Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan drove a carriage and took Li Qinghan, Dongfang Qingxue, and Bei Mingxue along the way. They followed the official road to an official post and took a break...
"Slow down." Ma Xiaoquan raised his hand and signaled the three girls not to go in yet.
"What's wrong?" Li Qinghan asked.
Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and looked at the tall and thin man in front of him carefully, and asked: "You...your body is mutilated..."
The tall and thin man's expression suddenly changed, but he quickly recovered.
"How do you know, sir?" the tall and thin man asked.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "A normal man must have an Adam's apple on the front of his neck, his voice is relatively rough, and his skin is rough. I see that you don't have an Adam's apple and your skin is also very good. It must be..."
"Sir," the man seemed to have some unspeakable secrets, "Sir, please show me your noble hand and stop exposing the villain's scars. I beg you, my lord."
As the tall and thin man spoke, he knelt down in front of Ma Xiaoquan.
Dongfang Qingxue stepped forward and complained: "Ma Xiaoquan, you have gone too far."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, sighed and said, "Well, what the Oriental girl said is a bit too much for me. Get up and stop kneeling."
"Thank you, Sir." The tall and thin man slowly stood up.
"Okay, I apologize to you. I shouldn't have exposed your scars, but... your disability is also a fact, isn't it?"
The tall and thin man raised his head and hummed softly: "My lord, please..."
...
Entering the official post, the tall and thin man first prepared stools and tea for Ma Xiaoquan and the four of them.
The four of them sat down. Ma Xiaoquan picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked: "Isn't there usually three people in an official post? Why are you the only one in this official post?"
The tall and thin man sighed: "The younger one is the scapegoat and has been punished so far. The younger one has escaped many times, but he was caught all the time."
"Surrogate body? Are you from the palace?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
The tall and thin man nodded: "The younger one is the fireman in the imperial dining room." Fireman: a eunuch who specializes in making fires and preparing firewood in the ancient palace. "The fireman..." Ma Xiaoquan hummed softly, if there is any
Think about it.
At this moment, several horses barked suddenly from the door.
The tall and thin man was suddenly startled and crouched down quickly, as if he was scared.
Ma Xiaoquan looked curious and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Sir, please, if someone comes in later, no matter what they do to the villain, just pretend you didn't see it, okay?"
"Well, okay"
Ma Xiaoquan's original intention was also the same. Although he was a royal guard and a fourth-rank official, it was better to keep a low profile outside.
At this moment, several officers and soldiers walked in surrounded by a man dressed in rich clothes.
"Xiao Quanzi, you fucking man, come here for grandpa..." A bearded man with an open mind cursed when he saw the tall and thin man squatting in front of Ma Xiaoquan.
"Yes...yes..." The tall and thin man walked listlessly in front of the bearded man like a defeated rooster.
"" The bearded man kicked the tall and thin man to the ground and cursed, "You disgusting eunuch, you walk so slowly, you are looking for death."
The tall and thin man slowly got up from the ground and looked at the bearded man without saying a word.
"You dare to look at me? Damn it." The bearded man rolled up his sleeves and raised his hand to hit him.
"Gangzi, stop it." Next to the bearded man, the man in fine clothes stretched out his hand to stop him, then gently pouted in the direction of where Ma Xiaoquan was sitting.
The bearded man turned his eyes and couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Good guy, except for the short-haired man, the three women sitting with him were as beautiful as fairy daughters.
The bearded man's eyebrows twitched slightly, the corners of the man's mouth raised slightly, he stood up with a smile, and raised his hand to Ma Xiaoquan: "Dai Zheng, sir..."
Ma Xiaoquan picked up the tea cup and drank it by himself. He didn't care at all about the man in fine clothes asking questions.
"You..." The bearded man saw that Ma Xiaoquan was not like their young master, and he couldn't help but feel angry. Just as he was about to step forward and curse, the man in rich clothes grabbed him.
"Master, he..." the bearded man said a little unconvinced.
Dai Zheng didn't care too much about Ma Xiaoquan's rudeness to him. On the contrary, in his opinion, those who could not treat him seriously must be a powerful person who is either rich or noble.
"Gangzi, bring that gentleman a jug of good wine."
"Young Master" the bearded man was obviously a little reluctant.
"Go quickly!" Dai Zheng's expression darkened. The bearded man was startled, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and ran out of the official post quickly.
After a while, a bearded man ran in holding a gourd.
"Send it to that adult," Dai Zheng ordered.
"yes"
The bearded man gently placed the gourd in front of Ma Xiaoquan. From the corner of his eye, he secretly glanced at the three beauties beside Ma Xiaoquan.
"Gulu." The bearded man swallowed hard and backed away angrily.
Ma Xiaoquan reached out and picked up the gourd, shook it gently twice, opened the mouth of the gourd, and a rich aroma of wine spread.
"Yeah, good wine," Ma Xiaoquan pressed his mouth on the gourd and praised it.
"Sir, don't you want to try it?" Dai Zheng suggested with a smile.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, flicked his right hand gently, and threw the gourd to Dai Zheng.
Dai Zheng was slightly stunned, then reached out and grabbed the gourd.
"What do you mean, do you look down on me?" Dai Zheng's face darkened and his tone became unkind.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "Your Excellency and I have never met each other. You want to know me, but I don't want to know you. It's as simple as that. Do you understand?"
"Damn it, don't give me a toast or drink as a penalty. My young master treats you with wine because he thinks highly of you. Who do you think you are?" the man with a beard cursed.
Ma Xiaoquan snorted and shook his head, ignoring the bearded man.
"Hey... you're pretty cool, okay, I'll come and meet you today, sir," the big man with a beard said, rolling up his sleeves and revealing his strong arms.
"Ma Xiaoquan..." Li Qinghan looked at Ma Xiaoquan worriedly.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and said to the three women: "Don't worry, we can defeat the enemy without fighting."
After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan twisted his neck, stood up and walked towards the bearded man.
When he got closer, Ma Xiaoquan stared at the bearded man with murderous intent in his eyes.
Ma Xiaoquan was actually betting that if this bearded man dared to attack him, he would not mind killing him at the next moment. Killing such a self-righteous guy at such a close distance, not to mention his strong body, he is a martial arts master, Ma Xiaoquan is also
Kill it at any cost.
"Wait a minute!" At this critical moment, Dai Zheng, who was behind the bearded man, suddenly spoke.
