Chapter 369 An unexpected miss
Chen Ziyan, whose mind was immersed in the message conveyed by Hu Bayi, did not notice that the two men secretly attacked Chen Cang right under his nose.
Of course, he wouldn't care even if he saw it.
In fact, Chen Ziyan didn't think there was anything to hide. Although the clerks at the Crescent Hotel behind him might not know, Yin Nanfeng and the gentle woman probably knew more than them.
After all, Jiumen is the core of this turmoil, and the connection between Crescent Hotel and Jiumen has always been close, and the information that can be known will definitely not be less than that of "outside forces" like them.
After thinking of this, Chen Ziyan suddenly realized one thing, that is, he still doesn't know the name of the gentle woman until now?
Although this gentle woman is the leader of the slaves at the Crescent Hotel, Chen Ziyan is very sure that this is definitely not the voice that later became Yin Nanfeng's right-hand man.
Not to mention that he looks different from his impression, but the age alone does not match. Although the age of Slow Voice in the future has not been mentioned, he looks like he is definitely the same age as Yin Nanfeng, and this Wen A wan woman must be at least thirty years old.
With the idea of asking when he got back from this trip, Chen Ziyan put the matter aside, but Ding Sitian also kept this favor in mind.
Although they would not have time to return to the capital without the reminder from Ding Sitian's leader, it was still a sincere thought anyway.
Chen Ziyan was very sure about the lack of time.
He knew better than anyone else how much time it would take next.
Even if everything goes well in the snowy area and the plot develops completely according to the sequence in his memory, it will take a long time. And if there are some twists and turns, then this time may even be lost. , so he has no worries that he and others will be involved in the whirlpool in the capital.
Just when Chen Ziyan’s head was full of random thoughts, they had completely entered Zhelong Mountain. The fleet was sailing in the deep and dark waterways, restoring their last route as much as possible, so they quickly passed through The mountain came to the other side of Zhelong Mountain.
However, after arriving at the Shanhou Valley, Chen Ziyan did not go directly into the dense forest like last time. Instead, he chose the route on his return, planning to enter the Insect Valley from the Shepaizi River.
Although the waters in this area are very complicated and the actual speed of travel is slower than that of land, waterways are more convenient whether it is to avoid poisonous things in the forest or to transport exposed objects afterwards.
And practice makes perfect. After two more trips, the speed will definitely improve.
When the fleet was halfway through, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but think of Wang Zanghai's message he saw last night, and asked insinuatingly:
"Old Hu, I remember you said this last time It was a feng shui scheme created by King Xian in order to ascend to immortality. Now that King Xian’s tomb has been touched by us, even the coffin has escaped. So has there been any change in the feng shui situation now? "
Chen Ziyan didn’t. When asked directly, he had no intention of telling the message, at least at this stage, so he chose this roundabout way to ask.
If you ask this question, even if Hu Bayi has doubts, he won't be too entangled in the matter.
As expected, Hu Ba frowned slightly as soon as he heard the words and asked tentatively: "Mr. Chen, did you see something?"
Although Chen Ziyan never showed anything. He has shown too many abilities in Feng Shui, but he has now created a more all-powerful image in everyone's mind, so Hu Bayi has always suspected that he knows the art of Feng Shui.
It is precisely for this reason that after hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Hu Bayi's first reaction was not to deny and question, but to subconsciously feel that Chen Ziyan had discovered something.
"That's not true. I'm just curious about this aspect and thought there might be some changes, so I asked you." Naturally, Chen Ziyan couldn't tell the truth, so he pretended to be calm.
However, these words can also be regarded as his inner thoughts. After all, his starting point is out of curiosity, wanting to see if Hu Bayi will discover anything after his own revelation.
After receiving this answer, Hu Bayi still felt something was wrong, but he still reluctantly accepted it.
He subconsciously looked around, but the view from where they were now was extremely limited, and there were a lot of debris around them, so in the end he could only helplessly shake his head: "I really can't see anything from this. . ”
In fact, Hu Bayi knew very well that his efforts were purely useless.
He has made preliminary inferences based on the information he knows and the stars. Now if he wants to make more accurate calculations, it is estimated that he will not be able to do it without seeing the full shape of the landform in this area.
But he figured that if he wanted to see the whole area clearly, he would have to at least stand at a height where he could overlook it.
The position in front of him is definitely useless. He can't see anything here at all. This is completely beyond his ability.
Chen Ziyan was not too surprised by Hu Bayi's somewhat depressing answer, because it was what he expected.
If it could be seen so easily, then King Xian would not have been kept secret until his death.
Didn’t you see that even an expert like Wang Zanghai only discovered the clues because of sudden changes in the celestial phenomena?
If it hadn't been for this, even this person might not have been able to discover the secret hidden deep in this place in the first place.
"Forget it then, it seems that I have overthought it." Chen Ziyan said lightly, looking like he had lost interest.
"Okay." Hu Bayi nodded silently.
Logically speaking, the matter should have come to an end, but what people didn’t expect was that Wang Kaixuan suddenly said something at this time.
“Should I say it, after Master Chen said this, I also feel that this place is different from the last time we visited, but I still can’t tell what’s wrong.”
Hearing Wang Kaixuan's words, Hu Bayi's heart, which had just dropped, rose again, and his attention also increased.
He originally felt that there was something in Chen Ziyan's words, and he was secretly reminding himself that after all, the environment here was such that it was not impossible to make some omissions.
But when Chen Ziyan said forget it, Hu Bayi had already let go of his doubts, because he knew Chen Ziyan's character and was not the kind of riddler who liked to sell things off.
But things are a little different now.
Compared to Chen Ziyan, Hu Bayi knew Wang Kaixuan better than his close friend who had grown up together since childhood. He knew better than anyone else how unreasonable the fat man's premonition was.
Even in his heart, this guy's premonition can no longer be treated as a premonition, but can be regarded as an early warning. Anyway, he has never seen it fail.
After paying attention again, Hu Bayi once again examined the surrounding environment, but unfortunately there were some things that he could not pay enough attention to. Without sufficient objective conditions to support, he could not see anything wrong at all. place.
After the review was fruitless, Hu Ba began to review the last trip to King Xian’s tomb, especially the bizarre things and objects, intending to find a breakthrough point from this.
He felt that there was no smoke without fire. Whether Chen Ziyan suddenly mentioned this matter or Wang Kaixuan's belated premonition, it showed that there must be a problem somewhere.
It’s just that he can’t find a clue now.
Seeing that Hu Bayi was immersed in his own thoughts, the other two said nothing more.
Except for this small episode in the winding river navigation, the rest of the trip went smoothly.
After arriving at Insect Valley, the group completely replicated the previous route, easily walking from the underground gourd cave to the deep valley where King Xian’s tomb is located.
Of course, being able to do so quickly is also due to the corpse cave cleaning up the entire gourd cave, otherwise their trip would not be so easy.
The process of descending from the entrance of the Calabash Cave to the bottom of the valley is much more laborious than before, but this time not only are the tools more complete, but there are also more people, so the plank road does not cause much hindrance.
Because of the special circumstances at the entrance to King Xian's Tomb, even if there was one experience, the operation was bumpy and bumpy. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
But this also made Chen Ziyan understand that it would be a relatively long process to transport all the artifacts from the tomb. After all, the transportation of naked objects requires proper packaging. A slight break will greatly reduce their value, especially those fragile objects.
Fortunately, Chen Ziyan and the others have plenty of time. After all, they can't finish it in one day, and Shirley Yang and Black Glasses can't complete their tasks so quickly, so everyone is very excited. Do things patiently.
Of course, as the commander-in-chief of the team, Chen Ziyan would not do it himself. He would sit in a temporary camp on the shore during the entire process.
Hu Bayi stayed in the tomb, but his purpose was to find the murals inside. Although he never mentioned it again, he was always thinking about what happened on the road, so he wanted to find the missed murals in the tomb. , see if you can find any clues from it.
Wang Kaixuan, on the other hand, could be said to have put all his thoughts on the bright weapon. He went directly into the tomb and became a supervisor, looking like a fat supervisor.
For his dedicated behavior, Chen Ziyan not only agreed but also highly praised him. After all, they had to send someone to keep an eye on him.
Although the artifacts in this tomb are not too small and difficult to do anything with, attitude is still indispensable sometimes.
In this way, the group stayed in this deep valley for three days. After plundering the entire tomb of King Xian, they returned home with a full load of harvest.
When transporting the artifact up, Chen Ziyan thought at first that he had to move it up bit by bit.
But he didn’t expect that the Crescent Hotel had more experience than he imagined. He directly built a wheel axle at the entrance of the gourd cave and pulled the packaged Mingqi up from the bottom of the valley.
What surprised Chen Ziyan the most was not this method, but the delicate technique of the operator. Even at such a high distance, not a single exposed weapon hit the mountain wall next to him. It was so skillful that it was breathtaking. .
After returning to Caiyun Inn, Chen Ziyan first inquired about the situation of Shirley Yang and Black Glasses, but neither of them sent back any news.
But this is nothing to Chen Ziyan, and he even thinks that no news is the best news.
After all, whether it was Shirley Yang's power in the United States or Black Glasses' business level, Chen Ziyan was not worried at all.
There is no need to say more about Shirley Yang. The original plot proves that it is impossible for her to fail, and the same is probably true for Black Glasses. With this guy’s ability, there is basically no possibility of failure. The difference is nothing more than that. It’s just the length of time.
But what Chen Ziyan didn't expect was that in the afternoon of that day, while he was lying on the rocking chair watching the counting work, he suddenly received the news from the black glasses through the Crescent Hotel.
I lost my black glasses!
"Did you lose your black glasses?" Chen Ziyan raised his head and looked at the slow notification voice with some disbelief.
Yes, the sound is slow.
Chen Ziyan miscalculated again.
After he came back, he took the opportunity to ask, and found out that the gentle woman who accompanied Yin Nanfeng was also called Sheng Sheng Man.
After a little inquiry, I found out that not only the leader of the slaves at the Crescent Hotel in front of me was called Sheng Shengman, but also the previous one and the next one had the same name.
Slow voice is not exclusive to a certain person, but like a kind of inheritance, it is a title that uniquely belongs to the head slave of the Crescent Hotel.
In fact, Chen Ziyan was not the only one who was surprised, but Sheng Shenghuan was also surprised. Although their Crescent Hotel had its own staff and had never hired black glasses, they knew more about this guy than just knowing him.
After all, this is the same person as their old monster. He became active decades ago, so they cannot help but ignore him.
As the saying goes, old people become monsters.
For people like Black Glasses, it is never a bad thing to pay more attention when nothing happens, so he knows a lot of things more or less.
It was precisely because she understood the ability of black glasses that she was surprised when she learned that this guy had made a mistake.
Then we are curious about the reasons for things.
Otherwise, why would she come to notify Chen Ziyan in person? It was just to satisfy her curiosity.
Well, so is Yin Nanfeng next to him.
I don’t know what this girl looks like in front of others, but in front of Chen Ziyan, she is just a little arrogant. Now she is standing quietly next to Sheng Shengman, pricking her ears and waiting for the answer she wants.
However, his eyes were not idle either. He was secretly observing the little green-scaled python that was squirming on Chen Ziyan's wrist, looking very interested.
This is understandable. Now this little guy is wearing a layer of armor. If you don't look carefully, it looks like a metal snake. It is indeed very eye-catching.
"That's right." He nodded slowly and affirmatively.
"That's it." Chen Ziyan kneaded his brows and slowly stood up from the chair: "Did you tell me what exactly happened?"
Don't mention anyone else, now he He was also quite curious. He had already told Black Glasses about Lei Xian's obvious weakness, so how could this guy still miss?
It is said that others underestimate the enemy and are careless about Thaksin, but despite the black glasses, this guy is not usually very smart, but when doing things, the lion always fights the rabbit, so this can be eliminated immediately.
Now Chen Ziyan couldn't make any judgment on this matter, so he planned to understand the specific situation first.
"Master Hei didn't say anything." Sheng Sheng slowly shook his head, and then said: "But Master Hei left his contact information there. If Master Chen wants to know, you can communicate with him directly. ."
"Okay, give me your contact information." Chen Ziyan didn't say much.
It seems that Black Glasses just asked them to pass on a message, without saying much.
After receiving the contact information provided by Sheng Shengman, Chen Ziyan saw that the segment number on it was exclusive to satellite communications, and immediately took out his satellite phone and dialed it.
This saved him a lot of trouble. He thought he would need to go to the provincial capital for this.
After a brief busy signal, a voice with black glasses came from the receiver: "Mr. Chen?"
"It's me. I heard that our Mr. Hei made a mistake?" Chen Ziyan said slightly teasingly said.
"Hey, didn't I fully investigate the other party's details? I was a bit careless." Black Glasses said in a relaxed tone after hearing Chen Ziyan's voice.
You can tell from this tone that this defeat has no impact on him at all, at least not mentally.
But it's normal to think about it. This guy is acting like a gamer now. Let alone such a trivial matter, no matter how big a blow it is, it may be nothing to Black Glasses.
Chen Ziyan actually doubts whether this guy's current standards for accepting jobs require him to be interested first.
But he had no evidence, so he never mentioned it.
