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

The man who was captured was tall and thin, with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face, and his eyes darted around slyly. "I don't know who those two people you're talking about are? I've never seen them before."

"Don't know who it is? Never seen it before?" Nangong Wu saw his shifty eyes, sneered and stood up. "Since you don't know anything, then you have no value in living. Cut you up and feed you to the wolves."

"You dare?! My father is the steward of the Zeng family, the most trusted person of Master Zeng. If you dare to touch me, Master Zeng will not let you off." The tall, thin man spoke threateningly, but his eyes revealed panic.

"We're not afraid of Zeng Guanhai, why would we be afraid of a mere butler?" Nangong Wu pulled out a dagger and brandished it at his body. "Tell me, should we break his arm first, or his leg?"

"Just slit his throat. Once you smell blood, the wolves will come quickly," Bei Chenyan said.

"No!" Nangong Wu shook her head, her voice sinister. "Cutting his throat would kill him too quickly. It's better to break one of his legs first, and then when the wolves come, he won't be able to escape even if he wants to."

"That makes sense. I'll do this kind of work." Bei Chenyan also pulled out a dagger, placed it on the man's leg, and cut the fabric.

"No..." The tall, thin man was terrified, his eyes filled with fear. "I'll talk, I'll tell you everything."

"Then tell me," Nangong Wu asked coldly, "Are Ling Yangzi of Changyang Temple and the deposed King Jing of Nanqi Kingdom with Zeng Guanhai? What did they say?"

"Lingyangzi and Prince Jing met with Master Zeng at noon today, but Master Zeng wouldn't let us get close. I just stood outside the door and didn't know what they talked about. They talked for more than an hour before parting ways. Our men then found this cave to stay in. That's all I know. Please forgive me!" The tall, thin man told him everything he knew.

Nangong Wu thought for a moment, then asked, "Who were the guests invited to the banquet hosted by Zhan Guanhai the night before last? Were there any members of the royal families of the Northern Di Kingdom and the Western Yan Kingdom? Also, is the leader of the Serpent Spirit Society here?"

"I didn't see any members of the royal family of the Northern Di Kingdom. There was a young man with Master Zeng. I don't know his name. I overheard someone next to him calling him Your Highness. He spoke with an accent from the Western Yan Kingdom, so he should be a member of the royal family of the Western Yan Kingdom."

The leader of the Snake Spirit Society was also there. They had agreed that if they found treasure, Master Zeng would give the Snake Spirit Society 30%. "The tall, thin man said.

"Give the Serpent Spirit Society 30% of the treasure? Zeng Guanhai really knows how to bribe people. He makes empty promises and then gets people to work for him while he sits there waiting to collect the treasure," Nangong Wu said.

"They're all in cahoots, just using each other." Bei Chenyan disagreed. "The Snake Spirit Society members aren't stupid. How could they not see through Zeng Guanhai's intentions? Perhaps they also want to use Zeng Guanhai to find the treasure. But if they really find the treasure, do you think they'll obediently wait for Zeng Guanhai to share his 30%?"

"What you said makes some sense," Nangong Wu agreed.

Both the Snake Spirit Society and Zeng Guanhai are treacherous and cunning individuals. They can exploit each other for profit, or turn against each other for money.

"That Western Yan man, who might be Nangong Chengkun, is here too, along with the leader of the Serpent Spirit Society. Should we kill these two first?" Bei Chenyan asked her.

Nangong Wu shook her head, "Let's not alert them yet. Let's wait for Ling Yangzi and Beichen Zhan to appear."

Bei Chenyan looked up at the night sky. "It's already past midnight. I'm afraid we won't be able to find those two people tonight."

"Zeng Guanhai has a large group and is a big target. Those two are very cautious now and won't travel with him, but finding Zeng Guanhai is enough for us. When we go treasure hunting, they will all come together," Nangong Wu said.

"Then let's go back first, get some rest, and wait for Ling Yangzi and Bei Chenzhan to appear." After saying that, Bei Chenyan pulled her and started to walk back.

Nangong Wu turned around and glanced at the person on the ground.

"Don't look, the wolf pack will be here soon." Bei Chenyan raised his hand and shot a hidden arrow at the person on the ground, quickly taking her away from there.

They returned to the cave and found Wei Yang and the others sitting around a fire.

Wei Yang saw them first and immediately stood up. "Your Highness, Princess, you're back!"

Everyone else stood up too.

"We're all fine, let's sit down and talk."

Nangong Wu and Bei Chenyan also sat down by the campfire and told them about their discovery of Zeng Guanhai that evening.

"Ling Yangzi and Bei Chenzhan are indeed cunning. It seems they won't show up until the crucial moment," Sun Xunzhen said.

"There are quite a few people coming in to search for treasure this time. If we find a treasure location, there will be too many people, and it will be difficult for us to take action." Pei Xing was a little worried about this.

"As long as those people show up, we'll have a solution," Bei Chenyan said.

"Let's rest now and talk about this tomorrow." Nangong Wu stood up and walked into the cave, with Bei Chenyan following behind her.

Wei Yang and Adeline pulled out the five sleeping bags that Nangong Wu had left for them.

"It's getting late, go to sleep."

"You guys go to sleep! I'll keep watch." Pei Xing looked at the cave entrance.

If they are all asleep, what if someone or a wild animal sneaks in?

"Your Highness tells us to sleep, so we will. The Princess has her own arrangements," Wei Yang said to him.

When they were out and about, as long as the princess was present, no matter how many people were there, they were never asked to keep watch at night.

"Alright then!" Pei Xing had no choice but to give up when he saw that they all looked calm.

next morning.

Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan went up to the top of the mountain again and observed with binoculars.

As more and more people arrived, black smoke billowed from every valley.

"Since we have nothing else to do, why don't we go and take a look at the entrance to that cave?" Bei Chenyan suggested.

Nangong Wu looked at the black smoke rising from various places below and pondered for a moment.

Since Ling Yangzi and Bei Chenzhan came for the treasure, they will surely wait until someone finds the treasure's location.

In that case, they can go in first and explore the treasure.

"it is good."

After descending the mountain, the two returned to the cave.

When they saw more than a dozen people coming to the cave, Wei Yang and his men stopped them outside.

Wei Yang reported, "Master, they want to come and live in the cave, but we discovered the cave first."

"We can let them come and stay, as long as they don't deliberately cause trouble." Nangong Wu looked at the group of people: eleven men and two women, who appeared to be disciples of a sect.

There are too many people coming in to search for treasure, so it's understandable that they want to stay in caves, as long as they don't cause trouble. Having more people also makes it easier to gather information.

Upon hearing this, the dozen or so people immediately clasped their hands in gratitude.

"Thank you, young master. We searched all night but couldn't find a cave. We slept outdoors all night, but the wind was too strong and our junior sister got sick."

Bei Chenyan nodded slightly and stood to the side.

After these people entered the cave, he said to the guards, "Adelin, come with us. Wei Yang, Eighth Junior Brother, you two wait here."
