On the way to Sword Cliff Mountain, Ren Xiao and the others had to pass through the ancient city.

"Have you gone in and have a look? You haven't been back for a long time!" the two stood at the gate of the ancient city and hesitated, but Wutong made the first suggestion to go in and have a look. Ren Xiao pondered for a moment and nodded.

The streets of the ancient city are completely different from when I left, the streets that were once bustling with activity are much deserted, displaced refugees can be seen everywhere, and the laughter and laughter of the past are no longer to be found. Ren Xiao was very emotional when he saw all this, and suddenly, he saw a laughing stall that had gone out of business, and the dilapidated façade was covered with cobwebs. Ren Xiao remembered that this was once the place where he bought charcoal-grilled saury when he first came to the ancient city, when the owner was just a small stall, and then when the business became bigger, he opened a small shop, who would have thought that the shop that was still in the market a year ago would now be reduced to this situation.

Unable to eat his favorite charcoal-grilled saury, Ren Xiao continued to walk forward, and this time he passed by a place that also left a deep impression on him, "Awakening Dream Building".

It was at the door of this tavern that Ren Xiao Fengshang and Ye Lan met for the first time, at that time, Ren Xiao was still a little hairy man who had just entered the rivers and lakes, and then he got acquainted with Feng Shang, and they really began to explore the rivers and lakes. At this time, there was no longer the previous hustle and bustle in the awakening building, the shopkeeper sat on the threshold with his head drooping and looking like he was about to fall asleep, and the wine flag at the door had been broken.

Ren Xiao stepped forward and came to the door, Xiao Er didn't raise his head when he saw someone coming, and said weakly: "What do you want to eat?" Ren Xiao saw Xiao Er's appearance, a little lost, and replied: "A bowl of fried noodles!"

Xiao Er suddenly had a spirit, because this voice was so familiar, he hurriedly looked up to look at the person, his sleepy face was instantly full of passion, and said in surprise: "Lord Ren, are you back?" Xiao Er's reaction reminded Ren Xiao of his original feelings, and said with a smile: "Passing by the ancient city, come in and have a look!" Xiao Er hurriedly pulled out the nearest stool and wiped it clean with his sleeve and said: "Sit, sit, my lord, I'll let the back kitchen cook for you!" Ren Xiao smiled and waved his hand, signaling him to hurry up.

"Shopkeeper, look who's coming!" Xiao Er shouted as he ran to the back kitchen. The boss who opened the curtain from the account room and walked out looked melancholy, and reprimanded Xiao Er: "What's the fuss? don't work hard" Before the words were finished, the boss saw Ren Xiao sitting there, and his face immediately changed his expression, and he said excitedly: "Eh, isn't this Ren Catch fast! You're back, that's great." Ren Xiao beckoned to the boss, who came over and sat next to him and said, "You've been gone for more than a year!

After the boss finished speaking, Ren Xiao explained: "You misunderstood, I just passed by the ancient city, so I came back to take a look!" Hearing Ren Xiao say this, the boss's face couldn't help but be a little disappointed, Ren Xiao asked sincerely: "What's wrong?" The boss sighed and said: "Alas, my lord, you don't know, since the chaos in the world, our ancient city was quickly affected, and a large number of refugees poured in like a tide, although Lord Fang and Master Feng tried their best to rescue, but there were too many refugees, and they couldn't be saved at all." Later, robbers and robbers broke out everywhere, and people everywhere were struggling to make a living, and Ma Zhukuai led the brothers of the Yamen to fight day and night, but after all, there was no way to stop the harassment of the robbers. Until now, the entire ancient city has not saved a few people. ”

Hearing the changes in the ancient city, Ren Xiao also lowered his head, the general trend of the world cannot be solved simply by one or two people, and no one can do anything to become what it is now. As he spoke, Xiao Er had already brought the rice. Ren Xiao asked again: "Then are Lord Fang and Master Feng okay now?" The boss nodded and said, "If it weren't for Lord Fang and Master Feng, I'm afraid that the ancient city would have been bloodied by the robbers a long time ago." ”

"What about Brother Ma of the Yamen? I heard you just say that they fight with robbers all day long, I don't know if it's okay?" Ren Xiao was very worried about these former colleagues. The boss sighed and didn't answer, and paused for a moment before continuing: "If you have time, you might as well go to the yamen to have a look!" Hearing this, Ren Xiao already knew that the situation of the brothers in the yamen was not very good.

After eating, Ren Xiao and Wutong left the Awakening Tower. "Are you going to go to the Yamen?" asked Wutong. Ren Xiao nodded and said, "Well, listening to what the boss said, I'm really worried about their situation." ”

"As a fast catcher, it is most normal to face death often, I think you should know!" Wutong didn't know how to comfort Ren Xiao, she had never comforted others before. Ren Xiao grinned and said reluctantly: "How can I not know this, but in the past, I faced danger with them, but now they themselves are in danger, how can this not worry me." ”

"But what has not been more dangerous than theirs?"

Soon, the two came to the outside of the yamen, and there was only a very young man standing guard at the door, and Ren Xiao stepped forward. Seeing that someone had stepped forward, Xiao Yu hurriedly greeted him, and asked in a childish voice, "What are you doing here?" Ren Xiao saw that the other party's action of holding the knife was still very raw, so he smiled and said: "I'm looking for Ma Long, and there are bean sprouts, you go and report it." Xiao Yu looked at Ren Xiao carefully, and then said, "Brother Ma, they have gone out of the city to carry out their mission, and they are not in the yamen at the moment, you can come back later!"

Ren Xi glanced back at the sycamore behind him, and it was impossible for him to wait, so he asked again: "Then do you know where they went to carry out the mission?" Now Xiao Yu was a little embarrassed, and said: "This, this is confidential, I can't tell you!"

Ren Xiao didn't expect this little catcher to be quite serious, and he didn't want to embarrass him, scratched his head and didn't know what to do, and turned to look at Wutong. After Ren Xiao turned around, Xiao Zhukuai saw the Miao black knife on his back, and then looked at Ren Xiao again, and asked nervously: "You, are you Ren Xiao, Ren Zhukuai?"

After hearing his name, Ren Xiao hurriedly turned around and asked with a puzzled expression: "Do you know me?" Xiao stammered: "That, I, I heard my predecessors say before, the previous head catcher was a young young man, with red hair and a black knife on his back, he is not afraid of power or strong enemies, and he is a good example for us to catch fast!" Ren Xiao blushed, scratched his head and smiled: "Is that so? I don't even know myself! Hahaha." ”

"Are you really Ren Zhutou?" Xiao Xiao was even more excited, and Ren Xiao nodded firmly. At this time, Xiao Zhukuai suddenly cried, grabbed Ren Xiao's hand and said, "My lord, go and help Brother Ma and them!

In the woods outside the ancient city, that is, where Ren Xiao used to practice often, Ren Xiao and Wutong advanced rapidly. Just now, Ren Xiao learned from the mouth of that little catcher that Ma Long took all the catchers of the Yamen today to prepare to fight to the death with the most powerful group of robbers outside the ancient city, and the ancient city could no longer be harassed by these robbers, so Ma Long planned to fight against the water.

"Come out, I'm going to fight you to the death today!" Marlon shouted as he stood outside the improvised bandit village, behind him more than two dozen heavily armed hunters, including the bean sprouts that had grown up, and the childishness on his face had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a determined gaze and an awe-inspiring look at death.

Ma Long held a simple knife in his hand, and there were two more scars on his face, and there was a righteous and awe-inspiring catcher standing beside him, only to see this catcher holding two steel knives in both hands, holding a straw in the corner of his mouth, and looking at the village in front of him with contempt.

"Boom" sounded, seventy or eighty little minions rushed out of the stockade, surrounded by these minions, a shirtless man walked out, only to see this big man stroking his clean head with both hands, sleepy eyes looked at Ma Long and a group of people to catch fast: "Why are you again? I didn't kill you all last time, it was already considered a mercy to you, why did you come to look for death today?"

"Tanuki, you have done a lot of evil, I am here to arrest you today!" Ma Long was not frightened by the other party's formation. "Yo Yo Yo Yo, you specially arrest me, you don't see if you have the ability, I'm here, you're coming!"

At this time, the big man beside Ma Long couldn't help but scold: "You brute, I'll take your dog's life!" said and waved his double knives and pounced first, "Hmph, even you, a waste person, want to provoke me, I really don't know whether to live or die!

A battle unfolded after these simple words, both sides were red-eyed, and in the midst of the chaos, Jike and Tanuki met. Jike raised the double knife and slashed up, Tanuki Wei took his own pair of drum sledgehammers from the minions beside him and greeted them without showing weakness, just a face, the sledgehammer in the hands of Jiwei knocked Jike's double knives away, Jike was also heavily smashed to the ground, Tanuki Wei spat and said: "You waste man is not at home and wait for death, come here to join in the fun, have you forgotten how you were injured in the first place?" Jike, who was caught by the other party, was furious, picked up a simple knife from the ground and rushed up again.

On the other side, Ma Long and Bean Sprouts were fighting bloodily, Bean Sprouts cut five people in a row, and his face was already splashed with the enemy's blood, but he still didn't care about wiping it and continued to fight bravely to kill the enemy. Ma Long saw that Jike couldn't resist the raccoon dog on the side, so he hurriedly rushed over to help.

"Tanuki, eat me!" Just as Tanuki was about to attack Jike, Ma Long sneaked up from the other side. Tanuki hurriedly turned around to face Ma Long.

Soon, the difference in numbers between the two sides became apparent, and although each of them was ready to die in battle, the robbers were outnumbered, and they were outnumbered after all, and one by one they fell down, and then they were mercilessly stabbed a few times.
