Chapter 257: Still Need to Learn More
What the hell? A true fan?
"A loyal fan?"
Qin Yuchen's disgust was almost beyond words. He looked at Xiao Zhao, whose face was red with nervousness, and asked again uncertainly,
"Yes, this kid really likes to hear about your deeds. Not only does he like to listen, he also likes to tell us." Boss Qian explained,
"For example, you can come and go freely in the tomb every time, escape unscathed, and always suppress those who think they are smart. And..."
"Where are we going this time?" The people around him were already laughing. Qin Yuchen clenched his fists and controlled his temper, interrupting Boss Qian who was about to give a long speech.
"..." Boss Qian looked at Qin Yuchen's suddenly cold tone and realized that he had said too much. He quickly let go of Xiao Zhao and took the two of them to a cool area on the side.
The shaded area is a frame for vines to climb on. The frame is woven from bamboo. There is a low table under the vines and cushions on both sides.
Qin Yuchen and Zhang Qiling sat cross-legged on one side, watching Boss Qian sit on the other side. He took out a map and spread it on the low table. He pointed to a black area on the map, which was also specially marked with a red marker.
"At first we heard some rumors on the underworld, but those people on the underworld are always tight-lipped about things like tombs.
Finally, after Peng Zi's persistent investigation, he was able to find out the approximate location."
Boss Qian pointed at the tall farmer next to him, and Pengzi took the initiative to speak:
“The information we got from the road led us all the way to this village. I was making inquiries in the village a few days ago.
I heard from the locals that this place on the map used to be a forest, but for some unknown reason, a big hole suddenly appeared.
The entrance to the cave was filled with tangled branches and weeds, so you couldn't tell how deep it was."
“Xiao Zhao and I went to that place and saw that the soil there was no different from other places, and there was no renovated soil.
The trees growing at the entrance of the cave are all very old. If they suddenly appeared, it was either because the place collapsed or they were hit by something. It is impossible to say that the soil and trees have not changed.
So I'm more inclined to believe that this place has always existed.
It may have been affected by some magnetic field, which made the locals think it appeared suddenly."
"Has anyone of you been down there?" Qin Yuchen took the teacup brought by Wang Kan and placed it in front of Zhang Qiling.
"Uh..." Peng Zi glanced at Boss Qian.
"Of course there is." Boss Qian received the gaze and coughed lightly.
"But they are not our people..."
“Before we came, there were actually people who were more informed than us who had come here, but no one came up.
If someone had already cleared this place out, the rumor on the street would have changed from "this place is dangerous" to "I found some treasure here," and there wouldn't be so many people looking for news here. "Boss Qian said,
"On the day we arrived, we happened to run into another group of foreigners, and the leader was a woman."
"I followed their movements yesterday and they had already gone down." Another man, whom people called Chengzi,
"I pulled their ropes, which started at ten meters."
Qin Yuchen raised his eyebrows, a familiar figure appeared in his mind, and he glanced at Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Qiling curled his lips slightly, obviously thinking of someone familiar.
"Is this all the information you have?" Qin Yuchen asked after seeing that they had nothing to say.
"Hahaha, how is this possible?" Boss Qian laughed.
"If that's all the information, who would risk their lives to come all this way? It must be someone big."
Boss Qian looked around, then leaned over and said in a low voice that only the three of them could hear,
"According to the information we have inquired, there is a high possibility that there is an imperial tomb underneath."
"Heh." Qin Yuchen laughed, "How sure are you?"
"This." Boss Qian made a seven with his left hand.
"Hehe, what do you think, Mr. Qin? This news is quite tempting, isn't it?"
Qin Yuchen raised his eyebrows and curled his lips in a smile.
"With such a high probability of finding the seventh floor, we brothers have to go down there no matter what, right? Even if it's not the real emperor, it's still enough for us to make a fortune if it's some royal relative.
If we can really find it, you can pick whatever you like, plus the 20 million I gave you, it's worth it."
Seeing that Qin Yuchen wasn't very interested, Boss Qian was afraid that he might change his mind at the last minute, so he quickly took the initiative to increase the stakes, "How about a trip?"
Qin Yuchen stepped back a little and saw the calculation in Boss Qian's eyes at a glance.
It is true that he can choose whatever he wants, and it is also true that he is generous with the money he gives.
But the thought of how much you can take is hidden in the depths of your eyes.
Qin Yuchen nodded and smiled: "Okay."
"Great!" Boss Qian also sat up straight, raised his teacup and said, "Then I will use this tea instead of wine. I rely on Mr. Qin's help!"
Qin Yuchen picked up the teacup and perfunctorily touched Boss Qian's cup, then put it back on the table without drinking a sip.
"Come back to me after you've confirmed the time to go." Qin Yuchen patted Zhang Qiling's shoulder, stood up and said to Boss Qian.
After saying that, he and Zhang Qiling left the yard first.
Boss Qian nodded in agreement and watched them leave.
"It's really tiring to deal with such people." Boss Qian's eyes fell on the cup of tea that Qin Yuchen had not even drunk a sip of, and he shook his head with a sigh.
He made his fortune by robbing tombs. Although he was not as good as those tomb-robbing masters, he was still a well-known figure in the underworld.
Wherever I go, I'm always being pampered and served. But in front of this kind of person, it's nothing.
Qin Yuchen and his friend didn't show much change in expression throughout the whole process.
When most people hear the words "imperial mausoleum", even if they are good at controlling their expressions, there will be some slight changes on their faces.
But this person just simply asked how sure he was, and didn't seem interested at all!
You still have to learn more.
"How was it? Are you happy to see your idol?" Boss Qian took out a cigar, played with it in his hand, and asked Xiao Zhao.
"..." The sudden question made Xiao Zhao embarrassed for a moment. He scratched his head in embarrassment, then shook his head firmly to indicate that it was okay.
“Some things and some people are only suitable to live in stories.”
Boss Qian: “…”
The other seven people: "..."
Qin Yuchen and Zhang Qiling returned to the B&B and rested in the room for a while.
When going downstairs to have lunch, Qin Yuchen received a message from Wang Kan, telling him the departure time.
"Let's leave at six tomorrow morning." Qin Yuchen ordered the dishes and told Zhang Qiling the time.
"Okay." Zhang Qiling handed the chopsticks to Qin Yuchen.
The two did not discuss their thoughts on the news they had just heard, so they waited quietly for the dishes to be served.
There were still a few tables of people in the restaurant during lunch time. They arrived late, so by the time their dishes were served, two tables of people had already left.
The two of them finished their meal quickly, and when the fourth table of guests left, they also got up and left back to their room.
