They indeed had gotten it.
Upon reaching River Heart Island, Junior Leopard let Little Du follow behind the navy to clear the remaining forces on the island. Though they were the remaining forces, their numbers were not small. Li Sanbao and his personally groomed underlings were all dead so that although the remaining water bandits were numerous, they had no heart to battle. Adding on to the fact that Little Du was following nearby, after an hour, most were killed and the rest were captured, apart from a lucky few who escaped. Approximately 100 bandits were tied up and brought to Broken Dragon Beach.
Junior Leopard was in no mood to see them. His thoughts were on the spoils of war.
He reached the bank of the shore with Wang Cheng and Jiang Xiao. Zhu Ba had brought a team to look for Li Sanhe's property.
As one of the water bandits with the biggest forces in Luo River, Junior Leopard believed that Li Sanbao would have had immense wealth. In fact, most of the navy thought so.
There was a group of captives, and though none of them were Li Sanbao's trusted subordinates, it was very easy to find Li Sanbao's treasure vault.
When Junior Leopard followed Zhu Ba into Li Sanbao's treasure vault, his eyes were momentarily blinded by the wealth of gold and silver. No wonder people wanted to be water bandits. This kind of business was just too profitable.
The silver and gold alone would amount to over 20,000 taels, not to mention the rest. Adding on the accessories, jewelry, precious stones and pearls, the value would be magnified many times over.
Apart from these, there were also many weapons and some armor. The weapons and armor were nothing in Junior Leopard's eyes, but it was extremely valuable to Wang Cheng and the rest. The armor was much stronger than the standard ones of the Jiang City Navy. Even though it was not enough to equip the whole navy, it could equip the elites. This alone would raise the fighting capacity of the navy by more than 50%.
”Your Excellency, look at this!” When Junior Leopard was inspecting carefully, when he heard an excited voice. He raised his head and saw Zhu Ba touching some type of mechanism. He opened a secret door within the treasure vault. Behind the secret door was a passageway, however, the passageway was not long. One glimpse and one could see the end. Below the treasure vault was a natural cave. The cave was not big, only 30 meters in circumference. It was chilly inside. Upon closer inspection, inside the cave were rows of shelves. These shelves were all filled with medicinal ingredients, as if it was a medicine shop.
Zhu Ba, Wang Cheng and Jiang Xiao were the first to enter the passageway. Junior Leopard followed behind.
Zhu Ba was the fastest. Upon entering the passageway, he opened a drawer on the shelf and took out the medicinal ingredients inside to smell. His face immediately revealed an excited expression, ”Your Excellency, these are…!”
”I know! They are medicinal herbs for strengthening the body!” Junior Leopard interrupted his words and casually opened a drawer. He clawed a bunch of medicinal herbs and sniffed them, ”Why, are you interested?!”
”What? Why would you say that? I'm not interested in these!” Zhu Ba said hurriedly rolling his eyes, ”I'm only interested in the things outside!”
Those present were all clever people. They all understood that they were not fated with these medicinal herbs. Among these three, even Jiang Xiao who was the youngest was 33 years old. Their cultivation remained at Level Three and what they cultivated was not the proper Internal Qi way. Even if they had medicinal soup for strengthening the body placed in front of them, it would not be beneficial for them. Even if these medicinal ingredients were placed in their hands, they would ultimately choose to sell them and earn some money and not really use them to strengthen the body. Now that Junior Leopard was present, they would naturally express their attitude within the first few moments.
”The things outside!”
Thinking about the silver and gold outside, Junior Leopard smiled. ”Today the brothers have worked hard. They should be properly rewarded. When Wang Datong comes, let him distribute the spoils outside to everyone. As for the way of distribution, I leave it up to you guys!”
”Thank you Your Excellency!” The three of them expressed their gratitude repeatedly. Especially Zhu Ba, his face was full of merry. He opened his mouth wide, revealing his big yellow teeth and emitting a strong smell, which caused Junior Leopard to frown.
”Your Excellency, shouldn't we get some brothers to bring all these back to the barracks?!” Wang Cheng asked.
”Back to the barracks?!” Junior Leopard frowned. He seemed to have thought of something. ”Commander Wang, don't you think that our navy barracks are a little too small?!”
”Too small?!” Wang Cheng was stunned for a while before understanding, ”You mean...!”
”River Heart Island is not bad. In the future we should set up our navy barracks here. Commander Wang, you are someone rooted in the navy. This shouldn't be a problem?!”
”Not a problem!” Wang Cheng thought for a while, ”Although the barracks position is fixed by the rule, we can set up a training ground here. Anyway, River Heart Island has always been occupied by Li Sanbao. Jiang City has never interfered with it. Now that we have conquered it, it would be a pity if we didn't grab it in our hands. However, there are some connections that need to be established...!”
Speaking till here, Wang Cheng's face became somewhat hesitant.
