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

"Your Highness, you said there are so many martial arts practitioners here. Could they also be after the treasure?" Wei Yang found it suspicious.

"It's highly likely." Bei Chenyan's gaze darkened.

"If these people are really after the treasure, it's possible that someone leaked the information," Nangong Wu said.

The treasure map was divided into several parts and held by several groups of people, so it was inevitable that the news would leak out.

"If the news has really leaked, then there will be many more people coming to grab the treasure," Wei Yang said with some concern.

With so many people arriving, their plan to use explosives to kill Ling Yangzi, Bei Chenzhan, and members of the Snake Spirit Society might harm innocent bystanders.

"We'll see how things go when the time comes," Nangong Wu said to him. "Go and call Adelin and Cao Li over. Let's eat something first."

"Yes." Wei Yang withdrew.

Nangong Wu prepared breakfast.

Now, Eileen and Aiqi are the two cooks. They make a variety of breakfast dishes that the children like, including meat porridge, mutton buns, steamed dumplings, three kinds of pastries, and bird's nest porridge.

"Eat this bowl of bird's nest porridge first." Bei Chenyan placed the bowl of bird's nest porridge in front of her and opened the lid.

A short while later, Wei Yang called Adeline and Cao Li up, each carrying a large bag.

"Let's all sit down and eat together!" Nangong Wu said.

"Thank you, Princess." Wei Yang first took a bowl, scooped out a bowl of meat porridge, and then took two meat buns. He sat down on the chair next to him to eat.

The Crown Prince and the Princess treated them well, but rules are rules, and they dared not dine at the same table as their masters.

Cao Li and Adelin did the same, scooping up a bowl of meat porridge and taking some steamed buns, and sat down to eat as well.

Wei Yang finished eating quickly, put down his bowl, and said, "I'm full..."

Bei Chenyan suddenly said, "Eat the meat porridge and meat buns, don't waste them."

Wei Yang, who had just put down the bowl, suddenly picked it up again. "Yes."

Nangong Wu smiled and said, "You all eat too little. A small bowl of porridge and two small buns. A grown man eats less than me. Don't wait until you're hungry and have no strength when it's time to fight."

Wei Yang's face flushed slightly as he scooped up another bowl of meat porridge and took two steamed buns.

Like Adeline, Cao Li kept coming back for more after he finished eating, until he had finished all the meat porridge and meat buns.

There wasn't much food left; each person only had two small bowls of meat porridge and four meat buns.

After breakfast, Nangong Wu took out a map to study.

"If news of the treasure map leaks out, I will encounter many people on the path I am about to take."

Adeline walked over and looked at the map: "From Xishui City to the mountain range where the treasure is hidden, it's another three to four hundred miles, and the closer you get to the mountain range, the less road there is. It will take at least two days to get there."

"Then we need to hurry over there, lest too many people make it difficult for us to move around." Wei Yang felt that things were a bit complicated.

"No rush." ​​Nangong Wu pointed to a spot. "The secret letter said that they agreed to meet in this Taigu Town and wait for the people who brought the four treasure maps to arrive. Only when they pieced the maps together into a complete map would they know where the treasure was hidden."

"I know where the treasure is hidden. There are still a few days until the tenth, enough time for us to make all the necessary arrangements," Adeline said.

"Then let's prepare to depart. First, check your equipment," Nangong Wu ordered.

"Yes."

Three guards brought their military bags and checked the ammunition inside.

These ammunitions were given to them by Nangong Wu beforehand, and they've already used quite a few bullets.

Seeing that they were missing something, Nangong Wu made up for it and also gave Bei Chenyan a military bag.

"If we encounter Ling Yangzi again, we will fight him to the death. And Bei Chenzhan, we can't let them get away again."

"Don't worry." Bei Chenyan thought back to last time; if he hadn't been shot in the arm, he would never have let Ling Yangzi escape.

He and his three guards carried military bags on their backs, with a grenade slung over each shoulder, a pistol at their right hip, a sword on their left, and a short-barreled AK on their backs. They were fully armed. Finally, they put on a cloak to cover all their weapons. To outsiders, they just looked like they were carrying a large bundle.

After preparing their belongings, the five of them left the inn and headed towards Taigu Town.

Along the way, they encountered many people dressed in the style of martial arts, in groups of more than a dozen, or even hundreds.

The five of them tacitly agreed that as long as these people didn't cause them trouble, they would continue on their way.

But if they don't seek trouble, trouble will come to them.

Because there were only five of them, and each of them was carrying a large bundle, people assumed that it contained some kind of treasure.

As they approached a canyon, they became wary, for if there were bandits in the area, this would be a good place to ambush them.

But it was too late; several tripwires suddenly sprang up from the ground.

Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu, who were running ahead, both changed their expressions. It was too late to stop their horses, as they were tripped and their mounts neighed.

The two men leaped into the air at the same time as the horse tripped.

Three guards, who were about ten feet behind them, quickly grabbed the reins when they saw this.

"Hiss—" The horse reared up on its two front hooves, barely avoiding being tripped.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Countless hidden weapons flew out from both sides of the road.

All five were top-notch martial arts practitioners. As they leaped into the air, they drew their swords to deflect the hidden weapons.

Bei Chenyan had the best lightness skill, while Nangong Wu was unburdened. The two of them tacitly twisted their bodies in mid-air, took steps in mid-air, one to the left and the other to the right, and flew up to the hillsides on both sides.

When Nangong Wu flew to the hillside, she saw a person hiding behind a rock, and an AK appeared in his hand.

"Rat-a-tat-tat..." A burst of bullets swept across the area, instantly killing five or six people.

The people lying in ambush were shocked to see how powerful her weapon was and turned to run away, but it was too late.

If they hadn't encountered Nangong Wu, their lightness skills would have allowed them to escape unscathed.

Nangong Wu leaped to the mountaintop and unleashed another barrage of fire at the people who had run halfway up the mountain.

"Ahhh..."

Six or seven more people fell down and rolled down the hillside.

Several others with excellent light-footed skills had already reached the foot of the mountain.

"Trying to run?" Nangong Wu leaped down and gave chase, firing another burst of shots in mid-air.

Adlin caught up; she had already killed twenty people, three of whom were not quite dead and were lying on the ground groaning in pain.

"Princess, are you alright?"

"It's alright." Nangong Wu nodded slightly to him and walked up to a heavily wounded assassin.

"Master, bring the person in so we can interrogate them," Eileen said in the space.

"Alright." Nangong Wu raised her hand and put all the assassins, dead and alive, into her spatial storage, along with the fallen bullet casings.

"Those who are dead should be thrown into the crematorium."

On the other side, Bei Chenyan also dealt with twenty-one assassins.

It was difficult to remove the AK from his backpack, so he first threw two grenades at it, killing and injuring seven or eight people. Then he drew his pistol and killed one person with each shot. His agility was excellent, and these people had no chance of escaping.
