The emperor faked his death? Never mind, I will ascend the throne directly!

"Legend has it that the treasure hidden by the Yiwu people is hidden in the Valley of Death," explained the military advisor.

"Ayimu went there most likely to search for treasure and rebuild the Yiwu people."

"But for hundreds of years, no one who entered the Valley of Death has ever come out alive."

"In my opinion, this trip of Ayimu will definitely be dangerous!"

The King of Northern Frontier sat down on the throne and said:

"This king went to great lengths to kill the Yiwu people just to get the secret of this treasure."

"But we haven't seen a single trace of it yet, and the people we sent out to look for the treasure are nowhere to be found."

"This Death Valley is a forbidden area. Could it be that the treasure is just a legend and doesn't exist?"

"Military Advisor, do you have any good ideas?"

The King of Northern Frontier rubbed his temples irritably, his tone full of fatigue.

The military advisor remained calm and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, you can send people to ambush outside the Death Valley."

"If Aimu wants to enter the valley, he must pass through there."

"The outskirts of Death Valley? That place is uninhabited for a hundred miles. Not only are there people, but there aren't even any birds."

"Sending people to ambush us will only lead to death from thirst and starvation?"

The King of Northern Frontier snorted disdainfully.

"Besides, even if she went to the Valley of Death, she might not come out alive."

"Instead of wasting our forces waiting on the periphery, we should concentrate our efforts on finding Ayimu first."

"My lord, although Death Valley is dangerous, it is not a Jedi."

"The Yiwu people have lived here for generations and are familiar with the valley's terrain. Aimu is a princess of the Yiwu people."

"Of course I know some of the secrets." The military advisor explained slowly.

"Besides, although the outside of the valley is desolate, there are some oases and water sources, which are enough to support the soldiers' ambush for a short time."

"What you said makes sense..."

The King of Northern Frontier pondered for a moment and then denied his idea.

"No! I can't wait any longer! As long as Ayimu is not eliminated, I will not be able to sleep or eat in peace!"

"Pass the order down, send more people, and search the entire territory for Aimu! We must find him alive or dead!"

"Also, a reward has been posted: anyone who can provide clues about Aimu will be rewarded 100 taels of gold and silver!"

"Your Majesty, such a large-scale search might alert the enemy. What if Aimu notices something..."

The military advisor wanted to give more advice, but was rudely interrupted by the King of Northern Frontier.

"What the hell! Okay, I've made up my mind! No need to say anything more!"

The King of Northern Frontier shouted angrily, frightening the military advisor so much that he dared not say a word.

"Also, regarding the treasure..." The King of Northern Frontier softened his tone.

"Is there really a treasure in that Death Valley you mentioned?"

"I sent so many people out, and none of them came back. Could this be fake?"

"Or is the treasure story just a cover?"

"Your Majesty, the legend of the Yiwu tribe's treasure is old and not groundless."

The military advisor said affirmatively.

"It's just that the Death Valley has a complex terrain and is full of traps, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter the core area."

"I'm afraid the people we sent before all died in the traps in the valley."

"So, how do you think we can find the treasure?"

The King of Northern Frontier asked.

"Your Majesty, if you want to find the treasure, you must first find the sacred object of the Yiwu people - the 'Tears of the Sun'."

"Legend has it that this 'Tears of the Sun' is a gemstone containing immense power."

"Only it can open the secret passage to the treasure."

The military advisor explained.

"And this 'Tears of the Sun' is most likely on Aimu's body."

"So, as long as we capture Aimu, we can get the treasure?"

There was greed in the eyes of the King of Northern Frontier.

"That's true in theory, but..." The military advisor hesitated to speak.

"But what? If you have to fart, do it now! Stop dithering like a sissy!"

The King of Northern Frontier scratched his hair impatiently.

"But I'm worried that even if we capture Aimu, we may not be able to obtain the 'Tears of the Sun'."

"The Yiwu people value the sacred object very much and would rather die than hand it over."

The military advisor said worriedly:

"Also, it is said that the 'Tears of the Sun' possess mysterious powers."

"Only those with Yiwu blood can control it, otherwise they will suffer backlash."

"Backlash? Humph! I don't believe this nonsense!" The King of Northern Frontier snorted coldly.

"I am the king of this grassland and desert! As long as I can get the treasure, even if I have to pay a price, it doesn't matter!"

"My king, you must not underestimate the enemy..."

The military advisor wanted to persuade him, but the King of Northern Frontier had lost his patience and waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

"Okay, go down. Remember, find Ayimu as soon as possible!"

"We can take our time with the treasure!" The King of Northern Frontier waved his hand impatiently.

The military advisor sighed helplessly and bowed as he left the hall.

......

At the same time, Li Chengfeng was sitting in the imperial study, listening to He Sheng's report.

"Your Majesty, the King of Northern Frontier has already dispatched assassins and additional personnel to search the entire territory for Ayimu."

"They even issued a high reward!"

He Sheng reported respectfully.

"Oh? It seems that the King of Northern Frontier is really obsessed with Ayimu. He has invested a lot of money in hunting him down."

Li Chengfeng took a sip of tea and said lightly:

"I want to see what tricks this idiot King of Northern Frontier can come up with."

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing..." He Sheng hesitated for a moment and continued:

"According to spies' reports, the King of Northern Frontier seems very interested in the Yiwu people's treasure."

"Treasure?" Li Chengfeng put down the teacup and leaned forward.

"Interesting! It seems that the King of Northern Frontier's target is not just Ayimu."

He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery in the distance, and thought secretly in his heart:

The Yiwu tribe's treasure... that's a priceless treasure... I want it too...

"He Sheng, you must immediately arrange for someone to go to the Northern Frontier and find out the whereabouts of the treasure."

"Report any news immediately. Remember, the treasure must not fall into the hands of the King of Northern Frontier!"

"At the same time, find out Ayimu's whereabouts as soon as possible. I want him alive."

"Yes, I will obey your order!" He Sheng accepted the order and withdrew.

Li Chengfeng continued to lie on the dragon chair with his eyes closed to rest.

......

Following the instructions on the map, Aimu traveled for several days and arrived near the Death Valley. Before he even got close, he felt severe discomfort.

With a whoosh, a short arrow flew through the air and headed straight for Aimu's face. She instinctively dodged sideways.

"The running dog of the King of Northern Frontier!" Aimu cursed inwardly and ran away.

She thought that the pursuers sent by the King of Northern Frontier had caught up with her. After all, she had been being hunted for a long time, like a stray dog.

However, before she could run a few steps, she was surrounded by a group of men in black.

Aimu's heart sank, it seemed that he was in great danger this time.

She gripped the scimitar tightly, ready to fight to the death.

"Who are you?" Aimu asked sternly.

A burly man stepped out from among the men in black. He said in a low voice:

"We are the keepers of the mausoleum, guarding the treasures of the Yiwu people for generations."
