ps: I have to attend a friend’s wedding today, so I’ll update early.
The Li family really does not dare to cause trouble now. They are afraid that the Chu family will choose to destroy their Li family at this time, and even the burials of Li Zhao and Li Zhong are extremely low-key.
After waiting for more than ten days, there was no real action from the Chu family, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
In the lobby, Li Yun and Li Cheng were sitting in the middle, both with gloomy expressions on their faces, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it seemed like it could drip water.
Li Zhao is dead, and Li Zhong is also dead. The Chu family seems as if this incident has never happened, and they don't want to do anything to them as if they are giving alms, but the Li family can't swallow this breath!
At this moment, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old suddenly walked in from outside the hall. He walked in, cautiously raised his hands to Li Cheng and Li Yunyi and said, "Big brother, second brother."
Li Yunyi frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"
Li Cheng glared at Li Yun, forced a smile on his face and said, "Aze, what can I do for you?"
The young man lowered his head and said: "Eldest brother, second brother, and third brother have already gone, but my Li family is not empty, so I also want to come out and lead my Li family's caravan to visit Yan country again."
Li Yun showed a hint of sneer, and Li Cheng said warmly: "Aze, you are still young now. We can support the Li family enough. Your task now is to practice. Only by improving your cultivation can you come."
Help us.
Go back and practice hard, don't worry, the Li family will not collapse."
Li Ze opened his mouth and was about to say that Li Zhao was also eighteen and led the caravan when he was nine, but he swallowed the words as soon as he reached his lips and just cupped his hands to the two of them and said: "Brother,
Second brother, I’m going down.”
When Li Ze left, Li Yun sneered disdainfully and said: "What the hell! Does he think that he can replace the third brother after his third brother is dead? The three tigers of the Li family, even if the third brother is gone, they don't have him."
Location!"
When people in Tongzhou Prefecture talk about the younger generation of the Li family, they will refer to Li Zhao and others as the three tigers of the Li family. In fact, the head of the Li family has four sons just like Chu Zongguang.
It's just that Li Zhao and the other three are from the same mother, and the youngest Li Ze was born by a concubine, so he was naturally rejected by the three of them.
Li Cheng glared at Li Yun and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Aze is our fourth brother no matter what."
Li Yun sneered and said: "I don't admit that he is my fourth brother. Look, how long has it been since the third brother died, and he jumped out to demand power? He really thought he was a loser!
Big brother, I'm afraid that in the end you will treat him as a brother, but he will not treat you as a brother."
Li Cheng waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. What do you mean by the feud between the third brother and Uncle Zhong?"
As soon as Li Cheng said this, Li Yun's face suddenly showed a ferocious look and said: "Of course I will retaliate!"
Li Cheng said solemnly: "But if you want to take revenge, you can't directly seek revenge from the Chu family. With the current strength of my Li family, going to the Chu family for revenge is like trying to block the car with my arms."
Li Yun frowned and said: "If you don't move the Chu family, how can you move Chu Xiu? It's impossible for Chu Zongguang to watch his son being killed. Brother, if you have any plans, just tell me and I will do it."
Among the three brothers of the Li family, the eldest Li Cheng is the calmest, while Li Yun has a hot temper. But because of this, the younger Li Yun is actually stronger than Li Chengqiang. Most of the time in the Li family, Li Cheng comes to make suggestions and Li Yun executes them.
.
Li Cheng said with a gloomy face: "In fact, we are not the only ones who want Chu Xiu to die. There are even more people in the Chu family who want him to die. How did the third brother have a grudge against Chu Xiu? Isn't it just because of the Chu family?
fight!
Now we want to seek revenge on Chu Xiu, and Ding Kaishan's daughter, the second lady of the Chu family, will definitely be very interested.
At present, Chu Xiu is not living in the Chu family's mansion. As long as the second wife of the Chu family can help us detain the messenger at the critical moment and prevent the Chu family from knowing that we have done something to Chu Xiu, with the two of us and the entire Li family, what can we do?
Can’t you still kill a Chu Xiu?”
Li Yun's eyes suddenly lit up. What Li Cheng said was reasonable. As long as the second wife of the Chu family was willing to cooperate, could all the strength of the Li family be combined to deal with Chu Xiu?
You must know that there are only a few dozen people under Chu Xiu's command, and if the Li family finds all the servants and clan members who have reached the Body Tempering Realm, there will be hundreds of them!
Li Cheng said to Li Yun: "Go find Ding Kaishan now and ask him to send a message to the second wife of the Chu family and ask him if he is willing to help my Li family. I am sure that she will agree with 90% certainty."
of.
I want to go to the Shen family and meet Shen Rong, the chief steward of the Shen family."
Li Yun frowned and said, "Why are you going to Shen's house?"
Li Cheng sighed: "Even if Chu Zongguang didn't stop us, we could kill Chu Xiu smoothly, but Chu Xiu is Chu Zongguang's biological son after all. Even for the sake of face, Chu Zongguang couldn't let Chu Xiu die in vain.
Therefore, my Li family will definitely be retaliated by the Chu family. Right now, in Tongzhou Prefecture, the only one who can save us is the Shen family."
After being silent for a long time, Li Yun finally said: "What price do you need to pay?"
Li Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Half of the entire Li family's fortune!"
"What!?"
Li Yun stood up fiercely: "Brother, are you crazy?"
Li Cheng closed his eyes and said: "My Li family has reached this point. If we don't be more ruthless, I'm afraid Shen Rong won't agree. Moreover, Shen Rong himself is also a greedy person. Rather than bargaining with him, it's better to do it once and for all."
Feed him.
This Butler Shen is average in strength and ability, but he used to be an old servant who served Shen Bai and Shen Mo. His status in the Shen family is very high. He has the ability to keep my Li family.
Moreover, after giving away half of the family property, my Li family has lost the qualification to be on an equal footing with the Shen family, and has just completely surrendered to the Shen family and become its vassal, so that we can continue to survive in Tongzhou Prefecture.
Don’t feel aggrieved, even if an ordinary small family wants to be a vassal of the Shen family, the Shen family may not accept it."
Li Yun also remained silent. In the past, when the Li family was the most powerful, they could be equal to the Shen family, but now they have to be a vassal of the Shen family. This feeling is not pleasant.
Li Chengdao: "Okay, the matter is settled as it is for the time being. Prepare now, otherwise things will change later."
Li Yun nodded and the two of them left together, but neither of them noticed that in the dark corner of the Li family's house, Li Ze looked at the backs of the two people with a sinister look in his eyes.
At this time, in the Chu family's restaurant, Chu Xiu chose a private room near the window, ordered some food and drinks with Ma Kuo, and chatted while drinking.
Usually Chu Xiu is not so free, but he has just come out of seclusion. He has not even seen the sun for more than ten days, so now he can relax a bit.
At this time, the shopkeeper of the restaurant personally brought a shiny red roasted chicken and placed it on Chu Xiu's table. He smiled and said: "Second Young Master, this is a golden pheasant from the barren mountains of Liaodong in the north. It eats pine nuts and drinks snow."
It grows in water and has delicious meat. Because it is very fast, it is difficult for even some experienced hunters to hunt it, so it is also called flying dragon. The so-called dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground. This dragon meat refers to the flying dragon meat.
It just so happened that a Yan Kingdom caravan brought a few of them two days ago, and I specially left them for you, Second Young Master."
Ma Kuo's eyes lit up across from him, and he tore off a thigh and gnawed on it. While chewing, he muttered: "Yes, that's the taste! I haven't eaten it for a long time since I left the Northland."
The restaurant owner glared at Ma Kuo. He had never seen such an unruly servant. The second young master hasn't even used his chopsticks yet, so you should do it first.
Chu Xiu waved his hand casually and said: "Okay, go down, I accept your kindness."
Hearing what Chu Xiu said, the shopkeeper showed a hint of joy.
Chu Xiu tore off a piece of chicken and tasted it. It tasted really good and extremely delicious.
But just when he was about to share the flying dragon meat with Ma Kuo, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old opened the door and walked in, with a smile on his face and said: "
Mr. Chu Xiu, do you still want to eat and drink here? Do you know that you are about to be in trouble?"
Hearing what the young man said, Ma Kuo had a half-smile on his face while chewing the chicken leg, while Chu Xiu patted the Yan Ling knife on his table and said lightly: "Those who have strength,
Talking in a pretentious manner is called profound, but speaking without strength is called seeking death!"
As soon as the words fell, Chu Xiu's eyes suddenly showed a violent murderous intent, making the young man in front of him who had never seen blood immediately take a step back in fear.
There was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes, but he stopped trying to be mysterious. Instead, he closed the door, sat next to Chu Xiu, raised his hands to Chu Xiu and said, "I'm Li Ze, the Li family."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "A collateral branch of the Li family?"
Li Ze's eyes showed a trace of anger and said: "He is a direct descendant! I am the fourth son of the Li family!"
Chu Xiu patted his head and then remembered that there seemed to be such a person in the Li family.
However, Li Ze's sense of presence is too low. Outsiders always talk about the three tigers of the Li family and so on. As they talk, they naturally ignore Li Ze.
Chu Xiu nodded casually and said: "I remembered it, tell me, what are you planning to do today?"
Li Ze looked at Chu Xiu and said in a deep voice: "I came here just to tell you some news, Mr. Chu Xiu. My eldest brother and second brother are now planning to kill you!"
