The clothes are fluttering, and the fairy music is fluttering.

Late at night, the Lord's Mansion of Stone Desert City was still bustling with people drinking wine, drinking glasses, changing glasses, and dancing girls doing poses. It was a scene that was incompatible with the Dou Qi Continent, which made Chen Guandu feel a little dazed.

He arrived at Shimo City in the evening. After meeting the two brothers Wang Yan and Wang Dalang, he came to the city lord's mansion to spend the night as a matter of course.

General Huang was an enthusiastic person and insisted on arranging a surprise for him, and then the scene before him happened.

Although it was said to be a surprise for him, Chen looked at the old general staring at the dancing girl above and felt that this was not specially arranged for him.

"Old General Huang is a free and unruly man. He has been guarding Shimo City for more than thirteen years and has resisted dozens of large and small snake attacks. He is very prestigious here. The old general's only hobby is this."

Wang Yan sat next to him and explained to the young man in a low voice, worried that he would have any objections to the old general because of this.

Chen Guan came to his senses and chuckled calmly.

Wang Yan's worries were unnecessary. He had no other thoughts at first, he was just surprised.

General Huang, a majestic one-star fighting king, has guarded the border towns for the empire for many years. He has worked hard and achieved great results. Can't he enjoy it for a while?

"The old general does live a free and easy life. This kind of life is also what I imagined before. Let's not talk about it. Didn't you find Qinglin today?"

"No, Lao Wang and I searched around the city and didn't find the girl the young master mentioned. However, we have informed the old general about this matter. The old general sent many people to search the city. I think it should be There will be results soon.”

Wang Dalang, who was next to Wang Yan, took over the conversation and replied.

Chen Guan nodded. He would stay in Shimo City for a while, but he was not in a hurry.

This was what he thought in his heart, but what he never expected was that as soon as Wang Dalang finished speaking, a soldier hurried in from outside and whispered a few words in the old general's ear. The latter immediately sat up straight and looked serious. A lot.

He waved his hand to temporarily dismiss the dancer and stop playing music.

"Haha, little friends, you have found that little girl."

The old general smiled heartily and motioned for his subordinates to come forward and tell the story.

The soldier stepped forward with some restraint and saluted: "Go back to the city lord, three adults. Actually, I didn't find that little girl. When I saw her, the deputy commander of the Motie Mercenary Group was preparing to take her back. , I happened to meet him and asked him, and then I stopped him."

"Motie Mercenary Group?"

The familiar name attracted Chen Guan's attention.

If he remembered correctly, Xiao Yan's two brothers seemed to have done this, right?

It seems that Xiao Yan is in a very difficult situation now. These two people will come out to fight and want to leave a way out for their younger brother.

"Sir, this is the Motie mercenary group. Their captain and deputy captain are brothers. They were formed just a few months after arriving in Shimo City. Both of them are not very strong and have not yet broken through to the Dou Master level. However, they are both civilized and martial. He is ruthless yet methodical, and with the combination of the two, he quickly established a foothold in the city and became somewhat famous among the small mercenary group."

"Well, no conflict broke out, right?" Chen Guanduo asked.

"No, after I revealed my identity, their deputy leader handed the little girl over to me. I didn't even want to give him back the gold coins. It was very easy to talk to."

The soldier replied truthfully, he had a good impression of Xiao Li.

Thinking of the description of Xiao Laoer in the original work, Chen Guan shook his head and smiled. The soldier's performance was enough to prove that this man did have some skills.

"Thank you for your hard work, forget it, I'll go and see for myself." Chen Guan stood up and said, and when passing by the soldier, he gave him a bottle of first-grade elixir as a reward.

The value of a first-grade elixir is not high, but for soldiers like them, a whole bottle is already a luxury, and they cannot hide their surprise while holding the jade bottle.

"I'll take the adults there!"

Chen Guan did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

The two Wang brothers looked at each other and did not choose to follow them and disturb them.

Old General Huang had no intention of moving at all. If he wanted to live a free and easy life, he couldn't meddle in other people's business or be too curious.

"Come on, let's play music."

On the other side, Chen Guan saw the girl waiting quietly outside the pavilion from a distance in the front yard, her hands constantly rubbing the hem of her clothes, showing the uneasiness in her heart.

He lowered his head. In the dim light, he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could feel the tenderness radiating from the inside out. Coupled with some information he had learned in advance, Chen Guan unconsciously felt a sense of pity in his heart.

After waving off the soldiers, Chen Guan walked over slowly.

The footsteps were not heavy, but the girl still heard them. Like the frightened little rabbit, she looked up in panic and then lowered her head hurriedly.

"Pfft, do I look so scary?"

"Yes...I'm sorry, I just told them not to look around."

Chen Guan had tried his best to appear gentle and approachable, but the girl still spoke hesitantly and did not dare to raise her head.

More than ten years of living at the bottom, and being bullied and scolded as a matter of course, made cowardice ingrained in her bones, which cannot be easily changed with a few words.

"Okay, I don't blame you. I'm not one of those grumpy mercenaries. I'm a few years older than you. I may have to trouble you to take care of me in the future, so don't be too restrained."

Hearing this, the girl looked up timidly and saw the boy's smiling face, which seemed to be really easy to get along with.

I just don’t know if he will still view himself this way after discovering his weirdness.

The girl bit her lower lip lightly. Her mood, which had just eased a little, sank again, and she didn't dare to look at the boy.

"Come, sit down, let's get to know each other first. What's your name?"

"Green scales."

"It's much nicer than my name. My name is Chen Guan. Over there in the imperial capital, there is a ghost girl who says my name is unpleasant every day. She makes me mad."

Seeing the girl pinching her cuffs tightly, Chen Guan's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he was not in a hurry to make complete changes in one step, as going too far was not enough.

Rather than taking such a direct approach, he still prefers to enlighten her slowly, in the way of a friend, so that she can become confident unconsciously.

Sitting in the pavilion, two people of similar age chatted for half an hour without stopping.

To be precise, it was Chen Guan who spoke alone, telling her some speechless thoughts that he had experienced and was too embarrassed to express at the time.

He chattered until his mouth went dry, and he succeeded in making the girl relax a little. Occasionally, she could even chuckle in agreement, and the relationship quickly became closer, and the effect was remarkable.

But correspondingly, the girl was also labeled as a talkative person in her heart.

In her entire life, she has never seen anyone so eloquent, and she can't stop complaining, but it seems to be quite interesting.

In fact, she also wanted to speak her mind without any scruples and discuss with others without any scruples.

But she didn't dare

Silently getting rid of distracting thoughts, the girl had a feeling that she would be very happy being with the boy in the future.
