Summary of the previous chapter: After getting through the dog hole and evading the guards, Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan finally arrived at the bedroom of King Xin Zhu Youjian. The two quietly lurked on the low wall behind the bedroom, eavesdropping on Zhu Youjian and Wei Zhongxian.
Conversations...
After about ten breaths, the voices of Zhu Youjian and Wei Zhongxian came again from the bedroom.
"Your Majesty, I can give up on matters of heaven and earth for now, but I still want to take over Ma Xiaoquan's other businesses." Wei Zhongxian
"Well, I understand your thoughts, but don't forget, Zhongxian, that Ma Xiaoquan is very difficult to deal with. Furthermore, I originally wanted to take him under my command and put him to good use, but unexpectedly, that guy turned against my brother.
Pian Zhongxin, this makes me feel very uncomfortable." Zhu Youjian
"Your Majesty, from the slave's point of view, Ma Xiaoquan is very difficult to deal with. Instead of being like this, why don't Your Majesty send a team of men to kill Ma Xiaoquan on his way to Ningyuan. In this way, won't everything be solved?" Wei Zhongxian?
"Hmph, Zhongxian, you are thinking too simply. Ma Xiao is wearing a yellow mantle given by the emperor. Moreover, Ma Xiaoquan's skills... According to what you said before, his skills are very good.
Okay, right?" Zhu Youjian
"Yes, that Ma Xiaoquan was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. I inquired about it privately. In the past, that guy was a playboy. He was idle all day long and did not do his job... Many people thought that he did not know martial arts. Who would have thought that since Emperor Zhu You
Since the school came to the throne, he has been on a meteoric rise... Furthermore, Your Majesty, there is a fire monster entrenched in Ma Xiaoquan's body, which is very scary." Wei Zhongxian
"Haha, Zhongxian, you are joking again. Ma Xiaoquan is also a mortal. It's not like I have never seen him before. Once Ma Xiaoquan came to my house, I saw a bloody mouth on his hand and asked him.
I know it was because I was beaten by the tigress at home, haha... Oh, by the way, speaking of Ma Xiaoquan's female relatives... Zhongxian, have you always coveted the one named Li Qinghan?
A woman?" Zhu Youjian
"Reply...reply to the prince, I dare not" Wei Zhongxian
"Haha, there is nothing to be afraid of, but Li Qinghan was the concubine conferred by the emperor when he was still alive. Although he has been deposed by the emperor's brother, he still has a status no matter what. Zhongxian, if you want to get that woman,
I'm afraid it's difficult, but the other two women around Ma Xiaoquan, well, I can wish you a helping hand." Zhu Youjian
"Slave, thank you, Your Majesty, my Majesty, oh no, Your Majesty is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." Wei Zhongxian
"Haha, Wei Zhongxian, you are very sensible. I like you very much. Okay, get up and come here. I want to ask you, if I come forward and let you take over Ma Xiaoquan's other businesses, will you be willing?" Zhu You
check
"Reply to the prince, of course I am willing. I have collected the money and will use it all to honor you, the prince." Wei Zhongxian
"That's not necessary. You should follow Ma Xiaoquan's example and allocate the money to Ningyuan. There is a war there, so don't neglect it." Zhu Youjian
"Yes" Wei Zhongxian
"Okay, then let's start with Ma Xiaoquan's gathering of businessmen. I don't think Ma Xiaoquan cares much about it, and they are all businessmen. Businessmen, they all pursue interests and can be easily solved, hum." Zhu Youjian
"Hey, my lord, I think so too. It just so happens that we have a big businessman in Beijing named Zhang Tianhao. I heard a few days ago that Ma Xiaoquan stole a lot of money from Zhang Tianhao. We can join forces with Zhang Tianhao to deal with Ma Xiaoquan." Wei Zhongxian.
"Zhang Tianhao? Well, I do know. Well, in this case, it would be easier to get Lu Zhan and those who are not on good terms with Ma Xiaoquan to get things done. How to do it specifically, you do it first. If you do
If you are stuck, you can come to me and I can help you." Zhu Youjian
"I thank you, Your Majesty, hey..." Wei Zhongxian
"Haha... Zhongxian, let's call you this name from now on. By the way, there is one more thing. A few days ago, was Ma Xiaoquan aware of you taking the ghost gate tea?" Zhu Youjian
"Replying to the prince, it is indeed true, but the servant did not reveal his trap, and Ma Xiaoquan didn't seem to notice anything. It was the color of the tea that Ma Xiaoquan saw." Wei Zhongxian.
"Oh, you have to keep an eye on this matter. I don't want my plan to be ruined. Do you understand?" Zhu Youjian
"The slave understands" Wei Zhongxian
"Okay, kneel down, it's not too early" Zhu Youjian
"Yes" Wei Zhongxian
...
With a creak, the door opened, and Wei Zhongxian walked out of the bedroom with a proud look on his face, shaking his head and leaving. Under the low wall behind the bedroom, Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan were already ready.
Not long after Wei Zhongxian left, Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan also took the opportunity to sneak out.
When returning along the original route, Li Qinghan no longer struggled with the issue of the dog hole. At this moment, she only thought about the safety of the Ma family.
The two of them took a nap in an abandoned house for a while. When the sky turned white, they slowly walked out of the house and walked towards the city gate.
At this time, the city gate has been opened, because there are some Orion suburbanites living on the outskirts of the city. These people come to the city early in the morning to do small business, and some merchants and idlers in the city usually choose to leave the city at this time.
Firstly, there are fewer people, so it is faster to pass the border. Secondly, because the guards are not so alert at this time, it is easier to get through the border by fooling around.
Ma Xiaoquan pulled Li Qinghan and slowly walked out of the city gate. Although the guarding soldiers at the city gate glanced at the two of them, given that Li Qinghan was so skilled in disguise, the guard didn't see anything special about him.
After going around a few corners, the two started running, and after a while they arrived at the secret place.
After looking around to make sure there was nothing strange around them, the two of them cautiously got in.
After returning to the secret place, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief. The first thing Ma Xiaoquan did was to pull off the human skin mask on his face so that his face could breathe air.
Although the mask is also made of human skin, it is still a little inferior compared to your own skin.
After resting for a while, Li Qinghan said: "Ma Xiaoquan, what should we do? King Xin and Wei Zhongxian are now considering taking away our merchant gathering place. Among other things, there are important institutions you are building there."
Ma Xiaoquan breathed out and said: "Of course I know this. Now Zhu Youjian and Wei Zhongxian think that I am not here, so don't show their claws. In addition to the important institutions I am building in the business gathering place, the most important thing is that there are many members of my Ma family."
