There were no outsiders here. Apart from Special Envoy Xun, the rest were all deputies. Although it was obvious that the Outer Prince was bribing them, no one present cared, and no one would report it to the inner court.
Because what Special Envoy Xun had just said was a reminder to the Outer Prince.
The meaning of these words was very clear. Whether or not the Outer Prince should be brought back to the inner court would be decided after an investigation.
As for how to investigate and what the results of the investigation would be, it was entirely up to these special envoys to decide.
Wasn't this telling the Outer Prince that as long as these special envoys felt that there was no problem, he didn't have to go to the inner court.
How could the Outer Prince not realize that it was so obvious?
Therefore, at this time, he expressed his attitude and invited the special envoys to admire his collection. This was exactly what the special envoys were interested in!
As expected, the special envoys were all smiles!
"We have long heard that the Outer Prince likes to collect strange things in the world, so you must have a lot of them. Since the Outer Prince is so enthusiastic, we can only respectfully accept, lest we ruin the Outer Prince's good intentions!" Special Envoy Xun said with a smile.
Obviously, he liked such a straightforward person like the Outer Prince very much.
If everyone could be as straightforward as the Outer Prince when he went out to patrol, then this job would be much easier to do.
In fact, it wasn't the first time he had gone out on patrol.
Sometimes, when he met stingy people or people who thought themselves to be virtuous, they wouldn't be so straightforward.
Even though he had made it very clear, and even if he didn't directly ask them for benefits, they still pretended to be ignorant.
Therefore, it was much easier to deal with people like the Outer Prince.
Moreover, for this kind of thing, even the inner court kept their eyes closed. After all, they were so far away, and they didn't care that much.
Because they knew that if they really captured or even killed the Outer Prince of the outer court, it would have a great impact on the outer court and even the other outer courts.
If things went wrong, it might even encourage some of the less loyal outer court forces to rebel against the inner court.
Therefore, the inner court actually couldn't really do anything that was too excessive.
However, the thoughts of the inner court were certainly different from those of the other outer courts, and the outer court wouldn't know what the inner court was thinking.
In this way, it was very normal for special envoys like Xun Hongtao to fish up some good stuff when they went on diplomatic missions.
After all, being a special envoy also meant going through the wind and rain. Receiving some gifts could be considered as their travel expenses.
"Special envoys, please!" The Outer King was full of disdain and suddenly had no good impression of the Imperial Dynasty.
After all, even if it was Cheng Yu and the others, even if they controlled the White Sun Outer Dynasty, they didn't say anything about plundering their treasures.
But this special envoy of the inner court seemed to be here to take bribes.
However, if he could spend money to avert the disaster, it didn't matter even if he lost some heavenly treasures!
At the very least, the current situation was not bad. The other party was willing to accept the benefits, which meant that this matter could be skipped.
If the other party didn't even give you a chance to bribe them, that would show how serious the problem was.
Therefore, the King immediately led Special Envoy Xun and the five deputies to the inner court.
Under the guidance of the Outer Prince, everyone passed through the five courtyards and finally arrived at the forbidden area of the Outer Prince Mansion. Naturally, the Outer Monarch's treasury was in this forbidden area.
The other people of the Outer Prince Mansion couldn't enter at any time, but he had no choice but to bring these special envoys in.
After entering a large hall, Leng Yi and the seven chief elders stayed in the hall. As for the Outer Prince, he used the mechanism inside to open the door of the underground treasury.
When looking at the hall from the outside, it didn't seem that the hall was very big.
But when they entered the underground treasury, they discovered that the area of the underground treasury was much larger than the hall above ground.
Moreover, this treasury was designed with many huge stone doors. Some stone doors were only for defense and protection, while others were small sealed treasuries.
There were all kinds of cultivation resources, so it was impossible for the Outer Prince to put all the resources in a secret room. Moreover, it wasn't safe.
"The Outer Prince's underground treasury is really good. I think no one will be able to steal the Outer Prince's treasures from here!" Deputy Song Wen said with a smile as he looked at the underground treasury.
However, seeing that the underground treasure vault was so large and so ingeniously designed, the few of them looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.
This was because they knew that the more tightly guarded the treasury was, the more it meant that there were many good things hidden in it.
Of course, no matter how greedy they were, it was impossible for them to take away all the treasures in the treasury. That would be too much.
If they really angered the Outer Prince and things got out of hand, it would be hard for them to clean up the mess.
Therefore, they knew that even if they only took a few treasures, it would be a good thing.
"That's for sure. No one from the White Sun Outer Dynasty would dare to steal treasures from the Outer Prince Mansion. As for people outside of the White Sun Outer Dynasty, it's even more impossible, "the Outer Prince said with a smile.
"That's true. Just like in our inner court, I'm afraid no one would dare to steal from the Great Elder's residence. They must be tired of living!" The special envoys laughed.
In their eyes, the encampments of the inner and outer court were definitely the safest places.
How many people in this world would dare to break into the encampments of the inner and outer court? Especially the encampments of the inner court, it was even more impossible for anyone to break into it.
As for the people in the inner court, even if they were given ten thousand guts, they would not dare to steal the treasures of the elders. If they did, they wouldn't even know how they died.
Seeing how confident these people were, the Outer Prince didn't think so at all.
Even if he had the same thoughts as them in the past, he would definitely not have such thoughts now.
He didn't know whether he could break into the inner court or not, but at least his White Sun Outer Dynasty had already been broken through and was completely controlled by someone.
Since the outer court could be broken through, who could say for sure that the inner court wouldn't be broken through in the future?
Moreover, with Cheng Yu and the Holy Dynasty behind him, the dynasty was already destined to have a very powerful and even very terrifying opponent.
No one could predict what would happen in the future.
"Alright, everyone, please follow me in!" Walking to the innermost part of the treasury, the Outer Prince brought everyone to a secret room, opened the door, and invited them.
This secret room wasn't very big, but it wasn't small either. There were a lot of shelves inside, and on the shelves, there were a lot of treasures.
There were all kinds of treasures, all kinds of spiritual items, immortal herbs, and so on. The eyes of the special envoys lit up.
