Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 826 Negotiation!

Although Hu Ming and his group were still quite far from the Mountain Moving Sect, the Mountain Moving Sect had already noticed their movements.

They quickly lay in ambush in the nearby bushes, seemingly preparing to attack Hu Ming and his group.

"Boss, what do we do? Those guys didn't get trapped in the ancient city ruins!"

Seeing that Hu Ming and his group were catching up, the people from the Moving Mountain Sect couldn't help but become nervous.

The person they called their leader was the one wearing the Taoist robe.

"Don't panic! Let's see what they're up to first! If they also want to go where we're going, then kill them!"

"Anyway, this is no man's land! Everyone can relax!"

As the man in the Taoist robe spoke, a ruthless look appeared on his face.

At his signal, his men drew their long knives.

However, they seemed to have underestimated the strength of Hu Ming and his group, considering that Hu Ming was currently being followed by Duke Richard's men.

Hu Ming was aware of the power of this Duke Richard, but he was unsure of the power of the nation.

In any case, almost everyone in their team was equipped with a gun, something that very few people in China would dare to do.

Soon, when Hu Ming and his group arrived at the hiding place of the Mountain Moving Sect members, they saw the Mountain Moving Sect members jump out and surround Hu Ming and his group.

Seeing that the other party had made the first move, Hu Ming frowned.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the Mountain Moving Sect! Although you're not direct descendants of the Mountain Moving Sect, you must have learned some of their methods. How come you're now acting like the Unloading Ridge Warriors? Not only are you robbing tombs, but you're also plundering and pillaging?"

As Hu Ming spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the person wearing the Taoist robe.

Upon hearing Hu Ming's words, the man in the Taoist robe couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.

"Tsk tsk, another fellow professional! May I ask who you are and what brings you here? I don't believe you're here for adventure!"

The man in the Taoist robe flicked his worn-out whisk as he spoke, pretending to be quite serious.

Who I am is not important; what matters is that we seem to share the same goal!

"If I'm not mistaken, you're going to that tomb, right?"

Hu Ming went straight to the point and stated the other party's purpose.

Upon hearing Hu Ming reveal their purpose, the group of Mountain Moving Sect members became even more agitated, glaring angrily as if ready to charge at any moment.

However, before the Mountain Moving Faction members could rush up, Juliet had already ordered her men to take out their guns.

"Let's see who dares!"

Juliet had been harboring resentment for a long time, and now she could finally get her revenge.

When Juliet and her men pulled out their guns, the Mountain Moving Faction members finally turned pale with fright.

One second they were acting like they were fearless, the next they were like scarecrows who dared not speak.

Even the leader, who was wearing a Taoist robe, seemed to back down at this moment.

"You guys have guns! Looks like we've run into some tough nut to crack!"

"Fine, fine! I'll give it to you this time! Let's go!"

As the man in the Taoist robe spoke, he began to call to his subordinates, preparing to leave.

Before they could take more than a few steps, Hu Ming's voice came from behind them. "Wait! Leaving like this isn't like the Mountain Moving Sect!"

"Aren't you interested in what's in that tomb?"

Hu Ming also began to test the waters. In his view, they would not have come for nothing if they were not absolutely certain.

Therefore, Hu Ming really wanted to know what kind of information they had, so that he wouldn't be so passive when he went down into the tomb.

"Mr. Hu Ming! Why waste words with them! Let me take care of them!"

Just as Hu Ming was about to get information out of the group, Juliet became impatient and fixed her gun.

But before she could fire, Hu Ming had already snatched the gun from her hand.

"You step back! I'll handle this!"

After Hu Ming finished speaking, he looked again at the person in the Taoist robe not far away. For some reason, Hu Ming always felt that the guy was hiding some secret.

Perhaps Hu Ming had become interested in this person ever since he saw the timekeeping drawing he left behind.

As Hu Ming finished speaking, the man finally smiled at him.

"Interested! Of course I'm interested! The stuff in that tomb is enough to feed us for a lifetime! So if you didn't have guns, I really wouldn't be willing to give it to you!"

A sly look appeared on the man's face as he said this.

Judging from the man's expression, Hu Ming knew that the other party would not give up so easily. Once they were let go, they might immediately turn back.

They might launch a surprise attack when Hu Ming and the others get down to earth.

So, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Hu Ming had a bold idea at this moment.

"Heh, looks like you've got a lot of information! How about this? We'll team up! We'll split the contents equally! You shouldn't have any objections, right?"

Hu Ming offered generous terms, but the man in the Taoist robe seemed unimpressed.

"Hehe, my friend, don't try to fool me. With your strength, even if you devour everything in this tomb, I wouldn't dare say anything."

"Now you want to share half with me? Forgive my bluntness, but I dare not accept it! I'm afraid I won't live to enjoy it!"

The person in the Taoist robe was clearly very intelligent, and immediately understood the pros and cons involved.

However, Hu Ming remained noncommittal about his idea.

In Hu Ming's opinion, the gold and silver treasures in the tomb were really nothing special. Even if those things were very valuable, Hu Ming would not be tempted.

The reason I said I wanted to split it 50/50 was to gain the other person's trust.

However, the other party seemed very wary and didn't take the bait at all.

"Hehe! I wouldn't dare take it either, but don't doubt it, I do intend to share half with you. However, what I need is the information you have. Now you can rest assured!"

Hu Ming knew that since the other party had brought so many people to raid the tomb, they must have more information about this place.

It might even be information not found in Duke Richard's records, which would be of great help.

Upon hearing Hu Ming's reason, the man in the Taoist robe finally frowned.

"Look! If we take over this tomb, the information you have will be worthless. Now I'm willing to exchange half of the tomb's contents for it. You won't lose out on this deal, will you?"

As Hu Ming spoke, his eyes involuntarily turned to look at the person in the Taoist robe.

Only then did the man in the Taoist robe finally begin to ponder.
