Chapter 9 Stop struggling
Night came quietly, and the bright moon, which was not yet full, gradually rose into the sky. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew by, and a gray cloud gradually covered the moonlight.
As the New Year approaches, although there is no heavy snow in the sky, the coolness in the air still lingers.
Inside Tongfu Inn, there was a faint light on.
Bai Zhantang and others sat around the long table in the middle of the hall with serious expressions. The hands of Lu Qinghou and Li Dazui were still trembling slightly.
Don't get me wrong, they are not completely afraid, but they just did heavy work in the afternoon, and now their hands are a little sore.
In Fang Ru's plan, everyone in the inn took turns keeping vigil these nights, while he himself lay on the second floor of the inn to recharge his batteries.
It's not that he is lazy, it's just that he has the strongest combat power and must ensure his condition, that's it!
In order to deceive others, Fang Rui went back to another courtyard first, and then secretly ran back to Tongfu Inn. The route was specially designed by Bai Zhantang, and Ji Wuming would definitely not be able to find it with his ability.
But now it is obvious that everyone feels like there is a big stone weighing down their hearts, and they have no intention of falling asleep.
Logically speaking, although Bai Zhantang couldn't defeat Ji Wuming, he wouldn't be afraid of him, but he was born to be timid.
If he didn't have such a group of people worthy of his protection, Bai Zhantang would most likely have run away after hearing the words Ji Wuming.
Holding Tong Xiangyu's hand, Bai Zhantang said softly: "Don't worry, Xiangyu, with Xiao Fang and me here, there's nothing he can do even if Xiao Ji comes."
"Exhibition Hall~"
The two of them looked at each other affectionately, but it gave the rest of the group goosebumps.
"Eh~"
"Hey, you have all seen Ji Wuming, right? Is he as ferocious and green-faced as the rumors say?"
Anyway, he was idle, and Guo Furong curiously inquired about Ji Wuming's news.
Bai Zhantang replied smoothly: "Xiao Ji does look a bit fierce, but she doesn't have a green face and sharp teeth."
"Hey, Lao Bai, you know the God of Thieves, do you have any nickname in the world?"
Hearing Guo Furong's question, Bai Zhantang was shocked, and then he smiled guiltily and said, "No, I'm just an ordinary snitch who met Xiao Ji by chance."
"Then do you know the Saint of Thieves? There is a legend in the world that he robbed the rich and gave to the poor. He is also a thief. It must be true, right?"
"Um, I don't know about this."
Staying up late has vastly different tastes in different environments, with different people and things.
For example, when Fang Ru was in college in his previous life, it was common to stay up all night pushing towers. He would often go to bed after talking to a few roommates about winning a game, and his results would become famous overnight.
But for ancient people like Tong Xiangyu, it was normal for the sun to rise and set, and to rest at sunset. It was really uncomfortable to stay up late suddenly.
Mo Xiaobei, who was still a child after all, couldn't hold it any longer. He rubbed his eyes and yawned: "Haha~ Sister-in-law, I can't hold it anymore, so I'm going to sleep first."
"Go, go, it's not good for children to stay up late."
As soon as Mo Xiaobei left, it was like a chain reaction started. Everyone yawned. Lu Qinghou and Li Dazui said one after another that they would go to rest first and come back later to change shifts.
But when they stood up, their bodies suddenly softened and they fell directly to the ground. Guo Furong next to them was about to help them, but found that she could not use the strength and fell to the ground and fainted.
Seeing that Tong Xiangyu beside him was gradually losing consciousness, Bai Zhantang quickly held his breath and secretly exercised his power, trying to get rid of this feeling of powerlessness.
"Stop struggling. This special soft tendon powder is colorless and odorless. Ordinary people will faint if they smell a little bit, and completely lose the ability to resist. Even you, you can't use your strength now."
There was a loud "bang", the door of the inn was kicked open, and the figure of the person who spoke appeared, it was Ji Wuming.
"I didn't expect it, Bai Zhantang. I'll come back to settle the score with you!"
Trying his best to fight against the feeling of weakness, Bai Zhantang frowned and said with a strong breath: "Xiao Ji, this is a matter between us and has nothing to do with them!"
"Hahaha, Bai Zhantang, I haven't seen you for so long, but you still like to be a bad guy."
Ji Wuming laughed wildly for a few times, then suddenly stopped and said sternly: "Don't worry, none of them can escape!"
"Ta, ta."
"At least you still have some brains, you know how to sneak attack in the middle of the night, and you know how to drug me."
Seeing that Ji Wuming was about to kill him, Fang Rui, who was woken up from sleeping on the second floor, slowly walked out, rolled his eyes at Bai Zhantang, and said in a deep voice:
"But then again, if you are too stupid, it will be boring for me to win."
On the surface, they appear as calm as an old dog, but in reality they are panicked on the inside.
Fang Ru slept so comfortably that if Ji Wuming hadn't fallen ill and had to laugh a few times, he would still be counting his money in his dream.
Fang Ru almost destroyed his sign and lost several lives in vain. How could he not panic?
After calming down a little, Fang Ji glared at Bai Zhantang again, the meaning in his eyes was obvious,
"We promised that we could at least fight Ji Wuming for hundreds of rounds and make some noise, but why did you kneel down as soon as they made a move!"
In response, Bai Zhantang could only smile bitterly.
Who would have known that Ji Wuming had upgraded his equipment after escaping. In the past, they just used Mongolian sweat medicine. It was cheap, easy to use, and enough to satisfy them. Whoever used it would know!
For this reason, Bai Zhantang checked it several times before dinner, fearing that something might be wrong, but he immediately changed the situation.
Good guy, how can you still make money while sitting in jail?
"Are you the number one catcher of the Six Doors?"
Ji Wuming looked at the young man in front of him, his alertness rising to the extreme.
With such a great reputation, Wu Xishi can at least be ranked number one by Guo Juxia himself. He cannot be a parallel importer.
At least his Ruanjin San had no effect on him, so it was worth taking him seriously.
"Boom!"
"ah!"
Ji Wuming walked up expressionlessly, tied up Fang Ru who had fallen down the stairs, and threw it aside.
White (¬_¬) square ( ̄w ̄;)
The scene suddenly became awkward.
"Hmph, I thought he was a powerful character, but it turns out he's just a dumb kid."
With a disdainful spit, Ji Wuming turned his attention to Bai Zhantang again, all his luck gathered on his palms, and was about to take a picture of Bai Zhantang's Tianling Cap.
"Wait! Don't you want to know why Lao Bai rebelled?"
Although he was a little weak, Fang Ru was still able to scream.
The palm of his hand stopped in mid-air, and Bai Zhantang's hair was ruffled by the wind from the palm, and a drop of sweat flowed from his forehead.
Ji Wuming turned his head,
"What did you say?"
Seeing that Ji Wuming was really attracted to the idea, Fang Ru calmed down, cleared his throat, and started talking.
"Think about it, Lao Bai is the Saint of Thieves. Could it be that the reason why the Saint of Thieves takes action against the God of Thieves is to turn from darkness to light?"
"you mean..."
Narrowing his eyes, Ji Wuming thought for a moment, then looked at Bai Zhantang and said, "What treasure has he found that he wants to devour?"
"That's right!"
