While Ma Xiaoquan accompanied Liu Bei on his expedition against Yuan Shu, Cao Cao was not idle either.
Since Cao Cao swallowed up the remnants of Lu Bu's forces, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and many areas in Yuzhou belong to him. And after Yuan Shao destroyed Gongsun Zan, he occupied the four states in one go, and he can be said to be the largest and most powerful prince in the area.
.
The situation in the north is now very clear.
No matter who wins in the end between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, he will become the overlord of the north. From the moment he becomes the overlord of the north, he will become the strongest force and the largest power in the world.
...
On the other hand, Ma Xiaoquan was still stupid enough to follow Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shu's remnants.
Yuan Shu, who was already on his last breath, was very cruel. Liu Bei blocked Yuan Shu's remaining troops in the middle of the road without much effort. Yuan Shu originally wanted to defect to Yuan Tan, but was blocked by Liu Bei, so he had no choice but to change his route and escape in the direction of Shouchun.
go.
Liu Bei wanted to take advantage of this to kill Yuan Shu, but Ma Xiaoquan stopped him.
Liu Bei didn't understand and asked: "Why is Master Shangxian like this?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "I actually don't want to participate in your dispute, but then again, Xuande, why are you so anxious to show off your merits?"
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao not far away, and suddenly understood.
Liu Bei asked quietly: "What do you mean, Master Shangxian, those two people are here to monitor me?"
Ma Xiaoquan didn't speak, but his expression said it.
Liu Bei suddenly realized and slapped his head, and quickly ordered: "Everyone is stationed here, just don't let Yuan Shu pass by!"
Zhu Ling Lu Zhao did not understand the situation and stepped forward to ask Liu Bei to send troops. Liu Bei gave a very legitimate reason: the emperor did not say that Yuan Shu must be driven out and killed.
Liu Bei blocked Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao with one sentence, and they had no choice but to stand and watch angrily.
Since the two of them were not familiar with Master Ma Xiaoquan, they were too embarrassed to ask Ma Xiaoquan for help. Of course, even if they came to ask for help, Ma Xiaoquan would definitely not be able to help.
After all, in history, Liu Bei only intercepted Yuan Shu, but did not kill Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu died of vomiting blood himself.
At night, Ma Xiaoquan took Hua Yuexin and went to Yuan Shu's location to investigate.
During the days together, Ma Xiaoquan taught Hua Yuexin the ability to sneak, and also systematically taught Hua Yuexin a set of close combat skills. Since Hua Yuexin is a girl, Ma Xiaoquan specially improved some of her skills when teaching her.
Movements and techniques.
Hua Yuexin already had a good foundation in Kung Fu and learned it very quickly. However, within one month, Hua Yuexin was able to master it independently. Of course, she still lacked some practical experience.
The two of them were dressed in black, with Ma Xiaoquan holding Hua Yuexin in his arms and running quickly.
Ma Xiaoquan changed his own weight and gained the energy of the Green Spirit Fire. Hua Yuexin's weight was only about 90 kilograms at most. Such a weight, whether ancient or modern, would be too heavy for Hua Yue, who is about 1.6 meters tall.
From a mental point of view, those are the slimmest figures.
Holding Hua Yuexin in his arms, Ma Xiaoquan ran quickly without saying a word, while Hua Yuexin looked at her husband quietly with her big eyes open.
After these days of traveling together, the two of them already have a tacit understanding. As long as Ma Xiaoquan doesn't bite, Hua Yuexin will never say a word.
Finally, late at night, the two successfully caught up with Yuan Shu's remnants.
This time, Ma Xiaoquan didn't think about being sneaky. He strode into Yuan Shu's camp and shouted for Yuan Shu to come out and answer.
Yuan Shu was already very frightened, but Ma Xiaoquan's shout made Yuan Shu even more frightened.
Some of Yuan Shu's diehards stood in front of Ma Xiaoquan and tried to stop him.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't speak, he just tilted his head slightly, and Hua Yuexin rushed over deftly.
Just listen to the sound of "dong dong ah ah", and within the time of burning incense, all these diehards have fallen to the ground.
In fact, these die-hard Yuan Shu's martial arts are not bad, but because they haven't eaten enough for several days, and running around all night long, they are already exhausted. How can they still have the energy to fight with others? Otherwise,
Hua Yuexin, a mere woman, would never be able to defeat a group of them.
Therefore, Hua Yuexin took advantage and defeated all these diehards of Yuan Shu.
"Pah!" Hua Yuexin clapped her little hands, turned around, and looked at her husband, Ma Xiaoquan, proudly.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and stretched out his arms. Hua Yuexin blushed and threw herself into her husband's arms.
After appeasing his wife, Ma Xiaoquan said to a diehard: "Don't worry, I'm not here to kill Yuan Shu. I just have something to ask him. Please let him come out and talk to me."
The diehard rolled his eyes, paused for a while and said, "Are you serious about this?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "If I want to kill you, why should I stand and talk nonsense to you?"
The diehard stood up with difficulty, rubbed the swollen right side of his face, glanced at Hua Yuexin resentfully, and ran to Yuan Shu's camp to report.
Yuan Shu originally said that he would not come out, but after hearing what the diehard said, Yuan Shu was a little hesitant.
"Did he really say that he only wanted to talk to me and nothing more?"
"Yes, my lord!"
"How many are there?"
"Two, a boy and a girl. The boy's hair is purple, and the girl's looks are average. She can be considered a female general."
Yuan Shuyi became energetic after hearing this.
Oh, two people came after the commotion for a long time, so why should I be afraid of what they will do?
"Come here, follow me out to see you. Who is so ignorant and dares to challenge me?"
The down-and-out Yuan Shu still put on airs, but Ma Xiaoquan didn't mind. After all, Yuan Shu was already dying, and it was pointless to argue with a dead man.
When he saw Yuan Shu, Ma Xiaoquan did not beat around the bush and asked directly: "Yuan Gongli, have you ever seen this thing?"
Ma Xiaoquan said, took out a white scroll from his sleeve pocket and threw it to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu took the white scroll, took a look at it, was shocked, and asked: "Where did you get this picture?"
"From He? Haha." Ma Xiaoquan laughed, "This thing originally belonged to me. I just want to get back what belongs to me."
When Yuan Shu heard this, he laughed heartily.
"why are you laughing?"
Yuan Shu said: "Why are I laughing? If you say this thing belongs to you, it must belong to you? To tell you the truth, this thing is right here with me..."
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned and said quickly: "Then return it to me quickly. As long as you return it to me, I can do something for you."
Yuan Shu's eyes turned cold: "Do you want to do something for me? Okay, tell me, what can you do for me?"
Ma Xiaoquan was a little anxious and agreed casually: "What do you need?"
Yuan Shu chuckled and said, "Why should I believe you?"
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, chuckled, and picked up a dry branch. He concentrated for a moment, and the branch burned into black ash in an instant.
"Wow, that's amazing." Yuan Shu was startled and said in surprise, "Why didn't you show up earlier?"
"Um?"
Yuan Shu said unwillingly: "To tell you the truth, I have given your thing to my brother Yuan Shao. It should be in his hands now, but I can ask him to bring it back. How about it? You just need to agree to help me."
I, I will help you get it back."
Although Ma Xiaoquan was moved, how could he, who had read the history of the Three Kingdoms, make such a low-level mistake? Yuan Shu was about to die, so how could he have the energy to bother with it? Let him go. As for the solar recorder, first
Just leave it to Yuan Shao.
"Haha..." Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile, "In that case, I won't bother General Yuan. I think it's better for me to go to Yuan Shao's place myself, so why bother you?"
Yuan Shuyi was not happy to hear this: "What are you saying? Is it possible that you can't believe me?"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed loudly and took Hua Yuexin's hand: "Xin? Yuan Shu, in fact, I have met you as early as the time when I was attacking Dong Zhuo. I wonder if you still have any impressions?"
After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan picked up Hua Yuexin and ran away with a cry.
Yuan Shu stood there blankly, thinking for a long time, but he had no specific clue. However, it seemed that in the depths of his mind, he had some impression...
Ma Xiaoquan hugged Hua Yuexin and stopped halfway.
Hua Yuexin cleverly jumped out of Ma Xiaoquan's arms and looked at her husband without saying a word.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Yue'er, do you think I should ask Yuan Shao for it now, or do it later?"
Hua Yuexin shook her head: "Yue'er thinks it would be better if my husband wants it now, otherwise it will be troublesome if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao start fighting."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and agreed.
At this moment, a light cavalry suddenly appeared in front of him. Ma Xiaoquan subconsciously protected Hua Yuexin behind him, looking at the light cavalry in alarm.
Looking closer, it turned out to be Cao Hong, an old acquaintance.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and waved to Cao Hong.
Cao Hong came closer, laughed twice as well, then dismounted, cupped his hands and said, "It's really not fun for Master Shangxian to have a daughter without telling Cao Hong." Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment: "How did you know?"
Cao Hongdao: "Master Shangxian, Mrs. Xiu'er has given you a new girl."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed: "You kid, are you well-informed? Tell me, where have you been these days and what have you been doing?"
Cao Hong blushed and said, "I told the Lord that I had a holiday and collected some valuable treasures. I happened to be passing by here..."
"Oh" Ma Xiaoquan knew that Cao Hong loved money, but he didn't expect that this guy would ask Cao Cao for leave to get the treasure at such a critical moment. He was really a money addict.
"I see! Well, let's go back together first."
After Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, he looked at Hua Yuexin beside him, who nodded in agreement.
The three of them returned to Xuchang talking and laughing. After parting ways, Ma Xiaoquan rushed home as soon as possible to visit Xiu'er, who was now a mother.
At this time, Xiu'er was breastfeeding her child. Seeing Ma Xiaoquan come in, she stood up with a blushing face and prepared to say hello.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward to hold Xiu'er up, and then teased the child in her arms. Then he saw Xiu'er's plump breasts, and Ma Xiaoquan was moved.
"Xiu'er, thank you for your hard work these days!"
Xiu'er shook her head: "It's not hard for Xiu'er to give birth to a child for your husband. Xiu'er is willing to do so."
Ma Xiaoquan was very moved and hugged Xiu'er into his arms.
Xiu'er in her arms breathed out like blue, and her body shortly after giving birth was filled with a faint scent of human milk. Ma Xiaoquan swallowed hard twice and whispered in Xiu'er's ear: "Xiu'er,
Tonight, can you..."
Upon hearing this, Xiu'er blushed to her ears, but she still closed her eyes and nodded gently.
