County Magistrate (for all citizens): I can watch ads and get unlimited resources.

I'm too lazy to dwell on this.

quickly,

Under the leadership of the Embroidered Uniform Guard

The group traversed several rugged mountain paths and gradually arrived at the depths of Qing Shi Valley.

Here,

They have already moved far away from the main area where the Jing army is stationed.

The surrounding mountains and forests are dense.

Jagged rocks,

Go there

Hidden between two giant rocks is a cave entrance, which is difficult to notice even if someone passes by without someone leading the way.

"My lord, it's just ahead."

The Imperial Guard pointed to the direction ahead.

in fact,

There's no need to point.

Because in the darkness, many torches could be clearly seen at the entrance of the cave, and there were also some figures patrolling around.

According to information gathered by the Embroidered Uniform Guard

There are people stationed here every day, 24 hours a day, and they change shifts every four hours. Each shift has about a hundred people.

only,

Not all of these people were guarding outside the cave entrance.

There are also some people inside.

This made things easier for Han Yilin. He made a gesture behind him, and the Imperial Guards immediately understood and silently took out the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.

"Don't make too much of a commotion, resolve this quickly!"

After whispering his instructions,

Han Yilin looked at Cheng Murou beside him: "Murou, keep an eye on things. If anyone isn't quite dead or tries to call for help, kill them immediately."

"clear."

Cheng Murou nodded gently.

Seeing this, Han Yilin decisively ordered, "Attack!"

In the dark night,

Accompanied by a faint whooshing sound,

Whoosh whoosh—

Dozens of crossbow bolts suddenly shot out!

The guards at the cave entrance didn't even have time to react before they fell to the ground one after another. Some of them tried to shout when they saw this, but the next volley of arrows had already arrived.

and,

Cheng Murou added insult to injury from the side.

In the blink of an eye,

Dozens of guards,

They all collapsed in pools of blood.

When the last person fell, Han Yilin emerged from the woods, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and said, "Let's go in."

As he spoke,

Step over the corpse,

Enter the cave.

inside,

Torches hung along the walls, illuminating the ground beneath their feet.

At first, the surrounding space was a bit cramped, but as we went deeper, it gradually became more spacious.

Not long after they left,

in front of you,

Suddenly, the light came on.

When Han Yilin actually walked in, even though he was prepared, he was still shocked by what he saw and his eyes widened.

"Holy crap..."

in front of you,

It is an enormous natural cave with a ceiling several meters high.

Wooden supports stand around the area, dividing it into different storage zones.

Looking around,

Bags of grain were piled up like mountains.

beside,

There were a large number of wooden crates on display.

Inside, swords, spears, bows and crossbows, and armor were neatly arranged.

Although some of the weapons showed signs of rust, the number of them was quite alarming.

Further away,

You can also see a lot of gold and silver jewelry.

In the firelight,

Those exquisite jewels and ornaments radiated a dazzling and alluring light.

Such a scene,

Han Yilin couldn't help but swallow.

"This is the secret treasure from the royal family?"

"With so many resources, if we could export them, wouldn't we be able to raise an army of hundreds of thousands in no time?"

Just as I was sighing,

suddenly,

A sharp shout came from ahead.

"Who goes there!"

Obviously

The guards inside the cave had already noticed something amiss, and after a sharp shout, a series of hurried footsteps followed.

Dozens of Jing soldiers,

Bursting out from the inside,

Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, Han Yilin's smile gradually faded. Now that he was already inside, there was no need to hide anything.

He simply waved his hand.

"kill!"

The voice just fell,

The Imperial Guards behind him instantly raised their Zhuge Repeating Crossbows.

Dense crossbow bolts,

It covered the area in an instant.

Cheng Murou charged straight out, her crescent blade flashing as she struck, instantly sending several heads flying into the air.

the other side,

The Jing soldiers clearly did not expect to be attacked from behind their own base.

and,

In the other party's hands,

And there are also divine weapons like the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.

In the blink of an eye,

The soldiers in the first few rows had already been riddled with arrows and lay in pools of blood.

"Enemy attack!"

"quick--"

Someone finally realized,

But before he could finish speaking,

Cheng Murou had already moved forward, her crescent blade sweeping across.

puff!

Blood splattered.

The man, along with two soldiers beside him, were sent flying backwards.

Such a sudden attack,

The Jing soldiers guarding the cave were caught completely off guard, and within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the cave fell silent again.

The battle is over.

Han Yilin glanced at the corpse,

He then turned his gaze back to the gold and silver jewelry around him, as well as the weapons and provisions.

"I never would have guessed that this cave would hide so many wonderful things."

"These grains seem to have been stored for quite some time."

Squat down,

Han Yilin reached out and pinched it.

Having grown up in the city, he didn't know much about these crops, but the grains clearly had a musty, stale smell.

The color is also not quite right.

It is clear,

These grains have been stored for many years.

The surrounding military equipment was also standard Jing Kingdom equipment, with over 90% of the weapons and armor being of green quality.

among them,

There is another part,

It's already covered in rust.

"Judging from the appearance, these things have been stored here for quite some time. I guess they were stored here by previous emperors of the Jing Kingdom as a last resort to overcome a crisis."

He looked around.

The quantity is enormous; if we were to count them one by one, it would probably take forever.

Han Yilin simply waved his hand dismissively.

"receive!"

All provisions, weapons, gold, silver and jewelry were collected into the system's inventory.

moment,

The supplies that originally almost filled the entire cave.

They all disappeared.

It became completely empty in the blink of an eye.

When Han Yilin opened his backpack again, it was now filled with a large, densely packed array of items.

I glanced at it.

Just grain,

The extra 47 million units, such a huge number, made Han Yilin's heart race instantly.

"Good heavens, is this the foundation of an entire dynasty?"

"However, the quality of this food is not very good, but it is still edible, and we can continue to expand the army."

Subsequently,

Looking at money,

In the panel,

It also skyrocketed from the original 200,000 taels to 3.17 million taels of silver.

Such numbers,

Compared to a dynasty at its peak, it may seem insignificant, but for the Jing Kingdom, which was in turmoil and on the verge of collapse, it was definitely a lifeline.

Han Yilin guessed that Ji Yun probably thought that the secret stash was located behind her main camp and in an absolutely safe location, which was why she didn't move the money and supplies.

after all,

If it is moved outside,

It's highly likely that the Pingtian Army will find out, but now it's all benefiting them.

Other than that,

Han Yilin then looked at the weapons.

The numbers were still enormous, with weapons mostly consisting of halberds, along with a large number of longswords, bows and crossbows, and armor.

Han Yilin counted them.

The quantity of weapons and armor is exactly 30,000.

There are six thousand bows and one hundred thousand arrows, but a large portion of them are rusted and need to be repaired before they can be used.

but,

In addition to these most basic standard weapons,

They also acquired a batch of purple-quality Imperial Guard swords. These weapons were stored separately, without a single flaw, still gleaming coldly. Most importantly, there were quite a few of them, a total of three thousand.

"I've struck it rich."

"This is a real windfall."

Han Yilin was thoroughly enjoying himself.

From the moment the inventory began, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. This wasn't some secret treasure; it was clearly a VIP 648 gift package from the Jing Kingdom!

His only regret was

Unlike the previous explorable areas, no treasure chests were found here that could be opened.

"Such a large golden exploration area, and they didn't even give us a chest?"

If there were a treasure chest,

Let's see a wave of GG (game over).

Han Yilin couldn't even imagine how awesome it would be to be directly upgraded to red quality.

Just after finishing cleaning,

When preparing to leave,

suddenly,

A Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) deep within the cave suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the rock wall behind him.

"Sir, there's some noise inside."

"What?"

Han Yilin walked over, signaling the others to be quiet, then pressed his ear against the rock wall to listen carefully.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately held their breath and tried their best not to make any sound.

quickly,

Han Yilin then heard,

From the other side of the rock wall, came an extremely faint friction sound.

Click...

Click click...

The sound gradually became clearer.

even,

Everyone felt the rock wall trembling slightly, as if something heavy was slowly moving.

see,

Everyone present

Instantly on high alert, the Imperial Guards even picked up their repeating crossbows and aimed them at the trembling rock wall.

at this time,

click -

With the final scraping sound,

The seemingly perfectly sealed stone wall slowly shifted to one side, gradually revealing a narrow entrance that could only accommodate one person at a time.

Subsequently,

In the eyes of everyone,

A travel-worn figure emerged from inside, bending over.
