"Your Majesty, I have investigated and confirmed that such a place does exist. Furthermore, the area of gold and stone is estimated to be extremely vast. It's no exaggeration to call it a mountain of gold. The only strange thing is that King Tufan hasn't taken any action, seemingly showing no interest in the mountain of gold."
"Perhaps he doesn't know where the Golden Mountain is?"
The guard who reported lowered his head, so he had no way of knowing any of this.
The emperor was very excited: "Golden Mountain..."
After pondering for a moment, he gave the order, "Investigate thoroughly. If anyone approaches the Golden Mountain, kill them. King Tufan must not be informed of the existence of a Golden Mountain in Tufan."
"I need to gather some troops so that we can attack!" His eyes were firm, and it was obvious that he was determined to get Tufan's gold mountain.
Jing Yuchen has returned to the court during this period and has been paying attention to whether the emperor can send out people to come back. After they come back, how the emperor orders them to dig, ask for a part, or attack.
Jing Yuchen was summoned before the emperor. The emperor looked at Jing Yuchen standing below and asked, "Why is there a gold mountain in Tufan, but no one is digging for it?"
"Is there a trick?" Jing Yuchen did not mention Yi Wenxuan. He just wanted to make the gold mountain sound more dangerous, so that the emperor would not really get excited and start a war to dig the gold mountain.
All the people know that Cang Lie and Xian Chang have formed an alliance. They must be very happy if there is no war. If a war is fought with Tu Fan, the people will be the ones who suffer!
The emperor heard news he didn't want to hear. He asked suspiciously, "But I know that King Tufan doesn't know the location of the Golden Mountain."
Jing Yuchen was somewhat helpless: "Father, the Golden Mountain is in Tufan, and the King of Tufan also has a map. Even if two pieces are missing, he shouldn't be unable to figure out the map of his own kingdom, right?"
"He may have known about it, but he's just waiting for others to take the bait."
Jing Yuchen tried to dissuade him, obviously not wanting the emperor to go mining, because the land belonged to Tufan, and if ordinary people like them went there, there would be no choice but to fight!
The emperor looked at Jing Yuchen with scrutiny. Jing Yuchen didn't know what he thought or whether the emperor trusted him or not. It was just that the emperor's gaze was too sharp and burning, so Jing Yuchen lowered his eyes.
The emperor did not ask any more questions, but just smiled and said: "Okay, I understand, you can leave first!"
Jing Yuchen frowned tightly: "Father, do you want to go dig it?"
"I will make my own decision on this!"
The meaning of this statement is obviously to say, don't ask any more questions.
Jing Yuchen knew that the emperor had not yet given up that idea, and he sighed deeply...
Afterwards, the emperor summoned Shao Lecheng and asked him what he thought of the golden mountain in Tufan.
Shao Lecheng and Jing Yuchen naturally share the same aspirations, so what he said to Jing Yuchen was probably similar.
The emperor's gaze grew serious as he looked at him. "If I say that since each of us three has a copy of the map, does that mean the original discoverer of the gold mountain definitely intends to divide it among the three of us?"
Shao Lecheng heard Jing Yuchen say that the blueprint was given to him by a master...
Shao Lecheng's brows knitted tightly together as he spoke, "Father, what if the original person who discovered the Golden Mountain wanted to use it to deliberately provoke a war between Tufan, Xianchang, and Canglie? Wouldn't that mean you've been tricked?"
The emperor no longer wanted to listen to Shao Lecheng's words, because in the end, his ideas were no different from Jing Yuchen's, and he didn't even think about giving him any advice!
The emperor waved his hand and said, "You may leave now!"
Shao Lecheng wanted to persuade him, but he thought, what does it have to do with him if something happens to the emperor?
In the end, he turned and left without saying anything.
As soon as Shao Lecheng left, the emperor's expression immediately became gloomy and he snorted.
Shao Lecheng went to the Prince's Mansion to find Jing Yuchen and told him that the emperor had summoned him.
Jing Yuchen naturally knew about this matter. He said calmly, "You and I should have expected this a long time ago, right?"
Shao Lecheng lowered his head in shame: "Then I... gave the map to my father. Does that count as me being selfish?"
Jing Yuchen patted his shoulder comfortingly: "But it doesn't necessarily mean that a war will really start!"
Shao Lecheng sighed: "I hope so!"
Upon learning that Shao Lecheng had arrived, Ni Yueshan slowly walked over and said, "Prince, would you like to stay at the Prince's Mansion for dinner?"
"No, I'd better go home, otherwise Gou Qiong won't see me..."
"Then when you go back, tell Gou Qiong when you're free to have a meal with Sister Yu."
Shao Lecheng nodded: "Okay!"
After that, he turned and walked out. Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen and said, "Look at your frown, you can pinch a mosquito to death!"
Jing Yuchen frowned and said, "How can it be so exaggerated?"
"Really? Your wrinkles are getting deeper and deeper!" Ni Yueshan stepped forward and slowly smoothed his brows. Jing Yuchen raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand and pulled Ni Yueshan into his arms. He lowered his eyes to look at her, with only endless tenderness in his eyes.
"Yueshan, have you ever thought that if a war really breaks out one day, we can take the opportunity to slip away, change our names, and live a carefree life?"
"We're about to go to war. How can we live a carefree life? Isn't there war everywhere?"
"...Is that a metaphor?"
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan seriously, and there was no trace of joking in his eyes. Ni Yueshan thought about it seriously, then replied with a smile: "Whether there is war or not, whether it is a place with poverty or disability, I am naturally willing to go with you!"
