Twilight Boundary

"good……"

The people at the Red Lantern Club were stunned for a long time before they realized that Shopkeeper Hua had won, neatly.

All of a sudden, they stood up and cheered loudly. Even the red lanterns next to the ring seemed to be red and festive.

Up to now, nine battles have been fought, and the Red Lantern Queen will win five battles. Even if she loses in the next battle, it will be a tie. Of course, for the Red Lantern Queen, if it is really a tie in the end, she cannot accept it. , but the gang members finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the Tsing Yi Gang side, there was silence. Countless people got up and left, leaving the old man's body on the stage.

Compared to the excitement of the previous night, morale was now extremely low.

"The next round of sweet potato roasting is coming..."

Hu Ma stood up and thought to herself: "I don't know what tricks she has prepared, and how Erguotou plans to defeat her."

As he was thinking about it, he was about to go back, but unexpectedly, he saw a burst of red light walking towards him. Walking in front was a group of incense burners with their faces covered and their auras mysterious.

And in their hands, they actually held a small red lantern.

Although this lantern does not look that big, even smaller than the night watch lantern in Zhuangzi, it is full of flowers and very delicate, but the light from the lantern shines out, but it is as red as blood. With an indescribable enchanting temperament.

"This is……"

Being illuminated by this lantern, Hu Ma couldn't help but feel startled. She felt like her body was being penetrated by some kind of gaze, both inside and outside.

An instinctive sense of crisis made all the hairs on his body stand up. He suddenly felt confused and looked at the group of incense burners warily.

"I have something to ask you..."

At this time, the incense burner who was walking in the front, holding a red lantern in his hand, suddenly spoke emotionlessly, and his voice seemed to be fished out of an ice kiln.

"so……"

After listening to his words, Hu Ma suddenly realized: "Is this the empress's... true body?"

He once mentioned the red lantern with the power of the Red Lantern Queen, but he could feel that the power of both parties was not at the same level at all. He immediately made a guess, nodded hurriedly, and prepared to kneel down.

But the incense burner waved his hand lightly and said: "Forget it."

"Is your Majesty coming here to ask you a question, is it you who brought back the news that people from the Torture Soul Sect will fight on behalf of the Tsing Yi Gang?"

"..."

Hu Ma's heart was already tense, but her face could only show a more solemn expression, and she said in a deep voice: "Yes, I have truthfully reported all relevant information to the two protectors."

He didn't dare to stare directly at the red lantern, but he could feel the light of the red lantern flowing strangely, like a person's emotions.

The incense burner was silent for a long time, as if listening to the words of the Red Lantern Lady, and then suddenly increased his tone and said: "Is this news true?"

Hu Ma was already riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so he could only say: "It's true."

The strange red light of the red lantern seemed to suddenly soften, and the voice of the incense-burning disciple also became a little softer, and he said calmly: "The empress said that this matter is of great importance and must not be lost."

"If the news you brought back is true, I will reward you heavily."

"If it's fake..."

"..."

He paused briefly, then snorted coldly and said, "You don't need me to remind you, you also know the consequences."

What else could the consequences be?

Peel? cramp? Or will he turn into jelly like the demon taught by Tan'er?

Hu Ma felt really helpless, but she didn't dare to show it when she was illuminated by the red lantern, so she could only reply: "Yes."

After the incense burner said this, he picked up the lantern and walked forward. It seemed that he had finished asking the questions on behalf of the empress. But after he walked more than ten feet, the light of the red lantern turned slightly, and he suddenly stopped and turned his head. Looking at Hu Ma, there was a faint smile on his face:

"By the way, the queen said she remembers you!"

"..."

"remember me?"

Hu Ma waited until the red lantern was gone before she straightened up, feeling cold sweat soaking her back.

How could the Red Lantern Empress remember her? Could it be that time in Zhuangzi when she invited her over to deal with Tan'er Cult?

This girl has a pretty good memory!

Logically speaking, being remembered by the boss of the company is not a bad thing, but when he thought of the strange bloody light in the red lantern, Hu Ma felt faintly that his whole body was getting hairy.

Now, he understands how much the Red Lantern Empress attaches great importance to the outcome of this fight.

It stands to reason that she has an advantage now with five wins and four losses, but she doesn't want to give up at all in the last round and tries her best to win. For this reason, she doesn't hesitate to come over in person to confirm the news to herself.

However, the Red Lantern Empress personally promised in front of him that if the news was true, she would reward herself heavily. So how much does this have to weigh?

Erguotou wants to do a big job for himself, but now it looks like it’s a bit too big?

The risks have become even greater. With the Tsing Yi Gang for the last time, if it hadn't been for Sweet Potato Burning or her senior brother came up, she would have suffered a lot...

"Nephew Hu, how are you doing?"

It was also at this time that when the Red Lantern Lady was seen walking away, Manager Xu and others hurriedly came forward.

Just now, they all saw the incense burner carrying a lantern and coming to talk to Hu Ma. Unfortunately, the red lantern was shining, so they couldn't hear the sound here. However, they noticed that the incense burner had a smile on his face when he left, and they also heard the sound. The words "The Red Lantern Queen remembers you".

Doesn't that sound like a bad thing?

"It's nothing."

Hu Ma noticed their curiosity, but she didn't dare to ask in detail. She also knew that the stakes were very important, so she simply didn't say anything and just said, "Your Majesty, ask me something."

Manager Xu and others looked at each other in confusion, thinking to themselves: "How embarrassing is it that the empress comes to ask you something in person?"

But they didn't dare to ask in detail, and Hu Ma didn't dare to say anything further. She could only mumble a few words, and then hurriedly followed Manager Xu back to bed, not even caring about Yang Gong's previous appointment for a drink.

Things are a bit complicated!

Originally, I just came back with a message and worked hard, but now it seems that the empress takes it too seriously, and the risk to myself is also great.

Erguotou has indeed been convinced to bake sweet potatoes, right?

The reason why he agreed to come back earlier was because Erguotou said that he had reached an agreement with Sweet Potato Shao, but after all, he had not personally asked about Sweet Potato Shao...

Go to bed, get in touch with sweet potatoes early, and ask her personally before you can rest assured.

Before, he couldn't connect to her because of the distance, but now that there was only the last moment left, she had to rush over anyway, and he should be able to call her directly.

"Lao Baigan calls for sweet potatoes to be cooked, can you hear me?"

At night, Hu Ma entered the Benming Temple, pressed her palms on the incense burner, and called out in a low voice several times. She was a little worried, but suddenly she saw a wisp of the incense, connecting to the outside of the red mist, and the sound of burning sweet potatoes. Then it rang.

She also seemed very excited: "Senior, it turns out you are also nearby? I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to a good job."

"I came over to join in the fun."

Hu Ma hid the worries in her heart, just lowered her voice, smiled hoarsely, and said: "It seems that Erguotou has already found you. However, I heard you say earlier that I wanted to come here to win this round, but now I have to If you lose, you won’t blame me?”

"What's your fault?"

Diguashao said in surprise: "Senior Erguotou didn't tell you how many benefits he promised me?"

"I want to win this game just to gain fame and earn a fortune. Wouldn't it be better to cash it out now?"

"Let me tell you, earlier I thought about whether I should let my senior brother do it. Now it's better. I'll do it myself and please the Red Lantern Lady first."

"Maybe if we enter the Red Lantern Club in the future, will Senior Erguotou and I have to rely on you to take care of us?"

"..."

"call……"

After hearing her answer, Hu Ma finally felt relieved a little.

It seems that Mr. Erguotou is quite reliable when it comes to such important matters. If he really talks too much, he will be in trouble.

After letting go of this, he suddenly noticed the weirdness in Sweet Potato Shao's words and asked curiously: "Me?"

"Taking care of you?"

"..."

"yes……"

Di Gua Shao said mysteriously: "Senior Erguotou told me that you are a hidden master in our Red Lantern Club. Even Miss White Wine needed your help, and he was even more so. If you hadn't taken care of him, , this old life will be lost in Laoyin Mountain..."

"I'm so lucky to have met you..."

"Senior, senior, we have worked together before. In the future, if I join the Red Light Society, I will follow you..."

"..."

"I wipe it?"

Hu Ma felt a little strange for a moment: "How did Erguotou brag to her?"

"Besides, you are still a member of the Tsing Yi Gang. Why do you open your mouth and shut up about our red light club..."

"The co-author Erguotou didn't just vent the problem to you, but directly instigated your rebellion?"

"..."

"Everyone takes care of each other and survives in this world..."

Inexplicably, he became a mysterious master hidden in the red lantern society. Hu Ma is not a thin-skinned person at ordinary times, and she was a little embarrassed by the sweet potatoes.

But when he reached this point in a hurry, he could only pretend to be an expert, said something smoothly, and exited the connection.

Thinking about it, I still feel uneasy. I wanted to ask Erguotou how he negotiated with Diguashao, but unexpectedly, Erguotou also called and connected, and he smiled mischievously as soon as he opened his mouth:

"Brother, no need to thank me."

"This Sweet Potato girl is sensible and smart, and she speaks nicely. She sounds like a well-behaved and cute little junior sister!"

"We are all brothers. Don't I understand how to be your wingman?"

"..."

Hu Ma was speechless when he heard this. What is this Erguotou putting in his head every day?

Life is really so comfortable that you don’t think about other things, right?

We are different from you. We still want to be born, we still need to learn skills, and we also need to exercise our kidneys quickly...

...If you don’t practice and live here, what’s the use of meeting girls?
