Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

Chu Ning, Qi Tiezui, and Adjutant Zhang looked at each other and saw solemnity on each other's faces.

"So the only option is to fight?"

Chu Ning spoke softly, and the chieftain nodded helplessly.

Qi Tiezui took a breath of cold air. Although Bai Qiao and Hei Qiao had disputes with each other, it was still a paradise. If a dispute really broke out, those who had settled down with great difficulty would suffer.

“If we confront Hei Qiao, will it affect you and your people?

We can't just do this for ourselves, after all, this is where you live too."

"My uncle had long since colluded with the people of Heiqiao Village to kill the tribe members for his own selfish desires...

Even my children were murdered by them.

I must avenge this blood feud!"

When the chieftain said this, hatred and pain flashed across his eyes, but it only lasted for a brief moment before she concealed it well.

Chu Ning noticed this emotional fluctuation. The chieftain looked at Chu Ning with nostalgia in his eyes.

"Your eyes are as clear as his."

Chu Ning took a step forward and approached the chieftain, his eyes showing concern for him. "If the young master were still alive, he wouldn't want his loving mother to live in the pain of hatred all day long."

Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang did not stop Chu Ning. Although they cared about the lives of the people in Baiqiao Village, they still could not put themselves in the shoes of a mother and offer any comfort.

Chu Ning raised his hand and rummaged through his sleeves, finally pulling out a small wooden sword and handing it to the chieftain.

The chief chief recognized at a glance the small wooden sword in Chu Ning's palm, which was carved from the sacred tree of their Baiqiao village.

"I didn't say anything nonsense. The young master doesn't blame his mother. He hopes that you can be safe and that the people of Baiqiao Village can be happy under your leadership."

The chief chieftain's hands trembled slightly as he held the small wooden sword tightly in his palms.

"This...Xiao Ning, Master Ba, Adjutant Zhang, thank you very much."

Adjutant Zhang nudged Qi Tiezui with his elbow, and Chu Ning grinned at Qi Tiezui in return.

Only then did Qi Tiezui understand the purpose of the piece of the sacred tree that Chu Ning had asked him to take off.

The look he gave Chu Ning was filled with worry and happiness. This child was really... kind.

But sometimes, kindness can be a disaster. Fortunately, they are watching over the child now.

The chief chief carefully put away the small wooden sword, calmed himself down, and then looked at the three people.

“We have to prepare now.

Now that I have regained control of Baiqiao Village, they will take action at any time, if it’s fast.” The chief chief looked at the sky outside, it was already afternoon.

"If it's quick, it'll be tonight."

"This Gongpo is really good at using speed."

Upon hearing the time, Adjutant Zhang let out a "tsk".

The chief chieftain snorted coldly, "An old woman who plays with insects and poisonous creatures all day long is just eager to swallow up my village in one gulp.

Don’t worry about not being able to digest it when you’re old, and don’t eat too much and die.”

Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes. This angry female leader spoke so harshly that the two of them shrank their necks.

Chu Ning heard something else from the words of the chieftain, "Does the chieftain have a way to deal with her?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't look down on that witch so much, oh no, Gongpo.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked down on that Gongpo's behavior.

The fierce expression on the chief chief's face softened, "Please help me..."

【Changsha——Lu Jianxun Office】

Huo Sanniang leaned back elegantly on the sofa, her voice lazily and with a hint of impatience, "What do you two want from me?

I just got home and was invited here."

The implication is: I'm very tired, if you have to fart, please fart quickly!

Huo Sanniang's gaze swept across Chenpi's face beside her, and finally looked directly at Lu Jianxun. Although she was smiling, her eyes were very unfriendly.

Lu Jianxun and Chen Pi were not fools, so they naturally understood Huo Sanniang's subtext.

Lu Jianxun did not express his attitude, but leaned his hands on the table. Chen Pi, however, spoke grimly with a half-smile, "Then we should ask Mr. Huo what he did."

Huo Sanniang glanced at Chenpi calmly, but saw a playful expression on Chenpi's face.

A smile appeared on Huo Sanniang's bright face, which was captivating. Chen Pi wanted to watch the show, but it was impossible!

"Oh? I don't need to report anything to you.

If you suspect that I helped Zhang Qishan and his men leave the city, then show us some concrete evidence.

Ah.

Captain Chen, why don't you talk about the two people who were left at the door of Commander Lu's house~"

"You don't dare to say it, which proves that you have something to hide. So many people were sent out to search for them, but they disappeared right under our noses, four of them.

There must be someone secretly helping behind this!"

Lu Jianxun originally suspected that these two people were working together to deal with him, but now seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, his doubts were dispelled a little.

"Both of you should calm down first. There must be some misunderstanding here." Lu Jianxun put on that fake smile again and acted as a peacemaker.

Hearing what Lu Jianxun said, Huo Sanniang gave Chen Pi a blank look, "Although I am a woman, my Huo family has always been the one that has the final say among the Nine Gates. Commander Lu will not listen to the slander of a villain, right~"

Chen Pi's mouth twitched and he glared at Huo Sanniang sinisterly, but he felt that his attack power was not enough, so he stood up angrily and clenched his fists.

"you!"

Lu Jianxun hurriedly walked out from behind the table and stopped Chenpi.

There was no other way. If he didn't hurry up, he was really afraid that Chenpi would act impulsively, and then it would be a disaster.

"Hey!

We should not fight among our own people. There must be some misunderstanding.

Please, for my sake, calm down.

I naturally believe you two. The Huo family is definitely innocent and has a clear conscience. Since Captain Chen wants to know, there is no harm in talking about it."

Huo Sanniang also put on a fake smile. Lu Jianxun's words were the best example. He didn't offend either side and could hear what she wanted.

But Huo Sanniang was no pushover either. She raised her slender white wrist to tidy up her hair, and a slightly aggrieved look appeared on her face as her eyes moved.

"Of course I have a clear conscience. If anything, I'm not talking to him. I'm doing this for your sake, Commander Lu."

Lu Jianxun responded with a smile.

"Commander Lu should remember that I left the city to recruit experts from the mines.

It's just a pity that my kindness has not been rewarded. I have worked hard to help you find helpers to go down to the mine.

But when I came back, I was accused of such a big crime.”

Huo Sanniang's eyes wandered between Lu Jianxun and Chen Pi.

Seeing Huo Sanniang's suspicious eyes, Lu Jianxun felt more relieved. Although Huo Sanniang's words had loopholes, it was true that she was at odds with Chen Pi. As for what she concealed, it was not a big deal.

You will know if there are any experts when you go down to the mine. Anyway, you are not bleeding.

After Lu Jianxun thought about it and felt that there were no unfavorable factors to him, he comforted Chenpi again.

“That’s indeed the case.

Mr. Huo has thought it through carefully. I think with these experts going down to the tomb, we will have more confidence.

Don’t you think so, Captain Chen?”

This statement shows that he believes in Huo Sanniang, and the hidden meaning is to persuade Chen Pi not to hold on to the matter anymore.

Chen Pi had originally intended to just make a few sarcastic remarks, so he just went along with it, stood up as Lu Jianxun spoke, snorted angrily, and walked out.

If he didn't leave, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to continue pretending. He was not as good at acting as the woman from the Huo family.

Lu Jianxun shouted symbolically, "Captain Chen!

Hey, when will he change his bad temper? Mr. Huo didn't argue with him. I, Mr. Lu, would like to thank you in advance."

When Lu Jianxun lowered his head, Huo Sanniang pulled a face and said, "No need to thank me.

I just ask you two, please don't pin such a serious crime on me again in the future.

I, Sanniang, can’t bear this responsibility~"

The smile on Huo Sanniang's face disappeared at this moment. She stood up, listened to Lu Jianxun's apology, turned around and left. There was nothing she could do. She was too lazy to pretend.

Chen Pi only said two lines today, and she still had to stay and face Lu Jianxun's smiling face. Just thinking about it makes her angry!

【Bai Qiao Village】

The chief chief took out a map and spread it out on the table. The three of them gathered around to watch.

"The Black Qiao Village is just trying to take advantage of the turmoil in our village and sneak into it. If it's just the leader of the Black Qiao Village, Heishi, then there's nothing to be afraid of.

The only thing I am worried about right now is the dark wizard Gongpo, who is very difficult to deal with."

The three of them understood what the chief chieftain said. Someone was needed to hold Gongpo back, and she could handle the rest by herself.

Qi Tiezui and Chu Ning both looked at Adjutant Zhang. He must be more adept at arranging troops and formations. There was nothing they could do about it since they were both related by profession.

After a brief thought, Adjutant Zhang tapped the map, thinking about what was possible.

Thinking about what the chieftain said, an idea came into Adjutant Zhang's mind. He decided to give the chieftain a taste of his own medicine. He needed to find the chieftain and borrow a team of men.

While Hei Qiao was attacking the village, they took a small path to Hei Qiao's village, destroyed their lair, and went straight to Huanglong.

Adjutant Zhang looked at Chu Ning and Qi Tiezui, "Eighth Master, Xiao Ning, you two are responsible for holding back that Gong Po. I will lead the people from Bai Qiao Village through the mountain path to Hei Qiao Village, take advantage of their opportunity and break in, cutting off their retreat.

Then we will kill him by surprise and grab the medicine."

After Adjutant Zhang finished speaking, he asked the Grand Tusi about the feasibility of his idea, and the Grand Tusi nodded.

He looked at Chu Ning and Qi Tiezui with worry, or to be exact, Chu Ning.

"Are you two really capable of trapping that Gongpo?"

Chu Ning smiled and waved his hand, giving the chieftain a small pill, "This is the medicine I made myself, sister, take it, in case of any accidents.

This medicine happens to be effective against some very strong insect poisons."

The chief chief was relieved and put away the pills given by Chu Ning.

She really regarded Chu Ning as her savior, so she asked this question, not wanting Chu Ning to be in danger again for no reason.

Otherwise, that second master would really blame her for the rest of his life...

Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang touched the small medicine bottle in their pockets. They knew that Chu Ning was being modest.

According to Chu Ning, this medicine can bring a person back from the brink of death with one breath, no matter if it is an external or internal injury, or an attack by poison, or even if the person exhales more than inhales.

What made the two of them even more heart-warming was that Chu Ning only gave one big toast, but gave them a bottle!

Today is also a day where I want to show off my kids!
