About an hour later, when Yang Rui came out of the county magistrate's mansion, there were already 5 mission scrolls in his backpack, which were the 5 mission scrolls about the native humanoid NPC stronghold that Yang Rui had always wanted! In addition, there was a scroll sealed in a square box!

Yang Rui knew nothing about what the task scroll in the square box was. County Magistrate Liu repeatedly explained that he had to open the square box and complete the tasks in it after completing all the things he had entrusted.

While Yang Rui was satisfied, he also deeply understood the unusual things that County Magistrate Liu asked! After careful consideration, Liu finally said something and explained Yang Rui a lot of things. Of course, he also fulfilled his promise and provided Yang Rui with a way to hand over all five bandit suppression tasks to him!

For this reason, Yang Rui paid the price to raise 5,000 gold for Liu County Wei within half a year!

Based on the current income level of Dashan Town, the daily yield of sweet potato planting can bring dozens of gold, so paying this money is naturally no problem! Moreover, the price of grain will continue to rise. According to the contract signed between Dashan Town and Yipinxiang, this income will continue to increase! This is not the income from high-end winemaking!

However, if you spend 5,000 gold to take on these 5 tasks alone, it seems to be a bit expensive!

The reason why Yang Rui agreed to this condition happily was that on the one hand, Yang Rui was determined to win these five native human-shaped NPC strongholds, which was of great significance to enhancing Yang Rui's military strength; on the other hand, County Magistrate Liu gave an additional promise, which made Yang Rui really unable to refuse!

Of course, the promise made by County Magistrate Liu can only be achieved based on Yang Rui's ability to complete all the entrusted tasks. The chance of success is only 50% and 50%. It is too early to talk about this promise!

The first thing Yang Rui did after leaving the county magistrate's mansion to get to Yipinxiang was to open the five task scrolls he got one by one, and checked in detail the specific locations of several native humanoid NPC strongholds!

"Wenshui Wenyang Water Pirates Punishment Mission Scroll! Surrounding Map:..."

"Aolai Mountain Pass bandits' clearance mission scroll! Surrounding map:..."

"Mazhuang Mountain Forest Strong Man Clearing Mission Scroll! Surrounding Map:..."

"Takahashiji Town Robber Punishment Mission Scroll! Surrounding Map:..."

"Jiangji Wutun bandits clearance mission scroll! Surrounding map:..."

The 5 mission scrolls involve 5 native human-shaped NPC strongholds, among which the bandit camp at Aolai Mountain Pass has been blocked by Yang Rui in the level, becoming his personal belonging! Another Wenshui Wenyang Water Pirate stronghold was a demerit from Yang Rui when he took over the mission last time, but he has not yet known where his specific location is.

Now that the mission scroll provides a detailed map, Yang Rui discovered that this water pirate stronghold is located in the upper reaches of Wenshui, which is not too far from his Dashan Town! It is closer than the distance from Dashan Town to Juping County! However, the county town is located almost to the southwest of Dashan Town, while the Wenyang water pirate is located to the southwest of Dashan Town.

The other three strongholds are almost all located in the southeast of Juping County, and are a distance from Yang Rui’s current territory, but it is not an unreachable range!

In the next three days of game time, Yang Rui took the lead in checking the three strongholds in Mazhuang Shanlin Qiangren Camp, Gaoqiaoji Town Thieves Camp, and Jiangji Wutun Bandit Camp.

To be honest, if it weren't for the coordinates of the mission scroll map, Yang Rui would probably find it difficult to find these three places! Their locations are really hidden!

Mazhuang Mountain Forest Strongman Camp is located in several low valleys. There is only one road to enter and exit. Few people will pass through here. The location of the camp is still a little far from the road and is separated by a small lake.

The thieves camp in Gaoqiao Market Town is a distribution center for thieves in a small town market. The strongholds are directly scattered in residential areas around the town market. There are three relatively concentrated strongholds and dozens of joint locations. It is impossible to find without a map!

The bandit camp in Jiangji Wutun is directly a small town, which usually engages in related labor and construction like a normal NPC, but every day on the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth night, it hides its identity and goes out to rob! If it weren't for the explanation on the mission scroll, it would be difficult for ordinary people to discover the trick!

It is worth mentioning that these three human-shaped NPC camps are very vigilant, and there are quite a few patrols. Yang Rui almost fell into it twice, and he was lucky enough to avoid the vision of those patrol minions. However, Yang Rui failed to get deeper and understand the strength of NPCs in these three camps!

After checking three humanoid NPC strongholds, Yang Rui felt a little relieved. These three strongholds were either very secretive or difficult to detect, and they should not be discovered by other players or game organizations in a short period of time.

Since there was no special thing in the territory in a short period of time, the "Territory Confrontation Competition" item in the activity column temporarily turned gray after the system was updated. Yang Rui almost became a free man. After spending three days to check the stronghold, Yang Rui stayed in the county for two days, visited Yipinxiang and spent dozens of gold to purchase nearly a hundred architectural upgrade drawings that were urgently needed, and then he rushed back to Dashan Town!

On the way back to the territory, Yang Rui naturally did not forget to check the Wenshui Wenyang Water Pirate Camp. As Yang Rui expected, the location of this Water Pirate Camp is also very hidden. It is located in a deep water bay on the Wenshui Trail. The water bay is surrounded by swamps, and it is difficult for anyone to reach here in the shallow grass area!

After spending more than half a day, Yang Rui rushed back to Dashan Town. This was because the Wenshui Shui Pirate Camp did not complain about the road. Otherwise, it would have taken another whole day!

It took six or seven days to go on this trip. After Yang Rui returned to the territory of Dashan Town, he only participated in the handling of government affairs a little, and then began to practice the basic internal skills and mental methods with all his might and began to increase the military strength of the territory!

After the plot progresses, it is now the early spring of the 6th year of Guanghe (183) - the year before the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising! The following large-scale plots will explode one after another. Yang Rui feels that his own strength and territory are in short supply and needs to be quickly improved!

The current number of all soldiers in the territory of Dashan Town is only more than 400, and it is difficult to deal with large-scale tasks, activities or plots. Especially the large-scale plot of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Juping County will be at the core of its storm. It is difficult to protect the strength of Dashan Village, let alone what will happen!
Chapter completed!
