Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan successfully placed his third uncle under house arrest, but because of Fang Yun's sister's matter, Hua Yue urged him...
The little girl was stunned for a moment, quickly wiped away the tears on her face, and stepped forward to open the door.
The door opened and she saw the man she had always wanted to see. The little girl couldn't help crying again.
Ma Xiaoquan sighed, approached her, and gently took her into his arms.
"I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."
The little girl raised her head stubbornly, shook her head and said: "Sir, I know that I am not worthy of you, because my wife is very beautiful, and my wife is also very noble. I have been following my brother since I was a child, and I am not very literate. I don't expect that you will favor me."
....."
"Don't say that, don't call yourself a slave..." Ma Xiaoquan smiled and helped the little girl wipe the tears from her face, "Well, I only know that you are Fang Yun's sister, but I don't know yours yet.
Name, um, little girl, could you please tell me your name?"
"Pfft" the little girl burst into laughter and lowered her head shyly, "Slave...oh no, my name is Fang Xiaoyun..."
"Fang Xiaoyun? Ha?" Ma Xiaoquan smiled, "Your brother must have given you this name, right?"
"Um"
"Fang Yun, that bitch is talking nonsense. Forget it, you don't need to use the name Fang Xiaoyun from now on. Xiaoyun can be your nickname. Your big name... uh, just call Fang Ran."
alright"
"Fang Ran..." the little girl blinked, "Sir, can you write me the word "RAN"?"
"Of course, um, let's go into the house and talk."
"Oh, okay"
Fang Ran carefully watched Ma Xiaoquan sit down, then carefully made tea for Ma Xiaoquan, and finally stood carefully next to Ma Xiaoquan, not daring to sit down.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, pulled Fang Ran's sleeve, and said: "Okay, don't be afraid, you can sit down too."
"Well, okay..."
Ma Xiaoquan and Fang Ran chatted aimlessly, and during the process they also learned some about her brother Fang Yun's past.
"Oh, that's it." Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said with a smile, "So, you and your brother escaped from Beijing. No wonder I said that. Your brother speaks Beijing very well and you are also very good.
..."
Fang Ran nodded: "Sir, please let me go. My brother left because he was afraid of Jinyiwei. Up to now, he is still on tenterhooks."
Ma Xiaoquan drags his chin and hums. It's not that he won't let it go. To be honest, Fang Yun ran away, but he was afraid that the new commander Tian Ergen would be more serious, which would be difficult to handle.
"Well, you and your brother, from now on, don't call each other by each other's first names in front of outsiders. You escaped from Beijing, but you still have the courage to use your real names. It's really...
I will give your brother some peace of mind and let him change his name, so that even if the commander sends someone to investigate, it will be easier for him to get through."
Fang Ran nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Ma Xiaoquan stood up and prepared to leave.
"Sir," Fang Ran suddenly had the courage to grab Ma Xiaoquan's clothes, lowered his head and said, "Sir, don't you like me at all?"
Ma Xiaoquan sighed, turned around and grabbed Fang Ran's shoulders: "Fang Ran, you are still young and there are many things you don't understand..."
Fang Ran argued: "I'm not young anymore. In our hometown, if I don't get married at my age, I will be ridiculed..."
Ma Xiaoquan frowned and said: "That was in your hometown, but it wouldn't be like this here. Fang Ran, in my heart, she has always been my little sister. I know what your brother means. Your brother wants us to get married."
In-laws, of course, I also know what he is thinking. Don’t worry. I also told your brother to let him rest assured. I, Ma Xiao...well, as long as you follow me, Ma San, I won’t do anything to my subordinates.
, As for you, Fang Ran, I know that you like me because of my admiration. The days to come are still very long. When you meet a man who is really good to you, you will know what it means.
, I already have several wives, and it is impossible for me to marry again."
"Sir, isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines?"
Ma Xiaoquan patted Fang Ran on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Actually, my intention is not to marry many wives. If possible, I hope to have only one and only love one..."
"You only love one person? Sir, is it Mrs. Hua Yue?"
Ma Xiaoquan lied and smiled: "I don't know, maybe."
Fang Ran asked curiously: "Sir, have you ever liked someone?"
"Like? Haha..." Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, "I have loved, and I still love now, but that woman, I don't know what she is doing, thinking, or doing now?"
"Sir, please forgive me for talking too much. I heard from my brother that you still have a wife in Beijing, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan said humbly: "That's right."
"Then that lady is the one you love?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I'm not sure either, but I always feel like I've known her for a long time... By the way, Fang Ran, do you believe in love that lasts for thousands of years?"
"A thousand years? Wow, how long does that take? A long, long time, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Well, that's how I feel."
Fang Ran blinked and said, "Sir, in fact, there has always been a woman in your heart, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Yes, it doesn't hurt to tell you, her name is Mingyue Xin..."
"Mingyue Xin?"
"Well, yes, she is a woman that I will never be able to forget in my life, and she is also a woman that I have always loved deeply until now..."
"Where is she? Then why don't you go find her? Is she already..."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "That's not true...it's just that every time I go back, I can't see her..."
"Oh" Fang Ran nodded.
"Okay, it's already quite late. Fang Ran, let's have a good rest..."
"Well, it's an adult"
...
Ma Xiaoquan walked out of Fang Ran's room, closed the door, and turned around to find Hua Yue standing behind him.
"Shh" Hua Yue stretched out her hand and made a whispering gesture. Ma Xiaoquan nodded and followed her back to the study.
"Yue'er, did you hear the conversation between Fang Ran and I just now?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
"Well, Ma Xiaoquan, you have never told me specifically, who is Ming Yuexin?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "She saved me and also made me change my identity..."
"Identity? Ma Xiaoquan, what did you do before?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and shook his head: "I don't know very well. I have tried to remember things a long time ago many times, but there is always an invisible force that prevents me from remembering...
.”
"Oh, have you investigated it?" Hua Yue asked.
"Hey, no, forget it, don't think about it anymore, um, by the way, Yue'er, what's Jiang Batian doing recently?"
Hua Yueh said: "Recently, my accounts here have been obviously much smaller, especially the money flowing from Jiang Batian..."
Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes and guessed: "Yue'er, I'm wondering if Jiang Batian wants to run away?"
"Run? Where?"
"Well, I'm just guessing, but judging from his motivation for making money in such a big way, there is a possibility that he ran away."
"Well, why don't we send someone to investigate?"
"Okay, let's do this as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."
"good"
"Well, also, Huang Tianhu, please start taking action. Yue'er, please find a way to contact Cui Jing. I have something to ask her..."
"good"
...
The next day, under Hua Yue's arrangement, Ma Xiaoquan secretly met Cui Jing in a Buddhist hall.
Cui Jing told Ma Xiaoquan that she could not stay too long and hoped that Ma Xiaoquan would keep the story short.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said, "It's very simple, Miss Cui Jing, what I want to say is very simple. I ask you, what do you want to do with Jiang Batian?"
Cui Jing said: "Jiang Batian killed my sister, and I want him to pay for it with his life."
"Okay, then I promise you, but I also want to ask you something."
Cui Jing smiled and said, "You want me to help you kill Huang Tianhu, right?"
"clever"
"Hmph, that's interesting. I can help you, but I have to ask you something."
"Miss Cui Jing, just speak up."
Cui Jing said: "I need money, a lot of money"
“This is easy to handle”
"I haven't finished speaking yet. You need to send this large amount of money to..."
"good"
"Well, Ma San, why don't you ask me who to give it to?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "No matter who you give it to, this is not what I need to know, is it?"
"Okay, it's really comfortable to deal with cheerful people. I promised you when will you get the result? Now?"
"No, now is not the time. When I deal with Jiang Batian, it will be the day when you become Huang Tianhu."
"good"
...
Caobang, Fujian sect's main hall.
Jiang Batian sat upright and asked the tribesmen below: "Do you have any good ideas? When do you think it is best for us to leave?"
Someone said: "Ba Tian, what are you doing now? Huang Tianhu is aggressive towards us right now, and other small factions are also ready to make a move. In addition, the general manager Ma San is indifferent to this. It is best for us to leave now, how about it?"
Others objected: "Is it wrong to leave now? Our main business has not been lost, and we can continue to make a lot of money. Then Masan San is just a paper tiger, and I guess we will not stay here for long. I think we will
You can wait until Ma San leaves and take advantage of the chaos before leaving."
Jiang Batian dragged his chin and nodded. Both of them made sense. How to decide?
