The next morning, everyone got up early, Luo Dafu and Ling Shantu talked in the courtyard very early, Ziwei and Zhu Wei waited on the side, and Mrs. Ling was cooking breakfast in the kitchen.

Li Chouxin practiced in the room for a night, which can be regarded as a complete completion of the second layer of cultivation of the Mind Attraction Technique, at this time he felt full of energy, although he practiced all night, but his body did not feel tired at all, so he stretched out his hand and pointed to the three feet three on the table, and the mind urged, the three feet three suddenly let out a thick sword sound, and then with Li Chouxin's command, the three feet of the three sword shadows in the room were transformed into three thousand sword shadows, occupying the entire room, Li Chouxin slowly urged, and then the three thousand sword shadows rotated slowly in the room, for a while, The whole room was filled with silver light.

Several people outside the house were shocked when they watched the light of Li Chouxin's room flicker. Ling Zhuwei was very curious, so she rushed up and pushed the door open, just as the door opened, Li Chouxin looked at the door, and thousands of swords immediately followed Li Chouxin's gaze, and the tips of the swords all pointed to Ling Zhuwei, feeling that she was about to break out of the door.

Ling Zhuwei was so frightened by the scene in front of her that she froze in place, her eyes were stunned, and her mouth opened wide.

When everyone in the courtyard saw this scene, they were also quite shocked, and they were all stunned by such a huge formation.

Li Chou saw that it was Ling Zhuwei, and withdrew three feet three, and all the sword films disappeared in an instant. Ling Zhuwei came to her senses and said aggrievedly: "Worried brother, just now people came here because they were obviously worried about you, but you pointed a sword at me, and there are so many of them, don't you like Zhu Wei anymore?" It scared people out of their minds. ”

Hearing this, Li Chou got up from the bed, put three feet three, and then walked towards Zhu Wei, touched Zhu Wei's head, and said: "I was just practicing swordsmanship just now, but I didn't expect you to come over suddenly, little Zhu Wei, fortunately, I put away the sword in time, okay, it's all my fault, I'll go to the street to buy you fun and delicious food as atonement, don't be angry." ”

Ling Zhuwei twisted her head and said with some resentment: "This is about the same. Then he ran to Ziwei's side.

"Congratulations, sad brother, it seems that you have learned an extremely rare swordsmanship this night, and it seems that you are going to develop in the direction of a contemporary sword immortal!" Luo Dafu looked at Li Chouxin who was walking and said.

Li Chouxin replied modestly: "Brother Luo said that he laughed, but after fighting with Ba Qing last night, he has been having lingering palpitations, if there is no stronger move, it will still be very dangerous to meet a master again in the future, so I came back last night and practiced all night, and finally finished practicing." ”

And the Ling family was happy to see Li Chouxin's strength improve again.

"Worried brother, what was the origin of this sword just now? Can you let us see and understand? Rodav continued.

"Just now this sword is called Feiliu 3,000 feet, in fact, it is to control foreign objects with ideas, to turn a thousand swords into a sword, the blade of the sword, indestructible, unbreakable, even if it is against thousands of enemies at the same time, it can also be broken with a sword." After Li Chouxin finished speaking, everyone first thought it was incredible, and then they were all amazed.

When she was young, Mrs. Ling served breakfast and said, "Fighting and killing our women don't understand, but looking at the power just now, even a housewife like me can feel an infinite sense of oppression, and it should be very tight." But for now, let's eat first, if you don't have the strength, no matter how powerful the move is, you can't play it. ”

After Mrs. Ling finished speaking, everyone laughed.

In a burst of laughter and talk, the group quickly finished eating the food on the table.

At this time, Luo Dafu suddenly asked, "Worried brother, don't you know what your plans are for today?" Luo thought that this matter should not be delayed for too long, so as not to give the other party a chance to deal with it. ”

Li Chouxin actually had an idea in his heart, and said: "Brother Luo, rest assured to recuperate here, today I will invite Zhang Rao to drink, this line should come in handy." ”

At noon, Li Chouxin came to Zhang's Mansion empty-handed, knocked on the door of Zhangfu, and the servant saw that the person who came was a friend of his son-in-law, so he took Li Chouxin into Zhang's Mansion without informing, and went straight to Zhang Rao.

The slave knocked on the door outside Zhang Rao's door for a long time, but there was no movement for a long time, and Zhang Rao scolded a few words through the door.

At this time, Li Chou Xin said to the slave: "You try to say that I am at the door and see how he reacts?" ”

"Young master, it's not that I have to disturb the young master's good dreams, it's just that the sad son is waiting at the door at the moment." As soon as the servant finished speaking, the door was opened.

I saw that Zhang Rao was untidy and ran out of the room in a panic, and said to Li Chouxin: "I'm really sorry, Brother Sorrowful, just now this bastard slave didn't make it clear that it was Brother Sorrow coming, so he was really sluggish." ”

After speaking, he scolded the slave angrily, and then ordered the slave to go down to prepare a luncheon and treat Li Chouxin well.

At this moment, three young girls hurriedly walked out of the room, and left after saying goodbye to Zhang Rao.

Li Chou looked at Zhang Rao with a wicked smile and said: "Zhang Shao, it seems that yesterday was a night of Spring Festival, no wonder I was still deep in a dream and didn't want to wake up at this hour, Zhang Shao is quite violent, he eats three in one bite." ”

Zhang Rao smiled embarrassedly: "I drank a few more drinks yesterday, which made the sad brother laugh." ”

"Okay, I won't laugh at you, man, it's normal, but I have something to talk about with you today." Li Chouxin suddenly said seriously.

Zhang Rao was about to ask Li Chou what was going on, when he was interrupted by a frightened person who suddenly arrived.

"Young master, the master is waiting for you in the study, let you hurry over!"

"Did Father say anything?"

"That's not true, but I'm a little anxious when I look at the old man."

"That being the case, you brought my sorrowful brother to the parlor to entertain me, and I will come when I go."

Li Chou looked at the anxious Zhang Rao and said, "Zhang Shao should go in advance, I'll wait for you in the hall." ”

Zhang Rao hurriedly walked towards Zhangfu's study.

Under the leadership of his subordinates, Li Chouxin went to the living room of Zhang's Mansion to wait for Zhang Rao, thinking that Zhang Shu summoned Zhangrao in such a hurry, most likely because of what happened outside Zhang's Mansion last night.

Li Chou drank tea leisurely, and after a while, Zhang Rao came back with an unhappy face.

Li Chouxin looked at Zhang Rao, who was a little depressed, and stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong Zhang Shao, did something happen?" If you have no time today, you will come back tomorrow. ”

Zhang Rao looked at Li Chouxin and said: "A strange thing did happen, but it has nothing to do with Brother Chouxin, since Brother Chou Xin is here, let's make an idea for my brother." ”

Li Chouxin did not refuse, and agreed.

Zhang Rao instructed his subordinates to buy wine and food in the side hall, and planned to talk with Li Chou while drinking.

At the dinner table, Li Chouxin asked Zhang Rao again: "Zhang Shao, what is it that makes you look so solemn?" ”

Zhang Rao picked up the wine glass, drank a glass with Li Chouxin, and said slowly: "There was a strange thing outside the Zhang Mansion last night, a group of special people died outside the Zhang Mansion, full of needle eyes, this morning Hu Jin Hu Lord repaired a letter to find his father to account, should be my Zhang family as the object of suspicion, after my father learned about it, he was furious, so he called me to ask me to find out about the matter as soon as possible, but I am also confused and clueless now, and I hope that Brother Sorrow will give me some ideas." With that, he took another drink.

"I see, it seems that the group of people who died last night are not ordinary, if it was an ordinary person who died, Lord Hu should not be like this, right?" Li Chou asked in his heart.

"Alas, that's it, it's all come to this point, I won't hide it from Brother Worry, I have seen Brother Worry's methods, last night's incident was definitely not done by you, in fact, that group of people is the people on the Taihe, their boss Quansheng and Hu Jin, Yan Zefa and our Zhang family have business dealings, last night's incident, so that Lord Hu can't help but suspect that it was my Zhang family, after all, in recent years, the business of the Zhang family has become bigger and bigger, and Lord Hu has begun to be a little jealous of the Zhang family, so I suspect that my Zhang family wants to set up their own door and get out of their trading circle, so they came to challenge the Zhang family." Zhang Rao shook his head as he spoke.

"It seems that the transaction between you is not simple, does Zhang Shao still have something to hide from me?" Li Chouxin continued to ask.

"Alas, this Lord Hu too, how could my Zhang family do this, isn't this making trouble for myself, if I really have this intention, I won't choose to kill near the Zhang family, and I don't know what Lord Hu thinks." Zhang Rao did not answer Li Chouxin's question.

"From this point of view, maybe Lord Hu Jinhu has ulterior motives, but I don't know the ins and outs of the matter, and I can't give you advice now." Li Chou said a little casually.

Zhang Rao listened to Li Chouxin's words, and thought for a long time while drinking, so he said with some hesitation: "In fact, it's all a head-killing business, since Brother Chou Xin regards me as a friend, I will say it all, but I still hope that Brother Chou will rot in his stomach, otherwise, even if my Zhang family can't control Brother Chouxin, but there are many forces such as Hu Jin and Yan Zefa, if you are not careful, you will take Brother Chouxin's life." ”

"Since it's so dangerous, I still don't know why, Zhang Shao should stop there." Li Chouxin said in time.

"Brother Sorrow can't be like this, I still expect Brother Sorrowful to give me guidance, how can I feel at ease to watch my brother suffer like this." Zhang Rao had already made up his mind to tell Li Chouxin everything.

"That's it, then the sorrow will give up his life to accompany the gentleman, and you will listen to it." Li Chouxin looked like he was sticking a knife in his friend's ribs.

"In fact, all along, the Zhang family, Hu Jin, and Quansheng have been doing the business of selling armaments, and the Zhang family is responsible for handing over the purchased iron ore to Hu Jin, Hu Jin in addition to the history of the Oling Thorn, also serves as an ordnance supervisor, responsible for the manufacture of weapons for border soldiers, originally Ling Shantu and Yan Zefa are their right-hand men, but since Ling Shantu found out about the illegal deeds, he was framed, and now Yan Zefa has become the only henchman; Quansheng is a merchant on the river, operating the Taihe merchant ship, which is responsible for transporting goods and sales, and sells the manufactured armaments to various places in the East China Sea and the South China Sea through merchant ships, and the silver money in exchange is divided into the form of '433' to Hu Jin, Zhangfu, and Quansheng respectively, which has been discontinued for a few years in the past few years, but has begun to operate again in recent years. Zhang Rao shook his head as he spoke.

"Last night, it was the Taihe who went to the Oroling to load the goods, but I don't know what happened, the people of the Taihe died near Zhangfu, which is why there is the current situation, and Zhangfu is now the number one suspect." Zhang Rao continued.

After listening to Zhang Rao's general introduction, Li Chouxin thought thoughtfully, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Zhang Rao hurriedly asked, "Brother Worried, do you have any opinions?" Please tell us the truth! ”

Li Chou hesitated for a moment and said: "Do you say that there will be a situation, in fact, people were killed by Hu Jin and Yan Zefa, in order to find an excuse to get rid of the Zhang family, and then they will have one less partner to share the benefits, but they can get more benefits, after all, the Zhang family is only responsible for the supply of iron ore, this link is actually the easiest to replace, after so many years of operation, maybe they have long been familiar with some miners, and they don't need the Zhang family, and last night, Quansheng will naturally point the finger at the Zhang family, Hu Jin and others will also take advantage of the trend to make trouble for the Zhang family, which is a good choice for them, of course, this is just my personal speculation, and the chapter is used as a reference. ”

After Zhang Rao listened to Li Chouxin's words, it seemed that a new door had been opened, but he had never dared to think about this aspect before, so he continued to ask: "Brother Chouxin, if what you said is true, then how should I deal with it?" ”

Li Chouxin touched his chin and said, "Since it is still a hypothesis, then start to secretly investigate, to investigate every link in your business, if this is the case, it will not take long to have results." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Rao raised his glass and toasted Li Chouxin, and said happily: "Brother Chouxin, wait a minute, I will go to discuss with my father and see how my father chooses." ”

Li Chou said: "Zhang Shao can only say that he thought of it himself, don't let me out." ”

"Understood." Zhang Rao couldn't wait and ran to the study.

After a long time, Zhang Rao came back, and said excitedly to Li Chouxin: "After hearing this, my father thought it was very reasonable, and ordered me to start a secret investigation, if this is really the case, I can also deal with the changes earlier, otherwise they will really succeed and the Zhang family will be over." ”

Zhang Rao thanked Li Chouxin on the one hand, but on the other hand, he had other thoughts.

Li Chou Xin noticed that Zhang Rao's words were not finished, and said: "Zhang Shao, since this is the case, I don't know what doubts Zhang Shao has?" ”

Zhang Rao said at this time: "Brother Sorrowful, brother, I know that this is an inevitable risk, but if something happens with my own strength, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect myself, and there is no skilled and trustworthy person around me, I don't know if Brother Sorrowful is willing to go with Zhang, and the Zhang family will be grateful in the future." ”

Li Chouxin smiled when he heard this, "Zhang Shao is more worried, I think I Li Chouxin first arrived in Oro, Zhang Shao treated me politely, gave me a lot of expensive gifts, and gave enough face, and now I have friends with my brothers and friends, such an important thing can be told truthfully, this favor, how can I not help, and I will not mention it again if I repay it." ”

Zhang Rao saw that Li Chouxin said a bunch of heartfelt words, and he couldn't hide his excitement in his heart, and said: "Since Brother Chou Xin is so righteous, he depends on his brother, Zhang Rao must only obey Brother Chouxin's orders, after all, I still have a little knowledge of my own strength." After speaking, Zhang Rao smiled a little embarrassedly.

Li Chou was not polite, and asked directly: "That chapter knows where the weapons are manufactured, so let's start from there." ”

"This is natural, but ordinary people can't enter that place, but my Zhang family can come and go freely under the pretext of transporting iron ore, I don't know what kind of opinion Brother Sorrow has?" Zhang Rao replied.

Li Chou said in his heart: "Then please ask Zhang Shao to prepare the iron mine, and let's go to find out tonight, but now I have to go back to Sanmiaotang to explain, make some preparations, and come back to meet you later, so I will leave first." ”

After Zhang Rao listened to Li Chouxin's words, he sent Li Chouxin out of Zhang's mansion, and then arranged for his family to go to Zhang's warehouse to prepare tonight's iron ore.

And Li Chou knew that Zhang Rao had taken the bait, so he quickly rushed back to Sanmiaotang and told Luo Dafu and Ling Shantu and others everything.

A game of chess began to revolve around the Zhang family.

Li Chouxin discussed with Luo Dafu and said: "Brother Luo, in order to convince Zhang Rao, I have to ask Brother Luo and Brother Xu for a little favor tonight." ”

Luo Dafu was curious, "What's busy, just say it directly." ”

"I want to ask the two of you to follow me to the ordnance refinery tonight and put on a play." After Li Chouxin finished speaking, he leaned close to Luo Dafu and whispered in his ear.

After hearing this, Luo Dafu laughed, "Worried brother is smart, but will he be a little cruel to the young master of the Zhang family?" ”

Li Chou said: "They have lived a good life for so many years, and it is time to endure hardships. ”

So after some discussion, several people went their separate ways.

In the evening, Li Chouxin found Zhang Rao, and the two planned to transport the iron ore to the ordnance factory after the two of them combined.

And Luo Dafu and Xu Sanqiu, who had been prepared in advance, mixed into the back of the team in disguise.

Arrived at the ordnance factory on the outskirts of the city, after some interrogation and inspection, the team entered smoothly, while the iron ore was being unloaded, Li Chouxin signaled Zhang Rao to take him around, Zhang Rao found an excuse to check the progress, and began to walk around with Li Chouxin.

When they arrived outside the warehouse where the finished products were stored, they saw that those craftsmen had divided the ordnance and armor of different qualities into two categories, each setting them aside, and Li Chou asked in his heart, "Why is this?" ”

Zhang Rao is accustomed to explaining: "Of course, this is a differentiated treatment, and the good ones are sold, and those defective products are made of leftovers, because the leftovers are limited, and they can only be transported to the border when they are stored enough, so the border will be vulnerable and insufficient ordnance." ”

When Li Chou heard this, he was angry in his heart, but for the sake of the overall situation, he endured it and said calmly: "Let's take a look forward, maybe there will be an unexpected discovery." ”

Until they reached a corner, there was almost no one here, and it was relatively dark, Zhang Rao said: "Brother Sorrowful, there is nothing in front of you, let's go to other places to see." ”

At this moment, a conversation suddenly came from outside the wall of the warehouse.

"Did you see Lord Yan? Master Hu has something to discuss with him. ”

"Lord Yan has been here before, but then he said that he was going to the second and second floors to negotiate with people about new iron ore supply channels, and he should be on the second and second floors at this moment."

"Got it, I'll go to the second and second floors!"

When Zhang Rao and Li Chou heard this, Zhang Rao was furious, and they were about to come forward to ask, but they were stopped by Li Chouxin, "Calm down, Zhang Shao, this information shows that at least tonight is not in vain, and it needs to be considered in the long run." ”

In an instant, the sound of the conversation stopped, but it left an indelible mark on Zhang Rao's heart.

Li Chou knew that the goal had been achieved, so he said to Zhang Rao: "I see that I have seen almost everything here, why don't we go to the second and second floors to observe and see if Yan Zefa is really there." ”

Zhang Rao suddenly realized, didn't care about the iron ore that had not been unloaded, threw down the team and Li Chouxin and rushed to the second and second floors.

The two sat down in the tea shop not far from the second and second floors, staring straight at the door of the second and second floors.

After a while, I saw Yan Zefa walking out of the second and second floors accompanied by one person, and headed in the direction of the Assassin's Mansion.

When Zhang Rao saw this, he was angry and frightened, and hurriedly said goodbye to Li Chouxin, and bluntly said that he would quickly go back to Zhang's Mansion to inform Zhang Shu of everything, and rode away before he finished speaking.

Li Chouxin looked at Zhang Rao who was far away, and sighed that this game of chess had already started.
