At the beginning of Dou Po, I received my suicide note.

Chapter 45
Clothes are fluttering, and fairy music is fluttering.

In the middle of the night, the City Lord's Mansion of Shimo City was still lively. There were staggering cups and cups, dancers posing, and a scene that was incompatible with the Dou Qi Continent, which made Chen Guan feel a little dazed.

He arrived in Shimo City in the evening, after meeting the two brothers Wang Yan and Wang Dalang, he naturally came to the City Lord's Mansion to stay overnight.

Old General Huang was an enthusiastic person, so he insisted on arranging surprises for him, and immediately, the scene in front of him happened.

But it was a surprise for him, but Chen looked at the old general above who was staring at the dancer, and felt that this was not specially arranged for him.

"General Huang is a free and unrestrained person. He has guarded Shimo City for more than thirteen years. He has resisted dozens of snake-human attacks, big and small. He is very prestigious here. The only hobby of the old general is this."

Sitting next to him, Wang Yan explained to the young man in a low voice, worried that he would have some opinion on the old general because of this.

Chen Guan came back to his senses, and smiled calmly.

Wang Yan's worries were superfluous, he had no other thoughts at first, he just felt surprised.

The old general Huang is a dignified one-star fighting king. He has guarded the border towns for the empire for many years. He has worked hard and made great achievements. Can't he enjoy it?

"The old general really lived a free and easy life. I used to imagine this kind of life. Let's not talk about it. Didn't you find Qinglin today?"

"No, Lao Wang and I searched around the city, but we didn't find the girl the young master mentioned, but we have already informed the old general about it, and the old general sent many people to search in the city. There will be results soon."

Wang Dalang next to Wang Yan took the conversation and replied.

Chen Guan nodded, he will stay in Stone Desert City for a while, but he is not in a hurry.

That was the 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 something in the old general's ear. The latter immediately sat up straight and looked serious. Quite a lot.

Wave your hand to temporarily retire the dancer, and stop playing the music.

"Haha, little friend, you want to find that little girl."

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

The soldier stepped forward with a little restraint, saluted and said: "Go back to the city master, three adults, in fact, I did not find the little girl. When I saw her, the deputy head of the desert iron mercenary group was about to take her back. , I just met and asked, and then stopped."

"Desert Iron Mercenary Group?"

The familiar name attracted Chen Guan's attention.

If he remembers correctly, it seems that Xiao Yan's two older brothers made it up, right?

It seems that Xiao Yan's current situation is quite difficult, these two people will come out to work hard, and want to leave a way out for his younger brother.

"My lord, it is the Motie mercenary regiment. Their chief and deputy chiefs are brothers. They were formed just a few months after they came to Stone Desert City. The strength of both of them is not high. It is ruthless yet organized, and the combination of the two has quickly established a firm foothold in the city, and has a certain reputation in the small mercenary group."

"Well, there was no conflict, right?" Chen Guanduo asked.

"No, after I revealed my identity, their deputy head handed over the little girl to me. I didn't even ask for any gold coins back. It's easy to talk about."

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

Thinking of the description of Xiao's second child in the original book, Chen Guan shook his head and smiled. The performance of the soldier is enough to prove that this person does have some skills.

"It's hard work, forget it, I'll go and see for myself." Chen Guan got up and said, 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 couldn't hide their surprise while holding the jade bottle.

"I'll take the adults there!"

Chen Guan did not refuse, but nodded in agreement.

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

Old General Huang didn't want to move at all. If he wanted to live a free and easy life, he couldn't meddle in other people's business or have too much curiosity.

"Come on, let's play the music."

On the other side, Chen Guan saw the girl standing quietly outside the gazebo from a distance in the front yard, rubbing the hem of her clothes with her hands, showing her anxiety.

With his head lowered, in the dim light, he couldn't see his cheeks clearly, but he could feel the softness emanating from the inside out. Coupled with some information he had learned in advance, Chen Guan unconsciously felt a sense of pity.

Swinging back the soldiers, Chen Guan walked over slowly.

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

"Pfft, do I look so scary?"

"Yes... I'm sorry, I just said they can't look around."

Chen Guan had tried his best to appear gentle and friendly, but the girl was still hesitating when speaking, not daring to raise her head.

Ten years of life at the bottom, the usual bullying and scolding, made her cowardice ingrained in her bones, which cannot be easily changed with a few words.

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

Hearing this, the girl timidly raised her head and glanced, seeing the smiling face of the boy, he seemed to be really easy to get along with.

I just don't know if he will think of himself that way after discovering his weirdness.

The girl bit her lower lip lightly, her mood sank after a little relief, and she didn't dare to look at the boy squarely.

"Come on, 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. In the imperial capital, there is a ghost girl who calls my name ugly every day. It makes me mad."

Seeing the girl tightly pinching her cuffs, Chen Guan's heart is like a mirror, and he is not in a hurry to make a complete change in one step, too late.

Compared with such a direct method, he still prefers to enlighten her slowly, in the way of a friend, to make her confident without knowing it.

Sitting in the pavilion, the two people who were not much different in age chatted for half an hour without stopping.

To be precise, it was Chen Guan who spoke alone, and complained to her about some speechless thoughts that he had experienced, that he was too embarrassed to say at the time, and so on.

The rambling, dry mouth, successfully made the girl let go, and occasionally she gave a flattering chuckle, the relationship quickly drew closer, and the effect was remarkable.

But correspondingly, the girl also left a label of chatterbox in her heart.

She has grown up so much, she has never seen such a talkative person, 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 dare not
Silently getting rid of distracting thoughts, the girl has a feeling that the one who will be with the boy in the future should be very happy.
