Chapter 6: Ruthless
Inside the carriage, Yue'er was trembling, she couldn't figure it out, obviously the second lady had all arranged it, and now there would be such an unexpected change.
Chu Xiu's previous waste was well-known within the Chu family, his martial arts talent was not strong, but now he could easily seriously injure the bandit leader who looked fierce and vicious.
And the later group of people, why did they come to help Chu Xiu? I can't figure out what I think about these months.
At this time, the carriage was suddenly opened, and watching Chu Xiu board the carriage, Yue'er immediately changed into a pitiful appearance.
"Childe, have all those bandits been repulsed?"
Chu Xiu put his hand on Yue'er's face, touched the smooth and delicate face, and said, "Of course, they were all repulsed." β
Just when Yue'er was just breathing a sigh of relief, Chu Xiu's hand slid down Yue'er's face and pinched her neck, slowly exerting force.
Chu Xiu leaned his face in front of Yue'er's face and said lightly: "The bandits were repulsed, and I didn't die, are you very disappointed?"
Looking at the familiar but very unfamiliar face that was close at hand, Yue'er barely squeezed out a smile and said: "Childe said that it was a good thing that the bandits were repulsed, how could the slave family be disappointed." β
Chu Xiu sneered, and the hand holding Yue'er's neck became tighter and tighter, until the other party's face was already red, and he struggled to spit out a word, Chu Xiu let go of his hand and said coldly: "Do you really think I'm an idiot?"
Yue'er's face showed a look of horror, and she trembled and said, "Gong...... Childe, you know everything?"
Feeling Chu Xiu's hand begin to tighten again, Yue'er hurriedly said, "I said, Son, I said everything! The second lady spent 10,000 taels of silver to invite these bandits!"
Chu Xiu sneered and said, "Ten thousand taels of silver, what a big deal!" My second mother hates me so much, in order to prevent me from returning to the Chu family, would you rather spend 10,000 taels of silver to rob and kill me?"
Yue'er said cautiously: "The second lady said, Gongzi, you have always stood on the side of the eldest son, sooner or later it will be bad, plus she has recently won over the fourth son, just to get rid of the son, so as to prevent future troubles." β
Chu Xiu was also a little speechless when he heard this, with his body, Chu Xiu had indeed done a lot of stupid things before.
The four sons of Chu Zongguang, the head of the Chu family, even if Chu Xiu was a concubine before, and the chance of inheriting the position of the head of the family is very small, then there is a chance, why bother to stand in line so early?
It was precisely because he stood in line a little too early, so Chu Kai, the boss of the Chu family, and his eldest mother didn't regard him as the same thing at all, and they didn't interfere when he was trapped by Chu Sheng, the third elder of the Chu family.
If he hasn't stood in line, then what awaits him is to be wooed, just like the fourth elder of the Chu family, Chu is injured, although he is young, he has been won over by his second mother at a great cost, where is he like him, being done at a great cost.
In the past, Chu Xiu had long given up competing for the position of head of the family, maybe out of despair, maybe he really had no ambition, but now Chu Xiu is a little interested in this position.
In fact, Chu Xiu, the head of a small family, didn't care too much, after all, according to the original plot, he would become the leader of the Demon Sect in the future.
But the problem is that that is the original plot, and the current Chu Xiu is Chu Xiu after being reborn and crossed, God knows what things will turn out of, so the meal must be eaten bite by bite, and the road must be taken step by step, and the position of the heir of the head of the Chu family will be obtained first.
Since ancient times, it has been poor and rich in martial arts, from boiling muscles and bones to condensing qi and blood, which does not need a lot of resources and time?
Becoming the heir of the head of the family, not to mention that all the resources of the Chu family are his, at least half of them are his, which can make Chu Xiu progress faster in martial arts.
Chu Xiu looked at Yue'er and said lightly: "My second mother actually chose to invite the bandits to kill me, isn't she afraid of being discovered by the people of the Chu family?
Since Chu Xiu chose to compete for the position of the heir to the head of the family, his three brothers were all obstacles, and now if he could get the evidence, he could completely eliminate one first.
Yue'er thought for a while and said: "There is no evidence, the second lady is a bandit who directly asked one of her henchmen to look for them, and those bandits only know that it is someone from the Chu family who came to find them, and they don't even know who it is." No evidence remains on paper. β
After saying this, Yue'er looked at Chu Xiu with a pitiful expression: "Childe, I have said everything that should be said, can you spare my life?"
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill women." β
Hearing this, Yue'er suddenly showed a relieved smile on her face, but Chu Xiu suddenly exerted force and directly crushed her neck!
Looking at Yue'er, who was already out of breath and still had a puzzled look in her eyes, Chu Xiu said lightly: "Lie to you, you believe this, so naΓ―ve and still learn to be an undercover agent?"
Chu Xiu dragged Yue'er's body out of the carriage and instructed Gao Bei, "Bury her." β
Gao Bei and the other subordinates were all trembling, but no one said anything.
Yue'er is a maid bought by the Chu family with money, and her life is from the Chu family, of course, she can play if she wants to play, and kill if she wants to kill.
And in the past two days, the second son is obviously a little wrong, and his ruthlessness seems to be a different person, and they don't dare to talk nonsense.
Seven days later, Chu Xiu finally walked out of the Dead Mountain, and a lively state capital appeared in front of Chu Xiu at the end of the official road, which was the Tongzhou Mansion where the Chu family was located, one of the few large state capitals in Wei County.
Speaking of the origin of the entire Wei County, it is also very interesting.
Wei County was originally a small state, Wei State, between the Northern Yan and Eastern Qi, among the three major powers in the world, once helped Qi to attack Yan, but was finally destroyed by Yan.
Yan State because of the hatred of Wei State to attack Yan State, so the implementation of high-pressure policies in Wei County, so that the people of Wei County and the people in the martial arts rebelled one after another, and even Yan State's general 'Hengshan Bajian' Fang Longquan who was guarding Wei County was seriously injured by the mysterious man and abolished an arm, and for a while Wei County was in chaos, forcing Yan State, which did not dare to slaughter the city, to temporarily withdraw its troops.
In the end, Yan Guo still reached an agreement with Wei County that he would not garrison troops in Wei County, but would send civilian officials to manage it.
Therefore, Wei County is nominally under the jurisdiction of Yan State, and the tax revenue must also be handed over to Yan State, but in fact it is a land of its own.
Of course, these major events between the court have nothing to do with a small family like the Chu family, without the jurisdiction of the people in the court, the atmosphere of the martial arts in Wei County is very free, and some martial arts forces are also extremely nourishing.
The Chu family is one of the three major families in Tongzhou Mansion, and there is a street in the south of the city that is the place of the Chu family.
The carriage stopped in front of the Chu family, and as soon as Chu Xiu got out of the car, he saw the gate being pushed open, and a middle-aged lady in her forties, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, walked out with a group of maids, and saw Chu Xiu standing in front of the carriage, her complexion suddenly changed slightly.
Seeing the person in front of him, Chu Xiu had a faint smile on his face, arched his hand and said, "I've seen Erniang, I haven't seen you for a year, but Erniang is getting younger and younger." β
The lady in front of her is the mother of Chu Sheng, the third elder of the Chu family, the second lady of the Chu family, who can be called ruthless.
Although it was Chu Sheng who caused him to be demoted to the mine before, it was most likely the second lady who came up with the idea behind it.
And this second lady has a lot of background, she is the only daughter of Ding Kaishan, the owner of the Kaishan Martial Arts Hall in Tongzhou Mansion.
Ding Kaishan is the head snake of Tongzhou Mansion, although his strength has not reached the innate realm, but it is also the peak of the blood condensation realm, and he is very open in all aspects of Tongzhou Mansion.
More than 20 years ago, the Chu family just moved to Tongzhou Mansion, and it was precisely because Chu Xiu's father, Chu Zongguang, married Ding Kaishan's daughter, that they were able to take root in Tongzhou Mansion so quickly.
The second lady looked at Chu Xiu with a smile on her face in front of her, and she couldn't help frowning.
Obviously it was all arranged, how could this Chu Xiu come back alive? Could it be that Yue'er's stupid girl messed things up, and Chu Xiu didn't take the path of Yuanbao Town?
The second lady looked around and didn't see Yue'er's figure, she couldn't help asking, "What about your maid Yue'er?"
Chu Xiu shook his head with pity and said: "Yue'er's body is too weak, and she was accidentally played to death by me, I heard that Erniang still has some good-looking maids, why don't you give me another one?"
As he spoke, Chu Xiu's gaze looked unscrupulously at the maids behind the second lady, which immediately made those maids change their complexion.
The second lady's expression changed suddenly, Yue'er died? So did he know about the robbers who arranged for the robbers to rob and kill Chu Xiu?
And she hadn't seen her for more than a year, she felt that Chu Xiu in front of her seemed to be a different person, a year ago, he didn't dare to talk to herself like this!
Snorted coldly, the second lady said lightly: "Since you're back, let's go in, my lord, they're all waiting for you." β
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked Gao Bei to take someone down to rest first, while he followed the second lady into the Chu family's meeting hall.
