Chapter 257

Zhang Xiaohua was guarding the horses by himself, but he released his spiritual sense to observe the movements in the tea shed. He was now proficient in using his spiritual sense, so he was able to multitask. His eyes were watching, his spiritual sense was scanning, and his hands were constantly absorbing Yuan Qi without any delay.

Suddenly, the horses that were eating grass, neighed loudly, and all of them moved back a few steps. Zhang Xiaohua was shocked, he quickly went forward, grabbed the reins, and comforted the frightened horses. Then he looked carefully, the place where the horses were eating grass was next to the field, and a mouse suddenly came out from the mouse hole in the field, scaring the horses.

Zhang Xiaohua's mind flashed, he seemed to have thought of something.

At this time, Ying Fei ran out of the tea shed, and asked what happened. Zhang Xiaohua said expressionlessly, Ying Fei smiled and said, "Very good, Ren Xiaoyao, take good care of the horses, I will let you suffer less tonight."

Then he turned around and went back into the tea shed.

Zhang Xiaohua spat at Ying Fei's back, and stood there quietly, he withdrew his spiritual sense, and no longer absorbed Yuan Qi, he only focused on the thought that just flashed through his mind.

Field, mouse, mouse hole, what did this make him think of?

Looking at the small mouse hole, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly understood, isn't this the Earth Escape!

This is the Earth Escape!

Although he didn't know what the Earth Escape was, but from the name, it seemed to be digging a hole in the ground to escape. If he could really dig a hole in the ground and escape from there, even with Lord Qin's martial arts, he might not be able to find him!

Hahaha, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but want to laugh, but his laughter stopped abruptly, because he thought that the hole was so easy to dig, if he had a hoe, he could do it, but how could he dig a hole in front of Lord Qin?

And this mysterious jade stone recorded the Earth Escape Technique, was it to teach him how to dig a hole better with a hoe?

So, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't wait to recall the incantation of the Earth Escape Technique, and carefully studied it.

In the tea shed, Ying Fei whispered to Lord Qin about the matter.

Lord Qin nodded and said to Kong Rang, "What problem do you have that you need help with?"

Kong Rang cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, may I sit down and talk?"

Lord Qin frowned slightly and nodded. Kong Rang sat down awkwardly and said, "It's embarrassing to talk about this. Long story short, the three of us have a small grudge with the Five Heroes of the Xiao Clan of Nanmou Mountain. That's why we came to find Old Man Ma to mediate. However, we didn't expect that it would be his birthday. The gifts we prepared would naturally be sufficient on normal days, but as a congratulatory gift, it wouldn't be enough. Moreover, we also asked around and found out that ever since Old Man Ma became in-laws with the Alliance of Righteous Dao, the price of asking Old Man Ma to help out also increased again and again, so …"

Lord Qin smiled and said, "So you want to borrow some money from me?"

Hearing this, Kong Rang was overjoyed and said, "It's not what you think. I brought enough banknotes, but I couldn't find a suitable congratulatory gift in a short time. We can't just give you banknotes directly. We don't care about our face, but Old Man Ma does. So, if you have extra gifts, can you give some to me? Of course, I'll give you enough banknotes, and I won't let you suffer a loss."

Hearing this, Lord Qin was stunned at first, then he laughed loudly.

Seeing Lord Qin laughing, Kong Rang's face was very embarrassed. His face turned red and he said angrily, "Brother, if you don't have extra gifts or don't want to help, you can just say it. Why do you have to laugh at me like this?"

After laughing, Lord Qin said kindly, "Brother, it's not that we don't want to help you, but we really didn't prepare any gifts, so we can't say that we'll give you everything."

"Aren't you going to the Ma Mansion?" Kong Rang was very surprised and felt that he had misjudged.

Lord Qin said with interest, "Yes, we're going to the Ma Mansion, but we're not going to give birthday greetings."

Seeing this, Kong Rang kindly advised, "Brother, I see that you're also a martial artist. The Ma Family is a martial arts family in Xinji Town. If you want to visit at this time, you'd better prepare a suitable gift first. Otherwise, it'll be inappropriate if you're rejected at the door."

Lord Qin cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your reminder. We'll go to the town later. Maybe we can find something good."

Seeing that Lord Qin obviously didn't listen to his words, Kong Rang sighed and turned back to his table. Then he paid the bill and hurried out. He must have gone to look for something again.

Anyway, they were not short of money, so they might have something to their liking.

Lord Qin and Ying Fei sat for a while, then got up and left the tea shed. Seeing Zhang Xiaohua staring at the field in a daze, Lord Qin scolded, "Ren Xiaoyao, are you thinking of love?

Hurry up and bring the horse to Lord Qin. "

Zhang Xiaohua, who was studying the Earth Escape Technique, was immediately awakened. She was not angry, but untied the reins and led the horse to Lord Qin. Seeing Zhang Xiaohua obedient, Lord Qin was a little surprised. He looked at Zhang Xiaohua from head to toe and didn't seem to recognize her. Why was she so different from the person who wanted to run away two days ago?

After getting on the horse, Zhang Xiaohua was still a little dazed. She followed behind them with empty eyes. Lord Qin couldn't help but wonder, "Did she become mentally retarded after being searched by the Soul-Searching Hand? There was no such note in the ancient books of the sect."

Not to mention Lord Qin's confusion, Ying Fei led the way. The three of them walked slowly along the pipeline into Xinji Town.

Ying Fei seemed to know the location of the Ma Mansion. He didn't ask anyone and just urged the horse forward. After passing a few streets, they heard the sound of gongs and drums in the distance. There was also the sound of opera singing. It should be the liveliness of the Ma Mansion. While they were walking, they heard a few shouts behind them, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The road Zhang Xiaohua and the other two were walking on was the main road to the Ma Mansion. The Ma Mansion had already made it very spacious. It was more than enough for four horses to walk side by side. Moreover, the three of them were not walking in the center, so there was no need for them to get out of the way.

However, from afar, eight tall red horses galloped from behind. They shouted as they galloped. Even the horsewhips in their hands were mercilessly hitting the people who were a little late to get out of the way.

Zhang Xiaohua was daydreaming and thinking about the ancient words. She didn't hear the shouts behind her. Lord Qin and Ying Fei were originally arrogant people. How could they pay attention to them at this moment?

Therefore, all the people and horses on the street were sensible enough to hide on both sides of the street. This made the three people and three horses who were not blocking the road suddenly appear. The one sitting on the red horse was a handsome young man in his twenties with red lips and white teeth. He looked very arrogant. He used the horsewhip smoothly and hit people from time to time. At this moment, he saw that the three horses in front of him didn't give way to him. Although they didn't block the road, he was still angry. When he caught up to Zhang Xiaohua's side, he looked at her from the corner of his eyes. She was wearing very ordinary clothes and looked very haggard. Moreover, she looked dull. He thought that she must be a lowly servant. How could such a person not give way to him? The handsome young man was furious. He raised the horsewhip in his hand high and slapped it towards Zhang Xiaohua's face.

If it was a normal time, Zhang Xiaohua would naturally be able to dodge it. However, she was in the middle of comprehending something and didn't pay attention to what was happening around her. Just as the horsewhip was about to hit her face, a shadow appeared from the side. With a "pa" sound, the horsewhip that was lashing towards Zhang Xiaohua was entangled by another horsewhip. When the handsome young man looked over, he saw that it was the grey-haired Lord Qin in front of Zhang Xiaohua's horse.

In Lord Qin's eyes, Zhang Xiaohua was his prisoner. It was natural for him to torture her and punish her however he wanted. However, this handsome young man actually raised his horsewhip without saying anything. Naturally, he didn't put Lord Qin in his eyes. Even if you want to beat a dog, you still have to look at its master, let alone a person.

Lord Qin got angry just thinking about it. He casually wrapped the horsewhip around the handsome young man's horsewhip. Then, with a little force, the handsome young man felt a huge force pass through his arm. His hand went numb and the horsewhip in his hand was taken away. Lord Qin then shook his wrist and the horsewhip was thrown far away into a smelly ditch by the side of the road.

Seeing this, the handsome young man was furious. He pulled out a sword from his waist and was about to rush forward. The rider behind him was an old man. He hurried forward and grabbed the handsome young man's hand. He said in a low voice, "Young Master, this is already in front of Old Man Ma's mansion. Looking at the direction these three people are going, they are probably here to celebrate Old Man Ma's birthday. If you act in such a hurry, I'm afraid you will offend Old Man Ma's guests."

The handsome young man said angrily, "But they didn't make way first. They even took my horsewhip away."

The old man said, "Even so, remember this person's face first. It won't be too late to make trouble for him after the birthday celebration. If we act now, it will be hard to avoid the suspicion of slapping Old Man Ma's face. People will say that we are not sensible."

Hearing this, the handsome young man nodded. He stared at the three people fiercely and then rode forward. From the beginning to the end, Lord Qin, Ying Fei, and Zhang Xiaohua didn't even look at him. Their expressions were very indifferent.

When the handsome young man arrived in front of Ma Mansion, someone had already reported inside. A white-haired, purple-red face, hale and hearty old man personally came out to greet him. It was Old Man Ma, Ma Rulong. When the handsome young man saw the old man, he hurriedly got down from his horse and bowed, "Grandson-in-law greets Grandpa. I wish Grandpa a long life and great fortune."

Ma Rulong also quickly helped him up and said, "Grandson-in-law, no need to be so polite. We are all family. Quickly get up."

The handsome young man took the opportunity to get up and said with a smile, "I haven't seen Grandpa for a long time. Your body is even stronger. You are really old but strong."

These words were a bit unreasonable, but Ma Rulong didn't get angry. He smiled and said, "It's all because of the good things your master gave me. It made my body much healthier."

The handsome young man said again, "This time, Grandpa's birthday celebration, Master asked Grandson-in-law to bring a lot of good things. Come, housekeeper, give the gift list to Grandpa."

The old man behind him hurriedly went forward. There was a big red gift list on the ground. Ma Rulong opened it and looked. His expression changed slightly. He then passed it to the master of ceremonies at the door.

Under the handsome young man's slightly proud gaze, the master of ceremonies loudly read, "The Righteous Alliance's Qiu Xi congratulates Grandpa on his great birthday. He presents …"
