Chapter 136: Lost Soul

Ning Chong arched his hand with a smile and said, "Brother Li, you can make your brother wait today!haha!"

Li Jin looked a little depressed, and after hearing Ning Chong's words, he paused, and then he reluctantly smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... If you neglect Brother Ning Chong, we will punish ourselves with three cups later. With that, he walked into the private room.

Ning Chong looked behind Li Jin and asked strangely, "Brother Li, what about the sixth son and Zhang Long, why didn't they come?"

Li Jin smiled bitterly: "Let's talk about these later...... Brother Ning Chong has been waiting for so long, he must be hungry, let's eat and drink first. As he spoke, he had already shouted outside: "Zhao Liu, it's time for the wine and food!"

After Li Jin shouted, the voice of Xiao Er faintly came from outside: "Got it, Master Li, you wait a minute......

Since Li Jin said this, Ning Chong didn't want to ask more, so he entered the table with Li Jin. But he couldn't stop thinking and doubting in his heart.

Indeed, Li Jin has always been close to Liu Zi, Zhang Long, and others as brothers, but now it is said that only Li has come in, which is already very strange, and what puzzles Ning Chong the most is that even Ruan Hongfu did not come! This is really not an ordinary strangeness.

Although Li Jin and Ruan Hongfu have never admitted it face-to-face and have not married, those who know them have long known that they are already a couple, and they are almost inseparable, and their words and actions unconsciously reveal strong affection and affection between each other, which is quite enviable.

Now, even Ruan Hongfu, who is almost inseparable from Li Jin, has not come, it seems that ...... Something seems to have happened to the Brothers Mercenary Regiment......

When Ning Chong was thinking about it, the little second named Zhao Liu had already served a table of wine and food.

Li Jin still looked depressed, his eyes, expression, and even his body were a little trembling at this time, and in that complex expression, emotions such as panic, disappointment, and pain were mixed together, and the whole person seemed to be about to disintegrate.

The more Ning Chong looked at it, the more he felt that something big had happened to the brother mercenary group, which would make Li Jin, who had always been bold and calm, look so lost and depressed.

"Come, Brother Ning Chong, let's have a few drinks first!"

Li Jin poured two glasses of wine, raised one glass, and said to Ning Chong, who had already raised it and drank it all first. Ning Chong had to accompany Li Jin and also had a drink.

A glass of wine was in his stomach, with a layer of red light on his dough, Li Jin immediately poured a full glass of wine for Ning Chong and himself, and raised it again to drink.

Ning Chong couldn't help but stop Li Jin from drinking, and said: "Brother Li Jin, if you treat me as a brother, let's tell the truth now, is there something wrong with the brother mercenary group? We are friends, no matter what happens to the brother mercenary group, I will definitely try my best to help!"

Li Jin put down his wine glass, and after a long silence, he sighed and said, "Brother Ning Chong, the brother mercenary group may be about to disperse......

Ning Chong was taken aback, during the last gathering, it was clear that the Brothers Mercenary Group had developed extremely smoothly, how could it be that after such a short period of time, it was on the verge of dispersing?

After thinking about it, Ning Chong thought of the reason that would most likely lead to the disbandment of the brother mercenary group, so he asked, "Brother Li Jin, what is going on? Could it be that there are other forces that oppress the brother mercenary group?"

Li Jin shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No, it's not for any other reason, it's all because of me......"

Li Jin's face was painful, he took the wine glass and drank a glass of wine, his face was hot and red, and after putting down the wine glass, he continued: "Maybe my fate with Hongfu is over...... But I can't live without her, without her, everything in this world, including the brother mercenary group, will no longer mean anything to me!"

Ning Chong listened, raised his eyebrows, and the first thing that came to mind was, could it be that Ruan Hongfu had changed her mind and empathized and said goodbye? But after getting along with Ruan Hongfu for a long time, Ning Chong didn't think Ruan Hongfu was such a person.

As if seeing Ning Chong's doubts, Li Jin smiled bitterly again: "It's not that Hongfu is empathetic, but that I'm not worthy of her...... She is the young lady of the Ruan family, and I am just a useless mercenary group leader, destitute and living a hard life......"

"The Ruan family?"

Ning Chong was stunned for a moment, searching in his mind, but he didn't expect that there was a famous family called the "Ruan Family" in Xuanyuan City. But if this "Ruan family" is not a famous family with an extremely high door wall, how can Li Jin say that there is a gap in status and status, and he is not worthy of Ruan Hongfu?

After a pause, Ning Chong suddenly thought of a possibility and asked Li Jindao: "Brother Li, the Ruan family you are talking about is the Ruan family that was known as the 'second largest family in Xuanyuan City' thirty years ago?"

Li Jin nodded, raised his glass again, and drank again, borrowing wine to drown his sorrows.

At this time, Ning Chong understood.

This Ruan family is indeed a family in Xuanyuan City, which had been unknown more than thirty years ago, but because of a rather talented family leader, it suddenly rose strongly, and its power and strength increased rapidly. At that time, although the Ruan family was far from being able to compare with a big family like the Ning family, which had been entrenched in Xuanyuan City for nearly a thousand years, it was indeed the second largest family in Xuanyuan City after the Ning family.

However, the head of the Ruan family, who created the miraculous rise of the Ruan family, will only make a fortune, but will not govern the family, and in the next 30 years, although the Ruan family is prosperous and the family is getting stronger and stronger, they have been seduced and degraded by various temptations such as wealth and power after the strong rise, and in more than 30 years, they have raised a large number of gentlemen who can only eat, drink and have fun. And there are occasional people in the family who have a good heart, and their martial arts talent and qualifications are also mediocre and mediocre, and they are not a big deal.

Under such circumstances, the Ruan family could not fall or weaken if they wanted to, but within thirty years, the Ruan family, which had risen miraculously, fell quickly like a meteor and was quickly removed from the famous big family in Xuanyuan City.

Now, the most famous news about the Ruan family is about eight years ago, the head of the Ruan family who created a miracle watched the Ruan family decline, and died of illness due to great stimulation.

Ning Chong didn't know the current situation of the Ruan family, but he seemed to have faintly heard that although the Ruan family had declined to the point that some of the children of the family had to work outside and even work as coolies for a living, they barely still had the name of a big family.

This is also a kind of respect for the talented deceased head of the Ruan family by other families, and whenever there is any happy event, the name of the Ruan family will be included in the invitation list.

In this way, the Ruan family still regards itself as a big family, and naturally it is impossible to look down on Li Jin, the leader of a lowly and small mercenary group, and everything will be made clear.

Knowing this, Ning Chong thought for a while, and planned to comfort Li Jin first. However, before he could speak, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside the single room, and the voice of Xiao Er Zhao Liu said: "Master Li, there is a girl looking for you outside, do you see it?"

When Li Jin heard this, his face seemed to be much more sober, and his expression suddenly had a hint of surprise and expectation, and he hurriedly said, "Please let her in!"

Zhao Liu answered and went down. Ning Chong saw this and vaguely guessed that the girl who came to see Li Jin was only afraid that she had something to do with Ruan Hongfu, right?
