Everyone knows that the national treasury was the richest place in the entire Liao Kingdom.
Liu Fu came to the Liao Kingdom as a hostage, not to be mistreated, but because he had important business to attend to.
Just as Liu Fu was about to enter the tunnel, a system notification sounded:
"Ding! News of the Great Tiger Immortal's manifestation and the eight hundred Liao soldiers falling into the river has reached the Later Han Dynasty. The people all know about this. They believe that the host is protected by heaven and has divine assistance. His reputation has soared. Therefore, the host is rewarded with some reputation points!"
"Ding! The host has been drinking with over a hundred Liao generals in the camp of 600,000 Liao cavalry, and has drunk 29 of them to death. The emperor and his subjects of the Later Han Dynasty are aware of this, and the morale of the Later Han Dynasty has been greatly boosted. The news is being spread far and wide. The host is hereby rewarded with some reputation points!"
At this time, Emperor Liu Laowu of the Later Han Dynasty was overjoyed, and all the civil and military officials praised him.
According to popular legend, Liu Fu has become the reincarnation of the White Tiger Star from heaven, and is protected by the Fierce Tiger Immortal. He even sent eight hundred Liao soldiers to their deaths in the Black Dragon River. These stories have been embellished by storytellers and adapted into supernatural tales.
The fact that Liu Fu drank twenty-nine Liao generals to death in a drinking contest greatly boosted the morale of the Later Han Dynasty, allowing the long-oppressed Han people to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In the imperial court, Liu Laowu, looking radiant today, addressed the assembled ministers:
"Eighth Prince bought us time in the Liao Kingdom, and we can't let his good intentions go to waste. We must hurry up with the Great Wall construction. We can't let the people suffer the Liao soldiers' burning, killing, looting, and plundering year after year. We must be the first to tighten our belts and cut expenses from the palace. Our Han Dynasty must become strong and prosperous!"
The people of the Later Han Dynasty were united as one.
Meanwhile, news of Liu Fu's rampage through half the street in Liao Kingdom had not yet reached back home.
Otherwise, it will provoke another strong reaction.
After receiving the system reward, Liu Fu's reputation value has now reached over 140,000.
I only need 160,000 reputation points to upgrade a ferocious beast into a one-star exotic beast.
In the dead of night, without anyone noticing, Liu Fu had already arrived at the Liao Dynasty's treasury through the underground tunnel.
Unexpectedly, the Liao Kingdom's national treasury had taken quite a few protective measures.
The very bottom was actually cast with molten copper and iron, forming an impenetrable wall that prevented any possibility of theft.
However, these impenetrable walls could only stop ancient people with underdeveloped technology. For modern people like Liu Fu, anyone with a little common sense would know that all it takes to melt these metals is enough aqua regia.
Liu Fu
[Position]: Prince (First Rank)
[Reputation Value]: Points
[Mall Points]: 2285 points
Number of breeding troughs: 4 (4)
[Number of beasts in the army]: 0
Liu Fu directly searched for aqua regia in the points mall.
One pound of aqua regia requires 100 points.
They directly obtained ten kilograms of aqua regia and set up a sprayer to spray the aqua regia onto this underground copper-and-iron wall.
After doing all this, you only need to wait a few hours for all the metal barriers to corrode and melt.
Next to the national treasury was the Liao Dynasty's granary, where the harvested grain was stored.
Since the national treasury can only be accessed tomorrow, the Taicang can be dug up immediately.
With the help of the giant ground otter, Liu Fu infiltrated Taicang, which contained 500,000 shi of grain, equivalent to 6 million jin of military rations.
The harvest was plentiful; Liu Fu put all the grain into the animal breeding ranch.
The Liao Kingdom's Taicang, which was originally filled with a full granary of grain, was now emptied by Liu Fu, leaving not even a single grain of rice behind.
After completing these tasks, the prairie ground otter, under Liu Fu's arrangement, filled the passageway and returned to the inn.
Liu Fu slept all day at the post station the next day and redeemed two earplugs in the points mall. As long as he plugged his ears, he slept very comfortably.
He couldn't hear the howling and wailing of the Liao soldiers outside at all.
As the day went on, more and more Liao soldiers gathered outside, their voices hoarse from shouting and cursing.
Liu Fu still didn't react.
At night, with the help of the giant ground otter, Liu Fu returned to the national treasury.
By this time, the aqua regia had completely corroded the copper and iron walls at the bottom of the Liao Kingdom's treasury.
The prairie ground otter easily dug open the foundation, and Liu Fu sneaked inside.
As soon as Liu Fu entered the Liao Kingdom's treasury, he immediately lost consciousness.
Good heavens!
A gold ingot the size of a washbasin, one ingot is worth a thousand taels, which is equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver.
There were hundreds of these gold ingots piled up.
In addition, there were a large number of silver ingots the size of washbasins, each worth a thousand taels of silver, totaling several thousand.
Including other gold, silver, antiques, and paintings, the total value of the national treasury in this one place alone is no less than four million taels of silver.
Liu Fu immediately loaded all kinds of gold ingots, antiques and calligraphy and paintings into the animal breeding ranch.
Then he had the prairie ground otter fill in the passage, and returned to the inn without anyone noticing, doing so flawlessly that not a single trace was left.
The Liao Dynasty had more than one granary and multiple treasuries, in addition to the emperor's own private treasury.
Liu Fu's mouth was practically watering from craving.
If they could really empty the Liao Kingdom's treasury and granary, what use would their 600,000 cavalrymen be?
Without national strength and food supplies, even the strongest cavalry will soon crumble.
After emptying the national treasury, Liu Fu returned to the post station and slept soundly again.
Now, only the Liao Emperor is puzzled.
In the study, the Liao emperor put down the memorial he was reading.
Kneeling in front of him was a man, the commander of the capital's military garrison, responsible for the defense of the entire Liao capital.
The Liao Emperor listened silently to Commander Lan Qi's report, his brow furrowed.
"You're saying Liu Fu has been staying in the post station these past two days, without even stepping out the door? And without being disturbed in any way?"
Commander Lan Qi responded in response:
“Your Majesty, I dare not lie. That prince of the Later Han Dynasty is indeed very composed. Many times, when our troops roared and were about to rush into the post station, the prince ignored them completely, as if he had us completely under his control.”
The Liao emperor sighed silently, and after a long while, said helplessly:
"This boy is exceptionally bold, and his mentality is even more unusual. It seems that he has already seen through my bottom line and knows that I dare not touch him easily."
Commander Lan Qi asked cautiously:
"Your Majesty, what should I do next?"
After a moment's thought, the Liao emperor issued an edict:
"Evacuate everyone from the post station, leaving only Liu Fu. Cut off his water and food. An ordinary person would starve for seven days before dying, but this prince of the Later Han Dynasty will starve for five days first, and then I will summon him immediately."
Commander Lan Qi understood immediately upon hearing the Liao Emperor's words.
If no one serves Liu Fu for five days, he will inevitably be starving and on the verge of death, with disheveled hair and a dirty face.
Then we'll bring him to court, have him formally meet the Liao emperor, and appoint him as a hostage.
With Liu Fu so weakened, it was time to eliminate him.
No matter how capable he is, he will be weak from hunger. Killing him will be as easy as turning one's hand. Then, we can find a fake prince, put him in a human skin mask, and make him a hostage in Liaodu. Wouldn't that solve the problem?
