Chapter 844

Everything was quiet.

Chen Guanlou climbed down from the tree canopy to the ground and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The plague gods finally left.

The first hurdle of returning to the capital was successfully passed.

Of course, he would not take the chance to think that the world would be peaceful from now on.

In the days to come, he had to be careful.

That night he entered the city and lived in a three-story mansion. Early the next morning, the housekeeper personally led people to clean up the house in the back alley of the marquis's mansion.

"Master, why don't you arrange two maids to serve the house in the back alley?"

"No need! Every three days, you take people to the back alley to clean up, wash what needs to be washed and change what needs to be changed, that's it."

The three-story mansion arranged by the marquis's mansion, as well as the housekeepers, servants and maids in the mansion, are all well-trained. The only bad thing is that the maids want to pounce on him. Although they are very subtle, they don't stop at all. The housekeeper shows up in front of him every day, asking for instructions left and right to show his presence.

Therefore, he still likes to live in the small house at the back and get along with familiar neighbors. Although the place is small, it is comfortable to live alone.

The news of his return was spread through the housekeeper. The head housekeeper sent an invitation that day, inviting him to come to the house for a drink in the evening.

He readily agreed.

When he thought about staying in the main tomb for two months without eating or drinking, he felt hungry. He had to eat back the two months he lost.

He had to go when the head housekeeper invited him.

Even if he didn't give the head housekeeper face, he had to go for the chef's cooking skills.

When the time came, he kept the appointment on time.

After two months of not seeing each other, the head housekeeper looked a little fatter.

"How have you been these days?"

"Thanks to you, I'm doing well. You ran away quietly for two months without even saying hello to your family. The prince was shocked when he heard that the Jinyiwei had been dispatched. I heard that you made a big fuss in the south."

Chen Guanlou was a little surprised, "Where did you hear that? I just went out for a trip and didn't say where I was going."

"You still want to hide it from me, hum!" The butler was a little disdainful, "I heard about it a long time ago. An ancient tomb from the previous dynasty was dug up in the south, involving the methods of the immortals, right?"

"Where did you hear it from? You are well-informed."

"Don't worry about where I heard it from. I just told you that I know everything I should know. I heard that hundreds or thousands of people died. Is that true?"

"A lot of people did die."

Chen Guanlou acted very calmly.

It would be meaningless to continue to play dumb at this time. They knew each other well, so they said what they should say and didn't reveal a word that they shouldn't say.

"You went down to the underground palace?" The butler was very curious.

Chen Guanlou nodded and did not deny, "After going down to the underground palace, it was really strange and I almost died in it. The reason why I came back so late was because I was injured in the underground palace and hid in the mountains to recover. I don't know anything about the other people. Butler, you are well-informed, tell me."

"You are the person involved, you don't know, and you still let me tell you." The butler snorted, "Why don't you say hello to the Marquis' Mansion when you go south. With the help of the Marquis' Mansion, this trip may be rewarding."

"Forget it! The Marquis' Mansion sent people to follow me, and the result must be cannon fodder, all became sacrifices. You can ask around, except for the high-level warriors, whether the rest of the people who went south this time have died."

Chen Guanlou was very disdainful.

He also asked the Marquis' Mansion to send people to follow him, because he thought there were not enough dead people.

The butler did not argue with him, but curiously asked, "No gains?"

"No! Apart from gaining some knowledge and experience, I gained nothing. No adventures, no chances, and no treasures."

No matter who asked, Chen Guanlou insisted that there were no chances, no adventures, and no treasures. Three nos, it was a wasted trip.

The butler was half-believing and half-doubting.

Chen Guanlou said bluntly, "You don't need to test me, old man. I will continue to work in the prison after I come back. You will know that I am telling the truth. I really have no gains. Not only did I gain nothing, I almost capsized in the gutter and became a burial object."

"Is it really so dangerous?"

"It is more than ten times more dangerous than the traditional ancient tombs. Various illusions, it is really hard to tell the real from the fake. If it weren't for my limited greed, I would not have made it. The worst thing is passing through the sea of ​​​​worms. Can you imagine the horror of your body being crawling with worms, and the worms drilling around in your internal organs to eat your flesh and blood?"

As soon as these words came out, the butler's face instantly stiffened and was very embarrassed.

After a while, he took a sip of wine and said, "There are many people going south this time. As far as I know, many powerful families also secretly sent people, but none of them came back. I heard that the killing that night was so fierce that the sky was dyed red, and hundreds or thousands of people died. Many masters went there. I heard that there was also a master who died."

"Master died?"

Chen Guanlou was full of surprise. How could he not know that a master died.

"Where did you hear it from? I don't know anything."

"It's normal that you don't know. It came from the inside." The butler also subconsciously lowered his voice, "It is said that the underground palace is strange and everyone's experience is different. A master was attacked inhumanely in the underground palace and was besieged."

Chen Guanlou shook his head repeatedly. He really didn't know.

The scenes he saw in the main tomb room flashed by quickly, and many times the scenes disappeared in a blink of an eye. It's impossible to tell who is who. The key is that he doesn't mix in the underworld, and most of the people in the underworld don't know him.

He was not from an aristocratic family.

He had never even seen any of the ancestors of those aristocratic families.

The only ancestor, Wu Xun, stayed in Pingjing Town for so many days, but didn't see anyone.

It is very likely that Zhang Daohe tricked the Wu family.

Now that Zhang Daohe has gone into seclusion, if the other party does not take the initiative to show up, he doubts that no one in the world can find the whereabouts of Zhang.

Zhang is only one step away from the real master level. After two months of adventures in the main tomb, one step away is a matter of course, and he will be a master sooner or later.

Even he, after successfully breaking through the fifth chapter of "Ascension Record", obviously made up for the problem of insufficient foundation before. He has a hunch that within a few years, he will also be able to break through the master level.

"Being besieged, this is definitely not my part. I am a good citizen! I never take the initiative to cause trouble!" Chen Guanlou teased.

The housekeeper sighed, "They said they were going to the underground palace to find opportunities, but in my opinion, they were clearly taking the opportunity to take revenge and grievances. They gathered together the most famous warriors in the martial arts world and took the opportunity to catch them all. This time, the Jinyiwei made great contributions, and His Majesty rewarded Xiao with a big house and a python robe."

"It's over the standard, right?" Chen Guanlou asked curiously.

"It's definitely over the standard. But His Majesty insisted on doing so, and no one could stop him. There are no rules or regulations. Now I can see clearly that the Jinyiwei took the opportunity of the ancient tomb in the south to catch all the unruly warriors in the martial arts world, and took the opportunity to kill some children of aristocratic families. They took the opportunity to eliminate the power of aristocratic families for the court and His Majesty."
