Chapter 20 Find a guide

"Mr. Xu! Before I came, my wife told me to take good care of you! It's both my job and my commitment, so I have to be there for you. Jiang Jie looked at Uncle Xu firmly and said to him.

We didn't expect Jiang Jie, who was obedient to Uncle Xu's words all the way, not to listen to Uncle Xu this time.

I saw Uncle Xu pursed his lips, and said with a little helplessness: "Okay, if you want to follow, just follow." But I don't need you to take care of it, you just take care of your own safety. ”

Jiang Jie said a little stubbornly: "Mr. Xu, you don't have to worry about this, I will take care of myself!" ”

Tanzi listened to the conversation between Uncle Xu and Jiang Jie, and was a little secretly happy in his heart, and whispered to me, "Did you hear it?" ”

"Hear what?" I wondered, I wondered what the altar meant.

"This Jiang Jie was arranged by Xu Yunshu and her mother, and it is definitely not Uncle Xu's lover. She can't just push her husband into the arms of other women, and make herself a love rival for no reason, right? Jar said.

"And then? Do you have hope? I asked the jar.

"Hopefully, it's still so big, but listening to them say this, I feel a lot better!" Jar said.

I turned my head and asked, "Didn't you say that you don't care even if she was a junior?" ”

"That being said, after all, you have to prepare for the worst! Of course, no one would refuse things to go in a good direction, right? ”

Over there, Uncle Xu was asking Cao Fenghua and the others about the progress of their work in the past two days, after all, they arrived here earlier than us, and they were on a mission.

"How's the investigation going?" Uncle Xu asked.

Cao Fenghua reported: "These days, we have been investigating and probing near the Hidden Fog Mountain, and since you have been warning us not to act rashly, we only dare to investigate outside the mountain; At the same time, I also sent someone to inquire with the local residents near the Hidden Fog Mountain......"

"What did you find?" Uncle Xu asked.

Cao Fenghua shook his head: "The Hidden Fog Mountain is exactly the same as the rumored one, it is foggy all day long. We used aerial photography to shoot at high altitude several times, but the fog was too thick and we didn't see anything. Directly control the drone into the mountains, and soon lose the signal. It stands to reason that any drone that loses signal will automatically navigate back, but every time the drone we sent out was lost in the sea, several drones were lost. ”

"Have you figured out the route into the mountain?" Uncle Xu asked Cao Fenghua.

Cao Fenghua replied: "After inquiring clearly, we also specially found a local guide." ”

"Local Guide?" Uncle Xu turned his head to look at Cao Fenghua and asked, "Didn't you say that no one can come out of the mountain alive?" How can anyone still know the road in the mountains? ”

Cao Fenghua said: "That's just a legend. In fact, the really terrifying place of the Hidden Fog Mountain is in the deep mountains, and there is nothing to do for a few miles after entering the mountain. ”

Uncle Xu nodded.

Cao Fenghua then said: "Do you want me to find that guide, you ask?" He's in Wangu too! ”

Uncle Xu waved his hand: "Don't ask, I'll set off tomorrow, and I asked if there was anything I didn't understand on the way." ”

Cao Fenghua said: "But I heard from the guide that there is another group of people here these days to inquire about entering the mountain. ”

When Uncle Xu heard this, he immediately became alert: "There is another group of people who want to enter the mountain?" What did they go into the mountains for? ”

Cao Fenghua said: "It seems that he is also looking for some kind of palace!" ”

When Uncle Xu heard Cao Fenghua say this, he immediately changed his mind: "You call that guide over immediately!" ”

The guide hired by Cao Fenghua is called Peng Lian, a person from a village near Yinwu Mountain, who has been farming at home, and he looks like an honest person.

Uncle Xu stared at Peng Lian for a long time. Listening to Cao Fenghua, the person in front of him is a big boss, rich and powerful. He looked at himself like this, which made Peng Lian feel a little uneasy, at a loss, and didn't know what to do. Then Uncle Xu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, let's just talk casually." ”

Hearing Uncle Xu say this, Peng Lian's tense body eased slightly.

Uncle Xu motioned for Peng Lian to sit on the sofa, and then poured him a cup of tea himself. Peng Lian hurriedly took it, holding his hands on his lap, waiting for Uncle Xu's question.

Uncle Xu picked up a box of cigarettes from the coffee table, took one out of it and handed it to him: "Do you smoke?" ”

Peng Lian hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, this won't!" ”

Uncle Xu lit a cigarette and asked straight to the point: "Actually, I didn't have anything else to do with my brother today, but I heard that in addition to us these days, there are other people who want to enter the mountain, is there really such a thing?" ”

When Peng Lian heard that he was asking about this, he was also relieved and said, "There is indeed such a thing!" Those people came from front to back with you, and when they arrived in the village, they asked around how to enter the mountain, and if there was any such thing as the Luo Wang's palace in the mountain. ”

"And what did they all hear?"

"This ...... It's about the same as you, and they've inquired about all the things you know anyway. Peng Lian said.

"Who are they?" Uncle Xu asked again.

"It's hard to say who they are, but it seems to be similar to these people who came first...... Peng Lian pointed at Cao Fenghua and said, "All of them are quite strong, and they are quite refreshing in speaking and doing things." ”

Uncle Xu and Cao Fenghua looked at each other, and they also had a rough idea in their hearts, those people should also be from military backgrounds, and guessed that they were also hired here by others.

"Did they go into the mountains?" Uncle Xu asked the last question.

"Not yet!" Peng Lian said, "They asked Erzhuzi from our village to be a guide, saying that they would contact him when the time came." But for the past two days, all of a sudden, there has been no faith. Erzhuzi also told me in the morning that it wouldn't be a deal in hand......

After sending Peng Lian away, Uncle Xu called me, Tanzi, Professor Jin, Jiang Jie, and Cao Fenghua to the room: "Judging from the information obtained by that guide, there is indeed another team coveting the Luo Palace. I can't wait any longer, or they'll be the first to go. I don't care who those people are, or what they are here for, as long as they dare to stop me from saving my daughter, I will not let them go...... Tomorrow we must set off, and we must not delay any longer! ”

Tanzi and I have nothing to prepare, of course, we hope that the sooner the better, how to say that both of us also have "time bombs" on our bodies, maybe when we will get sick. Naturally, no one else had any objections......
