People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Chapter 492 Cooperation
But Wu Laogou is an old Jianghu after all, so he quickly recovered.

And the moment he woke up, he immediately realized that his current situation was very delicate.

Since Chen Ziyan dared to reveal his purpose in full, he must have been prepared. If his next response was slightly wrong, he might be attacked by the other party.

Wu Laogou didn't have the slightest doubt on this point. From the people Chen Ziyan had done in the past, he could see that this young man was not an indecisive master, and he was more decisive than anyone else if he really wanted to do it.

This made Old Dog Wu cry secretly in his heart. He just wanted to get some more clues, but he didn't want to get such a terrible answer directly.

Feeling that Chen Ziyan was firmly locked on to his gaze, Old Dog Wu knew that the time left for him was running out.

After thinking for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Xiaoyou Chen's frankness is admirable. Since this is the case, I can't hide my old bones. In fact, I came this time to cover people's eyes and ears, and help an old friend attract attention."

In fact, Old Dog Wu didn't want to tell his purpose, but he knew better that if he didn't, Chen Ziyan might not be able to be fooled by the reasons he made up at random.

After all, although this person in front of him is not a member of the Nine Sects, he knows a lot about what they are going to do now, and by chance, he knows a lot of secrets.

Attract attention?

Hearing what Wu Laogou said, Chen Ziyan immediately thought of getting to know Master Jiu. After checking the timeline in his mind, he found that what Wu Laogou said should be the truth.

He remembered that after Xie Jiuye got rid of the pursuers, he hid the things he got from the Zhang family's ancient building in the ancient tomb discovered by the Wu family in Hangzhou.

Old dog Wu should have come here now, and it should be a cover for this matter.

However, Chen Ziyan did not accept it completely, but still maintained a trace of vigilance, looked at Old Dog Wu and said seriously:

"Fifth Master, if your old man doesn't mind, how about we act together next time, so that we can take care of him."

This is his condition.

Because he couldn't be sure what Wu Laogou said was true or false, he had to keep a hand.

You must know that the truest lie in the world is to mix the truth with lies. If there are nine truths and one falsehood, it will sound no different from the truth, but it will fatally mislead people in key places.

So Chen Ziyan simply put Wu Laogou under his nose, so that even if the other party wanted to do something, he had to think about whether he could bear the consequences of backlash.

A sharp light flashed in Wu Laogou's eyes. Although Chen Ziyan's tone was very polite, the meaning behind his words made him very uncomfortable.

I think he has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, it is not that he has done small things low-lying, but it is such a long memory, he did not expect to experience it now.

But the current situation is stronger than others, and Brother Ang also knows in his heart that as long as he doesn't want to formally quarrel with Chen Ziyan, then he'd better agree to the other party's conditions.

After his chest rose and fell slightly, Old Dog Wu let out a foul breath: "It is naturally a good thing to be able to take care of each other."

Even if Chen Ziyan couldn't see what Wu Laogou was thinking, he could guess one or two, so after hesitating for a while, he said:
"I wonder if Fifth Lord is interested in my plan?"

"Huh?" Old Dog Wu was taken aback when he heard the words, and frowned and looked at Chen Ziyan: "What does Xiaoyou Chen mean? Could it be that he wants to share a piece of the pie for me?"

Although he didn't know where Chen Ziyan's confidence came from, judging from what he knew about Chen Ziyan, this was not some reckless young man, but more like a seasoned veteran.

"That's right." Chen Ziyan nodded affirmatively, and said calmly: "This plate is a bit big, I'm afraid my family won't be able to eat it."

In fact, Chen Ziyan has always had doubts in his heart, that is, even if he can hold the snake mine in his hands, he may not be able to continue this situation in the future.

Although Li Wu, the general manager, is not like this, it doesn't mean that the Folklore Affairs Administration is the same.

He is not very optimistic about competing for power and profit with such a behemoth, but this is the task assigned by his father, so even if Chen Ziyan is doubtful, he must first do things well before talking about other things.

If it's really impossible to do something after the end, then it's not too late to give up.

But now the appearance of Wu Laogou gave him a new idea, that is to find someone to share the risk.

Even though the Folklore Administration is a giant, it doesn't mean it can't compete. The Xiling family can't do it, so what if they add nine gates?
Don't look at Jiumen's precarious appearance now, but as a traverser, Chen Ziyan knows that only the Xie family is really affected by this turmoil. Although the other families have paid a little price, it is nothing serious.

If it is really possible to pull Jiumen to this chariot through Wu Laogou, it will definitely do more good than harm for Chen Ziyan.

If others don't know the value of the snake mine, how can he not know.

The value of this snake mine is all on the black-haired snake inside, more precisely, the memory fragments passed down by the black-haired snake.

But it is difficult to extract these memory fragments, and only those with special talents can do it.

So the snake mine is only one aspect, and more importantly, the interpreter.

This is also the reason why Chen Ziyan didn't pay much attention to the Snake Mine, because he didn't know anyone who could read the memory fragments at this stage.

The only clear person Chen Ziyan knew was Wu Xie and Li Cuo, but Li Cuo was not born yet, and Wu Xie was just a little one.

Therefore, even if he had the snake mine in his hands, he would not be able to obtain the most important treasure, which caused the value of the snake mine to plummet.

If this is the case, then it is better to use part of the benefits to win over the Wu family. After all, we can know from the original plot that the Wu family is also capable of doing this.

Then why not directly win over this potential competitor, which can not only share the pressure, but also ease the discomfort in Wu Laogou's heart.

You must know that only interests are eternal. Under the circumstances of the same interests, the previous little friction is not worth mentioning at all.

Wu Laogou frowned even deeper, which was a surprise to him, but it was also a drug-hidden candy.

The weight of the Folklore Administration Bureau is there. If they really join forces with Chen Ziyan, it will not be free.

but……

Wu Laogou had to admit that this temptation was very strong.

It goes without saying that Chen Ziyan would rather have the consequences of falling out with the Bureau of Folklore Affairs. Needless to say, he could know how valuable it was.

"Phew, it's really an irresistible price." Wu Laogou smiled wryly: "I thought that after living for so long, I can already see through these mundane things, but I still can't do it if I don't want to."

He himself can really underestimate these things, but after careful consideration, Old Dog Wu discovered that this snake mine can be used as a family heirloom, and this kind of thing of leaving cards for future generations is the last thing people of his age can contend with. temptation.

In the face of such benefits, the corresponding crisis is nothing, and Wu Laogou is confident that he can handle it well before his death.

Hearing Wu Laogou's words, Chen Ziyan smiled.

Because it means that he has made a decision.

"Fifth Master, then wish us a happy cooperation in advance." Chen Ziyan smiled and extended his hand to Old Dog Wu.

"Hehe, I hope." Old Dog Wu also laughed.

At his age, he will not easily repeat his decisions, so he quickly put those negative thoughts behind him.

Chen Ziyan still didn't know what Wu Laogou was thinking, otherwise he would be able to guess based on this, what Wu Laogou did in the original plot.

Facts have proved that a community of interests is an extremely strong alliance.

The two who were still faintly confronting each other just now had already had a good chat when Li Wu came back.

This made Li Wu feel guilty in his heart, always feeling that these two people did something behind his back.

However, both Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou are experts in acting, and they have already sorted out their minds, and Li Wu didn't see any flaws.

After a short rest after eating, the group set off again to go underground. After arriving below, Li Wu immediately asked the staff:
"How is the situation now?"

The staff member who was asked immediately replied: "The snake group has begun to decrease, and it is obviously showing inertia."

"That's great!" Li Wu was not someone who didn't understand, and he was immediately pleasantly surprised when he heard the words.

The herd of snakes began to decrease and showed inertia, which was the expected good news.

This means that the situation has improved, and at the same time, one thing has been fulfilled, that is, the previous riot of the underground snake group was indeed related to those nephews on the ground.

But not everyone was delighted, and Old Dog Wu, who had switched camps, frowned unobtrusively.

If the matter was resolved like this, then his plan with Chen Ziyan would be hopeless.

On the other hand, Chen Ziyan didn't show any abnormality at all. He didn't even pay much attention to what the people around him were saying. Ever since he entered here, his gaze had been fixed on the black-haired snake outside the transparent glass wall.

Chen Ziyan had already thought about the fact that nephew Yun caused the snakes to riot, so he was not surprised by it, but he didn't think that nephew Yun alone could cause the scene in front of him.

Deep in the ground, there must be problems that they haven't discovered.

"Master Chen, what do you think of this?" At this moment, Li Wu suddenly looked at him and asked.

Chen Ziyan said without hesitation: "You can't relax your vigilance yet. The number of snakes outside has decreased but no new snakes have appeared. But look at the snake balls below. The scale has not weakened in the slightest."

This is what he just observed.

Hearing this, Li Wu immediately looked at the staff next to him, who quickly said: "We have been monitoring the Snake Ball all the time, but there is no way to conduct too detailed observations, so there is no clear report yet."

The implication is obvious, that is, it is not that the matter was not discovered, but that things that are not sure will not be reported easily.

Hearing what the staff said, Li Wu immediately knew that Chen Ziyan was right.

This made the smile on his face gradually subside, knowing that the situation has only improved, and it's not time to start celebrating.

At this moment, Old Dog Wu said suddenly: "It seems that if we want to find out what's going on, we still have to take a look."

Now he is no longer in the mentality he had when he came down last time, so he can no longer be that kind of onlooker.

"Well, Master Wu is right. If you don't go out, you won't be able to completely solve the problem here." Chen Ziyan followed up.

As an ally, it is natural to help speak at this time.

Li Wu sighed: "It seems that this trip will not be able to escape."

He is the one who most wants the matter to end here, but the situation before him is completely opposite, but he has nothing to do.

Chen Ziyan thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Li, you should have that kind of professional protective clothing here?"

"That's true, Mr. Chen, what do you think?" Li Wu asked.

Chen Ziyan said calmly: "I don't think we can get an answer if we continue to observe here. If the snake ball below is always there, we can still watch it here forever. If we have professional protective clothing, we might as well go out and observe closely." one time."

Now that the problems on the ground have been resolved, the possibility of external influence has been greatly reduced. If you want to explore further, you have to leave this underground base.

"Protective clothing..." Li Wu frowned and said, "Master Chen, to be honest, we haven't thought of this method, but the protective clothing can only resist the black-haired snake attack, but it can't prevent being entangled. The body is very heavy, and there is no way to get out by itself after being pulled into the snake ball."

He wanted Chen Ziyan to explore the way, but the problem is that he is the leader of Xiling Pirates. Although only two people came this time, it does not mean that there are no other people in Xiling. If there is a problem because of his concealment, the consequences will be disastrous. It's not something Li Wu can bear, so some things must be made clear in advance.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Besides, we are only active in the surrounding area. Now there are no new black-haired snakes." Chen Ziyan said indifferently.

He can know what Li Wu is thinking without guessing, but this is a problem that is difficult for ordinary people to solve, but it is nothing to him.

With his strength, even if he fell into the middle of the snake ball, it would be easy to get out.

Of course, the premise is that it's not a bottomless pit under the snake ball. After all, Chen Ziyan can't fly.

"Fifth Master, what do you think?" Li Wu didn't agree immediately, but turned to look at Old Dog Wu.

Although Chen Ziyan was very confident, who could tell about accidents, he felt it necessary to ask the third-party forces in the camp for advice.

In this way, even if there is an accident, there will be one more person to take responsibility.

It's better to be happy alone than to be happy together!
Old Dog Wu showed a pensive look, looked at Chen Ziyan, and asked directly: "Xiaoyou Chen, are you really sure?"

His current position has obviously changed, so some questions can be asked more directly.

Chen Ziyan cast a confident look at him: "Don't worry, Fifth Master, I won't do things I'm not sure about."

After getting Chen Ziyan's answer, Old Dog Wu looked at Li Wu and said, "Since Chen Xiaoyou is sure, let's give it a try. We can't just wait here passively."
