Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 419 Memories of those years ([-])

419 Chapter 419 Memories of those years ([-])
I haven’t been to Changsha for decades. Compared with the past, many things in the teahouse street have changed. Except for my small teahouse building, it still maintains the original appearance of the ancient building. Many of the surrounding buildings were built later, and their uses have also changed. Everything has changed.

We were full of unfamiliarity here when we first arrived. We rested for a few days first to get familiar with the surrounding environment.

As soon as I arranged my accommodation, I linked the bedroom passageway from my own era in Qilin City to the bedroom on the second floor of the teahouse. In this way, in addition to using the spiritual power of Qilin City, I can also use some very advanced things in the human world. It is more convenient for me to get advanced things from the future time and space.

My brother is in a daze every day, silently observing the streets. Sometimes we sit on the roof, which should allow us to see further and observe more things.

He always said that he would wait for the Zhang family to come over and take care of him, but I didn't see him contacting anyone. He didn't go out for a while, and no one came to look for him.

If we live here, we will be seen by others, and we are afraid that if someone asks us who we are, we have to have an external identity.

I originally thought it was very simple, he is Mr. Zhang, and I am Miss Zhang. I just want to say to the outside world that the boss is back. However, things are not what I thought. If I didn't pay attention, it seems to have gone wrong.

Usually the teahouse is always watched by the old shopkeeper. He looks like an old butler at first glance. His brother looks like he is in his 20s. He is handsome, charming, and has an extraordinary bearing. At first glance, he looks like a young and promising man. He looks fair and clean. When I went up, I looked like a teahouse owner, and I was still a child. Within a few days, I was told that the boss had come back with his daughter for inspection.

After hearing this, I said in the room: "Why am I his daughter? How do I look like him?"

The old shopkeeper said "uh" and said, "I think maybe because you two have the same surname and similar age, they thought..."

After thinking about it, I said: "Forget it, it's useless to worry about this. Let's do this for now. This is not bad. It's not ostentatious. After all, this is an old store for decades. The boss is a child less than ten years old. It can't be said that there is no such thing. But that seems to be too special, and it will arouse the curiosity of others."

The old shopkeeper nodded and said, "The boss said yes."

I took a deep breath and said, "Okay, from now on, call him the boss, call me the eldest lady, and tell them not to show their faces, and don't say too much."

The old shopkeeper said: "Don't worry, I will make arrangements first."

I nodded, "Go ahead, go ahead."

Zhang Qiling could see that even though the girl said so, she didn't seem to be very happy in her heart, so he picked up a piece of fruit candy and handed it to her. When she saw that she had it in her mouth, a bump immediately appeared on half of her face, and she was bulging with anger. Not to mention how cute she looks.

Looking at the girl frowning thoughtfully, she suddenly asked him: "Brother, am I young?"

Zhang Qiling heard that the girl was very concerned about this matter and was thinking about it seriously, but for him, as long as the girl was safe and healthy, he didn't think it was a problem, and he never thought about it, so he just ignored it. He looked at her without answering.

The girl thought for a moment and said: "No, I don't want you to be my father. You are the person I like. How can you be my father? You are too old."

Zhang Qiling said: "They are just talking."

But the girl immediately said: "That won't work either."

Zhang Qiling couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the girl competing seriously, but he just looked at her with soft eyes.

To understand this place, let the guy in the teahouse who is responsible for collecting intelligence tell us about the situation in Changsha at that time and the current situation of Jiumen. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy makes it easier to do things.

I asked him to tell us about the year when his brother went to the Snow Mountain, especially about Jiumen. He said: "The situation in Jiumen has not been very good in recent years. The foreigner in Jude's exam is particularly bad. He is so cruel. He was too ruthless, stealing things and killing people. After the big silk book case in the Warring States Period, many of his former partners had their families ruined by him. Even those who escaped and hid by chance did not dare to go here again. The waters are muddy.”

I nodded and said: "This guy Jude has done several good things. Money is not the most important thing in his eyes, but it is absolutely indispensable. Fortunately, he got the Warring States silk book, which he couldn't unravel for a while. Even if it's untied, it still doesn't matter whether he can get what he wants."

The clerk said: "If you ask me, in the final analysis, it's because the secrets of the Warring States silk scrolls dug up by the Wu family are so attractive. The Wu family is also strange. It seems that they have a special fate with the blood corpse tomb. Their family I have found blood corpse tombs not once or twice. In addition to this time when I got the Warring States silk book, I have also dug it up in Luoyang before. Some of the people who went to the tomb at that time also came back, but they were crazy."

I said, "I've heard of blood corpses and blood corpse tombs, but what is the specific situation?"

Zhang Qiling said: "There is a saying that has been circulating in the tomb robbing community, "The soil is full of blood, and the corpse is gold." It means that in general cemeteries with blood in the soil, there are usually very valuable treasures. Even if there are no valuable burial objects, with the good quality of the cemetery, Feng shui will also make future generations prosperous and prosperous.”

I frowned, then smiled helplessly and said, "Promoted and prosperous? That must be good luck, right? The formation of the "blood corpse" is related to an incident in my brother's family. For those who want to get the secret It is true that they are all powerful and wealthy people, but it is a pity that whether they are those who hold secrets in their graves, those who want to get the secrets, or those who discover the secrets and provide clues, they will all end up with the same fate in the end.

These blood corpse tombs should be difficult to discover. The Wu family has been able to discover them many times and can even run back people from the blood corpse tombs, which is already very impressive.

As for the crazy people, they were either scared, or there was something like hallucinogenic meteorite in the tomb. Jiumen had previously been to an abandoned ancient tomb of the Zhang family in Changsha, and there was a particularly large meteorite. , Zhang Qishan also took a small piece at that time, but later the Zhang family took it away.

The silk books recording the secrets were all taken out by the Wu family, so wouldn't the Wu family also know some secrets they shouldn't know? "

The teahouse clerk said: "It's really possible. Four people from his family visited the tomb at Biaoziling. They all found it and got the Warring States silk scrolls inside. Even if everyone doesn't know the whole story, they can steal the Warring States silk scrolls from Judekao. In the end, there were still some people who knew something about it, but the matter was too involved and we couldn't say too much. Even those who knew something kept silent about it.

After that incident, the native masters in Changsha have almost completely reshuffled their cards. The old nine sects have declined, and everyone is in a state of despair. In other words, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Those with serious businesses may live better. , I’ll hold on to it anyway.

On the surface, they are all quite at ease now. The only news is that Zhang Dafo Lord is looking for Zhang Qiling. It is said that it is the intention of his superiors, but this matter is relatively sensitive, so it is basically done secretly. "

I said, "His boss? You mean the army?"

The guy said, "I heard that he was drinking and reminiscing with old friends in that area. He talked too much after drinking. His superiors noticed and asked him to look for clues. When the leader spoke, he had to agree. Then what happened? That’s all for now.”

I said, "Isn't he causing trouble? Brother, I think we should leave him alone. He caused trouble by himself, so let him solve it by himself."

Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, so I added, "He should be considered as teaming up with outsiders to sell family secrets and expose the Zhang family. Moreover, they are members of the official family. This is not just a family matter."

Seeing that he was still silent, I had to continue: "Brother, this matter is definitely not that simple. Zhang Qishan casually told the secrets of the Zhang family after drinking too much. He was too casual. There is no way he didn't know that the speaker had no intention." "The listener meant it", especially for such a big matter, how can he say it to others carelessly? Thinking at best, he didn't mean it, he just said it unintentionally, which also shows that this person's vigilance is already high. Not as good as before.

The scary thing is that if he is not really drunk, but pretends to be drunk and deliberately reveals the secret, then you cannot easily trust this person regardless of whether he was a good person before.

You are looking for him because you want to discuss cooperation with him to protect the Zhang family, right? Then he is probably looking for you just to ask you to help him find the secrets of the Zhang family for his superiors. There must be exchange conditions for this kind of cooperation, which is tantamount to asking for Do a business.

The ideal situation for both parties to do business is a "win-win" situation. The purpose of cooperation is to complement resources and share risks. One more person will have more strength. But brother, after all, this is an ideal state and is not the same as reality. This The business is too big and the temptation is too great.

You have to do this because of your mission. What about that officer? What is he doing for?What is Zhang Qishan doing?They are much more complex than you.

If you go out, this is a tripartite cooperation. You will be the weakest among the three parties and the most dangerous, and you will have no way out.

Regardless of whether Zhang Qishan is good or bad, he is just a middleman. The credit for doing things well belongs to Zhang Qishan. On the contrary, he can escape unscathed, and you will be the one who will be pushed out to bear all the consequences. Even if Zhang Qishan is still the Zhang family, with him He may not be able to help you despite his strength.

In short, people's hearts are unpredictable. If the partner is not trustworthy, don't take the risk to cooperate. "

Zhang Qiling looked at the little girl in front of him who suddenly became very mature in speaking. He was somewhat surprised, but he knew that the girl was anxious again, and he knew very well that what the girl said was right, but this matter was already on the line, and he could not believe it. Good or not, it seems we can only take one chance.

He looked at the little girl and saw that he was ignoring her, and muttered: "I knew it, anyway, it's useless to say anything. Even though I feel like a mirror in my heart, it's useless. If only I could take you away from here directly." alright."

Zhang Qiling touched her head and said, "You can't do this."

The girl reluctantly responded: "Oh, I understand."

Soon after, my brother said that he was going out, but he needed some things. I told him: "Everything you buy now requires a ticket, and you can only buy it on card days. It's not convenient. What do you want to use to go to my various stores?" Just take it from the warehouse, ask Bai Hao and Li Yue to pick it up for you."

Then he will go out for a few days every other day. Usually he will tell me: "I will go out for a while."

But I asked him: "Why are you going?"

He didn't say much, and left mysteriously with both hands empty. He walked around for several days. Sometimes his clothes would be different when he went out and when he came back. He wouldn't say anything when he came back, but later he told me that he had Contacted the Zhang family and Zhang Qishan.
