Xu Bai nodded and said,” It’s better to save the pain than to prolong it. During critical times, we should cut the Gordian knot quickly. All these malignant tumors will be eradicated and Great Chu will be restored to clarity.”
“Good!” “You and I are thinking the same thing,” the Chu Emperor said. “One month is enough.”
As he spoke, the Chu Emperor shouted towards the outside.
Eunuch Wei pushed open the door and walked in respectfully. He lowered his head and said nothing.
The memorial that he had shown Xu Bai at the beginning was handed over to
Eunuch Wei by the Chu Emperor.”Eunuch Wei, one month.”
Eunuch Wei took it and said in a cold tone,””The Dark Guards are here to smooth things over. Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I will give them a good reason to die.”
Eunuch Wei turned around and left.
After Eunuch Wei left, the Chu Emperor turned to look at Xu Bai.
“My dear minister, you can stay there for a month and read more books. After a month, I have something to talk to you about. After all…lt is not easy to get rid of those malignant tumors. I cannot be distracted.”
“During this period of time, you can stay in the Imperial Palace. Don’t worry, nothing will happen to you in the Imperial Palace.”
Xu Bai did not reject the Emperor’s idea. Since there were benefits, he could continue to work on the progress bar.
“Men.” “Bring Minister Xu to his residence and introduce him to the location of the royal treasury.”‘
The door was pushed open, and a man in black walked in and nodded respectfully.
“Lord Xu, please follow me.”
Xu Bai didn’t say much and followed behind.
However, before he left, he told the Emperor that many families in the Kingdom of the United States had helped him during this journey.
The Chu Emperor very naturally agreed, indicating that he would definitely not mistreat these clans.
After Xu Bai left, Eunuch Wei suddenly walked in.
“Your Majesty, has he left?”
“Let’s go.” The Chu Emperor returned to his seat and rubbed his forehead. “Have you given the instructions?”
Eunuch Wei replied,” Yes, I have. I also found out something. His Highness seems to have sent someone over to inquire about the reward His Majesty has given Lord Xu.””
“I knew that this little brother of mine wouldn’t be willing to accept this.””Eunuch Wei, tell your men to keep their mouths shut. We can’t let him find out anything.” Emperor Chu said helplessly.”
“Yes, sir!” Eunuch Wei nodded and left.
The Chu Emperor came to the door and looked at the scenery outside the window. No one knew what he was thinking.
Xu Bai was led by the man in black to an extremely luxurious house.
“This is your room.” “Lord Xu, are we going to the royal treasury now?” the man in black asked.”
“You’re a Dark Guard, right?” Xu Bai said.”
He had heard the Emperor mention this name before and saw that this person was dressed in black, so he had a guess.
The man in black admitted,” Yes, we play a secret role for His Majesty. We can be considered a different kind of Sky Inspectorate. ‘”‘
“All of you…Forget it.” Xu Bai wanted to say more, but when he thought of the royal treasury, he didn’t want to waste time.””Hurry up and bring me there. The food for this period of time might have to be sent over.”
“Yes.” The dark-robed guard said respectfully.
Following that, under the lead of the dark-robed guard, Xu Bai arrived at the royal treasury.
The Imperial Treasury was a huge pagoda-shaped building. It was divided into thirteen floors. From the bottom to the top, they represented treasures from the Ninth Stage to the Saint Realm.
There were all kinds of materials, weapons, pills, and books.
There weren’t many in each level, but those who could enter this level were the best of the best.
At the lowest level, there was an old woman in ordinary clothes standing guard.
When she saw Xu Bai and Ye Zi, the old lady continued to sleep in the rocking chair.
“Lord Xu, I won’t be going.” “The food will be delivered to the lowest floor every day. Lord Xu can just come down and get it when the time comes.”” He did not have the Emperor’s order, so he did not dare to enter at all.
Xu Bai nodded and brought Ye Zi up the stairs.
The old woman guarding the bottom floor did not care about Xu Bai and continued to sleep. She probably knew Xu Baits identity, so she did not stop him.
However, could feel that this old woman had a powerful aura similar to Eunuch Wei’s.
That’s right, it was an extremely powerful aura. Xu Bai guessed that this old woman was in charge of guarding the royal treasury.
To be able to guard this place, his strength was definitely not something that ordinary people could compare to.
Xu Bai secretly compared the old woman to Eunuch Wei and found that the two of them were equally matched, giving him the same feeling.
But he didn’t say much. Seeing that the old woman didn’t stop him, he didn’t say anything to disturb her.
For this kind of old expert, before he was familiar with the other party’s personality, it was better not to have too much communication. But sometimes, things just happened to move in the opposite direction.
Xu Bai brought Ye Zi and was about to step forward.
Unexpectedly, the old woman suddenly said, “”The Dark Guard has left.. Little friend, are you interested in chatting with me?”
