I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

Jiang Yuan looked at the group of people's poor acting skills, hesitant to speak.

That's it? You still want to deceive people?

"Sir! Do you know what you have in your hand? There may be only one of its kind in the entire world!"

"You actually want to use something like this to save someone. I absolutely cannot agree to this!"

Although Li Hu's acting was a bit exaggerated, Jiang Yuan had no choice but to accept the role.

"No! What do you know? Xiaoqing cooks for you every day. Don't you feel sorry for her at all?"

"Although this thing is good, it will be a disaster if it stays with us sooner or later. It's better to save Xiaoqing's life!"

Jiang Yuan looked at Xu Ming with a determined look on his face: "Let's start the exchange. I'll put this thing on the big rock over there. You let Xiaoqing go and get it yourself!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuan kicked Li Hu and Zhao Kai away and walked towards the big rock with firm steps.

Xiao Qing, who had been watching everyone perform for a long time, finally reacted and said in a tearful voice, "Sir, although I don't know what it is, but since Li Hu and the others said so, it must be very important. Hurry and put it away!"

"Put it away quickly! Xiaoqing's life is not worth what you are doing!"

"Shut up!" Xu Ming suddenly grabbed Xiaoqing's neck, his forehead covered with cold sweat.

This group of people are indeed not fools, they know what the pill means.

However, Xu Ming looked at Jiang Yuan with some relief in his eyes. Fortunately, the leader was not smart and would rather give up the elixir of immortality for a woman.

It's just stupid to the extreme!

If I could live forever, how many women would I be able to find in the future?

But it seems that I should really thank him now, otherwise how could such a thing fall into my hands, Xu Ming had a smile on his face.

On the other side, Jiang Yuan solemnly opened the brocade box and placed it on the stone, then stepped back.

"Xu Ming, I've already put the things away. Don't think about holding Xiaoqing hostage any longer. Otherwise, you'll be in breach of contract first, and Li Hu can come after you."

Xu Ming pondered for a while and loosened his hand that was pinching Xiaoqing's neck slightly.

Even though there were so many people present, it would not matter as long as they failed to catch him. As long as Li Hu, who was faster than him, did not take action, it would be impossible for the others to catch him.

She's just a woman, the risk isn't worth taking.

"Okay! I'll release it right away..."

Xu Ming was halfway through his words when he pushed Xiaoqing away and rushed towards the big rock like lightning.

At the same time, the crowd who had been ready for action split into two groups and started to fight. Wang Gang rushed directly to Xiaoqing and protected her tightly, while Zhao Kai and others rushed towards Xu Ming with red eyes.

Since it's a play, we have to do the whole thing.

Xu Ming seemed to have expected this. He grabbed the brocade box without stopping. After a few jumps, he stood on the branch of a big tree, turned around and looked at everyone with a smile.

"No need to see me off, everyone. Xu needs to go ahead."

After saying that, Xu Ming looked at Li Hu and said, "Li Hu, don't do anything, or your Li family will be extinct."

Li Hu sneered, "Humph! Put your heart back in your dog's stomach. Now that I've said it, I definitely won't do anything!"

Xu Ming nodded in satisfaction, then stood on the branch, opened the brocade box, took out a ball the size of a candied haws, and greedily put it next to his nose and sniffed it a few times.

"It smells good! It smells really good! It has a special fragrance!" Xu Ming shook his head with an intoxicated look on his face.

Jiang Yuan pinched his thigh with one hand, and veins on his forehead popped out from holding it in.

Is this guy out of his mind?

It smells like sulfur and saltpeter, how can this be a fragrance?

"Don't show off, you bastard!" Zhao Kai shouted angrily, holding a knife.

"Hahaha!" Xu Ming laughed wildly towards the sky and looked at everyone with a sneer on his face.

Look, how many good players have come tonight, and how many cunning foxes have capsized in the gutter.

So what if you are powerful and have many people?

The final winner is me!

When he thought of this, Xu Ming's expression became more and more proud.

Anyway, Li Hu won't take action, and it's impossible for this group of people to catch up with me. What's wrong with me pretending?

Is there a problem?

No, that's quite reasonable. Is this what it feels like to be a winner?

It's just wonderful!

Jiang Yuan in the distance was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He really couldn't hold it in any longer if this idiot didn't leave.

"Xu Ming, get out of here right now and don't let me see you again."

Li Hu and the others knew what was going on but kept silent, fearing that they would burst out laughing if they spoke. But from Xu Ming's point of view, Jiang Yuan was obviously regretting it.

"Haha! Come to think of it, I really have to thank you. Without you, this thing would not have come into my hands. Therefore, I decided to eat this elixir of immortality right in front of you!" After Xu Ming finished speaking, he actually threw the thing into his mouth and began to chew it.

Jiang Yuan frowned at this scene. Wouldn't he die from eating so much gunpowder? Wouldn't this thing be disgusting?

Xu Ming's face flushed as he chewed the pill. If someone didn't know, they might think the pill was working.

"Ugh! As expected of a pill that's been precipitated for twenty years, it's surprisingly hard to chew. And as soon as I put it in my mouth, it feels like flames exploding in my mouth. The medicinal properties are really strong!"

Looking at the increasingly arrogant Xu Ming, Jiang Yuan shook his head with regret.

If God wants to kill a person, he will first make him crazy.

Do you know what you ate?

But this kid's teeth are really tough. He actually chewed the outer layer of iron armor into pieces. He is worthy of being a master of the third realm.

After a while, Xu Ming, who had finally swallowed everything in his mouth, felt as if a fire was burning in his stomach.

"Everyone, it tastes quite good. If nothing goes wrong, I will come to your graves in person to pay my respects a hundred years from now."

After saying that, Xu Ming turned around and jumped a few times before disappearing into the night.

Jiang Yuan and his companions breathed a sigh of relief, and then with grim faces, they carried Li Canglan's empty coffin towards Taiping County.

Xiaoqing looked at everyone in unusual silence, tears welling up in her eyes.

Jiang Yuan wanted to comfort him, but he was afraid that he would laugh out loud accidentally. God knows whether that old man Zhang Guang was watching him secretly.

After everyone closed the city gate, Zhao Kai could no longer bear it. Just when he opened his mouth wide and was about to speak, Jiang Yuan reached out and covered his mouth.

"Just smile lightly, and don't make any noise. If someone hears you, it'll be over."

Zhao Kai blinked and nodded.

"You're killing me with laughter! What on earth is that thing of yours, sir? Give me one to try, I want to see how delicious it is." Kong Xuan came up happily.

Jiang Yuan pushed him aside angrily and said, "Let's talk about it at the county government office."

When everyone walked into the county government office like thieves, more than a dozen heads crowded together to observe the pills in front of them.

"Sir, you can't fool us with fake things again this time, right?" Ma Zhi looked at Jiang Yuan with some suspicion.

"Damn it! How is this possible? Are you doubting my character?"

Li Hu nodded silently.

Jiang Yuan was dumbfounded. This kind of shit can only fool you primitive people. As a young man of the new century, how could I believe in something that goes against science, such as immortality?

"Damn! They're all here, take a look for yourselves." Jiang Yuan poured all the bullets in the cloth bag around his waist onto the table.

"Hehe! Sir, you are joking. We were just joking." Li Hu smiled with a servile expression.

Everyone's expressions gradually became serious, and even Bai Jingyun, who was well-read in poetry and books, showed a look of yearning.

"What if, I mean what if, this thing really can make people immortal?"

Jiang Yuan's heart moved, and he said after careful consideration: "How about you try taking a bite first?"
