The Li family is one of the three major families in Tongzhou Mansion, with a big family and a big business, and several groups of caravans will come in and out every year, bringing a large number of warriors to guard against bandits.

This time, they dared to take such a remote path as Yuanbao Town, also because they brought a large number of people, and they were not afraid of those bandits who were mostly rabble.

Although Li Jing is a member of the Li family, he was appreciated by the third son of the Li family and was transferred to the caravan.

At this time, in another inn in Yuanbao Town, Li Jing walked to the door of an upper room, listening to the sound of frolicking from inside, he knocked on the door, and a lazy voice came: "Come in." ”

Pushing open the door, a man in his thirties in a brocade robe was holding a woman with heavy makeup and a kitsch look in the upper room, laughing, some wine and food were placed on the table, and two other caravan stewards were also accompanying him, and there was also a woman of average appearance beside him.

The person in front of him is the leader of the Li family's caravan, Li Tong, who is greedy and lustful, has average ability and average strength, just look at his current style, in a small place like Yuanbao Town, he must have all the wine to enjoy, and he can also taste this kind of dusty woman.

This kind of person can also become the leader of the caravan, all because of Li Tong's background.

He is a side branch of the Li family, although he is greedy and lustful, and his ability is average, but at least he can still do things, which is better than those wastes who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures.

Equipped him with two capable stewards who were in charge of the caravan, there have been no problems over the years, so Li Tong's status in the Li family has become higher and higher.

Looking at Li Tong, Li Jing's eyes vaguely showed a touch of unwillingness and disdain.

Even if he is capable, he will become the steward of the Li family in the future, but in the final analysis, he will still be a servant, and he will go to assist and serve this kind of waste.

But although he thought so in his heart, Li Jing still squeezed out a smile and arched his hand: "I've seen the Seventh Master." ”

Because Li Tong ranked seventh in his generation, the subordinates of the Li family called him the seventh master.

Seeing Li Jing, Li Tong smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's Li Jing, come on, sit down and eat, and I'll let the shopkeeper call a girl up."

Don't dislike it, it's good to have a girl in a small place, and when you go back to Tongzhou Mansion to receive your reward, I invite you to go to Drunken Flower Building to have a dashing show. ”

Although Li Tong's ability is average, he is not stupid, and he knows that he can't manage this caravan on his own, so he has always been very good to the two stewards of the caravan, so that the two of them are grateful to him.

Usually, if something happens in the caravan, the two stewards sing white faces, and he sings red faces, so in the caravan, it is he Li Tong's prestige is the highest.

Although this Li Jing is only a small leader now, he is appreciated by the third prince, although he is the cousin of the third prince in terms of seniority, but in fact, he is no different from those in charge in front of the third prince, so his attitude towards Li Jing is also good.

Li Jing's face showed a hint of grievance and said: "Seventh Master, I was robbed in the town just now, I showed the name of the Li family, and the other party didn't even take my Li family in his eyes." ”

"Oh, what's the matter, someone dares to rob someone from my Li family?" Li Tong suddenly frowned.

After Li Jing explained the matter to Li Tong, Li Tong suddenly snorted coldly and said: "Don't worry, this matter is not over, even if it is a subordinate of my Li family, it is not something that those small families can afford to provoke!"

As he spoke, Li Tong instructed a caravan's subordinate to inquire about who the other party was, Yuanbao Town was so big, this kind of thing could be easily inquired about.

"Thank you Seventh Master for calling the shots for the villain!" Li Jing hurriedly thanked.

Looking at Li Jing's grateful appearance, Li Tong nodded with satisfaction, this kind of means of buying people's hearts without wasting anything is what he is best at.

After half an hour, the man came back and whispered, "Seventh Master, the other party is from the Chu family." ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Tong's complexion suddenly changed, and he changed to an old-fashioned and solemn tone and said to Li Jing: "Li Jing, the other party is from the Chu family, so it will be a little troublesome."

Among the three major families in Tongzhou Mansion, the Shen family is a well-deserved first, and Shen Mo, the head of the Shen family, is the younger brother of Shen Bai, the eldest disciple of the Canglan Sword Sect of the Wei County faction.

With this relationship, even if Shen Mo took over as the head of the family when he first arrived, and killed seven elders of the Shen family in a row in order to establish his authority, no one dared to say anything.

Although the Chu family only moved to Tongzhou Mansion more than 20 years ago, the strength of the old thing of Chu Zongguang, the head of the Chu family, is not simple.

He has crossed the body quenching and blood coagulation, and has reached the innate realm where the qi, blood, muscles and bones in the body are integrated, without impurities, like a newborn baby, and people in their fifties look as if they are in their early forties.

When the old master of my Li family was there, he could compete with the old thing of Chu Zongguang, but now that the old master has returned, although the eldest son, the second son and the third son are all dragons and phoenixes among people, they supported the Li family after the death of the old master, and they are known as the three tigers of the Li family by the outside world, but there is still a certain gap with the Chu family, so forget about it. ”

A hint of unwillingness flashed in Li Jing's eyes, but he could only nod obediently.

At this time, Li Tong subconsciously asked: "Who is the person from the Chu family's side? I don't seem to have heard that there are caravans in and out of the Chu family recently? And the caravans of the Chu family will never go to Yuanbao Town." ”

The subordinate said: "It's Chu Xiu, the second son of the Chu family." ”

Li Tong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he laughed and said, "It turned out to be that waste, Li Jing, don't worry, I will call the shots for you in this matter!"

Li Jing was surprised: "Isn't that the second son of the Chu family, isn't he a steward, can we offend?"

Li Tong sneered and said: "If it is the Chu family's steward, I really don't dare to provoke it, the Chu family has some real power in his hands, but this Chu Xiu, I am really not afraid of him!"

Don't look at him as the second son of the Chu family, but he is a concubine, and within the Chu family, his grandmother doesn't love his uncle, he has no real power in his hands, and he is even more timid and cowardly, even the steward of the Chu family will not put him in his eyes.

I heard that he did something stupid a year ago, so he was relegated to the Chu family's Nanshan mining area to eat ashes, such a waste, even if we offended him, he didn't dare to tell Chu Zongguang, for fear that Chu Zongguang would punish him more severely. ”

Saying that, Li Tong waved his hand directly, and he was about to go to Chu Xiu for trouble.

Li Jing followed behind everyone, I don't know why, but he was a little uneasy in his heart.

Li Tong said that the second son of the Chu family has a cowardly personality and is a waste at all, but the one who grabbed the secret box with him before is domineering and has a gloomy face, are these two really the same person?

In the inn, Chu Xiu played with a short knife and hid it in his sleeve, constantly visualizing the scene of simulating the green dragon in his sleeve in his mind, and the knife was like a green dragon going out to sea.

The green dragon in his sleeve was not too complicated martial art, but Chu Xiu could feel that it was not so easy to cultivate it to the extreme, and the limit of this martial art might be deeper than Chu Xiu imagined.

At this moment, Chu Xiu suddenly heard a commotion coming from below the inn, as if someone was still shouting his name.

Chu Xiu walked down and saw that his guards were confronting a group of people, and the maid Yue'er was shrinking in the corner and didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing Chu Xiu walking down, Li Tong sneered and said: "Chu Xiu, you are so majestic, you even dare to rob my Li family's things, tell you, even if my Li family is a subordinate, it is not so easy to bully!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of those subordinates of the Li family who followed Li Tong showed a look of excitement, obviously Li Tong's matter of going to the second son of the Chu family to trouble them for the sake of a subordinate made them very moved.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, a hint of smugness flashed in Li Tong's eyes, but he still said righteously: "Chu Xiu, hand over the secret box you robbed Li Jing of, and apologize again, this matter will be over, after all, the Li family and the Chu family are both one of the three major families in Tongzhou Mansion, and I don't want to hurt the harmony, otherwise, you know the consequences!"

Chu Xiu glanced up at this Li Tong, there was really such a person in his memory, but Chu Xiu was not welcomed within the Chu family before, let alone other families.

Whether it is the Li family or the Shen family, they all treat him as waste, anyway, the future heir of the Chu family will definitely not be him, and it is not worth paying attention to.

It's just that the only thing Chu Xiu doesn't understand is what kind of situation has he reached before, and the other party, a side branch of the Li family, dares to be so arrogant to himself?

Looking at Li Tong, Chu Xiu's eyes showed a hint of uncertainty and said, "Then what if I don't pay it?"

Li Tong sneered, and those subordinates of the Li family all surrounded him, looking menacing.

Although there are more than a dozen people around Chu Xiu, with his status in the Chu family, there are only five or six of these dozen people who have really reached the quenching realm, and the rest are all subordinates who are really waiting for Chu Xiu's life.

And because the Li family is a caravan, the subordinates who are qualified to join the Li family's caravan are all martial arts who have practiced martial arts, and they are all martial artists in the body quenching realm.

At this time, a subordinate beside Li Tong stood up and pointed at Chu Xiu and shouted: "The Seventh Master asked you to hand over something and apologize to give you face! Otherwise, with your little person, you won't even want to leave this Yuanbao Town today!"

The person who stood up was Li Tong's confidant, so when would he not show his loyalty at this time?

Besides, the Seventh Master said that this Chu Xiu does not have the slightest real power in the Chu family, and he is not even as good as a steward, so there is nothing to be afraid of at all.

Chu Xiu's face didn't have the slightest expression, he just said lightly: "Let me not get out of Yuanbao Town?" ”

A faint laugh that seemed to be mocking came, and the Li family member just wanted to say something, but at this time, his eyes were already filled with a touch of knife light!

Incomparably fast, like thunder slashing through the sky, when he reacted, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, a short knife had been inserted into his chest, as Chu Xiu gently twisted the hilt, blood foam continued to gush, he wanted to say something, but his eyes widened, and gradually lost his life!

None of the people present saw how Chu Xiu came out with the knife, and no one noticed where Chu Xiu hid the knife.

It wasn't until Yue'er in the back let out a piercing scream that everyone reacted, this Chu Xiu actually killed someone?

Li Tong pointed at Chu Xiu with a look of horror: "You...... How dare you ......"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Xiu pulled the short knife out of the subordinate's chest and slashed directly at him!

This scene was something that everyone didn't expect, Chu Xiu just killed a subordinate of the Li family, and now he still wants to kill Li Tong? You must know that Li Tong is the steward of the Li family, and he is also the collateral bloodline of the Li family!

None of the people present expected that Chu Xiu would make a move on Li Tong, and no one reacted.

Li Tong himself wanted to block it, but he just wanted to coerce Chu Xiu this time, and he didn't take a weapon at all, besides, he was used to being pampered, and he hadn't experienced a few actual battles at all, even if he had a weapon, he couldn't stop it.

Only Li Jing beside him gritted his teeth, reacted the fastest, took out the dagger he was carrying and threw it at Chu Xiu, wanting to block the knife, but the dagger was directly cut by Chu Xiu, and the traces of the blade did not change in the slightest, and it accurately fell on Li Tong's neck.

Feeling the cold blade on his neck that was still stained with blood, and then thinking of the abruptness and ruthlessness when Chu Xiu killed people before, Li Tong's legs couldn't help but tremble.

Looking at Li Tong, Chu Xiu said in a flat tone: "Just because you want to come to me for trouble?

Even if I, Chu Xiu, am no longer treated in the Chu family, I am also the second son of the Chu family, and Chu Zongguang is also my father, but what are you?

Where did you get the confidence to dare to come to the trouble? Do you believe it or not, even if I kill you on the spot, the final result will only be that I will be punished and confined and kneeling in the ancestral hall?"

Li Tong was suddenly trembling, just now he just thought of Chu Xiu's cowardice and bullying before, but he ignored the essence of the identities of the two sides.

He was just a side line, Chu Xiu did cause a big disaster by killing him, but what could that do? After all, he was the son of Chu Zongguang, the head of the Chu family, could the Li family still let Chu Xiu die for a side disciple like him?

It wasn't until now that Li Tong realized what a stupid thing he had done.

Chu Xiu removed the short knife from Li Tong's neck, handed him the handle of the knife, and said lightly: "Take the knife." ”

Li Tong was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Chu Xiu meant.

I said, take the knife. ”

Feeling Chu Xiu's cold eyes, Li Tong took the short knife tremblingly.

Chu Xiu held the blade of the knife, pointed it to his chest, and looked at Li Tong with a straight gaze: "Didn't you just want to trouble me? Now that the knife is in your hand, I'll give you a chance to kill me." ”

Li Tong hurriedly shook his head, what are you kidding? Chu Xiu didn't have to fight for his life if he killed him, but if he killed Chu Xiu, not only did he have to fight for his life, but even his wife and children!

Chu Xiu took a step forward, the blade of the knife was close to his chest, and Chu Xiu's voice was extremely gloomy: "I said, let you kill me!"

With a 'clang', the short knife fell to the ground, and Li Tong's hand trembled, and he couldn't even hold the knife anymore.

Chu Xiu's face showed a hint of mockery, and he slapped Li Tong's face and sneered: "Waste! You won't be able to use it if you give you a chance, you don't dare to kill people with a knife, who gave you the courage to come to me for trouble?"

In the face of Chu Xiu's insulting actions and mocking tone, Li Tong's face flushed with shame, but he didn't even dare to say a word.

Chu Xiu pointed to the door of the inn and said lightly: "Now get out of here, take that idiot's body away, clean it up, don't make trouble for the innkeeper." ”

After finishing speaking, Chu Xiu turned around and went upstairs directly, and the subordinates of the Chu family below and Yue'er all had a sluggish look on their faces, is this still the same Chu Xiu as before?

However, they were all frightened today, and they didn't dare to think about it, so they immediately followed Chu Xiu upstairs.

At this time, in the lobby of the inn, Li Jing walked to Li Tong's side and said cautiously: "Seventh Master......"

However, before he finished his words, he was directly kicked to the ground by Li Tong.

Li Tongsheng blushed and said angrily: "Fuck your mother! It's because of this idiot idiot that so many things have been provoked, you wait, even if the third son protects you, Lao Tzu will make you look good when he returns to the Li family!"

Everyone present looked at Li Jing on the ground with a dull face expressionlessly, it was because of him that Li Tong had lost such a big face today, and he would probably have a hard time in the Li family from now on.
