This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 71 You'll be happy if you mess with our brothers
On the trade road built by Xi Chu, two gangsters wearing bamboo hats were riding their horses at full speed. One had a sinister look and the other had a scar on his face. Neither of them was easy to deal with.

There are a lot of villains like this in the world, and even more of them at the border between southern Xinjiang and western Chu, so no one cares about them.

Xiang Yuan left Fengxian County and felt that there was no difference between Southern Xinjiang and Western Chu. This was especially true of the commercial road that extended from East Street. On the road, there were either car convoys or heroes, and their clothing styles did not have any trace of Southern Xinjiang at all.

This is not surprising. Xiao He's target is not the hinterland of southern Xinjiang, and he cannot reach Dilongbao, so he cannot come into contact with the most vicious and evil people. The trade route from Dilongbao to Fengxian County has been cultivated by Western Chu for many years. Although it has not been incorporated into the territory, it has long been infiltrated and controlled by the court, and Chu people are the mainstream here.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, wise teacher..."

"Call me Big Brother!"

"I am transmitting the message, others cannot hear it."

"Call me Big Brother!"

"Brother, Master Xian came to Fengxian in his early years and set up a base in southern Xinjiang. He has spies everywhere, but people in the underworld love to betray their own people. If they can sell information to Master Xian, they can naturally sell it to others. If they meet someone who offers a high price, they may even give Master Xian the wrong information. I must verify it myself..."

Xiao He stated his purpose of coming to southern Xinjiang, and the first stop was Pingxi Village.

Most of the members of the village are from the Jiuyi tribe. They have simple customs and eat from a big pot. They like to move around a lot. As long as they are paid, they will take on any dirty or tiring work. They know a lot of people and are naturally well-informed.

Some time ago, the village underwent a dramatic change and Wang Wenxu's spy was thrown into the village jail.

Xiao He came to confirm the situation. If he could get something, he would do it. If not, he would replace him with an informant and confirm the news of Dilong Fort through this informant.

After finishing one family, there is always the next one. Even though he is a descendant of the Xiao family and works in the Imperial City Bureau, he is still a beast of burden.

Xiao He had plenty of time, one month, to make some preparations.

Just in case, Xiao He told Xiang Yuan that King Zhao's son would appear in Dongjiegou in a month, and Liu Jingsheng would go there following the smell. If the two were accidentally separated, Xiang Yuan would go directly to Dongjiegou and they would meet there.

"Since we have plenty of time, why are you in such a hurry to travel, second brother?" Xiang Yuan said in a gloomy voice.

"I've calculated that if we want to sneak into Pingxi Village, we must find someone to lead the way. I've already chosen the person. She's being hunted down. If we go too late, we won't even be able to pick up a warm person."

Xiao He replied through voice transmission, and Xiang Yuan's gloomy voice was particularly awkward: "Brother, since you are wearing a mask, why not take it off and expose your true face to make it easier for me to act. Let's play the fools this time."

You are the fool, his name is Doubi!

Xiang Yuan thought about it and realized that after listening to stand-up comedy for a month, he would eventually give in. Instead of losing his patience and releasing the funny guy, it would be better to let the funny guy go online from the beginning and keep his personality consistent.

Well, let the funny guy come out for some fresh air.

In an instant, Xiang Yuan's temperament changed drastically. The moment the funny guy came online, his gloomy face changed direction. He looked depressed and not very happy.

"Brother, why are you looking so sad?" Xiao He was overjoyed that Xiang Yuan finally stopped acting.

"Haha, I think my face is too ugly." Xiang Yuan said with a smile.

"Why are you laughing again?"

"You're uglier."

"..."

As expected of a funny guy, he easily accomplished things that a calm person couldn't do.

Xiao He felt like he was struck by lightning, and was a little uncomfortable facing Yuan's true appearance. His eyes lit up, and a plan came to his mind, which enriched the personalities of the two people on the spot.

Xiao He is responsible for being stupid, Xiang Yuan is responsible for being unhappy. These two brothers are reckless and have an average IQ of 70. They are in the awakening stage of martial arts and have some skills, but they are not too powerful.

The two of them sped along, first taking the main road and then taking the small road, which took them most of the day, and finally they stopped in front of a dilapidated temple.

"That's it."

Xiao He nodded with satisfaction and told Xiang Yuan to dismount. There was no need to look for him deliberately, as the tool man who led them into Pingxi Village would come to them on his own.

The divination method that Xiao He learned in the Tiantian Division was far less sophisticated than that of the Taoist master Quexin, and could even be said to be rigid. His algorithm was mainly passive, with only one word: "wait".

For example, this time, he received intelligence support from Wang Wenxu, knew the identity and name of the tool man, and knew that the other party was being hunted. He wanted to be a hero and save the beauty, but he couldn't calculate the specific time and place, so he could only ambush in advance in the ruined temple where the possibility of meeting was most likely.

We will act according to circumstances and find a way to connect with this line.

"Having said that, your divination method does have its merits. It's enlightening to me. For example, from these two fast horses, you predicted that someone would rob us on the road. It's so accurate. We encountered those two stupid thieves as soon as we set out on the road." Xiang Yuan said happily.

Xiao He was silent for a moment: "Brother, I didn't calculate. This is Southern Xinjiang. It's normal to encounter robbers."

"..." x2
The topic was too heavy, so Xiang Yuan held down the knife handle. Xiao He ran out of the dilapidated temple and brought firewood to build a fire.

"Second brother, what if we don't meet him?"

"Plans are not as good as changes. It's normal not to meet them. I'll think of other ways to sneak in then." Xiao He shrugged, looking a little unreliable.

The two men sat around the fire. Xiang Yuan was hungry, so he took out the steamed buns he had bought on the way and started to roast them.

"Brother, I have some fasting pills in my pocket." Xiao He said as if he was presenting a treasure.

"This is new, I haven't tasted it yet!"

Xiang Yuan rubbed his hands and asked Xiao He to take it out quickly: "To be honest, there is a question about the Bigu Pill that has troubled me for a long time. I will take a thousand pills today and see if I can last for three years."

"That's definitely not possible. I'll be stuffed to death."

Xiao He took out an oil-paper bag from the sachet and opened it, revealing six cold meatballs.

"Each ball weighs one pound and is made of meat, flour and eggs. Take three balls a day with water and you won't feel hungry for the whole day." Xiao He presented a meatball the size of a lion's head. Screw you!
When you have nothing to do, just go and pee upside down against the wall!

Xiang Yuan was so angry that his mouth was crooked. He snatched the two meatballs, roasted them, and ate them with the steamed bun.

"One more pill!"

"Big brother is huge."

While the two were acting stupid, three thin figures walked in. They looked like traveling merchants, with sallow faces and stiff features. They looked a little scary at first glance.

Seeing that No-Brain was unhappy, the thin man in the lead nodded politely, stroked his goatee, and asked his two companions to go and make a fire nearby.

Xiao He retracted his gaze, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiang Yuan, then transmitted his voice: "People are here. These three are all women. The one who nodded is Miao Manqing, the daughter of Miao Heilang, the leader of Pingxi Village. If you want to enter the village, you have to ask her for help."

Xiang Yuan remained calm and raised his hand to press on the knife: "Second brother, these three people came here in a strange way, are they secretly following us?"

"Three pieces of trash. I'll deal with them after I'm full."

The two of them were plotting loudly, and Miao Manqing was speechless. Where did these two idiots come from? If they have the courage to come and try, it’s hard to say who will be the one to deal with whom.

Miao Manqing rushed over from the direction of Dilong Fort, avoiding pursuit all the way. Not wanting to create any more trouble, she shook her head slightly at the two maids and said, "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either." It didn't matter if she left the two idiots alone.

The bonfire crackled, accompanied by the sound of Xiang Yuan grunting as he took the fasting pills. Although he looked ugly while eating, he tasted really good. Add to that the aroma of the meat heated by the fasting pills, and the steamed bun in Miao Manqing's hand became bland and tasted just like a steamed bun.

She followed suit and roasted the buns over the fire.

"Second brother, where did you buy the meatballs? They taste really good."

"I made it myself. In southern Xinjiang, anything is edible as long as it's not poisonous. It's not difficult to make a few meatballs."

"Yes, if it's not poisonous, it's food."

"Even if it's poisonous, you can eat it. It's considered a medicinal herb."

"If you say so, then everything can be eaten, right?"

"You can't eat stones, they are building materials."

As Miao Manqing listened to the two people performing crosstalk, she became even more certain that they were a pair of idiots. Seeing that they were well fed and did not come to bother her, she left them alone without paying any more attention to them.

"Jiejiejiejie————"

Hearing the laughter that indicated the villain's attack, Miao Manqing pulled out the dagger hidden in the package, and with the blowgun in her other hand, she shot a poisonous arrow towards the outside of the gate.

The two maids drew out their daggers, and then shot out two poisonous arrows. The three of them stood in position, with the shadow of a combined attack.

Outside the ruined temple, seven or eight footsteps were heard. The men were dressed as gangsters, each holding a scimitar. The leading man had one eye and a thin face, and was very recognizable.

"Miao Manqing, you are really good at hiding. You hid here!"

Between his words, the one-eyed man looked around the dilapidated temple and saw Xiang Yuan and Xiao He standing ready for battle. He pondered for a moment and said, "I picked these three courtesans, and it has nothing to do with you two, so don't get involved!"

"Brother, I don't understand."

"Don't be afraid, I don't understand either."

"..."

The one-eyed man tried to probe with underworld jargon, but he was asking for trouble. He was a little angry and stared at Miao Manqing with one eye: "Someone paid a high price to invite you back to Pingxi Village, but they want us brothers to protect you. Now put down your weapons so that you can suffer less."

"Whoever pays you, I'll pay three times the price!"

Miao Manqing tightly gripped the dagger, knowing that there was a traitor in the village, but she didn't know who it was... It seemed like every uncle and elder was a suspect.

"You'll find out if you follow me back."

The one-eyed man waved his hand, calling on all the brothers to take action, and ordered: "Don't kill them, keep them alive."

The swords flashed, and seven or eight strong men with good skills surrounded them. Soon, they trapped Miao Manqing and the other two in a corner.

Miao Manqing's martial arts skills were average and she had just started to learn the ropes. She was not as good as the two maids. The one-eyed man took away her weapon and slapped her on the shoulder.

The two maids were loyal and protected Miao Manqing and refused to leave. They were hit by the poison dart and fell limply to the ground, their lives in danger.

After completing the task, the one-eyed man looked at the two fools and smiled coldly: "Kill them, don't leave any alive."

"Wait a moment, we surrender." Xiao He held a knife in front and begged for mercy loudly.

"How can this be absurd? I am a well-known bandit. How can I surrender just like that?"

Xiang Yuan was furious and slapped Xiao He hard. He glared at the one-eyed man and said, "It's not that easy to make us surrender without a fight, unless you promise to spare our lives."

"Brother is smart."

Xiao He nodded repeatedly, holding his head high and saying, "That's right. If you don't agree, don't even think about us begging for mercy. I'm not afraid to tell you, you should be secretly happy that you have offended our brothers. You have offended the easiest person to offend within a hundred miles."

"Kill them!"

The one-eyed man was furious. For some reason, he felt a headache whenever he heard the two idiots talking.
