Chapter 18: Escape
"I didn't!"
Xu Chen trembled and looked at his father, "Father, I never lied to you. ”
Xu Zijie became more and more angry, and said loudly: "Chen'er! Until now, you still have to lie to me? Don't tell me that you only reached the second realm in the month since you returned home! I'm not a fool!"
As he spoke, Xu Zijie shook his long sleeves fiercely, Xu Chen is his son after all, he can forgive Xu Chen for everything, but he can't tolerate lying to himself.
"Father, I really only broke through this month, why don't you believe me?"
Xu Chen shook his head aggrievedly, and tears were left behind.
"Haha!"
Xu Zijie laughed, but there was endless disappointment in between, "Okay! Okay! I have a son who has a talent spanning the past and the present, and I am happy." Haha!"
I don't know how long it took, the laughter faded, Xu Zijie suddenly rolled his eyes angrily, glared at Xu Chen viciously and said: "Are you a fool for me? You can go from the early stage of the first realm to the early stage of the second realm in a month, you tell me, that is, there will be such a genius in the major sects." Or, if you tell me how you cultivate, no matter how ridiculous it is, I'm willing to believe it. ”
Xu Chen kept shaking his head, and said hoarsely: "Father! This is the truth, I didn't lie to you, and I didn't kill Uncle Wu!"
Xu Zijie couldn't listen to any words at this time, turned his head and ignored Xu Chen, and said to Elder Sun in a deep voice: "Elder Sun, you are the law enforcement elder of the Xu family, how do you say this matter should be handled?"
The so-called imperial power is not lower than the county, and in such a remote town, every big family has the right to dispose of it by itself.
To say, the law enforcement elder is really not a good errand, maybe when there will be a hot potato, after a long time, Elder Sun finally spoke.
"Head of the family, according to family law, it should ...... should be put to death!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Xu Zijie's whole body trembled, but even Elder Huang, who had not spoken next to him, felt a chill in his heart.
However, before Elder Sun could finish speaking, he cleared his throat and said, "But, family master, in fact, there is no conclusive evidence that Lao Wu was the victim of the eldest young master, so he can't deal with it like this." ”
Xu Zijie was obviously a little impatient, and reprimanded: "Elder Sun, as the head of the family, I am by no means a person who protects my shortcomings, you just say what to do!"
Elder Sun was taken aback, knowing that Xu Zijie was already angry, so he had to say cleanly: "Then imprison it! Wait until the day when he finds out what he really wants and is dealing with it. ”
"Okay! Let's do it! Also, Lao Wu is also conscientious in the Xu Mansion, and he wants to be buried thickly!"
After Xu Zijie finished speaking, he shook the door with his big cuffs and left, he had already been here enough.
As soon as Xu Zijie walked out of the hut, Elder Sun suddenly remembered something and said loudly: "Family Master, please stay, what if you can't find out the truth?"
I didn't know that Xu Zijie didn't reply, and said loudly: "Then it will be locked up forever, and I will raise him for the rest of my life!"
Seeing Xu Zijie walking farther and farther, Elder Sun looked at Xu Chen awkwardly and didn't say a word.
At this time, Elder Huang next to him hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, Old Sun, since this is already the case, if it's okay, I'll leave first!"
Before Elder Sun could say anything, Elder Huang also rushed out of the door, who wanted to participate in this scorching matter.
At this time, Xu Chen came to the side of Lao Wu's corpse, squatted down, looked at the miserable white face carefully, and couldn't help but swear in his heart: "Uncle Wu, don't worry, I must find out your murderer, I will not let him go, I will break his body into pieces." ”
Elder Sun looked at Xu Chen's sad face, he didn't know what to say, he didn't dare to believe that Xu Chen would kill Lao Wu at this time, but all the evidence pointed to Xu Chen, this is no way! After all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who can say for sure?
After a long time, Elder Sun had to remind Xu Chen, "Young Master, are you ......?"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Xu Chen suddenly stretch out his right hand behind his back, Elder Sun was startled, thinking that Xu Chen was going to draw his sword to resist law enforcement, so he also put his hand on the hilt of the sword behind his back. He had seen Xu Chen's strength on the high platform.
Unexpectedly, Xu Chen just silently untied the steel sword behind his back, stood up, came to Elder Sun, and handed the steel sword to Elder Sun.
Only then did Elder Sun let out a sigh of relief, slowly took his right hand off the hilt of the sword, and comforted him while receiving the sword with both hands: "Young Master, in fact, you don't need to ...... Ahh
Before Elder Sun could finish speaking, he saw a sword flash in his eyes, and a steel sword was already on his neck, and he had already received the steel sword in his hand, but only the scabbard was left at this time.
"What are you going to do?"
Elder Sun said in a trembling voice, and the trace of fear in his heart struck again.
Just now, the moment Elder Sun took the sword, Xu Chen suddenly pulled out the steel sword from the side, using the first form in "Splitting the Void Sword Duel", the sword drawing style.
Elder Sun knew that Xu Chen would not kill him, but his fear was difficult to retreat, because the speed of Xu Chen's sword just now was twice as fast as when he was tested, so it is not an exaggeration to say that with the speed of this sword alone, Elder Sun was willing to bow down.
If it was a normal battle, Elder Sun would naturally be able to barely dodge or resist, but he was completely unprepared just now, and with his hands still holding the scabbard, he was actually exploited by Xu Chen.
Xu Chen's face was calm, and he said lightly to Elder Sun: "Elder Sun, I'm sorry, as long as you don't resist, I won't kill you!"
A chill was coming towards Elder Sun's throat, but he still stubbornly said, "Young Master, don't blame me for underestimating you, if I make a move now, you will still be lying here!"
Xu Chen nodded, knowing that what Elder Sun said was right, under normal circumstances, it would be easy for the early stage of the third realm to deal with an early stage of the second realm.
However, Xu Chen's face suddenly turned cold, and he said confidently: "Elder Sun, I think you have seen how fast I can draw my sword, if you are confident that you will still be alive after killing me, then you can make a move!"
Elder Sun blinked, he didn't make a sound, he really didn't have this confidence yet, he knew that with Xu Chen's speed of sword, the best result after he shot would be to kill both.
After pondering for a moment, he said softly, "Young Master, why are you so troubled?"
"Why bother?"
Xu Chen felt inexplicably amused, "Elder Sun, haven't you seen my suffering, I was imprisoned in the Bai family for ten years, and after I came back, I was cut off a finger, and now, if I don't resist, I'm afraid I will spend the rest of my life in captivity." You say, "Why am I suffering?"
Elder Sun let out a long sigh and said, "Young Master, you should believe that we will find out about the matter!"
"You guys?"
Xu Chen's expression was slightly disdainful, and he raised his left hand slightly, "See? You said! Have you found out about this matter? You still don't know what's going on? You say, Can I count on you?"
Elder Sun blinked, just wanted to persuade a few more words, who would have thought, Xu Chen's right hand was slightly forced, and the steel sword pulled out a shallow hole in Elder Sun's neck, and blood slowly seeped out.
"Okay! I won't say it!"
Elder Sun was still scared in the end, Xu Chen was too emotional, and he would definitely take his own life if he was not careful, "What do you want to do?"
Xu Chen held the steel sword in his hand and walked around Elder Sun's back, "I will find out this matter myself, and I will come back when the time comes." Now come with me! You're a hostage!"
Elder Sun sighed helplessly, but did he have any other choice at this time?
At this time, several swordsmen outside felt that something was wrong, and they also came to the hut, and they were all surprised to see the scene in front of them.
They didn't know how Xu Chen subdued Elder Sun, and some people actually admired Xu Chen from the bottom of their hearts.
"Get out of the way!"
Xu Chen shouted, "If I don't do it, you know what I will do!"
Several sword masters discussed for a while, and finally retreated, they understood that even if Xu Chen did not have a hostage in his hands at this time, they could not harm this young master of the Xu family, not to mention that he still had a hostage in his hand at this time.
Xu Chen looked back at the word "dust" beside Lao Wu, and slowly walked out of the hut with Elder Sun and walked towards the gate of Xu's mansion. Several swordsmen stood in place with interest, and did not catch up.
The test in the backyard square of the Xu Mansion seemed to be continuing, and most of the people went to see the excitement, and they only met a few servants in the mansion along the way, but before they could get closer, they avoided from a distance.
It wasn't until I walked to the gate that I saw two swordsmen guarding the door.
Seeing this, the two swordsmen drew their swords in parts.
"Young Master, you should let me go this time!"
Elder Sun spoke.
Xu Chen didn't pay attention to it, but looked at the two swordsmen guarding the door, and said loudly: "You keep walking inside, don't turn back!"
The two swordsmen didn't say anything, although they knew that the person in front of them was the eldest young master of the Xu family, but their duty was that they couldn't leave.
It was a stalemate for a long time.
Just when Xu Chen was about to get angry, one of the swordsmen threw the long sword in his hand aside, and also motioned for the other to throw away the long sword in his hand.
"We can't listen to you, but you can go, we won't stop you!"
Xu Chen nodded and walked out of the Xu Mansion with Elder Sun. However, Xu Chen couldn't keep swaggering through the market with Elder Sun like this, he leaned on Elder Sun's ear and whispered, "I'm sorry!"
As soon as Xu Chen finished speaking, he raised his right foot and kicked Elder Sun's leg fiercely.
Elder Sun suddenly felt a burst of pain and unconsciously knelt down, although he was indignant in his heart, he didn't know what to do.
I don't know when, he only felt that the coolness on his neck was quietly gone, so he turned his head tentatively, and Xu Chen had long since disappeared.
He let out a long sigh, slowly stood up, and limped into the door, muttering as he walked, "This stinky boy! ”
At this time, dozens of people also came from afar at the same time, led by Xu Zijie, who had just gotten the news that Xu Chen had kidnapped Elder Sun.
Xu Zijie saw Elder Sun walk into the mansion gate, and came to Elder Sun's side in a few steps, and said angrily, "Elder Sun!
Elder Sun waved his hand: "Family master, he ran away, don't chase it, he can't catch up." ”
