Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

[Deployment of the official residence-study]

Zhang Qishan didn't even raise his head, and asked Adjutant Zhang while correcting the backlog of documents.

"Have you seen him? How about it?

What is he doing? "

Adjutant Zhang looked at Zhang Qishan's paused pen tip and sighed inwardly.

Why did Buddha become so hidden in his concern for Chu Ning?

"I've seen it, Xiao Ning is in good spirits, but he asked me..."

"What? Since when did you start hesitating to speak?"

Zhang Qishan put down the pen and stared at Adjutant Zhang intently.

Adjutant Zhang straightened his back and met Zhang Qishan's gaze, "Xiao Ning asked me: 'Does Buddha think he is useless?'"

When Zhang Qishan heard this at first, he felt as if his heart was being pressed hard by a huge boulder, making him unable to breathe.

He just repeated dully, "What?"

Adjutant Zhang's standing figure suddenly felt a little weak, "Lord Buddha, Xiao Ning said, do you think he is useless.

I said Buddha would not think so.

Xiao Ning seems to have always...pleased us..."

Adjutant Zhang clenched his fists, his heart sank, and he blurted out the words he had been storing for a long time in a loud voice.

As soon as the words came out, there was a hint of questioning. Adjutant Zhang did not regret it. He cared about Xiao Ning and even more about Buddha.

Knowing that Zhang Qishan was at a loss and confused in recent days, Adjutant Zhang decided to make his words clear.

And this, it is most appropriate for him, the closest lieutenant around Buddha, to speak.

Zhang Qishan, who was sitting on the chair, was a little dizzy, and Chu Ning's face flashed before his eyes over and over again.

"Lord Buddha, I can protect you~"

"Lord Buddha~Look at Lord Eight!"

"Lord Buddha, I am not a child~"

"Huh? Lord Buddha, you are so awesome!"

"Lord Buddha, come and see, I must be awesome..."

…………

The sound of "Buddha" was accompanied by Chu Ning's smiling face again and again.

Zhang Qishan seemed to be able to see Chu Ning curled up in a ball, her innocent eyes red, her head raised like a puppy abandoned on the street.

"Lord Buddha, do you think I'm useless?"

In a daze, Zhang Qishan heard the trembling and aggrieved voice of a child.

"No, how could it be?!"

I...I want to save you before it's too late, so why do I think you are useless...

These words, Zhang Qishan had no choice but to press them in his heart like a huge stone.

"I'm going to see Xiao Ning early tomorrow morning.

Adjutant, please rest early. "

Zhang Qishan came to his senses and gave orders to Adjutant Zhang.

Adjutant Zhang did not hear Zhang Qishan's answer and had no choice but to retreat.

Just when Adjutant Zhang was about to step out of the study door, Zhang Qishan called out with a tired hoarse voice.

"Xiao Ning, if I can't protect you, please pay more attention to me.

Now it's us who owe him. "

What was owed? Of course, it was the maintenance of the tomb and the fact that Chu Ning single-handedly took out the important meteor jade and saved everyone else.

If you think about it carefully, this kid has been trying hard to implement the protection he mentioned.

Zhang Qishan leaned his head on the back of the chair, raised his hand to rub his eyebrows, and a sigh escaped from his lips and teeth.

Adjutant Zhang perked up. If Lord Buddha said this, he truly regarded Chu Ning as one of his own.

"Yes, Lord Buddha!"

Adjutant Zhang solemnly agreed, and he knew that Lord Buddha was a man of great love and justice!

[Hongfu-guest room]

Chu Ning was persuaded by the maid, and finally had to return the quilt she was holding to the bed.

Chu Ning herself huddled at the foot of the bed and fell asleep little by little.

The moon was high in the sky, Chu Ning was sleeping in a daze, and she felt something noise beside the bed.

Opening his eyes drowsily, he saw a dark shadow beside the bed, and a cold light pierced Chu Ning's eyes.

The shadow seemed to have been here for a long time, and there was no reason to worry about exposing its whereabouts.

After confirming the position of the person on the bed, although he was confused about Chu Ning's strange sleeping habits, there was no aura on the surface.

Chu Ning released his spiritual awareness, the black shadow moved, stepped onto the bed, and covered Chu Ning's mouth with one hand.

In the darkness, a stern voice with a lowered voice reached Chu Ning's ears.

"Hush! It's me."

Chu Ning blinked, I know~

Helplessly covering his mouth, he could only shake his head to show that he knew and would not make a sound.

Chen Pi stared at the person in front of him, his eyes still shining even in the dark night, and the expression on his gloomy face gradually softened.

Chen Pi arrived half the time to burn the incense. Relying on his familiarity with the Hong Mansion over the years, he sneaked into Chu Ning's house without alerting anyone.

Chu Ning raised a hand and grabbed Chen Pi's wrist, shaking it gently twice. Chen Pi jerked his hand back as if he was electrocuted.

The delicate touch of Chu Ning's cheek seemed to still remain in the palm of his hand, and Chen Pi then saw that the child's eyes seemed to be flashing with stars.

He asked himself angrily, "Why are you here?"

There was surprise in his voice.

Chen Pi met Chu Ning's eyes and immediately fell silent. His right hand unconsciously touched the nine-claw hook that glowed coldly on his waist.

Chen Pi actually felt that his trip was inexplicable, and he learned about it from Zhang Qishan's subordinates in Zuihonglou.

Zhang Qishan, Er Laohong and others went down to the tomb and narrowly escaped death. They almost didn't get out of the tomb.

Chen Pi suddenly thought of that little kid with crooked eyes when he smiled.

I didn't even think about it now and went to visit Hong Mansion at night.

"Ahem, I heard that you went to the tomb underground in the mine?"

Chen Pi coughed to cover up and asked Chu Ning, trying his best to appear as if he was just here to inquire about information.

Chu Ning crawled out of the bed and pulled Chen Pi to sit on the small couch. There was a little moonlight by the window that slightly illuminated this small square of heaven and earth.

"Yes~

It was very dangerous there, but Master Fo, Second Master and Eighth Master took good care of me.

And Adjutant Zhang!

He even gave me snacks bought by Master Ba today~

You wait for me to look for it, here it is! "

As Chu Ning said this, he pulled out an oil paper bag from under the small table on the couch and opened it.

There was a hint of black sesame on the tip of tangerine peel's nose, and he saw a slender and white hand pushing the oil paper bag to his eyes.

"Have you had dinner? Want to taste it?"

Chu Ning said softly, Chen Pi picked up a glutinous rice ball and put it in his mouth.

He raised his eyes and met Chu Ning's eyes, which were so bright that they really contained starlight...

"Is it tasty?"

Chen Pi moved his teeth. It was very sweet. He didn't really like eating such sweets that children loved, but this was given to him on his own initiative.

"It's so sweet."

With a slightly disgusted tone, Chu Ning said "Oh" without saying anything else.

Chen Pi waited, but didn't wait for Chu Ning to say anything else, so he spoke with some uncertainty and unfamiliarity.

“I know a stall that has so many flavors that you won’t get tired of it.

Ahem... Well, if you want to eat, I'll bring it to you next time. "

Chu Ning was not silent this time, and her eyes flashed, "Thank you~ You are as good as Master Ba."

Chen Pi was in a good mood when he heard Chu Ning's thank you in the previous sentence, but when he heard the latter sentence in which Chu Ning compared himself with that bad fortune teller, he immediately became very unhappy.

“Stop comparing me to that idiot.

Let me ask you, are you injured? "

Chu Ning shook his head and couldn't understand why Chen Pi suddenly became angry. This is a man~

Chu Ning couldn't figure it out, so she didn't hold on to it, thinking about it with a smile on her face.

"Do you care about me?"

Chen Pi frowned and said that this brat needed to be dealt with, and he had no time to worry about such an angry person.

"No! Don't...think too much."

Chen Pi wanted to stop being so sentimental, but he changed his words to a euphemistic way of saying it.

Chu Ning's mouth was flat and unforgiving, "Then how did you know that we went down to the mine, and then you still cared about my injury?"

What a bastard! Why are you still holding on to it? !

Chen Pi was surprised, with a helpless look on his gloomy face, which was very awkward.

"Ha~ Of course he is the personal soldier of Lord Zhang Dafo.

I just used some tricks, and his soldier fell drunk in Wenrouxiang and did anything.

What a useless piece of trash. "

Mentioning Zhang Qishan Chen Pi's words were full of disdain and ridicule, but Chu Ning learned that her worries had really come true.

The people led by Lord Buddha have outstanding abilities, but their character cannot stand scrutiny.

This also confirms that under the supervision of Lu Jianxun, Zhang Qishan really does not have many people under his command who can be used by him.

"You...are you here to send me a message?

Who do you want to know? Second Master or Buddha? "

Chen Pi was surprised by Xiao Zai Zi's keenness, but he just came here for verification and didn't want to help anyone.
