Mahan knew that the leader of Lotus Hua suddenly barged in like this and must have encountered something urgent. He hurriedly clasped his fists and asked, "But what's the emergency?"
The Lotus Leader nodded, "I killed Zhu Yan Wang Long in the past few days. Last night I killed Wang Lei and hid in Baihua Tower. However, I was discovered by the army and they are searching for me. I want to be here with you."
Wait until dark and then leave the city."
When Mahan heard this, he said, "Then please come with me."
Mahan took the Lotus Master and went straight into his bedroom.
Then he took out a green suit from the closet and said, "Put this on."
"If the officers and soldiers come to investigate, you go to the backyard. There is a stable in the backyard, and you just pretend to be a boy feeding the horses."
The Lotus Leader nodded and gave Mahan a fist, "Thank you, Brother Ma. I will definitely take credit for you in front of the princess in the future."
Ma Han waved his hand and said, "Master Tang, these are all things for later. You should hurry up and get ready. I'll go out first."
Mahan came to the yard, clapped his hands several times, and called everyone together.
"The person who came here just now is the princess's master, and soon she will be our horse feeder Xiao Tang. If the government and soldiers come to investigate, everyone should stay calm, understand."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this time, Tian Han was drinking comfortably at the teahouse outside the alley when he saw a group of officers and soldiers coming from a distance. About a few hundred people came under the teahouse and dispersed. They began to search from house to house.
As soon as they entered the teahouse, an officer loudly asked the shopkeeper, "Do you know Tian Wen from Zuixianlou?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then smiled cautiously, "I have met him a few times, but I don't have much contact with him."
"Then has he been here today?"
"No, no, there aren't many guests today. I will definitely recognize him if he comes."
Following these few words of dialogue, there was a thumping sound going up the stairs, and two officers and soldiers rushed up the stairs.
One person held a portrait in his hand, spread it out to compare with Tian Wen, and then turned around and left.
Seeing this scene, Tian Wen secretly lamented that the officers and soldiers were moving so fast. In just one hour, he even had his own portrait.
Tian Wen was under investigation, and the Ma family compound was no exception. Someone broke in and took Tian Wen's portraits to compare them one by one.
Seeing Tian Wen's appearance in the portrait, Master Lotus breathed a long sigh of relief.
It seems that I am still safe for the time being.
It's just that the leader of the Lotus Flower Church was a little too happy. After the wave of officers and soldiers left, they waited for more than half an hour before noon came.
Mahan specially prepared two extra dishes, but the Master Lotus was shocked.
Mahan poured a glass of wine, raised it with a smile and said.
"The leader is auspicious, and everything will be fine."
Naturally, the Lotus Leader had to respond positively. She also smiled and raised her wine glass, "As long as it gets dark, I will leave Qingniu County and stop causing you any trouble!"
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a loud bang on the door, and another group of officers and soldiers rushed in. As soon as they entered, they shouted loudly into the room, "Everyone, come out for inspection."
When Ma Han heard this, his expression changed.
He immediately put down his wine glass and said to everyone, "Everyone will act based on my look. If you really can't hide it, you will take action immediately."
After giving instructions, Mahan smiled and was the first to walk out of the room.
"Master Jun, what's going on at this late afternoon..."
Before he could finish speaking, the leader waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, stop arguing, just stand there and accept the inspection."
Mahan called the people behind him to stand in a row, and he stared at the speaker warily.
This man held a picture in his hand, and the picture on it was none other than the Lord Lotus.
The leader of Lotus Flowers has been in Baihua Tower for so long, so many people have seen her, and she also shows her true face, so she has an eighty-nine-point portrait.
Mahan immediately became nervous.
I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect that the big head was behind.
Lord Lotus also knew that it was obviously too late to change his appearance now.
She secretly held a handful of cow-hair needles in the palm of her hand, and as soon as the other party recognized her, she would take action immediately.
The little leader took the portrait and compared it with Mahan first.
Then he shook his head and walked to the next one. Taking this opportunity, Mahan and the Lotus Master looked at each other. The Lotus Master nodded slightly, indicating to Mahan that he was ready.
If Master Lotus is prepared, everything will be much easier.
The little boss checked one by one and finally came to the Lord Lotus.
The leader of the Lotus Flower Sect was dressed in coarse green clothes and his hair was tied up. He looked like a young junior.
The little leader held the portrait to the Lotus Master, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said, "Take off your hat."
The Lotus Leader knew about the other party and had seen the clues. She raised her left hand and slowly reached for her hat, then gave Mahan a look.
Mahan nodded slightly in response.
When everything was ready, the Lotus Leader suddenly took a big step to the right, dodged the little boss in front of him, and raised his hand to the soldiers behind the little boss.
A handful of ox-hair needles flew out quietly, and the soldiers were caught off guard. They were still looking at the little boss checking them one by one. Who would have thought that the Lotus Cult Master would suddenly attack.
At this time, Mahan suddenly shouted loudly and rushed forward.
The person closest to the leader of the Lotus Cult, a hungry tiger pounced on the little leader.
The little boss didn't even understand what was going on. He was thrown to the ground, and the next moment he felt a chill on his neck.
Seeing this scene, Ma Han shouted loudly, "Don't use the knife."
But it was too late, the little leader's neck had already been scratched by a sharp knife.
A trace of blood has seeped out.
The Lotus Cult Master stepped forward, stretched out his hand to cover the man's neck, and said to the person who had just attacked him.
"Take off your clothes and wrap yourself up."
Soon all the soldiers on the scene were cleaned up. Except for the little leader who was wiped on the neck with a short knife, the others had no obvious external injuries.
Mahan pointed to the east wing, "Drag it into the woodshed and throw it into the cellar."
More than a dozen soldiers disappeared in the blink of an eye. The scene was cleaned up and no trace could be seen.
Everyone returned to the house and sat down to eat. They were no longer in the mood to drink, and they were full after eating three times five times five times two times.
While eating, the Lotus Leader began to warn, "There are now a dozen officers and soldiers missing. Sooner or later they will come to search again."
"I can't stay any longer. None of us can escape."
Mahan looked at him in surprise, "Then where else can you go?"
Lord Lotus smiled slightly.
"Go to Baihualou."
"Everyone in Baihualou has been taken away. It's safest for me to go back now."
"By the way, do you have anything to say to the princess? I will help you take her out tonight."
Mahan looked around and clasped his fists, "Please help me tell Her Highness the Princess that we will be waiting for her at Qingniu County."
The Lotus Leader nodded and turned around to go out.
