In the tavern, there were many merchants and some traveling warriors eating and resting here. It was raining heavily outside. They disliked the bad weather and were too lazy to go on their way.
At this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and more than ten warriors walked in.
The person at the front was very young, dressed as if he were a young master from aristocratic families. This man was Tao Yi, the eldest son of the Tao family in Shanyang Prefecture. A steward in his forties next to him frowned and said: "Young Master, let's go again.
We arrived at Shanyang Mansion in one day, it would be great if we went back to the mansion to rest, the few herbs purchased from Wei County will not be exposed to the rain."
Tao Yi had an impatient expression on his face: "What nonsense, I've been wet for several days anyway, and this day is not enough. From Wei Jun to Shanyang Mansion, how many days have I been able to have hot meals? Anyway, my master
I can't stand it.
Father, if you have to go to Wei County to buy some herbs this season, you can just buy them directly in Qingyuan Town. If you have to go all the way to Wei County, how much money can you save?"
Originally, this tavern was not big, but now so many people came in, it immediately felt a lot more crowded, and some even couldn't sit down.
Tao Yi frowned and yelled at the warrior on Chu Xiu's side: "You guys, all of you, get out of my way and get out!"
Tao Yi's overbearing behavior made several other Jianghu people show a look of anger in their eyes. Even if someone was about to explode, they were immediately restrained and said a few words in his ear, clarifying Tao Yi's intentions.
Identity, this made those Jianghu people give up and could only prepare to leave obediently.
They couldn't afford to offend the young master of the Tao family, the largest family in Shanyang Mansion.
There was a cold glint in Chu Xiu's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He ate a few bites in a hurry and prepared to leave.
There is no need to argue with a little person who can be crushed to death by oneself. If his whereabouts are exposed because of a lesson, then it is not worth it.
But at this time, Tao Yi saw that Chu Xiu's movements were a little slow. He was already a little impatient. He snorted coldly, walked over directly, slapped the bamboo hat off Chu Xiu's head, and scolded: "Get out of here."
Didn’t you hear me when you went out? You’re so busy, do you still want me to invite you out?”
The moment the bamboo hat was thrown away, Tao Yi saw Chu Xiu's darkened face. He didn't pay attention to it at first, but then he seemed to suddenly think of something, and a look of panic suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Although he forced himself to calm down, his cheek could not help but twitch.
Tao Yi turned around calmly, glanced at the food on the table, and snorted disdainfully: "Really, this small place can't even cook a single dish. What are these? Pig food? Forget it, no.
After eating, go directly back to Shanyang Mansion."
The stewards of the caravan were all confused, wondering what the young master was up to.
You were the one who said just now that you haven't had hot food for several days, and now you are the one who dislikes other people's food. The eldest young master's temper seems to be getting worse every year.
But no one noticed the uncontrollable look of panic on Tao Yi's face at this time!
He knew Chu Xiu. Although he had never spoken to Chu Xiu, he had met Chu Xiu several times during the Shanyang Mansion auction. He was not very impressed at first, but with what Chu Xiu did
These important events made his impression on Chu Xiu extremely profound.
Let’s not talk about the destruction of the Zhang family. Others were too lazy to pay attention to the murder of the four Zhang Baitao people. Even if they heard about it, they would not say anything. However, many forces in Shanyang Mansion were very concerned and they did not expect it.
Zhang Baitao, who was born in the Bashan Sword Sect, united with three Xiantians to kill Chu Xiu, but still failed, and the defeat was miserable.
And as Tao Yi returned to Yan State from Wei County with his caravan, the news about Chu Xiu had spread throughout Linzhong County.
During the fight for the secret box at the Luyang Mountain ruins, he actually plotted against two heroes in the world, Nie Dongliu, the young master of Juyi Village, and Bai Wuji from Piaoxue City in the far north, in front of everyone. This was really courageous.
There is no limit, it can be said that there is no scruple at all.
From that moment on, Tao Yi had already determined that this man was an unscrupulous maniac! For the sake of profit, the other party would do anything.
It's just that the other party's level is already a bit too high. His opponents are the big families in Linzhong County, and even big sects like Juyizhuang and Piaoxue City in the far north, which are famous in the entire Beiyan City. With their Tao family,
It didn't matter that he was a small aristocratic family that could only show off its power in Shanyang Mansion, but Tao Yi never imagined that he would meet Chu Xiu here.
He knew what Chu Xiu's situation was now. He was wanted by Juyizhuang and was hunted by martial arts masters in the entire Linzhong County. If he sold information about him, he could get a lot of reward.
But the problem is, Tao Yi simply doesn’t dare to do it now!
At the moment, Tao Yi just hopes that Chu Xiu doesn't find out what's wrong with him, and everything has to wait until he leaves here.
It's a pity that things just don't go as planned.
The moment Tao Yi was about to leave, Chu Xiu said calmly: "Master Tao, are you just ready to leave?"
Tao Yi's frightened eyes could not be hidden from Chu Xiu. Although he pretended to be calm on the surface, Chu Xiu could still hear the sound of his heartbeat when he was nervous.
Tao Yi turned around, still pretending to be calm and said: "What do you mean? Do you know me?"
Chu Xiu didn't speak, but slowly took out his red sleeve knife from the space secret box.
The moment he saw the red sleeve knife, Tao Yi panicked and shouted quickly: "Chu Xiu! I, the Tao family, have no enmity with you. Even if I know your news, I will not tell it.
, if you let me live, I promise not to leak any information about you!"
When they heard that the person in front of them turned out to be Chu Xiu, who was currently wanted in Juyizhuang, the stewards of the Tao family were suddenly shocked, but then they secretly said something bad.
It was okay for Tao Yi not to speak before, but now that he says it in public, he is simply forcing Chu Xiu to kill him!
Sure enough, the moment Tao Yi shouted those words, a crimson sword light appeared in front of his eyes!
"No!"
Tao Yi roared angrily. He didn't want to die here. He didn't want to risk his life here because he knocked Chu Xiu's bamboo hat away because of his stupid skills.
In his arms was the Qianjimen hidden weapon that his father had given him, which was used to save his life in critical moments. It was said that as long as it was used properly, it could even hurt an innate warrior.
But as it turned out, as soon as he reached into his arms, Chu Xiu's sword had already struck, the scarlet sword light flashed across, and scarlet blood spattered.
The head fell to the ground, Tao Yi's eyes still flickered with reluctance.
He was the only legitimate son in the Tao family, and the huge family fortune was still waiting for him to inherit, but as a result, he died here today. The cause of his death was extremely funny. He was twenty-three years old and died of a cheap hand.
If he hadn't been so mean as to knock Chu Xiu's bamboo hat off and see something he shouldn't have seen, he wouldn't have died here.
When the steward of the Tao family's caravan over there saw this scene, he screamed in horror, and more than a dozen caravan members began to flee frantically.
The other people in the tavern, except for a few ordinary people who really didn't know martial arts, other Jianghu people even smashed the walls and fled screaming.
Chu Xiu's reputation has been very high in Linzhong County recently. It should be said that no one who can be wanted by Juyizhuang and hunted by all the Jianghu forces in Linzhong County has a small reputation.
Not counting the plot against Nie Dongliu and Bai Wuji when Lu Yangshan captured the treasure, other things that Chu Xiu had done in Linzhong County were also uncovered.
The Zhang family, Zhang Baitao of Shanyang Prefecture, and Hanjiang Prefecture also had his footprints. After all, there was a Black Tiger Gang member of Hanjiang Prefecture who slipped through the net that time. Although they were scared out of their wits, Chu Xiu's matter was also revealed.
It was spread.
As a result, at first glance, the number of innate warriors who died in Chu Xiu's hands turned out to be more than ten!
Fierce! Absolutely ferocious!
Listening to the roars and screams around him, Chu Xiu didn't chase him, and he couldn't catch up.
Dozens of people fled in all directions. Even if there were dozens of pigs running like this, Chu Xiu wouldn't be able to kill them all in an instant.
He just looked around and sighed, but he was just one step away from being forced to kill someone in the end.
At this moment, a sharp shout came from outside: "Chu Xiu! Stop hiding, come out and die!"
Outside the dilapidated tavern, four Neigang Realm warriors surrounded Chu Xiu in the center, with a hint of murderous intent in their eyes.
They had been searching nearby not far away before, but now they rushed here as soon as they heard the noise.
Seeing Chu Xiu, the four Neigang Realm warriors sighed secretly. The young village master knew everything about things like a god, and Chu Xiu was indeed in this place.
Originally, the major forces in Linzhong County dispersed and searched, and traces of Lu Fengxian were also found among them. However, Lu Fengxian escaped, while Chu Xiu was more able to hide. Even if Feng Manlou intervened, they would not be able to escape.
Chu Xiu was not dug out.
Later, it was Nie Dongliu who made the decision himself. He didn't need to worry about other places. He just had to keep an eye on the area near Wei County.
The reason is very simple. Since Lu Fengxian fled to Western Chu, Chu Xiu could only choose to flee to Wei County or the far north Liaodong.
The latter is the territory of the Far North Piaoxue City. If Chu Xiu escaped there, they would have no choice but to have the food of the Far North Piaoxue City.
So the direction of the approaching Wei County was where they conducted a strict search and sent most of the Neigang Realm warriors here. Unexpectedly, Chu Xiu actually appeared here!
