With the principle of quantity over quality, Zhang Kuang gathered nearly 200 bandits from Black Wind Mountain into his Great Green Mountain.
For this reason, Zhang Kuang had specially made a trip to Black Wind Mountain. Because Black Wind Mountain was close to Kaiping Prefecture, the village was located in a poor ravine. The poor mountains and rivers directly extinguished Zhang Kuang's thoughts of moving to a bigger house.
"Forget it. I'll just develop my Daqing Mountain in peace.”Zhang Kuang sighed helplessly.
"Don't be unsatisfied. Although the name of this Great Green Mountain doesn't sound good, the mountain behind it is steep and there is only one path up the mountain. Moreover, the mountain path is full of twists and turns. Not only is it easy to defend and difficult to attack, the ground on the mountain is flat and rich in resources. "You're the only one who's complaining…" Zhong Ling rolled her eyes at Zhang Kuang.
"Now that you've said it, it's true." Zhang Kuang laughed dryly. Alright, let's live in Daqing Mountain for now. By the way, honey, when are we going to get married and enter the bridal chamber?”
"Go to hell, you pervert!" Zhong Ling pounced over and scratched the dragon…
After playing around, Zhang Kuang and Zhong Ling got down to business."How much money does our Daqing Mountain have now?”
"There are still twenty-two thousand and one hundred taels of silver left from the silver you got previously. Together with Cui Li's savings from Mount Daqing, there was a total of 30,000 silver taels. Now that he had taken over the Black Wind Mountain's warehouse, he had obtained another 70,000 taels of silver, making a total of 100,000 taels. Including all the weapons and supplies, our assets are close to 200,000 taels. What's wrong? Don't tell me you want to squander again?" Zhong Ling asked warily.
"Is that necessary?" Zhang Kuang smiled bitterly. Am I that prodigal? Besides, have you ever seen such a prodigal? The more you squander, the more money you have? I was wondering why these guys on the mountain were all dressed so poorly. Even I only had one piece of clothing to wear. Yun Zhonghe was still in open-crotch pants. Such an image was almost comparable to Beggar's Sect.”
"You want to give the knockoff members a new job?”Zhong Ling understood and this time, she didn't stop him. Instead, she discussed with Zhang Kuang,""A set of clothes doesn't cost much, but there's quite a lot of them. All of them should cost at least two hundred taels of silver.”
When Zhang Kuang heard that, he thought, So cheap? "I'll buy it!" Four sets, one for each season!”
"You're generous, but have you thought about what to buy?”Zhong Ling asked.
"I've really thought about this before, but my previous thoughts were a little unreliable.”
"You still know that you're unreliable?”Zhong Ling teased.
Zhang Kuang scratched his head and said," Forget it. I really don't have any ideas. You can do as you see fit. If it doesn't work, we can brainstorm."”After saying that, Zhang Kuang yawned and ran off. Zhong Ling rolled her eyes and shouted,"You're too irresponsible!"
" Aiya, what's the difference between a wife and a husband? It's the same, haha…" Zhang Kuang replied from afar.
Zhong Ling stomped her feet. Although she was cursing, she felt sweet inside. Although she was born into a martial arts family, the ancient ideology of favoring men over women had also appeared in Zhong Ling. In this world, women rarely had the opportunity to hold power and do great things. Most importantly, everyone did not trust women enough! Over time, most women had gotten used to taking care of their husbands and raising their children at home, relying on their husbands to survive.
However, Zhong Ling was different. Since she was young, she had been quick-witted and had a rebellious personality. She longed to make a name for herself like a man. Unfortunately, she was trapped on the mountain since she was young. Other than bullying people, she really had nothing to do. It wasn't easy for her to get involved in some matters in the sect. Her parents were afraid that they would tire her out, and her fellow disciples were afraid that she wouldn't be able to do it well. She didn't have the chance to show her skills at all.
She had never thought that her dream would come true in such a bandit stronghold. This joy and feeling of being touched by a newcomer was something that others would find difficult to understand.
" I don't know if this guy did it on purpose…" Zhong Ling sighed in her heart, then carried Little Meow back to her room."Since he trusts me, then I have to do it well!”
After leaving Zhong Ling, Zhang Kuang wandered around the village. Not far away, Senior Martial Brother Jun brought a large plaque up. Zhang Kuang ran over to take a look. There were two golden words written on the plaque: Crazy Stronghold!
Zhang Kuang was instantly amused. With this, half of Mission 1 was completed. The next step was to raise his reputation to 10,000 points and he would be able to receive the reward.
Thinking of this, Zhang Kuang slapped his head and cursed himself for being a prodigal. He had used up his reputation points in the lottery earlier. If he hadn't saved up, he would have been able to accumulate more reputation points earlier. However, it was fine if he spent it. At least his strength had increased.
After returning from the mountain gate, the huge mountain stronghold was finally about to be flattened with the help of the former Black Wind Mountain's underlings. All that was left was to clean up the ruins and transport the trash out. Zhang Kuang estimated that he would have to find a place to use the Fertile Field Talisman. At that time, he would have a stable food base. The ancients said that food was the most important thing for the people, and bandits were also people…
As for weapons, Zhang Kuang did not have to worry about them. After emptying the arsenal of Black Wind Mountain, not only did everyone change into brand new steel knives, but they also found 13 crossbows and more than 100 crossbow bolts. These crossbows were definitely the best weapons for guarding the house. Zhang Kuang collected all the crossbows and asked Cui Li to choose 13 good ones to form his own guards.
However, the selection process was still ongoing, and there were a lot of things to do in the village. The guards had yet to be successfully formed.
" It's a pity that women don't like to be robbers. If I had thirteen beautiful women as bodyguards, my life would be more comfortable…" Zhang Kuang thought to himself. Unknowingly, he left the mountain gate and walked down the mountain. Gradually, he left the mountain stronghold. The noise in his ears also disappeared. Only the big black dog followed closely behind his butt, sneezing from time to time to prove that he was still there.
At this moment, the big black dog suddenly let out a low growl. Its black fur stood on end as it jumped in front of Zhang Kuang and barked at the grass in front of it.
"What a beast, its nose is really sensitive!”As he spoke, a figure flew out of the forest and landed less than ten meters away from Zhang Kuang.
When Zhang Kuang saw this, he was not afraid. With the big black dog by his side, even a second-rate expert would be able to fight him. Moreover, Zhang Kuang was not doing it for nothing. With the strength of a thousand pounds, even Yun Zhonghe would break a rib if he were to take a hit! Narrowing his eyes, Zhang Kuang carefully sized up this uninvited guest. His long face was almost as big as the big black dog's. His long and narrow eyes were high up in the air. His round nose and big mouth were squeezed near his chin, leaving only an empty area for his nose and eyes. It was unknown who he was leaving it for.
The more Zhang Kuang looked at it, the more he frowned. Why did this fellow look so similar to the big black dog? This wasn't scolding, this was really similar! They were like brothers!
