"Driving!" A loud shout fell down, and the carriage galloped away.
Only the people who were still in a daze were left. Xiao Chu seemed to be less than ten years old now? Can he still drive a carriage? Everyone was a little confused. Even Chen Changxue, who always claimed to know Xiao Chu very well, was stunned.
When I was still there, I couldn't figure out what the situation was like, Xiao Chu.
"Is this little guy Xiao Chu still good at this?" Chen Changxue's face full of questions.
Now, almost everyone has discovered that their previous understanding of Xiao Chu was wrong. Not only did he surpass himself and others in terms of talent and learning, he also had many skills that they did not know.
It seems that Xiao Chu, the name of "child prodigy", deserves it.
After a long silence, Chen Changxue and others came to their senses, and then no longer hesitated. They quickly set off towards Chongming Mansion. The captain Lao Zhang also joined their team and escorted directly on the side to prevent them from making any mistakes.
In the carriage, Xiao Changan sat inside, with a look of astonishment on his face. He found that he still had a little one-sided understanding of this young son. You must know that since childhood, he never knew that Xiao Chu had returned.
Those who have such skills are so skilled when driving a carriage, even they are even better than each other.
The carriage galloped towards Zhengjia Village. Xiao Chu was also very anxious. His mother Liu was still trapped in Dingyuan County. I don’t know when she could rescue her. I hope she won’t have any trouble.
Otherwise...
A look of ruthlessness flashed in Xiao Chu's eyes, otherwise his hatred with the Three Gods Sect would have been completely formed at this time.
Outside Zhengjia Village, it was extremely quiet at this time without any slight turmoil.
Xiao Chu and Xiao Chang'an galloped over the entrance of the village, without hesitation, and went straight towards the Xiao family compound.
Not long after, the carriage heard the door of the Xiao family courtyard, and a strong knocking sounded.
The person who walked out to open the door was Xiao Chu's eldest uncle Xiao Changfu. When he saw Xiao Chu and his son, Xiao Changfu was shocked and asked, "Third brother? Chu'er? Why are you two here?"
Xiao Changfu was a little puzzled. In his impression, Xiao Chang'an and Xiao Chu should be in Huaiyuan Province now. It is said that the poetry competition they participated in was the most valuable event in the entire province, and only the outstanding talents in Chongming Prefecture
Only those who are qualified to participate. However, Xiao Changan did not understand why the father and son appeared here now.
"Uncle, it's not convenient to talk here, let's go into the house and talk." Xiao Chu pulled Xiao Changfu and headed into the yard.
Xiao Chang'an was behind, tied the carriage and followed it directly into the yard.
In the living room of Xiao family, Xiao Changfu, Xiao Changan and Xiao Chu were sitting among them. Except for Xiao Changfu, the other two faced each other a bit serious.
This made Xiao Changfu a little confused. He couldn't figure out what the father and son were doing, but when he saw their harsh expressions, he felt a little nervous.
"Uncle, today, a major incident happened in Dingyuan County. The bandits caused chaos and occupied the county town. Now the entire city gate has been closed, and even the county magistrate Chen may be killed by the evil person!
"Xiao Chu had a serious expression and said to Xiao Changfu.
Just when Xiao Changfu heard this, he was shocked, his eyes full of disbelief, "The thief is causing trouble? How is this possible?"
Then Xiao Changfu looked at the direction where Xiao Changan was, as if he wanted to verify the correctness of the message.
Xiao Changan nodded, with a little more painful look on his face.
Seeing this action, Xiao Changfu's mood suddenly became sank. You know, their Xiao family is all in the county town. If there are really thieves who cause trouble, wouldn't they be very dangerous now?
"No, we have to find a way to save them now. Let's go now. I'm going to fight against those thieves." Xiao Changfu's tone was full of anger, and he wanted to get up when he acted, but he was stopped by Xiao Chang'an.
Go down.
"Brother, it's useless even if you go back now. The gate of the county town has been closed by thieves. Now everyone can't get in or out!" Xiao Changan said with a feeling of loss on his face.
As soon as this statement was said, Xiao Changfu became even more dull, and the worry emanated from his eyes became stronger. If this was the case, wouldn’t the Xiao family be in danger?
For a moment, Xiao Changfu was at a loss and stood there in a daze and didn't know what to say.
"Third brother, now that my father and the others are trapped, we must try to rescue us when we are outside. The longer we drag it, the greater the danger they will be. Otherwise, let's report to the official!" Xiao Changfu thought for a while, and then said.
Xiao Chu shook his head and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I believe that Chongming Prefecture has received news of the rebellion of Dingyuan County. It will take not long to take action. We are here to find you today, just want to
Notify you of this news to prevent you from returning to Dingyuan County without knowing it and being in danger.”
Xiao Chu's tone was full of calmness, and then added: "Uncle, there is one thing you don't have to worry too much. Xiao Cheng and Xiao Lin have escaped with Mr. Chen from the private school. Now they have already
Going towards Chongming Mansion, they are safe now. Perhaps Grandpa and the others escaped with everyone, but we don’t know yet.”
Xiao Chu's tone was plain and said to Xiao Changfu that theoretically, this possibility is not ruled out, but when there is no confirmation of the news, they still have to try their best to find a way to rescue them. Passive waiting is never an effective method.
"Then what should we do now?" Xiao Changfu looked at Xiao Chu and asked tentatively.
"We will leave here now to avoid the thieves reaching their hands to Zhengjia Village. It should be safe to go to Chongming Prefecture. The court should send troops to solve the problem here. If we want to rely on our strength, it will be difficult to get along with that group of thieves.
Confrontation." Xiao Chu said to Xiao Changfu in a serious tone.
However, Xiao Changfu was obviously surprised and asked, "Leave here? What should we do with our Xiao family's breeding farm? Do you want it?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chu shook his head and said, "No, our most important task now is to rescue grandpa and the others. As long as people are safe, the family business will be profitable in the future."
Xiao Changfu frowned. The Xiao family came from hard days, and it was obvious that he cherished these things very much now.
"When I talked about this, I remembered something. A boss named Qian came to the farm two days ago. He said he wanted to buy our farm. He showed me the price of 100 silver. Based on our farm,
The current scale is at least worth 500 taels of silver, so I decisively rejected that person." Xiao Changfu said.
"However, before leaving, the man left a sentence, saying that I would agree at that time, and even begged him to buy it." Xiao Changfu said in confusion with confusion.
Now that Xiao Changfu has to give up the farm directly, he is really unwilling to accept it. If he had known that this would happen earlier, it would be better to sell him early, and he would have at least 100 taels of silver.
After listening to Xiao Changfu's words, Xiao Chu showed a sense of doubt. What the man said before leaving was obviously something in his words. Did this person know in advance that such a thing would happen? Or
, This person is simply colluding with the thieves of the Three Gods Cults.
Xiao Chu thought about it for a while but didn't come up with any results.
"Well, just give up. As long as the Xiao family members can be safe, the business will come back in the future." Xiao Changfu said decisively.
"Okay, brother, then you clean up now and let's leave here together." Xiao Changan said slowly with a look of confidence in his tone.
Xiao Changfu nodded, then returned to the room to clean up, and then the three of them wanted to leave directly.
However, just as the three of them were about to set off, they suddenly remembered a knock on the door.
"Open the door, open the door, is there anyone?"
Xiao Changfu put down the package and walked to the front yard to open the door for the visitor.
With a "squeak", the door of the Xiao family opened.
"Oh, isn't this Boss Xiao? You're so arrogant. You just opened the door like this. Obviously, I'm not welcomed by someone Qian." The person who came was Boss Qian, who looked at Xiao Changfu and smiled without a smile.
Said.
Xiao Changfu also clearly felt that Boss Qian Lian Pang's unkind smile, but out of politeness, he still said to the man: "Boss Qian, please come in."
Hearing this, Boss Qian waved his hand, and two men dressed up behind him followed Boss Qian and walked into the yard.
"Boss Xiao, your farm is quite large. The pigs in nearby villages have gathered in your house. There are so many sheep. Tsk, it's such a big industry." Boss Qian sighed and looked at Xiao Changfu.
Admired.
"Boss Qian has been awarded, and we are just supporting our family!" Xiao Changfu said slowly, and then invited Boss Qian into the living room.
Walking into the living room, Boss Qian glanced at the living room casually, and then said, "Well? Boss Xiao, are there customers coming from home?"
Seeing Xiao Changan and Xiao Chu in the living room, Boss Qian asked slowly, but he had some guesses about the identities of these two people. Xiao Changan in front of him had some similarities with Xiao Changfu between his eyebrows and eyes, and this
As a child, it should be the son of this man.
"Haha, this is my younger brother Chang'an, and my niece Xiao Chu." Xiao Changfu introduced to Boss Qian.
Then he looked at Xiao Chu and Xiao Changan and said, "This is Boss Qian. I mentioned to you before that the boss of my Xiao family farm is going to purchase."
After hearing this, Xiao Chu's eyes lit up, and then he glanced at Boss Qian. He saw that he was obese and had a little dark skin, with a long beard, and was cooperating with the flesh on his face.
It gives people a feeling of discomfort. Xiao Chu sighed in his heart. Even if he is the boss, he will definitely be a profiteer.
"It turns out it's Boss Xiao's younger brother, so I'm disrespectful." Boss Qian smiled, a sinister look on his face, and he said slowly.
"Boss Qian is polite." Xiao Changan said to Boss Qian. He is a standard scholar and follows the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. Although he is a little disliked by Boss Qian, the etiquette between treating others must be ignored.
"I wonder what happened to Boss Qian this time?" Xiao Changfu said to the point, without any intention of dragging it out, and asked Boss Qian.
Now, Xiao Changfu has made plans. Even if the boss of Qian wants to buy the farm for 100 taels, he will sell it to him. After all, he will leave and will never be able to get a little money.
It's much better.
When Boss Qian heard Xiao Changfu's words, he smiled heartily, and then said to Xiao Changfu: "Boss Xiao is quick and easy. It's true that he is a person who does big things. Qian admires it."
After speaking, Boss Qian's face shook and smiled, but it gave people the feeling that it was extremely treacherous.
"I'm here this time. I, Mr. Qian, have no other ideas, but I just want to talk to you about our business." Boss Qian said to Xiao Changfu with a little smile.
It reveals a sarcastic spirit.
Xiao Changfu obviously had the intention of Boss Qian. Between the lines, he obviously wanted to acquire the Xiao family's pig farm. Then Xiao Changfu made a decision. Since they were all leaving, he would naturally give some.
It's much better than having to get nothing after leaving.
"I wonder how much money Boss Qian can pay?" Xiao Changfu asked seriously in a tone.
"Haha, is Boss Xiao confused?" Boss Qian was not polite either. He smiled, stood up, walked around the living room, and looked back and forth.
"Boss Qian, the 100 taels of silver is indeed a little less. If you give more, my Xiao family's farm will be sold to you directly." Xiao Changfu's tone was full of affirmation, it was obvious that this was coming.
He was determined. He wanted to win more benefits for himself within the scope of possible circumstances. After all, one or two more silver would be considered useless.
Xiao Changan also heard the meaning in his elder brother's tone, sighed softly, and remained silent. It would be enough for the elder brother to decide on this matter.
Xiao Chu stood there and fell into thinking.
He always feels that this matter is not simple now. A few days ago, the boss of Qian came to ask for a purchase and offered a low price that was simply impossible. After being rejected, he even put down those harsh words.
Today is the day when the thieves in the Three Gods Cult are in trouble, but this boss Qian happened to come to them to discuss with them again about the acquisition of the breeding farm.
Could it be that all these things are coincidental?
Xiao Chu shook his head silently in his heart. It was obvious that all this was not a coincidence.
Just as Xiao Chu decided on his own thoughts in his heart, Boss Qian's voice verified his judgment.
Boss Qian smiled and said, "One hundred taels? Boss Xiao, you are probably thinking too much."
