After a long while, Zheng Guang watched Ye Hao still stowing away the gold bars and couldn't help but ask, "Young master, did you eat the gold bars? Can you poop them out?"

Flying Fish also nodded, "Boss, if they can't be pooped out, it'd be a shame. Let me help you collect a few bars?"

"So extravagant, actually eating gold bars..." Tao Feng felt as if his worldview had been completely overturned.

When Xue Zhaolong and the others heard this, they all burst into laughter, then explained to them why Ye Hao was able to store the gold.

Ye Hao didn't stop them from explaining. After all, these brothers would eventually find out, so letting them know beforehand was no big deal as long as they didn't spread the word.

After hearing what Xue Zhaolong said, they all looked at Ye Hao in shock.

Zheng Guang was even more excited and restless, thinking to himself that this young master had such a big secret. It seems he made the right choice! Following such a young master is absolutely the wisest decision.

"Boss, is what Long and the others said true?" Flying Fish asked in shock.

"Yes!" Ye Hao nodded with a smile, his hands still swiftly collecting those gold bars.

Seeing Ye Hao nod, Xue Zhaolong and the others smiled proudly, thinking that they were the first to know about this secret of their boss, which reflected their position in Ye Hao's heart.

Lu Yunsong warned Flying Fish and the others, "Flying Fish, Feng, you guys have to keep it a secret! After all, the boss's current power isn't strong. If someone with ill intentions targets him, it'll be troublesome."

Tao Feng and Flying Fish nodded solemnly. They knew how attractive it would be for someone to possess a mobile space of over 7,000 cubic meters. If they leaked it out, it would undoubtedly attract more attention to Ye Hao.

By then, Ye Hao would be inconvenienced no matter what he did and constantly in danger.

Ye Hao quickly stored the gold. Once it was inside the space, he didn't bother to arrange it, just leaving it scattered haphazardly.

It took Ye Hao roughly an hour to store all those gold bars. He shook his hands, feeling the weight of those bars, carrying them made his hands sore.

"Boss! Finished packing, should we head in now?" Xue Zhaolong asked.

"Hehe, should we collect a few bars of silver?" Lu Yunsong slyly glanced at the pile of silver with a smile.

"No need for the silver." Ye Hao replied with a smile.

"Boss, there's an indentation where the gold was placed. Should we fill in the soil beneath to level it out?" Xue Zhaolong asked, worried someone might discover they had been there first.

"No need, this is exactly the effect I want." Ye Hao replied with a smile.

"Why, boss?" Lu Yunsong asked.

"Think about it! If we level this place, how would others know that something heavy was placed here? If they don't know something heavy was here, how would they take seriously those who are excavating the tomb?" Ye Hao explained with a smile.

"Damn! Boss, you're devious! You want to use this pit to mislead others into thinking the first batch of valuable items was taken by the tomb excavators. They'll surely get geologists to measure how heavy something is to leave such a deep mark. Once the geologists calculate, they'll figure out it's gold. If others know there was so much gold, they'll definitely try to pry out how much gold was moved from the excavators, making them the center of attention." Xue Zhaolong quickly grasped Ye Hao's intention.

"Haha, indeed, only Long understands me!" Ye Hao laughed heartily.

Flying Fish and the others couldn't help but smile, thinking that while the boss might be a bit cunning, his intelligence was truly undeniable.

He had already considered what would happen later before anything even occurred.

"Amazing, boss." Lu Yunsong remarked, patting his forehead, thinking whoever opposed Ye Hao would have a hard time.

"Haha." Ye Hao laughed aloud and then led the group towards the underground palace.

The gold and silver bars were visible as soon as they entered through the Qian Gate. They hadn't yet reached the resting place of Zhu Yuanzhang's coffin, so they continued walking inward.

Although they were in an underground palace, it wasn't dark below, as the surrounding walls emitted a faint yellow light, soft and pleasing to the eyes.

The further they went, the colder it became.

Ye Hao instructed them to keep their flashlights ready and shine them inside.

As the light shone down the passage, the walls were adorned with carvings of dragons and phoenixes, looking very beautiful.

However, none of them lingered to admire the scenery, heading straight to the end of the passage.

Xue Zhaolong and the others walked boldly without taking any defensive measures, as nothing seemed amiss.

Ye Hao followed behind them, letting the eighth-generation system closely monitor Xue Zhaolong and the others to prevent any crises.

Whether it was by the grace of heaven or sheer luck, they made it through the underground palace passage safely.

Upon entering the final chamber, they were taken aback.

Inside the chamber lay an enormous coffin at least twelve feet wide. Such coffins were common in the past but rare in modern times.

In modern society, even burial is not allowed, let alone coffins.

"Is this... Could this be Zhu Yuanzhang's coffin?" Lu Yunsong asked in astonishment, staring at the massive coffin before him.

"I believe so. It's adorned with dragons. During the Ming Dynasty, who else but Zhu Yuanzhang dared to use dragons as a symbol?" Xue Zhaolong replied.

Ye Hao approached the coffin, examining it closely.

The coffin measured fifteen feet in length and twelve feet in width.

In modern measurements, that's 4.5 meters long and 3.6 meters wide, indicating there might be a smaller coffin inside, possibly containing Zhu Yuanzhang's remains.

Ye Hao circled the coffin, observing that it was covered in dragon carvings without other symbols.

He speculated that this might be Zhu Yuanzhang's real coffin. The one at the South Gate was just a decoy.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang sealed this tomb tightly, likely to prevent anyone from disturbing his eternal rest.

Zheng Guang knelt before the coffin, kowtowed, and said, "A descendant of the Zheng Family is unfilial, coming today to disturb Your Majesty's rest. I beg for your forgiveness."

After speaking, Zheng Guang knocked his head on the ground a few more times sincerely.

Ye Hao stepped forward to support Zheng Guang, "Elder Zheng, what's past is past, look forward to the future!"

"I know, young master, I won't dwell on the past." Zheng Guang nodded.

"Hehe, then let's not disturb Ming Taizu's rest; it's time to leave." Seeing nothing more, Ye Hao decided not to open Zhu Yuanzhang's coffin.

But just as Ye Hao finished speaking, Xue Zhaolong, Zhuorong Town, and Lu Yunsong seemed to hear someone calling them... (To be continued.
