Chapter 18 The Mysterious Man
(Two updates today, one update will be available at around 7pm)
Qian Xiaoxing stepped forward and asked, "Who are you, why are Hu Bing chasing you?"
The man wiped his sweat, looked at Qian Xiaoxing in confusion, and asked back: "Who are you? Why dare you kill Hu Bing?"
"I asked you first!" Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but curse. He even answered in this way after saving him.
"Query first, do you understand the rules?" the man replied without showing any weakness.
Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but shook his head and regretted, "Cao, I'd known that I wouldn't be meddling in other people's business, so I saved an idiot."
"Who do you think is an idiot!" the man replied angrily: "I haven't asked you to save me."
"Okay, okay!" Qian Xiaoxing waved his hand and said, "I can't afford to offend you, I can hide, I'll leave!"
After saying that, Qian Xiaoxing turned around and was about to leave. The man shouted, "Wait, can you change me to a horse? I can't run anymore?"
"Are you begging me?" Qian Xiaoxing turned around and said politely to such a rude person: "You kneel down and beg me, call me Grandpa, I'll exchange it for you."
"You!" The manly voiced suddenly, and stopped as if he said to himself: "Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as uneducated people."
After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you educated? I saved you. You didn't say thank you, but you asked me to change your horse. I saw that the left side of your brain is flour and water on the right. Then, when you tremble your horse, it turns into paste, and you're a pure idiot."
"You dare to say that I am an idiot, you are an idiot!" the man replied angrily.
Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but feel excited and said, "Do you dare say you are not an idiot? I'll give you a question that everyone answers, and see if you can answer it."
The man replied dissatisfiedly: "Okay! I don't believe that everyone will answer, I can't answer."
"Then listen." Qian Xiaoxing turned around and asked Lu Shengzhong, "How many suns are there in the sky?"
Lu Shengzhong was stunned for a moment. Such a question was too simple. Is there any other meaning? He stretched out a finger in confusion and said, "One, one."
"By the way." Qian Xiaoxing asked Hu Suoyuan again, "How many moons are there in the sky?"
"One, definitely one." Hu Suoyuan replied seriously.
"Okay, you all answered correctly," Qian Xiaoxing said to the man: "Now they have answered it, then I'll ask you, how many stars are there in the sky?"
"Several stars..." The man couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help laughing and said, "I'll just say it, you can't answer the questions that everyone can answer."
The man said unconvincedly: "You deliberately made things difficult for me, how many stars did you say?"
"If I answer, do you want to tell me who you are, why Hu Bing arrests you, do you agree?" Qian Xiaoxing asked.
When the man thought of this question, Qian Xiaoxing could not answer it and said, "Okay, I promise you, I want to see what answer you have."
"Then listen, I say there are 108,632 stars in the sky." Qian Xiaoxing replied with a random number.
The man said unconvincedly: "You are talking nonsense."
"I'm talking nonsense there. If you don't believe me, go and count. I've really counted it." Qian Xiaoxing walked up to the man and said, "Can you tell me who you are now? You can't be a rude and cheating person, right?"
The man wanted to refute, but couldn't find a reason. He thought about it and said, "My name is Ma Chu. When the Eighth Prince became King Hu, my family was raided and I was arrested. I had no choice but to run out, but Hu Bing found out and chased me."
"Then what official is your family in Hu?" Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but ask.
"Did you ask too much?" Ma Chu replied unhappily: "Now you can tell me who are you?"
Seeing that he didn't answer honestly, Qian Xiaoxing made things difficult for him: "Why should I say it? I won't tell you."
After hearing this, Ma Chu wanted to scold, but then he thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll ask a question that everyone knows. If you can't answer it, you have to tell me."
"Haha, then you need to see and have questions that I don't know. OK, I promise you." Qian Xiaoxing agreed curiously.
Ma Chu said to Lu Shengzhong: "How many eyes do I have on my face?"
"Two, two." Lu Shengzhong answered in confusion, wondering what he was selling in the gourd.
Ma Chu nodded and asked Hu Suoyuan: "How many mouths do I have on my face?"
"I'm sure and sure, there's only one." Hu Suoyuan replied seriously.
"That's right." Ma Chu turned to Qian Xiaoxing with a smile and said, "How many eyebrows do I have on my face?"
"This..." Qian Xiaoxing held his chin with his hand and thought. If he made up a number himself, it would be wrong, because he didn't have the chance to count his eyebrows. If he answered like this, he would definitely make him laugh at him. He had to answer: "Okay, you are so good, you can copy it so quickly."
"Then tell me, who are you?" Ma Chu found a game and felt very happy.
"We are businessmen from Si State. When we come to Hu State to do some business, you also know that Si State and Hu State are fighting. You thought that you must be Hu State's enemy by Hu State. I didn't expect to save the wrong one." Qian Xiaoxing replied.
Ma Chu also guessed a little in his heart and couldn't help but ask: "There is a very famous person named Qian Xiaoxing, is he with you?"
"Uh..." Qian Xiaoxing had three black lines on his forehead and replied: "I'm sorry, the question I should have answered has been answered. Your question is not within the scope of my answer."
"You!" Ma Chu didn't know how to refute Qian Xiaoxing. He was so vengeful that he was extremely stingy. He thought about it and said, "I want to go to Si Guo too. Can you take me there?"
"What are you doing when you go to Si Guo? Don't blame me for not taking you if you don't answer." Qian Xiaoxing asked curiously.
Ma Chu had no choice but to answer: "I was captured by Hu Bing. Only Si State has no Hu Bing. Where is the safest, isn't it?"
"I'm right, but why should I take you? Give me a reason." Qian Xiaoxing looked at Ma Chu, with tender skin and tender flesh, and it was indeed spoiled. It seemed that the identity he said was more in line with.
Ma Chu thought for a moment and said, "I can give you money. Also, after I arrive at Si State, it will definitely be beneficial to Si State. If you don't take me, don't regret it."
"Oh, I like the things you make money the most, so how much do you pay?" Qian Xiaoxing said happily.
Ma Chu took out a stack of silver notes from his arms, took out one from it and said, "This is a silver notes issued by your Si Guo. It should be fine. There is a thousand taels here. Is it enough?"
"The State of Hu actually has the State of Si's silver bill?" Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but be surprised. He took it and took it carefully. It was indeed a denomination of 1,000 taels issued by the State of Si. It seemed that good things were good and spread very quickly. Hu actually had them too.
Qian Xiaoxing put the silver notes in his arms and said, "Okay, I'll take you with you for the sake of the silver notes." Looking at Ma Chu's stack of silver notes, he said, "But the food and accommodation costs are calculated separately."
Ma Chu glanced at Qian Xiaoxing disdainfully, then took out another one from the silver note and said, "I'll give you another thousand taels, that's enough."
He was so generous in his move. Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but laugh and took the silver note and said, "Okay, Mr. Ma is really generous." Looking at the stack of silver note, Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but think about how to bring it all over, and then said, "Just now, my subordinates tried their best to save you, and many of them were injured. Are they rewarded?"
"Take it!" A silver note of one thousand taels floated over again.
Qian Xiaoxing hurriedly caught it, laughing so hard that he couldn't stop. He had never made such easy money. This time he seemed to have encountered a sucker, so who else would he kill if he didn't kill him?
It was already noon at this time. Seeing that Ma Chu was looking for a stream on the roadside to wash his face, Qian Xiaoxing came to the fire-headed soldier and said, "Cook two side dishes for Mr. Ma to deliver them. We can't treat him badly for the 1,000 taels of food."
Then Qian Xiaoxing and several others gathered together for dinner. Qian Xiaoxing said, "Ma Chu claimed to be the family of a high-ranking official in Hu. I think this person is unreasonable and generous in spending money. He is indeed a playboy, but what kind of high-ranking official's family will he be?"
Hu Suoyuan reminded: "The Eighth Prince Hu Kan ascended the throne and defeated Sima Yiqing. Could it be Sima Yiqing's son?"
"Impossible," Mu Peiling immediately replied, "I understand that Sima Yiqing does not have a son."
After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sima Yiqing, the old fox, can't give birth to a son. He did too many bad things, so it's no wonder he had to cut off the incense."
After hearing the suggestion, Lu Shengzhong said, "Seventh brother has to bring him with him, after all, he is an outsider. Our identity must be kept confidential. From now on, Seventh brother, you are Mr. Qian, I am still the housekeeper, and the others are followers. I will ask them to change their name."
"Okay, but I see that Ma Chu is not stupid, so I guessed it. Hu Suoyuan, I'll give you a task. You can stare at him along the way and don't let him do anything randomly." Qian Xiaoxing ordered.
"Shen... No, Mr. Qian, don't worry, please ensure that you complete it." Hu Suoyuan said seriously.
Qian Xiaoxing nodded and said, "This kid has tens of thousands of taels of silver notes on him, and he is generous in his actions. Everyone thinks of ways to get it all."
Hu Suoyuan laughed and said, "What's the difficulty? Just grab it."
"No! We are a great man from Si Guo, how can we be a robber? Hu Suoyuan, you don't think about the bandits." Qian Xiaoxing warned and then said, "I will find a way to get it."
After everyone finished their meal, they saw that Ma Chu in the distance had just finished eating, so everyone rode their horses back on the road. Ma Chu said that he was too tired to ride in the carriage. Qian Xiaoxing took another thousand taels and had to agree.
There are only two carriages in the convoy, one with a carport is for Mu Peiling to ride, and the other one is
There is no carport, but it is used to put weapons. Qian Xiaoxing just let Ma Chu sit in the coachman's position. Qian Xiaoxing was riding a horse, thinking about the thick stack of silver notes, and said, "Young Master Ma, you're bored all the way, let's make a small game."
"It's really boring. What kind of game do you think it's?" Ma Chu asked curiously.
Qian Xiaoxing had already thought about it and said, "Let's make a bet to see who has more knowledge. I'll ask you a question. If you can't answer it and I know the answer, even if I win, I will give me one thousand taels. Of course, for the sake of fairness, you can also ask me questions. If I can't answer it, I will give you one thousand taels, but if you answer it, you have to give me money."
Ma Chu thought about it and the question seemed very fair, and said, "Yes, but I'll ask first."
"Okay, let you first." In order to attract the fish to the bait, Qian Xiaoxing had to let him say it first.
Ma Chu thought for a while and said, "My question is, how old am I?"
Qian Xiaoxing was stunned for a moment. This Ma Chu didn't seem very stupid. He thought for a while and said, "What if I answer correctly, you don't admit it?"
Ma Chu smiled and said, "For only one thousand taels, do I need to lie? If you don't believe it, I will make a vow."
When Qian Xiaoxing saw Ma Chu making some thunderous oath, he had to guess: "Twenty."
"Wrong, I'm only nineteen, give me money." Ma Chu won, happily spread his palms to ask for money.
