"You guys stay here first, I'll go with him and be back soon." Xu Jinhuan turned around and instructed.

After all, if something unexpected happened, she wouldn't be able to do anything with these people.

Most of the people present were confused. What was Boss Xu talking about? The second in command hadn't even come out, so why was he inviting them so warmly?

If Boss Xu just goes over there like that, won't she be shot to pieces by the people in the village with bows and arrows?

Li Yichang and Xie Datou exchanged a glance, and Li Yichang whispered, "Brother Xie, you must protect the boss. The second in command of this village is not an ordinary person, and we have become his helpers without knowing it."

Xie Datou was a little confused when he heard this, "What? How come we have become helpers without even meeting each other? Li Yichang, you are not awake yet, are you?"

Li Yichang shook his head helplessly. As one of the few smart people in the team, he was the only one sober while everyone else was drunk.

"Thank you, brother. I don't have time to explain so much to you. Just remember what I said. I will explain it to you in detail after I finish the work."

Seeing Li Yichang's serious expression and the fact that this matter concerned Xu Jinhuan's safety, Xie Datou immediately said, "Okay, I'll stay with the boss now."

After saying that, he grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist and walked quickly towards Xu Jinhuan. After taking two steps, he saw someone standing next to Xu Jinhuan.

"Brother Kong, when did you come here?" Xie Datou asked in surprise.

Kong Duiyue glanced at Xie Datou with disdain, a grown man dithering like that. If Jinhuan was really in danger, you probably wouldn’t be able to make it in time, right?

Therefore, he said calmly: "This second in command of the village is a bit strange. Although I am not good at martial arts, I think I am quite smart. I want to see if I can help Miss Xu."

Xie Datou didn't notice Kong Duiyue's disgusted look at all. He patted Kong Duiyue's shoulder happily.

"I see, don't worry, Brother Kong, I will protect you and the boss!"

As the two were talking, they had already reached the gate of the village.

The guard of the mountain stronghold looked at the people coming out of the darkness, subconsciously raised his long sword, and looked at the newcomers fiercely.

“Who is it?!”

After several people walked out of the darkness completely, his face changed even more when he saw the unlucky little guy who was tied up tightly.

"Er Gouzi? Didn't you go out with the boss? How come you were kidnapped and brought back? Where is the boss?"

While asking questions, he did not forget to pull down the inconspicuous rope at hand. At the moment the rope was pulled down, a beautiful firework bloomed in the sky.

"These fireworks are well made!"

Xu Jinhuan looked up at the large fireworks blooming in the night sky and then quickly dissipating, and sighed.

Although she looked relaxed, her hand had already touched the hilt of the knife. Anyone could tell that it was a flare, so it would be strange if they didn't take precautions.

Kong Duiyue looked at the people around him tenderly. He didn't expect that they would have the opportunity to watch the fireworks under the same sky. Although there was only one, it was still an unforgettable memory for him.

At the same time, his mental power was not idle. After carefully floating out, he took advantage of Xu Jinhuan's unawareness to quickly investigate the situation in the village to prevent any accidents.

"What do you want to do? Don't think that you can come to the village and show off your power just because our boss is not here. I am not afraid to tell you that our second in command is the real powerful one!"

Xu Jinhuan didn't get angry after hearing this, and asked with a smile: "Oh? Your second in command is so powerful? I wonder what makes him so powerful?"

The guard seemed to have not expected that the other party not only did not draw his sword, but instead asked questions with great interest, he said dryly.

"Did you see the fireworks just now? You can't see such beautiful ones even in the capital. They were made by our second in command!"

After hearing his reply, Xu Jinhuan's eyes flashed with understanding. It seemed that the maker of the explosives was most likely the second in command.

But she didn't know why he went to so much trouble to lure her here.

Just then, hurried footsteps and voices were heard from the village.

"Tani, what happened?"

"Is the boss back?"

"You are stupid. How can the boss light fireworks when he comes back?"

A group of strong men wearing coarse clothes walked out of the mountain village and saw Xu Jinhuan and his four companions.

A skinny young girl, a pretty boy with a pale face who looked like he would be buried tomorrow, and the only thing worth looking at was the big head with a scar on it.

"Er Gouzi, you are too weak. You were caught by these people?"

A burly man laughed and mocked the unfortunate little guy who was tied up tightly.

Er Gouzi looked speechlessly at the strong men in front of him who were only taller than him and had no brains, and shouted, "What are you brainless people doing here? Hurry up and call the Second In Commander."

The strong men didn't understand the hidden meaning of Ergouzi's words at all. They just thought that he was anxious to be rescued.

Therefore, they all responded loudly.

"Hey, look how scared Daddy's son is. His black face is about to turn into a white face. Don't be afraid, your dad is coming right now."

"Don't worry, Er Gouzi. Grandpa will rescue you right now."

"Sun Daqiang, who are you taking advantage of? Ergouzi's grandfather? What? Do you want to be my father?" A sturdy man reacted and immediately said to the person next to him unhappily.

The other person didn't care at all, and replied in a sly voice: "What's wrong with me being your father? If your grandmother were still alive, I would want to be your grandfather!"

The sturdy man was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He picked up a wooden stick and swung it at the man, "Fuck you, Sun Daqiang, I think you deserve a beating."

As they were talking, they hadn't even started fighting with the people outside yet, but now their own people were fighting.

Er Gouzi, who was taken advantage of, sighed silently. To be honest, he was the one who wanted to hit others.

"The warm-up activities in your village are quite unique." Xu Jinhuan said with a smile.

Er Gouzi sighed again when he heard this. It was so embarrassing. Second in command, you are needed here, please come out quickly!

As if sensing Er Gouzi's call, the elusive second in command finally revealed his true face.

I saw a young man in his twenties walking leisurely from a distance.

His eyebrows and eyes were picturesque. If he were not eight feet tall, wearing men's clothes, with a flat chest and no pierced ears, he would have looked like a female maid dressed as a man.

"Xia Junchen, Xia Family of Yizhou."

He bowed to Xu Jinhuan and others with a gentle smile and introduced himself.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jinhuan casually cupped his hands and only gave his name, "Xu Jinhuan."

"Thank you, big head."

"Kong Zuiyue."

"Two dogs."

Xie Datou and his group followed Xu Jinhuan, so they simply reported their names.

But Ergouzi, for some reason, also followed the formation.
