Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan, who returned to Nanyang County after recuperation, first planned to buy a private house close to the Lu family's mansion

++++++++++++++++++++ Ma Xiaoquan saw that the other party was silent, but looking at his expression, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh and lacked sampling, and suddenly understood a little bit in his heart.

Coming to the end of the Han Dynasty for more than 20 years, Ma Xiaoquan didn't dare to say anything else, just this kind of kung fu, Ma Xiaoquan really learned a lot.

This guy in front of him, Ma Xiaoquan only used a few glances to see the other party's thoughts, although he didn't know what the other party was thinking, but he also guessed that eight ~ ~ nine is not far from ten.

"Oh, hehe" Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile, "This brother, you are a local, right?" As soon as I bought this house, you came over, and your house must not be far from my house. ”

Shadow Guard smiled, "Yes, my house is there!" As he spoke, the shadow guard stretched out his hand and pointed to the Lu family's mansion not far behind him.

"Huh? Brother, you actually live there~" Ma Xiao showed envy and kept admiring.

"No, no, I'm just a subordinate in that house, hehe"

Ma Xiaoquan sighed, pretending to be curious: "It is said that there is a very famous Lu family mansion in Nanyang County, Brother Tai, that mansion must be the Lu family's mansion." ”

"Hmm~~"

"Oh, I'm glad to be able to meet the people in the Lu family's mansion, I, Mao Shiken, really came to Nanyang County in vain."

Ying Wei puffed out his mouth and almost laughed out loud, the name "Mao Shiken" is really imaginative, coupled with Ma Xiaoquan's dialect, after a little misunderstanding, the words "Mao Pit" immediately appeared in his mind.

Ying Wei said: "If Brother Tai doesn't mind, I can be the introducer another day and invite Brother Tai to go to Lu's house to sit down." ”

"Great, then it's decided, hehe~~"

The shadow guard snorted, the purpose of his coming this time had been achieved, and Ma Xiaoquan, who was opposite him, also started the next plan in his heart.

At night, Ma Xiaoquan lay on the bed and repeatedly thought about what happened during the day, from the current point of view, one qiē seems to be moving forward according to the plan, but the master once said that the dragon two are difficult to deal with, so far Ma Xiaoquan has not met with the dragon two, how powerful the dragon is, Ma Xiaoquan has no bottom in his heart.

After thinking about it all night, when the sky was white, Ma Xiaoquan closed his eyes and fell asleep, and this sleep went straight to the afternoon.

When I woke up, it happened that yesterday's shadow guard came to visit again, saying that he wanted to introduce Ma Xiaoquan to the Lu family's mansion as a guest.

Ma Xiaoquan hastily cleaned up, and then came to the Lu family's mansion with the shadow guard.

Because he and his son Ma Zheng sneaked into the Lu family's mansion before, Ma Xiaoquan was not restrained when he arrived this time, but he was not too natural to see. Overall, it gives a sense of caution.

The shadow guard smiled secretly in his heart and asked, "Brother Mao, isn't your family big?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan sighed, shook his head and said: "I always thought that there were countless properties in the family, and today compared with the Lu family's mansion, it is simply an underground, a heaven, hey~~"

The shadow guard smiled slightly and gave up a position: "Hehe, Brother Mao, the housekeeper is already waiting for you, please~~"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded, followed behind the shadow guard, and entered the main hall.

In the main hall, Long Er was teasing a little bird with great interest, and when he saw his subordinates leading Ma Xiaoquan in, he nodded politely, and stood up to greet Ma Xiaoquan: "Hehe, you are Brother Mao Shiken, hehe, hello, come, sit." ”

Ma Xiaoquan was surprised by Ryuuji's politeness, you must know that before he saw this Ryuuji, the two didn't know each other.

Long Er was stunned when he saw Ma Xiaoquan, and couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart, such a gentleman seems to be useless.

After sitting down, Long Er asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Why did Brother Mao come to my Nanyang County?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, and said with a bitter look: "This thing is also annoying, I think my Mao Gang is also the number one person in Yanzhou, don't you just fall in love with a little lady, Zhao Ming's guy wants to fight with me, hum, Lao Tzu was angry, and killed him while he was sleeping"

"Zhao Ming?" Ryuuji's eyebrows moved slightly, and the shadow guard beside him immediately nodded slightly.

This Qiē Ma Xiaoquan's eyes were all in the corner of his eyes, and he was not afraid of Long Er to investigate, because at the beginning of this year, a famous son-in-law brother Zhao Ming in Yanzhou was really killed, and the murderer has not been caught yet

But Zhao clearly has this person, but Mao Gang has not. If Ryuuji sends someone to Yanzhou to investigate, won't his identity be exposed?

Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but secretly miscalculate in his heart, so Ma Xiaoquan had to advance the plan he had made earlier.

After Ma Xiaoquan left, Ryuuji hurriedly gathered all the shadow guards to discuss the murder that Ma Xiaoquan said earlier.

The conference system of the shadow guard is somewhat similar to the modern conference system, in which each member is allowed to speak to provide information reference for decision-makers, but the final decision-making power is still up to the decision-maker. In the usual meetings, Ryuuji was just a speaker, but today in the Lu family's mansion, his status is the highest, and he is naturally the decision-maker.

Some people immediately sent someone to Yanzhou to investigate and determine Ma Xiaoquan's identity, while some people held an attitude of opposition, after all, now the shadow guards are not enough to be manpowered, and no one knows when Ma Xiaoquan will come again, with Ma Xiaoquan's skills, none of the shadow guards dare to take it lightly, and besides, Yanzhou is so big, it is not as simple as saying it to determine this news.

"Hmm~~" After listening to the advice of his subordinates, Ryuuji was also a little undecided. Originally, Long Er wanted to send someone to Yanzhou to investigate, but now his side is short of manpower, and there is no new Ding to join, in other words, if Ma Xiaoquan comes a few more times, the number of his shadow guards will only decrease, not increase.

"Okay, then hold this matter down for the time being, that 'hair and pit', keep an eye on me, and when the year is over, the master's side is done, and we will investigate immediately."

"Yes!"

Ma Xiaoquan didn't know the result of the discussion of the shadow guards, but when Ma Xiaoquan entered the Lu family's mansion during the day, he got a message that made him very excited:

The last time he and his son Ma Zheng sneaked into the Lu family's mansion to investigate, they encountered a large group of shadow guards, and even if they escaped in the end, they were all wolves. Going to the Lu family's mansion during the day today, Ma Xiaoquan found that the number of shadow guards was much smaller than before.

"Could it be that all those shadow guards have gone out on a mission?" Ma Xiaoquan muttered to himself, and then shook his head and vetoed, "Impossible, then Long Er knows that I am difficult to deal with, how can I send someone out again?" Unless "

Ma Xiaoquan sat up from the bed, jumped to the table in two steps, lifted the carving knife, and carved a line of words on the bamboo slip on the table.

Ma Xiaoquan engraved modern simplified characters, which are very different from the Chinese characters in the late Han Dynasty, but if you carefully identify them, you can also recognize some of them.

After carving these lines, Ma Xiaoquan returned to the bed and fell asleep.

On the roof, a dark shadow passed through the gap of the tiles, and he saw what happened in the house, but because the external environment was noisy, he didn't hear what Ma Xiaoquan said.

"The boss told me to keep an eye on him, what did he just say to himself? Hey~~ I didn't hear it, but it's okay, the bamboo slip he wrote, I must get it"

In the early morning of the next day, Ma Xiaoquan got up and went out to wash, and the shadow guard took advantage of Ma Xiaoquan's time to sneak into the house and steal the bamboo slips on the table.

Ma Xiaoquan is sometimes very shrewd, sometimes he is very sloppy, the bamboo slips on the table are missing, Ma Xiaoquan thought he threw it away last night, so he didn't care too much

In the Lu family's mansion, Long Er took the bamboo slip that Ma Xiaoquan wrote last night, and he had been reading it for more than an hour.

Before Long Er became a shadow guard, he worshipped under the Demon Woman of Oligarch Mountain as an apprentice, if it weren't for the fact that the master killed too many people and attracted an old guy named Huang Shigong, otherwise, Long Er should still be practicing in Oligarch Mountain now.

Although Ryuuji's master is a woman, he has outstanding literary talents, and after following his master for several years, Ryuuji not only learned a skill, but also learned a good literary style.

The bamboo slips written by Ma Xiaoquan last night were simplified Chinese characters, and Long Er thought about it for a long time, drew with a pen and paper for a long time, and spent nearly an hour before he completely "deciphered" the words written by Ma Xiaoquan.

"The fourth world of reincarnation, the fourth world of cause and effect, the fourth world of love, the fourth world of fate, the fourth world of calamity, the fourth world of a thousand years of love" Long Er muttered for a long time, shook his head and said, "What kind of verse is this?" Why is this pit writing such a poem? ”

One of his subordinates leaned over to take a look at it and said, "Chief, I once heard my master recite this verse."

"What? Did the master remember it? ”

"Well, yes, the master said at the time that he heard it from one of Ma Xiaoquan's wives."

"When did you hear that?"

"My subordinates don't know, and my subordinates have only heard of it."

"Hmm~~" Ryuji held his chin with his right hand, "A lady of Ma Xiaoquan?" Could it be that this hair pit was pretended by Ma Xiaoquan? No, I have to report this to the master, well~ just right, you heard this sentence, you bring this bamboo slip, and then bring my writing to the master, please master decide. ”

"Yes~"

Ryuuji exhaled, shook his head and said, "In this way, my shadow guard has one less person, um~~"

At night, Ma Xiaoquan infiltrated the Lu family's mansion and began his plan to slaughter.

According to Ma Xiaoquan's steps, he must complete the planned task of killing at least three shadow guards today.
