Yesterday, High Priest Yan Ping returned to Fengdu Holy Temple to report.
Seeing Hidden Island Young Lord Fang Qingyi's expectant gaze, he immediately shook his head.
"Princess Jung Yeon is an even more difficult opponent than Søren." Yan Ping said, "Her vision, breadth of mind, and wisdom are no less than Søren's, but she is more rational and calm. Don't pin your hopes on her."
Fang Qingyi said in disbelief, "Is she just going to let Søren confiscate the properties of all the nobles in Royal City? Let the entire Raging Wave Kingdom be completely destroyed? "
Yan Ping nodded and said, "The worst-case scenario she predicted is even more pessimistic than we imagined. She feels that she and Søren will become the public enemy of the world, and the entire Raging Wave Kingdom will be in complete chaos. "
Fang Qingyi said, "Even so, she is still not willing to compromise?"
Yan Ping said, "Yes, she is not willing to compromise."
Fang Qingyi said, "Does she love Søren that much? She is actually willing to let the entire kingdom be buried with him? "
Yan Ping said, "Of course not. She is prepared to lose the entire kingdom again and ascend the throne in Tianshui City. Then she will make a comeback and spend three to five years to conquer the entire Raging Wave Kingdom, a completely clean Raging Wave Kingdom. "
Fang Qingyi said in shock, "Then that is a change of dynasty."
Yan Ping said, "It can be considered half a change of dynasty. The royal family will not change, but the entire ruling class will be completely overthrown."
Fang Qingyi was completely shocked speechless!
If it was Jung Yeon or Søren, Fang Qingyi would think that it was a big talk.
But facing such a husband and wife duo, even if the kingdom was really in chaos and warlords divided, they could really conquer the entire Raging Wave Kingdom in three to five years.
This possibility was more than 70%!
If it had been someone else, Fang Qing would have said that Søren would definitely plot to usurp the throne, and Jung Yeon would definitely have hidden her bow after she had served her purpose.
But now, Princess Jung Yeon had used facts to prove that she would never hide her bow after she had served her purpose. Even in this desperate situation, she was unwilling to abandon Søren. What else could make her hide her bow after she had served her purpose?
As for Søren's behavior …
Whoever dares to touch my family, I will exterminate their entire clan. He would rather risk the destruction of his entire foundation than let his elder sister marry him.
You are saying that he will try to usurp the throne, and to usurp the throne of his own son?
It was impossible to think with an egg.
Fang Qingyi sighed, "This woman, Jung Yeon, is much harder to deal with than her father."
Then, everyone fell into silence!
Yan Ping said, "Young Master Fang, Søren and Princess Jung Yeon have also sent you a gift."
He handed the box in his hand to the young master of Hidden Island, Fang Qingyi.
Fang Qingyi took it and immediately smelled blood. He opened it to take a look.
Swoosh …
A complete piece of human skin fell off.
Instantly, Fang Qingyi staggered and took half a step back. Then, his hair stood on end and his scalp went numb!
This human skin belonged to his former teacher, the trusted aide of Hidden Island, the head shopkeeper of King City's Golden Cruise, Fang Zeming!
Flames of extreme anger rose to the sky!
"Søren is too audacious! How dare he skin my trusted aide of Hidden Island!" Fang Qingyi roared, "A lowly commoner of a mere human kingdom dares to look down on Hidden Island? To trample on the dignity of Hidden Island like this, one day I will tear him into pieces! "
Rogue's eyes narrowed. "He is already prepared to fight to the death. Why would he care about the dignity of Hidden Island?"
That's right, all the cards had been played. Even the trump card had been thrown out.
What else could Hidden Island do? Were they really going to send the Temple Army to exterminate Søren?
Start a war between the Dragon Temple and the secular royalty? What a joke!
…
"A life and death struggle. Søren has already made up his mind. He will make his move soon." Rogue said, "We should think of a way to deal with it. Tomorrow at dawn, he will send the royal guards to search all the nobles in King City."
The young master of Hidden Island, Fang Qingyi, said, "We will inform these nobles to move their assets and gather their forces to resist Søren."
Rogue asked, "How much gold do the nobles in King City have in their vault?"
"More than ten million." The young master of Hidden Island, Fang Qingyi, said, "These nobles like to hide their gold and silver in their vault because they don't trust anyone, including King City's Golden Cruise. They will only store their gold and silver in King City's Golden Cruise when needed. "
Rogue said, "They are right. King City's Golden Cruise is indeed unreliable. More than ten million gold will disappear without a trace."
Fang Qingyi chuckled. "Hehe."
Yan Ping asked, "The entire King City's Golden Cruise has about 15 million gold coins in reserve. Zhi Li used 4 million, so there is still 11 million left. Who saved so many gold coins? "
Fang Qingyi said, "20% is the nobles', 10% is the kingdom's treasury's revolving gold and silver, borrowed from the Hidden Era Association. The remaining 70% is the savings of the commoners. Only they will care about the interest. "
Everyone present was shocked when they heard that.
In other words, out of the 15 million gold coins, 10 million was the commoners' savings. The Raging Wave Kingdom had done a good job of hiding wealth among the commoners.
Fang Qingyi said, "I was also surprised when I got the data. Guess which group of people has the highest percentage of the 10 million gold coins in King City's Golden Cruise?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Fang Qingyi said, "Brothel girls. The brothel girls in the Raging Wave Kingdom have more than 2.3 million gold coins in King City's Golden Cruise. This is unbelievable."
In the entire human kingdom, the brothel industry was legal. The total number of brothel girls in the Raging Wave Kingdom would exceed 300,000.
In other words, on average, each brothel girl had eight gold coins in King City's Golden Cruise. (Equivalent to more than 100,000 RMB)
The women in the brothel had the strongest sense of crisis. They desperately saved up every penny in order to survive after they got old and turned over a new leaf.
This money was really more than ten years of their lives. It was their hope for the rest of their lives.
From a moral point of view, these brothel girls were unclean.
But from Søren's point of view, this huge group of brothel girls was indeed a very important part of his power map.
It was common knowledge that soldiers liked to go to the brothel to vent their lust after receiving their pay.
Therefore, over time, they no longer looked down on the brothel girls like ordinary people. Instead, they had more feelings for them.
After these brothel girls turned over a new leaf, most of them were married to these soldiers.
These soldiers were brave and powerful. Moreover, after playing in the brothel for a long time, they were open-minded and would not look down on these girls.
After getting married, these soldiers had no money, but these brothel girls had money. The husband and wife made up for each other's shortcomings, and the whole family was still relatively harmonious.
This time, more than 10 million gold coins in King City's Golden Cruise had disappeared. This also meant that the brothel girls' livelihood had been cut off.
Not every brothel girl lived a life of luxury and made a fortune every day.
Most of the brothel girls received a customer for less than one silver coin. Moreover, the brothel would take 70% of their earnings.
More than ten gold coins were the savings of their entire career. Once this money disappeared, the only way out for them would probably be to hang themselves.
Therefore, when Søren was at his wit's end, he would rather confiscate the properties of the nobles in King City and return the money to this group of people.
After the nobles had their properties confiscated, they could still wear luxurious clothes and eat luxurious food.
Once many commoners lost their lifetime savings, they could only seek death.
The Holy Priest bowed and said, "Spread the news to the nobles in King City that Søren has lost his mind. Tomorrow morning, he will confiscate all the nobles in the kingdom to fill the deficit of the national treasury and fill his own pockets. Also, tell them that the Dragon Temple is merciful and is willing to accept their asylum. "
"Good!" Fang Qingyi said, "This is a good idea. Søren's Imperial Guards would not dare to rush into the Dragon Temple to capture people. Since Søren wants to confiscate the nobles to fill the deficit, then we will not let him confiscate much money. Even if he becomes the public enemy of the world, he will still not be able to fill the kingdom's deficit. "
…
Since last night, the entire King City had been in a state of panic. Rumors had spread everywhere.
They said that the gold coin reserves of King City's Golden Cruise had disappeared. They said that the national treasury had a deficit of tens of millions. They could not even pay the next month's soldiers and officials' salaries.
Søren was at his wit's end. He wanted to confiscate the properties of all the nobles in King City!
Immediately, all the nobles in the kingdom were scared out of their wits. However, they were also furious!
It was still the same old saying. Whoever wants to cut off my road to wealth, I will cut off their road to life!
Søren was very powerful. All the nobles in the kingdom were silent in front of him.
But if Søren wanted to confiscate their properties, then their only choice was to immediately rise up and fight to the end!
So overnight, all the nobles in King City acted as if they were facing a great enemy. Every servant and every warrior did not sleep at all. They picked up their weapons and guarded every place.
Almost all the nobles made up their minds. As long as Søren issued the decree to confiscate their properties, they would immediately join forces and organize armed forces to fight against Søren's Imperial Guards to the end.
There were more than hundreds of nobles in King City.
When these warriors, servants, and servants of the nobles organized themselves, there would be at least a hundred thousand soldiers.
In addition to the city guards that had been corrupted by them, there would be an army of two hundred thousand soldiers.
So as long as Søren issued the decree to confiscate their properties, it would mean that a war would immediately break out in King City.
However, these nobles were like a group of dragons without a leader. Even if they had a hundred thousand people, they would definitely suffer a crushing defeat against sixty to seventy thousand Imperial Guards.
But once a few hundred thousand people started a war in King City, about half of the area of Fengdu, one of the four major human cities with nearly a hundred years of history, would be reduced to ruins.
Moreover, once they had the Dragon Temple as their backer, the consequences would be even more unthinkable.
However, these nobles were still unwilling to believe that Søren would really come to confiscate their properties.
There had never been such a thing in history. Plundering the nobles' gold coins to make up for the untouchables?
Even if Søren was out of his mind, he would not do such a thing! He, Søren, was also a member of the top nobles. Would he speak up for the interests of the untouchables?
Moreover, not long ago, the untouchables in King City were still shouting that Søren would be punished by the heavens.
Therefore, when the Dragon Temple informed these nobles to bring their properties to the Dragon Temple to seek refuge, these nobles were grateful, but there were only a few who actually entered the Dragon Temple to seek refuge.
First of all, there was a curfew last night, so they could not move on a large scale.
Secondly, once they entered the Dragon Temple, it was tantamount to standing on the opposite side of Søren.
Søren was too powerful. Standing on the opposite side of him was too terrifying. If the so-called rumor of confiscating properties was false, then everyone had offended Søren for nothing. Wouldn't that be courting death?
In order to prevent Søren from plundering even a single gold coin, Fang Qingyi, Yan Ping, and the others talked until their mouths were dry. However, these nobles did not believe it and were unwilling to offend Søren by seeking refuge in the Dragon Temple.
Fang Qingyi, Yan Ping, and the others were about to explode from anger!
How noble were their identities? Normally, when facing these nobles, they would not even bother to look at them, let alone take the initiative to speak up.
But now, in order to cut off Søren's path of survival, they tried their best to persuade the nobles to enter the Dragon Temple.
In the end, these smart nobles were extremely respectful, but they were still unwilling to go.
That was because they were too smart. The nicer they sounded, the more they did not believe it. There must be a trap if they were unaccountably solicitous.
Therefore, at this time, both the Hidden Island and the Fengdu Divine Temple were extremely eager for Søren's decree to confiscate properties.
This way, these lowly nobles of Fengdu could be slapped hard in the face.
The best outcome would be for the nobles to transfer their properties to the Dragon Temple, and then have a civil war with Søren.
This way, Søren would not be able to plunder many gold coins. Instead, there would be countless casualties, and he would become the public enemy of the world.
This was called losing one's wife and one's soldiers. It could not be any better!
…
After daybreak, the nobles saw tens of thousands of Forbidden Guards gathering in front of the palace!
Instantly, all the nobles were completely uneasy. Was Søren really going to risk universal condemnation and confiscate the properties of all the nobles in the royal city? Was he really going to become the public enemy of the world?
As for the Hidden Island faction that Fang Qingyi represented, and the Fengdu Divine Temple, they were all eagerly waiting for Søren to issue the decree to confiscate properties!
After a night, Fang Qingyi and the Fengdu Divine Temple came up with an even more vicious plan!
Once this plan succeeded, not only would Søren, Jung Yeon, and Gui Bian all die, but the colonization of the Raging Wave Kingdom would also be a complete success.
Once Søren's decree to confiscate properties was issued, Fengdu would erupt into a huge civil war!
All of Fengdu would be in complete chaos, and even turned into ruins.
And if … the Divine Temple Army was hidden among them, pretending to be nobles and participating in this civil war.
Would they be able to completely defeat the Forbidden Guards? Kill Søren and the entire Gui Family?
Yes, this was a great chance!
Søren's army in Tianshui City had yet to enter Fengdu. He only had about 60,000 Forbidden Guards on hand.
And the Fengdu Divine Temple had more than 10,000 of the most elite Divine Temple Army!
Taking advantage of the civil war, they would mobilize the Fengdu Divine Temple's top military force to kill Søren and Jung Yeon, then shift the blame to the nobles in Fengdu City!
After Gui Bian, Jung Yeon, and Søren were dead!
The Fengdu Divine Temple would step in to stabilize the situation, rescue Si Wei's son, Jiu You, and make him the new king of the Raging Wave Kingdom!
By then, this king would be completely reduced to a puppet of the Hidden Island and the Dragon Temple.
The plan to colonize the Raging Wave Kingdom from Hidden Island would be a complete success!
Looking at the horizon, Fang Qingyi said in his heart, "Søren, quickly issue the decree to confiscate properties! The time of destruction, come quickly! "
…
Under the protection of Gao Yin and Zhuang Zhixuan, Søren once again entered the headquarters of the Gold Airship in Fengdu City!
At this moment, the 5,000 Royal Guards had already guarded the entire Gold Airship tightly!
As soon as the Griffin landed, Søren immediately rushed into the underground treasury. Using the key and the complicated password wheel, he opened the door of the treasury again.
Of course, a miracle would not happen, and it was still empty!
Søren said loudly, "Zhuang Zhixuan, use your knife to dig the ground of the treasury."
Zhuang Zhixuan was stunned. She took over Søren's Golden Dragon Sword and started to cut the ground.
"Master, the ground is a layer of iron, one inch thick!" Zhuang Zhixuan easily cut open the ground and found that it was a layer of iron shell.
After cutting it open, they found that there was a layer of hard rock under the iron shell.
Søren's heart turned cold. Could it be that his premonition was wrong?
Could it be that the Hidden Island had really transported away the 5,000 carts of gold and silver without anyone knowing?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
In just 20 days, no matter how resourceful the Hidden Island was, it was impossible for them to secretly transport 5,000 carts of gold and silver under the eyes of the Shadow Pavilion.
"Dig deeper!" Søren said.
Zhuang Zhixuan continued to dig. After prying open a layer of iron shell, she pried open another layer of rock. The rock was five inches thick.
Then, a layer of soil was revealed below!
Suddenly, Søren was in complete despair. Could it be that there was really nothing in this treasury?
"Dig deeper!" Søren said.
Zhuang Zhixuan continued to dig. After digging for only half a foot, she touched a layer of hard material.
Her heart trembled, and she quickly dug deeper.
Then …
A ray of golden light suddenly flashed out!
Zhuang Zhixuan used the Golden Dragon Sword to dig with all her might. Beside her, Gao Yin also dug with all his might!
In just a short while, they had dug out four to five square meters of golden ground!
That's right, there were no gold coins or coins in this treasury.
There was only golden ground!
The entire treasury was one and a half feet underground, and it was all gold.
The Yin Yuanhui had melted all the gold and silver coins and poured them directly on the ground, layer after layer!
A total of 9,000 tons of gold and silver had become part of the treasury's ground.
It was no wonder that more than 10 million gold coins and 9,000 tons of gold and silver had disappeared without a trace.
Because it did not matter whether it was gold or silver coins. As long as it was gold and silver, it was fine.
If it was melted and poured into the ground, even immortals could not steal it!
After Zhi Li's defeat, it was not that the Yin Yuanhui did not want to move this batch of gold and silver reserves, but that they could not move it.
Moreover, they felt that Søren would not discover this secret at all. He would only think that the gold inside had disappeared.
But who would have thought that when Søren was fighting Jung Yeon last night, his mind was still thinking about the gold reserves.
After he fell asleep last night, he had a vague dream.
It was like an old landlord continuously pouring silver water on the ground, layer after layer.
This morning, he vaguely remembered a dream. In ancient China, the Jin Shang family had too much silver stored in their treasury. They were afraid that it would be stolen, so they melted all of it into silver water and poured it directly on the ground.
They used silver to pour into the underground treasury, so that no one could steal it.
If the Jin Shang family did this, would the Yin Yuanhui do the same?
Therefore, Søren immediately rushed to the treasury of King City's Gold Ship headquarters and dug three feet underground. Indeed, he found this batch of gold and silver!
There was an astronomical amount of gold and silver, a total of 9,000 tons of gold and silver!
"Hahahaha …" Søren laughed loudly and was wild with joy. He suddenly pushed Zhuang Zhixuan onto the golden ground and started biting her beautiful cheeks and sexy red lips. His hands were rubbing her hot body.
And Zhuang Zhixuan also responded enthusiastically. She even took the initiative to put her hand into Søren's pants.
The great eunuch Gao Yin chuckled and looked at Søren lovingly. He quietly retreated with the Shadow Pavilion's experts. The entire private space of the treasury was handed over to the passionate couple, Søren and Zhuang Zhixuan.
