Xiao Wuqing's face turned cold and he replied: "If you don't believe it, how could I survive until now?"
Su Changfeng couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"That guy is getting better and better, and he actually believes this."
Yan Wanbai didn't understand the truth, so he asked, "What do you mean?"
Su Changfeng smiled and said: "I have also heard of the 'Tiangong Treasure', and even now it is still called 'one of the three mysteries of Daxia'."
"About a thousand years ago, the dynasty was corrupt and the people rebelled."
"According to records, the leader at that time was named Wang Sheng, who called himself 'Tiangong General' and claimed to be the envoy of Tiangong."
"The custom at that time divided people into three categories: royal family, aristocratic family, and common people."
"The royal family needs the support of aristocratic families, and aristocratic families are sucking the blood of civilians to strengthen themselves, while the rebel army led by Wang Sheng is mainly composed of civilians."
Su Changfeng did not continue, but asked: "In your opinion, what will be their ending?"
Yan Wanbai's eyes flashed brightly and he replied: "No matter how loud the momentum is and no matter how smooth the process of conquering the city is, they will eventually fail."
Raising an army to rebel is something that requires courage. Regardless of the outcome, Wang Sheng is still a character.
But resourcefulness and bravery alone are not enough. If you don’t have money or food, you still won’t be able to achieve great things.
But if they have money and food, how can those common people who are usually bullied by aristocratic families rebel?
This creates an infinite loop.
Su Changfeng nodded and continued: "At first, Wang Sheng may have the upper hand with his personal and numerical advantages."
"But when the army became larger and more bloated, the importance of money and food skyrocketed."
"Besides, the royal family at that time had a very good relationship with the aristocratic family, so it was naturally impossible for them to just sit back and watch the dynasty fall."
"Taking a step back, once the dynasty is destroyed, how can Wang Sheng, the leader of the rebels, spare them?"
Su Changfeng said with some regret: "The legitimacy of the royal family, coupled with the support of the aristocratic family, naturally the common people who receive a little favor will no longer support Wang Sheng."
"Since then, the tide has changed and the rebellion was put down by the royal family in less than half a year."
Yan Wanbai nodded and asked at the same time: "What about the 'Tiangong Treasure'?"
Su Changfeng explained: "Wang Sheng destroyed many aristocratic families during the war, and the money and food among them was naturally used by him for military purposes."
"The food will be eaten up, but the money will not be used halfway."
"Do you know why?"
Yan Wanbai chuckled and said: "The aristocratic family controls a lot of wealth, so naturally no merchant dares to do business with Wang Sheng."
Su Changfeng nodded and said: "Knowing that he was bound to lose, Wang Sheng hid a large amount of wealth in one place."
"It's just that no one knows where it is hidden, and over time it has become a legend."
"After that, I don't know how many years passed, but rumors of the 'Tiangong Treasure' appeared among the people, which referred to the gold and silver treasures that Wang Sheng had hidden."
Yan Wan's white willow eyebrows frowned slightly.
"The treasure is buried in Daxia. What's the use of Qi Tianyue if he knows about it?"
"Besides, as the deputy commander of the Beixiang Kingdom's war department, does he really care about that little money?"
"That little money?"
Su Changfeng couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he heard this: "The Great Xia Dynasty a thousand years ago covered seven countries including Beixiang Kingdom."
"But the size of the rebel army at that time swept across most of the dynasty's territory."
"Most of the dynasty's wealth is concentrated in aristocratic families. If you look at the 'Tiangong Treasure', is it tempting?"
Yan Wanbai showed a surprised expression.
The wealth of most of the families in a dynasty... is probably enough to equal the tax revenue of Thailand in ten years.
After all, Bactria was an ancient oriental country in the world before, and its financial resources and collections were naturally beyond imagination.
Not to mention Qi Tianyue, even Yan Wanbai, who regards money as dirt, was a little moved when he heard it.
