C10 One Move Higher than the Other
"Alright, this snake is done for. Everyone, work harder. Kill this snake." Ma Wenliang was in a panic. This snake was too hard to deal with. Not only was the poison all over his body, it was also invulnerable.
Seeing that the Sorcerer had led reinforcements and was about to put on airs and ask for reinforcements from the imperial guards, the snake actually fell. How could he not be overjoyed?
Unfortunately, despite his elation, he couldn't hear the howls of the giant snake clearly. Who told him that the ones around him were just shouting soldiers?
The soldiers, who had been enraged by the snake's attack, rushed towards it as if they had been injected with chicken blood. The huge axes and spears and so on all hacked down at the snake, the originally invulnerable snake was soon dismembered, and it was as dead as it could be.
The soldiers began to cheer out loud with excitement written all over their faces. However, when they saw the bodies of their fellow soldiers lying on the ground, they immediately quieted down. Their expressions had become even gloomier.
"Ahh, because of today, I'll return it to you in the future." The Sorcerer sighed in his heart. Holding the Reincarnation Seal in his right hand, he activated a secret technique. One figure after another was attracted by the Reincarnation Seal and flew out from the corpses, entering the Reincarnation Seal.
"Master Wu, how should we deal with this snake?" Ma Wenliang ordered his assistant to reorganize the army before walking over.
Although the Sorcerer and the others didn't do anything, they were after all here to reinforce them. Even if Ma Wenliang disliked the butcher, he wouldn't flare up at this moment.
"Vice General Xu, what is going on with this snake? Why would it appear in the city? If this happened in the residential district, wouldn't it cause countless people to die?" The Sorcerer's face was ugly as he pretended to scold Lin Ming.
Ma Wen felt stifled. How the f * ck would he know what was going on?
But in his eyes, his little brother, Ma Shaoliang, was now known as the Mage God of Thorns. Even if Ma Wenliang was angry, he still couldn't release it ah … Who told him to take over the city's defenses? On the surface, both sides' positions had completely changed, and he didn't have any choice but to cooperate.
"Lord, I too did not know that the appearance of such a huge snake would leave no traces on the surrounding walls. I'm afraid that they have been hiding in the city for a long time before coming out to commit evil." Ma Wenliang lowered his head. He could only blame himself.
"General Xu, please explain this to your general. I will send the master to help you with the aftermath. I hope you can find out the reason. I don't want to see a next time." After the Sorcerer finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left, doing his best to perform.
Ma Wenliang hurriedly said yes. He was furious, but he couldn't throw it at the Sorcerer. The Sorcerer had already sent someone to take care of the aftermath.
"General, look at this snake?" The deputy general walked closer and asked carefully.
"Bastard! Do you still need me to teach you this? So many of my brothers have died. If I don't drink the snake's blood and eat its flesh, how can I quell the anger in my brother's heart?" Ma Wenliang scolded angrily.
The deputy general nodded repeatedly. He didn't dare to disturb the furious Ma Wenliang any longer and killed the poisonous snake by himself.
"Bang." At Ma Family Villa, Ma Yuan directly smashed the teacup in his hand onto the body of the spy who came to report.
"Bastard, what did you say? Ma Wenliang killed a giant serpent that had barged into Tongzhou City and cooked it?"
"Two, Second Master, it is indeed like that. Last night, there was a giant snake that appeared in Tongzhou City. It fought against the city guards for half the night and was not a match for them and was killed. Third Young Master cooked the snake and gave it to the soldiers to eat." The scout was very careful.
"Damn it, tell me what that snake looks like." Ma Gang felt that something was wrong and quickly asked.
The scout was very dutiful, describing the snake's unique appearance.
Ma Dong could only feel a dull pain in his chest as blood dripped from his heart.
"Scram, get lost from here." Ma Gang shouted in anger and slammed the table and split the stool.
"Two, Second Master, there's another situation. Before the snake died, it cried out. Speak, speak." The scout hesitated.
"Say what?" The scout was so scared that his legs went limp.
"That huge snake is wailing. Wang Donglai, you're ruthless." The scout went for broke, causing Ma Dao to be stunned for a moment as his face flushed red.
"Wang Donglai, you bastard. Ma Wenliang, you really did it." Ma Yuan pounded his chest in annoyance.
That snake, if Ma Dao didn't know who it was, then he wouldn't be Ma Quan.
He had just sent a capable assistant to his son, but he was already killed by Ma Wenliang. Furthermore, he even cooked and ate his son. No one could take this lying down.
With that huge snake howling, how could Ma Gang not understand what was going on. The fact that Uncle Dong was secretly approaching Ma Wenliang was not a big secret.
When he thought about the status of the Tempest of the Serpents, Ma Yuan's scalp went numb. The Tempest of the Serpents was not a subordinate that he could subdue. It might be even more troublesome if he were to lose face.
The Sorcerer was in a happy mood as he played chess with Wan Lan. The two of them had often been in contact with each other, but in the eyes of the public, they were just like a couple with no meaning. Even the butcher and the others wouldn't come to ruin at this time.
"Lord, you took a good step, I'm afraid the third young master is in dire straits." Wan Lan giggled.
"Aren't you worried that your third young master will go crazy?" The Sorcerer quietly replied.
"It seems like it has something to do with you. Milord, I'm getting more and more confused with you." Wan Lan sighed. The more they got to know each other, the more she discovered that this Ma Shaoliang was truly unfathomable. He clearly knew she was Ma Wenliang's person, yet he still brazenly said something against him.
"In order to understand a person, one has to first make them understand themselves. Lady Wanlan, what do you think?" The Sorcerer smiled.
Wanlan looked at the chess board and suddenly felt a bit annoyed. This guy was taking advantage of her time to speak to set a dead end. There was no way he could play this game anymore.
"The Lord has higher standards than others. Wanlan admits defeat. Wanlan knows what should not be said about the Lord, and I hope that the Lord will not pursue Wanlan's matter." Wanlan said lightly.
There was a trace of distress on her alluring face, a look that made one's heart ache.
"Hehe, is that so? If I'm not wrong, Miss Wan-Lan, your surname is Zuo, right?"
Wan Lan's hand trembled as the chess piece fell to the ground. She looked at the Sorcerer in shock.
The Sorcerer loosened his shoulders. "Actually, it's not hard to guess. You're somewhat similar to the person I sent to the capital."
Wan Lan was truly shocked. She didn't even know if there was anything this Sorcerer couldn't see.
Wan Lan was already surprised that she could recognize the person who had assassinated him that night. But now, she had unknowingly discovered a secret that no one else in the world knew.
"Actually, you don't need to be nervous. You have your own things to do, and I also have my own things to do. However, I hope that you can cooperate with me at the right time. To you, there is nothing bad about it." The Sorcerer smugly said.
Wan Lan was the granddaughter of the old mister Zuo Feng Shan who was sent to the capital by Ma Shaoliang to be framed as a remnant of the Golden Horse Hall. It was no wonder that Wan Lan would come to assassinate him that night.
"You, what exactly do you want to do?" Wanlan could no longer remain calm. The Sorcerer gave her a feeling she couldn't see through.
"You don't have to worry. As long as you cooperate, your family will be fine. I promise." That smile caused Wan Lan to feel a bit more at ease, but she was actually startled. Since when did she feel such a sense of trust towards the Sorcerer?
"Bastard. Xu Wenliang, how do you do things?" At this time, in the camp of the main commander of the camp, Liang Xi Yuan was shouting at Ma Wenliang, who had just come to report, about the names of the 300 thousand men and horses that were stationed there.
How could Liang Xi Yuan not be angry when a gigantic snake had snuck into the city and caused hundreds of soldiers to die?
As he thought of this, the hairs on Liang Xi Yuan's body stood up. In the entire prefecture, only Liang Xi Yuan knew the true identity of the Sorcerer; he couldn't afford to lose.
"Yes, my lord. Your subordinate knows his wrongs." Ma Wenliang was half-kneeling on the ground. He lowered his head and didn't dare to retort.
He was the sworn brother of the current emperor when he was young. He was one of the four famous generals of the Great Yong Empire, the Iron Blood Army. Over the years, he had guarded the city and intimidated the people in the northwest, preventing the Great Yuan Empire from taking even a single step into the northwest border.
"Hmph, get the hell back to me. If you make a mistake again, I'll show you." Elder Liang Xi's face was flushed red, his tiger eyes flashing as he shouted.
That imposing manner, even though Ma Wenliang had been by Liang Xi Yuan's side for a long time, he couldn't help feeling fear. He was a ruthless person.
Ma Wenliang left the camp dejectedly. He felt resentment in his heart. He was really innocent for this matter. However, he was now the general in charge of the security of Tongzhou City.
"Damn it, what is going on?" Ma Wenliang was extremely depressed.
However, what made him even more depressed was still at the end. The moment he returned to the military base that had already been cleaned up, Xing Ping walked over with a dark expression.
"Third Young Master, Second Master has sent Third Young Master to meet him tonight."
Ma Wen felt a pang of conscience and realized that Xing Ping's expression was very strange. Could it be that another demonic mosquito moth had appeared?
Xing Ping nodded and walked to Ma Wenliang's side. He whispered into his ear, "Third Young Master, Second Master sent news over. That big snake last night was Miss Ying."
Ma Wenliang's expression changed as his whole body became sluggish. He was in a daze, but he was frightened.
When he thought of the enchanting woman he had seen once before, Ma Wenliang felt a surge of anger in his stomach. However, when he thought about how he had killed her, a bucket of cold water splashed down on his head, causing his heart to go cold.
That Snake Dowager was an important helper that the Old Ancestor had sent to Tongzhou. He had actually cooked and eaten her. Ma Wenliang immediately felt the world spin around him.
The Ma family's ancestor was a legendary figure. Five hundred years ago, after he fought with the founding emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty for the kingdom but failed, he threw himself into the sect to cultivate immortality and no longer cared about the matters of the Golden Horse Hall.
However, the Ma family's old ancestor was not for the public to see. Over the past five hundred years, he had subdued quite a few monsters and made them serve the Golden Horse Hall.
Snake Dowager was one of them.
Even though Ma Wenliang was confident in himself, at this moment, he couldn't help but curse.
