Hearing the sound, Chen Ning's right foot, which was about to step out of the gate of the World Chamber of Commerce, couldn't help but pause, and then subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see He Mu, the leader of the brother mercenary group who had only been separated for a day or two, running over with five people with excited expressions.

Coming to Chen Ning's side, He Mu glanced at the group of people behind Chen Ning with a somewhat surprised expression, and then his eyes focused on Chen Ning and said, "Little brother Chen Ning, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if you can agree." ”

Hearing this, Chen Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, and said, "Head He Mu, if there is anything, you can just say it." ”

For He Mu, Chen Ning's impression in his heart is still quite good, so he treats He Mu quite politely.

"Brother Chen Ning, I want to join your mercenary group, and from now on follow you to the north and south, I don't know if it's okay. ”

When he said this, the look on He Mu's face was a little excited and embarrassed, he was already close to fifty years old, but now he had to follow a young man who was only twenty years old, how could this make him not embarrassed, but since he saw Chen Ning's strength, he knew that this young man would definitely have a lot of things in the pool in the future, so he was a little excited in addition to embarrassment.

Hearing He Mu's words, Chen Ning showed a look of surprise in his eyes, this request made by He Mu was indeed far beyond Chen Ning's expectations.

Although he was very surprised in his heart, Chen Ning quickly calmed down and said with a smile, "Hehe, it is Chen Ning's honor that Captain He Mu is willing to go to the Xuantian Continent with me, but if you do this, Brother Mercenary Group, what are you going to do." ”

"I have already dealt with the matter of the brother mercenary group when we separated yesterday, and I gave up the position of head to the brother who thought he was capable, and now I am no longer a member of the brother mercenary group. ”

As he spoke, He Mu stretched out his finger and pointed at the five people behind him, and continued, "These five brothers must have an impression of Chen Ning, they are all my buddies, and this time they left the brother mercenary group with me, and they are the same, they plan to follow Chen Ning's little brother together." ”

He Mu's gaze was very long-term, perhaps when Chen Ning easily killed the extremely defensive demon beast, and Chen Ning had super strength at such a young age, he saw that he was extraordinary, so he made a decisive decision, and immediately abandoned the mercenary group that he had spent more than ten years of hard work to form, and immediately came to Chen Ning with a few henchmen, and his courage was not small.

Chen Ning looked at the five people behind He Mu, these five people were no strangers to him, they were the other five Xuanshi mid-level experts in the brother mercenary group in addition to He Mu.

As for their initiative to join, Chen Ning naturally would not refuse, and immediately went through the relevant procedures with He Mu and the others, and the Black Panther Mercenary Group also added six masters of Xuan Master.

At this time, Wei Jie, the commander of the city defense army wearing armor, walked in from outside with two guards, came straight to Chen Ning, and said with a smile, "Little brother Chen Ning, the city lord invites you to go to the city lord's mansion to talk about important matters. ”

For the invitation of the city lord of Taoliu City, Chen Ning naturally couldn't go away, and besides, he still had some things to ask the city lord for.

"Commander Wei Jie, I'll go over when I take care of the matter here. ”

Chen Ning also said that he had not yet settled these new members of the Black Panther Mercenary Group, and it would obviously be inappropriate to leave them here alone.

"Well, since the words have been brought, then I will take my leave. ”

Commander Wei Jie glanced at Chen Ning deeply, and finally glanced at the group of people behind him, didn't say anything, and left the World Chamber of Commerce directly.

Just as Commander Wei Jie left, Chen Ning also left the World Chamber of Commerce with a group of people who had newly joined the Black Panther Mercenary Group.

There are a lot of people in the World Chamber of Commerce, and it is a very common thing for twenty or thirty people to enter and leave the World Chamber of Commerce at the same time, so Chen Ning and his party who are mixed in the crowd do not attract much attention.

"Cao Zhengchun!" suddenly shouted as he walked on the road.

"Here, Commander, I don't know what to order. ”

Picking up Cao Zhengchun, who looked to be in his sixties, hurriedly spoke, after seeing Chen Ning's strength, he no longer dared to underestimate Chen Ning because of his age.

In the past few decades, Cao Zhengchun has been able to go from a small mercenary to this point today, and he has experienced a lot of things and seen a lot of scenes, so he also knows very well in his heart that if there is a strong backer behind him on this Xuantian Continent, it is far stronger than his development alone.

Moreover, if this backer is strong enough, then he will be much tougher when he walks and talks in the future, even if some people who are stronger than him, they will not dare to offend him easily.

And although Chen Ning is only in his twenties, he has such strength at such an age, from this aspect alone, Cao Zhengchun preliminarily concluded that Chen Ning must have a deep background behind him, even if he has no background, this talent in cultivation alone is worth following him.

And Liu Tianxu, who is also the head of the family with Cao Zhengchun, obviously thought of going with Cao Zhengchun, so the two of them were the first to agree to obey Chen Ning, because they had already expected in their hearts that if Chen Ning could successfully go on, then he would definitely be able to stand at the top in the future.

And this opportunity is also an opportunity for them to climb a high branch in the future, if Chen Ning has already moved the Xuantian Continent and stands at the highest end of the Xuantian Continent, even if they have the heart to climb this big tree, I am afraid that people may not be able to look down on themselves.

"You take everyone to live in your Cao family temporarily, I still have something to go to the City Lord's Mansion immediately, and now I don't have time to arrange another residence. ”

Chen Ning said in a light tone.

"Yes, Commander!" Cao Zhengchun immediately replied respectfully.

"Liu Tianxu, you should also go back to your family, in the future, you and Cao Zhengchun will do business in Taoliu City, and you can unite with each other and strive to expand your power. ”

"Yes, don't worry, head of the group, if our Liu family and the Cao family join forces, even the previous Pan family will be a little afraid of strength, and now that the Pan family and the Shi family have been destroyed, we can take this opportunity to compete for the market, however, I am afraid that some military support will be needed during this period, and there will still be some forces in Taoliu City that cannot be underestimated, if they unite, my Liu family and the Cao family alone will definitely not be opponents." Liu Tianxu said.

Chen Ning nodded approvingly, muttered slightly, and said, "This matter is not in a hurry first, now that Taoliu City is about to face the attack of the Jason Kingdom, let's talk about it when the war is over." ”

After arranging the temporary residence of the Black Panther Mercenary Group, Chen Ning went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

When Chen Ning came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, a soldier guarding the gate blocked Chen Ning's way, but asked in an extremely polite tone, "Is it Your Excellency Chen Ning?"

"Yes, it's me. Chen Ning glanced at the guard lightly.

"Your Excellency Chen Ning, please wait a moment and let me report it. After confirming Chen Ning's identity, the guard immediately ran inside.

Looking at the guards who disappeared in front of him, Chen Ning did not have the slightest impatience on his face, and stood quietly at the gate and waited patiently, after all, people are also duty, Chen Ning naturally will not be unhappy.

Chen Ning didn't let him wait long, and then he saw the Gutong City Lord in civilian clothes striding out of it.

"Oh, little brother Chen Ning, why are you standing outside when you come, alas, this seems that I am not being well entertained, please, please come inside." ”

The city lord of Gutong had a smile on his face, and he greeted Chen Ning from a long distance, his face full of enthusiasm.

Chen Ning smiled slightly, and after a few polite words with the Gutong City Lord, he was invited in by the Gutong City Lord.

In a quiet study, Chen Ning and the Gutong City Lord sat opposite each other, and as soon as they sat down, Chen Ning said directly, "I don't know why the City Lord called me this time." ”

"Alas!"

Hearing this, the Gutong City Lord let out a long sigh, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his whole face slowly became a little heavy.

"Little Brother Chen Ning, after you make such a fuss, the strength of our Peach Willow City has weakened a lot, and now the army that is about to attack the Jason Kingdom is causing more and more pressure on us. ”

There was some unspeakable distress on the face of the Gutong City Lord, and his face was full of sorrow.

Hearing this, Chen Ning smiled slightly and said, "City Lord, please allow me to ask, hasn't the Jason Kingdom taken the initiative to attack Peach Willow City before?"

Hearing Chen Ning's words, the face of the city lord of Gutong became even heavier, and he said, "Never, the Jason Kingdom is generally only passive defense in the hands of our Xiongnu Kingdom, and has never taken the initiative to attack, this time it may be that they got some order to take the initiative to attack the border of our Xiongnu Kingdom." ”

"Oh, since your Xiongnu Kingdom has the strength to be completely unafraid of the Jason Kingdom, why do you seem so worried this time?" Chen Ning continued to ask with a look of interest on his face.

"Alas, this is the main country of our Xiongnu Kingdom, the Qing Dynasty is about to start a war with the Ming Dynasty, the main force of our Xiongnu Kingdom has gone north, including the ten most powerful Xuanwang masters of our Xiongnu Kingdom, and seven of them have also gone to seven, so the peak strength of our Xiongnu Kingdom is insufficient, and the Jason Kingdom is estimated to have received an order from the Ming Dynasty to attack my Xiongnu Kingdom at this juncture, but this time I heard that the Jason Kingdom is only a tentative attack, and the chances of the Xuanwang master's participation are not large. ”

The city lord of Gutong said to Chen Ning with a sad face, although the Jason Kingdom was only a tentative attack, but as the lord of a city, and the main force of the Xiongnu Kingdom was going north, he also felt extremely pressured.

"Oh, in this way, the chances of appearing a strong person of the Xuan King are not very large. Chen Ning muttered in a low voice, and then a confident smile appeared on his face, and said, "Gutong City Lord, you can rest assured, as long as the Jason Kingdom does not dispatch the Xuanwang powerhouse, it must not be too much of a problem, although we have lost Pan Biao and several other masters of the Great Xuanshi, but the role of the three of them can be completely compensated for in the next person, and even surpassed." ”

"Hehe, with Chen Ning's words, then I am a lot more relieved, I believe that Chen Ning's little brother has a lot of people who are open-mouthed. ”

The original frowning brows of the Gutong City Lord also stretched out with Chen Ning's words, although he had not understood Chen Ning's strength, but he was also clear in his heart, the collapse of the Pan family and the Shi family was the best proof.

And although Chen Ning said so, he didn't plan to kill the army of the Jason Kingdom, at most he just shared some pressure for the Gutong City Lord, after all, strictly speaking, he owed the Jason Kingdom a favor, and he should have helped the Jason Kingdom deal with the Hun Kingdom together, but now his own power has just begun to take shape, and he is still expanding within the scope of the Hun Kingdom, so Chen Ning can't fall out with the Gutong City Lord now, and can only help resist the Jason Kingdom.

"City Lord, City Lord, something is wrong...."

At this moment, a loud cry mixed with a bit of panic came from outside, and then, without any notice, the closed study was directly knocked away by a guard rudely, only to see a soldier covered in blood rushing from the outside with an anxious face.

"City Lord, something is wrong, when the reconnaissance team outside was near the Demon Beast Mountain Range to investigate whether there was an army from the Jason Kingdom, a fourth-order demon beast suddenly appeared, and all the rest of our team were killed except for me. ”

As soon as the soldier entered the study, he immediately said breathlessly, with an indescribable anxiety in his expression.
