On this day, Zhang Lu got up early in the morning, and when he passed by the Jinyi Guard School, he found that Ji Gang was actually practicing alone.

Looking at his sweaty appearance, I think he has been practicing for a long time.

Ji Gang saw Zhang Lu from a distance, he put away the embroidered spring knife, and arched his hand: "Morning, adult."

Zhang Yan nodded, walked into the school grounds, and asked Ji Gang, "Why did you remember to run this practice?" Don't you have to take care of the lottery center?"

Ji Gang replied: "There is Yu Zhaosen in the lottery center, and Wu Guanshan, the two of them are in charge, where do they still need to take care of their humble duties?"

I have to say that Yu Zhaosen and Guan Shan are rare talents, these two people are literate and martial, and they have faintly become Zhang Lu's right-hand man, on the other hand, Ji Gang, although he is still smart, but he can't be a martial artist, if he hadn't known Zhang Lu earlier, I'm afraid he wouldn't have his current status.

Zhang Zhen nodded and said, "They are good, but you are not bad either."

Ji Gang shook his head, he had a very clear self-awareness, and only heard him say: "If you don't meet an adult, I'm afraid you will still be a scoundrel in the gambling house, compared to the two of them, the lowly position is just luckier, and the time to meet the adult is earlier. I'm afraid it's too late to learn literature, but fortunately, my body is strong, and it's always good to practice martial arts a lot, so I don't want to help adults in the future, I just don't want to hold adults back in the future."

Most people in this world feel good about themselves, and it is not easy to have a clear understanding of themselves, and Ji Gang is obviously dissatisfied with the status quo, he still works hard with self-discipline, which is even more rare.

Zhang Lu didn't say anything encouraging, just gave Ji Gang a look full of anticipation, and gently patted Ji Gang's shoulder.

Ji Gang was indeed smart, he seemed to be able to read Zhang Ran's meaning from Zhang Lu's movements and eyes, he immediately knelt on one leg and said respectfully, "I will do my best to humble my duty."

Zhang Zhen nodded, and did not help Ji Gang up, but turned his head and waved his hand, and said, "You work hard, I am optimistic about you."

After speaking, Zhang Lu walked out of the school field slowly.

It wasn't until Zhang Yuan's figure disappeared from sight that Ji Gang got up, Zhang Rong's encouragement seemed to be that his whole body was full of strength, he pulled out the embroidered spring knife, a set of brocade clothes and guard knife techniques had made him very proficient, he walked extremely steadily, and sweat soon soaked his clothes.

……

The days have passed peacefully, and now the lottery has been drawn four times, the number of sales is slowly increasing, and Zhang Lu is also making a lot of money. The 1,000 taels of silver that ransomed for Liuli had already been returned to Fu Rang.

But no matter how much money he makes, Zhang Lu can't be happy, he can't let go of Liuli's death, this revenge must be avenged, and God knows how many people Jiumen is persecuting in secret, a cancer like Jiumen must be removed.

Zhang Lu originally wanted to make more money through the lottery center, and then absorb the underworld forces in the entire Jinling City, so that there would always be a time when Jiumen couldn't sit still.

But now more than 20 days have passed, and the underworld forces in the entire Jinling City have basically been absorbed, but it is a pity that the nine gates still have not surfaced.

On this day, Zhang Lu finished his studies in the James Mansion, and thought about going to Ji Gang to ask if he had obtained any news about the Nine Gates and the Dark Lord recently.

It's a pity that when I arrived at the school, I didn't see Ji Gang's figure, you must know that at this time in the past, Ji Gang must have practiced himself on the school field.

Zhang Ran couldn't help but feel strange, he knew that Ji Gang was by no means the kind of person who gave up lightly, Zhang Gang couldn't help but think in his heart: Isn't there something tricky that the lottery center has encountered? Or is it the news of the Nine Gates and the Dark Lord?

Since you can't find the school field, you can only go to the lottery center.

Now there are four lottery centers in Jinling City,Ji Gang sits in the earliest one on weekdays,That is, the one that was changed from the gambling house。

Although the location and scale are not as good as those of the others, due to the earliest opening, many regular customers still like to buy lottery tickets here.

It's just that the streets and alleys are lively on weekdays, but there is no one today.

Zhang Lu seemed to smell a hint of danger.

He walked quickly to the lottery center, but the doors and windows were closed, and Zhang Zhen tried to push it a few times, but he couldn't push it open.

There's no way,

He could only use his internal strength and smash the door with one palm.

But I saw people lying on the ground in the lottery center, these people were recruited by Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu secretly said that it was not good, and immediately stepped forward to investigate one by one.

Fortunately, these people are still alive, and their breathing and heartbeat are stable, probably because they have been drugged by some kind of sweat medicine.

Since he didn't die, Zhang Lu was relieved, he continued to walk inside, and finally saw Ji Gang in the back room.

It's just that the current Ji Gang can be said to have no image at all, he was tied up with a rope, and his mouth was blocked, so he hung upside down on the beam.

Seeing Zhang Lu come in, Ji Gang immediately became excited, he shook his body very hard, and his mouth also made a "woo" sound, he seemed to have something to tell Zhang Rong, but unfortunately his mouth was blocked too tightly, and he couldn't say a word.

Zhang Zhen didn't rush forward, he was afraid that there would be an ambush around, but he observed everything up and down, and did not find anyone else in the house.

Only then did Zhang Lu walk up to Ji Gang, take out the embroidered spring knife and directly cut the rope hanging Ji Gang.

After practicing martial arts for a few days, Ji Gang's body was a lot lighter, although he was hanging upside down, he twisted his body when he landed, avoiding any intimate contact between his face and the earth, and rolled again, and sat firmly on the ground.

Zhang Zhen is knife at Ji Gang, this knife is just right in terms of accuracy and strength, the blade cut the rope that binds Ji Gang, but it did not hurt Ji Gang in the slightest, even if it was Ji Gang's clothes, it was not broken by half a point.

Ji Gang hurriedly took down the strip of cloth that was gagged, and said directly, "My lord! It was the people of the Nine Gates who attacked us!"

Nine Gates, is it finally coming to the surface?

Zhang Lu had a solemn expression and said, "Tell me more details."

After all, he had been tied up for a long time before, and his body was so numb that Ji Gang twisted and stood up, Xu was the reason why he was hung upside down, this station actually made Ji Gang's eyes blacken, and he almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Zhang Lu's eyes were quick and he helped Ji Gang up.

"Are you alright?" Zhang Yu asked.

Ji Gang gasped for a few breaths, and shook his head hard, only then did he feel a lot better.

He nodded to Zhang Zhen and said, "It's okay to be humble. Today, there were a lot of guests in our lottery center,But somehow there were no guests coming in,I wanted to go out and see,Who knew that there were several people in black who broke in,As soon as they came in, they sprinkled a lot of medicinal powder,We couldn't be prepared,They were all put on the ground。 They bound up the lowly position, and woke up the lowly office, so that the lowly office could only give a word to the adult."

"What?" Zhang asked asked.

Ji Gang recalled for a moment and said, "If you take refuge in the Dark Lord, you will enjoy wealth and glory, and if you are an enemy of the Dark Lord, you will move."
