The two nodded sinisterly and reached a tacit understanding with just one sentence.
Afterwards, the two of them acted separately. One of them rushed towards a camp where Cao's soldiers were resting, while the other went straight to the camp where Ma Xiaoquan was resting.
It was already late at night, and although the soldiers of Cao's army had fallen asleep, they did not sleep deeply. The long battles had made these soldiers develop a habit, that is, when sleeping, their swords and guns would not leave their bodies.
A soldier yawned and sat up, licking his lips. He felt thirsty, so he stood up gently, holding his saber, and walked to the marching pot to drink water. In the same camp, other soldiers
The soldier comrades squinted their eyes slightly and looked at it. Someone asked a question, the soldier answered, and everyone fell asleep again.
The moment the soldier's hand was about to touch the marching pot, another hand also stretched out. However, this hand was not stretched towards the marching pot, but towards the soldier's neck.
The soldier was very alert. The moment the hand was about to touch his neck, the soldier subconsciously hid.
It came up empty.
However, it was too dark inside the camp and I couldn't see anything.
The soldier thought it was a flying insect in the wild that had entered the camp, so he didn't pay much attention. He took the marching pot, raised his head, and drank.
In another darkness, a pair of black eyes completely merged with the darkness. These eyes looked directly at the neck of the Cao Jun soldier, as if he could see the soldier who was drinking water.
.
"Gurgling...ah" After quenching his thirst, the soldier wiped his mouth, put down his marching pot, and quietly climbed into bed, preparing to continue sleeping.
However, at this moment, the soldier suddenly felt very sleepy and tired. He shook his head vigorously, and finally couldn't hold on anymore, and fell down next to the bed with a thud.
The sound of this soldier falling to the ground alerted other colleagues in the camp. After hearing a few "clang, clang, clang, clang, clang" sounds, the remaining Cao soldiers drew their sabers one after another.
Someone blew the fire and took a look at it, sighed and cursed: "You bitch, just sleep better, I will be frightened..." As the man said this, he exhaled again.
Blow out the fire.
The camp was plunged into darkness again. Several soldiers laughed a few times and fell back to sleep.
...
In the center is the tent where Master Ma Xiaoquan lives.
A dark figure quietly lurked outside the camp. He looked around and saw nothing unusual, then carefully took out a thin bamboo tube.
He stretched the bamboo tube through the gap in the tent, then puffed his mouth and blew into the bamboo tube.
No one knows what this black shadow blew into Ma Xiaoquan's tent, but judging from the look in his eyes after he finished blowing, he seemed to be very proud.
In the camp, Ma Xiaoquan was sleeping with his arms and legs spread out, and his mouth was drooling.
Normally, Ma Xiaoquan would never be like this. It was only when the black shadow blew just now that Ma Xiaoquan slept in such a miserable state.
That's right, the thing that blew the black shadow into the camp was the drug.
In the tent, Ma Xiaoquan, who had been drugged out, had his head clasped, as if he was still dreaming. At this time, beside him, the dark figure that was outside the tent before had quietly come in.
"What the hell are you talking about? You're a god, why don't you sleep like ordinary people?" The man spoke in a very low voice. If he had spoken before, Ma Xiaoquan would have been alert, but now... Ma Xiaoquan has been drugged.
I was so stunned that I had no idea that there was a person standing next to me at this moment.
The black shadow lightly kicked Ma Xiaoquan with his foot and said disdainfully: "Are you still fucking dreaming?"
At this time, another black shadow appeared next to the black shadow.
The black shadow from before didn't even look at it, and said directly: "Why are you here just now?"
"Hmph, do you think the poisoning job is easy? How about we switch?"
"I don't want it. Poisoning is your special skill, and drugging is my special skill."
"You are so damn shameless. I don't know how many decent women have been killed by your drugs..."
"Hey, don't be so aloof. If it wasn't my poison, how could you have so many people testing your poison?"
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. What should we do, just kill him?"
"No, no? Didn't you hear the master say that this guy is immortal?"
"Immortality is a joke. Let's chop off his head and see how he doesn't die?"
The black shadow who was good at using drugs waved his hand: "That's boring then. How about we compete again and see who can kill more people?"
Heiying, who is good at using poison, thought for a moment, nodded and said: "That's fine, but what about this evil way?"
"Easy to say, kill him in the end. Whoever kills more will have the right to kill him. How about that?"
"It's a deal! However, in order to prevent this guy from counterattack, I think it is necessary for us to do something to him first."
The black shadow, who is good at using poisons, curled his lips: "Do you want to use the poison you recently made again?"
"Haha, look what you said, it's so easy to find a meat cauldron with good physique, how can you let it go so easily?"
"It's up to you." After saying that, the dark shadow, who was good at using drugs, flashed out of the tent.
...
Early the next morning, Ma Xiaoquan got up to exercise. After just a few punches, he felt weak in his limbs.
"What's going on?" Ma Xiaoquan moved his joints a few more times.
After moving his joints, Ma Xiaoquan punched a few more times. This time, his limbs seemed to no longer hurt.
"Oh, hehe, it seems that there has been a lot of activity recently, hehe..."
Ma Xiaoquan actually had no idea that he had been poisoned, but the poison had a certain incubation period.
At this time, several Cao Jun soldiers hurried over and reported to Ma Xiaoquan out of breath: "Report...report...report to Lord Shangxian, Lei...
..Leizi...they...all of them are gone."
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan stopped and asked, "How can such a big person disappear just like he said? Have you found him?"
A soldier who had regained his breath nodded and said: "We have searched all over the place within a three-mile radius, but we can't see their people."
Ma Xiaoquan asked again: "How many people are missing?"
"Seven!"
"What did they do?"
"Back to Master Shangxian, they were all the people who were responsible for guarding the treasure for Master Shangxian last night."
"What about the two carts of treasure?"
"They're all here, not a single one is missing!"
"It's strange!" Ma Xiaoquan scratched his scalp, "This doesn't make sense. You said it's strange that one person disappeared. How come seven people disappeared at once? Moreover, no one looked at the treasure overnight, and it was not lost.
?”
Ma Xiaoquan ordered the remaining soldiers of Cao's army to search carefully again. After no success, everyone gave up the search and continued on their way.
On the way, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't figure out where the seven soldiers had gone. Let's talk about deserters. These are veterans of Cao Cao's direct lineage. There is no need to say that they are loyal to Cao Cao. If I have to give an explanation, I can only say that they are seven soldiers.
They all quietly returned to Cao Cao to continue fighting.
At night, Ma Xiaoquan held a small meeting and expressed his thoughts.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "I'm afraid you are also thinking about your lord Cao Cao. Well, I won't force you. If someone wants to leave and go to your lord to continue fighting, I will not object. After all, I and your family have no objection."
Lord’s best friend…”
After Ma Xiaoquan said this, a dozen soldiers actually stood up and expressed their desire to go back and continue fighting with their lord Cao Cao.
Ma Xiaoquan refused to stay, gave them a bunch of money, and let them go.
To the remaining soldiers, Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Why don't you go?"
Someone replied: "Master Shangxian, the Lord has ordered us to escort Master Shangxian and the treasure back to Xuchang safely, and we must do it!"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and sighed: "Xiao Cao is lucky to have people like you helping him. Okay, let's continue on our way and try to reach Xuchang as soon as possible."
...
Night came again. This night, Ma Xiaoquan adjusted the number of people in the rotation from five to eight at each time. At the same time, he also redefined the time for the rotation. After calculation, it happened to be one for each group.
The two hours combined are about 4 hours now.
However, despite this, when the next day came, there were still people missing without any reason.
"Lord Immortal, this time, 6 people are missing again..."
Ma Xiaoquan was helpless. For two consecutive days, 7 people disappeared on the first day and 6 on the second day. If this continued, it was very likely that someone would disappear on the third night.
I don’t know who shouted: “Is it because a ghost is breaking the wall?”
This sentence is like two drops of water in a hot pot, and it explodes all of a sudden.
Everyone started talking about it.
People in this era believed very much in gods, devils, and monsters. The more they talked about it, the more they became more and more evil. For a while, everyone was in a panic.
"Quiet, quiet... quiet, quiet... please give me the damn peace of mind!" Ma Xiaoquan shouted several times, and everyone stopped talking until he cursed.
Seeing everyone's horrified expressions, Ma Xiaoquan felt helpless.
If someone disappears for no reason, it must be an ambush. Ma Xiaoquan wants to make a good guess. However, this is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, an era when gods, demons and monsters are very popular. Although Cao Cao doesn't believe in these things, he
After all, the soldiers under my command are all people whose voices are heard by the people.
There was no other way, so Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to follow everyone's wishes and said: "Everyone, please listen to what I say. Today, I will start a ritual to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters for everyone!"
After hearing Master Shangxian's promise, everyone became completely quiet.
In the evening, Ma Xiaoquan really "opened the altar and performed the Dharma", but at the end of the night, five more people disappeared without any reason.
...
Based on his professional judgment, Ma Xiaoquan was able to conclude that he had fallen into someone else's trap. However, at this moment, Cao's army was already in chaos.
These veterans could die on the battlefield, but they would never allow themselves to be taken away and eaten by ghosts and frightened to death. Gradually, discordant voices began to appear among the soldiers, and everyone began to doubt Ma Xiaoquan.
