Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Zhang Qishan left decisively, but Jiang Xinxin's rare good impression of him disappeared completely. He really had been in the business for too long and would test everyone he met.

Seeing that Jiang Xinxin looked a little unhappy, Jiang Xiaoguan stepped forward to comfort her: "Zhang Qishan has nothing to do with us. The others, whether it's Yin Xinyue, Huo Xiangu, or Jie Jiu, are all good."

Jiang Jiuri has always been unhappy with Zhang Qishan and Zhang Rishan. In the past, it was because Zhang Qishan actually asked Zhang Rishan to be his deputy, and Zhang Rishan, a good Qilin, actually bowed down to a Qiongqi and became his vassal. Even if he didn't like the Zhang family, he was not happy to see such a situation.

Looking at Zhang Qishan again now, Jiang Jiuri felt that perhaps Zhang Qishan had actively or passively participated in the events in the Zhang family's ancient building, and the reasons behind it were worthy of an in-depth investigation.

"At the beginning, it was Zhang Qishan himself who said that he borrowed the Zhang Family Ancient Building in Banai to deceive many members of the Wang family and other people with ulterior motives. Although Huo Xiangu later corroborated it, perhaps Huo Xiangu did not know some of the inside stories. So why don't we go to the Zhang Family Ancient Building to investigate and see what role Zhang Qishan played in that operation."

This suggestion was very good. Jiang Xinxin's expression finally looked less ugly. "Then let's pack up and wait for Gu Cai and Duo Ling to come over and meet up. We'll take them to Luzon first. When Zhang Qishan and the others lead the team to set off, we'll ask Hu Bayi or Fatty to help arrange things. At least we'll have an identity to disguise ourselves."

Jiang Jiuri responded happily and went straight to contact Fatty. After all, his relationship with Fatty was better than that with Hu Bayi.

Black Glasses looked at Jiang Xinxin eagerly. Jiang Xinxin thought for a moment and assigned a task to Black Glasses: "Zhang Qishan may not give up just like that. He may come back. If he does, I'll trouble you to make a trip. Don't worry, if Zhang Qishan wants to hire you, he must not come empty-handed. Just name the price you want."

The money-grubber Black Glasses was finally happy.

However, Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but ask, "You don't have any big expenses now, why are you still thinking about the adventurous days in the past?"

Black Glasses chuckled, "Who wants to live a peaceful life in the wind and rain and lick blood on the edge of a knife? I saw that you are really worried about Zhang Qishan, so I volunteered to dedicate myself to help you solve your problems."

Jiang Xinxin did not ask about the real reason. Anyway, as long as Hei Yanjing wanted to tell her, he would not hide it. Jiang Xinxin turned around and prepared a talisman gift package for Hei Yanjing to equip. Hei Yanjing was so moved that he burst into tears and wanted to marry her. Jiang Xinxin declined and left quickly.

Jiang Xinxin originally thought that Zhang Qishan would not act so quickly, but before Gu Cai and Duo Ling came back, Zhang Qishan had already gathered all his men and was ready to go to Qinghai.

As soon as Zhang Qishan left, Huo Xiangu came quietly to the door. They didn't say much when they met. The first thing she said was that Zhang Qishan might have selfish motives, so she asked Jiang Xinxin to be more careful when dealing with her.

Hei Yanjing'er didn't wait for Zhang Qishan to come. After hearing what Huo Xiangu said, he felt that he must earn some money from Zhang Qishan.

Jiang Xinxin saw that Huo Xiangu's hair had turned a little gray, and her spirits were not as good as before when she learned that the Wang family had been destroyed. She felt a lot of emotions in her heart, but finally she just said: "Thank you for making this trip. It's a good thing that the Huo family has given up their underground work. It's also a good thing that you brought Wu Xie with you to raise him. Wu Laogou has not yet broken off contact with Qiu Dekao. Who knows what he will do in the future. You should also be careful."

Xiangu Huo's face turned pale. As a woman who had come through a special era and helped the Huo family grow bigger and bigger, she would certainly not act on her emotions easily. However, she had experienced many setbacks and compromises in order to marry Wu Laogou. If it were not for the survival of the Huo family, she would not have easily separated from Wu Laogou.

But now that she has a grandson, she just wants to live in peace and let the Huo family continue to prosper and protect her family from external harm. However, Wu Laogou has changed beyond recognition, and her friends who have fought with her have also developed other ideas. This is a big blow. It's not that she can't accept it, but she feels...

Duoling and Gucai had not set off yet and were still staying on Coral Temple Island. Seeing that Jiang Xinxin could no longer stay in the capital, Jiang Jiuri quickly called Duoling and Gucai, asking them to meet up in Luzon and not to come to the capital. The three of them quickly packed up and returned to Luzon. As for Hei Yanjing'er, he was specially hired by Zhang Qishan and happily went to Qinghai with a generous reward.

Even though Hei Yanjing knew from the beginning that Zhang Qishan had selfish motives in this operation, he did not expect that Chen Pi's apparent successor Chen Wenjin was also in the inspection team. He did not expect that the other party had the credentials of a legitimate professional archaeological team and was a professional archaeological talent who had studied history and archaeology.

Hei Yanjing knew a lot about what happened in the Nine Gates back then. After all, he did a lot of work under Chen Pi at that time. Then there were Jie Jiu and Wu Laogou. Wu Laogou even asked him to secretly protect Wu Sanxing, and Jie Jiu also asked him to secretly protect Jie Lianhuan.

The Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West covers a large area. Although the sky is now filled with yellow sand and a black sandstorm has reduced the number of members of the expedition team by nearly half, the remaining people are almost all Zhang Qiling's confidants. It can be said that a black sandstorm has allowed Zhang Qiling to completely control the expedition team. No matter what they see or hear in the ruins of the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West, Zhang Qiling has the final say on everything.

The man with black glasses sensed the danger, and as for the troops marching out of the Devil City, he only gave instructions on how to investigate some obvious dangers and never stepped out again, acting like a consultant, not asking or saying anything.

Zhang Qishan didn't care about Hei Yanjing's laziness. He even wished that Hei Yanjing would just be a figurehead and do nothing. After all, he only needed to borrow Jiang Xinxin's name to suppress other people who were dissatisfied with him.

In this way, everyone passed through the legendary Devil City and found the underground tropical rainforest in the middle of the Devil City, which is also the location of the Queen Mother of the West Palace.

As Black Glasses slid down the rope, he muttered to himself: If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have known that there could be such a vibrant tropical rain forest in the middle of this vast desert!

With the existence of this rainforest, Hei Yanjing'er became more and more convinced that the place Zhang Qishan found might really be the ruins of the so-called Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West.

However, this rainforest has been isolated from the outside world for many years and has evolved an independent and complete ecosystem. The species living in it may be incomparable to those outside. The degree of danger has increased sharply. Therefore, Hei Yanjing'er is more and more reluctant to come forward. He even hides the talismans and medicines given by Jiang Xinxin strictly. He doesn't want to use them unless it is absolutely necessary.
