Summary of the previous chapter: The shadow guards surrounded Ma Xiaoquan and Ma Zheng and his son, but they were seduced by Ma Xiaoquan with green spirit fire and burned half of them to death...
The waiter glanced at the farm man and said, "Your accent sounds like you're not from here, right?"
"Well, I escaped from Hanzhong when Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought, and my family was destroyed. Why don't I know how to do some farm work, so I came to Nanyang to make a living."
"Oh," the waiter hummed, "You don't know, right? That house is the famous Lu family mansion in Nanyang County... How do you think the people are?"
"Oh, then what are they doing with so many people?"
The waiter glared at the peasant man: "How do I know, but when I got up to pee last night, I heard the sound of killing. I guess something happened..."
"Oh, thank you, brother." The farmer man threw down the tea money, stood up, shouldered the farm tools, and turned away.
Turning into a private house, the farmer suddenly put down his farm tools and whispered into another room: "Dad, it seems that Mr. Lu's mansion is on guard."
"Hmm!" A man walked out from another room. He had short purple hair and a gray-white robe. He inadvertently revealed a hint of coercion in his movements.
"Hmph, I thought Ma Xiaoquan had such a thorough plan, but Lu Xian got there first. It seems that Lu Xian knows me very well." The man shook his head helplessly and waved his hand at the farmer, "That's right, the human skin mask is torn off."
Come down, thank you!"
"Yes." The peasant man reached out and groped his face a few times. Hearing a stinging sound, the layer of skin on his face was pulled off, revealing his original appearance.
Ma Zheng stepped forward and whispered: "Dad, what should we do now?"
"Well, with the ability of the shadow guards of the Lu family, I'm afraid we won't be able to go in again for a while. If we can't do it in the dark, we'll do it in the dark."
"Dark? Dad, what should I do? Just listen to you!"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "They are gathering now. Lu Xian, who is far away on the outskirts of Yecheng, will soon get the news that I am not in Yecheng. In the same way, Lu Xian will also launch an attack on my Ma family compound, but that's it.
.... Yecheng is Cao Cao's base camp. If Lu Xian takes action rashly, it will definitely arouse Cao Cao's suspicion... Zheng'er, you have to do something now..." Ma Xiaoquan said
Then, he called Ma Zheng to his side and gave a few instructions quietly.
After listening to this, Ma Zheng was a little surprised and said: "Dad, this...is this possible?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "There should be no problem. Just go back and inform your elder brother. I believe your elder brother is also fully prepared!"
"Dad, what about you? What should you do?"
"Me? Hum, I will continue to look for opportunities until I wipe out everyone in this Lu family mansion!"
Ma Zheng nodded, stood up and took out the human skin mask he had just torn off from his arms, and put it back on. In the blink of an eye, the originally handsome Ma Zheng once again turned into a simple peasant man.
"Dad, take care!" Ma Zheng bowed to Ma Xiaoquan, turned and left.
Looking at his son's disappearing back, Ma Xiaoquan took a long breath and said to himself: "All of this started with me, so I have to finish it alone. Zheng'er, dad asked you to leave.
It's also for your own good. After all, you are here and dad can't do it all. I hope you can understand dad..."
...
In the next few days, Ma Xiaoquan kept changing his identity. He was a farmer for a while, a businessman for a while, and even pretended to be a beggar. In order to look presentable, Ma Xiaoquan changed his short purple hair.
Shaved off.
Ma Xiaoquan had only one purpose. He wanted to carefully observe the external structure of the Lu family's mansion.
It is temporarily impossible to enter inside, but based on his memory from last time, Ma Xiaoquan roughly drew the internal orientation of the Lu family's mansion. At this moment, what he has to do is to figure out the external orientation of the Lu's mansion, so that once
Let's start to infiltrate, maybe there will be a breakthrough.
On the fifth day, Ma Xiaoquan finally found an opportunity.
At noon that day, the sun was shining brightly and the temperature was a bit hot. A shadow guard responsible for guarding the northwest corner of the Lu family mansion suddenly fainted.
Ma Xiaoquan happened to be not far from the northwest corner of the Lu family's mansion at this time, and he could see this scene clearly.
Ma Xiaoquan couldn't understand it. Logically speaking, the shadow guard trained by Lu Xian was a fierce man no matter what, but the guy who fainted just now looked like he had really fainted.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't know that since the quarrel between him and Ma Zheng a few days ago, everyone in the Lu family mansion was in panic. They were all closely guarded during the day, not to mention at night.
Someone once suggested temporarily abandoning the Lu Family Mansion, but because the leader of the Shadow Guards suddenly left and the group was leaderless, no one made the final decision on this suggestion. The direct result was that the Shadow Guards guarded the Lu Family Mansion in their own way.
As for the guy who fainted, it was because he hadn't slept for three days in a row.
If a person doesn't get a good rest one day, he may not necessarily feel sleepy the next day, but if he doesn't sleep for three days, let alone his spirit, even his body will involuntarily protest.
On the sixth day, another shadow guard fell.
The one who fell this time was the guard in the southeast corner.
Ma Xiaoquan was very happy, which meant that his opportunity had come. If he didn't grasp it, the opportunity would pass by in a flash.
That night, Ma Xiao, dressed entirely in black, slipped to the northwest corner of the Lu family's mansion.
There are no shadow guards guarding the northwest corner. The reason is simply because there are not enough manpower, and the existing shadow guards are all tired.
However... although there is no guard, it does not mean that it is absolutely safe. After all, there is a wall, and Ma Xiaoquan doesn't know if there is anyone behind the wall. If he rashly climbs over, the other party will have a plan behind the wall.
A trap, wouldn’t it be like a turtle in a urn?
After a pause, Ma Xiaoquan decided to test it first.
He took out a wooden stick that had been prepared for a long time from his arms, exhaled, and threw the wooden stick into the sky with all his strength.
"Whoosh..." The wooden stick did not reach the highest height it could reach, and was shot down by the sound of breaking through the air from all directions.
Immediately afterwards, several black figures flashed on the wall in the northwest corner.
Ma Xiaoquan was frightened. It was probably too late to run away at this time. He was so anxious that he held his breath and clung to the bottom of the side wall.
On the wall, several shadow guards looked around. After a while, someone asked: "Did you see anything just now?"
"No"
"Huh? Could it be that demon?"
"It's possible, but... have you seen him?"
"No!"
"Everyone, please be careful. The demon has the ability to control fire. If he is not allowed to suddenly release flames for us, we will be in trouble!"
"Okay, everyone, be careful!"
As soon as the shadow guards finished speaking, they scattered in all directions.
Under the side wall, Ma Xiaoquan breathed out softly. It seemed that these guys had been prepared for a long time. Fortunately, he tested it out first. Well, he still underestimated these shadow guards.
In fact, Ma Xiaoquan could just go in and kill him, but since he saw the guy named Lu Xiaowang that day, Ma Xiaoquan always felt that he looked very similar to a woman he knew. If this matter was unclear, Ma Xiaoquan would also be unwilling to do so.
Furthermore, Ma Xiaoquan has not yet figured out how many people Lu Xian has in his shadow guard. He needs some time, some time to figure out Lu Xian's family background.
"Forget it, let's go back first." After thinking about this, Ma Xiaoquan decided to go back temporarily and make plans later...
Another five days passed, and on this day, Ma Xiaoquan once again had an opportunity.
Lu Wang and Lu Xiaowang walked out of the Lu family mansion today for unknown reasons, and judging from the panic on their faces, they seemed to be going to do something.
Today, Ma Xiaoquan pretended to be a beggar. When he saw Lu Wang and Lu Xiaowang, Ma Xiaoquan hurriedly rushed forward and hugged Lu Xiaowang's legs: "Uncle, I haven't eaten for three days. You are so pitiful and pitiful. Why don't you give me a pity?"
Just two bucks..."
Lu Xiaowang glared at Ma Xiaoquan in disgust, took out a large coin from his arms, and threw it to Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan refused to give up, hugging Lu Xiaowang's leg tightly, and said: "Uncle, good things come in pairs, please give me more!"
Lu Xiaowang became angry and threw Ma Xiaoquan away, scolding: "Get out of here, don't be so shameless and pester me to ask someone to beat you to death again! Get out of here!"
Ma Xiaoquan hunched over and picked up the big coin, jokingly saying: "If you don't give it, I won't give it. Hey, this money is good, this money is good."
Lu Wang turned back and glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, frowned and said to Lu Xiaowang: "Xiao Wang, let's go quickly, we still have important things..."
"Brother, I know"
Watching Lu Wang and Lu Xiaowang leave, Ma Xiaoquan said with all his heart: These two people are really going to do something, but no, I have to find a way to follow them and take a look.
...
Ma Xiaoquan would not follow rashly. He knew very well the allusion of the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind it, and he did not want to be a mantis.
Watching the two brothers gradually go away, Ma Xiaoquan suppressed the curiosity in his heart and waited quietly for a while.
Sure enough, just when the two people were about to disappear from Ma Xiaoquan's sight, two men suddenly jumped out from the side road.
"Sure enough, someone is secretly protecting him." Ma Xiaoquan let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not in a hurry to follow him, otherwise he would definitely be discovered.
"Hmph, you and those two brothers, I will follow you..."
Lu Wang and Lu Xiaowang left in a hurry, but the other two left in no hurry at all. In any case, the calmness of the two gave Ma Xiaoquan time to change his clothes.
Flashing into a private house that had been prepared in advance, Ma Xiaoquan quickly took off his beggar's uniform, and then took out a set of luxurious clothes from the package that had been prepared in advance.
Ma Xiaoquan quickly put on his fancy clothes and put on a human skin mask of the young master, and then he walked out of the private house.
