In the instant that the fact reached Wen Yu's mind, a thought suddenly rose up.
Could it be, that Jun Xie had really found the Dark Emperor's tomb?
Wen Yu suppressed the shock in his heart and quietly observed Qiao Chu and the others who had come with Jun Xie. He suddenly discovered that the powers of these youths had all broken through to the Purple Spirit! And what shocked Wen Yu even more, was the devilishly charming looking man standing beside Jun Xie's throne with a sweet smile on his face.
With his powers, he was unable to detect that man's presence in the slightest!
In such a situation, it would only happen when the other party's powers far surpassed his own by several times!
Jun Xie's side, had actually hidden such an expert!
"Your Majesty, it's been a long time. Have you been well?" Lei Chen who had not noticed the change in Jun Xie's spirit powers asked with a smile.
Jun Xie nodded.
"Grand Adviser, My Lord, His Majesty has returned because of the matter with those monsters. Just tell His Majesty what you know and that will do." Qu Ling Yue said from the side, her tone slightly different from when she had spoken to Jun Xie.
Lei Chen nodded, secretly staring at Qu Ling Yue who had changed into a completely different person. Who would have thought that the ignorant and naïve little lass from back then would have turned into such a person? His heart was filled with emotions, but he could do nothing about it.
Lei Chen was mainly in charge of supplying the country's needs. With a great war, there would be expenditure and the expenditure of war was immense. If the Fire Country had only been protecting themselves, with the Fire Country's wealth, it would have been just a drop in the bucket. But the Fire Country had been constantly sending out troops to support the other countries and before the reinforcements were sent out, the military supplies, medicine and rations would be multiplied.
The Poison Men's blood was highly toxic and the lands that were tainted by the Poison Men's blood would suddenly become barren. That caused many fields to be destroyed and the source of food became a huge drain. The war had lasted for an entire year and within that one year, the Fire Country's accumulated wealth over the years had been emptied at an alarming rate.
Although the Qi Kingdom and the Buckwheat Kingdom had accepted the Condor Country's wealth, the Condor Country was warlike and they were a country that relied on war to fight. Their own treasury had been empty for many years and they basically did not have much to hoard.
Hence, the Fire Country not only had to supply the Fire Country's army alone, they had to take into account the Qi Kingdom and the Buckwheat Kingdom as well.
This had also greatly increased the drain on the Fire Country's Imperial Treasury. Now that the Imperial Treasury was completely emptied, Lei Chen was still worrying about how he was going to raise the rations.
This was the first time since the founding of the Fire Country, that they had to worry about money.
But now, the world was in chaos, and no country had an ample treasury. Even if they wanted to borrow money for emergencies, they didn't know when to do so.
They had combat power, but now they were stuck with money. This really made Lei Chen want to cry but no tears came out.
"Your vassal has already sent people to raise funds within the country, hoping that we will be able to hold out for a while longer. Our Fire Country is still faring a little better, but the Qi Kingdom and the Buckwheat Kingdom are in a much worse state, and it is not known how long they will be able to hold out for." Amidst the chaos of war, stabilizing the hearts of the people was the most important thing. The Fire Country not only had to feed their own citizens, they also had to provide for the refugees they had taken in from the other countries.
It was fortunate that the Fire Country was rich and its people strong, or they wouldn't have been able to afford it.
"There's no need to do that." Jun Wu Xie suddenly said.
Lei Chen looked at Jun Xie in surprise.
"But Your Majesty …" They were really out of money …
"Ye Jie." Jun Wu Xie turned her head slightly, and called out to the little girl hiding in a corner with the Hell Rodent in her arms.
Night Owl, whose name was called, looked up nervously.
