Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates
Chapter 228 The Snake Appears
Chu Ning pulled Yin Xinyue out of the defense official's residence and saw Er Hong waiting at the door. Er Hong smiled and waved at Chu Ning.
Just as Chu Ning thought, Er Hong came to pick Chu Ning up early in the morning.
The only difference this time was that there was a girl with Erhong. Chu Ning trotted quickly to Erhong and the girl.
Yin Xinyue looked at him and curled her lips secretly. Why wasn't this child so close to her?
"Second Master, Madam!
Why are you all here?"
The girl was helpless and patted Chu Ning's head, "What? Our Xiao Ning doesn't want me to come?"
Chu Ning covered his forehead, wondering why his head was so popular and everyone wanted to rub or pat it.
But the girl's fingertips only touched Chu Ning's forehead lightly, and it didn't hurt, but it felt itchy instead.
Chu Ning protected his forehead and shrank his neck, "No, no~
Madam is the best~ I brought Sister Yue out with me today!"
Yin Xinyue walked closer and took the girl's arm affectionately, "Girl, I haven't seen you for a long time. I see that you look much better."
The girl also patted the back of Yin Xinyue's hand which was around her arm, and looked at Chu Ning with joy in her eyes.
Chu Ning moved closer to Er Hong. Although he did save the girl from her illness, he didn't want to be stared at by them with gratitude.
The girl's actions were just right. She didn't focus too much on Chu Ning, but she was also grateful to Chu Ning for saving her.
Chu Ning felt that this was enough.
"Xinyue, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Today, Second Master said the weather is good and he would take us to the lake for a tour.
It's a good opportunity for you to come and join us."
Erhong looked down at Chu Ning who was moving closer to her and rubbed the child's furry head.
"I guess Miss Yin likes the hustle and bustle."
These words were completely on the side of his wife, and he and the maid invited Yin Xinyue together.
Yin Xinyue smiled happily. She liked the hustle and bustle. "Of course that's good. I also want to talk to you more."
Seeing that no one had any objection, the girl took Yin Xinyue and got on a rickshaw, heading towards the lake.
When Er Hong was about to get into the car, he was suddenly attracted by a car coming from a distance.
Chu Ning tilted his head and looked at the car approaching from afar. "What's wrong, Second Master?"
Erqianhong's eyes were filled with worry. "Did the Buddha tell you that there are guests coming to your house today?"
Chu Ning thought about it carefully, and all he could think of was the embarrassment in the study, so he shook his head like a rattle.
Erhong saw that Chu Ning's ears were a little red, and felt confused, but did not ask any more questions.
He answered Chu Ning's question, "This car belongs to the Huo family."
After saying that, he pulled Chu Ning back a few steps and hid the two of them in the tea shop behind them.
Chu Ning was a little surprised, "Huo family, Huo Sanniang?
The "snake" that the Buddha mentioned showed up so soon? "
He originally thought that he would have to wait a few more days, but he didn't expect Lu Jianxun's group to be so impatient.
Erhong nodded, but looked in the direction the girl left.
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and moved closer to Er Hong, "Second Master, please go find the Madam.
I'll go and keep an eye on the Buddha.
Madam and Sister Yue need someone nearby~"
Er Hong lowered her eyes and looked at Chu Ning. She concluded from Chu Ning's eyes that the child knew her concerns and was sincerely thinking about her.
I couldn't help but laugh, "Xiao Ning, do you think the Buddha is too weak?
The Huo family will not openly confront Lord Buddha now. I believe Lord Buddha can handle it.
What I am concerned about right now is whether Huo Sanniang's purpose in coming here is really to pass on a message for Lu Jianxun, or whether she... has other intentions."
While the two were talking, the car had already stopped at the mansion.
Just as Erhonghong said, Huo Sanniang got off the car and walked straight into the official residence.
Chu Ning lowered his eyes and thought, then a smile broke out on his face and he reached out to stop a rickshaw.
“Then I should pay more attention.
Don't worry, Second Master. I will be a good boy and won't cause any trouble for Master Buddha.
You should go and accompany Madam to go boating on the lake. Madam will be worried if she can't find you later."
Chu Ning turned around and walked behind Er Hong, then pushed Er Hong onto the rickshaw.
Erhong obediently got into the car. She didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, she stared at Chu Ning seriously, her eyes full of apology.
"The girl and I will replenish you during the lake cruise."
Chu Ning waved his hands, feeling a different emotion in his heart. He didn't expect that Er Hong would instruct him about this.
"It's okay~"
Chu Ning really thought it was okay, he didn't come here to have fun.
Er Hong raised her hand and poked Chu Ning's cheek with her fingertips.
The smile was filled with the doting of an elder, "At your age, other people's elders have already taken their children to play, so we Xiao Ning should also have some~"
Chu Ning covered his face, but he still couldn't escape the devil's clutches. It was really hard to guard against~
Hearing Er Hong say this, Chu Ning's eyes sparkled, "Thank you, Second Master~"
Er Hong nodded and told the driver to move forward, while Chu Ning returned to Zhang Qishan's mansion through the back door.
【Defense official residence - Zhang's house - living room】
"Master Huo, it's been a long time since we last met. Please take a seat."
Zhang Qishan and his adjutant Zhang entertained Huo Sanniang. Huo Sanniang lifted her cheongsam lightly and sat down without looking away.
Zhang Qishan asked with a smile, "Mr. Huo doesn't seem to be in a good mood today."
Huo Sanniang smiled and said, "Master Zhang, you have become famous recently."
Zhang Qishan knew what Huo Sanniang was talking about, but he ignored her and waved to the maid to serve tea.
"Hehe~ Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."
Chu Ning saw Zhang Qishan's gesture and took the tray from the maid.
The maidservant gently reminded, "Young Master, be careful of the heat."
Chu Ning smiled in response, and when Zhang Qishan finished speaking, he walked over quickly and placed two cups of tea on the table.
Adjutant Zhang's eyes widened. Wasn't this little ancestor picked up by the Second Master? Why did he appear here? !
Zhang Qishan glanced at Chu Ning without changing his expression, and picked up the teacup and skimmed off the tea foam.
After serving tea, Chu Ning put away the tray and stood obediently next to Adjutant Zhang.
Huo Sanniang only saw a pair of white and clean hands, and then just glanced at Chu Ning, and then turned her attention to Zhang Qishan.
The words he spoke became increasingly harsh, "Master Zhang's tea is good, but it may not moisten your throat. I'm afraid it will make your throat drier after you drink it!"
Huo Sanniang stared coldly at Zhang Qishan with her narrow and long phoenix eyes.
Chu Ning looked up and felt that there was a strong cruelty in Huo Sanniang's eyes.
"This sister is so fierce, did the Buddha provoke her?"
Before Adjutant Zhang could figure out what was happening when Chu Ning suddenly showed up to serve tea, he heard Chu Ning's almost inaudible mumbling.
Fortunately, Chu Ning's voice was soft and he was standing close to me, so I could hear it clearly.
If the child spoke any louder, Mr. Huo would definitely notice him.
Glancing sideways, he saw the child curiously watching the undercurrent between Huo Sanniang and Zhang Qishan. He immediately moved forward slightly and blocked Chu Ning with his body.
The two people sitting there were so perceptive, yet Chu Ning actually had the leisure to watch the show.
Chu Ning only felt a broad body blocking him. He raised his hand and poked Adjutant Zhang's arm in dissatisfaction, but Adjutant Zhang remained unmoved.
Chu Ning had no choice but to quietly move his position. He didn't just watch the show. He had promised the Second Master that he would keep an eye on the situation.
Zhang Qishan took a sip of tea slowly, then looked at Huo Sanniang and asked a question, with a genuine look of confusion on his face.
"Why does Mr. Huo say that?"
Huo Sanniang did not bother to be polite with Zhang Qishan, but stated her purpose directly.
"Master Buddha, please don't ask questions when you already know the answer. The matter of the ancient tomb is already known to everyone.
Didn't you nearly lose your life there?"
Zhang Qishan's eyes gradually turned colder, and the smile disappeared from his eyes. It was Chu Ning who almost lost his life there.
Huo Sanniang's words reminded Zhang Qishan of the child's bloody body again.
Adjutant Zhang narrowed his eyes and his expression also turned cold.
Whenever someone mentioned the ancient mine tomb, the first thing that came to their mind was Chu Ning trying his best to comfort them even though he was the most seriously injured...
Chu Ning didn't know what Zhang Qishan and Adjutant Zhang were thinking, but he sensed in an instant that something was wrong with the two of them.
“I think Mr. Huo should not believe the rumors in the market. I have been ordered to govern Changsha, and the current situation is turbulent.
I don't have the energy to do these things. The Huo family has no shortage of excuses to accuse me of these crimes."
Zhang Qishan told half the truth and half implied that he knew those rumors were spread by Huo Sanniang and others, and he spoke with half-truth and half-false sincerity.
Huo Sanniang curled her lips and smiled, biting to death the things that Zhang Qishan wanted to embezzle from the ancient tomb, and then swore her sovereignty.
"Master Zhang, there is no need to make excuses. You should know that the mine is our Huo family's territory.
It has been more than three hundred years since my ancestors left the area, so the things under the mine naturally belong to our Huo family.
I don't need to say more about this.
I guess you know what happens to people who dare to act recklessly there."
Huo Sanniang stopped pretending at all. Her cold and beautiful face was full of frost, and the warning in her eyes was substantial.
As Chu Ning listened to what Huo Sanniang said, he felt that the entire living room seemed to have become several degrees colder.
It is confirmed that Master Buddha has definitely offended the Huo family...
