Chapter 27 Betrayal

Li Jing certainly hated Chu Xiu.

If he hadn't snatched his secret box at the beginning, how could so many things have happened later?

But after the hatred, Li Jing felt a trace of fear from the bottom of his heart.

Tongzhou Mansion is only so big that it is impossible to hide any major incidents or minor incidents. He already knew what Chu Xiu had done during this period of time.

What the second son of the Chu family, who was originally regarded as a waste, has been doing during this period is very surprising. It was even commented by the outside world that he was the only young disciple among the four young members of the Chu family who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the three tigers of the Li family.

In any case, Chu Xiu's status is not comparable to him, and what happened last time made him clearly realize the reality, that is, servants are always servants, even if he has Mr. Li San behind him, as long as he Once he fell out of favor, his status was not even as good as that of the lowest-ranked servant of the Li family.

Chu Xiu looked at Li Jing's nervous and fearful appearance, and he asked someone to close the door, pointed to the chair on the table and said calmly, "Sit."

Seeing Li Jing sit down slowly, Chu Xiu didn't urge him, he just chewed the peanuts and sipped the rice wine in the glass from time to time, until the atmosphere was suppressed to the extreme, he said lightly: "You are now Do you hate me very much?"

Li Jing lowered his head and did not speak, Chu Xiu ignored him, and said in a deep voice: "You should hate me, and I can see that you are not a person who is willing to live an ordinary life, but I heard that since that incident Things, you're having a bad time."

Li Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't this thanks to you, Mr. Chuxiu? Right now, Mr. Chuxiu is an outstanding disciple of the younger generation of the Chu family. I am just a servant of the Li family who has lost power. Even if you want to kill Mr. Chuxiu now I guess the Li family won't stand up for me."

Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said: "It is very clear that the most important thing for a person is to recognize one's own position. Unfortunately, many people can't recognize this. You used to be the same, but now you are 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 looked at it, it was not the case.

And think about it carefully, if Chu Xiu really wanted to take revenge on himself, he would not be able to survive in Yuanbao Town, so why did he bring him here today?

Li Jing was wondering when Chu Xiu, who was on the opposite side, directly threw out a booklet and said indifferently: "The Chu family's secret exercises are very strong, and the internal strength of the first turn level, although the level is a little lower, but it is good for tempering the muscles, bones, qi and blood. The effect is good, at least it can let you get started in martial arts."

As he said that, Chu Xiu threw out another pack of medicinal powder and a bottle of elixir and said, "Ten copies of Buqisan, you should have heard of the name, but your monthly money in the Li family can afford it in a year." Only one copy.

There are three Congealing Blood Pills in the bottle. You can tell what it means by the name. As you are, this is a good thing that even money can't buy. "

Looking at the three items on the table, Li Jing's eyes widened, and there was a hint of longing in his eyes.

For ordinary warriors, these things are very common, but for servants like Li Jing who have only learned some ordinary boxing skills and have just stepped into the body quenching state, these things are an opportunity for him to truly become a warrior. Opportunity!

Chu Xiu pushed these three things to Li Jing's side, and said in a deep voice: "I want Li Zhao's next business route and his ability to lead the team. The more detailed the better, it must be the day before he leaves. tell me."

Li Jing trembled when he heard the words, he suddenly remembered something, the third young master seemed to have had a conflict with Chu Xiu yesterday, although he didn't know the details, but the two sides seemed to have fought.

Thinking of Chu Xiu's actions now, it seems not difficult to guess what he wants to do.

The corner of Li Jing's mouth twitched, and he said with difficulty: "But..."

"No but!"

Chu Xiu directly interrupted Li Jing's words roughly, and pushed the Yanling Saber in his hand forward, and put it side by side with the kung fu elixir.

"There is only one chance, and the right to choose is only once!"

Li Jing gritted his teeth, without saying a word, he put the exercises and the elixir in his arms in a panic, and staggered out of the inn.

Ma Kuo came out from the next room, grabbed a handful of peanuts from Chu Xiu's plate and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing and asking, "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 terrible. Don't think that Li Jing is a servant, but he is definitely not the kind of master who is willing to submit to others. He has no loyalty to the Li family. What was given to him was a reason for him to leave the Li family, or betray the Li family."

Ma Kuo shook his head puzzled: "People's hearts are so complicated, I was just an ordinary cowherd boy in Beididai County, and my biggest wish in this life is to be able to eat beef.

If it wasn't for a group of bastards who killed my cattle and forced me to die, how could I go to the mountains and fall into the grass to become a bandit?

But it's not bad, now I eat beef whenever I want, and I'm tired of eating it. "

Chu Xiu pushed the remaining peanuts to Ma Kuo, walked out with a knife, and said calmly: "It's all the same reason, there are actually only two pursuits in a person's life, eating meat and eating better meat. "

Ma Kuo touched his head and felt that Chu Xiu was talking a little bit, but at this moment Chu Xiu suddenly said: "By the way, since you said you are tired of eating beef, then I will tell the shopkeeper of the restaurant that I don't need to give you beef every day." Send beef sauce."

Ma Kuo's complexion suddenly collapsed, and he said hastily: "Young Master Chuxiu, I'm joking, don't take it seriously! If you don't eat meat, how can you have the strength to kill people from the Li family?"

………………………

After nightfall, inside the Li family's mansion, Li Zhao proudly said to his elder brother and second elder brother: "I just said that this matter is not a big deal. The Chu family has become used to fighting among themselves. We will not take care of us if we are behind our own people."

Li Yun, the second son of the Li family, suddenly said: "By the way, third brother, I heard that you fought against Chu Xiu? You still lost?"

Li Zhao's face became gloomy, and he nodded, "It's a defeat, then Chu Xiu is a bit of a villain, and his strength should be at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, but his strength is surprisingly high.

And his saber technique is also very evil, fierce and fierce, and he never gave me a chance to fight back, and I feel that he hasn't used his full strength. Anyway, Chu Xiu needs to pay attention to it. There are a lot of waste in the Chu family. Thinking that the most useless one went to the Nanshan mining area and turned over. "

Li Cheng thought for a while and said, "When we 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 in the past, and there were six disciples who had reached the blood coagulation level alone.

It's a pity that the old head of the Li family died later, and many of the retainers ran away, leaving only one loyal uncle.

This is because Uncle Zhong was besieged by bandits and was seriously injured. It was the head of the Li family who saved him, so he was grateful for the life-saving grace of the Li family and became the chief steward of the Li family. He also changed his name to Li Zhong. The most embarrassing moment for the family is also to never leave.

Li Zhao was surprised and said: "No need, now Shangmang Mountain has established rules, as long as you pay the toll, you can go there, why don't you use Uncle Zhong to come with me?"

Li Chengdao: "Listen to me, just to be on the safe side."

Hearing what his elder brother said, Li Zhao didn't continue to argue. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get someone to prepare and set the route for tomorrow."

After Li Zhao arranged the specific affairs of the merchants with the people in the caravan, Li Jing, who was at the back of the crowd, showed a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Third Young Master, don't blame me, if you were willing to stand up for me back then, I wouldn't have come to this point!

………………………

In Chuxiu's courtyard, Gao Bei took the information secretly sent by Li Jing, and said with a sad face: "My lord, let's forget it this time, the strength of the Li family is too strong, and there are a hundred people in the business this time." , are all the elites of the Li family caravan, and among them is Li Zhong, the chief steward of the Li family, who is a warrior at the blood coagulation level."

Ma Kuo took the information over and glanced at it, and said with a sneer, "Don't be so cowardly, can you? Learn more from your son, as long as you learn 10% from your son, it will be enough for you to eat for a lifetime."

After laughing at Gao Bei, Ma Kuo turned his gaze to Chu Xiu and said, "Young Master Chu, I will take care of the Li family's caravan. Although there are only a few dozen brothers under me, almost all of them have seen blood. In Beiyan's fight against the regular army of the Beiyan court, there is no problem at all, and it is no problem to deal with the hundreds of people in the Li family's caravan.

Now it's up to you. Although the head butler of the Li family is at the blood coagulation level, the gap between body quenching and blood coagulation is not that big. So why can a housekeeper of the Li family be better than Ding Kaishan in the Kaishan Martial Art Museum? Is the old man still strong? "

There was a trace of coldness in Chu Xiu's eyes. In fact, even Ding Kaishan had the confidence to fight against him. Of course, the chance of winning was very small. He only had one knife in his sleeve, and he couldn't hurt him after one knife. Chu Xiu probably There is no chance.

In the past few months of practicing martial arts, Chu Xiu also had some insights.

Martial arts is originally a killing skill, how can one improve without fighting? Like his cheap father, Chu Zongguang, he has been in seclusion for more than ten years and has not found 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!"
