Countless rivers meander and there are many dangerous peaks.
Erlong Mountain is the most steep mountain range among them.
The back mountain is a cliff.
The road in front of the mountain is also rugged and difficult.
There is a section of the valley mouth in particular.
The landform is even more unique.
Since the bandits stationed themselves on Erlong Mountain, many fortifications have been built in several places on Erlong Mountain.
Easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The current head of Erlong Mountain is nicknamed One-Eyed Dragon.
One of the previous eyes was blinded by the boss when he killed him and took over.
He has always been cruel and ruthless.
He has hundreds of people under his command, and they are all cunning and cunning people.
Over the years.
Dominate the territory near Erlong Mountain.
Life was very comfortable.
I grabbed a few carts of grain last time and a lot of silver, so I don't have to worry about it these days.
The one-eyed dragon at this time.
In his arms was a ragged woman playing with her.
A while ago.
They robbed a group of refugees, and when they saw that this woman looked pretty, they grabbed her directly.
"Boss!"
"The boss is in trouble!"
Just when the one-eyed dragon was having fun.
A younger brother broke in.
"What's up?!"
"Panic!"
The one-eyed dragon was very unhappy because his elegance was disturbed.
"Boss, there is news from the mountain, saying that a man named the governor has arrived in the county government, saying he wants to suppress bandits."
The younger brother raised his head and said while squinting at the half-dressed woman.
"Suppress the bandits, just suppress the bandits!"
"He calls him whatever history he likes, but we can't hear him anyway!"
"Is there anything else?"
"It's okay, get out!"
The one-eyed dragon waved his hand very dissatisfied.
"Boss, I heard that people from Qinglong Cave have gone down to rob again recently."
The man hesitated for a moment and then spoke slowly, his eyes reluctant to leave.
"Qinglong Cave?"
"Except for the county government, is there any place within this hundred-mile radius that has not been robbed?"
"Is there anything else I can grab?"
When the one-eyed dragon heard this, he threw the woman aside and stood up.
"Brother, I just received news that the people from Qinglong Cave have gone down the mountain again."
At this moment.
A bearded man came in.
"I just heard about it."
"no!"
"Second brother, take your troops and horses immediately and go down the mountain to visit various villages."
"We can't be left behind!"
The one-eyed dragon frowned and said.
"Brother, everything around here was robbed not long ago, so there probably isn't anything left."
The bearded man said reluctantly.
"Of course I know that the purpose this time is not to rob, but to make some noise."
"At this time, it's time to fight for territory. Go to every village and find the house at the entrance of the village and set it on fire."
"Tell the people in Qinglong Cave that we have already taken over this village. This is our territory."
"That's the purpose!"
The one-eyed dragon said.
When the bearded man heard this, his eyes instantly lit up.
"Big brother is still wise!"
"I'll take people there right away!"
The bearded man said as he walked out.
"you!"
"This woman rewards you!"
"After you finish playing, don't forget to give it to the other brothers!"
The one-eyed dragon used his remaining one eye to look at the younger brother who came to report the news before.
He pushed the woman directly over.
The younger brother was overjoyed and couldn't wait to rush forward.
…
Hejian Village.
Inside the Zhang family's old house.
Zhang Bao was playing with a new crossbow in his hand.
With the joint efforts of Li Daniu and Hu Dugu, they finally created a new type of crossbow.
Zhang Bao casually tried it.
A bow and arrow was nailed directly to the earth wall next to it.
"good!"
“The power and feeling are great this time!”
Zhang Bao tried the crossbow in his hand and was very satisfied.
Today's bandits don't have armor, so they can't defend themselves against them.
As long as you are hit by an arrow, you will not die, but you will lose your combat effectiveness.
That's enough.
"Hey, Master, I made the horsehair rope a lot thicker this time, and it's hard now."
"The power will naturally increase."
Li Daniu grinned on the side.
For Li Daniu.
I feel very happy that I can make these things myself and help Zhang Bao and others.
"Master, if you put a little 'golden juice' on it, it will be even more difficult to prevent!"
Lao He said while touching his chin.
"Gold juice?"
"What golden juice?"
"That's a waste of money, right?"
When Li Daniu heard this, his jaw almost dropped in surprise.
Hu Dugu on the other side also looked surprised.
Although he didn't know what 'golden juice' was, it probably wasn't the kind that Li Daniu understood.
"This 'golden juice' is just excrement. Once it is stung, it will rot and cannot be cured."
Zhang Bao explained on the side.
"How do you know?"
Lao He looked shocked.
I originally thought of showing off, but it turned out that the young master Zhang Bao actually knew about this kind of thing.
"Have you forgotten that my second grandfather fought in the war?"
Zhang Bao rolled his eyes.
"However, although this 'golden juice' is good, it also has a strong taste, which Xiaoyue may not be able to accept. Besides, the effects are too slow."
"Are there any grass crows or something like that?"
Zhang Bao asked several people.
Describe the appearance of Caowu.
Zhang Bao had previously learned in the army that when surviving in the wild, there are some things that can be eaten and some things that cannot be eaten.
This grass is something that must not be eaten.
Grasshopper is very toxic.
Mainly because it contains aconitine, which can be toxic if taken orally as little as 0.2 mg.
Once poisoned, symptoms may range from vomiting and convulsions.
In severe cases, he may become comatose and die of respiratory failure.
Very scary.
"Looking like this, is it the Aconitum in the back mountain?"
"Last year there was a doll in the village who dug some strange grass and died after eating it."
"It should be exactly how the young master described it, and it was specially circled there."
Li Daniu listened to Zhang Bao's description and said on the side.
"Is there one in the back mountain?"
Zhang Bao was a little surprised.
A village is surrounded by mountains.
A mountain is like a treasure.
The gifts of nature are, after all, abundant.
"Come on, Daniel, take me to that place to see."
"Uncle He, you should hide these crossbows well and try not to let others see them."
After Zhang Bao gave instructions to Lao He, he followed Li Daniu towards the back mountain.
After a while.
The two of them came to a cliff in the back mountain.
There was a circle of stones piled next to it.
Zhang Bao took a look and found it really good!
He immediately took Li Daniu and dug out a lot.
"Daniu, when you go back, make a trough in front of this bow and arrow, grind these grass crows into powder, and then put them inside."
"Then soak it in the water boiled by Caowu."
"The bows and arrows are made in two batches. The ones used for daily practice and those used in battle are different, otherwise there will be danger."
Zhang Bao said to Li Daniu.
Li Daniu nodded.
The road has been uneven recently, and the frequency of delivering charcoal has become less frequent. Li Daniu was worried that he had nothing to do and was taking Zhang Bao's food for nothing. He was very excited to hear Zhang Bao's new arrangement.
After returning.
Zhang Bao and Hu Dugu are about to go to the county government to solve Liu Mang's matter.
Now, they only have the knives they snatched from the government officials and cannot take them with them.
Zhang Bao used a small cloth bag to put some Caowu powder.
Just in case of emergency.
Then he and Hu Dugu set off for the county government.
