Ma Jinggou and Bazar Batu walked into a small room. There are already many dishes on the table. Bazar Batu looked around the room, only himself and Ma Jingguo were in the room.
Ma Jingguo asked, "See anything that worth catching your eyes?"
Bazar Batu said, "I didn't see your wife, is he going to have lunch with us?"
Ma Jingguo smiled and said, "No." He picked up his chopsticks and started eating. "Shall I show you around?"
Bazar Batu said, "No... don't show me around. If you don't, I will feel better."
Ma Jingguo smiled and said, "Even if I take you around, I don't mind if you pass it to the six sectors. Soon I will invite them to a grand celebration banquet."
Bazar Batu asked, "When?"
Ma Jingguo said, "I don't know, I guess whenever I want to invite them."
Bazar Batu took out a ceramic medicine bottle and put it on the table. He said, "Zhanjin said to give this to Mu Dishi."
Ma Jingguo took the ceramic bottle and took a look, then pushed it back to Bazar Batu. He said, "Mu Dishi does not need it. He is not poison."
Bazar Batu asked, "Ma ge, Taihua wants to visit his shuzin, can you allow this?"
Ma Jingguo sighed, "Tell Taihua that he better not see his shuzin right now, because he might not be able to control his anger."
Bazar Batu said, "So, does it mean that Taihua's shuzin was tortured very badly?"
Ma Jingguo took a sip of wine, "He chose to be torture." He looked at Bazar Batu. "Don't talk about others, talk about yourself. What have you been doing in the past few years?"
Bazar Batu said, "Well, where do I start?"
Ma Jingguo smiled at Bazar Batu, "We have a whole day."
Bazar Batu said, "Well, then I will start from when we were separated at that time..."
Six men in black, led by one of the member of Sunset Sector, rushed into the complex corridor in Sunset Sector. When the six walked to the door, two guards were already standing guard.
Gu Yingjie quickly shot two needles at the two guards, and the two fell in front of the door. Zhu Mingyang and Gu Yingjie stand guard. Yongzheng, Cao Wenyan, and Yong Taihua rushed into the cell. They saw Mu Dishi lying on the straw mat, on the cold concrete floor.
Cao Wenyan pushed everyone aside and rushed downstairs to see Mu Dishi. He helped Mu Dishi to get up, and held Mu Dishi tightly inside his arms. His eyes moistened with tears, "Mu gongzi…I'm here now. I will take you out of this hell hole." He pushed Mu Dishi's hair away from Mu Dishi's face.
Mu Dishi said weakly, "Cao gongzi, let me go." He looked to the left, and Yong Taihua knelt down. "You guy need to leave now, if Jingguo knows, he will be angry."
Yong Taihua said in a rage, "Shizun, why are you still care about what that demon thinks?"
Cao Wenyan, "Carry him."
Yong Taihua picked up Mu Dishi and walked back upstairs to meet Zhu Mingyang and Gu Yingjie. The seven began to leave the corridor and walk towards the back gate.
Halfway to the back gate, Yao Huo and Hu stood there with more than twenty men waiting for them.
Yao Huo smiled and said, "Many people think that escape through the back door is the safest way. They are wronged. Do you think we will not see through your stupid plan?"
Yao Hu, "Leave Mu gongzi, or everyone died tragically."
Cao Wenyan said frantically, "Over my dead body."
Yao Huo smiled, "Alright, then you can die."
Cao Wenyan looked at Yong Taihua and said, "No matter what, Mu gongzi stay on your back."
Yong Taihua said, "Don't worry, I won't leave him behind."
Yao Hu chuckled, "Yong Taihua, you don't need to cover your face, I recognize your voice." He pointed his sword at Yong Taihua. "Why are you always breaking into our sector?"
Yao Huo, "Chief has told you that if you break into our territory again, he will cut off your legs."
Yong Taihua said, "I am not afraid of demon Ma."
Cao Wenyan said angrily, "Don't play words with them, let's go."
Cao Wenyan shot four red thread needles at Yao Hou and Yao Hu. The two brothers quickly knocked Cao Wenyan's needles away, but Gu Yingjie's flying needles caught the Yao brothers off guard and quickly backed away from the six men. Immediately afterwards, a red thread needle shot at Gu Yingjie from the left corridor, Yongzheng sprinted forward and swung his sword at the person.
Gu Yingjie quickly turned around and shouted, "Don't hurt her!" Yongzheng's sword happened to stop on Yuan Chaomie's neck. "We need her to escape here."
Yongzheng put the sword on Yuan Chaomei's neck and pushed her forward. The six men and Yuan Chaomei began to leave through the back gate of Sunset Sector.
Yongzheng looked at the Yao's bothers and said, "If someone follow us within an hour, I will kill her." He looked at the Yao brothers coldly. "Now, close the gate."
Yuan Chaomei said, "Do it. Tell chief that Yong Taihua and his men came to rescue Mu gongzi."
The Yao brothers looked coldly at Yongzheng. Yao Hu said, "Close the gate."
Yuan Chaomei said, "Go to the right. The road is not smooth, but there are no guards patrolling."
Ma Jingguo and Bazar Batu were enjoying their meal when a guard walked in. The guard said, "Report."
Bazar Batu said, "Should I leave?"
Ma Jingguo smiled and said, "No need." He looked at the guard. "What is it?"
The guard said, "Chief, Yong Taihua and four highly skilled martial artists broke into the prison cell and took Mu gongzi away."
Ma Jingguo said, "And…"
The guard said, "They held Deputy Chief Yuan as a hostage."
Ma Jingguo said, "If Deputy Chief Yuan does not return in the next hour, then prepare to annihilate Sword Village."
Guard, "Yes." The guard rushed out quickly.
Ma Jingguo continued to eat, as if Yong Taihua's rescue mission had no effect on him. Ma Jingguo looked at Bazar Batu and asked, "Why don't you eat? Is the food not to your liking?"
Bazar Batu said, "Why are you so calm? If I remember correctly, you would never let this happen?"
Ma Jingguo smiled and said, "As we grow older, we become more wise and our vision becomes broader." He continued to eat. He looked at Bazar Batu. "I'll take you out after lunch."
Bazar Batu feels deeply guilty. He slammed his chopsticks on the table. He roared wildly, "Ma ge, you should hit me or yell at me. If you do that, I...I will feel better."
Ma Jingguo looked at Bazar Batu and said, "Batu, I don't have many friends in my life, so I want to cherish any friendship as much as possible." He put down his chopsticks. "The people who I cared about either died or betrayed me. I hope I can have lunch with you today, because once the sun goes down, I will lose one friend."
Bazar Batu felt guilty, tears wet his eyes. He knew from Ma Jingguo's words that Ma Jingguo already knew that he was the bait to accompanying Ma Jingguo, so that others could rescue Mu Dishi. He stood up and said, "Ma ge, I want to leave now."
Ma Jingguo stood up and said, "Very well, I'll see you off."
Ma Jingguo and Bazar Batu stood in front of the gate. He waved to the guard, and the iron gate opened with a loud screech. Ma Jingguo said, "Batu, when you see Yong Taihua, tell him to let Yuan Chaomei go. If something happens to Yuan Chaomei..." He looked at Bazar Batu. "I will have to break my promise with Dandan."
Bazar Batu said, "I will make sure to send him your message." Bazar Batu saw Kuo Lok standing not too far away from the gate behind the arrow on the ground. He turned to look at Ma Jingguo, and he saw the sadness in Ma Jingguo's eyes. He took two steps forward, and he was ashamed of his actions. He wiped his tears and said, "Ma ge, there is an old temple in the outskirt of the village. If you are going to find your wife, now is the best time, because tomorrow morning, all of the leaders of the six sectors, four households will be here to fight against Seventy-Two Islands."
Ma Jingguo smiled and said, "Thank you."
Bazar Batu walked quickly to Kuo Lok's side, and the iron gate slowly close behind them. Bazar Batu said, "Lok gege, we have to go back quickly."
Kuo Lok asked, "Why?"
Bazar Batu, "Ma ge went mad."
Kuo Lok, "What?"
Bazar Batu said, "If my prediction is correct, Ma ge will launch an attack against the martial artists of Central Plains."
Kuo Lok, "Why do you think so?"
Bazar Batu took Kuo Lok's hand and walked down the mountain road. He said, "The sea is always calm when it prepares to unleash deadly waves."
