The inner voice was overheard, and the whole court was eating melons together

[Guagua, did Sikong Jing transfer the national treasury because he realized that the situation was hopeless? ]

[Yes, host.]

At the moment the country was destroyed, Sikong Jing instructed the secret guards to take the treasure map to find Zhongli Xue and her son, asking them to live well and teach Sikong Ce well until he grows up.

After the secret guards left, Sikong Jing committed suicide in the palace.

After Sikong Jing died, all his concubines and children were executed.

Before, Sikong Jing protected Zhongli Xue and Sikong Ce so well that no one else knew about the existence of the mother and son except a secret guard and his personal eunuch.

Sikong Jing was afraid that his personal eunuch would say something wrong, so he killed him before committing suicide.

The secret guard, the one who took the treasure map to find Zhong Lixue and her son, survived and escorted Zhong Lixue and her son out of the capital.

In a remote village, they survived under an assumed name. At that time, Sikong Ce was only 4 years old.

To outsiders, the three of them called themselves a family of three and said they had fled to the small village to escape the war.

At that time, when the old dynasty was changing and the new dynasty was changing, there were many families who moved away to avoid the war, and the villagers did not doubt their identities.

The secret guard named himself Xuanyuan Che, Sikong Ce changed his name to Xuanyuan Ce, and Zhongli Xue changed his name to Li Xue. The family of three was usually very friendly and had a good relationship with the villagers.

After Zhongli Xue learned that Sikong Jing committed suicide, she fell ill, but she still held on for Sikong Jing's last words.

When Sikong Ce was 10 years old, Zhongli Xue died of illness due to worry.

Sikong Ce's martial arts skills are very high, all taught by Xuanyuan Che. 】

[Guagua, Xuanyuan Che is a very loyal secret guard.]

[Yes, host, he is quite loyal.]

Xuanyuan Che had always wanted to avenge Sikong Jing, so he sent Sikong Ce to join the army when he was 12 years old.

Relying on his superb martial arts, Sikong Ce gradually emerged in the army.

At that time, the mighty general Shi Ming took a liking to Sikong Ce, accepted him as his disciple, kept him by his side, and taught him tactics and strategies with all his heart.

With Shi Ming's help, Sikong Ce quickly gained a foothold in the army.

Sikong Ce's purpose of coming to the army was to seize military power.

However, the military power is firmly in Shi Ming's hands. Unless Shi Ming dies, this military power will have the possibility of falling into the hands of others.

So, in a battle, Shi Ming was seriously injured. Sikong Ce, regardless of the relationship between master and disciple, took the opportunity to shoot an arrow in the back, and Shi Ming died on the spot.

Sikong Ce was afraid that others would suspect him, so he stabbed himself in the chest. The knife was very close to his heart and almost took his life. Seeing that he was so badly injured, no one suspected him.

Although there were heavy casualties in that battle, the Tianfeng Dynasty finally won.

As soon as Shi Ming died, Sikong Ce became the most popular figure in the military camp. Moreover, he was Shi Ming's apprentice. Everyone said that he was brave and fearless in that battle, and he deserved to succeed the position of the Great General!

Sikong Ce was also a ruthless man. In order to achieve his goal, he almost killed himself.

In this way, Sikong Ce got his wish and sat on the position of the Great General of Divine Martial Arts. 】

[Guagua, people like Sikong Ce are really scary.

He killed his own master and was so cruel to himself in order to achieve his own goal!

It gives me the creeps just thinking about it!

By the way, didn't Shi Ming realize Si Kong Ce's evil ambitions at all? 】

[No, Sikong Ce usually disguises himself very well. He is always humble and polite to everyone he meets, and no one noticed anything unusual.

Just look at the ministers in the court, and even the emperor sitting above, aren't they also deceived by his appearance? 】

[That’s true.]

Guagua, besides the treasure map, does Sikong Ce have any other assets? 】

【some.

Xuanyuan Che, the secret guard, faked his death a few years ago and disappeared from everyone's sight.

In fact, he was secretly helping Sikong Ce manage his businesses, including restaurants and brothels...

By the way, Sikong Ce discovered a gold mine on the border, but he did not report it to the court at all and started mining it privately.

With the smelted gold, 5 private soldiers have been stockpiled, and Xuanyuan Che is also in charge of training the private soldiers. 】

[What? He has a gold mine?]

The imperial court was so poor that it could barely make ends meet, but unexpectedly, Sikong Ce had a gold mine.

It’s really like drought and drought, and waterlogging and waterlogging!

If only this gold could fill the treasury, the emperor wouldn't be so worried. 】

……

While discussing the flood problem in the south of the Yangtze River, the ministers pricked up their ears and listened carefully to Song Yaoyao's thoughts.

When Song Yaoyao talked about filling the national treasury with gold, both the emperor and the ministers agreed with her very much!

When Sikong Ce heard this, he stared at Song Yaoyao with resentment.

This damn Song Yaoyao revealed everything about him. Sikong Ce knew that he was finished, and he wished he could cut Song Yaoyao into pieces.

Song Yaoyao only felt a chill all over her body, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake. The feeling was so terrifying!

[Guagua, why do I feel a chill all over my body, as if I were stared at by a poisonous snake.]

Guagua comforted:

[Host, did you kick off the quilt when you slept last night? Now you have a cold? ]

[No, I am sure I am in good health and not sick.]

[Host, since you are not sick, it is just your illusion. ]

[Maybe!]

Guagua, do you know all of Sikong Ce's industries? And where is the gold mine?

Oh, and there's also the treasure map. Do you know where it's hidden? 】

【Know……】

Guagua was about to speak when he was interrupted by Song Yaoyao:

[Guagua, please stop talking. I can’t remember so many industries and their specific locations.

After the court session, I will find paper and pen, and you can tell me.

After I write it down, I will find a way to hand it over to my father. Judging from my father's loyalty to the emperor, he will definitely hand it over. 】

【All right. 】

Originally, the emperor was worried that Xin Sheng would expose the addresses of those industries, treasure maps, and gold mines in public, but he did not expect that Song Yaoyao would make such an arrangement.

This is good. He can send a secret guard to go with her. As long as Song Yaoyao records it and hands the thing over to Minister Song, the secret guard can deliver it to the palace immediately.

Today, Song Yaoyao went to court with her head down the whole time. She was recording what the emperor and ministers were discussing in the court, while also chatting with Gua Gua. She was very busy.

Song Yaoyao didn't notice the changes in the court at all, nor did she notice Sikong Ce's look that seemed to want to eat her!

Song Yaoyao continued to ask:

[Guagua, Xuanyuan Che is a dangerous person. Do you know where he is now? ]
