Chapter 362 The next road
“Things on our side will not be affected.”
This sentence was not said by Yin Nanfeng, but by Wen who had been quietly by her side. What the gentle woman said.
From her confident tone, Chen Ziyan heard something different. If nothing else, this person seemed to know more about the inside story.
But he didn't rush to ask, he just nodded: "That's good."
This is just the first time for both parties to cooperate, but so far, real cooperation has not yet begun. It is better not to ask about some secret things than to ask.
"I wonder how Mr. Chen gained from this trip?" Seeing that Chen Ziyan did not ask any more questions, the gentle woman suddenly asked after her eyes flickered for a few times.
Logically speaking, this problem is normal. The current bond between the two parties is interests, and the Crescent Hotel has been busy for this operation and has spent a lot of manpower and material resources. Now I want to ask about the details. There is nothing wrong with the situation.
But Chen Ziyan is someone who knows the specific reasons for the turmoil in Jiumen. He knows very well that although the Crescent Hotel is not at the core of this turmoil, it is impossible to escape unscathed because of its close connection with Jiumen. thing.
Because of this, Chen Ziyan knew in his heart that even with the energy of the Crescent Hotel, he would not be able to sell the artifacts unearthed from the tomb of King Xian in the short term.
A big tree attracts the wind is not as simple as talking about it. Anyone with some knowledge at this time knows that if you do more, you will make more mistakes. As the manager of the Crescent Hotel, the gentle woman in front of you naturally understands this truth.
And according to the size of the Crescent Hotel, although this kind of thing deserves attention, it should not be asked now. After all, as long as the things inside are shipped out, they will probably know about the tomb earlier than Chen Ziyan and the others. The specific value of the Mingqi.
Such a hasty inquiry was somewhat degrading considering the identity of the person in front of him, so although it was logically reasonable, Chen Ziyan still smelled something unusual.
"This trip has been quite fruitful, at least I won't disappoint you." While answering this on the surface, Chen Ziyan was thinking about why this woman was so eager to ask about the harvest. reason.
When his eyes passed over Yin Nanfeng, an idea appeared in his mind.
Is it possible that the artifacts obtained from the king's tomb this time will not be transported back to the headquarters of the Crescent Hotel in the capital, but will be sold through nearby channels, and the money will be directly used as part of Yin Nanfeng's successor's heritage.
Or to put it more accurately, all the gains from the Crescent Hotel this time are likely to become one of Yin Nanfeng's fallback options.
Even Chen Ziyan couldn't help but be shocked when he thought of this possibility.
Although he knew that the trouble caused by the Jiumen Jie family this time was big, but because he knew that the Jiumen did not disappear this time, and even the Jie family still survived, he subconsciously thought that the matter was not that serious. .
But now judging from the decision-making of Crescent Hotel, perhaps the real development of the situation is far more serious than what I imagined.
Otherwise, why would the Crescent Hotel take advantage of this incident to directly send the heir to a province near the border like Yunnan, and also have a tendency to deal with all the gains from this trip on the spot? This all shows that even if Even a force like the Crescent Hotel that has been around for decades has no confidence that it can survive this turmoil smoothly.
After thinking about this, Chen Ziyan finally understood why the Huo family showed that attitude last time. It seemed that he had underestimated 'it' that would be completely eliminated in the future!
"Master Chen, if that's the case, why don't we go into the mountains to retrieve the treasure the day after tomorrow?" The gentle woman didn't know that so many thoughts flashed through Chen Ziyan's mind at this moment. She considered that Chen Ziyan and his party had just After coming out of the mountain, I deliberately set aside a day's rest, planning to go into the mountain the day after tomorrow to transport the artifacts from the tomb.
Just as Chen Ziyan guessed, the reason why she is so eager to get the harvest of her trip is that the situation facing the Crescent Hotel is not easy, even with the help of Lord Buddha.
But now Buddha Buddha does not have much to do with the Crescent Hotel. In addition, this incident is a breakthrough in a sense, so even Zhang Da Buddha is inconvenient. They interfered too much, so they must take advantage of the Crescent Hotel's strength to realize all the gains they made this time before its strength declined.
Although King Xian is just a foreign prince from a small border country, he is still the tomb of a prince after all. Even if the final gain is not ideal, it is still unimaginable wealth for ordinary people in a lifetime.
This is also why the Crescent Hotel decided to use the gains this time to fill the backend for Yin Nanfeng. It is not just because of the special geographical location here.
"The day after tomorrow..." Chen Ziyan pondered slightly when he heard the words, and then shook his head slightly: "The day after tomorrow will be a bit late, wait until early tomorrow morning to set off into the mountains."
He predicted in his heart After some estimation, the rain in Chonggu Valley stopped yesterday, but the deep valley where King Xian's Tomb is located should have been filled with water. It will subside by 80% tomorrow, and it will be just in time to go in.
"Then listen to Mr. Chen, we will set off early tomorrow morning." Naturally, the gentle woman would not refuse. If she hadn't considered that Chen Ziyan and others needed to rest, she would have just proposed tomorrow.
Now that Chen Ziyan has taken the initiative to propose it, she will naturally not refuse it. She wants it as much as she wants!
"Okay!" Chen Ziyan nodded lightly, which was considered an agreement.
Now that the business has been finished, there is no reason for everyone to get together again and just leave each other.
However, Chen Ziyan and the others did not rush back to their rooms after they dispersed. Instead, they all ran to Chen Ziyan's room.
"Mr. Chen, what's going on in the capital?" Hu Bayi asked Chen Yulou after entering the door.
Although there was not much mention of this aspect in the conversation just now, just by listening to those few words, one could tell that something big must have happened in the capital.
Chen Yulou sat on Chen Ziyan's bed and said in a deep voice: "I don't know the specific situation. After all, it is too far away. My brother's forces are all in the south, and he also provides There is not much effective information, but what we can know is that there must be a big problem in the capital at this time. I have asked Xiao Jin to find a way to collect information. I think there will be a letter in the next two days. "
This is one of the reasons why he asked Da Jinya to go back. In any case, the capital is Chen Ziyan’s foundation. If they all live in this corner, the safety issue will be guaranteed, but the intelligence aspect will be different from the deafness. What's the difference between blind people?
It should be noted that danger also means opportunity. This matter is not directly related to them. Maybe they can seize the opportunity to seize the opportunity and completely occupy a place in the capital.
"I want to contact the bureau and report the matter of the meteorite in the valley, and see if I can get some information." After listening to Chen Yulou's words, Ding Sitian hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said.
Although Chen Yulou said that Da Jinya's side would have passed through the intelligence, they do not have an intelligence department of their own, and Da Jinya's usual sources of information are people from three religions and nine schools. There may be scraps from this way, but useful intelligence cannot be expected at all. So I wanted to use the pretext of reporting to my superiors to inquire about it from my old leader.
Ding Sitian is not boasting, as the official secret department is one of the best, but few things can be hidden from her old boss. "That's great. Xiao Ding, you are really timely!" When Wang Kaixuan heard what she said, he immediately became happy.
Although he didn't know the twists and turns, he knew one thing, that is, Ding Sitian's intelligence was more reliable than that of the big thief from the Golden Tooth.
Hu Bayi was a little worried, but he just glanced at Ding Sitian and said nothing.
After all, he had been a company commander and knew the importance of intelligence, so he couldn't say anything to stop it at this time.
Chen Ziyan knew very well that Ding Sitian's doing this might bring information to them, but it would not be of any benefit to herself, so she said:
"Sister Sitian, just make some insinuations. There is no need to be too pushy. "
But he is not too worried, because the information reported by Ding Sitian this time is enough. Those meteorites are genuine strategic resources, and it is nothing to inquire about the information.
"I understand." Ding Sitian nodded lightly when she heard the words.
Then Chen Ziyan glanced around, turned his palm, and took out the sealed bag containing the king's head: "The Muchen Bead should be in here. The next thing we have to do is to remove the Muchen Bead from the inside. After peeling it off, the second thing is to find a way to figure out how to use this thing. "
Compared with the nine gates in the capital, this is the most important thing in front of them.
Even with the cover of the sealed bag, the moment the jade head appeared, an extremely strong rancid smell still came out.
However, the people present seemed not to have noticed it, and they all looked at the jade head with burning eyes.
Isn't this why they ventured into King Xian's tomb and went through hardships along the way.
Wang Kaixuan looked at it for a while and suddenly frowned: "Let's not talk about how to use it, but how to take this thing out from inside. Now the head is as hard as a rock. You can't just smash it with a hammer. ?”
The first thing he thought of was to take the most direct physical method, but as soon as he thought about it, he denied it. What if the Muchen Bead inside was also knocked out? Broken, then wouldn’t their work have been in vain?
And more importantly, no one has ever heard of a second Muchen Bead, which means there is no chance for trial and error.
"This stupid method is not advisable." Hu Bayi said immediately, then looked at Chen Ziyan and asked: "Mr. Chen, what do you think we should do?"
He just said After some secret observation, I found that apart from Chen Yulou, who always had that profound smile on his face, only Chen Ziyan was the calmest, so I wanted to ask him if he had already taken out the Muchen Bead.
Chen Ziyan didn't expect Hu Bayi to suddenly ask him, but he did know what to do. After hearing this, he looked at Shirley Yang, who was staring at Yuhua's head and frowning silently: "This matter has to be done by our Miss Yang. Do it.”
“Me?” Shirley Yang was thinking about what to do, but she didn’t expect Chen Ziyan to say this.
If she had her way, she would have said it already!
Chen Ziyan knew what she was thinking now, so he said directly: "The Muchen Bead has been in King Xian's head for thousands of years. It has probably grown together a long time ago. He wants to take it out without any damage. The best way to come out is to rely on scientific instruments. The ones we usually come into contact with are not precise enough, but Shirley, you should have a way to contact laboratories with high-precision facilities.”
This is in the original plot. Shirley Yang's method, he now directly adopts a wave of borrowingism.
In fact, in Chen Ziyan's inheritance, it is not that there are no applicable methods. For example, he knows a unique liquid that can dissolve jade, which is the secret method of alchemy in ancient times.
But this method can be used, but the problem is that no one knows whether the Muchen Bead will also be melted away.
So it is undoubtedly safer to proceed according to the known plot. Anyway, Shirley Yang has the ability to do this, so why should they create extraneous matters.
"I can indeed contact such a laboratory..." Shirley Yang nodded lightly when she heard this. She had never thought of the method Chen Ziyan said before, but now that she thought about it, it was indeed feasible.
This kind of laboratory is difficult for others to access, but her family is a Wall Street tycoon. Except for those extremely confidential official laboratories in the United States, it is not difficult to access other laboratories.
Moreover, she felt it was necessary to analyze the composition of the Muchen Bead. If it could be copied, it would increase the chance of trial and error when the curse was lifted.
"The rest is to figure out how to use the Muchen Bead." Seeing that the matter was settled like this, Hu Ba brought up the second problem.
Although this problem is not traceable, it is not easy to solve. There is too little information about the existence of Muchen Bead, and the useful part of it is almost zero.
"Snowy land, Kunlun Mountain." But after Hu Bayi finished speaking, he heard Chen Ziyan spit out these two words.
Chen Ziyan not only knew where to go next, he even knew how to lift the curse.
Now the incident of Jiumen has given Chen Ziyan a reminder. He feels that he can no longer continue on the original route. Some unnecessary steps can be omitted, so as to free up more energy to deal with those unknown things.
So after Hu Bayi finished speaking, he directly gave the place to go next.
Hearing Chen Ziyan say these two place names, everyone present looked at him. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chen Ziyan didn't care and continued to talk to himself:
"Remember the mural we saw in the tomb of King Xian? I think the ancient city on the top of the mountain in the lake view should be where we go next. Even if the curse cannot be lifted there, it must be There are records about Muchen Beads, so it is very likely that there are ways to use Muchen Beads."
However, in order to prevent unnecessary suspicion, Chen Ziyan did not go too far. In fact, he only needs to start now. That's enough.
Many things in King Xian's tomb point to the Tibetan region as the source of everything. Even if he didn't bring it up, others would think of it sooner or later.
