At that small market outside the Lingchuan Mountains, Yu Wenlei actually met Liu Ying once. Such a coincidence could really be regarded as fate. It turned out that when Yuwen Lei was wanted nationwide in the Imperial Palace, wanted notices were posted all over Xiling City. Everyone in Yangzhi Pavilion knew that Liu Ying was related to Yu Wen Lei. In order to avoid getting into trouble, Lin Yuanhong of Yangzhi Pavilion finally decided to , sent Liu Ying out of Xiling City.
Yu Wenlei curled his lips, but after thinking about it, he felt that this move was reasonable. After all, some people in Yangzhi Pavilion knew about this. If Liu Ying was not sent away, not only would Yangzhi Pavilion be in trouble, but Liu Ying would be even more in danger.
After leaving Xiling City, Liu Ying didn't know where to go, so she could only go back to the market and found a few old members of the Fire Fox Mercenary Group. Then, she led the Fire Fox Mercenary Group again outside the mountain range. Make a living in the area.
"Captain Liu, it's me who has caused trouble for you..." Yu Wenlei said slightly apologetically. Although the Liu Ying in front of him was full of charm, there was a trace of vicissitudes between his eyebrows, which must have been caused by running around in the past two years. . Yu Wenlei could tell at a glance that her cultivation level was at the fourth level of the Lingyuan realm. In two years, she did not have enough resources to support her, and her improvement was not great.
"Little brother Yuwen, please don't say that. If it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago! Little brother's great kindness will never be forgotten by Liu Ying." Liu Ying said every word sincerely, and for a moment, Yu Wenlei was also quite moved. , even Wu Shu on the side gave him a strange look.
"Captain Liu, we are going to stay in a restaurant for one night, so we will leave first." Yu Wenlei said.
"Uh... little brother Yuwen, forgive Liuying for asking, this... this girl is yours..."
"Ahem, don't get me wrong. Her name is Wu Shu, and we have only known each other for a while..." Yu Wenlei was stunned, and quickly shook his hand and said awkwardly.
Hearing this, Wu Shu rolled her eyes and snorted, thinking to herself, how could this ungrateful Yu Wenlei be so clear about it, not even calling him a friend?
"Well, little brother Yuwen, if you don't mind, why don't you stay at the Fire Fox Mercenary Group for one night?" Liu Ying asked eagerly.
"Well, okay, excuse me then."
Later, Yu Wenlei and Wu Shu were led by Liu Ying to a small courtyard deep in the market. They pushed the door and went in. The courtyard was quite clean and spacious. There was a simple living room directly opposite the door, with about Seven or eight rooms. There are only six members of the Fire Fox Mercenary Group now, so living here is just fine.
"You two, I hope you don't mind it. There are two rooms over there that have been vacant. I'll ask someone to clean them."
"It doesn't matter, let's do it ourselves." Yu Wenlei gave up. Although he is the young master of the Yuwen family, he has been self-reliant since he was a child and has no airs.
That night, six members of the Fire Fox mercenary group, including Liu Ying, came together to help Yu Wenlei and Wu Shu. Liu Ying had always been thrifty and had never been so extravagant. Today was indeed uncharacteristic of herself. She ate and drank as much as she could to enjoy herself. The others The members of the mercenary group were quite puzzled and glanced at the young man and woman with extraordinary temperament from time to time.
At night, with the bright moon in the sky, there was still a faint smell of alcohol in the yard. Yu Wenlei also drank a lot. It seemed that everyone was already asleep. At this time, a burst of light footsteps gradually approached. Although Yu Wenlei closed his eyes, there was nothing outside. Every move he makes is under his perception.
Boom, boom.
The footsteps hesitated outside the door for a moment, and then there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Yu Wenlei said calmly.
With a creak, the door was pushed open, and it was Captain Liu Ying who came in. At this time, her face was still flushed, adding a hint of charm, obviously the drunkenness just now had not faded away.
"Master Yuwen, can I talk to you..." Liu Ying took a breath and said after entering the door.
Yu Wenlei was slightly surprised. He stood up and walked to the door. He could see the other party clearly through the moonlight. It had to be said that although Liu Ying was over thirty, she still looked graceful and charming. "Of course, Liu Ying The leader has something to say?"
"Well, Mr. Yuwen, I..." Liu Ying thought for a moment and didn't know how to speak.
"Captain Liu, let's go for a walk outside and chat while we walk."
"Yes, Mr. Yuwen, please."
The two of them walked outside. The moonlight was slightly bright, and there were several stone benches in the courtyard. They sat down casually.
"Young master, don't call me Captain Liu from now on. Just call me Liu Ying. Young Master Yuwen, since we said goodbye last time in Xiling City, I really didn't expect to see you again!" Liu Ying said slowly.
"Indeed, I didn't expect it, maybe it's fate."
"Master Yuwen, you saved my life. I want to follow you and repay your life-saving grace, even if I am a servant, I am willing to do so."
"Uh, this..."
"Master Yuwen, I remember when you said goodbye last time, the future is unpredictable. Maybe I can help you in the future. Now, I have really met you again. I don't want to miss this time again." Liu Ying had firm eyes and spoke from the bottom of his heart.
"This... okay! I did say so. Since we are destined, I will promise you, but how will you deal with your brother in the mercenary group?" Yu Wenlei nodded.
"Young Master Yuwen, you agreed! Then... Don't worry, Young Master, I will demobilize the people in the mercenary group and resettle them." Liu Ying looked happy and a little excited beyond words.
"Well, it's fine to be dismissed. If they are willing to follow me, that's fine."
Liu Ying nodded repeatedly. She had no hope at first. After all, in her opinion, Yu Wenlei was probably used to being alone. Bringing her along was undoubtedly a burden, but she finally spoke. Unexpectedly, just because she plucked up the courage to speak, her life trajectory changed dramatically...
After chatting for a long time, Yu Wenlei and Liu Ying walked back to their rooms respectively. After Yu Wenlei went back, the door of the next door was also open, and the girl Wu Shu leaned at the door and stared at him strangely.
"Oh, Mr. Yuwen... you are quite charming. You can meet people following you in these wild mountains and forests..." Wu Shu said strangely, with a hint of something different in his tone.
"Ahem, Miss Wu is joking. I have known Captain Liu for a long time, and we do have some connections."
"Hey, I don't believe it." After saying that, Wu Shu closed the door and left the speechless Yu Wenlei there.
Yu Wenlei's drunkenness had dissipated at this time, and he sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated all night. The next day, dawn came and the sky gradually became brighter. Yu Wenlei exhaled a breath of turbid air and looked full of energy.
When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room, Yu Wenlei stretched his muscles a few times, and suddenly there were hurried footsteps approaching again.
"Master Yuwen, are you up? I have something to report to you from the slave family." Liu Ying called outside the door. It had just been one night, and Liu Ying had even changed her title. She actually called herself 'the slave family', which really made Yu Wenlei dumbfounded.
He pushed the door open and walked out. At this time, Wu Shu also stepped out of the room. The girl pretended to rub her eyes and was still mumbling about not waking up, as if she was blaming Liu Ying.
"What's the matter? It's so early and I haven't even finished my meditation yet!"
"Miss Wu, forgive me. It's like this. Something big happened outside. The slave family heard about it and rushed over immediately..." Liu Ying apologized, but she didn't care about Wu Shu at all.
"Oh? This is strange. What's the big deal in this small market on the barren mountain?" Yu Wenlei asked.
"Sir, mercenary groups are being mobilized outside. Seventy or eighty mercenary groups have been assembled within hundreds of miles. I heard that the young city lord of Feihong City had a conflict with the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. The Wolf Head Mercenary Group It is the strongest mercenary group in the nearby area, and now the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Jin Lang, is issuing a call to assemble a hundred regiments to attack Feihong City tomorrow!"
"Oh? Hundred-regiment battle, attack Feihong City..."
