"Thank you, Young Master, for saving my life!" In the secret room, the rescued woman once again thanked Ouyang Shuo.
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, turned around and ordered his personal guards to rush to the top of the secret room and find some clothes for the imprisoned woman to wear. Then, he escorted them back to the surface.
After these matters were taken care of, Ouyang Shuo was led by the barbarian girl into the secret room where the bandit leader stored his treasures. The secret room was directly connected to the hall, built on the left side of the hall.
A bandit leader's secret room, of course, didn't have any hidden mechanisms, just a thick wooden door, which was directly broken by the personal guards.
After breaking the door, they saw rows of large chests in the secret room. Opening the chests, they saw all kinds of gold, silver, and jewels inside, emitting a dazzling light that dazzled everyone's eyes.
Ouyang Shuo counted a total of one chest of jewels, two chests of gold, and five chests of silver.
Apart from leaving two chests of silver, the rest of the chests were all put into Ouyang Shuo's storage pouch. What he found strange was that as the treasure chamber of the First Master of the stronghold, the treasures should not be limited to these ordinary valuables.
"Are there any other secret rooms?" Ouyang Shuo asked the barbarian girl.
The barbarian girl shook her head and said, "This commoner only knows this one."
Ouyang Shuo didn't believe it and ordered his personal guards to carefully check again to see if there were any hidden compartments or doors. He himself didn't stay idle and knocked on the wall.
Suddenly, Ouyang Shuo noticed an oil lamp hanging on one side of the wall. The secret room itself didn't have a torch, and it relied entirely on the light from the hall to illuminate the secret room, so the secret room seemed a bit dusky.
It was precisely because of this that this oil lamp seemed out of place in the secret room.
Ouyang Shuo suppressed his excitement, walked forward, and tried to turn the oil lamp. "Bada." Without much effort, the oil lamp was turned by him. Then, a rumbling sound came from the secret room. The innermost wall of the secret room suddenly moved to the sides, revealing a small door that could only allow one person to pass through.
Ouyang Shuo had his personal guards guard outside, and walked into the room alone. The space inside was very narrow, only one or two people could stand. There was a wooden shelf in the middle of the secret room, and on the shelf were three boxes.
Ouyang Shuo opened the first box, and a soft light emitted from the box. When he looked carefully, he saw that it was a pearl the size of a pigeon egg. It felt cool in his hand.
[Cooling Pearl]: Has the effect of dispelling summer heat, calming the mind, and can assist in cultivation.
It was a pretty good support item, but he didn't know if it could speed up the cultivation of inner force.
Ouyang Shuo then opened the second box and saw an ancient book inside. The cover of the ancient book had the words "Five Tiger Saber Sutra" written on it. It was a King-level technique.
Ouyang Shuo guessed that this should be the saber technique used by the leader of the stronghold.
Although the items in the first two boxes were not bad, they were not of much use to Ouyang Shuo, causing him to be somewhat disappointed. He then opened the last box to see what kind of treasure it was.
The third box was much longer than the first two. It looked more like a box. When he opened it, he saw a deep green sword lying quietly in the sword sheath.
[Name]: Azure Edge Sword (Purple Gold)
[Hardness]: 68
[Sharpness]: 70
[Toughness]: 55
[Characteristics]: Broken Blade (When the weapon's hardness is lower than the Azure Edge Sword's, there is a chance of breaking it)
[Remarks]: The Azure Edge Sword is said to be a pair, known as the "Azure Edge Twin Swords". It was originally Liu Bei's weapon during the Three Kingdoms period. Liu Bei attacked Eastern Wu in order to avenge Sun Quan's murder of his sworn brother, Guan Yu. Later, Eastern Wu's governor, Lu Xun, set fire to the camp. Liu Bei fled in a hurry and accidentally lost one of the Azure Edge Twin Swords.
Treasure, it was definitely a treasure!
This was the only Purple Gold weapon that Ouyang Shuo had obtained since the start of the server. It could also be the only Purple Gold weapon in the game.
Other than the usual [Hardness] and [Toughness], the [Sharpness] attribute of the Azure Edge Sword had also been added. More importantly, it came with the [Broken Blade] attribute. With the [Hardness] attribute of the Azure Edge Sword, as long as the opponent's weapon wasn't a godly weapon, there was a high chance of activating the [Broken Blade] attribute.
This was very scary. Think about it, in a battle, your weapon could be broken by the opponent's weapon at any time. If that happened, would you still be able to focus on the enemy? It was very difficult.
It was indeed a good sword. Unfortunately, Ouyang Shuo didn't specialize in swordsmanship. A player's energy was limited. Since Ouyang Shuo had chosen the spear as his main weapon, he wouldn't be distracted.
Ouyang Shuo closed the three boxes and put them in his storage bag. He then walked out of the secret room. After coming out, Ouyang Shuo didn't stay any longer. He ordered the guards to carry the two boxes of silver into the room.
As soon as he walked out of the secret room, Wang Feng rushed over. He couldn't hide the joy on his face.
Ouyang Shuo's heart skipped a beat. He asked, "Did you advance?"
Wang Feng nodded vigorously. "I didn't disappoint Marquis. I was lucky enough to advance to the Intermediate General rank."
"Good, I've gained another general." Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed.
Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to check Wang Feng's attributes.
[Name]: Wang Feng (Gold)
[Identity]: Shanhai County Guard Battalion Commander
[Occupation]: Intermediate General
[Loyalty]: 95
[Commander]: 55 [Martial Power]: 75 [Intelligence]: 40 [Politics]: 35
[Specialty]: Death Battle (Increases troop morale by 20), Rapid Assault (Increases troop movement speed by 20)
[Martial Arts]: Bajiquan Scripture
[Equipment]: Soldier's Radiant Armor, Fine Iron Spear
[Remarks]: Fist Master Lin Yue's eldest direct disciple. Introverted, chivalrous, loyal and courageous.
After Wang Feng returned, he led the Guard Battalion to assist in the search of the stronghold.
At 11 o 'clock in the morning, the search of the stronghold was almost over.
Ouyang Shuo announced that the two boxes of silver seized from the secret room would be distributed to the soldiers who had participated in this operation. This was a reward for the soldiers, and it won a burst of applause and cheers.
After counting, a total of 10850 mountain bandits were captured, of which 4,750 were combat bandits. Excluding the treasures in the secret room, a total of 5,800 gold coins were seized, and countless supplies were seized.
Ouyang Shuo put the important supplies into his storage bag and left the ordinary supplies like food. He had already ordered the Military Intelligence Department to inform the mountain barbarian tribes to receive this batch of supplies.
Ouyang Shuo did this for two reasons. First, it was inconvenient to transport food, and second, it was an opportunity to win the hearts of the people. Ouyang Shuo was very grateful that the mountain barbarian troops didn't give up on cooperating with Shanhai County because they went back on their word.
As for weapons, equipment, and other military supplies, they naturally had to be brought back to Shanhai County. The weapons and equipment of the bandit stronghold were mainly weapons. There were sabers, spears, swords, halberds, and many other strange weapons, which were very suitable for the style of bandits. These weapons naturally couldn't be used to equip the regular army. They could only be entrusted to Snow Rose to be sold to the players.
After the inventory was done, Ouyang Shuo assembled the troops and prepared to escort the prisoners down the mountain and set off for Shanhai County.
At this moment, the barbarian girl led the 120 or so rescued girls to Ouyang Shuo. They all knelt down and sobbed, "Marquis, please take us in."
They had taken advantage of this time to find out Ouyang Shuo's identity.
Ouyang Shuo frowned and said, "Are you not willing to return to your respective tribes?"
The barbarian girl was still the representative. The girl's expression was sorrowful, and her eyes couldn't hide the pain. "Marquis, we are already withered. How can we have the face to return to our tribes and our parents? Even if we go back, we will only bring shame to our loved ones. It is no different from death. Since we were saved by Marquis, I just want to spend the rest of my life in a strange place. I beg Marquis to take us in! "
"Marquis, please take us in!" The girls kowtowed again.
Ouyang Shuo was silent. The scene in front of him reminded him of the girls who were rescued from the bandit camp. Their experiences were so similar. Even though they were rescued by luck, they were restricted by the ancient concept of chastity. They felt inferior and had an extreme inferiority complex.
"What's your name? I remember that there was a man who wanted to rescue you, right? Why, do you also want to settle down in Shanhai County? "Ouyang Shuo asked the barbarian girl.
Ouyang Shuo's words had undoubtedly poked at the girl's sore spot. The girl had been holding back her tears, but they suddenly burst out and she burst into tears.
Fortunately, her bodyguards were tactful and came forward to tell Ouyang Shuo what had happened while he was away.
It turned out that the man who was knocked unconscious by them in the morning had solemnly vowed that once he saw that the bandit camp had been destroyed and he had regained his freedom, he immediately started to despise the barbarian girl for not being a virgin anymore. He abandoned the barbarian girl and went down the mountain alone to return to his tribe.
After Ouyang Shuo heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile. This was really an old story. This was the reality. In the real world, many people were virgins. Moreover, in ancient society, women were born in a weak position.
Ouyang Shuo didn't know how to comfort them. He could only order his bodyguards to bring these girls back.
The main force escorted the captives and supplies to the foot of the mountain to meet up with Zhao Sihu's troops.
At the foot of the mountain, the bodyguards who were left behind by Ouyang Shuo to protect Xue Er also rushed over. When Xue Er saw Ouyang Shuo, she happily flew over and perched on his shoulder.
"Good Xue Er, you've made a great contribution this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
The little fellow's eyes lit up. She said in a childish voice, "Candy ~ ~ candy ~ ~" As she spoke, she unconsciously put her finger into her mouth and sucked.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head with a wry smile. The little fellow had really been led astray by Bing 'er. She had turned into a little gluttonous cat. However, he still kept his promise. He smiled and said, "Okay, when we go back, I'll prepare a big box for you. It's enough." The candy that Xue Er mentioned was the maltose candy that the residents of the territory made from glutinous rice. It was very sweet, but the little fellow loved it so much.
Xue Er's eyes immediately narrowed. The little fellow suddenly flew up and pecked Ouyang Shuo's face. Then, she flew back and forth above Ouyang Shuo's head, looking very happy. (To be continued.)
