Chapter 302 Let Wei Li stand up quickly
Wang Hai's steps were unsteady as he returned to his bedroom, kneeling down to report, "Your Majesty... I didn't catch the man. I failed in my duty. Please punish me!"
Emperor Long Yuan's bloodshot eyes slowly shifted, settling on Wang Hai. His lips moved, but no sound emanated.
The entire bedroom was tightly protected by the imperial guards, but even in this situation, Su Jiuni could still come and go freely as if she was in an empty place.
It’s not that the Royal Guards are incompetent, it’s that the other side is too strong.
His mind told him so, but the anger and fear still burned in his heart and were difficult to calm down.
Outside the palace, hurried footsteps could be heard. Someone at the palace gate shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The inner treasury is burned, burned down... After the fire was out, I checked and counted everything. Nothing was left. The items in the treasury were not burned. I suspect they were all stolen before the fire started... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please understand!"
Emperor Long Yuan was bewildered at first, but when he came to his senses, his eyes suddenly widened, and he staggered to the dragon bed and opened the secret cabinet on the bed... It was empty.
The little box is gone.
Su Jiuni stole his treasure, which was a fragment of the magic weapon map belonging to his Longyuan Kingdom!
"Su Jiuni!!" Emperor Long Yuan was so angry that his eyes turned black and he fainted.
The emperor fainted, and chaos broke out all around him.
At this moment, two figures jumped out of the palace wall together, and then disappeared among the buildings outside the palace in an instant.
Just across the street, the young boy and girl remained calm as they listened to the chaotic shouting of the patrolling guards.
The city patrol guards probably don’t have time to deal with them now because the silver in the Ministry of Revenue’s treasury has also been stolen.
We arrived at the dock outside the city, boarded the ship and met up with the people waiting inside, and the ship sailed away in a grand manner.
The emperor's order to impose martial law at the dock was delayed because of a fire in the palace and the near loss of the dragon head, and the order had not yet been passed down.
By the time the officers and soldiers rushed to the dock in a rage, the suspicious ship had already disappeared.
"Tianbao, come quickly and let grandpa see what good things are hidden in the Longyuan Palace!" The cabin of the moving transport ship was bustling with activity. The old man Du was rubbing his hands and looking eagerly, eager to see the wonders.
Tian Bao tilted his neck back and pretended to be embarrassed. "Maybe not. The cabin is too small."
Everyone's mouths twitched, and you just showed off.
Tianbao smiled and threw out the things worth rewarding, including precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, and of course the emperor's private collection of fine medicinal herbs. Finally, there was the wooden box, which contained a fragment of a magic weapon map that was perfectly preserved, smooth and without any rough edges.
The bearded man laughed heartily, "If this thing is lost, Emperor Long Yuan will probably feel more distressed than if he had lost a piece of the imperial treasury."
"I suspect every royal family has a fragment of this divine weapon diagram, using it to check and balance each other, keeping them on guard. They're afraid that whoever obtains the complete divine weapon diagram will dominate." Bai Xiaofeng didn't know whether to laugh or not. "Now we have two pieces, which means our piece of meat is even more delicious. We will face more and more crises and traps in the future."
Du Buqin disagreed. "According to what you said, since all countries are afraid of others possessing divine weapons, why don't they burn the fragments of the divine weapon map they have? That way, the map will never be complete again. Wouldn't it be much easier and less troublesome to just cut off the source of the trouble?"
"Why is it that everyone is wary of others becoming dominant, yet everyone harbors ambitions to dominate?"
The adults were discussing the picture of the magic weapon, while the younger ones were regretting the money.
"What a pity! The official silver in each country's treasury is marked and cannot be used. The silver mountain can only be left there like a stone." Su An didn't know how much silver a country's treasury usually had, but it was definitely measured in mountains. After feeling regretful, he laughed so hard that he fell down, holding his stomach. "But if I can make the Emperor of Longyuan feel bad, I'm so happy, hahahaha!"
Su Wen tutted his words. "Isn't that shortsighted? Official silver can't be used directly. It's not that it can't be used. Just ask Uncle Changdong and Uncle Big Beard to change the appearance of the silver. Isn't it still silver?"
Su Wu admired this idea very much.
Listening to the young and old chatting, Tianbao just stood there with his chin in his hand and smiled.
"Are you regretting that you can't just take the head of Emperor Long Yuan?" Beside her, the young man held his chin with the same action as her, smiling lazily.
Tian Bao sighed, "We're just playing small-scale games. The other nations, wary of our capabilities, might turn a blind eye for now, lest they force us into a head-on confrontation and inflict further losses. But if we kill Emperor Long Yuan directly, the other emperors will surely fear for their lives and strike first. If the real fight comes then, the situation we face will be completely different. We can't handle it yet."
The most important thing is that Wei Li can't afford to argue now.
Although the land of exile is an unruly place, it is also under the jurisdiction of Dai Viet. Once the various countries gather together and start a war, Dai Viet will be defeated on its own.
No eggs are safe when the nest is overturned, and no place of exile can be saved.
Grandpa, grandma, parents, uncles, aunts, all her relatives were there.
In this life, Tianbao has no ambitions. He only wants to protect the people he wants to protect and make them safe throughout their lives, and to be a free and easy person in the world.
So far, although her actions seem reckless, she actually knows how to act in moderation.
It's stepping on the bottom line of all countries.
If those people hadn't set their sights on the Land of Exile and her first, she might not have confronted them.
The little girl looked indifferent and old-fashioned, which was both amusing and frustrating. Bai Yu poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her, saying half-jokingly, "Write a letter to Wei Li later and tell him to stand up straight, so that he won't have to worry about his country after a fight."
Tian Bao nodded seriously and reached out to take the teacup, "Tell him to hurry up."
Before he could finish his words, a soft clang was heard.
The teacup fell on the coffee table, and the spilled tea soaked her clothes.
Tian Bao was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "I didn't hold it firmly."
"I put it away too early." The young man put the cup away and wiped the tea stains on the low table with a handkerchief. "Go change your clothes."
The girl hummed and left her seat.
The young and old people around were chatting happily and no one noticed this little episode.
After the girl left, Bai Yu stopped wiping, and the hand holding the handkerchief tightened into a fist little by little, his knuckles turned white and trembled slightly.
Just now, Tianbao took the teacup and his fingers began to clench just outside the teacup.
It wasn't that she didn't hold it firmly, nor was it that she saw it wrong.
...bloody worms, hallucinogenic!
"Hey, hey? Bai Yu? What are you doing? Did Tianbao bully you again? Why do you look so upset? That's impossible. I've never seen you get angry even when Tianbao beat you so badly before. Hiss! Could it be that - Tianbao insulted you?!" Su Wu's noisy jokes made the three brothers burst into laughter.
Bai Yu threw the wet handkerchief at the three of them. When he looked up again, his expression was normal. "Wait, Tianbao will come later and let you suffer the insult too."
After saying that, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the cabin.
"Where are you going?"
"Change clothes!"
