Chapter 453: Talking About Secrets at Night, the True Appearance of the Mausoleum
The moonlight was cold, Qingrao City was prosperous, and business was developed. As night fell, the streets became more and more lively, and there were pedestrians on the streets.
It was a lively scene with dim lights, but there was an undercurrent in the dark.
Inside the Jia Mansion.
After a day of tug-of-war, Hou Shao and others sat in the lobby, silent and depressed.
Since receiving the blackmail letter, they have taken action, consuming a lot of spiritual energy, and then not to mention finding the hiding place of the Jia family's descendants, even the enemies in the dark have not seen half a shadow.
The cause and effect calculations of Dugu Hou and Long Qi were unsuccessful.
In desperation, Hou Shao asked the head of the Jia family to send the prepared gold to the designated location first, and wait for the thieves to show up and take the gold, and then make plans.
But who knew that the carriage transporting the gold fell halfway, and the gold was scattered all over the ground. The people around rushed over, robbed and left, and they couldn't stop it.
Then there was no follow-up, and the plan ended in vain.
The head of the Jia family sighed and aged ten years in a flash. In the previous extortions, there were always various accidents. Either they were blown into the river by strange winds or they were robbed by robbers. As for the mysterious man who kidnapped the descendants of the Jia family, he never appeared from beginning to end.
The head of the Jia family knew that the silver must have flowed into the hands of the mysterious man in some way, but it was really difficult to trace.
How could it be found?
At this time, let alone the mortal head of the Jia family, even Hou Shao, Dugu Hou and other former prodigies were also hit hard.
"Master, I'm sorry, this matter is beyond my ability."
Long Qi stood up, bowed and said, and left the Jia Mansion without waiting for the master to stay.
Then, Xue Youlan and Dugu Hou also left.
Finally, Hou Shao also stood up.
"Mr. Hou, are you also..." The head of the Jia family took a deep breath, raised his hand and trembled slightly. The eyes that should have been full of the head's majesty, I don't know when, have been wet, and the despair from the bottom of his heart.
"Head, I can't do anything about this matter." Mr. Hou said: "But, besides me, isn't there another person who promised to help?"
"He..." The head of the Jia family was stunned, and a vague figure appeared in his mind.
The white clothes that suddenly broke in and disappeared suddenly...
......
On the other side.
In a room of a certain inn.
The mermaids are born beautiful. Ji Nan just returned to the room and took off the hood on her head, revealing her enchanting appearance. In the aesthetics of the human race, her appearance is sweet, and she has two dimples when she smiles, but she almost never smiles at the human race. Only Ji Beiming has the opportunity to see such a scenery.
Ji Huo beside her also untied his hood. He looked heroic, with sharp eyebrows and narrow eyes. This look was very rare in the mermaid tribe. Mermaids, both men and women, tended to be "feminine". This also led to Ji Huo's high reputation in the tribe and many suitors. After all, things are rare and valuable. This unique look is loved by many women in the tribe.
The two of them lived in the same room, not because they were close, but because they acted cautiously. The mermaids were very smart and cunning. Although they were proud from the bottom of their hearts, it did not mean that they would act recklessly.
Except for the matter of Mengze City, they were almost never discovered by anyone.
"Ji Huo, why hasn't your brother come back yet?"
"Counting the time, he should have come back, right?"
Ji Nan took off the black robe and asked slowly. She actually didn't like wearing black robes, and she didn't like the feeling of having her face covered.
Most mermaids were like this.
"I'm also feeling strange." Ji Huo said, frowning. The crystal skin unique to the mermaids reflected the halo under the light, adding a touch of haziness.
Both men and women were tall.
"When he comes back, we can leave this town." Ji Nan stretched, revealing her charming curves, but a flash of disgust flashed across her face, "I really want to leave this town full of humans as soon as possible."
"Indeed." Ji Huo nodded, "Living here is really boring and noisy."
"Mengze City is still interesting."
Ji Nan smiled sweetly, "Indeed."
She propped up her chin and teased the flames with her fingers. The room was bright and dark, flickering, and the shadows were of different lengths.
"The necks of the human race are so fragile, they break with a pinch, and the same goes for their arms."
"I really don't know what will happen to them if their spiritual energy is exhausted for a while."
There was a bit of innocent curiosity in her words, like a girl.
However, if the human race who had seen her committing crimes saw her words and expressions, they would probably be frightened.
"What else will happen to them?" Ji Huo said lightly: "Like pigs and sheep."
"If that's the case, why do the tribes want us to come to the human race? After a few more years, the human race will not be a threat anymore." Ji Nan complained.
"I remember that you came here on your own, right?" Ji Huo asked back.
"Then I came here for Brother Bei Ming's sake." Ji Nan frowned, showing his undisguised disgust, "Who would have thought that Xiao Zhen would show up halfway."
"It's not that simple." Ji Huo analyzed seriously, "The human race will not sit and wait for death. They asked us to come to the tomb of the Dream Dao God and retrieve that thing just in case."
"We, the mermaids, are naturally not stupid. Although the spiritual energy is exhausted now, the human race still has fighting power. On the contrary, we are worried that he will do something crazy."
"So this action is extremely necessary, otherwise why would we risk entering the human territory? Don't forget, if we leave the sea, our strength will be weakened by at least 30%."
Ji Nan waved his hand, "Of course I know, I'm just complaining."
"By the way, what about the gold and silver?" Ji Nan asked again.
Ji Huo said, "What else can I do? I controlled people with dreams, so I got them. I just felt bored and threw them at the bottom of the river."
"Only a vulgar person like Xiao Zhen is interested in such things. If it weren't for Brother Bei Ming's request, how could I get involved in such trivial matters."
Ji Nan nodded, "When Ji Lu comes back, we will go to Dayu City. I think by then... the tomb of the God of Dreams should be in our hands."
Ji Huo echoed, "Of course, with Brother Bei Ming's help, it will be easy to capture, and the empress will be in our pocket."
When the two said this, they looked at each other, with deep contempt in their eyes.
"Speaking of which, the tomb of the God of Dreams is really magical. I never thought that a tomb could be hidden in a dream."
"A wandering dream."
Ji Nan murmured.
"Indeed, the God of Dreams is indeed surprising. Mengze City was also planned by him. He hid the tomb in the dream, and people in the city may be hit by this dream."
"It has been passed down like this for decades. This is the most unique tomb I have ever seen."
"No wonder the world has been searching for it, but still can't find its trace."
"If someone hadn't informed us, it would be impossible for us mermaids to..."
At this point.
The door of the guest room was suddenly knocked.
"Untactful waiter, I really want to break his neck." Ji Huo frowned, thinking that it was the waiter from the store who came up to ask them for the room fee.
