In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

Yingzi suddenly screamed, grabbed Su Mo's hand, and scolded, "You...you're so annoying, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Su Mo lowered his head and gently pinched Yingzi's nose. "Hmm, going on a long trip!"

"But…"

Yingzi frowned and said, "But we don't need the money..."

"It's not about money..."

Su Mo's expression immediately turned serious. "Money is not important to me at all..."

This sounds ridiculous, but Yingzi knows that her husband is telling the truth. Su Mo's business spans the globe, and the daily transaction volume of just one auction house is astronomical.

Not to mention the priceless antiques in the house.

Yingzi asked in confusion, "Then...why?"

Su Mo said, "This tomb contains the key to immortality, so I can't miss it. I've decided to explore it!"

Yingzi gasped. "Immortality? Is it true that some people are immortal?"

Su Mo shook his head, "It's hard to say. There are too many things in the world that we don't understand. Bottomless black holes, mysterious and treacherous demon kingdoms—if we hadn't seen these things with our own eyes, who would believe they existed!"

Yingzi nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"All right!"

Su Mo smiled and said, "I'll be right back! Don't worry..."

"Hey girl, it's late..."

Yingzi blushed, burrowed into the covers, gathered her hair, and tied it into a ponytail. "Be quiet, Nannan is reading outside..."

Su Mo grinned, quickly slipped into bed, and snuggled up to Yingzi.

Before long, melodious harmonies filled the room.

……

the next day.

The four villains prepared tools for tomb raiding, and Su Mo arranged for the company's plane to take a private flight. The six of them flew directly to Ludong and headed straight to Guazimiao after landing.

At the agreed-upon location, a group of people had been waiting for a long time. Looking at Su Mo, the leader was deeply moved. "Su Mo?"

picture!

They look so alike!

The two are practically identical, like they were carved from the same mold.

Su Mo was surprised, but also began to have doubts.

Is this guy in front of me Wu Sansheng or Xie Lianhuan?

After Xie Lianhuan mysteriously disappeared, the two joined forces to devise a plan, using the same identity, without even the Wu family members closest to them noticing anything amiss.

Decades ago, Su Mo, Xie Lianhuan, and Wu Sansheng only met once and did not spend much time together.

At this moment, although he sensed something was wrong, Su Mo was still unsure of the person's identity.

Su Mo asked, "Who...who are you?"

Wu Sansheng understood Su Mo's unspoken meaning, and gave a half-smile. "Master Su, does it really matter who I am? Only enemies care about my identity!"

Su Mo was taken aback, but then he understood. That made sense; with Xie Xiaohua's connection, the two sides would never become enemies.

Thinking of this, Su Mo suddenly felt a sense of relief. "Third Master, twenty years have passed, but you remain as dashing as ever..."

Wu Sansheng, a man of considerable influence, seized the opportunity and immediately said, "When I first met Master Su, you were just an ordinary antique dealer in Panjiayuan. Now your business spans all over China. I've often heard of your reputation even in Hangzhou..."

Wu Sansheng wasn't being modest. He had many businesses in Changsha and Hangzhou, but they were all shady operations, far inferior to Su Mo's.

In just over twenty years, Su Mo's wealth surpassed that of the Wu family and the Xie family, accumulated over generations!

This made Wu Sansheng feel very ashamed!

Behind Wu Sansheng's group, seeing his third uncle so nervous, a young man was puzzled and whispered to the man next to him, "Brother Pan, who is this Master Su? He looks so young, why is my third uncle so..."

The young man hesitated to say what followed, but Pan Zi caught on to the implication and knew that the young master was subtly implying why the third master was so... cowardly!

Pan Zi explained in a low voice, "Third Master, this Master Su is a highly respected figure in both the business and antique worlds. We can't afford to offend him. You've been studying abroad and haven't paid much attention to these matters..."

"But I think you've heard of Su's Auction House, which is one of the businesses under this Mr. Su!"

Wu Xie was shocked when he heard about the Su Family Auction House, because the Su Family Auction House had a great reputation even abroad.

In recent years, in particular, with economic development, Su's Auction House has auctioned off many masterpieces, which has been a source of great interest to many foreign archaeologists.

Pan Zi looked back and muttered to himself, "Those four behind must be the infamous Four Fiends!"

Chapter 168: The Melon Seed Tomb and Wu Xie

Pan Zi looked back and muttered to himself, "Those four behind must be the infamous Four Fiends!"

The Four Fiends were Su Ye's most capable henchmen and notorious thugs in the underworld.

A black and gold battle sword was enough to attract so many experts... It was really worth it!

Although Master Su has kept a low profile in recent years, no one in the underworld dares to underestimate him. You should know that back then, this master only owned an antique shop in Panjiayuan. Now his business spans the globe, his connections are spread across both the legitimate and criminal worlds, and his methods are incredibly powerful.

Leaving aside the Four Fierce Generals, Master Su alone is worth far more than a black gold battle sword!

Pan Zi was secretly delighted, knowing that the journey was now secure!

On the other side, seeing Pan Zi's eyes fixed on the four fierce generals, including himself, Taotie raised a cold eyebrow and said, "If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out..."

Wu Sansheng of the Nine Gates is a remarkable figure, but the other members of the opposing team are not even worth the attention of the Four Fiends, including the muscular Pan Zi.

Pan Zi smiled sheepishly. Although he was a special forces soldier who had been on the battlefield, he was still far inferior to the four people in front of him.

Su Mo glared at Taotie, then introduced Wu Sansheng to everyone.

The four fierce generals under his command were not minor characters; apart from himself, only Zhang Qiling could fight them.

"Master Su's subordinates are indeed full of talented people..."

Wu Sansheng exclaimed sincerely, "These four are all experts; I'm afraid there aren't any such strong individuals among the Nine Gates!"

Taking this opportunity, Wu Sansheng also gave a brief introduction to the people in his team.

Similar to the original TV series, the characters include Pan Zi, Wu Xie, Hai Shao, and Wu Sansheng's other confidants.

Meanwhile, Su Mo was also secretly observing Wu Xie. At this time, Wu Xie was a newcomer with "curiosity" written all over his face. He was secretly urging his third uncle to set off, seemingly looking forward to the upcoming tomb raiding.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone had said their greetings.

eye!

Suddenly, the sound of a cow mooing came from not far away.

Wu Sansheng was taken aback. "It should be our guide..."

Seeing the old man leading the ox in the distance, Wu Sansheng went up to him and said, "Are you Uncle Li? We've been in contact before..."

Uncle Li nodded, looked at everyone, and a strange, fierce light flashed in his eyes. He hid it very well, and none of Pan Zi and the others noticed him.

Su Mo narrowed his eyes, knowing that this person was definitely not a good person.

"oops…"

Uncle Li slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "So many people? There's only one oxcart!"

Now, Pan Zi and the others were in a dilemma, because Su Mo and his group had arrived suddenly, and they had only prepared one oxcart.

With so many people, one oxcart is definitely not enough.

Wu Sansheng rubbed his temples, just as he was thinking of a solution, Su Mo said, "You two lead the way in the oxcart, and we'll follow in the car. Since the oxcart can move, the car should be fine too!"

Wu Sansheng thought about it and felt that Su Mo's words made some sense, so he nodded helplessly, "That's the only way!"

From then on, the team split into two groups.

Su Mo, the four ferocious beasts, and the six brothers rode in a car.

Hu Laosan, along with Pan Zi, Wu Xie, Hai Shao, and others, rode in an oxcart.

Seeing that the oxcart had already set off, Chaos drove his car and followed behind it.

Zhang Qiling, who was originally like a mute, sat in the car and immediately closed his eyes to rest, giving off an impression that strangers should not approach him.

Qiongqi looked at Zhang Qiling and twitched his lips. To be honest, Zhang Qiling's arrogant attitude made him extremely unhappy.

Su Mo smiled, took out four backpacks from the middle of the system and handed them to the four ferocious beasts, saying, "There are some tactical equipment that Lao Hu prepared in advance. Wear them when you get there. There are also pistols, magazines and my special yin-detecting claw and battle knife made of special alloy in the bags!"

"The Yin-Detecting Claw is made for you using materials I searched for over ten years. It is extremely sharp and flexible, impervious to blades and spears, and unaffected by corpse poison!"

"I also had someone forge this battle sword; it's just as sharp as mud!"

The group excitedly accepted the backpacks, saying, "Thank you, Master Su!"

"Thank you, Mr. Su!"

Su Mo smiled, unconcerned. "Alright, Chaos, drive carefully!"

"okay!"

Chaos nodded repeatedly.

The oxcart wasn't going very fast, and Chaos had reduced its speed to the minimum.

The mountain road was very bumpy, and no one knew whether Zhang Qiling was asleep or not. An hour or two later, the oxcart stopped by a river. Hun Dun also turned off the engine and stopped the car, looking around.

There was a small, simple wooden dock by the river, with three small wooden boats moored on it.

A little black dog was swimming happily in the river beside the small wooden boat.

Seeing the people get off the oxcart, Su Mo and the others also opened the cart door.

Taotie looked at the riverbank and laughed, "Seeing this black dog reminds me of Little Nail. Master Su, why didn't you bring Little Nail along? With him around, the journey wouldn't have been so boring..."

Su Mo said, "My daughter can't bear to part with it, so let's leave it at Panjiayuan..."

Don't be fooled by Taotie's current use of "Little Nail" (a nickname), Su Mo knew he wouldn't dare call him that to his face.

As one of the first veterans who fought alongside him, Little Nail's status was second only to Old Hu, Zhang Yingchuan, and others. He was usually quite arrogant towards the Four Fiends, who were second-generation leaders. Only his own daughter, Xian Nannan, could hug him; the little guy ignored everyone else.
