With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

The two walked out of the room.

"Captain Su, you all stay here and wait for the imperial officials to arrive. Also, please take care of my father and the two people next door. We're going out for a while," Nangong Wu instructed.

She knew that Xiao Lin had people in the shadows, so she wasn't afraid that her father was in danger. She ordered the soldiers to stay put to prevent them from wandering around and running into them digging for treasure.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, with me here, I will definitely protect the old prince," Su Siyan assured her.

Nangong Wu nodded and left the courtyard with Bei Chenyan, exiting through the main gate of the government office.

"If you want to keep that embezzled money for yourself, you'd better shut You Zhao up forever before the court officials arrive," Bei Chenyan whispered.

Nangong Wu had just thought of this problem as well, "Then let him commit suicide out of guilt."

"Let me handle this."

The two took a detour to the backyard of the government office, climbed over the wall, and arrived at the wasteland.

You Zhao's men were either killed or arrested. The people Su Siyan brought were all in the front office and that courtyard. Now there was no one in the back courtyard.

This place was originally a plum grove. It is possible that You Zhao buried a treasure here and then left it unattended, so the plum grove was abandoned.

It is early summer in April, a time when grass grows and birds fly. Tender buds sprout on the plum tree branches, and weeds grow everywhere, which makes it convenient for them to carry out their work.

Bei Chenyan took off his outer robe and put it aside, picked up the shovel he had placed there earlier, and began to dig.

"The soil here has been dug up, so it's quite loose and can be dug out in half an hour."

Nangong Wu also picked up a shovel and dug with him.

"Let's dig faster together."

Seeing her skillful digging, Bei Chenyan couldn't help but say, "Nangong Wu, you don't look like a princess who was raised with a lot of pampering."

"You could tell just by digging this little bit of soil?" Nangong Wu glanced at him.

Bei Chenyan shook his head. "No, judging from your usual style of doing things..."

"Stop talking nonsense and dig faster. If we find any treasure, we'll split it in half."

Bei Chenyan smiled, "Wouldn't you say we're dividing the spoils?"

"As long as there's money, who cares what it is?"

The two dug for half an hour, and when they reached a depth of about six feet, they finally found the first jar.

"There really is one." Bei Chenyan opened the mud seal on the jar and saw that it was indeed filled with silver ingots.

At the other end of the pit, Nangong Wu also dug out a jar.

As each jar was unearthed, it was revealed that these jars, each about three feet tall, numbered twelve in total, and were filled with gold and silver ingots.

"Nangong Wu, how did you know there was gold and silver buried down there?" Bei Chenyan asked in surprise.

Judging from the hardness of the soil they dug, the gold and silver had been buried there for at least three years.

"I already told you I have superpowers." Nangong Wu felt that she hadn't lied.

Having a spatial ability and the capacity to control objects with one's mind—what else could it be but a superpower?

"Since that's the case, considering how many times I've helped you, could you show me your superpower?" Bei Chenyan's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Okay," Nangong Wu agreed. "Then you can take a look."

The twelve jars of gold and silver were too much; they all had to be stored in his spatial storage to take with him. Even if he didn't ask to see them, they had to be stored in his spatial storage right in front of him.

She raised her hand, and a small, ethereal Bagua diagram appeared on her palm, gleaming faintly.

"receive!"

The next moment, an amazing scene unfolded: all twelve jars they had dug out flew towards her and then disappeared.

"What amazing superpowers!" Bei Chenyan looked at her with burning eyes.

No wonder her things appear and disappear so easily.

"The items are stored away, but there must be something to put them in, right? Like a deity's Qiankun bag."

"You're asking a lot of questions," Nangong Wu said, rolling her eyes at him.

"Then I'll ask one last question." Bei Chenyan held up one finger, "Would this ability be considered a celestial art?"

"I'm not telling you." Nangong Wu started filling the hole. "Hurry up and do it. I'll give you half when we get back to the capital."

After filling the large pit, the two climbed over the courtyard wall and went outside.

Back in the small courtyard, they saw Su Siyan pacing back and forth.

Upon seeing them return, he immediately approached them, his expression grim. "Your Highness, You Zhao committed suicide by biting off his tongue in prison."

Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan exchanged a glance.

They were planning to make him "commit suicide" tonight, and then they would die themselves.

"He's dead now, that's too good for him!"

"It was all my fault for not keeping a close eye on him. Please punish me, Your Highness," Su Siyan pleaded guilty.

"What punishment? Why should I punish you for a dead man who committed a capital crime?" Nangong Wu waved her hand at him.

"The people sent by the imperial court will arrive by tomorrow at the latest. Just report the situation truthfully then, and no one will dare to make things difficult for you."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Su Siyan said gratefully.

You Zhao has committed treason, and the imperial court will definitely conduct a thorough investigation. All officials in Jinniu City will be investigated as suspects.

But with Nangong Wu's words, You Zhao's treason would not implicate him.

"Don't worry, I keep my word. I'll promote you two ranks and give you a thousand taels of silver." Nangong Wu took out a thousand-tael silver note and placed it in his hand.

"As for your official position, once you've helped resolve You Zhao's case, you can return to the capital to find me, and I'll let you stay and take up a post there."

Su Siyan is a promising talent, so let's give him a promotion while we're at it!

"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness!" Su Siyan knelt down before her and kowtowed deeply.

He was the champion of the previous martial arts competition and received the "Martial Arts Champion" plaque written by His Majesty. He was extremely honored and thought he could use his martial arts skills to go to the frontier, lead the army to fight and defend the country.

But reality slapped him hard in the face.

He had no connections in the court, so the Ministry of Personnel only symbolically appointed him as a sixth-rank military officer, a nominal title with no real power. In the end, he was sent to guard the city gate of Jinniu City.

The Prince of Zhenyuan asked him to return to the capital to find her, which means he is willing to help him. So, can he join the Zhenyuan army in the future?

Thinking of this, Su Siyan became extremely excited.

Nangong Wu entered the room and saw that Huo Jing had already woken up and was sitting against the headboard.

"Father, how are you feeling?" She poured a cup of tea and brought it to his bedside to feed him.

"I'm a little hungry," Huo Jing said, his voice still weak.

"Alright, daughter, I'll go prepare the meal right away." Nangong Wu slapped her forehead; they had been so focused on digging for treasure that they had forgotten to buy lunch.

Upon hearing this, Fu Daniu immediately replied, "Your Highness, Commandant Su has prepared the meal and it is ready to be served at any time."

"Then serve the meal," Nangong Wu instructed.

"Yes!" Fu Daniu jogged out.

Soon, a table full of delicious dishes was laid out.

"Father, let me feed you," Nangong Wu said.

"No need, I can do it myself." Huo Jing got out of bed, took a cane that someone had found for him, and walked to the table with Nangong Wu's help.

He broke one of his legs and will have to rely on crutches to walk from now on.

Just then, Su Siyan brought in two men.

The two men knelt down as soon as they saw her.

"Thank you so much, Your Highness, for saving my life!"
