Just looking outside the cave, the mountain is not wide and tall, but the underground palace below is unfathomable.

Even if Pei Mo and his party had men who were proficient in mechanism hidden weapons leading the charge, it still took three full days to clear the complicated mechanism on the road and enter the center of the underground palace, where the wealth of the Qu family was buried.

There is a high platform in the center of the underground palace. Pei Mo looked around for the lampstands by the weak candlelight of the fire. The place illuminated by the fire was shining with brilliant golden light. Qin Ran took Pei Mo's hand and stood close behind her, seeing the candlesticks on the wall They were all made of gold, and they couldn't help being surprised: "The wealth accumulated by the Qu family for several generations has almost caught up with the treasury of the Qin State. No wonder Qu Huai wants to set up a net to protect this treasure!"

When Qin Ran sat on the empress position in her previous life, the national power of the Qin State had already experienced two generations of rule, and it was much more prosperous than the current Qin State, and it was naturally richer. It can be seen that Qu Huai had a lot of funds for Qin Yue's rebellion. How strong.

Pei Mo's eyes darkened when he heard this. If calculated based on the money she spent training a thousand dark guards, the wealth of the Qu family is enough to support an army of tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and all of them are loyal. It was the same as the mob led by Qin Rong back then.

Light up the candlesticks on the wall, and the high platform in the center of the underground palace suddenly shines with golden light. There are countless gold, silver, jewelry, and rare treasures. Even the rich and powerful like Pei Mo, Qin Ran, and Chu Yunxi, who are of noble birth and enjoy luxurious treatment Can't help but be amazed.

"Fortunately enough people were brought in." Chu Yunxi didn't know what to say when he saw the astonishing amount of treasures, so he could only joke with a light smile.

Commanding the accompanying dark guards to pack the treasures together, one big box after another, carried them out one after another like a long snake. Chu Yunxi saw that the wooden boxes containing gold, silver and jewelry were considered precious things, and a twinkle flashed in his eyes. Have a pleasant surprise.

Pei Mo once promised her [-]% of it. She originally thought it was just a small fortune, but she didn't expect the harvest to be so rich.

After moving all the treasures out of the underground palace and secretly pulling them back to Chu Yunxi's mansion outside the palace, Chu Yunxi plans to share the part she deserves now, so as not to have long nights and dreams.As for the rest of the wooden boxes, she can be a kind person and send someone to help Pei Mo quietly transport them back to the Qin Palace.

When Pei Mo heard the words, he just showed a light smile and shook his head: "If such a huge amount of gold and silver is transported from the Liuli Kingdom to the Qin Kingdom, it will take too much manpower and material resources, and the journey is far away, no matter how many people can do it. Guarantee the safe arrival of a lot of wooden boxes. If Qin Yue finds out that the underground palace has been looted and sends people to snatch it back on the way, how will His Royal Highness King Jing deal with it? It's better like this...

Glancing at the slightly puzzled look on Chu Yunxi's face, he said slowly, "I'll exchange gold and silver for your troops, and you have to send them to me anyway, why don't I give you [-]% more and let you send them to me?" How about staying with me and swearing allegiance to me to the death?"

As far as money is concerned, Pei Mo has never been short of money, and it won't affect her if she gets one more or one less. What is even more lacking now is the manpower and elite forces under her command. If Chen Yi finds out that Qin Yue is about to be pulled down by her , I am afraid that she will be greatly stimulated, and she will rebel rashly. She needs someone who is more serious, and has a perfect way to guard against and deal with it.

According to her observations in the past few days, she found that Chu Yunxi's men and horses were not only elite, but also strict in speech. They were never curious about anything on the way, which was very in line with her requirements for those who are loyal to her.

Looking at Pei Mo's serious expression, Chu Yunxi realized that she was not joking, but had her eye on the elites she had carefully cultivated in the early morning, so she couldn't help but lower her face, and said indifferently: "It turns out that Prime Minister Pei is a drunkard. The meaning is not in the wine, the cooperation to find the treasure is false, it was calculated early in the morning, and it is true that you want to poach me? The agreement only says [-]%, and I will only take [-]% of it. I am sorry that I cannot agree to Xiang Xiang's temporary proposal. "

"I really want to cooperate with King Jing in the treasure hunt, and I also really want to exchange people. It's not a calculation." Pei Mo said sincerely.

Seeing Chu Yunxi snort in disdain, Pei Mo said again:

"Isn't His Royal Highness King Jing holding a large number of elite soldiers in fear of arousing the suspicion of King Liuli? Although King Jing is a princess, he is still a courtier above the court. Regardless of blood relationship, it is not a good thing for a courtier to cover the sky with one hand. It is this kind of person who is taboo. If you think about it, King Jing also understands the truth. At that time, he must be reluctant to hand over the elite in his hand to King Liuli, right? How about exchanging it with me for mutual benefit."

"Pei Mo!" Chu Yunxi yelled angrily after being stabbed in the sore foot.

Qin Ran was sandwiched between the two of them, glanced at Pei Mo, who had a smile on his lips but looked cold in his eyes, and then at Chu Yunxi, who had a tough attitude and would not give in at all, pondered for a moment, thought for a while before saying: "Since there is Allies whose interests are involved, why should they turn their heads over such a trivial matter?"

"Small matter?" Chu Yunxi laughed.

"What does King Jing think is such a big deal?" Qin Ran raised her delicate face and asked puzzledly, "Pei Mo just wanted to buy a team of loyal subordinates for her use, and wanted His Royal Highness It’s just helping to choose, is this more difficult than climbing to the sky?”

With one sentence, Qin Ran lightly distorted Pei Mo's aggressive intentions, leaving room for the two of them to discuss, and at the same time helping Pei Mo gain the upper hand in reason.

Qin Ran is Pei Mo's lover, so her heart is naturally inclined to her. Chu Yunxi can't argue with the two of them alone, so she can't help but get angry. However, Pei Mo is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If she falls out easily, she may have one more A difficult enemy, without an ally who can cooperate and win-win, it is not worth it.

Chu Yunxi considered Qin Ran's words for a long time, and finally backed down: "I can gather a group of people from all corners of the world to hire for you, which counts as helping you choose."

Now that Qin Ran had spoken, Pei Mo would naturally follow her: "Thank you, King Jing, as a reward, the [-]% more treasure you mentioned just now still counts."

"In addition, when you are in crisis, send troops to help me." Pei Mo immediately added a bargaining chip, "Similarly, when you are in crisis, I will do my best to help you tide over the difficulties."

Chu Yunxi thought about it secretly, and found that she was not at a disadvantage. Even if Pei Mo really encountered a crisis and sent troops to Qin, she could still take the opportunity to gain some benefits from it.

After all, Qin State's defense is tight, and there are not many opportunities to send troops to infiltrate in an upright manner.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunxi readily agreed, and the two hit it off immediately. After reaching a mutual agreement, the red-faced dispute ended, and the chat and laughter resumed.

While they were chatting, someone suddenly reported outside the door. Pei Mo took a closer look and found that it was the dead soldier she had stayed in Qin to protect Qin Ran!
