I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl
Chapter 83 Winning with Brains
Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou stockpiled a lot of grain, dried meat, salt, medicinal herbs, cloth, furs and other items. The vegetables in the small valley were also dried in large quantities. However, they were reluctant to purchase fruits in large quantities, and they couldn't get too many for free, so they only dried about two baskets for the sake of courtesy.
Gu Wenxuan is very strong and has a big appetite, not to mention that she has also set her sights on her seven uncles, intending to train them to become capable assistants to herself and Bai Jingzhou.
If you want people to contribute, feeding them is the most basic thing. However, the appetite of the seven brothers is five Bai Jingzhous per person...
They have to supply eight big eaters, everyone in their two families, and other people they will fancy and recruit in the future. The logistical pressure suddenly fell on Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou.
In order to stock up enough supplies to allow them to survive the war, although the two had been busy for so long, the amount of silver and money on hand was always maintained at around ten taels, which was very tragic.
After arriving at the cave and grabbing their weapons, Gu Wenxuan asked Bai Jingzhou, "Do you want me to take you back to town?"
Bai Jingzhou shook his head, "I want to go with you."
He motioned for Gu Wenxuan to look at his backpack, "I have everything ready. A hatchet and sleeve arrows for self-defense, spare clothes, rainproof oilcloth, silver needles, clean cloth strips, and various medicines I prepared myself, as well as the extra buns and steamed buns I just bought."
In addition, he also brought other necessities such as charcoal pencils, a small notebook, flint, bowls and chopsticks, a small ceramic pot, etc. It was obvious that he had planned it in advance and had made up his mind to go with Gu Wenxuan.
Gu Wenxuan had a headache, "Didn't I tell you that you are not strong enough and it's not appropriate for you to follow me?"
Bai Jingzhou patted his backpack and said, "You underestimated me. Not only did I bring a hatchet and hidden arrows for self-defense, but I also brought powders that can cause coma, diarrhea, itching, etc. I promise you will get twice the result with half the effort, and you will want to use it again after using it."
Gu Wenxuan:...Wow, this is really good stuff.
After learning martial arts from her for so long, Bai Jingzhou could fight three without any problem, let alone ten. After all, those evil bandits were not powerful figures. They just relied on the knives in their hands and their numbers.
In addition, he also prepared so many medicinal powders with strange effects, which was enough to protect himself.
She was a little helpless, "You."
Judging from his determination to go, there is no doubt that he must have already informed his family in advance.
"Don't look like that. I'm not going to hold you back on purpose." Bai Jingzhou carried the backpack on his back. "I have not only collected a lot of intelligence during this period, but also developed a lot of alternative plans for you based on the weaknesses of those bandits."
Neither Gu Wenxuan nor Bai Jingzhou were greedy. The bandit dens they targeted were all small gangs of less than fifty people.
These bandits were originally refugees who had fled here from other places. They were the same group of people that Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou met when they first came through.
They chose to become bandits in the area west of Qingshan County and rob passers-by.
Because they are outnumbered, they dare not provoke those large teams that look difficult to deal with, so they always pick on the weak.
Although these individuals or teams, which they regard as soft persimmons, certainly do not make as much money as large-scale teams, but if they do a few more jobs every month, the income is enough for them to live a good life that they never dared to imagine before.
The more they enjoy the benefits of robbery, the more they love this business. However, if they walk on the road too much at night, it is inevitable to encounter ghosts.
Not only did Gu Wenxuan, who wanted to rob his fellow thieves, target them, but Bai Jingzhou also found out their number, combat power and other information.
When he showed her the booklet filled with intelligence, Gu Wenxuan changed her mind in less than a second. She said, "I can take you with me, but you have to follow my instructions in everything you do."
She thought that when she officially took action, she would ask Bai Jingzhou to stay away from her.
As long as he hid far enough and well enough, those bandits would not be able to hurt him at all.
"Okay." Bai Jingzhou agreed readily. He wanted to help her, not to hinder her, so he would not do anything to show off his strength.
The two reached a consensus, and Bai Jingzhou asked Gu Wenxuan, "Which bandit den do you plan to attack first?"
"The biggest one." Gu Wenxuan raised her hand and pointed. "It just so happens that the mountain they occupy is the farthest from here. We can fight all the way back from there."
Bai Jingzhou's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that Gu Wenxuan chose the first target for this reason.
Although he also agreed to start from the largest bandit den, the reason he made this choice was that he wanted to catch the bandits off guard while their equipment was most adequate and the bandits were unaware of the crisis they were about to face.
"Never mind. The reason is not important." Bai Jingzhou comforted himself with ease. "What's important is that we agree."
As he followed Gu Wenxuan along the mountain path, he described to her in detail what the largest bandit den was like.
How many people are there who can fight? What are the appearances and personalities of the leaders? Do they only rob money or both money and people? Do they like to kill people? And which leader usually leads the robbery? How many people do they usually take out and how many people are left to guard the village...
The more Gu Wenxuan listened, the more shocked she became. "How did you get all this information?"
Bai Jingzhou smiled, "It's not like those people just stay in the mountains and don't come out."
Although robbery is easy and makes money quickly, life in the mountains is not as comfortable and convenient as life in the city. When people stay in the mountains for a long time or have some money in their hands, their minds can't help but drift to the city.
Once they enter a brothel or drink a few glasses of yellow wine in a restaurant, their mouths will be out of control. And which of these two places is not a place with many people and eyes, where news spreads the fastest?
Bai Jingzhou only needed to go to the city a few more times, and the news that spread like the wind through the surrounding counties would be automatically delivered to his ears by drinkers, tea drinkers, and traveling merchants who loved to spread all kinds of gossip.
He briefly explained to Gu Wenxuan the channels and process of collecting information. However, even if Gu Wenxuan knew it, it would be useless because she had always gone into the city with Bai Jingzhou before...
She must have heard the gossip that Bai Jingzhou heard, but the information Bai Jingzhou obtained was far more detailed than what she obtained.
She sighed, "I suspect you are a brain evolver, and I have evidence."
Bai Jingzhou smiled but said nothing.
