"this....."
Minister Wei was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.
Fortunately, the emperor did not pry into the matter at this important time; he simply shook his head and said...
"Fine, you've done a good job by getting me out of here!"
"Take me inside quickly!"
"Okay!"
Minister Wei, seeing that the emperor had bypassed him, did not break off all pretense of civility. He led the emperor into the national treasury, where the gold and silver treasures scattered everywhere shone brightly, reflecting the light from the lamps on the side, making the cave appear golden!
Leaving aside the gold and silver treasures, the edging alone around this cave is a priceless treasure!
Upon seeing so much gold and silver treasure, the emperor's heart finally calmed down!
"Phew, I never imagined my reserves were so abundant!"
However, the emperor then asked...
"Is there any good hiding place here?"
He was still worried that someone would come and steal his gold, and it would be even better if there was a deeper hiding place!
Minister Wei nodded instinctively after hearing this.
"have!"
However, he immediately regretted saying those words!
The emperor quickly changed his gaze and looked at Minister Wei with a different expression!
"Alright! It seems you know my treasure trove better than I do!"
The emperor said angrily. Minister Wei's face turned slightly red. He realized that he had been exposed and simply tore off his mask!
"Heh, you think this is your national treasury?"
"What's the meaning?"
"This is not your treasure trove, but my private storage room!"
The emperor was astonished!
"How dare you! When did my treasury become yours?!"
Minister Wei responded with a smile.
"Look at the surrounding scenery, does it resemble your treasure trove?"
The emperor carefully observed his surroundings.
"So, the air here seems a bit cramped!"
"That's right!"
"This location is behind your treasure vault!"
"It's a hidden treasure vault that I created myself, and the only other way to enter besides from your vault is the one we just saw!"
"You wouldn't believe it, would you? All the treasures you looted have already been moved by me!"
Minister Wei approached the emperor with a wicked grin!
The emperor trembled slightly!
"What, what are you going to do!?"
"I possess spiritual skills!!"
The emperor was fierce and aggressive, but he was not afraid of Wei's ministers at all!
There was a rule in the imperial court that civil officials were not allowed to be proficient in cultivation! This was a law that the emperor had established to protect himself!
He was afraid that the civil officials would rebel and kill him when he offered his advice!
He had cultivated for a period of time when he was young!
It was precisely because of his extraordinary cultivation that he was able to overpower all the other contenders for the throne and successfully ascend to the top!
However, he became addicted to wine and women afterward, and his cultivation gradually deteriorated!
But he still has some skills! Compared to a minister without any cultivation, he can still easily crush him!
But.....
Why did the emperor feel a sense of fear when he looked at Minister Wei?
"You, you mustn't move!"
The emperor rebuked him, but Minister Wei ignored him and instead unleashed his full spiritual power.
The emperor was thrown back by the shockwave of the spiritual energy, rolling several times on the ground before finally stopping!
He looked surprised!
"You, how could you?"
Minister Wei wore a mocking smile.
"What? Do you think I'm a cultivation failure?"
"Actually, this place is not only where Yong'anli stores its treasures, but also my training ground."
"Although my spiritual roots are not refined, I know that cultivation is ultimately a means of survival, so I secretly come here to cultivate every day!"
"Impossible! It's impossible that no one noticed your cultivation level!"
"That's right, many people have indeed noticed the spiritual power within me!"
"But do you think they'd dare tell you that?!"
"I am your most trusted minister, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I have some cultivation!"
"That's exactly what I told them! Who would ruin their future for something they're not sure about!"
"Under your rule, although there have been no riots, your reserves for living off your past achievements are dwindling!"
"Of course, from now on, you have no tomorrow."
"Hiss~"
Wu Suanzi, who was hiding behind the stone wall, heard the entire conversation between the two!
He was merely sent by Ye Buxiu to count the amount of treasure!
After all, since Ye Buxiu had the idea of taking the treasure and running away, it was only right for him to find out the amount of treasure first!
However, not long after Ye Buxiu released Wu Suanzi through the wormhole, he accidentally triggered a mechanism and discovered Minister Wei's treasure vault!
Before he could even get excited, Minister Wei and the Emperor arrived!
In order to avoid being discovered, Wu Suanzi had no choice but to hide behind the stone wall!
However, he never expected that he would overhear such a shocking thing!
"Hmph, I knew long ago that Minister Wei was no good. It turns out he doesn't just use the emperor's name to attack people; this guy even wants to attack the emperor himself!!"
Wu Suanzi hesitated, wondering whether he should go up or not!
He saw that the other side looked like they were about to start a fight!
Given the emperor's frail physique, he probably wouldn't last long before collapsing!
Wu Suanzi silently made up his mind.
"Alright, let's make some noise first!"
Just as Minister Wei raised his hand to kill the emperor, Wu Suanzi suddenly threw a stone, which hit the rock behind Minister Wei.
