Niudan's injury was not too serious. Although a small part of his tongue was cut off, most of it was still in his mouth. Ma Xiaoquan thought about it. In this case, if he recovers and trains, he may still be able to speak. Of course, because
My tongue is not long enough, so I may not be able to pronounce words clearly.
"Well, the injury is not serious. It can be treated. Come on, open your mouth wider. I'll give you some medicine. Just bear with it."
Niu Dan nodded and said um from his throat. Ma Xiaoquan felt a little sad when he heard that. This kid...
After briefly treating the wound, Ma Xiaoquan untied the rope from Niudan's body, patted his shoulder, and helped him up.
...
In the next few days, Ma Xiaoquan took good care of Niu Dan. After all, Niu Dan was young and often ran around in the mountains. His injuries recovered quickly. Of course, because his tongue was missing half of his tongue, in most cases
, you can only drink some rice soup to satisfy your hunger.
On the tenth day, Ma Xiaoquan checked Niu Dan's injury and after confirming that it was nothing serious, he decided to continue traveling and return to the capital.
Since Niu Dan had not fully recovered and had injured his tongue, Niu Dan listened to what Ma Xiaoquan had to say for the rest of the journey.
Originally, because of his injury, the "uncle" in Niu Dan's heart was delayed for ten days. During those ten days, the uncle had to take care of him. This gave Niu Dan a very firm belief that in this life,
I am absolutely loyal to my uncle.
...
While Ma Xiaoquan walked back, Wei Zhongxian did not stop. The Donglin Party seemed to have been wiped out by him, but in fact there were still many survivors. Of course, because of Wei Zhongxian's high-pressure posture, the remaining party members turned to underground operations one after another.
Wei Zhongxian actually knew about the existence of the remnant forces of the Donglin Party, but he believed that those people could no longer become a threat, so he did not kill them all. What he wanted to do was... to make money and then control the power of the government.
Wei Zhongxian felt very regretful in his heart. Long before he cut off the fireman who entered the palace (the lowest level of eunuch, similar to a fireman), he had a family, a wife and a daughter. Unfortunately, he lost his wife because he was fond of gambling.
His daughter was also sold by him.
Thinking about it now, Wei Zhongxian always felt uneasy. As he got older day by day, it became easier for him to think about selling his daughter.
Finally, Wei Zhongxian made up his mind and sent someone to find his daughter. If found, he would bring her back.
It's just that... too much time has passed. I sold my daughter on impulse without asking who she sold it to. Now I'm afraid it's hard to find her.
Just when Wei Zhongxian was at a loss what to do, some subordinates from outside asked for a meeting, saying that they had something important to report about Ma Xiaoquan.
When he heard that it was Ma Xiaoquan's matter, Wei Zhongxian could only put aside his daughter's matters for the time being and called in his subordinates from outside.
After seeing Wei Zhongxian, his subordinates knelt on the ground with a bang. Regardless of the dirt and smell on their bodies, they hugged Wei Zhongxian's feet and cried: "Master Wei, you must seek justice for me...
....Li Zongyu and the others are dead, dead..."
"What?" Wei Zhongxian stood up in shock when he heard that Li Zongyu was dead, "You said Li Zongyu was dead, what happened?"
The subordinate said: "We...we met Ma Xiaoquan, but...but he had too many people around him, dozens of them, and we were no match for him...
.In the end, I was the only one left to escape..."
This subordinate was one of the three people who had been with Li Zongyu before, and he was also the one who fainted after being kicked down by Ma Xiaoquan and hitting his head on a stone.
This man was lucky enough. When he woke up, Ma Xiaoquan and the others had already left for a long time. This man also walked forward, found the long tree root, and climbed up along the root.
Because of fear, this man did not dare to enter the village again. He ran all the way begging and stole a horse from somewhere during the process. Otherwise, he would not have been able to rush back to the capital so quickly to report the news to Wei Zhongxian.
It’s just that what Wei Zhongxian hates most are incompetent people. If he says that even four of his own people can’t beat Ma Xiaoquan, no matter what the reason, Wei Zhongxian will definitely kick him out, so he made up Ma Xiaoquan and dozens of people, and they
Less people suffer...
Wei Zhongxian thought for a while and asked: "Li Zongyu is also dead, so what kind of assassins' alliance did he talk about before...didn't anyone kill Ma Xiaoquan?"
"Master Wei, we have sent people from the Assassin's League, but Ma Xiaoquan is too difficult to kill. He recruits his subordinates all the way. As long as one dies, he will recruit two..."
"I see..." Wei Zhongxian sighed, "So, Ma Xiaoquan can't be killed, that's all. If you can't kill him, then you can't kill him." Wei Zhongxian said lightly.
"Master Wei, you...aren't you worried...that Ma Xiaoquan will cause trouble for you when he comes back?"
Wei Zhongxian sneered: "He's not that capable yet. Besides, the Assassin's Alliance was established through contact with Li Zongyu, and it has nothing to do with me, Wei Zhongxian. Now that Li Zongyu is dead, don't give me anything about the alliance or not."
I said, um, by the way, just go ahead and take care of Li Zongyu’s family matters, don’t treat his family badly, do you hear me?”
"Yes, yes~~"
...
After his men left, Wei Zhongxian frowned, called another spy, and asked: "The Ma family... is that red-headed woman there?"
"Reply to Mr. Wei, here you are~"
Wei Zhongxian's eyebrows twitched, and he waved his hands and said: "Okay, I understand, well, that lustful woman from his Ma family is the side room where Ma Xiaoquan was admitted, and the one who helped him manage the Ma family's bank, is she there?
at home?"
"Back to Mr. Wei, are you aware of this? That woman with lustful eyes is at the bank every day."
"Well, okay, then, you can find a way to catch that woman for me..."
"Yes~~"
...
In the Ma family courtyard.
Beiming Shuangxue was holding a book of medical skills, reading and tinkering with the herbal branches in her hands.
Beside Beiming Shuangxue sat Mrs. Ma.
There was no communication between the two, but Mrs. Ma did not dare to move.
"Xiao Mei...it's been so many days, and grandma just wants to go out..." Mrs. Ma said with a wry smile.
Beiming Shuangxue put down her book, looked at Mrs. Ma, and said with a smile: "Really? Grandma, where are you going? My granddaughter-in-law will accompany you."
"No, no, no, no need...grandma just wants to go out for a walk..."
"Oh, this can't be done. Grandma, my husband told me before he left. If you want to go out, my granddaughter-in-law must accompany you. Your arms and legs are old and you can't walk too far...
....”
"Pa~" Mrs. Ma slammed the table and said, "Don't I have any freedom at all?"
Beiming Shuangxue picked up the teacup unhurriedly, took a sip, then put down the teacup and said: "Grandma, it wasn't my grandson who told you, well, it should be said that your husband said that you should go out to see Tian Er.
Geng, right? You also know that there is something wrong with your husband and Tian’s family, but you still insist on seeing him. Isn’t this inappropriate?"
Madam Ma was stunned and pretended not to understand what Beiming Shuangxue meant: "What Tian Ergeng? Are you talking about Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyi Guards?"
"Yes, or is there a second one? Grandma, it's not that my granddaughter-in-law is talking about you. You have already thought about it. My grandson-in-law has never said anything about it, just to give you a chance to think about it.
I think...now, my grandson's daughter-in-law doesn't want to bear it anymore. How should I put it? How much effort my husband (Ma Xiaoquan) has put into this Ma family. Grandma, you don't know. Don't worry about who my husband's true identity is.
, at least in the capital, who else, except Wei Zhongxian, dares to act wild in front of Ma's house? My father and mother are guarding the border in Ningyuan, Liaodong, and are beyond our reach. If our family is bullied, who else but my husband will do it?
Can you help our family?"
Madam Ma exhaled and fell silent.
"Also, grandma's daughter-in-law doesn't understand what grandma wants to do with Tian Ergeng? But grandma's daughter-in-law has one request. We can handle the Ma family's affairs ourselves...Grandma, what you did before is actually fair to me.
We all know, but my husband doesn’t want to care about it... You said that your little grandson died unjustly, so why don’t you think about why he died? There is no resurrection after death, grandma, you understand this much better than your grandson-in-law.
, so I hope grandma will think twice, okay, that’s all I have to say, and I won’t worry about you anymore. I haven’t slept much these days. I’ve been thinking about fighting with you all day long. I also
I'm a little tired." After saying that, Beiming Shuangxue stood up and left slowly.
...
After walking behind the door, Beiming Shuangxue did not leave, but stood quietly.
She was accompanied by a little maid. This maid was brought by her from Beimingshi's home and she was regarded as her personal maid.
Mrs. Ma sat on the chair without moving. Her eyes were dull, as if she was thinking about something.
"Miss, what will happen if grandma really leaves? My uncle has settled down and won't let grandma go out." The maid whispered to Bei Mingshuangxue.
Bei Ming Shuangxue smiled softly: "Don't worry, grandma won't leave. She has done many things wrong. If she still persists in it, I'm afraid I won't be so generous anymore. I've been weak for so many days.
It’s almost done and it’s time to use force, but I don’t want to use force.”
"Oh~"
Beiming Shuangxue nodded and asked the maid: "Why are you here?"
The maid whispered: "Miss, Miss Lisa just sent someone a message, saying that she bought a lot of very good rouge. She was going to deliver it to you, Miss, but the account was not reconciled, so she didn't come...
