I let you have children and you lead seven sinful girls to rebel?

Moreover, Li Xiuning is now nominally Chen Xuan's legal wife, so it is indeed her responsibility to take charge of the affairs between Xu Ruolan and An Ruxue.

As for whether everyone will break up when they reach the border, that is a matter for after they reach the border. Before reaching the border, she must ensure that there will be no trouble along the way.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuning took a deep breath, looked at Chen Xuan, nodded slightly and said, "I understand."

Afterwards, she separated Xu Ruolan and An Ruxue, who were still arguing, and took them aside to talk.

Chen Xuan didn't know what they talked about.

In short, after coming back, Xu Ruolan was smiling, but as for An Ruxue, she still had that signature sour face.

Fortunately, her favorability towards Chen Xuan has not diminished.

Looking at An Ruxue's ugly face, Chen Xuan couldn't help but secretly wonder whether he should whip her.

When An Ruxue's favorability exceeded 1 point, he received a critical hit reward and got a "Woman Whip". He could gain 5 points of favorability by whipping any woman.

The only pity is that it can only be used once a day.

Chen Xuan hasn't used it yet, and he thought he had to find an opportunity to give her a good spur.

After the conflict between An Ruxue and Xu Ruolan was resolved, the convoy moved forward and soon encountered a group of bandits from Liufeng Village.

There were nearly five hundred bandits, carrying large and small bags of various kinds.

The bandits did have horses, although not many, there were still about thirty of them.

In addition to horses, there are also cows and mules, which are used to carry things and food for the journey.

"Meet the big boss!"

As soon as Chen Xuan arrived, Liu Jinyu immediately knelt on the ground with all his men and kowtowed to Chen Xuan.

"What did you call me?"

Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows.

Liu Jinyu immediately looked up, smiling broadly, and said, "We've already discussed this internally. From today on, I will abdicate and let someone else take over. Master Chen will be the head of Liufeng Village, and I will be the second in command."

Does that mean I'm the same as you bandits?

Chen Xuan immediately shook his head and said sternly, "No, you are still the boss from now on. All the people in Liufeng Village are under your control!"

Liu Jinyu was stunned. Was he trying to distance himself from them? Or draw a line in the sand?

What was his purpose in following Chen Xuan?

The purpose is to gain Chen Xuan's trust and get the secret that Lord Qin wants from Chen Xuan!

And now, Chen Xuan wants to keep a distance with him, how could Liu Jinyu do as he wishes?

He immediately said with a shameless smile: "Master Chen, you can't say that. From now on, we will listen to you. Of course, you are the boss."

Even if Chen Xuan doesn't want to be the boss, he has to be!

In short, everything is to build closer relationships!

Chen Xuan said calmly: "Do you listen to me or do I listen to you?"

"Well, of course I'll listen to you." Seeing that Chen Xuan was a little unhappy, Liu Jinyu immediately forced a smile.

"Since you are going to listen to me, then don't say those useless words. You are still the boss of Liufeng Village, and I will be your master. Do you understand what I mean?" Chen Xuan said coldly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

Liu Jinyu's mouth twitched when he heard this.

You? Be my master?

Damn it, isn’t this taking advantage of me?

Let you be the boss and I will be the second in command. In terms of relationship, we are brothers.

But if you become my master, the situation will be different.

Liu Jinyu has a master, the Shangshu Qin.

One woman cannot have two husbands, and one slave cannot have two masters.

It can be said that Chen Xuan’s move was extremely disgusting.

"Why, I am your master, and I have wronged you?"

Chen Xuan noticed that this guy's expression became strange, and couldn't help but sneer.

Liu Jinyu was so angry that his teeth were itching. If it weren't for Lord Qin's order, he would have wanted to have his bandits surround Chen Xuan.

You can fight by yourself, right? Are the women around you as good at fighting as well?

As long as we capture your women and take them hostage, we’ll see how you can still act so arrogantly!

However, this kind of thing can only be thought about. He came here with a mission and must not mess it up, otherwise, Lord Qin will not let him go.

Immediately, Liu Jinyu secretly gritted his teeth, then knelt on the ground and swore to the heavens, "God, from today on, I, Liu Jinyu, will become Master Chen's slave and follow him until death. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

Chen Xuan didn't expect that this guy would swear so resolutely, and it was such a vicious oath.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "Actually, you don't have to swear. I believe you."

Liu Jinyu was almost angry to the point of vomiting blood. Damn it, why didn’t you tell me earlier without me swearing?

Now that I'm kneeling down, you're saying this after the fact?

He was so angry inside, but he couldn't show it. Instead, he had to force a smile and said ingratiatingly:

"Master Chen, you are the master and I am the servant. This matter has been witnessed by heaven and earth. If Master Chen still doubts my sincerity, then let us go a step further and swear an oath of blood, and let the heavens and the earth bear witness!"

As he spoke, he shouted to his men behind him: "Come here, light the incense burner!"

Immediately, one of the men brought up a table with an incense burner and offerings on it. He also handed over a few thick incense sticks and a sharp dagger.

According to Liu Jinyu's idea, they had to burn incense to God, then cut themselves with a knife to draw blood, drip the blood into the wine, and then drink each other's blood wine.

Isn't this something that only sworn brothers can do?

Does a master have to shed his own blood when he accepts a slave?

Chen Xuan was definitely unwilling in his heart.

However, Liu Jinyu has already done so much for himself, and he just presented a thousand taels of gold as a tribute.

The one thousand taels of gold have now been handed over to Li Xiuning.

Considering the 1,000 taels of gold, it would be bad not to give them face.

Besides, I will have to ask them to do things in the future.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Chen Xuan generously dripped blood into the wine, exchanged wine glasses, and drank the other's blood wine.

"Master Chen, from now on I am yours. I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to die for your words!"

Liu Jinyu roared heroically in his rough voice.

All the bandit brothers behind him knelt on the ground in a very uniform posture.

Chen Xuan looked at them and couldn't help but feel amused. How could these people look like bandits? Instead, they looked more like well-trained soldiers.

Can these people be understood as the private soldiers kept by Lord Qin?

No wonder the imperial court wanted to suppress the bandits. If they were allowed to grow stronger, the emperor would not be able to sit securely on the throne.

"There's no need to go through fire and water, but there is something I need you to do right now," Chen Xuan said.

Liu Jinyu was stunned. I was just being polite, but you turned out to be so rude?
