Chapter 21
After learning about Huang San Yuan's experience, Cheng Da Lei had already decided to take him in.
Han Hu said before his death that he didn't know how many fields and goods were coming and going, and all aspects of the relationship needed to be handled. All these relied on Huang San Yuan's management. In the previous life of Cheng Da Lei, Huang San Yuan was at least equivalent to the general manager of a top 500 company. This is a personal talent, now that he has left his job and come to this small startup company, what qualifications do you have to pick and choose?
But the current situation of the bandit village really needs someone like Huang San Yuan. If we compare it to a company, Qin Man and Lin Shaoyu are technical workers (robbery), Xu Ling'er is logistics (feeding horses), Cheng Da Lei, this parachuted chairman has no experience at all, and they really need a professional manager. As for Xu Shenji... well, he belongs to the bandit village's mascot.
But unexpectedly, just casually putting on a show, real treasure was actually found.
"What treasure map?" Cheng Daire exclaimed excitedly.
"It was the city master's collection before his death, I got it when I escaped from Blackstone Castle." Huang San Yuan said, taking out a sheepskin map from his bosom and handing it to Cheng Da Lei.
"Thirty years ago, the Rong tribe invaded Da Wu, burning and killing within the empire's borders. When they were driven out, they took many treasures with them. The local treasures that could not be taken away in time were buried on the spot. This map is where they hid their treasure."
As soon as Cheng Dalai took the sheepskin map, he felt excited and didn't expect that he could still satisfy his treasure-hunting addiction, and it was a sheepskin scroll, how tactile.
"Where is this place on the map?" Cheng Dalai spread out the map.
"I don't know."
"What? You don't know?"
"Of course I don't know, if someone knew, it would have been dug up long ago." Huang San Yuan said seriously.
When Zhang Dalai unfolded the map, he realized where the trouble was. The map showed the trend of mountains and rivers, with a circle in the middle. But the problem is that there is not a single word on it, let alone which mountain and which river... I'm afraid even ghosts don't know.
The world map was originally inaccurate, let alone the Rong tribe that didn't even have written language. Cheng Darui couldn't possibly compare the mountain ranges and river features on this treasure map everywhere. The only clue for now is that it's a treasure hiding place of the Rong tribe when they retreated. Simply put, the possible location of the hidden treasure might not be within the empire at all, or it could be somewhere around Qingniu Mountain, where one could easily dig up with an iron shovel, but the probability was not much higher than winning the lottery.
After calming down, Cheng Da Lei put the treasure map aside and said: "This map... really has some meaning. Huang Guan Jia, you need to quickly prove your worth. By the way, there's a troublesome matter at hand in the mountain stronghold right now, consider it as an assessment for you. For now, you're just a temporary worker in the mountain stronghold. If you can complete this task, I'll make you a regular."
Huang San Yuan didn't understand what a temporary worker was. He really hadn't thought that becoming an outlaw would be so difficult. Now he had nowhere else to go, so he asked: "What's the matter?"
Cheng Dalai told about the matter of those horses, and after Huang San Yuan heard it, he almost didn't think twice.
"Looking at the long-term development of the stronghold, these horses are very valuable. However, for the current state of the stronghold, they are actually a burden. In my opinion, the sooner we get rid of them, the better. I wonder if there are any decent merchants in Luoye City that the master can talk to; if not, we'll have to sell them to other strongholds nearby."
"Did you hear that, Military Advisor?" Cheng Dairen coldly shouted, thinking to himself: look at him, this idea almost came out of thin air, what's the use of having you around.
"I've been listening all along." Xu Shenji nodded: "This method coincides with mine, I was just about to say it, but he beat me to it. This is indeed... heroes think alike."
Cheng Dalai was so angry that he vomited blood. It's really unprecedented to see such a shameless person. Afterwards, everyone discussed the specific implementation method together.
Hou Cheng felt much better after venting his anger, and he patted Huang San Yuan's shoulder: "You're doing well, I think you'll be able to become a formal member soon, keep up the good work."
"Uh-huh."
Huang San's eyes sparkled with excitement as he nodded repeatedly, but suddenly his expression froze: "Hmm, what's going on? Why am I feeling this inexplicable excitement?"
……
Qingniu Mountain, Feihu Fort
"My horse!" High-flying leopard gazed at the one-eyed horse in front of him and let out a long sigh.
"Second brother, your horse has gone blind and can't be used for battle anymore. It can only be used to pull a millstone in the mountain village. Don't be too sad, I'll help you find an even better one when we have the chance."
"How could you, big brother? You want to give me your horse? The depth of our brotherly love is really moving me."
"You're just overthinking." Gao Feihu.
In any stronghold, horses are scarce resources. With the strength of Feihu Fort in Qingniu Mountain, there were only five horses in the entire fort. Everyone values their horse more than their own wife. Gao Feibao's horse was shot blind by Qin Man with one arrow, and for these few days he has been like a widower, his whole person becoming much more haggard.
Dong Dong!
"Good news, good news!"
This voice suddenly came from outside Flying Tiger Fort, and both Gao Fei Hu and Gao Fei Bao were startled.
"Big brother, is someone coming to raid our mountain stronghold?"
"Go, take a look!"
The gate of the stronghold opened, and a group of people from the Flying Tiger Stronghold walked out to investigate the noise. They saw that the mountain forest was empty and desolate, without even a single person in sight. On the trunks of several large trees surrounding them were stuck white papers.
"Huh, what's this?" Gaofei Hu furrowed his brow, staring at the first two big characters on the paper: "Ad...ver...tise...ment..."
Behind a big tree not far away, Cheng Dairen held a copper gong in his hand, and Lin Shaoyu held a paste, the two of them sneaking together.
"Is it stuck on your side?"
"I've finished sticking it up, how about you?"
"Let's go, on to the next village."
Gao Fei Hu and his gang gathered under a big tree, staring blankly at the white paper above.
"What's written above? Master, quickly read it out loud for us."
"Right, tell us what you're writing."
Forgive a group of rough men, not many people in the Flying Tiger Fort can recognize characters, and Gao Fei Hu himself is one of them. At this moment, he stared at the advertisement in front of him, with an interesting expression on his face.
Good news, good news!
Are you still troubled by having no mount? Are you still feeling inferior because your companions are riding horses while you can only walk?
In this world, no horse will have a sister who looks at you more!
Thoughts don't move as fast as actions. The person who is faster than you has already taken the girl of your dreams on a wild ride across the fields, what are you waiting for?
Good news! Our mountain stronghold has a limited number of fine war horses for sale. The quantity is limited and it's first come, first served.

The twisted and distorted handwriting, the strange and peculiar words, but how could this kind of restless and eager heart be at peace? Gao Fei Hu fell into a deep state of disorientation.
"Old Second, what are you doing? Why did you want to take it down?" shouted Gaofei Hu.
Gao Fei Bao was now tearing down the propaganda posters on the trees, and as he did so, he turned his head around, winking his eyes and saying: "Big brother, it's a discount."
