"What, Brother Xiao, what are you talking about? I... I don't quite understand." Xiao Jiang's eyes darted around, his hand touched the side beside him, and then he tidied his messy hair.
"Haha, I was just kidding, otherwise it would be really boring." Luo Chen laughed and stood up.
"You should remember which way they went, right? I'll carry you." Luo Chen bent down and took off his backpack.
A strange light flashed in Xiao Jiang's eyes, then he patted his chest and muttered, panting, "You scared me to death, Brother Xiao, I thought you suspected me."
Then she lay down on Luo Chen.
Luo Chen handed the backpack to Xiao Jiang and prepared to walk in the direction of Mu Shiyu and the others.
"Brother Xiao, wait a minute, your gun." Xiao Jiang said, pointing to the gun on the ground from Luo Chen's back.
Luo Chen smiled and said vaguely, "I almost forgot, thanks to you for reminding me."
He then hung the gun around his neck and placed it in front of him.
Then he walked forward. Xiao Jiang was in good shape and not very heavy.
However, Luo Chen had been spending his days watching dances at bars, which left him feeling somewhat powerless.
He was panting heavily after only a few steps.
"Brother Xiao, you're not going to be unable to perform, are you?" Xiao Jiang whispered in Luo Chen's ear.
"What kind of talk is that? You can't say that to a man at a crucial moment. It's a matter of dignity." Luo Chen smiled faintly, then carried Xiao Jiang on his back and quickly chased after them, his pace quickening considerably.
The two continued their pursuit, and Luo Chen noticed some disordered footsteps ahead.
There were signs that someone had walked on it; some branches and bushes by the roadside looked like they had just been broken.
"Xiao... Brother Xiao, it hurts a little."
Just as Luo Chen continued walking forward, he heard Xiao Jiang's voice behind him.
Luo Chen stopped, turned his head back, and asked, "What's wrong? Does it hurt?"
"My lower back hurts when I press on it," Xiao Jiang pointed to his lower back.
Luo Chen was puzzled. "My brother isn't located at the back, so how could he be suppressed?"
Suddenly, Luo Chen remembered that he had a pistol tucked into his waistband, so he found a rock and put Xiao Jiang down.
He then took out the pistol from his waist, and just as Luo Chen was about to place it in front of him...
Xiao Jiang suddenly said, "Brother Xiao, let me hold it for you. It's not easy for you to run away if you don't carry it."
Luo Chen hesitated for a moment, then handed the gun in his hand to Xiao Jiang.
"Alright, let's go." Luo Chen turned his back to Xiao Jiang and said softly.
But after more than ten seconds, Xiao Jiang's body did not appear.
As Luo Chen turned his head, a cold gun was pressed against his forehead.
"Xiao Jiang, what are you doing? Stop fooling around." Luo Chen smiled and reached out to open the pistol.
"Don't move, or I'll shoot." Xiao Jiang seemed like a completely different person, his expression icy cold, as if covered in frost.
Her gaze towards Luo Chen held no tenderness, but instead was filled with indifference.
"Everyone says Grandmasters are very powerful, but in the end, they still fell into my hands." Xiao Jiang looked at Luo Chen, his lips twitching as he said disdainfully.
Luo Chen felt the icy chill of the pistol and shook his head at Xiao Jiang.
"Hands up," Xiao Jiang shouted coldly.
"So, you're actually a spy, not a loyal friend? I'd really like to know what your purpose is?" Luo Chen slumped his shoulders and did as Xiao Jiang said.
“That’s right, it’s me. I’m the one who put the six-leaf bone in there. I just didn’t expect you to have skipped dinner, otherwise I wouldn’t be waiting for you here.” Xiao Jiang snorted coldly, pointing the gun at Luo Chen and shouting, “Put the gun down and behave yourself, or I won’t hold back.”
"Waiting for me? So it was all your doing from the beginning? Or rather, it was all orchestrated by the people behind you? And you were on the mountain too?" Luo Chen didn't refute, and took the gun off his body.
"Of course, everything is ours, so it's not my fault. I just happened to be on this mission. Actually, if you hadn't chosen to bring me along, this might not have happened. Of course, it wasn't easy for them to catch you when they caught you." Xiao Jiang's hand didn't tremble at all. She stared intently at Luo Chen's movements, as if she wouldn't hesitate to fire if there was any unusual movement.
"It seems it was my fault. You deliberately led me away? I'd like to know, who exactly is Mu Shanhai that you value him so much?"
"It was my idea to distract you, because you're a problem. It will take you time to resolve this, and that's exactly what we need. As for Mu Shanhai, I can tell you something: he's not just a businessman; he's involved in a war between two countries."
"Alright, you can go die now."
Luo Chen blinked and hurriedly said, "Wait, Miss Jiang, since I'm going to die anyway, you should at least let me die knowing why."
"I can't go down there and the King of Hell asks me how I died, and I say I have no idea what happened. That would be too terrible," Luo Chen said anxiously, raising his hands.
Xiao Jiang hesitated for a moment, then said to Luo Chen, "That's true, but don't try to fool me."
"No wonder the Grandmasters who came to capture Mu Shanhai were all Grandmasters, and even the mercenary groups were just cannon fodder. It turns out his identity is so important." Luo Chen sighed inwardly. He had underestimated Mu Shanhai's identity. He never expected that he would actually influence the war between two countries.
Is this the mercenary version of the ultimate savior?
Originally, Luo Chen thought the mission would be difficult, but at least it wouldn't be this difficult. However, the current situation is that it is even more difficult than he imagined.
It's likely that large mercenary groups will be involved.
"I know what you're thinking. Since Mu Shanhai is so important, why go through all this trouble? Wouldn't it be better to just send a large mercenary group?"
Luo Chen nodded: "Thank you for giving me the chance to answer first."
"Anyway, he's a dead man." Xiao Jiang muttered, then said, "There's nothing we can do. It's naturally troublesome to mobilize a large mercenary group. We thought we could capture Mu Shanhai, but who knew that a Grandmaster would suddenly appear on the way and cover him all the way here. If he had stayed in Hope Town, of course we wouldn't have been able to make a move, but as long as he comes out, we will naturally have a way."
"However, thanks to you, if you hadn't saved Mu Shanhai and the others before the mission continued, I might have stayed in the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group forever. To be honest, I really would have been reluctant to leave." A trace of reminiscence flashed in Xiao Jiang's eyes.
Luo Chen shook his head, not expecting that the dream realm would have such a fascinating story.
I must praise the system again; I'm truly grateful to the system and its ancestors for eight generations...
"Actually, you can give up now. Isn't your life good enough right now?"
"Shut up! I was born for the unification of our motherland, and I will never betray it!" Little Jiang shouted, her eyes filled with unwavering faith.
Luo Chen secretly admired it, just like a deep and unfathomable pyramid scheme. Sure enough, people who have been brainwashed all have a kind of obsession.
"Alright, that's all. You can die now." Xiao Jiang's expression was cold as he pointed his gun at Luo Chen, ready to pull the trigger.
"You're about to die, and you can still laugh?"
Luo Chen shook his head, lowered his hand, pointed at the gun in Xiao Jiang's hand, and said, "Actually, I'm very grateful to you. If it weren't for this, I really wouldn't know about these things."
"So, do you want to check if there are any bullets in the gun?"
Before saying that, Luo Chen actually wanted to say that classic line from real life.
"I bet your gun isn't loaded?"
