Chapter 686: Changing Conditions
The black ghost face sneered, and the tip of the sword moved down and stabbed Yuan Qi's right shoulder: "Now the 'Long Yu Yuan Family' is just an empty shell. I'm afraid you are the one who doesn't know about it?"
"No... don't do anything rash..." Zhou Chang stared at the tip of the sword nervously, not caring about what the black ghost mask said.
Yuan Qi was wearing a goose yellow dress. Summer clothes were thin, and the tip of the sword pierced through the thin fabric immediately, seeping out spots of bright red.
But Yuan Qi didn't even frown, and even shook his head slightly at Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang's heart seemed to be stabbed by the tip of the sword, and he forced himself to remain calm: "Come on, it's just money, it's easy to talk about, easy to talk about..."
The black ghost mask seemed more cruel than the white one: "Why? Do you have money?"
"Yes..." Zhou Chang agreed readily, but then dragged out the words, "But..."
As soon as the word "but" came out, the black ghost mask suddenly turned the tip of the sword and stabbed towards Yuan Yun.
"Woo..." Yuan Yun screamed in shock, but her mouth was blocked and she could only struggle desperately.
She was short, and when she struggled, her forehead was hit by the sword tip, her hair was immediately messed up, and a bloody wound was left on her forehead.
"Don't..." Zhou Chang was startled and jumped up from his chair, almost falling back, thanks to the skinny monkey who held him up.
I didn't expect the Black Ghost Mask would be serious.
Yuan Yun was still in shock and couldn't even cry.
"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhou Chang supported himself to stand firmly, "It's just money, just tell me the amount, I will satisfy you as long as you can name it."
The black ghost face sneered, and then turned gloomy: "It is said that there are countless treasures in the tomb of Emperor Xi. Not to mention the priceless treasures, even the whole country can buy them. No matter how much you offer, how much can you get?"
Not to mention Zhou Chang, even Yuan Qi was not rich enough to rival a country.
However, judging from the tone of Black Ghost Mask, it seems that he wants to set new conditions.
So he asked, "Tell me what you want? What other conditions do you have? As long as you are willing to release the person, I will agree to it."
Sure enough, the black ghost face said: "If you are willing to exchange yourself, I can consider it."
Zhou Chang was not surprised, he just asked calmly: "You haven't heard of Prince Yi's reputation? How much is Prince Yi worth? What do you want me to do?"
The black ghost face shook his head slowly: "You are the prince of a country, how can you be worthless? I have already said that the treasure can buy the entire country, so..."
Zhou Chang sneered: "Haha... You must be suffering from hysteria. I have already said that the story of the treasure in Emperor Xi's Tomb is a completely fictitious legend. How dare you compare it with me?"
"Then there's no other way." The black ghost mask said as he swung his sword again, cutting off a strand of Yuan Yun's hair.
Yuan Yun's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"Wait, wait... I'll give you the treasure, okay?" Zhou Chang raised his hand to stop them.
"What?" The black ghost face was stunned. "Didn't you say that the tomb door couldn't be opened? Where did you get the treasure?"
Zhou Chang put one hand on his waist and the other hand on the skinny monkey, sighing helplessly: "Alas... if you win, I'll give you everything in the treasure, as long as you let him go."
"You have treasure? What treasure? Tell me clearly." The Black Ghost Face couldn't believe it.
Zhou Chang's breathing became heavier, and his face showed reluctance: "You are just trying to force me...Okay, you win, and all the treasures are yours."
"You..." The black ghost face seemed to gradually understand, "You mean, you have obtained the treasure of Emperor Xi's Tomb?"
"Hehe, what do you think I was busy with this morning?" Zhou Chang said as he helped the skinny monkey sit back in the chair of the sedan chair. He was a little breathless. "Your people... the guards on the mountain and below should have seen what is on the dozen or so carriages at the foot of the mountain. If you don't believe it... you can send someone to check."
"You mean, you have moved out the treasures in Emperor Xi's tomb this morning?" Black Ghost Face couldn't believe it.
Not only him, but everyone present gasped.
"Don't be surprised. It's all thanks to you for reminding me." Zhou Chang waved his hand and gradually regained his composure. "Otherwise, I wouldn't know the exact location of the treasure."
"No, it's impossible. Master, don't believe him." At this time, the white ghost face interrupted again, "The stone wall just now must be the entrance to the tomb. We have sent people to guard it for so many days. The jade pendant used as a key can't open the tomb door. How did he get in? Impossible."
"How many people do you have? Two hundred is enough..." Zhou Chang didn't even bother to look at the white ghost face, but sneered at the black ghost face. "Since we have come to this point, I will not hide the truth from you. Not counting the four or five hundred people you see, I also brought two thousand elite soldiers, and we have surrounded the area. This is because we agreed to meet here. If we had moved to the main peak, this number of people would not be enough."
"Main peak? What does that mean?" Black Ghost Face imagined, "Could it be that there is an entrance to the Emperor Xi's Tomb on the main peak? Or is the jade pendant you just used fake? Is it a trap?"
Thinking of this, he was startled first, and the black ghost face raised his sword alertly. The other kidnappers also became more alert.
Someone even whistled into the dense forest on the other side of the boulder, and then dozens of people with ghost masks and weapons appeared from nowhere.
Zhou Chang hoped that these were all the kidnappers, but he remained calm: "You are all stupid. The entrance to the tomb is the entrance to the tomb. You don't necessarily have to go in through the entrance to get the treasure."
The kidnappers looked at each other in suspicion.
Zhou Chang then took out the jade pendant from his bosom and held it up: "Guess, besides being a key, what are these patterns on it used for?"
Naturally no one could answer.
Zhou Chang answered his own question: "Haha... I guess you won't understand even if I show it to you. So I still want to thank you again. Thanks to you for reminding me in the letter. The words 'Fengming Mountain Tail Peak' are very important, tut tut..."
"Speak clearly." If the black ghost mask was not wearing a veil covering his eyes, Zhou Chang would definitely see a pair of eyes like a trapped beast.
Zhou Chang rubbed the jade pendant in his hand slowly and began to "lecture" everyone present: "Since Fengming Mountain has a tail peak, why haven't you heard of a 'head peak'? And which emperor did you hear of looking for a tomb and buried it in the tail instead of the best place? The most important thing should naturally be placed in the head, so I started looking from the main peak of Fengming Mountain. I was just trying my luck, but I didn't expect that the runes on the jade pendant would help me a lot. Haha, I don't need to say more about the rest."
"Let me see the jade pendant." The black ghost face still didn't believe it and reached out for evidence.
