Twenty-three days of grace

Xu Wei was restrained by Chen Su's ice, and he vomited two mouthfuls of blood because his internal organs were greatly oppressed. At this moment, he no longer dared to doubt that if he persisted, the other party would really kill him, but this person spoke

It only costs five hundred gold coins, which makes him feel painful, "You... five hundred gold coins, I promise you, please let me go!"

"Hmph!" Chen Su snorted disdainfully, "You are willing to use five hundred gold coins to redeem your life now, don't you think it's too late? I just said, if you don't have one thousand gold coins, you will die!"

The strength in Chen Su's hand increased, and Xu Wei howled in pain, "I...I promise you, just let me go!" Chen Su's eyes narrowed slightly, and he hesitated for a moment. It seemed that Xu Wei

He should have already known how powerful he was, and then with a wave of his left palm, the ice that bound Xu Wei slowly shattered. Xu Wei's pressure eased, he closed his eyes and gasped for air, but at this time

He had already suffered serious injuries. If Chen Su had been more ruthless just now, his life would have been sealed.

Xu Wei leaned against the wall and gasped for a long time before slowly opening his eyes and said intermittently: "One thousand gold coins, I don't have that much in my hand. If you insist on this number, at least you have to ask for it."

Give me five days."

"What, this is your Xu family goods store, you said you have no money?" Chen Su scolded, he will leave for Moji City in three days, how can he delay here? "I think you haven't suffered enough.

Are you deliberately trying to trick me?"

"No, no, I would never dare." Xu Wei endured the severe pain and shook his head repeatedly, "Although this is the Xu family's store, the money is controlled by the city lord's cronies. I really can't afford so much at the same time.

Come."

"In that case, I'll give you three days!" When Chen Su said three days, Xu Wei's eyes flashed with an imperceptible cruelty, "Three days?" He hesitated for a moment, "Three days."

It depends on the day, but I can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to meet this number.”

"Hmph!" Chen Su shouted angrily, "It doesn't matter if we can't get it all done." As he said that, he waved his palm towards the pine tree not far away. A layer of ice suddenly formed on the trunk, and as he shook his palm

, the ice collapsed, and with a loud cracking sound, even the tree trunk that could be hugged by one person was broken. Chen Su said fiercely: "If we don't get it right, this is what will happen!"

Xu Wei looked at the broken pine tree and shrank his head in fear, "I'll do my best to get a thousand gold coins."

Although Xu Wei agreed, Chen Su still left a sentence when he turned to leave, "I advise you not to play any tricks. What can be solved with a thousand gold coins, I don't want it to be doubled again."

, you should be able to understand what I mean." After Chen Su said that, he walked away, leaving Xu Wei leaning against the corner and staring blankly at the young man's back.

Chen Su walked out of the Xu's Store and came to the street. It was just getting dark and there were very few people on the street. He identified the direction and walked forward along the road, but he heard Huo Yuan'er say in a deep voice: "

Boy, couldn't you see that the old man was just delaying the attack?"

Chen Su's footsteps did not stop, "How about a delaying strategy, you should tell me."

"It's very simple. He wants five days from you. He's not raising money at all, but looking for helpers to deal with you. His store is much bigger than the Xi family's store. Shopkeeper Xi will do it

It only takes one night to get five hundred gold coins, but it takes five days for him to get one thousand gold coins. Don’t you think there’s something strange here?”

"Then what should I do?" Chen Su raised his head and looked at the rising sun in the east. In fact, he already knew Xu Wei's trick. At this time, Huo Yuan'er broke it. He also wanted to hear Huo Yuan'er's trick.

opinion.

"How to do it?" Huo Yuan'er paused for a moment, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, "If you just want money, go back now. Since he is a merchant, he must have some valuable things for you to take.

Run away, and from now on we will walk half way to the sky with him, but if you are determined to take their lives, you can also kill them all." When Huo Yuan'er said this, he stopped to look at Chen Su's reaction, but Chen Su said one sentence

He didn't say anything, but waited for a moment before asking: "Is there any other way?"

"Other ways?" Huo Yuan'er was obviously taken aback, "Other ways can only be thought of by yourself, but I don't think it is a wise choice for you to stop and wait for him for three days. The man also said before,

They are protected by some city lord, and they also have masters in the Danyuan realm. Although you may not be afraid of such enemies now, I still think you should not make too much noise and attract too many people's attention to your revenge plan.

There’s no benefit.”

Huo Yuan'er was right, he had indeed thought about this matter, but since Xu Wei said that he was working for the Beizhu Palace, he also wanted to take this opportunity to see what the Beizhu Palace was like, because sooner or later he would

To compete with this huge force, "Huo Yuan, actually I want to know what kind of helper he can find, because I will rush to Moji City in a few days..."

"Since you are going to Moji City soon, I don't think you should offend the city lord's power at this time. Your idea of ​​taking the opportunity to understand their strength is good, but it is not smart to make enemies with them. You

Have you ever thought about how difficult it would be to get rid of them if he doesn't want to expose yourself if he really finds some helpers?"

"You mean, kill them all?" Chen Su couldn't help but frown. Although he wanted to teach Xu Wei and others a lesson, so far, he has not had any real intention to kill. "If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that even

Dao Scarlong, Shopkeeper Xi and others must all be put to death, otherwise I will still be exposed."

Huo Yuan'er sighed, "Since you don't understand what I mean, then you can do whatever you want. My words are just a suggestion. It's up to you to decide what to do." After that, Huo Yuan'er said nothing.

Chen Su walked along the road and soon came to the inn where he was staying. At this time, the innkeeper had just opened the door. When he saw him coming back from outside, he couldn't help but be shocked. He was so frightened that the waiter shrank and ran into the inn.

Chen Su was confused, why did she scare him like this yesterday? Chen Su smiled and shook his head, walked in the door, and only took a few steps when he saw the shopkeeper coming out of the back hall with a curtain.

Chen Su's expression also became obviously unnatural, "Guest... Guest, are you back?" He said it as if he knew that Chen Su was out.

Chen Su frowned slightly and looked at the shopkeeper. His originally dark skin looked even darker now, "Shopkeeper, do you know if I went out last night?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper stuttered and said: "No...no, I just sent people to deliver some food to the guests this morning, and they replied that you were no longer in the backyard. That's when I found out."

Chen Su looked at the shopkeeper doubtfully, "So, you should know everything about what happened in the courtyard?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm sorry for being clumsy, but I don't know what you are referring to?"

Chen Su laughed. Seeing his surprised expression and guilty expression from the shopkeeper, Chen Su knew that even if what happened last night was not directly related to him, it must be related to it, "It's nothing. I'll pay the price for your things that were damaged."

The compensation is, now I want to go back and rest."

"My guest, please come in and there is no need to pay compensation. I have asked someone to repair the damaged things. However, the guest cannot live in that room at the moment, so I ask you to make do with it in another courtyard for the time being.

"

"That's okay." Chen Su smiled meaningfully at the shopkeeper and walked towards the back hall. After taking a few steps, he seemed to have remembered something and looked back at the shopkeeper who bowed to him, "I live in your shop.

I don’t know who released the news inside, but I like to be quiet. If anyone comes to disturb me again, I will ask the shopkeeper to help them collect the corpses, and I will no longer deliver them out myself!"

"I understand." At this time, the shopkeeper's forehead was already dripping with sweat. He already roughly knew what happened last night. The four people who came to provoke had been easily dismissed by Chen Su. How could he dare to go beyond that?

Watching Chen Su walk into the back hall, he quickly called a waiter and asked him to take Chen Su to another courtyard to rest, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The waiter took Chen Su to another small courtyard. Unexpectedly, this shop looked inconspicuous from the outside, but the backyard was very spacious. There were at least a dozen such independent courtyards, and this time the shopkeeper gave

The place arranged by Chen Su is much more spacious than the previous courtyard, and the house is also different from before. Not only the windows are bright and clean, but there are four rooms inside and outside. The furnishings in the house are antique, and the table is even smelled of sandalwood. Put Chen Su

After being sent to the room, the waiter respectfully withdrew, and Chen Su fell on the bed. He was a little tired after noisy for most of the night, so he simply rested here with his clothes on. Unexpectedly, he slept for most of the day.

, when he opened his eyes, the sun was already a bit westward, the shadows of the trees in the small courtyard were dancing, and from time to time, birds landed on the branches and chirped non-stop. Chen Su then stood up and opened the door, stood at the door and stretched.

, look at the time, now it’s time to go to the Xi family’s old house to get his gold coins.

Chen Su stepped out and the shopkeepers all nodded and bowed when they saw him, which made him uncomfortable. He left the inn and went straight to the Xi family's old shop. When he arrived at the shop, the shopkeeper Xi Zhengnian had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Chen Su coming in,

He immediately greeted Chen Su with a smile, "Sir, I have been waiting for you for a while." After saying that, he took out a heavy gray cloth bag from the counter and placed it in front of Chen Su, and said softly: "Sir, this is

The gold coins you want have been prepared for you."
