Chapter XVIII

The Li family

Li Chaoqun sat on the main seat, his younger brother Li Chaoyue sat at the bottom, and behind him stood the old butler who had served the Li family for many years.

Steward Li has a strong body and cloudy eyes, but he is a real acquired tenth-layer martial artist, this person has been in the Li family for more than 60 years, loyal, and has watched Li Chaoqun grow up since he was a child, even he has to call Uncle Li.

"Uncle Li, there are no outsiders here, so you can sit too. ”

Steward Li sat down tremblingly: "Master Xie, hey, people are getting older, and they are becoming more and more useless." ”

"How can we juniors bother you more. ”

Everyone sat down, and Li Chaoyue took the lead in asking: "Brother, you called us over for the token." ”

Li Chaoqun nodded, his expression solemn.

"It is precisely this matter that our Li family seems to be beautiful, but in fact, there is no successor!

Baolai, hey, his own qualifications are limited, and he is spoiled by his mother, he knows how to eat, drink and have fun every day, and the cultivation of the first layer of the day after tomorrow is still piled up with pills.

Cun'er has been frail and sick since he was a child, and Brother Xing'er is still young, and I don't know if I can survive until he grows up. ”

"Brother, why do you think so, you can not only see Xing'er grow up, but also see your grandchildren grow up!"

Li Chaoqun shook his head, his face showing a little tiredness: "Transcendence, I know my own body, when I was young, I was brave and aggressive, and I left a dark wound, I'm afraid I won't be able to support Xing'er to grow up." ”

Li Chaoyue's expression was stunned, obviously difficult to accept, his brother lost his father in two years, it was his brother who was alone, in the eyes of the people around him, supporting the Li family, in his heart, his brother is still the omnipotent existence, and it is the reliance of their Li family.

And now this being says that he is old and can't hold on.

He raised his head and looked at Li Chaoqun carefully, this man who was just over fifty years old, his temples were frosty white, the uneven Sichuan characters between his eyebrows, and the deep nasolabial folds at the corners of his mouth were the traces left by the wind, frost, snow and rain over the years.

Li Chaoyue's heart moved, and a thousand words came to his heart: "Brother..."

Li Chaoqun waved his hand, interrupted his younger brother, and then said: "The token of Cangyan Villa, I originally planned to give Baolai and let him enter Cangyan Villa to practice martial arts, even if he can't learn martial arts, he can invest a few good seedlings in advance, and in the future, with the support of the disciples of Cangyan Villa, the Li family can be regarded as having a backer, but who knows...

You are all the people I trust the most, what advice do you have for the future of the Li family in this matter?"

"The head of the house", the housekeeper touched his beard and said, "Can the head of the house tell me in detail about the theft of the token, and see if he can find any more clues." ”

Li Chaoqun repeated the incident on the flower boat again.

"What did Uncle Li think of?"

"The old man has a few guesses. ”

"Uncle Li, say it quickly!"

"Fang Zhengping of the Fang family broke through to become a martial artist at the age of fourteen, if there is no accident, he will definitely be able to enter Cangyan Villa, and the Bai family, it is even more impossible, Bai Xiucheng is a disciple of Cangyan Villa, and he is quite valued, it is not difficult to introduce Bai Xiuxin to Cangyan Villa.

None of them had the need to steal tokens, so the suspicion of the other two on the flower ship was very small. ”

Fang Chaoyue was even more confused when he heard this: "Uncle Li, you have been talking for a long time, and there is no one who is suspicious, could it be that the token is still running with his legs open!"

Fang Chaoqun's eyes lit up: "Uncle Li said that the acquired martial artists at the scene are not suspicious, could it be that there are still acquired martial artists who have not appeared on the flower boat?"

The butler nodded approvingly: "Yes, there must be a hidden acquired martial artist on the flower boat." ”

"So who is this person?"

"First of all, the people in Luo County can basically rule out that our Li family has taken root in Luo County for so many years, and what happened in Luo County basically can't be hidden from the eyes of the head of the family, and most of the people on the flower boat are local forces in Luo County, except for Chunfeng Building!"

"Bump!"

Li Chaoqun slammed his fist on the table: "Okay, you Chunfeng Building!"

But the old man felt that this matter was not done by Chunfeng Lou. ”

"Oh?"

"There is no motive, the head of the family, you think, Chunfeng Mansion is the power of Hu Sanye, Hu Sanye's dignified grandmaster, if you want to stuff people into Cangyan Villa, even the owner of the villa will also give face, can you use hard to steal tokens?

Therefore, the old man believes that the person who stole the token is hiding in the Chunfeng Building, but Chunfeng Luo does not know the details of this person, and it is very likely that this person has joined the Chunfeng Building in recent months. ”

If Fang Xile heard this, he would probably be taken aback, and his guess was terrifying.

"Got it", Li Chaoqun nodded: "I'll send someone to investigate Chunfeng Building, and put up a notice, but anyone who knows any clues to report to the Li family will be given a hundred taels of silver!"

......

The Bai family, the martial arts training ground

Bai Xiu's messenger used all his strength to hit the wooden stake in front of him, making a clattering sound, sweat flowed down his forehead into his eyes, blurring his vision, and the wooden stake in front of him seemed to turn into an annoying Fang Xile.

"Click!"

The stake broke in two in the middle and ended its mission.

"Come again!" Bai Xiuxin commanded with an expressionless face.

"Young master, your hands are bleeding, rest!" said the little guy tremblingly, I don't know who provoked my own young master, I got up early this morning to practice boxing, and broke two wooden stakes.

"I said I'll come again!"

At this time, a pleasant female voice came, "Hehe, who made my cousin so angry?"

Bai Xiuxin's tense expression softened a little: "Cousin, why are you here?"

"If I don't come, I don't know that my cousin is abusing me, come on, help your young master deal with it!"

Seeing that Bai Xiuxin finally stopped, the little guy behind him breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was full of gratitude to Lin Xiuzhu, Miss Lin was not only beautiful, but also good in the bottom of her heart.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you? Is there anyone in Luo County who dares to be disrespectful to my cousin?"

Bai Xiuxin pursed his lips and did not speak.

Lin Xiuzhu's eyes moved: "Could it be that Fang Xile?"

Lin Xiuzhu looked lonely: "Fang Xile is really too much! I think when Cousin Xiucheng was here, she didn't be respectful to us and flattered us in every way, but now that Cousin Xiucheng is not here, she will be exposed and bullied us."

When Cousin Xiucheng comes back, let him call the shots for us!"

Bai Xiuxin smashed his fist on the tree next to him, and the freshly wrapped wound oozed blood again: "No need! I can get her by myself! I will make her look good when the time comes!"

"Oh, cousin wants revenge? ”

"What chance?"

"Fang Xile wants to travel with the Fang family's caravan. Lin Xiuzhu covered her mouth with a fan and said softly: "Then, the caravan will definitely encounter danger when it crosses mountains and mountains along the way, right?"

"Yes, the caravan is dangerous, and any accident can happen. Bai Xiuxin's eyes lit up: "As long as we buy the people in the caravan, Fang Xile will not be able to escape this catastrophe!"

"Or cousin, you're smart!"

Lin Xiuzhu covered her mouth and chuckled: "Of course I can't let go of the person who bullied my cousin!"
