Chapter 478 Full of Doubts

Following the trivial clues in his memory, Chen Ziyan found the target area using the map.

This is a dangerous place called Qingtongxia. In the past, it was a battleground for military strategists, and battles had been fought intermittently for thousands of years.

After successfully arriving at Qingtong Gorge, Chen Ziyan began to search for suitable terrain according to his memory.

But as luck would have it, he had just passed two hills when he saw a camp located in the mountains and forests.

The camp was not large, with only three standard camping tents, but when Chen Ziyan saw the giant mastiffs wandering around the tent, he immediately knew that this would be his base for the future.

Such a unique giant mastiff can basically be regarded as Yingzi's signature.

Now that he met his own people, Chen Ziyan naturally couldn't pretend that he was invisible and immediately walked down the mountain towards the camp.

But not long after he walked out, Chen Ziyan heard a dense scraping of branches and leaves in the forest in front of him, which forced him to stop.

It didn't take long for each of the fat and strong fierce dogs to slowly appear. These fierce dogs were of different breeds, but they all suppressed the urge to bark and had obviously received professional training.

Thinking about it, this should be one of Yingzi's gains during this period.

Chen Ziyan was not surprised by this. He knew that Yingzi's plan would take time to complete, and these should be the substitutes she had trained.

His eyes swept over the group of dogs forming a circle in front of him, and Chen Ziyan nodded with satisfaction. These fierce dogs had met his requirements. If they could perform well in group hunting, they would be enough to go on missions together.

Just when Chen Ziyan was about to do something, the tent door in the middle of the camp below was suddenly opened, and a vigilant Yingzi walked out with a gun in his hand.

Just when Chen Ziyan looked over, Yingzi happened to look over to him, and their eyes happened to collide.

The moment she saw Chen Ziyan, the alert look on Yingzi's face disappeared instantly and was replaced by a bright smile of surprise.

"Brother Chen!"

After waving to Chen Ziyan, Yingzi seemed to have thought of something and whistled quickly.

"Woo——"

With the short but rhythmic whistle, the surrounding fierce dogs immediately began to retreat back.

The smile on Chen Ziyan's face became even brighter when he saw this. It's really good to enforce orders and prohibitions.

Then he also walked towards the camp with his puppet armor. Yingzi obviously didn't want to wait where he was, so he also came up with the giant mastiffs.

"Brother Chen, you came so quickly!" Yingzi said happily.

She thought it would take two days for Chen Ziyan to return, but she didn't expect that he would follow her.

Chen Ziyan was actually a little surprised. He didn't expect Yingzi to come one step ahead of him.

However, he managed his emotions very well, so he just smiled and said, "Yeah, it happens to be nearby."

Looking at the ferocious dogs that Yingzi was wandering around, Chen Ziyan asked with a smile: "Yingzi, are these dogs newly trained by you?"

"Yeah." Yingzi asked expectantly: "Brother Chen, what do you think?"

She worked so hard to train these dogs just for this moment.

Chen Ziyan couldn't see the little bit of Jiujiu in her, and immediately praised: "Very good, the task has been exceeded."

"That's good." Yingzi smiled even better.

Chen Ziyan was thinking about things at home, and after casually chatting with Yingzi for a while, he asked: "Yingzi, what is going on with uncle?"

Yingzi's expression was a little strange when he heard this, and he lowered his voice and said: "Actually, someone pretended to be an uncle at first, but later it was really the uncle who did it himself."

"Huh?" Chen Ziyan looked at her subconsciously: "Did uncle do it himself?"

This is an unexpected answer.

"Yes, I remember that after my uncle heard someone pretending to be him, he chatted with his uncle for a long time in the study and went out the next day." Yingzi said with some confusion.

In fact, Chen Ziyan's father told her this answer before she came here, and she didn't know it before.

"Is that so?" Chen Ziyan rubbed his chin habitually.

There is a problem here!

He continued to ask: "Yingzi, did my father ask you to bring me anything?"

"Yes." Yingzi nodded quickly, recalled something and said, "Uncle told you to handle the affairs here well and try to take control of the mine."

"Keep the mine in your hands?" Chen Ziyan blinked, his father had given him a big problem.

He knew what level this snake mine was. To put it bluntly, Chen Ziyan didn't think he could do it.

"Well, uncle said you can do it as long as you can solve the problems here." Yingzi nodded.

Is it possible to solve the problem here?

Chen Ziyan's eyes flickered slightly. He knew that this was a reminder from his father. Maybe this matter was not as difficult as he thought.

Other things are not yet known, but one thing Chen Ziyan can be sure of is that everything is still under the control of the two parents of his family, and these two are very likely to play a big game.

Especially the reaction of his uncle Chen Yulou, it was not difficult for Chen Ziyan to guess his purpose.

The Chen family has been passively provoked by others, and even if they have enemies of life and death, according to the way of dealing with them in that era, it is natural to eradicate them.

As expected, the old guy came here and acted like a fool. After all, in that situation, who can know the truth except the person involved.

Chen Ziyan thought about it and realized that if he put himself there, he might end up doing this.

After all, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of them missing you. Not everyone in his family has extraordinary skills, so striking first is the best option.

"By the way, Yingzi, where is my uncle?" Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of this.

He felt that according to Chen Yulou's character, he would have to come over to take care of him when it came to the snake mine.

"Uncle, I don't know where he went." Yingzi shook his head, saying that he didn't know either.

Then she told Chen Ziyan that Chen Yulou didn't know where he went after handling the affairs in Xiangyin, but when he left, he also took away the two weird plants that Chen Ziyan sent back.

plant?

Chen Ziyan understood immediately, and Chen Ziyan took away the wooden root and Tai Sui Xu that he brought from King Xian's tomb.

But what was he going to do with these two things?

Chen Ziyan did not think that Chen Yulou wanted to sell these two things. His uncle, Chen Ziyan, was not so short-sighted.

These two treasures can definitely be regarded as priceless treasures, and their family is not short of money. Keeping them as a treasure is no better than selling them.

While talking, the two of them also returned to the camp, and Chen Ziyan temporarily put aside all the doubts in his heart.

He looked at the tents in front of him and asked puzzledly: "Yingzi, are you coming here by yourself this time?"

According to Chen Ziyan's expectation, even if he couldn't send too many people over, he still had to arrange a few helpers to run errands.

Yingzi didn't care much: "That's not true. My uncle sent someone to send me here. They are in the nearest county. We need them to send our supplies in the future, but I am the only one here."

It’s so weird everywhere!

Chen Ziyan muttered in his heart.

But this is not a big deal. Not only do they have two puppet armors with them, but there are also so many well-trained dogs following them, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.

Especially those giant mastiffs that followed Yingzi closely. These guys were not easy to deal with.

It is said that there was a saying in Changsha that the strongest black sword Lao Liu would not draw his sword easily when faced with Gou Wuye who had fifteen dogs.

This shows how powerful this trained fierce dog is.

Chen Ziyan didn't feel at all that Yingzi's five giant mastiffs were no match for Gou Wuye's fifteen dogs.

You must know that the six most powerful exotic dogs owned by Master Gou Wu were not included, which means that this is what the so-called fifteen dogs refer to.

To put it bluntly, in this place where strange snakes will appear at any time, these ferocious dogs that have been trained by Yingzi, a hunter, are more reliable than humans to a certain extent.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan was suddenly stunned. He felt that it was probably because of this that his father asked everyone who followed him to settle in a nearby county.

"Brother Chen, are you hungry?" Just as Chen Ziyan was thinking, Yingzi suddenly asked.

"Ah... not bad." Chen Ziyan came back to his senses and shook his head gently.

Although he had walked a part of the mountain road, he was not yet hungry. Now he wanted to learn more information first.

He looked around and asked, "Are we the only ones here?"

Chen Ziyan remembered that the entrance to the Snake Mine seemed to be in a mountain col, but now this place is located on the mountainside.

"No." Yingzi shook his head slightly, pointed in the direction behind the tent and said, "There is also a camp on the hillside over there, but I don't know where those people came from."

She only arrived a little earlier than Chen Ziyan, but she had seen the other party's camp when she came and had not had time to make contact with him.

"Are there many of them?" Chen Ziyan continued to ask.

"There were about twenty or thirty people. Maybe some people stayed in the tent and didn't come out," Eiko recalled.

"That's it, I understand." Chen Ziyan nodded lightly and did not continue to ask.

He saw that Yingzi didn't know much, so he planned to go over and explore the other party's background in person after settling the situation here.

Chen Ziyan suspected that the people over there were from the Folklore Affairs Bureau.

It is not difficult to tell from Liu San’s previous statement that the Snake Mine also falls under the other party’s jurisdiction.

Now that there is a problem at the Snake Mine, it is normal for the other party to send people over to solve the problem.

"Zhizhi——"

Just when Chen Ziyan wanted to ask if there was anything he could do to help, a familiar cry suddenly sounded from the vegetation nearby, and then a petite white shadow jumped into his arms from inside.

"Little fairy?" Looking at the little guy who was looking at him with resentment in his arms, Chen Ziyan looked surprised.

He thought Yingzi only brought the giant mastiff and those dogs, but he didn't expect that she also brought this little guy.

But before Chen Ziyan could get a response to his words, more "squeaking" sounds came from the place where the little fairy came out, and then Chen Ziyan saw many yellow heads poking out from there, which turned out to be a group of weasels.

The ecological environment of this place is very good. It is not surprising that there are weasels, but Chen Ziyan knows that there are not only black-haired snakes here, but also a creature that can only be seen in ancient books. There is no such thing within a few dozen miles.

There are birds and animals staying.

After seeing the confusion in Chen Ziyan's eyes, Yingzi took the initiative and said before he asked, "Brother Chen, these yellow leather bags were specially sent by my uncle, saying they can help you."

She was actually about to tell Chen Ziyan about this, but was interrupted by the appearance of Little Fairy Girl, so she just wanted to say it now.

Chen Ziyan's eyes wandered back and forth between the little fairy and those yellow men, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

That is whether these yellow-skinned men can deal with black-haired snakes.

Although not as professional as meerkats and honeypots, weasels are also one of the natural enemies of snakes. If the black-haired snakes don't go too far, these guys might really be able to help him deal with the black-haired snakes coming out of the snake mine.

Although Chen Ziyan is not sure to what extent the snake mine has reached, he does know one thing. That is, until Wu Xie comes here in the future, the snake mine will not be truly out of control. At most, a few black-haired snakes will wake up.

Ran out.

If the number of black-haired snakes is relatively small, weasels should be able to hunt them.

In fact, when Chen Ziyan came here, he had been thinking about whether he should find a way to subdue the nephew. After all, the other party was most likely to be the real guard of the snake mine.

But his understanding of that thing was really limited, and what he knew was of little value, so he couldn't think of a good solution.

And now the appearance of the little fairy girl has provided him with an idea, that is, he can build a biological cage outside the snake mine.

Use weasels in the inner layer. All of these guys are good at catching snakes, and there are little fairies who can control them. It is simply one of the most suitable choices.

Moreover, the huge number of weasels means that it will not be difficult to replenish them, and even slightly modifying the people around them to create a nominal breeding farm is not a problem.

After all, compared to the huge cost, Chen Ziyan's method is simply not affordable anymore.

etc!

Chen Ziyan looked at Yingzi and asked: "Yingzi, what did you just say? Are these yellow leather goods specially sent by my father?"

His attention was focused on the weasel, and only now did he notice Yingzi's words. If this was the case, wouldn't it mean that his father had already made a plan.

"Well, uncle said these yellow men can help." Yingzi repeated Chen's father's words.

"Tsk, it feels really uncomfortable to be arranged like this." Chen Ziyan muttered in a low voice.

Now he suddenly felt like he was a marionette, as if every step he took next was a planned script.

But he soon recovered on his own, because Chen Ziyan knew very well that puppets on strings were impossible. Many of his plans were made on the spur of the moment, and even his own father couldn't control them.

But now that such a situation occurs, it is more likely that the two of them thought of getting together.
