The King's Return

Early the next morning, when Xiao Han woke up, Qin Mo was still asleep. He had to catch the morning flight to Beijing, so he didn't want to disturb Qin Mo, so he got out of bed lightly to wash up.Unexpectedly, as soon as he got out of bed, Qin Mo woke up, rubbed his eyes and asked, "What time is it?"

Xiao Han stroked Qin Mo's hair lightly, and said softly, "It's not until seven o'clock, you should sleep a little longer."

Qin Mo sat up: "I'll take you to the airport."

Xiao Han said: "No need, the four of us happened to take a taxi there. It will take half a day for you to go back and forth to the airport, so there is no need to be so troublesome."

Seeing Xiao Han's firm attitude, Qin Mo had no choice but to say: "Then be careful on the road." Xiao Han possessed himself, kissed Qin Mo's forehead lightly, and said, "I will miss you."

Qin Mo smiled: "Well, come on."

After a simple breakfast, Xiao Han went out with his suitcase. When he got downstairs, sisters Liu Hong and Liu Xiang were already waiting at the door, but Shen He hadn't come down yet.Just as Xiao Han was about to call him, he saw him hurrying down with his luggage.

Xiao Han waved at him: "Run quickly."

Shen He immediately sped up and ran over, and explained breathlessly: "Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I didn't bring a toothbrush, and I went back to get it halfway."

This guy is always in a daze and loses everything. Xiao Han didn't bother to blame him, and said, "It's okay, it's still early. I've made an appointment for a car, let's go."

The four of them drove to the airport together. It was already lunch time when they arrived in Beijing. When they got off the plane and turned on their mobile phones, a message popped up. It was from Qin Mo: "Have you arrived yet?"

The corners of Xiao Han's lips raised slightly, and he immediately replied: "Arrived safely."

Qin Mo replied: "Well, take a good rest after arriving at the hotel, and I will watch the live broadcast of tomorrow's game to cheer you on."

Xiao Han put away his mobile phone and was walking forward when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him: "Han Shen."

Looking back, it was Nie Yuzhu, the captain of the Lihuo team, who had just come out of the airport and was waiting for the bus with a suitcase.He is currently the oldest player in the Dubu League, and he has been the captain for the longest time. He has a calm and introverted temperament, and he gives people a very reliable feeling at first glance.

Followed by him are the members of the Lihuo team.Because Lihuo had reported two groups of players for this group arena, including the team leader, there were seven people in total.

Xiao Han smiled and said, "Team Nie, have you just arrived at the airport? What a coincidence."

Nie Yuzhu said: "Yes, the flight time is about the same."

When he looked at Liu Hong, he paused for a moment, nodded his head and greeted him, and Liu Hong asked, "Team Nie."

Back then when he was playing in the professional martial arts league, Liu Hong and Nie Yuzhu, who were the vice-team of Guose, had played against Nie Yuzhu a lot, and lost most of the games to the opponent. For this calm and taciturn man, Liu Hong had always been jealous. Every game has to rack their brains to deal with him.

Fortunately, Mo Jue now has Qin Mo and Xiao Han, so he doesn't have to worry about tactics by himself, and Liu Hong doesn't feel as stressed as before when he sees him.

Nie Yuzhu asked casually, "Did Qin Mo come to Beijing?"

Xiao Han said: "He is resting at home, and I will lead the team this time."

Nie Yuzhu was a little surprised: "I thought that even if he didn't sign up, he would come to Beijing with you. So he was resting in Changsha?"

Naturally, Xiao Han couldn't reveal Qin Mo's hand injury, so he made an excuse and said, "He's been too tired these days, I want him to recharge his energy and prepare for the second half of the year's competition."

Nie Yuzhu said: "Qin Mo is really happy to have such a caring deputy captain like you." He turned his head and glanced at Jingyang.

Jingyang is Lihuo's vice-team. He is only 16 years old this year. He looks very young, with bright eyes.After being seen by Dui Nie, Jingyang immediately smiled and said: "Hey, Dui Nie, you can't compare me to Hanshen. I'm still a young sapling just planted in the soil, and I want to grow into a big tree like Hanshen. It also takes time!"

Nie Yuzhu said lightly: "Then grow it quickly."

Jingyang nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Got it!"

The applauded chartered car came, and Nie Yuzhu said goodbye to Xiao Han, and took the team members away by car.

On the way back to the hotel, Shen He couldn't help asking: "Is Team Nie really as strong as Sister Hong said?"

Liu Hong said: "He is the direct apprentice of Tongque's first captain, Shao Zehang. Among the new generation of players in the Wulin League, his comprehensive strength is the strongest. He didn't make it to the semi-finals in the doubles competition. It's dragging its feet. Jingyang, a player...how does Hanshen think?"

Xiao Han thought for a while, and said: "Xiaomo said, Jingyang's hand speed is similar to mine, but he hasn't fully utilized his potential. Sometimes, the operation of speed will mess up, which is a common problem for newcomers. Nie Yuzhu is cultivating him carefully, he has a lot of room for improvement, and his potential is currently the biggest among all the young players in the league."

Shen He continued: "Fortunately, Team Nie is not in the same group as us. Tongque's No. [-] seed team is the combination of Nie Yuzhu, Jingyang and Zhou Yanbing. Lihuo's iron triangle melee, all of them have first-class output, which is too bad. beated."

Xiao Han said: "Well, Lihuo is in Group D, and we won't meet us before the top four. Xiaomo said that Sang Jun's strength in Group A is not inferior to Nie Yuzhu, and we must prepare well."

Liu Xiang smiled and said, "Han Shen really talks about Team Qin all the time."

Xiao Han noticed this, and couldn't help raising the corners of his lips slightly, and said, "He's not analyzing by the side, suddenly he's not used to it."

Accustomed to Qin Mo's calm and serious analysis of the players in each major team, Xiao Han found that he had learned his way after they separated, probably because of the mutual influence.

Xiao Han changed the subject and said: "After returning to the hotel, everyone will rest for two hours first. When the game is scheduled for the afternoon, we will discuss how to play tomorrow."

***

In the afternoon, the league sent the game schedule to the leaders of the major teams, and Liu Xiang also immediately sent a screenshot of the electronic version of the schedule to the Mojue team group.

There are only four groups in this group arena competition. In order for the players to have a good rest, the competition is arranged in the afternoon.

Mo Jue's first opponent in the group stage was the superstar combination of Sang Jun, Wen Hua, and Lin Yao from the Dynasty team. Yuqing No. [-] seed team.

As soon as the form was sent to the group, Qin Mo popped up and said, "Tomorrow's game will be directly against Sang Jun and the others?"

Xiao Han said helplessly: "At the beginning of the game, we will directly fight the strongest opponent in the group. This arrangement is not good, and we will practice again in the afternoon."

Qin Mo said: "Well, pay attention to rest and show your strength."

Xiao Han called Shen He and Liu Hong together, and went to an Internet cafe near the hotel to open a small black room for tactical arrangements.

Among the three members of Dynasty, Sang Jun and Wen Hua are melee fighters, and Lin Yao is a long-range poison master. In terms of personal strength alone, it is not difficult for Xiao Han to kill Sang Jun alone, but it is not difficult for Shen He and Liu Hong to kill Lin Yao alone. Very big——Lin Yao was the strongest dark horse in the individual competition, and even killed the captain of the dynasty during the civil war, Chu Jianxin, who has the strongest ability to withstand pressure.

Since changing the project, Lin Yao has changed from an unknown little transparent to a dazzling star. He combined the poison attack style with the long-range kite tactics of the archer on the side of the miracle, and figured out a set of wretched The kite tactic of poisonous attack is the nemesis of many melee combat.

Xiao Han knew very well that as a whole, the Dynasty team had the strength to win the championship. If Mo Jue wanted to win, he had to work hard from the order of the ring.

***

At 02:30 in the afternoon of the next day, the contestants who participated in the group arena came to the venue collectively.

Ye Chao first gave a brief explanation of the competition system of the arena: "The KOF arena is very similar to a relay race in a sports meeting. The three players on both sides alternately fight rounds, and the side that can stand at the end wins. In the first two rounds, the home team has the right to choose the map. The away team has the right to adjust the players; in the final game, the two sides submit the order of appearance without knowing the list of opponents, and the map of the final game is fixed at Mingzhou Square.”

Liang Ru said: "Individual competitions and double competitions have too much home court advantage, but in the group arena, although the home court still maintains an advantage on the map, due to the priority of sending players, the players are easily targeted by the opponent."

Ye Chao said: "The first match in the afternoon is Dynasty VS Mo Jue in Group A. Both Dynasty and Mo Jue only selected one team for this group arena match. What puzzled many viewers was that Mo Jue's captain Qin Mo , Captain Chu Jianxin did not even participate in the group arena."

Liang Ru said: "Yes, there is another coincidence between the two sides on this point."

Ye Chao said: "Maybe the two captains need to rest...Okay, the game will start soon, let's focus on the big stage!"

The contestants from both sides have already stepped onto the big stage. After shaking hands with each other, they went to the soundproof room to adjust the equipment.

Xiao Han and Sang Jun draw lots respectively, Xiao Han draws first and chooses the map first.

He chose the trap map. This map is obviously more beneficial to Liu Hong, and the first player Mo Jue sent was Liu Hong.

However, after Mo Jue submitted the map and players, Dynasty sent Lin Yao decisively.

Qin Mo was watching the live broadcast, and couldn't help but frowned slightly when he saw this - Sang Jun's move was really powerful, and Lin Yao's long-range poisonous attack on Liu Hong's trap had a great advantage. Suppressing Shen He into residual blood and handing it over to the second player Wen Hua to solve it. In the end, leaving Sang Jun with a big advantage against Xiao Han, Dynasty's winning rate will be very high.

Sure enough, in the first stage, after Lin Yao faced Liu Hong, he adopted the dirty tactics of stacking poisons around the position and running away to delay the time. He first used the advantage of the long attack distance to stack the poisoned state on Liu Hong, and immediately used light kung fu before Liu Hong counterattacked. Running, with the passage of time, the small gap at the beginning became bigger and bigger due to the snowball effect, and Liu Hong suddenly felt powerless to punch the cotton with his fist.

Lin Yao killed Liu Hong at 35% HP, faced Shen He, and handed over the ring to his teammate Wen Hua after gaining some advantage.When Wen Hua killed Shen He, his blood volume was around 40%. Xiao Han was delayed for a while, and finally Sang Jun took the stage to defend the ring and successfully won the game.

In this round, Mo Jue fell into a huge disadvantage in the early stage, and Xiao Han was powerless to recover by himself.

In the next second game, Sang Jun chose the water battle map that was easier to delay the game at home, and the first player sent was still Lin Yao.

If Mo Jue continued to send Liu Hong against Lin Yao, then the second round would only be a replica of the first round.

Naturally, Xiao Han would not repeat the same mistakes, he simply went to fight Lin Yao himself, and finally left it to Liu Hong to guard the ring.

With Xiao Han, the ace player, he had a great advantage in the early stage of the ring, but Wen Hua, who was the opponent's second player, regained his disadvantage. In the end, Sang Jun with 80% HP vs. Liu Hong with full HP, Liu Hong broke out with the highest hand speed, and dropped Sang Jun with a set of explosive seconds in a thrilling manner.

The two sides drew 1:1, the decisive game is a square map, both sides need to submit the list at the same time, the order of Dynasty is Lin Yao, Wen Hua, Sang Jun, against Shang Mo Jue Liu Hong, Shen He, Xiao Han, Mo Jue team again Falling into a downturn in the early stage, Xiao Han was unable to recover the situation in the end, and lost the first group arena match 1:2.

Seeing the gray word "Failure" pop up on the screen, both Liu Hong and Shen He felt a little guilty.

Xiao Han patted the shoulders of the two of them lightly, and encouraged him: "It's okay, just treat the first match as an experiment."

Although Xiao Han was very calm, the fans couldn't keep calm. Many people swiped the screen saying that Shen He was slowing down, and some people questioned Liu Hong's level. Mo", "Xiao Han is far worse than Mo Shen, and Mo Jue is not there, Mo Jue really can't" such mocking words.

When Xiao Han saw these comments, he was not angry at all, but found it funny.

I still remember that when Qin Mo first returned, many people said that "Qin Mo is not qualified to be called a twin star with Xiao Han" and "Qin Mo came back through Xiao Han's connections". Qin Mo".

The reason why such statements appear on the Internet also proves that Qin Mo's strength has been recognized by everyone.

After returning to the backstage, Shen He hung his head sullenly, a message popped up on his phone, it was actually another red envelope from Li Muran...

Looking at the familiar 100 yuan red envelope, Shen He didn't feel better as before, but felt a little sad: "Brother Ran, you sent me another red envelope to comfort me, but I can't be happy."

In the past, winning or losing the individual competition was his own problem, of course Shen He didn't care too much about it.Even if they lose in the doubles match, it doesn't matter too much, because he and Li Muran are both rookies, as long as they can gain some experience from the competition, that's enough.

However, there is Hanshen in the ring, and many people will scold Xiao Han after losing. Shen He doesn't like to be a dragger, but it turns out that today's game is because he is slowing down, so Hanshen has to face the 1V2 situation of defending the ring .

The feeling of guilt can no longer be adjusted by receiving red envelopes.

Finding that Shen He didn't accept the red envelope, Li Muran knew that this guy was still sad, so he couldn't help comforting him: "Don't think too much, Hanshen won't blame you."

Shen He said with a bitter face: "It would be great if the master was here, and I will definitely be able to reverse all the disadvantages."

Li Muran said: "You still don't understand the reason why Team Qin didn't go to the arena and asked you to follow Hanshen?"

Shen He said: "I know, Master wants me to have more experience playing against masters."

Li Muran said: "Then do you have more experience?"

Shen He was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Of course, I have fought with Wen Hua and Sang Jun today. Sang Jun's assassin is really strong. I think he is similar to Hanshen."

Li Muran said: "Under what circumstances did you meet Sang Jun?"

Shen He said: "When I faced him in the second round, I only had about 30% of my HP, and Sang Jun was full of HP."

Li Muran: "Carefully recall how he killed you."

Shen He recalled for a moment, and said: "He only used the Changhong Guanri skill with the shortest cooling time and the least mana consumption, and repeatedly moved to interrupt the reading. It's exhausted."

Li Muran: "You haven't done well enough for the most critical connection in the arena."

Seeing this sentence, Shen He suddenly realized: "That's right! Sang Jun entered the ring stage in order to be in the best state, so he saved his skills and killed me with the least consumption! I am a player in the middle of the transition. In fact, I only need consumption Do my best to hit the maximum damage and pave the way for the teammates behind. I thought too much today, worried that I would not be able to kill the second person, and I could not let go of my hands and feet. When necessary, I can actually force the opponent's big move , let the teammates behind play easier."

Li Muran said: "Well, Team Qin asked you to fight in the ring to strengthen your overall view."

He sent out the red envelope that Shen He hadn't opened again, and said, "Accept it, I wish you two consecutive victories in advance."

Shen He's mood finally improved, and he happily accepted the comforting red envelope sent by the other party, and said, "Brother Ran, I found that your words seem to be gradually increasing!"

Li Muran: "Really?"

Shen He sent a row of thumbs up emoji: "This serious analysis looks more and more like my master!"

Li Muran explained: "Moshen always asks me to do my homework recently, and I can't help but want to analyze it."

Seeing his direct answer, Shen He couldn't help smiling and said, "Consolation me if I lose, encourage me if I win, you are simply a good teammate in China. Thank you Brother Ran!"

The corners of Li Muran's tight lips raised slightly—is China a good teammate?

But this good teammate only encourages you alone.Probably because you have special weight in his heart.

***

After returning to the hotel that night, Xiao Han turned on his phone and just received a message from Qin Mo: "Concentrate on playing the game and leave other things to me."

Xiao Han always felt that Qin Mo's words had overtones. When he checked Weibo, he saw that a Weibo was forwarded to the homepage.

It was Qin Mo's long Weibo: "I don't like to explain, but there are too many people who ask in private messages, so I stand up and answer. I don't participate in the group arena. It's not because I quarreled with Xiao Han. On the contrary, it's because I've been too tired recently, The state is not good, Xiao Han took the responsibility of the group arena very considerately, and let me rest for a while. Mo Jue won the championship in both the individual competition and the double competition. I understand that everyone has very high expectations for Mo Jue However, the players of Mo Jue also need to grow up. It is impossible to win all the way to the end, and it is normal to lose a few games. If you have any grievances, you can come to my side to scold, and don’t point all the blame at Xiao Han. In my heart, Xiao Han has always been a responsible, responsible, and capable excellent player. It is my honor for him to serve as the vice-captain of Mo Jue to assist me. Please don't say "Xiao Han is not as good as Qin Mo" to provoke our relationship. My trust and respect for him will never change."

Xiao Han: "..."

As soon as this Weibo was posted, the number of retweets rose like a rocket, and a group of fans screamed excitedly in the comments——

"Moshen, you really love Hanshen!" "Is this a tactful confession?" "Momo is really protecting his weaknesses. After Xiao Han was said a few words, you jumped out to post such a long testimonial. You were scolded yourself. You didn’t say a word when you were talking!” “Who dares to scold Xiao Han? Captain Qin threw the long sword in his hand, and everyone died.” “Understood, you will never change to him.” “There should be wedding candy here!”

The fans were booing, Xiao Han really didn't know what to say when he saw this long section of Weibo.

Qin Mo really protects the weak to the extreme. He can endure being scolded bloody, but he can't bear Xiao Han being scolded.This is his personality, as long as he cares about people, he will do his best to protect them.

Xiao Han smiled and sent him a WeChat message: "You protect me so much, I suddenly feel so happy [kiss]"

Qin Mo explained: "After losing the game this afternoon, there were too many people scolding you on Weibo, and some people even conspired that I didn't participate in the group arena because I had a disagreement with you, and many fans asked me why I didn't participate , as the captain, I think I should stand up and say a few words."

Xiao Han replied bluntly: "Don't make excuses, in fact, you just love me. I'm upset that I was scolded by others, and I want to stand up to defend my boyfriend."

Qin Mo: "..."

Xiao Han sent a row of kissing emojis: "I love you."

Qin Mo was a little helpless, Xiao Han saw through the thoughts hidden in his heart at a glance.

After Mo Jue lost the game in the afternoon, Qin Mo's Weibo was flooded by fans' messages. Seeing those suspicious and provocative comments being pushed up again and again, and seeing a lot of questions in private messages, Qin Mo, who has always been calm, couldn't bear it anymore. Standing up——Xiao Han was considerate of his injury, and didn't want him to play three events in a row, so he resolutely let him stay in Changsha to rest. Xiao Han like this should not bear those unwarranted infamy.

No matter from the captain's point of view or from the lover's point of view, Qin Mo didn't want Xiao Han to face these criticisms alone.

It's just that Qin Mo didn't expect that after his Weibo was posted, the trend of the comments would change immediately, especially the sentence "You are true love for him", which received thousands of comments.

Is it so...obvious?

Qin Mo carefully read the Weibo that he just posted, and thought that what he said was in line with the position of a captain. Why would the masses sniff out "true love"?

Probably because fans are more on Gemini CP. It is said that there are people who write Gemini fanart. Qin Mo usually does not pay attention to these things, but Shen He checks Weibo every day when he is idle and bored, and he will tell these things to others. Qin Mo listened.

At this moment, a message suddenly appeared in the Dubu Jianghu WeChat group——

Xie Changming: "@Qin Mo, Moshen, stop diving soon, that sincere confession on Weibo really moved me to tears!"

Lin Shuangcheng was still out of the situation, and couldn't help asking: "What confession?"

Xie Changming posted a screenshot of Weibo to the group: "Didn't Team Lin see Moshen's public statement?"

Lin Shuangcheng read it again, and sent a row of shocked expressions: "@Qin Mo didn't expect you to be such a Qin Mo, and you actually confessed to Hanshen publicly! There should be applause here."

Sang Jun: "@初建新, come and see how other people's captains maintain their sub-teams."

Chu Jianxin: "Sangsang, don't be jealous, other people's captain and vice-captain are true love, our captain and vice-captain are just good friends who love to bicker."

Sang Jun: "That's right, true love is different."

Su Cheng smiled and said: "I have a hunch that after the end of the first season, we can collectively eat Gemini's wedding candy."

Qin Mo: "..."

It's better not to argue with this group of people, or it will only get darker and darker.

In fact, Qin Mo said this from the captain's point of view, and if it wasn't because he and Xiao Han had such a good relationship, the masses would not think it wrong.It was precisely because the two of them were too close and tacit understanding before that Qin Mo stood up to defend Xiao Han, which made everyone joke without hesitation.

Seeing that the jokes in the group were getting bigger and bigger, Xiao Han had no choice but to stand up and say: "Okay, okay, let's go, I will send you a red envelope to grab."

Xiao Han immediately blocked everyone's mouths with several big red envelopes in a row, and the group began to thank God Han for his gift, and everyone cleverly bypassed this topic.

Waiting for the boring masters to start discussing the latest hit TV series, Xiao Han then closed the group, chatting with Qin Mo in private: "Don't pay attention to them, they are just joking, there are not many people who can be sure that we are together. "

Qin Mo said: "Well, go to bed early and work hard tomorrow."

Xiao Han: "Baby good night [kiss]"

Qin Mo: "Don't call me that."

Xiao Han immediately changed his words: "Yes, good night, Team Qin."

Qin Mo smiled slightly: "Have a good dream."

***

Of course, there will be Qin Mo in the good dream. When Xiao Han woke up the next day, he felt refreshed, and Shen He, who lived in the double room, could also feel that Han Shen was in a very good mood.

After having breakfast, the three of them went to the Internet cafe to train for a few hours. Xiao Han personally corrected some of Shen He's minor problems and made good arrangements for the game.

In the afternoon, the group stage of Group A started on time. Mo Jue’s players seemed to be pumped out. Liu Hong played steadily, Shen He performed well, and Xiao Han even killed his opponent in seconds with a huge 80% HP. The advantage won two games in a row.

Looking at the 2:0 score on the screen, Ye Chao couldn't help but said: "It is said that Team Qin posted on Weibo yesterday to support Hanshen. With the addition of Qin Mo's maintenance buff, Hanshen is really handsome today."

Liang Ru said: "That's right, Hanshen killed the opponent's half-blood player in one go, it's really too strong!"

Ye Chao said: "This is... cough, the power of friendship?"

Liang Ru smiled and said, "The friendship between Gemini is really touching."

Qin Mo couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he heard this——Friendship?

The jokes of the masses are correct. In fact, this is not friendship, but true love.
