Several guards carrying knives went in with only one knife, but when they came out, almost every one of them had two bulging sacks, and everyone was carrying a heavy load.

After hearing Ming Gui's words, Wu Qingye also fell silent.

His silence at this moment revealed, to some extent, his inner thoughts.

Wu Qingye felt that Ming Gui was right. Although he greatly admired Jia Daoshi, this matter concerned the interests of the court and the royal family, so the accounts had to be settled.

If it's just a small amount of money, then it doesn't matter; I'll just give it away.

But now, the sacks are mostly filled with gold coins!

This is gold!

In this era, gold is far more valuable than silver!

With the various dynasties locked in continuous warfare, the national treasury was already depleted. The appearance of this batch of gold was definitely a timely rain!

A long-awaited rain after a drought!

If he can transport this batch of gold ingots back, it will surely be a great achievement!

At that time, it will be able to shut up some of the ministers in the court who have always opposed him!

Therefore, Ming Gui's suggestion, in a subtle way, coincided with some of his own little thoughts!

Ming Gui's words, along with Wu Qingye's silence, made the atmosphere in the inn room slightly serious.

Seeing this, Shen Li's lips curled into a cold smile: "What? Do you want to go back on what was agreed upon before? That was His Majesty's word, aren't you afraid of disgracing the royal family by doing this?"

Wu Qingye's face showed a slight embarrassment: "Prince Shen, this..."

However, before he could finish speaking, footsteps sounded outside the inn room.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

Yuan Jin'er stepped forward and opened the door. Standing outside were Jia Daoshi, who had already returned, and Yi Qianxiao.

Just moments ago, he was saying he would disregard friendship and settle accounts clearly, but now someone was knocking on the door. Wu Qingye was truly embarrassed.

Although Jia Daoshi did not speak at this moment, his amused look said it all.

With his skill, how could he not hear what they were saying, even though they were only separated by a wooden door?

So now, what should be done with these treasures?

"Mr. Jia!"

"teacher!"

Inside the room, besides the young general Ming Gui, Yuan Jin'er and Shen Li also came over.

Given her current status, Shen Li felt somewhat embarrassed facing Jia Daoshi.

After all, she also belonged to the court's camp.

The most awkward person was Wu Qingye. Although Wu Qingye prided himself on his profound self-control, he was unable to face Jia Daoshi calmly at this moment.

Jia Daoshi smiled faintly and then went into the room.

After they were seated, he said, “Ninth Prince, I heard what you just said. These are all human nature, and what General Ming said makes sense. So if you feel that you will let me down, then you don’t need to.”

"Furthermore, I didn't really help you any more on the way out, so I'll just take what I got on the first half of the journey."

"Mr. Jia, I..."

After hearing Jia Daoshi's words, Wu Qingye's face still turned red.

Although he really wanted to do as Ming Gui said, subconsciously he still wanted to maintain a good relationship with Jia Daoshi.

Gold is easy to come by, but talent is hard to find!

The awkward thing is that before he could even voice his opposition to Ming Gui, Jia Daoshi had already arrived at the door!

In that case, there's no point in him explaining anymore.

Moreover, it is difficult to convince the other party.

Jia Daoshi interrupted Wu Qingye, saying, "Your Highness, there's no need to worry about it. It's just some gold and silver. I've always regarded money as dirt, so Your Highness need not concern yourself with it."

Jia Daoshi dares to say these pretentious things here mainly because his Mixue Ice Cream has become a sensation in the Great Jing Dynasty. Even the Great Jing army has placed orders, and some military generals have expressed their desire to sign long-term supply agreements with Mixue Ice Cream.

The Emperor secretly told him all this after he returned.

That said, these people from the Imperial City Guard are truly mysterious.

Especially the woman in white; after returning to Youyun County, Jia Daoshi never saw her again.

Moreover, Jia Daoshi also sensed that this Child Emperor's strength seemed to fluctuate, and he didn't know why.

According to information provided by Tong Huang, Mixue Ice Cream is now making a fortune every day.

Therefore, he wasn't really concerned about what he gained from this treasure hunt.

Since the other party has said that, he might as well just keep the last few manuals for himself.

Previously, I was hesitant to take out a book that wasn't very important out of politeness, but now I don't feel that pressure anymore.

Because it was the other party who had selfish motives first, so we can't blame him, can we?

After chatting in the room for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and summarizing their treasure hunt, everyone returned to their respective homes.

Ming Gui had no idea that his words had just caused him to miss out on a top-tier martial arts manual.

After losing such a great opportunity, Ming Gui looked smug, as if he had won a great victory.

"Hmph! How dare they covet the imperial court's gold and silver treasures! How laughable!"

Ming Gui watched Jia Daoshi's departing figure, his eyes filled with smug mockery.

Shen Li happened to see this scene.

"With such a narrow mind and such a limited perspective, you dare to plot against me!"

Shen Li glanced at Ming Gui with disgust, then turned and left.

……

Jia Daoshi had no idea what these people were thinking.

He didn't care.

Anyway, he was the one who got the most out of this trip to the underground palace!

After taking Yi Qianxiao out of Youyun County, he headed towards a small grove of trees.

The previous Shichiro was hidden here.

"My lord, why did we leave without taking anything?"

"And what are you doing bringing me to this grove? In broad daylight, aren't you afraid of being seen by those idle wanderers of the martial arts world..."

Yi Qianxiao felt both puzzled and curious.

What kind of tiger and wolf words is this!

Jia Daoshi was speechless at the state of his wife.

Yi Qianxiao, that is, she met him.

If she married another man, she would probably have to eat a super-nutritious soup every day, and of course, she would also be subjected to various forms of whipping.

"My lady, I'll show you something amazing today," Jia Daoshi said with a mysterious smile.

When Yi Qianxiao saw that smile, her heart pounded like a deer's, and two blushes rose on her face.

Jia Daoshi: "..."

It's clear this woman is starting to get the wrong idea again!

"Ahem... Wife, why don't you close your eyes first? I'll give you a surprise later?" Jia Daoshi said with a smile.

"Huh? I have to close my eyes too? Is this some kind of thrill?" Yi Qianxiao stretched out her small hands and covered her eyes. "Come on, let me see!"
