Xu Jinhuan didn't expect that this man could not bear the blow so much. He couldn't help but look at him a few more times out of curiosity. After looking at him for a while, he really realized that something was wrong.

"Height-increasing insoles?"

Originally, the clothes Xia Junchen wore were very long, completely covering his feet. Now that he sat on the ground, he did not pay attention to his posture for a moment, and his shoes were exposed.

Xu Jinhuan noticed the strangeness at a glance. Not only was the outside of the shoe raised using special technology, but there were also pads inside the shoe to increase the height.

After this set of operations, the height has increased by more than ten centimeters.

After hearing Xu Jinhuan's voice, Xia Junchen realized what he had exposed and immediately covered his shoes in panic.

"What, what height-increasing insoles? I don't know what you're talking about."

But the more nervous he became, the more suspicious Xu Jinhuan became.

So Xu Jinhuan took two steps closer and observed her carefully for a while before saying, "Your makeup has flaws. No wonder I thought you looked like a girl when I first saw you. It turns out you really are."

These words not only stunned Xia Junchen, but even Xie Datou who was not far away was stunned. He shouted in confusion.

"What? He's not a boy, he's a girl?"

Xia Junchen woke up from his daze and sighed helplessly, "You guys found me after all."

Xu Jinhuan comforted her, "Don't panic. I won't tell the people in the village about this."

Xia Junchen smiled when he heard this, "Let me tell you a story."

She looked into the air, as if recalling something, and spoke in a faint voice.

"There was a girl from the Wang family who married her childhood sweetheart, a young man from an aristocratic family. They lived in harmony for a while, but unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Girl Xia gave birth to two daughters for the young man.

The mother-in-law forced the young man to take several concubines. Not long after, the concubines became pregnant one after another and gave birth to children ten months later, two girls and one boy. The young man and his mother-in-law were very happy.

From then on, although Miss Xia was the legal wife, she was neglected. The young master rarely visited her except on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. Until one day, Miss Xia became pregnant again.

At this point, Xia Junchen paused and continued, "The child she had been waiting for so long turned out to be a daughter. At that time, Miss Xia had gone a little crazy. She dressed the child up as a boy and also told others that she had given birth to a boy.

The young man, who now had a legitimate son, treated Miss Xia with a smile again. The mother-in-law was no longer sarcastic and mean to her, and Miss Xia believed even more that her choice was the right one.

The third daughter was raised as a boy for eight years. Eventually the truth was exposed, and the bewildered Miss Xia ended her life with a stroke of white silk.

Without noticing her terrified daughter, the little girl, who was forced to dress up as a boy, first saw her father and grandmother's faces change drastically, and then saw her mother die in front of her. She developed a high fever in the middle of the night.

They followed the maid that came with Miss Xia to seek medical treatment, but everyone in the mansion had already received orders and didn't care about the life or death of the little girl at all.

Finally, when the little girl was dying of fever, the concubine who was once favored by the emperor took people to throw the little girl out of the house. "

When Xia Junchen said this, he clenched his fists, as if he was enduring something.

Xie Datou was so angry that he yelled, "What a wicked family! The little girl is our blood after all, and they just threw her away like that?"

Xia Junchen nodded and continued, "The loyal servant was worried about the girl's health and wanted to go out with her, so the concubine found an excuse to beat her with twenty boards.

She was already in poor health, and was beaten with twenty boards. When she took the little girl to the Xia residence for help, she saw that the little girl had been taken into the residence and died.

Xu Jinhuan gently patted Xia Junchen on the shoulder and asked softly, "Is this your story?"

Xia Junchen nodded, "Yes, if it weren't for my grandparents, I would have been dead a long time ago, and I wouldn't have had the chance to learn various skills, so I must avenge them!"

Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment and asked, "So what are you going to do next?"

Xia Junchen forced out a somewhat tragic smile, "Even if I am betrayed, deceived, even if my body is broken into pieces, as long as I can kill the dog emperor, my life will be worth it."

Xu Jinhuan sighed helplessly. Well, another Xie Guangbai.

She patted Xia Junchen on the shoulder and said in a gentle and persuasive way, "If someone could help you poison the dog emperor and kill him, what would you provide to him?"

After hearing this, Xia Junchen's eyes lit up.

“Can anyone really do this? I can provide all my skills. Not only can I make gunpowder, I can also make fireworks and ice cubes.

As long as you give me enough time and materials, I can satisfy him with whatever he wants!"

Xu Jinhuan complained in his heart, my goodness, this is an all-round technical talent, poach him, we must poach him!

Thinking of this, she smiled and leaned over to Xia Junchen's ear and said, "If that's the case, then follow me."

"Ah?" Xia Junchen didn't react for a moment, his eyes staring at Xu Jinhuan.

"You mean..." Xia Junchen swallowed but didn't say it.

Xu Jinhuan smiled confidently, "It's just as you thought. The dog emperor won't live much longer."

After hearing this, Xia Junchen felt that there was a golden light behind Xu Jinhuan opposite her. She suddenly stood up, knelt down, and kowtowed solemnly.

"Xia Zhiying of the Xia family thanks you for your kindness. From now on, Zhiying will regard you as her master and be at your disposal."

At the same time, the voice of System Xiao Wang came into Xu Jinhuan's head.

[Host, this person is trustworthy. I think her loyalty is 100.]

Xu Jinhuan thanked Xiao Wang in his heart, then reached out and helped Xia Zhiying up.

Smiling, she said, "So your real name is Zhiying. It suits you very well. Your previous guess was also correct. Not only will I kill that incompetent dog emperor, I will also put an end to this powerful empire."

Xia Zhiying looked at Xu Jinhuan with great admiration and replied seriously, "Zhiying will definitely lend a helping hand to the master to drive those bastards of the Lei family out of the capital."

Xu Jinhuan nodded with a smile, and then asked, "Zhiying, now that you are following us, what about those bandits in the mountain village?"

Xia Zhiying smiled and said, "If the master needs me, I can bring them to you. Although their brains are not very good, they still have some strength and are loyal.

If the master doesn't need them, I will appoint a new leader and let them develop freely."

Xu Jinhuan recalled the scene when she arrived at the gate of the mountain stronghold and they did not fight with outsiders but started an internal conflict. It would be better to recruit fewer subordinates like this.

Now that we are in a hurry to travel, it is better to buy quality rather than quantity.

Therefore, Xu Jinhuan smiled and shook his head, "They have already gotten used to the life of mountain bandits, so let them stay in the mountains."

Xia Zhiying smiled and nodded, "I will obey the master."

So, when the bandits gathered together again, they received this shocking bad news.

"Wow, second in command, what are we going to do now that you're gone?"

"Second Master, without you we would be left with no brains, and we wouldn't even know if we were bullied in the future!"
