Tomb raiding: It all started with the kidnapping of Yin Xinyue

Finally, he slowly asked, "Which other businesses in the seven northern provinces have accepted the bounty?"

The servant replied, "Master, there are no other clients for the time being."

Master Yin cursed again, "Useless! All of you are useless!"

"Raise the bounty to ten million, no, twenty million silver dollars!"

The servant breathed a sigh of relief, took the order, and was about to leave. "Yes, sir."

"Wait a minute," Master Yin added, "Go and find out which gang is the most powerful in the underworld, and see if we can ask them to do this."

At this time.

Suddenly, the henchman standing nearby said, "Master, the most powerful force in the Green Forest is Changsheng Mountain."

"They commanded all the bandits with titles in the six southern provinces, seven northern provinces, and thirteen provinces."

Master Yin then asked, "Who is in charge of them?"

The servant replied, "The chief of Changsheng Mountain is the leader of all bandits in the world, and also the current leader of the Unloading Ridge gang, named..."

"Chen Yulou!"

Upon hearing such a prestigious title, Master Yin's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly ordered, "Good, good!"

"Contact him immediately and have him mobilize all the businesses across the thirteen provinces. They must bring this kid and Yin Xinyue back to me!"

"Yes!"

His subordinates agreed and left the room.

......

The train journey took five days and four nights.

Finally, it slowly pulled into Changsha Railway Station.

After Li Xiaohu and Yin Xinyue got out of the car, they couldn't help but sigh, appreciating the fresh air outside and the sense of security they felt from being grounded.

Five days of travel.

Even Li Xiaohu's face rarely showed signs of fatigue, let alone the haggard Yin Xinyue standing beside him.

At this point, he didn't even feel like cursing Li Xiaohu anymore; he just wanted to find a place to take a good shower and get some sleep.

But Li Xiaohu had no such intention.

I just got off the train.

They immediately looked for a car to get to their next destination.

Helpless, Yin Xinyue asked, "How much longer do we have to walk?"

Li Xiaohu replied, "We'll be there soon."

When leaving the train station.

I happened to see a group of soldiers walking into the train station.

Dozens of soldiers lined up to form a road, respectfully welcoming a dashing officer in an overcoat.

Li Xiaohu looked over curiously.

They discovered that he was actually Zhang Qishan, the current leader of the Nine Gates in Changsha!

Somehow.

Zhang Qishan suddenly turned to look at him, and their eyes met instantly!

Facing Zhang Qishan's piercing gaze, Li Xiaohu did not flinch at all, but instead smiled confidently.

But soon.

Zhang Qishan withdrew his gaze and, surrounded by soldiers, continued walking into the train station.

He turned around and instructed his adjutant, "Go and find out who those two are. That man doesn't seem like a simple person."

His intuition told him that the person was no ordinary person!

The adjutant nodded in agreement.

Yin Xinyue asked curiously, "Who is that guy? He's got such a big attitude."

Li Xiaohu replied with a smile, "He's the garrison commander of Changsha, the highest-ranking official in the city! How could he not be arrogant?"

Yin Xinyue had no concept of this official position and shook her head blankly.

Li Xiaohu never expected that his first encounter with the Nine Gates would be under such circumstances.

I wonder what it will be like when I actually deal with them in the future.

After leaving the train station, the two asked local porters and quickly found a freight truck heading to Xiangyin.

Li Xiaohu paid some money and asked the driver to give him a ride.

Nothing was found.

A military-plated car followed them the whole time.

Only after watching him leave Changsha did they slowly turn around.

The truck bumped along the way.

Yin Xinyue suddenly regretted why she had to suffer like this with Li Xiaohu.

Wouldn't it be better to just go back to the Crescent Moon Hotel and enjoy your wealth and luxury?

But things have come to this point.

She had no room for regret.

Fortunately, just as Li Xiaohu had said, they arrived at their destination in just over half a day.

Li Xiaohu still had a conscience; as soon as he arrived, he found an inn.

"You stay here for now, I'm going to find someone."

Yin Xinyue no longer had time to care what he was up to; she just wanted to take a good, refreshing bath.

When she finished washing up, she found that Li Xiaohu had already returned, but his expression was slightly off.

His face, which had been full of confidence, now seemed to show a hint of unease, or even... fear?

I couldn't help but be curious.

Who could make a shameless scoundrel like Li Xiaohu show such an expression?

He then asked, "Who did you go to see?"

"Ugh."

Li Xiaohu sighed helplessly, forced a smile, and replied,

"An old friend I've known for a long time."

"Old friend?"

Seeing Li Xiaohu's evasive behavior, Yin Xinyue became even more curious.

"Who exactly is this person?"

You seem a little scared.

Li Xiaohu smirked and said, "Stop talking nonsense, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"

But the more he said that, the more Yin Xinyue wanted to know.

Just as he was about to ask another question.

"Li Xiaohu!"

Suddenly, a loud and clear female voice came from outside.

"Your death has come!"

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

Upon hearing this voice, Li Xiaohu instantly tensed up, even adopting a fighting stance as he nervously faced the door!

Yin Xinyue still didn't understand what was going on with Li Xiaohu.

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang!"

The door panel was kicked away from the outside with a loud crash, and the door panel went straight for Li Xiaohu!

A beautiful woman dressed in a red outfit stood outside the door, and then followed closely behind, brandishing five throwing knives in her hands!

Fortunately, Li Xiaohu was prepared and reached out his hands to catch the door panel!

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"
