Text Chapter 2014: A Guy with High Expectations but Poor Skills

Miao Yi fell into silence.

A smile appeared on Xia Houling's lips, but he didn't rush him and just enjoyed the singing and dancing leisurely, waiting for his reply.

He knew in his heart that when he came to the door, Miao Yi would not be able to hand it over unless he handed it over. Miao Yi could not bear the consequences of not giving it.

After a long time, Miao Yi suddenly asked: "What good can I gain by giving it to Tian Weng?"

Xia Houling smiled lightly and said: "Benefit? The Governor has figured out something. I am helping the Governor solve the problem."

No good? Miao Yi had a bored look on his face and said with a smile: "Haha, it's better not to trouble Tian Weng. Let's do this. I will take the initiative to confess to the heaven later."

Xia Houling twitched the corner of his mouth and said casually: "What benefits does the Governor want?"

Miao Yi raised a glass to invite him, "Submit something to the Heavenly Court, such a valuable treasure, how can Heavenly Court not reward you? Let's not beat around the bush, I can't give the thing for free, the Xiahou family is not short of money, Tianwen still spends money. buy it."

Xia Houling said expressionlessly: "The Governor is really quick to talk. Tell me, how much do you want?"

Miao Yi stretched out a finger, "One thousand trillion immortal essence pills!"

Xia Houling sneered and said, "The Governor's appetite is really extraordinary."

Miao Yi stared at him, "This appetite has been reduced a lot. Back then, Ying Jiuguang gave me 10,000 trillion immortal essence pills, and there were various additional conditions. Now I only ask Tian Weng for 1,000 trillion. Niu has already It shows enough sincerity! Since this blood lotus has such a miraculous effect, you and I know in our hearts that the Xiahou family is determined to win it and never wants to fall into the hands of others. Besides, this little money is nothing to the Xiahou family. Ten Thousand Steps said, even if it has nothing to do with the demon monk Nan Bo, this is a sacred grass after all. It will be worth a lot of money if you sell it. I paid for this with my life. Tian Weng feels that Niu’s life is not worth it. Is it worth the price? If Tianweng really wants it, I won’t be embarrassed, just one thousand trillion. If Tianweng doesn’t want to give it, then there’s no need to continue talking. Let’s continue drinking, enjoying singing and dancing, and don’t make any trouble. Everyone is unhappy."

The two looked at each other, with a strong sense of confrontation in their eyes.

In the end, Xia Houling relented, "You can't have red lips and white teeth. Should the Governor take out the things first and let me verify them?"

Miao Yi glanced around, "Don't Tian Weng want me to take it out for appreciation on such an occasion?"

Xia Houling: "Don't say that such a large governor's palace cannot find a secluded place."

"Then please help me come with me." Miao Yi put down his wine glass and stood up.

Xia Houling also put down his wine glass and stood up to leave, and his accompanying guards immediately gathered up to follow him.

After walking out of the gorgeous pavilion, Miao Yi stopped at the door of the courtyard of the inner house, looked back at the crowd of people following him, and said indifferently: "Does Tian Weng have to lead a group of people to break into Niu's inner house?"

"No need to follow, just wait." Xia Houling turned around and confessed. For him, it was impossible for Miao Yi to attack him here. If he really wanted to attack him, he would have already gone deep into the tiger's den, and no one could protect him here. .

The two entered the inner house and came to the entrance of a basement. They went down the steps and were blocked by a metal wall. Miao Yi cast a spell and waved his hand, and a precious light appeared on the metal wall. They moved away instantly. A hole with mana fluctuations appeared, and something strange appeared. Dark light.

Miao Yi extended his hand to invite him in, and Xiahou Tuo said slightly warily: "This is it?"

"What's the secret training room built by Niu? Tianweng is afraid that Niu will do something bad to Tianweng?" Miao Yi smiled lightly, and without saying much, he stepped in first, and the person disappeared at the entrance of the cave in an instant. .

Xia Houling hesitated for a moment, thinking that Niu Youde didn't dare to let anything happen to him here, so he bravely stepped in.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and Xia Houling was shocked. He found that he had come to another world with beautiful mountains and clear waters. What he couldn't avoid was that he saw the entangled black light. He had carefully woven a net and waited. Where else could he go if he bumped into it? He ran, and the hole in the void behind him was also closed. It could be said that he was hit instantly, and his whole body was stunned in the air and fell straight down.

A figure flashed towards him, and Yan Xiu, who was holding a soul-summoning flag, grabbed Xiahou Tuo and landed firmly on the ground, next to Miao Yi.

Yang Qing also came from the nearby hilltop and couldn't help but look at Yan Xiu a few more times. Although he already knew something, this was the first time he saw Yan Xiu using such magical powers.

Looking at Xia Houling who had easily fallen into the trap and was controlled, Miao Yi glanced sideways at Yang Qing and said, "It would be a pity to kill this guy who has a high skill but a low skill. In my opinion, it is better to find a way to detain him and deal with Cao Man in the future." Maybe it will come in handy."

Yang Qing understood what he meant. He wanted to use it to blackmail Cao Man in the future. After Cao Man took over as the head of the family, he suddenly discovered that the previous head of the family was still alive. Cao Man was embarrassed whether Cao Man would abdicate or not. Yang Qing was a little dumbfounded, shook his head and said: "Sir, don't make any more extravagant matters. This matter is not trivial to Cao Man. Usurping power and seizing the throne is not a trivial matter. It must be seen in life and in death, otherwise the head of the family will not know whether he is alive or not. Where is Cao Man? If you dare to take the position easily, you have to take into account the opinions of other people in the Xiahou family, right? First of all, Xiahou Ling's confidants will not agree. The Xiahou family must first trace the whereabouts of the family head, instead of considering who should take over the position of the family head immediately, not to mention this matter. The Governor's Mansion cannot be implicated in the slightest, and he must be allowed to leave the Netherworld safely. It is not easy to keep him alive, so I hope you will think twice!"

Miao Yi grinned and realized that he was thinking too much. He laughed and said, "Just a joke." Then he turned back to Yan Xiu and said, "Hurry up and ask, don't delay for too long, otherwise the outside world will be suspicious." ." After saying that, he directly picked up the storage bracelet on Xia Houling's wrist.

The price negotiation with Xia Houling before was entirely to confuse Xia Houling and lower Xia Houling's defensiveness. How could he wait until Xia Houling went back to collect the Gigabyte Immortal Yuan Pills? It was also impossible for Xia Houling to leave an IOU or something like that before turning back. If he really had to hand over the IOU, it would be difficult for the Xiahou family not to doubt him.

But now we can take the opportunity to search for the good things on Xia Houling's body.

Of course, he didn't dare to search too cleanly. He just had to take away most of the valuable things. He didn't dare to take away things like star bells or some things whose details were unclear. He would go back to Xiahou's family to check Xiahou Ling's. It is easy to find flaws in relics.

Yang Qing added and reminded Yan Xiu: "We don't have much time. Let's ask important questions to see if we can find out the secret power of the Xiahou family." As he said this, he took out the jade slip to record, fearing that he would leave something important behind. information.

Yan Xiu and Yang Qing took the time to dig things out of Xia Houling's mouth, while Miao Yi was busy cleaning the belongings in Xia Houling's storage bracelet.

The top secret coming out of Xia Houling's mouth was no small matter. Yang Qing was secretly frightened when he heard it. What made Yang Qing even more frightened was Yan Xiu's method, which made him shudder. He was thinking about what he should do if one day this method was used on him. how? Now he finally understood why all the forces in the world insisted on putting the demon monk Nan Bo to death.

After interrogating for a while, it was seen that the time was almost up, and there was still some time left for Yan Xiu to cast spells to deepen his control over Xiahou Ling. If it were delayed any longer, it would easily arouse suspicion. Yang Qing decisively stopped and said: "Sir, it's almost time. The Xiahou family The tree is big and has deep roots, and Xia Houling, the head of the family, doesn’t seem to know it thoroughly.”

Miao Yi raised his head and asked, "Hasn't he already revealed the identities of his secretly powerful brothers?" Although he was concentrating on cleaning up Xia Houling's belongings just now, he somewhat listened to it.

Yang Qing nodded: "This is indeed a major discovery, but he only knows this. He doesn't know the specific situation of his brothers at all. To put it bluntly, he has not grasped those forces at all, and many details. We don’t have time to delve into it, so that’s all we can do now, but the only information we have is already of great use to us.”

Miao Yi waved his hand to Yan Xiu to do it quickly, while he frowned and said, "I just heard some kind of clan elder meeting, what's going on?"

Yang Qing said solemnly: "I don't know. This is the first time I've heard that the Xiahou family has a clan elders' association. Xiahou Ling himself can't figure out this clan elders' association. I only heard from Xiahou Tuo that they were all controlled by Xiahou. Real powerful figures from all walks of life in the family would join the Clan Elders Association after retiring for various reasons. They seemed to have retired, but they were all powerful figures in the past, and their influence can be imagined. However, Xiahou Ling never saw any interference from them. The normal operation of the Xiahou family is very mysterious. Even Xiahou Ling does not know where the elders of the clan are hiding. He suspects that it is not within the area under the jurisdiction of the heaven at all, but is secretly hiding in an unknown star field unknown to outsiders. By the way, the personal guards around him were provided by the clan elders, and even he couldn't find any identity."

Miao Yi frowned and said, "Who will control this elder clan?"

Yang Qing: "It turns out that Xiahou Tuo was in charge of it, but Xia Houtuo did not hand it over to Xia Houling before he died. He only told Xiahou Ling that the clan elders would contact him when necessary, and he would naturally know what happened. Something happened.”

A black light shrouded Xia Houling's head withdrew the soul-calling flag, and Yan Xiu said: "Sir, it's done."

Miao Yi looked at the storage bracelet on his hand and cursed, "The wealth of the Xiahou family has been accumulated over several dynasties. It is really unfathomable. Just the amount he carries on his body is terrifying, damn..." A trace of reluctance flashed across his face. He didn't have enough time. He concentrated on cleaning up quickly but only managed to clean up a small amount. He didn't dare to take the things he couldn't understand. If the Xiahou family knew that the things that must have been on Xiahou Ling were missing. , I must doubt whether something went wrong in the Netherworld Governor's Mansion.

It’s not like he has never done anything like robbing houses over the years. He has always dared to swallow as much as he had, not too much, not too little. The first time he found that some of the things he got were too hot to touch, he finally realized what it means to be an old man in the world. The more timid you are, the more things you know, and the easier it is to draw a bottom line for yourself that you dare not cross.

Yang Qing probably noticed it and comforted him: "Sir, if you have your own power, are you afraid of not having these external things? First things first!" According to his idea, the safest way and the least likely way to cause trouble is to leave Xiahou alone. Order something.

Miao Yi nodded, threw the storage bracelet to Yan Xiu, put it back on Xia Houling's wrist, and shouted: "Let's go!" (To be continued.)
