At this time, the situation was relatively stable on the surface, but in reality, there was a turbulent undercurrent, and forces from all sides were vying for their own interests.
As for Tanzhou Four Great Families, Su, Gu, Chu, and Shang, the reason why they are what they are today is all because their ancestors made a living by buying and selling underground things.
To this day, although many of the secret methods have been lost, and they are all businessmen running serious foreign companies on the surface, but secretly, they are still carrying out some shady activities.
On the surface, Four Great Families, but secretly, the four sects have a long-standing relationship. They are wary of each other and support each other.
It is said that it is because the four families have long-standing ancestors, but in fact they are from the same sect, and they were taught by the same ancestor.
In this complicated situation, the original person Su Qiao, under the order of Old Master Su, her grandfather, entered the foreign school Archaeology Department.
But right now, she was following the famous professor Professor Tang, Archaeology Department, to track down a mysterious ancient ruins.
Accompanying him were Gu Family Young Master Gu Han, his sister Gu Ling, and Chu Family Young Master Chu Hui.
Gu Han and Chu Hui are classmates of Su Qiao. Their tutor is also Professor Tang, and Gu Ling followed them hard.
The last one, the old man with a black face and a somewhat lame leg, was the old hunter they were looking for in a village before arriving in the western mountains and forests after taking the train for two days and two nights.
He is very familiar with the Huilong Mountain terrain. He has been hunting in these mountains with his grandparents since he was a child.
It is said that seventeen years ago, they accidentally visited the mysterious Tribal Ruins where they were going.
Speaking of which, I have to mention that Old Master Su is the personal bodyguard Jiang Han sent to protect his granddaughter Su Qiao.
Jiang Han is the son of the Su family.
Because of his fierce temper, he was nicknamed 'Ah Gou', and some people also called him Jiang Mad Dog behind his back.
Both parents were domestic servants of the Su family. His father disappeared more than ten years ago and his life or death is unknown.
Not long after, my mother fell into a well and drowned due to an accident.
Because he is very talented, Old Master Su arranged for someone to train him well.
When he was seventeen years old, that is, five years ago, Old Master Su sent him to Su Qiao to go to school with Su Qiao while also protecting her safety.
On this trip, Jiang Han followed Su Qiao as always.
Considering the safety issues along the way, the team leader Professor Tang did not object.
Unfortunately, three days after they entered Huilong Mountain, due to attacks from several wild boars, Jiang Han unfortunately fell down a rocky slope and broke his right leg.
Although the bones had been reattached by Orion Uncle He, who knew a little about Medical Skills, and he had also taken medicine, the team had to stop when he did this.
After a day and night of stalemate, everyone discussed and hid Jiang Han in a Stone Cave where Uncle He and his grandfather used to live when hunting.
He left food, water and medicine, and also helped him pick up a pile of dry firewood, dead branches and grass.
It was agreed that they would pick them up after they came back.
On one side was Grandpa's strong order before leaving, and on the other side was the person who had been with him for five years. The original person Su Qiao hesitated for a long time, but chose to move on.
But she didn't expect that this decision would not only kill herself, but also Jiang Han in the end.
The final destination of their group, including Professor Tang, is not Tribal Ruins at all, but a big tomb.
A Empress mausoleum in a mysterious country without any records in history.
The group entered the tomb with great difficulty, and went through many traps, and finally found the door to Main Tomb Chamber.
