Chapter 3 The Leak-picking King
"Because..."
Achai slowly approached, the sharp dagger in his hand already pressed against Wen Wan's throat.
The cold light reflected from the dagger fell into Wen Wan's eyes, making her turn pale with fright.
"Because these bandits don't deserve to know the existence of this tomb!"
What happened next was completely beyond Wen Wan's expectations.
After Achai finished these words, the young men in the corner stood up at the same time, holding weapons such as daggers and daggers in their hands.
Achai ordered while controlling Wen Wan.
"Send a signal and let the brothers attack in, and work together to wipe out this bandit's den in one fell swoop!"
Well, Wen Wan heard something from this order.
This young man named Achai, should he represent the government?
Judging by his actions, he came in as an undercover agent to suppress bandits?
When they were taken into the mountains as meat tickets, the official army should be following behind and ready to take action at any time?
Wen Wan regrets it so much. If she had known this was the case, she would have waited to be rescued by the authorities. Why would she have to volunteer to make suggestions and get herself into trouble?
"Uh...brother, I was just kidding when I said there was an ancient tomb under the temple. I am a first-class good citizen. It's wrong of me to be joking, but it's not a crime that leads to death. Are you right...?"
< br>
Wen Wan's attempt to forcibly clear her name was stifled by Achai's half-smiling eyes.
“It’s a joke or not, you’ll know when you dig it up, you’re right... right?”
How bad is this person's character?
Actually mocking her by imitating her words?
Such a person should be sentenced to prison without a wife!
The official action was indeed extraordinary.
Just listening to the clanging outside the house, the battle ended within half a cup of tea. The result was obvious. The official team won with an absolute advantage.
Achai stood on the steps with Wen Wan in his arms, listening to his subordinates report on the cleanup of bandits.
"There were seventy-three bandits in total, forty-six were killed on the spot and twenty-seven were captured alive."
In this short time, dozens of people were killed?
Although these bandits deserved their death, human lives in this era are indeed worthless.
Wen Wan shrank her neck subconsciously.
I heard Achai give another order, "Send ten people to dispose of the body, twenty people to escort the gangsters back to the city for trial, and the other five people to deliver the meat tickets down the mountain."
Everyone took the order and started taking action in an orderly manner.
After the bandits and the meat ticket left, Achai organized people to start digging at the location pointed out by Wen Wan.
Wen Wan watched helplessly as the other meat tickets were helped onto the carriage and completely out of danger, feeling a wave of regret in her heart.
"Brother... I am also a meat ticket. I think I am also qualified to take a carriage home..."
Achai glanced at her and said, "Oh, if there is no ancient tomb down there, let alone the carriage, I will ride my horse home for you!"
"You don't have to be so polite," she stiffened her mouth and asked, "What if there is an ancient tomb?"
Achai's light gray pupils darkened, "If so...you just said you wanted to help me make a fortune? Then you have to help me dig up all the treasures, right...right?"
Wen Wan: "..."
To make you rich is to make you look good!
Who knew you were the spider spirit in Pansi Cave, wearing a beautiful coat just to lure prey?
The word "sex" has a knife on my head. The ancients sincerely did not deceive me!
Not long after, a young man carrying a hoe strode over happily.
"Boss, we found it! Sure enough, there is an ancient tomb!" Wen Wan was heartbroken and was escorted back to the wing.
Seven or eight young men knocked open the heavy stone slab, revealing an underground tomb of several square meters.
Achai's eyes were sharp. When he lowered his head to look at Wen Wan, the cold light shining on her was even colder than the dagger.
"It's really the ear room of the ancient tomb! You are quite capable."
She wanted to say it was luck, but this obvious perfunctory statement would definitely not fool this person.
Wen Wan pinched two fingers and gestured, "Uh... I know a little bit about this secret skill passed down from my family."
Achai was noncommittal and pushed Wenwan down to the ear room of the ancient tomb, "You said there are many traps here, let's go, you lead the way."
Wen Wan: "..."
With the dagger on her neck, she had no choice but to eat the bitter fruit she had sown with tears in her eyes.
She sighed and babbled as she walked, "Brother, money and external possessions, especially those dug out from these tombs, are spiritual and are not good things. If they can be handed over to the country, it will have no impact if the country has the blessing." , but in private..."
"Do you always talk so much nonsense?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Achai suddenly interrupted.
Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth and started talking nonsense.
"Brother, I'm just worried about you because you are so tough and unlucky."
He imitates her and speaks yin and yang to her, why can't she give him some trouble?
She was talking nonsense seriously, and Achai glanced at her, half-smiling.
"If I were you, knowing that there are many traps inside and that we need to rescue you if you are in danger, I wouldn't be so quick to talk."
That makes perfect sense!
"..." Wen Wan reacted very quickly. She gave in when it was time to give in, and put on a flattering expression, "Brother, I was wrong!"
"Haha," Achai snorted coldly and said mockingly: "Look at your potential."
Wen Wan did not blush at all, "I am just a concubine. No matter how promising I am, I am just a decent lady. Compared with my potential, of course my life is at stake."
While the two were talking, Wen Wan had already opened the mechanism of the main tomb chamber.
As soon as the stone door opened, the room was filled with gold and silver treasures that dazzled everyone's eyes.
The young people following behind let out bursts of exclamations. Although Achai didn't yell, his eyes were still shining.
"The treasures are all here. Have I completed the task obediently?" Wen Wan asked softly.
Achai didn't respond. He first arranged for the people behind to carry the treasure, then bent down and picked up a jade pendant from the ground next to the coffin.
He threw the jade pendant into Wen Wan's arms.
"Take it, let's count it as your reward for leading the way."
After he finished speaking, he put down the dagger.
Wen Wan held the jade pendant and was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant.
In the tomb-digging industry, there is a rule that you should not enter an empty tomb. It is considered unlucky to enter an ancient tomb empty-handed.
Achai looks young and has a lot of experience.
"Okay, if you are a good citizen, I will not make things difficult for you. After a while, after the things are moved, you can follow us down the mountain."
Wen Wan realized later, but was it true that his previous threats were just to scare her?
I didn't expect that this young border general would still have this city.
But...
What a pity, I just don’t know the stuff!
Wen Wan quietly stuffed the jade pendant into her arms, pretending not to care, but in fact she was already happy in her heart.
If this young general knew how priceless the jade pendant he just threw over was, he would probably regret it in his gut.
