In the evening, the county magistrate hosted a banquet for Ma Xiaoquan.
The two talked for a long time until late at night when the small gathering ended.
Ma Xiaoquan stood up, supported the county magistrate, and said gratefully: "Master Li, you are so polite..."
The county magistrate said unsteadily: "If nothing else, I, Li Zhi, treat my friends. There's nothing to say about that... eh."
Ma Xiaoquan fanned himself with his hand and supported the county magistrate: "Master Li, you have drunk too much..."
The county magistrate laughed: "I don't have much... uh... brother, I also want to tell you that your life-extending formula is really effective... and,
Brother, why did you look like this a few years ago, and why are you still like this a few years later? Are you really not getting older..."
The county magistrate Li Zhiyuan drank too much and talked too much. After pestering him for a while, Ma Xiaoquan returned to his bedroom.
In the room, Ling'er had already fallen asleep, while Hua Yuexin had been waiting for her husband to come back.
Seeing her husband come in, Hua Yuexin hurriedly greeted him and supported him.
"If you can't drink it, then don't drink it. You smell like alcohol and it smells terrible."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and hugged Hua Yuexin: "Madam, you don't know something. In fact, I didn't drink. The smell of alcohol on my body was all caused by the county magistrate..."
Hua Yuexin asked: "Ms. sir, do you know this county magistrate?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, pulled Hua Yuexin over, and quietly told her the story of how he met the county magistrate.
When she talked about how she went to Zhongmou County to find Cao Cao, Hua Yuexin kept nodding her head; when she talked about how she made up the "Judgment of Prolonging Life" to deceive the magistrate of Zhongmou County, Hua Yuexin almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
If it weren't for Ling'er still sleeping, Huayue Xinfei would have laughed out loud.
"My lord, then, is that life-prolonging magic true?"
Ma Xiaoquan beamed and said, "Of course it's a lie. How can you extend your life just by singing?"
Hua Yuexin smiled and said: "Then the magistrate of Zhongmu County, oh by the way, is the current Mr. Li, does he believe it?"
Ma Xiaoquan said proudly: "That guy told me just now that my life-extending formula is very effective..."
Hua Yuexin gently tapped Ma Xiaoquan's forehead: "You are the only one with more evil ideas."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, hugging Hua Yue and wanting to kiss her.
Hua Yuexin pushed Ma Xiaoquan away: "It stinks so much, go and wash it off."
...
In another room, County Magistrate Li Zhizhi changed his drunken state and sat soberly at the table, writing something.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the room.
"grown ups......"
Li Zhi replied without raising his head: "Come in."
The door creaked and a crack leaked, a dark shadow slipped through the crack, and then the door was closed again.
"What did Mr. Yuan say?"
The black shadow said: "Sir, Mr. Yuan said, please try your best to retain this man. Mr. Yuan said that he will be here soon."
Li Zhi hummed: "I understand, you can go down."
"It's my lord."
...
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan got up early. After breakfast, he just wanted to get up and say goodbye to Li Zhi. Li Zhi said: "Brother, don't leave in a hurry. Brother, I heard you say yesterday that you are still looking for that object.
?”
Ma Xiaoquan nodded.
Li Zhi said: "It just so happens that I do have some information about this object here. I wonder if my brother is interested in knowing?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "If Mr. Li wants to say it, he will naturally say it. If he doesn't want to say it, I can't force him to do it."
Li Zhi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "In that case, let's not talk secretly. Brother, the object you need is said to be in Yuan Shao's hands."
Ma Xiaoquan was shocked when he heard this.
In fact, Ma Xiaoquan knew the location of the solar recorder. When he went to find Yuan Shu before, Yuan Shu had said that it had only been a few months and the news had already spread like wildfire.
What surprised Ma Xiaoquan even more was how could Li Zhi, a mere county magistrate, have such accurate sources of information?
If there is a problem, there must be a problem.
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and asked Li Zhi: "Master Li, I don't know where this news came from."
Li Zhi rolled his eyes: "Haha, brother, what you said is serious. I heard this occasionally. I don't know if it is true or false."
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Well, thank you Mr. Li, but Mr. Li, do you know that I also know the news you told me!"
Li Zhi laughed and said, "Of course we know about it. Brother, with his great powers, he must have a way out. What the county actually wants to say is, brother, you don't know yet. Yuan Shao may attack Baima in the near future!"
"
As soon as Li Zhi's words came out, Ma Xiaoquan was shocked: How is this possible? There was an incident in history where Yuan Shao attacked Baima. However, it is still in 199 AD. Even if Yuan Shao attacks Baima, it will only happen in April next year.
Who is this Li Zhi, and how can he know the development of history?
Ma Xiaoquan asked calmly: "Since Lord Li knows that Yuan Shao is going to attack Baima, what does Lord Li mean?"
Li Zhi chuckled and said: "Brother, I am a smart man. Although I, Li Zhi, have a good name, I don't have any lofty ambitions. When I first met Xiongtai a few years ago, I felt that Xiongtai is a very good person. See you again today. Sure enough,
In this way, my brother is not only still young, but his demeanor is also much different from before..."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Master Li, please stop showing off. What do you want from me?"
Li Zhi's eyes turned cold and he said: "It's so happy. Since brother is so happy, I won't hide it. What I want is the complete article of the Art of Prolonging Life and Longevity in your hands, the complete article."
As soon as Li Zhi's words came out of his mouth, Ma Xiaoquan almost fainted.
Ma Xiao had a bitter look on his face and shook his head helplessly.
Li Zhi asked: "Why, brother, do you think the news about me, Li Zhi, is unreliable?"
Ma Xiaoquan didn't say anything, thinking: Damn it, when I told you about the "Judgment of Prolonging Life", it was all years ago. No matter how awesome I am, I've forgotten all about the Nunchaku rap.
Oh, you old boy, now you ask me for this, aren't you making things difficult for me?
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan's hesitation, Li Zhi thought that the bargaining chip he was placing was not strong enough, so he continued: "It is also said that Dong Cheng's family will be exterminated next year."
As soon as Li Zhi said these words, Ma Xiaoquan became even more nervous.
There are records in history that Dong Cheng attempted to kill Cao Cao in collusion with Liu Bei, and Cao Cao found out that Dong Cheng destroyed his whole family. However, this has not happened yet, so why does Li Zhi know about it?
At a moment, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly had a thought in his heart: Li Zhi might not live long.
...
While he was hesitating, a report suddenly came that Mr. Yuan wanted to see the county magistrate.
Li Zhi laughed and stood up, leading Mr. Yuan to go.
After Li Zhi invited Mr. Yuan in for a look, Ma Xiaoquan realized that Mr. Yuan was Lu Xian's right-hand man Yuan Fang.
"Haha..." Yuan Fang raised his hand first, "Mr. Ma, you are fine, haha..."
Ma Xiaoquan returned the gift, and after the three of them sat down, they chatted casually for a while. During this period, the three of them only said some indifferent words, but what Li Zhi had said to Ma Xiaoquan before was in front of Yuan Fang.
Not a word was mentioned about the meeting.
Time passed quickly, and it was lunch time in a blink of an eye.
Li Zhi warmly invited Ma Xiaoquan and Yuan Fang to dinner.
During the meal, Yuan Fang picked up a glass of wine and asked Ma Xiaoquan, "I wonder if there is any news about the thing Mr. Ma is looking for?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and asked, "Why isn't your Mr. Lu here? Is he still looking for you now?"
Yuan Fang laughed loudly: "The things are at Yuan Shao's place. If my young master wants to take them, he can go and get them at any time."
Ma Xiaoquan retorted: "Then why don't you go and get it? Is it possible that Lu Xian is afraid of Yuan Shao?"
Yuan Fang: "..."
Ma Xiaoquan is right. Even if Yuan Fang has a "shadow guard" that he is proud of, it is impossible for him to negotiate directly with Yuan Shao. What's more, Yuan Shao likes rare treasures very much. Yuan Shu gave the solar recorder to him
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao naturally regarded him as a treasure. No matter how powerful Mr. Lu was, he couldn't possibly fight against a super warlord, right?
Seeing that Yuan Fang had stopped speaking, Ma Xiaoquan softened and said, "Actually, I have never understood why your young master is looking for that thing?"
Yuan Fang glanced at Li Zhi, nodded and said: "We are not outsiders. Let's tell Mr. Ma the truth. That thing belongs to my son."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed when he heard it.
Damn it, the solar recorder belongs to your son? What a joke, unless your son is also a time traveler.
Ma Xiaoquan asked Yuan Fang: "In that case, I have a few questions. I wonder if Mr. Yuan can answer them on your behalf?"
Yuan Fang shook his head: "Young master is the head of the family. How can my servants guess what the head of the family is thinking?"
Ma Xiaoquan sneered: "Then do you know that Mr. Li just told me some very useful news?"
Yuan Fang looked at Li Zhi, who glanced at Ma Xiaoquan resentfully.
Li Zhidao: "Haha, just kidding, in fact, what I just said to Mr. Ma was just some common things."
Yuan Fang asked: "Family routine? Then tell me about it."
Li Zhi said calmly: "Hey, in fact, to sum up, it can only be said to be one point, that is, today's Han Dynasty is not going to die soon."
Yuan Fang didn't believe it and turned to look at Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan said sincerely: It seems that Yuan Fang doesn't know the details of Li Zhi. Well, that's good. It seems that Lu Xian is not a time traveler.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and cooperated with Li Zhidao: "Yes, Mr. Li analyzed the current world situation for me. It's a pity. It's a pity that I am a big country... ugh"
Yuan Fang was not interested in the presence or absence of the Han Dynasty. Seeing that both of them spoke the same language, he stopped asking any more questions.
After lunch, Yuan Fang summoned a close confidant beside him: "Send a message to the young master, saying that Li Zhi has a different intention."
Ma Xiaoquan was also thinking repeatedly about the historical events Li Zhi had said.
"How is it possible? Where did Li Zhi get this information?" Ma Xiaoquan played with the four square gold coins in his hand and couldn't figure it out.
Hua Yuexin stepped forward and gently rubbed Ma Xiaoquan's temples: "Ms. sir, is something wrong?"
Ling'er also stepped forward and echoed: "Yes, sir, what's the matter?"
Ma Xiaoquan hummed twice and asked Hua Yuexin: "Yue'er, what do you think of Yuan Fang?"
Hua Yue thought for a while and said: "Yuan Fang is a very mysterious person. Yue'er only knows that he is Lu Xian's right-hand man. Yue'er really doesn't know the rest."
Ma Xiaoquan frowned: "One Lu Xian and one Li Zhi have already made me a little confused. I didn't expect another Yuan Fang to come out... It seems that it will be difficult for me to get my things back."
ah......"
Yuan Fang left in a hurry in the afternoon, without saying hello to Li Zhi when he left.
Li Zhi didn't mind. Seeing Yuan Fang leaving, Li Zhi hurriedly found Ma Xiaoquan and asked for the "Judgment of Prolonging Life and Longevity".
It's not that Ma Xiaoquan didn't want to give it, but that he had indeed forgotten that the so-called "Judgment of Prolonging Life and Longevity" was just the rap lyrics of nunchucks. After thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan decided to compile a song.
Based on the intermittent memory and Ma Xiaoquan's nonsense, a new "Judgment for Prolonging Life and Longevity" was released.
After getting the satisfactory "Judgment for Prolonging Life and Longevity", Li Zhi did not hide anything, he directly took out a sheepskin from his arms and handed it to Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan took it and unfolded it, and then he understood why Li Zhi knew the history.
It turns out that this piece of sheepskin was left by Huang Jingming, but on the sheepskin, Huang Jingming wrote a historical event in Chinese characters.
Li Zhi can be considered a talent. Huang Jingming writes in simplified Chinese. Li Zhi's ability to interpret this period of history is considered his ability.
Ma Xiaoquan asked Li Zhi: "Master Li, do you still have a copy?"
Li Zhi chuckled and said, "Brother Ma, you really don't believe me, Li Zhi. Li Zhi has no other request. He just wants to live longer. As for this sheepskin copy, Li Zhi has no interest at all."
Ma Xiaoquan clapped his hands and said: "In that case, I will teach you on demand again. This life-extending secret must not only be recited silently every day, but also imitated and practiced to be effective."
Li Zhi asked: "How to imitate?"
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while, you can imitate the movements of tigers, deer, bears, and apes, and recite the formula while practicing, the effect will be better.
Li Zhi nodded in understanding.
When they parted, Li Zhiyu held Ma Xiaoquan's hand and refused to let go for a long time.
Ma Xiaoquan is a modern person and is very taboo about men grabbing hands. Several times Ma Xiao wanted to pull back, but who knew that Li Zhi actually held on tighter.
It wasn't until the real separation that Li Zhi let go and said goodbye to Ma Xiaoquan and others.
After Ma Xiaoquan and the others left, Li Zhi couldn't wait to take out the "Judgment for Prolonging Life and Longevity" and added four characters on it, which read: tiger, deer, bear, ape.
At night, Li Zhizheng happily took the "Judgment of Prolonging Life and Longevity" and meditated silently. Suddenly, the door opened a crack.
Li Zhi thought it was the wind, so he stepped forward, holding the "Life-Prolonging Art" in one hand and preparing to close the door with the other.
However, at the moment when Li Zhi's hand was about to touch the door, a sharp knife was inserted through the crack of the door. Under the moonlight at night, the sharp knife shone with a faint cold light and looked extremely cold.
Li Zhi didn't have any defense at all. He only heard a "puff" sound, and the sharp knife pierced Li Zhi's chest.
"Uh" Li Zhi used his last bit of strength to open the door and took a look, then stretched out his trembling bloody hand, "You... you are... Lu...
..." Before Li Zhi could finish his words, someone pinched his chest again, and Li Zhi lost his voice.
Under the moonlight, the killer picked up the "Life-Prolonging Art" from Li Zhi's hand with an expressionless face and took a look.
"Hmph, the magic pill for prolonging life and longevity? I have the elixir in my hand, so what can I use it for?" After saying that, the killer threw the magic pill out of the wall.
After a while, an elderly man dressed as a charlatan passed by the wall of the county magistrate's office. He saw a roll of cloth thrown on the ground, picked it up, took out the fire folding book and looked at it for a few times.
"Huh? This..." the elder's eyes lit up and he said to himself, "I see, well, it would be better if we add crane after this... Okay
Well, let’s call it Wu Qin Xi... Well... This Wu Qin Xi still needs to be improved and improved, haha..."
The elder said, walking forward slowly. The end of this volume
