Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan did not want to be led to their gathering point by the little shadow guard and be surrounded and killed. Therefore, Ma Xiaoquan tortured the little shadow guard severely, humiliating him, and then let him go.
.....
Since Ma Xiaoquan let the little shadow guard go, he hasn't been too far away from him.
Ma Xiaoquan really didn't want to get close to the gathering point of the shadow guards, but after thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan decided to take a risk. After all, there is a small shadow guard attracting the attention of other shadow guards, and presumably the other shadow guards will relax a little.
.
...
Ma Xiaoquan's judgment was correct. When he secretly followed the little shadow guard to the gathering point of the shadow guards, he did see the laxity of the guard. As the little shadow guard attracted his attention, Ma Xiaoquan easily sneaked in.
The camp where the Shadow Guards rested and was safely hidden.
If he wanted to investigate Lu Xian's den during the day, Ma Xiaoquan thought that the best way was to disguise himself and sneak into the shadow guard's queue, and then investigate.
It was now noon, and the shadow guards had just finished their meal. Since they had not yet received orders from their master, Lu Xian, the shadow guards temporarily stayed in their respective tents and were on standby. There was no one guarding outside the tents.
Ma Xiaoquan was secretly happy. It seems that these guys are very confident in their abilities. They don't even need a guard. Hum, that's just right. Master Ma, I can investigate easily.
Thinking back on it, Ma Xiaoquan was still cautious in his movements.
To be on the safe side, Ma Xiaoquan changed his weight. As a result, Ma Xiaoquan would no longer make any suspicious noises whether he was walking or crawling.
After carefully arriving at the corner tent, Ma Xiaoquan saw a small hole in the tent, so he cautiously stepped forward and looked through the hole.
There were four people nestled in the tent, two of them were carelessly wiping the swords on their hands, the third person was silently meditating, and the fourth person was lying on his back, sleeping soundly.
Ma Xiaoquan looked intently at the meditating man, and saw that the man's face was wrapped with a piece of cloth, covering his face, but his hands were very white, and it didn't look like he often wielded a knife.
Sword hand.
"Kuizi, did you hear clearly what the master said yesterday?"
The thoughtful shadow guard raised his head, glanced at the shadow guard who asked him, and shook his head.
"Then what the hell are you doing?"
The thoughtful shadow guard sneered and stopped talking.
"Fuck you." The shadow guard was about to stand up when another person beside him grabbed him and advised: "Okay, okay, we are all on our own. It's not like you don't know Kuizi's temper.
What's the point of being serious with him?"
"Humph, I just can't stand his unworthy behavior! Damn it!"
"Okay, okay, no more talking, let's go out for a walk first!"
The two of them spoke and kicked the sleeping guy.
The sleeping shadow guard was kicked awake and was not angry. He just smiled and glanced at the shadow guard named Kuizi again before walking out of the tent with the other two.
Ma Xiaoquan had been prepared for it. The moment the other three people went out, Ma Xiaoquan ducked and made a circle with the three people, narrowly avoiding the sight of the three people.
At this moment, there was only one person left in the tent, and Ma Xiaoquan hesitated.
Don't go in, it's daytime now, maybe all the shadow guards who will take a lunch break will come out later, then it will be troublesome; go in, I don't know what kind of guy the shadow guard in the tent is, if he screams
If you get up, you will still have the same trouble.
Just when Ma Xiaoquan was hesitant, a soft word suddenly came from the tent: "I know you are outside."
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, sighed heavily in his heart, and then ducked into the tent.
As soon as he stepped into the tent, Ma Xiaoquan saw the shadow guard with a cloth wrapped around his face.
"How do you know me?"
"Humph, it's simple, because of the guy you bullied before"
Ma Xiaoquan frowned: "You mean that little man?"
"Yes!"
"So...you know who I am?"
The shadow guard shook his head: "I don't know, but I can guess."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Ma Xiaoquan's eyes, and his energy slowly began to gather.
"You don't have to panic." Seeing Ma Xiaoquan's eyes change, the shadow guard quickly waved his hand and said softly, "I won't shout out."
Ma Xiaoquan would not relax just because of this person's words. In his impression, the shadow guards were all murderous guys. Reasoning with these guys was no different from playing the harp to a cow.
"Are you Ma Xiaoquan?"
Ma Xiaoquan said nothing, staring directly at the other party.
The shadow guard chuckled and took off the strips of cloth on his face one by one.
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan was a little surprised when he saw the shadow guard's appearance, "How did you get the scar on your face?"
The shadow guard did not answer Ma Xiaoquan's words, but thought for a moment and said something else: "I am Young Master Yuan Fang's personal subordinate..."
"Yuan Fang?"
"Yes, if you were Ma Xiaoquan, I would tell you everything."
"What if I'm not?"
The shadow guard chuckled: "Anyone who can sneak into this tent silently in broad daylight will be dead unless he is absolutely sure of escaping. Lord Immortal, am I right?
"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded approvingly and acquiesced.
"Since you are Ma Xiaoquan, can I ask you to help me rescue Mr. Yuan?"
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment and said, "You said Yuan Fang is in Lu Xian's hands?"
"Yes, I am the last person under Mr. Yuan. I am weak and unable to rescue Mr. Yuan. I still hope you can help me, even if you want me to die."
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "If I let you die now, would you be willing?"
"Yes, as long as I can rescue Mr. Yuan, I will do anything."
"Okay, I promise you that I will definitely help you rescue Yuan Fang, but... you have to promise me, you have to tell me the characteristics of the shadow guards, and the names of the three shadow guards who live with you.
temperament."
"No problem. Let's keep the story short. The three of them will be back soon after they go out."
Although this guy named Kuizi said this, Ma Xiaoquan still did not let down his guard: "Okay, then just say it quickly."
Kuizi nodded and told Ma Xiaoquan some of the characteristics of the Shadow Guards and their murderous methods. After giving a general introduction to the Shadow Guards, Kuizi gave Ma Xiaoquan a brief description of the temperaments of the three people who lived with him.
After a while, Kuizi finally described his temper to Ma Xiaoquan.
"I see that your body shape and voice are similar to mine. If you pretend to be me, no one will notice you... It's just that the strip of cloth on your head..."
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment, nodded and said: "We have the same idea, but if I pretend to be you, you must die!"
Kuizi nodded: "That's no problem. As long as you can rescue Mr. Yuan, I can do anything you want!"
"Okay, then I need your clothes, pants and shoes now!"
Kuizi hummed, and without saying a word, he took off all his clothes, pants and shoes and threw them to Ma Xiaoquan.
Immediately afterwards, Kui Zi pulled off his bun and spread his hair. Then, Kui Zi took out a dagger and cut off his hair.
"I'll give this to you too. If you want to pretend to be me, you have to keep the color of your hair the same as mine! I know you have purple hair."
Ma Xiaoquan took Kui Zi's hair and nodded gently.
"Okay, I will leave it to you to fulfill my wish. You can take action now. I hope you will give me a clear answer. Don't worry, I won't shout out."
Facing Kuizi's determination, Ma Xiaoquan raised his right hand without hesitation and threw out the Lanming Holy Fire that had been brewing for a long time.
The light blue flames stuck to Kuizi's body and immediately spread out.
Kuizi gritted his teeth, and it was true as he said. He didn't say a word until the moment he died.
"Huh!" Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward lightly, looked down at the ashes on the ground, "Kuizi... is a man."
After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan removed the cloth strip wrapped around his head, and then used a dagger to shave off his short purple hair.
After putting on the clothes and trousers Kuizi left for him, putting them on Kuizi's hair, and wrapping the strip of cloth that Kuizi had wrapped around his face, Ma Xiaoquan spun around twice.
Just then, three playful voices came from outside the tent.
Ma Xiaoquan was startled, stepped forward and dispersed the ashes on the ground, and then sat back down on his "own bed" at lightning speed.
At this moment, the tent curtain was opened, and three people came in.
Ma Xiaoquan pretended to be deep in thought, but the corner of his eye did not leave the movements of the three people at all.
"Huh? What is this underground?"
Ma Xiaoquan felt bad. It was too urgent just now and the ashes were not cleaned up. If these three people were to check it out, they would definitely be able to see the clues.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan took out the huozhezi and blew the huozhezi with a breath.
Huo Zhezi flashed and immediately attracted the attention of the three people, who turned their attention to Ma Xiaoquan.
"Quizi. What are you doing?"
Ma Xiaoquan hummed coldly, took out his dagger, scraped off the "black hair" on his head, took it to the fire folder, and lit it.
"Trick" hair is extremely flammable. When exposed to fire, it burned very fiercely. Within two breaths, the hair on Ma Xiaoquan's hands was completely burned.
"Bah, bah, you smell so bad, Kuizi, what the hell is wrong with you? I'll fuck you."
