"Haha, sir, lock the door when you go out. It's not peaceful here after all." The shop owner said.
Ma Xiaoquan took the keys and clothes and thought, maybe this inn is a black shop.
Although he thought so in his heart, Ma Xiaoquan needed to rest and eat something, so the black shop should leave him alone first.
...
With a creak, the door was pushed open. Ma Xiaoquan walked in and saw that the room was not big, with just a bed and no table.
It doesn't matter, as long as I can sleep.
Approaching the bed, Ma Xiaoquan groped around on the bed vigilantly. Sure enough, in a corner of the bed, Ma Xiaoquan came across a movable mechanism.
"It's interesting~" Ma Xiaoquan laughed, thinking that he had been in trouble all the way. First, he was chased by the Assassin's League, and now he was fine, and he came to a black shop again.
Now that the mechanism on the bed has been discovered, regardless of what is touched, at least the nature of this inn is more certain.
Ma Xiaoquan gently lifted down the sheets and mattress on the bed and threw them on the ground, making a bunk for himself.
After laying down the floor and lying down, Ma Xiaoquan was finally able to stretch out comfortably.
I had just yawned twice and was about to take a rest when I heard noisy shouting outside the house.
"Damn it, that Ma Xiaoquan was so cunning that he wasn't hit. Musha should have escaped as well."
"It's really unlucky. If nothing else, Musa will definitely take revenge on us if she is alive."
"Hmph, are you two so afraid of her? Is it possible that she can fight against us Shadow Guards alone?"
"That's right, no matter how powerful she is, Musa, she can't be more powerful than our ANBU."
...
In the room, Ma Xiaoquan snorted and murmured: "Shadow guard? ANBU? Why does it sound so familiar?"
After squinting his eyes and recalling it, Ma Xiaoquan slapped his forehead: "Holy shit, wasn't it the grandson of Lu Xian who created the Shadow Guards back then, and the ANBU, which was what my evil disciple Mao Gang did...
..”
Thinking of these two people, Ma Xiaoquan felt very suffocated, especially Mao Gang. He had been so devoted to him in the late Han Dynasty, but he didn't expect that in the end he would betray him and kill Hua Yuexin...
..Although the subsequent events were not followed up because Ma Xiaoquan left, but looking at the Ma family classics, it is said that his third son Ma Zheng eradicated Mao Gang's lineage.
The classics say that they have been eradicated, so why do ANBU still appear? Is it possible that the classics are also fake?
Shaking his head, Ma Xiaoquan took a breath and calmed down and stopped thinking about it.
"From the sound just now, it sounds like they are the people from the Assassin's Alliance who harmed me before..." Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin, feeling a little uneasy. From the tone of this group of people, they were coming with bad intentions.
Since they had just entered the store, if they asked the store owner, would the store owner...
Whatever you don't want, come to you.
Before Ma Xiaoquan finished thinking, Tian Shuiyi's voice came from outside the house: "Boss, did anyone come to your inn just now?"
"Haha... This guest officer is not an ordinary person at first glance. You might not believe me when I say that no one came, but... a few did come, eh
, are all upstairs. Is it possible that the guest officer is from the government? If so, please show your government sign so that I can assist you in handling the case."
"Haha... It's not necessary. I don't mean anything by asking. The boss also saw it. There are many of us, so we want to find a quiet place to rest."
"Oh, the guest officer came here after all. We really have three sets of good guest rooms on this floor. Oh no, it's two sets, two sets..."
"Well, we should have three sets..."
"Oh, I'm so sorry. The hotel is small, with only three guest rooms. One of them is already occupied, and now there are only two left."
"This..." Tian Shuiyi and Huang Jialiang looked at each other, then looked at the shadow guards and ANBU behind them.
"The way I see it... there are only two rooms. We are just taking a break anyway. Why don't Brother Huang and I separate? I will go with the people from the shadow guard, and Brother Huang will go with the brothers from the ANBU. You see
How is it?"
"Okay, this is the only way~ Boss, just open two rooms~"
"Okay, that's good, that's good~"
...
Ma Xiaoquan frowned and squatted quietly under the door. He heard the conversation outside the door. Damn it, these assassins are really haunting.
But it's also strange that the boss's tone doesn't sound like he's with them.
Just when he thought of this, Ma Xiaoquan shook his head again and murmured: "What if it's just a show outside? Huh, it's really treacherous..."
Ma Xiaoquan planned to wait for the opportunity and sneak away quietly, but just as he was packing everything, the door suddenly rang.
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned and thought, these guys came up so quickly?
Well prepared to meet the enemy, Ma Xiaoquan said: "Who is it?"
"Oh, sir, it's me..." the shop owner's voice came from outside the door.
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned and wondered what this guy was doing all of a sudden? He didn't seem to have called him, right?
"Oh, it's the store owner~~ I'm already asleep. If there's nothing else, can we talk tomorrow?" Ma Xiaoquan responded in a deliberately lazy voice.
"Oh, I'm already asleep. Now, I don't have anything to do here. I just want to settle the guest and close the door..."
"Well, thank you shop owner, I've closed it."
After the store owner left, Ma Xiaoquan squinted his eyes and murmured: "This guy asked me to close the door. What's wrong? Could something happen?"
Shaking his head helplessly, Ma Xiaoquan said with a bitter smile: "I really never had a good rest during this journey, ugh~~"
Complaints are complaints, and precautions should be taken. Ma Xiaoquan looked around and found that the slightly advantageous place in the house was probably the beams of the house.
The beam is quite thick. If a person lies down on it, he won't be able to see it from below.
After thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan decided to go to the rafters.
Since he didn't have any tools, Ma Xiaoquan could only tie his clothes and trousers together, and reluctantly made a length of rope. He threw it away. It was not bad, and it was finally long enough.
After exhaling, Ma Xiaoquan lowered his weight to the lightest level, then pulled the simple rope made of pants and clothes with both hands, and climbed up the beam of the house without much effort.
After getting on the beam, Ma Xiaoquan pulled up his clothes and trousers, pulled away the knots, and put his clothes and trousers back on.
"Hey, what a tragedy. I didn't expect that I, Ma Xiaoquan, would become a gentleman in Liang Shang, a gentleman in Liang Shang..." Ma Xiaoquan laughed at himself.
...
Less than a quarter of an hour later, there was a slight movement outside the door. Since Ma Xiaoquan was at a high place and was more sensitive to sounds, he immediately captured the source of the movement.
The other party seemed to be moving the door bolt of his room. Unfortunately, the long hook that stretched in did not poke the door bolt open. The reason was simple. Ma Xiaoquan made two ropes with cloth strips and tied the door bolt.
After struggling for a while, the door couldn't be opened. The other party seemed to realize something and retracted the long hook.
It fell into silence again, but not long after, noises and fighting came from the other side of the house.
Ma Xiaoquan was suspicious, had something happened? He wanted to jump off the beam, but when he thought about it, what if it was still a seduction plan by those assassins?
Holding back his curiosity, Ma Xiaoquan continued to sit on the beam without making any movement.
...
Something happened outside the house, and it was quite serious.
The reason is very simple. The store owner attacked people from the Assassin's League.
The store owner seemed to know that these people in the Alliance were difficult to deal with, so he made a lot of preparations before taking action.
It's a pity that the store owner is still too green for guys like the League of Assassins.
A lot of preparation work is child's play in front of people in the Assassin's League.
The fight ended quickly. One of the shadow guards put a short knife against the innkeeper's neck artery and said with a smile: "Old guy, I actually saw that your inn was unusual earlier. I didn't expect you to be so restless.
Angry... hum..."
The shop owner smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "I have nothing to say if you counterattack me. It seems that we are all on the right track, just taking advantage of others. I am not as good as others, so I accept my defeat."
"You eat black people?" Shadow Guard smiled slightly and said, "You are right, well, but... I have a question for you, has there ever been a man here who is about this tall?
, with a mouthful of Beijing movies..."
The shop owner lowered his head, rolled his eyes slightly, raised his head and said, "Indeed, he does, but he doesn't live there."
The store owner lied.
"Oh, gone, no one lives there? Didn't you say there is someone living in another room? Who is that?"
The shop owner nodded: "That's just a passer-by. If you don't believe it, you can search the rooms one by one. Anyway, there are only a few rooms, and you will finish the search quickly."
"Hmph, stop playing tricks. I'm afraid that man has never been to your inn. We can see that your inn is not clean. I don't believe that man, can't you tell?"
The shop owner shook his head: "How do I know? If you think I'm lying, you can kill me. Anyway, I have lived enough."
An ANBU man pulled out his saber and stabbed the shop owner. The shadow guard quickly picked up the saber and held it at bay, saying, "What are you doing?"
The ANBU people disapproved and said: "Isn't he going to die? Then let him die~"
"Hmph, this is his way of provoking generals. Do you ANBU people all have pig brains?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were several clanging sounds, and everyone in the ANBU drew their sabers. The shadow guards did not show any weakness and followed suit, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense...
