Eastern: I love doing good things-Chapter 206 - 207 : You really have made things hard for me

Seeing that Jiang Tao was so eager for progress, the other generals immediately reacted, all kneeling in front of Fang Yuan and saying, "We pay our respects to His Majesty!"

Each of them had received Fang Yuan's favor in the past. Now that Fang Yuan had killed the incompetent emperor and eliminated the enemies, he should be the ruler of the Yan Kingdom.

The phrase "Your Majesty" was uttered with heartfelt loyalty.

Faced with such a situation, Fang Yuan let out a soft sigh, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly, "Ah, you've really put me in a difficult position..."

Jiang Tao immediately responded, "Your Majesty, the nation is exhausted in both manpower and resources, and enemy nations are watching us from all sides. This is a crucial moment, a matter of life and death for the country."

"As the saying goes, a country cannot go without a ruler for even a day. If Your Majesty does not ascend the throne, the world may fall into chaos again, and the people will suffer hardship. We hope Your Majesty will prioritize the safety of the nation and not let down the hopes of the people."

Although Jiang Tao had never been in such a situation, he was well-read in history and knew that before ascending the throne, one had to "refuse three times and decline three times." He quickly cooperated with Fang Yuan, making sure to go through the formalities.

No matter what, the formalities had to be observed on the surface.

However, Fang Yuan had no interest in these tedious rituals and decisively nodded, "Alright, from now on, I am the new ruler of the Yan Kingdom."

It was time to make this country operate according to his will. Fang Yuan, who had traveled to this world, had started as a foolish poor man, but later killed a county official, entered the Jianghai Palace, and became its ruler.

Since then, he had slain demons and monsters, moving forward all the way until now, when he killed the greatest "evil" in the Yan Kingdom—the emperor.

Along the way, Fang Yuan had witnessed too much oppression of the lower class by the upper class and had had enough of the cumbersome feudal etiquette.

Now, everything would change because of him. He would rule this country. Although it would not be perfect, Fang Yuan would do everything he could to make the world as fair and just as possible.

"Ah..." Seeing how quickly Fang Yuan agreed, Jiang Tao was momentarily stunned, and the words he had prepared were swallowed back down.

Fang Yuan continued to give orders, "Go bring Ji Tianqi to me."

"Understood." Jiang Tao and the others quickly took their leave.

At this time, the Southern Town Guard Ji Tianqi was still waiting anxiously at the gate of the imperial city.

Finally, someone descended from the sky. General Liu Yuanfei landed in front of Ji Tianqi and said, "Your Majesty wishes to see you."

Your Majesty? The title was so unfamiliar... Ji Tianqi was stunned and could not help but ask, "May I ask, which Your Majesty?"

"Fang Yuan Your Majesty."

"..."

Ji Tianqi was quickly brought before Fang Yuan. The first thing he did was kneel, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

It must be said that Ji Tianqi was extremely nervous at this moment. His identity as a former imperial prince could bring him instant death.

"Town Guard, you must be familiar with this imperial city. Tell me, where does the former Emperor Yanwen store his important items?" Fang Yuan asked.

Although the imperial city appeared vast and had been mostly destroyed, Fang Yuan still hoped to find something useful in this ruined area.

The "Book of Goodness" contained over a million points of goodwill, just waiting for the right method to be utilized.

"This..." Ji Tianqi tried to recall, "I remember, Emperor Yanwen stored his precious items in the [Treasury]."

"Very well, take me to the [Treasury]."

"Understood..." Ji Tianqi quickly rose.

"Your Majesty, we shall take our leave now," Zhong Chunhua wisely spoke up. The Treasury had been the former Emperor's forbidden area, and now it was Fang Yuan's possession. The generals had no right to examine it.

Fang Yuan lightly nodded, "Alright, please continue to keep an eye on the borders. If there are any invaders, notify me immediately."

"Of course, this is our duty," the generals answered in unison.

The generals departed, and Fang Yuan followed Ji Tianqi to a broken wall in the imperial city.

Before them were piles of golden ingots, gleaming with a golden light. Surrounding them were shattered and torn antique paintings and calligraphy, scattered messily.

"This is the place," Ji Tianqi said. "The [Treasury] was built by the founding ancestor of the Yan Kingdom, Emperor Yan Taizu. Every subsequent emperor has made modifications to it, storing many treasures here."

"Although, it seems that most of it..."

Fang Yuan didn't speak. The gold in front of him looked like it weighed over a thousand tons, illuminating the entire space with a dazzling glow.

Had it been his previous life, seeing this much gold would have made Fang Yuan ecstatic. But now, he had no such worldly desires.

Rather than let these gold ingots gather dust, it would be better to use them to rebuild the Yan Kingdom.

"Is this all?" Fang Yuan asked Ji Tianqi.

"There's more," Ji Tianqi immediately responded. "The [Treasury] has an underground level. The upper floor is for wealth, while the lower floor stores secret books."

"The entrance to the underground is well-hidden. I need to find it..."

"There's no need to waste time," Fang Yuan said, raising his hand.

Crack! Crack!

Countless cracks appeared across the entire floor of the Treasury, followed by rubble flying into the air, revealing a massive underground space.

Emperor Yan Taizu must have been a dragon or a rat, always digging holes. But it was fortunate for him, as this second level of the Treasury remained intact after the battle.

Fang Yuan leaped into the underground space. Compared to the lavish upper floor, the basement appeared much more modest. Shelves filled with books were lined up, each containing profound cultivation methods.

If these books were placed outside, they would undoubtedly attract countless Yan Kingdom martial artists to fight over them. But here, they were simply gathering dust.

This reminded Fang Yuan of a saying: "Seize all the weapons in the world, concentrate them in the capital, destroy the weapons and arrows, and cast them into twelve bronze men to weaken the resistance of the people."

Fang Yuan bypassed these shelves and continued deeper into the Treasury. Soon, ten metal cabinets appeared before him.

Each cabinet contained a classic book, with corresponding items of heaven and earth placed beside them. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Upon seeing this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but smile. These cabinets contained nothing less than Daoist techniques!

Haha, now he could truly prosper.
