Chapter 359 Departure, Mandula Town
Huo Xiangu's face turned ugly after hearing Cheng Feng's decision, but Cheng Feng had anticipated her reaction.
The Second Mausoleum of the World has been the target of tomb raiders throughout history, but without exception, they have all perished inside.
Its terror far surpasses that of any imperial tomb.
After a long silence, Huo Xiangu sighed deeply, and her expression returned to calm.
"I believe you, you won't let anything happen to Xiaoling and the others, right!"
Cheng Feng nodded, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to any member of our family on this trip."
Although a single guarantee seemed weak, Huo Xiangu had no choice but to believe it. She also noticed that Huo Ling's expression clearly indicated that she couldn't be dissuaded by a few words.
"Originally, some members of the Huo family wanted to participate in this operation, but I suppressed their participation."
But since you're going anyway, why don't you bring some of the Huo family's people with you?
Huo Xiangu's gaze was full of profound meaning as she spoke.
Cheng Feng understood immediately; well, another cannon fodder. Some members of the Huo family were starting to get restless.
Huo Xiangu wanted to take this opportunity to openly and legitimately eliminate a group of people.
It's probably a plan to help Huo Ling or Huo Xiuxiu rise to power in the future.
"No problem, let them meet me when it's time to leave."
Cheng Feng readily agreed; sending a few people to their deaths was just a piece of cake.
After discussing the important matters, Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin and the other women took Huo Xiangu and Huo Xiuxiu to see the guest rooms prepared for them.
Cheng Feng went to the study and made a phone call to Hei Xiazi.
The tone of the man on the other end of the phone was listless, just like my college roommate after staying up all night online.
"Don't worry, boss, everything is going smoothly on my end. If all goes well, we'll be able to confirm the departure date soon."
"Blind man, did you go to a massage parlor last night? Why do you sound so weak and listless?"
The bear across from them coughed twice and raised his voice slightly:
"Don't even mention it, I was tortured last night. Those two young women, I don't know which one they were, were particularly difficult to deal with."
If I weren't reasonably skilled, I might have been defeated.
Cheng Feng was somewhat surprised. Although Hei Xiazi couldn't compare to Zhang Qiling during the day, he was quite formidable at night.
He almost got beaten up by two women.
"You wouldn't happen to be feeling lustful and taking pity on her, would you?"
"I knew you wouldn't believe me. You'll see when you meet them. They'll definitely be in the group too."
Black Bear's words were full of resentment, and he was also cursing Mute Zhang in his heart.
If I had known he was either blind or mute, I wouldn't have been put in this troublesome situation.
After chatting with Hei Xiazi for a few minutes, Cheng Feng saw that he was indeed very tired, so he told him to get some rest and hung up the phone.
This kind of situation involving several factions and lamas is not easy to handle; there are too many intricacies involved.
Therefore, it's normal for the preparation time to be longer.
Over the next few days, Huo Ling began a long vacation, handing over all the affairs of the Unloading Ridge to her subordinates.
Every day, he would accompany Huo Xiangu to visit the surrounding scenic spots.
Chen Wenjin and the others would also go out together from time to time, just like giving themselves a vacation.
After spending a week in Golmud, Huo Xiangu finally took Huo Xiuxiu on their journey back to the capital.
Before parting, the mother and daughter held hands and chatted for a long time. Most of the conversation was between Huo Xiangu and Huo Ling, who told her to be very careful and never leave Cheng Feng's side.
Her words conveyed the same message: of all the teams on this trip, she only believed Cheng Feng had the ability to succeed.
Everyone else is doomed.
The mother and daughter saw each other off all the way on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. As the saying goes, "Even after a thousand miles of seeing someone off, there must be parting." In the end, they were separated by the car window and gradually drove further and further away.
Cheng Feng, holding Huo Ling, watched the departing vehicles and said:
"Don't cry. When we get back, our family will go to Beijing for a trip and stay for a while."
After hearing this, Huo Ling buried her head in Cheng Feng's arms and said in a muffled voice:
"Yes, you're so good to me, my dear husband!"
Cheng Feng hugged Huo Ling and patted her back. It took her a while before she reluctantly left Cheng Feng's embrace.
Perhaps it was Cheng Feng's promise that worked, because by the time she got home, she had almost fully recovered.
After all, it wasn't a matter of life and death, so the emotions came and went quickly.
The four women used this time to arrange specific matters after their departure, including the arrangements for the people accompanying them on this trip.
Cheng Feng made the decision: the second-generation Unloading Warriors would not be included in this trip.
Groups one and two were given a holiday. All five elite members from each group were reassigned, along with Nanxia, Beiya, and Cheng Feng's family of five.
They eventually assembled into an elite team of seventeen.
Of course, the necessary preparations still need to be made. Needless to say, his woman and sister are valuable, and these ten elite Unloading Ridge Warriors are also extremely precious.
Therefore, Cheng Feng had prepared some backup plans.
Finally, on the third day after all preparations were completed, Hei Xiazi called Cheng Feng.
"Boss, you can set off now. The meeting point is in Mandula Town, Inner Mongolia. You should be able to get there within ten days."
"Got it. Be careful, don't actually get taken advantage of by those two girls."
The man on the other end of the line, Hei Xiazi, hung up the phone; it was unclear whether he had lost his composure.
After determining the meeting place, Cheng Feng immediately made arrangements, instructing his men to prepare to depart early the next morning.
The next morning.
A row of five off-road vehicles departed from the base and headed to Inner Mongolia via the Qinghai-Tibet Highway.
The entire trip took a day and a half, and Cheng Feng's convoy arrived in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, at noon on the second day.
The line stopped here, and they found a local restaurant to have a good meal.
After a short rest, the convoy set off again at 1 p.m. and finally arrived at its destination, Mandula Town, at around 5 p.m.
Mandula Town is sparsely populated, with a total permanent population of less than two thousand.
However, it's much livelier now, with all sorts of vehicles parked around the town.
Tents were set up one after another on the grass outside the town, and the residents were no longer surprised when yet another convoy arrived outside the town.
Officials had given prior notice, saying that this was some kind of inspection team, working for the government.
After parking the car in an open space, Cheng Feng and his group got out of the car.
"I reckon not everyone will be here anytime soon, let's find a place to set up the tent first."
Chen Wenjin, dressed in a smart outfit, stood next to Cheng Feng and spoke.
Cheng Feng naturally had no objection to this. After nodding in agreement, Ah Xiang consciously led ten disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect to find an open space to set up camp.
When Cheng Feng and his group arrived, countless eyes were watching them.
Soon, Hei Xiazi's slovenly figure and Wu Sansheng's dog-like manner walked over from not far away.
"Boss, it's been several days. Have you missed your dear subordinates?"
As Black Bear approached, he made a frivolous, teasing remark.
Cheng Feng skillfully raised his middle finger, giving Hei Xiazi a powerful response.
"Stop fooling around, you blind man, tell me the details."
Chen Wenjin rolled her eyes, finding Cheng Feng and Hei Xiazi's childish behavior somewhat unbearable.
Hei Xiazi chuckled and walked to Cheng Feng's side. Wu Sansheng, who was next to him, only glanced at Chen Wenjin out of the corner of his eye before looking straight ahead at the Xieling group in the distance.
"This time it's going to be really exciting. In terms of scale, it's probably even more spectacular than the one at Gutongjing."
