Summary of the previous chapter: The design competition is about to begin. There are two competition contents... After two rounds of elimination, Yang Liang, whom Ma Xiaoquan knew, successfully broke through and became a water conservancy official under Cao Cao's account...
Ma Xiaoquan turned his head and glanced. Yang Liang had been standing not far behind him since unknown time.
"Brother Tianming, why don't you continue drinking?"
Yang Liang stepped forward with a wry smile and said: "The Prime Minister is old and drinks a lot. My drinking capacity is not good at all. I can't drink anymore, haha..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said, "Brother Tianming doesn't drink, maybe he's looking for me?"
Yang Liang was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.
"Brother Ma deserves to be called an immortal. Haha, yes, I am indeed here to see Brother Ma."
Ma Xiaoquan was not surprised by Yang Liang's straightforwardness. It could be said that from the moment Ma Xiaoquan saw Yang Liang, he roughly guessed Yang Liang's purpose.
"Tell me, why did you come all the way to Yecheng to find me?"
Yang Liang said: "To be honest, my Yang family has a cousin in Yecheng..."
"Tell the important point!"
Yang Liang's face turned slightly red and he said, "It is said that the patriarch of my family is related to a man named Lu Xian."
Ma Xiaoquan's heart trembled and he said: "Mr. Lu? Is your family's patriarch related to Lu Xian?"
Yang Liang nodded: "Exactly!"
"What's the connection? Is it possible that the patriarch of your family is having sex with that boy Lu Xian?"
Yang Liang asked: "What is gay?"
Ma Xiaoquan explained righteously: "Well, it means the relationship is very bad."
"Oh?" Yang Liang said in surprise, "How does Brother Ma know that the patriarch of my family has a bad relationship with Na Lu Xian?"
Ma Xiaoquan sneered in his heart, even if we are really good friends, I will put your Yang family in opposition to Lu Xian. His grandma, this old boy Lu Xian, dares to threaten me with my family, then I will make it difficult for him.
.
Ma Xiaoquan said seriously: "Brother Tianming, let me ask you first, who is the master of the patriarch of your family? He has a master, right?"
Yang Liang nodded: "Yes, I told Brother Ma about this as early as Jingzhou."
"Okay, then do you know that the master of your great clan leader is my best friend? You don't know this, right?"
"What, best friend? Brother Ma, you are so talented..." Yang Liang didn't finish his sentence before he suddenly reacted.
The purple-haired Brother Ma in front of him is called "Master Immortal", and it is said that this man is over a thousand years old.
Yang Liang was very curious and made up his mind to ask.
"Brother Ma, I would like to take the liberty of asking, how old are you this year?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Well, he should be 1047 years old."
"What? Yi047 years old?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Yes, why, brother Tianming doesn't believe it?"
Yang Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Where, Brother Ma can control the flames, which proves that Brother Ma is an extraordinary person. I, Yang Tianming, am really honored to be called brother to an expert who has lived for a thousand years, haha.
.....Since Brother Ma said that he is a close friend with the master who is the patriarch of my family, I have no reason not to believe him."
Under the moonlight, Ma Xiaoquan saw Yang Liang's sincere expression and couldn't help but murmur in his heart. However, Ma Xiaoquan would not believe Yang Liang just because of his words.
"Okay, don't say any more nice things. Brother Tianming, since you found out that the patriarch of your family has a relationship with Na Luxian, what do you want to do?"
Yang Liang thought for a moment and said, "I want to find Mr. Lu and ask him face to face."
"Well, that's very good, but do you know where Mr. Lu is now?"
Yang Liang shook his head: "There was news before I came here, but after arriving in Yecheng, there was no news. Alas!"
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe... we can look for Mr. Lu together..."
"Huh? What does Brother Ma want from Lu Xian?"
Ma Xiaoquan sneered and said: "It's very simple, because Lu Xian is also looking for the thing we are looking for together."
"What, Mr. Lu? He is also looking for..."
Yang Liang had just finished speaking when his heart suddenly tightened and he quickly shut up and looked at Ma Xiaoquan with interest.
Ma Xiaoquan knew that Yang Liang was testing him. If what he said later could not move Yang Liang, Yang Liang would not respond to him again.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Brother Tianming, although you and I are brothers, you also know that even if you find that thing, you probably won't be able to use it, let alone read it, right?"
Yang Liang did not deny this and nodded in agreement.
Ma Xiaoquan continued: "In that case, let me make an agreement with Brother Tianming."
Yang Liang still didn't answer, but when his eyes moved, Ma Xiaoquan knew there was something going on.
"We will find that thing together. After we find it, I will tell you the contents of that thing without reservation. Of course, if Brother Tianming is interested, you can make a record."
Ma Xiaoquan's words completely ignited the passion in Yang Liang's heart.
Yang Liang was a little moved. Indeed, as Ma Xiaoquan said, even if he went through all the troubles to find the thing, I'm afraid he still wouldn't be able to see it. Instead of doing this, it would be better to let the other party see and tell him. At worst, he would find a way to kill this guy. Once and for all.
"Haha..." Yang Liang laughed, but still didn't speak.
Ma Xiaoquan is not in a hurry. He doesn't insist on Yang Liang's answer now. After all, Yang Liang is not the top leader of his Yang family. If he throws out this agreement, Yang Liang will probably rush to report to the top leader of the family.
"Okay, let's go in and have two more drinks, so that Xiao Cao won't be anxious again."
Yang Liang nodded and followed Ma Xiaoquan into the banquet hall.
The banquet was still going on, and Ma Xiaoquan returned again, pushing the banquet to a new level. Cao Cao swayed, saying that he wanted to drink a few more cups of Dukang with Ma Xiaoquan, but it was difficult to refuse the hospitality, so Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to accept.
After drinking these few glasses of wine, Ma Xiaoquan immediately felt dizzy.
Yang Liang stepped forward, supported Ma Xiaoquan and said, "Brother Ma, have you drunk too much?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "It's okay, haha, brother Tianming, come and have a drink with me..."
Yang Liang hesitated for a moment and slowly raised the wine glass in his hand. Just as the two were about to clink glasses, Ma Xiaoquan became unsteady and spilled most of the wine in the glass.
"Oh, Brother Ma, you are being unkind. Come on, come on, I'll fill you up again, haha..."
Yang Liang said, picking up the wine bottle, and at this moment, an idea suddenly flashed in Yang Liang's mind, and then he secretly scratched a small bag in his sleeve pocket and got some with his fingernails. The white powder was quietly mixed into the wine bottle.
Ma Xiaoquan was very dizzy. Although he did not stutter when speaking, he did not see what Yang Liang did just now.
After serving Ma Xiaoquan a full glass of wine, Yang Liang drank the wine first without saying a word. Ma Xiaoquan could not refuse, so he had to drink the glass.
"How can one drink be enough? Come again and again, haha..." Seeing Ma Xiaoquan drink the glass of wine, Yang Liang was in a good mood and started to drink again.
The second cup...the third cup...
By the time he drank the fourth glass, Yang Liang had emptied the wine bottle.
"Huh? Brother Tianming, why don't you use the same hip flask with me?"
Yang Liang chuckled and said: "Brother Ma has a good capacity for drinking. You have finished the wine in the pot. How can I use it? Haha..."
Ma Xiaoquan didn't hear the second half of Yang Liang's words clearly, because at this moment, he was really drunk...
...
The next day, when Ma Xiaoquan woke up, he found that it was already noon.
"Lord Immortal..." Cao Cao smiled and personally handed Ma Xiaoquan a glass of warm water.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, took a few sips of the warm water and asked, "Xiao Cao, where are your water conservancy officials?"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "They have already gone to Huai River first, haha..."
"Well" Ma Xiaoquan stood up slowly and thought to himself: So, that guy Yang Liang has also left.
Cao Cao looked at Ma Xiaoquan deep in thought and asked, "Sir Shangxian, do you want to ask that friend of yours?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, and just as he was about to speak, an exclamation suddenly came from outside the room.
Cao Cao was a little annoyed and shouted: "What's all the fuss about?"
A message came from outside the door: "To inform you, Prime Minister, all the horses in the stable have died for some reason."
"What?" Cao Cao was surprised.
Ma Xiaoquan stretched, stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look together!"
Cao Cao nodded.
When the two came to the stable, what they saw was the swaying corpse of the horse.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward to examine the body of a dead horse, frowned and said, "It must have died of poisoning."
"Poisoned?" Cao Cao was confused, "Who is so bold as to poison my house? I don't think I want to live. Someone, come and check for me..."
Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Ma Xiaoquan stopped him and said, "Little Cao, please don't get excited. This may be a bit fishy. Well, what is that?"
Ma Xiaoquan saw a wine flask next to the manger and stepped forward to pick it up.
"Why is this wine bottle here?"
A pony boy knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowing his head, and while kowtowing, he said: "Sir, please forgive me... Prime Minister, please spare my life..."
Ma Xiaoquan and Cao Cao looked at each other, and Cao Cao said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
The young stable boy was trembling with fear, but he spoke smoothly.
It turned out that when the young stable boy got up in the morning to feed the horses, he saw that the fodder in the manger was a little dry, so he wanted to sprinkle some water on the fodder. However, he searched for a long time and couldn't find a suitable water container. He happened to pass by Ma Xiaoquan's house.
In the room, he found that the door was open, so he sneaked in secretly.
At that time, Ma Xiaoquan was sleeping soundly, but he was holding a wine pot in his hand. After thinking about it, the young horseman decided to take the wine pot away and use it as a vessel to hold water...
"So, you used this jug to fill the water?"
The pony made three more beeps: "Sir, please forgive me, Prime Minister, please forgive me, I really don't know what's going on, really..."
