At this moment, the door of the secret office suddenly opened, and two women walked in, one of whom said: "Of course it is possible, with an excellent man like Ma Xiaoquan, which woman can let him go?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at the door.

It turned out to be the clear snow in the east and the snow in the north.

"Sister Qingxue, Sister Beiming, you" Li Qinghan looked at the second daughter in surprise.

Dongfang Qingxue said: "Sister Qinghan, in fact, we already knew~"

Bei Mingxue also nodded: "Yes, yes, when Sister Qinghan and Grandma whispered, we knew it~"

"You guys"

Dongfang Qingxue explained: "I'm sorry Sister Qinghan, the two of us are really worried, so we did some eavesdropping~~ Use this" Dongfang Qingxue said, taking out two small wooden cups, the base of the wooden cups was chiseled through a small hole, and a knot was tied to the small hole.

"This" Ma Xiaoquan saw the small wooden cup and said with a wry smile, "You two are really smart, I just said it casually, I didn't expect you to make it with your heart." ”

Bei Mingxue pouted and said: "Ma Xiaoquan, you bad guy, don't tell us such an important thing, do you still treat us as outsiders?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan glanced at each other, and the latter also shook his head again and again.

"Uh~~ No, no, I didn't deliberately hide it, it's just that the recent things are really complicated, well, since you already know, then you two will go with me."

"We?" Dongfang Qingxue and Beiyingxue were stunned and looked at Li Qinghan.

Li Qinghan smiled and nodded: "It's okay, Sister Qingxue, Sister Beiming, Ma Xiaoquan, this bad guy will be entrusted to the two of you, along the way, you two have to watch him closely." ”

"Well~ don't worry, Sister Qinghan, we must be optimistic about this bad guy~"

Ma Xiaoquan: ""

The next day, Ma Xiaoquan and the others got up very early.

Since Ma Xiaoquan could not appear in Beijing City and could not appear at Ma's house, so early in the morning, Li Qinghan instructed Remnant Xin to go to Ma's house to report to Mrs. Ma's and ask to prepare a few good horses.

At noon, the horses were in place, and Ma Xiaoquan stepped on the horse and bid farewell to Li Qinghan.

Li Qinghan looked at Ma Xiaoquan without saying a word, Ma Xiaoquan looked sad, but he didn't dare to sensationalize anymore, so he comforted: "Qinghan, my fire god Niangniang, I'm not going to fight, why are you crying?" ”

Li Qinghan raised his head, looked at Ma Xiaoquan, and whispered: "I don't want to, but I"

Ma Xiaoquan jumped off the horse and hugged Li Qinghan: "Don't worry, I'll go back as soon as I go, and I won't come back all the time." ”

Li Qinghan shook his head: "No, no, because of me"

"Okay, obedient, obedient, everything is fine, everything is fine~hehe~~" Ma Xiaoquan said, jumped on the horse again, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the horse neighed softly and walked forward.

"Sister Qinghan, then let's go~~" Oriental Qingxue and North Stygian Snow Road.

"Hmm, okay, be more careful on the road~"

"Hmm~ Don't worry, sister, if you have the heart to go with you, it's definitely no problem."

Li Qinghan nodded, looked at the backs of a few people who were far away, and muttered: "Ma Xiaoquan, I want to say that it's not that I want to cry deliberately, but because of the child in my belly."

Three days later, Ma Xiaoquan and his party came to a small town.

This town is not too far from Beijing, but the road is not easy to walk, and the snow in the north is suddenly a little uncomfortable, so Ma Xiaoquan delayed for some time.

The town is not very big, but there are many residents.

Ma Xiaoquan and his family entered an inn in a small town, bought some necessities on the road, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Due to the inconveniences of the three of them, they all changed their appearances, Ma Xiaoquan disguised himself as a bearded man, while Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingxue dressed up as ordinary horseman women, and as for the follower's heart, they did not make any changes in appearance.

Ma Xiaoquan lived in one room with Remnant Heart, Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingxue lived in one room, and they slept very peacefully this night.

The next day, Ma Xiaoquan instructed Remnant to go downstairs to settle the bill, but who expected that Remnant would not come back after a quarter of an hour.

"Could it be that I can't speak because of my broken heart, it's not very convenient?" Ma Xiaoquan wanted to ask for it, so he had to go downstairs to see the situation in person.

In front of the counter downstairs, the remnants covered their burdens and looked at the shopkeeper, as if something unpleasant had happened before.

"What's wrong?" Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and gestured to ask the broken heart.

Remnant Xin freed up a hand and gestured: "Master, there is something wrong with this shopkeeper." ”

Ma Xiaoquan gestured: "What's wrong?" ”

"I was about to settle the bill just now, but I noticed that his eyes kept glancing around."

"Hmm~~" Ma Xiaoquan nodded, and said to the shopkeeper with a smile, "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry, I can't speak, and I'm relatively timid."

The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Where is it, I'll just say, you are looking at me with a burden, and you look at me a little strangely." ”

"I'm sorry, hehe, by the way, the shopkeeper, two upper rooms, one night, how much is it?" Ma Xiaoquan took the burden from the handsome hand, reached into the bag and touched the money to pay the room fee.

"Two taels of silver~" The shopkeeper's eyebrows raised and stretched out two fingers.

"Two taels of silver?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned, although this inn is clean, it definitely can't reach the level of two taels of silver a night, what is the concept of two taels of silver? This is a month's ration for an ordinary family of three.

"Yes, two taels of silver, what? Childe thinks it's too much? ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Oh, it's indeed a bit much, shopkeeper, your small inn doesn't seem to be able to meet the standard of charging two taels of silver a night, right?" ”

The shopkeeper's face changed, and he snorted coldly: "Can't reach it? If you can't reach it, you have to give me a good handover! ”

"Ah" Although Broken Heart can't speak, he can read the shape of a person's mouth, and when he saw the shopkeeper being such a scoundrel, Broken Heart shouted anxiously.

Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand to pull the remnant heart, and said with a smile: "Two taels, well, okay, two taels are two taels." As he spoke, Ma Xiaoquan took out two pieces of broken silver from his baggage and threw them on the counter.

The shopkeeper was stunned, but he still put away the broken silver on the counter.

Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, and after Dongfang Qingxue and Beimingxue finished packing up and went downstairs to meet, several people went out of the inn together.

At the door of the inn, the stableman had already pulled the horses to the door, and when he saw Ma Xiaoquan and a few people coming out, the stableman hurriedly greeted him.
