Daniu pulled out his dagger, flicked the blood from the blade, and continued to sneak forward.
They were all bandits who had killed for loot, and had done this kind of thing countless times before. It was as easy as pie for them.
The others were also making good progress, killing more than half of the Lei Hu Zhai bandits before he even noticed.
He made a slight noise when he reached the dormitory, which finally woke the sleeping bandits.
When the Lei Hu Zhai bandits woke up and saw the tragic scene before them, they immediately became as if facing a formidable enemy. However, the most difficult place to deal with was handled by Cheng Yaoyin and Long Jianye together. These two were more than capable of taking on dozens of people alone, let alone together.
As expected, the entire Lei Hu Zhai was wiped out. Except for the smarter ones who had fled as soon as they saw the situation was bad, the remaining forty to fifty people all died here.
"Pack up and let's go."
Cheng Yaoyin led the way to the Lei Hu Zhai warehouse and emptied all the treasures inside.
What kind of brain does Su Fan have? Is robbing bandits more profitable than robbing rich merchants?
Cheng Yaoyin said sincerely, looking at the warehouse full of gold and silver treasures.
"Alright, let's hurry and carry it back. We can get a good night's sleep when we get back,"
Aunt Niu smiled and said.
The group worked together to move all the treasures back.
Upon returning to the camp, they placed the items in front of Su Fan.
Su Fan had not returned to reality, waiting for Cheng Yaoyin and the others.
"So much?"
Su Fan was also surprised, not expecting there to be so much money.
It was even more than what they got from the previous two bandit suppression missions.
"Xu Dalei robbed everything indiscriminately. All of this was scraped from the hard-earned money of the poor,"
Daniu, who knew Lei Hu Zhai well, said.
"Good, this is yours. The rest will be used as military supplies."
Su Fan pushed one-tenth of it towards Cheng Yaoyin.
"How can this be! I, Cheng Yaoyin, do everything with loyalty, and I am not someone who is blinded by money. Su Fan, you must not insult my character!"
Cheng Yaoyin's face immediately changed, and he said to Su Fan with indignation.
Su Fan was slightly stunned.
He was a bit confused by Cheng Yaoyin's words.
"Brother Cheng, you've misunderstood. This isn't to buy you over. I've set a rule in the bandit suppression camp: all gold and silver obtained from bandit suppression will have one-tenth of it given as rewards to subordinates. This time, you guys brought it back yourselves, so the reward is only for you. This is what you deserve. The rest will be kept as military supplies, and a portion must also be submitted to the imperial court."
Su Fan explained to them.
If he didn't explain clearly, they might not accept it.
"As far as I know, the military regulations of the Tianlong Army do not seem to have this rule?"
Wen Yan said with a slight frown.
Scholars are indeed scholars, they even read military regulations.
"This is something I made myself. The bandit suppression camp is different from other troops. I'm doing this to quickly win people's hearts. Otherwise, let alone suppressing bandits now, I might still be scheming against them."
Su Fan explained.
"But taking military supplies privately seems to be a serious crime. Aren't you afraid of being investigated by the higher-ups?"
Wen Yan said with some concern.
"It's fine, you guys can take it. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."
Su Fan didn't explain further, letting them accept it with peace of mind.
The reason Su Fan had them raid Lei Hu Zhai at night was for their benefit. They had just arrived, and as friends, he had to give them some welcome gifts.
"By the way, Brother Wen Yan, I'll help you with your official career after I return to Tianlong City. I can't get away right now."
Su Fan remembered what he had promised Wen Yan before. Since Wen Yan had joined the bandit suppression camp, Su Fan couldn't go back on his word.
Wen Yan's heart stirred slightly when Su Fan mentioned his official career.
He had a different view of Su Fan.
At the very least, Su Fan was a trustworthy person. Although he hadn't promised him face-to-face, he had kept it in mind.
"No rush, it's been so many years, a few more days won't make a difference."
Wen Yan smiled, and he was no longer in a hurry. With Su Fan's words, he felt completely at ease.
"Alright, everyone go to sleep. We have to pack up and leave early tomorrow."
Su Fan waved his hand.
He also needed to go back and cultivate.
After everyone left, Su Fan turned and returned to the main tent to rest.
Returning to reality, Su Fan ate a simple meal and began to cultivate.
Now that he had half of the Xu family's fortune, Su Fan was spending it lavishly.
A large number of attribute pills were taken out by Su Fan.
However, Su Fan looked at the small mountain of attribute pills piled on the table and felt a little hesitant.
Wouldn't this kill him!
Su Fan frowned slightly, how could he quickly digest these attribute pills?
Su Fan was still troubled.
The door to his bedroom was not closed, and Su Yutong happened to pass by his door and saw the mountain of pills on the table.
"Wow! So many pills! Are Breakthrough Pills being mass-produced now?"
Su Yutong walked in with a look of surprise and asked Su Fan doubtfully.
"Don't mess around, I'm worried right now. If I have to eat so many pills to break through, I'll die of indigestion!"
Su Fan said dejectedly.
"This is simple, just put them in the bathtub and soak in it."
Su Yutong immediately spoke to Su Fan like an experienced person.
"Ah?"
Su Fan was stunned.
"Soak in the bath?"
He looked at Su Yutong with some confusion.
"Yes, just fill a bathtub with hot water, dissolve the pills in it, and then sit in the bathtub to cultivate. It's comfortable and you don't have to eat so many pills. Although some of the medicinal power will be wasted, the absorption speed is faster than eating the pills."
Su Yutong explained to Su Fan.
"How do you know?"
Su Fan asked with some doubt.
"I've tried it."
Su Yutong said as if it were natural.
How could Su Fan not know that Su Yutong had tried it? He wanted to ask why Su Yutong put the pills in the bathtub.
Su Yutong also saw the confused expression on Su Fan's face and slowly explained to him.
It turned out that Su Yutong had been taking pills for a long time and was tired of the taste. She had a sudden idea to dissolve the pills and cultivate using the method of medicinal baths she had seen on television. To her surprise, it worked quite well.
So recently, Su Yutong had been cultivating in this way.
Su Fan was shocked. It turned out that Su Yutong's fast cultivation speed was not only due to her good talent, but also her methods!
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Su Fan immediately carried all the pills to the bathroom.
"The water temperature is best controlled at 65 degrees!"
Su Yutong reminded Su Fan from behind.
Good heavens, she had even accurately figured out the temperature. How many attribute pills had you wasted for me!
Su Fan felt a pang of heartache.
However, it was good that Su Yutong had figured out such a method, which made the wasted pills worthwhile.
Su Fan immediately filled the bathtub with water, controlled the temperature to 65 degrees, and then poured all the pills into it.
Su Yutong didn't say how much to use, so it should be fine to use any amount.
Under the 65-degree warm water, the pills quickly dissolved in the water. The clear water instantly turned into dark medicinal liquid, emitting a true medicinal fragrance.
