Summary of the previous chapter: While Lu Xian escaped from Chaisang City, Ma Xiaoquan finally decided to "refining" the puppet...
"Lan Ming Holy Fire..." Ma Xiaoquan slowly took two steps forward and murmured in his mouth.
Ma Xiaoquan has always had a question in his mind. Since the Blue Ming Holy Fire can be integrated with the Red Lotus Hegemonic Fire and Green Spirit Fire that he currently masters, and has corresponding characteristics, can the Blue Ming Holy Fire have other characteristics?
Ma Xiaoquan had a brief exchange with Yuan about this question just now, and Yuan's answer was: Ask tomorrow and you will know.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly. It was nice and straightforward to ask Brother Tianxin, but now that he was in the late Han Dynasty, if he went back and asked Brother Tianxin specifically about the characteristics of the Lanming Holy Fire, the project might be a bit huge, right?
"Forget it, it's more fun to do your own research..." Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and looked at the man standing motionless in front of him.
"Are you ready?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
"Yes!"
Upon receiving the response, Ma Xiaoquan nodded, concentrated again, and then gently pulled and threw the two light blue flame ribbons on his hands towards the man.
With two "whooshes", the light blue flame band jumped on the man's body, like a happy elf with self-awareness, running back and forth on the man's body. Then, the flames burned bigger and bigger, and in an instant
Wrapping that person up completely.
"Uh" the man let out a miserable scream, and then lost his voice.
By the time Ma Xiaoquan withdrew the flames, there was already a pool of light blue ashes on the ground.
"It looks like it failed..." Looking at the light blue ashes on the ground, Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips and murmured in his heart.
In his left eye, Yuan also saw what happened, and couldn't help but sigh and echoed Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan took a breath and asked Yuan: "Yuan, tell me...can this Lanming Holy Fire refine people into puppets?"
Yuan thought for a moment and responded: "How do I know that the Lan Ming Holy Fire is a supernatural flame, and its characteristics are the most mysterious among the seven-color flames. Of course, for a fool like you, you only have one of the features of the Lan Ming Holy Fire.
A small number of special abilities, hmm..."
Ma Xiaoquan didn't want to do it anymore: "Hey, hey, just say it, what do you want me to do? I know I don't use the Lan Ming Holy Fire very well, but why can't I hold on to it for a long time now?"
"Okay, don't be so cute. To tell you the truth, you really have to ask Tomorrow Heart whether Lan Ming Holy Fire can refine puppets... By the way, Ma Xiaoquan, haven't you ever seen Tomorrow Heart use it?
The Lan Ming Holy Fire?"
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment and said: "It seems... Hey, I remembered it. I once saw Brother Tianxin use it once..."
"Well, what's going on?"
"Wait a moment...I'll send these Sun Quan's generals away first!"
After coming back to his senses, Ma Xiaoquan ordered Sun Quan's family members to collect the light blue ashes from the ground into a wooden box.
After taking the wooden box, Ma Xiaoquan could still feel the warmth coming from inside the box.
"Okay, you guys go down first. I still have to make a set of tricks, and I can only do it alone..."
A family general said: "Sir, the Lord has ordered us..."
Ma Xiaoquan's eyes widened, and he shook his right hand fiercely, and a crimson flame belt immediately appeared.
"Yes yes yes!"
Although the generals wanted to insist on carrying out the lord's order, the Lord's flames had no eyes! Forget it, life was at stake, anyway, the Lord had already said that it was his alone.
"General, please retire!" Several generals raised their hands to Ma Xiaoquan and slowly retreated.
After all the generals had gone away, Ma Xiaoquan put down the box in his hand and continued to communicate with Yuan.
Yuan asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Ma Xiaoquan, what did you remember? How did Tomorrow Xin use the Lan Ming Holy Fire?"
Ma Xiaoquan sorted out his thoughts and responded: "Well, I remember that Brother Tianxin used it when he was fighting Kuangba... At that time..."
"Kang Ba?" Yuan uttered a sound and interrupted, "Is Kuang Ba one of those people who are against your Extreme Soldiers?"
Ma Xiaoquan replied: "Yes, I have fought against him. His skills are very good. He can be on a tie with me. Compared with Brother Tianxin, he is far behind... but Kuangba's ability is quite abnormal."
Of, um..."
Yuan interrupted again: "Well, I saw from your memory fragments that Kuang Ba's ability is indeed a bit abnormal. No wonder Tomorrow Heart will use the Lan Ming Holy Fire..."
"What? Yuan, could it be that the Lan Ming Holy Fire can only defeat the tyrant's ability?"
"Let's put it this way, have you forgotten that the Lan Ming Holy Fire can burn without oxygen?"
"Oh," Ma Xiaoquan said inwardly, "No wonder Kuangba ran away in the end."
"Stop talking nonsense, Ma Xiaoquan, why is it not in your memory that Tomorrow Heart used the Lan Ming Holy Fire?"
Ma Xiaoquan responded depressedly: "Nonsense, I fainted at that time, how did I know?"
"Then you said you remembered it, Ma Xiaoquan, you liar!"
Ma Xiaoquan: "...Why did I see the blue fire on Brother Tianxin's hand before I fainted? What the hell, that's what I saw, and you're talking about me, how could you just steal my memory?"
See?"
Yuan said disdainfully: "In your left eye, of course I can share your memory at any time, except for that area of course!"
Ma Xiaoquan pursed his lips: "Okay, now you know."
Yuan suggested: "Ma Xiaoquan, why don't you go back and ask if you feel better tomorrow? I'm sure I will tell you tomorrow."
Ma Xiaoquan retorted: "Come on, brother Tianxin told me to wait until I have mastered the Lanming Holy Fire. If I ask him for advice now, isn't that asking for abuse?"
"coward!"
"What do you know? It's called a man who knows the current affairs and is a hero!"
"big eater!"
"A loser? Fart, I didn't eat much, did I?"
"inability!"
"Ci'ao, Yuan, if I didn't take you to say this about me, how could I be incompetent?"
...
In the second month of the spring of the eighteenth year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's army pressed into Ruxukou and attacked Sun Quan with an army of 400,000.
After the defeats of Chibi and Wulin last time, Cao Cao's offensive line this time was very strange. Not only did he pay great attention to fire prevention, but he also specially trained a large group of Jingzhou naval forces.
Jingzhou's navy was not weaker than Sun Quan's Jiangdong navy. When the two naval armies fought, Sun Quan's army immediately felt the pressure. In addition, the number of soldiers was inferior to that of Cao's army, and Sun Quan's Jiangxi camp was defeated by Cao's army.
But... after a little time, Cao Jun immediately revealed his logistical inadequacies.
Although he used his own navy to defeat Sun Quan's front navy, Sun Quan's rear force immediately stopped the decline after the main force from the rear came up.
Sun Quan personally led 70,000 troops against Cao's army. The two sides went back and forth, and the confrontation lasted for a month...
Inside the east camp of Jiangdong Army's Ruxukou.
Sun Quan sat in the coach's seat, carefully studying the information Tan Ma had just sent.
"Well" Sun Quan frowned and handed the information to Ma Xiaoquan beside him, "Master Shangxian, what do you think?"
Ma Xiaoquan reluctantly took the information and read it.
Originally, Ma Xiaoquan was going to leave after solving Chai Sang's matter, but unfortunately, Cao Cao suddenly launched a large-scale attack and completely blocked the main water route.
Although you can choose to take a small road or a more remote waterway back to the north, it will take a long time.
Ma Xiaoquan was worried about Lu Xian's next move. After discussing with Yuan and calculating the time, he finally decided to stay in Jiangdong temporarily and wait for Cao Cao and Sun Quan to finish the war before returning to the north.
Sun Quan was very happy when he heard that Master Shangxian would not leave for the time being. He said that he would drag Master Shangxian to fight with him no matter what.
Ma Xiaoquan understood what Sun Quan meant. Since the last assassination attempt by Lu Xian failed, Sun Quan has been worried about his own safety. Although his bodyguards are very capable, Master Shangxian is even stronger. With Master Shangxian by his side, then
Wouldn’t your own safety be more secure?
...
"Well..." After reading the information, Ma Xiaoquan casually put it away and said, "Zhongmou, from this point of view, Xiao Cao... oh no, Cao Cao should not be far away from withdrawing his troops.
."
Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard this and asked quickly: "Sir, are you serious about what you said?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Well, yes, Cao Cao can't be defeated now, and you can't attack him either. It's a waste of time to do this. Why don't you write him a letter and ask him to retreat."
"Ah?" Sun Quan was shocked, "I wrote? And asked Cao Cao to withdraw his troops? Lord Shangxian, are you kidding me?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Of course not!"
Sun Quan squinted his eyes, suddenly changed his expression and said, "Master Shangxian, have you thought of something again?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "You guy...haha..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled like this, and the meaning was self-evident. Of course, Ma Xiaoquan did not say it, but what Sun Quan thought was his business.
Sun Quan didn't hesitate, and immediately ordered someone to bring in pen and ink, casually pulled a piece of cloth from his clothes, and started writing.
...
An hour later, Sun Quan laughed and handed the written letter to Ma Xiaoquan to read.
"Oh?" Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows after reading the letter and said with a smile, "Well, Sun Zhongmou, if you write like this, aren't you afraid that Cao Cao will risk his life to fight you?"
Sun Quan chuckled: "Cao Cao would definitely not do this if Master Shangxian is here, haha..."
Ma Xiaoquan pointed at Sun Quan: "You kid, okay, you write it like this, why does it look like it was written by me? Just send it to Cao Cao like this."
