After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Not long after, they arrived at Liuyun Village.

The village gate was made of thick logs, and there were two or three guards at the entrance. They all nodded and greeted Mo Ping when they saw him.

Upon entering the village, rows of wooden houses are arranged in a neat and orderly fashion. The thatched roofs are slightly worn due to the erosion of wind and rain, and wisps of smoke rise from the houses.

They walked uphill, through winding mountain roads, and came to a spacious square.

A large table was set up in the square, where many people gathered. Flames were shooting up, and everyone was chatting and laughing, enjoying themselves immensely.

As Xiao Ran and her group passed by, someone called out to Mo Ping.

"Oh, what wind blew our little brother Moping here?"

Xiao Ran looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was sitting on one side of the large table. He was holding a wine cup and looking at Mo Ping with a playful smile.

In his arms nestled a delicate woman who was now looking Xiao Ran up and down with great interest.

"Fifth Brother, in my opinion, he's won the heart of a beauty!" The woman giggled, then threw herself into the man's arms, peeking out at them with her eyes wide open.

"Seventh Sister, what are you saying? Although the person behind Mo Ping looks thin and weak, he is definitely a man."

Then he burst into laughter, "But Mo Ping has never had a woman, so maybe he just likes this kind of thing."

Mo Ping's face darkened, but he still stepped forward, picked up the wine cup on the table, and said with a forced smile, "Fifth Master, Seventh Master, I've only just come of age and I'm not in a hurry to get married, so please don't tease me. The person behind me is my master's newly accepted disciple."

Then she secretly nudged Xiao Ran, and then stepped forward, raised her hands and clasped her hands, saying, "Fifth Master, Seventh Master, I am Dali."

The man and woman exchanged a glance, and the Fifth Master laughed loudly, "Since he is Fourth Brother's disciple, then we won't say anything more."

“But Mo Ping, what are you doing at Liuyun Village? You and Fourth Brother never go out. We all thought you were turtles hiding in your shells.”

Everyone around laughed.

Mo Ping was a little angry, but he knew that these two were elders and he couldn't talk back to them, so he could only smile and apologize.

"We've come to see the chief. Our master recently took on a new disciple, and we've brought him here to meet the chief."

Although the words were spoken politely, everyone knew that the fourth leader was using the new disciple to thwart the first leader's good intentions.

The fifth leader was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, then you may all take your seats. Eldest brother just went to talk to Third brother, they'll be back soon."

"This..." Mo Ping hesitated.

After all, his master had only instructed him to take this junior brother to meet the chief. If he really lingered here, these people would definitely get him drunk, and he might even have to stay at Liuyun Village for a while.

He doesn't want to!

Recalling his past dark experiences, Mo Ping rubbed his forehead, then glanced back at Xiao Ran meaningfully.

Xiao Ran immediately understood what he meant, so he stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Fifth Master, Seventh Master, I was injured today. Although I can still walk, I'm afraid I can't drink alcohol. However..."

"Just say what you have to say, stop being so effeminate," the Fifth Master said, somewhat annoyed by the rejection.

"Since it's the leaders' wish, we can't refuse, can we? Just make sure Dali doesn't drink alcohol."

Mo Ping had initially breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his junior brother was quite clever. However, upon hearing the following sentence, his face instantly darkened, and he hurriedly looked at his junior brother, trying to glean something from his eyes.

But Xiao Ran smiled and clasped his hands in apology to the Fifth Master.

The seventh leader raised his hand to examine the nail polish that had just been applied to his fingers, and said nonchalantly, "Alright, if you don't want to drink, then you don't have to. Anyway, if your junior brother doesn't drink, then let Mo Ping drink it."

……

Ever since Xiao Ran took her seat, she felt that her senior brother's face was very dark, even though he kept smiling and dealing with everyone.

But you can't blame her for this.

Because she had just thought of something.

On this day in my past life, the rebels were only a few days away from starting their uprising.

Moreover, all the key figures in Liuyun Village have gathered today, so they might be discussing this important matter.

In any case, it's better to have too much than too little. Since she has this status and can know these things, she has to find an opportunity to make good use of it.

Xiao Ran put down her teacup and glanced around unconsciously.

Sitting next to the Fifth Master was a bald man. Xiao Ran glanced at him unconsciously, but he kept staring at her with a deep gaze that carried an unreadable meaning.

Xiao Ran was a little confused, so she quickly turned around. At this moment, her senior brother, who hadn't spoken to her, said to her, "That's the Sixth Master. Don't provoke him unless you have to, and don't even make eye contact with him."

"Why?"

"He used to be a high-ranking monk in a temple in the capital. Due to the government's suppression of Buddhism, he ended up here. And I heard that as long as you look into his eyes, he can read your mind."

No wonder she felt creeped out just now.

She calmly took a sip of tea, then turned back to Mo Ping with a smile, "Senior brother, you're willing to talk to me now?"

Mo Ping suddenly remembered something, turned around with a dark face, and ignored her.

Not long after, two men slowly walked down from the high building. As soon as they arrived, everyone fell silent, and the fifth and seventh leaders stood up to greet them.

"Big brother, third brother."

A tall, dignified-looking middle-aged man took the seat of honor.

Although he was dressed as a bandit leader and had a fur belt around his waist, he did not have a rude manner in his every move. Instead, he had the demeanor of a dignified person.

This must be the big boss.

The other one...

A middle-aged man dressed in dark blue cloth walked up. He had dark circles under his eyes, but his eyes were very shrewd. Although he was not as burly as the leader, he had a scholarly air about him.

But Xiao Ran saw in his unconsciously upturned lips his unwavering confidence.

She smiled; this man was indeed someone who could accomplish great things.

She silently counted on her fingers: the fourth leader she'd encountered this morning, the fifth and seventh leaders who'd gotten up to greet her, the sixth leader just now, and now the first and third leaders had arrived.

Now all that's left is... the second-in-command that the boy mentioned this morning.

She lowered her head and whispered to her senior brother who had been ignoring her, "Senior brother, why didn't the second leader come?"

To her surprise, Mo Ping's expression immediately changed, and he gestured for her to be quiet.

Then, in a low voice, she accused him, "Are you out of your mind?! How dare you mention that person?"

Xiao Ran obediently shut her mouth and blinked at him.

At this moment, the head of the gang spotted Mo Ping and asked in confusion, "Mo Ping?"

Mo Ping had no choice but to mouth something to Xiao Ran and then go to respond to the leader.

However, she did understand it.

"We'll talk about it later."
