In the empty alley, Xue Jian pondered as he walked.

He had heard a voice in the system when he had taken the silver coin.

"Low-level circulating currency, which can be exchanged for 1 virtual currency, confirm whether it can be exchanged. ”

Xue Jian knew that coins could also be recycled by the system, but the price was a little too low, and according to the revenue of this rice shop, it couldn't meet his own needs at all.

Just as he was thinking of this, there was a rush of footsteps behind him, which made Xue Jian suddenly come back to his senses and turn his head to look.

I saw a group of five or six guys in night clothes chasing after them, all of them carrying knives in their hands, and they were murderous.

Xue saw a sigh in his heart, and hurriedly pulled his legs and ran, if he was caught up, his life would definitely be explained.

It's just that those black-clothed people are obviously professional killers, with a brisk speed, flying off the wall, and the two of them swept over Xue Jian's head in a somersault, blocking in front of him.

It was dark and the alleys were empty, and there was no one else but them.

A group of black-clothed men slowly forced Xue Jian into a corner, not giving him a chance to speak at all, and slashed at him with a long knife in his hand.

At this critical moment, suddenly a figure fell from the sky with lightning speed, swept a kick, and directly kicked all the long knives of the group of black-clothed people away.

In the face of this sudden blow, the group of black-clothed people were decisive, and at the same time took out a dart from their arms and threw it at Xue Jian, while retreating.

If you can kill, you will kill, and if you can't kill, you can't break your own people.

It's just that the person who suddenly came to the rescue has a good strength.

With a flick of his long sleeves, the man rolled the toxin-laden darts into his sleeves and threw them out.

A muffled snort rang out, and four people were stabbed in the body by poison darts and fell to the ground, and only one escaped over the wall.

Xue saw that he had never seen such a scene, and it was inevitable that he would be nervous and afraid, but he still managed to calm down and bowed to the person in front of him with his back to him.

"Thank you for saving your life. ”

This person turned around slowly, and Xue Jian was surprised by the face he revealed, he was actually Chu Shan.

"Uncle doesn't have to be polite, since you were brought out by me, I naturally want to bring you back safe and sound and hand you over to Miss. ”

After saying that, he walked quickly to the black-clothed people who fell to the ground, squatted down and took a look, these people had already died of poison.

Chu Shan pulled down their masks, his brows couldn't help frowning, even if he had a wide range of friends in Nanfu City and knew countless people, he had never seen these people.

Xue Jian stood behind him and inquired, and after learning that Chu Shan had never seen these people, a layer of gloom suddenly appeared in his heart.

took great pains to send some innocent out-of-town killers to assassinate him, who else could there be besides the Xu family.

Of course, Chu Shan also thought about it, but everyone is dead, there is no evidence, and it is useless to say it.

The two quickly left here, and after returning to the Chu family, the first thing they did was to report the matter, and the Chu family sent someone to carry the body back from the alley for an autopsy.

Of course, this matter is very big, but Chu Donghe has been suppressed by people, and it is not spread to the outside world, and there are no words of appeasement.

Only Chu Yiyi said with concern.

"This matter is aimed at you, I think you won't go out these days, it's a big deal to apologize to my father, I believe he won't do anything to you. ”

Xue Jian shook his head and didn't say anything, although it was dangerous to go out, it was impossible to admit it like this.

After he returned, he immediately took out the basic exercises and began to practice according to the mental mantra that he had silently read last night.

There will definitely be a lot of such dangers in the future, and there will never be someone to save him every time, so he has to cultivate, become stronger, and rely on his own strength to gain everyone's respect.

In the dead of night, the Xu family.

In a study room lit with a dim butter lamp, Xu Ronghua sat behind a desk.

In front of him, stood a man in a black night suit, in his thirties, majestic and majestic, with a hideous scar on his face.

Xu Ronghua looked down at the books on the table, listening to the man tell about the attack on Xue Jian in the alley, and when he heard that Chu Shan had rescued Xue Jian, he frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Take the money and leave Nanfu City immediately, don't let me see you again. ”

Although the man in black was unwilling, he nodded and retreated silently.

After he left, a young man in a green shirt walked in, this person looked about twenty-six or seventeen years old, and his appearance was quite similar to that Xu Feng, but he seemed much more stable.

He walked over to his desk and said in a calm voice.

"Dad, if this attack fails, the Chu family will definitely suspect us, there is no need to do small actions, I don't think it's better to play a big game directly. ”

Xu Ronghua frowned and fell into deep thought, and said in a low voice.

"Now that the old ancestor is in retreat and breaking through, if he wants to completely overthrow the Chu family, he must wait for the old ancestor to successfully break through. ”

The young man shook his head, picked up a pen, and wrote on the white paper spread out on his desk.

"My brother was injured by the waste of the Xue family, and this revenge will be avenged, but we can borrow a knife to kill people, so why do it ourselves. ”

Xu Ronghua looked down and saw three big characters written on the white paper.

The Three Princes.

He suddenly came to his senses.

Half a year ago, the Xue family suddenly collapsed, sold all the family property, and left Nanfu City in a hurry.

Others don't know why, but he has heard about it.

It is said that it was because the Xue family offended the three princes of the Dayu Dynasty and took something that should not be taken, so they were targeted by the three princes.

Each of the five major families in Nanfu City is a huge family in the eyes of ordinary people, but in front of the real royal family, it is nothing.

Xu Ronghua thought about it again and again, and said cautiously.

"Li'er, these three princes are not easy to fool, if one of them is not handled properly, we will be burned. ”

Xu Li, Xu Ronghua's eldest son, Xu Feng's elder brother, both in terms of martial arts cultivation qualifications and resourcefulness and insight are above Xu Feng.

If it weren't for the fact that he had just returned to Nanfu City today, Xu Feng might not have been injured yesterday.

"We don't need to borrow this knife, as long as I send someone to release some rumors, I believe that there are many fools who are willing to go to the third prince to offer their courtesy. ”

Xu Ronghua's eyes lit up, clenched his fists and shouted "Okay".

"If the Chu family can be brought down through the three princes, then this Nanfu City is not the most effective for my Xu family, Li'er, this matter will be left to you."

In addition, in business, we can't let the Chu family have a good time, and yesterday's humiliation will definitely be washed away by the blood of the Chu family. ”

After a night, Xue saw that he had cultivated the mental mantra, and the results were good, even if he didn't cooperate with those fitness movements, he felt refreshed and his limbs were strong.

At dawn the next day, Xue Jian hurriedly ate breakfast and went to the rice shop in Willow Lane alone.

When he walked to the mouth of the alley, he saw several people, squatting at the gate of the rice shop, holding the leaflets that had been distributed yesterday.

Xue Jian hurriedly stepped forward, greeted politely, opened the rice shop, and served hot tea.

Before the two men came, they had to do it for the shopkeeper, but what gave him a headache was that as soon as they heard that the things on the leaflet were true, they all said that they were the first to come.

No one is staring over here, and who knows who is telling the truth.

In fact, these people are all neighbors, and they said they would come together last night.

If it's true, they all say that they were the first to come, and if it's fake, there's nothing to lose.

Xue saw that he was helpless, and he couldn't regret it, otherwise he would lose his reputation, and no one would believe it in the future.

He could only pinch his nose and admit that everyone was treated as the first guest, buy ten catties of rice and give two catties.

Simply, this also earns, although it is not much, but it is regarded as a good start on the first day of the promotion.

After sending off the first batch of customers, Xue Jian took a note of the accounts and began to prepare for today's autumn promotion.

The banner he ordered yesterday was put up, the billboard outside was hung, and after the two guys came, he directly asked them to buy some firecrackers and put them down.

Anyway, it's how lively it is, the bigger the movement, the better, and it's as if it has just opened.

Sure enough, the effect is very good, and after a morning's effort, the people of this radius of several streets know the discount of the old Chujia rice shop in Willow Lane, and they have come here to buy it.

In just two days, the old rice shop, which was on the verge of closing, turned from a loss to a profit, not only making up for the previous bad debts, but also selling out the old rice that had accumulated over the years.

The matter spread, and immediately alarmed all the shop families in Nanfu City.

It's like a pool of stagnant water, and suddenly an alien catfish rushes in, stirring up the water.

In the evening, Xue Jian returned to the Chu family as usual, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that both the subordinates and the Chu family were looking at him differently.

Chu Shan stood at the door and waited for a long time, and when he saw Xue Jian, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Uncle is very skilled, this is the first time I have seen such a business mind. ”

Xue Jian replied modestly, although he didn't spend much time together, he could see Chu Shan's care and expectations for him.

may be because they are all sons-in-law, Chu Shan knows how difficult it is for a person with a foreign surname to gain a foothold in the Chu family.

What's more, this young man's family is not there, and his martial arts talent is not good, so it is even more difficult to get the approval of the Chu family.

Under the leadership of Chu Shan, they walked all the way to the front yard hall, where many people were enjoying the family dinner.

Chu Yiyi, Chu Donghe and mother-in-law were all present, as well as the uncles and uncles of the Chu family, and there were many children of the younger generation.

Seeing Xue Jian suddenly coming, Chu Donghe's right hand holding chopsticks was immediately put down, and his face changed from joy to seriousness.

The others also put down their chopsticks one after another, looking at this young man who straightened his waist and walked step by step.

In the past two days, especially today, they had all heard about the old rice shop in Willow Lane, and were surprised and amazed by the young man's unexpected methods.

At the same time, Xue Jian didn't expect that a family dinner was being held here, and no one informed him before that.

He looked at it, and first saluted Chu Donghe and his mother-in-law respectfully.

Then before Chu Donghe could speak, he saw his mother-in-law, who had always been lukewarm to him before, and got up and beckoned.

"Come, come and sit next to Yiyi and eat together. ”

After Xue saw the slight flute, he immediately came to Chu Yiyi's side in a few steps and sat down on an empty seat.

He looked sideways and saw Chu Yiyi with his head down, with a slight flush on his fair face, like a glass of fine wine, intoxicating.

Suddenly, she secretly glared at Xue Jian sideways and snorted quietly.

"That white handkerchief, you lied to me again!"
