“Those steps…”
“Hurry!”
“Hurry! ”
“Awake! Kobe Sanzen!”
“They have found the military fortress!”
“Wake up!”
The bored sentry, naturally, tuned in to Luo Feng’s livestream.
Upon seeing those familiar steps…
Weren’t they the steps to the golden treasure trove that had been described to him in the past?
Their ancestors had never visited this place, but only knew of it through the accounts of those who had been.
Those who had been there were blindfolded, tasked only with the transport of the gold.
The actual location was unknown, only the sight of the steps during transportation was familiar.
“What’s going on? Why are you shouting?”
“Mr. Luo Feng and his team have found the military fortress!”
On the other side, Luo Feng, with a creak, opened the rusty old door before him.
The lamp above his head cast light into the room.
He took a look at his surroundings.
The structure was similar to the previous military fortress, with no significant difference.
“Damn, is this place a military fortress?”
“Why are there so many fortresses in the Changbai Mountains?
“There are many indeed, in the Northeast, the former Kwantung Army built these fortresses for the purpose of warfare!”
“Please look carefully, host, who knows, you might find some evidence of past
Japanese misdeeds!”
None of his viewers knew that, at this time, Luo Feng was just looking for the Tsar’s lost gold.
Instead, they were constantly telling Luo Feng to stay vigilant, in hopes of him finding some kind of evidence of the atrocities committed by the Japanese people of the past.
Of course, the viewers from the Sakura Nation, upon seeing Luo Feng discover another of their old fortresses, must have been crestfallen. But they could do nothing, it would change nothing.
This place belonged to Huaxia now.
The people of Huaxia were in charge.
Luo Feng stepped into the fortress and entered the first room, filled with marked treasures.
He pushed open the door.
There were rows and rows of long wooden boxes.
Calling them boxes was generous.
They were more akin to panels nailed together.
Luo Feng pried open a box with his Swallowtail Hoe to reveal an arsenal of weapons.
A total of forty boxes.
Entering the second room, he found the same boxes filled with firearms.
Four rooms later, the situation remained the same.
But the fifth room was different, it was filled with bullets.
The next three rooms were likewise.
Afterwards, there were two rooms full of canned food and other edibles.
With a creak, Luo Feng continued to the next room.
Inside were more wooden boxes, but they were not like the previous ones.
These wooden boxes were very large and sturdy, all of them sealed with a lid and nailed shut.
“Another box? Is it also full of firearms?”
“There are so many of them! We could sell these arms!”
“Seeing as there aren’t any corpses here, it’s kinda disappointing!”
Luo Feng stepped forward, carefully prying open the boxes with his Swallowtail Hoe.
The first layer was oilcloth.
When it was peeled back…
Everyone was astonished.
Instead of firearms, the boxes were filled with gold.
Luo Feng opened all the boxes in the room.
Fifty in total.
All full of gold.
He estimated the weight of each box to be around 500 taels. The gold in this room weighed approximately 12.5 tons.
“Damn!”
“What the hell is happening?” “I’m flabbergasted!”
“Is this gold? Why is there so much gold?”
“Is this fake? How can there be so much, I remember the Changbai Mountains don’t have gold mines, right?”
People were dumbstruck, unable to comprehend the situation Luo Feng was in.
Luo Feng, however, was not secretive anymore, chuckling, “Have you all heard of the lost gold of the Tsars?”
“If I’m not mistaken, this should be the gold they lost!”
With that, Luo Feng pulled out a gold coin from his pocket.
He held it in his palm and began, “Do you remember the object I found in that bird’s nest earlier? It was covered in bird droppings so you couldn’t make out what it was, but after cleaning it, it turned out like this.”
Luo Feng continued, “This is a gold coin from the Tsar era. I had a suspicion at the time but wasn’t entirely sure. However, after finding that gold bar, I was almost completely certain!”
“That gold bar must have been intentionally left behind by the Japanese soldiers transporting the gold up the mountain. Their goal was to dig it up and claim it for themselves when they returned.”
“But it was the encounter with those six individuals yesterday that really confirmed my suspicions about the presence of the Tsar’s gold in Changbai
Mountain!”
At this point…
Everyone was utterly bewildered.
What was going on?
“Luo Feng, what does the Tsar’s lost gold have to do with the Japanese?” Qin Rubing, who wasn’t very knowledgeable about this part of history, asked in confusion.
“Foolish, of course, the Tsar’s gold was swindled away by the Japanese!” Luo Feng replied with a laugh.
“Then what does this have to do with the six individuals?” Qin Rubing thought for a moment and then asked.
“Don’t worry, we’ll analyze this slowly down the line!” Luo Feng did not continue his explanation.
Instead, he went to the next room.
Again, he opened the boxes.
Fifty more boxes.
Another 12.5 tons of gold approximately.
After inspecting the room, Luo Feng continued, “Many of you may be aware of the Tsar’s lost gold, but the exact time it went missing was during World War I. At that time, the Tsar was being threatened by the German army.. Fearing an invasion and theft of their wealth, they ordered the national reserve of gold to be moved!”
