Chapter 1003 – Yang Su’s Treasury

The intel that Shen Buhai brought back stunned Ouyang Shuo.

“Li Mi is dead!”

After Pei Renji revealed the tracks of Li Mi, the Shadow Guards started to hunt him down.

As a historical person, before joining any territory, Li Mi would have a god travelling talisman that he could use at any moment. As such, it would not be easy for the Shadow Guards to capture him.

Under the careful planning of Cui Tianqi, they finally captured Li Mi.

Who knew that Li Mi would actually be so stubborn? He would rather die than surrender. Helplessly, Cui Tianqi could only execute him. From his corpse, Cui Tianqi found two scrolls.

First, there was a name list that recorded down a list of names of henchmen he had in Great Sui. As one of the Lords of the late Sui dynasty, Li Mi had many allies in Great Sui.

The other scroll was a treasure map of something that had been lost for a long time – Yang Su’s treasury.

“Interesting!”

Ouyang Shuo did not expect to get such a surprise after killing Li Mi. He passed the name list to Shen Buhai, “Duplicate this and pass one copy through the Quanzhou spies to Yang Guang.”

With Yang Guang’s ambitions, he would use this chance to start something in Quanzhou.

This was exactly what Ouyang Shuo hoped for.

Just as what Du Ruhui had said, Quanzhou, Dali, and Chengdu imperial cities were problems to Great Xia. Ouyang Shuo had not found any methods to destroy them, so he could only slowly infiltrate these imperial cities.

As for the treasury, the matter was a little problematic. Looking at the map, the treasury was within Chang An city. Seeing that Li Shiming had already moved in, the Shanhai Guards did not dare to dig for the treasure outright.

Thinking about that, Ouyang Shuo wrote a letter to his little aunt, “I have good news, come quickly!” For work in an imperial city, an adventure gamemode player was far better.

Seeing that it was 6 PM, Ouyang Shuo decided to not immediately deal with Wang Bodang.

23rd day, morning, Lin Jing rushed over to the Xia Palace.

“Little Shuo, what good thing have you called me over for?”

Looking around, only Lin Jing would dare to talk to Ouyang Shuo like that. Based on the system, Lin Jing could be considered a relative of the ruler and held a high position.

Ouyang Shuo also wanted to give her a title, but she rejected the offer.

She said that the time was not right.

Ouyang Shuo did not mind it. He passed her the map and said, “Take a look!”

“Treasure map?”

The more Lin Jing looked at it, the brighter her eyes grew.

“Yang Su’s treasury is within Chang An city, so I hope that little aunt can send men to find it. It is more convenient if we do it like that,” Ouyang Shuo explained.

Apart from being more convenient and the need to avoid alerting Great Tang, more importantly, they had storage bags and could empty out the palace.

Even if the treasury had any traps or weird stuff, the elite group of Snow-War Rose could handle it. They had been doing such stuff since the start of the game.

This was called each person having their own strengths.

“So, how are you going to split it?” Lin Jing was really direct.

Even though the two of them were relatives, private and public matters were separate.

Lin Jing naturally would not take all the treasure. Otherwise, Ouyang Shuo would not dare to inform her if he found such good stuff in the future.

“Rumors have it that there is a large quantity of weapons and equipment in it as well as gold and jewelry. I do not want the weapons, change the treasures to gold, and give me a portion.”

Ouyang Shuo was really generous.

Yang Su was currently working in Great Sui. Naturally, Ouyang Shuo was not interested in his weapons.

Ouyang Shuo lacked money right now, and he still had the Contract Beast Wishing Stone that he had not used.

Lin Jing smiled in satisfaction, “We have a deal. Wait for my news.” After she said that, she directly went to the back palace to look for Bing’er.

Ouyang Shuo was helpless.

His little aunt hated men. For her to be able to speak with Ouyang Shuo for such a long time was rare.

Returning to the Imperial Reading Room, Ouyang Shuo summoned Du Ruhui.

“Li Mi has already died. From the letters we found on him, he seems to have bad intentions in asking for Wang Bodang to join us. Talk to him, if he is willing to pledge his loyalty to us, I can let him off. If not, hand him over to the military law division to handle!”

“Understood!”

In the next two days, Ouyang Shuo focused on the navy generals as they finally got the Great Xia Navy organizational framework finished.

25th day, morning, the Wang Bodang’s matter was settled.

Learning that Li Mi was killed, Wang Bodang tried to attack Du Ruhui on the spot, but he was taken down. Undoubtedly, he was a really loyal person. Unfortunately, he was not loyal to Great Xia.

That day, the military law division executed him for being a spy.

Wang Bodang’s death caused waves in the official circle.

Especially the 2nd City Protection Legion that he was in, where there were many soldiers who were close to him and admired his archery.

The soldiers were naturally worried that they would be implicated by his death.

Military law secretary Feng Yunshan wrote a memorial to ask how to deal with those questionable soldiers. Should he capture them and investigate whether they were tempted by Wang Bodang or not?

With how close the New Year was, it was not good to slaughter people. This matter was briefly jumped across. Ouyang Shuo did not pursue or investigate any of them.

He believed that even if there were soldiers that were close to Wang Bodang, after the death of Li Mi and Wang Bodang, no one would be so foolish to try anything irrational.

If Ouyang Shuo were to investigate, it might incite fear and panic instead.

One could not be too strict when ruling the military. Sometimes, being generous and relaxed would achieve a better effect. Those soldiers without the psychological barrier could become more loyal to the dynasty.

Shan Xiongxin, who was working in the Somalia Formation, was shocked when he learned about the matter.

Wang Bodang was a hero and was really loyal; he did not deserve such an outcome. The bad part was that he followed such a Lord and was conned twice.

The dead Bodang was just a cluster of data, while a living Bodang could have done work in the future Planet Hope. It was a difference between heaven and earth.

Gaia 5th year, 2nd month, 3rd day, 12th month, 15th day of the lunar calendar.

It was half a month till the Lunar New Year’s Eve, and the festive spirit in Shanhai City grew thicker and thicker. Lanterns were hung up, people swarmed the streets, creating a really bustling scene.

The government offices were completing their administrative matters for the year and were waiting for the arrival of the Lunar New Year holidays. Based on the Great Xia system, they would have seven days, three days before and three days after.

At 9 AM, Lin Jing came to Shanhai City once again.

Looking at her delighted expression, Ouyang Shuo knew that she had gotten her hands on the treasure.

“Little Aunt is efficient!” Ouyang Shuo smiled.

“We have struck it rich this time!”

As she said that, Lin Jing descriptively introduced the experiences of the elite group from Snow-War Rose.

Chang An was the territory of Jin Yi Wei and belonged to the Yanhuang Alliance camp. To make it less suspicious, Lin Jing had to teleport her people batch by batch to Chang An.

Luckily, along with the Satellite City opening up, the guilds had placed their attention on the underground world.

After the elite group arrived in Chang An, based on the map, they found the treasure location; it was an abandoned residence. Lin Jing decided to spend money to rent it.

The following matters proceeded more smoothly. Through a well in the residence, they entered the treasury. As expected, it was filled with traps.

Even if the people she brought were experts at this, six of them still died. Luckily, after the system update, the cost of revival was much lower.

With the foundations of Snow-War Rose, along with their Satellite City business, searching for a few experience pills and cultivation pills was not difficult. The members that died could rise back quickly.

Of course, only the elite group members would receive such treatment.

Ever since the update, the experience pills and cultivation pills had become hot commodities. The top 10 guilds sent people to clear the stocks off the market.

No matter whether they needed it or not, the moment someone sold one, one of the top 10 guilds would sweep it up.

Just like that, more than 90% of the pills on the market entered their pockets. Only organizations like them with unlimited gold could do such a thing.

As for solo players, apart from those with good luck, even if they saw pills, they could not afford it.

This was unfair, but it was the truth.

The game world was more of a jungle than real life, and it thrived on the law of the jungle.

Gaia wanted to develop a group of strong people.

Apart from traps, the treasury also had a huge boss – Evil king Shi Zhixuan.

“After a tough battle, the elite group nearly all fell before finally killing him.” Although Lin Jing gave him a simple description, Ouyang Shuo was able to imagine the high intensity of that battle.

Luckily, the huge sacrifices were able to exchange for unexpected rewards.

Evil King Shi Zhixuan’s cultivation method, Sky Heart Sutra, phantom body technique, and invincible seal were all dropped; these were all Emperor Rank true secret manuals.

They also obtained a special item – evil emperor relic.

The relic that Gaia designed had huge amounts of primordial energy that players could absorb and turn into their own strength to raise their cultivation.

In comparison, the weapons and gold in the treasury seemed less eye-catching.

Although it was not eye-catching, that did not mean it was not worth money.

The treasury had vast quantities of weapons and armor, and they were all top grade items. It was undoubtedly a huge fortune for Snow-War Rose.

Amongst which, some were dark gold, while some were even platinum rank items.

With this batch of equipment, their combat strength was able to reach another stage.

“Little Shuo, you have given me the best New Year’s gift!” Lin Jing smiled as she said that.
