Chapter 27: Betrayal
For Chu Xiu, Li Jing is of course hateful.
If he hadn't snatched his secret box in the first place, how could there have been so many things later?
But after the hatred, Li Jing had a hint of fear from the bottom of his heart.
Tongzhou Mansion is so big, he can't hide anything big or small, and he already knows what Chu Xiu has done during this time.
What the second son of the Chu family, who was originally regarded as a waste, was very surprising during this time, and was even commented by the outside world as the only young disciple of the four young generations of the Chu family who could be compared to the three tigers of the Li family.
Anyway, Chu Xiu's status is not comparable to him, and the last incident also made him clearly realize a reality, that is, the subordinate is always the subordinate, even if he relies on Li Sangongzi behind him, but as long as he falls out of favor, his status is not even as good as the lowest status subordinate of the Li family.
Chu Xiu looked at Li Jing's nervous and frightened appearance, his person closed the door, pointed to the chair on the table and said lightly, "Sit." ”
Seeing Li Jing sit down slowly, Chu Xiu didn't urge, he just chewed peanuts there, and took a sip of rice wine in the cup from time to time, until the atmosphere was depressed to the extreme, and then he said lightly: "Do you hate me very much now?"
Li Jing lowered his head and didn't speak, Chu Xiu didn't care about him, and said in a deep voice: "You should hate me, I can also see that you are not a person who is willing to live an ordinary life, but I heard that since that incident, you have had a very bad life." ”
Li Jing smiled bitterly and said: "This is not due to you Chu Xiu Gongzi? Right now, Chu Xiu Gongzi is an outstanding disciple of the younger generation of the Chu family, I am just a descendant of the Li family who has lost power, even if Chu Xiu Gongzi wants to kill me now, it is estimated that the Li family will not stand up for me." ”
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said: "I can see it very clearly, the most important thing for people is to recognize their own position, but unfortunately many people can't recognize this, you used to be too, but now you have grown a little better than before." ”
Li Jing looked at Chu Xiu suspiciously, he originally thought that Chu Xiu wanted to take revenge on him, but now that he looks, it is not like that.
And think about it carefully, if Chu Xiu really wanted to take revenge on himself, he wouldn't be able to survive when he was in Yuanbao Town, so what did he do with himself today?
Li Jing was puzzled, and Chu Xiu, who was on the other side, directly threw out a booklet and said lightly: "The Chu family's secret martial arts are very powerful, and the internal strength of the level is a little lower, but the effect on refining the muscles, bones, qi and blood is good, at least it can make you get started on the martial arts." ”
As he spoke, Chu Xiu threw out another packet of medicinal powder and a bottle of pill and said, "Ten copies of Qi Replenishment Powder, you should have heard of the name, but your monthly money in the Li family can only afford one in a year."
In the bottle are three blood coagulation pills, you can also know what it means when you hear the name, with your identity, this is a good thing that money can't buy. ”
Looking at the three things on the table, Li Jing's eyes widened, and there was a look of longing in his eyes.
For ordinary martial artists, these things are very ordinary, but for people like Li Jing who have just learned some ordinary fist and foot kung fu and have just stepped into the realm of quenching the body, these things are an opportunity, an opportunity for him to truly become a martial artist!
Chu Xiu pushed these three things to Li Jing's side, and said in a deep voice: "I want Li Zhao's route when he travels next time, as well as the strength of his team, the more meticulous the better, I must tell me the day before he leaves." ”
Li Jing suddenly shuddered when he heard this, he suddenly remembered something, the third prince seemed to have a conflict with this Chu Xiu yesterday, although he didn't know the details, but the two sides seemed to have moved.
Thinking of Chu Xiu's actions now, what exactly he wants to do, it seems that it is not difficult to guess.
The corners of Li Jing's mouth moved, and he said with difficulty: "But ......"
"No, but!"
Chu Xiu directly and rudely interrupted Li Jing's words, and pushed the Yanling knife in his hand forward, juxtaposing it with the Gongfa Pill.
"There is only one chance, and the power to choose is only once!"
Li Jing gritted his teeth, and without saying a word, he directly took the exercise and pill in his arms in a panic, and staggered away from the inn.
Ma Kuo walked out of the room next to him, grabbed a handful of peanuts from Chu Xiu's plate and stuffed them into his mouth, and asked while chewing, "Young Master Chu, how do you know that this guy will definitely do it? What if he leaks the matter to the Li family?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "People's ambition is very terrifying, don't look at this Li Jing as a subordinate, but he is definitely not the kind of master who is willing to stoop to others, he has no loyalty to the Li family, what I gave him is exactly a reason for him to leave the Li family, or betray the Li family." ”
Ma Kuo shook his head puzzled: "People's hearts are really complicated, I was just an ordinary cattle herder in Beidi Dai County, and my biggest wish in this life is to be able to eat beef."
If it weren't for a group of bastard soldiers who killed my cattle and forced Lao Tzu to have no way to live, how could Lao Tzu go up the mountain and fall into the grass to become a bandit?
But it's not bad, now the beef Lao Tzu can eat it if he wants, and he is tired of eating it. ”
Chu Xiu pushed the rest of the peanuts to Ma Kuo, walked out with a knife, and said lightly: "It's all the same truth, there are actually only two pursuits in this life, eating meat, and eating better meat." ”
Ma Kuo touched his head, feeling that Chu Xiu was talking a little nervously, but at this time Chu Xiu suddenly said: "By the way, since you said that you are tired of eating beef, then I will tell the shopkeeper of the restaurant that you don't need to send you sauce beef every day." ”
Ma Kuo's face suddenly fell, and he hurriedly said: "Young Master Chu Xiu, I'm joking, don't take it seriously! If you don't eat meat, where do you get the strength to kill the people of the Li family?"
..............................
After nightfall, in the Li family's mansion, Li Zhao proudly said to his eldest brother and second brother: "I'll just say that this matter is not a big deal, the Chu family's gang of people are used to fighting among themselves, and their own people are there to drag their own people's hind legs, and they will not take care of us." ”
Li Yun, the second eldest member of the Li family, suddenly said: "By the way, third brother, I heard that you fought with that Chu Xiu?
Li Zhao's face was gloomy, and he nodded and said: "It's defeated, that Chu Xiu is a bit evil, and his strength should be at the peak of the Quenching Realm, but his strength is terrifyingly high."
And his knife technique is also very evil, fierce and ruthless, he didn't give me a chance to fight back at all, and I feel that he hasn't used all his strength yet, anyway, this Chu Xiu has to pay attention to it, the Chu family has a lot of waste, I didn't expect this most wasteful one to go to the Nanshan mining area and turn over. ”
Li Cheng thought for a while and said, "When you leave for Yan Kingdom tomorrow, let Uncle Zhong go with you." ”
The Li family was much stronger than the Chu family when it was at its strongest, and there were six disciples who had already reached the blood condensation realm alone.
It's a pity that the old head of the Li family died later, and those doormen ran away a lot, and there was only one loyal uncle left.
This is still because this loyal uncle was besieged by bandits and was seriously injured, but it was the head of the Li family who saved him, so he thanked the Li family for saving his life, became the Li family's big housekeeper, and changed his name to Li Zhong, and never gave up at the most difficult moment for the Li family.
Li Zhao was surprised: "No need, now there are rules in the mountain, as long as you pay the toll, you can go over, and you can use Uncle Zhong to run with me?"
Li Chengdao: "Listen to me, just to be safe." ”
Hearing his eldest brother say this, Li Zhao didn't continue to argue, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and let people prepare and set tomorrow's route." ”
After Li Zhao arranged the specific affairs of the merchant with the people of the caravan, Li Jing, who was shrunk at the back of the crowd, showed a gloomy look in his eyes.
"Third son, don't blame me, if you were willing to stand up for me, I wouldn't have come this far!
..............................
In Chu Xiu's courtyard, Gao Bei took the information sent by Li Jing secretly, and said with a sad face: "Childe, or let's forget it this time, the strength of the Li family is too strong, there are hundreds of merchants this time, all of them are the elite of the Li family's caravan, and among them, there is also Li Zhong, the big butler of the Li family, who is a martial artist of the Blood Condensation Realm." ”
Ma Kuo took the information and looked at it, and sneered: "Don't you kid be so cowardly, can't you? Learn more from your son-in-law, as long as you learn from your son-in-law, it will be enough for you to eat for a lifetime." ”
Laughing at Gao Bei, Ma Kuo turned his gaze to Chu Xiu and said: "Young Master Chu, I will solve the caravan of the Li family for you, although there are only dozens of brothers under me, almost all of them have seen blood, and they will not fall behind in the fight against the regular army of the Northern Yan Imperial Court on the side of Beiyan, and there is no problem in solving the hundreds of people in the caravan of the Li family."
Now it's up to you, although the Li family's big butler is in the blood coagulation realm, the gap between quenching and blood coagulation is not that big, so can a housekeeper of the Li family be stronger than the old man in Kaishan Martial Arts Pavilion Ding Kaishan?"
Chu Xiu's eyes showed a hint of coldness, in fact, even if it was Ding Kaishan, he had the confidence to fight with him, of course, the chance of winning was very small, the green dragon in his sleeve only had one knife, and after a knife, he couldn't hurt him, and Chu Xiu probably didn't have a chance.
In the past few months of cultivating martial arts, Chu Xiu also has some insights.
Martial arts is originally a killing technique, how can you make progress without relying on fighting? Like his cheap daddy Chu Zongguang, he has been in retreat for more than ten years and has not come up with a trick.
Knocking on the scabbard on the table, Chu Xiu said coldly: "The plan is as usual, go out of the city in the early morning and rob and kill the Li family's caravan!"
