"Then we'll go back first. I'll call you if there's any news.”Wu Xie said.
"Yes." Wu Tianming nodded.
"Let's go." Wu Xie said to the little brother.
The young man nodded and got into Wu Xie's car.
Wu Tianming also got into his car and returned home. When he opened the door, he saw Ah Ning watching TV.
"You're back." Ah Ning was like a little wife when she saw Wu Tianming come back. She ran to Wu Tianming's body and hugged his arm as she said sweetly.
"Yes, I just went to Third Uncle's place to understand some things. You must be hungry. Go eat something." Wu Tianming smiled gently at Ah Ning.
"Yes." Ah Ning nodded. After she put on her city clothes, her personality as a mercenary leader seemed to be slowly changing. However, this was also because she was by Wu Tianming's side. With him around, Ah Ning could feel a sense of security. He did not need to do anything himself.
"Let's go." Wu Tianming grabbed Ah Ning's hand and got into the car to eat.
On the other side, after Wu Xie and the little brother returned home, Young Master Gao Liang and Chen Chengcheng saw that Wu Xie and the little brother had returned and hurriedly surrounded them. Chen Chengcheng asked,"Wu Xie, what are you doing at Third Uncle's house?”
"Nothing, I just asked my brother some questions.”Wu Xie said with a faint smile.
"Is that so? Why do I feel like you've changed?”Chen Chengcheng sized up Wu Xie and said with a pout.
"Yeah, I think so too.”High agreed.
"It's nothing. I didn't go for plastic surgery. What can I change?”Wu Xie said.
"Forget it, let's go eat. I'm starving.”Chen Chengcheng patted his stomach and said.
"Alright." Wu Xie nodded and was about to go out to eat with Young Master Gao when he asked casually,""Do you know about the Snake-Browed Copper Fish?"
"What?" Chen Chengcheng exclaimed.
"You know about it?" Wu Xie turned around and asked Chen Chengcheng with glowing eyes.
"I've seen this thing in my aunt's information." Chen Chengcheng nodded.”
"What does it say?" Wu Xie hurriedly asked.
" According to the information, they spent a lot of effort and sacrificed a lot of time and lives to find the Snake-Browed Bronze Fish," Chen Chengcheng said." It's very important." But he didn't say how to use it, and now it's here again. Where did you find it?”
"It's in the treasure box in King Lu Shang's tomb.”Wu Xie said.
"Oh, it seems that Auntie was only one step away back then.”Chen Chengcheng said in a low voice, but his voice was heard by Wu Xie and the others!
"By the way, did Third Uncle say anything?”Chen Chengcheng said.
"Third Uncle said nothing." Wu Xie said.
"How is that possible? He must know about such a big thing.”Chen Chengcheng said.
"Maybe Third Uncle doesn't want to say." Wu Xie said.
"It's okay. We can think of a way to make Third Uncle say it.”Chen Chengcheng said with a smile, his expression like a little fox. If Third Uncle saw her like that, he would definitely sigh. She was very similar to Chen Wenjin!
It was night. Third Uncle walked slowly home and suddenly saw Wu Tianming, Wu Xie, and the rest sitting in his living room from the window. He couldn't help but quicken his pace and walk home.
Chen Chengcheng also saw his third uncle coming back from the window and hurriedly ran to open the door." Third Uncle, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why are you only back now?”Chen Chengcheng complained.
Third Uncle glanced at her and did not say anything. He threw his phone into the living room.
Chen Chengcheng said to Third Uncle with a smile,""You know what? I made you a lot of delicious food."
"What are you doing in my house?" Third Uncle interrogated Wu Tianming and the others. The atmosphere became tense.
"Third Uncle, have a seat first." Chen Chengcheng pressed Third Uncle down on the sofa from behind and stared at her with his mouth agape.
"Look at how difficult it was for you to escape from the ancient tomb. Therefore, I personally cooked a reunion dinner for everyone. Wait a moment. It'll be done soon. Wait a moment.”After saying that, Chen Chengcheng ran into the kitchen without waiting for Third Uncle to say anything.
Third Uncle looked at Chen Chengcheng's back speechlessly, not knowing what to say. He sighed. He turned to look at Wu Tianming and the others.
Wu Tianming and Ah Ning were hugging each other and watching TV. They whispered sweet nothings to each other from time to time, as if nothing had happened. Wu Xie was leisurely flipping through an antique magazine, which was full of rare antiques. The young man sat there with an indifferent expression. Nothing could affect him. However, it was different if he was sitting there. It felt very strange.
Third Uncle threw his phone on the table and sized Wu Tianming up. Suddenly, he smiled. Although Young Master Gao Liang found it strange, he quickly smiled like Third Uncle, but it was very stiff.
Wu Tianming and the others stole a glance at Third Uncle and immediately retreated.
"What do you want?" Third Uncle asked.
"I don't want to do anything." said Young Master Gao Liang immediately.
"What about you?" High pointed at Wu Xie and said.
"Oh, let's eat. Brother, what about you?" Wu Xie pointed at the kitchen and said. Then, he looked at Wu Tianming.
"Eating?" Wu Tianming said with a strange expression, as if he had to ask the same question.
"Dinner?" Third Uncle smiled, his tone full of doubt.
"Come, it's time to eat." Chen Chengcheng's voice rang out. Everyone went to the dining table outside and sat down. Ah Ning and Chen Chengcheng helped to bring out the dishes from the kitchen.
"Come, the dishes are all here. Third Uncle, have some prawns.”Chen Chengcheng picked up a prawn and placed it on Third Uncle's plate.
"Come, Third Uncle, have some red wine." Wu Xie helped pour the red wine.
"Come, Third Uncle, have a piece of chicken." Wu Tianming picked up a piece of chicken and placed it on Third Uncle's plate.!! Just tell me what's the matter.”Third Uncle said helplessly.
He really wasn't used to doing it this way.
Everyone's movements froze, but they quickly reacted. "I'm fine. Hey, brother, what's the matter?" Wu Xie asked Wu Tianming indifferently.
"I'm fine. Ah Ning, what's the matter?" Wu Tianming asked Ah Ning doubtfully.
"Me? I'm fine. Let's eat." Ah Ning smiled, but her smile was a little stiff.
"Alright, alright, you two brats. Do you think your Third Uncle has been doing nothing for the past few decades? You can't even guess what's on your mind?”Third Uncle looked at Wu Xie and Wu Tianming and said mockingly.
"Aiya, Third Uncle, since you've already seen through it, why don't you say it out loud?”Wu Tianming said with a smile.
"Hmph, I just wanted to ask about the Snake-Browed Copper Fish. Is there a need to come up with so many tricks?”Third Uncle said.
"Aiya, Third Uncle, just tell us. Us juniors really want to know.”Chen Chengcheng begged his third uncle.
"Actually, I don't have much to say because I don't know anything.”Third Uncle said with his arms crossed.
"Aiya, Third Uncle, don't joke with us. How is that possible? You said that my aunt has been looking for this Snake-Browed Copper Fish. How could you not know anything?”Chen Chengcheng asked.
Third Uncle looked at Chen Chengcheng and said," Your aunt isn't the only one looking for the Snake-Browed Copper Fish. Many people are looking for it too. I've only seen it on a piece of paper that hasn't been burned."”
Pausing for a moment, Third Uncle looked at everyone and said,"Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you and make you give up.”
"Good, good, good, hehe." Chen Chengcheng rested his chin on his hand and listened attentively to his third uncle's story.
"Have you heard of the Old Nine Gates?”
Wu Xie glanced at Wu Tianming and nodded."Yes, it's a joint organization of the tomb raiding families.”
"Actually, it's not really an organization. It's just a code name given to them by the people of Jianghu," said Third Uncle indifferently.”
"Actually, there aren't many connections between the Nine Gates. Our Wu family is one of them, and so is Chen Chengcheng's Chen family.”
"Our Wu family is one of them, but why hasn't anyone told me about it since I was young?”Wu Xie asked in confusion.
"Hehe, actually, the Wu family of the Old Nine Gates refers to your grandfather.”Third Uncle said to Wu Xie.
"My grandfather?" Wu Xie was even more confused.
"The Wu family has been doing this since the Qing Dynasty. By your grandfather's generation, we were already at the top. However, your grandfather had an accident when he was young and raised a puppy since he was young. From then on, the title of Lord Dog Five came. The Old Nine Families are divided into the Upper and Lower Families.”Third Uncle said.
"Yes, yes, yes. Our Chen family is also from the Ping Three Gates. Our elder is called Chenpi Ah Si.”Chen Chengcheng added.
"Is there any connection between the Snake-Browed Copper Fish and the Old Nine Gates?”Wu Tianming asked.
"Once, the Old Nine Factions suddenly formed an alliance and launched a grave robbing operation. This was also the largest grave robbing operation in history. It was extremely shocking in the martial world, but I don't know what the specific purpose was.”Third Uncle said.
" Once, your grandfather said that he would be away for three months, but he was gone for three years. By the time I saw him again, he was already as thin as a piece of wood. One day, I took advantage of the old man's absence and peeked at his notebook. It was written on the Snake Browed Bronze Fish. However, the old man came back and found it, so he hung me up and beat me up. Then, he burned those few pages. Because of the three years of action, the Old Nine Gates also became unable to recover. After the old man took it down, he also ordered that the Wu family was not allowed to fight back.”Third Uncle said.
"That's right. Our Chen family was the same.”Chen Chengcheng said.
"If you want to understand this Snake-Browed Copper Fish, you can only look for the descendants of the Nine Gates, the Third Miss Huo of the past and the current Fairy Huo.”Third Uncle said.
"Looks like we have to go and find this Fairy Huo, brother.”Wu Xie turned around and said to Wu Tianming.
"Yes." Wu Tianming nodded, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. I heard that he has a bad temper. However, if Old Dog Wu, the head of the Wu family, could control you back then, I, the head of the Wu family, can do the same now!
Third Uncle looked at the expressions of the two brothers and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he did not say it. He probably wanted to know what secret was hidden in his heart.
The next day, Wu Tianming and the other six threw bags of snacks into the car. They drove two cars and started a self-driving trip. Since they didn't have time, they didn't take the highway from Hangzhou. They walked to a city for two to three days before leaving. It was like a sweet trip with Ah Ning.
After tasting all the delicacies from Hangzhou to Beijing, Wu Tianming and the others finally arrived in Beijing, the ancient capital!
After putting their luggage in the hotel, Wu Tianming, Wu Xie, and the other six people walked to the car.
"Wu Xie, you take little brother and a few others to Pan Jia Yuan to look for Fatty. Beijing is his territory and he is familiar with it.”Wu Tianming said.
" What about you, brother?" Wu Xie asked.
"I'm going to meet some friends. I'll meet you later.”Wu Tianming said.
"Yes." Wu Xie nodded and brought Young Master Gao Liang and Chen Chengcheng to Panjiayuan to play and look for Fatty.
"Let's go, Ning." Wu Tianming took Ah Ning's hand and went to meet some old friends. He also introduced Ah Ning to them.
"Yes." Ning nodded gently. Wu Tianming did this because he wanted Ah Ning to integrate into his circle as soon as possible.
Wu Tianming made a phone call and brought Ah Ning to a hotel.
"Second brother." Wu Tianming pulled Ah Ning into a private room and greeted someone who was playing with his phone.
"Third Brother." Ye Qi stood up and said with a smile. His tone was a little excited.
"Sit down." Wu Tianming also walked over with a smile on his face.
"Is this sister-in-law?" Ye Qi looked at Ah Ning, and his eyes flashed with amazement as he winked at Wu Tianming.
"Yes." Wu Tianming nodded and admitted it.
"Hello, my name is Ah Ning." Ah Ning stretched out his hand and greeted him. This straightforward personality made Ye Qi slightly surprised, and then he immediately reacted.
"Hello, hello, sister-in-law. My name is Ye Qi. Just call me Xiao Qi.”Ye Qi politely shook Ah Ning's hand and let go.
"Where are Boss and Fourth?" Wu Tianming asked.
"Not yet, aren't they here?" Ye Qi was just about to say that they hadn't arrived yet when he suddenly changed his words and pointed at the door.
"Boss. Fourth Bro." Wu Tianming stood up and smiled at the two people who walked in.
"Third Brother." The eldest brother Wu Kuang and the fourth brother Chen Ze were also delighted.
"Is this sister-in-law?" The fourth brother looked at Ah Ning who was beside Wu Tianming and said.
"Yes." Wu Tianming nodded.
"Hello, sister-in-law. My name is Wu Kuang.”Wu Kuang stretched out his hand.
"Hello, big brother. My name is Ah Ning." Ah Ning also smiled and shook hands with Wu Kuang. As soon as they shook hands, their expressions changed.
Although Ah Ning's skin was smooth and smooth, his hands that had been holding a spear for a long time would always have some hard calluses. As for Wu Kuang's hand, Ah Ning could clearly feel that his entire palm was covered in hard calluses. This was not only caused by spear practice, but also by various kinds of hard qigong!
Although their expressions changed a little, they quickly retracted their hands and nodded at each other as if nothing had happened.
"Hello, sister-in-law. My name is Chen Ze." Chen Ze said with a smile.
"Hello," Ning smiled and nodded.
"Have a seat." Wu Kuang said.
Everyone got into position, ordered food and wine, and started chatting.
"Third Brother, it's been so long since we've been to Beijing.”Ye Qi teased.
"Just a few glasses. Second, after I drink a few glasses, let's fight.”Wu Tianming looked at Ye Qi and suggested.
"Um... Forget it, I still have to drive back to work.”The second brother Ye Qi's expression changed slightly. He seemed to have thought of something and quickly waved his hand.
When the eldest Wu Kuang and the fourth Chen Ze heard about the drinking competition, their expressions changed slightly. Ah Ning looked at them with a puzzled expression.
Wu Tianming saw Ah Ning's expression and smiled at her.""These three guys used to compete with me in drinking, but I put them all down. The three of them hugged each other and I took a few photos of them.”
"Ah?" Ah Ning was also surprised that Wu Tianming could hold his liquor so well. However, when she thought of the three men hugging each other, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The other three people looked at Wu Tianming with black lines on their faces.
"Third Bro, it's all because of you that we got together.”Fourth Brother pointed at Wu Tianming and said angrily.
"Hehe, three people can't even drink it, so their skills are inferior.”Wu Tianming said with a smile.
"Alright, a wise man doesn't talk about his past bravery. Today, let's talk about something else.”The second brother Ye Qi said.
"Third Brother, what does this Miss Ah Ning do?”Boss Wu Kuang asked casually.
"Aiyo, I couldn't help but ask. I saw the change in your eyes when you shook hands just now, and I saw something.”Wu Tianming said with a smile.
"Mercenaries." Wu Tianming said softly.
"Oh?" Wu Kuang looked at Ah Ning. She was like a city beauty, but she was actually a mercenary? No wonder he had a callused hand.
"Wow, Third Brother, you're not bad. You even found a special girlfriend.”Second Brother said to Wu Tianming.
"Sister-in-law, is it fun to be a mercenary?" Chen Ze asked Ah Ning.
Ah Ning felt a little strange when he saw their reaction. After all, the word mercenary was unfamiliar and a little scary to ordinary people. These people didn't have any fear at all.
"Let me introduce them to you." Wu Tianming said to Ah Ning.
"Boss Wu Kuang, the current young master of Wu clan. As for which Wu clan it is, you should know.”Wu Tianming said.
Ah Ning's eyes narrowed. He had a very high reputation in the army. More than half of the high-ranking officers in the army were the students of the Wu clan's old master. The Wu clan had even held the position of the highest leader for a term! He could be said to be the highest-ranking dignitary in the army.
"Second brother, Ye Qi, the current young master of the Ye family. His family holds many military and political positions in the army.”
"Fourth brother, Chen Ze, is the current young master of the Chen family. The Chen family has an extremely high status in the political world.”
A hint of understanding flashed through Ah Ning's eyes. The three of them were all children of high officials and powerful people. No wonder they weren't surprised that he was a mercenary.
"Boss, Second, Fourth, please take care of Ah Ning in the future.”Wu Tianming said to the three of them.
"Don't worry, Third Brother. With us around, as long as Sister-in-law gives us a call from within China, no matter what trouble she encounters, we'll settle it for her.”Second Brother nodded and said with a smile.
Boss and Fourth also nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, brothers. Cheers." Wu Tianming raised his cup and said.
"I haven't poured the wine yet." Fourth Brother shouted.
"Hahaha…" A burst of laughter came from the private room.
With the guarantee of these three people, even if Wu Tianming was no longer around, Ah Ning would be safe and sound in Huaxia for the rest of her life.
Ah Ning looked at Wu Tianming with happiness in her eyes. She knew that she would return to the mercenaries one day, but with the guarantee of these three people, she would be safe in China. With a great guarantee of safety, her boss, Wu Kuang, was in the army. If she gave a call, Wu Kuang could even immediately mobilize the nearest army to support her.
After dinner, the five of them left the restaurant. After all, the other three still had to work. More importantly, they had the foresight to be the third wheel.
"Let's go to Panjiayuan to find Fatty.”Wu Tianming then took Ah Ning to Pan Jiayuan to look for Fatty. Wu Tianming had been to Fatty's shop a few times before coming to Beijing, so he knew the way. He took Ah Ning to Pan Jiayuan and walked to Fatty's shop.
"Fatty, Wu Xie, little brother." Wu Tianming brought Ah Ning to Fatty's shop and saw the three of them sitting on chairs. There was a bronze horn on the table.
"Fatty, why are you putting a Red Bull at the door?”Tianming Wu kicked the big bottle of Red Bull at the door.
"This isn't good. It's red and awesome." Fatty Wang looked at the corner with a magnifying glass and said without looking back.
"Get lost, this Red Bull company gave you money, right?”Wu Tianming laughed and scolded.
" Brother, Sister-in-law." Wu Xie greeted Wu Tianming and Ah Ning when he saw them. The little brother nodded at them.
"What's going on?" Wu Tianming pointed at the corner of the table with his chin.
"It's nothing. I just helped Fatty get this corner for 300,000.”Wu Xie said with a smile.
"Fatty, we've made a huge profit." Tianming Wu looked at Fatty Wang and said.
"Hehe, no problem. Today, I'll bring you guys to eat Quanjude Roast Duck. Let me tell you, Beijing Quanjude Roast Duck is very fragrant.”Fatty Wang said with a smile.
"Alright, Fatty, I'm looking for you today for something.”Wu Tianming said.
"I knew you guys had something to look for me. Why are you so kind to come and see me? Tell me, what's the matter? Leave it to me.”The Beijingers 'pride was vividly reflected in Fatty.
"We want to see the old lady of the Huo family, Fairy Huo.”Wu Xie said.
Fatty Wang's smile slowly disappeared."You guys are too naive. Not to mention you guys, even if Fairy Huo's own son wanted to see him, it would depend on her mood.”
"I know that you Beijingers are very particular about rules, but Fatty, with your unruly nature, would you tell us this?”Wu Tianming said with a smile.
"Hehe, I'm not a law-abiding person, but you have to tell me, why are you looking for her?”Fatty Wang said.
"About the Snake-Browed Copper Fish." Wu Tianming said. Fatty Wang was also his friend, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Snake Browed Copper Fish?" Fatty Wang was also confused. It seemed that he did not know about this matter.
"Yes." Wu Tianming nodded.
Fatty Wang didn't hesitate and nodded with a smile.
In the evening, Fatty Wang brought Wu Tianming, Wu Xie, and the other six people to Quan Defu for roast duck.
"Eat more. There's no need to be polite with me.”Fatty Wang said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord Fatty." Chen Chengcheng thanked Fatty Wang as he ate.
"Fatty has made a huge profit today. It's worth celebrating. Come, cheers.”Wu Tianming said with a smile.
"Cheers…" Everyone raised their glasses and toasted.
"Thank you. Thank you." Fatty Wang said with a smile.
"Hey, Fatty, I finally know the saying in Panjiayuan: if you don't open for business for three years, you'll eat for three years if you open.”Gao Liang said to Fatty Wang.
