In fact, what others don’t fully know is that Yang Liu is one of the loyal princelings.

Most of the money he extorted was to be provided to the Prince's Eastern Palace in the capital, to provide financial support for the Prince's eventual ascension to the throne.

Now, he has nothing left. How can he explain to Queen Ding and Xiao Bing?

Seeing Yang Liu's distraught look, Qian Huaiyu said after being shocked, "The warehouses in the military camp and the horse farm outside the city were stolen in the same way as now."

"Especially at the military horse farm, the horse breeder just turned around, and the large number of war horses behind him suddenly disappeared."

"Some war horses disappeared one by one right before their eyes!"

Right before our eyes, they disappeared one by one?

Isn't this a ghost?

Zhu Shihao and Zhao Quan were just about to comfort Yang Liu and give him advice on how to deal with the current situation.

However, before they could open their mouths, their families came over and reported that their storehouses had been robbed and not even a single piece of wood was left.

Zhu Shihao and Zhao Quan were dumbfounded once again.

Qian Huaiyu took a deep breath and said, "Lord Yang, General Zhu, I'm afraid that the problem we are facing cannot be solved by sealing off the entire city and hunting down the thieves."

"Because it is very likely that the thief is not a human, but a demon or monster."

"We have to do two things at once. First, seal off the entire city and have all the people who can move go to search for the thief. Also, I know that there is a highly respected and powerful Master Kongjian in Kongjian Mountain, ten miles away from here. He is the best at exorcising demons and eliminating evil."

"We need to send someone to invite him over to join us in the search. This may be effective."

Yang Liu was now at a loss, so of course he agreed to everything Qian Huaiyu said.

Chuiyu City was suddenly in chaos.

Far away in the capital city, in the imperial palace Fengyi Palace, Crown Prince Xiao Bing and Queen Ding were also jumping in anxiety.

Because they also discovered that all the gold, silver and jewelry in the small storehouse of Fengyi Palace and the storehouse of the Eastern Palace had disappeared.

These silvers were the basis for them to secretly win over ministers and gain their support.

If they all suddenly disappear, it will inevitably disrupt their rhythm.

Xiao Bing couldn't help but say, "Mother, this matter must be reported to His Majesty immediately!"

"It's no small matter for something like this to happen within the palace."

Queen Ding agreed with Xiao Bing's words.

However, Ding Zhan said, "No, if people knew that all our money was gone, those ministers who originally supported us might waver and be bribed by other princes."

Many ministers support whom based on who is more powerful and who can offer greater benefits.

Of course, in fact, no matter what you do, it really won’t work without money.

These words made Queen Ding and Xiao Bing silent.

What Ding Zhan said is also right!

So, they can only suffer in silence?

Queen Ding said unwillingly, "So are we just going to let it go like this?"

Xiao Bing thought for a moment, "Mother, as for silver, we still have Yang Liu. Ask him to bring us one million taels of silver as soon as possible, which will solve our urgent need."

"As for the thief who emptied our warehouse, it was so strange that I had to wonder if it was done by a human."

Queen Ding nodded slightly, and said to Ding Zhan with some pride, "Brother, look, Bing'er's solution is well organized and very smart."

Ding Zhan was so confused by these words that he didn't know what to say for a moment!

Is now the time to praise your son?

Also, did he say anything about the solution?

When Xiao Bing was praised, he smiled instantly, as if even if the warehouse had been emptied, it wasn't that important.

"Therefore, I will use all my strength to find clues about the thief, and my mother will also find an opportunity to go out of the palace to ask the master if it is possible that a demon is behind this."

"Uncle, is my solution feasible?"

Ding Zhan thought about it and saw no other solution, so he nodded in agreement.

"Just do it!"

Ding Zhan did not, as he had done in the past, criticize, despise or deny his proposals. Instead, he did not say a word.

Such an uncle is a good uncle and can help him establish his prestige as the crown prince!

Xiao Bing was delighted to see that Ding Zhan agreed.

"Then I'll take care of it!"

He bowed to Queen Ding and left Fengyi Palace.

Looking at his back, Queen Ding said with relief, "Brother, look, Bing'er has really grown up and can stand on his own."

Xiao Bing complained in his heart that if he couldn't even do this, then he would really be a waste.

After dark, Tian Ruomo finally visited all the cities in Shanhai Province one by one. In addition to emptying all the warehouses of the defenders, she also got a proper understanding of the conditions of each city.

Tian Ruomo asked Xiaomei to go directly to Yunding City to meet the leader of the Qingshan Army Lin Zhenhai, deputy leader Qi Jun, leaders Zhou Xinfeng and Lin Shushan and others.

At this moment, they were in a state of extreme anxiety.

Because they received a very important piece of information that the imperial court had sent out 50,000 of its most elite Red Flag Army, led by the famous war prince Xiao Yan of the Jin Dynasty, to Shanhai Province to quell the rebellion.

Moreover, Xiao Yan also led 10,000 elite troops to launch a detour at night, hoping to catch the Qingshan Army off guard.

They achieved great success in a short period of time, but these successes did not make these leaders get carried away.

The four cities fell mainly because the people were in chaos. The local army of Shanhai Province led by Yang Liu did not counterattack with all their strength. Instead, they retreated on their own initiative, which is why they fell into the hands of Qingshan Army.

In fact, they and Yang Liu's local army had never experienced a major battle in which both sides confronted each other with all their strength!

In addition, although they had a total of 50,000 soldiers, they only had a few thousand war horses. Not all soldiers had weapons, and some of them even had only sharpened wooden sticks in their hands.

Now, the imperial court has sent out the most elite Red Flag Army, which is well-equipped, well-trained, and has experienced a large number of battles, and is led by the God of War Prince.

They are really under a lot of pressure.

Qi Jun gritted his teeth and said, "Now that we know that the War God wants to surprise us, we will gather our troops, set a trap, and fight him to the death."

"We can stop the enemy with our own army and block the flood with earth. There is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, we have fairies. Why should we be afraid of the God of War?"

When the word "fairy" was mentioned, Lin Zhenhai and others' brows instantly relaxed.

Lin Zhenhai slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, the fairy said that she went to the capital and asked the emperor to investigate Yang Liu strictly."

"With her here, we are not afraid even if the emperor still favors Yang Liu!"

The others echoed it, and smiles appeared on their faces again.

"That's right. Fairies are protecting us common people. Even if the Emperor of Jin leads hundreds of thousands of troops, we don't have to be afraid."

"The Great Jin War God led 10,000 elite soldiers and dared to launch a surprise attack. If the emperor protects Yang Liu, the fairy will help us destroy any invading enemy."

As soon as the last sentence was spoken, a white figure suddenly appeared out of thin air and stood in front of them.
