After more than ten days of intense training, Han Leng led Zheng Xiaoyi and Xu Changchang to participate in a competition far abroad.

Today's team is no longer the ignorant and ignorant it was at the beginning, but a seasoned team that has gone through a hundred battles.

Even in the continental competition where the masters were like clouds and the strong teams were rampant, Zheng Xiaoyi and his party did not fall behind at all, and finally achieved enough points with a score of 3 to 2 and successfully advanced to the international competition.

And the international competition will be a fierce competition, for the world championship, there is no team that does not work hard, no team will slack off.

This can no longer be regarded as a contest of skills, but a test of the team's comprehensive ability.

In the team base, Zheng Xiaoyi blamed himself: "I feel that I have dragged down the overall strength of the team, and those two failures were because of my mistakes." ”

Xu Chang patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "You have done a good job, it's just that those people are targeting you." ”

Zheng Xiaoyi: "But the reason why they targeted me was because they found that I was the weakest part of the team, the most promising place, and the breakthrough point for their victory." ”

Xu Changchang smiled and said: "But those three victories also have your credit, if it weren't for those people who always wanted to target you, we wouldn't be able to gain an advantage in other ways." And I found ...... It's becoming more and more logical for you to say that watching esports can really make people smarter. You are two people from high school. ”

Zheng Xiaoyi said with a bitter face: "This has nothing to do with e-sports, it's just that I have grown up and matured and know more truths." But...... I still haven't been able to keep up with you, and I'm afraid that when I wait until the international races, I may be a drag on you...... How about you ask for help? I'll just be a substitute, what do you think? ”

Zhong Le nodded: "I think it's feasible." ”

Bai Sheng also raised his hand in agreement: "Why don't you call Fang Wu or Wu Siwen?" Aren't both of them technically good? Fang Wu has won the continental championship, doesn't he want to win the world championship again? And Wu Siwen, coach, didn't you say that he is at a similar level to you, and it is difficult for the two of you to distinguish between them? ”

Han Leng shook his head: "Fang Wu hasn't competed for a long time, since he won the continental championship, he has retired bravely and become a game streamer, leaving people with infinite conjectures, so his reputation has been shocked, and a large number of his fans feel that he is a strong contender for the world championship." I don't think he's going to risk going international, because if he loses at the international level, his reputation could plummet. ”

Bai Sheng suddenly said: "It turns out that there are still these ways among them!" What about Wu Siwen? He didn't work as an anchor, and now he's also idle. ”

Han Leng: "I don't know his current state, but if I make an analogy, I don't think he is suitable for competition at the moment." ”

Bai Sheng: "What do you say?" ”

Han Leng: "A person's state is very important, especially esports. If you don't have contact for a long time, it will be difficult to pick up the technology of the past, just like my current situation, that is, although I know a lot, but because there is too little actual combat, my hands have become rusty, and it may take a very long time to get used to it again. Wu Siwen is now obsessed with tackling tough teams and has no interest in TW at all, and he is not short of money and does not want any world championship title. So it's hard to recruit him into the team. ”

Liu Haoyu, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Why don't you contact him and ask?" ”

Han Leng nodded: "Yes, I'll call him now." ”

After the phone was connected, Han Leng invited Wu Siwen, but sure enough, Wu Siwen refused.

Han Leng smiled helplessly at the group: "You see, I just said that he is very likely not to accept it." ”

Zheng Xiaoyi had a bitter face: "Then what should I do, I think it will be difficult for us to fight in the World Championship." ”

Zhong Le also sighed: "That's true, now that the continental competitions are such strong opponents, it's hard to imagine what the world championships will be like." ”

The group came out of Xu Changchang and Han Leng, and they all began to frown.

Han Leng cheered them up and said, "This hasn't started yet, I don't have confidence first, how can this be done!" You are no worse than any team, believe in yourself. And even if you stop there, you've already achieved enough glory to be an extraordinary esports player. ”

Xu Changchang also smiled: "Yes, you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best." Even if we didn't win the World Championship, with our current achievements, it is beyond the reach of many teams and the dream of many people. ”

Han Leng and Xu Changchang said a lot of words to cheer them on, which finally made them confident and full of vitality again.

However, the international competition is still a few months away, and it will not be until the next semester. Xu Changchang also let the other team members relax and rest for a while, just occasionally play matching matches together, and contact must be rusty.

Suddenly, he was idle, and Han Leng was a little uncomfortable.

That night, as he lay in bed, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't dreamed for a long time.

"If only I could pick up on my last dream tonight." Han Leng muttered to himself.

Ever since he knew that Oguri was a person from that world, Han Leng wanted to see when the dream would end and what would happen next.

With such a mood, before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.

When he came to consciousness again, he had already incarnated into Desperation, and had come to the same place where his last dream was.

After seeing Yu Rou leave, he returned to the Lingmen to ask Ling Qingxue for advice and learn some things about cultivation.

Di Shu, who lived in the sea of poor knowledge, said dissatisfiedly: "If you ask me, I will know, I am an innate spirit treasure that has existed since the ancient immortal god period, and it is rare that there is something I don't know!" ”

Poor Path: "But you don't recognize the stone yesterday." ”

Dishu choked and argued: "That's different, it must have only appeared in the last few hundred years, I was asleep at that time, I don't know it's normal." ”

Poor Road: "But the current cultivation method keeps pace with the times, and it may be completely different from your period in many aspects. If I learn from you and make a mistake, I won't go mad. ”

Dishu was speechless, snorted, and stopped talking.

"But understood?" Ling Qingxue said with a smile.

Qiantu smiled slightly, nodded, and then put forward some of his own understanding and opinions.

Ling Qingxue was amazed, and boasted that he could easily draw inferences from one another, and his comprehension ability was even better.

"Hahaha...... Your boasting is almost about to say that there is nothing in heaven or on earth. I'm just a little more understanding because I'm older, and if I were a kid, I don't think I would be able to argue with you like I did. Exhausted said with a smile.

Ling Qingxue shook her head gently: "In the matter of cultivating the truth, talent is more important than age. Whether or not you can comprehend the strange fate in each depends on your mind, and there are many children who realize the Tao in one day and go straight to the realm of the Yuan Infant Divine Realm. So everything is possible, and everything has a cause. ”

Poor nodded: "That being said, it is difficult to find one among ten thousand people." Instead of hoping that you are one of the thousand, why not keep your feet on the ground and move forward one step at a time? After all, even if he is a genius, he may not be able to succeed. ”

Ling Qingxue's eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "What Xiaoyou said is very reasonable! But I, a well-informed person, have fallen into common opinion. It is already extraordinary for a poor friend to have this opinion, and he will definitely do something in the future. ”

Poor Tu said modestly: "Where, where." ”

Although it is modest, it is inevitable that there is some pride in my heart.

The corners of his mouth curled unconsciously.

The two talked about the moon hanging high.

Ling Qingxue looked up at the full moon in the sky, and said with a smile: "It is said that wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, but I didn't expect that I met two confidants at one time, I'm afraid I have to drink two thousand cups." It's just that the night is really late, and it seems that we can only wait for tomorrow. ”

Poor Tu also agreed: "We'll talk tomorrow." ”

The two then went their separate ways.

But when he returned to the house in desperation, he didn't see Xiao Qi.

If it was usual, he would definitely run out to help bring hot water to him as soon as he came back, even if he didn't know how many times he said it, so that he didn't have to do this, he still insisted on it every day.

But he hasn't come back yet......

The desperate way that had already gone to bed turned over and got out of bed.

He's going to look for Xiao Qi.

When I came to the lights of Wantu, I found that it was late at night but the lights were still bright.

Wandering in, I found that in the lobby, a bunch of people were tied up and strung out of the circle, and there were at least ten people.

When I looked closely, there was another boy who was not tied to the pile, but tied his hands and feet alone and threw him on the ground, it was a teenager dressed as a small guy, it was Xiao Qi!

What's going on, why is Xiao Qi also tied up?

The girl who was sitting next to Xiao Qi, who fell to the ground...... It seems to be called Ping'er, it's Xiao Qi's childhood sweetheart, and she is also tied up......

It seems that things are already very clear, Xiao Qi can't be arrested for no reason, it must be because of the girl named Ping'er.

A man who looked like a steward picked up the long whip and drew it to the screen, and the whip drew a swift shadow, which was about to hit the weak girl's face.

At this moment, the little guy next to the girl who was tied hands and feet suddenly jumped and blocked the long whip.

"Smack-"

The sound of whipping was not small, and he was trying to stop it, but the steward had already stopped, he stared at Xiao Qi with a frown, and asked, "Where are you?" Why defend this thief who stole it? You don't look like a gang, and this thief says it has nothing to do with you. Why don't you want to leave and interfere with our trial of this thief? ”

The pump just now was really hard, and Xiao Qi felt that even through his clothes, his chest must have been peeled open. Fortunately...... Fortunately, this is a hit on her body, if it is hit on Ping'er's body, then how can she bear it.

Xiao Qi grinned in pain, he shook his head and said: "Ping'er must have been framed or threatened by someone, I beg the steward not to torture her to extract a confession, give me a little time, let me persuade her, she will confess." ”

The steward nodded: "Then you can persuade it." ”

Xiao Qi moved his body and turned to look at Ping'er, but Ping'er looked indifferent, but turned his head and said: "This thing is done by me alone, it has nothing to do with others, you don't need to persuade me, I have already looked down on life and death." ”

Xiao Qi wanted to reach out and touch her head, but then he found that he was tied up and couldn't move, he smiled: "What kind of stupid thing are you talking about." Didn't we say that if we saved enough money, we would go back to our hometown and get married? You must have been forced to do things for those people, right? You don't have to be afraid, you just have to say it, I'll ...... I have a way to save you, and then we will go back to our hometown immediately, shall we? ”

Ping'er's eyes were red when she listened, and she was about to cry, but she bit her lower lip and forcibly held back the tears: "I still say the same thing, it was all done by me alone, and it has nothing to do with others." If you want to fight or kill, come quickly. ”

Xiao Qi was puzzled, he said sadly: "What's wrong with you?" Who threatens you? They're threatening you with your family, aren't they? Don't be like this, I'm glad I came here just to see you! How can you not cherish your life like this......"

Xiao Qi said it heartbreakingly, and Ping'erna's face, which had always remained indifferent, began to change a little, and a trace of unbearable appeared.

Seeing that she had a little reaction, Xiao Qi persuaded again: "Even if you say that you are the mastermind behind the scenes, you say it, and I will protect you." ”

Hearing Xiao Qi's words, Ping'er's just interesting and moved face was suddenly stunned, and then returned to an indifferent and ruthless appearance.

The steward finally got impatient, and he glanced at some of the men, who understood, picked up the whip that had been set aside, and walked over to the bundled men.

The steward frowned and said, "You still have one last chance to confess, if not, I will draw you to speak." ”

The men were about to use the whip, but the steward stopped them again: "Pull that little guy away first, if he is killed, his master is afraid that he will come to seek trouble, and at this time, these troublesome things are still one less thing." ”

When the two guys heard this, they went to pull Xiao Qi, but although Xiao Qi's hands and feet were tied, he still resisted desperately and kept struggling, so that the two strong men who were much taller than him couldn't help him for a while.

"It's such a waste, I can't even pull an ordinary little guy away. Forget it, don't waste time, let's fight together, it's just a small guy anyway. In this Longkou City, even if it is the City Lord's Mansion, you have to give me this ten thousand lights and lights to manage three points of thin noodles, and I will bear it if there is something. I went back to my room first, and anyone who wanted to confess his sins was brought to me. When the steward had finished speaking, he departed.

Several of the men who received the order began to wave their long whips.

The sound of "crackling" sounded, and the sound of crying for mercy rang out with it, and it was endless.

When someone begs for mercy, the person in charge will ask the guy who smoked the person to stop and ask questions. If he couldn't satisfy the steward, he would order the guy to continue smoking.

Xiao Qi kept moving left and right, trying to block a few more whips for the sturdy and completely immobile screen that was tied. But there was more than one pump, and he was tied up again, unable to fully take care of it.

There were already several red marks on the girl's face.

The number of people watching the excitement suddenly increased, and the poor road was unable to squeeze in front of the person in charge for a while. I want to shout to stop directly, but these are still those who watch the excitement, they are loud and noisy, and the sound of desperation will only be drowned out in the noise.

When he finally squeezed out of the pile, he saw that Xiao Qi had been drawn and bruised all over his body.

"Tell them to stop." And he came to the housekeeper's house, and said unto him.

The steward looked at the poor strangely: "You are?" ”

Poor Tu took out the token of the Mizhou City Lord's Mansion from his arms, which was sent by the city lord, who was the prince of Li He, before he left: "I am Li Yang, your fourth young master. ”

The steward stared at the token for a long time, and finally saw that it was the real thing, and his eyes widened, and then he smiled all over his face: "Ah! It turned out that the fourth young master was coming, and the small one was far away. “

"Don't talk about these things yet, let my little guy go." Poor Tu frowned, thought about it, and then explained, "The girl who knew my little girl was also released and brought along." ”

The steward nodded busily and asked one of his fellows to give the order.

"A few days ago, I received news from Mizhou, saying that the third young master and the fourth young master were coming soon. Why do you only see the fourth young master now? The steward asked with a smile.

Li Ziba...... I really can't guess where he ran again.

"I went on the road separately from him halfway, and I don't know where he arrived now, so I should be here in the next two days." There is also some uncertainty about the road to exhaustion.

"Then the little one will go and send a letter to Mizhou, saying that you have arrived, so as not to worry about the prince." The steward got up and prepared to go out.

"Wait." Desperate shouted.

The steward turned around with a smile on his face: "I don't know what else the young master has to order?" ”

Poor road Zhengse said: "My little guy is definitely not involved in this matter, I can guarantee it." As for the girl...... Just let her go for the sake of my face, I also know the rules of the Li family, but I hope you don't report this incident. ”

The steward rolled his eyes and smiled shrewdly: "It turns out that the fourth young master is not what he rumored... Haha, if you let me release all the people, I will do the same, but this matter will definitely be known to the palace in the future, and the fourth young master will probably be responsible for it at that time. Now it seems that the fourth young master still understands some things, don't worry, I can still hide a person's words, and I won't let the news leak. ”

At this time, the two guys helped Xiao Qi, who had fainted from the pain, to come over, and Xiao Qi was followed by a worried girl Ping'er.

The steward smiled at Qiantu and said, "These two people can be disposed of by the fourth young master, but they don't know the ...... outside."

Poor Tu thought for a while and said, "Don't fight yet, lock it up." I'll take care of that now. ”

The steward nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, then it's up to the fourth young master, the little one will go down first." ”

Desperate nodded: "Well, go ahead." ”

After the steward took the two men away, only Poor Tu and the girl named Ping'er were left in the room.

Poor Tu spoke first: "Your name is Ping'er, right?" ”

Ping'er nodded indifferently, she thought in her heart which one this was, but in any case, this must be acting for herself.

Poor Tu said again: "You are Xiao Qi's childhood sweetheart, right?" ”

Ping'er didn't answer with a cold face.

Qiantu felt that he couldn't talk to her, and he didn't want to be bored, so he squatted down and looked at Xiao Qi's injury.

Suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a little wound medicine in his arms, so he took it out and gave it to Xiao Qi.

After a while, Xiao Qi woke up slowly, he saw the poor road squatting in front of him at a glance, and hurriedly struggled to get up: "Young master...... Hiss...... Ah......h

Desperately pressed his shoulder: "Lie down, you'd better not move now, give some time for your wound to scab over." ”

Xiao Qi said anxiously: "But Ping'er is still being beaten, I have to save her." ”

As he spoke, he tried to get up again, but another sharp pain from the wound tearing came, almost making him faint again.

Ping'er on the side was taken aback when he heard Xiao Qi shouting the poor young master, and then he believed that this tall young man was not acting in partnership with those people.

Seeing Xiao Qi struggling and screaming again, she hurriedly ran over: "I'm here, I'm fine." ”

Xiao Qi turned his head to see her, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay down with peace of mind.

Poor Tu smiled: "Can you tell me what happened?" ”

Xiao Qi coughed twice: "Ahem...... I only know that I lost a spirit bead, and I don't know anything else. ”

He looked up at Xiao Qidao: "Don't worry, with the young master here, no one can hurt you." ”

Poor Tu smiled: "Not to mention anything else, the reason why those people behind you want to come to steal a strange spirit bead so much, instead of directly robbing it or using other means, shows that they are still very afraid of here." You can tell me the reason for the incident without worrying about retaliation or anything. ”

Ping'er looked at Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi gave her an encouraging look, Ping'er took a long breath, and then said, "I am the inner disciple of Huixuemen." ”

As soon as she said this, Xiao Qi was surprised: "When did you join the Snow Gate?" How do you ever write back or tell me? ”

Ping'er shook her head: "I was secretly recruited. And why did I join, mainly because I was wronged in this building, and I wanted to commit suicide several times, but fortunately, a few disciples who returned to Xuemen tried their best to enlighten and persuade them, and helped them many times, so I agreed to join. Unexpectedly, after joining, I can also receive another salary from Huixuemen, and the price is just for me to inquire and collect some simple information. Such a good thing, I have no reason to refuse. Later, they got better and better for me...... I've never felt at home, and I think they're my family. ”

Xiao Qi was a little angry and said, "It's rare that I'm not your family!" Why don't you discuss these things with me? ”

Ping'er looked at him: "I'm sorry." I just think it's all bad for you, and that's going to make me unhappy. ”

Xiao Qi hated iron a little: "But there is no free lunch in the world, you must have to pay something to accept their kindness like this!" ”

Ping'er sighed: "That's why I plan to return the favor with my life this time." ”
