Chu Xiu's caravan was to visit Yan Kingdom, but in fact they only arrived at Qingyuan Town, a border town in Yan Kingdom.

Because Wei County was a small country bordering Yan before, Qingyuan Town was only a buffer zone between these two countries before, until Yan State destroyed Wei State, Qingyuan Town was established in this place, as a place for mutual trade between Yan State and Wei County.

Some of the specialties of the Yan Kingdom can be bought here, and Chu Xiu's caravan can also directly sell the goods to the merchants of the Yan Kingdom here.

This trip to Chu Xiu's caravan went very smoothly, and it only took ten days to go back and forth.

And this time it has also changed many people's opinions of him, this second prince doesn't seem to be as useless as before, especially those caravan people, who have a lot of respect for Chu Xiu.

At this time, in a practice room in the backyard of the Chu family, an old butler with gray hair was reporting to Chu Zongguang about Chu Xiu.

This old housekeeper's surname is Chen, although he is also the housekeeper of the Chu family, but he is extremely low-key, he is only responsible for serving Chu Zongguang on weekdays, although he has no real power in his hands, but he is the oldest one in the Chu family.

Don't look at Chu Zongguang who retreats every day, as if he doesn't care about family affairs, but through Steward Chen, don't try to hide from him about the big and small things of the Chu family.

After hearing this, Chu Zongguang's eyes showed a look of surprise, but then he snorted coldly and said: "This kid is also too risky, he does this, in case the bandit on the other side doesn't eat it, and would rather kill him than the goods, what should he do?"

Also, if that gang of bandits is not strong enough to escort them out of the Dead Mountain, won't his money be wasted?"

Steward Chen said with a smile: "But the luck of the second son is not bad, the bandits who robbed him only recently came to the Dead Mountain, and the strength is good, I heard that through the matter of the second son, the rules have been initially established in the place of the Dead Mountain."

Anyway, it is at least better to have rules than no rules, and in the future, the people of my Wei County will enter and exit the Yanbi Mountain, but it will be much easier than before. ”

After saying this, Steward Chen hesitated a little and said, "Master of the family, the old slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Chu Zongguang said lightly: "Old Chen, you have followed me for decades, what else can't you say?"

Steward Chen said in a low voice: "Family Master, in fact, our Chu family is already very strong now.

Although the eldest prince has a reckless personality, his martial arts talent is not bad, and careful teaching is also innate hope for the future.

Although the second son was not competitive before, he has become good after the training in the Nanshan mining area, although his personality is radical and bold, but his ability to do things is still quite strong.

Although the third son's mind is a little gloomy, he is also cautious and cautious enough to do things.

Although the fourth son is young, he is very early and wise, and he will become a great tool in the future if he is carefully cultivated.

Family master, if you can give up studying that thing, teach the four sons well, and don't let them continue to fight, my Chu family may be able to compete with the Shen family in the future. ”

As soon as he heard this, Chu Zongguang's face suddenly became gloomy: "Lao Chen, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? You have followed me for so many years, you should know how much I paid for it, and even did not hesitate to leave my hometown to come to this Tongzhou Mansion!"

What is a Shen family? Figure out its usage, let alone a mere Tongzhou Mansion in the future, even if it is the entire Wei County, I Chu Zongguang will not be in my eyes!"

Steward Chen shook his head lightly and sighed silently.

He is the old man of the Chu family, and Chu Zongguang in his youth can definitely be regarded as a young talent, but he went out in the early years, and after bringing back that thing, Chu Zongguang was like a crazy demon, and moved to this Tongzhou Mansion with his family, not caring about anything, just focusing on that thing.

If Chu Zongguang could concentrate on developing the Chu family, the scale of the Chu family would definitely be stronger now than it is now.

Glancing at Steward Chen, Chu Zongguang said in a low voice: "Old Chen, I understand what you mean, don't worry, I know all these things in my heart."

I'm not dead yet, my sons are all worried about the position of the head of the family, and the fourth child can still be honest.

In the past, they used to fight in secret, but now that they like to fight, I'll let them come openly, as long as they don't cause trouble for me.

Okay Lao Chen, you go out, help me watch them, don't let them cause a big incident. ”

Chu Zongguang insisted on going his own way, and Steward Chen could also shake his head and retreat with a sigh.

At this time, Chu Xiu didn't know what Chu Zongguang, the cheap father, was thinking, but he had a very good time during this time.

He followed the caravan once and then stopped caring about it, anyway, the trade routes were already open, and he just had to wait for the money to be collected.

The proceeds of the caravan are normally divided into three parts, one is stored in the caravan to buy materials for the next trade, one is given to the family, and one is kept for oneself.

Chu Xiu was in charge of the caravan, and without hesitation, he gave himself a part of the income that should have been given to the family without leaving a trace.

The Chu family is the Chu family, Chu Xiu is Chu Xiu, for him, the entire Chu family, and even the entire Tongzhou Mansion are just a springboard for him, a springboard for him to enter the rivers and lakes, of course, Chu Xiu must first think about his own interests.

During this period of caravan business, Chu Xiu had been practicing swords and cultivating internal skills in his courtyard, and even Gao Bei couldn't stand that desperate style.

Chu Xiu is not a masochist, but the future is unknown, and there is a sense of urgency that forces him to improve his strength as soon as possible.

In the original plot, it was mentioned that the predecessor of his body was Tongzhou Mansion, which only left after experiencing a family incident, and stepped into the rivers and lakes, experiencing ups and downs, which led to a great change in temperament.

As for what this family incident was and when it would happen, Chu Xiu didn't know anything.

Therefore, he could only find a way to use the resources of the Chu family to cultivate as soon as possible, and then leave the Chu family directly.

According to Chu Xiu's estimate, as long as his talent is not bad to the point of anger and resentment, after Chu Xiu becomes the heir of the head of the Chu family and gets a lot of resources, he should be able to step into the innate soon.

Of course, the rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be taken step by step, and what Chu Xiu has to consider at the moment is not congenital, but the blood coagulation realm.

Quenching the body is relatively simple, boiling the muscles and bones of the body, because there are some innate skills to lay the foundation, plus the replenishing qi powder that Chu Xiu asked for from the pharmacy during this time and some pills that he bought separately, these have added up to a month to greatly increase Chu Xiu's strength.

If the current Chu Xiu fought against the bandit who robbed him before, Chu Xiu would not need to dodge at all, and he could slash the other party with a single knife with his strength.

The really difficult thing was the Blood Condensation Realm, and now Chu Xiu had felt that he had reached the peak of the Quenching Body Realm, but after eating several Blood Condensation Pills, he felt that his blood still had no obvious changes, and obviously he still needed to hone for a while.

Chu Xiu's life is good, but some people are not doing well, such as Chu Sheng, the third elder of the Chu family.

Originally, the only person in the Chu family who was qualified to be his opponent was the boss Chu Kai, but now Chu Xiu has sprung up, has enough prestige in the Chu family, and is also in charge of the caravan, he can go three or four times a month, and every time he can bring huge benefits, Chu Sheng is blushing.

The main thing is that these gains fell into Chu Xiu's hands, which made Chu Sheng feel a great threat.

After walking around the house several times, Chu Sheng frowned and said: "Mother, I can't go on like this, this Chu Xiu's reputation in the family has been completely reversed, and the income of the caravan has directly doubled in his hands, if I continue like this, I will lose in a year! The caravan can't continue to stay in Chu Xiu's hands!"

The second lady frowned and said, "You want this caravan? It's not that easy, the lord won't give you this caravan." ”

Chu Sheng's eyes showed a hint of coldness and said, "Father won't give it to me, but what if the fourth brother wants him?"

When it came to Chu Sheng, the fourth elder of the Chu family, Chu Sheng's eyes also showed jealousy.

The fourth son of the Chu family, the eldest Chu Kai, was favored a lot when he was a teenager, and later Chu Zongguang was in retreat all the year round and ignored him, not to mention Chu Xiu and Chu Sheng later.

Only this youngest Chu Injury is said to be very similar to Chu Zongguang when he was a child, so even now he is quite loved by Chu Zongguang, which is incomparable to the three of them.

The second lady's eyes showed a gleam and said, "It's not impossible, I'll try." ”
