Chapter 3 Even if I Give You a Chance, You Are Useless!
The Li family is one of the three major families in Tongzhou Prefecture. It has a big family and a big business. Every year, several groups of caravans come in and out, bringing a large number of warriors to guard against bandits.
This time they dared to take the remote path like Yuanbao Town because they had a lot of people with them, and they were not afraid of the bandits, most of whom were mobs.
Although Li Jing was a servant of the Li family, he was appreciated by the third son of the Li family, and was transferred to the caravan. Although he was not in charge, he could be regarded as a small leader.
At this time, in another inn in Yuanbao Town, Li Jing walked to the door of an upper room. Hearing the sound of frolicking inside, he knocked on the door, and a lazy voice came: "Come in."
Pushing open the door, a man in his thirties, wearing a brocade robe, was teasing and laughing with a woman with heavy makeup and a kitsch face. There were some wine and vegetables on the table, and two other caravans The steward was also on the sidelines, and each had a woman of average beauty beside her.
The person in front of him is the leader of the Li family's caravan, Li Tong, who is greedy and lustful, with average ability and average strength. You can tell from his current behavior. In a small place like Yuanbao Town, he must have all the wine and sex. Enjoyment, this kind of beautiful woman of the world, he can also take it easy.
This kind of person can also become the leader of the caravan, it all depends on Li Tong's background.
He is a collateral branch of the Li family. Although he is lustful and has mediocre abilities, at least he can do things. He is better than those wastes who are not successful enough and have more than enough failures.
He was paired with two capable stewards who were in charge of the caravan. He hadn't had any problems for so many years, so Li Tong's status in the Li family was getting higher and higher.
Looking at Li Tong, Li Jing's eyes faintly revealed a look of unwillingness and disdain.
Even if this kind of thing can become the leader of a caravan, no matter how capable he is, he will become the steward of the Li family in the future. In the final analysis, he will still be a servant, helping and serving this kind of trash.
But even though he thought so in his heart, Li Jing still squeezed out a smiling face and cupped his hands: "I've seen Master Qi."
Because Li Tong was ranked seventh in his generation, all the servants of the Li family called him Seventh Master.
Seeing Li Jing, Li Tong smiled and waved his hands and said: "It's Li Jing, come here, sit down and have a drink, and I'll ask the shopkeeper to call a girl to come up.
Don't be disgusted, it would be great if there are girls in a small place. When I get back to Tongzhou Mansion to receive the reward, I invite you to go to Zuihualou to have a fun. "
Although Li Tong's abilities are mediocre, he is not stupid. He knows that he can't manage the caravan well by himself, so he has always been good to the two stewards of the caravan, and let them be grateful to him.
Usually, when something happened in the caravan, the two stewards would sing bad faces, and he would sing bad faces, so Li Tong had the highest prestige in the caravan.
Although this Li Jing is just a small leader now, he is appreciated by the third son. Although he is the third son's cousin according to his seniority, in fact, in front of the third son, he is no different from those in charge, so he treats him very well. Li Jing's attitude is also good.
A trace of grievance appeared on Li Jing's face and he said: "Qi Ye, I was robbed in the town just now, and I showed off the name of the Li family, but the other party still doesn't take my Li family seriously."
"Oh? What's going on? Someone dares to rob my Li family?" Li Tong frowned suddenly.
After Li Jing explained the matter to Li Tong, Li Tong snorted coldly and said: "Don't worry, this matter is not over, even if it is a servant of my Li family, it is not those who A small family can afford it!"
As he said that, Li Tong ordered a servant of the caravan to find out who the other party was. Yuanbao Town is so big that it is easy to find out such things.
"Thank you Qiye for making decisions for the villain!" Li Jing quickly thanked him.
Seeing Li Jing's grateful expression, Li Tong nodded in satisfaction. This kind of method of buying people's hearts without doing anything is what he is best at.
After half an hour, the servant came back and whispered: "Master Qi, the other party is from the Chu family."
Hearing this, Li Tong's complexion changed immediately, and he changed into a mature 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.
Of the three major families in Tongzhou Mansion, the Shen family deserves to be the number one. The head of the Shen family, Shen Mo, is the younger brother of Shen Bai, the chief disciple of the Canglan Sword Sect of the Wei County Great School, "Raining Rain Sword".
With such a heavy relationship, even if Shen Mo took over as the head of the family just in his thirties, no one would dare to say anything if he killed seven elders of the Shen family in a row for the sake of standing up.
Although the Chu family moved to Tongzhou Prefecture more than 20 years ago, the old man Chu Zongguang, the head of the Chu family, is not simple.
He has gone through body quenching and blood coagulation, and has reached the innate state where the qi, blood, muscles and bones in the body are integrated without impurities, just like a newborn baby. People in their fifties look like they are in their early forties.
When the old patriarch of my Li family was around, he could compete with that old thing Chu Zongguang, but now the old patriarch has gone back. Supported the Li family, known as the Li family's three tigers by the outside world, but there is still a certain gap with the Chu family, so let's forget about it. "
A trace 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? I don't seem to have heard that there are caravans coming in and out of the Chu family recently? And the caravans of the Chu family never go to Yuanbao Town." of."
That name said humanely: "It's Chu Xiu, the second son of the Chu family."
Li Tong was taken aback when he heard this, and then he laughed loudly and said, "So it's that trash, Li Jing, don't worry, I'll make the decision for you!"
Li Jing was surprised and said: "Isn't that the second son of the Chu family? He's not a manager. Can we offend him?"
Li Tong sneered and said, "If the Chu family is in charge, I really don't dare to provoke them. Even if the Chu family is in charge, they still hold some real power, but this is Chu Xiu, sir. I'm really not afraid. he!
Don't look at him as the second son of the Chu family, but he is a concubine. Inside the Chu family, grandma does not love his uncle or 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 the eyes.
I heard that he did something stupid a year ago, so he was relegated to the Nanshan mining area of the Chu family to eat ashes. Even if we offended him, he would not dare to tell Chu Zongguang about such a waste, for fear Chu Zongguang punished him more severely. "
As he said that, Li Tong waved his hand directly, leading the people to find Chu Xiu's trouble.
Li Jing followed behind the crowd, but for some reason, he felt a little uneasy.
Li Tong said that the second son of the Chu family was cowardly and a waste at all, but the one who snatched the secret box from him before was domineering and had a stern look on his face. Are these two really the same person?
Inside the inn, Chu Xiu played with a short knife and hid it in his sleeve. In his mind, he kept imagining and simulating the scene of the blue dragon in his sleeve, and the scene of the knife being like a blue dragon going out to sea.
The green dragon in the sleeve is not a very complicated martial skill, but Chu Xiu can feel that it is not so easy to cultivate it to the extreme. The limit of this martial skill may be deeper than Chu Xiu imagined.
At this moment, Chu Xiu suddenly heard a noise coming from below the inn, as if someone was calling his name.
Chu Xiu walked down and saw that his guards were confronting a group of people, and the maid Yue'er was huddled in a corner, not daring to say anything.
Seeing Chu Xiu walking down, Li Tong sneered and said, "Chu Xiu, you are so majestic that you even dare to snatch things from my Li family. Let me tell you, my Li family is a servant, but It's not so easy to bully!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the servants of the Li family who followed Li Tong showed a look of excitement. Obviously, Li Tong's trouble with the second son of the Chu family for the sake of a servant moved them. very.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, a smug look flashed in Li Tong's eyes, but he still said righteously: "Chu Xiu, hand over the secret box that you robbed Li Jing of, and apologize again. The matter is over, after all, the Li family and the Chu family are one of the three major families in Tongzhou Prefecture, and I don't want to hurt my peace, otherwise, you will know the consequences!"
Chu Xiu raised his head and glanced at Li Tong. There was indeed such a person in his memory, but the former Chu Xiu was not welcomed in the Chu family, let alone other families.
Whether it is the Li family or the Shen family, they all regard him as a waste. Anyway, the future heir of the Chu family will definitely not be him, and he is not worthy of attention.
It's just that the only thing Chu Xiu doesn't understand is how useless he was before, that a branch of the Li family on the other side dares to be so arrogant to him?
Looking at Li Tong, Chu Xiu's eyes showed a trace of ignorance and said: "Then what if I don't hand it over?"
Li Tong sneered, and the servants of the Li family surrounded him with a menacing look.
Although there are more than a dozen people around Chu Xiu, but with his status in the Chu family, only five or six of them have really reached the body quenching state, and the rest are servants who really serve Chu Xiu's daily life. .
And because the Li family is a caravan, the servants who are eligible to join the Li family's caravan are all martial arts practitioners, and they are all warriors in the tempering state.
At this time, a servant next to Li Tong stood up, pointed at Chu Xiu and shouted, "Qi Ye asked you to hand in an apology to show your face! Otherwise, with your little person, you wouldn't even think about leaving this Yuanbao town today! "
The person who stood up was Li Tong's confidant, if he didn't show his loyalty now, when would he wait?
Besides, Qi Ye said that this Chu Xiu has no real power in the Chu family, and he is not even as good as a steward, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
There was no expression on Chu Xiu's face, he just said lightly: "Keep me out of Yuanbao Town? Ha ha."
A seemingly mocking smile came, and the servant of the Li family was about to say something, but at this moment, his eyes were filled with the light of a knife!
Incomparably swift, as if a thunderbolt streaked across the sky, when he reacted, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and a short knife had been inserted into his chest, and as Chu Xiu gently twisted the handle , The blood foam kept gushing out, he wanted to say something, but he just widened his eyes and gradually lost his breath!
None of the people present saw how Chu Xiu used the knife, and no one noticed where Chu Xiu hid the knife.
It wasn't until Yue'er behind him let out a piercing scream that everyone realized that Chu Xiu had killed someone? Stabbed someone to death without saying a word?
Li Tong pointed at Chu Xiu with a look of horror on his face: "You... how dare you..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Xiu pulled out the dagger from the servant's chest and slashed at him directly!
This scene was unexpected by everyone. Chu Xiu killed a servant of the Li family. Does he still want to kill Li Tong now? You must know that Li Tong is the steward of the Li family, and even a collateral blood of the Li family!
None of the people present thought that Chu Xiu would attack Li Tong, and no one reacted.
Li Tong himself wanted to block it, but this time he just wanted to intimidate Chu Xiu, and he didn't have a weapon at all. Besides, he was so pampered that he had never experienced a few actual battles at all, so he couldn't stop him even with a weapon.
Only Li Jing beside him gritted his teeth and reacted the fastest. He took out the dagger he carried with him and threw it at Chu Xiu, trying to block the knife, but the dagger was chopped into pieces by Chu Xiu directly. Without the slightest change, it precisely landed on Li Tong's neck.
Feeling the cold blade that was still stained with blood on his neck, and thinking of the sudden and fierceness of Chu Xiu's killing before, Li Tong's legs couldn't help shaking.
Looking at Li Tong, Chu Xiu said in a flat tone: "Just because you want to trouble me? You just don't know what to say!
Even if I, Chu Xiu, are no longer welcome in the Chu family, I am still the second son of the Chu family, and Chu Zongguang is also my own father, but what are you? It's just a collateral line, and its status is not much higher than that of the steward.
Where did you get the confidence to come here and ask for trouble? Do you believe it or not, even if I kill you on the spot, the end result is that I will be fined to confinement and kneel in an ancestral hall? "
Li Tong trembled suddenly. He just thought of Chu Xiu's cowardice and bullying, but he ignored the essence of the identities of both parties.
He is just a collateral line, Chu Xiu killed him indeed caused a catastrophe, but so what? After all, he is the son of Chu Zongguang, the head of the Chu family. Can the Li family let Chu Xiu die for a collateral disciple like him?
It wasn't until now that Li Tong realized what a stupid thing he had done.
Chu Xiu removed the dagger from Li Tong's neck, handed the handle to him, and said calmly, "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 supported the blade, pointed it at his chest, and looked straight at Li Tong: "Didn't you just want to trouble me? Now that the blade is in your hands, I will give you a chance to kill me."
Li Tong quickly shook his head, what joke? Chu Xiu killed him without taking his life, but when he killed Chu Xiu, not only did he have to take his life, but even his wife, children and children also had to take their lives!
Chu Xiu took a step forward, with the blade pressed against his chest, Chu Xiu's voice was extremely gloomy: "I said, let you kill me!"
With a 'bang' sound, the dagger fell to the ground, and Li Tong's hand trembled, and he couldn't even hold the knife anymore.
There was a hint of sarcasm on Chu Xiu's face, and he slapped Li Tong's face with a sneer and said, "Trash! You are useless even if you are given a chance. You dare not kill people with a knife. Who gave you the courage? Trouble me?"
Faced with Chu Xiu's insulting action and mocking tone, Li Tong blushed with shame and indignation, but he didn't even dare to say a word.
Chu Xiu pointed at the door of the inn, and said calmly: "Get out now, take that idiot's body away, clean it up, and don't make trouble for the shopkeeper of the inn."
After finishing speaking, Chu Xiu turned around and went upstairs. The servants of the Chu family and Yue'er below all had dull expressions on their faces. Is this still the same Chu Xiu from before?
But they were all frightened today, and they didn't dare to think too much, so they immediately followed Chu Xiu upstairs.
At this moment in the lobby of the inn, Li Jing walked up to Li Tong, and said cautiously, "Qiye..."
But before he finished speaking, he was kicked to the ground by Li Tong.
Li Tong blushed and said angrily: "Fuck you mother! It's because of this stupid idiot that caused so many things, you wait, even if the third son is protecting you, I will make you look good when I return to Li's house! "
All the people present looked at the dull-faced Li Jing on the ground blankly. It was because of him that Li Tong lost so much face today. From then on, his life in the Li family might not be easy.
