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

"Oh?" Yin Xinyue looked at Li Xiaohu in confusion.

Li Xiaohu continued to explain: "Recently, there have been many battles in western Hunan, and the people are living in misery."

"Refugees and displaced people are everywhere."

"Chief Chen cares deeply about the people and has opened the granaries to distribute grain for disaster relief many times, which has caused the Xieling's resources to start to run dry."

"That's why I had no choice but to go out and rob tombs, hoping to find some treasures to replenish my family's wealth so that I could continue to help the disaster victims."

Based on Li Xiaohu's understanding of Chen Yulou.

Although he may not be considered a good person, he is definitely a true hero who upholds morality!

Hearing this, Yin Xinyue asked incredulously, "Is what you're saying true?"

Li Xiaohu smiled slightly and asked in return, "You saw so many refugees along the way."

"How many have you seen in Xiangyin?"

After careful consideration, Yin Xinyue began to believe Li Xiaohu's words.

The entire Xiangxi region was plagued by war, except for Xiangyin, which was free of conflict and refugees.

Perhaps it really was Chen Yulou's doing.

Yin Xinyue looked at Chen Yulou with admiration, then looked at Luo Laowai with disdain, and said, "That Luo Laowai definitely didn't come to rob the tomb for this reason."

"He's obviously no good!"

"Pfft!" The girl in red had somehow walked up to the two of them and couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

"You're right, he's definitely not a good person."

"This tomb raiding was solely for the purpose of acquiring treasures to purchase weapons and expand military strength."

Yin Xinyue said with increasing disdain, "And then we can fight even better, right?"

“That’s right.” The girl in red also looked disgusted.

After laughing, Hong Guniang said to Li Xiaohu, "Get ready, you'll be coming down with us later."

Then, looking at Yin Xinyue, he pointed to the bottomless ravine and said, "You're not going to go down with him, are you?"

Yin Xinyue peered into the dark ravine, shook her head repeatedly, and chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, I'll just wait for you up there."

"Anyway, he'll come back up after he goes down; there's no way he can escape."

Miss Hong shook her head and smiled, then went to give instructions to the others.

Li Xiaohu squatted down and stroked the four spirit cats, arranging for Jin Yunu and the Long-faced Arhat to wait there, while Erhu and Yaohu followed him down.

By this time, Chen Yulou had completed his mobilization.

Finally, after scanning everyone around, he raised his arms and shouted, "Take the centipede and hang it on the mountain!"

"Swing it!"

"Swing it!"

"Swing it!"

The bandits of the Unloading Ridge Sect responded in unison, taking down the sections of bamboo ladders they had been carrying and storing behind them.

Then it was unfolded into a ladder half a person's height, and then spliced ​​together with the brothers in front and behind, instantly becoming a long and sturdy bamboo ladder.

They were piecing it together as they were being lowered down the mountain stream.

In the process of preparation.

Chen Yulou took off his long gown, and Hua Maguai dressed him in a soft armor with gold and silver buttons, which shimmered in the sunlight.

Amidst the surging and echoing of the bandits.

He was truly unparalleled in his fame and extremely powerful.

But when he caught a glimpse of Li Xiaohu walking up, he suddenly remembered what happened last night, and his heart sank again.

"Ahem." Chen Yulou coughed twice and said to Li Xiaohu, Partridge Whistle and the others, "Please wait a moment, brothers."

"Let me send someone down to scout out the situation first."

"No rush." ​​Neither Li Xiaohu nor Partridge Whistle had any objections.

Chen Yulou nodded, then shouted to the crowd, "Like a lively monkey! Jumping around in the ground!"

Two people with physical deformities stepped out from the crowd in response.

One was short like a dwarf, and the other was as thin as a mischievous monkey; they truly lived up to their names.

Chen Yulou instructed, "You all go down first to scout the way for the brothers!"

"If nothing unusual happens, use the signal arrow!"

"Yes, Chief!" The two men bowed and acknowledged, then walked to the edge of the cliff and began to slowly descend along the centipede-shaped mountain ladder.

Chen Yulou turned around and gestured for the others to stay put.

Li Xiaohu bent down to tease the cat at his feet.

"This cat is so cute."

A tender, childlike voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Look up.

She is Hua Ling, the junior sister of the Mountain Moving Sect, dressed in a Taoist robe.

Li Xiaohu responded with a faint smile.

Hua Ling stepped forward, squatted down, looked at Erhu and Yaohu, and asked, "What breed of cat is this? It looks like a tiger."

Li Xiaohu replied, "Round-tailed tiger."

"A round-tailed tiger?" Hua Ling's eyes lit up in surprise. "That seems to be one of the thirteen spirit cats in the world, right?!"

“That’s right.” Li Xiaohu nodded proudly.

The members of the Mountain Moving Sect also frequently collect various mythical beasts and spirits to aid their tomb raiding operations.

There happened to be a very powerful spirit beast in the basket on her back!

Therefore, she has a strong interest in all kinds of mythical beasts and monsters.

I especially love cats, which have such cute faces.

Hua Ling had been captivated by the two cats the night before and wanted to ask her senior brother, the sect leader, to catch and adopt them.

Unfortunately, it was already owned, so I had to give it up with regret.

Today I had the opportunity to get up close and personal with him, and I finally mustered up the courage to go up and talk to Li Xiaohu.

"Um..." Hua Ling tentatively reached out her hand and asked, "Can I touch it?"

Li Xiaohu picked up Erhu and held him out to Hua Ling, indicating that she could touch him directly.

Hua Ling carefully placed her small hand on Erhu's head and gently stroked it.

Seeing that Erhu was obedient and did not resist, he touched him even more wantonly.

"Meow!"

Erhu suddenly barked impatiently and waved his claws, startling Hualing.

"Hehe." Hua Ling withdrew her hand sheepishly and gave an awkward smile.

Then she introduced herself to Li Xiaohu: "Um, your name is Li Xiaohu, right? My name is Hua Ling."

Li Xiaohu stood up and replied, "I remember you."

"Hmm..." Hua Ling responded softly, then turned and ran away.

"Calling you a pervert is not an exaggeration."

Yin Xinyue appeared beside Li Xiaohu at some point, holding the long-faced Arhat in her arms, and clicked her tongue in admiration.

"How could you lay a hand on such a young girl?"

Li Xiaohu laughed awkwardly, "Stop talking nonsense, she's just interested in my cat."

Yin Xinyue rolled her eyes at Li Xiaohu, then turned and left with the long-faced Arhat in her arms.

"Damn it!" Old Luo paced anxiously back and forth on the edge of the cliff.

He would occasionally glance down into the ravine.

"Why is there no news yet?"

Chen Yulou sat to the side, eyes closed, and calmly said, "General Luo, don't be anxious."

The voice just fell.

"call out!"

A sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out in the mountain stream!

This is the signal arrow from the Unloading Ridge faction!

Chen Yulou opened his eyes instantly, smiled, and slowly said, "The news has arrived, hasn't it?"
