The Dark City, Shumen.

In the backyard of Shumen, everyone was practicing martial arts and swordsmanship under the leadership of Mo Feng, Mo Feng glanced at Tianqing, who was practicing martial arts hard in the midst of everyone, and nodded with satisfaction.

Because Tianqing defeated Luoqu with an overwhelming advantage that day, and set up a gambling contract with Luoqu, these days, Tianqing did not go out to play anymore, and has been following Mo Feng and others to cultivate in Shumen. But for some reason, the bet between the two spreads in the Dark City. Many people are talking about it and waiting for the showdown between the two of them.

What's more, set up a gambling game to bet on who will win Tianqing and Luoqu. Tianqing wins, ten to one, and Luoqu wins, one to ten. Although Mo Feng was disdainful of this, Zhao Mo and the others were full of interest, and pressed down three thousand taels of silver to bet on Tianqingsheng. But what is surprising is that in such a situation of disparity in strength, someone actually bought Luoqu Sheng with 100,000 taels of silver.

Many of the warriors who were buying bets at that time looked at that person in surprise and sneered. But the man turned a deaf ear and left. It just so happened that Zhao Mo and a few people were also there, because of this, Zhao Mo and the others were puzzled, judging from the person's clothes, that person was more like a servant, could it be that someone was supporting Luoqu behind his back?

Zhao Mo, who couldn't pay attention, told Mo Feng about this, Mo Feng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: As long as Tianqing practices martial arts hard, no matter how hard Naluoqu tries, he is not Tianqing's opponent. Hearing this, Zhao Mo also nodded in agreement. So these days, Zhao Mo can pay special attention to Tianqing, and even go to the thatched house.

This made Tianqing uncomfortable for a while, no matter how Tianqing asked, they naturally would not bet on Tianqing and the two, they all smiled and said something innocuous perfunctorily, and Tianqing was helpless.

"Alright, let's stop and rest for a while. Mo Feng looked at the sky and raised his hand.

When everyone heard this, they immediately shouted, put down the long sword in their hands, the stone lock, and sat aside to rest. Tianqing looked at Mo Feng and the others, but he didn't see Lao Jiu, and said, "Brother Mo, hasn't Uncle Jiu come today?"

"Who knows? I guess I'm sleeping in my room again. Zhao Mo shrugged his shoulders and said.

"It's strange to say, have you noticed that something is wrong with Lao Jiu recently? Since Tianqing came back from the battle with Luoqu two months ago, Lao Jiu has locked himself in his room all day. Not only that, but even about Tianqing's gamble, he didn't care about it. Mo Feng groaned.

"Who says it's not?" Tian Qi said, "When I met him yesterday, he also said hello lightly and went back to the room, always feeling that Lao Jiu seemed to be preoccupied." Even when I look at people, there is a trace of "

"What's the slight?" Mo Feng said in surprise.

"It seems that everyone is his enemy, and his eyes are full of anger!" Tian Qi said in a deep voice.

"Impossible, right?" Tianqing said with a look of disbelief.

"Brother Qi is right, when I met Lao Jiu that day, I also felt that Lao Jiu was a little different from before. Zhou Ben nodded.

Tianqing still didn't believe Tian Qi's words, and looked at Zhao Mo Lao Jiu and said, "Brother Zhao, you have been friends with Uncle Nine for a long time, do you know why Uncle Nine suddenly became like this?"

"This" Zhao Mo and Lao Liu glanced at each other, and hesitated: "When I established the bandit group with Lao Liu, there was no Lao Jiu, and later we accidentally found him on the way back from robbing the caravan outside, when he was covered in blood, and it seemed that he was chased and killed by the enemy and escaped. ”

"Later, Lao Jiu's injuries healed, he has been silent, and finally asked to join our bandit group, my eldest brother and I saw that Lao Jiu's strength was good, so we accepted him, we asked about him, he always avoided talking about it, only said that his name was Lao Jiu, just like me. The sixth shrugged his shoulders and continued.

"Could it be that Lao Jiu saw his former enemy and became like this?" Mo Feng guessed.

"With Lao Jiu's character, if he meets the enemy, he will definitely go up and fight hard as soon as possible, and Lao Jiu can't hide things in his heart, I'm afraid it's not just the enemy. Zhao Mo pondered.

When Tianqing heard this, he suddenly remembered the scene when Lao Jiu saw those people that day, and there was a trace of doubt on his face, is it really like what Zhao Mo said?

Tianqing opened his mouth and said, "I'll go see Uncle Nine." ”

"Let's go check it out, too. Mo Feng proposed.

"I think it's better to forget it. The sixth man stopped, "You also know that Tianqing and Lao Jiu have the best relationship, and Lao Jiu has been a little different recently, I think it's better to let Tianqing go to find out, it's not good for us to go." ”

Mo Feng thought for a moment and said, "It's okay." ”

Zhao Mo looked at Mo Feng with some words and hesitated: "If, if it is really Lao Jiu who met the former enemy, Brother Mo, what should we do?"

This is a difficult problem, Mo Feng saw that Zhao Mo and the others were looking at him, waiting for his choice, Mo Feng said: "Now the matter has not been clarified, if it is really as you said, then we must avenge this revenge!"

With Brother Mo's words, we are relieved. Zhao Mo exclaimed.

"Brother Zhao, I think it's top priority for us to find out the reasons why Lao Jiu became like this as soon as possible. Tian Qi said in a deep voice.

"Well, what Brother Tian said is, it's just that now Lao Jiu doesn't pay attention to anyone, I just hope that Tianqing can ask something from Lao Jiu's mouth, so that we can be prepared. Mo Feng nodded.

When Tianqing came to Lao Jiu's room, he saw that the door was closed. Tianqing took a step forward, gently patted the door and said, "Ninth Uncle, Ninth Uncle, are you there?" I am Tianqing. ”

"Tianqing, go back, I've been a little uncomfortable for the past two days. After a long time, Lao Jiu's low and hoarse voice finally came from the room.

"Uncle Jiu, what's wrong with you, open the door!" Hearing Lao Jiu's somewhat hoarse voice, Tianqing said a little anxiously.

The room suddenly fell silent, no matter how Tianqing called, Lao Jiu was still silent, Tianqing looked at the closed door with some disappointment, and the door slowly opened when Tianqing was about to leave.

I saw Lao Jiu's hair scattered on his shoulders, his eyes were red, and there were two faint tear stains on both sides of his cheeks that had just been wiped clean, because he hadn't walked out of the room for a long time, Lao Jiu's body exuded a trace of musty.

"Uncle Jiu, you, what's wrong with you?" Tianqing looked at Lao Jiudao with some shock.

Lao Jiu didn't give a look, and quietly turned around and returned to the room. Tianqing then stepped into the room, and when a damp breath came to his face, Tianqing waved his small hand, looked at the closed window in the room, walked to the window, and opened the window to let in air.

When I turned around, I found that in a drawer that had not been completely closed, I saw a whetstone, and the whetstone was faintly shining with water.

Looking at Lao Jiu, who was staying by the bed, Tianqing said softly: "Uncle Jiu, why don't you accompany Tianqing to practice martial arts these days?"

Lao Jiu slowly raised his head, looked at Tianqing with a puzzled face, his eyes revealed an indescribable tenderness, gently touched Tianqing's head, and took Tianqing into his arms.

Tianqing suddenly froze, looked at Lao Jiu who was holding him, and said, "Uncle Jiu, did those people remind you of the past?"

"No, no. Lao Jiu denied it.

"Is it really like what Brother Zhao said? Those people are the enemies of Uncle Jiu? I'm going to kill them and avenge Uncle Jiu. Tianqing said in a deep voice. broke free from Lao Jiu's arms and walked straight out of the door.

"Don't, don't go, you're not his opponent!" Lao Jiu hurriedly grabbed Tianqing and begged.

"Even if I'm not an opponent, and Brother Lin, I don't believe that even Brother Lin is not his opponent!" Tianqing said in a deep voice.

Lao Jiu shook his head slowly, and muttered, "I'm afraid the master of the door is not his opponent."

Mo Feng and the others sat in the lobby, looking out of the door from time to time, and everyone had a trace of worry on their faces.

"Tianqing has been gone for two hours, why hasn't he come back yet?" Mo Feng said in surprise.

"Maybe"

Before Zhao Mo finished speaking, Tianqing walked into the lobby with a disappointed face.

"Tianqing, how is Lao Jiu?" Zhao Mo said eagerly.

"Uncle Nine is fine. Tianqing said lightly.

"Tianqing, what news can you get from Lao Jiu's mouth?" Mo Feng looked at Tianqing and asked.

Tianqing looked up at Mo Feng, Zhao Mo and the others were looking at him, pondered for a moment and said, "No." ”

"No?" Mo Feng and the others looked at each other, and the sixth said with some disbelief: "Tianqing, the ninth really didn't tell you anything?"

"Not really. If it's okay, I'll go back first. A trace of struggle flashed in Tianqing's eyes, and finally said firmly.

Everyone watched Tianqing leave the lobby with a confused expression, and the sixth man sitting on the side said: "In my opinion, Tianqing must know something, but for some reason, Tianqing will choose to help Lao Jiu keep secrets." ”

"If that's the case, what should Lao Jiu do? Otherwise, call Lao Jiu and ask him face to face?" Mo Feng muttered.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

"Luo Qi!" Mo Feng said in a loud voice.

"The disciple is here. Luo Qi immediately walked into the lobby and bowed.

"You're going to take Lao Jiu?!" Before Mo Feng finished speaking, he saw Lao Jiu wearing a strong suit, and the big knife behind him came slowly.

Seeing Lao Jiu walk into the lobby, Luo Qi stepped aside with interest. Zhao Mo looked at Lao Jiu in some surprise, and said, "Lao Jiu, you are"

Lao Jiu's eyes looked around everyone for a week, then looked at Mo Feng in the first seat and said, "Brother Mo, I came here today to say goodbye." ”

"Farewell?" said the crowd in amazement.

"Lao Jiu, if there is anything, you can tell me frankly, and we will do our best to help you. You don't need to do this, do you?" Mo Feng said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Lao Jiu, the three of us brothers have not seen any formation for so many years?" Zhao Mo echoed.

Hearing this, a trace of warmth rose in Lao Jiu's heart, and he looked at everyone: "Thank you for your kindness, but there are some things that you won't understand." ”

"From today on, I, Tan Jiu, have nothing to do with Shumen!" Lao Jiu said, pulling out the knife behind him, and suddenly cut off Yi Jue.
