Summary of the previous chapter: I thought I would be able to see Zhao Yuntai, but unexpectedly I met Zhao Wenqiang, Zhao Yuntai’s third son... Zhao Wenqiang gave Ma Xiaoquan a black metal pipe...
Zhao Wenqiang breathed out and took out a dark pistol from his arms.
When Mo Dao saw it, he was a little surprised and said: "Third Young Master, this...is this the master's magic weapon?"
Zhao Wenqiang sneered: "Magic weapon? Haha... That's right... Mo Dao, next time, if you dare to stop me, I will definitely kill you first, understand.
Is it done?"
Mo Dao smiled bitterly in his heart and said respectfully: "I understand, Third Young Master!"
...
Ma Xiaoquan played with the black metal pipe in his hand, thinking deeply as he walked.
This metal tube is actually a component of the underground detector. This component...according to what Ma Xiaoquan saw from its structural diagram...can be said to be the most important component of the underground detector.
In other words, if this component is missing, the underground detector will not be able to operate normally.
What was the purpose of Zhao Yuntai giving this part to himself? Could it be that... the underground detector was damaged by that guy?
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and stuffed the black metal tube into his sleeve pocket.
When I got home, it was already evening... It was New Year's Eve today, and every family was in joy. As soon as Ma Xiaoquan walked in, two children ran over and hugged Ma Xiaoquan's legs.
"Fourth uncle, fourth uncle, give me a hug." The little girl spoke without pausing, blinking her big eyes, and stretched out her two chubby little hands towards Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan lovingly picked up the little girl and put her on his shoulders.
The little boy also said at this time: "Uncle Fourth, I want it too."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and simply picked up the little boy. The two children sat on his shoulders, one by one.
Qiao Yu came out and saw two children sitting on Ma Xiaoquan's shoulders, and said angrily: "You two naughty children, your fourth uncle just came back, and you are pestering your fourth uncle?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law, it's okay, the child is still young..."
The little girl grabbed Ma Xiaoquan's ear and said: "Mother, mother, Jiaojiao is taller than mother."
Qiao Yu shook his head, took the little girl from Ma Xiaoquan's shoulder, and ordered: "Go and tell grandpa that your fourth uncle is back."
"Oh oh oh oh, fourth uncle is back..." The little girl jumped into the main hall.
Ma Xiaoquan put down the little boy and said, "Go and play with your sister."
The little boy hummed twice and jumped into the main hall.
Qiao Yu watched the two children enter the main hall with a loving look on his face. He turned to Ma Xiaoquan and said, "Quanzi, how was it when you entered the palace with your father earlier?"
"Didn't dad tell you?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
Qiao Yu shook his head.
"Hey," Ma Xiaoquan sighed, "The emperor is obsessed with carpentry and has no intention of managing the government... Second sister-in-law, there is something I should say, should I say it?"
"Quanzi, if you have anything to say, just say it, we are a family."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed: "I think dad is a little too loyal to the Ming Dynasty... If the Ming Dynasty is over..."
Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and quickly stepped forward to cover Ma Xiaoquan's mouth: "Quanzi, you can say this casually, but please don't say it to others?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded.
Qiao Yu let go of his hand and sighed: "Why don't we know it? It's just that my Ma family is a loyal family and has sacrificed too much for the Ming Dynasty."
"Isn't that right?" Ma Xiaoquan whispered, "Second sister-in-law, I have read my Ma's family tree, and it clearly says that she is reclusive. How come it's like this?"
Qiao Yu shook his head: "I haven't read the genealogy, and I don't know..."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Okay, I'll talk to dad about this when I have time..."
...
Entering the main hall, Ma Xiaoquan saluted several elders.
"Quan'er, you're back, haha... It's not time for dinner yet, so you should watch your work first..."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, glanced around the main hall, and found that his sister-in-law Li Qinghan and Zilong were not present.
"Come here Xiangxiang" Ma Xiaoquan waved to Liu Xiangxiang.
Liu Xiangxiang came over happily. Ma Xiaoquan pulled her out of the main hall and asked in a low voice: "Where is my sister-in-law? Why is she missing?"
Liu Xiangxiang pouted her lips and said unhappily: "I'm with Brother Zilong."
"What?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, feeling sour in his heart.
Damn it, I'm not here, you two cheaters... Oh no, you two guys are going on a date behind my back? It's really annoying.
Ma Xiaoquan took a breath and turned around to look for him without saying a word.
"Brother Quan..." Liu Xiangxiang grabbed Ma Xiaoquan and said, "Brother Quan, are you going to find Sister Qinghan?"
Ma Xiaoquan said nothing.
"Humph, Xiangxiang knows that brother Quan likes sister Qinghan."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "How could I like her?"
"No, Brother Quan just likes Sister Qinghan...Brother Quan, you can't notice it yourself, but I can..."
Ma Xiaoquan calmed down and thought carefully about the past with his sister-in-law Li Qinghan.
What Liu Xiangxiang said was not wrong. In fact, whether Li Qinghan was dating Zilong or having tea together, it should have nothing to do with her. But... when she heard that Li Qinghan and Zilong were together
, Ma Xiaoquan's heart immediately felt sour, and the sourness was very strong.
"What's wrong with me? I don't really like Li Qinghan, do I?" Ma Xiaoquan whispered to himself.
Liu Xiangxiang came over and leaned on Ma Xiaoquan's shoulder: "Brother Quan, even if you like Sister Qinghan, Xiangxiang also likes you. Xiangxiang will always consider Brother Quan..."
Ma Xiaoquan sighed and couldn't help but put his arm around Liu Xiangxiang's shoulders.
At this moment... a man and a woman suddenly walked out of the corner. The man was Zilong, and the woman was Li Qinghan.
"Sister-in-law, let's continue drinking tea tonight..." Zilong looked at Li Qinghan with a smile. He enjoyed the time alone with Li Qinghan. Just now he just tasted tea without using a stick of incense.
Time, Zilong is already very satisfied.
Li Qinghan hummed, raised his head and looked around. Looking around, Li Qinghan saw Ma Xiaoquan...and Liu Xiangxiang.
In Li Qinghan's eyes, Ma Xiaoquan was holding Liu Xiangxiang's shoulders at this moment, and the two seemed to be chatting about something "sweet".
"Humph" Li Qinghan snorted and stamped her foot fiercely.
Ma Xiaoquan heard a sound behind him and subconsciously turned his head to take a look. At this sight, Ma Xiaoquan was so frightened that he quickly let go of Liu Xiangxiang's hand.
