Tomb robber: Tuantuan, I am a national treasure!

The sun shone through the thin clouds onto the street outside the door. The cobblestone road was shining slightly. The servant in black clothes saw that almost everyone had arrived, so he closed the door.

As for what happens later, we can only do as Mr. Huo said. We'll talk about it when they come. We'll prepare a table for them in the backyard. At least no one will go hungry.

It was almost noon. In addition to the Nine Gates, several important figures in Changsha City also came. However, they did not come here, probably because they were concerned about Zhang Qiling and the others. Instead, they were all very well-behaved, waiting for the delicious dishes specially prepared by the chef to be served.

Huo Jinxi had a graceful figure. After the commotion, she arranged everything and sat quietly aside, playing with a silk handkerchief in her hand.

She had just been chatting with someone for a long time and stopped at this moment. Her mouth was a little dry from talking. She raised her eyes slightly, and her gaze moved around. Sometimes her eyes fell on the path outside the window, looking at the servants who were hurriedly preparing food, and sometimes she retracted her gaze to Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong in the restaurant.

These two people are really good at talking, and she is tired of listening to them.

Er Yuehong was kept being pulled by Zhang Qishan, talking about all kinds of conspiracies and plots.

After a long time, he frowned slightly, rubbed his eyebrows with one hand, and a trace of fatigue appeared on his face. He originally didn't like these twists and turns, and now he was upset by these political intrigues.

But he couldn't help but listen. Zhang Qishan summarized the key points and repeated to Er Yuehong what he had discussed with Huo Jinxi on the road. They could have talked about it in another scene, but it just so happened that everyone was there, so he didn't have to call people over.

Er Yuehong was quite patient. After listening, he gave some suggestions. He believed that the plan of the two was too rough. Not only would they fail to catch big fish, but they might also alert the enemy. In this way, the other party would not be so easily fooled next time.

Zhang Qishan twirled his fingers. What Er Yuehong said made sense. They were in the dark and the other party might not even realize that they knew of their existence. Zhang Rishan had just been sent out by him to handle some matters.

Zhang Qishan also asked him to take a closer look at who was behind Tanaka Yoshiko.

For a moment, the atmosphere here became quiet. All the greetings and polite words had been said, and the plans had been discussed. There was really nothing more to talk about.

.....................

"Second Master, Master Buddha, I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you all right?"

The steady voice of Master Jie Jiu sounded, followed by Jinnian and Qi Tiezui.

He saw a few people first, with a faint smile on his face, and greeted them from a distance.

Mr. Jie Jiu was wearing a neat suit, his hair was combed meticulously, and his every move showed his elegance. He had sharp eyes and noticed several people in the other half of the restaurant from a distance. After talking to Jinnian, he came over.

Zhang Qishan raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were like torches, he looked at Master Jie Jiu, and said with a smile: "Master Jiu, I heard that business is good recently?"

There have been a lot of rumors recently, saying that Jiu Ye has made money and is going out on his own, and the whole city of Changsha is buzzing with the news.

However, this kind of rumor pops up every once in a while, and Zhang Qishan is not willing to believe it easily, just like the last time they went to the Crescent Hotel.

He hadn't shown up for a while, and within just a few days, rumors spread all over Changsha. There were several versions of the rumors, and people even said that he was going to go solo.

Zhang Qishan has always been fearless and speaks his mind. When he saw Jiu Ye in front of him, he asked this question.

Master Jie Jiu quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "Ah, no, no, they are exaggerating."

Master Jie Jiu knew clearly that in Changsha city, the business world was unpredictable and rumors were everywhere. He had only recently touched the interests of some people, but the rumors had spread like this, even reaching Master Fo. It seemed that someone couldn't stand it anymore.

If it weren't for the special relationship between him and Zhang Qishan and others, he might have been affected by these rumors.

"Master Jiu, quite a few people have come to see me, don't you see?"

Zhang Qishan was not exaggerating, there were indeed several people secretly trying to sow discord, but they were all outsiders, coming to do business. They seemed very dissatisfied with the monopoly of the Nine Gates, but they complained to the wrong place, and did not find out that he was the head of the Nine Gates.

"Master Buddha, please don't listen to those rumors. How could I, Master Jie Jiu, be the kind of person who would betray his faith?"

Jiuye Jie's tone was firm and his eyes revealed sincerity.

"If Lord Buddha believes me, can you let me handle it?"

Zhang Qishan nodded slightly. He naturally believed in Mr. Jie Jiu's character and was just telling him as a formality.

"Master Jiu, I'm just asking casually. Rumors in Changsha City are never to be trusted. Well, I'll leave this matter to you. Master Er and I still have a lot of things to do... By the way, I don't know if you are interested in the mine business?"

Zhang Qishan's words were very straightforward. Master Jie Jiu, who usually agreed to everything without hesitation, was silent for a rare moment.

"Master Buddha, I need to take another look."

"Sure, you're welcome to come anytime. Maybe we'll even visit you earlier."

Perhaps the topic was too much. Considering that Jinnian was still behind him, Er Yuehong took the initiative to change the subject and asked, "Master Jiu, I wonder how Liu'er is doing?"

When Jinnian went to Jiu Ye's place, Er Yuehong often followed him. He met Liu'er several times and remembered that Jiu Ye had said before that Liu'er had a chronic illness and had not recovered. He also remembered it.

Master Jie Jiu smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Master. Liu'er is getting better and better, and everything else is fine too. She still thinks of you all the time."

A gentle smile appeared on Er Yuehong's face, and the worries in her heart were slightly relieved. When Jinnian fainted before, there was no stock, and Jiu Ye also sent a lot of things, and he had just returned the gifts a while ago.

Qi Tiezui was behind, holding Jinnian's shoulders. He didn't interrupt, but lowered his head and whispered to Jinnian, "Life is perfect, it must be Master Jiu!"

Jinnian heard it and whispered to him, then patted his shoulder and said, "Eighth Master is not bad at all!"

Qi Tiezui sighed and said, "Oh, I'm just a fortune teller. No matter how good I am, I can't compare to these people."

Jinnian didn’t understand the inexplicable sadness of the Eighth Master, but in his heart, Qi Tiezui was really powerful.

He himself didn't know much, but he knew that Qi Tiezui would tell him which day the weather would be good so he could go out and play, and would take him to tell fortunes for free to the uncles and aunts in the alley. He would even ask him to take a look at which shops were opening in Changsha. The reward was just a few oil cakes or a dozen glutinous rice cakes, and sometimes he didn't even charge him for it.

Mr. Ba said that this is fate.

"Master Ba! Go ask around in the alley. They all like you very much. I like you too, really."

Jinnian said seriously.

The comfort from the little friend was so heavy that it knocked away Qi Tiezui's melancholy. Yes, although he was not good at seeking power and making money, he had a good relationship with people!

Qi Tiezui was slightly stunned, then he smiled: "Ah, that's true, maybe I'm more famous than Master Fo in the alley? I'm really getting old, and I'm starting to have wild thoughts."

I don't know when the restaurant's chef came over, called people, and walked over with dishes. When he came over, the plate in his hand was full of beautiful dishes, the aroma was fragrant and made people salivate.

"Gentlemen, the food is here."

Everyone's attention was attracted by the delicious food. Huo Jinxi shook her handkerchief and urged them.

"Why don't you sit down? Are you waiting for me to treat you?"

"Hey, here you are! I want to eat my fill and see how good the cooking skills of the people Sanniang invited are!"

Qi Tiezui was the first to respond. He pulled Jinnian to sit down with a grin on his face, finding a good seat. He didn't show any sign of sighing from before.

Huo Jinxi glanced at him and said calmly, "It will definitely suit your taste. His price is twice yours."

“?! Hisss… Oh my goodness, it’s so expensive?”

Huo Jinxi remained silent and agreed. Qi Tiezui picked up the fish meat with a painful look on his face. Although it was not his money, he still felt very sad!

While he was eating, he also picked up a piece for Jinnian: "Eat more, it's expensive."

To Jinnian's right is Qi Tiezui, and to his left is Er Yuehong. Both of them are picking up food for him, and a few people not far away also come to join in the fun.

The last piece of food was picked up by Huo Jinxi. She looked at the full bowl in front of Jinnian, was silent for a while, waved her hand, and asked the servant to bring another bowl, filled it up, and placed it in front of Jinnian. Then she nodded with satisfaction and urged Jinnian to eat quickly.

The fish meat was tender, sweet and sour, sour and sweet. He was especially grateful for Jinnian's thoughts. He didn't have time to say anything for a while. After thanking everyone one by one, he focused on the food piled up like a small mountain in his bowl, so that he hardly listened to what they said.

Master Jie Jiu smiled and nodded. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. The rich flavor instantly spread in his mouth. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "This taste is really authentic. Master Yang's cooking skills are really good."

Huo Jinxi was very pleased and nodded: "Of course, I asked a lot of people to invite him."

"Wow, Chef Yang is really famous~"

Qi Tiezui was also eating happily. With the price of two of them, he couldn't think of anything else to say except to praise them. However, it was still nice to spend other people's money...

Er Yuehong watched him and told him to be careful not to overeat. He asked for a cup of tea and placed it in front of Jinnian to prevent him from choking.
