C518 Huge Fortune
It was fine if he didn't look, but the more he looked, the more doubt and uneasiness in Yang Xuan's heart became.
Out of the five hundred thousand military funds, there were actually three hundred thousand soldiers that came from the Jiangnan Guard Trove's standard equipment set.
But according to what Yang Xuan knew, Great Wei had always maintained an extremely large army. Every time a large army was replaced by an extremely terrifying amount, even if it was the Jiangnan Guard Trove located in the most prosperous area of the Great Wei. Its output had always been in a state of deficiency, and it could only barely support the daily consumption of the various armies. There were very few surplus.
Why would the Jiangnan Garrison Cache, which was often in a state where they could not make ends meet, produce a total of three hundred thousand sets of military funds? And it actually flowed into the hands of the Barbarian Clan?
"Actually, it might not be from the Jiangnan Guard Trove." The Black Panther's tone was deep and deep, as if it was implying something.
"You mean?" Hearing the words that the Black Panther was implying, Yang Xuan frowned.
The Black Panther smiled and did not directly say the answer. Instead, it asked, "Didn't you already think of it?"
"You mean those families in Jiangnan?"
Yang Xuan also had the same guess.
The Jiangnan garrison was an extremely important place for armaments after all. It was naturally under the strict control of the Great Wei, and it was almost impossible for military funds to flow out.
However, the wealthy families in the Jiangnan area might not be.
These wealthy families also had fixed military funding allocations, although the numbers were different. However, these wealthy families did not need to participate in wars. Naturally, the military funds allocated to them would be accumulated. Although compared to the military, the military funds received by the Wealthy Class families were not much each time. However, over the years, it was not a small amount.
Furthermore, there were also some extremely powerful aristocratic families that were producing military funds themselves.
During the last trip to Jiangnan, Yang Xuan did not manage to get enough military funds from the Jiangnan garrison. Didn't he rely on these families to collect hundreds of thousands of military funds from them?
"The military funds of these families are flowing out..." Thinking of this, a bad idea suddenly arose in Yang Xuan's mind. "Does this mean that some families have joined the Barbarian Clan?"
"It shouldn't be possible." The Black Panther denied Yang Xuan's guess, "The roots of these aristocratic families are in the Great Wei. There's no reason or need for them to join the Barbarian Clan. In my opinion, it should be some brainless family disciples who sold them to the Barbarian Clan."
"What you said makes sense." Yang Xuan nodded in agreement with the Black Panther's guess. In the last trip to Jiangnan, Yang Xuan had seen a few brainless sons of rich families.
But...
"There is a total of five hundred thousand military funds here. Three hundred thousand of them came from the Jiangnan garrison. There are also a few hundred and fifty thousand different military funds. They should be privately created by the various families in Jiangnan. Other than that..."
A spiritual light flashed in Yang Xuan's hand. In the next second, a long blade with a sharp and cold aura appeared in Yang Xuan's hand.
"A weapon of this level." Yang Xuan's finger cut across the edge of the blade, sensing its sharpness. He was a little surprised. "This should be a specially made fine product, he said. Looking at the material and craftsmanship, it should be made from pure materials. It is slightly better than the weapons of the Tiger Army's elite troops in Profound Gate Pass."
The last time he had a conflict with Qi Yulong, although Yang Xuan had only fought with Qi Yulong himself, however, a few of Qi Yulong's deputies had also faced Yang Xuan with swords and sabers. From the weapons of those deputy generals, Yang Xuan could roughly estimate the strength of the weapons of the Tiger Army's ordinary soldiers.
There were fifty thousand sets of military equipment similar to the quality of the long saber, and the forging process of these military funds was completely different from the standard equipment style of Great Wei. It was more like the craftsmanship of Barbarian Clan's craftsmen.
In other words, these fifty thousand sets of weapons were forged by the Barbarian Clan.
Then Chalham's purpose of bringing these military funds into Profound Gate Pass was...
"A surprise attack!"
Yang Xuan and Black Panther thought of this answer at the same time.
This kind of answer. Superior weapons could be considered an important item in any place, and were worth a lot of money. Since Chalham was able to bring these 50,000 military funds into Profound Gate Pass, it proved that there were no 50,000 hidden Barbarian Clan in Profound Gate Pass. However, it was not far from this number.
Including the daily consumption and replacement, there should be close to ten thousand hidden Barbarian Clan in Profound Gate Pass, and they must be carefully selected elite soldiers.
With so many soldiers, how did they sneak in? Where was the entrance?
When he thought about how there might be a steady flow of Barbarian Soldier sneaking into Profound Gate Pass at this moment, Yang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.
"It seems like we really can't afford to delay any longer. After finishing this matter, we must immediately head to the black market and return to the Profound Gate Pass after finding the red robe. We must tell Master everything."
"It would be great if Qingcheng was here as well." Yang Xuan could not help but feel a little regretful. If Qingcheng was also there, the task of sending the message could totally be entrusted to Qingcheng, and Yang Xuan would have more time to investigate the black market's shady business.
Unfortunately...
Yang Xuan shook his head. He put the military funds back into the Cosmos Sack and then casually threw the Cosmos Sack into the first level of the Spirit Pagoda.
This batch of military funds was considered an important resource to the Profound Gate Pass. With the replenishment of this batch of military funds, it could greatly relieve the pressure of the defending troops of the Profound Gate Pass. Of course, Zhou Fengmiao, as the master, would definitely not treat Yang Xuan badly as a disciple.
"Kid, hurry up and continue." The Black Panther kept urging Yang Xuan. The Black Panther had never been interested in things like military funding that could not increase one's strength. He had already become one with Yang Xuan, so he naturally hoped that Yang Xuan would be stronger and better. Therefore, he was looking forward to seeing some treasures that could be useful to Yang Xuan in this batch of wealth.
Yang Xuan could roughly guess what the Black Panther was thinking. He smiled and opened the second storage bag.
In the second Cosmos Sack, there were mostly some ores that could be used to forge weapons and armor, as well as some gold and silver items.
Yang Xuan had no use for the ores himself, so he naturally wanted to give them to Profound Gate Pass in exchange for military merits. As for the gold and silver items, Yang Xuan was not interested in them.
After throwing the Cosmos Sack into the Spirit Pagoda, Yang Xuan opened the next one.
There were a lot of things in this Qiankun bag. There were some low-level herbs, some materials from wild beasts, and some random items that were scattered around. It was a mess, and it was obvious that it had not been tidied up.
Thinking of Chalham's identity, Yang Xuan quickly guessed that this bag should be from the rogue cultivators in the black market.
Yang Xuan originally wanted to see if there were any treasures, but there were too many random items inside. It would take a lot of time to completely clean it out, so Yang Xuan simply threw the Qiankun bag into the Spirit Pagoda. Wait! He would sort it out when he had time in the future.
As for the fourth Qiankun bag...
It was actually filled with slow food.
Various kinds of Great Wei pastries, cooked dishes, as well as some precious ingredients.
"I didn't expect Chalham to be a foodie."
Yang Xuan helplessly shook his head, and stretched his hand towards the last Heaven and Earth Pouch.
