Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

【Three days later】

Chu Ning hung himself on the balcony railing, and Adjutant Zhang was horrified, "Xiao Ning!"

Chu Ning didn't find it scary. It was clearly a very healthy back-tanning exercise!

"Adjutant, are we leaving too?"

Adjutant Zhang nodded, his expression somewhat solemn, "Just the day before yesterday, the day after Master Buddha and his wife left the city, Second Master and his wife took their luggage to Master Jiu's Jieyu Building."

Chu Ning straightened up and asked, "Did the Second Master give you a message?"

Adjutant Zhang shook his head and then nodded, "It's not the Second Master, it's Miss Huo from the Huo family."

Chu Ning's eyes lit up. Qi Tiezui was not lying. The head of the Huo family just liked the Second Master, otherwise why would he help pass the message?

Adjutant Zhang looked at Chu Ning and didn't understand what Chu Ning was happy about, so he continued speaking.

"The Huo family has sent us a message that the Second Master will meet us outside the city."

Chu Ning raised his hand to smooth Adjutant Zhang's frown, "This is great, Madam has arrived at Master Jiu's territory, and her safety is guaranteed.

The Second Master wants to help us, and we can’t stop him.”

Chu Ning's implication was to tell Adjutant Zhang that this was not something he could decide or stop, so he told Adjutant Zhang not to worry too much.

"I'm worried that this is another conspiracy by Lu Jianxun."

"Let's take it one step at a time. Besides, I think Sister Huo is a very nice person."

Chu Ning shook his head to express his opinion, which earned him a surprised look from Adjutant Zhang.

What is this kid talking about? Anyone who can sit in the position of head of the family and manage such a big family must have lived through hardships.

Chu Ning actually thought Huo Sanniang was a good person? If she was a good person, she wouldn't have deliberately cooperated with Lu Jianxun to seize the Buddha's territory!

Chu Ning naturally saw Adjutant Zhang's confusion, so he turned around and spoke seriously.

"Adjutant Zhang, maybe in your opinion, others think that Mr. Huo cooperated with Lu Jianxun to force Mr. Buddha to leave Changsha.

But in my eyes, she is only doing it for the Huo family. She is doing her best to get more power so as not to be devoured by a bigger force.

It was not easy to be a woman in this era, and it was even more difficult to protect the head of a large family, Huo.

From her point of view, she did nothing wrong. The mine was their territory and the Huo family had the right to know.

The Second Master is the brother of the Master Fo, and perhaps out of the Nine Gates or out of selfish motives, the Huo family did not take advantage of his misfortune.

It's just that the way she cooperated with Lu Jianxun put us in a passive position, but this is also her ability.

Using the opponent's force to counter attack and being prudent to protect herself, the sacrifices made by this sister Huo for the Huo family are obvious to all.

I think she helped the Second Master only because at that moment she was Huo Jinxi, not Huo Sanniang."

Although Chu Ning followed Zhang Qishan, he always looked at everything from the perspective of a middleman.

There are no absolute good people or bad people. Because of different positions, there is naturally a distinction between camps.

Adjutant Zhang was silent for a long time, and finally his stiff expression relaxed.

"I see.

Xiao Ning, we must be on guard against others and be cautious. "

Chu Ning tilted his head and smiled, "Of course~ Master Ba and I will have to rely on our powerful Adjutant Zhang~"

Adjutant Zhang's ears turned red immediately after being praised by Chu Ning, and he quickly turned around and ran away.

Chu Ning laughed out loud, understanding the joy that Qi Tiezui felt when he teased Adjutant Zhang from time to time.

It’s just that Adjutant Zhang was a carnivorous plant created by Qi Tiezui himself. Facing Qi Tiezui’s unreasonable behavior, Adjutant Zhang was able to fight back reasonably.

But faced with Chu Ning's sincere praise, Adjutant Zhang really couldn't accept it.

Chu Ning really wanted to see Adjutant Zhang "fight back" at him~

【Outside Changsha】

Chu Ning and Adjutant Zhang were dressed lightly and walking on a small country road.

Adjutant Zhang raised his hand from time to time to touch the pistol hidden at his waist.

Chu Ning reached out and grabbed Adjutant Zhang's arm, "Adjutant, you are too nervous."

Adjutant Zhang said sternly, "If you follow me out, I will of course protect you."

Chu Ning smiled and shook Adjutant Zhang's arm, like a younger brother acting coquettishly with his older brother.

"Relax, relax. I'll tell you when someone comes..."

Chu Ning frowned after he finished speaking. Adjutant Zhang stopped, drew the gun from his waist and asked.

"what happened?"

Chu Ning closed his eyes, scattered his mental energy around him, and then his expression relaxed, but his face turned a little pale.

"Someone is coming, it's the Second Master and Mr. Huo.

There is no one lying in ambush around.”

Chu Ning explained the current situation to Adjutant Zhang, fearing that Adjutant Zhang might offend Mr. Huo without knowing it.

Adjutant Zhang nodded, but did not put away the gun in his hand immediately.

The two walked forward for a while, and then saw the figures of Erhong and Huo Sanniang appear in their sight.

Chu Ning trotted towards Erhong. Adjutant Zhang raised his hand to try to stop him but failed, so he had to follow closely behind him.

"Second Master! Here, here~"

Erhong was very good at identifying locations by sound, and when he looked up and saw the child running towards him, he couldn't help but smile.

Then he stood still and raised his arms.

Huo Sanniang found this scene unbelievable.

Huo Sanniang could feel that this was the most relaxed moment for Erhong since she followed him out of the city.

Immediately afterwards, a small figure hugged Er Hong. To be precise, Er Hong gently hugged Chu Ning and patted Chu Ning on the back.

"I'm sorry to have made you worry, Xiaoning.

haven't seen you for a long time. "

Chu Ning felt a little sour in his nose and shook his head. His hair rubbed against Er Hong's chest, messing up his hair.

Then Chu Ning took a step back and greeted Er Hong and Huo Sanniang.

"Long time no see~Second Master.

Hello, Sister Huo, nice to see you again."

Erhong raised her hand to smooth Chu Ning's frizzy hair, and nodded to Adjutant Zhang who came over from behind.

He turned sideways and introduced Chu Ning to Huo Sanniang, "This is my child, Chu Ning."

"Oh? Yours?" Huo Sanniang's gaze shifted to Chu Ning. After she finished talking with Chu Ning in prison, she went back and sent someone to check on Chu Ning.

The result of the search was indeed nothing, which made Huo Sanniang even more curious about Chu Ning.

However, after Chu Ning was released from prison, he was protected too well by Zhang Qishan, so she had no news about him.

Huo Sanniang opened her red lips and said, "Nice to meet you again, Chu Ning."

Chu Ning showed an obedient smile, facing Huo Sanniang, his eyes were so clear that people could tell what Chu Ning was thinking at a glance.

"After you left, Sister Huo, the soldiers no longer dared to torture me at will.

Here, I would like to thank Sister Huo for her care. "

Chu Ning bowed to Huo Sanniang and expressed his gratitude to her sincerely.

Erhong and Adjutant Zhang looked at each other. What they didn't know was that Huo Sanniang had taken care of Chu Ning.

Huo Sanniang stared at the swirl on Chu Ning's head and developed a liking for Chu Ning.

I went to the prison to visit him, firstly because Er Hong had entrusted him to do so, and secondly because of the things happening in the mine.

If I knew the details first, I would have more information than Lu Jianxun and could plan the next step in advance.

Chu Ning brought up this matter in front of Adjutant Zhang and Er Hong to apologize, not only to improve his image in Er Hong's heart.

Similarly, Adjutant Zhang is Zhang Qishan’s confidant, and if Zhang Qishan is very fond of Chu Ning.

Then my status with Zhang Qishan will be better, plus I am sending Er Hong out of the city today.

It seems that this kid is helping himself.

The child knew that it was because he mentioned him to Lu Jianxun that Lu Jianxun wanted to capture Chu Ning.

Now that Chu Ning never mentioned this matter, Huo Sanniang naturally would not refuse Chu Ning's kindness.

Huo Sanniang's smile became more charming. "Okay, little guy, I accept your gift."
