Summary of the previous chapter: Zi Chen, the head of the Zi family, suddenly visited and made a four-party agreement with Ma Xiaoquan...
After watching Zichen leave, Ma Xiaoquan immediately unfolded the last piece of information and read it.
In the intelligence, Zichen briefly described Long Er's recent movements and made a brief analysis. At the end of the intelligence, Zichen also wrote down some of his action suggestions.
After reading the information, Ma Xiaoquan felt both admiration and emotion.
Madam Hua Yuexin once said that among the wealthy and reclusive families, the Zi family is the most mysterious. Today... Judging from this information, the Zi family is really powerful.
Ma Xiaoquan, who had suffered two losses in the Lu family mansion, knew how difficult Long Er was to deal with, but in the eyes of the Zi family, he was like a child. It must be said that the Zi family's intelligence gathering ability is very powerful, and Zi family
My family members are also very talented.
Fortunately, the Zi family and his Ma family did not have a holiday, otherwise... Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this.
Zichen helped him collect intelligence, and did so carefully. This was also an indirect way of forcing Ma Xiaoquan to compromise. If Ma Xiao did not agree, Ma Xiaoquan would have to step in as a father to oppress his son.
"Hey" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head helplessly. After all, he was too anxious. This old guy Zichen is really cunning.
"That's all," Ma Xiaoquan sighed, "That's it, maybe it's not such a bad thing in the end. Since the Zi family is so mysterious and powerful, so many allies are better than one more enemies..."
...
According to the information provided by Zichen, if you want to kill Long Er and destroy the Lu family mansion smoothly, you must customize some tools. Since the Zi family has no stronghold in Nanyang County, Zichen is helpless in this matter.
Ma Xiaoquan felt that Zichen had already done a good job. With the Zi family's ability and background in detecting information, Zichen's suggestion should be correct.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and decided to go out and find someone to make tools now.
...
Ma Xiaoquan's actions attracted Long Er's attention. Although Ma Xiaoquan's current identity is "Mao Gang", Long Er always felt that Ma Xiaoquan's identity was unknown. Long Er believed that even if Ma Xiaoquan was not pretending to be Ma Xiaoquan, he must be Ma Xiaoquan.
of minions.
In the evening, when his subordinates reported Ma Xiaoquan's movements during the day to Long Er, Long Er immediately confirmed his idea.
"Hey, this Mao Gang must be Ma Xiaoquan's minion. Damn it, it's really hard for us to be on guard! Someone is here."
"My subordinate is here!"
The corner of Long Er's lips raised: "Get ready, we are going to pay a visit to this Mao Gang tonight, hum."
"yes!"
...
While Long Er was preparing, Ma Xiaoquan was also preparing. According to Zi Chen's suggestion, the tools should be made within three days, but Ma Xiaoquan felt that three days was too long, so Ma Xiaoquan spent more money on this.
, and let the blacksmiths who took orders work overnight.
"Huh" lying on the bed, Ma Xiaoquan gently closed his eyes.
It has been more than half a year since he came to Nanyang County. During these six months, Ma Xiaoquan was very dissatisfied with his performance. First, he was dragged up the mountain by his master to nurse him back to health. Let’s not talk about it. Then, because of the sudden change of Lan Ming Sheng Huo,
After advancing, I had to temporarily make peace with Long Er. It took too much time to go back and forth.
"No, no, I have to explore the Lu family mansion again. If the internal structure diagram Zichen gave me is wrong, I can make changes." After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan rolled up from the bed and changed his body.
Dressed in black, he rushed out of the door.
As soon as the door was closed, Zichen appeared unexpectedly.
"Eh? Master Zi, why haven't you left yet?"
Zichen shook his head and said: "Master Shangxian, please go somewhere with me."
Ma Xiaoquan couldn't refuse. After all, it was Ma Xiaoquan's own idea to explore the internal structure of the Lu family mansion. If Zi Chen knew about it, wouldn't it mean that he didn't trust his ability?
"Well, okay"
...
Half an hour later, Long Er led his men and quietly arrived at the private house where Ma Xiaoquan was staying temporarily.
There was light in the room, and it looked like there was someone there from the outside. Long Er thought for a moment and decided to wait for a while.
Before he was sure whether Mao Gang was Ma Xiaoquan or Ma Xiaoquan's minion, Long Er was still very cautious.
After approaching the house, Long Eryi waved his hand, and his men shot poisonous arrows mixed with anesthetic into the house.
The sound of whooshing kept sounding, but there was never any movement in the room.
"It's strange." Long Er narrowed his eyes slightly, "The anesthetics I prepared will emit smells. Those smells are equivalent to the anesthetics on poisonous arrows... Logically speaking, there should be movement in the room.
Yes, but..."
Long Er patted his head and pursed his lips to one of his subordinates.
The subordinate nodded, covered his nose with a piece of cloth, and then he carefully crawled to the door and took a deep breath.
"Creak..." The door was slowly pushed open, and his men lurked into the room. After exploring for a while, they stuck their heads out and let out the suffocated breath in their chests.
"Boss, is there no one inside?"
"What?"
"Really boss, there's no one inside!"
Long Er's heart tightened, he stood up and rushed in with others to see that there was indeed no one in the room.
Long Er thought for a moment, suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and said quickly: "Oops, go back quickly! Hurry!"
Long Er's order was issued very urgently, and the shadow guards became anxious when they saw their leader, and they all scattered towards the Lu family mansion.
Since Ma Xiaoquan's hut was not far from the Lu family's mansion, it didn't take long for the shadow guards to return to the Lu family's mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Long Er ordered his men to light up the mansion.
But...there are no outsiders in the mansion except for my own people.
Long Er touched his head and said to himself: "That's strange. Did I think wrong?"
Several subordinates went forward to report: "Boss, we thoroughly checked the Lu family mansion and found no suspicious signs."
Once Long Er heard this, he felt relieved and asked: "Is there any news from the master?"
As soon as Long Er finished speaking, someone knocked on the door of the Lu family mansion.
Long Er's heart tightened. Could it be that Ma Xiaoquan wanted to break in through the gate?
"Go and open the door, be careful, it might be Ma Xiaoquan! Everyone, get ready!"
The subordinate nodded and stepped forward to open the door.
There was a short and fat man standing at the door. By the light of the torch, Long Er could see his face clearly.
"Hutou? Why are you here?" Long Er asked.
The other party chuckled: "Boss, the master asked me to send you a letter!"
Long Er stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder: "Don't you want to stay longer?"
"No, time is urgent. I will send you the letter and you will go back immediately. Everything is written in the letter!" After the man finished speaking, he turned and disappeared into the night.
Long Er hummed, opened the letter, read it, and said happily: "That's great, haha..."
With that said, Long Er held the letter to the torch and burned it.
The subordinates didn't know what the boss saw, nor what the master wrote to the boss, but seeing the boss's excited expression must be a good thing.
At this moment, a subordinate suddenly came to report that he had seen "Mao Gang".
Long Er was shocked and said: "Where is it?"
The subordinates were startled by Long Er's surprise and quickly waved their hands and said: "Boss... Then Mao Gang was visiting the brothel..."
Long Eryi grabbed his subordinate's collar: "How do you know?"
The subordinate felt a little wronged: "Boss, didn't you ask me to go to the brothel to find out about Mao Gang before..."
Long Er was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered.
"Well" Long Er let go of his hands, "Mao Gang is in the brothel now?"
"Yes!"
Long Er thought for a moment and said: "Let's go and have a look!"
...
When a group of people came to the kiln house, they saw Ma Xiaoquan at first sight, but now Ma Xiaoquan is "Mao Gang".
In front of Long Er Mountain, he bowed his hand to Ma Xiaoquan and said, "Master Mao is so elegant, why do you want to visit here today?"
Ma Xiaoquan sneered in his heart, but said: "I've been holding it in for a long time, come here to relax? Eh? Do you want to have a little girl to play with too?"
Long Er waved his hand and asked: "Master Mao, what are the tools you ordered from the blacksmith during the day for?"
When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he was deliberately nervous. He looked around, stood up and came closer and said, "Long Er, how did you know?"
Long Er smiled and said: "There is nothing in Nanyang County that my Lu family doesn't know about."
Ma Xiaoquan sighed: "Hey, to be honest, I actually plan to go back. My old man has helped me settle things. Although Nanyang County is good, it is not my home. As for those tools, I use them for self-defense on the road.
, By the way, do you want it? If you want it, I will ask the blacksmiths to make more for you."
Long Er shook his head: "No! Farewell!" After that, Long Er led his men and left the kiln.
Looking at Long Er's retreating figure, Ma Xiaoquan took a long breath.
A gray-haired "old prostitute" suddenly came over and whispered to Ma Xiaoquan: "Master Shangxian, how are you? Am I right?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Master Zi, you are really good. You have guessed this correctly. So what should I do now?"
"It's very simple. You will spend the night in this brothel today. Tomorrow night, I will go with you to destroy them."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and said: "Master Zi, you are forcing me. After this matter is done, if I don't agree to your agreement, I'm afraid it won't be justified."
"Haha...Master Shangxian is really smart."
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while, but still rejected Zi Chen: "Master Zi, you are the head of the Yi family. Although your Zi family has a strong foundation, don't underestimate Long Er. I have already suffered twice at his hands.
, I don’t think it’s necessary tomorrow night, I can just go alone... Just wait for my good news in Yecheng."
Zichen nodded: "Okay, then I will be in Yecheng and wait for the good news from Lord Shangxian."
