If he hadn't snatched his secret box in the first place, how could so many things have happened later?
But after the hatred, Li Jing felt a hint of fear from the bottom of his heart.
Tongzhou Mansion is such a big place, and it is impossible to hide any major or minor incidents. He already knew what Chu Xiu had done during this period.
The second son of the Chu family, who was originally regarded as a waste, has done very surprising things during this period. He is even said by the outside world to be the only young disciple among the four younger generations of the Chu family who can rival the three tigers of the Li family.
Anyway, Chu Xiu's status is not comparable to his. What happened last time also made him clearly realize the reality that servants are always servants. Even if he has Master Li San behind him, as long as he
Once he fell out of favor, his status was even lower than that of the lowest-ranking servant of the Li family.
Chu Xiu looked at Li Jing's nervous and fearful look. He asked someone to close the door, pointed to the chair on the table and said lightly: "Sit down."
Seeing Li Jing sit down slowly, Chu Xiu didn't urge him. He just chewed peanuts and took a sip of the rice wine in the cup from time to time. Until the atmosphere was depressing to the extreme, he said lightly: "You are now
Do you hate me very much?"
Li Jing lowered his head and said nothing. Chu Xiu ignored him and said in a deep voice: "You should hate me. I can also see that you are not a person who is willing to live an ordinary life. But I heard that since that incident
You are having a very bad time."
Li Jing smiled bitterly and said: "Isn't this a gift from you, Mr. Chu Xiu? At present, Mr. Chu Xiu is an outstanding disciple of the younger generation of the Chu family. I am just a subordinate of the Li family who has lost power. Even if you want to kill Mr. Chu Xiu now,
I, I guess even the Li family will not stand up for me."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said: "You can see clearly that the most important thing for a person is to recognize his own position. It's a pity that many people can't recognize this. You were the same before, but you have made some progress now than before."
Li Jing looked at Chu Xiu in confusion. He originally thought that Chu Xiu wanted to take revenge on him, but now he saw that it was not the case.
And if you think about it carefully, if Chu Xiu really wanted to take revenge on him, he wouldn't have been able to survive in Yuanbao Town. So why did he find him today?
Li Jing was wondering when Chu Xiu, who was opposite him, threw out a booklet and said calmly: "The Chu family's secret technique, Man Niu Jin, is a first-level internal strength. Although the level is a bit lower, it is very effective in tempering the muscles, bones, qi and blood."
The effect is good, at least it can help you get started in martial arts."
With that said, Chu Xiu threw out another pack of medicinal powder and a bottle of elixir and said: "Ten portions of Qi Bu Powder, you should have heard the name, but with the monthly money of the Li family, you can afford it in a year.
Just one serving.
What’s in the bottle are three blood coagulation pills. You can tell what they mean by the name. Given your status, these are good things that even money can’t buy.”
Looking at the three things on the table, Li Jing's eyes widened, with a look of longing in his eyes.
For ordinary warriors, these things are very ordinary, but for a servant like Li Jing who has only learned some ordinary boxing and kicking skills and has just stepped into the body tempering realm, these things are an opportunity for him to truly become a warrior.
opportunity!
Chu Xiu pushed these three things towards Li Jing and said in a deep voice: "I want Li Zhao's route for his next business trip, as well as his ability to lead the team. The more detailed the better, it must be done the day before he sets off.
tell me."
Li Jing suddenly trembled when he heard this. He suddenly remembered something. The third young master seemed to have had a conflict with Chu Xiu yesterday. Although he didn't know the details, it seemed that the two parties had made a move.
Considering Chu Xiu's actions now, it seems that it is not difficult to guess what he wants to do.
The corners of Li Jing's mouth moved and he said with difficulty: "But..."
"No buts!"
Chu Xiu interrupted Li Jing's words rudely and pushed the Yan Ling Dao in his hand forward to line up with the Kung Fu elixir.
"You only have one chance, and you only have one right to choose!"
Li Jing gritted his teeth and without saying a word, he hurriedly put the technique and elixir in his arms and staggered out of the inn.
Ma Kuo walked out of the room next to him, grabbed a handful of peanuts from Chu Xiu's plate and stuffed it into his mouth without anyone seeing him. While chewing, he asked: "Mr. Chu, how do you know that this guy will definitely do it? Wan
What will happen if he leaks the matter to the Li family?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "People's ambitions are very scary. Although Li Jing is a servant, he is definitely not the kind of master who is willing to submit to others. He has no loyalty to the Li family at all. I
The thing given to him is a reason for him to leave the Li family, or to betray the Li family."
Ma Kuo shook his head in confusion: "People's hearts are really complicated. I was just an ordinary cowherd boy in Dai County, Beidi. My biggest wish in this life was to eat beef.
If a bunch of bastards hadn't killed my cattle and forced me to lose my way of living, how could I have gone up the mountain to become a bandit?
But it’s not bad, now I can eat beef whenever I want, and I’m getting tired of it.”
Chu Xiu pushed the remaining peanuts to Ma Kuo, walked out with a knife, and said calmly: "It's the same truth. There are only two pursuits in this life, eating meat and eating better meat.
"
Ma Kuo touched his head and felt that Chu Xiu was talking a little too eloquently, but then Chu Xiu suddenly said: "By the way, since you said you are tired of eating beef, then I will tell the restaurant owner that you don't have to give it to you every day."
Here comes the beef with soy sauce."
Ma Kuo's face suddenly fell and he said quickly: "Mr. Chu Xiu, I'm joking, but don't take it seriously! How can you find the strength to kill people from the Li family if you don't eat meat?"
……………………
After nightfall, in the Li family's mansion, Li Zhao proudly said to his eldest brother and second brother: "I just said that this matter is not a big deal. It has become a habit for the Chu family to fight among themselves. We are dragging them there."
Our own people will not care about us."
Li Yun, the second eldest son of the Li family, suddenly said: "By the way, third brother, I heard that you fought against that Chu Xiu? And you lost?"
Li Zhao's face turned gloomy, and he nodded and said: "We are defeated. Then Chu Xiu is a bit evil. Judging from his strength, he should be at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, but his strength is surprisingly high.
And his sword skills are also very strange, ferocious and ruthless, and he doesn't give me a chance to fight back at all, and I feel that he hasn't used all his strength yet. Anyway, Chu Xiu needs to pay attention to this. The Chu family has a lot of waste.
To think that this most useless person actually changed his mind after taking a trip to the Nanshan Mining Area."
Li Cheng thought for a moment and said, "When you leave for Yan State tomorrow, ask Uncle Zhong to go with you."
In the past, when the Li family was at its most powerful, it was much stronger than the Chu family. There were six disciples who had reached the blood coagulation realm.
It's a pity that the head of the Li family's hometown died later, and many of his followers fled, leaving only one loyal uncle left.
This is because Uncle Zhong was besieged by bandits and was seriously injured, but it was the head of the Li family who saved him. Therefore, he was grateful for the life-saving grace of the Li family and became the chief steward of the Li family. He also changed his name to Li Zhong.
Even in the most difficult moments of our family, we never leave.
Li Zhao was surprised and said: "No need, now there are rules in Shangmang Mountain. As long as you pay the toll, you can go there. Why don't you ask Uncle Zhong to come with me?"
Li Chengdao: "Listen to me, just to be on the safe side."
Hearing what his elder brother said, Li Zhao did not continue to argue. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go get someone ready and decide on the route for tomorrow."
After Li Zhao had arranged the specific matters for the merchants with the caravan, Li Jing, who was huddled at the back of the crowd, had a gloomy look in his eyes.
"Third Young Master, don't blame me. If you had been willing to stand up for me, I wouldn't have come to this point!
……………………
In Chu Xiu's courtyard, Gao Bei took the information secretly sent by Li Jing and said with a sad face: "Master, let's just forget it this time. The Li family is too strong. There are a hundred merchants this time."
, are all the elites of the Li family’s caravan, and among them is Li Zhong, the chief steward of the Li family, who is a warrior in the blood coagulation realm.”
Ma Kuo took the information and took a look at it, and sneered: "You kid, can you please stop being such a coward? Learn more from your young master. You only need to learn 10% from your young master, and it will be enough for you for the rest of your life."
After mocking Gao Bei, Ma Kuo turned to Chu Xiu and said: "Mr. Chu, I will deal with the Li family's caravan for you. Although there are only a few dozen brothers under me, almost all of them have seen blood.
In Beiyan's battle with the regular army of the Beiyan court, he did not lose at all, and he had no problem dealing with the hundreds of people from the Li family's caravan.
Now it’s up to you. Although the chief steward of the Li family is in the blood coagulation realm, the gap between body tempering and blood coagulation is not that big. So how can a steward of the Li family be better than Ding Kaishan, the founder of the martial arts school?
Is the old man still strong?"
There was a cold light in Chu Xiu's eyes. In fact, even Ding Kaishan had the confidence to fight him. Of course, the chance of victory was very small. He only had one sword in his sleeve, Qinglong, and the sword failed to hurt him. Chu Xiu most likely
There's no chance.
In the past few months of practicing martial arts, Chu Xiu also gained some insights.
Martial arts is inherently a killing technique. How can we make progress without relying on fighting? His cheap father Chu Zongguang, who has been in seclusion for more than ten years, has not come up with any tricks.
Knocking the scabbard on the table, Chu Xiu said coldly: "The plan is as usual. We will leave the city in the early morning to rob and kill the Li family's caravan!"
