Chapter 66: White Jade Hall and Gold Horse
After thinking it over for a while, Kong Xiyan immediately contacted Professor Gu and asked him to release the information about the armor pieces he had previously excavated online and inform the outside world that the secret of the ancient mysterious city had been solved.
As soon as the news of the Ancient Domain Mysterious City came out, it immediately attracted a lot of attention, and remained at the top of the hot search list. Even the number of people in the major live broadcast rooms doubled.
The ancient mysterious city has always been a place that only exists in legends.
There was once a rumor that there was an ancient city in China, with white jade for the halls, gold for the horses, and golden forged city walls and hung with silk and satin, but the entire ancient city disappeared overnight.
As the ancient city disappeared, the rumors became more and more intense and spread more and more widely.
Zhu Ge's eyes turned red as he stared at his phone. What on earth were those despicable outsiders planning to do with his treasure?! Those things should all be his! All of them should be his!
No, he had to do something!
At the same time, two guests arrived at the archaeological site.
The Chu siblings rushed out of the hospital and arrived at the archaeological site. They both looked sick but seemed to be trying hard to complete the filming.
"Go back to where you came from and don't cause trouble." Kong Xiyan glanced at the two of them and frowned.
Archaeological work is not for fun or show. If you don’t have a healthy body, how can you devote yourself to the work? Not to mention that now is a critical moment. Wouldn’t that just cause trouble?
The Chu siblings were also stunned when they heard Kong Xiyan's words. In fact, their bodies were almost recovered, but they asked a makeup artist to make them look like this before coming just to show off their personalities.
He wanted to gain attention and reputation, portray himself as a perfect victim and make a high-profile comeback, but he didn't expect to hit a snag with Kong Xiyan.
"Village chief, this shouldn't be under the village's jurisdiction!" Chu Xiaoxiao was very dissatisfied. A small acting village chief with a little ability started to meddle in everything, using chicken feathers as a token of authority. Was she worthy of this?!
"Our village chief, Xiao Kong, is not only the acting village chief, but also the deputy leader of the archaeological team. It's like saying, 'Those who are capable should do more work!'" Cheng Yue wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead. "We all listen to her."
"What?" Chu Xiaoxiao turned to look at her brother in surprise. When did Village Chief Xiao Kong become the deputy captain of the archaeological team?
She was crying in the ward and didn't pay any attention to these things.
Chu Lizheng had heard about this matter, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
After all, no matter how you look at it, this is all Zhong Qihan's work.
In order to clear himself and step on others to climb up, Zhong Qi Han is really unscrupulous!
"Village Chief Kong, any job is fine. My brother and I just want to contribute our humble efforts to the cause of archaeology. After all, we are guests of the program. If we don't do anything, even if others don't say anything, we will feel guilty. Please forgive us and give us a chance!" Chu Lizheng deliberately put himself in a very low position. At the end, he turned around and looked at Zhong Qihan eagerly: "Is it okay? Teacher Zhong?"
In order to advance by retreating, Chu Lizheng directly made public the fact that Kong Xiyan and Zhong Qihan had known each other for a long time.
Want to climb up by stepping on him? Dream on!
Chu Lizheng suddenly called out to him. Zhong Qihan, who was wiping his sweat with a towel, was a little confused. Why was he asking him about this?
Zhong Qihan turned his head and glanced at Kong Xiyan, who raised her eyebrows at him as if to provoke him.
Zhong Qihan turned his head away, curling his lips downwards: "Why are you asking me?"
He has no say here, and if he speaks a little louder he will be criticized by Zhong Yangyang.
If his words had any effect, he would have driven Kong Xiyan away long ago!
"Hmm? Haven't Teacher Zhong and Village Chief Xiao Kong known each other for a long time?" Chu Xiaoxiao said this before suddenly raising her hand to cover her lips: "Can I tell you this?"
"I'm sorry, Teacher Zhong, my sister spoke out of turn. She just thought that you and Village Chief Xiao Kong are old acquaintances, and maybe you could say a few good words for us." Chu Lizheng stretched out his lips and smiled apologetically.
"I'll say something good for you?" Zhong Qihan laughed out loud, then turned to look at Kong Xiyan, fearing that his words would only have the opposite effect!
"Beg me?" Kong Xiyan met Zhong Qihan's gaze and gave a subtle smile.
"You're dreaming!" Zhong Qihan glared at Kong Xiyan, turned around and left to continue working.
Looking at Zhong Qihan's back, Kong Xiyan's smile became even wider. The Chu brothers and sisters were also dumbfounded. What was wrong with these two people?
"Village Chief Xiao Kong, if they insist on staying, just send them to Group C." Cheng Yue said casually, "Serving tea and water isn't difficult."
Hearing Cheng Yue's words, the expressions of the Chu siblings changed. Who were they to be? Asking them to do menial work like serving tea and pouring water, who were they humiliating?
"Okay, that's all we can do." Kong Xiyan called Sister Ying to come and take the others, and especially reminded them that they were not in good health and could only do simple things. At the end, she did not forget to point at Cheng Yue and said, "This guy has been lazy for a long time, you should take him back too."
"Hey~ I've been discovered~" Cheng Yue laughed and shrugged his shoulders.
"Come with me." Sister Ying waved her hand: "A few boxes of mineral water just arrived, come and help move them."
The Chu siblings looked unwilling, but seeing Cheng Yue had followed, they didn't know what to say. They just curled their lips at the side of the car, their eyes full of displeasure.
"Send the water to the big tree over there," Sister Ying assigned the tasks. "Men, carry one box each, and two girls, carry one box each. Is that okay?"
"My brother and I have just been discharged from the hospital, we..." Before Chu Xiaoxiao could finish her excuse, she saw Cheng Yue had already jumped into the car nimbly, waiting for her help with his big eyes.
"Go, Xiaoxiao. I know you care about me, but we can't hold everyone back." Seeing this, Chu Lizheng patted Chu Xiaoxiao's shoulder with such force that Chu Xiaoxiao staggered forward.
If we retreat at this time, wouldn't that be what Kong Xiyan and Zhong Qihan wish for?
They, the brothers and sisters, made a high-profile return in order to take back the glory that belonged to them, not to serve as a control group for the diligent Zhong Qihan and his sister!
Chu Xiaoxiao endured the pain in her back and said nothing more. Instead, she resigned herself to her fate and went forward to help carry the water.
After the three of them unloaded the water and brought it to the big tree, Cheng Yue sat down on the ground and didn't move. It was time to slack off.
Seeing Cheng Yue didn't move, the Chu brothers and sisters naturally stood aside to enjoy the cool breeze.
At this moment, Cheng Ze, sweating profusely, trotted over to get some water. Seeing the Chu siblings, he greeted them, "Are you discharged? How are you? Are you feeling better?"
"Well, I'm much better. Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for your concern." Chu Lizheng smiled implicitly, and then sighed deeply as if he was very emotional.
Li Xiaoxiao on the side immediately responded: "Mr. Cheng, you are the first person who cares about our health since we came back. You are such a good person!"
"Hehe." Hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's concern for him, Cheng Ze immediately smiled, revealing his big white teeth: "Of course it is!"
"Cheng Yue, I haven't had time to thank you yet. It's all thanks to you for speaking up for us just now, otherwise Village Chief Xiao Kong wouldn't have accepted us." Chu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes slightly, looking as if she was being excluded. "We're all guests, but you're making it seem like we're holding them back. Teacher Zhong... Never mind, I won't say anymore."
"Xiaoxiao, we're still live streaming, watch your words!" Chu Lizheng scolded Chu Xiaoxiao, then gave the Cheng siblings an apologetic smile: "My sister hasn't fully recovered yet, but she's clamoring to come back to help. She must be feeling uncomfortable after being rejected so suddenly, so she threw a tantrum. Please don't mind it."
"It's okay, it's no big deal." The Cheng brothers and sisters didn't care.
"But...if it weren't for the internet, I wouldn't have known that Teacher Zhong and Village Chief Xiao Kong were old acquaintances." Chu Lizheng cast a thoughtful gaze on Cheng Ze. "Come to think of it, you guys had dinner at Village Chief Xiao Kong's place before and gave her 200,000 yuan, and Teacher Zhong gave her 210,000 yuan. They're old acquaintances. Did Village Chief Xiao Kong really accept the 210,000 yuan?"
Isn't this obvious? This is a trap set by Zhong Qihan and Kong Xiyan!
Based on Chu Lizheng's understanding of Cheng Ze, can he tolerate his violent temper that offends anyone he meets?
Let’s make some noise, let’s make some noise!
It’s better to fight!
