Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

Chapter 240 Not Belonging to Outsiders

【Dexing Tea House】

Chen Pi had a sullen face as he watched Lu Jianxun enjoying the opera on the stage of the teahouse with rapt attention.

"Hey, do you think they can sing as well as your master?"

Lu Jianxun turned to look at Chenpi, with an obvious threat in his eyes.

He knew that Chenpi was not truly submitting to him, but so what.

Now that Zhang Qishan can no longer cause any trouble, even if Chen Pi does not follow him, he must consider the consequences of betraying him.

Chen Pi snorted coldly, "Commander Lu, there is no need to be so aggressive. I am just a rough man and cannot appreciate these babbling."

“What a pity, what a pity.

This Er Hong did not pass on his job to Captain Chen."

Chen Pi still stood with his arms folded, he knew that Lu Jianxun could not abandon him at this moment, after all, he still needed him and the Huo family to help him go down to the tomb.

Therefore, Chen Pi felt murderous in his heart due to Lu Jianxun's sarcasm, but he did not show it on his face.

After Lu Jianxun finished speaking, he saw his personal guards walking towards him quickly.

"Sir, Jude Kao is looking for you everywhere."

Lu Jianxun did not avoid Chen Pi and asked his personal guard, "What did he say?"

"Congratulations on overthrowing Zhang Qishan and taking control of Changsha City."

Lu Jianxun stared at Chenpi and said, “There must be something earth-shattering under this ancient tomb. I’m afraid Qiu Dekao is afraid that we will go down to the tomb alone.

I wonder what Captain Chen thinks?"

Chen Pi's eyes were filled with viciousness, and he spoke with full contempt, "Oh, this Qiu Dekao is just a foreigner."

Lu Jianxun raised his lips, and then said to his personal soldiers, "Did you hear what Captain Chen said?

After all, Qiu Dekao is an outsider, but he is so concerned about what is happening under the ancient tomb.

There must be another purpose.”

Lu Jianxun said, glaring at his guards, "Remember, no matter what is under this tomb, it will not belong to a foreigner."

Chen Pi stood up after hearing this and said, "Commander Lu really deserves to wear this official uniform."

He left the teahouse without looking back.

Lu Jianxun ignored Chen Pi's sarcasm. He was the most powerful person in Changsha City now.

Tangerine peel is still useful. When the time comes, he will use it sooner or later.

【Zhang Zhai】

Chu Ning slept until dusk again, and the pain in his body seemed to be even worse.

When I went downstairs, I saw Zhang Qishan sitting on the sofa in his home clothes.

Hearing footsteps, Zhang Qishan looked up, saw that the child had woken up, and waved to Chu Ning.

Chu Ning walked slowly to Zhang Qishan.

Zhang Qishan stood up and put one hand on Chu Ning's head, rubbing it gently.

"Suffering."

Looking at the child's still pale face, Zhang Qishan felt guilty. It was because of him that Chu Ning was implicated.

Chu Ning thought about his dream and listened to Zhang Qishan's apologetic words. His emotions surged and he sniffed and shook his head.

"It still didn't help you."

Zhang Qishan chuckled, “You’ve helped me enough, but Lu Jianxun didn’t get any information about the ancient tomb from you.

Besides, there is no need for us to take action now, as someone is already on the way here."

Zhang Qishan took Chu Ning to the dining room. Yin Xinyue walked out of the kitchen and asked someone to bring a small pot of soup to Chu Ning.

"Drink it obediently."

Chu Ning smiled, "Sister Yue!"

Yin Xinyue didn’t fall for Chu Ning’s trick, “No matter how effective it is, the medicine will not stop.

And you! "

After Yin Xinyue gave the child who didn't like to drink medicinal food instructions, she pointed at Zhang Qishan fiercely.

After saying that, he glared at the two of them and turned back to the bedroom.

Chu Ning shrank his neck and looked at Zhang Qishan.

Zhang Qishan touched his nose, and both of them looked confused.

"Master Buddha... have you offended Sister Yue again?"

After a long time, Chu Ning asked in a low voice, why else would Yin Xinyue treat a wounded man like this? Wasn't it because of the Buddha that he was implicated?

"No."

Zhang Qishan is very frugal with words, and I don’t understand why.

Chu Ning stared at the jar of pitch-black soup with some worry, and looked at Zhang Qishan for help.

Zhang Qishan remained unmoved and silently moved another pot of soup on the table in front of him.

Chu Ning immediately understood why Yin Xinyue was angry. It was probably because the Buddha was affected by the meteorite jade and needed to drink medicinal food.

But Zhang Qishan definitely doesn't like to drink those, so Yin Xinyue's attitude is so strong.

Chu Ning figured it out and couldn't help but reveal a resentful look, and ignored Zhang Qishan.

Zhang Qishan watched the child lower his head and drink the soup in small sips, and he felt that the tingling sensation in his head was not so intense.

"Master Buddha, what should we do next? Can we just wait?"

Chu Ning asked, and Zhang Qishan's eyes were dark, "Heal your wounds first."

Chu Ning had no choice but to nod, as if since he was injured this time, Zhang Qishan would not let him know all the arrangements.

Chu Ning knew that this was not a lack of trust, but Zhang Qishan's protection for himself, but this was not good news for Chu Ning.

Time is running out……

In the evening, Chu Ning opened the window, supported his chin with one hand, and looked up at the moon outside the window.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Chu Ning. Looking closely, he found that the person was hanging upside down on the window eaves.

Chu Ning was not startled, but greeted with a smile, "Chenpi~"

Seeing that Chu Ning was not scared by him, Chen Pi made a displeased sound.

Seeing Chu Ning looking unhappy and still opening the window to let in the fresh air, Chen Pi went into the room and closed the window. "I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you trying to kill yourself?"

Chen Pi's words were full of sarcasm, and only Chu Ning could hear the concern hidden in them.

"We've seen it before, in prison."

Chu Ning's eyes were shining. Chen Pi avoided Chu Ning's sight. He couldn't stand the child looking at him with such clear eyes.

"You knew I was coming?"

"I know, according to the date, you should come to see me.

Because I woke up.

There was a familiarity in Chu Ning's words, as if he had known Chenpi for a long time and understood Chenpi very well.

Chen Pi raised his hand and touched Chu Ning's neck, surprised that this delicate area could be covered and grasped by just one hand.

As long as he exerted force, Chu Ning's cervical vertebrae would break. "I don't like people speculating about me."

Chu Ning was not afraid of Chenpi. He moved his neck and said pitifully, "Chenpi~I feel uncomfortable..."

Chenpi quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been scalded, thinking that the child was... acting coquettishly with him?

Chen Pi said viciously, "What are you waiting for me?"

Chu Ning held his chin with both hands, “Lu Jianxun suspects you, but he still needs you and the Huo family.

But Jude Kao would not do that. He was very anxious to go down to the tomb, but Lu Jianxun would definitely not share the information.

Guess who Jude will go to in the end? "

Chu Ning blinked. Since Zhang Qishan didn't tell him about the action, he would find a way to get involved.

Fortunately, Chenpi is not Zhang Qishan and Erhong, and will not over-protect himself.

Chen Pi's eyes flickered, and he spoke slowly, "Master?"

Chu Ning clapped his hands, "Wow~ That's amazing!"

Chen Pi's eyes flashed with murderous intent. This kid, is he treating me like a three-year-old kid? !

Although Chu Ning's body had not recovered, he was still sharp, so he quickly grabbed Chen Pi's sleeve and surrendered.

“Oh, I’m worried about Madam.

You don't want Madam to worry about Second Master and then remind him of his illness, right?"

There was a subtle threat in what Chu Ning said, but Chen Pi really liked it.

"Got it, let go.

Since you saved my master's wife, I will help you again."

Chu Ning curled his lips and told the truth, "You are obviously very willing!

You are really awkward~ Chenpi."

Chenpi said nothing and opened the window. The cold wind rushed in and Chenpi leaned sideways to block the wind.

Before leaving, he pinched Chu Ning's small nose viciously.

Looking at Chu Ning with his watery eyes rubbing his red nose, I felt refreshed.

The figure flashed and disappeared into the night.

Chu Ning looked at the closed window in a daze, raised his hand to push the window open a crack, and took out charcoal and a small medicine jar from under the table.

Chu Ning lowered his eyes and looked at his wrist. There was a scar on his fair wrist. Chu Ning looked at the scar in a daze.

Then she smiled till her eyes turned red...
