"How?"

It was like a hoarse voice coming from the dark world of the region, but it was obviously not aimed at Chu Xi.

"Haha, yes, yes, this kid doesn't seem to have been in vain in the past few years, old ghost, he will entrust it to you in the future. ”

The person who came was Chu Pojun, I don't know when he stood on the wall by the alley, Chu Xi somewhat understood, today's assassination was arranged by his grandfather.

"Your orders are my mission, the stars will not be extinguished, and the secret guards will have no regrets. ”

"I said can you, don't die like this for decades, I really can't help you, forget it, go home first."

Chu Xi watched his grandfather talk to the mysterious killer in a daze, not knowing what medicine was sold in the gourd.

"Stinky boy, don't be stunned, go home. ”

Obviously, Chu Pojun didn't have the idea of answering Chu Xi's questions before returning home, and directly beckoned both of them to go home.

Chu Xi also followed behind his grandfather, peeking around and behind him from time to time, but in vain, he couldn't notice where the figure just now went.

I don't know if the other party's ability to hide is too strong, or if he has already taken a step ahead.

"You don't need to look for him, you can't find him with your current perception. ”

Chu Pojun strode forward, but he knew his grandson's small movements in the back well, and he broke Chu Xi's thoughts.

It's terrible, fortunately, this person is a friend and foe, and today's assassination seems to have been deliberately arranged by grandpa, otherwise now in the alley, only his corpse with residual warmth will be left, and I don't know if the soul can be as lucky as in the previous life.

Among the Chu family, Chu Zhansheng and the others seemed to have gotten some news, and had already arranged ginger soup, dry towels and clothes to wait, and of course a sumptuous feast was indispensable.

After a simple change into dry clothes, the family sat down for dinner, and the mysterious person never appeared.

Chu Pojun didn't mention it either, although Chu Xi was full of doubts, but his grandfather didn't say it, and he didn't say it himself.

During the banquet, Chu Zhansheng picked an important question about Chu Xi's study and cultivation, and Xiao Yi asked for warmth and care.

Chu Pojun talked about today's battlefield martial arts with great interest, Chu Xi felt that this old man had the potential to be a storyteller, and his eyebrows danced, and he also added a lot of personal opinions.

Chu Xi was a little embarrassed, ashamed, ashamed, ashamed, this burning of Linjiang himself was plagiarized from Zhou Yu's tactics, although he also added some of his own flexible use.

After dinner, Chu Pojun had a little Chu Zhansheng and Chu Xi, and the third master went to the study, and Chu Xi understood that the identity of the mysterious person should be revealed.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the study, I saw the long figure standing in the inner room, with his back to several people.

Chu Pojun didn't greet first, but Chu Zhansheng hurriedly took a few steps forward and gave a deep salute.

"Little nephew, meet the ghost uncle. ”

Chu Xi was a little surprised by his father's reaction, and the mysterious man finally turned around, but he still couldn't see his true face.

A dark gold half-cut mask on his face blocked the bridge of his nose upwards, leaking only thin lips and a few strands of black beard.

"Get up, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, the hairy boy who didn't dry up at the beginning is now also a handsome man in the army and a pillar of the Chu family. ”

"The ghost uncle praised, you are old and the years are not decreasing, and you are becoming more and more profound. ”

Chu Pojun patted Chu Xi on the shoulder and pushed him.

"Boy, go over and salute your ghost grandfather. ”

Chu Xi was puzzled, when did a grandfather appear, or a ghost grandfather.

"Chu Xi greets the ghost grandfather. ”

"Don't be polite, get up, you will be my master in the future, just call me a ghost elder." ”

Chu Xi didn't dare to scream, turned around and looked at his grandfather, waiting for the old man to speak.

"Let's all go to the secret room, and open the way before the war is born. ”

Chu Xi was surprised at this time, when did he get a secret room at home, and he saw his father walking towards the bookshelf, and the entrance to this secret room was in the old man's study.

It's no wonder that when it comes to hidden things, I'm always afraid that the wall has ears.

Previously, it was the first time the Chu family arrived in Tongjing, and they had not yet had time to settle down, so the last time they taught the secret book, they could only be in the study, and Chu Zhansheng was personally on guard outside.

The secret room is dug under the study, and looking at the posture, all of them are poured with metal, which is airtight, except for some ventilation ports, it is also very secret.

There are no candles lit in the secret room, and all the rooms are lit with fist-sized Akashi inlaid roofs.

Chu Zhansheng returned to the study to bring tea, and the four of them sat down, and when the old man mentioned the conversation, he wanted Chu Xi to explain.

It is said that Chu Mingshang, the great ancestor of Chuxi, became a centurion in the army in his forties, but unfortunately because of his limited talent in martial arts, he failed to make a breakthrough.

At that time, Tiantong's national strength was weakening, and there was often friction with neighboring countries for a city and a place, but they were all restrained, so they couldn't afford to fight big wars, and small fights were almost every day.

Chu Mingshang had just been transferred from the border pass cavalry battalion to a small military town to guard it, although it was remote and deserted, but fortunately, it was far away from the border pass, and it was quite peaceful.

Chu Shan was already dying of old age at that time, and he went in and out of the mountains to collect medicine all the year round, and was injured and sick.

At that time, Chu Pojun and Chu Poying were only three or four years old, because Chu Shan was critically ill, Chu Mingshang and his wife and children all rushed back to Huangxing Village.

Rushing back to visit for the last time, Chu Shan explained the matter of Shang Er to Chu Mingshang, and passed down the secret book and died.

After taking care of the aftermath, Chu Mingshang picked up his mother, and the family returned to the military town, but they didn't want to pass through the mountains and wilderness, and encountered a group of robbers who robbed the mountain tribes.

These people are notorious slave traders, who collect and sell human beings, and are often targeted by uncivilized tribes deep in the mountains and old forests.

Most of these tribes are the bloodlines of ancient alien and human marriages, collectively referred to as alien desolate tribes, and they are born with some strange abilities, and some blasphemers come from these tribes.

But the blasphemers are a minority after all, but most of the alien blood desolate tribes are hostile to the world, so they have to hide in the mountains to escape the world.

Chu Ming was born in the merchant army, and he was jealous and hateful, how could he ignore it when he saw this scene, and immediately led his guards forward to destroy all these traffickers.

In the entire Star God Continent, it has been forbidden to capture its own population as slaves since 10,000 years ago, and the only source of slaves is to voluntarily sell themselves, or be condemned as slaves.

In addition, prisoners of war were also forbidden to be used as slaves, and the country of origin could usually redeem prisoners of war after the war, and would actively do so, after all, this is the will of the people.

If the defeated country was lost or could not redeem it, the prisoners of war would either be taken in by the victorious country or reduced to hard labor.

But you can only work as a coolie, and you have to be paid, usually three to five years of hard work, and then you can regain your freedom.

As a result, there was an extreme shortage of slaves, but there were so many places where slaves were needed, so the slave trade groups were in short supply and searched for slaves on the other.

Due to the harsh laws imposed by the countries on the mainland, the slave cartels usually did not dare to attack ordinary people.

But there is always darkness in the world, and many slave trading groups have hit the heads of the alien blood desolate tribes who hide in the mountains and escape the world.
