Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 297 Getting acquainted
The zombies in the abandoned grave were also dealt with.

The scene calmed down completely.

"Young Marshal, are you also here for the treasures of the Yuan Tomb in Ping Mountain?"

At this moment, Chen Yulou couldn't help but ask again, guessing that Guan Shaoqing must have the same purpose as them. Otherwise, he really couldn't think of any other reason why Guan Shaoqing would be here. If it was just a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence.

"Yes and no."

"I've heard about the treasure of the Ping Mountain Yuan Tomb, but those things don't appeal to me much. What interests me more are the vampire king and those evil spirits in Ping Mountain."

"Furthermore, I've heard that the Unloading Ridge faction is one of the four major tomb raiding schools. I've never been into a tomb before, so I'm quite interested in the fact that Chief Chen is leading the Unloading Ridge members into the tomb this time. As for the gold and silver treasures in the Yuan Tomb, they're dispensable to me."

Guan Shaoqing said with a smile that his main purpose in coming to Ping Mountain was to accumulate merit points and eliminate the evil spirits and demons in Ping Mountain.

Secondly, he wanted to see how Chen Yulou and his group robbed the tomb.

After all, I haven't experienced being a person in two lifetimes yet.

Guan Shaoqing still found tomb raiding somewhat novel.

As for the treasures inside Ping Mountain, they held little appeal for Guan Shaoqing.

"Forehead."

Upon hearing Guan Shaoqing's words, Chen Yulou was taken aback. He had already decided that if Guan Shaoqing was indeed after the treasures of the Ping Mountain Yuan Tomb, he would simply give the lion's share to Guan Shaoqing. However, he never expected that the attraction of the gold and silver treasures of Ping Mountain was the least for Guan Shaoqing.

Chen Yulou immediately felt admiration and said, "Young Marshal, you have a lofty vision and regard money as dirt. I admire you."

"Mr. Chen, you flatter me. Actually, I'm not some high-minded person who considers money as dirt. It's just that I don't lack money, so gold and silver treasures don't hold much appeal for me. If I were short of money, then the allure of gold and silver treasures would definitely be number one in my heart."

"To me, money is just a bunch of useless numbers now."

Upon hearing this, Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but smile frankly.

Guan Shaoqing didn't really dislike money; rather, he already had enough, and having more wouldn't make much difference. Any more money would just be a bunch of numbers.

Like Little Horse in later generations who said he didn't like money.

Does that mean you really don't like money?
It's just showing off.

The real reason is simply that having too much money has become meaningless.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou's expression stiffened, and he suddenly felt an urge to punch Guan Shaoqing in the face.

Damn it, I've been tricked.

However, Chen Yulou was immediately delighted. Since Guan Shaoqing didn't like money but was interested in tomb raiding and the evil spirits in Ping Mountain, they could cooperate and help each other. With their numbers, they could help Guan Shaoqing find the evil spirits in Ping Mountain, and if Guan Shaoqing eliminated those evil spirits, it would undoubtedly eliminate the threat to them.

This is a win-win situation.

"In that case, if the young marshal doesn't mind, why don't you come with me? The two of us can cooperate. Although the individual strength of my Xieling brothers is not great, we have the advantage of numbers. We can help the young marshal find those demons and ghosts. And if the young marshal eliminates those demons and ghosts, it will also be considered as eliminating a threat to my Xieling brothers."

"If the young marshal is interested in tomb raiding, although I am not very talented, I do have some skills in this area."

"Moreover, after the mission is accomplished, no matter how much treasure we obtain from Ping Mountain, I will certainly present a share to the young marshal with both hands."

Chen Yulou immediately extended an invitation.

"That's fine too."

Guan Shaoqing readily agreed upon hearing this, and then offered a reminder.

"However, I still need to keep my identity hidden. The Luo Shuai that Chief Chen is cooperating with is no good person, especially after obtaining the treasure. Chief Chen needs to be even more careful."

Chen Yulou nodded in agreement. He knew that Luo Laowai was not a good person. In the original story, if a third-party warlord had not intervened and killed Luo Laowai, Luo Laowai and his army might not have shared the treasure with Chen Yulou and the others from the Unloading Ridge faction.

But now Luo Laowai is the biggest warlord in Xiangyin, with men and guns under his command.

Although Chen Yulou's group of Xieling people was numerous, they lacked guns and cannons.

Under such circumstances, if Chen Yulou did not cooperate with Luo Laowai, he would have no chance of obtaining the Ping Mountain treasure on his own.

"Young Marshal's reminder is correct. I will be more careful. I also know that Luo Laowai is not a good person. However, he has now taken over the military power in Xiangyin. If I do not cooperate with him, it will be difficult for me to get down Ping Mountain."

"As long as Mr. Chen understands, it's fate that we met. If you don't mind, we can just call each other friends. I'll call Mr. Chen Brother Chen, and Mr. Chen can call me Brother Guan. When speaking to others later, just call me Mr. Guan."

Guan Shaoqing continued.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou was overjoyed and quickly said, "To be able to make a friend like the young marshal is the greatest fortune of my life."

The two then clasped their hands in a fist salute to each other.

"Brother Chen."

"Brother Guan."
-
"Why hasn't the boss come back yet after chasing after them for so long?"

At the entrance of the Zanguan.

Hong Gu, Hua Ma Guai, Kun Lun, and a few others looked anxiously at the people pacing back and forth outside.

Because Chen Yulou hadn't returned after chasing after them, the others couldn't help but worry.

"Matchmaker, Brother Guai, don't worry. What kind of hero is Chief Chen? He's just a night owl. How could he possibly get into trouble?"

Inside the house, Luo Laowai looked relaxed and leisurely.

He didn't care whether Chen Yulou got into trouble or not. It would be best if he didn't. If he did, it would only prove that Chen Yulou was not capable enough, and he could just terminate the cooperation with Chen Yulou.

Upon hearing this, Hong Gu, Hua Ma Guai, and the others glanced calmly at Luo Lao Wai without saying a word.

Although their Xieling lineage is now cooperating with Luo Laowai.

But deep down, neither Chen Yulou, nor Hong Gu, Hua Maguai, nor anyone else truly trusted Luo Laowai.

At the same time, they also knew that Luo Laowai would definitely not truly trust them.

At best, the two sides are just using each other.

When the treasure of Ping Mountain is unearthed later, there might be a bloody battle between them.

at this time.

There were footsteps outside.

Guan Shaoqing and Chen Yulou emerged from the woods and headed towards the ancestral hall.

At this moment, Chen Yulou was carrying a yellow muntjac weighing over thirty pounds, which they had encountered on their way back.

"Always in charge!"

Upon seeing Chen Yulou return, Hong Gu, Hua Ma Guai, and the others felt a sense of relief and quickly went to greet him.

"Oh dear, Mr. Chen, please put your head down."

Luo Laowai also got up and made a pretentious shout.

"Guai Zi, put the ear back on Aunt Rat. She's a pitiful person. We can't let her die with her body incomplete."

"Kunlun, go and clean up this yellow muntjac. We'll roast it and eat it as a midnight snack later."

"."

Chen Yulou then handed the ears of the second aunt of the rat and the yellow deer to Hua Maguai and Kunlun Dao respectively.

"Please greet Mr. Chen, and who is this gentleman?"

At this moment, Luo Laowai walked over and looked at Guan Shaoqing carefully.

"Commander Luo, let me introduce you. This is my close friend, surnamed Guan. He has the ability to subdue demons and monsters, so he came here at my invitation to help us descend Ping Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou smiled and said that this was the story he and Guan Shaoqing had discussed on the way here.

"So you're a good friend of Chief Chen. My apologies. Since you're a good friend of Chief Chen, then you're a good friend of mine, Luo Laowai."

Upon hearing this, Luo Laowai immediately put on a warm expression.

"Commander Luo, I've heard so much about you."

Guan Shaoqing smiled and gave Luo Laowai a slight bow.

Hong Gu and Hua Ma Guai, who were standing nearby, looked at Guan Shaoqing with surprise and suspicion. They had followed Chen Yulou for many years and knew very well that they had never seen Guan Shaoqing before. Hua Ma Guai, in particular, had grown up with Chen Yulou since childhood.

They were well aware of Chen Yulou's interpersonal relationships.

Hua Maguai and others can confirm that Chen Yulou had never had a friend like Guan Shaoqing before.

However, seeing Chen Yulou say this, Hua Maguai cleverly led Hong Gu and the others to bow to Guan Shaoqing.

"Mr. Guan."

"Hello."

Guan Shaoqing smiled and nodded to Hua Maguai and the others.

Thus, Guan Shaoqing was considered to have initially integrated into Chen Yulou's group.
