Wei Liulang was completely speechless.

Wei Ting came back to his senses after a while: "Where did this gold come from?"

He was absolutely certain that the most recent payment he made to his household was five thousand taels of silver, not all this gold.

If you exchange silver notes for gold, it is not impossible, but let’s not talk about whether the quantity can be exchanged in such a large amount. At least there will be official seals on the ingots and gold bars.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them sincerely and said, "Do you believe me if I tell you I found it?"

They both: “…”

"Really? I found it in the White Lotus. The White Lotus has a treasury, but it seems to have been emptied by someone. I only picked up this little bit."

The two of them thought that this big table can also be called a small thing?

But compared with an entire vault, it is indeed a small amount.

Wei Liulang didn't know Su Xiaoxiao, but Wei Ting looked at Su Xiaoxiao suspiciously: "Why don't I believe it?"

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, "Yes, if you don't believe me, go ask the second prince. He was the one who told me there was a treasury there, and told me that I could take as much as I wanted, and that he wouldn't tell his father, and that Jing Yi and I could take him out later. Who would have thought that the guy lied to me, the treasury was gone a long time ago, and there was only this little left! If you don't believe me, go ask Jing Yi, he was the one who leaked the news to me!"

Jing Yi would never betray her!

Wei Ting narrowed his eyes: "Did someone else move it?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yeah!"

Wei Ting's eyes were intriguing: "I left some for you?"

"Yeah!" Su Xiaoxiao nodded, then paused halfway through, "Maybe I can't get it!"

"You've already taken 10,000 taels, and you can't take this little bit?"

"What do you mean by ten thousand taels? At least one hundred thousand taels..."

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she realized that she had fallen into Wei Ting's trap.

She blinked: "Oops, the medicine seems to have gone mushy."

After saying this, he went out with the wind in his feet.

The man had already disappeared, but he was leaning against the door again, and a head popped in: "The gold is for Sixth Brother, you are not allowed to touch it!"

Wei Ting's face darkened: My family status has been ranked behind my sixth brother? Wei Liulang was still confused: "What on earth is going on?"

Wei Ting said calmly: "Ah, that's what she said."

Wei Liulang frowned suspiciously: "Is the White Lotus Sect's treasury really gone?"

Wei Ting said: "Most likely."

That girl wouldn't joke about something like that.

Wei Liulang didn't understand Su Xiaoxiao. He understood it from the perspective of ordinary people and had another guess: "Could it be that the White Lotus Sect moved the treasury themselves?"

Wei Ting said with a smile: "No."

He was very sure that it was the little fat peacock who did it.

As for how she did it, he had no idea. That girl always seemed to have some unexplainable secrets.

He would not deny the existence of such a bizarre thing just because he did not understand or could not figure it out.

Maybe one day, he will finally be able to unveil her mystery and see all her secrets.

Wei Liulang suddenly said, "Go get some water for a bath."

Wei Ting was confused. How did he get into the topic of bath water? Wei Liulang pretended not to look at the gold on the table and said righteously, "To be a live-in son-in-law, you must act like a live-in son-in-law."

Wei Ting: “…” -A new guest came to Taolin.

He was blindfolded and taken into the east wing of a courtyard.

Mo Guiyuan has been waiting for a long time.

After his black hood was taken off, he was dizzy for a long time before he adjusted to the light in front of him.

Mo Guiyuan smiled politely and said, "Master Wu, how are you?"

He cupped his hands and bowed respectfully: "Master."

"Master Wu, please take a seat."

"You're welcome. You're welcome."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they got down to business.

Master Wu took out a list: "Three thousand top soldiers, eight thousand middle soldiers, all of them are more elite than the imperial court."

The imperial court recruited soldiers every year, and Mr. Wu happened to have connections. He bribed some officials and recruited the best recruits from them.

"Only new recruits?" Mo Guiyuan was obviously not satisfied.

Mr. Wu laughed and said, "Look at what you said. If I only had this many people, I wouldn't dare to come and embarrass myself in front of you, right?"

As he spoke, he took out another slightly yellowed list, "All of them are veterans of the court, some retired, some still serving, but the price... has to be doubled."

Mo Guiyuan said nonchalantly: "Money is not a problem, but the soldiers must be strong and the horses must be strong enough!"

Master Wu patted his chest and said, "Master, please rest assured! The soldiers and horses selected by me, Wu Lao San, are all first-class! In addition, there are several veterans who have led troops. I have listed them for you. Those who have made military achievements and killed people from Northern Yan have different prices."

Mo Guiyuan said calmly: "I said, the price doesn't matter."

Mr. Wu smiled and said, "The leader is a straightforward person! I, Wu, love dealing with straightforward people! I will also tell you the truth today. As long as the price is high enough, the military commander I can buy...at most, he has made first-class military achievements!"

Having made first-class military achievements, he is almost on the same level as General Leng.

There are many military generals in the imperial court, but not many of them can really make a name for themselves. Strength and luck are both essential. In addition, you must have a background, be scheming, and be able to handle things. Otherwise, no matter how many enemies you kill or how many merits you make, you may not be able to reach the pinnacle of power.

The imperial court is a place of controversy. How many generals like Qin Canglan can dominate the world with their strength alone? Many frustrated people are just waiting for someone to appreciate them and show their ambitions.

Mo Guiyuan was basically satisfied with the troops provided by Mr. Wu. He asked someone to call the great elder over to negotiate the price with him.

After the deal was done, the Great Elder ordered someone to go to the cellar and fetch two boxes of gold bars, one box was for Mr. Wu's commission, and the other was for the soldiers' salaries.

Mr. Wu was looking forward to it with great joy.

Mo Guiyuan was also very much looking forward to it.

The White Lotus Sect has been developing for such a long time and has countless followers. These people are their popular support. However, if they want to accomplish anything, popular support alone is not enough, they also need to have an army at the gates of the city.

That day is almost here.

The chair in the Golden Palace will soon belong to Mo Guiyuan.

"Great, great elder!"

The disciple who was sent to get the gold bars rushed in, tumbling and crawling.

Everyone in the room looked at him strangely.

The great elder reprimanded: "How can you be disrespectful in front of the leader!"

The disciple's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground like a boneless fish, his face pale.

Zhang Feng helped the man up and asked, "Tell me what happened?"

The disciple cried tremblingly, "The gold...the gold is gone!"

Zhang Feng asked, "Were you robbed on the road? Was it someone who broke into the woods?"

Mo Guiyuan looked calm. It was just two boxes of gold. If it was gone, it was gone.

The disciple cried, "No...it's the treasury...the gold in the treasury is gone!"

Mo Guiyuan's face froze.

Mo Guiyuan went to the secret passage where the gold was hidden in person.

When he saw the cellar had been completely emptied and not even a penny was left for him, he was completely stunned!

Everyone, go to bed early.
