Cao Cao generously lent Ma Xiaoquan a hundred elite soldiers, who were responsible for escorting the treasures for the Shangxian Lord.

It is not so practical, and Ma Xiaoquan can also see that this is Cao Cao showing favor to him, so Ma Xiaoquan did not shirk it, and acquiesced with a smile.

After saying goodbye to Cao Cao, Ma Xiaoquan ordered everyone to rest for a day, after all, with Cao Cao fighting for so long, it was a lie not to be tired.

These hundred elite soldiers were very grateful to Lord Shangxian, and some even expressed their attitude and followed Lord Shangxian when they escorted them back this time.

Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and refused: "Your honor and pride are on the battlefield, not in the family of this immortal, this immortal is an immortal, but you are a dignified hot-blooded man, men are ambitious in all directions, you are right to follow Xiao Cao"

The next day, we set off.

The group marched towards Xuchang in high spirits.

Passing by a village, Ma Xiaoquan and others were well treated.

After all, most of the territory has now been taken by Cao Cao, although it has not been properly rectified, but the common people are not stupid, plus Cao Cao clearly stipulates military discipline, therefore, the common people are still willing to accept a wise ruler.

During the meal, an old man stepped forward, looked at Ma Xiaoquan, and kept shaking his head.

Ma Xiaoquan was curious and asked the old man: "Old man, is there anything wrong?" ”

The old man shook his head and said uncertainly: "This master's purple hair must be an extraordinary person!" ”

As soon as the old man's words fell, Cao Cao's soldiers interjected: "That's, this is our Immortal Lord!" ”

The old man was shocked: "The old man has eyes and no beads, and he knocks to see the immortal." As he spoke, the old man wanted to kneel to Ma Xiaoquan.

Although Ma Xiaoquan prefers to see people in this era kneel in front of him and flatter him, but this is only limited to historical figures in this era, but for the unarmed people, Ma Xiaoquan has never taken advantage of them.

Ma Xiaoquan hugged the old man: "Old man, I can't help it, seeing that you are also old, you will be exempted from kneeling or something, we are also passing by here, and we don't want to cause you more trouble." Ma Xiaoquan said, and took out a large string of pearl chains from a treasure cart.

With a "click", Ma Xiaoquan pulled off the pearl chain, then collected all the pearls and stuffed them into the old man's hand: "Old man, this immortal sees that you are honest and is willing to believe you, so you send these pearls door to door, and then come to the fairy to ask for it." ”

The old man shook his hand and took the pearl, not knowing what to do.

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and instructed the two Cao Jun soldiers: "You escort the old man to send pearls, if anyone dares to rob it, whoever refuses to accept it, beat it until it is served!" ”

The two Cao soldiers nodded.

The old man looked at Ma Xiaoquan with red eyes, as if he wanted to cry, but Ma Xiaoquan hurriedly stopped: "Old man, go quickly!" ”

The old man flattened his mouth, as if he still had something to say, he thought for a while, and said: "Lord Shangxian is really a good person, he is not talented, he has done face-to-face work for two years, but the old man looks at Lord Shangxian, it seems that he is not a person here." ”

Ma Xiaoquan snorted: "That's true!" ”

The old man shook his head: "That's not what the old man said, the old man means that the immortal gives the feeling of the old man, not the person of this age."

Ma Xiaoquan understood the meaning of the old man, and at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as "era", so the old man could only use the years instead.

Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "The old man has good eyesight, but can the old man guess which year Ben Xian is?" ”

The old man thought for a moment and said, "Only back, not forward!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan was shocked, but on the surface, he still pretended to be light-hearted, nodded and said, "The old man is very good at thinking, hehe"

The old man blushed, coughed twice, and continued: "The old man doesn't mean anything else, the old man just wants to say that the Immortal Lord has a dark cloud on the top recently, and there should be some calamities soon." ”

As soon as the old man's voice fell, a Cao army soldier interjected: "Immortals will also encounter calamity?" ”

The old man nodded: "Immortals also obtained the Tao from human cultivation, and naturally there are calamities, but the calamities of immortals are immortal calamities!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "What this old man said is right, then this immortal wants to ask the old man, can you calculate the catastrophe of this immortal?" ”

The old man shook his head: "No, because the old man is a mortal, and the immortal is also an immortal!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan said helplessly: Hey, in fact, I am also a human being, but since the old man said so, something will definitely happen, I would rather believe it than not, okay, let me believe you.

After thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan took out a few more strings of money and threw them to the old man: "Take it, live a good life!" ”

The old man was holding pearls in both hands, and he couldn't take a lot of money, so he had to ask the two Cao soldiers beside him for help.

The two Cao soldiers readily agreed.

When the old man walked away, several Cao soldiers surrounded him and began to talk about it.

"A few words of nonsense can deceive the Immortal Lord?"

"That's it, Lord Shangxian is an immortal, how can he believe the old man's words so casually?"

"If it were me, I would have kicked him away with both feet."

Ma Xiaoquan saw that everyone was talking non-stop, and stretched out his hand to stop it: "Everyone, don't say more, the old man is not easy, even if he wants to lie to me, it doesn't matter, I have lost a few strings of money at most, a string of pearls, but have you ever thought about it, if I blow the old man away, who will lose the most?" ”

A soldier reacted: "Lord Cao Cao! ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "That's right, you are all borrowed by me, and your every move represents your lord, I said this, do you understand?" ”

Everyone replied in unison.

Ma Xiaoquan clapped his hands and stood up: "Okay, it's enough to rest, when the two brothers come back, we should go."

The soldiers stood up in unison and saluted Ma Xiaoquan respectfully

In a corner of the village, two men with hats looked at each other, and one of them said, "The master asked us to monitor this demon surnamed Ma, and I want to meet him." ”

The other person smiled: "Don't worry, don't you forget the advantages of our shadow guard?" ”

"Of course I haven't forgotten, our advantage is at night."

"That's it, it's a matter of urgency, let's just wait, wait for the evening, you and I can test the demon of this surnamed Ma."

The two of them made up their minds, and they laughed and fell silent again.

In the evening, Ma Xiaoquan led a hundred Cao troops to rest in a low forest.

The soldiers of the Cao army spontaneously asked to take turns to help Lord Shangxian guard the treasure, and Ma Xiaoquan did not shirk it, and accepted the kindness of these soldiers with a smile.

In the middle of the night, the five rested soldiers rotated the five soldiers who guarded the treasure before that.

The handover procedure is very simple, just take a photo of everyone, but after counting, there are still two missing.

"What's going on? What about Big Biao and Little Biao? ”

"Xiao Biao said that his stomach hurt and he wanted to, so Da Biao went with him."

"Oh, well, they'll be back in a minute, and we'll talk to them."

"Okay!"

The three tired Cao soldiers yawned and returned to the camp, while the five people outside chatted secretly in order to cheer up.

One said: "Why did the two brothers go for so long?" ”

The other said: "Otherwise, I happen to have a little urgency, I'll look for it!" ”

Several people laughed and said, "Go and come back quickly, don't be hooked by the female ghost in this barren mountain." ”

The man laughed and cursed, unbuttoning his trouser pockets as he walked behind a slightly taller bush. After walking to the bushes, the man whistled, and was about to take out the things under his crotch to pee happily, when he suddenly felt a cold neck, and before he could do the next action, he saw a hand covering his mouth in the moonlight, and then the man felt that something had been stabbed in the chest, and he was no longer conscious

The four men guarding the treasure felt that the time was a bit long, and they couldn't help but talk again.

"Why has Leizi been gone for so long? Was it really hooked by a female ghost? ”

"Gee, I guess that's possible."

"Okay, okay, you stay, I want to pee too, I'll take a look."

The second man went for a while and still didn't come back.

At this time, the remaining three people were a little nervous.

"Do you want to sue Lord Sù Shangxian?"

"Ah, what are you doing to trouble Lord Shangxian? Let's just solve our own affairs! ”

"But the first two haven't come back yet, have they?"

The three of them decided to go to two people to take a look at it this time, leaving one person in charge of looking at the treasure, and if there was a situation, they could call someone for help.

After the two are gone, the remaining one will inevitably feel panicked.

The man shook his hands and wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked around and muttered, "You two come back quickly, don't run too far."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man felt that someone was patting him on the back.

He turned around abruptly and waved his machete in his hand.

Nothing.

The man exhaled and said to himself, "It seems that I have thought too much, hehe"

"Hehe, you didn't think much about it, it's true!"

With a "poof", a sharp knife plunged into the soldier's throat.

The soldier's eyes widened and he wanted to make the last sound, but his throat and blood vessels were all cut off, and the moment he fell to the ground, the soldier could only make a sound of "uh~~uh".

In front of the dead soldier, there stood a masked man in black, the man in black snorted coldly and moved his wrist lightly a few times, making a "click" joint sound, and the ring on the index finger of the man in black's right hand emitted a trace of green light in the moonlight.

The man in black shook his head: "So many treasures, it's a pity, it's a pity that my son-in-law doesn't lack this thing, otherwise I can take back some invitations."

The man in black was saying that there was another man in black with the same outfit next to him.

"How?"

"It's all settled, tsk, you just killed someone!"

"Hmph, less is a little less, but have you seen that there are so many treasures, are you interested in taking two pieces, go back and find time for us to go to the flower building to play?"

"Hmph, you lustful immortal guy, I'm not like you, the master has ordered, test the purple-haired demon Dao, what do you think?"

"Temptation? Why didn't I hear that? ”

"What do you mean?"

"What kind of bullshit fairy, if you kill it, you can get it, why keep it if you cause trouble to the master?"
