The first thousand six hundred and sixty-six chapters deliberately support
Overall, there is indeed no more suitable candidate than Fourth Master in the Human Alliance.
Even though the tombkeeper didn't like him either, he had to admit that Fourth Master was capable in this area.
However, Xia Qingchen smelled something else.
The tombkeeper intends to re-establish the elderly group to balance the power between him and Xia Qingchen, right?
Xia Qingchen and the old man are both groups that the tombkeeper does not like. No matter which family is dominant, the tombkeeper will not like it.
Now that the old man was almost wiped out by Xia Qingchen, his power was unbalanced, so he should be supported a little bit to avoid losing even one person who could deal with Xia Qingchen.
"It is impossible for the chief tomb keeper to agree to this request, so let's make another request." The eighth tomb keeper said.
Xia Qingchen thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, it's fine if you don't let me exchange it in person, but you must let me accompany you throughout the whole process." Xia Qingchen still refused to give up.
The eight gravekeepers were crying. What is the difference between doing this and performing the task yourself?
With you here, does Chen Guangyi want to come back alive?
"It still doesn't work!" The eight tombkeepers turned their eyes and said, "Let's do this. I'll ask the chief tombkeeper for instructions first, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."
"Okay!" Xia Qingchen turned and left.
In this way, the eight tomb guardians finally breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed their aching head: "Hey, there is enough trouble!"
As a last resort, the tombkeeper was summoned immediately.
On the other hand, the town that used to be the center of the Human Alliance, which should have been prosperous, is now dead.
Most of the houses are vacant, silent and lifeless.
All thanks to Xia Qingchen, the old people who once occupied this place were slaughtered, and less than a hundred survived.
In the parliament hall.
In the messy hall, there were actually a few people sitting around the council table.
The leader is the fourth master, and the others are the old man's fish that slipped through the net. They are dressed in black robes and look haggard and wary.
"Fourth Master, did you have an order to summon us?" an old man said.
Another old man said: "If you have any instructions, please give them quickly. If you are exposed, Xia Qingchen's people will be attracted."
Xia Qingchen's people were hunting down the remaining old people. A few of them managed to escape the trap temporarily by hiding in Tibet. They received a summons from Fourth Master not long ago and rushed over immediately.
Fourth Master's face was indifferent: "Soon, you won't have to worry about Xia Qingchen's men."
Why?
The five old men all looked surprised. Now that things have happened, is it possible for them to make a comeback?
Fourth Master took out a secret letter, unfolded it, and pushed it to the center of the table.
The old people turned their heads to take a look, and one old man was surprised: "The tombkeeper has a secret mission, please help me?"
"Hiss! Chen Guang, the ninth tombkeeper, was captured by the demons? Didn't he tell the public that he went to Northern Xinjiang on official business?"
"This news is so exciting!"
"Once it comes out, the prestige of the tombkeeper will be greatly reduced, and it will also cause people to panic."
"Hahaha! Today, the tomb keeper even begged the Fourth Master, hoping that you would come forward to liberate the hostages!"
"Fourth Master, let's not agree. The gravekeepers are convinced that our old man was being slaughtered but stood by and watched. Why should we save people?"
"Yes! Reject the request!"
…
Fourth Master pressed his hand, his eyes showing the insight of years of experience: "Please me? You are overthinking it. There are many capable people to guard the tomb. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for them to send one of their own?"
"You can successfully rescue the hostages and keep the secret, so why bother asking me for help?"
A few old people tasted it carefully and found that this was true.
"The tombkeeper is carrying me up on purpose so that I can regain my strength to fight against Xia Qingchen." The fourth master really saw through the tombkeeper's intention.
Knowing this, the old people were even more upset.
"Then we can't agree!" an old man said angrily: "The tombkeeper clearly wants to take advantage of us!"
The fourth master, however, was calm and composed and said: "If you can increase your contribution value, why don't I agree?"
Several old people were relieved and asked with concern: "Is there any contribution value in exchanging hostages?"
Fourth Master smiled slightly: "Yes, and there are quite a few, with a full thousand contribution points."
Based on the current ranking of Fourth Master, the contribution value is a full 10,000, which is the result of twenty years of accumulation. Now, just a simple task of exchanging hostages can get 1,000 points.
Why not?
"Wow! So many!" An old man was envious, and then asked: "But the fourth master is already the first in the contribution list, and he is three thousand points ahead of the second place, so there is no need to score more."
However, Fourth Master waved his hand: "Have you forgotten that not long ago, Xia Qingchen made a name for himself and ranked second?!"
When he said this, everyone frowned.
Last time, Xia Qingchen almost surpassed Fourth Master and became the first in the overall list.
"But he is ranked last."
Fourth Master Ruo said with profound meaning: "Before the general intelligence list, he didn't even have his name."
After suffering a huge loss, Fourth Master was much more cautious about taking care of Xia Qingchen.
"That's right, we old people have suffered a lot from Xia Qingchen, so we can only be more careful in the future."
"Well, this time the envoy of the Kingdom of God finally couldn't stand his arrogance, corrected the chaos, and rearranged the correct ranking. We can't give him a chance to stand up again."
"So it was the wisest decision for Fourth Master to take over this task."
Didi——
Just as he was talking, the fourth master's messenger suddenly sounded.
When he picked it up and looked at it, he couldn't help but look heavy at first, and then he laughed: "Hahaha! The tombkeeper did a good job!"
Several old people were curious.
"Fourth Master, is there any good news?"
"It's not just good news, it's a happy event." The fourth master looked extremely pleased, showing a long-lost joy.
Several old people also smiled: "What a happy event, please share it with the younger generations."
The Fourth Master laughed: "This is a personal summons from the tombkeeper. He said that Xia Qingchen already knows about this secret operation and is trying every means to obstruct it."
"Then what?" Several old people suddenly felt excited.
Xia Saosao's reputation is too great. If he joins in, he will inevitably sweep them out.
"Then..." Fourth Master said in a long tone: "The tombkeeper rejected all his proposals regarding this operation and ordered someone to personally serve him twelve hours a day."
"Haha, I say I'm serving you, but actually I'm just keeping a close eye on you to prevent Xia Qingchen from getting in the way and ruining the important task of rescuing Chen Guang."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Did I hear it correctly? Does it mean that Xia Qingchen steals the chicken but loses the rice?"
"Isn't this too ridiculous? I didn't eat the mutton, so I made a fuss."
"Then he can only watch helplessly as our Fourth Master uses the hostages he captured in exchange for the gravekeepers he hates most, and then the Fourth Master increases his contribution?"
This is simply a slap in the face, and it’s the kind that makes a snapping sound! (There will be an update at 12 noon tomorrow.)
