"When will they start the attack?" Li Qi asked.

It was pitch black outside. Standing in the inn and looking outside, it seemed as if everyone around was asleep, except for the bright lights in the inn.

This was normal. After all, in ancient times, no one was as wealthy as Feng the shopkeeper, who could keep the lights on until midnight every night.

But Li Qi knew that no matter how dark it was outside today, there were still many people who could not sleep all night.

He sat at the door with a knife in his hand, looking at the stars above his head. The lights in the shopkeeper's room upstairs were turned off early today, which was different from the past.

The shopkeeper rarely went to bed at this time.

I don't know if the shopkeeper is still in the room now, but Li Qi didn't want to go up and take a look.

He looked at the stars in the sky, and he had already anticipated in his heart that if the shopkeeper really wanted to leave, no one could stop her.

So if he didn't want her to leave, there was only one way.

If a person like the shopkeeper wanted to do something, she must have her own reasons.

Li Qi always had a feeling in his heart that they might be able to keep the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper might not really abandon them and leave.

After all, the shopkeeper has always been a sentimental person.

She was willing to go to the Western Regions for Yun Shujun back then, so is she willing to stay for them now?

Feng Qing did go to bed early today.

It was not because she suddenly wanted to live a green and healthy life, but purely because she was thinking about making the most of the time to make the inflatable arch tomorrow morning, so she went to bed early.

Before going to bed, she chatted with her friend. For some reason, her friend suddenly told her the story of the owner of the Wuming Inn that Feng Qing had told her some time ago.

"There are thousands of handsome men in the world, why do you like that one?" Feng Qing was a little embarrassed.

When she didn't know that the owner of the Wuming Inn was herself, she thought it was quite normal to listen to her friend's talk, but once she knew the real identity of the owner, she always felt a little weird when she listened to her friend's talk.

"I just feel that if there is a great hero in the martial arts world, then the owner of the Nameless Inn completely meets the standard of a great hero in my mind." Feng Qing's friend said, "I always feel that this person's ending should be like a martial arts novel."

"...Hey, don't say that." Feng Qing said weakly, "There are a lot of martial arts novels these days."

She was very panicked when she heard such words.

For example, the hero and the heroine retired to the countryside, which can be regarded as the ending of a martial arts novel, or dominating the martial arts world, which can be regarded as an ending.

But the protagonist died tragically in the end, or there was a crazy plot, which can also be regarded as an ending. After all, before watching The Return of the Condor Heroes, no one would have thought that Guo Jing would die in such a way in the end.

"It doesn't matter. If there is any new progress, just tell me and I can write it in the newspaper." Feng Qing's friend said.

"New progress..." Feng Qing muttered, and fell asleep in a half-awake state.

In her dream, she didn't seem to sleep very peacefully, and she kept having nightmares about being hacked to death.

However, Feng Qing is not really a person who is desperate. Compared with ordinary people, she does have a unique quality.

That is, she is very middle school in her bones.

...There are two kinds of middle school people in this world.

One kind of middle school people is the middle school people who gave up after being beaten by the madness of life after growing up. They will slowly become like ordinary people and live ordinary lives. They are no longer like before, with their hearts filled with childish and unattainable dreams.

However, there is another kind of second-year student, who is still hopeless after being beaten by life.

I wonder what kind of person Feng Qing is?

...

Under the moonlight, the branches swayed slightly, as if someone broke the silence.

Li Qi, who was waiting at the door, suddenly stood up and looked into the distance.

In the night, two people came slowly.

His expression gradually became solemn, watching the faces of the two people in the moonlight becoming clearer and clearer.

"I'm here to find Feng Wuhen. Is she still there? Or has she fallen asleep?"

A crisp voice came from under the Dou Li hat. The person walking in front was wearing a long robe, which covered all the features on his body.

But just listening to her voice, one can imagine how much this woman is willing to sacrifice her country for the whole city.

Li Qi had already guessed the identity of this person. Even for him, the person in front of him was someone he had only heard of but never met.

The surroundings were still so quiet, but an invisible murderous aura spread.

The cold sweat on Li Qi's head dripped slowly, but the knife in his hand had never loosened.

How could this person suddenly appear here?

This situation caught Li Qi off guard, but it seemed reasonable.

He didn't expect...

the leader of the moment actually paid so much attention to the shopkeeper.

Now, the whole world is probably in an uproar.

But not many people could have guessed that the leader of the moment actually came to this place under the moonlight.

What she cares about most is not the people in the court who are gathering to attack her, nor the other sects who are waiting to get a piece of the pie, nor the various forces in the martial arts world who are ready to make a move. The

only thing she cares about now is a shopkeeper who is sleeping in an unknown inn in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Li Qi knows in her heart that in the heart of this leader, the biggest threat to her is probably the shopkeeper.

This is an invisible sense of oppression, and the other party's arrogance is obvious at a glance.

But even for such an arrogant person, she still indulges in what she is afraid of.

"I'm sorry, sir, we are closed tonight." Li Qi said, staring at the two people in front of him.

"If you want to come to the store, please come early tomorrow."

"Come early tomorrow?" The man laughed softly.

The man who looked like a woman also laughed. Li Qi heard the man turn around and say to his men, "You are really a young guy."

Li Guxing, who once dominated the world, was called a young guy. If it were someone else, they would probably be shocked, but Li Qi didn't dare to neglect it at all.

Because he knew that the man opposite was right.

"Every time I see young people like you, I always think of the past."

After laughing for a while, the man said as if he was sighing.

"I used to be very curious about one thing."

"Why does that person always have such ability?"

"She doesn't seem to have a good temper and doesn't smile often, but she can always get a group of people around her who have nothing to do with her to die for her."

The person's voice was laughing, but the tone always revealed a cold murderous aura.

This murderous aura, even a deaf person can feel it.

"How can I be someone who has nothing to do with her?" However, Li Qi was silent for a few seconds, but suddenly chuckled.

"It's right for the shopkeeper to find someone to die for her. After all, someone as cold as her is better than those who smile at people every day, appear gentle and respectful to the outside world, but secretly do many terrible things."

After he said this, the temperature seemed to drop by several degrees.

However, Li Qi just gently moved the knife in his hand, as if he was not affected at all.

He still looked at the other party with that slightly provocative look, and opposite him, the subordinate of the leader at that moment raised his eyebrows slightly at him.

Li Qi could see the three words "You are finished" in the other party's eyes.

Unexpectedly, the leader did not act immediately.

She just raised her head and looked at the second floor.

Li Qi frowned slightly.

The shining knife was right in front of her, but she looked as if nothing had happened, as if the ugly words he had just said were completely unacceptable to her.

There is no greater contempt for people than this.

"It seems that she did not leave today, she is here, and she is asleep." After a while, she said softly.

"She didn't plan to attack tonight." Someone beside him whispered.

"Sure enough." The leader smiled for a moment.

"She has always been a person who keeps her promises."

Li Qi was slightly surprised.

The man in front of him could actually hear the shopkeeper's breathing from such a distance. This was the first time he met someone with hearing as terrible as the shopkeeper.

A thought flashed through Li Qi's mind.

——Sure enough, he is worthy of being a genius of the same period as the shopkeeper. In this aspect, he is still far behind.

Li Qi knew that he might die here tonight, but he never took a step back from beginning to end.

Even though the person opposite was once the shopkeeper's best friend.

Even though the person opposite was the most powerful person in the world today.

As a swordsman, Li Qi was never afraid of death.

Moreover, there was something in the tone of the person in front of him that made him inexplicably unhappy.

She never looked at Li Qi directly from beginning to end, but just looked up at a room on the second floor, and looked down on them.

It was as if she had never worried that the shopkeeper would betray her. She believed that the shopkeeper's things belonged to her, and as long as she said a word, the shopkeeper would do his best for her.

Li Qi didn't know why, as long as he thought of this, he felt a fire burning in his heart.

He knew that if he took action, he would only die, but he couldn't control his anger.

The murderous aura in the air that belonged to Li Qi became heavier and heavier.

It seemed that everyone realized that the next second would be the time to take action.

The man next to the leader also looked serious. Although the leader didn't take Li Guxing's attack seriously, he couldn't be like the leader. He really wanted to see what Li Guxing would look like when he swung his sword with all his strength.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from upstairs.

"I wanted to have a good sleep in the inn tonight... but that doesn't mean some people can come and disturb me at will."

As soon as the words fell, the tense atmosphere in the inn suddenly stopped.

Li Qi had put away his sword at some point and stood aside obediently.

The leader also suddenly looked up at the second floor.
