Chapter 242: Zhao Yanxi
"Mr. Xu, I have to admit that you have successfully aroused my interest. Jiang Lai smiled, "Okay, I promise you to work together." ”
"Refreshing!" Xu Dongling frowned and smiled, "Since everyone is in the same boat, then I won't hide it from you." I'm sure you've noticed that the extinction of the Cotton Beast and the incident of Song Huang both happened thousands of years ago, almost at the same point in time. It can be inferred that after Song Huang launched a rebellion, the emperor at that time was not able to solve this trouble, so Song Huang was rampant for more than 20 years. It wasn't until later that the mysterious powerhouse appeared. I was thinking that it must have been the mysterious powerhouse who found the emperor at that time and put forward conditions. He helped to solve Song Huang's scourge, and in return, the emperor had to destroy all records of the beasts. That way, everything makes sense. ”
"Have you found out the identity of that mysterious powerhouse?"
"No!" Xu Jie shook his head, "In the historical documents, there is no record of him. I think that Song Huang is an emperor in history, but there is very little information about him, and after more than a thousand years, few people know about his existence, which may also be because of the mysterious powerhouse, his true deeds have been erased from history. ”
"If we can find the general's tomb, we may find some valuable clues. ”
Jiang Lai nodded, it was rare to discover the secrets of those mysterious patterns, and if it went well, he might be able to unlock the secret of the tattoo on his back.
"Mr. Xu, where are you going to start?"
Xu Dongling looked at the rolling peaks around him and said, "This area is very large, and it will probably take a lot of effort to know the exact location of that ancient tomb." It's getting late now, and everyone has been busy all day, so it's better to go back and rest first, and then continue tomorrow. ”
"It's good!"
When Jiang Lai returned to the villa, it was already evening, and the sky was getting darker and darker.
Pushing open the door, I saw that the room was empty, and I didn't know where Ye Furui went. At that moment, he took out his mobile phone and called the other party. A few minutes later, he took the elevator alone to the restaurant on the third floor.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a lot of guests gathered in the restaurant, all in suits and leather shoes, wearing expensive dresses, as if holding a grand event, and the atmosphere was lively.
After observing a few glances, Jiang Lai finally found Ye Furui's whereabouts, and then walked over. At this time, the latter sat at a table for two, on which there were still uneaten desserts. On the dining chair beside her, there sat a young man with a slender figure and a handsome appearance, dressed in a straight white casual suit to set off his extraordinary temperament.
The young man was smiling and kept talking, although Ye Furui tried very hard to keep smiling, but anyone could see that she was a little impatient.
"Mr. Zhao. Seeing that the other party kept talking, Ye Furui interrupted politely and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my friend is here, and I invite you to ......."
The words were not finished, but any interested person could understand the meaning of her words, but the young man did not mean to get up at all, but smiled: "Miss Ye, your friend is here, anyway, there is no place to sit here." ”
Hearing this, Ye Furui held back the unhappiness in her heart and nodded, "Okay, since Mr. Zhao is unwilling to give up his seat, then you can sit slowly." After saying that, she stood up, ignored the other party's retention, and walked straight to the dining table not far away.
As soon as she sat down, Jiang Lai appeared beside her, and the latter looked happy, "Where have you been all day, and you haven't seen a single figure." ”
"There's something to deal with, have you eaten? I'm dying of hunger after a busy day, and I don't get a drop of water. ”
"Waiter. Ye Furui hurriedly called the waiter and helped order a steak and pasta.
Before the meal was served, Jiang Lai raised his eyes and looked around, searching for the familiar shadow. However, from the beginning to the end, he didn't find the person he was looking for, "Lin Shiyu hasn't come yet?"
"It's coming! I just seemed to have something to do on the spot, and I was called away by a few people. Don't you patronize to see her, haven't you noticed that there are many familiar faces on the field?"
"Is there one?" Jiang Lai shook his head, to be honest, he didn't know anyone except Ye Furui.
"No, it won't. Ye Furui opened her mouth wide and looked at him with a surprised face, "Are you sure you're not from Mars?
"I'm sorry, I didn't have that spare time. ”
Jiang Lai retracted his gaze, unwilling to waste his energy on this group of people.
A short time later, a filet mignon and a pasta were served, and in less than five minutes, the two main dishes were eaten. Taking the napkin handed by Ye Furui, Jiang Lai wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth, and he was still a little unsatisfied. It's not because the cooking is good, it's mainly because I'm hungry!
He didn't understand that with his current cultivation, he had already transcended the realm of mortals, and even if he didn't eat or drink for a few days, he wouldn't feel hungry. However, I don't know why, as his strength gets stronger and stronger, his hunger becomes more intense, and he feels hungry and panicked without eating, and his body even produces a long-lost feeling of tiredness.
Thinking about it, he really couldn't figure out what the problem was.
"The person who sat with you just now was your friend?" Jiang Lai took out a cigarette and asked casually. Seeing the no-smoking sign posted on the wall, he shrugged helplessly and put the cigarette to his ear.
"He's my friend, I don't know him, I have to be cheeky and refuse to leave, what can I do. Listening to his introduction, he seems to be called Zhao Yanxi, specializing in antique trading. ”
As soon as the words fell, the young man named Zhao Yanxi walked over to this side again, and when he got closer, he brought a chair and put it next to the dining table, and it was still close to Ye Furui, and sat down.
"Miss Ye, this is your friend? Tell me about it. ”
"You ......" Ye Furui frowned slightly, and her dissatisfaction was all written on her face, but the person did not have the slightest self-knowledge, but looked at Jiang Lai with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Zhao. She said expressionlessly: "We are here to talk about some private things, and please avoid it." ”
"It doesn't matter. Jiang Lai suddenly answered, looking at Zhao Yanxi with a smile, "Since Mr. Zhao is interested in listening to our chat, let him sit down, I believe that Mr. Zhao and I will have a lot of common topics." Mr. Zhao, do you say?"
Zhao Yanxi was slightly stunned, then laughed, and said with deep meaning: "Mr. Jiang is really an understanding person. ”
