- Chapter 9 Shelter from the Rain
"Junior sister, let's go out to play?!" Xu Zheng came to the front and said cautiously, lowering his head and not daring to look at her.
Seeing him like this, Ma Chunhua felt soft in her heart. She wanted to refuse, but couldn't bear it. She turned around and looked at the master.
Xiao Yuesheng waved his hand: "Go!"
Ma Chunhua nodded and agreed to Xu Zheng. The two of them wore oilskin raincoats and left the hall to go out to play.
Ma Xingkong shook his head and smiled to himself. They were still children and they were very playful. Even though it was raining so heavily, they still went out to play without stopping them.
Everyone gathered around and talked in low voices.
Ma Chunhua and Xu Zheng walked out of the hall together. The heavy rain poured down on them, and it was very interesting to see them through the oilcloth raincoats.
The two of them were a little curious when they first entered Merchant Castle, so they looked around secretly, trying to understand the terrain clearly, out of sheer curiosity.
The rain was pouring down, and the servants were all hiding in the house, taking a rare rest and not going out to ask for trouble, so no one stopped the two of them.
Unknowingly, the two of them came to the back hall. Ma Chunhua suddenly paused and pointed to the north, and the two of them approached secretly.
The two people's boots were already wet, and they didn't care as they slowly pressed against the window of a hall. The heavy rain poured down, hitting the ground, covering up the sound of their footsteps.
? Reaching out to let the rain soak it in, press the window paper with your thumb, gently poke a small hole, put your right eye up, and look inside.
"Hu Yidao, Quchi, Tianshu!"
"Miao Renfeng, Dicang, Hegu!"
An old man was sitting on a chair in the northeast corner of the hall. He was in his fifties, with gray hair, but his voice was so cold that his whole body felt chilly when he heard it.
Opposite her, there was a handsome young man dressed in fancy clothes, with a dart bag on his waist, containing more than a dozen golden darts. Opposite her were two big men in fancy clothes, each holding a sign, jumping up and down, and walking quickly across the hall.
There are two people drawn on the sign, one is a big man with a thick beard and the annotation "Hu Yidao", the other is slender and tall and the annotation is "Miao Renfeng". The acupuncture points all over the body are also painted on it, which is extremely detailed and seems to be a training map. generally.
Every time the old driver reported a name, the golden dart flashed and was shot out by the handsome young man, hitting the sign with a neat technique.
When Ma Chunhua saw him, she immediately pulled Xu Zheng, backed away slightly, and left the hall, signaling him not to speak.
After walking far away, Xu Zheng looked back and asked: "Junior sister, what are they doing?"
"Let's practice escorting." Ma Chunhua said casually, looked around, and whispered: "Let's go back quickly, don't be discovered!"
"Why?" Xu Zheng asked nonchalantly.
Ma Chunhua glanced at him and said: "Peeping at others practicing is a taboo in martial arts. They let us come in to take shelter from the rain. They had good intentions. If they see us, they may become enemies!"
Normally, after studying, Xiao Yuesheng also talked about some martial arts affairs, dissecting some martial arts rules and some conspiracies and tricks to her in detail. The ghost realm of the human heart often made her shiver all over.
"Well, that's true!" Xu Zheng nodded and followed her into the hall.
??When I first entered the hall, in addition to the escorts from the escort agency and the porters, there were three more men. They were standing and unwetting their clothes. Judging from their attire, they were military attach¨¦s from the imperial court.
The three of them turned their heads and saw Ma Chunhua taking off her oilcloth raincoat. Their eyes lit up, they looked at each other, smiled slightly, and kept sweeping towards Ma Chunhua, almost greedy, with fire and unscrupulousness.
Seeing them looking at his junior sister like this, Xu Zheng's face darkened and he stared at them fiercely.
Ma Chunhua didn't care. She had seen this kind of look many times. The men she came into contact with were mostly warriors and rough men. When they saw beautiful women, they always looked like evil wolves.
"Dad!" Ma Chunhua came closer and called in a low voice.
"Where have you been wandering around?" Ma Xingkong was sitting with his eyes wide open and closed. He opened his eyes and asked with a smile.
Ma Chunhua lowered her voice: "There are people practicing in the back. The owner of this house is a practicing practitioner!"
"Oh¡ª¡ª?" Ma Xingkong raised his eyebrows and nodded without moving: "Well, I understand!"
"Dad, Hu Yidao, who is Miao Renfeng?" she asked in a low voice.
"Huh -?" Ma Xingkong's eyes opened and brightened for a moment, then his face darkened, and he hummed in a low voice: "How do you know them?"
"I just saw it from behind." Ma Chunhua whispered: "It seems that the enemies of the owner of this family are using their portraits to practice darts! Dad, who are they?"
"Hu Yidao died ten years ago. That Miao Renfeng, hehe, was like thunder He was known as the invincible fighter in the world, and the golden-faced Miao people?! "
"Hey, you have such a strong tone, how does it compare to Master?" Ma Chunhua became interested and asked hurriedly.
Ma Xingkong pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I haven't compared, but the Taoist priest is probably a little worse."
"Hmph, Master's martial arts skills are unfathomable, I don't believe it!" Ma Chunhua's face sank, she turned away and came to sit next to Xiao Yuesheng.
Xiao Yuesheng was sitting next to the fire, all alone. There was a large space next to him, which was unknowingly made available by the bodyguards.
Ma Chunhua reached out to lift the small red clay stove, poured a cup for Xiao Yuesheng, and said softly: "Master, drink tea!"
At this time, the three military attach¨¦s took off their wet clothes and sat down on the other side of Ma Chunhua, very close to each other.
Ma Chunhua turned to them, glanced at them with clear black and white eyes, turned her head, and frowned.
"Master, I sit here." Ma Chunhua stood up and came to sit on the other side of Xiao Yuesheng.
Xiao Yuesheng turned his head and glanced at the three of them. His cold eyes turned on their faces, expressionless, and nodded lightly: "Chunhua, offer a cup of tea to the three adults for me!"
"Master!" Ma Chunhua refused.
Xiao Yuesheng raised his eyebrows and winked quickly.
"Yes!" Ma Chunhua understood, but still looked reluctant. She took out a white porcelain tea cup from the wooden box next to her and filled the pot with it.
"Junior sister!" Xu Zheng had a hot temper and was furious when he saw this. He shouted, stood up and glared at Xiao Yuesheng.
"Zheng'er, sit down!" Ma Xingkong shouted in a deep voice with a majestic expression.
Xu Zheng was still dissatisfied, but he would never disobey his master. He sat down and glared at Xiao Yuesheng angrily.
Ma Chunhua holds the lamp in her hands. The skin on her hands is white and moist, with a faint gleam, just like mutton-fat jade.
With a light and graceful gait, she slowly walked up to the three of them, with a faint smile on her face and a stunning face. The hall became quiet, and people's eyes were attracted to her.
The three military attach¨¦s stood up and stared at her with bright eyes.
Ma Chunhua¡¯s bright eyes flickered over the faces of the three of them, then landed on the strongest man. She walked up to him and said with a smile: ¡°Master, please have tea!¡±
As soon as she finished speaking, she gently moved her hands, and the white porcelain tea cup flew out smoothly, as if it was held by an invisible hand, and flew slowly towards the big man.
Everyone was surprised, they didn¡¯t expect that she would use this move.
The big man puffed up his chest, smiled, and slowly stretched out his thick-jointed right hand to take the tea cup.
Just when it was about to touch the tea cup, it suddenly swayed, turned in the air, and drew an arc, just in time to avoid the big man's hand.
"Huh?!" The big man was surprised, as were everyone in the hall.
His face darkened, and in front of everyone, he couldn't wipe his face away. He raised his arms, spread out his fingers in the shape of an eagle's claws, and covered the tea cup.
The tea cup did not change anymore and was firmly grasped by him.
He had a sullen face, bared his teeth, and looked unhappy. He held the teacup firmly, took a sip, closed the lid, pushed it out, and shouted: "Give it back!"
"Woo¡ª¡ª" The tea cup turned into a white light, streaked through the air, and shot towards Ma Chunhua, causing everyone to scream.
"If he hadn't been extremely angry, he would never have been so rude in front of others, but he was made angry by Ma Chunhua.
He just received the tea cup, and it suddenly felt like he had received a piece of red-hot iron. He seemed to be able to smell the smell of burnt flesh. The pain in his palms was unbearable. If he hadn't taken care of his face, he would have screamed.
Ma Chunhua smiled sweetly, reached out and picked lightly, as if picking a flower on the branch, her movements were elegant and graceful, and everyone's eyes lit up.
The teacup fell firmly into her hand, she nodded and sat down in front of Xiao Yuesheng again.
Everyone in the Pegasus Escort Bureau was in high spirits and full of admiration. They had seen Ma Chunhua's martial arts and were no longer surprised.
??Everyone glanced at the three of them from time to time, showing disdain. Even their own ladies couldn't beat them, and they were still officials!
The three military attach¨¦s had gloomy faces, but did not break out. They stopped saying anything. Their eyes glanced at Ma Chunhua from time to time, and they no longer had the previous wantonness and greed.
Although they are inferior to Ma Chunhua in martial arts, their horizons are extremely broad and they are more knowledgeable. They know that Ma Chunhua is a rose with thorns.
As a member of the government, I have a thick skin, but I don't seem to notice the contempt of others.
Ma Chunhua sat down, Xiao Yuesheng glanced at her, smiled slightly, and showed a hint of approval, which made her extremely excited.
She whispered: "Master, how is my Tianshan plum-breaking skill?"
Xiao Yuesheng nodded: "Well, I'm getting started."
Ma Chunhua giggled, her brows filled with excitement.
At just this moment, the hall door was pushed open, and a man and a woman walked in. When people looked around, they felt their eyes lit up, and the hall seemed a little brighter.
This man is about thirty-seven or seventeen years old. He has a long body and a majestic air, just like Pan An's reincarnation or Song Yu's resurrection. His eyes are shining brightly and there is a chill in his eyes. When everyone sees it, they feel awe-struck, but he is a master!
The woman is a young woman, about twenty-three or four years old, with skin as smooth as snow and picturesque eyebrows. She is really beautiful. In terms of beauty of appearance, she is even better than Ma Chunhua.
It¡¯s just that since Ma Chunhua practiced the Baoxu Jue, her temperament has changed, her face is radiant, and she feels no less inferior to this young woman.
This young woman has a golden crested hairpin on her head, embedded with a pearl, which is slightly larger than a longan. At a glance, she can tell that she is either rich or noble.
Xiao Yuesheng's eyes turned around on the pearl, then he withdrew his gaze, lowered the curtain to look at it, and saw that the Dantian under his belly was filled with purple air.
The two took off their wet clothes. The man found a bundle of wheat straw and spread it on the ground. He helped the woman sit down with gentleness and consideration. Ma Chunhua's bright eyes flashed and she looked at the master.
She stood up, walked forward, and whispered something to the young woman that others could not hear clearly.
The young woman nodded. Ma Chunhua came back, opened the wooden box, took out a set of clothes, pulled the young woman out of the hall.
Looking at their condition, everyone guessed that they must have gone to change their clothes.
The three military attach¨¦s looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces. Their eyes were staring at the slim and beautiful backs of the two women, their gazes burning as if they could burn.
One of them stood up and walked outside.
When Xu Zheng saw it, he also stood up and walked outside with long, eager steps.
The other two military attach¨¦s shook their heads and gave a helpless smile, but ignored them. They were just colleagues and competitors.
After a while, Ma Xingkong also stood up, paced forward with his hands behind his hands, as if to see how heavy the rain was.
Xiao Yuesheng closed his eyes slightly, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and everything in half of the villa flashed in his mind.
Ma Chunhua held the young woman's hand, and the two talked for a while. She already knew that the young woman's name was Nan Lan, but she didn't know any martial arts.
She told her that her husband was very good to her and was really enviable. Nan Lan pursed her lips and smiled, showing a happy look, but there was also a hint of worry.
Ma Chunhua is no longer the innocent girl she was originally. Over the past year, she has been accompanying Xiao Yuesheng, listening to him analyze people's hearts and human nature. She has gained an understanding of the dangers in the world and has some insights.
Although he saw that Nan Lan had a different look on his face, he stopped asking her. Since they were strangers to each other, it was better not to have a casual conversation when they met by chance.
The two of them changed their clothes and were walking into the hall. Suddenly they heard shouting next to them and turned around. It was the martial arts training hall that she and Xu Zheng had visited before.
She hesitated for a moment, then listened carefully and heard the faint voice of her senior brother. She no longer hesitated and pulled Nan Lan over.
As soon as he entered, he saw the military attache staggering back and sitting down on the ground, while Xu Zheng had a sneer on his face and was very proud of himself.
There was another person, but he was a handsome young man, with a smile on his face and a sense of kindness. He was the young martial arts practitioner she had glimpsed earlier.
Ma Chunhua¡¯s face sank, she glanced at Xu Zheng, waved her hand, and said, ¡°Senior brother, daddy is calling you!¡±
After saying that, he pulled Nan Lan and turned around and left, ignoring the young man.
Xu Zheng chased him outside the hall and said, "Master, do you want to greet me?"
Ma Chunhua turned her head and glanced at the roof. Nanlan and Xu Zheng were curious and looked around. There was no one or anything.
"Brother, you!" Ma Chunhua shook her head and ignored her. She just pulled Nanlan into the hall and sat down directly in front of Xiao Yuesheng.
When she came in, Ma Xingkong had just sat down, his face serious.
Xu Zheng came to him and whispered something in a low voice, but Ma Chunhua ignored him and said softly: "Master, senior brother and that guy started fighting."
????????? Xiao Yuesheng nodded, without moving his body, making hand gestures, opening his eyes slightly, flashing his eyes, and said softly: "We'll see later."
Ma Chunhua nodded sadly.
Senior brother Xu Zheng was reckless, hot-blooded, and would not consider the consequences, but now she has a thorough understanding of the world. In the eyes of these military attaches, a small escort agency is no different than an ant, and it is easy to crush it to death.
"Knocking on the mountain shakes the tiger." Xiao Yuesheng said, then closed his eyes and lowered the curtains, and returned to take a look.
Ma Chunhua was thoughtful. After thinking for a while, she nodded slowly and realized something.
SuddenlyThe hall fell silent, and the sound of horse hooves came from outside. About a dozen horses came on horseback. Ma Chunhua frowned and whispered: "Master, it's not good!"
Xiao Yuesheng closed his eyes, made a hand seal, and remained motionless. Only his lips moved slightly: "Well, I'm here for the escort agency!"
Ma Chunhua turned her head and said in a loud voice: "Dad, the escort robber is coming, everyone, please prepare!"
Her voice was calm and composed. Everyone was in a hurry, but when they saw her like this, they became much calmer.
Ma Xingkong stood up and shouted: "Everyone, copy the guy! Guard!"
He came to the entrance of the hall with long strides and calmly. The door was closed tightly, but the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. In a blink of an eye, he was approaching, and suddenly with a whistle, eight horses galloped behind.
Immediately, eight big men appeared on the wall, all dressed in black, holding swords in their hands, looking at everyone without saying a word.
Ma Xingkong took a deep breath, sneered, clasped his fists and said, "Who are these friends? Do you have any advice?!"
The eight big men said nothing and just stared at him.
Ma Xingkong wanted to say more, but the door was slammed open, and a man came in with his head raised, wearing a royal blue satin robe, but his appearance was as trivial as a monkey wearing a crown, which was indescribably ridiculous.
He stood under the eaves of the gate, glanced at Ma Xingkong and others, sneered, tiptoed, and passed by, landing in front of the hall.
There were only a few raindrops on the shoulders, but the rest of the area was clean and free of rain.
Ma Xingkong's face darkened. With such a light skill, he was far inferior and should not be underestimated.
He has a jasper ring in his right hand and an emerald snuff bottle in his right hand. The buttons on his robe are made of gold and shine with golden light.
He lazily clasped his fists and said, "My surname is Yan Mingji. Are you the Yum Shen Fist Ma Xingkong of the Pegasus Escort Agency?"
"That's right, little old man, what is Yan Zhuangshi here for?" Ma Xingkong's heart sank, but he had already stepped on the plate and came here on purpose.
As for Yan Ji, I have never heard of this name. I don¡¯t know where it is. I just saw that he has good light skills, but he is not a good person.
The two were talking again, and Ma Chunhua turned around and left, returning to the hall.
In the hall, the escort masters did not move. Together with the escorts, they surrounded more than ten escort cars, with their backs to the escort cars and their faces facing outward.
No matter what happens, they will not leave the escort car. The escort is there and no one is dead.
"Master, there is a man named Yan Ji coming from outside, who seems to be trying to kidnap the escort." Ma Chunhua came to Xiao Yuesheng and whispered.
Xiao Yuesheng opened his eyes and remained motionless. He glanced at her, as if reproachfully: "You must act calmly, calm down, don't be in a hurry!"
"Yes, Master!" Ma Chunhua stuck out her tongue and said with a smile.
She was anxious, but she sat down, added a piece of firewood, and stirred the fire again to make it more prosperous.
Xiao Yuesheng glanced at her and saw her sitting down, closing her eyes slightly and starting to meditate, and couldn't help but smile.
He could see that Ma Chunhua was so confused now, and her mind was as fast as a galloping horse, but she was able to calm herself down, which was quite an achievement.
Such an opportunity is exactly the way to practice her mind, which can sharpen her character.
Ma Chunhua's mind was like a revolving lantern, running around, sometimes anxious, sometimes concerned. Even though she was sitting here, her mind was running outside.
Her heart was like boiling water, but her body was motionless, suffering like an ant on a hot pot.
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and thought that as long as the master was here, her father would be fine, but she was worried for nothing!
With a few thoughts, her mind was fixed, her breath became smooth, her breathing became calm and even, and she slowly calmed down.
While the master and apprentice were talking, a group of people suddenly poured in at the door of the hall, including the big men in black and Yan Ji.
Xu Zheng rushed forward and fought with Yan Ji for several rounds. He was hit by a punch and knocked down, causing him to vomit blood.
"Master!" Ma Chunhua couldn't sit still anymore and shouted hurriedly.
Although Xu Zheng was reckless, he was warm-hearted and a good person. He played with her again, but now that he was injured, she felt anxious.
Xiao Yuesheng waved his hand: "Don't worry, he doesn't dare to kill anyone."
He has already seen that among these robbers, there is only one master, and the rest are mediocre. If the Pegasus Escort Bureau fights to kill them, it will be difficult for them to gain favor.
Soon, Ma Xingkong also took action. The disciple lost his hand, and the master naturally had to find his way back.
"Give it to him and take it." Xiao Yuesheng took a porcelain vase from his arms and threw it to Ma Chunhua.
Ma Chunhua took it and appeared next to Xu Zheng in a flash. She poured out a red longan-sized pill and brought it to Xu Zheng's mouth: "Brother, take it!"
Xu Zheng opened his mouth without hesitation, swallowed it, and it melted in his mouth. A fragrance penetrated straight into his heart. His whole body felt light, and his body seemed to have no weight.
Ma Xingkong and Yan Ji were fighting fiercely, and people were watching intently.
Ma Chunhua looked twice and frowned. Yan Ji was coming and going with only a dozen moves, but he was able to withstand Ma Xingkong even though he was using them over and over again.
Ma Xingkong finished one set of Cha Quan, but he couldn't help it, so he switched to Yan Qing Quan, which was like a raccoon cat, a small skill.
Yan Ji still used more than ten moves back and forth to resist Ma Xingkong.
Ma Xingkong changed his moves again, and it was a set of "Lu Zhishen's drunken fall", where he staggered, fell down and down suddenly, and his moves were often unexpected and difficult to guard against.
Xiao Yuesheng glanced at the corner of the room, where an old man and a young man were huddled together. The old man's right sleeve was empty, and the child was sallow and thin, as if he had not eaten enough for a long time.
He turned to the child's face and moved his brows, quite a bit moved. Although this child looked inconspicuous, his eyes were pure. He was a man of firm will and upright character, and his aptitude for martial arts was not bad. - Didn't finish reading?
