() Ma Changxing, who returned home, was sullen, and he was biased against Li Xiulan at a critical moment. "She picked up guests last night, why did she suddenly feel unwell in the morning?" he paced up and down the room anxiously.

Mrs. Ma walked into the room and put a plate of fruit on the table: "Husband, why did you come back so soon?

Ma Changxing shook his head and told what had happened. Mrs. Ma thought for a while after hearing this, and said, "Husband, you are smart all your life, and you are confused for a while. How could the person who picked up the guest last night suddenly feel unwell, she obviously avoided and didn't want to see you. ”

"She doesn't want to see me, and she doesn't know me, why doesn't she want to see me?" Ma Changxing was confused by his wife.

Madame pursed her lips and smiled: "She doesn't know you, but someone knows you." It's okay for her to see you, but someone doesn't want to see you. ”

Ma Changxing patted his head and suddenly realized: "Yes, thank you for your advice." After speaking, he rushed out of the door eagerly and returned to Xiaoyaojin non-stop, but this time he was not alone, but with dozens of family members, he drove all the way to the door of Xiaoyaojin. The old bustard was about to close the door, but he was startled when he saw this posture: "Master Ma, you are ......"

Ma Changxing didn't say a word, he directly took out a dagger and put it on the old bustard's neck, and forced him to ask: "Tell me quickly, which room is Li Xiulan's room? If you don't say it, I will kill you, and then find it room by room!"

The old bustard was so frightened that he trembled like chaff, and pointed with his hand tremblingly: "The fifth room on the third and third floors ......"

Ma Changxing waved his hand, and the family department spread out and formed a circle around Xiaoyaojin. These family members are all tigers and bears, and they all have guys in their hands, swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and branches, and there is no shortage of everything. Then, Ma Changxing took two family members into Xiaoyaojin.

When I came to the door of the fifth room on the third floor, I saw a small sign hanging on the door, saying "Xiulan", this is right. Ma Changxing pushed the door open.

The room is very large, among which there is a table full of melons and fruits and snacks, there is a bronze mirror dresser by the window, and next to it is a huge mandarin duck bed, and there is a woman lying in the big red flower quilt on the bed. Hearing the door open, the woman sat up and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

There is no doubt that this woman must be Li Xiulan, Ma Changxing took a closer look, she looked quite good. It's just that her face is ruddy, not like she is in poor health.

"You're Li Xiulan, right? Let me ask you, do you know where Luo Huailiang is?" asked Ma Changxing.

"I don't know, Luo Gongzi hasn't been here for a long time. ”

"When was the last time he came?Did he tell you where he was going?When will he come again?" Ma Changxing asked again.

Li Xiulan frowned and thought for a while, and replied, "The last time Luo Gongzi came here was more than two months ago. He didn't tell me where he was going or when he would come back. ”

Ma Changxing's eyes narrowed, and he changed the topic: "Miss Li, I heard that the pious woman said that you picked up a guest last night, why did you say that you were unwell early this morning?"

"Last night's guest was a businessman, and he left before dawn, I got up and finished cleaning up the room, and suddenly felt dizzy, maybe the weather was cold and cold. Li Xiulan said, coughing twice.

Ma Changxing walked to the Eight Immortals table and sat down, and said slowly: "That's strange, since you have cleaned up the room, why haven't the teacups and teapots on this table been put away yet?"

"Oh, that's what I drank when I was thirsty just now. Li Xiulan was slightly uneasy.

Ma Changxing touched the teapot: "That's strange, since the girl is infected with the wind and cold, why do you drink herbal tea?"

"Ahh......h

"Since the tea is cold, it seems that the girl shouldn't have the tea she drank just now, did she remember the wrong time?" Ma Changxing reminded Li Xiulan instead.

Li Xiulan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw: "Ah, yes, yes, I should have drunk it in the early hours of the morning, I remembered the wrong time, I remembered the wrong ......"

With a "bang", Ma Changxing suddenly slapped the table fiercely, which scared Li Xiulan into a tremble: "Don't pretend anymore, you drink tea by yourself, and you want to use two cups?"

There is a tent hanging down along the edge of the mandarin duck bed to cover the bed. The two family members stepped forward and opened it, but it was empty.

Ma Changxing smiled, walked to the bed in person, kicked hard at the edge of the bed, and shouted, "Give me down!"

"Poof", a person really fell from the edge of the bed. He got out of the bed, nodded his head, bowed to Ma Changxing with a smile on his face, and said, "Master Ma, what are you looking for me." ”

This person is Luo Huailiang, the edge of the mandarin duck bed is very wide, he just used his hands and feet to support the edge of the bed and stick it under the bed board, no wonder he lifted the tent and couldn't see anyone.

Ma Changxing heard Li Xiulan say that Luo Huailiang was in the future for more than two months, and he knew that she was lying. Obviously, he bought a piece of five-dipper star silk from Luo Huailiang a few days ago. According to Luo Huailiang's temperament, how could he not come to Li Xiulan to have some fun when he got money? Ma Changxing paid close attention while talking, and found that the only thing that could hide people in the room was under the bed. Luo Huailiang was a tomb robber, with a thin stature, and he could hide his figure in a small space, so Ma Changxing knew that he must be hiding against the bed board as soon as he guessed.

Luo Huai's conscience was uneasy. Before, with his exceptionally keen hearing, he heard the sound of the door of Xiaoyaojin. Seeing Ma Changxing leading people into the building to find Li Xiulan, he immediately guessed that Ma Changxing's target was actually himself. Originally, he wanted to push open the window and jump off the building to escape, but there was a circle of family members below, and he had no choice but to hide under the bed. I don't want Ma Changxing to be thoughtful and find out so quickly.

Looking at the grizzled Luo Huailiang, Ma Changxing was angry and funny: "Why are you avoiding me? I have something important to discuss with you!"

Luo Huailiang was startled at first, then rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Looking at the Ma family master's menacing appearance, of course I am afraid." I've been a grave robber for a long time, and I'm a little timid, hehe. ”

"Alright, let's get down to business. Let me ask you, the last time you sold my things, you robbed the tomb, right? Ma Changxing asked solemnly.

"That's it. Yes, I'll sell you the remaining two. Luo Huailiang said with a smile.

"Two pieces, didn't you sell one to Niu Chengchang? Why are there two left?"

Ma Changxing was puzzled.

Luo Huailiang patted his head: "Ah, yes, yes, look at my memory, there is only one piece left." Well, I'll fetch it for you now, and you just have to give me half of the money I paid for the previous time." ”

Ma Changxing nodded and said, "I'll go with you." He gave Li Xiulan and Lao Bustard a gold ingot, and then left Xiaoyaojin with Luo Huailiang in a hurry.

Luo Huailiang took Ma Changxing around the city, and finally came to a dry well. Luo Huailiang looked around vigilantly, then jumped into the dry well. After a while, he crawled out, clutching a piece of white silk in his hand.

Ma Changxing happily took the white silk and tried it with a dagger, but it was not cut, and he pulled it vigorously without tearing it. He carefully folded the white silk and put it in his chest.

"Only 10,000 taels this time?" Ma Changxing asked.

"Yes, only 10,000 taels is enough, hehe. ”

Ma Changxing took out two silver tickets worth five thousand taels and handed them to Luo Huailiang.

Luo Huailiang took it and kissed the silver ticket: "Master Ma, then I'll say goodbye first." Happy cooperation, hahaha!" With that, he trotted away.

The matter was finally done, and a total of 30,000 silver taels were spent to buy two pieces of five-dipper star silk. "It's good that my brain is spinning fast, so it's okay now. Ma Changxing was in a good mood and went home humming a little song.

......

A few days later, Ma Changxing returned to the Yanwang Mansion in Fuzhou.

Yan Guangyu's appearance seemed a little sullen. After the greetings, Ma Changxing asked cautiously, "I don't know what worries Lord Yan?"

"Don't mention it. The two girls who were sent back to Yang's house were secretly let go by Haolin that night! In the past few days, I have sent people everywhere to find them, and I don't know where to hide. Did you go back and find that Luo Huailiang this time?" Yan Guangyu asked.

Yan Haolin is the third son of King Guangxing. "The third prince of Yan is really kind-hearted...... Ma Changxing said in his heart. Thinking of the salvation of two beautiful girls, his mood unconsciously became happy. "Lord Wang, Luo Huailiang has already seen it. I know what the prince wants, and I have already bought the last piece of the five-dipper star silk from him, and I have come to present it to the prince. Ma Changxing took out the squarely folded white silk from his arms and presented it with both hands.

Yan Guangyu immediately tested it, it was as tough as the previous two, and he nodded with satisfaction. How to deal with the three pieces of Five Dou Star Silk, he has already made a plan. One exchanged a few immortal swords with the Chiri Sect, and the other exchanged some pills with the Taiqing Sect. If you get the last piece, you will exchange a few sword books with the Yeli Sect. With these things, although you can't live as long as an immortal cultivator, you shouldn't have any problem living for another twenty or thirty years. The fairy sword and the sword book are things that can be passed down forever, and it is best to benefit the descendants of the Yan family.

"Okay, the 'Dried Fish' and the City Lord of Muzhou are all yours. However, don't go too far with sheep and cattle. I'll fix a letter in a while, and you can go back and bring it to the lord of the city." After all, Yan Guangyu received precious gifts from the other two, and he didn't want Ma Changxing to do things absolutely after he took the throne.

"The prince can rest assured. Ma Changxing was overjoyed, after spending so much effort and money, the great work was finally done!

At this moment, someone suddenly came to report that Muzhou Niu Chengchang came to see him, and Yan Guangyu agreed. Suddenly, Niu Chengchang walked into the Yanfu living room with a spring breeze.

Seeing that Ma Changxing was also there, Niu Chengchang nodded with a smile, and then bowed deeply to Yan Guangyu: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, I have found what the prince wants." ”

"Oh, what is it?" Yan Guangyu guessed in his heart, didn't he find those two beauties?

Niu Chengchang took out something from his arms, presented it, and deliberately glanced at Ma Changxing on the side, and said proudly: "It is the last piece of five-dipper star silk!"

"What?" Yan Guangyu and Ma Changxing were both taken aback. Yan Guangyu hurriedly took the white silk, scratched, torn, and burned, and there was no trace at all.

"What's going on?" Yan Guangyu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, the four pieces of silk cloth he received had already been tested by himself, wasn't there only five pieces of star silk? But there were five buckets in the five sides, and it was impossible to have more.

"Lord Wang, maybe one of them is the six-star silk of the Southern Dipper or the four-star silk of the Western Dipper that has been found for a long time, right?" After thinking about it, Ma Changxing felt that there was only this possibility.

"What's going on, Ma Family Master?" Niu Chengchang didn't see the disappointed look on Ma Changxing's face as expected, and couldn't help but be puzzled.

"Master Niu, could you have bought this piece of silk from Luo Huailiang again?" asked Ma Changxing.

Niu Chengchang nodded: "Ten days ago, my subordinates found Luo Huailiang in Muzhou, and I spent a lot of money to buy this last piece of treasure silk from him. Is there anything wrong?"

Ma Changxing secretly calculated in his heart that it was ten days ago that he found Luo Huailiang in Xiaoyaojin, and it seemed that Niu Chengchang found him after he separated from Luo Huailiang. How could he take out a piece of five-dipper star silk and sell it to Niu Chengchang? Suddenly, a strange sentence that Luo Huailiang had said that day appeared in Ma Changxing's mind: "Why don't I sell you the remaining two pieces." At that time, he really thought that Luo Huailiang was misremembering, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Ma Changxing became more and more uneasy, Luo Huailiang, a small tomb robber, actually owned four pieces of five-dipper star silk, isn't it too strange?" "Owner of the Niu family, before you found Luo Huailiang, I also just bought a piece of five-dipper star silk from him!" he said anxiously.

"Okay, don't talk about it. This matter still has to ask the immortal cultivators to take a look, before that, the matter of 'Baiwei Dried Fish' and the Muzhou City Lord will be put aside for a while. Master of the Niu family, you immediately help me to find that Luo Huailiang, and remember to bring him to see me! Master Ma, after you go back, help me find the two daughters of the Yang family in Muzhou, my people are not familiar with Muzhou, and I can't trust the people of the Yang family. Yan Guangyu ordered.

What he thought was foolproof turned around again, Ma Changxing hated Luo Huailiang to death in his heart, and he really didn't know what the hell he was doing, and where he got so many Five Dou Star Silks.

Yan Guangyu asked him to find the whereabouts of Yang Huiqi and Yang Huilin, but he couldn't make up his mind, so he went home and told his wife in detail about the matter. Mrs. Ma shook her head again and again: "No." Fame and fortune, we are destined to get it. I can't sleep well to do things that violate my conscience for the sake of future power. Yan Sangong

Zi risked his life and released the two girls, and I couldn't bear to send them both back to the fire pit. ”

Ma Changxing sighed: "I can't bear it either." I'll go to Yang Yucheng to discuss, I'm afraid he doesn't know about this yet. ”

Yang Yucheng's head hurts, and his wife has ignored him for almost a month. These days, as soon as he closes his eyes, the mournful eyes of his two daughters will appear in his mind. He regretted it very much, regretted that he had been confused by money and power.

Suddenly, after hearing the report of Ma Changxing's visit, Yang Yucheng cheered up and came to the living room.

Ma Changxing got straight to the point: "The head of the Yang family, your two daughters were secretly let go by Yan Sangongzi, you quickly send someone to find it!"

Yang Yucheng was stunned for a long time, hugged Ma Changxing's shoulders ecstatically, and said loudly: "Is this true?

Ma Changxing said angrily: "What did I lie to you about such a big thing? Lord Yan also asked me to come to find those two girls!"

Yang Yucheng was anxious: "Master Ma, please, if you find my daughter, you must send it to my house first!"

"Send it to your house, what, so that you can send it to Lord Yan again?" Ma Changxing said, "I didn't say you, you don't care about your daughter's happiness like this, it's too lacking in virtue!"

Yang Yucheng burst into tears: "How could it be? Master Ma, I can't hide it, I've been regretting it all these days." I used to be a ghost, but now how can I repeat the same mistakes! I will definitely hide them at home when I find them!"

"It's like being a father. I will send someone to help you find your daughter together, but you have to think carefully about how to settle your two daughters in the future. If Yan Guangyu knew the whereabouts of the two of them, it is estimated that he would still come to ask for someone. ”

"Thank you, thank you...... Master Ma, I have thought it out these days, my Yang family has officially withdrawn from the competition for 'dried Baiwei fish', if the head of the Ma family becomes the city lord in the future, I just hope that we will not be too harsh on our Yang family!" Yang Yucheng's tone was extremely sincere.

Ma Changxing agreed and patted Yang Yucheng on the shoulder.

......

"What? is this fake?" Yan Guangyu exclaimed.

Taiqing Sect Master Li Yuanxiao nodded: "This piece is not a Five Dou Star Silk at all. ”

"How come? I've already tried, the dagger can't be broken, the hard tear can't be torn, and the candle can't burn!" Yan Guangyu couldn't believe it.

"The five stars are scratched but not broken, which means that nothing can be broken. I'll show you. Li Yuanxiao spread the white silk on the table, took out the fairy sword and swiped it gently, and the white silk was neatly cut along with the table!" "You see, the material of this silk cloth is indeed tough, and it can resist the cutting of mortal weapons, but it can't be when it encounters a fairy sword." ”

"Then, what about these three pieces?" Yan Guangyu took out three pieces of white silk from his arms and put them on another table.

Li Yuanxiao picked up a piece, touched it gently, shook his head, grabbed the two pairs of corners of the white silk, pulled it hard, and with a "hiss", the white silk cracked from it. Yan Guangyu was shocked: "Sect Master Li has a lot of strength......

Li Yuanxiao smiled slightly, picked up another piece of white silk, gathered the spiritual power in his palm, forced it out of his palm, and the blazing spiritual power flame directly burned the white silk to ashes.

In the last piece, Li Yuanxiao only glanced at it and shook his head: "These three pieces are not either." I have to say that the material of these pieces of white silk is very special, and it should be woven with a material called 'fire silk silk'. This material is derived from ore, is very tough, and is not afraid of ordinary fire. However, its size and feel are different from the Five Douxing Silk, and it is fake at first glance. ”

Yan Guangyu sat back in his chair in disappointment and slapped the table heavily, the beautiful ideas of the fairy sword, pill, and sword book in his heart were all in vain.

At this time, Zhu Honglie, the Red Sun Sect Master, and Guo Yunchao, the Yeli Sect Master, walked into the Yan Mansion together.

"Lao Li, it turns out that you are also here. Guo Yunchao greeted him with a smile as soon as they met.

Zhu Honglie also nodded: "I guessed that the other person was you." ”

Li Yuanxiao smiled helplessly: "It's a pity that in vain, the four pieces of silk of Lord Yan are all fake." ”

Zhu Honglie glanced at the white silk that had been cut on the ground and asked, "Fire Cloth?"

Li Yuanxiao nodded. At first, when he received Yan Guangyu's letter, he suspected that the silk cloth was fake. The Five-Star Silk of the Eastern Dipper is obviously in the Taiqing Sect, the six-star Silk of the Southern Dipper is still in the Tianyun Sect, and the four-star Silk of the Western Dipper has been brought into the Jinge Cave, how could Yan Guangyu find four pieces of Five-Star Silk of the Five Dipper? The clues of the Big Dipper Seven Star Silk and the Middle Dipper Three Star Silk were not found for a long time, and the immortal cultivators were very anxious, so Zhu Honglie and Guo Yunchao also took the time to take a look.

The next person suddenly came to report, and the three heads of the family, Muzhou horses, cows, and sheep, asked to see each other outside the door.

Yan Guangyu stood up "Teng": "Just in time! Call them in!" Then he said to Li Yuanxiao and the others: "The three sect masters sit down for a while, these people are the ones who presented fake silk to me!"

As soon as the three of them entered the hall, Yan Guangyu shouted loudly: "You are so bold, you dare to use fake silk to tease this king!"

Ma Changxing and Niu Chengchang saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly knelt down: "Lord Yan, we don't know!"

Although it didn't matter to Yang Yucheng, he saw Yan Guangyu's thunder and anger, and hurriedly knelt down together.

Yan Guangyu just wanted to scold a few more words, but Zhu Honglie persuaded: "Lord Yan, don't blame them too much. After all, people without spiritual power can't distinguish the truth from the fake at all. ”

Yan Guangyu swallowed the words to his lips again, so he had to nod yes. In fact, of course he knew in his heart that Ma Changxing and Niu Chengchang couldn't be blamed for this, and even he didn't recognize it as fake. It's just that he is angry in his heart and wants to take the opportunity to vent. "Since Sect Master Zhu intercedes for you, I will spare you, you get up. However, that Luo Huailiang, I will definitely not let him go. Where is he?"

Niu Chengchang said: "Lord Wang, after I went back, I turned Muzhou upside down and didn't find him, and I also sent someone to look for him in the nearby state city, but I still didn't find any trace of him." ”

"It's useless...... After you go back, continue to look for it, and I will send someone to look for it together, I don't believe it, can he still go to heaven and earth?" Yan Guangyu said hatefully.

Yan Guangyu saw Yang Yucheng behind the horse and the cow, and just wanted to ask about Yang Huiqi and Yang Huilin, but was surprised to see four figures walking into the hall.
