Ma Xiaomai excitedly told his father about his experiences of the past half day. It was so wonderful and exciting from the afternoon till now. He was shaking the XL that Jian Ning gave him. This thing was a bit like his slingshot, but much more awesome than his slingshot.

"Dad, I feel like this is a bit like the hidden weapon you used last time. If I hit it on the ground, it will definitely make a big hole. Let me try it."

He raised his arm, but XL disappeared from his hand. His father's voice rang in his ears: "Alright, give it back to your master. It's not for playing with."

Wow, is his dad that quick? He didn't even see his dad make a move, and the item was gone?

He turned around and saw Jian Ning coming over with nothing in his hand. He then looked at his father's hand and saw nothing in his hand either. He scratched his head and asked, "Master, did my father give you the hidden weapon?

"Yeah." Jane Ning nodded with a smile.

Ma Xiaomai looked at his father and then at Jian Ning. These two people now gave him the feeling of being gods. He didn't know which one to admire.

Never mind, he admires both of them.

One is his father and the other is his master, both of them are equally powerful.

Ma Xiaomai was overwhelmed with happiness. He hadn't expected his master to come and save him first, and then his father would show up with his men. Furthermore, his father was holding the same hidden weapon as his master. He couldn't describe the feeling he had when he saw his father and his master fighting the enemy back to back. It was just so exciting and satisfying.

Of course, the most exciting and enjoyable thing is the feeling of being protected by two awesome people at the same time.

"Are you going back to the county government office or going back with us?" Jian Ning asked Ma Fuquan, and then glanced sideways at Captain Guan and several yamen runners who were still cleaning up the battlefield. Under Ma Fuquan's cover, she had already injected serum and fed them pills with spiritual spring water for those constables and yamen runners who were hit by Luo Junxian's poison needle. Captain Guan was asking them if they felt better.

"Let's go back together. Now that things are done here, I'll go say hello to Lao Guan and then we'll go back." Ma Fuquan was about to go over when he was stopped by Huo Jincheng.

"Brother Ma." Huo Jincheng came over with Ah Man in his arms and naturally put Ah Man into Jian Ning's arms. He made a gesture of invitation to Ma Fuquan and called Ma Fuquan aside and said, "Brother Ma, you have such excellent skills. Have you ever thought that being a constable is a waste of your talent? Why don't you come to our Dingzihao and be the second in command? How about following me from now on?"

Huo Jincheng could mobilize people from the government and even the city defense troops. The captain of the city gate who led the team was more respectful to him than to County Magistrate He. Ma Fuquan naturally knew that he was not a simple person. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I am only a constable, but if you can use me in the future, I will do my best."

Ma Fuquan heard Tian talking about how Huo Jincheng had given them silver and many other things, so he mentioned it again and thanked him again.

"Not worth mentioning, it's as it should be." Huo Jincheng felt extremely sorry that he was unwilling to follow him, and the feeling Ma Fuquan gave him seemed to be different from last time. As for what was different, he couldn't tell, but in short, he was a rare talent.

Although everyone has their own ambitions, Huo Jincheng still wanted to fight for it, especially when he thought about the hidden weapons he and Jian Ning used... right? If this hidden weapon could be used in the Dayan Kingdom's military camp, and every soldier had one, then from now on, there would be no need to fear foreign invasions.

It is good enough that they do not annex or invade other countries.

"Brother Ma, don't be so hasty to say anything final. If you really don't want to help me, I won't force you. I just hope that Brother Ma can think it over carefully."

"You are too kind, sir. I have said that as long as you can use me, I will do my best. How could I not be willing to lend you a hand?" Ma Fuquan knew that he could mobilize people in the government, so he just had to express his meaning. He glanced at Jian Ning.

Seeing him looking over, Jian Ning understood that he didn't want to communicate with Huo Jincheng anymore, so she shouted at him, "Hey! We're leaving soon. Do you want Ah Man to come with you, or do you want me to take her back? If you want me to take her back, you should take advantage of this time to spend more time talking to your daughter."

How can you be a father? Jane Ning rolled her eyes at him.

This woman, does he have no name or surname? How dare she glare at him? He just did a big business with her, can't she give him a good face?

Demolish the bridge after crossing it.

He stepped forward and took the smiling Ah Man from her hands. He pinched her little cheeks and smiled at his daughter. Even his voice softened as he spoke. "My dear, my father is busy and can't take you with him. How about you go to your aunt's house later? There are brothers and sisters at her house who can keep her company. I'll pick you up right after I'm done with my work. Okay?"

Look at what he said, she's still your aunt. Jian Ning couldn't help but roll her eyes at him again. She only helped him take care of Ah Man because she was a good disciple, but why did he make it seem like their two families had a very close relationship, like they were relatives.

Jian Ning thought Ah Man would refuse. After all, the little girl made a fuss for a long time before she could see her father. How could she be willing to be separated so soon?

Unexpectedly...

Ah Man put his arm around Huo Jincheng's neck and nodded cheerfully, his voice quite cheerful: "Okay, Man'er will listen to Daddy. Daddy must come pick Man'er up early."

The twenty or so people from Dingzihao hadn't left yet. Huo Ye came over with his horse. He hadn't expected that the person he saw today was actually his young lady. He smiled and said to Ah Man, "Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely come to pick you up as soon as I finish my work."

Huo Jincheng just wanted to push Ah Man to Jian Ning's hands, but Ah Man took the initiative to throw herself into Jian Ning's arms, her little mouth was quite sweet, "Auntie~"

I really owe you and your daughter!

Jian Ning embraced her resignedly, thinking of Huo Jincheng's identity and background, and then thought of the silver fox fur that was sold at a loss for five taels of silver. She thought it was a great deal at the time and thought she had made a fortune, but in fact she had lost everything.

However, when she thought of the silver, she suddenly remembered those night pearls. According to the rules of her previous life, these had to be handed over. She couldn't help but look at Ma Fuquan.

Ma Fuquan was talking to Captain Guan. Huo Jincheng jumped on his horse and prepared to take his men away. Jian Ning also picked up Ah Man and walked towards Ma Fuquan. Before she got close to him, her eyebrows suddenly twitched, and then again.

What's going on?

She looked intently. It was Feng Qingzi's whip, which she had casually thrown among the grass. For some reason, the whip began to twist and turn like a snake. The tip of the whip lashed back and forth, startling Guoguo, who was resting on the grass. She jumped up, stood upright, and stared at the whip as if it were a monster.

Jian Ning used Ah Man to block other people's sight, and she turned sideways to grab the whip from the grass. The whip seemed to come alive as soon as it was in her hand, quickly wrapped around her arm and waist. She almost subconsciously threw Ah Man towards Ma Fuquan.

As soon as she threw Ah Man out, the whip was almost wrapped around her chest. At the same time, she smelled a fishy odor in her nose. She was quick to grab the whip head.

Why is it so cold and slippery?

She was horrified and her palms tightened. She looked carefully and saw that the whip she was holding tightly in her hand had turned into a snake head with two heads, which opened its mouth and spit out a long tongue at her.
