Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Hei Xiazi's meaning was quite clear; Qin Henian didn't even need to think to know that he had discovered some clue again.

Damn it! Is the Pixiu really that lucky? Why isn't the Qilin working?!

Qin Henian looked resentfully to the other side, to where Zhang Qilin was, who was still scratching his head, searching for his memory!

"it is good!"

He'd risk his life for that scoundrel! Qin Henian did it! After all, they were going to be his life partners in the future. Even though the person was a scoundrel, he had never held him back when it came to important matters.

"Hehe~ Baby, see you in the bedroom tonight~"

Now that Hei Xiazi had gotten the better deal, he naturally started to get cocky. His words were so convoluted and roundabout that they made Zhang Qilin, who had just finished searching a soul, frown.

That blind man is being a jerk again!

Once we get out, I'll go and fight him, pin him to the ground and make him regret it, so he'll know what happens when he provokes me!

As he was thinking, Zhang Qilin moved to Hei Xiazi's side, grabbed Hei Xiazi by the collar with one large hand, and led him out.

Soon after, a series of "bang bang bang" sounds came from outside.

"He Nian, thank you..."

Inside the room, Wu Xie stood there thinking for a long time, finally sighed softly, and came to Qin Henian to speak.

"What are you thanking me for? I didn't do anything. But your second uncle should probably stop interfering in your family's affairs. If things come to a head after this is all over, you'll really be going to jail!"

Qin Henian knew that Wu Xie wanted to thank him for dealing with the Wang family, which was a thorn in the side of the Nine Gates or the Wu family. But to be honest, the difference between a century-old family and a thousand-year-old clan like theirs was simply too great.

Moreover, this matter was originally part of Qin Henian's plan to deal with, so it can only be said that their original contact was just a transaction between Xiaotiandao and Qin Henian. However, as their relationship has grown closer, Qin Henian has become somewhat willing to participate.

"understood!"

Thank you!

Wu Xie didn't say the rest of his thanks aloud, but he believed He Nian understood the meaning in his eyes.

.................................................. .........................................

Night fell, the stars floated among the clouds, a gentle breeze and light rain lingered, and the air was chilly. In the brightly lit hall, at a dining table, Qin Henian sat at the head table, a pickled chicken foot in one hand and a can of cola in the other, his eyes sparkling and his ears perked up.

"After the interrogation in the afternoon, Xiaohua and I went to ask my third uncle about their previous plans. The conclusion we reached was that the opponent we were dealing with was definitely a large organization, and a force that was even more ancient than the Wang Zanghai family."

Wu Xie held a bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right, picking up food as he spoke about the results of his discussion with Xie Yuchen that afternoon, nodding and affirming his judgment.

Chew chew chew～

Chew chew chew～

"Chew...chew...hmm, right! Your analysis is spot on, but none of that matters. The forces behind them have been fighting me for so many years, and both sides...chew...have a tacit understanding...that the final location has always been Mount Li!"

Qin Henian couldn't stop thinking about the bamboo worms that Wang Pangzi had bought from a roadside stall that evening. Later that night, Pangzi fried the bamboo worms while cooking, making them crispy and high in protein. Qin Henian was chewing them with great gusto right now.

"Mount Li? Is that our next destination?"

Xie Yuchen sat down gracefully, put down her chopsticks, and asked with a puzzled expression...

No, that's not it~

Qin Henian shook his head.

"Then why was Mount Li the final destination for both of us?"

Mount Li should be where the First Emperor's Mausoleum is located, right? Xie Yuchen couldn't understand it. Everyone in the underworld knew that the First Emperor's Mausoleum was very dangerous; anyone who went in died. Anyone who had designs on it never left Mount Li. But now Qin Henian said that their final destination was Mount Li. What was the connection? What were the motives of the forces behind the Wang family? And what role did Henian play in all of this?

Raising his hand to rub his temples, Jie Yuchen frowned, unable to understand... Forget it, he should just give up and stop thinking about it.

Anyway, they now have the country as their backing.

"You'll find out when you get to Mount Li, I won't tell you now."

"Next, a lot of people will be transporting more advanced weapons to the villa. Importing them from abroad requires going through customs, and it will take several days to get the approval from the higher authorities. In the next few days, let's study the train tombs in Changsha."

"After all, you Nine Gates people are familiar with that place!"

Instead of directly answering Xie Yuchen's question, Qin Henian threw out the next mission destination.

"The Changsha Train Cemetery? I should know a little about that. My grandfather mentioned it a few times before I became his apprentice."

"Besides, isn't there an old guy at the Crescent Hotel? He's actually been to that place. It's not impossible to have him lead the way again. It just requires a bit of national support."

Xie Yuchen is quick to scheming and plotting, especially now that he knows so much about Zhang Qilin. Everyone has their own judgment, so naturally he no longer has any good feelings towards Zhang Qilin.

Xie Yuchen actually knew a lot about the tomb in Changsha. In addition, his master cried when he was drunk and missed his master's wife. It can be said that among the Nine Gates, he was the most knowledgeable about this tomb except for Zhang Rishan.

However, since there are already people available, and his background is different now, with He Nian's involvement, it's most suitable for someone who has been there before to do this job.

"The Crescent Moon Hotel? Oh right! And isn't Chairman Zhang there too?"

Following Xie Yuchen's line of thought, Qin Henian felt that he didn't need to go to the tomb. He could just let Zhang Rishan lead the team there and then bring the meteorite jade over in a package.

Packing up the meteorite jade requires someone with spatial abilities...

"Hey, could you go and keep an eye on things in Changsha for me?"

Qin Henian finished chewing his food and swallowed it. Then he turned his gaze to the person who had been listening, eating, and acting like a jerk all along.

"Huh? Of course... I'm more than qualified! A blind man like me is perfect for helping my dear wife handle these simple tasks!"

Hei Xiazi originally wanted to refuse outright, but before he could even speak, he was locked onto by a pair of cold eyes from the other side. Upon seeing the seriousness in Zhang Qilin's eyes, he instantly understood what the other person meant.

Hmm... it's because of my own foolish behavior during the day. My wife and I are going back to our room with him later, and since we're alone together, I can't be silent, so he definitely remembered it!

Waaah... It's so hard being blind!
