Chapter 1988: Come Back Alive
In the lounge, the atmosphere is stagnant and suffocating.
The steward withdrew, very interestingly.
The four attendants looked at me cautiously with their eyes like swords, refusing to let up for a moment.
They had all seen me the last time they made a big fuss at Bai Jun's mansion, and they knew that I was not ordinary, that I was a good hand, and that the relationship between me and Simmons Locke was more complicated than they had imagined.
After all, Simmons Locke not only did not anger and kill people in anger at that kind of unreasonable demand, but fulfilled my demands one by one.
This alone made the four of them dare not act rashly.
Simmons Locke adjusted his breathing, calmed his mind, walked over with some heavy steps, and slowly sat down across from me, a pair of eagle eyes as if they could shoot countless arrows, piercing me through.
I knew that he still hated me for blackmailing him last time, so I smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, so don't come here harmlessly, Lord of the City." ”
Simmons Locke snorted coldly and said, "Okay? You extorted a huge amount of property, the treasury failed to turn around in a short period of time, and the overall strength of York Hancheng regressed more than one step, and I was anxious and sick for this, but you told me that you were okay here? ”
I smiled awkwardly and said, "That thing is a junior's confusion for a while......
"Confused?" Simmons Locke laughed out loud: "Okay, you are confused for a while, and you directly took away one-third of the annual income of our treasury, if you are not confused, will you ask for half of my Yorkhan country?" ”
"Don't worry, calm down, calm down, extinguish the fire, come, drink tea."
I persuaded as I handed over a glass teacup.
Simmons Locke did not hesitate, took the teacup, opened the lid, and it was a cow drink.
After drinking tea, he let out a long breath, and his anger disappeared a little, and after putting the teacup aside, his face was still not good-looking, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what is the matter with you secretly inviting me over this time?" ”
Instead of answering directly, I looked up and looked at the four followers standing in a row.
Simmons Locke laughed strangely, raised his hand, and drove the four out.
I'm also going to keep all the staff here.
When it was only the two of us in the lounge, I staggered to my feet, and Simmons Locke's brow trembled slightly.
After taking a step back, I bowed and saluted, "Junior, An Xiaoyi, meet my uncle." ”
After hearing the title of 'uncle', Simmons Locke finally couldn't continue to remain calm, his eyes widened, and he looked surprised: "How do you know about my relationship with Bai Yunying?" ”
"It was a friend who told the junior," I replied perfunctorily, and at the end, I explained: "Please forgive the junior for not revealing the identity of this friend to you." ”
Simmons Locke was startled for a long time, and slowly came back to his senses, his eyes flickered, and he shook his head for a while, nodded for a while, and at the end, he chuckled and said, "Well, this is not a secret in the first place, so why hide it." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at me and said with a complicated expression: "I thought you were just the righteous son of Master Dewey, but I didn't expect that your own energy was so huge that even the secrets of the Simmons family and the Fredd family were discovered. ”
"Huh?" I wondered, "Why don't you suspect that Master Dewey is there to help me?" ”
"Master Dewey doesn't go into the privacy of other people's homes," Simmons Locke said slowly, "at least he doesn't get into such gossip that doesn't matter to him." ”
"You really know Master Dewey," I complimented, "even better than I, the righteous son." ”
"After all, it's an old friend who has dealt with each other" Simmons Locke waved his hand and said: "Let's stop gossiping first, since you are close to me, I must have something to ask for me, for Bai Yunying's sake, as long as you don't go too far, I won't refuse." ”
"Then I'll thank my uncle here first."
With that, he bowed again.
Simmons Locke accepted my prayer with a big stab, and when the formalities were done, it was time to get down to business.
I went straight to the point and told him directly about the Gobi Desert.
Simmons Locke listened to this, muttered a little, and said, "It's true that there is such a map, but what use do you want it?" ”
"That's right," I said, "and under that Gobi Desert, there is a mausoleum buried. ”
"You want to rob the tomb?" Simmons Locke squinted at me.
"It's not right to say that tomb robbery," I said, "I was actually entrusted by someone to take the body of the tomb owner out of the tomb. ”
"Who is interested in a corpse?" Simmons Locke stared at me and said in a deep voice, "You can't be lying to me, are you?" ”
"I lied to you?" I'm puzzled.
"It's also possible that you have been deceived" he exhaled lightly and said slowly: "Our Zephyr Continent, seemingly ordinary, is actually extremely magical, with countless unknown existences, including countless calamities, some calamities appear in the form of abruptness, just appear out of thin air, while other calamities are artificially created, well, it should be said that it is more appropriate to be artificially activated, I doubt that you have been used by some bad organizations to dig up the remains of the tomb owner for them to activate some kind of calamity?" ”
I frowned, pondered for a while, shook my head, and said, "Probably not, with my current status and strength, there is no need to be attached to any organization group, and besides, the guy who asked me to find the body is not like the kind of evil person who will activate the calamity." ”
"Knowing the face but not the heart" Simmons Locke snorted coldly: "Do you know what his purpose is? ”
Seeing that if I didn't tell the truth, Simmons Locke would definitely not cooperate well, and after hesitating, I still told the matter of Fred Alexander's memory.
Obviously, Simmons Locke didn't believe that such a thing could happen at all, and in desperation, I pulled out the call crystal and contacted Master Dewey.
Under Master Dewey's explanation, Simmons Locke finally believed it.
Later, he promised to help me find the map, but he promised to return the promise, and he reminded me: "Although Fred Alexander was called the Holy King during his reign, who knows if he is still the same person after tens of thousands of years." ”
I take Simmons Locke's advice very seriously.
The map was quickly delivered, and it was a copy.
Simmons Rourke told me that it was too old to withstand the toss, and that there were some missing and broken places, and even if I really showed it, I was afraid that I would not be able to understand it.
Although this is a replica, it has been restored quite a bit, and although it is not completely accurate, it does not prevent me from looking for the tomb.
At the end, he told me again: "Although I don't want to say this, but you are my nephew and son-in-law after all, for Bai Yunying, you have to come back alive." ”
