Ying Chuan]. You can proceed to the second part. Please select the second part of the storyline mission:
1. Track the Yellow Turbans in Xu Tian County and find an opportunity to disrupt their normal movements.
2. Participate in Zhu Yan's vanguard. Confront the Yellow Turbans head on …
3. Investigate the activities of the Yellow Turbans in Ying Chuan and Xu Tian County.
4. Clean up the Yellow Turbans around Zhu Yan's tribe …
.....
10. Investigate and patrol between Zhu Yan's tribe and Xu Tian's Yellow Turbans …
.....”
Yang Rui looked at it and understood that the district storyline mission was divided into parts! The second part of the storyline mission also had more than ten branches to choose from. This gave Yang Rui a lot of ideas.
Of course, the players could also choose not to choose the storyline mission and directly participate in the district storyline. They could still enjoy double the merit points, points, and experience points. The verification of the storyline mission could also be obtained!
However, in that case, the verification of the mission would be limited to the number of people killed. There would be additional rewards after completing a part of the system mission. Yang Rui's first part of the storyline mission had obtained an additional 50 verification of the storyline mission!
"I choose the first option!"
"Option 1. Track the Yellow Turbans in Xu Tian County and find an opportunity to disrupt their normal movements. Are you sure? "
"Yes …"
Following the principle of greater freedom, Yang Rui chose the first option in the list. Continue to track the Yellow Turbans in Xu Tian County and find an opportunity to wreak havoc! There was another reason why he chose this option. Yang Rui was still envious of the Cavalrymen in the formation. He wanted to find an opportunity to get more Cavalryman Skill Books and related equipment.
Yang Rui also hesitated on the second option. Join Zhu Yan's vanguard and fight against the Yellow Turbans! This was probably a scenario that every gamer wanted to participate in! Yang Rui was the same. However, following the Yellow Turbans required more continuity. Yang Rui already understood many aspects of the situation. It would not be so easy to change to a new scenario!
It was not difficult to track the Yellow Turbans. The problem was that Yang Rui had gathered a lot of prisoners and refugees, which became a burden. Yang Rui didn't have a good solution at the moment. He could only put most of these people into a small spatial pouch. There were a hundred and ten of them in total. The rest of the rescued girls were escorted by Zhang Chen and the Fifth Grade bandit leaders. They followed behind Yang Rui and Li Dong from afar.
Fortunately, the Yellow Turbans were marching in a large scale and did not move very quickly. Otherwise, Zhang Chen and the others would not be able to keep up! Xutian County had a complicated terrain to begin with. It was also because of this reason that Cao Cao and Emperor Xian hunted here. Therefore, the Yellow Turbans could not move very quickly even if they wanted to!
However, due to the Yellow Turbans' cavalry formation, Yang Rui could not find a suitable opportunity to harass the Yellow Turbans. He only managed to kill a few groups of Yellow Turbans who had strayed from the group. The harvest was very limited!
Half a day later, the Yellow Turbans had reached Xutian County. The rear army was still hundreds of kilometers away! Since it would take some time to prepare a camp, the county could not accommodate such a large number of Yellow Turbans. They could only choose to build a new camp around the county!
Therefore, the Yellow Turbans' rear army slowly stopped. The cavalry formation at the rear of the army rushed forward. They probably had another mission! Yang Rui also obtained his first opportunity to make a move in half a day.
Yang Rui did not target the Yellow Turbans' rear army. Instead, he targeted a low-level village five kilometers away from the rear army! A small group of Yellow Turbans' family members who had strayed from the group temporarily stayed in this village.
Although the Yellow Turban Army was powerful, they also had families and supplies that needed to be escorted. Along the way, Yang Rui had been paying attention to the location of the other party's supplies, but he did not find anything. He thought that it should be protected by the front army or the middle army.
The protection of the Yellow Turbans' family members was more lax. Along the way, there were even a few stragglers who had strayed from the group and moved into the villages that the Yellow Turbans had taken over. Yang Rui did not attack them. Firstly, the military force he brought with him was not allowed. Attacking them would easily draw the attention of the Yellow Turbans. Secondly, even if he captured the family members, it would restrict Yang Rui's movements.
