Chu Feifan's cold voice sounded and spread to every corner of the hall. A look of fear appeared on the faces of everyone below.
The atmosphere in the entire hall became deathly silent, and even the breathing and heartbeats of everyone could be clearly heard.
The sweat on Li Qing's forehead continued to fall to the ground along with his cheeks. He stared at Chu Feifan with distracted eyes, his expression flustered.
"Whoosh!"
Meng Ye suddenly rose up, with a hint of awe on his cheeks, staring at the angry Chu Feifan.
"Your Majesty, I seized the residence of the guilty minister Nalanfeng last night and found a treasure house in the mansion. The gold, silver and jewels have been cleared out. There are 500,000 taels of gold, 5 million taels of silver notes, and 1.5 million taels of silver.
, jade agate, jade calligraphy and painting, ten boxes, all have been sealed and placed in the minister's house."
Hear the sound.
Chu Feifan suddenly stood up, the look of anger on his cheeks became even more intense, a terrifying murderous aura lingered around his body, and he stared at Meng Ye with sharp eyes.
"You are a thief from the Nalan Feng Kingdom. The Nalan Mansion alone hides such a terrifying huge sum of money. It seems that the only people who are really poor and pitiful for me, Zichu, are the widows and the common people!"
"Li Lin, Minister of the Ministry of War, you can quickly calculate how much money and food I can allocate, and also calculate how much salary is needed for all the soldiers of the three legions in a year. You will submit it later. I will see it today.
!”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do it now!"
Li Lin looked at Li Qing, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, with a calm expression, and gave him a look, indicating that he would leave with him.
Chu Feifan saw everything with his eyes, strode to Li Qing's side, sneered and said: "Li Aiqing, you and Li Lin go together!"
Watching the two people leaving, Chu Feifan's sharp gaze rested on Xiao Heng, Minister of War, and suddenly turned around and came to his side.
"Xiao Aiqing, the Ministry of War has always been under your control. Now tell me, how many armaments, war horses, and siege equipment does Zi Chu have?"
Xiao Heng felt the terrifying killing intent emanating from Chu Feifan's figure. The figure was trembling with fear, and a trace of panic appeared on his cheeks. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Chu Feifan in front of him.
"Your Majesty, when the late Emperor was in power, the forging of armaments and the raising of war horses were always managed by Liu Qing, the Duke of Qing. The ministers had no right to interfere, so I really don't know very well!"
"Qingguo Gong Liu Qing?"
"Master Xiao, what do you mean, you have been the Minister of the Ministry of War for so many years and you have made no contribution?" Chu Feifan's face was ashen, his eyes flashed with displeasure, and he said in a cold voice.
"Your Majesty, I, I have always been in charge of the replacement of soldiers, the recruitment of troops, and the execution of military orders. The other former emperors have been handed over to the rebel Liu Qing."
Hear the words.
An icy cold light flashed in Chu Feifan's eyes, with a serious expression and a sharp voice: "Does Xiao Aiqing know where Liu Qing's weapons are forged and where the war horses are raised?"
"Your Majesty, the weapons forging place is in the suburbs outside the Imperial City. After the rebel Liu Qing was killed by the Emperor, I have sent people to control all the weapons workshops, but I haven't had time to make statistics yet."
"The place where war horses are raised is at the foot of Wuheng Mountain. It is said that the rebel Liu Qing raised tens of thousands of war horses there, but no one knows how many there are specifically. I originally sent people to Wuheng Mountain, but the guard of the horse farm was blocked.
The general rushed back and said that no one can go near the racecourse without the emperor's order!"
"Um!"
"Is there such a thing? It seems that I have to go to Wuheng Mountain myself!"
"Xiao Aiqing, since you have been responsible for Zi Chu's recruitment, I hope that Xiao Aiqing will continue to recruit troops for me. However, you must recruit 10,000 troops within ten days, otherwise you will be punished for dereliction of duty!"
Chu Feifan had an evil smile on his lips, stared at Xiao Heng with cold eyes, and said in a bone-chilling voice.
"Your Majesty, we are recruiting 10,000 troops in ten days. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to complete the task!" Xiao Heng's face was ashen, a look of embarrassment appeared in his eyes, and his voice trembled.
"Xiao Aiqing, you have to have confidence in yourself. No matter what method you use, just complete the task. If you feel that you are not qualified, then remove your armor and return to work. Many people must be interested in the position of Minister of War."
Xiao Heng nodded helplessly, saluted Chu Feifan and excused himself, then turned around and walked quickly outside Anshen Temple with a look of displeasure on his cheeks.
at this time.
Meng Ye was the only one left in Nuo Da's An Temple. Chu Feifan glanced at him with a calm expression and strode to his seat.
"Uncle, how is the investigation of Nalan Yue going?"
"Back to the Emperor, the secret passage in Nalan Feng's Mansion leads to the outside of the Imperial City. I sent people to follow it all the way, but no trace of Nalan Yue was found. He must have fled to Qingmu City by now."
"However, I have already arrived at Nalan Mansion with another tiger talisman and half a map. I don't know what they are, so I keep them with me and ask the emperor to take a look."
Meng Ye's calm voice sounded, he reached into his arms and took out a brocade box, strode forward and handed it into Xiao Guizi's hands.
Xiao Guizi opened the brocade box, took out the tiger talisman and half a map and put it into Chu Feifan's hands. He put the tiger talisman aside and stared attentively at the half map in his hand that exuded a simple and vicissitudes of life.
"This is a drawing of an underground palace, but what is its use? Nalanfeng can put it together with the tiger talisman. It must be very precious."
Chu Feifan turned over the half map in his hand several times, but couldn't find any clues. At this time, Nangong Xi's figure suddenly came to his side, and his jade hand took half of the map from his hand, with watery eyes.
A flash of excitement suddenly emerged in his mind.
"Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, this should be the drawing of the underground palace where the war king Chi Tai hid treasures that has been rumored for thousands of years."
"War King Chi Tai?"
"War King Chi Tai was the second king to rule the entire War Continent. According to legend, he had four armies: the Demon Dragon Army, the Sky Tiger Army, the War Sky Army, and the War King Army. Thousands of years ago, the War Continent was divided into four.
, the Longtian Empire is the most powerful among the four empires. Emperor Longtian has always wanted to rule the entire War Continent. However, he is bloodthirsty and cruel. After the three empires were captured by him, basically no humans and animals were left wherever he went, and blood was
It flows like a river, and mountains of corpses and seas of blood are everywhere."
"After Emperor Longtian unified the War Continent, he intensified his efforts and enslaved the people crazily to build him a Longtian Pavilion that could be as high as the sky. At that time, the people's livelihood was miserable and the people were living in dire straits. There were uprisings everywhere. King Chi of War
Tai Hengkong was born, and in just ten years, he shattered the rule of Emperor Longtian and became the ruler of the new generation of War Continent."
"Before the death of War King Chi Tai, he ordered people to build an underground palace for himself. He placed all the treasures and wealth in the underground palace. It was not until the death of War King Chi Tai that rumors spread about the treasures hidden in the underground palace.
come out."
"But thousands of years have passed, and history has continued to change, but no one has found the underground palace where the war king Chitai hid his treasure."
Chu Feifan looked puzzled, with a hint of incredulity flashing in his eyes, and his whole person fell into endless contemplation.
"Xi'er, is this half of the map really the treasure map of the underground palace of War King Chitai? Times have changed, what happened thousands of years ago really exists? And is this map real?"
Chu Feifan spoke out the questions in his heart in a calm voice, and looked at Nangong Xi solemnly, with a hint of curiosity on his cheeks.
