Because Chen Yulou deliberately lowered his voice, his words were only heard by the gentle woman who also had excellent ears, not even Hu Bayi and others who were in the same box.
This also led to the fact that after the box door was knocked, the few people inside were not prepared at all.
winter! winter! winter!
There was a steady and powerful knocking sound. After Hu Bayi and others looked at each other, Wang Kaixuan stood up and walked over.
"Are you looking for something?" The first thing this guy saw after opening the door was Adjutant Zhang. Just when he was about to ask who he was looking for, he saw the gentle woman standing behind him, so he changed his mind temporarily.
"Little brother, we are here to visit the senior inside." Adjutant Zhang explained his purpose with a smile.
Wang Kaixuan looked at Adjutant Zhang in front of him suspiciously, thought for a moment, then stepped aside and said, "Come in."
He said he was here to visit an old senior, so it was hard for him to stop him, in case he was really an acquaintance.
After Adjutant Zhang nodded to him, he stepped into the box door without any hint of guilt for eavesdropping.
Among the three, only Yin Nanfeng, who was still young, had slightly red cheeks, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable.
But no one would deliberately guess the little girl's thoughts at this time, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.
Chen Yulou was sitting in the main seat, facing outside. After hearing the movement behind him, he said without looking back: "Coming?"
Adjutant Zhang walked up to him and replied with a smile: "Yes, it made senior laugh."
The meaning of his words was very obvious, he was talking about what happened just now. If you are not as good as others, you will have to admit defeat decisively.
"It's okay." Chen Yulou looked calm, then pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit down and talk."
However, he seemed to have no expression, but he was secretly amazed in his heart, because as Adjutant Zhang approached, Chen Yulou also heard that something was wrong. This man's body seemed to be a bit special.
But he could only hear a little bit, but he couldn't tell what was special about it.
After sitting down, Adjutant Zhang felt uneasy at the same time.
Chen Yulou had always turned his back to them before, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but after seeing Chen Yulou's face clearly, he could no longer maintain the indifference in his heart.
Because this face...he has seen it before!
Although Chen Yulou has long lost the charm of his youth due to his age, as an adjutant from the Zhang family, he doesn't just judge people by their appearance, so after a little thought, he matched up with a face deep in his memory. .
At first, Adjutant Zhang thought it was some senior from Xieling who came with Xiao Shenfeng, who was once the bandit leader's personal companion, but he never expected that the person coming would be the bandit leader himself.
After thinking for a while, he took the initiative and said: "I don't know that Mr. Chen is here with a big head, so I hope you will forgive me for being rude."
Adjutant Zhang thought about pretending not to know the other party, but gave up the idea after hesitating!
The reason is also very simple, that is, Chen Yulou not only came to the Crescent Hotel, but also showed Xiao Shenfeng in front of the public.
This means that the other party has no intention of hiding his identity, so there is no need for him to do those things. It is better to have a candid chat.
Adjutant Zhang was in a good mood and was not nervous at all because of seeing Chen Yulou.
Because he knows very well that the gap between the two parties is no longer what it was back then. Now he can still have an equal dialogue with Chen Yulou in his prime, let alone the now aging leader of the Xiling Pirates. .
"Haha, I didn't expect that after so many years, someone would still recognize me!" Chen Yulou laughed immediately when he heard this.
But even Yin Nanfeng, who had the least experience, could hear the complex emotions in his laughter.
Adjutant Zhang responded with a smile: "I once had the honor to meet the boss."
He did not hide this, because there was no use in hiding it. When Foye planned that incident, the characteristics of the Zhang family were no longer a secret in the eyes of some people.
What's more, Adjutant Zhang also believed that the people in this box would not tell this matter casually.
Chen Yulou really didn't expect to get such a reply.
He could tell that the person's voice was very young. Although it had a more mature flavor, it was not much older than his nephew.
But now it seems that this guess was wrong. If the person in front of me has really seen him in person, then he must be at least in his twilight years.
If it were fashionable, it would be a remnant of the old era.
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Chen Yulou said calmly: "You can also find it in that place. If you have any ideas, just go and get it yourself."
When Adjutant Zhang heard this, he was not happy at all. Instead, he asked: "I would like to ask, how dangerous is the place that the chief said?"
It's not that Adjutant Zhang plans to go, he just wants to know.
"Ordinary people... will die without rebirth!" Chen Yulou said.
This was the conclusion he came to after listening to his nephew's description.
He felt that even at his peak, if he entered such a place, he would probably not be able to get out.
"Thank you for clearing up the confusion." Adjutant Zhang had an idea after hearing this.
He secretly made up his mind that Crescent Hotel would never get involved in this muddy water.
If the head of Xieling could say something like this, one can imagine how dangerous that place was.
Unless you can think of the contemporary spirit, that place will swallow as many lives as you want!
The two old people here were chatting about each other, and behind them, Hu Bayi and the others also gathered together and whispered.
Wang Kaixuan glanced at the gentle woman and Yin Nanfeng who were sitting quietly aside, and asked Da Jinya: "Master Jin, where are these two new people from? Why do I feel that they have a higher status than the woman who received us before?" ?”
Da Jinya rubbed his chin and informed a few people: "I know the identity of that little girl. She is the next head of the Crescent Hotel. As for the man, I don't know, and I have never heard of the Crescent Hotel. There is such a number one person in there.”
…
While they were chatting, Chen Zi, who had completed the last round of bidding and successfully won the last sky lantern, slowly walked into the box.
The first time he came in, Chen Ziyan saw Adjutant Zhang sitting next to his uncle, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
I wonder why this person came here?
But after looking at his uncle, he felt that he should have found the answer.
After all, they were from the same era, and they all stayed in the same area. Maybe they had interacted with them before.
Then Chen Ziyan no longer paid attention to them, but looked at the gentle woman and said, "How should the transaction be completed?"
Although today's expenses were high, Chen Ziyan had no intention of defaulting on the bill.
Firstly, although the price of this auction item is seriously high, if you collect it for a few years, you will definitely make a profit. Secondly, because of this thing, it is not worth it to directly offend the Crescent Hotel.
He was not the Wu Xie that he was later. There was a series of connections behind him, and there were people who helped him deal with the aftermath after he made a big fuss at the Crescent Hotel.
The gentle woman obviously didn't expect that Chen Ziyan's first words after seeing her were this. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly said: "Cash or things in exchange are fine."
When she talked about giving something for something, she still had a little expectation in her heart!
After all, Chen Ziyan has already confirmed that he is the descendant of Xiling, so who knows what good things he has in hand.
You must know that the most top-notch collections are valuable but not marketable, and they are far more meaningful to Crescent Hotel than money.
There is no way, as the most powerful auction house in the north, Crescent Hotel also has strong funds.
"Yes, I understand." Chen Ziyan nodded lightly.
He has never had the idea of equaling things with things. Wouldn't it be wrong for him to keep the good things for himself?
Then Chen Ziyan sat next to Chen Yulou, looked at Adjutant Zhang and said with a smile, "My name is Chen Ziyan, don't you know what to call me?"
He naturally knows the famous adjutant comrade, but he can't show it yet.
After all, the adjutant said he was in charge here, but this guy is a typical person who speaks in simple terms, and few outsiders really know about him.
"Zhang Rishan, nice to meet you!" Adjutant Zhang announced his name.
After getting to know each other for a while, Chen Ziyan looked at Chen Yulou: "Uncle, what are we talking about?"
Chen Yulou said: "Let's chat casually."
What could he have to talk about with this person? Are they just looking for excitement?
Chen Ziyan asked in his heart what is going on?
He felt that everything was so chaotic now. Everything was fine before he went out, but he didn't expect it to be like this now.
After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan decided to chat with Adjutant Zhang first. This guy was a confidant of Lord Fo, and he might be able to get some inside information.
"Brother Rishan, I wonder if your Crescent Hotel accepts blinds?" Several openings flashed through Chen Ziyan's mind, but he gave up on them all and finally chose this most concise and clear one.
When Chen Ziyan called out the title Brother Rishan, everyone except Hu Bayi and the others showed strange expressions.
In fact, this is normal, after all, the age gap between the two people is there.
But from a certain perspective, this title is also very suitable for Chen Ziyan, because their appearance looks about the same age.
"It's natural to keep the bright weapon." Zhang Rishan didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "Do you want to take action against us?"
This was really something he didn't expect. After all, according to his understanding of Chen Ziyan and the others, this group of people usually put exposed weapons in museums, and some of the few that took action could also be solved with the big gold tooth.
"That's right." Chen Ziyan nodded.
In fact, this idea has been lingering in Chen Ziyan's mind for a long time. After all, he really needs a stable and reliable partner.
Especially the places they are going to later are basically undeveloped, and there are definitely many antiques and artifacts in them. Most of them are not suitable for museums, so taking action becomes the only way out.
There are only a few people who can accept such cooperation, and the most reliable among them is naturally Crescent Hotel.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why Chen Ziyan came here today. His lighting of sky lanterns may not be a deterrent for the subsequent negotiations.
"Then let's talk about it then. I usually don't get involved in this kind of thing." Zhang Rishan thought for a while and said.
Naturally, he would not refuse this kind of high-quality cooperation that came to his door. Didn't he see the gentle woman next to him and give him a crazy wink?
"That's good." Chen Ziyan said no more after hearing this.
He wants to establish a long-term cooperative relationship, so there must be many areas to discuss, and now is really not a suitable place.
"By the way, I wonder if Brother Chen has any plans for the next step?" Zhang Rishan looked at Chen Ziyan and asked.
Since Chen Ziyan had already called out Brother Rishan, he had to give him face, so he decisively used this title.
Chen Ziyan didn't care about it. He was mainly thinking about Zhang Rishan's intention.
He didn't think the other party would ask casually.
After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyan said: "We will take a break for a while, and we have a plan to go out for inspection."
The so-called outing inspection is naturally the project of Xianwang Tomb.
However, Chen Ziyan has no intention of bringing others to play with him. No one has ever entered King Xian's tomb, so it is undoubtedly a treasure for them.
As for treasures, Chen Ziyan naturally has no desire to share them.
However, before Zhang Rishan could continue, he and Chen Ziyan noticed that both Chen Yulou and the gentle woman looked like they were listening attentively.
This probably wasn't a coincidence, maybe the two of them had heard something.
Sure enough, almost a minute later, the gentle woman came over, looked at Zhang Rishan first, and reported: "Adjutant, something happened at Guazi Temple."
She had no intention of shying away from this.
Adjutant Zhang frowned slightly, and then asked: "What happened over there?"
"They found the bodies of many mercenaries." The gentle woman answered slowly.
"Mercenary? Corpse?" Upon hearing her answer, Chen Ziyan immediately thought of the strange situation he encountered at that time.
However, they had no casualties that time, so they seemed lucky enough.
"Mercenary, can you find out the identity of this group of mercenaries?" Zhang Rishan asked.
If he could find out this, he could follow the clues and find out who was behind.
He still couldn't stand this kind of secret cooperation with foreign forces, so he would take action if he had the chance.
But this time both sides collided, so he was even more unkind.
"The death was quite miserable, so it's difficult to find information that can prove his identity." The gentle woman said.
Hearing her words, Zhang Rishan turned to look at Chen Ziyan and asked: "Brother Chen, if possible, can you tell me what is there in the Guazi Temple!"
The trouble should end it.
If there is anyone who knows that place best nowadays, it is definitely Chen Ziyan and others.
Because they had just returned from a circle there, and the entire team was still unscathed.
Chen Ziyan pondered slightly, and then said: "My suggestion is not to send anyone there. As for the mercenaries who want to go, there is no need to worry about it, because it will be useless no matter how many of them go!"
He can say with certainty that as long as the person or corpse who secretly controlled it is still there, the Qixing Lu Palace will be an absolutely forbidden place. Unless it is crushed with absolute firepower, no one in the small team will be able to get there!
