The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"ah.."

As soon as she entered the room, Hua jumped onto the bed, looking completely satisfied.

"It's been a long time since I've been to the city."

Seeing this, Fang Yun grinned and said, "Me too. I'll take you out for a good look around tomorrow."

"You've had a long day, take a good shower, and we'll go down for dinner later."

.........

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Changsha Hotel.

At this moment, Huo Sanniang was sitting at the table, looking at her subordinates with a surprised expression and asking.

"Are the Mountain Moving Sect members in our restaurant?"

"Can you see clearly?"

"Master, among those four people, two men and one woman are dressed as Taoist priests, and their appearance is similar to what is said in the industry."

"Most importantly, they were covered in sand and dust, and had a strong earthy and medicinal smell. If they hadn't just come out of the fields, they must have been carrying raw medicinal herbs."

"I see, let's go."

"By the way, don't provoke them, but keep an eye on them. If they leave the city, notify me immediately!"

After her subordinates left, Huo Sanniang narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth.

Whether they smell of earth or are raw and untamed, it means they have something to do with the underground.

How could someone in this line of work be carrying artifacts and swaggering around in a hotel?

Therefore, it is very likely that the four people have their eyes on a prime location near Changsha, but have not yet succeeded.

But Changsha is different now... If you want to eat underground, you have to ask the nine gates of the city first.

As the saying goes, even a dragon can't escape its swift flight.

If those four people really found a treasure land, then she would gain both wealth and life!

As for whether they are mountain movers or not, that doesn't matter. If they are mountain movers, that's fine too.

The Mountain Moving and Tomb Raiders only seek elixirs and rare medicines, not gold, jade, or precious goods. In the end, all the benefits will go to her, and she can even win over the Mountain Moving team!

After all, the competition among the Nine Gates is quite fierce.

She had only recently taken the position of head of the Huo family and needed to do something to enhance her prestige within the clan.

......

Fang Yun and his three companions were unaware of the coincidence that the hotel they randomly chose was owned by the Huo family, one of the Nine Gates.

Of course, even if they knew, they wouldn't take it seriously.

The dangers of tomb raiding lie not only in the traps and treacherous objects within the tombs, but also in the scheming of fellow travelers.

Could the Huo family, a mere family, possibly be more dangerous than the Chen family of the Unloading Ridge faction or warlords?

Stay quietly for two days, then just take the train and leave.

(After reading the comments, not a single reader offered any feedback or criticism. Is it because my writing is so bad that they just closed the page and left without even bothering to criticize? Haha.)

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Entering Mongolia

Two days later.

"I see!"

Huo San Niang looked at the letter in her hand with a shocked expression.

"The three factions of tomb raiding, mountain moving, and ridge unloading, working together, actually managed to take over Ping Mountain."

Last night, the Huo family obtained a piece of information.

The Chen family of Xiangyin, who were involved in the Unloading Ridge and Moving Mountain factions, took over the dangerous Ping Mountain, a place that no one had dared to enter for a hundred years, and obtained countless gold and jade treasures from it.

The two factions that cooperated with the Unloading Ridge and Tomb Raiders were exactly four people in total, three men and one woman!

Three people were wearing Taoist robes, and one was dressed in a black, close-fitting outfit... This attire...

Isn't that exactly the same group of four people who checked into the Huo family hotel the night before!

Judging from the information we've received, the rules of the Tomb Raiders and Mountain Movers are exactly as rumored. In that case... these four should really try to become friends.

"The location of the Nine Gates...it's time to move it."

Thinking of this, Huo Sanniang narrowed her eyes, curled up her lips, and her smile grew even wider.

Then he picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hahaha, isn't this Third Sister? Calling today, did you miss your brother? I've still reserved the position of my eighteenth concubine for you!"

As soon as the call connected, a loud, boisterous laugh came from the other end.

Upon hearing this, Huo Sanniang's expression hardened, but she quickly recovered and whispered into the phone:

"Brother Luo, you never think of me, your Third Sister, when you're having good things happen to you."

"Third Sister heard that Brother Luo recently acquired a batch of good goods..."

Knock...knock...

About five minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

"Then it's settled. Third Sister thanks Brother Luo in advance."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Sanniang shook her head, her face full of mockery.

"come in."

The gate opened, and a woman dressed as a martial arts performer entered, bowing to Huo Sanniang and saying:

"Master, those four people have left the city!"

"They've left the city. Have our men followed?"

"They boarded the train to Beiping, so our people didn't dare follow them and sent the message back directly."

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Sanniang suddenly stood up from her chair.

Just leave like that?

So, these tomb raiders were just passing by? They weren't here to scout out the area around Changsha?

She has made many plans and thought of countless ways to phrase things these past two days, all in order to bring those four people into an alliance and make the Huo family's voice louder and more prominent among the Nine Gates.

Now tell her that all her efforts these past two days were in vain?

After taking a deep breath, Huo Sanniang calmly sat down again, shook her head, and said:

"Let them go if they're gone. Let's bring them all back."

"Go and let your family know that I'm going out to collect a large quantity of goods in three days."

"Yes, master!"

Watching her subordinates leave, Huo Sanniang fell into deep thought.

"Changsha is too small..."

"We can't cooperate with the Tomb Raiders... but the Unloading Ridge and warlords are not out of the question."

.........

At this time, Fang Yun and the other three had already boarded the train to Beiping and gathered in a sleeper compartment.

"Those people didn't follow!"

After peering around outside the door, the old foreigner closed it.

Partridge Whistle sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, speaking calmly.

"We should just focus on doing our own thing."

“That’s not what you said yesterday.”

Hearing Partridge Whistle's words, the old foreigner's expression turned strange, and he muttered something under his breath.

Yesterday, while he and his senior brother were searching for a map of Mongolia in Changsha, they discovered a few small tails.

If he hadn't stopped him, his senior brother would have given each of those little followers a peanut. Now he's saying they should just do their own thing.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun glanced at Partridge Whistle and laughed.

Partridge Whistle is truly a remarkable person.

Sometimes they can be a bit silly, and sometimes they can be quite clever, but overall they are a great companion and give people a sense of security.

Yesterday, when he and Hua went out shopping, they noticed someone following them.

However, he didn't pay any attention to it.

It's obvious without even thinking that those little tails were released by one of the Nine Gates.

Before coming to Changsha, Chen Yulou told him that Changsha had been in chaos for more than ten years and had only settled down in the last two years.
