Chapter nine hundred and sixty fourth long absence
The next morning, Chen Fan, who was still having fun in bed, suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door, and immediately lifted the quilt and sat up.
Zhao Yu stretched out her hand from under the quilt, like a clingy kitten, took Chen Fan's arm and said, "What's wrong?"
Chen Fan smiled lightly and said, "Zhou Tao has been waiting outside for almost half an hour. He probably wants to talk to me about something."
Hearing this, Zhao Yu's cheeks suddenly turned as pink as a cherry, and she covered her face with the quilt, no longer obstructing Chen Fan.
Chen Fan stood up quickly, got dressed, came to the door and slowly opened it, revealing Zhou Tao's slightly embarrassed face, "Ahem, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. In fact, you can sleep a little longer, there's no need to do this.
Get up early."
Chen Fan smiled calmly, followed Zhou Tao out of the room, and closed the door with his backhand, "Tell me what's going on."
Zhou Tao coughed dryly, "Actually, it's nothing important. Black Rock City asked someone to bring you a message. The old city lord wants to invite you to the city lord's mansion to have a chat."
Chen Fan said "Oh" and roughly guessed what was going on, so he nodded and said, "I know, I don't have much to do these days anyway, so it's time to meet some old friends."
Black Rock City is definitely a turning point in Chen Fan's life. If the plan to evacuate the main universe had not received the full support of the old city lord, it would be difficult for mankind to reach this point. Due to emotions and reasons, Chen Fan had to go to the city to express his gratitude.
Ichiban.
"Okay, then I won't disturb you."
Zhou Tao nodded, turned around and was about to leave. Before he had gone far, he turned around with a smile and joked, "Congratulations, you and Zhao Yu have finally achieved success."
Chen Fan immediately laughed and waved his hands without saying anything.
Returning to the house again, Zhao Yu was already dressed and changed her clothes. She walked to Chen Fan with a blushing face and asked in a low voice, "Why does Zhou Tao want you?"
Chen Fan told the old city lord about the invitation, and Zhao Yu nodded, "Just in time, I also want to go back. Xiaoya must be bored after staying alone in Black Rock City for several days."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Isn't there Wu Tian accompanying her?"
Zhao Yu suddenly smiled slyly and said, "By the way, what do you think about the two of them?"
Chen Fan was a little helpless, touched his chin and said, "Wu Tian has been playing with me since he was a child. He is indeed a person I can rely on, but this kid...how should I put it, this change in identity makes me very uncomfortable."
Zhao Yu chuckled and joked, "Do you feel that Wu Tian has robbed your things, are you very unhappy, and want to beat him up?"
Chen Fan had no choice but to admit, "I do think so sometimes."
In the afternoon of that day, Chen Fan led Zhao Yu and set off. The two of them crossed the entire Spirit Beast Mountain Range and came to the jurisdiction of Black Rock City.
Along the way, Chen Fan rarely enjoyed peace. Although there were many ferocious beasts in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, and these beasts obviously did not welcome the arrival of the two of them, Chen Fan only needed to release a little breath. These beasts
The seemingly ferocious beasts could only flee with their tails between their legs.
As dusk fell, Chen Fan led Zhao Yu to Qingyao Town to complain. This was the first place he had lived in the main universe. Although the town was not as lively and prosperous as Black Rock City, the Lizard Tribe and Black Rock City had reached a reconciliation.
As a result, the number of merchants coming and going has increased significantly, making it very lively.
When he walked into the inn, Chen Fan realized that it was already overcrowded and there was no place to stay, so he had no choice but to lead Zhao Yu out again.
Zhao Yu complained in a low voice, "I told you to walk faster, what should you do now? Are you going to sleep in the open again?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I can take you to stay with a mercenary group."
Under Zhao Yu's surprised gaze, Chen Fan led her directly through a street and came to the outside of the mercenary group founded by Wa Guo.
There was a war here, which resulted in the destruction of most of the buildings. However, a year later, Waguo had people renovate and improve the mercenary group, and doubled its size.
Arriving at the gate of the mercenary group, Chen Fan was about to introduce himself to the mercenaries guarding the door. As a result, an older mercenary recognized Chen Fan in advance and immediately jumped out excitedly and shouted, "
Lord Chen Fan, it’s you, you’re back..."
The mercenary seemed very excited, jumping up and down with joy, and hurriedly asked his servants to clean the room. Chen Fan walked up to him, smiled politely at him, and asked about the news about Waguo.
The old mercenary said with a smile, "The leader has moved into Black Rock City, and this has become the branch of the mercenary group. Only a few of us old people are still living in Qingyao Town. We didn't know you were coming, so we didn't have any preparations.
Please forgive me, sir."
Chen Fan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't be polite to me. I feel relieved when I see that Waguo's mercenary group has grown so big."
The old mercenary smiled with a flattering look on his face and said, "It's all at your service."
Entering the room, the two of them ate something to fill their stomachs. During this period, Zhao Yu suddenly asked, "I didn't expect you to be so popular in this small town. What happened here before?"
Chen Fan said nonchalantly, "Actually, it's nothing. I just stood up for this mercenary group and taught a lesson to a blind guy."
Chen Fan did not want to reveal the detailed process, and Zhao Yu was not interested in asking any more. After a night's rest, the two of them set out again early the next morning and drove leisurely. However, when they were about to enter the city,
I saw a familiar Chamber of Commerce team.
Chen Fan immediately walked towards the leader of the chamber of commerce and greeted warmly, "Uncle Yang."
Yang Yan turned around and saw Chen Fan. He smiled so much that his goatee blossomed. He ran over quickly and said, "Brother Chen Fan, haha, we are really destined. By the way, I heard from the president that you should not be on the front line of the coalition forces."
Well, why are you here suddenly?"
Chen Fanhan smiled and said, "I'm here to attend the old city lord's invitation. By the way, is Xiaolan okay?"
Uncle Yang said with a smile, "Fortunately, she has now taken over most of the affairs of the old president and has become the head of our chamber of commerce. By the way, Miss is still thinking about you from time to time. Since today is a coincidence, why don't you and
Let me go back to the Chamber of Commerce together."
Chen Fan smiled and refused, "No, I have to go to the city lord's mansion to keep an appointment. I'll visit you next time."
"Okay, please do as you please." Uncle Yang nodded with a smile, then turned his gaze and fixed it on Zhao Yu. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he showed a bitter face, and sighed silently in his heart, but
He said nothing and watched the two people leave respectfully.
As they entered the city, Zhao Yu suddenly smiled, pinched Chen Fan's arm and said, "The old goat looked at me just now and there seemed to be something wrong with his expression. Is there any story between you and his lady?"
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "You have misunderstood me. I am not interested in foreign girls, but Xiaolan is indeed a very good girl. I will introduce you to her when I have time."
Before he finished speaking, a figure like an iron tower blocked the two of them. Chen Fan stopped and looked up at the person blocking the way. Then he nodded with a smile and said, "Commander of Montenegro, it's been a long time."
