The two of them looked at the table that was filled with gold and were momentarily blinded.

Wei Liulang was dumbfounded.

Wei Ting came back to his senses after a while. “Where… did this gold come from?

He was extremely sure that the money he had recently given 5,000 taels of silver, not this gold.

It was not impossible to obtain the gold with banknotes, but not to mention whether the quant.i.ty could be exchanged for so much, there would at least be an official seal on the ingots and gold bars.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them sincerely. “Would you believe me if I said I picked it up?

The two of them were dumbfounded.

“It’s true. I picked it up from the White Lotus Society. The White Lotus Society has a vault, but it seems to have been emptied by someone. I only picked up this little.”

The two of them wanted to ask if this big table was also called a little.

However, compared to an entire vault, it was indeed a little.

Wei Liulang didn’t know Su Xiaoxiao well, but Wei Ting looked at her suspiciously. “Why don’t I believe you?”

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “That’s right. If you don’t believe me, go ask the Second Prince. He was the one who told me that there was a vault there. He even told me how much I could take. The trade was that if he doesn’t tell his father, Jing Yi and I will bring him out later. Unexpectedly, that guy lied to me.

The vault was long gone. There’s only this little left! If you don’t believe me, go ask Jing Yi. He spread the news for me!”

Jing Yi would not betray her! Wei Ting narrowed his eyes. “Someone else moved it?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes!”

Wei Ting’s gaze was intriguing. “And especially left some for you?”

“Yes!” Su Xiaoxiao nodded and paused halfway. “Maybe he couldn’t take all of

“He took all 10,000 taels. Can’t he take this?”

“What 10,000 taels? At least 100,000 taels…

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she realized that she had been tricked by Wei Ting.

She blinked. “Aiya, I think the medication is smudged.”

With that, she left.

She was already gone. She leaned against the door and stuck her head in. “The gold is for Sixth Brother. Don’t touch it!”

Wei Ting’s face darkened. Was his family status already behind that of his sixth brother?

Wei Liulang was still confused. “What’s going on?

Wei Ting said calmly, “Ah, just what she said.”

Wei Liulang frowned suspiciously. “Is the White Lotus Society’s treasury really gone?”

Wei Ting said, “Most likely.”

That girl would not joke about such a thing.

Wei Liulang didn’t know Su Xiaoxiao well. He understood from an ordinary person’s perspective and had another guess. “Could it be that the White Lotus Society moved the vault themselves?”

Wei Ting said in amus.e.m.e.nt, “No.”

He was very sure that it was the little fat peac.o.c.k.

As for how it was done, he was not sure. That girl always seemed to have an unexplainable secret.

He would not deny such a strange existence just because he did not understand it and could not figure it out.

Perhaps one day, he would be able to unveil her mystery and pry into all her secrets.

Wei Liulang suddenly said, “Go get bathwater.”

Wei Ting was at a loss. Why was it about bathing water?

Wei Liulang pretended not to look at the gold on the table and said righteously, “As a live-in son-in-law, you have to act like one.”

Wei Ting was speechless.

A new guest came to the peach forest.

He was covered and brought into the east room of a courtyard.

MO Guiyuan had been waiting for a long time.

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

MO Guiyuan smiled politely. “Old Master Wu, how have you been?”

The man called Old Master Wu was about 50 years old and had a white beard. He was much younger than MO Guiyuan, but he did not look as strong and energetic as MO Guiyuan.

He cupped his hands and bowed respectfully. “Sect Master.”

“Old Master Wu, please sit.’

“Thank you.”

The two of them chatted for a while before getting to the point.

Old Master Wu took out a list. “3,000 high-grade soldiers and 8,000 medium-grade soldiers. They are all elites better than those in the Imperial Court.”

The Imperial Court conscripted soldiers every year. Old Master Wu happened to have a way to bribe some officials and poach the best recruits from them.

“Only recruits?” MO Guiyuan was clearly not satisfied.

Old Master Wu smiled and said, “Look at what you’re saying. If I only had so many people, I wouldn’t dare to come to you to embarra.s.s myself, right?” As he spoke, he took out another slightly yellowed register. “They’re all veterans of the Imperial Court. Some are retired, and some are serving. As for the price… I have to double it.”

MO Guiyuan said casually, “Money is not a problem, but the soldiers must be strong. The horses must be strong enough!”

Old Master Wu patted his chest and said, “Sect Master, don’t worry! The troops I, Wu Laosan, chose are all top-notch! In addition, I’ve also listed a few old generals who have led troops for you. Those who have made military contributions and killed Northern Yan people have different prices.”

MO Guiyuan said calmly, “I’ve said it before. The price is fine.”

Old Master Wu smiled and said, “Sect Master is a straightforward person! I like to interact with straightforward people! I’ll give you a bottom line today. As long as you give me enough money, you can even buy generals who have established first-cla.s.s military merits!”

Having established first-cla.s.s military merits, he was almost on the same level as General Leng.

There were many generals in the Imperial Court, but there were not many who really stood out. Their strength and luck were indispensable. In addition, they had to have a background, be scheming, and know how to cause trouble. Otherwise, no matter how many enemies they killed and how many contributions they made, they might not be able to stand at the peak of power.

The royal court was a place of trouble. How many generals like Qin Canglan, who could dominate the world with his strength alone, could there be?

Many people were unsatisfied and were waiting for someone to appreciate them and show their ambitions.

MO Guiyuan was basically satisfied with the troops provided by Old Master Wu. He got someone to call the First Elder over to negotiate with him.

After the negotiation, the First Elder ordered someone to get two boxes of gold bars from the cellar. One was a commission for Old Master Wu, and the other was a salary for the soldiers.

Old Master Wu looked forward to it happily.

MO Guiyuan was also looking forward to it.

The White Lotus Society had developed for so long and had countless disciples. These people were their people’s support. However, if they wanted to succeed, only the people’s support was not enough. They still needed troops to arrive at the city.

That day was almost here.

The chair in the throne room was almost his.

“Gr,Gr,Gr…. Grand Elder!”

The disciple sent to get the gold bars scrambled in.

The roomful of people looked at him strangely.

The Great Elder reprimanded, “How can you be disrespectful in front of the

Sect Master! ”

The disciple’s legs went weak and he fell to the ground like a boneless fish, his face pale.

Zhang Feng helped him up and asked, “Tell me properly. What happened?”

The disciple cried in fear, “The gold… The gold is gone!”

Zhang Feng asked, “Were you robbed on the way? Was it someone who broke into the forest?”

MO Guiyuan’s expression was calm. It was just two boxes of gold. So be it.

The disciple cried, “No… it’s the vault… The gold in the vault is gone!”

MO Guiyuan’s expression froze.

MO Guiyuan personally went to the secret pa.s.sage where the gold was hidden.

When he saw that the cellar had been swept clean and there was not even a copper coin left for him, he was stunned!
