Early the next morning, Li Ming left the General Military Mansion, and Han Yuanyuan also led a group of guards out for fun, so that Ma Xiaoyao could be lazy again.
Ma Xiaoyao has been thinking about how to escape these days. He has been thinking about it over and over again, but he has not been able to come up with a safe way.
As long as Li Ming is still the brother-in-law of Commander-in-Chief Han Mingguang, Ma Xiaoyao can only endure Li Ming's oppression. If he wants to deal with Li Ming, he must deal with Commander-in-Chief Han Mingguang... As long as Han Mingguang is overthrown and Li Ming loses his backer, this way
Once this happened, Li Ming no longer had the confidence to oppress Ma Xiaoyao.
The key point is still the commander-in-chief Han Mingguang.
Han Mingguang is the commander-in-chief. He holds extremely high power and is protected by a large number of guards. It is not easy to bring down Han Mingguang.
Ma Xiaoyao thought about it and finally put his hope in the chief steward Gu Zhiqiu. Gu Zhiqiu was the chief steward of the General Military Mansion and was in charge of all the guards and servants in the mansion. He was deeply trusted by the General Soldier Han Mingguang, and
Ma Xiaoyao also investigated... Gu Zhiqiu is a fifth-level warrior, second only to General Han Mingguang in strength. If Gu Zhiqiu can be allowed to betray Han Mingguang, it will definitely be a major blow to Han Mingguang.
"If I want to get out of trouble safely, I still have to rely on this ancient autumn." Ma Xiaoyao said secretly.
In the following days, Ma Xiaoyao found various opportunities to get close to Gu Zhiqiu, and instigated the relationship between Gu Zhiqiu and Han Mingguang, which made Gu Zhiqiu very annoyed.
Gu Zhiqiu did not dare to turn against him because of his own leverage, so he could only endure the irritability in his heart and deal with Ma Xiaoyao.
This morning.
Ma Xiaoyao once again found the butler Gu Zhiqiu: "Butler, I found that you are really a coward."
"What do you mean?" Gu Zhiqiu frowned.
"You clearly like the Second Madam, but you don't dare to show it. You have to be secretive when you meet. You are even more worried every day for fear that the commander will find out... Do you think you are not a coward?" Ma Xiaoyao said with curled lips.
Gu Zhiqiu's face twitched a few times: "This is my private matter, you don't need to worry about it."
"I have no other abilities, I just like to meddle in other people's business." Ma Xiaoyao said, "Butler, I'm worried about you. Tell me...you and the second lady are sneaking around...when will it be over?"
?”
"You...if you have nothing else to do...I'll leave...there are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the house." Gu Zhiqiu raised his feet and was about to leave.
"Wait." Ma Xiaoyao grabbed Gu Zhiqiu and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. I have a way to help you solve the predicament at hand. That is to find a way to bring down the commander-in-chief Han Mingguang. As long as Han Mingguang falls.
, you no longer need to be afraid, and he can no longer threaten you... If you want to avoid future troubles, then find a way to kill the commander-in-chief Han Mingguang. As long as Han Mingguang is dead, everything will be solved..."
Gu Zhiqiu threw Ma Xiaoyao away with all his strength, and said with a gloomy face: "Ma Xiaoyao, don't think that just because you hold my handle in your hand, you can threaten me unscrupulously. Let me tell you! I also have a temper. If you give me
If you get too anxious, I'll die with you in the worst case! If you don't let me have a good life, I won't let you have a good life either!"
"Look at you..." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "I helped you with my good intentions, but instead of thanking you, you even scolded me... It's true that your kindness is not rewarded..."
"I don't need you to help me make suggestions! I will solve my own problems myself!" After saying this, Gu Zhiqiu left angrily.
Ma Xiaoyao curled his lips: "You want to save face and suffer the consequences! What a great idea my brother gave you, but you didn't accept it? You deserve to be so angry and cowardly!"
…
When they reached a deserted place, Gu Zhiqiu began to slow down, and the anger on his face slowly disappeared.
"This Ma Xiaoyao is so brave! He actually dares to instigate me to murder Han Mingguang... Although I have some objections to Han Mingguang... But it has not reached the point of life and death... Besides, with my current strength, it is impossible
He is Han Mingguang's opponent..." Gu Zhiqiu said secretly.
"This Ma Xiaoyao will be a disaster sooner or later... We can't keep him anymore... We have to find a way to deal with him..."
"The key question is...how should I start?"
Yes, Gu Zhiqiu has already had murderous intentions towards Ma Xiaoyao, but he doesn't dare to take action because he still hasn't figured out all the details about Ma Xiaoyao... He is afraid that Ma Xiaoyao will leave some back-up plan, and once he kills Ma Xiaoyao,
If Ma Xiaoyao is killed, things between him and his second wife may be exposed...
If you are not completely sure, you cannot act rashly.
"Alas...when will these miserable days end?" Gu Zhiqiu sighed heavily.
…
at dusk.
Ma Xiaoyao returned to the woodshed with two buckets. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled an aroma. After a closer look, he found several delicious side dishes on the floor, as well as a pot of fine wine.
No need to ask, these delicious meals must have been prepared by the butler Gu Zhiqiu.
Ma Xiaoyao threw away the bucket, didn't wash his hands, walked over and started eating and drinking.
After drinking and eating, Ma Xiaoyao began to practice the Angry Eyes Vajra cross-legged. After practicing for a few hours, Ma Xiaoyao felt a little tired, so he fell directly on the firewood pile and started to sleep. In the middle of the night, Ma Xiaoyao suddenly felt an urge to urinate.
He turned over and was about to get up... At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from outside the door. The footsteps were so light that if Ma Xiaoyao hadn't woken up suddenly, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
Doubt flashed in Ma Xiaoyao's eyes, who could it be at such a late hour? At this time, Ma Xiaoyao was not in a hurry to get up to go to the convenience. He lay down again and squinted at the movement at the door... He held his two big hands gently.
Living two stones away, the whole person has entered a state of first-level alert...
The sound of footsteps suddenly disappeared.
Just when Ma Xiaoyao was confused, he suddenly saw a paper ball thrown in from the window... Then the disappearing footsteps sounded again, but the footsteps were getting softer and softer, getting farther and farther... Look at the posture of the people outside.
To escape...
Are you going to run away after throwing the paper ball?
Ma Xiaoyao immediately got up and chased after him.
"ah!"
"Ping ping ping pong..."
"Bang!"
There was a brief fighting sound outside, and then Ma Xiaoyao walked into the woodshed carrying a disheveled man.
"boom!"
Ma Xiaoyao threw the man to the ground, and then closed the door: "Tell me! Who are you! Why did you sneak up here in the middle of the night!" While speaking, Ma Xiaoyao looked at the man carefully.
This is a very ordinary-looking man, neither ugly nor handsome, with messy hair and rough clothes... The shoes on his feet also have a hole in them, revealing a dirty toe...
"Cough cough cough..."
The man covered his chest and coughed several times: "I won't say anything! Kill me if you dare!"
"Hey! You're pretty tough!" Ma Xiaoyao kicked out, and the man immediately flew out. He hit the wall and spurted out a mouthful of blood. Ma Xiaoyao raised his foot and walked towards the man. He stopped as soon as he took a step, because
He saw a paper ball, which was thrown in from the window just now. He walked over, picked up the paper ball, opened it, and saw a stone wrapped inside. Then he saw a line of words written on the paper ball: "Expose the big man immediately."
The matter of the housekeeper and the second wife, otherwise I will let you die without a burial place."
Ma Xiaoyao turned to look at the man with a pale face: "You threw this paper ball in, right? And the paper ball last time was also your masterpiece, right? Who are you and why did you tell me?"
"If you want to kill, you want to ask one word from my mouth, I am your grandson." The man said very forcefully.
"A tough mouth? I like to deal with people who have a tough mouth the most!" Ma Xiaoyao tore up the paper ball and threw it on the ground, then walked towards the man: "I want to see how tough your mouth is!" At this point
, Ma Xiaoyao kicked out hard, hitting the man on the bridge of his nose.
"Whoosh!"
The man's nose was bleeding, and his whole body was throbbing in pain.
"Don't tell me!"
"Did not say!"
"boom!"
"Don't tell me!"
"Did not say!!"
"Bang bang!"
…
Ma Xiaoyao kicked and hit the man, but the man refused to bow his head... Finally, Ma Xiaoyao became anxious.
"You bastard! I don't believe you can't obey me!" Ma Xiaoyao stretched out his hand to tear off the man's clothes, and then took out a gleaming dagger from the pile of wood.
"What do you want to do?" A trace of panic flashed in the man's eyes.
"I'll help you perform a small operation." Ma Xiaoyao said slowly, "I'll let you have a taste of what it's like to be a eunuch."
"You...you dare..."
"What am I afraid of?"
"You...you don't want to mess around...you can't kill someone without a nod, you humiliate me like this, you are still not a human being..."
"I have always been cruel to my enemies, and I can use any means... Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you, I will operate on you now."
"No... don't come here... no... I said it, I said it!!! I said it!!"
…
The tough-minded man finally cried bitterly when he was tortured by Ma Xiaoyao... A man can endure any kind of pain, but he can't bear to be a eunuch...
"It's already over. You have to suffer a little before you bow down. Why bother?" Ma Xiaoyao pouted: "Tell me, who are you! Why are you throwing paper balls at me in the middle of the night!"
The man glanced at the dagger in Ma Xiaoyao's hand with lingering fear: "You...can you put the dagger away...I feel a little panicked..."
"You have so many problems." Ma Xiaoyao snorted and put away the dagger with his backhand.
The man took a deep breath: "My name is Feng Guangnian, and I am a servant of the General Military Mansion. My main duty is to take care of the flowers and plants in the garden, and occasionally I go to the stable to feed the horses..."
"Did you throw the paper ball?"
"it's me."
"You also threw that paper ball last time, right?"
"……yes……"
"Why are you throwing paper balls at me?"
"Because...I wanted to use your mouth to tell the truth...but what I didn't expect was...you didn't do this..."
"So you are angry and threaten me by throwing paper balls?"
"yes."
"How did you know that the first housekeeper and the second wife were having an affair?"
"I also discovered it accidentally. One time I went to the cellar to get something...who would have expected that I saw the butler and the second lady...doing that kind of thing...it scared me at the time...I was afraid that I would be raped...
When the housekeeper and the second lady found out, they held their breath and hid in the corner... Fortunately, they finished quickly and left in a hurry... I didn't plan to expose them, but then I made a little mistake.
Wrong, the butler beat me dozens of times and almost killed me... After that, the butler insulted me in public... I hate the butler so much, so I want to take revenge on him..."
"Why don't you expose the big steward yourself? Why do you have to go through me?"
"...I'm afraid of retaliation from the butler..."
"Hmph! You were afraid of retaliation, so you used me as a gunman... You are so rude..."
"... Anyway, you have offended the eldest lady and uncle, and you will die sooner or later... Since you will die sooner or later, you might as well help me before you die... I can still remember you by then, and you will
I'll help you burn some paper money on your death anniversary..."
"Fuck your grandma and grandma!" Ma Xiaoyao kicked out and knocked Feng Guangnian to the ground, who had just recovered his breath: "How do you know that I will die sooner or later? Just because I offended the daughter and uncle of the general soldier? Go there.
It belongs to his grandmother! Let me tell you clearly right now: As long as I don’t want to, no one can kill me!”
"Ahem..." Feng Guangnian looked at Ma Xiaoyao with a sneer: "Who can't brag... Ma Xiaoyao, I fell into your hands today. It's up to you whether you want to kill me or cut me into pieces. If I frown,
A brow is not a man! And...if you still have some conscience, go and expose the chief steward and the second lady. Even if I die, I will still think of you."
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Ma Xiaoyao snorted coldly: "I can't protect myself now, how can I offend the first housekeeper and the second wife again? I haven't lived enough yet!"
"You..." Feng Guangnian's face showed an angry look: "I misjudged you... Originally I thought you were a man with backbone, but now I realize that you are just a timid coward..."
"Whether I am a coward or not, you don't need to judge me. You should just care about yourself." Ma Xiaoyao snorted: "Since you have fallen into my hands, I will not let you go easily..." "Butler"
!Why are you here!" Feng Guangnian stared at the door with a look of shock on his face.
"Uh?" Ma Xiaoyao's expression changed, and he turned his head hastily... There was nothing behind him, and the door was tightly closed. Where was the butler's shadow? No! He had fallen into a trap! When Ma Xiaoyao reacted, just listen
There was a gust of wind behind his head... Ma Xiaoyao lowered his head without thinking...
"Whoosh!"
A dagger with a cold light flashed past Ma Xiaoyao's skin.
"Bastard!" Ma Xiaoyao was furious, and punched out with his backhand, "Bang!" This punch hit Feng Guangnian's face. Feng Guangnian screamed in pain, and then fell to the ground. By chance, his head hit him just right.
After hitting the firewood pile, a thorny tree trunk instantly penetrated into his neck, and blood gushed out... Feng Guangnian's body twitched a few times and then became motionless.
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "You're not going to die like that, are you?" Ma Xiaoyao was worried that Feng Guangnian was killed by an explosion, so he didn't go over easily. Then he took out his dagger, shook his hand and threw it out, "Whoops!" The dagger was in the air.
After drawing a beautiful parabola, it pierced Feng Guangnian's chest. Feng Guangnian remained motionless and had no reaction at all.
