The light in the room is dim, and even with a few candles lit in the corners, it's hard to catch the faces of the people sitting across from them.

This is deliberately set by Zhang Zhijie, he just likes this atmosphere.

Now, he has been sitting at the square table in the center of this room for dozens of minutes. But he was in no hurry to say a word.

However, Lu Lei and Zhu Qi, who were sitting opposite him, seemed a little impatient.

Especially Lu Lei, I saw him holding his chin and his lower elbows resting on the table. Perhaps because of his irritability, one of his legs was still shaking.

Zhang Zhijie was happy to see this situation, the more uncomfortable these two people were, the happier he was now. So he was in no hurry to say something.

About an hour ago, they booked this inn in Fukui Town. As for why I made a reservation, I naturally came here to discuss things.

This inn is one of the most famous and luxurious in Fukui Town, and it has everything you need. Moreover, the rooms here are very large, with a single room of about 40 square meters.

It's just that the sight of three big men sitting around a table in such a hotel room is really a little incomprehensible.

Zhang Zhijie coughed slightly, and the staff in his hand poked the ground, "Ahem...... Are you anxiously waiting? It's going to be right away!"

The wind seemed to sweep through the room, whether it was the candle on the table or the candle shade fixed on the wall, the flame on it was constantly twisting.

"Really?" Zhu Qi asked. He also looked at the window that was completely open. He may be full of confusion about the current weather, with the windows still open, "So how long will we have to wait?"

"It's coming!"

"Just ask him to come quickly! Otherwise, it's really uncomfortable to sit here!" Lu Lei changed his sitting posture and pressed his cheek with his other hand.

"Lu Lei, I have said it many times, you must be patient in everything. Only in this way can we do great things!" Zhang Zhijie persuaded with 'kindness'.

Lu Lei realized the taste of blood in the other party's mouth, and after he glanced at Zhang Zhijie who was sitting, he quickly straightened his sitting posture.

Seeing this, Zhu Qi bared his teeth and smiled, he snorted softly and leaned back in the chair.

Soon, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.

Zhang Zhijie's ears moved slightly, and his entire neck twisted towards the gate like a crooked towel.

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, but when the sound stopped at the door of the room they had booked, Zhang Zhijie said with joy: "It's finally here!"

Sure enough, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Zhijie shook his head at the gate. Then, he looked at Zhu Qi and Lu Lei coldly.

The two seemed to be a little unconvinced, looking at each other, indicating that the other was about to open the door. After not giving in to each other, it means that no one is going to the door.

The knocking on the door continued, very rhythmic.

Zhang Zhijie couldn't bear it anymore, after licking his lips, his eyes widened again, "Lu Lei, go and open the door!"

Lu Lei seemed to be very surprised by Zhang Zhijie's direct roll call, he was stunned suddenly, and stretched out his arm to point at Zhu Qi, "Why? Why am I here to open it!"

"Just open the door, how can there be so much nonsense!

Seeing that Zhang Zhijie's tone had become very heavy, Lu Lei could only stand up and open the door in a daze.

Zhu Qi now seemed to have become a winner, and he looked straight at Lu Lei, who was walking towards the door, with a look like a mockery.

"Zhu Qi! Enough! I have said many times, everyone must be united. Don't be very unhappy because of something boring!You know, we're a team!" Zhang Zhijie knocked his staff to the ground.

Although the noise was not too loud, it was still enough to make Zhu Qi tighten his smile.

The opening of the door sounded, which means that Lu Lei has opened the door.

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

A brief conversation came from the door. After that, the juxtaposed footsteps rang out again. Zhang Zhijie never turned his head to look at the door during this period, because he knew very well what was going on there.

When the footsteps stopped abruptly, a shadow was faintly shrouded on Zhang Zhijie's side.

"You're finally here—He Weilin!" Zhang Zhijie moved his mouth expressionlessly.

"Yes, teacher, I'm here!" He Weilin stood next to Zhang Zhijie and bowed respectfully.

"Okay, why don't you stand next to me all the time?

"Yes, teacher!" He Weilin then walked to the edge of a seat where no one had yet sat down. Gently pulling back the chair, he sat down slowly.

"Lu Lei, what are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and sit down together?" Zhang Zhijie looked straight ahead, the hand holding the staff still rubbing against the staff.

"Got it!" Lu Lei obediently sat down in the seat he was sitting on.

In this way, in front of the four edges of the square table, there are all people sitting. They looked at each other, but none of them spoke first.

Zhang Zhijie felt that it was not good to go on like this, so he cleared his throat one step ahead of him, "cough...... cough ......" He looked at He Weilin, who was sitting on his left slope, "Weilin, is the injury completely healed?"

"Well, take care of it!" He Weilin bent forward slightly.

"It's good to take care of it! Alas! In the final analysis, that time outside the trial ground, I was too anxious to fall into that Shen Mengting's trap. Wellin, you won't blame me, will you?"

"Teacher, why do you say that? There is no way to get injured by mistake, and I won't blame the teacher. ”

Zhu Qi, who was sitting opposite He Weilin, snorted softly very covertly: The kid is really good at slapping sycophants!

"It's good not to blame!" Zhang Zhijie relaxed his body with relief, "Okay, let me tell you about the tricks we have with those Salans after you are injured!"

Zhang Zhijie told all the process of the fierce battle with Shen Mengting in the 'Motai Hotel' in Fujing Town that day.

The gloomy atmosphere continued to sweep through the room, and there was a feeling that the candles were about to be blown out.

"Yes, so that's the case!" He Weilin nodded slightly, and the expression on his face tightened slightly.

"Do you have any thoughts on this?"

"Me?" He Weilin sat up straight, and after thinking about it for a while, he released what he was thinking, "It seems...... That Shen Mengting is still a little not simple. She was able to find a high-level archer to be an ally under extremely unfavorable circumstances!"

"A high-level archer is not terrible! If I hadn't taken the enemy lightly, I could have taken him down at will!" Zhu Qi clenched his hand into a fist with indignation. Whenever he remembered being tricked by a hand who had only reached the top level, he held back his anger.

"Then Zhu Qi, do you really have to deal with him casually?" Zhang Zhijie tilted his head, mocking him again and again.

Zhu Qi stopped speaking when he heard this. But it can be seen that he is still very unconvinced.

'Hmph, you still think about my jokes every day, but what about yourself?, you have made a coma of an inferior archer from Saran, and you don't want to mess around in the country of Sauron.' Lu Lei's foot-shaking movements intensified. He also glanced at Zhu Qi who was twitching his face from time to time, as if he was very happy about this person's ugliness.

"Now that everyone has arrived, it is necessary for me to express my personal opinion!" Zhang Zhijie's loud voice sounded at this moment, "We have been in Saran for more than a month now! At first, we thought that we would be able to return to Sauron after a few days of chasing down a seriously injured old thing. But now, the truth is completely beyond our imagination!"

"It's all to blame on a whirlpool of waste. If he hadn't met Yang Jiening, I'm afraid that the black covered document bag would not have been handed over to others at all. Zhu Qi knocked on the table.

"That's one of the reasons. However, I think the reason why we failed the way we are now is completely due to our own mistakes!"

Zhang Zhijie's words made everyone shut up. He Weilin, in particular, put his staff on the table with his hands on his thighs and sat upright.

The other two looked at Zhang Zhijie puzzled, as if asking what to say?

Zhang Zhijie looked around at everyone and took a rough breath, "No matter how lucky that old man is, but if we can defeat all these Sarans, won't it be over?"

There was silence in the room, and it seemed that neither Zhu Qi nor Lu Lei could answer.

"But what about reality!" Zhang Zhijie suddenly slapped the table, his tone sounding a little angry, "You know! But it was also the high-level people who escaped our pursuit again and again. ”

"Don't be so exaggerated, boss, we met them once, and that time in the Motel!"

Zhang Zhijie glared at Lu Lei, who was explaining, "Yes, you only have one time." But it's the second time!" he pressed his hand on the table, "Outside the Vortex Town's proving grounds, I've already let Shen Mengting's woman escape once." I didn't expect to be able to escape again by her old tricks. That's ......."

The five words 'lifelong shame' were held in his mouth and did not continue to speak.

The rest of the people listened to Zhang Zhijie's words and began to slowly lower their heads.

"You know, the four of us here are the best of the best. Each of you, which one of you does not have the strength above the expert level. Zhang Zhijie pointed at the three young men heavily, "With such strong strength, he was actually played around by a lame senior swordsman." Don't you feel ashamed?"

Maybe Zhang Zhijie's words are really reasonable, even Zhu Qi, who has always been unconvinced, has already put his head close to the table.

"I'm so ashamed!" Zhang Zhijie stomped his foot to the ground, coupled with his words, accompanied by the staff in his hand, the room was filled with a suffocating atmosphere for a while.

After a short silence, Zhang Zhijie held his head high.

"Do you feel ashamed too?"

None of the three young men spoke, but judging by the way they looked lost and kept bowing their heads, it was clear that they were very, very ashamed.

Zhang Zhijie's two oval eyes rolled on the bodies of his three subordinates one after another, "It seems that you have indeed felt very ashamed." But......" he clenched his fists again, slamming them on the table in front of him, "do you realize the question of why this is happening?"

"You're so much better than these Sarans, so why can't you capture them?"

This problem seems to be very fatal, and Zhu Qi and Lu Lei are a little out of touch. They looked at each other, looking at each other with a look of confusion.

"You don't have to look at each other anymore, I'll answer you. With a slap on the table, Zhang Zhijie increased his voice, "It's because you are too light on the enemy." You might as well think about whether you have been able to catch them every time, or if you think that they are too weak to use all your strength. And then in the blink of an eye, they turned the tables over?"

Zhu Qi sighed sharply, he knew that what Zhang Zhijie said was completely correct.

"It's not just you, I've made the same mistake. The reason why we have failed repeatedly is because we underestimate the enemy too much!" Zhang Zhijie gritted his teeth viciously.

"Yes, the teacher is right! We underestimated the enemy too much, and the enemy caught the flaw. That's what keeps them on the run. He Weilin nodded more sincerely, exhaling his breath.

"So, if we want to capture them, we must not be underestimated! We can no longer face these Salans with the strength of our own experts. Rather, they should be placed on an equal footing with us. In other words, if you want to fight with them in the future, you must show 100% strength. That's how we can defeat them!"

Not only He Weilin, but also two other subordinates nodded this time.

Zhang Zhijie's words definitely spoke to everyone's heart, and the contempt for the Saran people, so they did not show their real strength, and they were the culprits who kept getting away with it. In other words, in the future, they must absolutely be regarded as equal enemies, so that they can be defeated with a free mind.

"Alright! I've made it clear. The next time I meet those Sarans, I'll be able to catch them as I say. After that, Zhang Zhijie's tongue kept stirring in his mouth. After saying so many words, he already felt dry in his mouth

At this time, Zhu Qi scratched the tip of his nose with his hand, and he coughed uncomfortably while scratching.

"Zhu Qi!" Zhang Zhijie's eyes glanced diagonally to the right, "Do you have anything to say?"

Zhu Qi straightened his sitting posture when he heard this, "Well, I have something to say! Boss! I listened to what you just said, and I feel very empathy! Next time, if I meet that group of Sarans again, I will definitely use 100% strength to deal with it." His hands sank in front of him, "But now how are we going to find those Saranids? That's the point, isn't it? ”

"How do you know we won't find them?"

"But we just can't find them now! we haven't heard from them since the 'Motel Hotel' let them escape. It was as if they had all evaporated from the world. ”

"Or maybe they're deliberately avoiding us!" He Weilin assumed.

"They're definitely hiding from us. Zhu Qi responded directly, "They will definitely not be stupid enough to wander the streets with great fanfare, waiting for us to find them." ”

"And how did you find them at the Motel Hotel, and then fight them there?"

"That's something that can be located through some information. Seeing that He Weilin seemed a little puzzled, Zhu Qi took a step closer and said, "We actually found them as early as when we were in Akita Town. ”

As Zhu Qi's words deepened, Zhang Zhijie also kept nodding his head.

Indeed, as Zhu Qi said, when they went to Akita Town to look for it, they had already found Shen Mengting's general direction.

It was almost discovered from the mouth of an officer and soldier. He said that a certain boy who was a magician killed someone in a place called the 'HSBC Tavern', and then the officers and soldiers went to chase him, and was completely overwhelmed by another female swordsman.

Zhang Zhijie was almost certain that the swordsman was Shen Mengting at that time. Then, they naturally searched around the town of Akita and the surrounding towns.

At first, their search was full of thorns, and after several small towns in succession searched to no avail, they eventually came to Fukui, the second largest town in the country of Saran. Since the town of Fukui is so large, it is impossible for them to find it.

However, the turning point of the matter was when they went to the center of the town, and in the small talk of some townspeople, Zhang Zhijie and they heard some strange rumors. It seems that some archer is spending lavishly.

When they first heard about this profession, Zhang Zhijie didn't pay attention to it. But as long as there are some strange clues, he also feels that he should follow them. So, they found the hotel where the archer was.

The news was heartening, as the archers were accompanied by a female swordsman and a young magician.

"That's right, it's basically Shen Mengting!" Zhang Zhijie almost said with certainty.

However, what happened after that was still frustrating. It turned out that Shen Mengting and her group had already left the hotel in the morning. This made Zhang Zhijie a lot of frustration, and just when they were about to give up going out and continue to search, a miracle happened.

Shen Mengting and her little kid from Vortex Town actually returned. Why they returned, Zhang Zhijie has never been able to find a reason. But since it is covered, Zhang Zhijie will not be polite.

So in the end there was a fierce fight at the 'Motel Hotel', and that's what happened.

"It's a godsend to meet them at the 'Motai Hotel'! the next time I can find them, I don't know if it's the Year of the Monkey!" Zhu Qi shook her head helplessly.

"We can find them, as long as we have the heart!" He Weilin straightened his chest.

"You can say it's light, how can you find them?

"If they escaped in Fukui Town, they will definitely double down on our avoidance next time. Zhang Zhijie frowned at his two silkworm eyebrows, "It can be inferred from the fact that we searched around Fujing Town to no avail. ”

"So, Teacher, what are we going to do now?"

He Weilin's question made Zhang Zhijie fall into deep thought, which is also what he has been thinking about in recent days.

"You ask me what I'm going to do lately?" Zhang Zhijie calmly repeated the words, his eyelids also dropping. But suddenly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Several subordinates also tensed their whole bodies when they saw this, and they expected the leader to guide them on the right path.

Sure enough, Zhang Zhijie stood up directly, his face was also full of excitement, "We just need to find them!"

Zhang Zhijie seemed to have said something inexplicable, which made his subordinates not understand.

"What?" Zhu Qi asked directly.

"We just need to find Shen Mengting and them, right?" Zhang Zhijie left the table, and he walked around the room excitedly.

"Boss, what the hell is wrong?"

"What do you think Shen Mengting's current thoughts are?" Without waiting for others to answer, Zhang Zhijie opened his mouth, "This woman is now going to fulfill Yang Jiening's last wish! ”

At first, the subordinates were still a little confused, but under Zhang Zhijie's continued nudge, they all seemed to have suddenly realized.

"yes, that's ......."

"That woman's ultimate destination is Kiyose Castle!" Zhang Zhijie showed a sly smile, "In other words, if you want to catch them, you just need to block in front of the destination she is going to eventually, and that's it!"

"So...... Let's ......," He Weilin also stood up.

"Wait directly at the gate of Kiyose Castle, come and wait for the rabbit!"

"But...... Boss!" Zhu Qi propped his hands on the table, and his bloated body leaned in, "There are several roads to Kiyose City!

"Don't worry, Zhu Qi! No matter how many roads there are to Kiyose City. But if you enter Kiyose Castle, there are only three routes!"

"But it's just three, it's hard for us to take care of it!" Lu Lei kept shaking his head.

"There's no need to worry about this, I know very well which city gate Shen Mengting will take to Qingse City. Don't forget, I grew up watching her. ”

With extremely treacherous laughter, Zhang Zhijie looked up to the sky and opened his mouth wide. Laughter continued to sweep through the room, causing his accomplices to shudder.

At least, Zhang Zhijie has found a way to lock Shen Mengting.

Shen Mengting, you show me a walk! Zhang Zhijie seemed to be like a devil, exuding an extremely terrifying aura.
