Summary of the previous chapter: The little man who Ma Xiaoquan saw through turned out to be Lu Xian's most proud shadow guard...
Cao's soldiers were horrified. In their eyes, Ma Xiaoquan was no longer just the Immortal Marquis.
"God," someone said, and then someone took the lead and knelt down.
Ma Xiaoquan did not stop him and allowed these Cao soldiers to worship him.
All the Cao soldiers were unmoved when they saw Ma Xiaoquan. No one dared to get up, so they just knelt on the ground and waited quietly.
"Shadow Guard..." Ma Xiaoquan kept muttering these two words in his mouth.
Yuan Fang once talked with Ma Xiaoquan and told Ma Xiaoquan some things about the Shadow Guards, but... Yuan Fang didn't know much about the Shadow Guards, but Yuan Fang once said that if the Shadow Guards were pulled
If compared, it is definitely not inferior to the personal guards of any separatist warlord, or even worse.
Ma Xiaoquan walked to the puddle of black ashes, squatted down, stretched out his hand and searched a few times in the black ashes.
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows and picked out a burnt metal block from the black ashes.
"Ring?" Holding such a tiny piece of metal, Ma Xiaoquan's first thought was that he had seen those exclusive rings for Shadow Guards before.
But... what surprised Ma Xiaoquan was that the red lotus fire didn't melt the ring and disappear, but only melted it into shape.
"Yuan...have you seen it? What kind of metal is this ring made of? Can it withstand the red lotus fire?"
In his left eye, Yuan nodded and said via voice: "I see, Ma Xiaoquan, although Red Lotus Bahuo is extremely domineering, he also has blind spots."
"Blind spot? How to explain?"
Yuandao: "The so-called blind spot can be explained as the burning blind spot of the Red Lotus Bahuo. Well... assuming that the burning temperature of the Red Lotus Bahuo is 10,000 degrees, then the burning blind spot of the Red Lotus Bahuo should be lower.
many......"
Ma Xiaoquan interrupted: "What is the highest temperature that the Red Lotus Bahuo can reach?"
Yuan thought for a moment and responded: "It does not exceed the burning point of the air on this planet."
"Oh" Ma Xiaoquan said in his heart.
Yuan continued to transmit: "The blind spot of the Red Lotus Fire can be explained as an area less than 2000 degrees... Therefore, it is possible that this ring is just in the blind spot of the Red Lotus Fire, so it has not been vaporized.
."
"2000 degrees..." Ma Xiaoquan secretly wiped his sweat in his heart. Isn't this called high temperature? Damn it, boiling water at 100 degrees can burn people's skin and flesh, and 2000 degrees can completely burn people into charcoal.
.
"Hey, Ma Xiaoquan, there seems to be something wrong with this ring..."
Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows: "What's the problem?"
"I can't tell, the ring has been destroyed. You can find a way to get another one."
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes: "Damn, you think you can get this ring if you say you can get it."
"I don't care, your best choice now is to capture another Shadow Guard and snatch his ring."
"Fuck!" When Yuan's message reached this point, Ma Xiaoquan finally couldn't help but curse.
All the Cao soldiers were startled. Just now, the Marquis had been stunned and motionless, seeming to be thinking about something. However, looking at the Marquis's expression, he was impatient, raised his eyebrows, and finally rolled his eyes.
.....
"Hou... Lord Hou..." A Cao soldier boldly called out.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and said, "Why are you all kneeling? Get up."
All the Cao soldiers stood up one after another and stood in a line respectfully, looking a little frightened.
"Master Hou, do we still want to do this?"
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "The plan has changed, we have to leave Lantian, hey."
In fact, Ma Xiaoquan wanted to bully Ma Chao, but due to the sudden intervention of Lu Xian's men, he had to change his plan temporarily.
"Master Hou, where are we going?"
Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and looked at the Cao soldiers in front of him, and thought to himself: Lu Xian's shadow guards are all very good. Letting these people follow me will probably be a disaster. Well, well, let's find an excuse to let them go back.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan said: "I have assigned you a mission. You have to..."
Before he finished speaking, a deep male voice suddenly came from not far away: "Who are you?"
As the male voice fell, many spears and spears suddenly appeared in front of Ma Xiaoquan, surrounding them all.
"Damn it!" Ma Xiaoquan cursed secretly in his heart and said with a smile: "It turns out that I have been discovered a long time ago, haha."
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, another deep male voice said: "Master Shangxian, you are fine, haha..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly: "Meng Qi, I'm afraid you have guessed what I am doing here. Why don't you dare to come out to see me?"
"Why don't you dare?"
With that said, a man wearing a Yin Hong cloak and a horned helmet walked out from among the spears.
The man's face has sharp edges and corners, and there is a shallow scar on his face. Needless to say, at first glance, he looks like Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi.
"Huh?" Seeing the scar on Ma Chao's face, Ma Xiaoquan was a little curious and asked, "Meng Qi, who did it on your face?"
Ma Chao said: "Master Shangxian, are you still asking me? Didn't you send someone to kill me?"
"Me?" Ma Xiaoquan felt a little unjust, "Why should I kill you?"
"It's really not you?" Ma Chao looked at Ma Xiaoquan suspiciously.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head.
Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips, took out a ring from his arms, and said, "Master Shangxian, isn't this ring yours?"
Ma Xiaoquan looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "When did you see what kind of ring I was wearing? Meng Qi, please bring the ring and let me have a look."
Ma Chao winked to the left and right, and the spearmen took a few steps forward, and then he threw the ring to Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan took the ring, nodded and called out to Yuan in his heart: "It doesn't take much effort to find it after breaking through the iron shoes. Yuan, this is the Shadow Guard ring you want to see."
In his left eye, Yuan also saw the ring: "Well, stay here, I will study it carefully when I have time."
"What now?"
"Now? Who cares about you? You can handle it yourself!"
"Depend on"
...
When Ma Chao saw that Ma Xiaoquan was looking at the ring without saying anything, he sneered, "Why, let me get it right. Master Shangxian, you really want to kill me! Someone, give me..."
"Wait!" Ma Xiaoquan suddenly stopped him, "Meng Qi, let me ask you first, have you ever written a letter to Xia Houyuan?"
Ma Chao was stunned for a moment and then replied: "I wrote it, what's the matter?"
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Are there any extreme words in your heart?"
Ma Chao shook his head: "No, I wrote to Xia Houyuan just to trick him into negotiating peace and delay time."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and interrupted: "But the content of the letter I saw is not these."
"Huh?" Ma Chao thought for a moment and asked, "Master Shangxian, what did you find?"
Ma Xiaoquan was a little surprised. Although Ma Chao said that he would send a killer to kill him, his actions did not seem to be the case. It seemed that Ma Chao was also suspecting something.
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Meng Qi, has the envoy you sent returned?"
Ma Chao shook his head: "Come back? How could you come back? Wasn't he killed by Xia Houyuan?"
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan said in surprise, "Impossible. I watched the envoy you sent leave Chang'an with my own eyes."
"What?" Ma Chao was a little excited, "Master Shangxian, do you really mean what you said?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and first described to Ma Chao the appearance of the envoy sent by Ma Chao.
After confirming that he was his envoy, Ma Chao's eyebrows twisted into the Chinese character Sichuan.
Later, Ma Xiaoquan recited the conversation between Xia Houyuan and the envoy to Ma Chao. Of course, during the retelling process, Ma Xiaoquan also added some spice to make Ma Chao sound reasonable.
Finally, Ma Xiaoquan described to Ma Chao the scene when Ma Chao's envoy left. This time, Ma Chao was a little dumbfounded.
"Meng Qi? Meng Qi?" Looking at Ma Chao who was stunned, Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand in front of him and said, "Meng Qi, I have said so much, you understand, your envoy should have been killed on the road.
Yes. But how did you know about the news of being killed?"
Ma Chao came back to his senses, frowned and said: "Yesterday, a little man came to my place and told me that Xia Houyuan killed a person..."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "It would take several days to go from Chang'an to Lantian without stopping day and night. Since that little man told you that Xia Houyuan killed people, has he ever seen him? What did he say?"
Ma Chao repeated to Ma Xiaoquan what the little man told him.
After listening, Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin with one hand and said, "Well, does that little man look like this..." As he said this, Ma Xiaoquan made gestures with his other hand.
"This... Master Shangxian, how do you know?" Looking at Ma Xiaoquan's description of the gestures, Ma Chao's eyes widened in surprise.
Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly, waved his hands and said: "There is no need to explain anything, Meng Qi, you have fallen into a trap!"
