C4 Unfriendly Approach
"Milord, your subordinate and bodyguards couldn't make it, so I deserve to die a thousand times for my crimes." The hundred imperial guards who were on duty all knelt down with a single knee, their faces ashen.
Under their protection, an assassin would sneak in and nearly take the life of the Sorcerer. The butcher was beyond furious.
The Sorcerer glanced at the butcher and thought, "If you guys were useful, how could I have been harmed by the Golden Horse Hall?"
"Get up, major man. This thief is extremely skilled, and a moment of carelessness like this is unavoidable. All of you can leave now." The Sorcerer coldly said.
Amongst the five centurions sent by the Emperor, the ability of the Heavy Butcher could be considered to be pretty good. Unfortunately, he was too careless.
The butcher looked ashamed, he glared at his men and backed away.
Peace returned to the bedroom as Uncle Dong quietly appeared. There was a secret passage in the bedroom. Otherwise, how could the Sorcerer have been ambushed so easily?
"Young Master, do you know who it is?" Uncle Dong's expression was also unsightly. If the Sorcerer was assassinated right under his nose, then his responsibility would be great.
"This person is covered entirely in black. I can't see who he is, but this stone seal is not bad. It turns out that the sword is unbreakable and can be used as an emergency measure." The Sorcerer played with the stone seal as he smiled.
Uncle Dong was relieved to see that the Sorcerer was fine. However, he secretly hated the fact that he had to capture the assassin.
The safety of the Sorcerer was at stake.
After Uncle Dong left, the Sorcerer frowned. That woman's martial arts weren't bad, and her voice should be very young. But why did she come to assassinate him?
"Grand Master, who do you think it is?" On the other side, his Eastern Uncle An sat in an armchair as he asked Xing Ping, who was sitting below him.
Xing Ping shook his head, "According to the report of the hidden stake, this person's martial arts skills are not inferior to that of the young master. There are many young elites in the land of Tongzhou with such skills."
Both of them were old men of the Golden Horse Hall and they bore a heavy responsibility for Ma Shao Liang's safety. This negligence almost took Ma Shao Liang's life. This startled both of them.
"Perhaps, it's time for the next step." Xing Ping suddenly said.
Uncle Dong was startled. There was some hesitation on his face, but he nodded.
The Sorcerer was a proper martial scholar, and his martial arts were superb. As the Vice Hallmaster of the Golden Horse Hall, he naturally had a certain level of skill, and after being provoked by the assassin last night, the Sorcerer knew that he was suppressing an outsider in Tongzhou. But what about it? It would arouse the hatred of others.
Master Sorcerer Ma Shao Liang had learned the palm and finger techniques of the Golden Horse Hall, which was also one of the Golden Horse Hall's secret techniques. In order to disguise himself as a Sorcerer, Ma Shao Liang had learned the swordsmanship of the Sorcerer's training through the channels of the Golden Horse Hall. Furthermore, he had already started to train in the techniques of the Sorcerer Hall.
Last night, the Sorcerer was assassinated, causing the imperial guards to lose all face. When Guan Yue Shan crossed paths with the butcher, he already knew what had happened last night, so how could he dare to slack off?
Seeing the Sorcerer's longsword dancing like a flower, Guan Yueshan's face was filled with admiration. This was truly worthy of a martial arts champion. His swordsmanship was truly amazing.
"Commander Guan, please don't come down and play." The Sorcerer suddenly shouted, and a long sword came piercing over.
Guan Yueshan laughed out loud, "Since the lord wants to test the general's skills at the end of the school, then I will accompany you."
Guan Yue Shan's thoughts were clear as he immediately understood the Sorcerer's meaning. He immediately unsheathed a large blade and fought with the Sorcerer.
The two of them exchanged more than ten moves in the arena. The Sorcerer's sword technique was truly not bad. It had actually suppressed Guan Yue Shan's blade to the point where it could only defend. All of the surrounding guards cried out in alarm.
"What great martial arts, he is indeed worthy of being the martial arts champion." He looked back and saw a martial general standing there. This martial general was only around 27 or 28 years old and was quite handsome. However, as the Sorcerer saw this, his heart sank.
"You are?" The Sorcerer pretended to ask, secretly being vigilant in his heart.
The Sorcerer had Ma Shaoliang's memories, so he immediately recognized this person as the leader of the younger generation of the Ma Family. The third young master of the Ma Family, Ma Wenliang, had entered the Great Yong Empire's Tongzhou camp a few years ago.
"I am Xu Wenliang, a deputy general of Tongzhou, reporting to you on orders." Ma Wenliang said with a smile, but there was something else in his eyes.
When the Ma family members came out, they all used their assumed names. To Ma Wenliang, the Sorcerer was just a subordinate, so he naturally wouldn't bow to them.
"So it's General Xu. I wonder what is the purpose of your report for coming here?" The Sorcerer pretended not to understand. There was the army of the imperial guards here, so he naturally didn't need to be polite with this cheap third brother. It was better to enter into a play when acting.
Ma Wenliang smiled and said, "I heard that you were assassinated last night. Our general was furious, so he sent me to take over the city's defense and tidy it up."
Not good, the Sorcerer thought. The plans of Tongzhou Golden Horse Hall weren't like this. Could it be?
The Sorcerer was slightly surprised by Ma Wenliang's arrival. He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll have to wait in the living room for a moment. Allow me to wash up."
Ma Wenliang didn't think much of it. His gaze swept across the imperial guards as he nodded to Guan Yue Shan, then turned around and left.
"Damn, what is that thing? It's actually so arrogant." Guan Yue Shan's thick eyebrows rose, his face filled with displeasure.
This guy wasn't someone who would settle down in the capital. Ma Wenliang's attitude made him unhappy.
"Uncle Dong, what's going on?" While washing up, the Sorcerer asked what Ma Wenliang's sudden arrival made him realize.
"Young master, this is the hall master's decision. It would be difficult for the young master to control Tongzhou City alone. That's why he allowed the third young master to come out of the camp and control the military." Uncle Dong said in a pleasant tone.
This matter was actually suggested by him and Xing Ping. Since the Golden Horse Hall was able to make adjustments overnight, it could be considered important for Ma Wenliang, who was originally developing in the military, to step in. Of course, there were naturally other factors.
When the Sorcerer heard this, he immediately knew that this old man knew about it. There were probably a lot of tricks involved, so he inwardly laughed.
Ma Wenliang's arrival might have been a threat to Ma Shao Liang, but it was an opportunity for the Sorcerer.
"If that's the case, that's fine too. Let's go, Uncle Dong. Follow me to meet my third brother." The Sorcerer smiled. Seeing this, Uncle Dong was a bit surprised. This Thirteenth Young Master, when did he have such a good heart?
Ma Wenliang was sitting upright on a chair in the living room of the Thorny Prefecture. His eyes were constantly sizing up the manor, but to Ma Wenliang, who had come out of the Golden Horse Hall, the layout of the manor was not enough for him to care about.
However, the people of the Golden Horse Hall could not help but feel pleased with themselves for being able to sit openly in the important manor of the Great Yong Empire.
"Old Thirteen, your age is the only advantage, otherwise, it would not be your turn to be the history of the whole continent." Marvin mocked in his conscience.
If Ma Shao Liang's soul was aware of this, his cheeks would probably be covered in tears. But Ma Shao Liang was still suffering from soul devouring because of the Reincarnation Seal. How could he take advantage of this?
"Third brother, why are you here?" The Sorcerer smiled as he approached the living room, waved his hands, and said.
As for Ma Wenliang, the Sorcerer knew from Ma Shaoliang's memories that this guy was a big shot in the Ma family. He had been hiding in the encampment for a long time, and was favored by General Liang Xi Yuan.
Liang Xi Yuan was not from the Golden Horse Hall, and he had never shown mercy to the people from the Golden Horse Hall. For Ma Wen Liang to be able to rise up so high under the noses of such a ruthless character, one could imagine his scheming and ability.
"Thirteenth Brother, let's go with our current identities. Otherwise, if something bad happens, you and I won't be able to take responsibility." Ma Wenliang enjoyed Ma Shao Liang's attitude, but his face sank.
The Sorcerer secretly cursed in his stomach and immediately raised his head.
"Vice General Xu, I've made you wait for a long time. Have you printed a letter on the general's behalf?"
Ma Wenliang never expected the Sorcerer to turn hostile so quickly. Just a moment ago, he was still yelling at his big brother. Now that he said it, he immediately put on airs. Who was he showing this to?
Since this was his request, Ma Wenliang had no choice but to accept it.
In terms of rank, the Legendary Witch God was only half a grade lower than his boss, Liang Xi Yuan. He was looking for trouble and could only pretend to be serious.
"Reporting to the Lord, this is the defensive seal given by the General. From today onwards, my soldiers will take over the defense of Tongzhou City. They will definitely not let those bandits mess around." Ma Wenliang took out an official letter with a serious expression.
"If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you, Vice General Xu." The Sorcerer took the letter and immediately laughed. The Golden Horse Hall was getting impatient.
Uncle Dong and Xing Jing watched on from the side as the two smoothly crossed each other, their eyes filled with excitement. The Gold Horse Hall had sunk into depravity for almost a hundred years.
Ma Wenliang received the order from the Sorcerer and went to clean up the troops in Tongzhou City. The Sorcerer glanced at Uncle Dong and Xing Ping, his face not smiling at all as he asked. "Uncle Dong, Grand Master, what should we do next?"
Uncle Dong and Xing Ping's eyebrows rose. Seeing that the Sorcerer God was unhappy, they could only smile bitterly.
"Young Lord, we were in too much of a hurry. It's just that now that the Lee Guards have left, it's time for the city guards to take over. Plus, you were also assassinated, that's why." Uncle Dong explained.
In the end, even though the two of them were old enough, they couldn't openly go against the Sorcerer.
"Humph, I hope there won't be a next time." The Sorcerer's face darkened as he expressed his dissatisfaction. In his heart, he was calculating. With Ma Wenliang's appearance, things seemed to become more and more interesting.
