Nalan Changhui was stunned for a long time.

Until the large number of defenders of Jinlu City arrived here in a hurry.

She just got up, withdrew her sword as if nothing had happened, turned around and jumped onto the eaves, and disappeared without a trace.

Nalan Changhui thought about it in every possible way, but he couldn't understand it.

If the masked man is Zhao Gouchen, the general of the auxiliary state, he will never just have a martial arts cultivation in the upper realm of the high pavilion!

Besides, why did he kill Ma Hechuan?

She had never heard of Zhao Gouchen having a holiday with Ma Hechuan.

Who is Zhao Gouchen, who rose to Xisai, and became the head of the hundred generals by virtue of his outstanding military exploits, compared with Ma Hechuan, it is too humble to speak.

Of course, Ma Hechuan seems to have a low status among the officials, and he can't squeeze into that group of old things, but he has a bright future, and the Nalan family has pressed the treasure on him.

Before coming, she had spoken to the elders of her family many times that she was unwilling to escort Ma Hechuan to Nanyangzhou.

The elders used the future of the Nalan family and the future of many younger generations of the Nalan family to persuade Nalan Changhui to wait for Ma Hechuan's career to be stable, and when he was a servant and a scholar all the way, he would eat people with soft mouths and short hands, and Ma Hechuan could still forget to carry the people of the Nalan family?

The faintly revealed emotions of the masked man put Nalan Changhui in a dilemma.

When she returned to Jinghua from Xisai, she said that the matchmaker had broken the threshold of the Nalan family, but she refused strongly.

In the past few years, the man who has known her is only Zhao Gouchen.

Who else but him?

Nalan Changhui thought about it and racked his brains, but he couldn't find someone who matched the masked man.

As for what the masked man said, she didn't believe a word.

When the news of Nalan Changhui's battle with the masked man reached Ma Hechuan, Ma Hechuan looked ordinary and unmoved.

He has encountered this kind of assassination many times, and every time he can turn danger into a disaster, and now, this time it is also easy to get out of danger.

"Brother Ma, don't worry, there are a few gossip now, I have already sent troops over, these young people dare to assassinate you in Jinlu City, they have eaten the gall of a bear heart and a leopard, and they don't want to live!"

"Yes, Brother Ma. You have a good meal here, and in a short time, we will definitely arrest those people and bring them to justice!"

Nanyangzhou, the state pastor and the state assassin Shi, respectively comforted and assured Ma Hechuan that they must return a tooth for a tooth, and if they want to kill you, they will kill them first.

Huo Fengkang, the pastor of Nanyang Prefecture, is about fifty years old, his face is white and beardless, there is sword intent in his eyes, and he is a direct rebuke of righteous words, assassinating the rats of Ma Hechuan, he is bold, he Huo Fengkang is the pastor of Nanyang Prefecture for a day, and he keeps sending troops to strangle these bold beasts all day long!

Huo Fengkang is the head of the Huo family in Nanyangzhou, his talent is amazing, he plays a good sword, the temple is called up and down, the world is divided into ten Confucian generals, Huo Fengkang will occupy a place.

Huojia made a fortune by shipping, and also used salt transportation, and its strength in Anlin Prefecture is also amazing, which can be called a rare huge wealth in the world.

Ma Hechuan hugged his fists and thanked him, pretending to be: "Huozhou Mu, you must not use all the defenders of Nanyang for the sake of your younger brother, and today there is chaos, the anti-thieves in the north are blazing into the sky, and Nanyang is the largest state in the world in terms of paying taxes, in order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible and return the people to a peaceful place, Nanyang Yangzhou must not be in chaos!"

Huo Fengkang's eyes flashed: "Oh, Brother Ma means that the person who wants to kill you is a traitor from Jiangjin Prefecture?"

When Ma Hechuan learned that someone was going to kill him, he thought about all the enemies he could think of.

The great clan that often haunted him with nightmares had already wiped out the Nine Clans.

The old Liang Pavilion of the cabinet?

Liang Ge Lao was staring at Lin Ge Lao, no matter how hard he tried to kill him, he didn't dare to really make a move.

Leaving flaws, Liang Ge's position in the imperial court was already stormy, and if the plan was leaked, no matter how unwilling Liang Ge Lao was to return to his hometown, he had to return to his hometown.

Wang Shilang of the Ministry of Works?

It's even more impossible, Wang Shilang's people are all waste, and if he doesn't take the initiative to trouble Wang Shilang, Wang Shilang will have to thank God.

Who else?

There's no one left!

It can only be a thief in Jiang Jinzhou, who knows his whereabouts from nowhere, and wants to kill chickens to show the monkeys?

Ma Hechuan is neither humble nor arrogant, his future is well known, don't look at the state pastor and assassin history of Nanyangzhou, and now he is called a brother and a brother, in fact, the Ma Hechuan of the two brothers and sisters is not Ma Hechuan at this time, but Ma Hechuan ten years later!

"Yes, Huo Zhoumu, I carefully went through the people who wanted to kill me, and I really couldn't imagine that anyone among them would dare to send a master to kill me!" he said conceitedly.

Thorn Shi Xue Jian nodded and agreed with Ma Hechuan's words.

Xue Jian, the assassin of Nanyangzhou, was not from a secular background, but the eldest son of the Xue family in Wuyue Prefecture.

Xue Jian has been called a prodigy by the second room of the Xue family since he was a child, and he has been painstakingly cultivated, Xue Jian lived up to his expectations, and finally achieved a prominent position in the history of assassination in a state.

The Xue family, an old friend of the Tuo Dynasty, was actively operating for Xue Jian's transfer from a local magistrate to the center of the capital.

The news he got was good, and the elder Lin Ge of the cabinet had already nodded and agreed, and let Xue Jian stay in the place for a few more years, and then transfer him to the capital.

Just waited for Xue Jian to finish his qualifications and make several big figures in the court loosen their mouths, and Lin Ge Lao said a little good things and was promoted.

There are people in the court who are good officials, not to mention the Xue family who followed Taizu to fight the world.

"Brother Ma is now recognized as the secretary of the ministry in the future, and if he is lucky, he may become a cabinet elder when he enters the cabinet. Xue Jian said, "Brother Ma's enemies in the court and the middle of the court will definitely not give up everything, and the fish will die and the net will be broken, just to kill Brother Ma, and the gains outweigh the losses!

Compared with Huo Fengkang, Xue Jian's family background is more prominent, Ma Hechuan said respectfully today: "What Xue Tingshi said is extremely true, turning over and turning, the person who hopes to kill me must be the rebel in Jiang Jinzhou, and then we can only see if this group of rebels is found, they want Ma's head, then, Ma will take their heads, so that the rebels will open their eyes and take a good look at the fate of going against the court!"

Huo Fengkang clapped his hands and smiled: "By the way, I just remembered that the young head of the Yinhan Dart Bureau got married, and many good players in the rivers and lakes came here to celebrate, let them help us find the thief, wouldn't it be counted in one fell swoop?"

Xue Jian said with a smile: "What Zhou Mu said is right, those martial artists who are coerced by the rivers and lakes are idle, and they are idle, so it is better to say to the chief dart head of the Yinhan Dart Bureau, and in his name, call on the martial artists to arrest the murderer for us!"

He helped Huo Fengkang make up for the shortcomings of his plan.

Huo Fengkang patted Xue Jian's shoulder: "Sure enough, it's my good buddy, I thought of going together." ”

Ma Hechuan pondered and said, "This plan is excellent! Use them to give the Jianghu warriors a little sweetness afterwards......"

Before the words were full, the benefits of the big head were naturally divided equally among the three people.

How to say it, killing the master of Jiang Jinzhou's anti-thieves is also a great achievement.

After Ma Hechuan returned to the temple, he strategized again, and the credit rose again, and the thief he killed was named after listening to it, and the Son of Heaven was coaxed to be happy, and no matter who the benefits were, he could eat his stomach.

Huo Fengkang squinted and smiled: "Confirmed?"

"That's fine. ”

Ma Hechuan bowed his hand to Huo Fengkang and said, "There is Lao Huo Zhou Mu." ”

"It's a small thing, the head of the dart owes me a big favor, and it's also very good to make him return the favor by taking advantage of this matter. Huo Fengkang laughed.

After that, he knew that he couldn't wait for this, and if he waited any longer, the thief who assassinated Ma Hechuan left the city.

Looking at Huo Fengkang, the dragon left the mansion fiercely.

Ma Hechuan's words suddenly changed, and he asked Xue Jiandao: "Xue Tingshi, what is the strength of the defenders in Nanyangzhou?"

Xue Jian was stunned for a moment, and snorted: "What else......?"

"What if...... If there is also a war in Nanyangzhou, will the defenders be able to quickly extinguish the rebels?" Ma Hechuan asked suddenly.

Xue Jian didn't rush to give an answer, his heart sank, he weighed the meaning of Ma Hechuan's words, and slowly asked, "What news did you get?"

Ma Hechuan silently took out a thin note from his arms and handed it to Xue Jian's hand.

Xue Jian hurriedly stretched out the note.

But see, the note is only nine words.

Bluestone City, a rebellion is about to be made soon!

Let Xue Jian know this in advance, Ma Hechuan also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to please the Xue family behind Xue Jian.

"Bluestone City is not too far from Jinlu City...... Xue Jian's eyes flickered, "Since Brother Ma knows about the espionage, why don't we lead the army to extinguish the arrogance of Bluestone City before it burns?"

Ma Hechuan suddenly smiled.

He shook his head: "We will kill the thief before we rebel, how should the temple reward us?"

Xue Jian has long been an old fritter in the officialdom, how can he not understand Ma Hechuan's extraneous voice.

"Brother Ma wants to let Bluestone City rebel, and then we will lead the army to pacify them in front of everyone?" Xue Jian asked suspiciously.

Ma Hechuan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of the fine tea, "Exactly." ”

"At that time, we will be the heroes who have made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion! The reward is far higher than killing the rebels before they can be rebellious!" Xue Jian sighed.

No wonder Ma Hechuan is so favored by the big names in the DPRK and China!

Such a calculation is unthinkable to ordinary people.

Ma Hechuan asked with a smile: "Xue Tingshi, do you know why the bandits in the East China Sea have been pacified for so many years, but they can't kill endlessly?"

Xue Jian looked at Ma Hechuan suspiciously: "The bandits are cunning and abnormal, and they know the waterways of the East China Sea, the East China Sea Division is not valued by the imperial court all the year round, and the money, personnel, and warships are very few compared to the southern Xinjiang, Xisai, and northern borders. ”

"Wrong!" Ma Hechuan said bluntly.

"Ahh

Ma Hechuan put down the tea bowl, laughed, walked to Xue Jian's side, and was the same as Huo Fengkang, patting him on the shoulder, "Xue Tingshi, Xue Tingshi, how can the people in the court be all fools and stupid people? ”

Why did Ma Hechuan link the bandits in the East China Sea with the rebellion in Bluestone City?

The second monk Xue Jianzhang was confused, and he listened to it in a fog, not knowing what Ma Hechuan was trying to express.

Looking at Xue Jian's posture, Ma Hechuan smiled and pointed out the key point, "The bandits in the East China Sea must be suppressed, and they must be eliminated!" The reason why the bandits in the East China Sea explained by Xue Tingshi is difficult to suppress is only the surface, and those big men in the military department, if they really want to put down the bandits in the East China Sea, they will ...... once and for all."

He paused and said in a cold voice: "It's just between the hands and the hands." ”

Xue Jian completely figured it out.

The East China Sea is full of bandits, and the East China Sea division is like a bottomless pit, and no amount of military pay is invested.

As for where the salaries go, to whose hands, and whose treasury they are full......

God knows!

"Brother Ma wants to say that the bigger the anti-thief uprising in Bluestone City, the better, and the bigger the trouble, the greater the credit we will have after the rebellion?!"

"Haha......" Ma Hechuan smiled and patted Xue Jian's shoulder, "Exactly, exactly, however, we also have to grasp the degree of it, and we can't let the thieves make too much trouble, if that's the case, we won't end well, and we will pay too much effort, but the gains outweigh the losses." We can't let the momentum of the anti-thieves be too small, and if the momentum is small, we will get little benefit. ”

Xue Jian trembled with excitement for a while, and asked, "Bluestone City is against thieves and chaos, there is always a reason to do so!!"

That's right, the court asked, why didn't the people of Qingshi City let go of their good days, but they had to expose the rod and cause chaos in the country?

Ma Hechuan spread his hands and said as he should: "Isn't the answer obvious? Now there are anti-thieves from Jiang Jinzhou who killed me, is it possible that the anti-thieves from Jiang Jinzhou will not incite the people of Qingshi City to make trouble?!"

Oh!

Xue Jian looked at Ma Hechuan, who was more than ten years younger than him, and his admiration was overwhelming.

One ring after another.

He wanted to cut open Ma Hechuan's head to see if there were countless bags of tips hidden inside?

There are anti-thieves in Jiang Jinzhou who killed Ma Hechuan, and this matter is a certainty, so that the Jianghu martial arts who celebrated the head of the young general dart caught the anti-thief, beheaded the public, and sent it to the imperial court.

The people of Qingshi City responded to the anti-thieves in Jiangjin Prefecture and caused chaos in Nanyangzhou.

Immediately, the governor and assassin of Nanyangzhou, together with Ma Hechuan, led the troops to quell the rebellion, suppress the rebels, and maintain the great rivers and mountains!

At that time, the prestige of the three of them can be imagined now, it is simply in full swing, and the promotion of officialdom is not a problem!

Such a good plan, hello, everyone, made Xue Jian smile from ear to ear!

Ma Hechuan said with a smile: "Xue Tingshi is a little restless, let's wait for Huo Zhoumu to come back, and we will have a good discussion." ”

Xue Jian waved his hand, "What is there to discuss? Brother Ma's strategy is comparable to the plan of the gods, and all kinds of calculations during the period have made me really embarrassed to be a big brother, and I have lived more than ten years longer than Brother Ma, and I have lived to the dog." ”

"Now that the Great Summer is full of smoke, the anti-thieves in Jiangjinzhou are getting higher and higher day by day, and we will suppress the anti-thieves in Nanyangzhou, and the Son of Heaven will definitely show joy. Ma Hechuan shook the hem of his brocade robe and sat back in his chair.

The servants of the house have replaced the tea with hot ones.

He took a sip of the steaming, fragrant tea, and continued, "The reward is not worth mentioning compared to the favor we have received from the Son of Heaven. ”

Xue Jian was thinking in his heart about how to squeeze the wealthy merchants and wealthy families in Jinlu City after the thieves in Qingshi City began to make trouble, and let them fund the rebellion, and at the same time complimented: "Brother Ma is right, Xu Fengchen's guy, he is young, he is the big red man in front of the Son of Heaven, the official of Daxia, who is not greedy?!"

Speaking of Xu Fengchen.

Ma Hechuan immediately said with a straight face: "Xu Hou is the mandate of heaven appointed by the Son of Heaven!

Xue Jian's hippie face: "Brother Ma, Jinlu City is thousands of miles away from the capital, no matter how powerful Xu Hou is, he can't hear us, right?"

Ma Hechuan said unprecedentedly seriously: "Xue Tingshi, you must not underestimate the martial artists in the world! Especially Xu Hou, Xu Hou is favored by heaven, and he can become the emperor of the Son of Heaven, there must be a reason. ”

Xue Jian immediately shut up, changed the topic, and calmly told what he was thinking just now.

The money of the rebellion, the money of the Jinlu City family, did not move a penny, and it returned to Zhao, and the money of other wealthy businessmen and wealthy families was divided into three or seven accounts.

Ma Hechuan wondered: "Why is it only seventy?"

Xue Jian reminded embarrassedly: "Seventy percent belong to the family. ”

"Oh, I see. Ma Hechuan suddenly realized, "No, I'll take a trip to Nanyangzhou, and the cars and horses will be tiring on the way, and the extra money will let me buy a good horse!"

......

Nalan Changhui didn't have long to leave.

Suddenly turned around.

There was no one behind him.

Under the eaves of the house, there is a bustling and lively street market.

Weird.

Just now, she suddenly felt that someone was following her.

I wondered from the bottom of my heart.

The whim of a half-immortal in the world will definitely not be for no reason.

Nalan Changhui simply stopped and jumped off the eaves.

Pedestrians along the way have avoided one after another.

Surprised to look at such a woman with such a clear and jade temperament.

She walked around, beside the vendor, weighing the knick-knacks.

It really made her find two cute porcelain kittens.

Nalan Changhui bought it.

The peddler was so happy that he couldn't stop laughing.

He deliberately said some more prices, but he didn't expect that this rare beautiful woman didn't bargain and bought it decisively.

Since Nalan Changhui had a difference in his heart, he didn't turn back to Ma Hechuan's new residence.

I found a wonton stall and let the vendor eat a bowl of hot wontons.

The wonton soup is crystal clear, and there are a lot of dried shrimps.

Nalan Changhui couldn't wait to scoop it into his mouth.

Well, it's delicious!

Although she is not used to eating southern food, it is still good to eat it once in a while.

Eat halfway.

Nalan Changhui suddenly raised his head.

The masked man stood not far away, his eyes hidden behind the mask, looking at her without blinking.

Nalan Changhui looked at the masked man whose identity was a mystery, and took the initiative to speak: "I thought you were ...... gone"

She added: "If it weren't for the fact that your martial arts realm was only in the upper realm, maybe you would have followed me again and found Ma Hechuan's current residence." ”

The masked man was generous, and walked to the opposite side of Nalan Changhui without any defense, and sat down.

It's still the tone of a middle-aged man.

"If Miss Nalan wants to kill me, doing it now is the best opportunity. ”

Nalan Changhui tilted his head and looked at his ghost mask.

Truly.

He lost the terrifying power he had when he was in Cangyi Alley.

It's just a martial artist in the upper realm.

The martial arts of the upper realm of the high pavilion are really rare in the big year when geniuses emerge in the rivers and lakes.

Replaced by those first-class, second-rate sects, facing the martial artists of the high pavilion realm, it is like chicken ribs, it is a pity to abandon it, and the food is tasteless.

Nalan Changhui suddenly made a move and took off his ghost mask.

She underestimated the masked man.

Seeing him make any movements, Nalan Changhui's hand seemed to grasp the ghost spirit, and the masked man's head spread out like a hookah, and when she withdrew her hand, she immediately gathered together again.

She sighed: "Good means, the 'gathering and scattering of qi refiners' is like smoke." ”

The masked man chuckled lightly: "Small means." Compared with Miss Nalan's swordsmanship, it is really inconspicuous. ”

Nalan Changhui knew that no matter how much she asked him who he was, the masked man would not say.

Thinking like this, she still looked left and right, raised her mind, and asked cautiously, "General Zhao?"

She thought about it a lot, and the masked man said in Zhao Gouchen's tone, it's me!

The masked man was shocked: "General Zhao, General Zhao Gou Chen, or General Zhao Violent Tiger?"

Needless to say, the former.

The latter is the number of generals in the north.

Brave and unmatched.

He was given the name Violent Tiger by the Son of Heaven himself.

The Son of Heaven said, sex is like fire, power is like a violent tiger, the character can be pressed, but the force can not be pressed, from now on, you will be called a violent tiger.

Nalan Changhui shook his head and lowered his head to eat the remaining half bowl of wontons.

Zhao Que sighed imperceptibly.

He killed a horse pistol, circled, and quietly followed behind Nalan Changhui.

After all, the woman in front of her was Nalan Changhui, and halfway through, she noticed something unusual.

After eating the wontons, I took the soup with the dried shrimp and drank it cleanly.

She wiped her mouth with her sleeve, "I don't want to admit it, the elders in the family do have the idea of marrying me to Ma Hechuan." ”

When Zhao Que left, he said that Ma Hechuan was not worthy of her.

He listened quietly, and there was no trace of anger at all.

Nalan Changhui hiccuped without scruples: "Ma Hechuan has a wife, the elders of the Nalan family, I want to design, let Ma Hechuan take a break from her, and then let him marry me in a beautiful way." I'm Nalan Changhui a handful of old ......"

Speaking of this, she sneered, laughed for a long time, and then said: "It's easy to say, it's also the daughter of the Nalan family, how powerful the Nalan family is, presumably Brother Mask must understand." Ma Hechuan's future is unlimited, the Nalan family took advantage of his promotion, but it was just a girl with good martial arts, but the harvest was immeasurable, and the power expanded again, one day, the Nalan family could shock the inside and outside of the temple with their fingers, and it was not impossible. ”

Zhao Que slowly exhaled, "The Nalan family is a relative, and all the dynasties and dynasties, all the relatives who sit on the big side will not die well." ”

Nalan Changhui said indifferently: "Maybe by then, I will already be dead, that sentence is...... Oh, remember! When I die, let it flood so much?!"

"So, you will marry Ma Hechuan according to the Nalan family's plan?" Zhao Que said calmly.

Nalan Changhui hung his head, and Qingsi rested on the shoulders on either side of her.

It's not like a high-spirited female sword fairy, like a little lady who knows warmth and knows cold.

"Yes, after marrying him, I will kill him with my own hands!"

Nalan Changhui said quietly.

There is not a trace of murder.

Zhao Que tried to ask: "Tell me where Ma Hechuan is now, you don't have to wait until then, I will kill him on your behalf." ”

Nalan Changhui raised his head, looked at the ghost and god pattern of the mask with great interest, and finally shook his head, "If you are General Zhao......"

Suddenly, I couldn't go on.

She said forcefully: "If General Zhao is you, if you kill Ma Hechuan, I will definitely not stop you, but unfortunately, you are not General Zhao, so I will not let you kill Ma Hechuan." ”

Zhao Que sighed faintly: "Are your injuries okay?"

"I don't pay attention to minor injuries. ”

"That's fine, I'm going to take my leave. ”

Nalan Changhui watched as the masked man got up, turned around, and walked away, not seeing.

She.

The heart aches.
