"Don't worry, they have time to leave." Nangong Wu took out a geological surveying instrument.

Bei Chenyan looked up at the secret passage and frowned. "It's so narrow in here, won't it collapse if we use explosives?"

"Let me take a look first." Nangong Wu turned on the geological surveying instrument and began to check the thickness of the stone wall.

The screen quickly displayed that it was high-purity quartz rock, 1.1 meters thick.

Fortunately, it wasn't five feet wide as Cao Li had described.

1.1 meters wide is wide enough.

"That's really generous; the Eastern Jin emperor really went all out."

Common quartzite is very common, but high-purity quartzite is extremely rare and is a scarce resource.

Because of its high hardness, it is very difficult to mine.

The high-purity quartz rock is extremely hard and more than a meter thick. If explosives were used to blast it, the secret passage would collapse before the stone wall was even broken.

Nangong Wu was somewhat disappointed; blasting open a path with explosives was no longer an option.

She measured the depth again, "It's 1.2 meters deep."

"How much is 1.2 meters?" Bei Chenyan couldn't understand what she was saying.

"It's over three feet deep, and the geological hardness is medium to high." Nangong Wu mentally put away the detector.

Then he took out two more digging tools—pointed shovels.

"Let's dig! The ground is a bit hard, but we only need to dig six feet deep to make a hole, and then we can crawl in."

A six-foot-deep pit can be dug quickly by two people working together.

Climb in? Bei Chenyan imagined the scene, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

But he didn't say anything, picked up the tools and got to work.

It was a bit shady down there, but it got hot again as they started working.

Nangong Wu took out two electric fans from her spatial storage and blew them towards the two of them.

"If we can move the Eastern Jin Kingdom's treasury this time, you will have the greatest merit. When it comes to dividing the spoils... you get six and I get four, how about that?" Nangong Wu discussed with him.

Bei Chenyan glanced at her but didn't say anything.

"Is that too much?" Nangong Wu thought she had said too much, so she added, "You get seven and I get three."

He has quite a few men under him, so he should be given more.

Bei Chenyan remained silent, focusing intently on digging.

"Then give me 80%, I'll take 20%, that should be okay, right?" Nangong Wu said, feeling a little reluctant.

But considering the mountains of gold and silver, even two percent would be a considerable sum.

Bei Chenyan then stopped. "If you can get the gold and silver out, I don't want them. You have the magic bag, so keep it for the children to use in the future."

"You don't want it?" Nangong Wu was surprised. "That would be so embarrassing! I can keep my share for the child, and yours is yours."

Bei Chenyan looked at her, "Do you really have to be so clear about things with me?"

"That's not what I meant," Nangong Wu quickly waved her hand. "You put in the work, that's what you deserve."

"You said I could be the children's father, and I will always have a place in the Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion." Bei Chenyan's eyes were somewhat hurt.

"But..." Nangong Wu didn't know what to say when she heard his somewhat aggrieved words.

Bei Chenyan didn't say anything more and dug the ground with all his might.

The soil was a bit hard, and it made a clattering sound when I dug it.

Nangong Wu took out a pickaxe, and the two of them dug while the other shoveled soil out.

"With such hard soil, how did your one-man subordinate manage to dig out such a long tunnel?"

"Think about the gold and silver in the national treasury. What does a year's hard work amount to?" Bei Chenyan said.

Nangong Wu agreed, saying, "Once we get out, you should reward him with a sum of money."

After working for more than half an hour, the two finally dug to the bottom of the rock, where there was a deep pit that was two meters long and more than one meter wide.

"Dig two feet deeper, and then another five feet into the bottom. It will probably take another hour," Nangong Wu estimated the time.

Bei Chenyan didn't say anything and kept working in silence.

They dug another two feet deep and began digging under the rocks.

Persistence pays off, and they finally dug out a secret passage more than four feet long.

Nangong Wu climbed in to check, only to find that the floor inside the warehouse was also paved with stones.

"How is it?" Bei Chenyan asked her.

Nangong Wu climbed out, "The ground inside is also paved with stone slabs, so I can't dig any further."

Bei Chenyan frowned. Had all his efforts tonight been for nothing?

"But we can put a bomb inside and blow it up." Nangong Wu put away her tools, took out a time bomb, and said to him, "You go up first."

Bei Chenyan climbed out of the deep pit.

Nangong Wu set the timer for the bomb five minutes later, placed it at the bottom of the rock, and climbed out.

"Give me your hand!" Bei Chenyan squatted down by the pit and stretched out his hand to her.

Nangong Wu grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the deep pit.

"Let's leave here first."

The two left and waited at the corner.

Nangong Wu took out two bottles of water, giving one to Bei Chenyan, "Are you thirsty? Drink some water first."

Five minutes later, a loud "bang!" rang out, the ground beneath their feet shook, and a blast of air carrying dust surged out.

Nangong Wu took out two masks, put one on herself first, and then put one on Beichen Yan as well.

After waiting a while, she shone her flashlight.

"Let's go in."

The two walked inside and found that the secret passage had been destroyed, but fortunately, people could still walk through it.

Upon arriving at the pit, they discovered that the stone wall had not been blasted apart, but had collapsed, revealing a large opening that a person could climb into.

"It's done!" Nangong Wu crawled over first, then took out a large lamp and saw that the huge silver vault was about five or six hundred square meters, filled with boxes of various sizes, and shelves against the wall with gold and silver ingots on them.

"The Eastern Jin Dynasty was indeed wealthy."

Bei Chenyan followed him in, and when he saw so much gold and silver, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"This should be the inner warehouse, and there should also be an outer warehouse." He pointed to the door.

"Let's take care of this place first, then we'll go look at the outside."

At that moment, they faintly heard a commotion.

"We've been discovered."

Nangong Wu opened her arms and made a thought.

"Take them all!"

In an instant, the gold and silver on the shelves, along with the boxes, flew towards her and then disappeared.

In less than half a minute, everything inside was gone.

Bei Chenyan tried to open the door.

"The door is locked from the outside!"

"I'll do it." Nangong Wu took out the bomb and hung it on the door.

Then the two of them stepped back a little.

She pressed a button on the remote control in her hand.

"Bang!" The door was blown open.

After waiting for a while, Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan walked through the door.

Sure enough, there was another outer warehouse, but it contained far fewer items.

Nangong Wu thought, "Retract, retract, retract!"

A muffled rumble echoed.

"The warehouse door has been opened!" Bei Chenyan said.

Nangong Wu looked around the warehouse again; apart from the iron frames, there was nothing else there.

Hearing the increasingly close and chaotic footsteps, she sneered inwardly, took out several bombs, and set the timer for three minutes later.
