Chapter 122: Native Slaves
"I'm afraid..." The middle-aged man looked embarrassed after hearing this.
Long Xiaoman stood up immediately, "If it doesn't work, forget it. We have plenty of money, but we are a little different from others, because I think the most beautiful moment for beautiful things should be the moment they are unearthed, and we
People in this line of work have never seen anything like this. If you still don’t trust us, then we’ll have to talk about it another day. Husband, let’s go!”
I also stood up, looked at the middle-aged man and said, "You don't believe me when I say it's a waste of time. No, you've made my wife angry again, eh..."
Then we were about to walk towards the door, but the middle-aged man stood up and stopped us, "You two, please stay!"
"What's wrong?" I looked at the middle-aged man pretending to be impatient and said.
The middle-aged man pursed his lips, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said, "Please wait here for a moment, and let me report this to the princess."
"Then hurry up, it's really troublesome!" Long Xiaoman glared at her and sat back angrily.
After the middle-aged man went out, we both let out a long breath. In the past, when watching TV, we just thought that actors could make money easily and just show their faces. But now we realize how difficult it is to be a good actor.
I think if the performance just now by Long Xiaoman and I could win an award, it would at least be at the level of an Oscar nominee.
I quickly asked Long Xiaoman, could the princess the man was talking about be Princess Three Thousand?
Long Xiaoman nodded and said, "It must be true. The Guifang tribe can only have one person who is qualified to be called a princess. I didn't expect that we are in the right place today. The three thousand princesses are also here."
I asked, is it possible that we really want to go and rob the tomb with the Three Thousand Princesses?
Long Xiaoman looked serious and said, "If Longchuan wants to report the news, he will definitely find Princess 3000. As long as we are with Princess 3000, we won't be afraid of not finding Longchuan, and..."
Long Xiaoman said, paused slightly, and then continued, "And I found that there is something wrong with the Guifang tribe. Although they have always used tomb robbing as their main method, the middle-aged man's words and deeds just now were a bit weird."
"After thousands of years of accumulation, the Guifang tribe has accumulated countless wealth, but I just offered a mere 200 million to make him tempted. It seems that there must be something wrong with them during this time.
At least it shows that they need money very much, which is very different from the Guifang tribe's past style, so I have to find out."
I thought for a while and then said, "Do you think this matter has something to do with the Northern Tang Sect?"
"Northern Tang Sect?" Long Xiaoman looked at me doubtfully.
I swallowed and said, "Master Tang Qi also appeared in Chengdu more than a year ago, and he stayed here and never left. Over the past year or so, you have indeed confirmed that Tang Qi really came here to do business.
No tricks were used."
"It stands to reason that big families like the Northern Tang Clan are definitely not short of money, but they have focused on business in recent years and are working hard to make money. The Guifang tribe is also the same. It seems that they are very short of money.
As for the money, do you think there is any connection between the two?"
Long Xiaoman frowned and thought for a while, then said slowly, "I hope your guess is wrong, otherwise if the Northern Tang Sect really has some kind of relationship with the Guifang tribe, it will be a huge disaster for the entire Xuan Shu world.
It’s going to be troublesome!”
While talking, the middle-aged man opened the door and walked in. Long Xiaoman and I instantly entered the performance state.
"You two are really lucky. Our princess would like to invite you both to talk!" The middle-aged man looked happy, as if something great had happened.
"Exactly!" I replied pretending to be careless, "Your princess is not the emperor. I have never met anyone. You don't understand that customers are God. You asked your princess to come here to talk to me."
"Be bold!"
The middle-aged man shouted fiercely, "How dare you speak rudely to our princess? You are seeking death!"
Following his angry shout, seven or eight people came in from the outside, and at first glance they were top experts.
I was also shocked. I was just trying to show off, but I didn't expect this person to have such a big reaction.
Long Xiaoman reacted quickly and said, "Don't be familiar with him. He is just like this. He relies on his own money and acts like a king of heaven all day long. Whether he wants to go or not, I will go with you to see the princess."
I waved my hand and said with a smile, "Are you kidding me? Why are you so angry? Why don't I just go? Hehe."
The middle-aged man waved his hand and asked those people to go out. Then he glared at me fiercely before turning around and going out.
I followed him, a little excited in my heart, and full of curiosity about this Three Thousand Princess who could make Brother Headphones lose his mind.
I think she should be a beautiful woman who will captivate the whole country, otherwise it wouldn’t make Brother Headphones look like another person.
After passing a long corridor, we came to a red door. The middle-aged man knocked on the door respectfully. After a while, the door slowly opened.
The person who opened the door was a skinny old man with a stooped back, and his clothes were no different from those of the villagers in the mountains. But the first time I saw this old man, my heart twitched hard.
Because this old man had the same eyes as Amu, and just glanced at me, I felt inexplicably nervous inside, and there was an inexplicable fear in my heart, like the instinctive fear of animals when they encounter natural enemies.
People with such eyes are basically those who have reached a level of cultivation that I can't imagine. Just from this glance, I concluded that this old man has at least as much ability as Amu.
The old man had no expression on his face, didn't say a word, opened the door and turned around to leave.
After walking around a screen, I saw a woman sitting on a mahogany chair, playing with an exquisite jade cup with three white fingers. She had a graceful figure, and her movements were breathtaking.
It's a pity that her face is covered with a white veil, so she can't see clearly. However, just based on her jade-like temperament and nearly perfect figure, it's not difficult to imagine her face.
It should also be of the type that brings disaster to the country and the people.
But the old man with eyes like a poisonous snake stood respectfully next to her. They were the only two people in the room. The middle-aged man did not even enter the room. Instead, he leaned over and backed out, and carefully opened the door.
Close.
"You two have come a long way. Even if this little gadget is just a little bit of my kindness, I hope you will accept it."
Princess Sanqian's voice was ethereal and melodious. As she spoke, she flicked her fingers, and the jade cup turned into a green afterimage and flew towards me.
Long Xiaoman pushed me away, raised one arm, drew a semicircle in the air, and caught the jade cup steadily, but was still shaken and took half a step back.
Even if I was standing nearby, I could feel the power of this move.
"Thank you Princess Sanqian for your kindness. You took care of it like this as soon as we met, so I had no choice but to accept it shamelessly." Long Xiaoman put the jade cup away with a slight smile.
"It seems that you two are really not ordinary people. Please sit down and serve tea to the guests." Princess Sanqian then asked us to sit down and talk.
The old man poured a cup of tea for Long Xiaoman and me. Because of his intimidating power, I felt very unnatural when he poured the tea for me, so I instinctively said, "Thank you, sir."
"Old sir?" Princess Sanqian burst into laughter.
I was confused and asked if there was anything wrong with calling me that.
Princess Sanqian smiled and said, "He is just one of my slaves. It's really ridiculous that you call my slave sir."
After finishing speaking, he said to the old man, "Tu slave, don't you think so?"
"Yes, Master, I am your most humble slave." The old man said humbly.
This moment completely confused me. How could a top expert be so groveling to others?
This kind of person can excel wherever he is placed. Even Long Zhiyuan will never have this attitude towards Amu.
Guards and slaves are completely different concepts. The former is a duty, while the latter means worshiping or fearing someone to the extreme, so that you are willing to be someone else's slave.
When I looked at the Three Thousand Princesses again, I couldn't help but feel inexplicable fear. A top expert like the old man was willing to be a humble slave for her. No matter what he was willing to do, it was hard to imagine the methods of the Three Thousand Princesses.
How deep it is!
"We have been keeping an eye on that big tomb for several years. We will go treasure hunting in the next few days. I heard that you two also want to go together?" Princess Sanqian asked.
I nodded and said, "Yes, I am a very curious person. In our line of work, we have seen countless rare treasures, but when it comes to tomb robbing...that is, what you call treasure hunting, I am new to it."
I’m sorry, so I want to go along and have a look at the excitement. If there’s really any interesting treasure inside, I can stay close to the water and get the first prize!”
After hearing this, Princess Sanqian laughed loudly, "Digging tombs and searching for treasures is not a child's play. If you are not careful, someone will die."
I curled my lips and said nonchalantly, "Then I have to go take a look. I want to know if there is anything else in this world that can threaten me."
As I said that, I tapped my hand on the table, and the teacup bounced up high. I grabbed it with one hand, took the teacup in my hand, drank the tea in one gulp, and said, "Good tea!"
At this time, I have to show my skills, otherwise these three thousand princesses will really treat me as a novice, and it will be troublesome if they change their mind and don't take me with them.
But after I showed my hand, I saw an imperceptible sinister smile flashing in the eyes of the old man who was called a local slave.
We decided on a time with Princess Three Thousand and decided to set off in three days.
After leaving the antique city, Long Xiaoman pinched my waist hard and said, "What a show off you were just now. This thing almost got you into trouble!"
I grinned in pain and said, "What's wrong with me?"
Long Xiaoman rolled his eyes at me, "You have the nerve to show off your three-legged cat skills in front of others. Just now I almost couldn't help but slap you against the wall."
I smiled at Long Xiaoman and said, "If I didn't act like a fool just now, do you think Princess Three Thousand would really not be on guard against us?"
Long Xiaoman thought for a while, then looked at me and said, "Well, not bad, you have become smarter!"
"Then, who asked me to be your husband..."
After saying this, Long Xiaoman and I blushed at the same time, feeling extremely embarrassed.
After a while, Long Xiaoman said, "Have you noticed the old man who was called a local slave by Princess Three Thousand?"
I nodded and said, "Why don't you pay attention? His eyes are more sinister than Amu's. I think his ability should be on par with Amu's."
A flash of worry flashed in Long Xiaoman's eyes, "What I'm worried about is that there is not only one such servant of the Three Thousand Princesses. If my guess is correct, there should be four more."
