Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 509 General Niu Wants to Find Treasure
This time, he had a fruitful harvest, and since he had obtained so many good things, he naturally had to go back and ask for credit. As for the things he obtained in the space, he pretended not to know them. When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he found the switch of the stone wall of the cave and directly blocked the stone wall. At the same time, he said to a subordinate who had just come to report.

"Take nine people and wait here. Say that we killed these bandits outside. After we killed them, the stone gate closed automatically. We don't know how to get in. As for the situation inside, we don't know anything. I'll let him find a way to get in after we get here."

His men had all returned by this time. When they heard what Jia Huan said, they immediately understood what Jia Huan meant. He wanted his team to arrange more people to come and check. At the same time, it was also to let the army know their contribution. While killing these bandits, they had not taken the things inside. Where these things went had nothing to do with him. So they cooperated very well. Ten people were left behind, and the rest followed to assemble all the heads of those people, and at the same time left all the clothes behind.

After doing all this, he rushed back with his men. As soon as he walked out, not far away, a pair of soldiers with hundreds of people came over. These people were Liu Feiyu and his men. They knew that Jia Huan was acting here, but they dared not get close because there was no big battle, so they could only follow behind. Later, they saw the search around Jiang Wenjiang, so they had to withdraw. When they were sure that the fake people were no longer searching, they rushed over, thinking that both sides would suffer losses. However, they did not expect that Jia Huan's men seemed to be fine, but they were holding large and small bags in their hands. Seeing this situation, Liu Feiyu knew that the doctor was not in good condition, so he hurried forward to ask.

"Third Master, have you finished the battle or something? Why did you take so many things? And I see that what you have are just some rags. Could it be that you have found someone? A hidden place or something else?"

He even wanted to say, "Did you leave the village?" He killed some villagers and wanted to pretend to be the enemy's spies, but when he thought about it, there was no village in the mountains and forests where the two armies were fighting, so it was useless to say this. However, looking at those things, he couldn't help but want to mock them. Unfortunately, after hearing what he said, Jia Huan came up very happily, patted his shoulder, and said, "I..."

"Speaking of this matter, I have to thank you. This time, it's all thanks to you. You are right. We did kill a lot of people this time, and there were directly forty or fifty people this time. Moreover, they were not only men from the enemy country, but also bandits arranged by the enemy country in our country. They also stole a lot of our intelligence. At the same time, they were indeed arranged by the enemy. In this way, I not only solved the bandits, but also solved the enemy's spies. It can be said that I killed a group of people and directly established two merits. With these two merits, I can easily become a captain of a thousand men. If I can't even be a captain of a thousand men, then there will be no fairness in this army."

"Besides, didn't you say it, brother Liu? I am from the Jia family, too. With my great contributions, if the generals don't want to target me, then at least they can assign me a guerrilla general to lead 3000 men. I will then recruit you to be my captain, and we will work together to create a better tomorrow. We will fight together, and I will not forget your help when I am promoted to a higher rank. Whenever I am promoted in the future, I will not forget to help you."

What Jia Huan said was very sincere, but Liu Feiyu's face had completely changed. If it was really as Jia Huan said, then he would be in trouble. If Jia Huan really made a contribution and returned, then not only would his plan fail, but Jia Huan would also get the credit. After he returns, General Niu will never look down on him again, and the Jia family will even hate him. So at this moment, he really wanted to kill Jia Huan and his group, but when he saw the people behind Jia Huan, he knew that it was useless to take action. These people were very powerful, and he could not kill them at all, and they might even kill himself.

He wanted to flatter Jia Huan, but he didn't expect that Jia Huan really made a contribution. At this moment, he wanted to die and felt very uncomfortable. He obviously wanted to cheat others, but how did he end up giving credit to others? Moreover, if this matter was known by others, he would be finished. So he didn't care about anything and started to flatter Jia Huan. No matter what, he had to seize the opportunity now. He must not let Jia Huan feel that he was trying to cheat him, otherwise just a fake Huan would cost him his life. Therefore, he could only endure the disgust and flatter Jia Huan.

Jia Huan was very satisfied with Liu Feiyu's compliments, and then he took them back to the barracks. After returning to the barracks, he walked in through the gate of the barracks with a swagger, and asked his men to tell everyone that he had made great contributions and killed a bunch of spies arranged by the enemy country, who were also famous bandits. At the same time, he also joined General Niu's battle at the first time. General Niu, who was discussing things, saw Jia Huan coming back to ask for credit, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but things had come to this point, and he had no choice. Since Dian Huan came to ask for credit, he could only record this credit for him first. After all, so many people were watching him. If he did not follow the rules, he would not be a general in the future. So the matter was settled.

This credit is certain, and no one can take it away. Then, Jia Huan continued.

"General Niu, killing these forty or fifty people is indeed a great achievement, but I think the credit can be further expanded. According to the intelligence we just got, we know that these 50 people should not be all the bandits. There should be many bandits in the cave, but after they put down Broken Dragon, we can't enter the cave, so we can only wait here. I arranged more than ten people to wait outside, and the others came back with me. I also hope that the general can arrange some manpower for us, so that I can catch the others in one fell swoop."

"Of course, these are all my guesses, because when we went to Shandong, the Dragon-Breaking Stone had already been put down, and we don't know what will happen to the Dragon-Breaking Stone after that."

"So we also took the people or things in this cave. There is no way. We don't know who is inside, or what is there. These are all things that need to be found out by the general. Only after you take people to check can we be sure whether there are people or things inside. At the same time, whether this credit can be expanded depends on you, general. After all, I don't have the strength to enter it. Please forgive me."

Originally, Niu Jizhong was ready to admit the matter, since he wouldn't get any benefit from it anyway.

But he didn't expect that things would take a turn for the better, and there would be an extra surprise waiting for him. He knew about these 50 bandits, but he didn't know how many of them there were, and it was not so easy to kill them, so he had never taken action against them. But he didn't expect that they would be killed by Jia Huan, and he hadn't found their treasures yet. General Niu knew the true identities of these bandits, and they must have a lot of treasures and materials in their hands. If they could get these things back, it would make their Niu family several times stronger, so he praised Jia Huan without hesitation and arranged for manpower.

He had to lead his men to break open the cave as soon as possible and take all the treasures in the cave. So General Niu simply wrote a merit book for this event and handed it in. At the same time, he also led 500 of his trusted men into the mountains.

His idea was good, but when he arrived at the forest and looked at the cave entrance blocked by a huge rock on the mountain, he was a little confused. It was too difficult to get into the cave, and according to the calculations of his men, the rock was at least one or two meters thick. Such a large rock, without corresponding mechanisms, would be an impossible task to enter. So he was a little confused at this moment, but although he was confused, he did not give up.

"Such a large piece of Dragon-Breaking Stone, falling directly from above, will have such a large gap on it. So even if we can't crush this boulder, we can still enter from the stone wall above. So what we need to do is to smash the stone wall above, and then after reaching the gap inside, smash a gap in the boulder inside, and we can enter."

"It may take a long time, but you should know that as long as you enter, you can get a lot of benefits from it. I won't say much. You are all my relatives. As long as my subordinates can enter, I will give them ten taels of silver. At the same time, the profits obtained after entering will be divided equally among you. This is a huge bandit organization that has been active in the border for more than ten years. They definitely have a lot of things in their hands. If you can take action, don't be idle."

Hearing General Niu's words, all his men became excited, because they all knew that General Niu was right, these places were things they had never dared to think about before, the wealth of these bandits was definitely huge, as long as they could get all of this wealth, they would be able to make their family live a good life, and even if they could not kill these bandits and take the supplies from them, they could still get ten taels of silver from General Niu, which was equivalent to their military pay for half a year. It would be strange if they were not happy to get so much military pay for no reason, so at this moment they did not hesitate at all and began to act collectively, 500 people acting together could indeed make things faster.

But even if they acted together as 500 people, it would not be easy to break the boulder and enter the cave. After all, the stone wall in front of the Dragon-Breaking Stone was two or three meters high, and it would take some time to break through it. General Niu led them to break the stone wall for more than an hour. When they saw the place where the stone wall was connected to the Dragon-Breaking Stone, everyone was stunned. They did not expect that the Dragon-Breaking Stone was not as deep as the two meters at the entrance of the cave, but was connected to a higher distance above, so the length of the Dragon-Breaking Stone might be longer.

After confirming that this section of dragon stone was more than five meters long, General Niu was stunned. If he continued to smash it like this, he might have to smash another three or five meters before he could break through. But even if he smashed it through, how could he smash it on the other side? This was not the case now. If he smashed it on the other side, it would be even more difficult. So General Niu gave up immediately and waved his hand to his subordinates.

"Alright, stop smashing the stone wall. If you continue smashing upwards, it will be too difficult to enter the cave. So what you need to do next is to fix the Dragon Breaking Stone for me. At the same time, as long as we smash the bottom and fix it with wood, we can enter the cave. We can think of other things later. As long as we can get in and move the things inside out, it will be fine."

As General Niu took action again, it was already dark, but he ordered people to break open the cave in the dark. As a result, it was not until the next day when the sun rose that they finally broke a passage through the Broken Dragon Stone. Then they sent people in. After confirming that there was no danger, General Niu breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Jing Xi said in Chinese.

"Now that the Dragon-Severing Stone has been smashed open, let's act quickly. Kill everyone inside and move out all the treasures inside. I want to see how much these bandits have stolen."

With a wave of his hand, more than 500 people entered, but after a quarter of an hour, they all came out covered in dust. General Niu's face was even more livid. They searched the entire cave but found nothing. Not only that, they also found a pile of rotten corpses in it. No one knew whether these Sanfei thieves did it intentionally or not. The smell was terrible. When they opened the place where the corpses were hidden, they were all disgusted. At the same time, they didn't find anything. At this moment, they felt so uncomfortable!

At this time, Jia Huan represented several deputy generals of the army and led these deputy generals to find General Niu. Seeing the appearance of General Niu and the others, Jia Huan found it funny, but also a little surprised. After asking and confirming that they actually found a shorter and taller corpse inside, he had an idea and stepped forward and said.
