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

"Do you remember the treasure that Adeline mentioned?" Nangong Wu took out Bei Chenzhan's half of the map.

Bei Chenyan nodded. "I remember, that's three months from now, until next spring. I really want to know who those other two people are?"

"So, we still have two treasures to dig up." A determined glint flashed in Nangong Wu's eyes.

"Haha!" Bei Chenyan chuckled twice when he saw her greedy look in her eyes. "Are you so sure that those valuables are already ours?"

"As long as those treasures truly exist, I will absolutely not let them fall into the hands of a villain like Bei Chenzhan."

"We really can't let it fall into the hands of those people." Bei Chenyan nodded in agreement, looking at the map in her hand.

"I just wonder if the treasure Adeline mentioned is in the same place as this half of the map?"

Nangong Wu was taken aback. "No one can say for sure. Once the floodwaters in Runan City recede, I will go back to the capital of Western Yan and bring my father and the people who stayed in the palace here. Those who do not wish to come will be given a sum of money."

"Then I'll have Adeline lead us to the treasure's location."

The two chatted idly for half an hour before Cao Li's voice came through again.

"Your Highness, Princess, that's enough!"

"Go and take a look!"

Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu got up and went down into the big pit.

"Your Highness, as the princess instructed, we have only dug up to the tops of these water vats. There are a total of fifty water vats," Wei Yang reported to them.

"There are fifty water vats in total?" Nangong Wu was surprised; it was more than they had expected.

"Yes, you've worked hard!" Bei Chenyan raised his hand to the guards.

Wei Yang and Cao Li understood and led all the guards up first.

Bei Chenyan opened the lid of one of the jars, revealing it filled with gleaming gold ingots.

Nangong Wu took out a gold ingot to look at it; it felt heavy in her hand.

She noticed a small character "Fan" on the bottom of the gold ingot.

"Should we leave these jars behind?" Bei Chenyan asked her.

If you want to take the cylinder along with it, it will take a little more effort.

"No need!" Nangong Wu raised her hand, and with a thought, all the gold in the large water vat went into her space.

The two men looked and found that the water vat was three feet deep.

Nangong Wu couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

This deep water vat must have contained at least a hundred pounds of gold.

One jin of gold is equal to sixteen liang, and a single vat contains one hundred jin, equivalent to one thousand six hundred liang.

"The Fan family is incredibly wealthy!"

At this moment, Bei Chenyan had already opened the second vat, which was also full of gold ingots, gleaming with golden light.

Nangong Wu accepted the vat of gold and also helped open the vat.

There were fifty water vats, all filled with gold and silver. Twenty vats contained gold, and thirty vats contained silver. On the bottom of each gold and silver ingot was a small character "Fan".

Looking at the gold and silver, Nangong Wu felt no joy, but rather a strange and indescribable feeling welled up inside her.

"Take them all! These are ownerless assets, and they'll fall into someone else's hands sooner or later if left here," Bei Chenyan said.

Nangong Wu nodded and mentally stored all the gold and silver into her spatial storage.

"I will use this money to benefit the people. In the future, no matter which country suffers a disaster, I will extend a helping hand to the affected people."

"I believe in you. You will definitely build a country that can truly make the people rich." Bei Chenyan looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

"Let's go up! Let everyone bury this pit." Nangong Wu leaped out of the deep pit first.

evening.

Bei Chenyan summoned all one hundred of his personal guards to Tianhua Palace.

The guards thought there was some urgent mission, and soon they all arrived and stood in neat rows in the courtyard.

Wei Yang reported: "Your Highness, everyone has arrived."

After Zhang Qing took up his post as the commander of the Imperial City Guard, Bei Chenyan appointed Wei Yang to take over his position as the captain of the guards.

Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu came out.

"It's nothing, everyone don't need to be nervous."

Nangong Wu took out a large stack of silver notes. "I'm leaving tomorrow night, so I'm giving you this as a reward. Thank you for helping me find the Seven-Colored Lotus last time."

The guards immediately waved their hands when they saw this.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. Finding medicine for the young prince is what I should do. There's no need to be so polite."

Bei Chenyan's eyes turned cold. "The princess bestowed these upon you; who dares to say they don't want them?"

"..."

The guards immediately fell silent.

"I originally wanted to give you cash, but it's too much for you to carry around." Nangong Wu took out two silver notes worth ten thousand taels each.

Upon seeing this, Bei Chenyan immediately said, "Twenty thousand taels of silver notes per person, line up and collect them."

"Twenty thousand taels of silver per person?"

The guards were all astonished.

"Your Highness, that's too much. We can't accept it."

"Hmm?" Bei Chenyan's gaze swept coldly over them.

"Yes..." Wei Yang stepped forward to collect the silver notes first.

"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Princess!"

He knew that the large pit dug at the Fan family's house today contained a large amount of gold and silver treasures, which was why His Highness had bestowed them upon them.

But they were guards of the Crown Prince's palace, and they already received high salaries. It was only right that they did anything for the Crown Prince. They never expected His Highness to reward them with so much silver.

Each person received 20,000 taels of silver notes, so a hundred people would receive 2 million taels of silver. This was a huge sum of money; sometimes even the national treasury couldn't come up with that much. His Highness actually rewarded them with so much.

Bei Chenyan added, "Those who have already received their money may leave! These are turbulent times, so please be vigilant at night."

"yes!"

The guards who had received their silver notes left one by one.

After accompanying Nangong Wu to distribute the silver notes, Bei Chenyan returned to his bedchamber.

Are you not busy tonight?

"I'm busy. There are still some memorials I haven't finished approving, but I want to go see her tonight." Bei Chenyan's expression suddenly turned sour.

"To see her?" Nangong Wu immediately understood who he was referring to. "Go ahead! Just call me when you go to the Qi family to offer your congratulations tomorrow."

"I want to take Yu'er with me," Bei Chenyan said again.

Several children were playing with toy cars there when Nangong Yu heard him mention his name, so he ran over.

"Father, did you call me?"

"Okay." Bei Chenyan squatted down to be at eye level with his son. "Yu'er, come with Daddy to a place. We'll be right back."

"Okay." Nangong Yu thought his father wanted to take him out for a walk, so he agreed.

Nangong Jue, Nangong Xi, and Luo Yushao were still playing with a toy car with a remote control, unaware that Bei Chenyan was going to take Nangong Yu away.

Bei Chenyan took his son's hand and said to Nangong Wu, "We'll be back in a bit."

"Go ahead!" Nangong Wu didn't ask any more questions. He had his reasons for taking Yu'er to see that woman.
