"Come and have a look."

Chen Xing said casually.

But his heart was not as relaxed as it seemed. When he met the girl he used to be, his mood was a little complicated. At this moment, she was already someone else's woman and no longer belonged to him.

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

He felt sad and wanted to turn around and leave, but the brilliance in the other person's eyes sucked his footsteps like a magnet.

Some people are strange. When they have not met, they are like never having any intersection. They are like strangers they have never met before, and they will never remember them no matter what.

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

Then I woke up, there was a hint of nostalgia.

It seems weak and invisible, like smoke and fog, it will dissipate with a slight touch, but it is so stubborn that the world will not disappear even if it is destroyed.

It’s not that I forgot, but that I don’t dare to think about it…

An inexplicable sadness spread among the two, diluting the joy of reunion.

"You, are you doing well?"

She hesitated for a while and couldn't help asking again, Yingying's glittering eyes were full of concern. Chen Xing couldn't help but feel aroused, and a strong impulse arose, wanting to step forward and hug the other person.

However, the hand that had just reached out immediately shrank back. He reminded himself again that she was someone else's woman, and they were just former friends.

He suddenly regretted why he didn't go to find the other party right away when he came back from the Black Death Continent.

Perhaps, he was afraid that their final result would be the same as in the previous life, and in the end, the moon and moon were in vain. He no longer had the courage to experience that feeling of loss again.

"It's okay..."

Chen Xing returned to his calmness and replied lightly.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Su Xuefei, and his arms naturally hugged his slender and weak waist.

A handsome and extraordinary face broke into the sight, with a proud look on his face, and a smile on his face.

Chen Xing's pupils shrank suddenly and became extremely sharp.

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

Su Xuefei was frightened by the sudden intimate movements, like a frightened rabbit. She immediately saw the person clearly, showed her coquettish look, and hit the other person's chest.

"Suddenly, it was scary."

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

"No!" Su Xuefei waved her hand quickly, then opened her white little hand and introduced, "This is Mr. Chen Xing, he is a mercenary. You have met last time."

"Mercenary?" Ricardo sneered in the corner of his mouth.

"When the fire in Crow City was in the past, Mr. Chen Xing took me and my mother and I to escape." As if afraid of Ricardo's misunderstanding, Su Xuefei explained again, "If it weren't for him, my mother and I might have been burned to death."

"Oh..." Ricardo looked like he suddenly realized.

"It seems that..." He looked at Chen Xing again, his tone was lukewarm, "Mr. Mercenary, should I thank you?"

"It's just a simple task, not worth mentioning." Chen Xing said, his tone was equally salty or light.

The atmosphere was not very good, and Chen Xing quickly proposed that he still had something to do and would meet again next time he had the chance.

He is now a public figure, and Ricardo is the same. The collision between the two is definitely the front page headline of the tabloid magazine, and I don’t know how many stories I have to write. In this matter, no matter how it is edited, it will be detrimental to him.

After Chen Xing left, Ricardo did not say a word and walked straight to the balcony outside.

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

Ricardo didn't speak, and the atmosphere was very depressing. Su Xuefei, who was following behind, carefully stretched out her hand and pulled his elbow, "Jiatu, do you have any misunderstandings about Mr. Chen Xing?"

"I have nothing to do with him, I am just an old friend I know."

Ricardo was drinking on his own without responding, and Su Xuefei became more and more anxious, "He is just a small mercenary at the bottom and will not pose any threat to you..."

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

"No, no..." Su Xuefei quickly denied.

"He is just a small mercenary at the bottom?" Ricardo's eyes became colder and colder, with a hint of contempt, "Aren't you reading the news? A stupid woman!"

"I..." Su Xuefei shrank back a little cowardly. Every time Ricardo was angry, she felt that she was facing a lion and was very scared.

Suddenly, her eyes flashed, and before she could even scream, her voice was pinched into her throat.

Her neck was pinched by a cold hand, pressing against the balcony guardrail.

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

"You are just a canary I raise. You should know more than anyone else what you should do, what you should not do, what you should think about, what you should not think about!"

Su Xuefei widened her eyes and was frightened.

"Have you heard it?" Ricardo repeated, his voice low, as if suppressing endless anger.

Just now, in Su Xuefei's eyes, he saw something he wanted to see but never saw over the years.

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

He clearly saw the kind of attachment from the bottom of his heart.

Originally, he was determined to be the commander of the Expeditionary Army, but unexpectedly, he killed a little man who was unknown and directly took away his long-awaited position.

Not only that, even his beloved woman showed an expression he had never seen before to this little person. This made him not jealous and difficult to control himself.

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

At another point at the cocktail party, Chen Xing met Mayor Bert and Mayor Ambissi, as well as seven or eight Mayors of the Fringe Town who were chatting with them.

"Good evening, commander."

Mayor Bert and Mayor Ambissi spoke in unison and nodded to Chen Xing, while the other mayors just nodded and did not say hello.

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

As if on purpose, Chen Xing's eyes passed through the other mayors and fell on him, with a look of surprise, "Mayor Prade, you are here too."

Mayor Prad nodded awkwardly and smiled, greeting, "Good evening, Lord Commander."

John Prade belongs to the circle of old-school aristocrats. He knows what Chen Xing has done recently, and Earl George even met them privately and asked them to boycott Chen Xing, the "rogue commander".

But on the other hand, Chen Xing once helped him. John Prader was an upright person who could not do anything to repay kindness and revenge, so he could not treat Chen Xing as coldly as others.

"Master Prade, are you interested in coming to our expeditionary army?" Chen Xing asked straight to the point.

During this period, he intended to let Mayor Bert, Mayor Ambissi and Mayor Prade go around more, using him and the mayors of the marginal towns around him as a breakthrough point. After all, everyone is from the Northern Wilderness. How can you say

There is also some friendship.

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

The mayors of several other marginal towns looked around, fearing that someone would notice this place.

Chen Xing smiled and said, "It was Earl George who asked you to stay away from me, right?"

Faced with Chen Xing's straightforwardness, several mayors showed embarrassing expressions.

"It's okay. If you think the Third Army is good and you can have some food with the defeated general, then there's no problem." Chen Xing mocked.

"Mr. Chen, you, isn't it a bit rude to evaluate another commander like this?" said a mayor of a marginal town carefully.

"Am I wrong?" Chen Xing looked indifferent, "Earl George brought tens of thousands of people and couldn't even hit the second defense line, and I, with only two hundred people, broke through the seventh mountain."

"Mr. Chen is indeed young and promising." "Yes, Mr. Chen's strength is not something that ordinary commanders can do." Mayor Bert and Mayor Ambissi said afterwards.

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

"Several adults, you don't have to feel ashamed. If you lose, it's not your fault, but the commander-in-chief." Chen Xing said, "A sheep leads a group of lions, and you will definitely lose."

Then Chen Xing's eyes narrowed, his body leaned forward, and said in a low voice, "Everyone is from the Northern Wilderness, I won't go around in circles with you." He spoke in a heart-to-heart tone, "If you are willing to come here, we will be on the expedition."

The army's direct troops."

"If you don't say anything else, you won't be deducted a penny of military pay, and you will treat you as cannon fodder and use it to block the gun."

"Although there was a lot of rumor outside, saying that I am despicable, shameless, and obscene, what kind of person I, Chen Xing, is, and others don't know. Do the mayors still know?" Chen Xing looked at Pu

Mayor Rad.

Mayor Prade felt so angry when he saw it. He was forced to tell the truth, "Lord Chen is generous. When he came to Giant Lizard City before, he specially supported us for two thousand gold coins."

Several other marginal town mayors immediately showed envious expressions.

Edge Town lacks everything, but the most lacks money.

Chen Xing stepped forward and patted Mayor Prade on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Membersman, it's a rare opportunity!"

Mayor Bert and Mayor Ambissi also contributed to the fire.

"Mayor Prade, I swear in the name of Roasted Duck Town that Lord Chen Xing is definitely a person with noble character." "No need to say that Mayor Chen Xing's character is a person of righteousness!"

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

"What else? Hurry up and go to the military headquarters to write an application and transfer it to our expeditionary force." Mayor Ambis urged.

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

Friendship plus interests are like carrots and sticks, and Mayor Prade half-swered and half-spoken.
