After returning from the town, Chen Xing called Yeyang Bailiu into the room to talk. The amount of information in the conversation between her and Ye Yang Qingyan was too large, and the "son of the Grand Duke" was mentioned several times, which made him very concerned. Nine times out of ten, this title refers to the son of the Grand Duke of Red Dragon, the prince of the principality, whose status is a level higher than that of Zhang Meng, Luo Shaoqing and others.

Maybe Chen Xing's expression was a little depressed, Ye Yang Bailiu didn't think much about it, so he generously told him the whole story.

At a social gathering, the Duke of Marris's second son, Finn Marris, met her and began a passionate courtship. But Finn's pursuit method is not the traditional way of giving flowers and gifts in the Western Continent, dating, etc., but in accordance with the ancient customs of the Eastern Continent, he directly sent someone to Ye Yang's house to propose marriage.

At that time, Yeyang Bailiu clearly refused, but Fein still did not give up, and sent someone to kiss every few months. Perhaps because of the benefits of the other party, several elders of the Ye Yang family spoke in unison, and tried their best to promote the marriage between the Ye Yang family and the duke's family. Their biggest reason is: "Yeyang Bailiu has consumed a lot of family resources, but there has been no progress for many years, it is better to find a good family to marry, and it can be regarded as making some contributions to the Yeyang family." To put it bluntly, it is a kind of "waste utilization" and "cost recovery".

When Ye Yang Bailiu's father was alive, although he didn't like this eldest daughter, he still fulfilled his father's responsibilities and did not force her. But as soon as her father died, the elders of the clan couldn't wait to marry her off, and for this reason, they cut off her source of livelihood.

"Wait......" Hearing this, Chen Xing couldn't help but interrupt her and asked, "Is that Fern you talking about ugly or has some other flaw?" ”

"No, he's very handsome, well-mannered, and has a good reputation." Ye Yang Bailiu said.

"Then why are you ......" Chen Xing said halfway through and did not continue.

"What he likes is my appearance, but I don't want to be a vase, or become anyone's vassal, I hope to break into the sky with my own strength." Ye Yang Bailiu said calmly. The eyes are like water, and there is a sense of determination in the coldness.

"I can't see it, it's quite ambitious." Chen Xing smiled slightly and teased.

Next, Yeyang Bailiu continued to tell about the situation at that time. In order to force her to marry Finn, Ye Yang's family no longer provided her with living expenses, so she had to fend for herself. But she hadn't graduated yet, and coupled with the secret interference of Ye Yang's family, she couldn't find a job in a big company at all. But doing odd jobs hurts her self-esteem, and she works as a bar waiter with her looks, and it is estimated that she will be spanked wherever she goes.

There was no way, she had to go to work as a mercenary, because this is the only dignified profession for low-level personnel.

Inadvertently, she saw information about a mercenary group on the Internet. It was a mercenary group led by a woman, called the "North Bridge Regiment", and it is said that the leader of the regiment "Hua Beidou" was an old woman who traveled the world at the age of seventy-five. She suddenly became interested, and kept searching for the deeds of the Beiqiao Regiment and Hua Beidou.

The more she learned, the more she admired. She also wants to be a person like Hua Beidou, traveling on a long horse and singing the world, and walking all over the Yellow Sands Thousands of Miles, so she followed the caravan to Longshi Town, wanting to get close to her idol.

Hearing this, combined with the memories of his previous life, Chen Xing finally understood the real reason why Yeyang Bailiu was in Longshi Town. The station of the Beiqiao Regiment was there, and she originally wanted to go to Hua Beidou. At the same time, he also understood the reason why Ye Yang Bailiu rejected these suitors.

She is a woman who yearns for freedom and does not want to be a vassal of anyone.

The world is big and it's small.

It is said to be big because it is really big, boundless, mountains, rivers and seas, heaven and earth; It is said that it is small because of fate, and those who have the same ideals will always be destined to meet.

Chen Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly, he still naively thought that Ye Yang Bailiu would marry him and accompany him to live a small life here.

She is yearning for the golden phoenix on the nine heavenly clouds, how can she succumb to a marginal town. Her stage is the sky and the earth, the endless plane. He used to be complacent, but now he was beaten to powder. Even if he preempts Hua Beidou, even if he gets her first night, even if she is right in front of him, within reach. But nothing has changed, he is still the same as them, he can't get her heart.

"I see, you can go back and rest." Chen Xing raised his hand, and his voice couldn't help revealing loneliness. All sorts of troubles followed, and he felt tired.

When he walked to the door, Ye Yang Bailiu suddenly stopped, turned his back to him and said, "Our Ye Yang family follows the ancient tradition, and women start from the beginning. Speaking of this, she accentuated her tone, "Don't ask me about this kind of thing in the future, I'm disgusted." With that, she left.

From the beginning?

Hearing this statement, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, Chen Xing couldn't help but smile, what age is it, even when he was on earth, he didn't pay attention to this. Who believes? In that era of human affection, there was no such thing as permanence. In contrast, he prefers to believe that "love cannot be without bread" and "husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes".

Thinking about it, the tiredness of many days swept over, and he sat down in his chair and fell asleep like this......

The next morning, he was woken up by the knock of the guards, and it turned out that Luo Shaoqing had brought someone to the door.

Chen Xing got dressed and went out to meet, and Zhang Meng and Ye Yang Qingyan also followed. Luo Shaoqing was talking and laughing with the two, and as soon as he saw Chen Xing, he immediately lowered his face and said in an unkind tone, "Captain Chen is so powerful, he doesn't even care about our Luo family in Gray Corner City." ”

"What's wrong?" Chen Xing asked blankly, as if he didn't know anything. As soon as the other party came up, he put on a high hat, raising the problem to the family level, and his heart was punishable. In this case, he can only play dumb.

"Are you really stupid or fake stupid!" Luo Shaoqing shouted at the top of his voice, "You seriously injured the four of us yesterday!" ”

It's another small thing to turn into a big act, obviously it's just a little skin injury, but it is said to be a serious injury. Since the other party made a move, Chen Xing had no choice but to accept the move and make a surprised look, "Ah! What, when did I hurt your people? ”

Ye Yang Qingyan on the side pursed her lips, very disdainful. Zhang Meng smiled and said, "Young Master Luo, please don't be impatient, I think it should be a misunderstanding." ”

"What a misunderstanding!" Luo Shaoqing's voice became sharper, "Could it be that he is blind and can't see the Luo family crest on their bodies?" ”

"Oh, it turns out that the people of their Luo family......" Chen Xing said very unexpectedly, and then endured his nausea, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, there was a little friction, it's all a misunderstanding." ”

"Misunderstanding?" Luo Shaoqing snorted coldly, tilted his head and said, "I think you're tired of being a team leader." ”

"Young Master Luo, I did something wrong, I apologize to you." Chen Xing said sincerely.

"Apologize?" Luo Shaoqing put his hands behind his back and turned around, looking slightly thoughtful. After a long while, he turned around and said, "Okay, you go and pay for their medicine." He paused and held out three fingers, "About three thousand gold coins, you can do it yourself." ”

Chen Xing's face turned cold, and anger rose in his heart. This Luo Shaoqing didn't plan to negotiate well at all, and as soon as he came, he opened his mouth and asked for three thousand gold coins.

What is the concept of 3,000 gold coins? The pension of ordinary mercenaries is two hundred, and the captain of a garrison like Chen Xing is only four or five hundred. Those people were just a little skin injury, and they obviously wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail him.

"I'm new here, and I haven't been paid enough for half a year." Chen Xing spread out his hands, looking indifferent, "And the usual expenses are also large, I haven't saved a few, or ......" He deliberately lengthened his voice, "You go to the town elder to report the situation?" ”

His attitude is: If you don't want money, you have a life!
