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

Hearing him say that, Nangong Wu did not refuse anymore. She glanced at the hand extended in front of her and turned to walk out.

"Let's go then! Hopefully, we can dig everything out before dark."

Bei Chenyan looked at his empty hand, shook his head bitterly, and followed her.

"Qi Ziyang is getting married tomorrow, to Prime Minister Xi's daughter. Could you attend their wedding and stay until tomorrow evening?"

"Oh! I forgot about that!" Nangong Wu stopped in her tracks. "Qi Ziyang is also a friend of mine. He has helped me a lot. I have to give him a big gift for his wedding."

"In what capacity do you want to give him the gift?" Bei Chenyan asked her.

Nangong Wu thought for a moment and then discussed it with him, "What do you think about sending the gift in Fan Wuyou's name?"

"I don't think that's appropriate," Bei Chenyan shook his head.

"Oh?" Nangong Wu looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean?"

"The Fan family's case is closed. You no longer need to use Fan Wuyou's identity to avoid unnecessary trouble." Bei Chenyan's eyes deepened.

"Bringing unnecessary trouble? Are you talking about the Wan family?" Nangong Wu's eyes also turned cold.

"It's not just the Wan family." Bei Chenyan said as he walked out, "Fan Wuyou is dead! I have also transferred all of Shi Shengqing's properties to your name through a sale."

I asked you to use Fan Wuyou's name before so that you could avenge the Fan family. Now that all the enemies who harmed them have been executed, you shouldn't use a name that is no longer alive.

Besides, Qi Ziyang knew the Fan family's situation. It just didn't feel right for us to send him a gift under the guise of a dead person for his wedding.

They might even feel it's bad luck! Bei Chenyan didn't put it that harshly.

After all, people hold happy events to bring good luck, and receiving a gift from a dead person would make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Nangong Wu immediately understood. "What you said makes sense. Using the deceased's name without reason is disrespectful to the deceased, and the Qi family may also feel it's unlucky. This is something I didn't consider."

Bei Chenyan slightly curved his lips into a smile. "So, I think we should use your real name!"

Nangong Wu was taken aback. "What did you say?"

Bei Chenyan panicked and quickly said, "If you don't want to, then forget it!"

Seeing his shifty eyes, Nangong Wu knew he was feeling guilty. "Tell me! Why do you insist on using my real name to send the congratulatory gift?"

Seeing that she wasn't angry, Bei Chenyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Because your name can scare away the demons and monsters of Nanqi Kingdom."

"Slap!" Nangong Wu slapped him on the head. "You bastard, are you treating me like a guardian spirit to ward off evil spirits?"

"Ouch!" Bei Chenyan cried out in pain but grinned. "The power of your name is more effective than that door god."

"Let's get serious." Nangong Wu glared at him.

"Actually... I wanted to use your name to intimidate the Wan family and Prince Jing," Bei Chenyan said, revealing his true thoughts.

"Firstly, because the Qi family and the Xi family are my biggest supporters, I have now broken ties with the Wan family, and Prince Jing also harbors resentment towards me, so he will definitely target the people I trust the most."

And then there's Ling Yangzi, this man is everywhere, they'll definitely collude with him.

Secondly, I believe that only by using your weapons openly and honestly can I deter Wan Jia and Prince Jing.

Your fame is renowned throughout the world, especially your weapons, which strike fear into the hearts of all.

"If you send a congratulatory gift to the Qi family under your real name, the Wan family's cronies and Prince Jing's cronies will assume that Qi Ziyang has a good relationship with you, and you'll have to think twice before trying to kill them."

"That's fine too. Ling Yangzi already knew about our relationship. I can leave him some ammunition when I leave," Nangong Wu said.

Judging from the current political situation in the Southern Qi Kingdom, the Crown Prince's faction of Bei Chenyan is at a disadvantage, and the Wan family is too powerful. The Southern Qi Emperor knows that they have ulterior motives, but he does not dare to completely eliminate the Wan family.

Without her advanced weaponry, and with less than 30% of his court officials supporting him, it was only a matter of time before the Wan family replaced the Beichen clan's rule.

"If Runan City weren't still submerged in water, I would have stayed to help you settle the affairs of the Wan family."

"That's not necessary. The Wan family's influence is widespread throughout the court and the country. We have to weed them out little by little. It's already very kind of you to leave me with ammunition." Bei Chenyan decided that this time he would definitely eliminate the Wan family's influence completely.

The two walked out of the East Palace while talking.

A horse-drawn carriage was already waiting there.

Wei Yang and Fang Jianxian stood by the carriage. When they saw them come out, one of them busied himself taking down the footstool, while the other helped lift the carriage curtain.

"Your Highness, Princess, please get in the carriage."

"Thank you." Nangong Wu boarded the carriage first.

A little over 15 minutes later, they arrived at the Fan residence.

Nangong Wu stepped down from the carriage and saw that the corpses of those beheaded yesterday were still laid out on the east side of the gate. Bei Chenyan had ordered the corpses to be left exposed for three days, and soldiers were guarding them from a distance.

She looked up and saw that the original plaque of the Shi family mansion had been taken down.

Bei Chenyan stood next to her. "I've already had someone order a plaque for the Fan family, and it should be delivered tomorrow."

Nangong Wu nodded slightly, then stepped into the mansion. "Let's go in!"

They arrived at the back garden of the Fan residence and saw Cao Li waiting there with dozens of Eastern Palace guards. These guards were all people who had gone to the glacier with them and were carrying some digging tools.

"Let's call them over once we find their location." Nangong Wu used her mind to take out a metal detector.

A while later, Nangong Wu found the exact location where the treasure was buried and drew a large circle with white powder.

Bei Chenyan then ordered the guards to come over and start digging in this large circle.

Cao Li brought over two armchairs and a small table for his two masters to sit down and wait, and also brought them tea and snacks.

Twenty guards took turns digging the pit, and ten others were responsible for dumping the soil out.

After digging for nearly an hour, they dug a pit about twenty square meters wide and more than ten feet deep, and finally found something there.

"Your Highness, we've found a large water vat!" Cao Li shouted.

Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu walked to the edge of the pit to check.

The guard pulled out the top of a large jar, which was more than two feet in diameter and had a large flat lid.

"Keep digging!" Bei Chenyan ordered. "There will be a reward for everyone who finishes digging."

"yes!"

The guards responded happily and continued to dig the soil to the side.

"Old Master Fan actually used a large water vat to store silver!" Nangong Wu recalled that time in Jinniu City, when You Zhao used a small jar to store it.

Bei Chenyan leaned back. "Having too much silver makes me afraid of thieves eyeing it."

"It's a pity that fate is cruel. Generations of people worked hard to earn so much money, but in the end, it was money that killed a family." Nangong Wu felt regretful.

"Good people don't always have good fortune! The Fan family also donated silver to the imperial court before," Bei Chenyan said.
