"It's been almost a year since I went to Snake Hall!" Gong Yaxin said.

"Really? Then why didn't you tell me anything?"

"Uh..."

Gong Yaxin didn't know how to answer. In fact, her relationship with Zhuang Xing was not that good. It was just that they had worked together in the past, and they were just casual acquaintances at best.

"Miss, your noodles are ready." At this time, the waiter at the stall handed Gong Yaxin the noodles she had just ordered.

Gong Yaxin picked up the dinner plate and wanted to leave. But Zhuang Xing didn't seem to notice, and still stood in front of her, talking about the past with her.

After all, they were colleagues before. Although Gong Yaxin didn't want to, she had no choice but to stand there and laugh with her in this situation.

"How are you doing there?"

"It's okay." Gong Yaxin nodded politely.

Zhuang Xing saw that she didn't seem to be interested in this topic, so he quickly broke the news and said, "Have you heard that our regiment intends to streamline the number of halls. There were originally twelve halls, but there may only be four to six left in the end.

.Not only the hall, but also the personnel must be streamlined.”

"Downsizing staff, who did you listen to?"

When she heard that staff were going to be reduced, Gong Yaxin finally became interested. She had heard about reducing the number of halls, but this was the first time she heard about downsizing staff.

In the past two years, the Xinye Regiment has not fulfilled its quota for recruiting new mercenaries each year. All the gangs have been shouting about the shortage of mercenaries before. Why are they suddenly demanding a reduction in the number of mercenaries?

This is completely unreasonable.

When Zhuang Xing saw that Gong Yaxin was finally attracted by his words, he couldn't help but raise his head and say with some pride, "I'm just telling you, don't tell anyone else!"

"Okay, tell me quickly!" Gong Yaxin asked hurriedly.

"This reduction in the number of mercenaries is not limited to our New Field Group. Several other large mercenary groups in Yangcheng have also been reduced! It is a request from the city lord's palace!"

"Why?" Gong Yaxin asked with a puzzled frown.

Although she knew a little bit about the turmoil between the City Lord's Mansion and the Mercenary Association, this was the first time in history that the quotas for each mercenary group were drastically reduced.

Aren't you afraid that doing this will cause dissatisfaction among the various mercenary groups? Besides, the main force for protection in the city now relies on the cooperation between the city guards and the mercenary groups.

This will not cripple the mercenary group at once. When the protective power of Yangcheng is weakened, who will be responsible?

"I'll tell you the truth. I heard that some people from various mercenary groups will be transferred to form a new mercenary group led by the government."

"Actually, the City Lord's Mansion has had this idea for a long time. However, in the early years, firstly, it was worried about causing dissatisfaction among the various mercenary groups and causing riots. Secondly, it also failed to find a suitable opportunity. So it has been postponed.

”

"Then why choose now?"

"In this beast wave, all mercenary groups suffered considerable losses. In addition, the city lord broke through, and it is said that he broke through to the golden realm!" Zhuang Xing said with a confident face.

"City Lord, he has broken through to the golden realm again?!" Gong Yaxin couldn't help but widen her eyes after hearing this.

"Keep your voice down!" Seeing her shouting in surprise, Zhuang Xing quickly made a hissing gesture.

"Where did you hear such an important thing?" Gong Yaxin asked nervously.

"You don't have to worry about it! Anyway, there is a 80% chance that you will remember this!"

Being able to show off his face in front of a beautiful woman makes Zhuang Xing look embarrassed.

"How about I ask you how it is there! Let me tell you, this may not be good news for the elderly in the group, but it is a rare opportunity for us!"

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, my silly sister. Think about it, the old people in the group have been operating in their respective positions for so many years. Naturally, they are reluctant to leave. But for some people with shallow foundations, they are still good people.

Opportunities, arriving at a new position are a new starting point. Moreover, the newly established mercenary group has the support of the city lord's palace. When the time comes, there will be no shortage of various resources, which will definitely be much better than sticking to the old rules!"

"I definitely want to leave the Xinye Group, Xiaoya, why don't you come with me!"

As he was talking, Zhuang Xing suddenly turned his head and pointed in one direction.

"Did you see that? That's my cousin!"

Gong Yaxin followed Zhuang Xing's line of sight and saw a tall, middle-aged man holding a rice bowl and standing in front of a stall serving rice.

"My brother is at the eighth level of the Black Iron Realm. He is only one step away from reaching the ninth level. The people over there have agreed that when my cousin comes over, I will give him a job as a hall master! I can also be a part of it then.

Incense Master!"

"Zhang Xiangzhu is your cousin?" Gong Yaxin's eyes widened in surprise, "I've known you for so long and I haven't heard you mention it before."

Although Gong Yaxin was not familiar with the incense owner named Zhang, she also knew his identity. However, she did not expect that Zhuang Xing and Zhang incense owner were actually cousins.

Zhuang Xing usually has a big mouth, but he didn't expect that he would hide this matter so deeply.

Zhuang Xing chuckled when he heard this. It's not that he was strict about this. His cousin didn't let him talk about the pig demon before. As for now, people are leaving, so naturally it doesn't matter.

It is obvious that Zhuang Xing is really interested in Gong Yaxin.

"It's certain that you guys will be disbanded. If you don't have a suitable place to go, why not come with me? I'll protect you then!" Zhuang Xing looked at Gong Yaxin and said with a burning gaze.

Although it is not stated explicitly, the meaning can be understood by anyone.

Gong Yaxin was made uncomfortable by his fiery gaze. Just when she was at a loss, a voice came from behind, "Xiaoya, why has it taken so long and your rice hasn't been ready yet?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Gong Yaxin immediately turned around with a face of joy, "Uncle Jiang, okay! I'm about to go back!"

Jiang Hao walked over, looked up at Zhuang Xing and asked, "Who is this?"

"This is my former colleague." Gong Yaxin naturally stepped forward and took Jiang Hao's arm, and then introduced to Zhuang Xing, "Zhuang Xing, this is Uncle Jiang, this is me..."<

/p>

Before she finished speaking, Zhuang Xing interrupted her directly, "Xiaoya, I made a mistake. I didn't expect you to be such a person!"

Zhuang Xing looked at Gong Yaxin pulling Jiang Hao's arm, and his face was filled with disgust.

He had always thought that Gong Yaxin was a very innocent girl, but now the scene in front of him suddenly made him feel a little defensive.

I felt that the other person's pure image collapsed in my heart.

The young man was somewhat arrogant. The Bai Yueguang he was pursuing was now taking the initiative to hold someone else's arm in front of him, which made him feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

This made him couldn't help but sneered, "Gong Yaxin, I know how difficult it is for ordinary people to gain a foothold in a gang, but no matter what happens, you shouldn't be so picky and pick out any bad old man.
