Chapter 164 Conditional Trading
The violent fluctuations of hatred in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time, but Ma Shuo still forced himself to calm down as quickly as possible.
Now this meaningless hatred can only waste time, and the most important thing is to improve the strength as soon as possible.
He took deep breaths until his heartbeat was almost normal, and then he took one last glimpse of the name on the diary.
Holding the two notebooks in his hand, blowing out the oil lamp, he turned around and went back to the bedroom door, listened carefully to the sound of wine snoring in the room was still as smooth as ever, and then carefully pushed open the door and walked in.
According to the memory in my mind, I quickly touched the package, basically put it in its original position, and tied it. Just as he was about to turn to leave, a greeting sounded on the bed.
"Ma Xiaobai, what are you doing?"
The moment the voice appeared, Ma Shuo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and a drop of moisture slid from his forehead through his eye sockets and the side of his nose and flowed into his mouth.
Salty, with a hint of bitterness.
Turning around slowly, only a vague humanoid figure could be seen in the darkness, and slowly sat up from the bed.
Obviously he didn't make any sound, and in order to prevent the light factor from disturbing the baron, he even blew out the oil lamp before daring to come in.
Still is?
Although his heart was so nervous that he couldn't be more nervous, since the baron had woken up, Ma Shuo had to stubbornly and carefully replied: "Honorable Baron, I, I was looking to see if you were short of water, but I didn't expect to wake up." ”
"Humph!"
Without waiting for Ma Shuo to finish speaking, a disdainful cold snort came, interrupting Ma Shuo's words and continuing: "Stealing the important property of the nobles of the kingdom is twice the crime according to the laws of the country, and you need to chop off the index fingers of both hands!"
Ma Shuo's pupils contracted suddenly, he didn't expect that he would be punished with a stump for theft in Beisanke. And when I learned about this, it was when I was about to become a penalty.
"Your Excellency!"
"Don't say it, all lies will only become excuses!" After speaking, he took out a piece of paper from the bed and sighed: "Perhaps, it would be more appropriate for me to call your real name, right?"
Then, a blank piece of paper stretched out in front of him in the dark, and Ma Shuo, who was frightened and his brain was blank, subconsciously took it.
That's right, from the feel and the residue of the glue behind him after drying, Ma Shuo knew that this was a wanted warrant at the entrance of the village and even the whole country. I vaguely saw that the painting above was myself half a year ago.
There is nothing to say, and Ma Shuo is not ready to cover up anything with lies. Since the fake identity was exposed by ironclad evidence, Ma Shuo also relaxed a lot for a while.
Take a deep breath and slowly exhale: "Okay, Lord Baron, my name is Ma Shuo, and I just peeked at the information about the lost in your picture album and diary. ”
"Click!" there was a crisp sound, and Rowan lit the oil lamp in front of the bed with a flint. Only then did Ma Shuo see that the other party was looking at him with a smile.
There is no sign of anger but not forbearance, and I can't help but wonder.
Rowan turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, smiling and staring at Ma Shuo for a long time. It wasn't until he was already covered in hair that he continued: "If you chop off two fingers, you'll be ruined!"
"Huh?" Ma Shuo frowned slightly, a little confused about what the Baron was going to say, so he had to lower his head and remain silent.
This kind of calmness and calmness, which obviously does not belong to a child, made Baron Rowan obviously a little surprised in his heart.
When he first heard about the legal punishment of Beisanke, Ma Shuo was indeed a little flustered. But when the baron called out his real name, he noticed something strange.
When did he know that he was not called Ma Xiaobai?
Know before you come?
What did Old Man Liu tell him after he came?
Or did Wood tell him?
There are only three possibilities that Ma Shuo can guess.
An Ruihong's performance was very bland, if she wanted to arrest herself, she could just bring the troops in, there was no need to go around this circle.
Liu Lin may have guessed his identity a long time ago, but he doesn't have to be so troublesome to clean himself up. Whether it is in terms of martial arts or experience, he has no chance of winning at all.
Besides, a top-level thief who successfully stole the double blade of Yuehua, does he still need to go through the nobility and the government to clean up a child?
Besides, Ma Shuo is not a threat to Liu Lin at all, of course, this does not include the matter of arguing with him today.
The only thing left was Wood, who was able to communicate with the baron for a long time when he went to the canyon.
Since it's him, he shouldn't be in any danger to his life.
"Lord Baron!" Ma Shuo figured out the whole thing with the elimination method, and boldly asked Luo Wen's eyes: "You, do you need Ma Shuo to do anything?"
"Huh?" Rowan was stunned, he didn't expect Ma Shuo to ask such a question. Could it be that he guessed that he was deliberately deceiving him?
However, it can be seen from the question that Ma Shuo did not resist himself too much.
In this case, even Rowan himself no longer detours around the corner. He smiled slightly and nodded: "For Mr. Liu's sake, I can ignore this matter for the time being." However, I need you to promise me one condition. ”
Ma Shuo understood in an instant, but on the premise of not knowing what the specific conditions were, he was not ready to agree to anything.
"Excuse me, my lord, what do you need Ma Shuo to help you do?"
Luo Wen paused slightly, the flames reflected on his cheeks, and a hint of rosy flashed: "Be the contact between me and Princess An!"
"Huh?" Ma Shuo was instantly dumbfounded, and his heart suddenly felt inexplicable.
Contact?yourself?
A princess, a nobleman. Do you need Ma Shuo to be the contact person? You don't use the tools of letter crow and long-wave communication, but you have to rely on yourself?
Trying his best to hold back his wry smile, Ma Shuo was puzzled: "But my lord, I'm just a civilian!"
"No!" Rowan shook his head in denial, "Wood told me everything about you, so I grabbed you this way." ”
With that, Rowan stood up, walked up to Ma Shuo and looked down at him: "Now you must agree to my conditions! Otherwise, I will arrest you immediately and go to White Horse City to meet the sheriff!"
Raised his hand and touched Ma Shuo's head, his face was a little hot. But he had to continue: "For Mr. Liu's sake, it's okay to whip you!"
"Heh!" Ma Shuo really smiled this time, but his smile was full of bitterness. Since everything has been said about this, Ma Shuo can't help but completely let go of his worries.
The whole person immediately relaxed! He slapped away Luo Wen's right hand that was rubbing his hair, and looked up at the other party's eyes: "My lord, in fact, for Master's sake, you don't have to go around in such a circle at all! Really!"
There was a slight hint of shame on Luo Wen's face, although he was not as arrogant as his eldest brother, but in a panic, he would indeed instinctively use his power to oppress and order.
Now that Ma Shuo said it to his face, he felt a little bad in his heart.
Slowly squatting down, looking at Ma Shuo's extremely depressed little appearance: "Okay, Ma Shuo! Ma Xiaobai, I'm sorry for threatening you just now, and now I apologize to you as Baron Beisanke!"
"I!" Ma Shuo opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything about the grievances in his heart. I had to sigh, "Okay, sir, I'll help!" But what do you need me to do?"
Rowan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, although the process made him feel guilty, but the result was not bad. He told him what he needed to do, and left a baron seal and the address of the shop on behalf of his identity.
got up and touched Ma Shuo's head again, but this time the other party didn't dodge. He smiled slightly: "If you need help in the future, you will go to the Quiet City." Anything I can do, as long as it doesn't violate justice and conscience, I will help you!"
"Swear in the name of the ancestors!"
"Oh, yes. Rowan suddenly realized: "Don't pretend to quarrel so abruptly in the future, it's easy to be seen through at a glance!"
