Tomb robber: Tuantuan, I am a national treasure!

"woke up?"

Zhang Qishan pushed the door open and saw Jinnian already stuffed three buns into the room.

"Master Buddha, are you back?"

"Ah."

Qi Tiezui looked at the two people's empty hands and asked doubtfully: "What happened? Is there a problem?"

Zhang Rishan answered for Zhang Qishan.

"No, just go get it in a couple of days. Don't you still believe in the Buddha?"

Qi Tiezui was happy: "How dare I not believe it! Master Buddha is a man of letters............"

Zhang Qishan quickly asked him to stop. It was better not to let Qi Tiezui speak at this time. If he really started talking, it would probably take a while to finish.

Jinnian was very well behaved. He even brought stools over for a few people and then stood beside them like a little door god.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you come sit down?"

Zhang Qishan put his hands on the table and looked at him, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Jinnian shook his head, as if asking you to continue.

"I have sent someone to invite the Second Master, and he will be here soon. We still have to go to the mine, but we have to take care of some things first."

Zhang Rishan added: "Master Buddha, Lu Jianxun has been very aggressive recently. His words and deeds are full of ambition. He even tried to win over our allies, but no one paid any attention to him."

Zhang Qishan nodded: "We have to be on guard at least. He may not give up so easily."

Qi Tiezui was curious: "Who is this Lu Jianxun?"

"He was newly transferred from above. As soon as he arrived in Changsha, he did a lot of small things behind the scenes."

"You can tell at first glance that he is not a good person, a smiling tiger."

After Zhang Rishan finished explaining on behalf of Zhang Qishan, he did not forget to criticize Lu Jianxun.

Qi Tiezui was happy to listen to the gossip. It was rare to see Zhang Rishan have such strong personal emotions towards someone.

"Hey, hey, adjutant, you can't just look at others badly when you are bad yourself! How did he offend you?"

Zhang Qishan tapped the table and said, "Be careful. This guy is very scheming." He smiled and said, "The adjutant was tricked by him before and almost got tricked. He couldn't show it openly. It was really frustrating."

Jinnian touched Zhang Rishan comfortingly and handed him a candied date.

Qi Tiezui was very curious about Lu Jianxun. This adjutant would not listen to anyone except Master Buddha and only cared about Master Buddha. This new officer could defeat the adjutant with great martial arts skills, so he must be very smart. He liked smart people.

"Harmful."

Qi Tiezui sighed. It was useless to be smart. As long as you didn't stand with Lord Buddha, everyone would be your enemy. You might even have to fight with them in a battle of wits and courage. That would be troublesome.

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

Lu Jianxun was holding the information about Changsha, which showed that the forces in Changsha were complicated and chaotic, but some clues could be vaguely seen.

As he was watching, his confidant got into the car.

"Have you checked?"

"I checked. If this underworld artifact wants to leave Changsha, it must pass through one of the Nine Gates. Zhang Qishan is not only the defense officer of Changsha, but also the head of the Nine Gates."

Lu Jianxun laughed disdainfully: "Nine gates? The other eight gates are nothing more than concerns about Zhang Qishan's identity as a defense officer. Once we replace Zhang Qishan, won't the nine gates be easy to capture?"

"That's what you said."

Lu Jianxun is very confident in himself, and there is no one he cannot bring down.

"Have you checked these nine gates?"

"I checked it out, the Nine Sects seem to be very loose, more like the aristocratic families in the underworld."

"Oh? How to say it."

"They seem to be quite low-key. Each sect does something different. The second oldest, Er Yuehong, is an opera actor. The third oldest is a disabled person. The fourth oldest is a warrior. I don't know what the fifth oldest does. It is said that he raises a bunch of fierce dogs. As for the sixth oldest......"

Lu Jianxun interrupted him impatiently. In his opinion, these people were nothing but corrupt people.

"Just wait, they are just some bastards. One day, I will replace them............"

"That............"

"Let's go, let's start with Old Nine. I want to see who is hiding in these nine gates!"

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

Jinnian lay on the table and listened until he felt bored. He didn't understand much of what they were saying, so he didn't want to listen anymore.

He put his ear to the table and his nose moved, as if he smelled a familiar scent.

The closer he got, the stronger the smell became. Jinnian sat up immediately, and as if he had thought of something, he hurried to the table next to him, took the copy of the calligraphy, and hid it in the gap under the table.

Qi Tiezui looked at his smooth movements and propped up his head: "Xiao Jinnian, what are you doing?"

Jinnian turned around and quickly made a shushing gesture: "Brother is here!"

He looked at the people at the table and handed each of them a candy. The candy was sent by the housekeeper. His uncle felt sorry for him and secretly brought it to him.

"Don't say anything!"

Before the remaining few people responded, a voice was heard outside the door.

"What are you not allowed to say?"

Jinnian shrank his head, watched Er Yuehong walk into the room, and whispered back, "I didn't say anything..."

"Have you been having fun lately?"

Jinnian moved his mouth and inexplicably remembered that the last time Er Yuehong asked him this question was when he was playing by the water and fell into the water. He had a high fever all night, and Er Yuehong stayed with him all night. The next morning, she asked him this question.

Jinnian felt a dull pain in her buttocks, and her expression changed immediately. She pressed herself against him, crying, and pulled at his clothes as if she was about to cry.

"There are bad guys and moths. Jinnian is afraid."

When Er Yuehong saw Jinnian pretending to cry, he could not stand it anymore. He quickly asked someone to sit down and comforted her softly.

Qi Tiezui watched from the side and smacked his lips, thinking that the small can always defeat the big. He thought that if Jinnian asked for stars in the sky, Er Yuehong would be able to pick a moon for him.

"God damn it, got it? It's not as safe out there as you think. It's very dangerous."

"Ah."

Jinnian was pretending until he really started crying. Those bad guys really scared him. He wasn't afraid of the moth, but those big eyeballs were a bit disgusting.

Having not seen him for several days, Jinnian simply stayed with Er Yuehong.

A few people were used to it and started talking to Er Yuehong about going down into the mine.

"Master Buddha, you have been to that mine once. What I want to say is that there is much more to that mine than what you saw. There are even more terrifying things inside."

Zhang Qishan twisted the candy in his hand. He knew it was dangerous, but he had no choice.

"No matter how dangerous it is, it's not as dangerous as falling into the hands of the Japanese. No matter what they want, I can't give it to them. I can't give them a single cent of our ancestors' things!"

"Lord Buddha!"

Er Yuehong wanted to give him some more advice, but there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Rishan went out immediately.

"Buddha, I'm going."

Several people fell silent for a while, leaving only Jinnian shaking Er Yuehong's hand intermittently. He could see that his brother was very angry, but he also went down the mine.

As for the Japanese they were talking about, he didn't like them. Whenever they were mentioned, he felt indescribably irritated.

Qi Tiezui couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere and went to find Zhang Rishan.

"What's this?"

"The report from the confidant, which also contains the letter from Master Jiu."

Qi Tiezui touched his chin and said, "Why would Master Jiu write to Master Buddha for no reason? It's not like we can't meet each other."

Zhang Rishan reminded him: "Master Buddha claims to be recuperating outside, so he must pretend."

The two men went back, Zhang Qishan took the document and quickly looked through it without any hesitation.

Er Yuehong pinched Jinnian's chin and made him look up.

"Have you had any toothache lately?"

"No."

Jinnian grabbed his sleeve and leaned back even harder: "Look! My teeth are fine!"

"Ah."

Er Yuehong gently rubbed his chin and let him go.

Jinnian smiled secretly. It seemed that Er Yuehong didn't notice that his uncle gave him candy.

Er Yuehong knocked him on the head and he calmed down.

It would be strange not to know.

"Second Master, take a look."

Zhang Qishan handed the document over, and Er Yuehong took it without refusing.

Jinnian lay in Er Yuehong's arms and leaned over to take a look. There were still some words that he couldn't understand, so he simply stopped reading and shrank back. If Er Yuehong knew that he couldn't understand it, he would have to learn characters again.

The more Er Yuehong looked, the uglier his face became, and his expression gradually became solemn.

Zhang Qishan continued: "There's more to it than that."

"As for Lu Jianxun, Master Jiu said that Lu Jianxun had already been to his place, and his words were full of attempts to win me over. It seemed that he really wanted to replace me."

Er Yuehong frowned and said, "Master Buddha, your influence in the Nine Sects is unparalleled."

"The people he sent to look for Banjie Li were all dealt with. They couldn't even get into Wu Laogou's place. As for the others, I don't know if they had any contact with Lu Jianxun."

After saying that, Zhang Qishan pinched his brows and said, "This is not the main point. He at least wants my position, the position of the head of the Nine Gates, while the Japanese want the things in the mine. Even we can't guarantee that what is inside is what they want."

"By the time they get the stuff, Changsha might be in danger. We don't dare to take the gamble."

Er Yuehong put down the documents in his hand, his eyes met Zhang Qishan's, and he tapped the table lightly.

He looked at Jinnian in his arms with a serious gaze. That innocent look was what he wanted to protect for the rest of his life.

"I will think about it."

The depression between Zhang Qishan's brows dissipated a little. He knew that this was already Er Yuehong's concession. As long as he said so, there was still room for negotiation.

"Jinnian, I'll take her back first."

"Master Buddha, aren't you leaving?"

Zhang Qishan shook his head at Er Yuehong: "I'm not well yet. Let's see who will be the first to give up when I, the leader of the Nine Sects, get injured."

His body naturally recovered, as he had always had a strong ability to recover. However, Zhang Qishan wanted to see who was the first to break the harmonious situation. The Nine Gates really needed to be rectified.

Er Yuehong stood up and prepared to take Jinnian back.

Jinnian glanced unconsciously, and just this one glance was enough for Er Yuehong to see the clue.

He followed Jinnian's gaze and looked at the table next to him, then glanced at his missing copybook and immediately understood.

He walked forward, reached out casually, and pulled out the crumpled copy of calligraphy from under the table.

Then, he looked at Jinnian and patted his head: "Let's go."

Qi Tiezui was watching from behind, and when he saw Jinnian being dragged away in a frustrated manner, his face was filled with mockery.

After the two men left, he sighed, "It's over. Jinnian's little butt is probably going to be in trouble. Adjutant, get him some safflower oil."

Zhang Rishan looked at the man who was laughing unbridled and reminded him: "Master Ba, if you keep laughing, do you want me to prepare something for you?"

"Let's go to the mines. Whether Second Master goes or not depends entirely on Young Master."

Qi Tiezui thought about it and it was true. He peeled a candy and it was sweet but not too sweet. No wonder Xiao Jinnian liked it.

Zhang Qishan put the file aside and looked up: "Master Ba, why are you still here?"

"Huh? What?"

"Have you completed the task assigned to you? Or have you already finished it?"

Qi Tiezui laughed: "Ah, this... That's right! I'm waiting for the right day. You know, we Feng Shui masters are very particular about time......"

Zhang Qishan raised his eyebrows: "By the time you find a good day, my gun will be rusty."

"Hahaha... Mr. Buddha really knows how to tell jokes."

"Why don't you go quickly?"

"Go, go, go, right now......."

Qi Tiezui walked away with his handkerchief in his mouth. He was squeezed every day and was about to be squeezed dry! It was just a few days of laziness, so what?

Zhang Qishan didn't know that Qi Tiezui was accusing him in his heart. If he knew, the adjutant would put the gun to Qi Tiezui's head and ask him if he was okay with the Buddha without him saying a word.

Zhang Qishan collected the documents, but Zhang Rishan went outside and moved another bunch of documents at some point.

"so much?"

"Yes, I just picked out the important ones to show you."

"alright."

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

Jinnian followed the man home and didn't dare to speak along the way.

I always feel like my butt is going to be swollen.

He quietly reached into Er Yuehong's sleeve, hooked his palm with his little hand, and finally placed a hard small square.

Er Yuehong took it out and saw that it was candy. Jinnian loved to eat it, so he could find a candy from anywhere on his body.

"Brother doesn't want to eat, so you can eat."

Seeing that it was useless to try to please him, Jinnian quickly lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, brother. I didn't mean it."

"What are you talking about?"

"what?"

Jinnian looked up blankly.

Er Yuehong pinched his chin.

"Did you go out without telling me, or did you go down to the mine without telling me?"

Er Yuehong stared at Jinnian's rosy lips with a serious look. He didn't care about the calligraphy. What he cared about was that the treasure in his hands was about to be abducted by someone.
