My wife is a reborn big boss

Chapter 175 The Great Secret of the Miao King

Seeing that Wu Qiong remained unmoved, Shi Yue offered a deal: "I have many girls under my command. If you want to find a wife, I can help you make connections."

"Heh." Wu Qiong gave her a disdainful look, letting her figure it out for herself.

"There are so many beautiful girls inside!" Shi Yue exclaimed.

They're just kids, they can't keep their composure.

However, Wu Qiong scoffed, "So what if she's a pretty girl? I'm a scholar!"

"A scholar running around as a bandit! Do you think I'm a three-year-old?!" Shi Yue roared in anger.

"Seven years old and three years old don't seem to make much of a difference, do they?" Wu Qiong laughed. "We're mountain bandits, you know what mountain bandits are."

He turned to look at his three accomplices, then threatened Shi Yue, "If you keep acting so arrogantly, I'll sell you to a brothel in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"You won't," Shi Yue said confidently. "Judging from your appearance, you don't seem like bandits. You must have your own purpose."

Wu Qiong and the other three exchanged glances, feeling rather speechless.

Are all kids these days this smart? They're not cute at all!

But no matter how smart she is, she's still just a seven-year-old child.

"Actually, I also have a tragic past that no one knows about." Wu Qiong reached behind his back and pinched his lower back hard. Suddenly, he was overwhelmed with sorrow and tears streamed down his face. "I was originally an ordinary scholar in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Apart from my outstanding temperament and unparalleled appearance, I had no other merits."

I had a childhood sweetheart named Xiaofang, and I planned to marry her after passing the imperial examination. But one day, a powerful nobleman from the Great Zhou Dynasty passed through our village, and Xiaofang left me.

Shi Yue said sympathetically, "I've read stories like this in books. That powerful person took a fancy to Xiao Fang and took her away from you, didn't they?"

"No, that powerful woman was a princess of the current dynasty. She took a fancy to me and forced Xiaofang to leave me. Xiaofang had no choice but to leave behind the words, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a poor young woman,' before departing." Wu Qiong shed tears of heroism: "I don't know if we will ever meet again in this life."

"." Shi Yue was speechless: "You Zhou people really know how to have fun."

"After that, that powerful woman toyed with my body and soul, but she was powerful after all, and one day, she got tired of me. She actually...she actually..." Wu Qiong covered his face: "She actually wanted to have my child!"

Shi Yue: "."

With your unremarkable appearance, that princess must be blind.

"I refused to comply even at the cost of my life, so I found an opportunity to escape. But I am just a weak scholar, so I was tied up by a group of bandits and taken to the mountain. Their female leader wanted me to be her husband," Wu Qiong sighed.

Shi Yue glanced at him sideways.

You can make things up all you want; if I believe you, I'll admit defeat.

"Just at this critical moment, a figure descended from the sky and saved me from dire straits!" Wu Qiong said excitedly. "She was highly skilled in martial arts. After saving me, she took me as her disciple and taught me martial arts."

I thought my suffering was finally over, but I never imagined she was a fearsome demon lord feared by everyone in the martial world! The reason she took me as her disciple was because she was attracted to my beauty and wanted me to be her husband.

Shi Yue said sarcastically, "You must have had a really tough time."

"No problem, no problem." Wu Qiong wiped away his tears and smiled. "In the end, I took advantage of that demon's absence to secretly run away. But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that there was no place for me in the vast Zhou Dynasty. I had no choice but to come to Miao territory to make a living."

Little sister, you have to believe me!

"Alright, you can't fool me." Shi Yue said impatiently, "You clearly offended someone in Da Zhou and had no choice but to come to Miao Jiang. Don't tell me those lies meant for children."

So she's still young. Most people wouldn't say anything even if they could tell it was a lie. Wouldn't it be better if everyone just kept to themselves?

Wu Qiong smiled but remained silent.

To deal with this kind of self-righteous little kid, all you have to do is tell her a lie that's so obviously false that she'll come up with a plausible reason in her head.

Although this reason is still false.

"In short, we won't help you." Wu Qiong said leisurely, "I've had enough trouble in the Great Zhou. Now I just want to do well in this promising career as a bandit and live out my remaining years like this. I don't want to get involved in those messy things."

Playing hard to get is the best way to deal with kids.

Shi Yue pursed her lips and said, "I know you don't really want to be a bandit. If you can help me, I can help you clear your name."

It's important to understand that she doesn't have much power at her moment, while the group in front of her could easily kill the dozen or so masked men who had ambushed her. The four of them working together could also defeat the masked leader, a "Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm," which would be a significant asset to her. Although she didn't know what inhumane treatment they had suffered within the Great Zhou territory that forced them to leave their homeland, this was still a good thing for her.

That's right, she wants to recruit these people as her subordinates.

"Stop with the nonsense," Wu Qiong said impatiently. "Just tell me how much silver you'll give us in return for helping you."

He's a bandit now, so he has to respect his established persona.

"Come with me to the village, and I'll get you a thousand taels first." The young girl said shyly, "I'll get you another thousand taels after it's all done."

Looking at the shy girl with her head down in front of him, Wu Qiong felt his heart soften.

"OK."

"The Holy Maiden is back!"

"These are homemade glutinous rice cakes. Please take some back and try them, Your Majesty!"

Wu Qiong and the others followed the little girl Shi Yue back to the village. Seeing how warmly and respectfully everyone treated Shi Yue along the way, they laughed and said, "I didn't realize you were so popular."

She's clearly a seven-year-old girl with no breasts, so how does she win people's hearts?

"Of course!" The little girl's nose perked up after being praised. "As long as you are genuinely good to everyone, everyone will be good to you in return."

"But you don't seem to be rich. Can you come up with a thousand taels of silver?" Wu Qiong asked suspiciously.

"I," Shi Yue lowered her head and whispered, "I don't know."

"You think you can fool me with your feelings? Do you know what the consequences are for deceiving me, 'Mountain Eagle'?" Wu Qiong stretched out his wicked hands.

He frantically pulled at Shi Yue's little face: "Be careful, or I'll tie you up and sell you to a brothel in the Great Zhou!"

"I'm a big shot, I don't know how to make it like this." The little girl's face was being kneaded like dough, and she couldn't even speak clearly.

"Alright." Wu Qiong released his hand: "Now that we're on your pirate ship, tell me, who exactly are you, and why do they all call you the Holy Maiden? I don't believe someone who can be called the Holy Maiden would stay in this dilapidated village."

"I am the Holy Maiden of Miao territory, and the next priestess appointed by Miao." The little girl pursed her lips and said solemnly, "My master was killed by the Miao King, and I escaped."

"You've rebelled?" Wu Qiong asked curiously. "Why would the Miao King kill a priest for no reason?"

It is important to know that the power of the Miao priests was extremely great, almost comparable to that of the Miao king.

"Master didn't rebel." The little girl shook her head. "The reason he was killed was because we discovered a great secret of the Miao King."

"What secret?!" Simon, who had been silent all along, asked urgently.

He was genuinely worried about his wife, Du Yuesheng's, safety. To be honest, if he weren't afraid of implicating Wu Qiong and the others, he would have already kidnapped the saintess and run to the palace to find his wife.

Shi Yue glanced at Wu Qiong, and seeing that he didn't react, she said, "The princes of Miao territory didn't die naturally; they were all killed by the Miao King himself."
