The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 25 Shadow
I gave Ma Xiao a look, let you take a look and feast your eyes.Under Ma Xiao's solemn face and serious eyes, Changsun Ji assembled these loose parts together to form something similar to a bamboo tube.

After gesticulating twice, he took it apart little by little.Then it was assembled and then disassembled, and it was repeated four or five times before it was installed.

Looking at Ma Xiao with a suppressed smile on his face, Changsun Ji coughed dryly twice: "Look at what you look like, I'm afraid you won't be able to see clearly, you won't be able to learn it, and you will disassemble it repeatedly. You don't understand my painstaking efforts at all. "

But I was relieved in my heart, I finally pretended to be done, and I almost lost my old face.

Changsun Ji played with the object in his hand a few times, kicked Ma Xiao who was blushing, and scolded with a smile: "You dog slave, dare to laugh at me. This time, I will let you see how powerful I am."

After all, Changsun Ji pointed one end of the thing in his hand at a big tree outside, flipped the butterfly piece on the other end, and shot an arrow from the bamboo tube under Ma Xiao's dumbfounded, and it was instantly nailed to the big tree in the yard. tree.The arrowhead had already penetrated deep into the wood, leaving only half of the shaft dangling from side to side.

Turning around and looking at Ma Xiao, who was already speechless in shock, Changsun Ji said with some complacency, "How about this little thing, my lord, you can still catch your eyes!"

"Ahem, sir, you are amazing." Ma Xiao admired.

"You will also say that you are amazing. If you have nothing to do, learn from Zizhu and learn to flatter me. If you make me happy, won't you get a reward?" Changsun Ji gave Ma Xiao a white look, speechless road.

Knowing that wanting Ma Xiao to boast about himself is more difficult than killing him.Changsun Ji no longer made things difficult for him.

He took out 100 taels of silver from his bosom, handed it to Ma Xiao and said, "This is called the Plum Blossom Sleeve Arrow, which can shoot six arrows in a row. After installing it, put it in the sleeve and use it as a sneak attack. It will definitely not work well. You can see clearly how you installed it just now." Yet?"

Seeing Ma Xiao nodded, Changsun Ji said again: "That's good, go and build a set according to the blueprint I gave you before, and install it for yourself. It will be dangerous for you to follow me in the future. Don't hang up at that time, I won't give it to you." You dig holes."

Ma Xiao didn't reach out to take it, but just bowed his head in silence.

"What's the matter?" Changsun Ji asked, feeling something was wrong.

Hearing Changsun Ji's question, Ma Xiao knelt down on one knee with a "thump", cupped his hands and said, "I would rather not have this reward, as long as you can let me follow you all the time in the future. This servant knows that you despise me for my low skill." , but the servant is rough-skinned and thick-skinned, at least he can block a few knives at critical moments."

Hearing what Ma Xiao said, Changsun Ji was taken aback and smiled.He knew what Ma Xiao meant. The last time he was assassinated, he didn't let Ma Xiao follow, and he was left with many scars.Made this guy feel guilty.

"Didn't I say that? You and I don't need to be called slaves. Well, get up!" Changsun Ji waved his hand to signal Ma Xiao to stand up.

"Young Master, Ma Xiao is stupid, but he is not a person who does not know what is good or bad. Ma Xiao always remembers how the Marquis and the son have treated Ma Xiao these years. If the son has good or bad things in the future, how can Ma Xiao be worthy of the Marquis?" .”

"Yo, you stubborn donkey, you are really stubborn." Changsun Ji scolded with a smile.

Afterwards, the smile on his face gradually withdrew, and he looked at Ma Xiao seriously and said, "Ma Xiao, raise your head and look at me. Let me ask you, are you really willing to die for me?"

Ma Xiao looked up at Changsun Ji firmly.Then, he knelt on the ground with the other bent knee, pressed his hands to the ground, and knocked his forehead heavily.Looking up at Changsun Ji, he said, "If you say something insincerely, I hope ten thousand arrows will pierce your heart and die."

"Well, you come with me." After Changsun Ji said, he went straight to the back of the table, picked up a pen and dipped in ink, and began to write on the rice paper.

After putting down the pen, Changsun Ji put down the brush in his hand, picked up the rice paper on the table, and blew on it.Put it back on the table, waved to Ma Xiao, motioned him to come over.

"This is an exercise called "Whale Swallowing". This exercise is really overbearing. After practicing, it can swallow the power of heaven and earth like a deep-sea giant whale opening its mouth to absorb water. The speed of practice is three times that of ordinary exercises. It can be as high as six times. And the internal energy is yin and cold, and those with internal energy will die within three days if there is no extremely yang thing."

"Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Such a large amount of power from heaven and earth will not only cause the danger of shattering the meridians when entering the body, but also overload the dantian and qi apertures. Over time, it will have extreme effects on the human body. Great damage. It will also cause great pain during cultivation.”

"You and I grew up together. If you didn't say what you said today, I wouldn't take it out. But now, I won't force you. It's up to you to cultivate or not."

After speaking, Changsun Ji looked at Ma Xiao at the side, waiting for him to make a decision.

"I practice"

"You have to think about it, don't be so anxious to answer me." Seeing Ma Xiao's straightforward answer, Changsun Ji persuaded.

"My lord, you don't need to say too much. I, Ma Xiao, am the one who seeks to change. Given this opportunity in front of me, why should I let it go? I will practice." Ma Xiao said firmly from the side.

"Okay, take it! Remember it and burn it. Take the 100 taels of silver too." Changsun Ji handed the rice paper and silver to Ma Xiao.

After he caught it, he added another sentence. "Don't tell anyone else."

"Then Lord..."

"I'm talking about him." Changsun Ji interrupted.

"Ma Xiao, you have to remember that he is him and I am me. When one day, our orders conflict, who do you want to listen to. I hope that when I see you next time, you have already done what I want Answer. Otherwise, you don't want to stay in Pengyuan, I will let my father arrange you to another place."

Whether it is Ma Xiao or Zizhu, Changsun Ji is actually not worried about their loyalty.When dealing with outsiders, they will never disclose their information.But both of them were brought up by the Hou Mansion when they were young, and subconsciously they would regard the eldest grandson Lianyi as the second master.

When Changsun Lianyi asked, most of them would answer that this was unacceptable to Changsun Ji.

So now Changsun Ji wants to change their minds. There is only one master of them, and that is him.Now or in the future, it can only be him.Whether it was the last time Dianguanjiayi wrote to warn Zizhu or this time to warn Ma Xiao, it was for this purpose.

He does not allow his subordinates to have a second master, even if that person is his father.The experience of the previous life has always left a shadow in his heart.As much as he hates to admit it, it influences every decision he makes, moment by moment.

"Yes, son." Sensing Changsun Ji's mood changes.Ma Xiao nodded.

"Go back."

Ma Xiao slowly exited the room with the paper and money.Then, close the door.

This exercise was taken out of the kit some time ago, and Sun Ji has figured out the rules of the kit after a long time of this month.
