Huang Shu and his team were taken to the 'Penglai' inn in the east of the city. This small inn has been chartered by Ma Shiying to receive his guests.

The proprietress of the inn is a woman in her thirties, surnamed Xu and named Hongniang. This Xu Hongniang, who was originally a courtesan on the Qinhuai River, was bought ashore by Ma Shiying after being passed by, and opened this small inn for her.

Xu Hongniang, who was born as a courtesan, knew very well what Ma Shiying had arranged for her - it was just that Ma Shiying wanted to use her beauty to let her eavesdrop on some unfavorable news in this small inn.

There is also a nearly fifty-year-old worker in the inn, named Wang Ke, who turned out to be the matchmaker's violinist, and after the matchmaker went ashore, she also brought him up and did a job of serving tea and pouring water. Wang Ke is very flexible, and often uses his original connections to help guests introduce some girls on the Qinhuai River to accompany him, so he is naturally very popular.

Today, Huang Shu and his team came in anger, but under the arrangement of the matchmaker and Wang Ke, their anger had already disappeared, and they forgot their original intentions.

After the wine and food were full, and the singing and dancing had subsided, the group of people each carried their girl back to the room, leaving only two soldiers who were still sober, and sat in the hall to keep vigil.

In fact, the matchmaker has already been informed by Ma Shiying, and she will come to pick up someone tonight. She made sure that everyone was in the store and that no one could go out.

"Are all the people there?" Seeing that the sky was almost up, the matchmaker closed the door of the store and called Wang Ke.

"Don't worry, boss, they're all sleeping, I've arranged a girl for each of them, and they're willing to go out." Wang Ke came up with a cheap smile on his face.

"Okay, wait a minute, Lord Ma is here, and there will naturally be a reward."

"Matchmaker, I'll have to rely on you to take care of me in the future." Wang Ke said as he stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the matchmaker's little hand on the counter.

"You old thing, it's not enough to eat those girls' tofu, you even want to eat the old lady's tofu." The matchmaker used the handkerchief of her right hand to throw it on Wang Ke's outstretched hand, but she did not retract the hand that was grabbed by Wang Ke.

finally grabbed the matchmaker's hand, and Wang Ke was preparing to take further action.

There was a knock on the door, and black shadows began to appear on the roofs on all sides.

"Don't open the door yet." The matchmaker's apricot eyes widened, and Wang Ke obediently let go of her hand.

As soon as the door opened, several Jinyi guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives on their waists rushed in, and behind them, followed by Shi Ma Jixiang, the commander of the Jinyi guards. This Ma Jixiang is a hereditary brocade guard, and Wen Taowu is average, but because he is good at sycophancy, he and Ma Shiying are familiar at first sight, which can be described as similar smells, and they don't let each other go.

"The history of the horse conductor is really getting more and more handsome and extraordinary." The matchmaker hurriedly greeted her.

"Are all the people still there?" Ma Jixiang knows the relationship between the matchmaker and Ma Shiying, although he is disdainful, but he always has to give face.

"It's all on the east side of the second floor."

"Alright, open the door and let the brothers in." As soon as the door opened, it was brightly lit outside, and there were at least hundreds of people.

"Such a big formation, Commander Ma, you have to be careful with my family." With so many brocade guards coming at once, the matchmaker began to worry about whether her shop could still be saved.

"Boss, why is it so noisy outside?" The two soldiers in the hall, who were in a daze, were awakened by the sound and staggered to their feet.

"Oh, there's a guest coming in."

"Who wants to stay in the hotel? Didn't I tell you that our General Huang chartered your shop? ”

Before the matchmaker could finish her words, a drunken-eyed soldier poked his head out of the hall.

Before the soldier's word for Wei could be spoken, Ma Jixiang rushed up with a brisk step, his hand raised and fell, and the blood on his neck spurted out directly. A head with an open mouth and wide eyes fell directly to the ground.

"Jinyi Wei listens to the order, except for Huang Shu, the rest are not left." Ma Jixiang raised the embroidered spring knife that was still dripping blood and gave an order.

"Kill," a wail rang out in the hall as another soldier saw his companion fall. However, before he could see who had done it, he had already been shot through the throat by a cloud-piercing arrow that flew down from the roof.

The violent sound on the floor alarmed the other people in the room, and Huang Shu rushed out with a long sword. As soon as he came out of the door, before he could see the situation clearly, he was greeted by a knife light, and he came straight to his front door.

Huang Shu is also a battle-hardened person, his head was lowered, he dodged a knife, and then he looked at the aisle and the hall, which was already full of brocade guards, and several of his brothers were already dead on the spot.

"Ma Shiying, you dog thief, you actually used a delaying tactic with Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu fought with you."

Huang Shu roared angrily as he swung his long sword to block left and right. After him, several sergeants rushed out of the other rooms, but the others who did not come out had already been killed in the bed.

"General Huang, you go quickly, he will avenge us in the future." Finally, Huang Shu and his sergeant got together, and there were only five people left. They could only fend back to back, fending off the swarming brocade guards as they slowly moved towards the staircase.

Ma Jixiang was not in a hurry at all, he found a chair, sat in the hall, and watched his brothers and opponents fall one by one, he has seen a lot of this kind of scene, not to mention that this time, he has already won the game.

The matchmaker and Wang Ke had already hid in the counter to avoid being contaminated with blood.

"Boss, why is there such a big fuss this time? Why didn't Master Ma say hello first? ”

"Yes, this one who killed a thousand knives is going to demolish my inn."

The matchmaker stretched out her head as she spoke, and glanced outside, there were only two soldiers left around Huang Shu, and the Jinyi Guard's offensive slowly slowed down.

"Huang Shu, if you don't tie your hands and catch it, you won't be able to escape today." Seeing that the battle was almost over, Ma Jixiang stood up.

"You embarrassed eunuch lackeys. Lao Tzu is dying in battle today, and he has to kill enough. ”

Huang Shu had already been stabbed twice, but he still waved the long sword in his hand, trying to desperately fight his way out.

"Huang Shu, why do you bother? Master Ma said, spare your life, why are you so persistent? ”

"Dog thief, Lao Tzu is dead today, and I will pull you down to the Yellow Spring together." Seeing that the last brother beside him also fell, Huang Shu couldn't hold back any longer, brandishing his long sword, ignoring the embroidered spring knife waving from all sides, and rushed straight towards Ma Jixiang.

Ma Jixiang didn't react for a while, he barely tilted his head in a hurry, there was a pain on his face, and a bloody wound came out directly.

"Commander Ma," the Jinyi guards saw that they were injured in the head, and they swarmed around, and Huang Shu was knocked off his long sword at once, and he fell to the ground, unable to move anymore.

"Don't kill him," Ma Jixiang wiped the blood from his face and shouted loudly.

"Bring it back to me, and see how I greet him." Ma Jixiang's face, because it was still bleeding, coupled with hysterical roars, the whole face became distorted, making people feel extremely terrible.
