[045] A new journey (the last chapter of this volume)
The little girls were getting excited after hearing this. The critical moment was about to come. Brother Shangxian suddenly stopped and looked at Ma Xiaoquan in confusion.
Hua Lin asked: "Brother, brother, why did you stop suddenly?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and lightly nodded Hua Lin's forehead: "It's nothing. You guys, hurry up and clean up. Lord Situ will be back in a while. He may want to announce the good news. Let's go back to the house and dress up nicely."
."
Several little girls refused to give up until Ma Xiaoquan finished telling the ghost story. In desperation, Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to tie the knot hastily before coaxing the little girls back to their respective houses.
After the little girls went down, Ma Xiaoquan ordered the housekeeper of the Situ Mansion to prepare wine and food.
The housekeeper didn't understand what Ma Xiaoquan wanted to do, but his master Wang Situ said that Lord Shangxian's status in the Situ Mansion was the same as his own, so the housekeeper didn't dare to neglect and retreated to prepare the food and drinks.
After a few little girls got dressed up, they gathered in the lobby and chatted non-stop.
Ma Xiaoquan looked at the little girls in front of him:
Xiuer is well-behaved, Miaoyu is lovely, Hualin is pretty, and Diaochan is beautiful. Each has its own characteristics and charm. Ma Xiaoquan was filled with joy when he saw them.
Hua Lin shook her little head and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Brother, why are there firecrackers outside? What day is it today?"
Xiu'er interrupted: "Yes, brother Shangxian, what day is it today?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said, "You will know as soon as you follow me out!"
At this time, the butler had already prepared the food and wine, and was just waiting for Ma Xiaoquan's instructions for the food and wine to be served.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said to the old steward: "Steward Liang, you should put aside what you are doing first and go out with me to take a look!"
The old housekeeper looked at Ma Xiaoquan in surprise, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, but in view of Ma Xiaoquan's identity, the old housekeeper had no choice but to agree.
"You servants, go out with me and have a look!"
Master Shangxian had spoken, and no one in the Situ Mansion refused to obey. The maids and maids all followed Ma Xiaoquan's instructions and went back to their rooms to dress up. The boys followed Ma Xiaoquan's instructions and put on their clothes.
New clothes only worn during the Chinese New Year.
After everyone was ready, Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Let's go, open the door!"
With a "creak" sound, the door of Situ Mansion opened.
After the door opened, the housekeeper and servants of Situ Mansion were all shocked.
I saw that the street in front of the mansion was crowded with people. All the people were wearing new clothes only worn during the New Year. Children were holding colored paper in their hands and walking through the crowd. People nearby could see
Lanterns were hung in front of the houses of the people who got it, and some even had couplets posted on their doors.
The housekeeper opened his mouth, wondering why these people were so happy.
Ma Xiaoquan explained to the old housekeeper: "If I am not mistaken, then Dong Zhuo is already dead!"
"Ah!" When the servants of Situ Mansion heard that Dong Zhuo was dead, they all felt incredible.
Miaoyu asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Brother Shangxian, is what you said true?"
Ma Xiaoquan patted his chest and promised, "You can stop anyone and ask."
Miaoyu didn't believe it, so she pulled Xiu'er and actually grabbed someone and asked.
This man originally had an impatient look on his face, but seeing Xiu'er and Miaoyu's beauty, he flattered her and said: "You two girls don't know something. That Dong Zhuo has been killed by Dutinghou, General Lu Bulu, and the emperor has already posted
After publishing the imperial list, let the world know..."
When the two little girls heard this, they looked at each other.
This man felt that he had made a great contribution, so he took the opportunity to get close to the two little girls and said, "If you two girls don't mind, can you come to the restaurant to sit down? My family happens to own a restaurant..."
The two little girls ignored the man and turned to look at Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded.
Miaoyu Ghost Spirit immediately understood what Ma Xiaoquan meant and said coquettishly: "But there are many, many of us!"
Bao Dalan said: "My restaurant is big, don't worry, even if you come with a hundred or so people, it won't be a problem..."
Miaoyu pretended to hold the man's arm, and her arrogant little breasts rubbed against the man's arm intentionally or unintentionally: "Master, do you want money?"
Miaoyu said this very shyly, sounding like a young daughter-in-law who had just passed away. The man became more energetic when he heard this: "There is nothing about money. My family is a well-known and wealthy family in Chang'an.
I have several semi-colons in restaurants alone..."
Ma Xiaoquan heard what this man said, and Ma Xiaoquan said in his heart: Oh, your mother runs a hotel chain? Okay, I didn't want to kill you, but I have no choice but you agreed, so I won't be polite.
"Ahem!" Ma Xiaoquan coughed twice. Miaoyu nodded slightly and said to this person: "My lord, are you sure you want to invite us to go together?"
The man nodded, with a sinister look on his face.
Miaoyu winked at Xiu'er, and they both let go of their hands, then jumped to Ma Xiaoquan's side, holding Ma Xiaoquan's arms from left to right: "Brother, this person agreed!"
Ma Xiaoquan was actually quite embarrassed. After all, this was the first time he had eaten the Overlord Meal. Although it had not yet become a reality, Ma Xiaoquan was still a little bit intolerant of the Overlord Meal with obvious results.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward, patted the man on the shoulder and said: "Well...ah...the people who were talking to you just now are my two sisters. Brother, since you are so generous, I will also
I can’t help but buy your face, right? Look, there aren’t many of us here. Counting all the people in the house, that’s number 79. It’s up to you to figure it out.”
This man was startled when he heard about the person No. 79. Just when he was about to regret it and leave, Butler Liang of the Situ Mansion grabbed him and said, "How dare you joke with the people in Mr. Situ's Mansion? I think you are full!"
"
When the man heard this, he was startled, but he still said shamelessly: "Today is the day when Thief Dong dies. You can't bully me. Besides, can you prove that you are from Situ's house just by talking about it?"
"
Butler Liang of the Situ Mansion laughed and took off a sign from his waist, with the word "Situ" written on it.
In the late Han Dynasty, all retainers of high officials would usually wear a waist badge around their waists. Firstly, it was a clear indication of ownership, and secondly, it was also a symbol of status.
The bigger the official, the more beautiful the waist badges are. As Wang Yun is ranked among the three nobles, the waist badges of the retainers in the palace are naturally good-looking and easy to identify.
When the man saw the waist card in Butler Liang's hand, he was suddenly discouraged. He looked at Xiu'er and Miaoyu beside Ma Xiaoquan with a little reluctance, and said helplessly: "Hey, if I had known earlier, I shouldn't have gone out today.
, well, since I have bumped into you, there is nothing more to say, just follow me!"
A group of people followed this person to a restaurant. The restaurant was not big, but it was really not a problem to entertain more than a hundred people. No. 79 people from Situ's house happily entered the restaurant and did not have time to burn incense.
, a variety of exquisite dishes were served in front of everyone.
On the way here, Ma Xiaoquan chatted with this man for a while and found out that his name was Zhang Qiang. Since there were three brothers in his family, he was the youngest, so he was nicknamed Zhang San. Ma Xiaoquan saw that he was very heroic, so he called him the third boss.
.
Ma Xiaoquan did not tell Zhang San his identity, he just made up a lie and fooled Zhang San.
Although Zhang San seems not to be doing his job properly, in fact, the restaurant that Ma Xiaoquan and the others are visiting now is run by Zhang San.
"Sir, Mr. Zhang gives you a toast!"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, shook his head and said: "Third Boss, you are too polite. I am just a guest at Situ's house. How can I bother Third Boss to toast in person?"
Zhang San said disapprovingly: "Huh? Sir, you are being too modest. I, Mr. Zhang, just love to make friends with heroes all over the world. Seeing that Mr. Zhang is so arrogant, especially with this purple hair, Mr. Zhang knows that Mr. Yi must be no ordinary person."
Xiu'er interrupted: "Third boss, you are right, our brother is an immortal!"
Ma Xiaoquan coughed twice and signaled Xiu'er not to talk too much.
Zhang San is a restaurant owner and has met all kinds of people. Although Xiu'er's words may sound careless, he doesn't think so. Because a few days ago, Zhang San got acquainted with a young man named Lu.
, Zhang San admires Mr. Lu from the bottom of his heart no matter his words or behavior, especially the thing that Mr. Lu asked him to find...
"Third boss?"
Zhang San shook his head, came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I suddenly thought of an old friend, haha."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said, "Since the third boss owns a restaurant, he must have seen a lot of people and things, right?"
Zhang San nodded.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "I want to ask the third boss to help me find something!"
"Oh?" Zhang San raised his eyebrows, "Sir, it doesn't matter. As long as my third boss can do it, just ask."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded appreciatively.
Zhang San seems to be a very upright person.
Ma Xiaoquan took out a white scroll from his arms and handed it to Zhang Sand: "This picture is what I'm looking for!"
Zhang San took the white scroll, opened it and looked at it, feeling shocked.
Zhang San asked: "May I ask, sir, what is this thing?"
Ma Xiaoquan was not able to answer, so he could only say: "This thing does not belong to this era. Why, have you seen it before?"
Zhang San hurriedly laughed and said: "No, no, haha, sir, Mr. Zhang will do his best as long as he can do it..."
...
After sending Ma Xiaoquan and his party away, Zhang San hurriedly returned to the bedroom and pulled out a white scroll from a drawer.
Zhang San unfolded the white scroll and the white scroll Ma Xiaoquan gave him, and compared the two sheets carefully.
"It's strange. Although these two pictures look the same, they are still slightly different. The one Mr. Lu gave me is more detailed."
Zhang Sanjuan, a white scroll, shook his head and said: "It's just that the gentleman said that the things on this picture do not belong to this era... Mr. Lu also said this, could it be that the things on this picture
, is there really any secret?”
...
When Ma Xiaoquan and his party returned to Situ Mansion, Wang Yun had already returned.
When Wang Yun came back, he saw no one at home and was not angry. Because of Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun was in a really good mood.
"Lord Situ!"
Wang Yun stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Ma Xiaoquan: "Thank you so much, Lord Shangxian, thank you so much!"
Ma Xiaoquan lied and said, "Thank you. I didn't do anything. I just followed the secret of heaven."
Wang Yundao: "Master Shangxian, Dong Zhuo is dead now, and the emperor is still young. In the middle of the court..."
Ma Xiaoquan interrupted Wang Yun and said: "Master Situ can handle all this by himself. By the way, I may be leaving in the next few days!"
"Ah?" Wang Yun said in surprise, "Master Immortal, don't I, the Immortal Master, live in Situ Mansion uncomfortable?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "No, no, I have other things to do. Of course, I still remember to prepare the elixir for you..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yunyi knew that he really couldn't keep Ma Xiaoquan, so he had to say goodbye to Ma Xiaoquan with tears in his eyes.
Three days later, at the door of Situ's Mansion.
"Okay, Master Situ, don't send me away! We don't know where we are going on this journey, but don't worry, with me here, nothing will be a problem."
Wang Yunlao burst into tears and choked with sobs: "Master Immortal, I have specially prepared some money and gifts. I hope Master Immortal will accept it!"
Ma Xiaoquan did not refuse. After all, whether it is in troubled times or peaceful times, having money can never go wrong.
"Then I would like to thank Master Situ!"
...
After saying goodbye to everyone in the Situ Mansion, Ma Xiaoquan got on his horse.
"Zhao Er! Do you have any regrets about following me?"
In front of a carriage not far in front of Ma Xiaoquan, a man stood respectfully. This man was Zhao Er, a servant who Ma Xiaoquan met at Dong Zhuo's place.
Zhao Er said respectfully: "I was just a peddler originally, but Thief Dong took away my family property and forced me to be his servant. Now that Thief Dong is dead, I have nothing to worry about. I just want to follow him."
Lord Immortal, serve Lord Immortal!"
Ma Xiaoquan hummed: "Then you can follow me from now on! By the way, where are you from?"
Zhao Er said respectfully: "Young man from Changshan!"
Ma Xiaoquan was shocked and happy: "Changshan people, um, good, interesting! Let's go!"
After Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, he gently pinched the horse's belly, and the horse galloped away.
Zhao Er got on the carriage, raised his riding whip, whipped it lightly, and the carriage flew away in the direction of Ma Xiaoquan.
In the carriage, four beautiful women were sitting: Xiuer, Miaoyu, Hualin, and Diaochan.
Diao Chan asked: "Where will Brother Shangxian take us?"
Hua Lin shook her little head: "Brother said he would take us to Cao Cao's place!"
Xiu'er blinked her big watery eyes: "Why Cao Cao?"
Hua Lin pouted her lips: "I don't know, sister Miaoyu, you delivered food to my brother yesterday, what did he say?"
Miaoyu said, "I don't know either. I just heard what Brother Shangxian said when I was delivering food to him..."
"oh"
Outside the carriage, Ma Xiaoquan reined in his horse, and Zhao Er followed him in the carriage.
"Lord Immortal, where are we going with our trip?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Go to Yanzhou!"
Zhao Er was shocked: "Master Shangxian, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army are rampant in Yanzhou right now, are you sure you want to go?"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed loudly and said: "I'm going to Yanzhou, because there is an old friend of mine there! Hahaha..."
End of this volume ps: The first volume of the crusade against Dong Zhuo has ended here. In fact, Xiao Jue has conceived a lot of content, but because he has to follow history and the times, he also has to write about Ma Xiaoquan, so there are many side stories.
For the small plot, Xiaojue has made it abbreviated. In the next volume, Xiaojue will name it Separation of Heroes, so stay tuned!
