Twilight Boundary Chapter 168

Chapter 168: Made a Contribution

Other than the reincarnated person, who else can be so insidious, poking at people's most painful places with just one sentence?

Hu Ma was relieved upon hearing this, but she didn't dare to look at Erguotou carefully.

 The more reality he saw, the more cautious he had to be, so he just lowered his head, intending to watch the excitement, and listened silently to how Zheng Daxiang Master was being squeezed.

“I...I dare not say that the incense burner made a mistake...”

Zheng Daxiang Master also went down for a long time. He reacted for a long time before he thought of an explanation and hurriedly said: "The Qingshi Town branch resigned a shopkeeper earlier. This is a special period, so it is a bit chaotic."

"snort!"

The Erguotou wearing a smiling mask snorted coldly and said: "No matter how chaotic it is, can it be so chaotic that the shopkeeper can't tell who is who?"

As he spoke, his voice became softer and he said to Master Zheng Xiang: "Don't be afraid, Master Zheng Xiang. I know you are thinking about the meeting. What you just said makes sense. It is really that those people who burn incense are doing something outrageous. Now even who is The shopkeeper can't even tell the difference, so after a long time, doesn't it mean that he can't even tell who the empress is?”

When he heard this, he meant to cause trouble for the incense burner, but Zheng Xiangzhu was so cold that he broke out in a cold sweat.

 It's bad. Didn't you offend the incense burner?

Although I am the incense master in the Red Lantern Club, if I offend the people around the Red Lantern Lady, how can I be left behind?

 I wanted to explain it for a moment, but I really didn't know how to explain it.

 “Brother Erguotou, this play is okay...”

Hu Ma didn't dare to show any flaws at the side, but he was also very happy watching the show, but at this moment, a cold and stern look suddenly looked at him.

It was Erguotou. Under the smiling mask, he spoke sternly and shouted: "But you, the little shopkeeper, are really a little bold. You usually eat the money and food given by the empress, but now at an important time, you dare to run away from the battle?"

 “Damn, you scared me...”

Hu Ma couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart when she received that gaze, as if an evil ghost had jumped on her face.

If it weren't for knowing that he was Erguotou, I would be afraid that my legs would be weak.

He hurriedly gathered his thoughts and came up with the words he had already thought of, saying: "Dharma protector Ming Cha, I didn't run away from the battle, and I didn't know in advance that there would be such a big thing in the meeting that would require someone to be hired. I..."

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, glanced at Sun Niuzi, and said: "...I did get word from someone earlier that they wanted to promote me to the position of shopkeeper, but then... this shopkeeper Sun came and said that it was the order of Master Zheng Xiang. Let him take the position of shopkeeper, and I will follow and learn the rules."

When Master Zheng Xiang heard this, his expression changed, and Sun Niuzi, who was kneeling at the back, said hurriedly: "I don't..."

 "I...I just followed what my brother-in-law said..."

Zheng Xiangzhu turned around sharply and glared at him, so that he didn't dare to say anything.

At this time, the guardian wearing the mask with a crying face was a little impatient and said: "It's not like I haven't heard how you usually do things, so don't argue here. Little shopkeeper, don't pretend to be aggrieved. You should be arrogant." No matter the reward or punishment, you can't escape.”

"yes."

Hu Ma said hurriedly: "I just want to say that when I went out this time, I received a mission from the meeting and reported it to the city."

“I was thinking that if I could find out the murder case of the wealthy Shen family, I would make a great contribution and then come back…”

 I won't say it again at this point, since everyone understands it anyway.

“Really, the position of a small shopkeeper is worth fighting for so badly.”

Erguotou above took over the conversation at the right time. He looked at Hu Ma with a mocking tone and said, "Then you've done your job?"

Hu Ma looked ashamed, shook her head and said: "No, instead he was injured and almost lost his life..."

 “Who has the patience to listen to this?”

Erguotou was already impatient: "I don't care what time it is now. Why don't you bother me for such a trivial matter? Let's take him out first and beat him half to death!"

As soon as he heard what he said, the people next to him would take action.

Zheng Xiangzhu and others next to him were also slightly agitated. They were not afraid of the little shopkeeper being punished, or even the protector being angry. Now he needed a scapegoat. The more severe the punishment he received, the harder it would be for the scapegoat to escape him.

If you don't accomplish anything outside, won't this give you some credit when you come back?

 “Why do you have to beat me half to death...”

Hu Ma was startled and said hurriedly: "Dharma Protector, please listen to what I have to say. I also know that the errand cannot be completed and I shouldn't come back."

“It's just because I accidentally bumped into a group of people and found out that they were going to cause trouble with our Red Light Society, that I hurriedly came back to report the news.”

 After Leng Buding heard this, everyone, including Zheng Xiangzhu, was a little surprised.

Before Erguotou said anything, the guardian with the crying face mask had already looked at Hu Ma in surprise: "Who is it?"

Hu Ma took a deep breath and said quickly: "The man's surname is Lu and his name is Lu Xiujin."

"He was originally the eldest son of Lu's Rice Shop in Wutong Town, but he secretly learned the unique skill of Huang Guanzhi, and the master he worshiped was an old priest of the Qingyi Gang. Now he is coaxing I have met many people in the world and borrowed them to refine treasures..."

“I'm still planning to help the Tsing Yi Gang to fight after I have mastered that unique skill, so that I can become famous...”

"What?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was immediately shocked.

Hu Ma could feel that there were countless eyes all around him, and they suddenly looked at him, like needles pricking him.

He hurriedly said: "This is absolutely true. I... I came back injured and almost died, but I was injured by this person's junior sister. He... He didn't seem to have a good relationship with his junior sister. It was the two who were fighting. When I got up, I heard this sentence..."

“…” He looked at Hu Ma and seemed a little confused. The crying Zuo Protector in front of him had already shouted sharply: “Who cares about this?”

“I'm just asking you, are you sure they are coming to fight?”

Hu Ma paused and said, "Yes."

 After saying this word, the two guardians were actually trembling with excitement.

The guardian with a crying face was just a little excited after hearing this, but Erguotou was shaking even more than she was.

 Laoge's drama is also quite good...

"quick…"

But before Erguotou could speak, the crying mask said nervously: "What kind of people are they and what are their abilities? Tell me in detail!"

"yes."

Hu Ma said hurriedly: "I received an errand at that time and asked shopkeeper Sun to watch in the village. Then I set off. I was thinking...to collect more travel expenses. I heard that there was a drought in Mancang Town, so I went there..."

  …“…collect some travel expenses.”

"I happened to meet an old beggar with a monkey. He led me to Wutong Town, saying there was a big job there. I thought there might be clues, so I followed him to take a look. It turned out that this beggar was not a good person and deceived me. Got me..."

These words are full of loopholes, but they are also intentional.

As expected, Zheng Xiangzhu immediately wanted to scold him, but the man with the crying face mask said impatiently: "Don't make excuses for yourself, I don't know how you do things."

“They received money and food from the Red Lantern Lady, but they were all greedy. They used the name of the Red Lantern Lady to make money outside, but put aside their business..."

“…But I don't care about you. I just want to ask you how you met them?”

"Yes Yes…"

Hu Ma hurriedly explained in detail what happened when he arrived in Wutong Town, how Master Lu recruited people, how he promised money, how he fished for souls, how he lured them up the mountain, and how he suddenly attracted his junior sister. The two are fighting each other and so on.

These are his personal experiences, so they are absolutely correct.

 Performing a whole show just for this moment.

And when he told them one by one, especially when he said that he saw the brother and sister fighting on the first day, but they reconciled as before the next day, and when he went to take revenge, but was hurt by his sister, the crying face and The two guardians with smiling faces could not hide the excitement behind their masks.

Erguotou chuckled, raised his hand to stop Hu Ma's narration, and said to Crying Face, "What do you think of this information?"

The woman under the mask with a crying face muttered: "Now we have four losses and three wins. If we want to win this battle, we must win all the next three formations."

"And among the remaining three battles, we had one opportunity to call the battle, but this time we were sure to win. The difficulty was in the two battles where we were called."

Erguotou also laughed at the right time and said, "We already discussed a sure-win strategy yesterday, didn't we?"

“Actually, strictly speaking, we are only a short time away, so we are not sure.”

Protector Zuo, who was under the crying mask, was slightly startled and a little excited: "What do you mean..."

“When you call for help, you can always use your best skills to pose problems for others...”

Erguotou laughed lowly and said, "If we knew each other's secrets in advance and guessed each other's unique skills..."

Protector Zuo, who was under the crying mask, was already a little excited: "Could it be that we captured all three formations before we started?"

Erguotou clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Our mother-in-law is very lucky. What this little shopkeeper brings back is the hand that determines the outcome..."

As the two of them talked, they became even more cheerful.

At this moment, Hu Ma closed her mouth, knowing that she had already achieved this achievement, but Zheng Xiangzhu next to her did not expect this at all, let alone that the topic would reach this point, and she could no longer get in the conversation.

Seeing that the two protectors were smiling, he could only reluctantly keep the smile on his face and said tentatively: "Then..."

“Don't worry, Master Zheng Xiang, we know how to reward him...”

Erguotou glanced at Hu Ma and said with a smile: "Of course, his idea is evil. Even the big Shen family was not necessarily killed by Huang Guanzhi alone. At most, both sides just used Huang Guanzhi to cast spells. This The young shopkeeper comes back and talks nonsense without any evidence, but it can be seen that he is a thief, but compared to the big things in the ring, they are just trivial matters."

“When he heard that someone was in trouble with our Red Light Society, he thought of coming back to report the news, which is already worthy of praise.”

 “It's you…”

He suddenly turned his eyes and looked at Master Zheng Xiang, saying: "This little shopkeeper has done a great job for us, which is already good."

"And you?"

“Zheng Xiangzhu, are you willing to let us win steadily for a while?”

Hearing these words, Zheng Xiangzhu already looked a little desperate. After a long time, he whispered: "I'm willing to give up.
