Chapter 284 The Weakness of Quicksand(1/2)
After returning out of the tunnel along the original path, when they saw Cheng Yu's figure appearing, Yan Lingji and Tianze, who were bored, hurriedly greeted them.
"What took you so long?"
Yan Lingji blinked her starry sky-like eyes and asked softly.
"I met an opponent worth fighting." Cheng Yu said with a slight smile.
"Worth the fight?"
"Who is it?"
Yan Lingji looked curious when she heard this. She had never heard Cheng Yu give such a comment to anyone else.
Tianze also looked at Cheng Xi with some curiosity.
"Bai Yifei's mother is very capable."
Cheng Yu didn't mean to hide anything and said it bluntly.
"What? Bai Yifei's mother is still alive?"
"Isn't she already dead?"
Tianze looked shocked and exclaimed.
"Is Bai Yifei's mother amazing?" Yan Lingji asked a little confused.
Compared with Tianze, Yan Lingji is much younger, and Tianze was once the prince of Baiyue, so her experience is naturally quite different.
After Tianze heard this, he gave Yan Lingji a short explanation.
Because Bai Yifei's mother had also dealt with Baiyue, and Baiyue had records.
South Korea has erased records about Bai Yueming from various classics, but records from other countries are difficult to erase.
After hearing this, Yan Lingji couldn't help but feel some admiration for Bai Yueming. It had nothing to do with anything else, just because a woman could achieve such great achievements.
"Okay, let's talk about these things slowly when we have free time. We haven't finished our work yet."
"The two of you go together to clear out the remaining people in Snow Clothes Castle, eradicate the weeds and leave no traces of chickens or dogs behind."
Tianze and Yan Lingji nodded slightly when they heard this and acted without delay.
Cheng Yu was not worried about someone slipping through the net, because logically speaking, it was impossible for the remaining people in Snow Clothes Castle to go down the mountain privately without receiving an order.
The man in black robe and Bai Yifei's mother did not have time to issue orders, so everyone in Snow Clothes Castle should still be there.
Maybe they were waiting for orders to collect their bodies and clean up the aftermath on the battlefield.
After the two left, Cheng Xiu did not sit idle, but went to look for the warehouse in Snow Clothes Castle.
This trip is not for the gold and silver treasures. There are too few people and it is impossible to move them all in a short time. At most, the most valuable treasures will be taken away.
What Cheng Xi is looking for is the fire oil and gunpowder in the warehouse.
Snow Clothes Fort is very much like a military fortress, and Bai Yifei's family held military power and captured a lot during the war.
These military supplies are difficult for ordinary people to access, but it is easy for them to obtain them.
Even if the Snow Cloak Castle is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack, it stands to reason that it should have some reserves.
It didn't take long for Cheng Xi to find the warehouse where ordnance and supplies were stored in Snow Clothes Castle. He casually killed the white-armored soldiers guarding the warehouse, violently broke down the warehouse door and stepped inside.
The first thing that comes into view is bundles of swords, spears, and spears. Walk a few meters inside and you’ll find bows and arrows. Further on, you’ll find armor and shields. Finally, you’ll find fire oil and gunpowder.
This is just a warehouse, and there are four warehouses next to it. Cheng Xi checked and found that the storage capacity was not much different.
It can only be said that Bai Yifei's family background is indeed profound, and the ordnance materials secretly stored in the warehouse are enough to equip tens of thousands of people to fight a medium-sized war.
To be honest, Cheng Yu was a little greedy after seeing it and wanted to move away.
It's a pity that it's impractical to move it away. With terrain like Snow Clothes Castle, it would require a huge number of manpower.
There are only three of them. Even if they grow three heads and six arms, it will be of no use. Even if they spend time gathering people to collect them, they will still be a drop in the ocean.
If you want to move out in a short time, even thousands of people can't do it. The total number of people in South Korea and the Iron Blood Alliance is only 500.
Putting aside his unrealistic thoughts, Cheng Yu went to the innermost part of the warehouse that was opened first.
The golden light that protected the body emerged, and the golden light flowed. Ten golden ropes as thick as arms were thrown out, and wrapped around ten barrels of heavy fire oil. He took two more barrels with both hands, and left with the twelve barrels of heavy fire oil easily and happily.
The difference in holding fire oil is actually not big. It is smaller than an ordinary bucket. An adult can hold almost two buckets in his arms.
Carrying the heavy fire oil, Cheng Xi ignored the fighting in the castle and still shuttled inside and outside the Snow Clothes Castle as lightly as a swallow, placing the heavy fire oil at key passes.
After running for half an hour, I still haven't finished moving.
That is to say, Chenglong's physical condition is extremely abnormal, and his skills are recovering on their own. Otherwise, how can he still be so alive and jump around in a fierce battle, and he doesn't know how tired he is...
Half an hour later, the battle in the castle was over. Tianze and Yan Lingji worked together to basically clear out all the people in Xueyi Castle, including the servants who were serving them.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible to expect the two of them to be merciful, and it was also impossible to expect Cheng Yu to be merciful.
Besides, it’s not fun to have servants attached to Snow Clothes Castle. The servants’ behavior usually refers to their master’s.
These servants may be humble in Xueyi Castle, but when they go down the mountain, they can still be tyrannical among the common people in Guizhou.
Tian Ze and Yan Lingji, who were full of murderous intent, saw Cheng Xi doing manual labor, and despite being tired, they quickly came over to help.
Yan Lingji can only move two barrels at a time, while Tianze can move eight barrels at a time.
It took the three of them another quarter of an hour to evacuate all the fire oil and gunpowder from the warehouse and place them in Snow Clothes Castle and various passes on the mountain.
"Come on, let's go move some treasures away. We've been here for a while and we can't leave empty-handed."
Tianze and Yan Lingji were convinced of Cheng Xi's proposal and followed Cheng Xi to the public treasury where the property was stored in Xueyi Castle.
After opening it, there were several mountains of copper coins, two mountains of silver, two mountains of gold, and several boxes of jewelry. The light of money was very dazzling.
Although Tianze used to be the prince of Baiyue and had seen a lot of the world, he was now in a state of decline.
Therefore, I am very eager for money. After all, if I want to restore my country, I need money for everything.
Yan Lingji didn't know enough, and she was a little confused when she suddenly saw so much wealth.
Only Cheng Dandan will remain the same, because this money is nothing to him. His own wealth is much more than this, let alone what he has seen.
In fact, the wealth in the public treasury is not the real wealth of Snow Clothes Castle. More wealth is hidden in the private treasury, where the bulk is.
It is impossible for nobles to show all their wealth to the public. Not surprisingly, the prince's mansion in Xinzheng City also has a fortune stored in it.
It's just that Chenglong didn't bother to look for it because he couldn't move it away once he found it.
Of course, the most important thing is that Chenglong is not short of money. If he is impoverished, he will definitely have to live in poverty.
Once your status and power reach a certain level, it is too easy to get money.
Just like a dragon, if you want to make money, if you spread the word, countless people will rush up and try to curry favor with you.
There are only tricks you can't think of, and there are no tricks they can't do.
It's easy to catch a sheep, but I don't want to go empty-handed.
The three of them worked together to remove most of the most valuable gold, silver and jewelry from the warehouse, leaving the copper coins untouched at all.
After moving across the suspension bridge, the three of them came to Snow Clothes Castle respectively, with Cheng Xi in the middle, Yan Lingji on the right, and Tian Ze on the left. They each used their own methods to ignite the gunpowder, and then ran away.
Boom, boom, boom, three violent explosions were heard, and the house and pavilion were set ablaze, which soon spread to other gunpowder barrels and fire oil barrels. Continuous explosions were heard, and the fire was bright, dispersing the darkness.
The explosion extended from the outside inward, affecting the gunpowder barrels and fire oil barrels piled under the mountain peak, and specially buried in the mountain peak. A loud bang sounded, and the sound traveled for dozens of miles. The flames shot into the sky and melted the snow on the top of the mountain.
, it was as bright as day for a while!
The entire Snow Cloth Castle and the mountain peak were enveloped in the explosion and fire, and a considerable part of the mountain was hollowed out. The mountain peak couldn't bear it anymore and collapsed, taking the Snow Clothes Castle with it into the dark abyss...
On the other side of the cliff, the three people silently admired the incomparable fireworks, and the blazing firelight was reflected in their eyes.
"Let's go."
After admiring it for a short while, the golden light in Chenglong's palm condensed into a long golden sword, and he casually cut off the chain of the suspension bridge and turned away. The suspension bridge behind him broke and fell into the abyss.
Yan Lingji and Tianze turned around to follow, and the three of them went down the mountain with their gold and silver treasures.
The mountain where Snow Clothes Castle is located is a twin peak, and Snow Clothes Castle where the main peak is located is connected to the top of another mountain through a suspension bridge.
The cliff in the middle prevents the collapse of the main peak from having much impact on the other peaks.
If there is only one mountain peak, then take your time.
Both Yan Lingji and Tianze need to go down the mountain first. With their strength, they may not be able to save their lives in the event of a landslide.
Cheng Xi is not afraid.
Because with Chenglong's perception, reaction speed, and movement speed, it is difficult for a stone to hit it.
…
After coming down the mountain, the three of them found a hidden place to bury the gold and silver treasures, planning to retrieve them later.
There is no other way. Even Tianze and Yan Lingji cannot bear to carry these gold and silver treasures for a long time.
Although Cheng Yu can bear it, he doesn't want to bear it. Wouldn't it be nice to travel light and simple?
The three of them returned to Xinzheng together and parted ways on the outskirts of Xinzheng.
After Cheng Yu returned to Xinzheng, he first went back to his mansion and ordered Gan Sha to lead a trip to bring back the buried gold, silver and jewels, and then went to Zilanxuan.
At this time, a whole day had passed, and Bai Yifei was still ignorant. It was not that no one reported the news.
Although all the people in Snow Clothes Castle were wiped out, there were still people in the cities and villages around Snow Clothes Castle at night.
There was so much movement in Snow Clothes Castle last night that no matter whether it was sound or fire, it was impossible not to attract attention.
In fact, people at night had already gone up the mountain to investigate, and they were sending people in a panic and haste to deliver letters to Xinzheng.
It's just that the investigation was delayed for a long time. Even if Fei Ge sent a message, the information had not yet been delivered to Bai Yifei.
After receiving the news that Cheng Xi was back, Han Fei and Zi Nu came over quickly.
As for Zhang Liang, he is not here.
