Chapter 10: Chapter 10

"My husband is a great hero with great power in his hands. He has countless soldiers and horses at his command. Puppy Emperor, you are just a powerless waste, my husband's puppet. Hurry and kowtow to me and admit your mistakes. If you touch a single hair on my head, my husband will kill you a thousand times over." with a sword on her neck, the shrew still maintained her arrogance, threatening Zhao Hao unscrupulously.

"Your husband is no better than scum who just traded the kingdom's territory and humiliated it, you dare claim that he is a hero?" Zhao Hao cursed, too lazy to talk with her. He slapped her across the face with his sword: "Believe it or not, I will kill you now with a thousand cuts!!"

When Zhao Hao hit her with the sword, her fear grew and she screamed begging for mercy, : "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'll take you, I'll take you….." Her attitude changed drastically shocking Zhao Hao so much that his sword almost fell to the ground.

"..."

"lead the way."

"I...I will take you there."

...

Under the lead of the woman, Zhao Hao began to head deeper into the Grand Marshal's mansion. The large group of guards dared not follow behind them. The guards ran fifty feet away...

It wasn't that they were timid, nor that they did not want to save her, but they would die miserably if they were to rush up. Not one of them wanted to sacrifice their life in vain.

Soon after, Zhao Hao was led into a side hall, pushed open the door into the basement, passed through a long narrow passage, connected with seven iron doors and eight hidden doors, and finally came to a secret room.

"The seal is inside." The woman was holding on to the wall at this moment, pretending to be so old that she couldn't walk further.

Zhao Hao glanced around and was secretly awed by the secrecy of the location of the room. If he hadn't been led by Li Tianba's wife, he wouldn't have been able to find it so easily. Even if he knew the location, it would have been difficult for him to break through the numerous mechanisms.

Letting go of the woman, he slashed the big lock on the iron door with his sword, kicked the door open, and entered the secret room.

"Who is coming? Who is coming?"

"I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat."

As soon as he entered the secret room, he heard a strange sound, and the sound of wings flapping, arousing a violent wind.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Huang Diewu reacted extremely quickly and flashed in front of Zhao Hao.

"I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat." A gray eagle bigger than a human, with a long iron chain on its left foot, rushed towards Huang Diewu while shouting.

"Flat-haired beast, scram." Huang Diewu waved her sleeves and a burst of colorful light burst out immediately knocking the huge eagle. The eagle was sent flying and hit the stone wall in the distance.

With a 'bang', the entire underground chamber was shaken, and the chain tying the eagle rustled.

In the face of this blow, the eagle had not been killed but after experiencing the pain, it didn't dare to pounce again. It stood in a dark corner, its pair of eyes gleaming green menacingly.

Zhao Hao was also secretly shocked. This eagle was much stronger than the Li mansion guard. He guessed its strength to be equivalent to that of a warlord. Fortunately, Huang Diewu was there, otherwise he might have just died.

The talking eagle, a monster beast, was Li Tianba's pet, and it also acted as a guard to the secret room.

Zhao Hao sneered, no wonder Li Tianba's wife pretended to be weak, she knew that as soon as she entered the secret room they would be attacked by an eagle.

He however ignored the eagle, walked into the secret room and his eyes swept around.

"Your majesty, there's a lot of gold and silver here!" Huang Diewu exclaimed.

The secret room was spacious, close to the walls, a series of huge wooden boxes were neatly arranged. The boxes were full of either jewels, gold, or silver.

Zhao Hao took a breath of air, there were more treasures here than there would be in a mine.

After a heartbeat, Zhao Hao scolded again: "These treasures must have all belonged to my family previously, either looted from the emperor's tomb or the royal treasury."

Thinking of himself eating cold rice and bad food in the palace every day, Zhao Hao began to seethe with rage and a cruel light flashed in his eyes. With a wave of his long sword, he swiped at the shrew's neck.

[Hint, you got 10 experience points.]

[Ding, you beheaded an important person and have been rewarded with a treasure]

Zhao Hao was surprised. He was also happy. Li Tianba and his wife counted as the bosses behind his current predicament. It wasn't too much to ask for loot to drop when he dealt with them. After checking the treasure that was awarded, Zhao Hao's mouth twitched again, and he almost fell to the floor.

[Treasure: low-level magic weapon- Iron pot]

A wok! Zhao Hao was seriously speechless, "Could this perhaps be what Li Tianba and his wife used for cooking egg-fried rice? What is this thing used for? Even as a tool for hitting people, it seems unreliable."

He wanted to throw it away, but when he saw that it was still a magic weapon, he collected it into the system warehouse.

Looking at the piles of gold and silver treasures, Zhao Hao's eyes began to shine.

"How can I put foreign objects into the system warehouse?" He pondered.

As if to answer his question, a system prompt appeared.

[Touch what you want to collect with your hands, then use your mind to will it into the system warehouse]

"It's so simple!" Zhao Hao walked to a big box full of gold, pressed it with his hand, squinted his eyes, and tried to draw it into the system with his mind.

Suddenly, the big box full of gold disappeared from the room in an instant. It had been stored in Zhao Hao's system warehouse.

Zhao Hao began to press those boxes continuously and they went into the system warehouse bit by bit.

The system warehouse was a magical space. From the moment Zhao Hao got the system, it existed in his sea of thought. It seemed mysterious and illusory, but to him, it did exist.
