Chapter 117 Rare Treasures

"Deputy General Ma, how could you be so careless? You actually let such a valuable thing fall. You didn't do it on purpose, did you?"

Deputy General Wang pointed at Deputy General Ma and roared, as if he was about to rush up and beat someone up at any moment.

"General... I... I didn't mean to..." Deputy General Ma knelt down in front of Qiao Feng like a frightened bird.

Vice General Ma's seemingly strategic retreat revealed something to Qiao Tinghao, who was standing to the side.

He handed his binoculars to Qiao Feng and said, "General, don't be angry. This general didn't do it on purpose. There's another one here."

Although Qiao Tinghao was speaking to Qiao Feng, his eyes never left Ma Shidao.

Just as Qiao Feng was about to reach out to take Qiao Tinghao's binoculars, Ma Shidao pretended to lose his balance while kneeling and fell towards Qiao Feng.

In that instant, in order to steady himself, Qiao Feng didn't have time to catch the binoculars, and Qiao Tinghao had already let go.

At this moment, in order not to arouse suspicion among the people present, Ma Shidao pretended to jump down to retrieve the item, but Qiao Feng grabbed him and shouted, "Are you crazy?"

With another dull thud, another telescope crashed to the ground.

Ma Shidao looked at the mangled object and a barely perceptible expression of contempt appeared on his lips.

Then, feigning grief, he cried out to Qiao Feng, "General, it's all my fault, it's my fault..."

Qiao Feng pulled Ma Shidao up and said in a deep voice, "Are you crazy to jump down? If things break, they break, but are you trying to kill yourself?"

Ma Shidao's scheme succeeded, so he began to admit his mistake, kneeling down in front of Qiao Feng, "General, I was confused for a moment, please punish me!"

Qiao Feng told him to get up quickly and comforted him, "Alright, this matter is over, you can go now!"

After saying that, he led Qiao Tinghao and Wang Dezhu down from the sentry post and back to the camp, leaving Ma Shidao behind, still indignant.

Ma Shidao slowly descended from the sentry post, his anger gradually dissipating, and returned to his own tent with a relaxed mood.

The thought that he had completely destroyed those two magical things filled him with a sense of satisfaction.

If such a treasure were actually used in the army, wouldn't Qiao Feng, that old thief, have discovered it long ago when his lord and his men attacked?

After Qiao Feng led the group back to his tent, Wang Dezhu immediately said to Qiao Feng, "General, don't you think Deputy General Ma is acting particularly strange today?"

Qiao Feng recalled what had just happened and realized that something was amiss.

“General, that Deputy General Ma is definitely problematic,” Qiao Tinghao said decisively.

Qiao Tinghao didn't directly call Qiao Feng "Dad" because he wasn't used to it yet, and he wasn't sure if Wang Dezhu was trustworthy.

"Hao'er, what's the basis for your statement?" Qiao Feng looked at his son. Although it was an unfamiliar face, he could vaguely make out his son's figure.

When Qiao Tinghao heard Qiao Feng call him Hao'er, he knew that Wang Dezhu was a trustworthy person.

That makes sense, otherwise why would they have brought him to the camp knowing there were so many amazing things here?

"General, you mean this is the young general?" When Wang Dezhu heard Qiao Feng call him "Hao'er," he knew that this must be his young general, and then looked at Qiao Tinghao with a look of surprise and delight.

Qiao Feng nodded and briefly told Wang Dezhu about Qiao Tinghao being rescued.

"Now that the young general has returned, why is he disguised like this?" Wang Dezhu asked curiously.

"Because there's a traitor in your military camp," Ruan Mumu interjected.

"Huh?" Wang Dezhu was very surprised by Ruan Mumu's words. "That's impossible, isn't it?"

"Deputy General Wang, do you think Deputy General Ma deliberately broke those two binoculars just now?" Qiao Feng asked Wang Dezhu.

Recalling what had just happened on the watchtower, Wang Dezhu realized that it did indeed seem like Ma Shidao had deliberately tried to destroy the two telescopes.

"General, it seems we need to be wary of this Deputy General Ma."

Think about how we have been frequently attacked by the Western Rong Kingdom these days, and they always choose the time when we are completely unprepared.

"I think it must be the work of Vice Admiral Arima," Wang Dezhu guessed.

Qiao Tinghao looked at Qiao Feng and said, "Dad, since that's the case, let's play along. From now on, we'll go along with whatever he proposes and see what tricks he can pull."

Qiao Feng nodded and replied, "Hao'er, do you have any ideas?"

At this moment, Ruan Mumu took out two miniature cameras from her bosom and handed them to Qiao Tinghao, who then handed the cameras to Qiao Feng.

"Father, have someone place this in Deputy General Ma's tent. It's best to put it in a hidden location so he doesn't find it," Qiao Tinghao told Qiao Feng, explaining where to place the camera.

Qiao Feng looked at the small thing, not knowing what it was, and asked, "Hao'er, what is this?"

Qiao Tinghao thought he should explain it clearly, so he said, "Dad, this is called a camera."

Fearing that Qiao Feng and Wang Dezhu wouldn't understand, he turned on the camera and placed it aside, then asked Ruan Mumu for her phone.

After unlocking his phone, he found the camera app, opened it, and clearly saw the image taken from the angle the camera was pointing at them.

"What? What is this?" Wang Dezhu exclaimed in surprise.

Qiao Feng was also shocked, but not as surprised as Wang Dezhu.

Qiao Tinghao then opened the history, found the first recording of when the camera was turned on, and had Qiao Feng watch and play it.

"This is amazing! It can even record everything that just happened between us." Qiao Feng clenched his hands excitedly.

If this thing were actually placed in Ma Shidao's camp, then everything about him could be recorded. If there was anything wrong with him, he would definitely know in advance.

"Father, put this in Deputy General Ma's tent, and keep this in your tent!"

If any fool dares to trespass into your camp, you'll know exactly who's plotting against you.

After finishing his explanation, Qiao Tinghao taught Qiao Feng how to use his phone to check the camera's historical records.

After trying it out himself, Qiao Feng felt he could operate it properly, so he put the item away.

Qiao Tinghao then went to get the things from the cardboard box to explain to Qiao Feng.

When Wang Dezhu saw a box full of telescopes, he immediately became very excited: "General, no wonder you weren't very angry when Deputy General Ma smashed two telescopes earlier. It turns out there were more here."

Qiao Feng laughed and said, "When he broke the first one, I wasn't sure if there was anything wrong with him, but when he broke the other one, I immediately became suspicious. Luckily, Hao'er and the others came over here."

Qiao Tinghao opened the second box, which contained thirty bulletproof vests.

"Dad, this is called a bulletproof vest. You can wear it every day from now on. Even if you go to the battlefield, you won't need to wear heavy armor anymore. Try it on." Qiao Tinghao picked up a bulletproof vest and handed it to Qiao Feng.

Wang Dezhu looked at the thin layer of cloth and couldn't believe that this thing was so magical.

"Hao'er, can this really withstand those swords and spears?" Qiao Feng also looked incredulous.

Qiao Tinghao turned around and searched for a weapon inside the tent, then saw the sword hanging on the wall.

He took out his sword, had Qiao Feng and Wang Dezhu each hold one side of it, and then used the sword to stab the clothes. He stabbed several times with force, but the clothes did not leave any marks.

"This is truly a treasure!" Wang Dezhu exclaimed.

"This is much lighter than that armor. Vice General Wang, you should take a few back with you! Have your son wear them too, so he can be protected at any time," Qiao Feng instructed.

Qiao Tinghao stepped forward to the third box, then gently lifted the lid.

A flash of cold light appeared, and a long steel blade appeared before everyone's eyes.

The blade gleamed with a cold light, as if it could easily cut through any obstacle.

Upon seeing this scene, Qiao Feng and Wang Dezhu, who were standing to the side, were instantly captivated by the gleaming steel knife. Their eyes widened as they stared at it, unable to look away for even a moment.

Wang Dezhu couldn't help but exclaim, "General, these are truly top-notch weapons!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but take a few steps forward, wanting to admire the steel knives more closely.

Qiao Feng also stared at the steel knives, his eyes gleaming with excitement and curiosity.

He couldn't help but ask, "Hao'er, what material is this made of? Look at how fine the material is." His words revealed his admiration for the steel knife.

Qiao Tinghao smiled slightly and replied, "Father, these knives are not forged from ordinary iron blocks, but from steel that has been repeatedly refined and purified."

This process gives the steel knife greater hardness and toughness, making it a truly unparalleled weapon.

His tone was full of pride, clearly indicating that he was very satisfied with the batch of treasures he had.

These superior steel knives would be considered excellent even by modern standards, and in the backward ancient times, they were even more outstanding.

"Hao, where do all these amazing things come from?" Qiao Feng asked Qiao Tinghao with wide eyes and a face full of curiosity.

He stared intently at the steel knives gleaming coldly in the box, his heart filled with doubt and an urge to unravel the mystery.

However, when asked about the origin of these things, Qiao Tinghao's originally calm face froze slightly, and then turned somewhat cold and gloomy.

He took a deep breath and replied in a low but firm voice, "Father, please don't pry into where these things came from."

I can assure you that these are absolutely not things that our Northern Sheng Kingdom can possess.

It could even be said that not only our Northern Sheng Kingdom, but other countries on this continent have probably never seen such a rare item.

After speaking, Qiao Tinghao deliberately lowered his voice, as if he wanted to hide some important secret.

Qiao Feng and Wang Dezhu exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

They realized that the origin of these things must be extraordinary, and that there might be a huge mystery hidden behind them.

So the two nodded knowingly, indicating that they would not pursue the matter any further.

After all, knowing too much about some things may not be a good thing.

Next, Qiao Tinghao slowly walked to the last box and carefully opened it.

Inside were rows of completely black sticks that flickered with a faint electric current.

Qiao Feng and Wang Dezhu stared blankly at the dark stick, completely bewildered as to its purpose.

The two looked at Qiao Tinghao expectantly, hoping to get an answer from him.

"Father, have someone catch two live animals. I want to show you the power of this stick," Qiao Tinghao ordered.

Wang Dezhu went outside the tent to find someone to catch live animals. Qiao Tinghao explained the wonders of the stick to Qiao Feng while teaching him how to use the electric baton.

Soon a rabbit and a chicken were brought in from outside.

When Wang Dezhu came in carrying the rabbit and the chicken, Qiao Tinghao said to him, "Deputy General Wang, when I tell you to let go, you should let go of the chicken first."

Qiao Tinghao pulled the switch on the stun gun and said, "Put it on."

After being freed, the chicken tried to run away, but Qiao Tinghao swiftly raised the stun gun towards it.

As soon as the stun gun touched the chicken, a jolt of electricity flashed, followed by a "buzz" sound, and then a burnt smell filled everyone's noses.

The chicken, which was just jumping around, suddenly collapsed and died, without even a chance to struggle.

Qiao Feng and Wang Dezhu watched this scene in disbelief.

After turning off the stun gun, Qiao Tinghao handed it to Qiao Feng and said, "Dad, you should try it too. Just go and touch that rabbit; you don't need to use any force."

Qiao Feng took the stun gun, gripped it tightly, took a deep breath, and then turned on the power switch as instructed by Qiao Tinghao.

Following Qiao Tinghao's example, he said to Wang Dezhu, "Release."

Then, just as the rabbit was about to dart out, Qiao Feng's stun gun struck it directly. With a "whoosh" of electricity, the rabbit instantly collapsed to the ground, followed by a pungent, burnt smell.

"Dad, turn off the power quickly. You can't just touch this thing carelessly," Qiao Tinghao instructed.

Wang Dezhu carried the electrocuted chicken and rabbit outside, while Qiao Feng had already turned off the power and put the stun gun back in the box.

"Hao'er, are all these things sent to me?" Qiao Feng looked at the boxes of things, each one a rare treasure, and he could hardly believe it.

Qiao Tinghao nodded affirmatively.

"Hao'er, now that you're all better, come back and help your father!" Qiao Feng said to his son.

“General, he can’t come back yet,” Ruan Mumu interjected from the side.

“Yes, General, Hao’er still has a lot to do,” Master Wuwei chimed in.

"Why?" Qiao Feng asked, puzzled. "Hao'er can help me with some of the burden when he comes back to the military camp."

"Hao'er hasn't recovered his martial arts skills yet..." Master Wuwei reminded him again.

“Father, I do have a lot of things to do in Jinwan Village, and I need to ask you for some more manpower,” Qiao Tinghao said.

"What do you need manpower for?" Qiao Feng asked, puzzled.
