Shi Bin was supported by Liuli and came back. He looked a little depressed.

"What's going on here?"

"The vault was full of snakes. I lit poison incense and thought I had gotten rid of all the snakes. But when I finished investigating and was walking out, a snake as thick as my waist suddenly woke up."

"The big snake blew poison gas at General Shi, and that's what happened to him."

"But it's not a big problem. General Shi has already taken the detoxification pills. He will be fine after two days of rest."

Liuli found Shi Bin's listless appearance very funny. No one would have thought that Shi Bin, who was so strong, would almost be knocked down by the not-so-strong poison gas.

Liuli also inhaled a lot of poisonous gas at that time, but she was not hurt at all.

"Your Highness, you didn't see it. We were about to leave, and I was lying at the door to see if there were any patrols outside. As a result, when I turned around, a huge snake opened its bloody mouth and spit out its tongue at me. I didn't faint on the spot, which shows how brave I am."

Xiao Mo felt relieved when he heard that Shi Bin was fine.

He walked up to him with a smile, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't you usually say that you are not afraid of snakes? Why are you so scared now?"

"I'm not afraid of snakes. The thickest snakes on the mountain are only slightly thicker than a rolling pin. The big snake in the vault is thicker than my waist. It can swallow me alive with its mouth open. How can I not be afraid?"

Speaking of the big snake, Shi Bin still felt frightened. Fortunately, Liuli was by his side, and before the big snake could attack him, he was dragged out of the vault by Liuli.

Liuli helped Shi Bin sit down, and Ye Jintang came out from the inner room when he heard the noise.

"My lady, there are no other traps in the vault, but there are snakes everywhere. If you don't know, you would think the vault is a snake den."

"And all the snakes inside are venomous. There are more than a dozen species, some thick, some thin, some green, some red."

"Two of them are as thick as a human waist. The poison incense I made needs to be improved. Otherwise, the two snake kings will wake up in a quarter of an hour at most after being poisoned."

It was almost impossible for Ye Jintang to empty the vault of all the gold, silver and jewelry in such a short time.

Just hearing Liuli say this, Ye Jintang felt his scalp tingling.

She is not afraid of anything else except snakes. As long as she sees a slippery snake, no matter whether it is poisonous or not, even if it is a dead snake, she will feel uncomfortable all over.

"Imperial Noble Consort Dehui is too crazy. Why did she get a bunch of snakes to help her guard the vault? Then how did she send people to deliver things to the vault on weekdays? Aren't they afraid of being bitten by snakes?"

"I guess these snakes of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui must have been specially raised, and the people who went in and out of the vault must be the snake breeders."

Liuli comes into contact with a lot of poisonous creatures on a daily basis and has some understanding of snakes.

Even poisonous snakes are somewhat spiritual and will not attack their keepers.

For a moment, Ye Jintang felt a little headache. She was asked, a person who was afraid of snakes, to enter the snake cave alone. Even if all the snakes were poisoned and fainted, just looking at them would make her heart beat faster.

Xiao Mo also knew that Ye Jintang was afraid of snakes. When he heard that the vault was full of poisonous snakes, he naturally didn't want to let her take the risk.

"Jintang, why don't we think of other ways."

"There is no better way than for me to go to the vault. Liuli, bring a small green snake that you raised. From now on, I have to get used to the existence of snakes and overcome my fear of snakes."

"Yes, I'll get it right away."

"Jintang, why do you have to make things difficult for yourself? We can just take a long-term view."

Xiao Mo would rather not have the silver in Consort Dehui's treasury than have Ye Jintang take risks. What if something happens to her?

"Your Highness, you and I both know that it is almost impossible to find someone to steal the vault. The guards in the palace are not vegetarians."

"Let's not argue about this anymore."

Xiao Mo wanted to persuade Ye Jintang again, but when he saw her determined eyes, he swallowed the words back.

"Can't you let me go with you?"

"No, the only way is for me to go in alone."

"Then I'll help you fight your fear of snakes."

"This is acceptable."

In fact, not to mention that the vault is full of poisonous snakes, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire inside, Ye Jintang will go in and try his luck.

The gold and silver stored in the vault of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui could not be just a few hundred thousand taels, it must be at least one million taels.

After all, the treasury of the Marquis of Danyang’s Mansion can produce several million taels of silver, not to mention the Imperial Noble Consort Dehui who holds the imperial power.

Whenever she thought about her vault rushing towards tens of millions of taels of silver, she couldn't help but get excited.

You should know that the annual tax silver of a state in Tianqin Kingdom is only one million taels, and this is still a relatively wealthy state.

If one is a little poorer, the tax would probably be only a few hundred thousand taels of silver.

She has tens of millions of taels of silver in her hands, and she can have fun as she pleases in the future.

After becoming rich overnight, you can live freely for the rest of your life without having to worry about money. Just thinking about it, Ye Jintang couldn't help but want to scream to the sky.

In her previous life, she worked hard for nearly 10 years to make herself live a more comfortable life.

If she could break into a snake cave in this life and live the rest of her life without worries, why wouldn't she go? Besides, she is not a delicate girl. After drinking the spring water, her physical fitness has improved a lot compared to before.

The battle can be over in less than five minutes after entering the snake cave.

For the sake of her future, she had to endure these five minutes.

Soon Liuli brought a small green snake in a bamboo cage.

The little green snake is only as thick as a little finger, and its whole body is emerald green like a bamboo.

In Liuli's opinion, the little green snake was quite cute. Its pair of black eyes looked around curiously, and it would occasionally spit out its tongue at the people around it, to express that it was also very scared at the moment.

But in Ye Jintang's eyes, the little green snake was so terrifying that all the hairs on her body stood up.

If it were any other time, she would have screamed in fear, but now she gritted her teeth, reached out and picked up the bamboo cage, and placed it on the small table beside her.

"Liuli, tell me in detail what happened in the vault."

Ye Jintang pretended to be calm, sat beside a small table and tried not to pay attention to the little green snake beside him.

"Yes."

"As soon as you enter the vault, there is a 12-meter-long stone path with eternal lights on both sides of the path. After crossing the stone path, you will reach the vault. There are a total of small vaults inside. The small vaults have no doors, and all the gold and silver inside are sealed in boxes."

"Eleven of the twelve small vaults are already full, and the twelfth is also almost full. I opened the boxes inside and took a look. The boxes with gold edges are all filled with gold bars, and the boxes with silver edges are all filled with silver ingots."

"Aren't the two boxes separated?"

"No, all the boxes are piled together in no particular order."

"How big is the treasury?"

"I can't tell. The boxes in the vault seem to be specially made. After they are filled up, you can't tell how deep each small vault is."

Ye Jintang frowned, thinking that this time stealing from Imperial Noble Consort Dehui's vault was a bit of a gambling activity.

If she wins the bet, she will make a fortune.

If she loses the bet, all her efforts will be in vain.
