In the inn, Chu Xiu rubbed his face against the bronze mirror, just now he killed a person neatly, and he was extremely ruthless, but he didn't feel the slightest discomfort.

In his previous life, Chu Xiu had watched underground black boxing and killing games in order to find excitement, but he had never killed anyone himself.

Fang Cai's own performance is mostly because of the memory of this life.

When he was in the Chu family before, Chu Xiu was indeed very cowardly, but in a place like Nanshan Mining Area, in the face of all kinds of criminals and murderers, Chu Xiu's original character would be affected by the environment, from cowardice to violent and crazy, and even in his memory, he seemed to have killed a few disobedient criminals in the Nanshan Mining Area before.

Now Chu Xiu vaguely understands why his body has changed from a cowardly family concubine to the final villain of the third version in the original world, and this experience in the Nanshan mining area has a great impact on Chu Xiu.

Maybe even the Chu family itself couldn't have imagined that it was because of their family struggle, but the result was to create a big devil who confused the world.

After nightfall, Chu Xiu suddenly called one of his subordinates, Gao Bei.

Gao Bei is responsible for managing the more than ten small leaders of his subordinates, of course, although he is called a small leader, he is actually a subordinate, and his status within the Chu family is very low, otherwise he would not have been sent to follow Chu Xiu.

In Chu Xiu's memory, this Gao Bei's ability is mediocre, he came to the Chu family when he was a teenager, and he has always been a miscellaneous person, although he will not be able to sneak around and shoot horses, but his performance is conscientious, and it took almost ten years to be taught some superficial martial arts, and he reached the realm of quenching his body, and he has practiced with the caravan a few times, but he is also unknown in the Chu family.

A year ago, Chu Xiu was framed by his third brother and made a big mistake and was demoted to the Nanshan mining area, but after all, he is the second son of the Chu family, even if he is no longer taken seriously, at least he has to prepare some reliable subordinates, so this conscientious Gao Bei has always been thrown to Chu Xiu's side.

However, he is honest, and he has no complaints, and he has been by Chu Xiu's side for the past year, but he is no different from the Chu family.

"Childe, are you looking for me?"

Gao Bei walked in cautiously, looking at Chu Xiu, there was a hint of fear in his eyes, obviously the events of the day had brought him a great impact.

Chu Xiu looked at Gao Bei and said lightly: "Gao Bei, you have been coming to my Chu family for more than ten years, and you have been working diligently, but you are still a subordinate, and you have a monthly salary of two taels of silver every month, which is only higher than that of sweeping the floor."

The people who entered the Chu family with you were either transferred to the caravan, or became the shopkeeper of various shops, and even became the steward of the Chu family, do you feel unwilling?"

Gao Bei pursed his lips, he was not really stupid, he looked at his companions who entered the Chu family with him and walked farther than himself, because he was the stupidest, he couldn't slip around and shoot horses, and he still offended people, so he was always at the bottom, of course he felt uncomfortable.

However, Gao Bei's only advantage is that he has self-knowledge, he smiled bitterly at Chu Xiu: "Childe, my Gao Bei is stupid and stupid, the Chu family has not kicked me out for so many years, and let me change from a subordinate who sweeps the floor to a guard who serves the second son, and the villain is already content." ”

Chu Xiu looked directly into Gao Bei's eyes and said, "No, you are not satisfied. Even if it's a local dog, if you feed him lean meat for a year, he doesn't want to eat leftovers bibimbap again, dogs are like this, let alone people, people, there is never a time for contentment. ”

Chu Xiu's gaze seemed to be able to see the bottom of his heart through his eyes, which made Gao Bei take a step back, his mouth moved, but he didn't know what to say.

Retracting his gaze, Chu Xiu said slowly: "What is my status in the Chu family, you know, if you are sent to my side, then we will be both a loss and a glory." ”

Gao Bei hurriedly said: "The villain understands. ”

Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "No, you don't understand, life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky." Everything has to be grabbed by oneself and fought by oneself.

The group of subordinates who entered the Chu family with you at the beginning, some became shopkeepers, and some became stewards, but more of them died in the caravan, in the struggle between my Chu family and other families. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Xiu's tone became deep and said: "Future, wealth, these are all things to fight for, you didn't even have a chance to fight for your life before!"

Now I'll give you a chance to go to the Mourning Mountain outside Yuanbao Town, find the bandit leader there, and help me bring a word. It is done, a hundred taels of silver is yours, and you will be my confidant in the future. ”

Saying that, Chu Xiu directly put the silver ticket of one hundred taels on the table, and said lightly: "According to your monthly money in the Chu family, even if you don't eat or drink, how many taels of silver can you save a year?"

I still remember that both of your parents died, but you still have a young brother entrusted to your uncle's house, and now he should be an adult, right? ”

A hint of struggle flashed on Gao Bei's face, the Dead Mountain outside Yuanbao Town is not a good place, it is all barren mountains and no roads, but it is full of bandits, all of them are masters who kill people without saying a word, and now the second prince actually wants to find them by himself?

However, the price offered by Chu Xiu in front of him was something he couldn't refuse.

He is an honest man, but it is precisely because of honesty that he cannot see the opportunity and hope of getting ahead in this life.

Now that Chu Xiu has put an opportunity in front of him, even if there is a danger of dying, Gao Bei is not willing to give up.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and took the one hundred taels of silver ticket in his hand.

If it was Chu Xiu in the past, Gao Bei would not agree 100%, but today when he saw Chu Xiu's ruthless side, he was shocked and respectful in his heart, and he didn't dare not agree.

Chu Xiu nodded with satisfaction, he called Gao Bei over, gave him a few words in his ear, and then asked him to set off directly overnight.

Looking at the back of Gao Bei leaving, a trace of essence flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes, just let Gao Bei take the money and leave, he was not afraid that Gao Bei would leave directly.

He can afford to lose one hundred taels of silver, after all, he was also the second son of the Chu family, the steward of the Nanshan mining area, and the monthly money issued to him by the Chu family was hundreds of taels every month.

There is also the fact that he is sure that Gao Bei will not dare.

He also has a younger brother in Tongzhou Mansion, who was raised by him since he was a child, and even has a younger brother like his own son, if he dares to escape, the Chu family is not a good man and a woman, and the sentence that the family will not be harmed is simply a joke.

In the early morning of the second day, when Chu Xiu and the others set off, Yue'er didn't see Gao Bei, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Childe, where is Gao Bei?"

Chu Xiu said casually: "Gao Bei will go back to Tongzhou Mansion first, and prepare to tell the mansion the news that we are about to arrive." ”

Yue'er didn't doubt it, after all, Chu Xiu was also the second son of the Chu family, and he did have to inform the location in advance before returning to the family.

However, Yue'er sneered in her heart, whether you can return to Tongzhou Mansion smoothly this time is unknown!

The carriage walked the path of the mountain, which was indeed much closer than the main road, and could save many days.

However, bandits are abundant here, and some caravans with strong guards are just left, and when they encounter a single merchant or a weaker caravan, those bandits are usually murderous and ruthless.

Inside the carriage, perhaps knowing that things were about to begin, Yue'er had an unnatural look on her face.

At this time, Chu Xiu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and startled Yue'er.

"Yue'er, do you think we'll meet bandits?" Chu Xiu asked with a calm expression.

Yue'er barely squeezed out a smile: "Childe, don't talk about these unlucky things, besides, even if they meet bandits, they will definitely not dare to touch Childe, after all, Childe, you are a member of the Chu family." ”

At this time, Chu Xiu's face suddenly showed a hint of a smile and said, "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." What should come is always coming, and sometimes natural disasters are not terrible, but man-made disasters are terrible. ”

Before Yue'er could speak, there was a shout of killing outside, and Chu Xiu said as he got out of the car: "Look, isn't the man-made disaster coming now?"
