Chen Shiyu tightened his grip on his back: His Highness always told him to remain calm in his dealings with others, and to keep his composure even when faced with a collapsing mountain.
But it's really hard to stay calm when faced with a group of bandits who have come to rob you!
Fearing he might not be able to resist fighting the bandits on the spot, Chen Shiyu sent four trusted guards to accompany Ji Fengyao and the other three into the treasury.
With one person watching over another, there shouldn't be any chance of anything going wrong, right?
Besides, even if the four of them were incredibly strong, could each of them carry several boxes?
"Your young master is so thoughtful and considerate, even knowing to send helpers to me." Ji Fengyao was very happy and waved to the four guards: "Come, go and bring two empty boxes over with us."
A shopping cart is readily available, so why not use it?
The four guards: "..."
I was extremely resistant!
But when they looked back, their eldest son had already abandoned them, the poor little ones.
The Duke's mansion's treasury is not comparable to the national treasury.
Within the national treasury, Ji Fengyao had to give Shang Xiye some face and couldn't go too far.
Because the state treasury's abundance is related to the fate of the nation; Shang Xiye is the guardian deity of the Great Zhao, and she cannot go against his wishes.
But the Duke's treasury is different; it's the Duke of Chen's private treasury, so it's free money if you don't take it.
Moreover, on the way here, Black Owl said that the Duke's mansion has two warehouses: an open warehouse and a hidden warehouse.
The secret vault was three times the size of the open vault, containing spoils of war and tributes amassed by generations of the Chen family.
They are now entering the Mingku, where many of the items have shady origins.
Ji Fengyao was not going to hold back!
No matter what it is or what its value is, if it looks good and can be added to the "shopping cart", then add it to the "shopping cart";
If you can't add something to your "cart," just sneakily grab it!
As a result, the four guards often felt something moving behind them, but when they turned around, there was nothing there.
All that remained were questions like, "Was there a jade Buddha statue behind me just now?" and "Did I remember wrong? I clearly saw a seven-colored glass bottle here just now, how come it's gone?"
But seeing that the bandits were not carrying those things, and that they were not in the boxes they were carrying either, they could only conclude that they were too nervous and stressed, and were hallucinating.
But after walking around the treasury, was it just an illusion that it was half empty when they came in?
After they came out, the four guards kept turning back, looking at the treasury with puzzled expressions, and then at Ji Fengyao and her three companions who had nothing in their hands.
"Everything I took is here. Duke Chen said it needs to be registered and recorded. Why don't you hurry up and write it down?" Ji Fengyao urged the group with good intentions but impatience.
The first rule of robbery: swift and decisive!
You must leave the battlefield quickly before the kidnapped party reacts or sends reinforcements!
Any hesitation after you've succeeded is a waste of time and a form of slow suicide.
"Can't read? Do you want me to memorize them for you? I've snatched a few books myself and know a few words," Ji Fengming suggested considerately.
The four guards dared not let him make a move.
They were supposed to have ten items, but they only recorded five. Who can they complain to?
Thus, with the bandits working together in unity, they completed the registration and record-keeping at the fastest speed in history.
Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao didn't need their help; each of them carried a full box of medicinal herbs.
The four men swaggered into the front hall, briefly bid farewell to Duke Chen, and without even a sip of tea, slipped away.
