"Feel free to come and have a look."

Chen Xing said casually.

But his heart is not as relaxed as it seems. When I met the girl I used to be again, I couldn't help but feel a little complicated. At this moment, she is already someone else's woman and no longer belongs to him.

Perhaps, she never belonged to him. They are just passers-by to each other, passing through the only meeting point in life and then moving in different directions.

His heart was sour, and he wanted to turn away, but the brilliance in the other party's eyes firmly attracted his steps like a magnet.

Some people, very strangely, when they don't meet, it's like they've never crossed paths, like strangers they've never met, and they don't remember it anyway.

But when we meet, it seems that all the memories will be awakened in an instant.

Then woke up, and there was a faint attachment.

It seems to be weak and formless, like smoke and fog, it will collapse at the slightest touch, but it is so stubborn that the world will not disappear when it is destroyed.

It's not that I forgot it, but I didn't dare to think about it......

An inexplicable sadness spread between the two, diluting the joy of reuniting.

"You, how are you doing?"

She hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask again, her eyes full of concern. Chen Xing couldn't help but feel a hot heart, and a strong impulse arose spontaneously, wanting to step forward and hug the other party.

However, the hand that had just been stretched out immediately retracted. Once again, he reminded himself that she was already someone else's woman, and that they were just former friends.

He suddenly regretted why he didn't go to the other party in the first place when he came back from the Black Death Continent.

Perhaps, he was afraid that their final result would be the same as the previous life, and in the end, it would be a failure. He didn't have the courage to experience that feeling of loss again.

"It's okay......"

Chen Xing regained his composure and replied lightly.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Su Xuefei, and her arms naturally wrapped around her slender and weak waist.

A handsome and extraordinary face broke into view, his eyes were haughty, and the expression on his face was like a smile rather than a smile.

Chen Xing's pupils shrank suddenly, becoming incomparably sharp.

Ricardo, the eagle owl on the dragon's shoulder!

Su Xuefei was frightened by the sudden intimate movements, like a frightened rabbit, and then saw the person clearly, showed a coquettish appearance, and beat the other party's chest.

"Suddenly ran out, scared to death."

"I'm curious which gentleman my girlfriend is flirting with?" Ricardo said half-jokingly, looking at Chen Xing like an ice blade.

"Nope!" Su Xuefei hurriedly waved her hand, then opened Bai Shengsheng's small hand and introduced, "This is Mr. Chen Xing, he is a mercenary, you met last time." ”

"Mercenaries?" A sneer tugged at the corners of Ricardo's mouth.

"In the past, when there was a fire in Crow City, Mr. Chen Xing escaped with me and my mother." As if afraid that Ricardo would misunderstand, Su Xuefei explained, "If it weren't for him, my mother and I might have been burned to death." ”

"Oh......" Ricardo looked suddenly enlightened.

"So it seems ......" he looked at Chen Xing again, his tone lukewarm, "Mr. Mercenary, I should thank you?" ”

"It's just a gesture, not enough to worry about." Chen Xing said, his tone was equally salty and not light.

The atmosphere was not very good, and Chen Xing quickly proposed that he still had things to do, and he would have a chance to get together again next time.

He is now a public figure, and so is Ricardo, and the collision between the two is definitely the front page of a tabloid magazine, and I don't know how many stories to make up. And in this matter, no matter how it is compiled, it is not good for him.

After Chen Xing left, Ricardo didn't say a word and walked straight to the balcony outside.

Looking at the city lights in the distance, he raised his head and took a long sip of wine.

Ricardo did not speak, and the atmosphere was very depressing. Su Xuefei, who was following behind, cautiously stretched out her hand and pulled his elbow, "Grotto, do you have any misunderstanding about Mr. Chen Xing?" ”

"I don't have anything to do with him, just an old acquaintance."

Ricardo drank by himself, but there was no response, Su Xuefei became more and more anxious, "He is just a little mercenary at the bottom, and he will not pose any threat to you......"

"Are you concerned about him?" Ricardo turned his head and looked at Su Xuefei coldly, as if a layer of ice had formed on his handsome face.

"No, no......" Su Xuefei hurriedly denied it.

"He's just a low-level little mercenary?" Ricardo's gaze grew colder and colder, with a hint of contempt, "Don't you watch the news?" Stupid woman! ”

"I'm ......" Su Xuefei shrank back a little timidly. Every time Ricardo was angry, she felt like she was facing a lion and was scared.

Suddenly, before she could scream, the voice was pinched in her throat.

Her neck was pinched by a hand as cold as iron pincers and pressed against the balcony railing.

A cold and low voice came from his ears, "Su Xuefei, you remember ...... for me"

"You're just a canary I raised, you should know better than anyone what to do, what not to do, what to think about, and what not to think!"

Su Xuefei's eyes widened, frightened.

"Do you hear me?" Ricardo repeated, his voice low, as if suppressing an endless rage.

In Su Xuefei's eyes just now, he saw what he wanted to see but had never seen over the years.

Su Xuefei looked at him with admiration, respect, fear, dependence and joy, but never love.

He clearly saw it, the kind of attachment that came from the depths of his heart.

Originally, he was bound to take the position of commander of the expeditionary force, but he didn't expect that killing a little-known person halfway directly took away his long-awaited position.

Not only that, but even his most beloved woman showed an expression to this little person that he had never seen before. This makes it difficult for him not to be jealous and uncontrollable.

Su Xuefei gradually came back to her senses and nodded with difficulty.

At another place at the reception, Chen Xing met with Mayor Bert and Mayor Ambisi, as well as seven or eight mayors of Edge Town who were chatting with them.

"Good evening, Lord Commander."

Mayor Bert and Mayor Ambisi saluted Chen Xing in unison, while the other mayors only nodded their heads and did not say hello.

Mayor John Prader was also among them, and when he saw Chen Xing, his face became a little unnatural.

As if on purpose, Chen Xing's gaze fell on him through several other mayors, and his expression was a little surprised, "Mayor Prade, you are also here." ”

Mayor Prader nodded and smiled awkwardly, and greeted, "Good evening, Lord Commander." ”

John Prader belonged to the circle of old-school aristocracy. He knew what Chen Xing had done recently, and Earl George even met with them in private, asking them to boycott Chen Xing, a "rogue commander".

But on the other hand, Chen Xing once helped him. John Prad is an upright man who can't do anything to take revenge, so he can't treat Chen Xing as coldly as everyone else.

"Mayor Prader, are you interested in coming to our expeditionary force?" Chen Xing asked straight to the point.

During this time, he deliberately let Mayor Bert and Mayor Ambisi and Mayor Prader move around more, using him and several marginal town mayors around him as a breakthrough, after all, everyone is from the Northern Wilderness, and they have some friendship anyway.

"This ......," Mayor Prad grimaced, as if he didn't know how to answer.

The mayors of several other marginal towns even looked left and right, for fear that someone would notice this.

Chen Xing smiled and said, "Count George asked you to stay away from me, right?" ”

In the face of Chen Xing's straightforwardness, several mayors showed embarrassed expressions.

"It's okay, if you think the Third Army is good, and you have something to eat with the general of the defeated army, then it's no problem at all." Chen Xing mocked.

"Lord Chen, you, you commented on another commander like this, isn't it a bit rude?" A fringe town mayor said cautiously.

"Am I wrong?" Chen Xing looked indifferent, "Count George with tens of thousands of people can't even break through the second line of defense, and I, with only two hundred people, broke through the Seven Mountains." ”

"Master Chen is indeed young and promising." "Yes, Lord Chen's strength is not something that ordinary commanders can do." Mayor Bert and Mayor Ambisi pleased.

Several mayors of the marginal towns looked at each other, and their faces were a little ugly, because they were all from the Third Army. These words, like a slap in their face, snapped.

"Adults, you don't have to feel ashamed, the fault is not you, but the commander who led the army." Chen Xing said, "A sheep leading a group of lions will definitely lose the battle." ”

Then Chen Xing's eyes froze, leaned forward, and said in a low voice, "Everyone is from the Northern Wilderness, so I won't go around in circles with you." He said in a tone of reassurance, "If you are willing to come, you will be the descendants of our expeditionary force." ”

"Don't say anything else, the military salary will not be deducted a penny, and you will be treated as cannon fodder, and you will be used to block the muzzle of the gun."

"Although there is a lot of rumors outside, saying how despicable, shameless, and obscene I am, what kind of person Chen Xing is, others don't know, don't you know how many mayors are not?" Chen Xing stared at Mayor Prader.

Mayor Prad was furious by him, and he was forced to tell the truth, "Lord Chen is generous, and when he came to Monitor Lizard City before, he specially supported us with two thousand gold coins. ”

Several other mayors of the edge towns suddenly showed envious expressions.

The fringe towns lack everything, but the most important thing is money.

Chen Xing stepped forward and patted Mayor Prade on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Fellow, this opportunity is rare!" ”

Mayor Bert and Mayor Ambisi also contributed to the action.

"Mayor Prader, I swear in the name of Roast Duck Town, Lord Chen Xing is definitely a person of noble character." "Mayor Chen Xing is a person, it really doesn't need to be said, just two words, righteousness!"

"This ......," Mayor Prad looked hesitant and embarrassed.

"What's the matter, hurry up, go to the military headquarters to write an application, and transfer to our expeditionary force." Mayor Ambisi urged.

"yes, I'm still waiting to have a drink with Mayor Prader." Mayor Bert said.

Friendship and interests are like turnips and sticks, and Mayor Prad half-agreed with half a push.

Seeing the fall of Mayor Prader, the mayors of several other marginal towns were also shaken, pulling Mayor Bert and Mayor Ambisi to ask questions, and they were extremely eager.
