(Apologies: My computer had a malfunction half a month ago and I sent it home to a friend for repair, so I stopped updating for half a month. Now I have resumed updating. I hope you all will continue to support me!)

Soon, the night became thicker, and everyone was forced to camp in a few sand dunes to rest.

Since no one in Jamara's team could cook, they didn't even prepare pots and pans. Everyone just took out some hard bread and other dry food from their bags and started eating.

Although the desert country is extremely hot during the day, the temperature difference between day and night is large, so it is quite cool at night. The breeze blows, and everyone can't help but feel a slight chill.

When Xie Feng was chewing a piece of smoked fish that had been grilled with bamboo charcoal, he saw Jamala walking up to him. While chewing the hard bread, he murmured: "Looking at how delicious you eat, you are too embarrassed to let us eat these."

Dry and tasteless stuff, right?"

Xie Feng smiled, reached into his arms, and then threw a piece of dried meat towards Jamara.

Jamala took the dried meat, and then said with doubts: "I don't know how you can hold so many things in your arms..." As she said that, she looked at Eric and Cecilia faintly.

At this time, Eric was holding a pot of ale in one hand and drinking heavily, and grabbing a piece of bread with dried meat in the other hand. As for Cecilia, she was carefully holding a big apple and biting it, and there was also a piece of bread on the ground.

Drinking a glass of honey water - these were all "taken out" by Xie Feng from his arms just now.

Xie Feng laughed and changed the subject: "You didn't come to me just to ask for food, right?"

Jamara first stuffed the dried meat given by Xie Feng into her arms, then made a fist with her right hand and stretched it under her chin. After saying "cough" twice, she said seriously: "I think you should explain it to us. You

Who are you? In our impression, you were originally powerless, right? Why did you suddenly become so powerful in martial arts today, and your level is not lower than Al's? Who are you?"

Eric also raised his head, his mouth full of bread crumbs and meat crumbs and said, "Yes, boss, why did you suddenly become so powerful?"

Xie Feng smiled and shrugged, saying: "This doesn't seem to be very important, right? I'm still me, I just keep hiding my power."

"I don't think so." Jamara said: "My friends and I have gone through so many days of licking blood with blades. Although I dare not say that we can tell whether a person hides his true strength at a glance, but

After getting along for a long time, I will definitely find some clues. No matter how you hide your strong martial arts, some small habits and movements will be exposed by you inadvertently. From my observation, your previous hands were incompetent.

You don't look like you're just pretending - the muscles in all parts of your body are severely wilted, you can't fake it, right? And now you - your muscles are full, and you look like a completely different person. If I hadn't been able to beat you, you would really be better now.

I want to rush forward and grab your face to see if you are wearing the legendary human skin mask and pretending to be Feng Xie."

Xie Feng laughed and said: "You didn't know, right? I can do magic. Not only can I disguise myself as a muscle-wasting person, I can even disguise myself as a girl with big boobs - this is what Eric and Cecilia

It should all be clear."

Eric nodded quickly and said: "Well, that's right, I heard Dante say that the last time he was at Shiba Zumo, the boss disguised himself as Serra. Not only his appearance, but even his height and figure

They’re all almost identical.”

Jamala was dubious and said: "Then what is your purpose of hiding your strength? And judging from your martial arts, you should have a good reputation in Calradia. I even have some doubts that you are the one from back then..."

Hearing this, Xie Feng immediately interrupted: "Well, we are actually brothers in the same sect with Al. Al is also very strong in martial arts, right? Isn't it still unknown? I am in a similar situation to him. Well, that's it, Al. Are you right?"

Al, who was silent at the side, was stunned when he heard this, and then he could only nodded cooperatively.

Jamara frowned and said, "Is this really the case?"

Xie Feng immediately said: "Yes! That's it! Are you right, Al?"

Al nodded cooperatively again.

Jia Mara took a long breath and said: "Okay, I'm just too worried." Then she glanced at Xie Feng's face and muttered to herself: "How could you be such a shabby person?" Where is my great hero Xie Feng." After saying that, he turned around and left, going back to eat and drink with his friends.

Cecilia and Al were so suffocated that they were almost internally injured, while Xie Feng had a black expression on his face and was speechless.

Then, Al stepped forward and said to Xie Feng: "Feng Xie, please take a step to speak."

Xie Feng looked around, and the one closest to him besides Al was Cecilia, so he shook his head slightly and whispered: "If you want to talk to 'Xie Feng', it doesn't matter if you whisper here - —Xigua knows my identity."

Al glanced at Cecilia, and then whispered to Xie Feng: "Xie Feng, although I don't know how you suddenly regained your strength, but now that you have recovered, are you planning to return to New Virginia?" kingdom?"

When Al mentioned the "Kingdom of New Vaegia", Cecilia's body next to her suddenly froze inexplicably, and then quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

"Return?" Xie Feng smiled and said, "I'm not from Virginia, so why talk about the word 'return'?"

Hearing this, Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

Al was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Do you plan to live in seclusion in Salander forever?"

Xie Feng said: "I have no intention of staying in Salander. In fact, I am also planning to leave. When I return to Ducuba, I will start preparing to leave Salander."

When Cecilia heard this, her relaxed spirit suddenly became tense. She raised her ears and didn't even dare to breathe.

Al asked: "Where to go?"

Xie Feng smiled and said: "The Kingdom of Rhodok. Isn't it because Charlotte is afraid of the Kingdom of Rhodok that she came to attack Salander? In that case, I will go and ruin her good deeds."

The next morning, everyone returned to Dukuba.

At the gate of Ducuba City, before entering the city gate, Jamala stretched out her hand to Xie Feng and spread her palm.

Xie Feng glanced at Jamara inexplicably and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jamala said very confidently: "Give me money!"

Xie Feng smiled and said: "What money should I give you?"

Jamala said: "Stop pretending to be confused with me. You hired our mercenary group to escort you from Dukuba to Rushdigan and back. Now the task is completed, so give me the money!"

Xie Feng laughed: "What? What are you talking about? Who is escorting whom? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to come back, right?"

Jamala said: "These are two different things - if a group of caravans hired mercenaries to protect them, even if they did not encounter any danger along the way, the caravans would still have to pay them."

Xie Feng said helplessly: "Hey, I said, 'escorting the caravan' is a 'different thing', right?"

Jamara frowned and said, "Looking at your wretched appearance, I thought you would be an honest person, but I didn't expect you actually wanted to cheat?"

Xie Feng said with a dark look on his face: "So I look wretched and insignificant? Then I'm really sorry... Hey! What does being wretched and dishonest have to do with being dishonest, you bastard!"

Jamala said: "It seems you are really planning to default on your debt, right? Sauron! Bite him!"

Sauron was shocked when he heard this and said, "Why me?"

Xie Feng smiled, shook his head, and said to Jamala: "Okay, no more joking, actually I have something else I want to discuss with you."

Jamala once again put her hand in front of Xie Feng's nose and said, "No matter what you want to discuss, give me the money first."

Xie Feng slapped Jamara's hand away with one hand and scolded with a smile: "Is this all you can do? I have a big business that I want to cooperate with you, and I don't know if you dare to take it."

"Big business?" Jamara frowned and thought for a moment, then asked: "Which girl have you fallen in love with? Are you ready to let us kidnap her? No! It's unfair to our 'Free Mercenary Group'

Absolutely not!"

Xie Feng was both angry and funny. He stretched out his hand and hit Jamala hard on the head and said, "Be serious!"

Jamara put a big bag on her head and finally said seriously: "What kind of big deal? Tell me. If the price is worth the risk, I will consider it. However, our team has just gone through a life-and-death battle. Whether it's physical

Whether you’re injured or mentally exhausted, I’m afraid you’ll have to recuperate for a few days.”

Xie Feng said: "We don't have so much time. I will give you at most one day's rest. We will set off tomorrow morning before sunrise."

Jamala said confusedly: "Where to go?"

Xie Feng said: "Rodok, go and stop Charlotte's conspiracy from succeeding. Don't you also want to drive Swadia's army out of Salander's country? It just so happens that I also need your help - you are responsible for liaison with the law

Princess Tima, obtain a letter or token of goodwill from the Kingdom of Salander to the Kingdom of Rhodok, and then we rush to the Kingdom of Rhodok to explain the pros and cons to the king of the Kingdom of Rhodok, and facilitate the relationship between the Kingdom of Rhodok and Salander

The two kingdoms will form an alliance, and then jointly resist the attack of the Kingdom of Swadia."

Jamala was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, but now it is estimated that Swadia's army has begun to attack Shariz, how can I contact Fatima?"

Xie Feng said: "That's why I said we don't have much time. If we really can't contact Fatima, we can just go to Rodok first. We will explain our interests to the king of Rodok and persuade him to take advantage of the situation before Swadia is here."

When Salander stabilized his position, he launched a surprise attack."

Jamala listened and nodded, and then suddenly asked: "It doesn't seem to be of any benefit to you, why do you have to spend so much effort?"

Xie Feng said: "I have some grudges with the Kingdom of Swadia, so I don't want them to become powerful... Anyway, this is the current plan. Let me decide whether you want to do it or not. Don't you go find other mercenaries?"

Even I can go by myself."

After Jamara thought for a moment, she said decisively: "Go for it! If nothing else, it doesn't hurt to do something for Salander."

Xie Feng nodded and said: "Okay, you go to the tavern to rest first, and gather at the entrance of the 'Watermelon's Shop' before sunrise tomorrow!" After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the city gate.

Jamara quickly stopped Xie Feng and said, "Wait a minute, you haven't said how much money you are going to pay to hire us to complete this mission."

Xie Feng was stunned for a moment, then said: "Didn't you just say, 'For Salander, it doesn't hurt to do something'?"

Jamala said: "There is no contradiction between contributing effort and asking for money."

Xie Feng thought for a while and then said: "5,000 dinars."

Jamala's face darkened: "Are you sending away the beggars?"

Xie Feng said again: "8000!"

Jamala waved her hand, turned around and said, "Everyone, let's go."

Xie Feng immediately shouted: "Ten thousand dinars!"

Jamala still ignored him.

Xie Feng shouted: "Can you at least give me a price?"

Jia Mala turned back and stretched out two fingers towards Xie Feng.

"Twenty thousand dinars?" Xie Feng frowned and said, "You might as well go and grab it."
