Of course, those who attended the treasury were Bai Junjun and Li Wenli, but the Black Dragon Army was unaware.
Everyone looked at the empty treasury, gasping for breath, and assud it was Yuwen Jun’s doing.
"I didn’t expect Yuwen Jun would pull the rug from under us!"
"Where will he put the treasures?"
"No matter where, we might never find them in this lifeti."
"I’ve heard that summoning Underworld Soldiers requires a large amount of gold and silver treasures... maybe he really sacrificed the wealth from the treasury."
Everyone had their own opinions, but a definitive answer was destined not to be found.
Yuwen Qi didn’t lose heart; after all, he was already prepared to end up with nothing.
After drawing a blank in the Imperial Palace, the Black Dragon Army began to target the mansions of wealthy households that had perished in the disaster.
Fortunately, since the cholera outbreak, people had been hiding at ho, avoiding any outbreak of looting, robbery, and arson that might have happened during the warti escape three years ago. Indeed, leaving the house was a gamble with one’s life, let alone other concerns.
Even if soone found money outside, they might not survive long enough to spend it.
So, after those wealthy households had died, only Underworld Soldiers road the mansions, with no living souls.
Even Zhao Xiaomiao’s henchn dared not easily seize the opportunity.
Then, the Black Dragon Army ca in to control the situation, and the survivors were busy celebrating their narrow escape, completely ignoring the ownerless gold and silver treasures.
Because of this, the Black Dragon Army seized the opportunity.
They found quite a bit of gold and jewels in the hos of the wealthy, especially at the Dongsheng Tavern.
After all, they’ve amassed a lot of wealth during this period.
These riches beca the capital for Yuwen Qi’s nation-building, and they were all packed and transported back by the Black Dragon Army.
Just as Yuwen Qi was inventorying resources, Bai Junjun and the others also arrived in Ying County.
The journey from the Imperial Capital to Ying County took ten days, and occasionally Underworld Soldiers road along the way.
However, as they approached Ying County, the Underworld Soldiers gradually decreased.
They even saw rotting and decaying corpses of Underworld Soldiers.
Seeing this, Bai Junjun raised an eyebrow.
Just as they wondered if there were any people in Ying County, suddenly a sound of breaking wind ca through the air.
Li Wenli gently waved her sleeve, sweeping away all the incoming Arrow Rain.
This move alerted the team behind her, and they began to look warily ahead.
"Is there anyone guarding ahead? The Black Dragon Army is here to visit!"
"Black Dragon Army?"
Sure enough, whispers ca from within the walls of Ying County.
They certainly knew of the confrontation between the Black Dragon Army and Yuwen Qi’s Underworld Soldiers, and later Yuwen Qi’s Underworld Soldiers suddenly went out of control, with the Imperial Capital spiraling into chaos first.
Many people from the vicinity of the Imperial Capital fled to Ying County.
The County Magistrate of Ying County decisively sealed the entire county.
After that, they had to face Underworld Soldiers crawling over the walls every day.
To fend off these Underworld Soldiers, people truly struggled, thinking such days would be endless, unexpectedly welcoming living souls outside the city gates one day.
Shortly thereafter, Li Wenli saw a thin old man poke his head out from the city wall.
Although the old man was frail, his eyes were still bright.
He glanced at the people outside the city, and they all seed quite normal, clean, and devoid of white hair.
Each one appeared robust and upright like green pine trees.
Even the leading man and woman seed familiar.
The old man squinted for a while and finally recognized them.
Weren’t they friends of the Second Prince who once resided temporarily at the Prince Ying Residence in Ying County?
They were indeed allies!
