Chapter 1587

The city lord smiled and responded: "Boss Huang has opened a new restaurant. This is a big happy event in the city. Naturally, this city lord will come to support it."

Huo Jilin and others stood behind the city lord, curiously looking at the lively scene around them.

At this moment, Huo Jilin's eyes suddenly swept across the crowd, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

He keenly noticed that there were several suspicious people in the crowd. Their eyes were wandering and their behavior was sneaky, which was out of tune with the cheerful atmosphere around them.

Huo Jilin approached Hu Bayi calmly and said in a low voice: "Old Hu, look at those people over there. I think they are a little strange. They look like tomb robbers."

Hu Bayi followed Huo Jilin's gaze and observed carefully. He nodded slightly: "Well, they do look a bit like tomb robbers. Let's see the situation first."

Wang Kaixuan heard their conversation and came over: "What? Tomb robbers? We can't let them go!"

Lin Zhou hurriedly grabbed Wang Kaixuan and whispered: "Don't be impulsive. Don't alarm the enemy first."

At this time, Huang Shanhu had already prepared the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The city lord stepped forward, picked up the scissors, and cut the red silk.

Suddenly, firecrackers rang and cheers rose.

In this lively atmosphere, the suspicious people seemed particularly nervous and kept looking around.

Huo Jilin whispered to the others: "Look at them, they seem to be looking for something, or waiting for some signal."

Hu Bayi frowned: "Is there something they want here?"

Wang Kaixuan couldn't hold back his temper: "Who cares? Just go up and interrogate them."

Huo Jilin shook his head: "No, if we make a mistake, it will spoil the mood of the city lord and Mr. Huang."

After the ceremony, Huang Shanhu invited the city lord and everyone to the restaurant for dinner.

While Huo Jilin and his friends were dealing with the social activities at the banquet, they kept an eye on the movements of those suspicious people.

During the banquet, Huang Shanhu kept toasting the city lord and saying all kinds of compliments.

The city lord smiled and said, "Boss Huang, your restaurant will surely prosper in the future."

Huang Shanhu said quickly, "It's all thanks to the city lord's blessing."

While everyone was not paying attention, Huo Jilin quietly said to Hu Bayi, "I'll go outside to take a look, you guys stay here and watch."

Hu Bayi nodded, "Be careful."

Huo Jilin walked out of the restaurant, mixed into the crowd, and quietly approached the suspicious people.

At this moment, one of the suspicious people whispered, "Boss, I think it's almost time, let's do it."

Another person responded, "Wait a little longer, don't be anxious."

Huo Jilin's heart tightened, and he was more certain that there was something wrong with these people.

He quickly returned to the restaurant and said to Hu Bayi and others, "Not good, they may take action."

Wang Kaixuan slapped the table, "What are you waiting for, let's do it!"

Several people decided not to alarm the city lord first, and quietly approached the tomb robbers.

Huh!

Wang Kaixuan was impatient and walked a little faster, almost attracting the attention of the tomb robbers.

Hu Bayi hurriedly pulled him and whispered: "You kid, can you be more steady? Don't ruin the thing!"

Wang Kaixuan shrank his neck and muttered softly: "I'm just anxious."

Lin Zhou whispered on the side: "Be careful, see what they want to do."

Several people slowly surrounded them, forming a semi-encirclement.

At this time, one of the tomb robbers seemed to notice something was wrong and turned his head to look at them.

Huo Jilin said with a smile: "Brothers, this restaurant has just opened, it's really lively!"

The tomb robber looked them up and down, his eyes full of vigilance, and said: "It's quite lively."

Hu Bayi also said: "Brothers, you look unfamiliar, you are not locals, right?"

Another tomb robber said impatiently: "What does it have to do with you!"

When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he got angry and shouted: "Hey! What's your attitude!"

This voice attracted the attention of everyone around. The tomb robbers looked even uglier.

The leader of the group lowered his voice and said, "Don't make trouble here, go!"

Seeing that they were about to slip away, Huo Jilin rushed forward and blocked their way, saying, "Don't leave in a hurry, let's talk."

The tomb robber leader said viciously, "Get out of the way! Don't block the way!"

Hu Bayi also stepped forward and said, "Brother, I see you are in a hurry, it doesn't look like you are here to drink and celebrate, what is your purpose?"

The tomb robbers looked at each other, suddenly took out their weapons, and shouted, "Mind your own business!"

The restaurant was in chaos, and people screamed and fled everywhere.

The city lord heard the noise, came out from inside, and asked, "What happened?"Lin Zhou hurriedly said, "City Lord, these people may be tomb robbers, and their behavior is suspicious."

The city lord's face darkened and he said, "How dare they make trouble on my territory? Take them down!"

Huo Jilin and others fought with the tomb robbers. Although Wang Kaixuan was brave, his moves were a bit clumsy.

He was almost ambushed by a tomb robber, but fortunately Hu Bayi came to his aid in time.

"Old Wang, be careful!" Hu Bayi shouted.

Wang Kaixuan wiped his sweat and said, "Got it, Old Hu!"

Huo Jilin used Taoism, and a ray of light appeared in his hand, hitting the wrist of a tomb robber, and his weapon fell down.

"Don't surrender!" Huo Jilin shouted.

The tomb robber boss saw that the situation was not good and shouted, "Run separately!"

Several people fled in all directions, and Huo Jilin and others chased them separately.

Hu Bayi chased a tomb robber into an alley.

"Don't run, you can't run away!" Hu Bayi shouted.

The tomb robber turned around and rushed towards Hu Bayi with a dagger in his hand.

Hu Bayi dodged and kicked him to the ground.

"Tell me, what are you doing here!" Hu Bayi asked, stepping on his chest.

The tomb robber panted and said, "Humph, even if I tell you, you can't stop it."

On the other side, Wang Kaixuan accidentally fell while chasing, and the tomb robber took the opportunity to escape.

"Oh, it hurts so much, I let that guy run away!" Wang Kaixuan said in annoyance.

Lin Zhou successfully caught up with a tomb robber and subdued him after a fight.

"Tell me the truth, what is your conspiracy?" Lin Zhou asked.

The tomb robber kept silent.

Huo Jilin also caught the tomb robber boss and brought him back.

The city lord looked at the captured tomb robbers and said, "Tell me, why are you here?"

The tomb robbers' boss sneered, "Humph, there is an ancient tomb under this restaurant, we are here to look for treasure."

The city lord was shocked: "What? Ancient tomb?"

Huo Jilin said, "No wonder they are sneaking around."

The city lord said, "This matter must be investigated strictly, and the ancient tomb must not be destroyed."

After some interrogation, the tomb robbers explained the approximate location of the ancient tomb and their plans.

Huo Jilin said, "City lord, we must take action as soon as possible to protect the ancient tomb."

The city lord nodded and said, "That's right, I'll leave it to you."

So, Huo Jilin and others took the soldiers and went to the location of the ancient tomb according to the tomb robbers' explanation!
