When it comes to Ma Chenggui, the big boss of the Jinling Ma family, no matter which force he is, no one praises his noble character.

No matter what you should not do, how you provoke someone you shouldn't provoke, as long as you are his friend, you can go to Jinling to find him, and he will never push you out of the door.

What's even more rare is that everyone is easy to become his friend, no matter what kind of prince and nobleman you are, or a beggar on the street, you will be treated equally in his eyes, and the door of the Ma family is always open, welcoming anyone to come.

To be the Marquis of Wanhu, it is better to have Ma Chenggui and a friend, this is the evaluation of the world's No. 1 swordsman Li Chaoqing.

But this is such a person, who suddenly disappeared mysteriously nine years ago, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and his whereabouts have always been the biggest mystery in the rivers and lakes, and there are still many people he has helped who are still looking for him.

When Ma Chengkong heard Mu Qinghong's sudden words, his originally empty eyes lit up with a flame of hope, but it only disappeared for a moment.

Perhaps he already knew in his heart that after nine years of no news, his father might have been a dead man, turned into a ghost and wild ghost that wandered around the Santuchuan all day long.

"You don't believe me?"

Mu Qinghong saw the gleam in Ma Chengkong's eyes, and bent down to smile at him: "You can think I'm talking big, but you must know in your heart that if your father is still alive, I am the one who is most likely to find him." ”

Ma Chengkong looked at Mu Qinghong blankly, Mu Qinghong suddenly stretched out a hand and skipped in front of him, the speed was so fast that even Ma Chengkong, who was close at hand, didn't have time to react, his two fingers had caught a plum blossom petal, put the petal lightly on Ma Chengkong's forehead, and said with a smile:

"You should believe me, there is nothing in the world that I can't steal, and naturally there is no one I can't find."

As soon as the words fell, Mu Qinghong disappeared into the night, along with the wooden box that contained nothing, leaving Ma Chengkong to sit alone in front of the door, staring blankly at the plum blossoms in the moonlight in the courtyard.

He sat like this all night, until the first rays of the morning sun pierced his eyes.

The bright moon did not come out of the sheath after all.

Ordinary people travel from Jinling to Qizhou, even if they ride the fastest horse, it takes two days day and night, but Mu Qinghong only needs one night.

The sunshine in the sky has just shone brightly, he has entered the outer city of Qizhou, dozens of miles away from Jinling, this outer city is not big, there is only one inn in the city, the shopkeeper Jin Fat Man is yawning and just opened the door of the inn, just bumped into Mu Qinghong outside the door.

"Shopkeeper, is there a girl surnamed Shui living here these days?"

The golden fat man was taken aback coldly, and when he saw Mu Qinghong's face clearly, he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, shook his head slightly and squeezed out a smile: "There is indeed a girl surnamed Shui who lives here, and the son is her friend?" ”

Mu Qinghong wiped the mist on his face, smiled and took out a tael of silver from his arms and stuffed it to the golden shopkeeper, and said, "Yes, that girl is my friend, and she made an appointment with me to wait for me here." ”

The golden shopkeeper accepted the silver, his fat face smiled into a chrysanthemum, and hurriedly beckoned Mu Qinghong to come in, and said, "Mrs. Ling will rest in our best room, and the food is my best, I will take you there." ”

Mu Qinghong stretched out his hand to grab him, and said with a smile: "Don't bother the shopkeeper, I'll go up by myself." After speaking, he didn't give the golden shopkeeper a chance to speak, turned over and jumped up the stairs, pointed to a few wings upstairs and squinted at the golden shopkeeper, the golden shopkeeper pointed to the innermost one, Mu Qinghong smiled, tiptoed to the room, stretched out a finger to poke through the screen, and put his right eye on it and peeked carefully into the room.

This is indeed a good room, there is a good pear blossom wood table in the center of the bright and spacious room, and there is a big bed in the corner that can lie down five people, there should be but there is no one, Mu Qinghong turned his head, opened his mouth in confusion towards the golden shopkeeper downstairs, and said with his mouth: "No one!" ”

The golden shopkeeper looked stunned for a moment, and then gestured towards Mu Qinghong to push the door, Mu Qinghong chirped, and directly stretched out his hand to push open the door and walked in, there was indeed no one in the house, but there was a trace of wine in the air.

Mu Qinghong walked to the side of the bed, stretched out his hand and put it on the bed, the cold touch made Mu Qinghong's heart sink, could it be that the woman left first without waiting for him? Or did something happen?

When Mu Qinghong was thinking, he suddenly felt a chill behind him, he didn't hesitate to turn around quickly, and waved his hand forward in the shape of a fist, but it was still a little late, only to hear the sound of "boom", a slender red whip threw at him, like a red chain snake wrapped around his arm, and then the whip dragged Mu Qinghong to the ground with a pull back.

This whip came quickly and accurately, in fact, Mu Qinghong knew in his heart that no one in the rivers and lakes could avoid this whip, because it was Chengjiu Wine that swung it.

One foot lightly stepped on Mu Qinghong's chest, Cheng Jiujiu's pretty face showed a flower-like smile, her eyes showed a hint of banter, and she smiled at Mu Qinghong under her feet: "Mu Qinghong, Mu Qinghong, you never seem to learn to knock on the door." ”

Mu Qinghong smiled: "Don't forget that I am a thief, how can a thief knock on the door?" ”

"But there's nothing you want to steal here, but you have to keep something."

Cheng Jiujiu moved his feet away, turned around and sat on the big bed, and smiled at Mu Qinghong: "Why did you use it for so long this time?" I'm still thinking that if you don't come today, I'll go to Ma's house to see it myself. ”

Mu Qinghong straightened up and sat on the ground, took out the wooden box he brought from the Ma family from his arms and threw it to Cheng Jiujiu, and said, "It's useless for you to go in the past, I'm afraid you will disappoint the old man this time." ”

Cheng Jiujiu took the wooden box, was stunned when he heard it, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Mu Qinghong nodded at the box: "You can open it yourself and see it,"

"What are you talking about?"

Cheng Jiujiu glared, the box weighed in her hand, and suddenly realized something, and asked Mu Qinghong, "Have you already opened it?" ”

Mu Qinghong nodded, and hurriedly explained when he saw Cheng Jiujiu's surprised appearance: "You don't have to look at me like this, the box was not opened by me, it was Ma Chenggui, and the box was originally empty." ”

"Where's the contents of the box?"

"I lost it before I got to Ma's house."

Cheng Jiujiu pursed her lips, stood up and walked back and forth, and suddenly laughed, she didn't have the slightest idea that Mu Qinghong would take the contents of the box for herself, Mu Qinghong saw Cheng Jiujiu smile and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Cheng Jiujiu said: "I'm thinking, what kind of expression the old man will have after opening this empty box." ”

Mu Qinghong also laughed dryly and waved his hand: "You don't have to think about it, you know, he will definitely be angry, after all, what he wants has not missed." ”

Cheng Jiujiu nodded in agreement, turning the wooden box in his hand and shaking it over and over, Yu Guang glanced at Mu Qinghong who didn't seem to be interested, and couldn't help asking, "You have something on your mind, you haven't said why it took so long this time." ”

Mu Qinghong sighed lightly and asked Chengjiujiu: "I have observed Ma Chengkong's personality, and he does not dishonor the reputation of the Ma family." ”

Cheng Jiujiu asked, "Why are you wasting your time trying to see who he is?" ”

Mu Qinghong said: "My father has received the favor of Ma Chenggui, so I naturally want to see if his son is worthy of being the head of the Ma family." ”

Cheng Jiujiu asked, "Then you see him now, is he satisfactory to you?" ”

Mu Qinghong smiled: "He is better than his father in life, so I can't let him die." ”

"Oh?" Cheng Jiujiu became interested: "Who wants him to die?" How are you going to protect him? ”

"I broke into the forbidden land of the Ma family, and he told me that anyone who did not get his father's permission to enter must die, or he would die to apologize."

"It's stupid, so how do you do it?"

"I promised him that I would help him find his father, who had been missing for several years."

Cheng Jiujiu was intuitively funny, pointed at Mu Qinghong and said: "This is also a very stupid promise, there is no way to find out Ma Chenggui's whereabouts, and you shouldn't care about this kind of nosy." ”

Mu Qinghong said: "Of course I know, but I can't watch him judge himself in front of me, and there are more important issues now." ”

"What's the problem?"

"The old man didn't get the contents of the box, and he is likely to attack the Ma family."

Cheng Jiujiu raised his forehead and said, "This is bound to happen, that's why I said that you made a stupid promise." ”

Mu Qinghong smiled: "But we may have a way to delay for a while and find the original contents of the box before you make a difference." ”

Cheng Jiujiu didn't seem to want to cooperate, got up and took out the wine gourd hanging on his waist and took a sip, stared at Mu Qinghong with squinted eyes, and said, "You are planning to do something very dangerous, what the contents of the box were originally is not something we should know." ”

Mu Qinghong didn't talk nonsense, and stretched out three fingers: "Three days, I only need three days, whether it is successful or not, I will come back, and I will bring you a thirty-year-old daughter red as a thank you gift." ”

Thirty years of daughter red ......

A glimmer of light flashed in Cheng Jiujiu's eyes, she had no other hobbies, except for drinking, Mu Qinghong's words undoubtedly hit her weakness, put down the wine gourd and pursed her lips, yawned and turned over and lay on the bed:

"I'm so drunk that I'm going to sleep for days, and I haven't seen anyone in the meantime."

In the Ma family in Jinling, Ma Chengkong knelt alone in the ancestral hall, staring blankly at the portrait hanging on the wall.

It was a portrait of his father, and although he did not see his father's body, he knew as well as the world that it was very unlikely that Ma Sung-gyu, who had been missing for several years, would survive.

He had been kneeling here for hours, and the Bright Moon Knife was in front of him.

"I failed to keep my promise to you, father."

Knocking his forehead on the ground, his originally handsome face had already been soaked with blood and tears, and he couldn't see his original appearance at all, he stretched out a hand to caress the blade of Jiaoyue's knife, the blade of the blade was as bright as frost and stained his blood, like a magic knife from the Hell of Huangquan, and outside the ancestral hall, many people from the Ma family also knelt on the ground, quietly waiting for Ma Chengkong.

If Ma Chengkong hadn't walked out of this gate today, there was no doubt that these people would have gone with him.

Finally, Ma Chengkong closed his eyes and raised the Bright Moon Knife in front of him across his neck, with only a slight effort, the Ma family will be removed from the rivers and lakes from now on, and at this time, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in Ma Chengkong's ears:

"Do you think that if you die, the Ma family will be able to escape the next catastrophe?"

Ma Cheng stopped empty-handed, did not open his eyes, and asked softly, "You...... Why is it coming back? ”

Mu Qinghong slowly sat next to Ma Chengkong, put his fingers on the handle of the Kyaukyue Knife, and said softly: "I came to witness the moment of the fall of the Ma family. ”
