Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan returns to the inn, but who knows that there is a killer hiding in the room...
The killer glared at Ma Xiaoquan and said proudly: "This is impossible. The poisonous cinnabar was obviously installed by me myself. It cannot be wrong."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and chuckled: "Oh, that's it, that's fine. You won't survive anyway. Why don't you try this poisonous cinnabar?" After that, Ma Xiaoquan pretended to put the poisonous cinnabar on it.
Stretch your hand towards the killer.
"You...you..." The killer was startled and struggled hurriedly.
Li Qinghan and Dongfang Qingxue increased the strength under their feet, making the killer unable to move.
"You...you are cruel enough" the killer shouted.
Ma Xiaoquan stopped his hand and murmured: "Am I ruthless? Forget it, I didn't do anything well. It was you who wanted to assassinate me, and it was you who used the poisonous cinnabar first. I just retaliate in the same way."
It’s just another body, what? Are you scared?”
"No, it's impossible. As long as you get a little bit of the poisonous cinnabar, you'll feel extremely uncomfortable. Your whole body will fester until you die. But why are you okay? Why?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "It's just a poisonous cinnabar, what's so scary about it? I'll tell you, Grandpa, I am immune to all poisons."
"Invulnerable to all poisons? How is this possible? The highly poisonous cinnabar is the king of all poisons. You...you..."
Ma Xiaoquan said disapprovingly: "The king of all poisons? Tsk, tsk, tsk, you can't talk nonsense. Well, I can give you a chance. You just need to tell me who assigned you to kill me, and I will let you go."
"Let me go? Do you think I will survive if you let me go?" the killer sneered.
"Oh, it's also because you haven't completed your mission. I'm afraid Qinghan and Qingxue are on the verge of death. Let him go."
When the two girls heard Ma Xiaoquan's words, they were both stunned.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "That's right, let him go. He won't be able to tell me if I keep him. It's better to let him go and let him go back to life. It's better to die by hand."
Li Qinghan and Dongfang Qingxue looked at each other, then nodded and released their feet.
The killer stood up slowly and put his hand into his clothes.
Ma Xiaoquan saw it and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be so clever. I know all your tricks. If you want to fight to the death, this is impossible. Brother, you'd better leave. I won't kill you now."
, doesn’t mean I won’t kill you soon!”
The killer was stunned for a moment, took his hand out of his clothes, then lowered his head and suddenly knelt down in front of Ma Xiaoquan with a thud.
"Please, help me"
Ma Xiaoquan was unmoved, smiled and shook his head: "Okay, just raise your head, I've seen too much of the bitter meat scheme."
The killer's body trembled, then he raised his head and looked at Ma Xiaoquan in horror.
"Why don't you get out of here?" Ma Xiaoquan shouted.
The killer rolled away in a hurry, but left a small piece of worn-out paper on the ground.
Li Qinghan saw the small paper and wanted to pick it up. Ma Xiaoquan reached out to stop Li Qinghan: "Be careful, it's poisonous. I'll do it."
Li Qinghan hummed softly.
Ma Xiaoquan knelt down, picked up the small piece of paper, unfolded it and saw that there was writing on the paper.
"Well" after seeing the content on the paper, Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment, then flattened the paper, looked at Li Qinghan and Dongfang Qingxue, and said, "What do you think after seeing the content on this?"
The two girls looked closer and looked at each other. Dongfang Qingxue said: "Horse? Ma Xiaoquan, if I guess correctly, this thorn should be an assassination, and the horse is naturally you."
Li Qinghan said: "It's just that I don't understand why someone would come to assassinate you? Moreover, how do they know you are here?"
Dongfang Qingxue continued: "Besides, Ma Xiaoquan, you don't seem to have made many enemies. Even if people hate you, they still can't find someone to assassinate you, right? Unless..." Dongfang Qingxue and
Li Qinghan looked at each other, nodded, and said in unison with her: "Unless there is a mole!"
As the two girls talked, they suddenly thought of a person.
"Yes..." The two girls were about to speak in unison again when Ma Xiaoquan suddenly shook his head and stopped them.
"Since everyone has thought of it, we can't alert him. He must have known about such a big movement just now. Well, I want to see how he can face me?"
Dongfang Qingxue said: "Ma Xiaoquan, why not just drive him away?"
Li Qinghan wanted to kill more decisively: "He can send people to kill you, why don't you send people to kill him?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and said: "Don't panic. Now that you know who it is, it will be much easier to deal with. You don't have to worry too much about me. He is not afraid of him. And the guy behind him is indeed something I will have to face in the future."
"sworn enemy"
Li Qinghan's beautiful eyes flickered and he said: "Ma Xiaoquan, are you talking about that old eunuch Wei Jinzhong?"
Ma Xiaoquan snorted and nodded: "That's true."
"Then why don't you just kill the old eunuch? This way you can avoid future troubles once and for all?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and thought to himself, I have already meant that, but Wei Jinzhong is a historical figure, he cannot die yet, and it is not time to die yet.
"This..." Ma Xiaoquan couldn't tell the two girls the reason, so he could only lie, "Wei Jinzhong holds some secrets, and he can't die until he gets these secrets."
"Oh." Ma Xiaoquan's lie deceived the second daughter, who nodded and looked like she had no choice but to do so.
...
Early the next morning, Ma Xiaoquan and his party set off again to Ningyuan. On the way... no one mentioned what happened last night.
Bei Mingxue was not involved in what happened last night. After Dongfang Qingxue returned, she told Bei Mingxue what happened last night.
After hearing this, Bei Mingxue looked regretful and said that she shouldn't have drank, otherwise, she would have castrated the killer...
Dongfang Qingxue whispered Bei Mingxue's words to Ma Xiaoquan. After hearing this, Ma Xiaoquan was secretly speechless. Fortunately, this woman Bei Mingxue drank too much. Otherwise, it would be really possible for that man...
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but trembled all over.
Dai Zheng saw Ma Xiaoquan trembling and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Ma? Did you not sleep well last night?"
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Dai Zheng thoughtfully and did not answer his question immediately.
Dai Zheng felt a little guilty, but he still looked at Ma Xiaoquan with a smile, as if he didn't know anything about what happened last night.
Ma Xiaoquan sneered in his heart and did not expose him, saying: "Well, I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that someone came to kill me. Fortunately, I was agile and subdued that person."
