When the Hu people saw that the bandits who had been so arrogant before were now bound, they rushed forward to teach them a lesson and vent their fear of the past few days.

Zhou Wu only told everyone not to kill them, since these people were to be handed over to the county government for a reward.

"Niu Er, send your men to search thoroughly."

"Yes, Brother Wu."

Flying Tiger Stronghold has been entrenched here for so many years, Zhou Wu doesn't believe they have no resources at all. The horses that had just run away have all been caught and brought back, and together with the ones that were originally left in the stronghold, there are a total of thirty-two strong horses and several carriages. It's a real bumper harvest.

While everyone was ransacking the entire stronghold, Zhou Wu had already arrived at the room of the chief, Fei Hu. Based on experience from TV dramas, people usually keep their belongings in their own rooms.

Zhou Wu gently closed the door and carefully examined the bedroom in front of him. Perhaps because it was a mountain stronghold, the bedroom was very simple. However, the simpler it was, the easier it was for Zhou Wu to find the hidden things.

They searched the mattress and cabinets thoroughly, but found nothing. So, the only remaining possibilities were hidden compartments in the corners or on the floor.

Zhou Wu knocked on all the walls in front of him, but there was no hollow sound, which meant there were no hidden compartments in the walls. So he turned his attention to the floor behind him.

Zhou Wu was initially confident of success, but to his utter surprise, the floor was solid with no hidden compartments.

"Damn, is this bandit really that honest?"

Zhou Wu slumped into his chair, looking dejected, his eyes vacant as he stared upwards.

"Haha, they're actually here. This bandit is quite clever."

Indeed, there was a small box at the intersection of the beams. Fortunately, the beams weren't particularly high, so Zhou Wu placed a chair on the table, stepped on it, and was able to take the box down.

The box wasn't large, but when Zhou Wu opened it, he found it was full of valuable items: gold ingots, jewelry, and ornaments. Zhou Wu couldn't estimate its value in a short time.

When Zhou Wu came out, several captured carriages were already filled with goods looted by the bandits.

"Brother Wu, everything has been packed up. Except for this counterfeit, which we can't take, everything else has been loaded onto the truck."

"Okay, let's go back."

"Okay, let's go."

This bandit suppression was a great success, especially considering that the enemy outnumbered them three to one, and they were completely victorious with no casualties. This made everyone admire Zhou Wu even more.

The group marched in a large procession toward Niujia Village, arriving at the village just before dark.

"Niu Er, the horses and carriages will stay at your training camp for now, and the bandits will also be imprisoned there. Keep a close watch on them, and then send them to the county government tomorrow."

"Yes"

The security regiment's training camp is currently the safest place in the entire Niujia Village, which is why Zhou Wu arranged for the supplies and bandits to be temporarily brought to the training camp.

As for Hussein and his entourage, apart from Hussein himself and the little girl and a few other female relatives, the rest of them were also arranged to stay in the training camp, because there were too many people and only the training camp could accommodate them.

. . . . .

"My husband, you're back."

Upon hearing the knock, Li Baiwei opened the door and saw Zhou Wu standing unharmed in the doorway. Overjoyed, she burst into tears.

"Be good, stop crying."

Li Baiwei hugged Zhou Wu tightly, oblivious to the others around her. Yang Chun was overjoyed to see Zhou Wu return safely, and the two women were finally relieved.

"Bai Wei, Bai Wei,"

Seeing that Li Baiwei was holding on tightly and wouldn't let go, Yang Chun quietly reminded her from the side, only then realizing that there were actually outsiders present.

"This is Hussein, you know him. These are his family members. Let's go inside."

To ease Li Baiwei's embarrassment, Zhou Wu took the initiative to introduce them.

These past few days, the little girl and her female relatives have been extremely nervous. After hearing Zhou Wu's introduction, Li Baiwei and Yang Chun immediately felt sorry for the little girl and then went to the kitchen. Before long, they brought out the prepared food.

"It smells so good! It's much better than our potatoes."

Both Hussein and the little girl were eating Da Long cuisine for the first time. The dishes, which were colorful, fragrant and delicious, made the people who could only eat potatoes and roasted meat every day instantly realize what good food was.

When Zhou Wu heard the little girl mention potatoes, his eyebrows twitched involuntarily, but seeing her devouring the dishes on the table like a whirlwind, he couldn't bear to interrupt.

"I never knew fish could be cooked like this. My family's cook can't do anything but grill fish. He's such an idiot."

After the little girl finished eating, she started complaining about the family's cook, which led Zhou Wu to guess that Hu Sai and the little girl's family must be living a very good life.

"Are you full?"

"Mmm, I haven't eaten this much in a long time."

The little girl's personality was completely different from her appearance. Her cute appearance and carefree personality made Zhou Wu feel a little fond of her, but only as a younger sister.

"By the way, you mentioned potatoes earlier? You mean those yellow, fist-sized potatoes?"

Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Zhou Wu took over the conversation and asked about the potatoes they had just mentioned.

"Yes, we almost always eat potatoes where I'm from."

Do you have any more potatoes?

"No, Wu, do you need it?"

"I need it so badly, Hussein. I'm returning your goods, horses, and wagons to you, but next time you absolutely must bring more potatoes."

"Oh, Father God, please forgive me. Wu, you are so kind. Don't worry, I will definitely bring you more potatoes."

Hu Sai never expected that Zhou Wu would be willing to return his things to him. After all, the things had been robbed by bandits, and it was already good enough that Zhou Wu was willing to help him rescue the people. Moreover, all the supplies were seized by Zhou Wu. According to the rules of Hu Sai's country, these things should belong to Zhou Wu. But now Zhou Wu was willing to return them to Hu Sai. How could Hu Sai not be moved?

"Brother is so stingy. If it weren't for Brother Wu's help, we probably wouldn't have met at all, but you only agreed to bring those worthless potatoes."

Zhou Wu was only thinking about potatoes, which made the little girl think he was very gentlemanly, but her brother seemed stingy.

"Hehe, Yuri, how could that be? I've already spoken with Wu, and from now on, Wu will be in charge of all our caravan's trade in Dalong."

"That's pretty much it."

As the older brother, Hu Sai dotes on his younger sister, You Li. If it weren't for Zhou Wu, You Li probably wouldn't have been rescued so easily. Therefore, Zhou Wu can be considered Hu Sai's great benefactor.

However, Zhou Wu was only thinking about the potatoes and didn't consider what benefit Hu Sai's so-called agent would bring him. But he believed that soon he would realize how terrifying this agent was.
