"Qi Ye, you are joking. We have just arrived today and you have invited us here? You asked us what we know about this ancient tomb, maybe it is the opposite? We should be the ones who asked you." Xun Youling looked puzzled. He retorted in a changed color.

Seeing that Xun Youling blocked his words back, Qi Ye said with a smile, "Since you are so sure that you came to the ancient tomb, why did you come here without knowing anything? If you want me to say that you are not the so-called Reporter, you should be with the previous batch of archaeological teams, right?"

"The archaeological team has been here for a while, and they must have known a lot, and the members of your archaeological team are no longer there, which means that the meaning of staying here is not very significant. I can't continue to investigate, which one is it, and I hope the three of you can explain it to me."

Ji Xinxi pursed his lips and said nothing, but secretly sighed in his heart that the person in front of him had a deep thought, and he almost went through everything in such a short period of time.

Xun Youling looked at Geng Sheng behind Qi Ye, and continued: "I don't know what you are talking about, Qi Ye. We are just a few small reporters. If you don't believe me, Qi Ye, there is nothing I can do."

The smile on Qiye’s face remained unchanged, he touched the tiger’s head of the cane twice, then lightly lifted the cane and fell back to the ground, Geng Sheng behind him immediately took a step, and the dagger in his hand had already rested on the ground. At Jiang Qiao's neck, Jiang Qiao's face paled immediately, his body stiffened and he did not dare to move, for fear of getting hurt if he was not careful.

"Qiye, didn't you just say that we are guests? Now you mean that you don't want to entertain us? Then you can speak up, and we will leave without saying a word, and there will be no delay " Xun Youling didn't intend to look at Jiang Qiao at all, and stared closely at Qi Ye who was sitting in front of him the whole time.

"I treat the three of you with courtesy, but obviously you don't appreciate it. Although I am not too old, I still have some prestige. Now I am riding on the head of three juniors. This word spread, my old face Where to put it?"

"Now that you don't want to say it, then I'll let this little brother suffer a little bit, and I'll have an excuse in the future." While he was speaking, Geng Sheng's dagger went in a little more, and Jiang Qiao's neck immediately stuck to his neck. There was a trace of blood.

Jiang Qiao had a bit of backbone, so he didn't make a sound even at this time, just closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, letting the situation develop.

"They didn't leave." Ji Xinxi spoke at this time, her voice was not loud, but it was very clear in this room, maybe it was the reason for her clear voice.

Qi Ye's eyes turned from Xun Youling to Ji Xinxi, and the smile on his face widened a bit and he said: "I just like to talk to people who understand things. You said they haven't left? Then why are there so many people in the whole village?" No one of them was seen, and no one was seen in the campsite of the ancient tomb."

While he was speaking, he hooked his finger towards Geng Sheng twice. Geng Sheng snorted coldly, then retracted the dagger, and stood still behind Qiye again. Jiang Qiao was able to escape, and immediately reached out to touch his neck. When Ji Xin said what he said in the past, he was only scratched a little.

Seeing that Jiang Qiao was fine, Ji Xinxi said again: "They are not above, but below."

"Down? You mean they went down to the tomb? They haven't come up after so many days? Judging from the supplies they left at the entrance of the cave, they don't plan to work under the tomb for a long time. Are you trying to deceive me? "Qi Ye's glasses were completely white under the light, making it difficult to figure out his true thoughts at the moment.

"Whether Qi Ye believes it or not, they really have no plans to work in the tomb for a long time, and there are compelling reasons for this."

When Ji Xinxi said this, Lord Qi didn't talk to him, but just slightly nodded his forehead to signal Ji Xinxi to continue talking.

"All the previous work was going on normally, but a day ago we found out that they had lost contact collectively, and hadn't received any prior contact before that, so we organized the second batch of teams to come here to support, but It seems that you are one step ahead of us, so you must be more aware of the situation here than we are." Ji Xinxi briefly explained the matter, but concealed Cheng Wenxing's weird phone call.

Everyone in the room was waiting for Master Qi to speak. Master Qi lowered his head and tapped his fingers on the crutches. After a while, he got up and said: "Thank you for your cooperation." Then he went straight out without saying anything more. After leaving the room, Geng Sheng glared at the three of them, and quickly followed them out.

"Qiye, is what they said true or not? Why does it sound so mysterious to me that the entire archaeological team just disappeared out of thin air?" Geng Sheng asked cautiously.

"Really, I'll know when I get down to the tomb tomorrow, everything is ready, don't make trouble for me again tomorrow!" Master Qi gave Geng Sheng a cold look.

"Don't worry, Seventh Master, I've checked everything myself, and everything is ready." Geng Sheng quickly replied.

Seeing Master Qi nodding, his expression relaxed immediately, and he asked again: "What should I do with the three people in that room, do you want to..." He gritted his teeth and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Don't worry, it's still useful to keep these people. When we go to the tomb tomorrow, let them take the lead and scout the way for us." After saying these words, Qi Ye turned and went to his own room.

Geng Sheng wiped the sweat from his head, and said to the person standing at the door of Ji Xinxi and the others: "Everyone, watch out and put him in jail!"

The person at the door straightened up and answered yes, then closed the door of the room again.

Ji Xinxi and the three of them pricked up their ears to listen to the movement outside, and heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the footsteps going away. Jiang Qiao sat down on the ground and sighed: "I was really scared to death just now. I really thought I was going to explain it here."

Xun Youling looked at him and said, "The knife was on your neck just now, and you never thought of begging for mercy?"

"How can that be? Although I may not be as flexible as yours, I still have the backbone and blood of a man. The big deal is a big scar. After 20 years, I will be a good man again!" Jiang Qiao raised his head and said. .

"If a few words of begging for mercy can save my life, then I must immediately abandon those meaningless things. After all, I can only talk about them after I am alive." Ji Xinxi sighed helplessly at Jiang Qiao. After all, he had too little experience. To say such childish things.

Jiang Qiao was taken aback by Ji Xinxi's words, and didn't know what to say for a while, Xun Youling took over the conversation: "Both sides are correct, but their personal pursuits are different. I am an ordinary person, and I stand on my little Ji's side. .”

Ji Xinxi glanced at Xun Youling, and said softly, "You heard what was said outside just now, tomorrow they will use us as a pathfinder, originally they just took a look and left, now it seems right and wrong The tomb is gone."

"Not necessarily. Let's see the situation first, and no one knows what's going on under the tomb. Maybe the people from the archaeological team are just trapped below. In fact, it's not a big problem. As long as we survive tomorrow The second batch of people from the archaeological team will be ushered in, and things may not be as bad as we imagined." Xun Youling thought while rubbing his chin.

Now they had no choice but to think on the bright side. The three of them stopped talking and each lowered their heads to think about their own affairs.

About 2 hours later, Ji Xinxi did not relax her vigilance. Now that they are in someone else's territory, everything must be cautious. She has been paying attention to the movement around her, and found that there is no movement around. It seems that this group Everyone is already fast asleep.

She and Xun Youling looked at each other, and seeing that the other person was thinking about the same thing as herself at the moment, she not only slightly hooked the corners of her mouth.

Xun Youling kicked Jiang Qiao, who was leaning on the bed half asleep, handed over a piece of wood they broke off from the bed, and whispered: "Wait, we will trick the guards outside the door, look When the time is right, hit him on the back of the head with this, and try to make him fall to the ground with one blow, do you hear?"

Jiang Qiao took the stick in a daze, and said slowly, "Why am I here?"

"Nonsense, you are the only man among us. If you don't come, do you still expect us to do it? You only have this strength to use, can you do it?" Xun Youling patted Jiang Qiao on the back of the head angrily.

"I see, I will do my best!" Jiang Qiao rubbed his head to cheer himself up, and stood up holding the wooden stick.

After arranging everything, Xun Youling came to the window, opened the window and saw that there was a guard standing outside the door. The man looked tired, obviously very sleepy.

"Brother, I want to ask, where is the ancient tomb we are going to tomorrow?" Xun Youling asked with a smile.

The man looked at Xun Youling out of the corner of his eye and said nothing. At this time, Ji Xinxi also came to the window and said, "Don't ask him, he won't tell, and at his level, At most, it’s just one of them, and they won’t know too much.”

A cold snort came from the man's mouth, he turned around and looked at the two of them and said, "I don't know what kind of medicine you sell in your gourd, but I advise you to save some effort, the ancient tomb is at that location, just It’s okay to tell you guys, I’m going down tomorrow anyway.”

"Oh~ over there, big brother, we haven't eaten anything all day, can you give us something to eat? Don't worry, I won't eat you for free. We still have a little information that we haven't disclosed yet. Come and exchange with you, so that you can show your face in front of your seventh master tomorrow." Xun Youling looked at the direction of the man's fingers and said coquettishly.

The man didn't speak, as if he was considering the truth of Xun Youling's words. Seeing this, Xun Youling didn't force it, and turned around and said, "If you don't agree, forget it. Anyway, if you don't eat for a day or two, you won't starve to death."

She and Ji Xinxi closed the window again, and when they returned to the bed, they listened to the movement outside the door with bated breath, and were delighted when they heard the sound of the door lock turning.

Sure enough, the man didn't hold back the temptation to open the door and walked in. As soon as he entered the door, the man was stunned for a moment, and said, "Isn't there another one of you? That man goes..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Qiao slammed the wooden stick on the back of his head from behind the door, and said sharply, "Behind you!"
