Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan went to Jingzhou first. The first place he went to was the home of the Ma brothers. There, Ma Xiaoquan met Kuai Yue and Cai He from Jingzhou...
Ma Xiaoquan felt quite helpless, because before this, these people did not know his identity as a marquis... This can only prove one thing, that is, the big mouth skills of Kuai Yue and Cai He are really profound.
But it's okay, the title of Shenxian Marquis was originally conferred by the emperor himself. After all, he was an official of the imperial court. Since everyone knows it, it doesn't matter. On the contrary, it also provides certain convenience for Ma Xiaoquan to integrate into Jingzhou's wealthy families.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was drunk and staggering...
Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his swollen temples and stood up unsteadily.
Ma Xiaoquan doesn't drink much, and this one drink has already exceeded his limit.
Ma Yu stepped forward, supported Ma Xiaoquan, and helped Ma Xiaoquan out of the banquet hall.
As soon as he left the hall, Ma Xiaoquan let out a "wow" sound and started to vomit.
After spitting it out, he felt much better and sobered up immediately. Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and asked Ma Yu: "I...I...want you to find...find my apprentice, you go
...Have you gone?"
Ma Yu nodded and said respectfully: "Reply to the master, have you gone?"
"I...why didn't I see him coming?"
Ma Yu said helplessly: "Master, your disciple doesn't believe what our brothers say."
"Hmm... uh? No... don't believe it? Didn't you... uh... show him my token?"
Ma Yu nodded: "In response to what the master said, we all showed it to him, but he threw it on the ground and kicked us out..."
"Uh" Ma Xiaoquan really had a headache. Ma Yu was still talking, but Ma Xiaoquan didn't listen to the next words...
At noon the next day, the first thing Ma Xiaoquan did when he woke up was to summon the Ma brothers to him and ask them what happened last night.
The Ma brothers looked at each other and said in unison: "Last night was normal, nothing else happened."
Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his temples, shook his head and said, "Then my apprentice... have you gone to find him?"
Ma Yu said: "Master, you asked this question last night, and I also answered it."
"Oh...what did I say last night? How did you answer?"
Ma Yudao: "The master asked me if I had looked for the master's apprentice. I replied that I had, but I didn't find him because the master's apprentice did not recognize us. He also threw out the token given by the master..."
When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he was a little annoyed and said: "That's unreasonable. This kid's wings have grown hard... Okay, where does he live now? I'll go there in person today..."
The Ma brothers looked at each other again and said respectfully: "We brothers are willing to go with the master!"
"Um!"
...
In a mansion in Xiangyang, Mao Gang sat firmly in the main hall seat, listening to the report of the situation by his subordinates in front of him.
The subordinate said respectfully: "Master, I heard that Master Shangxian arrived in Xiangyang yesterday..."
Mao Gang said expressionlessly: "I know, he sent someone to look for me yesterday, but he asked me to be kicked out."
After Mao Gang finished speaking, he glanced sideways at Ding Yi beside him.
Ding Yi stood quietly and said nothing. It has been some years since his master Ma Xiaoquan sent Ding Yi to Jingzhou. Over the years, Ding Yi has been following Mao Gang, from a subordinate to Mao Gang's aide, becoming
He became the most trustworthy person under Mao Gang.
Mao Gang took a breath and asked Ding Yi: "Ding Yi, he is here, should I go to see him, or should I pretend not to know?"
Ding Yi thought for a moment: "Young Master... You kicked those two brothers out last night. I'm afraid he already knows today... Instead of pretending not to know, it's better to do this...
..."
Ding Yi came up with a plan for Mao Gang. Mao Gang listened and praised: "Ding Yi is Ding Yi. You know his habits like the back of your hand. Okay, I'll do as you say."
.....By the way, don’t call me young master from now on, call me master..."
Ding Yi said respectfully: "Yes! Master!"
Mao Gang stood up and patted Ding Yi on the shoulder: "Ding Yi, I know and understand that you used to be his subordinate, but now, you are already one of me..."
Ding Yi worriedly said: "Master, even though you have said this, your identity is still..."
Mao Gang sneered: "You mean that purple-haired guy? Don't worry, I will be more respectful in front of him. However, I have also been cultivating my power over the years. When the time is right, his things will be mined.
Including his women, I want them all..."
"Master, you..."
Mao Gang rolled his tongue: "Huayue Xin, Hua Yuexin, do you know that I fell in love with you the first time I saw you? Although you are his woman, I guarantee that there will always be someone
One day, I will press you under my crotch, hum!"
...
While Mao Gang was having sex, a servant hurriedly ran in, knelt down in front of Mao Gang, and said out of breath: "Master...Master...
He...he's coming..."
Mao Gang frowned slightly: "He? Who is here?"
Ding Yi gave the servant a bowl of water.
After the servant drank the water, he exhaled and said: "Reply to the master, the master is here..."
"Presumptuous!" Mao Gang stood up, kicked the servant, and cursed, "How many times have I told you that in front of me, I will address him all by him? I have said it."
How many times, are you a pig brain?"
The servant was so frightened that he quickly turned over and kowtowed to Mao Gang in confession.
Mao Gang was so angry that he wanted to step forward and kick the servant again. Ding Yiyi grabbed Mao Gang and persuaded him: "Master, you brought Huanglong here when you came to Jingzhou. I have been with you for so long. Master, please forgive me."
Let him pass..."
Mao Gang snorted coldly and rolled his sleeves: "Nian Dingyi is begging you, get out! Get out!"
The servant named Huang Long bowed and retreated in panic.
"snort!"
Ding Yi stepped forward and advised Mao Gang: "Master, calm down. That Huanglong was just confused for a moment. Master, that person should be here soon!"
Mao Gang curled his lips and said to Ding Yi: "Just do it your way!"
Ding Yi nodded: "Yes!"
...
Ma Xiaoquan led the Ma brothers to the door of a mansion and knocked on the door, but no one moved. After knocking a few more times, someone opened the door a crack.
A pair of eyes slipped out from the crack in the door, looked at Ma Xiaoquan, and asked, "Who are you?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said impatiently: "Open the door!"
The man rolled his eyes: "Why? Do you know where this place is?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Where? I don't know where it is, but I know that the owner of this mansion is my apprentice. Open the door!"
"Oh, you call yourself an immortal. Look at your purple hair. I don't know where you came from. You are a swindler. Get out of here!"
With a "bang" sound, the courtyard door closed.
After being rejected, Ma Xiaoquan became a little annoyed.
The Ma brothers stepped forward and said respectfully: "Master, how about we kick the door open?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Kick it open? You don't even know what this door is made of. Let alone kicking it, it will take a long time to chop it with a knife or an axe!"
Ma Yu said: "Master, we can't let you wait outside, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Who said I had to wait?" After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan concentrated his energy, and with a bang, his hands ignited with crimson flames.
All this has actually been seen clearly by Ding Yi on the balcony.
Ding Yi knew that Ma Xiaoquan's ability to control fire, especially the power of crimson flames, was extraordinary.
Ding Yi smiled slightly, jumped off the platform quickly, ran quickly into the courtyard, and shouted: "What are you doing?"
"Huh?" Outside the courtyard gate, Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured, "This voice seems to be Ding Yi's."
Ma Xiaoquan extinguished the flame in his hand and shouted into the courtyard: "Is there Ding Yi in the courtyard?"
Ding Yi ordered his servants to open the door, then stepped forward to greet him with a playful smile: "Master, are you really the master?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand helplessly: "Don't you know it's me?"
Ding Yi blushed and said: "The master doesn't know something. Recently, for some reason, there have been so many people pretending to be the master..."
Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there anyone else pretending to be me?"
Ding Yi nodded: "Yes, for this reason, your beloved disciple Mao Gang is exhausted."
Ma Xiaoquan exclaimed and asked, "Where is Mao Gang? Where is he?"
Ding Yi said: "Master Mao has been ill recently and is resting in the bedroom..."
"That's not right..." Ma brothers answered, "Obviously last night..."
Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand to stop the Ma brothers and said: "Then let me go and have a look. Hey, it's been so long. I wonder how this kid Mao Gang is doing? Ding Yi, lead the way!"
Ding Yi said respectfully: "Yes!"
...
Several people came to a bedroom, and Ding Yi knocked on the bedroom door respectfully.
The door opened with a creak, and a beautiful woman slowly walked out of the room. The beautiful woman glanced at Ding Yiyi, and their eyes briefly communicated. Ding Yi said: "Madam, how is Mr. Mao?"
The beautiful woman said: "Not too optimistic, still resting..."
Ding Yi turned his head and glanced at Ma Xiaoquan. Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and said, "What's wrong with Mao Gang?"
The beautiful woman looked at Ma Xiaoquan and asked Ding Yi: "Mr. Ding, who is this?"
Ding Yi said: "Oh, I forgot to introduce you, madam, this is the master of Young Master Mao Gang, and also my master! Master Shangxian!"
