Summary of the previous chapter: Hua Yuexin and others saw through the identity of the two girls and persuaded them to live in Yecheng. At the same time, Ma Xiaoquan from Nanyang County and Lu Xian from the suburbs of Yecheng began their final preparations.
.....
Lu Xian rubbed Magnum on his face lovingly and said to himself, "Tonight, I will use this thing to kill every important person in the Ma family...
Ma Xiao... Hua Yuexin... everyone in the Ma family, I will not let go..."
Lu Xian said, aiming his gun at a tree not far across the way, and fired a shot with a bang.
The sound of gunshots frightened several wild birds and also frightened several nearby shadow guards.
Lu Xian shook his head and signaled that everyone should not panic.
A shadow guard stepped forward and said respectfully: "Master, your weapon is really powerful..."
Lu Xian laughed: "Of course, apart from me, only Ma Xiaoquan knows this weapon best, hum." Lu Xian said, then reached into his arms and took out a few things that looked like copper nails.
"Master, this is..."
Lu Xiandao: "This thing is called a bullet... Well, the name comes from Ma Xiaoquan's sketch. Ma Xiaoquan, you didn't expect it, right? I can make bullets, haha..."
The sky gradually darkened, and after an hour, it was completely dark.
Lu Xian whistled, and the shadow guards who were ready to go immediately gathered in front of Lu Xian.
Lu Xian was not short at all, but he still found a place that was slightly higher and stood on it.
"You... are my confidants... you... are good brothers who have followed me, Mr. Lu, for a long time... today... you will
Follow me and destroy the Ma Family Courtyard...Kill everyone in the Ma Family Courtyard, old, young, women and children...The Crown Prince of Wei has already taken care of things for us in Yecheng.
After all, you won’t see any strangers around the Ma Family Courtyard... In other words... you can go all out and do whatever you want...
Of course...those who can use concealed weapons and daggers should try to use them, do you understand?"
"Understood!" everyone responded.
Lu Xian hummed, took out the Magnum with high spirits, pointed the gun at Yecheng: "Let's go!"
...
Yecheng, Ma Family Courtyard.
Ma Xiao stood on the highest attic of the Ma family compound, overlooking the surroundings of the compound.
Next to Ma Xiao stood Ma Zheng.
"Brother...I think something is wrong tonight?"
Ma Xiao nodded: "Well, have you noticed it too? Someone came to report just now, saying that there was no one in the private houses around my Ma family compound."
"Brother...will something happen tonight?"
Ma Xiao pondered for a moment: "There is a high possibility that Lu Xian has not shown up since he was ambushed by me, and Cao Pi took away all the guards in my Ma family compound after that incident. Now my Ma family
There was no one around the compound, and Cao Pi happened to be hunting outside... This is definitely not a coincidence."
Ma Zheng was shocked and said: "Brother, could it be that Cao Pi and Lu Xian..."
Ma Xiao stretched out his hand to stop him: "The matter has not reached the final stage, so don't make any comments. Third brother, my eldest brother will ask you again. If your eldest brother no longer wants to be the head of the Ma family, will you be willing to be the head of the family?"
Ma Zheng shook his head: "If you don't want to, brother, you won't not do it. I believe you."
Ma Xiao sighed and smiled bitterly: "Some things are beyond my control... Third brother, whether you like it or not, you have to be the next head of the Ma family."
Ma Zheng exhaled: "Let me think about this..."
Ma Xiao nodded and ordered: "Go and get ready. It's too quiet tonight. I'm afraid something will happen. As men of the Ma family, we should protect our family and clan."
"yes"
Ma Zheng came down from the attic, and Ma Xiao sighed again.
"I hope... nothing will happen tonight..."
...
Nanyang County.
Ma Xiaoquan stuffed the tools he had made during the day into a pocket and slowly took off the human skin mask on his face.
"Huh" Ma Xiaoquan breathed out and rubbed his face.
"It's time to go...the Lu family mansion...tonight...I will solve everything..."
Nanyang County was exceptionally quiet tonight. Ma Xiaoquan walked on the street and didn't see anyone.
When passing by the kiln house, Ma Xiaoquan subconsciously stopped and glanced at a window on the attic of the kiln house.
"Haha..." Ma Xiaoquan shook his head. At this time, Ma Xiaoquan actually thought of the girl from yesterday.
Ma Xiaoquan patted his face gently and continued to move towards the Lu family mansion.
Not long after Ma Xiaoquan walked away, a petite woman followed quietly...
In the Lu family's mansion, Long Er and the shadow guards gathered together, discussing the garrison plan for the last night.
At this moment, every shadow guard is happy in their hearts, but at the same time, they are also nervous.
The happy one is that the master will massacre the Ma family compound in Yecheng tonight, but the nervous one is... Ma Xiaoquan.
Long Er clapped his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet. Everyone was quiet instantly. Long Er nodded and said: "I think everyone understands the importance of tonight. Tonight, I, Long Er, have no other requests. You just want to lose me."
I have to save my own life, but I must also save the lives of my companions... Of course, I hope you all will survive for me, even if one of us, Long Eryi, dies, you will all survive!"
One of his subordinates said: "Boss, don't say such depressing words, none of us will die!"
"Yes, none of us will die, don't worry, boss!"
...
Long Er nodded, his eyes a little moist: "Brothers, I have no regrets about these words. Okay, let's all go to our places. After tonight, the dawn will come."
After the order was given, the shadow guards immediately went to their respective positions.
Lu Wang and Lu Xiaowang walked up to Long Er and asked, "What should we do?"
Long Er thought for a moment and said, "You two should stay with me. I just need to set up some traps to prevent Ma Xiaoquan from making a sneak attack!"
"Um"
...
The three of them had just walked a few steps when a deep male voice suddenly came from the courtyard wall of the Lu family's mansion: "Don't worry, Long Er, I'm here."
Long Er was shocked and quickly protected Lu Wang and Lu Xiaowang behind him and looked up.
Under the illumination of the torch, Long Er saw the man on the courtyard wall.
"Ma Xiaoquan," Long Er shouted, "I didn't expect you would choose to come to my Lu family mansion tonight."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and smiled: "Stop talking nonsense and take the move..." After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan concentrated quickly, and two crimson flame bands suddenly appeared on his hand.
After closing his eyes and opening them, Ma Xiaoquan "kneaded" the two flames into a crimson ball of flame in his palm. As the ball of flame took shape, Ma Xiaoquan smashed it towards Long Er with a "drink".
Ma Xiaoquan's move came very suddenly, and he was about to get in front of Long Er.
Long Er gritted his teeth, roared, kicked Lu Wang to the ground, and then pulled Lu Xiaowang back quickly.
The flame ball passed over Lu Wang's head, and its scorching heat burned Lu Wang's bun instantly.
Lu Wang trembled in shock. If it hadn't been for Long Er's kick just now, he might have been hit by the crimson flame ball.
With a "boom" sound, the flame ball exploded behind Lu Wang.
"Lu Wang, jump forward, quickly"
Lu Wang let out a sound and hurriedly rushed forward.
As soon as he left the spot, the bursting crimson flames spattered over him.
Long Er pulled Lu Xiaowang and retreated in time, and narrowly avoided Ma Xiaoquan's sudden attack.
"Fire the arrow," Long Er ordered.
Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "Long Er, have you forgotten that those arrows of yours are of no use to me?"
Long Er curled his lips: "That's not certain!"
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan looked at Long Er's expression and felt something bad in his heart. At this moment, the first round of volleys fired at Ma Xiaoquan by the shadow guards had arrived.
Ma Xiaoquan roared angrily, and the green spirit fire erupted immediately. The arrow was already burned and vaporized by the green spirit fire before it even got close to him.
But... as the arrows vaporized, Ma Xiaoquan smelled several strange smells.
These smells are very strange, not unpleasant, but definitely not pleasant.
"Oops!" Ma Xiaoquan covered his nose, held his breath urgently, and jumped off the courtyard wall.
"Fire arrows!" Long Er seemed to have expected it. As soon as Ma Xiaoquan jumped off the courtyard wall, the second round of volleys from the shadow guards came again.
Ma Xiaoquan frowned. This time, he did not use the green spirit fire to vaporize the arrows, but chose the most primitive, but also the most effective way to avoid and block the arrows.
Of course, facing the volley of dozens of arrows, Ma Xiaoquan asked himself that he did not have such advanced skills, so... Ma Xiaoquan used tools.
Among the tools made during the day, there are two pictures of Ma Xiaoquan engraved on spider silk. When the spider silk is pulled, the carvings open.
"Puff puff puff" The arrows hit the spider silk and were all stopped.
"Huh?" Long Er was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and shouted: "Are you Mao Gang?"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed, shook the spider silk and the arrow fell to the ground: "Did you see it? Humph, it's already too late!"
Long Er laughed loudly: "Late? Not too late, Ma Xiaoquan, do you think I only have so much ability? Huh, change the formation."
After Long Er's order, several shadow guards immediately appeared around him.
"Remember, don't fight him head-on! As long as he is injured, you will withdraw!"
