After the meeting, Chen Xing and A Qiaomu returned to the Thunder Fire Group's camp.
"I didn't expect you actually agreed. Are you familiar with Big Guy and the others?" A Qiaomu asked curiously in the tent. The "big guy" in her mouth refers to Tienuo, who is tall and tall, very impressive.
"I can't say he's familiar, but you always know how to judge people." Chen Xing said, "Based on the period of contact, Tie Nuo probably won't agree, but Shen Guangming has a chance."
"Sure enough, foxes and foxes are the best friends." Aqiaomu said a slang term from the sand people.
"By the way, what are your plans for the future?" Chen Xing suddenly asked. He had to consider whether to take Aqiao Mu with him in his next plan. If the other person can be won over, take him with you; if not, get rid of him.
The Witch King's treasure. Literally understood, "Ultimate Treasure" means "the ultimate treasure", which has a unique meaning, and there is probably only one. If you want to bring Arqiao Mu, you have to consider the issue of distribution. But if she is willing to join his team, then as the boss, he can "reasonably" possess the treasure.
"In the future?" Ah Qiaomu replied without much thought, "Find a way to go back, then get a new identity, and then find a good master..."
"No, that's not what I meant." Chen Xing interrupted her and prompted, "I mean, after this incident, don't you find a team to join?"
"Join the team..." Arqiaomu crossed his chest with one hand and supported his chin with the other, looking at the top of the tent as if he was lost in thought.
"Although you have good strength, you are still a woman, and it is inconvenient to act alone." Chen Xing guided.
"Yeah..." Aqiaomu nodded thoughtfully.
Chen Xing stopped at the right time and did not continue. As the saying goes, "When Jiang Taigong fishes, those who are willing will take the bait." It is better to rely on voluntariness for this kind of thing.
After a while, Ah Qiaomu turned his head, looked at Chen Xing, and asked in a resentful tone, "Do you want me?" There was a look of admiration in his eyes, and a bit of sadness, as if he had just been bullied and then ruthlessly abandoned. woman.
"Okay." Chen Xing said casually, "A few friends and I have established a master group. It's still in its infancy, but there are about twenty or thirty people. If you want to come over, we are always welcome."
Although doing this is a bit like inviting a wolf into the house, but in order to monopolize the treasure, he doesn't care so much. Furthermore, as long as the team has enough strength, there is no need to worry about Arqiao Mu rebelling.
But at this moment, Aqiaomu changed his tone and sighed, "Think about it, let's forget it..."
"What's wrong?" Chen Xing asked.
"I have to be a cannon fodder and someone to sleep with. Am I not asking for trouble?" Aqiaomu said.
"What are you talking about!" Chen Xing frowned, raised his voice, and looked like he was being questioned and extremely unhappy, "I'm not as lustful as you think. If you don't want to, no one will force you." Then some He waved his hand impatiently, "Forget it, forget it if you don't come, why are you making so many excuses?"
"Man, relax." A Qiaomu's voice softened, "I'm not doubting your character, it's just the self-protection of a weather-beaten woman."
"If you are willing to respect me, I will be very happy to follow you and feel very honored." She said while rubbing Chen Xing's shoulders, "I think you should know that I very much agree with your wisdom and strength. .With your shelter and guidance, my future will be clearer and safer.”
"So, are you willing to join us and be loyal to me?" Chen Xing asked with a serious face and a serious voice.
"I do." Aqiaomu knelt down in front of him and kissed the back of his hand. "My respected master, I will offer my spirit and body for you to drive."
Arqiao Mu's meek look made Chen Xing feel hot all over. What she performed was not the "career ceremony" of the common mercenary profession, nor the "loyalty ceremony" between monarchs and ministers, but the "dedication ceremony" of a palace maid. The first one only needs to put a fist with one hand on the chest and nod in greeting, the second one needs to kneel down on one knee, and the third one needs to kneel down on both knees and kiss the back of the owner's hand.
The full name of the dedication ceremony is "the ceremony of sacrifice of soul and body". Usually only nobles with the title of earl or above can have officially recognized palace maids. Palace maids are different from other servants. From the moment they take the oath, they devote their soul and body to the object of allegiance and no longer have the autonomy of life. The master asked her to commit suicide, and she was about to donate her heart, and this right was protected by law. However, the formal dedication ceremony requires a higher-status witness and is completed under Nova's notarization in order to have the corresponding rights.
"I accept." Chen Xing stroked the other person's hair with his hand and completed the ceremony. He really wanted to exercise his power, but he couldn't immediately destroy what he said, so he had to give up.
"Master, what is our next plan?"
Perhaps due to the servility in his heart, or perhaps due to his past experiences, Ah Qiaomu quickly changed his name to call Chen Xing "Master", and it was very smooth, as if he was born to call him that way.
Although it seemed to be the case, the more humble Aqiaomu appeared, the more wary Chen Xing became, and he even regretted recruiting her. God knows when she will stab her back. For this kind of woman, vows are like eating and drinking, they have no weight at all.
"Wait until Shen Guangming and the others come back," Chen Xing said. With Shen Mingguang's ability, it was impossible to be trapped in the maze for too long, they just needed to wait quietly.
More than ten hours later, the Black Skeleton men came out, and then the Thunder Fire Group men. Ape Lao San of the giant ape group could not wait for Ape Lao Wu to come back, so he was asking around.
"Brothers, you are coming out too."
When Huozui learned that Chen Xing had returned, he came over to say hello. Chen Xing took the opportunity to inquire about the whereabouts of the last key.
"Why, you found it too?" Huo Zui asked subconsciously.
"Yes." Chen Xing did not say the specific amount, but admitted that he had the key in his hand.
"Those cowards, Black Skeleton, were chased around like sheep by the two tin men, but we saved them." He put his mouthpiece on his waist and laughed, "Yang Ku's key was naturally confiscated, haha Ha ha!"
"Is your way out to the palace?" Chen Xing asked.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Huozui lowered his voice in the second half of the sentence.
"Have you seen Yuan Laowu's body?" Chen Xing continued to ask.
"I saw it. He died miserably. His whole leg was picked clean." Huo Zui sighed, "I don't know who could be so damaged. He killed someone and then tortured him."
Aqiaomu's face darkened. Huozui said this to make his position clear. If the Thunder Fire Group saved the Black Skull, then the murderer could only be Jiro Group and Chen Xing.
"I killed the person." Chen Xing said frankly.
"You, you killed him?" Huo Zui's eyes widened, somewhat in disbelief.
Chen Xing knew that it wasn't that Huo Zui didn't believe that he had the strength, but that he didn't believe that he would be so cruel.
"It's a long story..." Then, he told the other party exactly what happened.
"Damn it, it's just one leg, it's so easy for him!" After hearing Chen Xing's narration, Huozui was filled with indignation and twisted his hands together, "If it were me, I would twist his neck into a twist."
Hearing what Huozui said, Aqiaomu smiled happily.
"Brother, I have something to discuss with Staff Shen. Is it convenient?" Chen Xing asked cautiously.
"Okay, I'll ask him to come over. Just wait!" Huo Zui patted his thigh and went to find Shen Guangming.
