Chapter 148 The unexpected truth
Later, even I began to doubt my abilities. It turned out that my opponent was neither Hu Bin nor Tang Yan, but the person I had ignored from the beginning - Wu Honghong - who could believe such a human being?
A harmless "underage" girl can be a very hidden person, and she has everyone under her control.
If she hadn't taken the initiative to come to my door now, I would still have been kept in the dark.
"Lin Kun, please let me beg you. I know that our Wu family brought all this upon ourselves. We wanted to get the elixir of life wholeheartedly. We were blinded by lard. All the mistakes we made are our fault.
, but my heart for you is true! Please believe me!"
I stared at Wu Honghong's eyes for a long time. Unable to calm down, I felt an indescribable emotion welling up in my heart, fettering my thoughts and affecting my decision-making.
The whole story starts before Fatty Guo found me. The Wu family, like Yuling, is a family that protects mausoleums. Wu Zunyou, who was brutally murdered by Hu Bin, became the last mausoleum protector of this family. As Wu Honghong said,
Because the Wu family has passed down a drug that can delay aging from generation to generation, although Wu Zunyou looks like he is only in his eighties, his actual age is already 125 years old.
For humans, greed is the biggest terminal disease. Delaying aging did not make the descendants of the Wu family know how to cherish and be grateful. They were not satisfied with extending their lives and began to pursue immortality crazily. For thousands of years, they never gave up.
Searching, their eyes finally fell on their "original point" - the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. To be precise, it should be called the Tomb of Ying Zheng.
Because doing so is extremely risky and goes against the ancestral teachings, even though people of the Wu family have been thinking about the elixir of immortality for thousands of years, no one dares to risk the world's disapproval and do this unjust thing.
It was not until Wu Zunyou's two sons got married that human greed finally "broke out of the cage" and led to today's "sin". More than a hundred years ago, in that turbulent era, human evil was infinitely magnified.
, in order to survive, hungry refugees can sell their children, but the powerful can already make a fortune in the turmoil, eating people without spitting out their bones. In addition to his eldest son Wu Tie, Wu Zunyou actually has a younger son named Wu.
Gang. However, this person's name has never been found in the Wu family's genealogy, and he has long ceased to be a mausoleum protector.
Although the medicine passed down from generation to generation by the Wu family can delay aging, it cannot lead to immortality. Because Wu Gang was unwilling to live in the deep mountains and old forests, he left the Wu family in anger and sought refuge with Lu Zuofu and Sun Chuanfang. He originally wanted to survive in that war-torn era.
He did something great, but he didn't expect to be killed in the fire.
Although Wu Gang did not realize his long-cherished wish, he left a lot of wealth for his children after his death. Wu Gang's son is named Wu Guoliang, Wu Honghong's grandfather, and is now one of Xi'an's leading entrepreneurs.
Wu Guoliang is seen by the outside world as a well-known entrepreneur and a very humble man. What is important is that he is still very young and looks only in his fifties. However, according to Wu Honghong, Wu Guoliang's real age is 85 years old.
His public age is 66.
What is even more shocking is that Wu Honghong's public age is 18 years old, but in fact, she is 45 years old.
This also confirmed my previous suspicion about whether she was an adult.
Wu Guoliang is a legitimate businessman on the surface, but in fact, he runs a huge underground cultural relics smuggling group behind the scenes. Relying on his ancestral craftsmanship, his business is very large. In this way, he can contact people from all over the world.
"Come with me" naturally includes "local masters" like Zhang Liqun and Li Tairong.
”.
Decades ago, after Li Tairong robbed the Lishan Ancient Tomb, Wu Guoliang noticed them. In the following decades, he had a firm grasp of the whereabouts of Zhang Liqun and the descendants of the Li family. During this period, some people had
Driving He to the West, some people were still obsessed with him, but he was always energetic and deduced his plan step by step. Perhaps, he had already felt that these people would be used by him sooner or later.
The first chess piece Wu Guoliang used was Zhang Liqun. As the only surviving member of the group of people who buried Li Tairong, Zhang Liqun was naturally chosen by history, and was naturally pushed to the forefront of his plan by Wu Guoliang. Wu Guoliang used his connections to
He told Zhang Liqun that there were rumors that Li Tairong and the ancient tomb he discovered at that time contained shocking secrets, and there were clues about the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.
And there are countless treasures hidden in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.
The bustling world is all about profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is all about profit. Zhang Liqun naturally will not miss this opportunity to make a fortune, so he has already passed the age of hearing and happily found Hu Bin to discuss the treasure hunt plan. Zhang Liqun knew
, after Li Tairong came out of the ancient tomb, a notebook and half a map were handed down, and these two things were in Zhao Zhen's hands. With this, Zhao Zhen was targeted by Hu Bin and became an important part of their plan.
ring.
Although Hu Bin's city government was very deep and was very helpful in promoting Wu Guoliang's plan, it was still not enough for Wu Guoliang to implement the plan boldly and confidently. He always believed that relying on these people was not enough to achieve great things. So, he arranged for his granddaughter to
That is, Wu Honghong executed Plan B for him.
Wu Honghong, who was born into a wealthy businessman's family, can easily get along with Tang Yan, Mo Beiying and others. There are two main reasons why she chose Tang Yan: on the one hand, the relationship between Tang Yan and Hu Bin is incompatible competition.
It is easy for opponents to instigate Tang Yan to secretly compete with Hu Bin. When necessary, they will replace Hu Bin's "spare tire", but the more important aspect is because Chen Yina is very close to Tang Yan and others.
Their original plan was to develop Chen Yina into a chess piece placed next to Hu Bin, who could monitor Hu Bin's every move. However, the plan could not keep up with the change, and Tang Yan approached Fatty Guo, and Fatty Guo contacted me again,
I became a sudden variable in the whole chess game of the Wu family.
From the beginning, I encountered a doubt that was difficult to explain: Who leaked the information to Hu Bin and made Mo Beiying temporarily give up the meeting on the train? Now, Wu Honghong gave me the accurate answer.
It was Wu Honghong who conveyed this news to Hu Bin, and because she had a face that was harmless to humans and animals, everyone regarded her as a little girl who did not understand the world, but who would have thought that she had actually been
A "young woman" body.
Hu Bin used "Fat Guo" to threaten me into boarding her pirate ship, but I unexpectedly "reunioned" with Mo Beiying through Chen Yina. It seemed unexpected, but in fact it was all part of the Wu family's plan.
Hu Bin is a rare master. Although we were opponents before, this does not affect my praise of "him". If I have to say that the Wu family made mistakes in the entire game, Hu Bin should be one of them.
Zhang Liqun thought that as long as he had Zhao Zhen and the notes in his hand, he could successfully find the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, but with Hu Bin's prudent attitude, he was determined not to put all the treasure on Zhao Zhen alone. In the Lishan Ancient Tomb
Here she tested Zhao Zhen's truth and took the opportunity to get to know me. After that, she pretended to arrange for me to follow Zhao Zhen, deliberately leaving me enough space to investigate the "truth" I wanted to know. Even
Me, I fell into her trap. Using half of the map found in the Lishan Tomb, I, Zhao Zhen, Yelu Qinghui, Li Dongjie and Gao
Yu Han and others came to Mohe together, which is also the "Tomb of Marquis Changxin".
The "confrontation" between Hu Bin and I during this period has been described in detail before, so I won't repeat it again. The reason why I say that Hu Bin is a rare "mistake" in all the Wu family's plans is because even they don't know.
Hu Bin is actually a girl.
While Hu Bin and Zhang Liqun's plan was advancing step by step, Wu Guoliang was not idle either. Because in order to successfully find the Qin Emperor's mausoleum, that is, the tomb of Ying Zheng, there are several necessary conditions: mausoleum protectors.
Naturally, Li Dongjie and Gao Yuhan would not show up for no reason. Wu Guoliang's arrangements were indispensable behind this. He let out the news that someone was plotting the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, which attracted Li Dongjie and Gao Yuhan to join Hu Bin's team.
It was precisely because of Wu Guoliang that we were able to easily find Wu Zunyou after we came out of Zhao Ji's tomb. The appearance of Wu Zunyou made Li Dongjie and Gao Yuhan no longer have the chance to stop Hu Bin.
At this point, Wu Guoliang's plan can be said to have been successful.
During this process, I noticed only a few suspicious things. One was the accident when I first contacted Mo Beiying, the other was the origins of Li Dongjie and Gao Yuhan, and besides that, it was Wu Honghong herself.
To be honest, my biggest mistake was not to thoroughly investigate my suspicions about Wu Honghong.
Wu Honghong's biggest mistake was that she took the initiative to "expose" herself. I have summarized my life countless times. I have had countless women in my life and have caused too many "love affairs". I have this fate entirely of my own making, so I have no intention of it.
Don't blame it on the theory that "beauties bring disaster".
Perhaps I am naturally attracted to women, so that a woman like Wu Honghong who already has rich life experience would fall in love with me at first sight and take the initiative to throw herself into my arms. It was precisely because of that experience in Wenwen Township that I developed a crush on her.
There was a hint of doubt.
Doubt is not fatal.
The fatal thing is her motive. Because of this relationship, I have to agree to go to the grave with her. No matter how much I try to persuade myself, she is just out of curiosity, but this is obviously untenable, but I have no other choice.
evidence to prove that your suspicions are correct.
It was my extra care that caused Wu Guoliang's plan to come to nothing.
But it's too early to say he failed.
Perhaps, he is enjoying the joy of victory at this moment. The coveted elixir is in his hands, or it may have arrived in his belly. The steady stream of power is making his no longer fresh skin rejuvenate and shiny.
Every pore of his body is enjoying this new life.
"Lin Kun, I promise, I can swear, everything I told you is true." Wu Honghong grabbed my hand tightly and begged: "Please help me, you are the only one who can save my grandpa now.
As long as you agree to save him, I will agree to whatever you want me to do!"
"Hong..." I wanted to call her Hong Hong, just like before, but I swallowed it back when the words reached my lips. Knowing Wu Honghong's true age, it was obvious that such a title was no longer appropriate, "I should call her Hong Hong."
What are you doing, Aunt Hong?"
"No, Honghong, I am still your Honghong! I am Honghong, I have always been Honghong, no matter how old I am, I am Honghong!" Wu Honghong tried her best to convince me that she is the person I originally knew.
That Wu Honghong.
"You should treat me as if I were eighteen years old, and think of me as Wu Honghong, who is new to the world and doesn't understand anything. Lin Kun, I am sincere to you and I love you. I love you so much that I can't control it."
