Chapter 683: Turning Sides and Abandoning Armor, Surrendering with Courtesy

Soon after, after treating Qingying, Chu Xiao and his party rushed towards the Golden Blood Country.

The Golden Blood Kingdom was once the most powerful country in Central Continent, but now it has been driven to the edge of Central Continent! This place is full of desert, blinded by wind and sand, and very hidden. Even Chu Xiao would have a hard time finding the specific location of the Golden Blood Kingdom in a short period of time.

In addition, he does not have many people with him this time - not to mention that everyone else has other important matters, just saying that the operation itself is not a large-scale military operation, or in other words, it is best not to evolve. It became a military operation!

"If I can spread the message and fight without bloodshed, that would be the best! I think this may be the biggest one. As long as I see the leader of the Golden Blood Kingdom, I will be sure to persuade him to turn against his country and surrender with courtesy... …”

Based on this idea, Chu Xiao only brought Shaozhi, Xiaorou, and Lu Jiuer. Even including him, there were only four people in total. Therefore, in the vast desert, when dusk was approaching, no specific details of the Golden Blood Kingdom were found. Location.

However, they have probably locked down a few areas, and it will be a matter of time before they find the Golden Blood Country. only……

"The Golden Blood Kingdom should have already heard the news, but they did not choose to welcome us! Is this because they are hesitating whether to surrender, or... they have other plans?"

Chu Xiao tapped his chin and pondered, while Shaozhi on the side thought for a while and said, "Brother Chu, don't worry, no matter what their plans are, they will never dare to harm us!"

"That's true."

Chu Xiao nodded and agreed with this judgment. After all, the situation in Central Continent is now clear. Unless the leader of the Golden Blood Kingdom hits his head against the wall, he will never dare to disobey them, let alone hurt others!

Otherwise, the entire Golden Blood Kingdom may be completely annihilated by the anger of all Central Continent people!

It was precisely because of this that Chu Xiao dared to bring a small number of people to the nearby area. However, now it seems that although the Golden Blood Kingdom does not dare to take action, it seems that it also has its own little calculation...

However, Chu Xiao has not yet figured out what the other party's plan is.

"Brother Chu, it's getting late. It's not too late to think about these things tomorrow. Just have a good rest today."

Shaozhi said at this time, Chu Xiao looked at the dusty people around him, and then saw their concerned eyes, and couldn't help but realize: Are these guys turning a corner to let him rest quickly?

Chu Xiao's heart warmed up, and he didn't object. After all, he spent the whole day today fighting the Beast King, fighting the Son of Luck, and searching for the Golden Blood Kingdom in the vast desert... All these things were extremely energy-consuming, so at this moment, he was really a little... sleepy.

"In that case, let's go to the desert inn we found before and have a good rest before heading to the Golden Blood Kingdom tomorrow!"

Chu Xiao said, and everyone immediately agreed, and then the group quickly came to the door of an ancient inn that stood on the yellow sand.

"Shopkeeper, there are four guest rooms! Prepare some more wine and food!"

Chu Xiao strode in and said.

"Okay, waiter! Prepare four rooms! Serve good food and wine! Uh... Dear guests, um, deposit..."

A middle-aged man dressed in yellow and an innkeeper hurriedly greeted everyone.

"OK."

Lu Jiuer, who was in charge of the money, immediately touched the money bag. Immediately, her expression changed and she was shocked - the money bag was missing!

What's even more troublesome is that all their travel expenses were stored there, but they were all lost at some point!

"Jiu'er?"

Seeing Lu Jiu'er's face, Chu Xiao suddenly came to his senses and immediately raised his eyebrows: Jiu'er was never careless in doing things, but now he lost his money...

"Ying, it should have been lost when we were looking for it separately..."

Lu Jiuer whispered apologetically, while Chu Xiao thought: Is this a coincidence? Or……

"Um! Guys, can you stay in a hotel?"

At this time, the shopkeeper spoke.

Lu Jiuer couldn't help but said awkwardly: "That...shopkeeper, can you..."

"Huh? Guys, it's not easy to do without money."

The shopkeeper got into a fight haha.

"This... shopkeeper, we have to be on the road tomorrow morning. We are in the middle of nowhere, so we have to stay here tonight."

Chu Xiao rolled his eyes and said.

"Well...I'm not an unreasonable person...Excuse me, are you two couples?"

The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and said.

As soon as these words came out, both girls blushed with embarrassment. Chu Xiao and Shaozhi also looked at each other, secretly wondering why he cared about this?

Shaozhi immediately said: "We are just a couple, not married yet."

"Then, you can try our store's special rule, 'Try the Gentleman'!"

"Try a gentleman?"

Lu Jiuer asked curiously, "What does that mean?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, if you are not married, you have no status, and you cannot do anything casual. Therefore, this test of a gentleman is to ask you to be a couple, stay in the same room, shut up for a night, and if it is tomorrow morning, you will be gentlemen to each other. As a gift...then our store won’t charge you any money!”

"Otherwise, you will have to repay the money ten times! If you have no money, you will have to work hard to pay off the debt! This is a special rule that our store has set down since its establishment a hundred years ago and has been passed down from generation to generation..."

After hearing these words, everyone was stunned for a while, while Chu Xiao secretly curled his lips and thought to himself, what kind of "testing a gentleman" is this? This is simply torture, right?

"But...how do you know...whether there is..."

At this time, Lu Jiuer's voice became lower and lower, and his face burned as he asked.

His eyes were still flickering, as if he was thinking of some "idea"...

"Oh, we have our own solution! Have you made up your mind? I told you that the wind and sand outside are really big. I don't know how many travelers have been buried in it over the years. If you sleep in the open tonight, you won't be able to protect them all. ...Tsk!"

The shopkeeper continued to shake his head and said, "Looking at my inn, it's strange. In the past hundred years, no guest has had any trouble here. Maybe it's because of the protection of our ancestors..."

"...Heh, it's really interesting to put it this way."

Chu Xiao closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes and said, "Okay! I will stay in this store, and I will also accept the challenge of your so-called 'testing a gentleman'! Is that all right?"

"Of course you can! But..."

The shopkeeper looked at Lu Jiu'er, who was as pretty as a flower, and even more so in her shyness. Then she looked at Chu Xiao, with a playful look in her eyes, and whispered in a low voice: "I advise you, sir, to be prepared to be a waiter first. This girl is very fond of you." Guo Qingcheng, you want to behave like a gentleman with her..."

"It's difficult!"

When Chu Xiao heard this, he just smiled, then shook his head, motioning to wait and see, and then without saying a word, he pushed the shy Lu Jiuer upstairs.

"Brother Shaozhi, Miss Xiaorou, we'll do it first, you can do whatever you want."

After saying this, Shaozhi and Xiaorou suddenly looked shy, especially Shaozhi. He vaguely felt that Chu Xiao was teasing him... But...

"Maybe this is good?"

Shaozhi glanced at Xiaorou with gentle eyes, then gently took her hand and took her upstairs.

Xiaorou didn't resist, she just followed Shaozhi shyly and meekly, and when they, Chu Xiao, and Lu Jiuer all entered the room...

A strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth...
