There’s a saying about great reward accompanying great risk. That particular saying is quite true here. After this particular crisis had passed, what awaited the Toad Bandits wasn’t merely wealth, but riches beyond imagining.
The various horses that had been left in the mountainous woods were basically mobile treasures. Xu Shenji was so happy that his beard was about to stand upright.
Xu Linger is capable of raising and training horses. She let out a bunch of whistles and herded all the horses together. Qin Man was originally a hunter, so he’s not completely ignorant when it comes to horses either. Add in Xu Shenji’s aid, and the warhorses in the wood were all gathered up.
After a careful count, putting aside all the ones that managed to run off into the woods and those that got killed, they’ve herded up a total of 81 horses.
For the poor Xu Shenji, that number on its own was enough to make him think he’s dreaming. Qin Man isn’t all that worldly either, so he’s also scratching his head with a dopey grin at it.
Xu Shenji, Xu Linger, Qin Man… Truth be told, all of them were basically country bumpkins. The only one with their camp who is a bit worldly is probably just Lin Shaoyu. After all, he basically came fully equipped, having a spear, a horse, and a full set of clothes. However, even for Lin Shaoyu, when he saw that scene before him, it was all he could do to just maintain his calm. It’s basically like showing a guy 81 high class cars. It’s practically a fleet, so whose heart wouldn’t pound at the sight.
Of course, there were lots of other good stuff left from the battle such as armors and weapons. However, the Toad Bandits simply have too little people, so they can’t actually move all those. Therefore, they had no choice but to pick and choose. Thus, they just grabbed the most valuable horses. As for the rest, all they could do is just bear with the pain of leaving them behind.
“Linger, make sure to herd the horses properly. We’re going back to base!” Xu Shenji stuffed the last saber into the carriage. At this point, the carriage has already been stuffed completely full, having not the smallest room left for anything more.
