It was a bit cold outside the house, and Ma Xiaoquan was wearing clothes, but still felt cautious.
The inn was not very big to begin with. Although it was close to the official road, the place was a bit remote.
Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and glanced at the night sky. The stars seemed to be hiding in the clouds. Above his head, there was nothing but the crooked white moon.
"Huh~~~" Ma Xiaoquan took a breath, and a chill flowed down his throat and into his heart and lungs.
He unbuckled his belt, took out the baby from his crotch, and was about to take a quick pee when the sound of a child crying came from the room behind him.
Ma Xiaoquan sighed, and had no choice but to suppress the urge to pee, pick up his pants, and walk into the house.
The moment Ma Xiaoquan turned around, two black shadows suddenly shot out, and two rays of cold light streaked down Ma Xiaoquan's crotch and neck.
Ma Xiaoquan's sleepiness had not completely subsided, and his head was still a little dizzy at this time. Two cold lights struck him, and he was completely unaware of it.
Fortunately, with the protection of the steel body, there were only two squeaks, and Ma Xiaoquan's crotch and collar were cut open, but his skin did not suffer any damage.
With a jolt, Ma Xiaoquan came to his senses, subconsciously crouched down, swept his legs, and attacked behind him.
Unfortunately, Ma Xiaoquan's sweeping leg was empty, and there was nothing behind him.
"Fangfang~" Ma Xiaoquan reacted and jumped towards the bedroom with a crawl.
The door was open, and the sound of his son's crying came from inside again.
All the hair on Ma Xiao's body stood up. He gritted his teeth and rushed into the room.
A soft and delicate body bumped into Ma Xiaoquan's body, and Ma Xiaoquan hugged her subconsciously. The next moment, the sound of a knife stabbed repeatedly in his lower abdomen.
Although he had a steel body, the opponent's weapons seemed to be very sharp, which caused Ma Xiaoquan's belly to hurt.
Ma Xiaoquan grabbed upwards along the delicate body, trying to grab the other person's neck. Unexpectedly, the other person shrank back and nimbly slipped away from his crotch.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't have time to pay attention. He stepped forward to the bed and lifted the quilt.
Under the quilt, Fangfang was holding her son Zhifeng and shivering. When she saw Ma Xiaoquan standing in front of her, Fangfang flattened her mouth and was about to cry.
Ma Xiaoquan whispered, Fangfang bit her lower lip and endured it.
Ma Xiaoquan turned around and kept scanning the room with his eyes.
It was pitch dark and nothing could be seen, but the cold wind blowing in from outside the door allowed air to circulate inside the house.
Xiao Zhifeng also stopped crying under Fangfang's coaxing. It has to be said that in such a tense situation, the little guy actually continued to sleep after crying a few times.
Well, at least Fangfang and her son are safe.
Ma Xiaoquan protected the bed, holding one side of the bed with one hand and blocking Fangfang's body with the other.
Fangfang held Xiao Zhifeng in her arms, forming a circle with her arms to protect her son in the middle. She lowered her head very low, using her petite body to protect her son in all directions.
With two "swish" sounds, two darts flew from nowhere and hit Ma Xiaoquan's eyes directly.
Ma Xiaoquan subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, and then he heard two jingles and two darts fell to the ground.
"Damn~~" Ma Xiaoquan cursed angrily, quickly took out the fire stick in his arms, blew it in a circle and took a look. Unfortunately, the light of the fire stick was too weak and could only illuminate a very limited range.
.
Even so, Ma Xiaoquan still saw two dark figures.
Ma Xiaoquan was angry. Who the hell was attacking him? It was so frustrating.
"Fangfang, hold it back. Whatever happens next, you have to hold it back~"
"I understand, sir~"
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and exhaled softly. Under the dim firelight, the breath he exhaled could be seen with the naked eye.
"Drink~~" Ma Xiaoquan roared, and the air around him seemed to have weight.
The coverage area of Ma Xiaoquan's gravity field can reach twelve meters, and the total effective space of his bedroom is less than ten square meters. Therefore, as long as his attacker hides in the bedroom, he can be covered and oppressed by the gravity field.
With a "crash", the table not far from the bed fell apart first because it reached the maximum gravity endurance.
Immediately afterwards, the house also began to shake.
"Crack~~" The beams of the house made a cracking sound. It seemed that if more force was applied, the entire beam might break.
"You haven't shown up yet?" Ma Xiaoquan roared and shouted towards the screen.
In fact, as early as the moment his gravity field dispersed, the two assassins hiding behind the screen had already felt strong oppression.
The two wanted to raise the daggers in their hands and sneak out in the darkness, but when they moved, they felt the heavy weight, as if there was something pressing on them, making it difficult to move.
Ma Xiaoquan walked slowly towards the screen, one step at a time, one step at a time.
The two assassins were not simple either. They knew that their actions were blocked and could not move dexterously, but they still used their personal willpower to forcibly shout out a code word.
As soon as the sound came out, there was a crashing sound of tiles falling on the roof. Ma Xiaoquan frowned, and as soon as his consciousness relaxed a little, the two assassins behind the screen took advantage of him.
Two scimitars struck him from the left and the right, and Ma Xiaoquan had no way to avoid it. The blade of the scimitar hit both of his ears, causing his eardrums to swell.
At this time, a cool breeze suddenly blew from outside the house, blowing out the fire stick in Ma Xiaoquan's hand, and the house fell into darkness again for an instant.
Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to give up lifting the screen and return to the bed to protect Fangfang and her son.
"Ding ding ding", Ma Xiaoquan was hit by several hidden weapons in his back, but due to his steel body, the hidden weapons did not enter his body.
"Fuck~~" Ma Xiaoquan cursed angrily, turned around, and stamped his feet fiercely. Hearing a roar, the whole room shook instantly. The next moment, the roof beams cracked and broke.
...
Such a loud noise finally alerted the three officers and soldiers in the post house. They were not wearing neat clothes and pants, and ran towards the source of the sound with their sabers in hand.
Outside the house, a female voice came: "The wind is tight~~~It's so tight~~~"
Immediately, Ma Xiaoquan felt a whooshing sound coming from different directions.
By the time the officers and soldiers came closer with torches, the previous assassins had already disappeared.
"Sir~~" The two officers and soldiers came forward and saw the sullen Ma Xiaoquan, and said tremblingly, "Sir, are you okay?"
Ma Xiaoquan frowned slightly and asked, "There are assassins coming, and you didn't even know that you were sleeping?"
Ma Xiaoquan's tone was very unfriendly and full of questioning. After hearing this, an officer and soldier said unhappily: "How did we know that this is a post house, not a government office. Your Excellency is staying here, and we are only responsible for your accommodation."
.”
"What did you say?" Ma Xiaoquan was angry.
"Humph, sir, what does it matter if you come from the capital city? This is not the capital city. So, my uncle is the prefect. If you have any objections, you can talk to me..."
Before the officer finished speaking, Ma Xiaoquan grabbed his neck.
"Really? Your uncle is the prefect. Okay, so if the imperial official is attacked in the post house, should he, as the prefect, take care of it?" After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan let go of his hand.
The officer and soldier covered his neck and took several breaths before he regained his composure.
"You...don't you want to live anymore? Do you know that you have offended people you shouldn't have offended?"
Ma Xiaoquan raised his foot and kicked the arrogant officer and soldier to the ground, then took out the Jin Yiwei Deacon sign from his waist, threw it to him, and cursed: "You idiot, take this sign and go."
Show it to your uncle and give him half an hour to come over. If he can't come over, you uncle and nephew will come over to see me with their heads raised."
The night was too dark, and the torchlight was not bright enough. The officer fumbled for Ma Xiaoquan's discarded waist badge, glanced at it suspiciously, and ran away in tears.
"Both of you, don't be stunned. Find me a new room. It's crazy." Ma Xiaoquan ordered.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, a fat man dressed as a county magistrate ran up to Ma Xiaoquan, sweating profusely.
At this time, Ma Xiaoquan has temporarily settled in another place. Although it is not as good as the previous Guanyi, it is still okay to take a rest.
"Ma...oh no, deacon...deacon, I have seen the deacon..." The fat county magistrate knelt down in front of Ma Xiaoquan with a thump, the look on his face
Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks like beans.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't even look at them. He frowned and asked, "Where are my men who came with me when it was not dark? Where are the people? Why didn't I see any of them?"
"Ah? This..." The fat county magistrate turned to his nephew behind him, the officer and soldier who had been beaten by Ma Xiaoquan just now, and shouted, "Go and see right away, what's going on?"
The officer and soldier nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes~~"
At this moment, two officers and soldiers helped a man in. Ma Xiaoquan took a closer look and saw that it was a guard following him.
There was a bloody wound on the guard's arm. When he was helped in, it had not been bandaged yet. Fangfang couldn't stand it anymore. She stepped forward and pulled off the hem of her clothes, bandaged the guard, and then looked at the guard with a slight frown.
Fat County Magistrate.
"When you help people in, don't you bandage their wounds?" Fangfang interrogated unhappily.
"No..." The Ma family guard shook his head and said weakly, "Mrs. Fangfang, I asked them to help me here first. I was afraid that something would happen to you and your lady..."
Ma Xiaoquan stood up, walked to the guard, nodded and said: "We are fine, but you? Why are you alone, and how many others are left?"
The guard sighed: "Being... killed..."
"What?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned, shook his head and said, "Isn't it right? You guys are my selected strong soldiers. In terms of skill, you are very strong. How could you have killed so many people?"
The guard shook his head: "Sir, if we are face to face, to be honest, we are really sure, but it is night, it is dark, we can't see anything, a few brothers are like this..."
At this point, the guard's voice became choked with sobs.
