This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 74: From ancient times, elder brother and sister-in-law cannot have both
"You two can't leave!"

At the dinner table, Miao Manqing slammed the table and insisted that Crossing the River Dragon and Stumbling Block stay.

Xiang Yuan ate his meal in gulps. He hadn't eaten enough in the past few days, so he stuffed it into his stomach when he got a big meal. He was so focused that he didn't hear what Miao Manqing said.

Xiao He raised his head and licked the rice grains from his mouth: "Why don't you leave? Your father said that your village is not safe. My brother and I have taken the money and eaten the food. Why don't you stay and die with you?"

"Add money!"

"Gado..."

Snapped!
Xiang Yuan thrust a chicken leg into Xiao He's mouth and continued, "Do you know how much money we brothers can earn in a day by robbing houses?"

"How much money can you make from robbing houses?" Miao Manqing said disdainfully.

"Hey, you sticky rice dumpling, I think you really don't understand!"

Xiang Yuan said with reason: "Robbery is a very promising livelihood. Three days ago, my brother and I failed to rob a woman. Guess how much we earned?"

"..."

Miao Manqing's face turned dark. It was true. He made four thousand taels of silver from her.

No, this is all a mess!

Miao Manqing felt that the two were too stupid to be reasonable, but she also felt that stupidity had its benefits. She thought of a plan and said slowly, "You rob people in all weathers, running around everywhere, with nowhere to stay. If you don't open your eyes and rob someone powerful, there won't even be anyone to collect the body."

"It's so funny, do you think my second brother is afraid of death?"

"Brother, why don't you die?"

"I can run faster than you."

"Shut up, don't interrupt, just listen to me."

Miao Manqing slammed the table again and glared at Xiang Yuan fiercely. Now that she had arrived at the mountain village, her temper had risen and she dared to look down on the two of them.

She was not like this on the road. When Xiang Yuan and Xiao He glared at her, she became timid and hid in the bushes with her two maids.

Seeing her aggressiveness, Xiang Yuan, who was a man who didn't want to fight with a woman, shrugged and said, "Go ahead and talk. I won't interrupt you."

That's pretty much it!
Miao Manqing nodded in satisfaction, very satisfied with the effect of establishing her authority, and tempted: "The reason why you two are running around is because you have no foundation of your own. If you were to settle down in Pingxi Village, for example, are you afraid that no one will see you off to the end of your life a hundred years later?"

"What do you mean, you want to find a son-in-law for your father?"

Xiao He pulled out the chicken leg: "Brother, she likes me."

"Haha, do you think I will snatch it from you? I won't even take a sticky rice dumpling if it's given to me for free."

"Then I don't want it either."

"Shut up……"

Miao Manqing's teeth chattered. "Fuck sticky rice dumplings! If I had someone else available, why would I let you two idiots speak foul language?"

She suppressed her anger, explained the benefits of joining Pingxi Village, and finally said: "My father is only injured, not really dead. As long as he recovers, the village will still be the same village. When the time comes, you two can both take the top position based on your merits!"

Xiang Yuan and Xiao He looked at each other, one nodded and the other shook his head.

"Of course you can, but you haven't even planted the wheat yet, and you're already drawing sticky rice dumplings for us brothers. Do you really think we are fools?"

"That's right, my brother is not a fool!"

"What do you want?"

"Give us two thousand taels of silver first. We will stay in the village. When your father recovers from his injury, I... your second brother will return you one thousand taels."

"Big brother?"

"Stop talking nonsense and focus on the overall situation."

Miao Manqing was exhausted and not satisfied with the outcome of the negotiation, but at least she managed to stop the man.

She walked into the inner room weakly and took out a stack of banknotes: "Here is three thousand taels. Don't be idle, help me find out who my little wife Mu Hongya has been close to recently."

"What do you mean? Isn't she the village chief's wife?" Xiang Yuan looked confused.

"Oh, what do you know? She doesn't care who is the village chief. She just wants to be the village chief's wife." Miao Manqing said firmly.

"Hiss, hiss, brother, what she said makes a lot of sense." Xiao He took a breath.

"That's true. Since ancient times, you can't have both your elder brother and your elder sister-in-law. I'm jealous... Bah, I mean, to the village chief's brothers, the village chief's wife is indeed attractive."

"Yes, with this status, no matter who is the village chief, she is still the village chief's wife."

"..."

The dirty talk continued and Miao Manqing couldn't bear it any longer, so she asked the two to do it at night, to be careful and not be seen by anyone.

She arranged accommodation for Xiang Yuan and Xiao He, which was right next to her own yard and very close to the village chief's house. As long as Mu Hongya made any movement and the two were not fast asleep, their whereabouts would be easily detected.

In the eyes of outsiders, Miao Manqing brought two reckless men home and made them live next door to her, so they must be doing something shady.

Of course, from another perspective, it also makes sense that the two reckless men found something bad about Miao Manqing and forced her to obey.

At this critical juncture, Miao Manqing no longer cared about her reputation. She left in a hurry and contacted some of her father's old subordinates to see what everyone's attitude was.

That night.

Xiang Yuan was practicing in the inner room, holding the five elements beads in his mouth, focusing on hard work.

I haven't practiced properly for three days, and I must make up for it tonight. As big as the universe is, nothing is more important than advancing the progress.

Xiao He was lying on the window. There was a plate of spiced broad beans on the table next to him. He would take one out and put it in his mouth from time to time. Miao Manqing asked him to monitor the village chief's main house, so he did the job obediently and worked extra hard for the money he was paid to do.

He just wasn't very careful. He kept an eye on her through the open window and even turned on the lights, fearing that no one could see.

This behavior is equivalent to placing a sniper rifle outside the window during an assassination. When you ask him why, he says that he can shoot more accurately at a closer distance.

stupid!
In the second half of the night, a figure in a black robe walked out of the house and disappeared after a few steps. Xiao He nodded. He didn't hide the steamed buns. It was not Mu Hongya. This trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain was really used.

Soon, another dark shadow walked out, this time carrying a steamed bun.

Just you!
Xiao He yawned and did not follow. As he said, there are many turtles in shallow water. Let them do whatever they want. He was too lazy to worry about the peace and stability of Pingxi Village.

But soon, Xiao He was stunned. Another black shadow walked out of the big house. The movement was so fast that it was extraordinary. After several rises and falls, it came in front of him without any movement.

Miao Black Wolf!
"Brother, I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. Can we talk in your room?"

interesting!

Xiao He's eyes lit up. He grabbed a handful of broad beans and stuffed them into his mouth, then opened the door and invited Miao Heilang in.

Xiang Yuan in the inner room heard the noise, and calmly spit out the Five Elements Bead, stuffed it into his chest, and his muscles moved to wrap it up and hide it in his flesh and blood.

There has been some success in the method of formless seal.

After walking out, Xiang Yuan was stunned when he saw Miao Heilang.

Hmm, that’s interesting!
Miao Heilang was injured at this time and his face was still pale, but his condition was much better than being on the hospital bed with no cure.

"Chief, you're not going to die?" Xiang Yuan asked in surprise.

"Brother, the village chief was teasing us during the day!"

"My two brothers, I have shown my true face to everyone. Why do you two have to act crazy and stupid?" Miao Heilang smiled and cupped his hands.

"I don't understand." x2
"Haha, my daughter's eyesight is not good enough to recognize your true faces. She just thought it was a coincidence that she met two greedy gangsters. But I know that you two are definitely not here for money." Miao Heilang said calmly.

Xiao He raised the corner of his mouth: "Then tell me, who are my two brothers?"

Miao Heilang put his fingers together to form a sword and pointed it to the north.

Western Chu!

"Great! He is worthy of being the leader of a village. He is able to suppress so many local bullies. He really has some skills." Xiao He clapped his hands in applause.

Xiang Yuan shook his head speechlessly. I have said it before, there are too many smart people in this world. If the average IQ is 70, no, it doesn't have to be that low, just Miao Manqing per capita would be enough.

To be modest, just like the sticky bean curd, he could be fooled nine times in one night with a little trickery.

"Master Miao, please tell me where my brother and I have revealed our flaws?" Xiao He asked.

"The village is in trouble at this time. You two came at a very opportune time. Even if you are here to seek wealth, you shouldn't..."

"That's not a reason, to be honest."

"Yu Dashan works for the Six Gates, and Miao has known about it for a long time."

"I see."

Xiao He nodded in satisfaction: "Since the Miao village leader knows about this, I think it was you who imprisoned Yu Dashan and deliberately led him to reveal the Six Gates behind him."

"Of course."

Miao Heilang readily admitted that he had known for a long time that Yu Dashan was not a clean hand, but he had ignored it all along just to use him one day.

In addition to Yu Dashan, Pingxi Village also has some disloyal leaders, such as the second leader Luo Daihe and the fourth leader Meng Zhi, both of whom are members of the Five Poison Sect.

The difference is that Meng Zhi honestly serves as his spy, accepts money from the Five Poison Sect and only passes on information. Luo Daihe is unwilling to be under someone else's command for long, so he joins forces with the third in command Zuo Yuanwen to rebel, and even asks the sixth in command Mu Hongya to poison the medicine.

Miao Heilang knew all of this, and he also understood one thing.

The water in southern Xinjiang is deep and muddy. As a congenital warrior, he can shock one side, but he is not enough to shock the whole world. Only when the big forces think he is useful can Pingxi Village enjoy long-term stability.

The reason for the collapse this time was purely accidental. He was beaten up while joining in the fun, and was unable to suppress the restless Luo Daihe.

"From what the village chief said, are you planning to join our Six Gates?" Xiao He asked with a smile.

"I do have an idea."

Miao Heilang said respectfully, "Yu Dashan is like a dog. He will recognize whoever gives him shit as his master. He is such a two-faced person, but the Six Gates sent people to rescue him when they heard that he was in trouble. Miao thinks that he is a hundred times stronger than him, so how can he not be favored by the Six Gates!"

"Well said, but... doesn't the Miao village leader feel wronged?"

"Look at what you said. It's the greatest honor to be a dog of Da Chu. Unlike some dogs who run around without knowing who their owners are." Miao Heilang's straight back immediately bent down and a smile appeared on his face.

In other words, it has no tail, otherwise it would have turned into a propeller.

This black wolf is too mature!

There are more familiar ones.

Xiao He turned a blind eye to Miao Heilang's flattery and said bluntly: "The reason why Pingxi Village exists is because each family can use it. You defected to the Six Gates and killed the spies of the Five Poison Sect in the village. I'm afraid Pingxi Village will not survive for long."

"Just kill Luo Daihe and others, and leave Meng Zhi behind. I am also a congenital warrior. I will explain that Luo Daihe was the first to rebel. The Five Poison Sect will give me a warning, and the matter will be over." Miao Heilang was not in a hurry, and had the demeanor of a strategist.

"In that case, what difference does it make whether you vote for the Six Gates or not?"

"Miao is seriously injured. Although I have some strength left, I am afraid I am no match for Luo Daihe. I still ask the two of you to help me secretly. After the matter is accomplished, I am willing to be the running dog of the court in southern Xinjiang."

It turns out to be a freeloader!
Xiang Yuan rolled his eyes. That sounded nice. After the mission was accomplished, the Miao guy would most likely continue to be the same as before, selling the intelligence to several companies. He would still be the Black Wolf who was not afraid of power and would not cling to powerful people.

Xiao He also understood the logic behind this, and he looked at Miao Heilang quietly, waiting for what would happen next.

Miao Heilang gritted his teeth and pulled out a map from his bosom: "Two hundred miles to the east, there is an opportunity that I have not been able to obtain. I am willing to present it to the court in exchange for your help."
