"Isn't it unusual?" Xie Qin asked Old Man Zu suspiciously, "Old man, what do you mean by that?"

Old Man Zu was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, Tang Zhong interjected horizontally: "Ah, that, senior!" He said with a smile, "Actually, I also said this to Xie Qin just now, I said that I have long thought that he has a talent for martial arts, so I don't think it's strange, senior, you mean the same thing, right?"

When Old Man Zu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, I think so too!" He turned to Xie Qin and said, "Xie Qin, let me tell you the truth, in fact, when ordinary people reach your age, they are not suitable for martial arts, and even if they practice martial arts, it is difficult to make any great progress." And your growth in the past half a year has been beyond my expectations. ”

Xie Qin was also stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, what kind of day is this? Why is everyone praising me? Moreover, it's a little strange to think about it now! The old man is just like this, after all, he has been teaching me all along, and watching me improve, but Brother Zhong has not practiced martial arts with me, how could he say this?

"Brother Zhong," Xie Qin said, "I wanted to ask before, have you seen me practice martial arts?"

"Huh?" Tang Zhong shook his head, "No, why are you asking that?"

"It's strange," Xie Qin said, "since you haven't seen it, how do you know that I have a talent for martial arts?"

Tang Zhong was stunned for a moment.

Xie Qin looked at him, and at this time, another suspicion appeared in his mind: the timing of Brother Zhong's speech just now, and the lines of his conversation with the old man...... Why does it sound like he is talking to the right lines? Or is it the kind of old man who forgot the lines, and Brother Zhong specially reminded him, and then the old man suddenly realized, his three "yes, yes, yes" completely gave people this feeling!

Well, how do you think about it, how do you feel strange, Xie Qin secretly thought in his heart, but this should be my delusion, right? Why did the old man and Tang Zhong talk to each other? This is unreasonable! Such a serious occasion!

Well...... Xie Qin shook his head secretly, maybe he just thought too much.

He was struggling, and Tang Zhong opened his mouth and said: "Although I haven't seen you practice martial arts, I have seen you make a move, this kind of thing, you can see it when you make a move." ”

"Shoot?" Xie Qin was stunned again when he heard this, and asked rhetorically, "Brother Zhong, haven't you seen me make a move?"

"Who said they hadn't seen it?" Tang Zhong waved his hand, "I said Xie Qin, I'm Miss's guard, do you think that when Miss was just transferred to Eighty-Four Middle School last year, you were in danger many times, and I was all fishing?"

"Eh......"

Xie Qinxin said that I don't know this problem, I didn't know you at all!

Tang Zhong said: "Let me tell you the truth, I was nearby at the time, as long as the young lady is in an unfavorable situation, I will immediately show up and help!" Speaking of this, he glanced at Old Man Zu.

Xie Qin didn't notice this detail, he was still pondering.

"But Brother Zhong," said Xie Qin, "wasn't your young lady already in a disadvantageous situation at that time, whether it was blocked and robbed by the thugs, or blocked in the ......alley by the thin monkey that time."

"That's true," Tang Zhong nodded, "And in fact, I was about to make a move, but you have resolved this unfavorable situation." ”

"Me?" Xie Qin was stunned when he heard this.

"Yes," Tang Zhong nodded again, "Didn't you clean up all those little gangsters?"

Hearing him say this, Xie Qin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, if you want to say that it is okay to settle the roadblock robbery, that guy is stupid, but the thin monkey gang, to be honest, I was the one who was in a disadvantageous situation at that time! If it weren't for Tang Ruoruo's classmate's action, I would have been jujube cake!

Xie Qin only said that Tang Zhong was taking care of his own face, so he hid this story and didn't think much about it.

Tang Zhong said: "All in all, I was watching in secret at the time, when I felt that your skills were a little weaker than those of the same age, but then I knew that you only started practicing martial arts a few months ago, to be honest, you have already performed extraordinarily." ”

"Huh?!"

Although I heard everyone say that he had a talent for martial arts just now, but now that he heard Tang Zhong say this, Xie Qin still felt a little incredulous.

"Is this so powerful?"

His tongue was knotted with excitement.

"Nope. Tang Zhong shook his head.

"Huh?" Sechin froze on the spot.

Tang Zhong said: "Strictly speaking, the gap between you and people of the same age is too big, for example, you are far from you. ”

Xie Qin lowered his shoulders at that time, and said in his heart, "You are too demanding to compare me with Fuji, right? With Wang Chongzhang, the maniac demon of the Wang family, ah, it's not about fame, it's about skill! How can I compare with them!

At this time, Tang Zhong said again: "However, compared to ordinary people of the same age, you are already quite good, so I think you have the talent to practice martial arts." ”

"I think so too," Qi Buji said, "We practice martial arts together every day, and I can always see his progress." ”

"This ......"

Hearing that everyone began to praise themselves, Xie Qin was a little embarrassed.

Tang Zhong said again: "So when I heard you say just now that you can still wake up in the misty incense, I feel that you may have this kind of physique." ”

"Well, then, it's a possibility. Old man Zu bowed.

Xie Qin looked at him, listening to the tone of your voice, why did it seem that you only accepted this setting now, didn't you already agree with it just now?

"I think so, too. Zu Yuji echoed.

"Me too. Qi Buji agreed.

Xie Qin looked at everyone and said okay, since you can accept this setting, then I will save trouble.

He coughed dryly and said to the crowd, "Let's get back to business." ”

Everyone nodded together and motioned for him to continue.

Xie Qin said: "When I woke up, there happened to be two elders coming in, I was silent, pretending to be still in a coma, eavesdropping on their conversations, only to know that the incense they used was high-end goods, and they came to put me in a woven bag and take it away, I listened to them chatter for a while, and there was no useful information, so I waited patiently for them to move me, and then I knocked one unconscious, interrogated one, and it happened that person was last night's spy, from his mouth, I knew the situation last night." ”

"I see......" Old Man Zu bowed slightly.

"Pack us up and take us away......," Zu Yuji thought to herself, "I don't know where to take us." ”

"It's not going to be a good place anyway," said Sechin, "and we messed up that crossbow's plot last night, and he must have wanted to get us to a lesser-known place and kill us all." ”

"They don't know who we are, do they?" asked Tang Zhong.

"What do you say?" said Sechin rhetorically, "that spy has heard our conversation from beginning to end. ”

"This ......"

Tang Zhong was speechless for a while, and fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking.

“...... We didn't mention Zimingtang last night, right?"

He asked the crowd, in a vague tone.

In matters involving Zimingtang, the loyal brother who has always been vigorous and resolute will also be like this, Xie Qin thought to himself, this may be just a matter of care, right?

However, he couldn't remember the conversation at the construction site last night, it stands to reason that he should only mention Tang Ruoruo's classmates, and there was no need to mention Zimingtang, but Xie Qin couldn't be sure that everyone must not have said it.

So he shook his head and said to Tang Zhong, "I don't know either. ”

"...... like this," Tang Zhong was a little stunned.

At this time, Old Man Zu said: "Regardless of whether Zhang Crossbow knows about the existence of Zimingtang, what is certain now is that he doesn't know our respective identities, and I don't know if that spy has seen anything wrong, he may or may not see it, but no matter what, Zhang Crossbow will not directly kill us, the most likely situation is to arrest us and torture us in the past." ”

"Hmm. Xie Qin nodded, he felt that the old man's words were very reasonable.

"But where are you going to take it?" asked Zu Yuji.

"What's this......" Xie Qin spread his hands, "This is going to ask the people of the Elders' Association, I definitely don't know." ”

"Brother Lingsheng, aren't you the one who tortures the Elders' Association?" Zu Yuji asked, "You didn't ask about this?"

When Xie Qin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Uh, there's no need to ask this, right?"

"How could it be unnecessary?" said Zu Yuji, "knowing where they have arranged men, we can launch a surprise attack, and kill their spirit." ”

"This ...... What's the point?" asked Sechin.

Zu Yuji thought for a while and responded, "...... It doesn't seem to make much sense other than to relieve qi. ”

Xie Qin couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.

"What's the use of relieving anger, this operation is completely thankless, even if we know where they want to take us, we are outnumbered, even if it is a surprise attack, there is a great risk, right?"

Old Man Zu bowed his head and said, "Xie Qin is right, this action is very risky, but it is completely meaningless, and there is one more point, you should not forget. ”

"What?" Xie Qin and Zu Yuji asked in unison.

"It's possible that the Elder Guild will know that we are from the Zimingtang," Old Man Zu said, "If they really know, then we will be able to give Zhang Xuan the truth when we launch a surprise attack." ”

"What do you mean by that?" asked Sechin.

"Zimingtang is part of the Tang Sect. Old man Zu said.

"So what?" Xie Qin asked, "The Nine Poisons Hall is also a part of the Tang Sect, but if the Elder Brothers start a war, it will only start a unilateral war with the Nine Poison Hall, and it can't pull the entire Tang Sect together?"

Old Man Zu shook his head: "This is just wishful thinking on our side, whether the elder brother's side regards the Tang Sect as a whole or not, we don't know at all." ”
