Chapter 31: Revenge
PS: I'm going to a friend's wedding today, so update early.
The Li family really doesn't dare to do anything now, they are afraid that the Chu family will choose to destroy their Li family at this time, and even do a very low-key job for the burial of Li Zhao and Li Zhong.
After waiting for more than ten days, there was no real action on the Chu family's side, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
In the lobby, Li Yun and Li Cheng sat in the center, both with gloomy faces, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it seemed to be able to drip water.
Li Zhao is dead, Li Zhong is also dead, the Chu family seems to have never happened to them, and they don't want to do anything to them as if they are charity, but the Li family can't swallow this breath!
At this moment, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old suddenly walked in outside the hall, he walked in, and cautiously bowed his hand to Li Cheng and Li Yunyi: "Big brother, second brother." ”
Li Yunyi frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"
Li Cheng glared at Li Yun, and said with a smile on his face: "Aze, do you have something?"
The young man bowed his head and said, "The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother have already gone, but my Li family is not without people, so I also want to come out and do things and lead my Li family's caravan to Yan Country again." ”
Li Yun showed a sneer, and Li Cheng said softly: "Aze, you are still young now, the Li family has enough support from us, your task now is to cultivate, only by improving your cultivation can you come to help us."
Go back, practice hard, and rest assured, the Li family will not collapse. ”
Li Ze opened his mouth, and just wanted to say that Li Zhao also came out to lead the caravan when he was eighteen or nineteen years old, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it again, and just arched his hand to the two of them: "Then the eldest brother and the second brother, I will go down." ”
When Li Ze left, Li Yun sneered disdainfully and said, "What's the matter!" Did he think that if the third brother died, he would be able to replace the third brother?
When the younger generation of the Li family is mentioned in Tongzhou Mansion, they will say that Li Zhao and others are the three tigers of the Li family, but in fact, the head of the Li family is also the same as Chu Zongguang and has four sons.
It's just that Li Zhao and the other three are compatriots of the same mother, and the youngest Li Ze was born to a concubine, so he was naturally rejected by the three of them.
Li Cheng glared at Li Yun and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Aze is also our fourth brother no matter what he says." ”
Li Yun sneered: "I don't admit that he is my fourth brother, look at it, the third brother has only been dead for a long time, and he jumped out to ask for power, I really thought he was a dish!"
Big brother, I'm afraid that in the end you treat him as a brother, but he doesn't treat you as a brother. ”
Li Cheng waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this point first, what do you mean by the enmity between the third brother and Uncle Zhong?"
As soon as he heard Li Cheng say this, Li Yun's face suddenly showed a hideous look and said, "Of course I have to report it!"
Li Cheng said in a deep voice: "But if you want to take revenge, you can't directly seek revenge from the Chu family, with the current strength of my Li family, going to the Chu family for revenge is tantamount to blocking the car with a mantis arm." ”
Li Yun frowned and said: "If you don't move, how can the Chu family move Chu Xiu?" Chu Zongguang can't watch his son being killed, big brother, what is the plan, just say it, I will do it." ”
Among the three brothers of the Li family, the eldest Li Cheng is the most calm, and Li Yun is hot-tempered, but because of this, the younger Li Yun's strength is stronger than Li Cheng's, and most of the time the Li family is also advised by Li Cheng and implemented by Li Yun.
Li Cheng said with a gloomy face: "It's not just our Li family who wants Chu Xiu to die, there are even more people in the Chu family who want him to die, how did the third brother have a grudge against this Chu Xiu?
Now we are looking for Chu Xiu to take revenge, Ding Kaishan's daughter, the second lady of the Chu family, must be very interested.
At the moment, Chu Xiu does not live in the Chu family's mansion, as long as the second lady of the Chu family can help us drag down the person who reported the news at the critical moment, and prevent the Chu family from knowing that we are doing something to Chu Xiu, with the two of us plus the entire Li family, can't we kill a Chu Xiu?"
Li Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, what Li Cheng said was reasonable, as long as the second lady of the Chu family was willing to cooperate, gathering all the strength of their Li family would not be able to deal with Chu Xiu?
You must know that there are only a few dozen people in total under Chu Xiu's command, and if their Li family finds out all the subordinates and clansmen who have reached the Quenching Realm, it will be enough to have hundreds of people!
Li Cheng said to Li Yun: "You go to Ding Kaishan now, ask him to send a message to the second lady of the Chu family, and ask him if he is willing to help my Li family with this favor, I am sure that she will agree with ninety percent certainty."
I'm going to go to the Shen family and meet Shen Rong, the chief housekeeper of the Shen family. ”
Li Yun frowned and said, "What are you doing at the Shen family?"
Li Cheng sighed and said: "Even if there is no Chu Zongguang to stop us, we can successfully kill Chu Xiu, but no matter what Chu Xiu says, he is also Chu Zongguang's own son, even if it is for the sake of face, Chu Zongguang will not let Chu Xiu die in vain, so my Li family will inevitably be retaliated by the Chu family." Right now, in Tongzhou Mansion, the only one who can keep us is the Shen family. ”
After being silent for a long time, Li Yun said, "What price do you need to pay?"
Li Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Half of the entire Li family's family business!"
"What!?"
Li Yun stood up violently: "Big brother, are you crazy?"
Li Cheng closed his eyes and said: "My Li family has reached this point, if you don't start to be ruthless, I'm afraid Shen Rong won't agree, and this Shen Rong himself is also greedy, instead of bargaining with him, it is better to feed him at one time."
This Shen housekeeper's strength is ordinary, and his ability is even more ordinary, but he used to be an old servant who served Shen Bai and Shen Mo, and his status in the Shen family is very high, and he has the ability to protect my Li family.
And after taking out half of the family business, my Li family has lost the qualification to sit on an equal footing with the Shen family, and it happens to completely take refuge in the Shen family and become its vassal, so that they can continue to survive in this Tongzhou Mansion.
Don't feel aggrieved, even if an ordinary small family wants to be a vassal of the Shen family, the Shen family may not accept it. ”
Li Yun was also silent, in the past, when their Li family was the strongest, they could also sit on an equal footing with the Shen family, but now they want to be vassals of the Li family, which is not pleasant.
Li Chengdao: "Okay, the matter is decided for the time being, let's prepare now, and it will change later." ”
Li Yun nodded, and the two of them left together, but none of them noticed that in the dark corner of the Li family's mansion, Li Ze looked at the backs of the two people, and there was a grim look in his eyes.
At this time, in the Chu family's restaurant, Chu Xiu picked a private room near the window, ordered a few drinks and dishes with Ma Kuo, and chatted while drinking.
Usually Chu Xiu is not so idle, but he has just come out of retreat, and he has not even seen the sun for more than ten days, and now he can be regarded as relaxing.
At this time, the shopkeeper of the restaurant personally served a shiny red roast chicken, placed it on Chu Xiu's table, and said with a smile: "Second son, this is a golden chicken produced in the barren mountains of Liaodong in the north, growing up eating pine nuts and drinking snow water, the meat is delicious, because the speed is extremely fast, even some old hunters are not easy to hunt, so it is also called a flying dragon, the so-called heavenly dragon meat, and donkey meat on the ground." This dragon meat refers to this flying dragon meat.
It just so happened that two days ago, a Yan Kingdom caravan brought a few, and I specially left it for the second son. ”
Ma Kuo's eyes lit up on the other side, and he directly tore off a thigh and gnawed it, muttering while chewing in his mouth: "That's right, that's the taste! Since I left the Northland, I haven't eaten it for a long time." ”
The shopkeeper of the restaurant glared at Ma Kuo, he had never seen such an unruly subordinate, and the second son hadn't put down the chopsticks yet, so you started first.
Chu Xiu waved his hand casually and said, "Okay, go down, I have received your heart." ”
Hearing Chu Xiu say this, the shopkeeper showed a hint of joy at this time.
Chu Xiu tore off a piece of chicken and tasted it, it tasted really good, and it was extremely delicious.
But just as he was about to share this flying dragon meat with Ma Kuo, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old pushed the door and walked in, with a smile on his face: "Young Master Chu Xiu, do you still have the heart to eat and drink here?" Do you know that you are about to be in great trouble!"
Hearing this young man say this, Ma Kuo chewed the chicken leg while showing a smile on his face, while Chu Xiu patted the Yanling knife on his table, and said lightly: "Those who have strength, those who speak so that they are Xuan Xuan are called high-profound, and those who are not powerful are called looking for death!"
When the words fell, Chu Xiu's eyes suddenly revealed a touch of violent murderous intent, which made the young man in front of him, who had never seen blood, suddenly frightened and couldn't help but take a step back.
There was a hint of shame in his eyes, but he no longer played tricks, but closed the door, sat next to Chu Xiu, and arched his hand at Chu Xiu: "Li Ze of the Xia Li family." ”
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "The Li family's sideline?"
Li Ze's eyes showed a hint of anger and said, "It's a descendant! I am the fourth son of the Li family!"
Chu Xiu patted his head, and then remembered that it seemed that there was really such a person in the Li family.
However, this Li Ze's sense of existence is too low, outsiders always say what the Li family three tigers and the like, talking and talking, naturally ignore this Li Ze.
Chu Xiu nodded casually and said, "Come to think of it, let's talk about it, what are you going to do today?"
Li Ze looked at Chu Xiu and said in a deep voice: "I just came to tell Chu Xiu Gongzi you a piece of news, my eldest brother and second brother are now ready to kill you!"
