Chapter 99: Fuzhou City

"Objectively, stay in a hotel or eat?" A waiter came to Zhu Lin very enthusiastically and asked.

"Ali, those two young men are my men." Deng Botong held a bowl and said to the waiter at a dining table in the corner of the first floor. It seemed that he had been paying attention to the people entering and leaving the inn.

The waiter smiled and said, "It turns out that he is Mr. Deng's guest. Please come here, please come here."

Zhu Lin glanced at the waiter. Although he was kind-hearted, why did Zhu Lin feel that this waiter didn't like Deng Botong very much.

When he arrived at Deng Botong's dining table, Zhu Lin pulled open the stool and sat with Lin Jianjia. He glanced at the two people beside Deng Botong, one old and the other young. These two should be Deng Botong's partners.

The old one was about seventy years old. His face was covered with white beard and his eyes were flickering. The young one was a little girl, who was about seven or eight years old. At this time, the little girl was happily eating a candied haws in her forehand.

There were three dishes on the table, but each dish was full of vegetables. Zhu Lin knew why the waiter was unhappy Deng Botong.

Deng Botong put his rice bowl on the table and said openly: "Don't be surprised by the two heroes. People like us just don't open a year, and they eat for a year. Now... they're a little tight and can't afford to eat."

Lin Jianjia nodded, and she turned her head and shouted to the back: "Waiter, come two plates of beef and a plate of cold dishes, and then a pot of hot wine."

The waiter, who was originally full of unhappiness, instantly changed into a smile. He said respectfully: "Okay."

Deng Botong whispered: "This dish..."

Lin Jianjia said lightly: "Please treat you three to eat."

"How embarrassed is this." Deng Botong rubbed his hands and smiled and said, "I'll introduce to the two heroes. This person is Li San. Although he is very old, he is a famous saint in the circle. He also depends on Mr. Li's treasure hunting."

"This one is even more amazing!" Deng Botong said lowly: "She has no name, we all call her Xiaoya, but she has a very magical ability."

Before Deng Botong finished introducing the article, Xiao Ya pointed at Lin Jianjia and said, "Big sister, you are so beautiful, but why are your hair curly?"

Whether it was Deng Botong, even Zhu Lin was stunned. He used the ever-changing things. How did this little girl see through Lin Jianjia's true appearance?

Li San's expression has not changed. He tapped the table with his fingers, not knowing what he was thinking.

Deng Botong touched his head and said, "Did the two heroes use disguise? I'm not hiding it, we little girl has no other abilities, but we can see through all the illusions and traps and explore the mechanism of the tomb. It would be impossible without her."

See through all the illusions!

How could this girl named Xiaoya actually penetrate?

Lin Jianjia also looked at Xiaoya in surprise. The person who could penetrate was Sister Hua.

Lin Jianjia was not shy, she replied with a smile: "That's how my sister's hair happened."

"So that's how it is." Xiao Ya tilted her head and swallowed a candied haw. She said softly: "Xiao Ya has grown up and wants to make her sister's hair. It's so beautiful."

"Don't be surprised, two." Deng Botong picked up the beef sent by the waiter in the shop. He said while eating: "Xiao Ya is an orphan. I originally wanted to feed her a few bites of food, but I didn't expect that she had such magical abilities, so I kept asking her to follow me since then."

How many bites of food should I feed? If Zhu Lin remembers correctly, this candied haws are much more expensive than the vegetables on the table. I didn’t expect that Deng Botong is quite good.

Deng Botong swallowed the beef, and he put the chopsticks aside and said seriously: "I'm very happy that you're full and talk about serious matters. First of all, I'm very happy that the two heroes can come to help us! This time, Mr. Li San found the ancient cemetery map of King Xiang He. Because we are quite famous in the circle, Mr. Li San found us and wanted to cooperate with us."

"By the way, I forgot to tell Mr. Li San." Deng Botong said: "These two heroes are capable people who can defeat Zhang Feng, the disciple of the Taoist Mountain leader!"

Li San nodded and said that he understood.

Zhu Lin took a sip of tea quietly. Deng Botong did not tell Li San about their defeat of Zhang Qing. He and Li San were just a temporary combination, and Deng Botong was careful.

Although Deng Botong is ignorant, he is involved in tomb robbing, especially those who are following a little girl, must be a scheming person. He will not expose everything to people he does not trust.

At this time, there were very few people in Longfu Inn. Deng Botong directly took out the map. Zhu Lin observed it. This was a cowhide map. The cowhide had a little dark yellow color. This map had a history of at least five hundred years. It was weathered, but it was quickly preserved, so it was made of such a color.

Before uncovering the cowhide map, Deng Botong looked at Zhu Lin and said, "Young hero, before looking at this map, can you promise me something first?"

Zhu Lin was stunned: "What's the matter?"

"No matter what happens," said Deng Botong seriously: "We must keep the most important one first."

Zhu Lin and Lin Jianjia looked at each other. What does Deng Botong mean?

In fact, Zhu Lin also suspected that Deng Botong trusted them so much? He invited that person to rob the tomb before he knew him at all. Deng Botong was definitely not the kind of simple person!

"Hahaha." Deng Botong smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, two heroes, this is just our jargon."

Deng Botong unbuttoned the strap of the cowhide map, and he spread the map. Zhu Lin and Lin Jianjia leaned over. Zhu Lin said in surprise: "This... is Jiangning City?"

The city layout on the map is Jiangning City. Starting from the east gate of the city, a red line extends to the mountains and forests outside Jiangning City. A place far away from the outskirts of Jiangning City, the red line is broken, and there are five small characters written in black ink marks: The tomb of King Xianghe.

"No, no, no," Deng Botong said mysteriously: "At first we thought this was Jiangning City, but we didn't know until after our on-site inspection... This is Fuzhou City!"

"Fuzhou?" Zhu Lin frowned: "That is the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty."

"Yes!" Deng Botong said: "For some reason, the layout of Jiangning City and Fuzhou City is the same. The Great Zhou and the Southern Tang have been fighting. It was only three years ago that the Southern Tang surrendered to the Great Zhou, so many people don't know the strangeness of Jiangning City and Fuzhou City."

Zhu Lin looked at this cowhide map. If he really wanted to explore the ancient tomb of the king, they would have to go deep into the hinterland of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Zhu Lin was not sure what would happen if he left the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"How about it, are the two heroes willing to go with us?" Deng Botong said: "We have already figured out that if the two heroes are unwilling to leave the Zhou Dynasty, we will go three of us."
