Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

A group of selected people walked in two teams on the street, and people on the street stayed far away and dared not look.

Adjutant Zhang looked puzzled, "Master Ba, do you know where we are going?"

After saying that, he glanced at Qi Tiezui's fingers and motioned him to calculate.

Qi Tiezui naturally understood what Adjutant Zhang meant. He moved his fingers a few times, muttered a few words, and then waved his hand in annoyance.

"Oh, forget it! It's too troublesome." He was a little nervous because of Adjutant Zhang.

Chu Ning tilted his head to look at the two people, "Anyway, we are heading to our destination, we will know when we get there."

Qi Tiezui nodded after hearing this. Even if he let it go now, there would be changes and he would feel uneasy!

"Misfortune is the root of blessing, and blessing is the root of misfortune."

The fat man followed Adjutant Zhang and spoke to the three people.

"Don't worry, just follow me and don't talk nonsense later."

The group was taken to a place full of guards from Baiqiao Village. The guards had painted faces, weapons in their hands, and looked solemn.

"You all wait here and don't move!"

"Yes!"

Qi Tiezui saw two people in the room talking, one of them was obviously in a superior position in terms of his clothes and demeanor.

So he patted the fat man's shoulder and said, "Fatty, is that the guardian of Baiqiao Village?"

The fat man nodded and waved his little chubby hands twice, signaling the three to come closer.

"He is the uncle of the big chieftain, the boss here." The fat man said while giving a thumbs up implicitly.

Qi Tiezui raised his head and took another look, "Oh~ This is a royal relative~"

Chu Ning also looked up and felt that the way the guardian looked at them was as if he was looking at a dead person, cold but also excited?

"He is the boss here, what about the chieftain?"

Chu Ning asked the fat man. He seemed to be about to grasp the clue and was just waiting for the fat man to confirm his thoughts.

When Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang saw Chu Ning like this, they knew that Chu Ning must have discovered something, so they waited for the fat man to answer their questions.

The fat man gave Chu Ning a thumbs-up before he could put it away, "Little brother always hits the nail on the head.

This protector had always had a bad relationship with the chieftain, and they often quarreled with each other in the hall.

It is said that the deceased husband of this chieftain was also killed by this uncle."

Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang were surprised, "Really?"

"Yeah." The fat man nodded seriously.

“So what are we chosen for this time?

Do some hard work?"

Chu Ning looked at the team and found that everyone was strong and healthy. At the very least, they were as strong as Qi Tiezui.

The fat man shook his head and said, "It should be to select porters for the prince.

Originally, these were to be chosen by the chieftain, but this guardian insisted on choosing for himself."

Qi Tiezui looked at Chu Ning, and Chu Ning nodded slightly. He finally understood why the leader, when selecting people, implicitly reminded them not to send all three brothers.

"Then things here are not simple."

The fat man did not comment, "Of course it's not simple, this tree burial of the prince" was carried out in the Valley of the Dead!

When the fat man said the words "Valley of the Dead", Chu Ning, the adjutant and Qi Tiezui didn't react much. The ones who reacted the most were those who were selected in the queue in front.

When those people heard this, they no longer cared about order. They turned around and formed a semi-circle, trapping the fat man inside.

"You can't go to that place!"

One of them said, but the fat man was very calm and talked about the matter, "If you want money, stop talking nonsense.

These were all chosen by the leader, and have nothing to do with me.

They all came over here and I didn't know what instructions they would give next.

Don’t you think about it? This is Baiqiao Village. How can we Han people get the good jobs?

Everyone is on their own. Stand in line, stand in line. "

Chu Ning turned his head to look at the fat man, and when the fat man noticed that he was looking at him, Chu Ning lowered his head and smiled.

Fatty... he was helping these people survive by telling them the story of the feud between the chieftain and the protector, and leading them to their destination.

Otherwise, they had been speaking in low voices before, and there was no reason for the leader to go in and reply to the chieftain, so they started to communicate normally without any scruples.

After all, the surrounding area was filled with guards from Baiqiao Village, and there were people patrolling not far from them from time to time.

The fat man waved his hands to disperse the crowd, "Quick, quick, everyone go back and stand still."

After hearing what the fat man said, those people had no choice but to stand still with their own thoughts in mind.

Adjutant Zhang noticed Chu Ning's actions and looked a little puzzled. What did this have to do with their search for Master Buddha? He suddenly didn't want to get involved in the feud in Baiqiao Village.

Perhaps because he had been with Zhang Qishen for too long, he seemed to be able to feel that Zhang Qishen's health was getting worse day by day.

"Xiao Ning, Master Ba, should we...interfere in this matter?

It seems to be a dispute within Baiqiao Village."

When the fat man heard what Adjutant Zhang said, he silently took a step back. He had a very good sense of propriety.

Knowing that what followed was not his place to listen, he left space for Chu Ning, Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang to talk, while also looking up to see when the leader would come out.

"Thank you, Fatty."

Chu Ning sincerely thanked the fat man for his attentiveness. Every action of the fat man made clear his position.

Even if he has some selfish motives, it is harmless. As long as no one's interests are harmed, everyone should have equal access to information.

No matter what, Chu Ning had to thank the fat man.

The fat man blushed when Chu Ning looked at him. He was actually not very old, and although he felt awkward on the surface when being thanked so positively, he was extremely happy and satisfied in his heart.

Qi Tiezui heard Adjutant Zhang's question and was also thinking about it.

The dispute in Baiqiao Village cannot be resolved in a short time, and it is obvious that the protectors here have bad intentions.

Knowing it is a pit of fire, they are so stupid that they jump in one after another.

But if they don't go, they only know the direction, but the west is too large, and they may waste more time if they go alone.

The Dharma protector is obviously not a good person. He would send people to their deaths without blinking an eye.

But if they help the big boss in this matter, it will be convenient and faster than if they find it themselves.

……

"Let's go." Qi Tie's face was distorted with confusion, and he slowly uttered a word.

Adjutant Zhang was about to say something, but seeing that Qi Tiezui had made up his mind, he held his words in his stomach and finally nodded hesitantly.

Chu Ning trusted Qi Tiezui wholeheartedly and nodded as soon as Qi Tiezui finished speaking.

"Okay~" Complete trust, no hesitation, and no questions asked.

“Hey, hey, hey! You can tell me what you think. I’m not a judgmental person. If anything happens to you two following me.

I won’t be able to explain myself to the Buddha…”

"Since Master Ba has made the decision, he must have considered the pros and cons of going and not going, as well as the subsequent corresponding actions.

My adjutant and I could think of it, but we lacked someone to speak first.

The decision made by Mr. Ba at this time not only means that he has taken on the responsibility, but also that he will take care of all the issues that may arise in the future."

After Chu Ning finished speaking, his eyes fell on the group of selected "porters" in front.

These people are different from Zheng Qiping and Bai Zhongjie. They are just ordinary people and have no intention of getting involved in the feuds between the people in power in Baiqiao Village.

"I know that Master Ba is afraid of trouble, but he will not make a choice that goes against his heart just to avoid trouble."

When Qi Tiezui saw Chu Ning's smiling face, he felt soft in his heart. This was why he liked Chu Ning.

Others may have numerous concerns, or keep them to themselves, or say one thing and do another, but Chu Ning just laid them out in the open.

The choice lies with man, and man can conquer nature!

Qi Tiezui rubbed Chu Ning's head, causing Chu Ning's smiling eyes to show accusation.

After listening to the conversation between Qi Tiezui and Chu Ning, Adjutant Zhang turned to look at the group of anxious people behind him.

Eventually, he put that hesitation behind him and reflected and cursed himself in his heart. Although he is no longer a soldier, he cannot forget his mission and must put the people first.

If you know they are in danger and don’t go, you are not a soldier led by the Buddha!

After realizing this, Adjutant Zhang asked the fat man so that he could be prepared to protect Qi Tiezui and Chu Ning.

"Fatty, what's in the Valley of the Dead you just mentioned?

What could make these people so scared and resistant?"

When the fat man heard Adjutant Zhang's call, he knew they had finished talking, so he came over happily.

But this time he lowered his voice so as not to cause panic among the selected villagers.

"These are just rumors. They say that strange things always happen in this valley."

After hearing this, Qi Tiezui couldn't help but let out a long sigh, put his arm on Adjutant Zhang's shoulder, and looked very worried.

Well, it’s another supernatural event.

Adjutant Zhang folded his arms across his chest and simply glanced at Qi Tiezui's reaction without changing his expression.

Chu Ning couldn't help laughing when he saw Qi Tiezui standing unusually straight because of Adjutant Zhang's disgusted look.

If we talk about this "paranormal event", then it is exactly what Mr. Ba is doing.

Qi Tiezui was standing at attention. When he met Chu Ning's puzzled look, he pursed his lips, and finally moved to Chu Ning's side and explained in a low voice.

“I don’t look for trouble, but trouble looks for me.

This time when I see the Buddha, I will make him pay me more!"

"Don't worry, Master Ba, my adjutant and I will protect you.

I'm sure you won't get hurt."

Qi Tiezui glanced at Adjutant Zhang and said, "How could he not show any emotion? He simply didn't react at all!"

Chu Ning widened his eyes slightly. Although it was inappropriate at the moment, he really wanted to raise his hand and report.

Chu Ning: (n?_?) Report to the adjutant, someone here says you are not capable!

"The Valley of the Dead, I'm afraid there's no way back."

Through Chu Ning's initial reaction and Qi Tiezui's concerns, Adjutant Zhang naturally understood the twists and turns involved.

Based on my years of understanding of Qi Tiezui, I know why Qi Tiezui only reacts superficially. Qi Tiezui is simply afraid of trouble.

The fat man was stunned by the direct question from Adjutant Zhang. If Chu Ning had asked the same question, he would have still sighed about the youthful spirit.

But when Adjutant Zhang asked the question, Fatty broke out in a cold sweat. He was afraid that if he didn’t answer correctly, he would have to use the small pill that Chu Ning had just given him yesterday. . .

"Brother, this might be the case for others, but you three are all capable people, so it will be fine!

The leader also made the decision on the personnel this time, so I really can’t do anything about it.”

The implication is that he was not involved and of course could not help much. He could only warn the three people in advance.

"The big toast is here!"

A voice came from behind, and everyone lined up.

Chu Ning tilted his head and saw a person wearing a red and green-striped dress, holding a colorful staff, and wearing the highest-standard hat for women in Baiqiao Village, slowly walking up the stairs.

The woman looked very young, perhaps in her twenties or thirties, but her face was quite haggard, with a faint dark tint under her eyes. Upon closer inspection, her expression was sad and serious.

"Wow~ He came up here wearing only a bed sheet."

Chu Ning only heard Qi Tiezui whispering in his ear, and raised his eyes to look at the big toast again. The red... bed sheet left dragging marks on the ground as the big toast walked.

Although the chieftain was surrounded by people and made a solemn appearance, he was disrupted by Qi Tiezui's words.

At this moment, Chu Ning suddenly thought that it was fortunate that this was a gravel road, not a dirt road.

When I think of the dirt road, clothes sticking to the ground, and getting wet with morning dew, I feel sorry for the people who are washing the clothes...

Chu Ning shook off the thoughts in his mind, moved away from Qi Tiezui, and moved closer to Adjutant Zhang.

Adjutant Zhang lowered his eyes and glanced at Chu Ning's head.

I couldn't help but clench my fists. This Eighth Master is really something. He starts to bully people again after I don't keep an eye on him for a while...

Seeing that the child shook his head and ignored him, Qi Tiezui went to grab the fat man to talk to him again.

Adjutant Zhang closed his eyes and opened them again, raised his hand to straighten Qi Tiezui's body, "Eighth Master, please be at peace."

His tone was as helpless as it could be. Qi Tiezui glanced at Adjutant Zhang's somewhat gloomy expression, then smiled and stood up straight.

"See the chief."

The chief chief passed by the three people, and the people around him clasped their fists and bowed. Before the three people could do anything, the chief chief had walked past.

"He really is a local emperor. He even wants to pay homage to the emperor."

Qi Tiezui's deep voice came, and Adjutant Zhang showed a standard smile and grinded his teeth beside Qi Tiezui's ear, "Eighth Master~"

Chu Ning saw this and quietly moved further away from the two of them. This Eighth Master was just complaining.

【In the hall】

"It is the responsibility of the local authorities to select porters to escort the prince to his funeral. The guardians do not need to worry about it."

The chief chieftain sat high in the main seat and spoke to the guardian in a warning tone.

"The chieftain lost his beloved son, and the elders of the tribe thought you were in a bad mood, so they specially appointed me to share your worries."

"Share the worries?" The chieftain almost laughed out of anger at the words.

"They have always been members of our tribe, but you chose to choose a Han Chinese as your guardian. What is your intention?"

The guardian remained unmoved, as if he did not hear the sarcasm and questioning in the chieftain's words.

"Oh, what ulterior motive do I have? Everything I did was for the sake of the great chieftain.

The young death of the crown prince is a warning from heaven and is a great ominous sign.

By not allowing the Han people to carry the coffin, does the chieftain want to harm his people? ! "

"you!"

Even though the chieftain wanted to fight, he was helpless against the clan's rules and could only look away in disgust and not look at the guardian.

"Don't worry, Great Chieftain, the people have been selected and they will be able to set off soon."

The chief chieftain left the table in anger and glared at the group of selected porters as he passed by.

Qi Tiezui happened to look up and met the glare of the great chieftain.

Suddenly his scalp felt numb, and he grabbed Chu Ning with his left hand and pulled Adjutant Zhang with his right hand.

The chief chief just glared at them with hatred, and then left with his entourage in a mighty manner.

"Adjutant, Xiao Ning, my life is over.

Did she hear it? She must have heard it!

Ouch! Look at my stinky mouth!

Woo, I'm leaving, you two better take good care of yourself..."

Chu Ning understood Adjutant Zhang's gnashing of teeth and gritted his teeth twice.

He raised his hand and looked at Qi Tiezui who was grabbing his wrist, pretending to bite it. Qi Tiezui let out an "ah" and let go of the two of them.

Pointing at Chu Ning, he said in horror, "Three-inch nails on your body!"

Chu Ning gnashed his teeth even more happily, "Eighth Master, you still bring it up!"
