Chapter 161: Prophecy
"Stinky boy, you?" Liu Lin was full of doubts about what An Ruihong said before Ma Shuo was taken away. At this time, when he saw Ma Shuo coming back, he hurriedly wondered if it was really as he guessed.
Ma Shuo frowned and moved his still sore shoulders: "Yes, yes, old man Liu, there was also a heavy fog in the village a few days ago!"
The third time he told what happened in the fog, Ma Shuo was about to vomit in his heart.
I said a paragraph three times, and those who didn't know thought he was showing off something.
In fact, it occurred to him when he came back from An Ruihong. In addition to Old Man Liu, the princess, the baron, and so many high-ranking and powerful people are concerned about this matter, is it really appropriate to involve yourself?
But when he recalled Zhao Meiping's last threatening words, he couldn't help but stir up the nameless fire in his chest. And whether it is Baron or An Ruihong, the energy is much greater than himself.
Perhaps, it would be more effective for them to investigate the matter than to take risks themselves?
After all, he is too weak now, and compared to the mysterious and powerful Black Gate, he is completely using the mantis arm as a car.
Although the result of this is that it is very likely that you will not be able to take revenge in person. However, it is also the most reasonable solution under the current conditions.
After Ma Shuo finished speaking, the courtyard immediately fell into a state of silence. Not only Liu Lin had mixed feelings in his heart, but even Baron Rowan, who had just come to Hemlock Village, was surprised.
Especially for Ma Shuo, when he could think of using strips of cloth to deal with big beetles and killing women with fishing nets and harpoons, he secretly admired the mentality of being able to remain calm at the moment of life and death.
Is the child in front of him really only seven or eight years old? Or is Mr. Liu's ability to teach his disciples particularly powerful?
No matter what it is, Rowan can't help but admire the two. The two masters in front of them are very strong, and the teacher is strong in the present, but in the future, if there is no accident, it will definitely be a child.
Liu Lin scratched his scalp and asked rhetorically with a frown, "Rancid smell?"
"Hmm!" Ma Shuo nodded: "From the moment I entered the fog, that smell made people want to vomit." It's like the smell of rotting animal carcasses and toilet methane, it's disgusting. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been vigilant in the first place!"
When Liu Lin heard this, he glanced at Ma Shuo deeply again, and nodded: "Okay, don't let Lord Baron stand with us, introduce me." ”
"This is Sakaram Rowan, our Lord Baron of North Thorn. ”
"My eldest apprentice, Ma Xiaobai. ”
After Liu Lin finished introducing two sentences, when he was about to go back to the house, he saw that the baron actually stroked Ma Shuo's shoulder slightly, and Ma Shuo made the same action at the same time in a panic.
This made Liu Lin quite surprised, touching his shoulder?
Rowan saluted first because he admired Ma Shuo's bravery, and he deserved to be the first to salute to show his friendliness, and this action had nothing to do with status.
Unexpectedly, Ma Shuo returned the salute with the same action, and every detail was exactly right. Suddenly, His Royal Highness the former Second Prince noticed a hint of something strange.
Don't look at the action you just made seems simple, in fact, only the thumb touches the shoulder, and the other four fingers are just virtual presses.
And this seemingly useless etiquette is an ancient aristocratic tradition that has been handed down from at least 3,000 years ago.
Only large families whose inheritance has never been interrupted will be used when they admire someone from the bottom of their hearts. The meaning is: I will never lower my proud head, but I truly recognize your strength.
Not bending down indicates the arrogance of the nobility, and the thumb touches the shoulder, indicating a subtle but heartfelt approval.
And after Ma Shuo finished his movements, he was a little flustered in his heart. This is an uncontrollable instinctive reaction, and it is also one of the few etiquettes that I learned at home before the extermination.
Of course, he also knew the deep meaning of this, but Baron Rowan's sudden salute frightened him. Otherwise, he would rather kneel than return the salute.
But now that the wood is in the boat, it's too late to hide anything.
This is Bei Sanke, and he, as a remnant of Dongzhou who is not a member of the An family, actually knows the ceremonial actions that only the ancient nobles would do. If you want to make the other party not the slightest suspicious, Ma Shuo himself doesn't believe it!
After all, the other party is a real Xizhou person, and he is also a Northern Sanke nobleman.
If you forcibly arrest yourself and let him become some kind of political bargaining chip in Beisanke. With Ma Shuo's current ability, he can't resist at all!
People are knives and I am fish and meat, and I have to panic in my heart.
An Ruihong is completely different, the other party is not sure whether he is an orphan of the Ma family. Coupled with the status of a princess, she won't care too much about things like adding officials to the knighthood.
Sure enough, when Liu Lin was inexplicable and returned to the house with Ma Shuo worriedly, Baron Rowan's gaze never left Ma Shuo's side, and the expression on his face was even more strange.
Ma Shuo's scalp was numb, and his heart was full of anger. He simply stopped avoiding it, and raised his head to stare at the opponent's big eyes.
"Ahem!" Liu Lin is now the second monk and is confused, what happened to the two people who met for the first time?
Otherwise, this expression is too weird. It's just that the baron didn't go home with him for fun, so he hurriedly pretended to cough twice to remind the two.
Baron Rowan was the first to react, and curled the corners of his mouth with a strange expression: "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, I seem to see the figure of my eldest brother's son on Ma Xiaobai's face, and I can't control the longing in my heart for a while, I'm sorry!"
It's not so much that I think of my eldest brother, but that I married An Xuehua as my sister through my eldest brother, and I think of my endless thoughts about An Ruihong.
After all, just now, his sweetheart left without even saying hello, and it is not unreasonable for him to have this mentality.
borrowed the romance of the scene, which can be regarded as a helpless heart for me now, so I finally found a place to vent that is not very reasonable.
The baron said so, what else could Liu Lin do? He had to touch Ma Shuo's head and explained with a smile: "That 'god' said that he sensed that there would be a lost one in the eastern Wuthering Strait within half a month, so the baron and I only stayed for two days to check how the progress of a few of you, especially you kid." ”
"Old man Liu, you!" Ma Shuo became angry after hearing this: "How can you be a master? After going out for so long, leave the three of them in my custody, who is the master? Ah? The little master is only seven years old! Seven years old!"
Without waiting for Liu Lin to refute, he took a deep breath and continued: "Just hand them over to me, don't even say how to teach and bring them, you are extremely irresponsible!
I wanted to show a little stability in front of the baron, but I didn't expect the apprentice to roar head-on. Liu Lin is the master who is scolded and doesn't return the favor?
got up suddenly, rolled up his sleeves and scolded: "Little bastard, eat me, live in me, learn my craft." Is there something you can't say well? What a roar! Lao Tzu is not deaf!"
After scolding, Liu Lin felt that what he did was indeed a little inauthentic. Therefore, the second half of the sentence is very unconfident, and even reveals some strong words.
Luo Wen was taken aback by the quarrel between the two of them without warning, and hurriedly comforted: "Stop, stop, Mr. Liu, please arrange a place for me to live, and then you can go and get busy, if you want to teach Ma Xiaobai new martial arts, it doesn't hurt to stay for a few more days." ”
In two days, there was still plenty of progress in checking martial arts. But to learn something new, in Rowan's opinion, it is far from enough.
Hearing this, Ma Shuo showed a look of disdain: "Just rely on this little bit of broken things taught by Old Man Liu?
