Chapter 21: Tough

When Chu Xiu returned to the Chu family, the entire Chu family was already in chaos.

Chu Hurt was lying on the stretcher and wailing in pain, while the third lady was lying on Chu Hurt's body and crying.

The eldest Chu Kai and the eldest lady gloated, while the third and second ladies were faking comfort, but the acting skills were a little clumsy, and even Chu Xiu couldn't stand it.

Chu Zongguang sat on the main seat, his expression was gloomy, and his anger was like a volcano, which could erupt at any time.

As for the other elders of the Chu family, they have never been very careful, especially now that it involves the own son of the head of the family, they are even more difficult to speak.

Liu Youcheng, the previous caravan steward, knelt in the center, trembling and telling everyone what had happened in detail, and the more he talked about Chu Zongguang, the more gloomy his expression became.

And at this time, a doctor also walked in, he just glanced at it, then shook his head and said: "Master of the Chu family, your son's limbs are broken, if he picks up in time, he can still walk, but now that several days have passed, he has been completely abolished, and I am afraid that he can only stay in bed in this life." ”

As soon as she heard this, the three ladies cried even harder.

Seeing this messy scene, Chu Xiu didn't say anything, just sat on the side, and drank it slowly with a cup of tea.

Seeing Chu Xiu's leisurely appearance, the third Chu Sheng suddenly said: "Second brother, the fourth brother has been injured like this, do you still have the heart to drink tea here?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looked at Chu Xiu, and even Chu Zongguang's gaze towards Chu Xiu was a little unkind.

He is very angry in his heart now, Chu Xiu can't say a word, but it is easy to become the object of his anger.

Chu Xiu snorted coldly, put down the teacup heavily, and said coldly: "I'm happy, I'm almost crying now!"

The fourth brother is gone, I cry twice like you, can the fourth brother be fine?

Before leaving, I told the fourth brother to be careful and careful, and it turned out that there was such a thing.

The fourth brother is young and inexperienced, and his steward doesn't know how to dissuade him, if they don't all die this time, I will kill them again!"

Chu Xiu walked out, bowed to Chu Zongguang, and said in a deep voice: "Father, now is not the time to cry, once this matter is not handled well, then not only the fourth brother will cry there, but our Chu family will cry together!"

Those bandits abolished the fourth brother and robbed my Chu family's goods, and the two sides have formed a great enmity, but will we fight or not?

If it is a fight, then we must investigate the location of the other party's cottage and the strength of the other party, after all, the leader of the bandits has the strength to easily kill Lin Qian.

And if we don't fight, will our Chu family's caravan be robbed next time it enters the Dead Mountain? I won't say much about who is right and who is wrong in this matter, anyway, this matter will not be over, in the future, our Chu family will not go to the Dead Mountain, just take a long detour to the official road, all this, now you have to decide, Father!"

Chu Xiu took the lead, and his momentum was extremely calm, and he actually suppressed everyone present.

When these words were spoken, the faces of everyone present changed slightly, and even Chu Sheng couldn't care about crying there.

This matter is definitely a big deal for the current Chu family, if it is fought, does their Chu family have this ability now?

His favorite son was deposed, of course Chu Zongguang was angry, but after all, human life was still there, and he would not go crazy to that extent.

The Chu family has not been very careful in the past 20 years, except for him, there are very few martial artists in the Chu family who can really fight, and there is no advantage at all to compare with those bandits who have hundreds or even thousands of people.

The most important thing is the strength of the bandit leader.

With the eyesight of Liu Youcheng and the others, they couldn't tell whether the bandit who killed Lin Qian was condensation or innate, but listening to him describe the result of that battle, the other party was likely to be in the innate realm, and that kind of strength could almost be regarded as crushing.

This time, if he fights hard, he is not sure of victory.

And the rest of Chu Kai and Chu Sheng, as well as those elders of the Chu family, all thought the same.

The Chu family is not only Chu Zongguang's Chu family, but also their Chu family.

In order to avenge Chu's injury, they ended up taking the entire Chu family to fight those bandits, which was obviously not what they wanted to see.

Chu Xiu stepped aside, a look of mockery in his eyes.

As far as the virtue of the Chu family is concerned, it is really not easy to persist until now, everyone is considering their own interests, no one will consider the Chu family as a whole at all, and even now Chu Xiu has a feeling, even his father is like this, he also considers his own interests, as if he doesn't care much about the Chu family.

Chu Kai coughed and said: "Father, this matter is better to consider in the long run, those bandits have been entrenched in the Yanbi Mountain for so many years, even the officers and soldiers can't do anything, and even the strongest Shen family in our Tongzhou Mansion has acquiesced in their existence, we are a little unwise to do it at this time." ”

Chu Sheng also said on the side: "The eldest brother is right, we must be cautious in this matter, besides, this matter is also reckless by the fourth brother, even if those bandits are greedy, they are only greedy for two hundred taels of silver, give them it, where would they get such a big trouble like now, and cause my Chu family's master of the blood condensation realm to lose his life." ”

When these two people finished speaking, the other elders of the Chu family also agreed, persuading Chu Zongguang to calm down.

Although they are all old and can't live for a few years, some of their sons and nephews are still in charge of the Chu family.

They don't care about the struggle for power and profit of the sons of the Chu family, but once the interests of the entire Chu family are involved, they can't ignore it.

At this time, the third lady who was lying on Chu Wound's body saw the change in everyone, and she couldn't help crying: "Master, you have to be the master of the injury!"

Chu Zongguang frowned and said, "Shut up! Do you think I don't want to avenge my wounds? But for the sake of one wounded son, can I bet on the entire Chu family?"

And the injury, too, before leaving, I told him to be careful, but he was still so reckless and caused so much trouble!"

was yelled at by Chu Zongguang like this, and the third lady didn't dare to speak at all.

Chu Injury has been abolished, and she has no hope in the Chu family in the future, and if she offends Chu Zongguang again, she is likely to be driven out of the Chu family directly.

At this time, an elder of the Chu family suddenly coughed and said, "Family master, at this time, it is really unwise for our Chu family to take revenge on the Dead Mountain.

But people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads. As long as our Chu family's caravan still wants to continue to walk in the Dead Mountain, there must be a result in this matter, otherwise this caravan will be robbed again, and my Chu family will not be able to accept it. ”

The person who spoke was Chu Xiu's eldest uncle and ancestor, and he was also the eldest among the elders, he was already over eighty years old, and he usually didn't care about things, but this matter was too involved, and he was afraid that Chu Zongguang would be too impulsive, so he spoke.

Chu Zongguang also took the opportunity to get off the donkey, nodded and said: "What Uncle said is that for the time being, let those bandits go once, and find an opportunity to solve them at once, but next time the caravan, who should lead it?"

Everyone present looked at each other, and the gang of bandits did not hesitate to abolish Chu's injury, proving that they didn't take the Chu family in their eyes at all, who would dare to go over again?

At this time, the eldest uncle looked at Chu Xiu, and said with a kind smile on his face: "Chu Xiu, among the brothers, you are bold and careful, and you have the strongest ability. You did a good job the last time you went on a business, you didn't lose the face of my Chu family, and you also brought benefits to the caravan, why don't you go again this time." ”

Chu Kai and the others all showed a complicated look on their faces.

It's very simple to see who has the ability, if something happens to the family, everyone will be the first to find whom, obviously whoever is in everyone's hearts will have the most weight.

Now as soon as Uncle Zu opened his mouth, he obviously thought that Chu Xiu's ability was better than all of them.

Of course, they didn't go to Chu Xiu to grab this limelight, and they didn't do such a dangerous thing for nothing.

Chu Xiu didn't agree, but just sneered in his heart.

This old thing is a good idea, when it is the turn of a dangerous task, he will become a young man of the Chu family? Chu Xiu remembers clearly, when the family was in the meeting, these elders didn't even look at him squarely.

Chu Zongguang also coughed and said, "Chu Xiu, since the uncle has said so, then it's up to you to go." ”

Chu Xiu still didn't agree, he just stood up and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask my father, does my Chu family still have rules?"

Chu Zongguang frowned and said, "What is this called?" Of course there is. ”

Chu Xiu said lightly: "Since there are rules, then things can't be done like this!"

The caravan is in my care, and the income is doubled in my hands, and my father said that he wanted to exercise the fourth brother, yes, but I gave the caravan to the fourth brother without saying a word.

As a result, Chu hurt him messed things up, but asked me to wipe his ass, who is responsible? And whose caravan is in the end?

If things go on like this, then the father, the child will not accept it!"

Chu Xiu's last sentence suddenly made everyone present stunned.

Although Chu Zongguang has not been in charge of the affairs of the Chu family over the years, his prestige within the Chu family has not slipped much, after all, his strength is here.

Chu Xiu can be said to be the first person who dared to disobey Chu Zongguang's orders in so many years, and this person is still his own son.
