Chapter 747: Chapter 577 The Wealth of Wuliang Royal Court_2
"Pancakes!"
Yang Zhenshan looked at the meal he was brought and his appetite surged.
Just ordinary pancakes, but Yang Zhenshan felt his mouth water.
Damn, aside from the first few days when they could eat the pancakes they carried with them, the rest of the time they could only have horse meat or dried meat, at most boiling some meat soup.
"Hehe, there’s a lot of food in the city, I just checked, there’s a whole granary full of wheat!"
"But the other granaries are empty, probably taken away by Wu Tuo!"
Yang Minghao set up the simple meal, a few large and roughly made pancakes, along with a big bowl of vegetable soup.
However, Yang Zhenshan enjoyed it greatly.
"Where’s Dashan?"
"He was on duty last night, just went to sleep."
"Um, let Chengxu keep watch later, let’s clean up the city first!" Yang Zhenshan said while munching on the pancake.
Yang Minghao said, "I’ve already had the brothers move the corpses and search the city for supplies!"
"Are there a lot of gold and silver treasures in the city? Should we take them?"
"How much?" asked Yang Zhenshan, curious.
Yang Minghao replied, "Not sure yet. The treasury in the palace has been found, there’s a lot of gold and silver, and each estate in the city has a substantial amount of silver stored."
Yang Zhenshan thought for a while, "We certainly can’t take everything, at most a small part!"
This is the King City of the Wuliang Royal Court, and the wealth here should be half the fortune of the Wuliang Royal Court.
Dare not say more, but there should be gold and silver worth tens of millions of taels, and besides gold and silver, there should be many other valuable items.
The Wuliang Royal Court lacks Spirit Fruits but definitely has a lot of Treasure Medicine.
Besides the Treasure Medicine, some rare ores, Cultivation Techniques, secret manuals, Elixir Recipes, and so on, are also very valuable.
In the future, the Yang family needs to develop independently on Star Moon Island, these things are their foundation, and whatever can be taken should be taken.
Officially, they can’t take too much, but in secret, Yang Zhenshan collects all these items into the Spiritual Spring Space.
Yang Zhenshan pondered for a moment and said, "You lead some people to search and transport all the valuable items to the palace first,"
"Yes!" Yang Minghao responded.
After breakfast, Yang Zhenshan first went to the palace, where all the bodies had been removed, but many bloodstains remained on the ground.
Of course, the soldiers dealt with the bodies quite brutally, not bothering to bury them, just finding vacant houses to dump the bodies into.
Wu Tuo’s palace was still very large, and Wu Tuo had many concubines, it’s a pity none of the soldiers pitied or cherished beauty, and those concubines had all become wandering spirits.
As for Wu Tuo’s children, sorry, but aside from the soldiers from Chongshan Town, there might no longer be any other survivors in the city.
Yang Zhenshan had long issued a massacre order.
"Have you found the palace’s Treasure Hall?"
Yang Zhenshan asked the thousand commander in charge of searching the palace.
This Bazong before him looked to be in his thirties, with handsome features, and a slender figure, lacking a fierce air, but rather carried an air of a scholar.
But he was no scholar, his name was Yang Qinhua, a descendant of the Yang family’s generation named ’Qin.’
Yang Qinhua was also one of the earlier followers of Yang Zhenshan’s descendants from the Yang family. When Yang Zhenshan was still in the Tenglong Guard, he had followed Yang Zhenshan.
Later when Yang Zhenshan became the General of Chongshan Town, he also joined the Camp.
"Found it, follow me, Marquis!" Yang Qinhua led Yang Zhenshan to one of the palace’s halls.
However, the Treasure Hall was not this hall, but the basement below it.
Following the staircase down, a vast underground space appeared before Yang Zhenshan.
"These are Treasure Medicines, over there are some ores, and there are some weapons over there..."
Yang Qinhua briefly introduced.
Yang Zhenshan looked at the items in the Treasure Hall and nodded slightly.
One by one, the treasures passed before his eyes, but only a few sparked his interest.
"These are Elixirs!" Yang Qinhua then pointed to a shelf, saying.
The shelf held several porcelain bottles, all properly labeled.
Must say, there were quite a few elixirs.
Yang Zhenshan casually opened a porcelain bottle and took a sniff, all were well-preserved elixirs.
"What is your current cultivation level?"
"Uh, I just broke through to the Postnatal Seventh Layer recently!" Yang Qinhua said.
Yang Zhenshan smiled, then opened the porcelain bottle containing the Three Flowers Blood Qi Pill and poured nine pills into a small porcelain bottle.
"The Three Flowers Blood Qi Pill is made mainly from the Hundred-Colored Flower, the Thousand Core Flower, and the Six-Petal Peony. Although it cannot enhance the strength of Jin Qi, it can replenish the blood and Qi of martial artists at the Postnatal Seventh and Eighth Layer, allowing them to condense Jin Qi more rapidly!"
"This is most suitable for you now. Take it, you can only use one pill per month, and after using all nine pills, do not consume this type of elixir again. It’s best not to consume any elixirs for a year!"
He tossed the small porcelain bottle to Yang Qinhua.
Yang Qinhua was startled, then joyfully said: "Thank you for the reward, Great Uncle!"
Yang Zhenshan waved his hand, continuing to inspect the elixirs on the shelves, while advising: "Your spear technique is a bit off. Although everyone’s understanding of the spear technique can differ, the foundation of our Yang Family Spear Technique is to be fast, accurate, and fierce. Your spear is fierce, but not fast enough."
"I remember there is a cultivation technique called ’Quick Spear Thirteen Forms,’ where did I see it?"
"When you’re back in Chongshan Town, you should ask Ming Hao about it!"
Yang Qinhua was even more delighted, "Thank you, Great Uncle, for the advice!"
Yang Zhenshan looked at other items and said, "Go find some boxes, pack all these things and take them all when we leave!"
"Yes!" Yang Qinhua responded and went out to find boxes and people.
Meanwhile, Yang Zhenshan took the opportunity to store some of the items here in the Spiritual Spring Space.
He didn’t take much, but all were good items.
The remaining items were also good, but most were things that the Yang family did not lack, such as elixirs, which he didn’t bother with because he could produce them himself.
Shortly after, Yang Qinhua came back with several soldiers.
They packed all the items here into boxes.
Of course, they wouldn’t notice anything missing because they also didn’t know exactly how many items were there.
On this day, the soldiers were continuously collecting valuable items within the city.
Countless valuable items were moved into the royal palace, including gold and silver jewelry, precious medicinal materials, jade stones, valuable furs, and more.
For a whole day, thousands of soldiers were moving valuables.
All these treasures were haphazardly placed in the square of the Central Extreme Hall of the palace, turning the entire square into a treasure mountain.
"What a pity we can’t take them away!"
Song Dashan, who had just woken up, came over and seeing all the good items, couldn’t help but feel regret.
Yang Zhenshan smiled, "How many war horses are there in the city?"
"Not many, only a thousand or so!" Song Dashan replied.
The Wuliang Hu Clan did not lack war horses, but it seems that the war horses in Yemi City were probably taken by Wu Tuo to the battlefield, and most of the city’s war horses were those used by various nobles of the Wuliang Royal Court.
"Go and get ready, we’ll rest for another two days and then leave!" Yang Zhenshan instructed.
"Oh, are we not waiting for Wu Tuo to come back?" Song Dashan asked.
Yang Zhenshan shook his head, "No waiting, if he comes back, we might not be able to leave!"
Before, he had killed Wu Tuo, but now he doesn’t want to kill Wu Tuo anymore.
When Wu Tuo comes back and sees Yemi City turned into ruins, Yang Zhenshan felt that it would be more painful for him than death.
Don’t forget, Wu Tuo’s wives and children were all slaughtered.
Hehe~~
A cold light flashed in Yang Zhenshan’s eyes.
This gift, he believed, Wu Tuo would remember for a lifetime.
Apart from this reason, it was also because Yang Zhenshan did not want his soldiers to suffer too many casualties.
Although yesterday’s battle was very smooth, almost effortlessly capturing Yemi City, the casualties amongst the soldiers were not insignificant.
Just the fallen soldiers numbered over two thousand, with six to seven hundred severely injured and even more slightly injured, totaling over five thousand.
The reason for such heavy casualties was firstly, because the soldiers were exhausted when they stormed into the city, reducing their combat effectiveness, and secondly, because this was still the King City of the Wuliang Hu Clan. Although Wu Tuo took most of the elite soldiers and strong generals with him, there were still many martial arts masters in the city.
If they had stayed and waited for Wu Tuo, perhaps Yang Zhenshan could have killed Wu Tuo, but his nearly twenty thousand soldiers would probably be almost annihilated.
Don’t forget, Wu Tuo still commands a force of one hundred and twenty thousand elite Northern barbarian cavalry.
Yang Zhenshan could not risk the annihilation of his entire army to stay and kill Wu Tuo.
