The information that Shen Buhai brought surprised Ouyang Shuo.
"Li Mi is dead!"
After Pei Renji revealed Li Mi's whereabouts, the Shadow Guards launched a secret arrest on him.
As a historical figure, before he joined any territory, Li Mi had the Divine Travel Talisman on him and could escape at any time. Therefore, it was not easy for the Shadow Guards to capture Li Mi.
Under the personal arrangement of Cui Tianqi, they finally captured Li Mi after more than a month.
However, Li Mi was extremely stubborn and would rather die than surrender. Cui Tianqi had no choice but to execute Li Mi on the spot and find two items on his corpse.
One was a name list of Li Mi's henchmen in the Sui Dynasty. As one of the heroes of the late Sui Dynasty, Li Mi had many allies in the Sui Dynasty. Ouyang Shuo was shocked.
The other was a treasure map. It was the Eunuch Yang's Treasury that had been circulating among the people for a long time.
"Interesting!"
Ouyang Shuo did not expect to receive such a surprise after killing Li Mi. He returned the name list to Shen Buhai and said, "Make a copy of this and send it to Yang Guang through a spy in Quanzhou."
With Yang Guang's personality and ambition, he would probably use this to stir up trouble in Quanzhou.
This was what Ouyang Shuo hoped for.
Just as Du Ruhui said, Quanzhou, Dali, and Chengdu were all hidden dangers. Ouyang Shuo had not thought of a way to cure them and could only infiltrate them slowly.
As for the treasure map of Eunuch Yang's Treasury, it was a little troublesome. Looking at the map, the treasury was in Chang'an City. Now that Li Shimin was in Chang'an City, the Mountain Sea Guards did not dare to dig for treasures in the city.
After some thought, Ouyang Shuo wrote a letter to his aunt, Lin Jing. "There's good news, come quickly!" It was more convenient for adventurers to do things in the Royal City.
Seeing that it was already six o'clock, Ouyang Shuo gave up on the idea of killing wang bodang.
…
On the morning of the 23rd, Lin Jing rushed to the Xia Palace.
"Shuo, what good news do you have for me?!"
In the entire world, only Lin Jing dared to speak to Ouyang Shuo like this. According to the rules, Lin Jing was a relative of the Great Xia Dynasty and had a high status.
Ouyang Shuo also thought of giving his aunt the title of Marquis, but she rejected it.
What did he mean by it wasn't time yet?
Ouyang Shuo did not mind. He handed over the treasure map to Eunuch Yang's Warehouse and said with a smile, "Take a look."
"Treasure map?!"
The more Lin Jing looked, the brighter his eyes became.
"Eunuch Yang's Warehouse is in Chang 'an City. I think it would be more convenient for you to send someone to retrieve the treasures," Ouyang Shuo explained.
Other than being able to move around easily without attracting the attention of the Great Tang Imperial Court, adventurers also carried storage pouches with them, allowing them to move the entire treasury without anyone noticing.
Even if there were traps or ghosts in the treasure vault, the elites of [Snow Rose] would be able to deal with them easily. This was what they had been doing since they entered the game.
Everyone had their own strengths.
"Tell me, how are you going to split it?" Lin Jing was very straightforward.
Even if the two of them were relatives, public affairs were public affairs and private affairs were private affairs. Even blood brothers would settle their accounts clearly.
Lin Jing naturally wouldn't directly take possession of the treasure map. In that case, why would Ouyang Shuo inform her if there was another good thing in the future?
"Rumor has it that there are many weapons and treasures in Eunuch Yang's Warehouse. There might even be other treasures. I don't want the weapons. You just need to convert the treasures into gold coins and give me a portion. "
Ouyang Shuo was very generous.
Eunuch Yang was referring to the Sui Dynasty's Duke of Chu, Yang Su. He was currently serving in Great Sui, and Ouyang Shuo naturally wasn't interested in Yang Su's weapons and equipment.
Ouyang Shuo, on the other hand, was in need of money. He still hadn't used the contract beast's wishing stone.
Lin Jing smiled in satisfaction. "Then it's settled. Wait for my news." As he spoke, he ignored Ouyang Shuo and went straight to the harem to talk to Bing 'er.
Ouyang Shuo was helpless.
His aunt was born with a dislike for men. It was already rare for her to talk so much with Ouyang Shuo.
…
After returning to the imperial study, Ouyang Shuo summoned Du Ruhui.
"Li Mi has been executed. From the letters found on Li Mi, he indeed had an ulterior motive in arranging for wang bodang to serve us. Talk to wang bodang. If he's willing to forget his old master and serve us wholeheartedly, that would be the best. I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, hand him over to the Ministry of Military Justice for trial and execution! "
"Understood!"
Du Ruhui was also very straightforward.
…
For the next two days, Ouyang Shuo stared at the navy generals and finally finalized the "Great Xia Navy Program". The generals also returned to their respective stations.
On the morning of the 25th, the matter of wang bodang was settled.
After learning that Li Mi had been executed, wang bodang wanted to act violently against Du Ruhui on the spot but was arrested by the guards. There was no doubt that he was a good man who was loyal to his master. Unfortunately, he couldn't be used by Great Xia.
On the same day, the Ministry of Military Justice executed wang bodang on charges of espionage and insubordination.
Wang bodang's death set off a small wave in the city guards.
Especially the second corps of the city guards where wang bodang was. There were many officers and soldiers who were close to wang bodang and admired his peerless archery skills.
With wang bodang's death, the officers and soldiers were naturally worried that they would be implicated.
The Ministry of Military Justice's Chief Feng Yunshan requested for instructions on how to deal with these suspicious officers and soldiers and whether to arrest all of them and strictly interrogate them to see if anyone was bewitched by wang bodang.
Ouyang Shuo received the report and used the approaching Spring Festival as an excuse to not increase the number of killings. He gently let bygones be bygones and did not pursue anyone.
He believed that even if there were officers and soldiers who were close to wang bodang, after the deaths of Li Mi and wang bodang, no one would be stupid enough to go against Great Xia and do anything irrational.
If they really pursued it, it would instead cause panic.
The army couldn't always be strict. Sometimes, they could show kindness and be lenient. It might even have a miraculous effect. Without the psychological burden, those officers and soldiers would naturally think of ways to serve the imperial court.
Shan Xiongxin, who served in the Somali Corps, was very sad when he learned about Li Mi and wang bodang.
Wang bodang was a hero and loyal. He shouldn't have such a miserable ending. The bad thing was that he followed the wrong master and was cheated twice in a row.
Even if he won a good reputation, so what?!
The dead wang bodang was just a pile of archived data, but the living wang bodang could display his talents in the future Hope Planet. It was really a world of difference.
…
Gaia Year 5, 3rd of February, 15th of December.
It would be Lunar New Year's Eve in half a month. The festive atmosphere in Shanhai City was getting more and more intense. There were lanterns and streamers everywhere, and the streets were bustling with people.
The government was also busy wrapping up the government affairs for the year and waiting for the arrival of the Spring Festival holiday. According to Great Xia's system, the Spring Festival holiday lasted seven days, three days before and three days after the festival.
Lin Jing arrived at Shanhai City again at nine in the morning.
Looking at the happy expression on his aunt's face, Ouyang Shuo knew that Eunuch Yang's Treasury must have been obtained.
"Aunt is indeed extraordinary," Ouyang Shuo said with a smile.
Lin Jing laughed heartily. "We've really struck it rich this time."
As he spoke, Lin Jing vividly described the treasure hunting experience of the Snow Rose elite team.
Chang 'an was the sphere of influence of the Embroidered Uniform Guards and belonged to the Yellow Emperor Alliance. In order to conceal it, Lin Jing had to arrange for the members to be teleported to Chang' an in batches.
Fortunately, with the opening of the satellite cities, the guilds focused their attention on the underground world.
After the elite team arrived in Chang 'an, they followed the map and found the location of the treasure, but it was an abandoned house. Lin Jing simply went all the way and spent money to rent the house.
What happened next was much smoother. Through an ancient well in the house, the elite team successfully entered the treasury. It was indeed filled with traps.
Even though Lin Jing brought along experts who were proficient in Gear Techniques, six of the fifty elite team members still died. Fortunately, after the Gaia update, the cost of players reincarnating was greatly reduced.
With Snow Rose's foundation and the control of the Jianye satellite city, it was not difficult to find a few Experience Pills and Training Pills. The members who died in battle would be able to make a comeback very quickly.
Of course, this was only the elite team's treatment.
Ever since the system update, the Experience Pills and Training Pills dropped in the underground world became very popular, and the supply could not meet the demand. For example, the top ten guilds, Snow Rose, even consciously arranged for people to sweep the market.
Regardless of whether they needed it or not, once someone sold it, it would be bought by the top ten guilds and hoarded.
As such, more than ninety percent of the pills in the market would end up in the hands of the top ten guilds. Only they had the wealth to purchase these pills in unlimited quantities.
As for loners, apart from a few lucky ones, even if they saw pills after reincarnation, they would not be able to afford them.
It was very unfair, but it was the reality.
The game world followed the law of the jungle, where the strong preyed on the weak and the fittest survived.
Gaia wanted to nurture warriors.
Other than the traps, there was a Boss in the treasury. It was none other than Evil King Shi Zhixuan.
"After a bitter battle, nearly all the elite team members were killed before we finally killed Evil King." Although Lin Jing described it casually, Ouyang Shuo could imagine the tragedy of the battle.
Thankfully, the huge number of casualties was exchanged for returns that exceeded expectations.
Evil King Shi Zhixuan's cultivation techniques, Divine One Heart Technique, Phantasm Movement Technique, and Undying Pressing Technique, all of which were Emperor-grade and priceless.
He even obtained a special item — Evil Emperor Relic.
Gaia's Evil Emperor Relic also contained a huge amount of True Origin, which could be slowly absorbed by players and turned into their own True Origin, greatly increasing their personal cultivation. It was truly an amazing treasure.
In comparison, the weapons and treasures in the treasury were not as eye-catching.
Not eye-catching did not mean that they were worthless.
There were a large number of weapons and armors in the treasury, each of which was of high quality. Moreover, many of them were custom-made for Martial Artists. To Snow Rose, it was undoubtedly a huge fortune, and it could greatly enrich the guild warehouse.
There was no lack of dark gold equipment, and even purple gold equipment, which were even more valuable.
With this batch of equipment, the overall strength of Snow Rose's combat team would rise to another level.
"Little Shuo, this is the best New Year's gift you can give your aunt!" Lin Jing said with a smile.
