Chapter 78: The Treasure of the Bandits

e a thousand sheets.The eldest sister in charge was at a loss for words and hurriedly asked Yang Lin if he wanted to sell it to the Zhou familyYang Lin, upon hearing this, replied without hesitation:..."Whoever dares to attack our village, shall meet their doom!"

"Dead!!"

Leaving behind this statement, along with a field of headless corpses, Yang Lin led the people of Kaoshang Village away without looking back.

"Good!"

"Good!!"

The onlookers erupted in cheers once again.

On the way back, Li Yuyao followed Yang Lin and asked, "Will all this really intimidate them"

Yang Lin shook his head. "I don't know."

"Didn't you know" Li Yuyao asked in surprise.

"I don't know if I can deter them, because human greed has no bottom line! Interest will make people crazy, and once a person goes mad, they will do irrational things."

But what I've done today must have been useful!

"Why" asked Li Yunyao.

Yang Lin narrowed his eyes and said, “Because I showed them my bottom line! At the same time, I also made them understand that if we are pushed to the edge, we will also do whatever it takes!”

"My lady, do you know what kind of person is the most terrifying in this world"

Li Yuyao shook her head in confusion.

"He's crazy!"

"Crazy" Li Yuxiang questioned again, puzzled.

"Because lunatics act without order, doing whatever they want, and lunatics don't consider the consequences before acting. They might stab you for no reason, or suddenly turn on you while chatting amiably."

Li Yuxiang suddenly realized: "I understand! You want them to know that you can also go crazy!"

Yang Lin nodded.

"What do you think the Zhou and Zhao families will do next week What you did today has really embarrassed the Zhou family. They surely won't just let it go, right" Li Yuyao asked.

Yang Lin spoke, "If they are smart, they won't come to bother me for a while."

Li Yuxi nodded.

Put yourself in their shoes, if you were a member of the Zhou family, you'd probably be just as dumbfounded right now!

All the bandits sent to apprehend people were dead, their bodies thrown back. If they didn't figure out what happened, they would go after Yang Lin again...Next time, the head thrown back might be their own!

Just as Yang Lin said a moment ago, nobody dares to provoke a madman easily!

"What then"

Li Yuyao pressed further, "Our mountain village's strength, and our bows and crossbows, these can't be hidden. If they want to investigate, they'll find out sooner or later."

Yang Lin let out a cold snort: "By the time they finish their investigation, our strength will be incomparable to what it is now!"

Li Yiyuan's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly understood again.

He recalled a saying that Yang Lin had once made.

>Look at the problem from a developmental perspective!

In just one month, the village of Koushan has undergone such a dramatic transformation!

If given more time, they are sure to grow even stronger!

Thinking of Yang Lin and the mountain village, this terrifying growth rate gave Li Yunyao a chance to regain her throne!

"Right."

Li Yuyao worried, "When I was beheaded, a bandit said that there were still bandits left on Black Wind Mountain. If we don't eradicate them all, those bandits might really come for revenge!" Yang Lin smiled, "I've already sent people. If everything goes smoothly, they should have taken over Black Wind Mountain by now!"

"What"

Li Yuyao was astonished again.

Yang Lin had already made all the arrangements

But she was utterly unaware!

Seeing Li Yuyao's surprised expression, Yang Lin explained: "After we drew up the plan last night, I had my men interrogate those captured bandits. All of them gave us the same answer."

"There are only six bandits on Blackwind Mountain now, and there is only one way up the mountain. Every four hours, two bandits take turns guarding it."

The mountain road is steep and dangerous, easy to defend but hard to attack.

Li Yiyao had just shown worry on her face when Yang Lin continued, "But luckily, during yesterday's interrogation, we got some useful information."

"What information"

Yang Lin's eyes glinted cunningly: "Among the four captured bandits, one was the second-in-command of Black Wind Mountain. He confessed to a secret passage that bypassed the guard posts on the mountain road and led directly to the summit from the back mountain!"

"And this secret passage was built by several bandit leaders for their own escape, so besides the three bandit leaders, no one else knew about it!"

"My lady, haven't you noticed that Kong Liang is gone After we left this morning, I had him lead twelve men and nine crossbows to Black Wind Mountain!"

"Once we're out of the city and the whole army returns to the village, let's go check out that bandit lair together!"

Before leaving the city, Yang Lin took out two hundred taels of silver and gave it to Zhao Fugui, asking him to take people to purchase some food, cloth, and meat, and bring them back to the village to distribute to everyone.

After leaving the city, Yang Lin separated from the main force, taking only Li Yuyao and Liao Hongying with him to travel to Black Wind Mountain.

Although they were only three people, they each carried a crossbow and had plenty of arrows. Even if they encountered a small band of bandits, they would not be afraid.

Heifeng Mountain was more than thirty miles away from the county town. It took two hours for Yang Lin to arrive at the foot of Heifeng Mountain with the two women. As soon as they arrived, he saw Qin Shuang, a member of the guard team, waiting for him.

"Lin Ge!"

Seeing Yang Lin, Qin Shuang hurried over, her face filled with surprise. "Brother Lin, we won! All six bandits were defeated by us!"

Qin Shuang was radiant with joy.

"Are there any injuries Is everyone alright" Yang Lin asked hurriedly.

Nobody was hurt! Everyone is doing well!

Qin Shuang excitedly said, "Brother, the crossbow you gave me is really amazing! Those bandits didn't even know what was happening before they were shot dead by our arrows!"

Hearing that everyone was safe, Yang Lin finally felt relieved.

"Brother Lin, let's go up the mountain! Brother Liang told me to wait here for you. We searched the mountain for a long time and didn't find much money."

"Liang Ge said that the bandits' money shouldn't be just that amount, but we couldn't find it no matter how hard we looked. Liang Ge said that we could only wait for you to come and see if you had any way to solve it."

Qin Shuanggang was just eighteen years old, full of youthful vigor. Today, he came to slay bandits and search for treasure with his comrades. His spirits were always high.

"Oh Let's go take a look."

Although Yang Lin knew there were no bandits left on the mountain, he still strung his crossbow and held it at the ready, always vigilant.

Until they reached the top of the mountain and arrived at the bandits' lair, they saw Kong Liang and others.

"Brother Lin!"

"Lin Ge!"

All the guards rushed forward.

Formerly, they respected Yang Lin because he paid them wages and improved their lives.

After yesterday's events, this group of young men developed a deep respect for Yang Lin!

“Lin Ge, you’re finally here! We searched the entire mountain and only found over a hundred taels of silver. We heard that the bandits on Black Wind Mountain are quite wealthy; it shouldn't be just this much. Do you think the bandits hid the silver” Kong Liang asked hurriedly., I realized her face was just pale and expressionless.Li Yuxiang raised her head and looked into Yang Lin's eyes."What's wrong"Being stared at by those cold eyes, Yang Lin inexplicably felt a bit ner...
