"I guess your second uncle must have been coveting the position of ruler of the palace for a long time. Ling Dingtian took a fancy to this and was able to convince him to join forces with him."
Although Wang Qi'an couldn't bear it, he had to tell this possible fact.
Sima Chang also knew in his heart that at present, this may be the only reason that can be explained.
"Brother Sima is not going back to Hangzhou, but he already knows that the Mosasaurus Gang has set up a trap on your way back." Wang Qian asked.
"Of course they won't let me go back to Hangzhou easily, but that's not the main reason why I took a detour here."
"After leaving Boluo and trekking all the way, my injuries kept coming back and forth, and I still didn't get better after entering Nanchu. I remembered that Uncle Su had the holy healing medicine hidden here, so I transferred to Changsha for treatment."
"Of course, there is another purpose. I want to ask someone to help me." Sima Chang explained.
"Anyone who can be appreciated and invited by Brother Sima must be extraordinary." Wang Qi'an said.
"This person's name is Ma Xiyun. He is a clan member of the royal family of the Chu State. He inherited the title of Marquis. He only enjoys sex and enjoys life freely. He does not hold any official position or care about government affairs."
"He visited famous people all over the world. When he came to Hangzhou, he visited his house and stayed for several days.
Although we have only known each other for a short time, our temperaments are very similar and we have a lot of fun talking. He was also very attracted to Jing'er. "
"This time, it seems that the Mosasaurus Gang has many hidden conspiracies. If I can get their help, I will be more confident in dealing with it." Sima Chang said.
Wang Qian thought that was the case.
"Then did this person agree to Brother Sima?" he asked with concern.
"Unfortunately, he went on a long trip and has not returned yet. I've visited him many times, but it's just a matter of time." Sima Chang said with a wry smile.
"I originally wanted to wait a few more days, but now it seems that Changsha Mansion may not be able to stay any longer." He then said helplessly.
"Well, your uncle and Ling Dingtian must be on their way here. The sooner we leave, the better." Wang Qian nodded in agreement.
"It's just that if I leave rashly, I'm worried that they won't be able to find me and it will be detrimental to Uncle Su." Sima Chang said worriedly.
"Brother Sima, don't worry about this, I have a solution." Wang Qi'an said confidently.
Phoenix Pavilion, with its triple wooden structure and classical and elegant carvings, is the most famous restaurant in Changsha Prefecture.
High-ranking officials, nobles, celebrities, and elegant people all regard this place as their first choice for banquets.
It was dinner time now, and the entire hall on the second floor of Phoenix Pavilion was packed.
There was a lot of people and a lot of noise.
"You little thief, how dare you steal from me. Do you know who it is?" Suddenly, a strong and high-pitched voice sounded in the hall, clear and loud, covering up the noise.
The entire second floor fell silent instantly.
"I am Sima Chang, the eldest princess of the Sima Mansion, the richest man in Hangzhou City. I will leave here overnight after dinner. You little thief, please return my things quickly." The strong and high-pitched voice sounded again.
It turned out that someone had encountered a thief.
Then I saw two figures chasing each other on the second floor.
There was a sound of overturning tables and broken dishes, followed by a group of curses.
These two people were Wang Qian and Sima Chang.
The two fought for a while, and Wang Qi'an pretended to be defeated and jumped out of the window to escape.
Sima Chang cursed, settled the bill with Sima Jing and left.
They showed up openly in this bustling place just to stage a farce and attract the attention of the Mosasaurus Gang's spies in the city.
Sima Chang left Phoenix Pavilion and drove out of the city in full view of everyone. Someone must inform Ling Dingtian.
Then naturally no one would embarrass Su Botao and ask about Sima Chang's whereabouts.
The three met again outside the city.
"Now the Mosasaurus Gang should have received the news that Brother Sima has left the city. Fortunately, Mr. Su only suffered superficial injuries, so we can move him to another place to avoid the limelight." Wang Qi'an said.
"Brother Wang is smart. In this way, Uncle Su should be safe." Sima Chang nodded and praised.
"Will they catch up soon?" Sima Jing worried as her whereabouts were exposed.
"This is the Chu Kingdom. It will probably take some time for the Mosasaurus Gang to mobilize manpower." Wang Qi'an said.
"Brother Chang, please stay!" The three of them had just walked not far when they heard someone calling from behind.
The enemy won't come so fast, right?
The three of them reined in their reins and turned around to see several horses galloping towards them.
"It's Ma Xiyun." Sima Chang said in surprise after seeing the leader clearly.
"I heard that Brother Sima appeared in Phoenix Pavilion as soon as I entered the city, so I turned around and came here in a hurry. Fortunately, I arrived in time."
Ma Xiyun, tired of the journey, said excitedly, glanced at Sima Jing, and nodded.
This man is wearing a purple warrior uniform, with a long sword at his waist, a tall and straight figure, and a handsome face.
His eyes are like stars, shining brightly, showing that his skills are not weak.
It is true that the dragon and the phoenix among people are very attractive, Wang Qi said peacefully.
"Greetings to the Marquis." Sima Chang respectfully bowed his hands.
"Brother Sima, didn't we agree that we should only be in harmony with each other in the Jianghu way." Ma Xiyun said pretending to be angry.
"I was negligent, I hope you can forgive me, Brother Yun." Sima Chang said with a smile.
"Brother Chang, why don't you stay in Changsha for a little longer and let me fulfill my duties as a landlord? I think I'll have plenty to eat and drink in your mansion that day."
The two sides introduced each other, Ma Xiyun said, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Wang Qian a few times.
"Brother Ma, please take a step to speak." Sima Chang regained his composure, and the two of them walked aside and started whispering.
Wang Qi'an naturally knew what they were discussing and didn't care. Instead, he asked Sima Jing about the situation around Hangzhou City.
After the two came back, Ma Xiyun saw a strange look in his eyes when he saw Sima Jing and Wang Qi'an chatting happily.
He turned to the people accompanying him and whispered a few words.
Then he turned back to Sima Chang and said:
"Brother Chang, let's go on the road first. They will come to meet up after they have made arrangements for their return to the city."
Unexpectedly, Wang Qi'an was a little surprised that he agreed to help so readily.
Ma Xiyun was the most familiar with the surrounding areas of Changsha. After he planned the route, the four of them set off again.
I heard Sima Chang's words before and knew that Ma Xiyun was interested in his sister.
Along the way, Wang Qi'an avoided getting too close to Sima Jing.
Ma Xiyun never missed the opportunity to show his courtesy.
But Sima Jing was a little polite to him.
"After turning this mountain col, you will see Liuyang City in front of you, which is the fortress guarding the western border of Chu. Passing through it will lead to the border of Nanwu."
"Miss Jing has a delicate body and is too tired from traveling all night. I still have some power in the city, so I can rest assured and rest for the night." Ma Xiyun suggested.
Wang Qi'an and the two saw that Sima Jing was indeed tired, so they had no objection.
"Do you want to leave peacefully after killing someone?" A voice came from the hill next to the road.
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures appeared on the top of the hill and ran down quickly. They were immediately stopped in front of Wang Qi'an and the others.
The clothes are one red and three yellow, and there are two crosses on the arms.
"If you all just surrender, you may suffer less." The fifty-year-old man in red had double hooks on his back and said coldly as he glanced at the three praying people.
"How dare you speak so arrogantly in our territory of Da Chu? When I don't want to kill anyone, you can get as far away as you can."
Ma Xiyun galloped forward and shouted angrily.
