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

Nangong Wu suddenly called out again, "Adelin, wait a moment."

Adeline had already taken a few steps, but upon hearing her words, he turned back. "Please speak, Princess."

"Let's walk back together! We can talk as we go." Nangong Wu started walking towards Zuimei Courtyard.

"I wanted you to return to the Northern Region sooner, but there have been a lot of things going on lately, so you may not be able to go back until after the New Year! At that time, I will take you to the northern part of the Northern Di Kingdom by helicopter."

"Do you mean we'll have time to search for that treasure only after Runan City is fully expanded?" Adeline asked.

"No, I received some news." Nangong Wu took out the half of the map and a flashlight, and gave them to Adeline.

"This half of the map was originally a complete treasure map, said to be the treasure hidden by the last emperor of a certain country. The map has been divided into several parts, which means that several people know about the treasure on the map."

Take a look. Could the treasure hidden on this treasure map be in the same place as the treasure you found?

"A treasure map?" Adeline turned on his flashlight and examined the half-map.

He examined it carefully for a while before saying, "This map is divided into at least four parts."

"You can tell?" Nangong Wu looked at him.

Adelin looked at it again. "I've been to that place. It's within the territory of the Northern Di Kingdom. The two mountain peaks on this map look somewhat similar, but I can't be sure."

If the treasure hidden on this treasure map is in the same place as the treasure I discovered, then this map must be divided into at least four parts.

"That means at least four groups of people discovered the treasure here at the same time," Nangong Wu pondered.

"May I ask, Your Highness, where did you obtain this half of the map?" Adeline asked.

"I discovered the former Prince Jing of Nanqi, Bei Chenzhan, by infiltrating his palace. He used to covet the throne and secretly raised a private army. He repeatedly sent people to assassinate Bei Chenyan because he needed money."

"Bei Chenzhan made a mistake some time ago, angering the Emperor of Nanqi and being banished to his fiefdom. Because he was unwilling to accept this, he raised an army to rebel, but we defeated him. However, he escaped..." Nangong Wu told him the whole story.

"Your Highness, if the location on this treasure map is the same place we found, that would be terrible. We'd have to bring the treasure out before them," Adeline worried.

"There's no need to worry about that. Along with the map, there's also a secret letter. They've agreed to go treasure hunting together in early February next year," Nangong Wu said.

"I see." But Adeline was still worried. "Then we should find the treasure before them, lest someone else get there first."

Nangong Wu nodded, "Okay, but there are still more than three months until early February next year. Let me finish what I'm doing first, and then we'll go take a look."

They walked and talked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of Zuimei Courtyard.

"Then I'll take my leave now." Adeline returned the items to her.

"Okay, let's go back and prepare first. If there's too much stuff, I'll help you carry it." Nangong Wu only took the map and gave him two batteries. "You can use the flashlight! Change the batteries when they run out."

"Thank you, Princess." Adeline accepted the battery with great gratitude.

Nangong Wu's possessions are all rare treasures.

"No need to thank me." Nangong Wu walked into Zuimei Courtyard.

Seeing Granny Feng waiting in the courtyard, she excitedly rushed forward to greet her as she entered, "Princess, you're back!"

"Granny, I'm back." Nangong Wu stepped forward and took her hand. "Why aren't you resting yet?"

"At dinner, Fang Cheng said that you would be back tonight, so this old servant has been waiting for you..." Granny Feng wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Granny, I came back to take you away together. We're leaving tomorrow." Nangong Wu pulled her into the main room.

"Really?" Granny Feng was overjoyed. "Then this old servant will go pack my things right now, and I'll also go and talk to my daughter-in-law."

"Okay, then you go ahead! I'll help you take your things with you once they're packed." Nangong Wu released her hand.

"Then this old servant will go now." Granny Feng hurriedly left.

Nangong Wu entered the room, closed the door, and then went into the spatial dimension.

Huo Jing was sitting on the sofa, reading a book.

"Father, why aren't you resting yet?" Nangong Wu sat down beside him.

"I can't sleep that early, I'll wait for you for a while." Huo Jing put down his book and looked at her.

"Father, if you have any questions, please ask them!" Nangong Wu said.

Her father knew she had this space, but this was his first time entering it, so he must have found it strange.

"Your father doesn't need to ask. No matter what you become, you will always be my daughter. Even if you receive something miraculous, it's all part of your destiny." Huo Jing affectionately patted her head.

"Your Highness!" came the voice of the Flying Feather Guard.

With a slight thought, Nangong Wu flashed out of the space, opened the door, and asked, "Li Shan, what is it?"

Li Shan bowed and reported: "Our men have just received news that the Marquis of Qingyang's residence was robbed tonight. Several storerooms were stolen, and we have sent men to search the city from house to house."

"Pass down the order: no matter who knocks on the door, do not open it. If anyone dares to force their way in, use machine guns and grenades on them," Nangong Wu coldly ordered.

"Understood!" Li Shan received the order, leaped onto the courtyard wall, and left.

Nangong Wu closed the door again and went back into the space.

"Father, let me take you to your room. Please get some rest."

"Eileen has already tidied up my room, I'll go rest in a bit. But you, you've been traveling all day, you should go wash up early!" Hearing her conversation with Li Shan, Huo Jing felt that what happened at the Qingyang Marquis's residence was very likely related to his daughter.

"Okay, then I'll go downstairs." Nangong Wu also felt tired and wanted to take a good shower.

She sealed off the space so her father wouldn't hear what was happening outside.

Inside the Prince's mansion, Li Shan, having received Nangong Wu's message, led his men to bring over several machine guns, pointing them at the mansion gate, and also brought over dozens of hand grenades.

Anyone who dares to force their way in will be killed.

A little over 25 minutes later, a patrol came to search the place, and someone knocked on the door.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Listen up, everyone in the Prince of Zhenyuan's residence! We are guards from the Eastern Palace. An assassin has broken into the Eastern Palace tonight. We are here on the Crown Prince's orders to search for the assassin. Open the gates immediately and cooperate with the search!"

The guards stood there, ignoring everything.

"Open the door immediately! We're searching for assassins with the Crown Prince's token. Anyone who doesn't cooperate will be punished as an assassin! Don't blame us for being impolite!"

Seeing that the shouts outside had subsided, Li Shan leaped onto the wall of the mansion gate, pointing his gun at the guards who were knocking on the door.

"What are you yelling about here? Do you want to die?"

The palace guards, seeing the gun in his hand, were startled and took a few steps back. But remembering the Crown Prince's orders, they produced a palace token, saying, "We are here on the Crown Prince's orders to search for the assassin!"
