"Ren Wu, bring me the portrait. The swarthy man who was waiting for someone pointed to the portrait in Ren Wu's hand.

"Master Hei, are you also interested in this matter? Ren Wu smiled on his face, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly handed over the portrait in his hand.

The swarthy man stretched out his hand to take the portrait and looked at it carefully, "Huh, why does this person feel so familiar?" He moved his shoulders, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, "That's right! The young man who is suspected of being a disciple of the sect at the Dragon Gate Inn!" His pupils shrank, and the expression on his face changed, and Ren Wu on the side was shocked when he saw this, and then rejoiced, "Hei Ye, but what did you find?"

The swarthy man glanced at Ren Wu obliquely, but did not speak.

"Hei Ye, if you can provide effective information about the location of the person in the portrait before dawn, you will be rewarded with a hundred gold!" Ren Wu saw this, and his heart was anxious.

"Get out. The swarthy man threw the portrait in his hand to Ren Wu and ignored him no more.

Ren Wu's eyes flashed with anger, and he was about to have a seizure, but then he didn't know what he thought, so he endured it, and finally took a deep look at the swarthy man, and then turned around and left without saying a word.

After a while, a white-faced man walked towards the swarthy man with a portrait in his hand.

"I'm looking for this guy up there. ”

"Isn't this the Dragon Gate Inn—"

"Shut up!" The white-faced man interrupted the words behind the swarthy man sharply, he looked around with sharp eyes, the evening breeze blew, and there was silence all around, and he said to the swarthy man who was silent on the side:

"Go to my lodgings. Then the two of them walked briskly into the distance.

"Whew~"

The night wind is getting stronger, in addition to the whistling wind around, there is a sudden sound of small friction, in the corner of the dilapidated building, a figure has been hiding here for a long time, it is Lao Zheng who came with Ren Wu and wanted to secretly find out some news.

Lao Zheng, who overheard the conversation, turned pale at this time, his fingers trembled slightly, and his heartbeat slowly returned to normal from the state of near stagnation just now, "Huh~ Longmen Inn? hmm~ Let's go for a trip!" Lao Zheng hesitated for a while and finally made up his mind.

He first returned to the door of his dilapidated wooden house, cautiously entered his room, without alarming the sleeping old mother, and then took out his last savings from the secret compartment under the bed, carefully put it in his arms, turned around and walked gently towards the door, when passing his mother's room, Lao Zheng suddenly had a trace of hesitation in his heart, "What if something happens to me because of this, what should my mother do?" The look on his face struggled several times, and finally gritted his teeth and relentlessly, "Childe respects me for kindness, I should repay him with righteousness!" and then resolutely went out.

He hurried all the way to the gate outside Linzi City, panting.

Although it is night at this time, the city gate is still brightly lit, and there are many pedestrians coming and going, but compared with the daytime, the inventory is stricter, and people who enter the city at night will be charged night entry fees.

Lao Zheng's eyes were full of determination, and after he waited for his breath to be stable, he stepped forward, took out all the savings in his arms, and handed them to the warrior on duty at the city gate together with his identity credentials, and the young warrior on duty glanced at Lao Zheng and said coldly:

"Why did you enter the city at night?"

"I went to see my cousin who lives in the business district of the outer city. Lao Zheng replied calmly.

Hearing this, the young warrior nodded slightly, returned the identity certificate to Lao Zheng, and let him go.

Lao Zheng took the identity certificate with both hands, slowly put it into his arms, and then walked towards the city at a normal pace, and after being away from the city gate for a distance, he immediately accelerated and hurried towards the direction of the Dragon Gate Inn. "I can't go to the business district to find Lao Li, in case something happens to me, I won't implicate him, and my mother will have someone to take care of. He kept on his feet, and his heart quickly made a decision.

............

Outside Linzi City, a gathering place for the poor, in a dilapidated wooden house.

The wooden door was pushed open, and the two people waiting in the room instantly looked at the person with sharp eyes, "Master Bai, Master Hei, find out clearly! It's the Confucian Palace that is looking for the person on the portrait!"

"Got it, you can go back. The white-faced man threw a small bag of coins to the visitor and said lightly.

"Thank you, two masters!" the person who came quickly took the money and left.

"Big brother, the portrait must be this person! I have had close contact with him, and I will never be wrong! Let's hurry up and tell the people of the Academy Palace the news of the people in the Dragon Gate Inn! Don't let others take the lead!" the swarthy man got up and said hurriedly.

"Wait a minute!" the white-faced man groaned, a hint of doubt on his face, "The power of the Confucian Academy is all over Linzi City, if you want to secretly find someone, it is not easy to find a person?

"Maybe the Academy Palace thinks that if that person is outside the city, it is still easier for people like us to find someone to use! Besides, even if the Academy Palace has any schemes, how can we manage it, and it is only right to get the reward in hand!" said the swarthy man anxiously.

A trace of unwillingness flashed in the white-faced man's eyes, and a helpless look appeared on his face, "Okay, let's go, go to the city gate to find the academy disciple on duty." He shook his head slightly.

The swarthy man looked ecstatic and slammed the door first, and the white-faced man also accelerated to follow.

The two of them unfolded their bodies, galloped in the night, and after a while, they arrived at the gate outside Linzi City, the two stopped and looked at each other, and the white-faced man stepped forward first,

"Who's coming!" the warrior on duty saw the two approaching, and immediately stepped forward and said sharply.

"Before the two brothers, they had seen the person they were looking for in the school palace in the city, and they came to report to the school palace on duty. The white-faced man said in a positive voice.

"Let them come. A middle-aged man with a long beard and an elegant face in a cyan robe said indifferently.

The warrior on duty got out of the way as he was told, and let the two of them step forward.

"The two of you can speak. The elegant man smiled at the two.

The white-faced man told the truth about his previous encounter with Xiao Mo at the Dragon Gate Inn, and then stood aside with his head bowed.

The elegant man groaned, called a surrounding warrior on duty, and after explaining, said to the two:

"You two wait here, and if you have nothing to do, you will go out on your own after dawn. As he spoke, he took out two spirit stones from the storage bag, only to see these two spirit stones floating in the air and floating towards the two of them, "This is your reward." Then he turned and left the gate, and went toward the city.

"Spirit Stone!" The swarthy man's face was full of ecstasy, his hands kept stroking back and forth on the smooth outer wall of the spirit stone, and his eyes were full of intoxication.

"Sect Master!" The white-faced man's pupils shrank instantly, looking at the distant figure, a trace of yearning flashed in his eyes, and at the same time he reached out to take the spirit stone floating out of thin air, glanced at the swarthy man on the side, and shook his head slightly......

............

"Huh~Huh~Huh~"

Lao Zheng gasped heavily, and when he saw that he finally saw the four big words "Dragon Gate Inn" in front of him, his heart that had been anxious suddenly felt at ease, and he was three points faster under his feet, and hurried to the front.

In the inn, Xiao Mo's room was lit by candlelight at this time, he was sitting on a wooden chair by the window, enjoying the brightly lit night scene outside, at this time he finally stopped sneezing all the time, but the previous sleepiness had long disappeared, and he couldn't sleep at all, he was helpless, "Huh!" Suddenly he felt that a familiar figure seemed to flash on the street below, and when he wanted to confirm it carefully, the figure had disappeared.

"Am I dazzled? I hardly have anyone familiar with this Linzi City. Xiao Mo wondered in his heart, and somehow the image of Lao Li and Lao Zheng suddenly flashed in his mind, "Knock knock." A soft knock on the door suddenly sounded, "Hmm, who will it be at this time?" Xiao Mo wondered in his heart.

He opened the door and found the shopkeeper standing outside the door with an apologetic smile, followed by a person, "I'm really sorry, I disturbed the rest of the guest, but this old man said that he knew the distinguished guest, and he had something important to discuss with the distinguished guest, so he took the liberty to bring him here, but I don't know the distinguished guest——"

"Lao Zheng, why are you here so late, is there anything urgent that you need my help with?" Xiao Mo saw Lao Zheng, who was panting and reddish behind the shopkeeper, and hurriedly interrupted the shopkeeper.

"Since you know this guy, you won't bother the two of you, and you can call me at any time if you need it. The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, thank you. Xiao Mo nodded, then led Lao Zheng into the house and closed the door.

"Lao Zheng, how did you know that I live here?" Xiao Mo asked with a smile on his face, curious.

"Xiao Gongzi, something is wrong!"

............

"Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, this is it. The middle-aged man with a face like black charcoal pointed to the Longmen Inn Road not far away.

"Senior Brother Fan just go by himself, I'll set up a formation here. The elegant middle-aged man with a long beard said.

"Okay, there is Senior Brother Lao Zhao. Fan Lige smiled and nodded, and walked towards the Dragon Gate Inn.

As soon as Fan Lige entered the lobby of the inn, he felt that he had passed through a layer of aura barrier, he smiled slightly, and said kindly to the shopkeeper who greeted him:

"Fan Lige in the Lower Confucian Academy, come to your store to find a person, I don't know which room this person is?" said and showed the portrait in his hand.

"Adults, please, and the small ones will take you there. When the shopkeeper heard the words Confucian Academy, he suddenly felt a thunderbolt in his head, and he was excited, with a respectful look on his face, bent down slightly, and led the way for Fan Lige in front.

"Knock knock!" The knock on the door sounded outside Xiao Mo's room, but there was no movement in the room, Fan Lige saw this, his eyes flashed, his right hand held the door handle of the house, and the internal force rushed violently, and instantly rushed the door open, he entered to take a look, sure enough, it was the same as what he sensed, the room was empty, and there was still residual heat on the wooden chair by the window, obviously the person in the house had just left, he didn't care about it, he took out a palm-sized quaint disc that emitted a dark blue light from the storage bag, aimed the disc at the wooden chair, a dark blue light flashed, and then a faint smoke-like breath floated from the wooden chair into the handicap, and the breath was quickly dyed with dark blue color after entering the plateAfter that, it kept rushing in one direction in the plate, but no matter what, it couldn't break out of the disk.

When the shopkeeper saw that the room was empty, he panicked, and when he didn't know what to do, he saw a flash of dark blue light in front of him, and then the adults from the school palace disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"This!" The shopkeeper was frightened and inexplicable, and hurriedly rushed out of the house, and hurriedly ran downstairs to find the shopkeeper......
