Xiao Duye said coldly, “Why don’t you rob someone?”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, “That’s right. I could have s.n.a.t.c.hed the money openly, but I insisted on giving you a mask. I’m too kind.” Xiao Duye narrowed his eyes. “Men! Take down such a rebellious person!” Leng Rui smiled proudly.
He had asked her not to hand over the mask. Wasn’t it better now?
No matter how capable Su Cheng was, could he defeat so many inner court experts?
She was dead meat!
A few inner court experts rushed forward.
Coincidentally, at this moment, a young man in black rushed over from the sky and knocked away an expert from the imperial palace with a sword.
He landed steadily in front of Su Xiaoxiao , holding the three-foot-long Cold Light Sword.
This man alone could hold the fort, and no one could break through! Xiao Duye looked at the young man in front of him and his expression darkened.
Su Xiaoxiao stood behind the youth and poked his shoulder with her chubby finger.
“Jing Yi.”
Jing Yi’s aura was fully released. “I’ll deal with them.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “No, you stepped on my father’s foot.”
Jing Yi was speechless.
Jing Yi turned his head and looked at Su Cheng, who had lost his expression from the pain. His handsome face turned pale and he moved aside helplessly.
It was not easy for him to act cool, but he failed. It could be said to be very awkward.
Xiao Duye had experienced how powerful Jing Yi was. Moreover, he was not alone. He had Bai Ze beside him.
Bai Ze arrived a few steps later than Jing Yi and landed behind Xiao Duye.
It was as if he would stab him if he dared to attack his young marquis. Xiao Duye gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t have so many banknotes on me!”
Su Xiaoxiao was an old businesswoman. “Give me something valuable.”
Xiao Duye glanced at Jing Yi coldly.
JingYi held his sword and threatened, “Do as she says.”
Now was not the best time to fall out with Jing Yi. He had entered the forest to exterminate the White Lotus Society and make a contribution. He could not lose big because of a small matter. The grudge with Third Brother would be settled in the future!
Xiao Duye suppressed his anger and took off the jade pendant on his waist.
“This is worth at least 10,000 taels!”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Have you ever seen a p.a.w.nshop buy at the original price?
500 taels!”
Xiao Duye exploded!
What kind of profiteer was this girl?
In the end, Xiao Duye used all his a.s.sets in exchange for Su Xiaoxiao’s gas mask.
After giving it to him, Su Xiaoxiao took out a gas mask from her bag and handed it to Jing Yi.
Jing Yi was about to take out the silver.
Su Xiaoxiao gestured for him to stop. “You don’t have to pay five thousand taels. Your looks alone will pay for most of it. Five copper coins! Buy one, get one free!”
Xiao Duye thought of his a.s.sets that were worth tens of thousands of taels and spat out a mouthful of blood—
Was he so d.a.m.n ugly that it was inhumane?
“Do you want to buy one?” Su Xiaoxiao looked at the Leng father and son.
“You have more?” Leng Rui’s temples throbbed.
It would be a lie to say that he was not envious. In fact, anything this girl took out could make people go crazy.
It seemed there was an enless supply…
General Leng said to Leng Zhiruo, “Go buy it.”
Leng Zhiruo came to Su Xiaoxiao. “How much is one?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Ten thousand taels, no bargaining!”
Leng Rui widened his eyes. “Hey! Wasn’t it only 5,000 taels just now!”
Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms. “That’s the price for a prince. Can you compare to a prince?”
Xiao Duye instantly felt comfortable. He was now willing to be scammed!
What could the Leng father and son say? Talking about the price of another copper coin was disrespectful to the prince!
The Leng family was also rich. The banknotes and a.s.sets on the three of them were no less than Xiao Duye’s.
Wuhu said, “Fool! Fool! Fool!”
The faces of the Leng father and son darkened.
Xiao Duye looked at the Leng family suspiciously.
General Leng’s eyes darkened. This girl had roasted the Leng family over the fire with just a few words.
He thought that she was really just extorting money…
Su Xiaoxiao had earned a lot and didn’t intend to continue wasting time with them. “Dad, Jing Yi, let’s go!”
Xiao Duye narrowed his eyes. “Jing Yi, have you forgotten that you still have a mission?”
Jing Yi said bluntly, “I’m here to exterminate the White Lotus Society, not to protect you, First Prince.”
Xiao Duye had no intention of letting Jing Yi protect him. Jing Yi was Third Brother’s man. Even if he really wanted to protect him, he did not dare to use him.
He wanted to remind Jing Yi that he and Su Daya were not the same kind of people.
However, Jing Yi didn’t seem to care. Had his relationship with Su Daya become so intimate in such a short time?
“Your Highness, aren’t we going to stop them?”
A person dressed as an expert walked forward. This person was Xu Qing.
When Xiao Duye ordered the capture of Su Daya just now, Xu Qing did not work hard at all. Xiao Duye was a little annoyed by him.
Xu Qing was Qin Yanran’s man and did not seem to follow his orders.
Xiao Duye glared at him. “Are you stopping him?”
Xu Qing did not say anything else.
Su Cheng carried the big saber and led the way. Jing Yi and Su Xiaoxiao followed closely behind, and Bai Ze led the horse to cover the back. Jing Yi asked Su Xiaoxiao, “Is the person on the horse Su MO?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
Jing Yi said, “Cousin guessed correctly, but I didn’t expect you to come here.
Did you enter from the entrance? Cousin probably wouldn’t have let you in.”
It was too dangerous inside, so Xiao Zhonghua wouldn’t let Su Xiaoxiao take the risk.
Su Xiaoxiao confessed, “I came in from another place. By the way, did you find anything along the way?”
Jing Yi shook his head. “I didn’t discover much for the time being. Instead, I fell into many traps. Bai Ze and I were separated from Qing Xuan and Wu Mu. In addition, I think I saw Wei Ting. Someone was following behind him. Is that his secret guard?”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “Ah, I guess so.”
It was not convenient to tell him about Wei Liulang.
Jing Yi was a man of few words, but when he was with Su Xiaoxiao, he subconsciously wanted to say something. “Cousin has been investigating the White Lotus Society recently. Guardian He has explained a lot, and Division Leader Chen has also revealed some things. There’s something very strange.” “What is it?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Jing Yi asked, “Do you know why the White Lotus Society developed so quickly?”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Paywall?”
“Huh?” Jing Yi didn’t understand.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “What I mean is that the White Lotus Society spent money. For example, you can obtain as many benefits as you want by joining the White Lotus Society. You can eat your fill and wear warm clothes. I think this is a huge temptation for many poor commoners.”
Jing Yi was surprised by her intelligence and knowledge, but he felt that she should be such a girl.
Jing Yi nodded. “That’s right. That’s the problem. Cousin checked the account books of the White Lotus Society. They almost didn’t make much money. At least the temple still has devotees offering incense, but the White Lotus Society has been distributing money to its disciples. Cousin doesn’t understand, where did their money come from? Cousin continued to investigate and found a martial arts sect that was wiped out by Lord Wu An 30 years ago. That sect is most likely the predecessor of the White Lotus Society. They once dug gold mines and went through salt shipments. The Imperial Court has wiped out the silver, but there might be… a lot left out.”
“If we can find that money, we can take drastic measures against the White Lotus Society.”
“Are you sure it’s silver?” Su Xiaoxiao asked blankly.
“What?” Jing Yi realized that Su Xiaoxiao was not following him.
He turned around and saw Su Xiaoxiao standing rooted to the ground in a daze, staring down at the blue parrot that was pecking on the ground.
He walked over and lowered his head to take a look. His eyebrows twitched!
He hurriedly squatted down and pushed aside the mud that had been pecked to pieces by the five tigers. A dazzling golden light shot out from the crack in the ground.
This was the White Lotus Society’s treasury!
