"Alright, let's see what's inside this storage bracelet!"
Chen Xiaobei released a stream of Ethereal Force and took E Huo Wuhan's storage bracelet into his hand. Then, he began to check what was inside.
If he hadn't seen it, he wouldn't have known, but the moment he saw it, he was shocked!
"Wow!"
Chen Xiaobei exclaimed. "This guy has 100 million high-grade Spiritual Stones! That's the same amount of Spiritual Stones as the treasury in Giant Axe City! "
"That's not surprising at all!"
Bai Feng explained. "Flaming Cloud City is the ruler of a region. There are 13 princes. Their status and power are far greater than the 36 governors under them. Naturally, their wealth is much more!"
"That's right!"
Zhang Chuteng said. "From what I know, E Huo Wuhan has 500 million high-grade Spiritual Stones. He carries 100 million with him so that he can act tough. The remaining 400 million is in his personal treasury!"
"This guy has a personal treasury?"
Chen Xiaobei's eyes lit up. "There are 13 princes in Flaming Cloud City! That means there are 13 treasuries of the same level! And the treasury of Flaming Cloud High King! Doesn't that mean we can get almost 10 billion high-grade Spiritual Stones? "
"Of course!"
Bai Feng said. "Flaming Cloud City is the ruler of a region. The 36 cities have to pay a large amount of tribute every year! In the treasury of Flaming Cloud City, there are probably 3 billion high-grade Spiritual Stones and countless high-grade resources! "
"Wow! This Firecloud Royal City is really overflowing with wealth! " When Chen heard that, he really wanted to rush to Flaming Cloud King City and take everything that belonged to the enemy for his own!
"Not just the tributes!"
Zhang Chuteng added. "Flaming Cloud City implements a 70% tax system! For every ten Spiritual Stones that the people earn, they have to pay seven to the government! Furthermore, E Huo Yuntian has also used various methods to extort the wealth of the people and earned a lot of black money! "
"If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked!" Chen Xiaobei said coldly. "Look at the situation in Giant Axe City. You can guess the situation in Flaming Cloud City!"
"That's right …" Bai Feng sighed. "More than half of the taxes collected by the major cities are used as tribute to Flaming Cloud City! Most of the people's suffering is because of Flaming Cloud City! "
"That's right!"
Zhang Chuteng nodded heavily and said, "I heard that His Majesty declared that the entire Great Axe City would be exempted from taxes on the day he conquered it a month ago! If Your Majesty can really breach Fire Cloud Royal City, not to mention tax exemptions, even if it's just a slight reduction in taxes, that would be a blessing for the people! "
As soon as he said this, everyone present nodded in agreement.
Taxes were related to everyone's personal interests.
They didn't ask for it to be completely free, but as long as it could be lowered slightly, everyone would be able to obtain tangible benefits. Naturally, they would also be sincerely grateful.
"Don't worry!"
Chen Xiaobei raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as the plan goes smoothly, I will be able to conquer Flaming Cloud Kingdom in ten days!"
As soon as he said that, the crowd burst into an uproar. "What? Ten days later? Take down Fire Cloud Royal City? How … how is this possible??? "
In everyone's eyes, ten days later would be the doomsday of Bei Xuan's army and Giant Axe City!
Even if their imaginations were off the charts, they could not imagine how Chen Xiaobei was going to counterattack the Flaming Cloud Kingdom that had the upper hand.
"My plan needs to be carried out step by step. I can only take it one step at a time! That's why I can't explain it to you now! You just have to wait and see! "
Chen Xiaobei smiled and continued to look through E Huo Wuhan's Storage Bracelet.
After counting, there were three Earth-God Instruments, one six-star and two five-star. Chen Xiaobei was not interested in any of them, so he threw them into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Other than that, there were some miscellaneous resources. They were not low-level but not very useful, so they were all thrown into the furnace.
In the end, only a key and a token were left!
"This key is the key to E Huo Wuhan's personal treasury!"
Zhang Chuteng said. "As for the token, it's E Huo Wuhan's Small Firecloud Token! This is the symbol of a prince! It's also the token that proves E Huo Wuhan's identity! "
"Understood!"
Chen Xiaobei nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, you want me to bring this Small Firecloud Token and E Huo Wuhan's body to Mount Han City?"
"That's right!"
Bai Feng said. "Bring these two things, and the fake E Huo Wuhan that Your Majesty transformed into, and you will definitely be able to conquer Mount Han City!"
"Alright! Then let's not waste any more time. Let's depart now! "Chen Xiaobei could not wait any longer.
…
After giving detailed instructions, Bai Feng asked the nobles in White Wolf City to spread the news about what happened today. He wanted the whole city to know that Chen Xiaobei was the Fiery King's messenger and that Flaming Cloud City was his mortal enemy!
Everyone in White Wolf City was extremely devout in their faith. Even if they were threatened with death, they would not reveal the secret!
So, there was no harm in spreading this news in advance. Instead, it would help Chen Xiaobei gain more believers and control the whole city!
After that, Chen Xiaobei brought Liu Xuanxin, Old Mondo, Bai Feng, and Zhang Chuteng with him. The five of them left for Mount Han City overnight!
…
The next morning, they arrived at Mount Han City without a hitch!
Everyone could guess that this city had something to do with the mountains, but they did not expect it to be a city built on top of a mountain range!
"That's weird …"
Chen Xiaobei frowned. "There's a large piece of fertile land at the foot of the mountain, and the weather is very comfortable! But on this mountain ridge, the wind is bone-chilling, and not a single blade of grass grows! Why is the city built on top of the mountain, and not at the foot of the mountain? "
Bai Feng said in a deep voice, "Because the people of Mount Han City can only live in the cold! The warm weather will cause their bodies to fester, and they will be in so much pain that they will wish they were dead! "
"What's going on? Is it because they have a special constitution?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"No …" Zhang Chuteng shook his head.
Zhang Chuteng shook his head. "The original capital city of Mount Han was truly built at the base of the mountain. The common people all liked the radiant sunlight and warm weather! If it wasn't for the war, they would not have moved to the mountain! "
"War?
Since the people like the sunshine and warmth, why would they not be able to survive in the warm weather because of the war? "Chen Xiaobei was getting more and more confused.
"You will know the answer to this matter later!" Bai Feng Changyi said, "The Lord of Cold Mountain City has come to greet us personally! Let's go over first! "
"Brother Changyi! What kind of wind blew you here? Welcome! Welcome! "A white-haired old man, surrounded by a group of followers, walked towards Chen Xiaobei.
"This is the governor of Mount Han City?" Chen Xiaobei frowned. He could tell that the old man was not in good health.
