Susukino looked at the people in front of him, as if he saw an old acquaintance becoming the prime minister, and was extremely surprised.
In addition to surprise, there was also indescribable fear.
It was Ma Kui who came.
Behind Ma Kui was a monk, who looked like a servant. But those who know him will know that this monk is Murong Mao.
Susukino Rang was shocked that Ma Kui could let Murong lag behind him, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
Ma Kui walked forward carelessly, half-smiling but not smiling, "My lord, county magistrate, why don't you welcome us?"
Upon seeing this, Murong Mao also added, "This is Ma Enjun, the special envoy specially sent by the Grand Administrator. Magistrate of Huguan County, are you still not polite?"
Susukino heard this and quickly saluted, "My lord, please come in! My lord, please come in!"
Ma Kui walked into the county magistrate's house happily, and Murong Mao followed Ma Kui expressionlessly.
Why did Murong Mao follow Ma Kui? ——Murong Mao himself didn’t know.
Murong Mao only knew that Ma Kui had met his governor once, and the governor asked him to follow Ma Kui and obey his orders.
As for Ma Kui's identity, Murong Mao didn't know.
But Murong Mao felt that. My lord is originally from the Zhishan Sect. Maybe Ma Enjun is also from Jianghu?
Anyway, Murong Mao followed.
Ever since Ma Kui came to Huguan County, Susukino Rang has been curious about the identity of Ma Enjun?
When I learned Ma Kui's identity today, I almost bit my tongue.
Ma Kui sat down on his seat carelessly, yawned and asked, "Where is Chief Gu?"
Susukino's heart skipped a beat, and he asked tentatively, "I wonder what the purpose of your visit this time is?"
Ma Kui's eyes were frivolous, and he lowered his head and waved his hand, signaling Susukino to come closer.
Susukino leaned forward quickly.
Ma Kui asked with a smile, “I wonder where in Huguan County the wine has sweet fruits and vegetables...?”
Susukino nodded quickly, "Look at my memory! You are so tired from traveling and traveling, so you naturally need to have a good rest. I will go buy some wine, vegetables, and fruits right now!"
Ma Kui asked falsely, "Just a simple meal will do!"
Susukino nodded repeatedly.
Soon, all kinds of seasonal fruits, vegetables, and exotic delicacies were brought to Ma Kui.
While Ma Kui was feasting without caring about other people's opinions, he said to Susukino Rang, "I am not here for inspection in Huguan County this time. I am just here to reward you."
Susukino was not happy.
Who knows whether what Ma Kui said is true or false? He can't keep his mouth shut and Susukino just believe it, right?
Seeing that Susukino was still doubtful, Ma Kui then smiled and said, "Come on! Eat!"
After Susukino heard this, he also reluctantly started eating.
As Ma Kui said this, he sighed, "If you ask Gu Yucheng to come, you will know!"
Susukino pondered for a moment and nodded.
It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided. ——You have to face it after all.
So Susukino asked him to pull out a spiritual jade containing Gan Yuan.
Only Susukino Rang has this spiritual jade in Huguan County.
This was to prevent any emergencies, and Gu Yucheng could not deal with them in seclusion.
Susukino asked Gu Yucheng to use this spiritual jade, and Gu Yucheng immediately woke up from seclusion.
At this time, Gu Yucheng had barely subdued two strange fires and was in the process of stabilizing his cultivation.
The two strange fires are named "Chi Zun" and "Prisoner's Belly" respectively.
It's red and bright, like smoke and clouds. It's not on the list of strange fires, and it doesn't seem to have any special functions.
The prisoner's belly is slightly red, and his condition is no different from ordinary flames, but it ranks sixty-sixth on the list of strange fires. ——Because this prison belly can clear the soul and prevent monks from falling into illusions.
This magical effect alone made it rank sixty-sixth.
As for how strong the illusion-breaking effect is, it depends on the actual combat situation.
When Gu Yucheng saw Susukino summoning him, he stopped retreating and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Susukino replied cautiously, "Fuyang County sent an envoy, it's Ma Enjun. He's specifically looking for you, the lord. He said he wanted to give a reward, but I always feel it's not that simple."
When Gu Yucheng heard about this, he nodded lightly, "This matter is indeed not simple. Ma Enjun alone is very strange. - I will go over and take a look."
Soon, Gu Yucheng came to Ma Enjun.
Ma Enjun looked at Gu Yucheng below, frowning slightly, thinking, "Four-star Enlightenment, this level... is too low."
Gu Yucheng stepped forward with a smile, "Your Excellency, you are here to personally name me and want to see me. This really makes me very frightened!"
Hearing this, Ma Kui burst out laughing, "Don't be nervous! Don't be nervous! - I've already seen it, you are the backbone of Huguan County!"
Ma Kui's words immediately embarrassed Gu Yucheng and Susukino.
Neither of them knew how to answer.
Ma Kui didn't need an answer from the two of them, so he sighed to himself, "As expected! Soon after, you made great achievements in the battle of Wuyi! I was not wrong about you!"
Gu Yucheng forced a smile and said, "Thank you, sir."
Ma Kui nodded with a smile, "Do you two know why I came to Huguan County in the first place?"
How could Gu Yucheng know this? He could only ask, "I am so stupid, I don't know what your lord did in the first place...?"
for what? He, Ma Kui, was just acting on a whim, there was no reason.
But now that he wanted to coax Gu Yucheng, Ma Kui would of course have to find an excuse.
Ma Kui pretended to be deep in thought, shaking his head for a while, and finally sighed, "It's just for me, Fuyang County, to be safe and sound in the fight between the Qi and Wen families."
Ma Kui's words immediately made everyone confused.
Ma Kui then said, "Let's put it this way - you know what the Northern Governor is thinking, right?"
Gu Yucheng didn't know what Ma Kui was referring to, but he still nodded and replied, "I know! My subordinates know."
Ma Kui smiled and said, "Your Excellency supports me as the Emperor of Pilgrimage, which is naturally different from those of the three great eunuchs who support soldiers and respect themselves!"
What Ma Kui said was really explicit.
Not only is it explicit, if these words get out, they will be "plowed down" secretly by the three eunuchs like weeding.
Even Murong Mao's face looked a little ugly.
Seeing that everyone was a little restrained, Ma Kui burst out laughing, "Hahahaha! Don't panic, don't panic! We are all our own people here."
Gu Yucheng cursed in his heart, "Who are you and your own people? It's weird not to panic!"
But on the surface, Gu Yucheng still showed a teachable expression.
Ma Kui did not reveal the thoughts of everyone present, and continued, "So, when the Qi family and the Wen family came into conflict, my master, the Northern Governor, began to think about how to protect himself!"
"Because the prefect does not follow the others, he will naturally be ostracized by others. Alas! This is such a highbrow thing!" Ma Kui sighed hypocritically, not forgetting to look at Gu Yucheng after he finished speaking.
Gu Yucheng quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, yes! Poor our Lord Prefect!"
Before Gu Yucheng said anything, goosebumps spread all over the floor.
Ma Kui nodded with satisfaction, "So, the Qi family will take action against you sooner or later. You should simply join forces with the Wen family directly!"
Gu Yucheng then nodded in agreement, "Sir, you are wise!"
In his heart, what Gu Yucheng yelled was, "Ma Enjun, don't keep looking at me! Your Excellency united with the Wen family, it's completely idle! He is a royalist, and if he doesn't find other loyalist county guards alliance, why should he look for the Wen family? !”
However, Gu Yucheng did not dare to say a word of these words and could only complain repeatedly in his heart.
Ma Kui nodded, "In order to better protect yourself, you must prevent your governors from rebelling! - The biggest worry among them is the governor of Juyang Road!"
"So I thought, instead of taking precautions, it's better to cut through the mess quickly..." At this point, Ma Kui looked at Gu Yucheng.
Gu Yucheng, who was one head and two older, cursed in his heart, "Why are you looking at me again?!"
Gu Yucheng could only smile back awkwardly.
Ma Kui sighed, "What a pity. At that time, we couldn't find anyone to replace the governor of Juyang Road..."
This time, Ma Kui looked at Gu Yucheng again.
