Twilight Boundary Chapter 173

Chapter 173 The Red Lantern Lady Remembers You

"good…"

 The people at the Red Lantern Club were stunned for a long time before they realized that Shopkeeper Hua had won, neatly.

 At once they all stood up and cheered loudly. Even the red lanterns next to the ring seemed to be red and festive.

Up to now, nine battles have been fought, and the Red Lantern Queen will win five battles. Even if she loses in the next battle, it will be a tie. Of course, for the Red Lantern Queen, if it is really a tie in the end, she cannot accept it. , but the gang members finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, the Tsing Yi Gang was silent. Countless people got up and left, leaving the old man's body on the stage.

 Compared to the excitement of the previous night, morale is now extremely low.

 “The next round of sweet potato burning is coming...”

Hu Ma stood up and thought to herself: "I don't know what tricks she has prepared, and how Erguotou plans to defeat her."

While thinking about it, he was about to go back, but suddenly he saw a burst of red light walking towards him. Walking in front was a group of incense burners with their faces covered and their aura mysterious.

 And in their hands, they actually held a small red lantern.

Although this lantern does not look that big, even smaller than the night watch lantern in Zhuangzi, it is full of flowers and very delicate, but the light from the lantern shines out, but it is as red as blood. With an indescribable enchanting temperament.

"This is…"

Being illuminated by this lantern, Hu Ma couldn't help but feel startled. She felt as if her body was being penetrated by some kind of gaze, both inside and outside.

An instinctive sense of crisis made all the hairs on his body stand up. He suddenly felt confused and looked at the group of incense burners warily.

 “I have something to ask you…”

At this time, the incense burner who was walking at the front, holding a red lantern in his hand, suddenly spoke emotionlessly, his voice as if it had been fished out of an ice kiln.

"so…"

Hearing what he said, Hu Ma suddenly realized: "Is this the empress's... true body?"

He once mentioned the red lantern that brought the power of the Red Lantern Queen, but he could feel that the power of both parties was not at the same level at all. He immediately made a guess, nodded hurriedly, and was about to kneel down.

 But the incense burner waved his hand lightly and said: "Forget it."

“I would like to ask you a question, is it because you brought back the news that people from the Tormenting Soul Sect will fight on behalf of the Tsing Yi Gang?”

Hu Ma's heart was already tense, but her face could only be more dignified, and she said in a deep voice: "Yes, I have reported all relevant information to the two guardians truthfully."

He did not dare to stare directly at the red lantern, but he could feel the light of the red lantern flowing strangely, like a person's emotions.

The incense burner was silent for a long time, as if listening to the words of the Red Lantern Lady, and then suddenly increased his tone and said: "Is this news true?"

Hu Ma was already riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so he could only say: "It's true."

The strange red light of the red lantern seemed to suddenly soften, and the voice of the incense-burning disciple also became a little softer, and he said calmly: "Your Majesty said, this matter is of great importance and must not be lost."

“If the news you bring back is true, I will reward you heavily.”

 “If it's false…”

He paused briefly, then snorted coldly and said, "You don't need me to remind you, you also know the consequences."

What else could be the consequences?

 Peel the skin? cramp? Or will he turn into jelly like the demon taught by Tan'er?

Hu Ma was really helpless, but she didn't dare to show it when she was illuminated by the red lantern. She could only reply: "Yes."

After the incense burner said this, he picked up the lantern and walked forward. It seemed that he had finished asking the questions on behalf of the empress. But after he walked more than ten feet, the light of the red lantern turned slightly, and he suddenly stopped and turned his head. Looking at Hu Ma, there was a faint smile on his face:

“By the way, the queen said, she remembers you!”

"remember me?"

Hu Ma waited until the red lantern was gone before she straightened up, feeling cold sweat soaking her back.

How does the Red Lantern Empress remember her? Is it the time when she was invited to come over to deal with Tan'er Cult in Zhuangzi?

 This girl has a pretty good memory!

Logically speaking, being remembered by the boss of the company is not a bad thing, but when he thought of the strange blood light in the red lantern, Hu Ma felt that his whole body was getting hairy.

Now, he understands how much the Red Lantern Empress attaches great importance to the outcome of this fight.

Logically speaking, she has an advantage now with five wins and four losses, but she doesn't want to give up at all in the last round and tries her best to win. For this reason, she doesn't hesitate to come over in person to confirm the news to herself.

However, the Red Lantern Empress personally promised in front of him that if the news was true, she would reward herself heavily. So how much does this have to weigh?

Erguotou wants to do a big thing for itself, but now it looks like it's a bit too big?

Even the risks have increased. With the Tsing Yi Gang in the last battle, if it hadn't been for Sweet Potato Shao or her senior brother to come up, she would have suffered a lot...

 “How are you doing, nephew Hu?”

It was also at this time that when the Red Lantern Lady was seen walking away, Manager Xu and others hurriedly came forward.

Just now, they all saw the incense burner carrying a lantern and coming to talk to Hu Ma. Unfortunately, the red lantern was shining, so they couldn't hear the sound here. However, they noticed that the incense burner had a smile on his face when he left, and they also heard the sound. The words "The Red Lantern Queen remembers you".

 That doesn't sound like a bad thing?

 “It's nothing.”

Hu Ma saw their curiosity, but didn't dare to ask in detail. She also knew that the stakes were very important, so she simply didn't say anything, and just said, "I have something to ask you." Ah, the empress came to ask you something in person?"

But they didn't dare to ask in detail, and Hu Ma didn't dare to say anything further. She could only mumble a few words, and then hurriedly followed Manager Xu back to bed, not even caring about Yang Gong's previous appointment for a drink.

Things are a bit big!

Originally, I just sent a message back to work hard, but now it seems that the empress takes it too seriously, and the risk to myself is also great.

 Erguotou has indeed been convinced to cook sweet potatoes, right?

The reason why I agreed to come back earlier was that Erguotou said that it had reached an agreement with Sweet Potato Shao, but after all, I had not personally asked about Sweet Potato Shao...

 Go to bed, get in touch with Sweet Potato Shao early, and ask her personally before you can rest assured.

Before, I couldn't connect to her because of the distance, but now there is only the last moment left, and she has to rush over anyway. I should be able to call her directly.

“Lao Baigan calls for sweet potatoes to be cooked, can you hear me?”

At night, Hu Ma entered the Benming Temple, pressed her palms on the incense burner, and called out in a low voice several times. She was a little worried, but suddenly she saw a wisp of the incense, connecting to the outside of the red mist, and the sound of burning sweet potatoes. Then it rang.

She also looked very excited: "Senior, so you are also nearby? I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to a good job."

 “I'm here to join in the fun.”

Hu Ma hid the worries in her heart, just lowered her voice, smiled hoarsely, and said: "It seems that Erguotou has already found you. However, I heard you say earlier that I wanted to come here to win this round, but now I have to If you lose, you won't blame me?”

 “What's your fault for doing this?”

Diguashao said in surprise: "Senior Erguotou didn't tell you how many benefits he promised me?"

“I want to win this game to gain fame and earn a fortune. Wouldn't it be better to cash it out directly now?”

"Let me tell you, earlier I thought about whether I should let my senior brother go up, but now it's better. I'll go up myself and please the red light queen first."

“Perhaps if we enter the Red Lantern Club in the future, senior Erguotou and I will have to rely on you to take care of us?”

Hearing her answer, Hu Ma finally felt relieved.

It seems that Mr. Erguotou is still reliable in this kind of big matter. If he really talks too much about it, he will be in harm's way.

 After letting go of this, he suddenly noticed the weirdness in Sweet Potato Shao's words and asked curiously: "Me?"

 “Take care of you?”

"yes…"

Di Gua Shao said mysteriously: "Senior Erguotou told me that you are a hidden master in our Red Lantern Club. Even Miss White Wine needed your help, and he was even more so. If you hadn't taken care of him, , this old life will be lost in Laoyin Mountain..."

 “I'm so lucky to have met you…”

“Senior, senior, we have worked together before. From now on, when I join the Red Light Club, I will follow you...”

 “I wipe it?”

Hu Ma felt a little strange for a moment: "How did Erguotou brag to her?"

“Besides, you are still a member of the Tsing Yi Gang, why do you open your mouth and shut up about what we do at the Red Light Club..."

“The co-author Erguotou didn't vent the problem to you, but directly instigated your rebellion?”

 “Everyone takes care of each other and survives in this world…”

  Inexplicably, he became a mysterious master hiding in the red lantern society. Hu Ma was not a thin-skinned person at ordinary times, and she was a little embarrassed by the sweet potatoes.

 But when the conversation got to this point, I could only pretend to be an expert, said something smoothly, and exited the connection.

Thinking about it, I still feel uneasy. I wanted to ask Erguotou how he negotiated with Diguashao, but unexpectedly, Erguotou also called and connected, and he smiled mischievously as soon as he opened his mouth:

 “Brother, there's no need to thank me.”

“This sweet potato girl is sensible and smart, and she speaks nicely. She sounds like a well-behaved and cute little junior sister!”

“We are all brothers, how can I be your wingman? Don't I understand?”

Hu Ma was speechless upon hearing this. What is this Erguotou carrying in his head every day?

It's true that life is so comfortable that you don't think about anything else, right?

We are different from you. We still want to be alive, we still have to learn skills, and we have to quickly exercise our kidneys...

 …If you don't practice and live here, what's the use of meeting girls?
