Although the change in Da Jinya's expression was fleeting, it was not hidden from Chen Ziyan's eyes. However, he did not show it, but looked at Hu Bayi: "It seems that you two already have a goal.
Ah."
"That's right." Hu Bayi didn't hide anything and said directly: "When we first went to the countryside, we heard that there was an ancient tomb in the nearby mountains. This time we planned to go and have a look."
However, Hu Bayi did not tell the whole story, and did not mention the specific location. Now that the two sides have a simple relationship, there is no need to talk about it, so there is no need to say this.
"Then why don't you give me a share?" Chen Ziyan rubbed the tea cup in his hand and said slowly: "I don't have anything to do these days, so I just went out with you two to see something."
He is 80% sure that if he goes there with him, he will be able to trigger new choices.
"This..." Hu Ba frowned suddenly.
He actually wanted to refuse. After all, tomb robbing is not a sightseeing tour, it is a matter of risking your life to gain wealth.
Even if there are no weird things in those ancient tombs, there must be many mechanisms, and the dangers here cannot be underestimated.
But before he could say his words of refusal, Chen Ziyan continued: "Of course, since you two have provided the location, I will not take advantage of you. Regardless of whether there is any gain from this trip, I will pay the required expenses."
Take all responsibility."
"Old Hu!"
When Hu Bayi heard that Chen Ziyan wanted to sponsor funds, Hu Bayi could still keep his composure, but Wang Kaixuan couldn't sit still!
In this way, they will have nothing to worry about this time!
We know our own affairs well, and with the three melons and two dates they have, they will really have to go through all the trouble if they want to make this trip.
Now that you have the money to take the initiative to pay the bill, why should you hesitate!
Hu Bayi naturally understood this, so he no longer hesitated and said solemnly to Chen Ziyan: "Thanks to Brother Chen for thinking highly of our brothers, let's do this together!"
At the same time, I secretly decided in my heart that even if there was no gain this time, I would bring Chen Ziyan back safely.
Seeing that the three of them had reached a cooperation, Da Jinya, who was left standing aside, couldn't sit still.
He looked at the three of them pitifully: "Master Chen, Master Hu, Master Fat..."
Seeing his appearance, Chen Ziyan smiled and joked: "How about Mr. Jin joins in and the four of us go on this trip together?"
"Master Chen, this is just a joke." Da Jinya refused without thinking and said, "You also know that I am weak and weak, so I can't cause any trouble to you guys."
He is not as ambitious as Chen Ziyan, who dares to fight with two people he just met and go to the grave.
This is no better than drinking and eating. It would be better if he didn't find anything good, but if he really found something priceless, he was afraid that he would lose it in the barren mountains and mountains.
"Then I'll trouble Lord Jin to wait peacefully in Sijiucheng. If this trip really pays off, I'll have to ask Lord Jin to help me."
Chen Ziyan had long expected that he would answer like this, so he was not surprised, so he stopped teasing him and talked about the reply that Da Jinya wanted to get the most.
To be honest, Chen Ziyan is not short of money, and the Changshengzhai in Panjiayuan was just created by him to collect antiques.
In addition, he thinks that Da Jinya is a good talent, and he already has the intention of taking him under his command, so naturally he will not snatch his little fortune at this time.
Hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Da Jinya immediately beamed with joy and raised his hands towards the three of them: "Lao Jin, I will be here in Panjiayuan, waiting for the three masters to return victoriously!"
If Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were the only ones to go, he was still worried about whether the two of them would be overwhelmed by the loss. But now that Chen Ziyan is also following them, as long as they can find the ancient tomb, they will definitely gain a lot from this trip.
.
Now that the cooperation has been negotiated, Chen Ziyan immediately took out a wad of banknotes and handed it to Hu Bayi without any ink.
"The two of us are experts in actual operation, but purchasing equipment is a troublesome matter."
This is the money left over from his purchase today, and it comes in handy now.
"This..." Looking at the thick stack of banknotes in his hand, Hu Bayi was in a daze.
Although there was no detailed calculation, based on the thickness alone, he estimated that it must be more than 10,000.
In today's era when the average salary is only one hundred and eighty yuan, there is no doubt that it is a huge sum of money.
Hu Bayi thought that Chen Ziyan's investment in shares would at most be responsible for round-trip travel expenses and the purchase of some materials and equipment. How could he expect that the other party would directly hand over the money to him?
To put it bluntly, if they took the money and ran away, Chen Ziyan would have no place to find them.
"Although we have known each other for a short time, we can be considered to be of the same mind. This friendship cannot be compared with this amount of money."
Chen Ziyan could probably guess a bit of Hu Bayi's thoughts and said to him with a smile.
Then the conversation changed and he continued: "Besides, you guys haven't been back for many years. As the saying goes, returning home in splendor means returning home in glory. It's not good to go back empty-handed. You have to bring some gratitude to the villagers."
"Just think of the remaining money as a temporary loan from me, and you'll pay me back after you find the treasure."
In a few simple sentences, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan have been clearly arranged.
There is no way to refuse.
Can they not want to go back decently?
That must be what I want!
Seeing that Chen Ziyan not only trusted him, but also thought so carefully, Hu Bayi was really moved and said sincerely:
"Okay, just do as Mr. Chen said. This money is a loan from our brothers, and you will definitely pay it back when you come back from this trip."
"Okay."
Chen Ziyan nodded with a smile.
The change in Hu Bayi's claim means further recognition of him.
After agreeing to meet here tomorrow morning, Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Da Jinya left.
Hu Bayi still needed to prepare equipment for this trip, so he rushed to a nearby shopping mall and purchased a batch of high-quality flashlights, candles, rope masks and other necessary supplies.
Of course, Hu Bayi did not forget Chen Ziyan’s reminder and bought a lot of supplies that were scarce in the mountains.
Under the leadership of Da Jinya, he went to the black market to exchange the remaining money and half of his and Wang Kaixuan's savings into national food stamps that were more practical for the villagers.
Early the next morning, Hu Bayi and his two friends, who had not slept well last night, came to Changshengzhai early with excitement.
"I said Master Chen, should we book the tickets now and leave overnight?" Wang Kaixuan was still outside the door, and his voice had already come in.
Since Hu Bayi changed his tune, he no longer calls him Brother Chen, but follows the trend and calls him Master Chen together with Lao Hu.
"Lao Hu, Fatty, are you ready?"
Chen Ziyan was carefully wiping a long black stick and asked with a smile.
"Everything is ready and ready to go at any time." At this time, Hu Bayi, who was following behind, also walked in and answered this question.
While talking, he saw the long stick in Chen Ziyan's hand.
After hesitating for two seconds, he still persuaded: "Mr. Chen, are you trying to use this thing to defend yourself? It's unusual to fight upside down in the grave. A long weapon is hard to beat with a short weapon."
Although this iron rod seems to be made of extraordinary material, it is nearly six feet long and is destined to be unable to be used underground.
After saying that, Hu Bayi took out an engineer shovel from his backpack and handed it over: "If you want to defend yourself, it's better to use this. Not only is it light and dexterous, it can be folded and hung on the waist, and the steel mouth is excellent. In critical moments,
No less than a weapon."
This was a pure steel folding engineer shovel that he accidentally saw when he was exchanging food stamps on the black market. It was a customized model specially supplied to the special forces.
The seller only got a handful of them by chance, and the price was one thousand. Without Chen Ziyan's support, just taking the engineer shovel would have cost him and Fatty.
"Lao Hu, do you think I am such an ignorant person?"
Chen Ziyan did not pick up the engineer's shovel, but held the iron rod with both hands and twisted it. The six-foot-long stick instantly turned into two three-foot short sticks.
