Meet The Leader

The Li family is one of the three major families in Tongzhou Prefecture. The family has 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 a remote path like Yuanbao Town because they brought a lot of people and were not afraid of the bandits who were mostly rabble.

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 a manager, he was considered 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 playfulness coming from inside, he knocked on the door, and a lazy voice came: "Come in."

Pushing the door open, a man in his thirties wearing a brocade robe was holding a woman with heavy makeup and a kitsch face, laughing. There were some wine and vegetables on the table, as well as two other caravans. The steward was also there to accompany him, and there was also a woman of ordinary beauty beside him.

The person in front of him is the leader of the Li family caravan, Li Tong, who is lustful, with average ability and average strength. You can see from his current style. In a small place like Yuanbao Town, you need to prepare wine and lust. Enjoy, he is also able to say something about such a beautiful 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, he can at least do things.

He was given two capable stewards to be in charge of the caravan, and there has been no problem 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 showed a hint of unwillingness and disdain.

This kind of thing can become the leader of the caravan. No matter how capable he is, he will become the steward of the Li family in the future. In the final analysis, he is still a servant, and he has to assist and serve this kind of waste.

But even though he thought so in his heart, Li Jing squeezed out a smile and cupped his hands: "I have seen the seventh master."

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

Seeing Li Jing, Li Tong smiled and waved his hand: "It's Li Jing, come here, sit down and have a drink, I'll ask the shopkeeper to call a girl up.

Don't dislike it, it's good to have girls in small places. When you get back to Tongzhou Mansion to receive the reward, I invite you to go to the Zuihualou for a little fun. "

Although Li Tong's ability is average, he is not stupid. He knows that he can't manage the caravan well by himself, so he has always been very good to the two managers of the caravan, so they are grateful to him.

Usually, when something goes wrong in the caravan, the two stewards sing the blame.

Although this Li Jing is only 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 Li Jing's attitude is also good.

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

"Oh? What's going on? Someone dared to rob my Li family?" Li Tong frowned suddenly.

After Li Jing explained the matter to Li Tong, Li Tong suddenly snorted coldly: "Don't worry, this matter is not over, even if it is a servant of my Li family, not those A small family can afford it!"

Having said that, Li Tong instructed a servant of the caravan to find out who the other party was. Yuanbao Town is so big, and it is easy to find out such things.

"Many thanks to Seventh Master for being the master of the villain!" Li Jing quickly thanked.

Seeing Li Jing's expression of gratitude, Li Tong nodded with satisfaction. This kind of means of buying people's hearts without giving up anything is what he is best at.

After half an hour, the servant came back and said in a low voice, "Seventh Master, the other party is from the Chu family."

Hearing this, Li Tong's expression changed suddenly, and he put on a mature and prudent tone and said to Li Jing: "Li Jing, the other party is from the Chu family, so it would be a little troublesome.

Of the three major families in Tongzhou Prefecture, the Shen family is the worthy number one, and the head of the Shen family, Shen Mo, is the younger brother of Shen Bai, the eldest disciple of the Canglan Sword Sect of Wei County's great faction.

With such an important relationship, even if Shen Mo took over as the head of the family when he was 30 years old, and killed seven elders of the Shen family for Li Wei, no one would dare to say anything.

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

He has already passed through the quenching and coagulation, and has reached the innate realm where qi, blood, bones and bones are harmoniously integrated, free of impurities, like a newborn baby. People in their fifties look like they are in their early forties.

When the old master of the Li family was there, he could compete with the old man Chu Zongguang, but now the old master has returned. He supported the Li family and was called the three tigers of the Li family by the outside world, but there was still a certain gap with the Chu family. Let's just forget about it. "

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

At this time, Li Tong asked subconsciously: "Who is the person from the Chu family? I don't seem to have heard that the Chu family has a caravan entering and leaving recently? And the Chu family's caravan never goes to Yuanbao Town. of."

The servant said, "It's Chu Xiu, the second son of the Chu family."

Li Tong was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he laughed loudly and said, "It turns out to be that waste, Li Jing, don't worry, I'll let you decide on this matter!"

Li Jing said in surprise: "That's not the second son of the Chu family, but he's not a manager. How can we offend him?"

Li Tong sneered: "If the Chu family is in charge, I really don't dare to provoke them. Even the Chu family has some real power in their hands, but this is Chu Xiu, I'm really not afraid. he!

Don't look at him as the second son of the Chu family, but he is a concubine. In the Chu family, his grandmother doesn't care about his uncle or love. Will not put him in their eyes.

I heard that he did something stupid a year ago, so he was banished to the Nanshan mining area of ​​the Chu family to eat ashes. Such waste, even if we offended him, he would not dare to tell Chu Zongguang. Chu Zongguang punished him more severely. "

Saying that, Li Tong waved his hand directly, and he was about to find Chu Xiu's trouble with him.

Li Jing followed behind the crowd. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Li Tong said that the second son of the Chu family was cowardly and was basically a waste, but the one who robbed him of the secret box 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. He kept imagining in his mind the scene of simulating a blue dragon in his sleeve, and the knife was like a blue dragon going out to sea.

The Qinglong in the sleeve is not too complicated a 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 loud noise from below the inn, as if someone was calling his name.

Chu Xiu went down and saw that his guards were facing off against a group of people, while the maid Yue'er huddled in the corner and didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing Chu Xiu walking down, Li Tong sneered: "Chu Xiu, you are so powerful, you even dare to rob my Li family, tell you, my Li family is even a servant, but It's not that easy to bully!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Li family servants who followed Li Tong showed a look of excitement. Obviously, Li Tong's trouble of going to the second son of the Chu family for a servant moved them. very.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Li Tong's eyes flashed a hint of pride, but he still said righteously: "Chu Xiu, hand over the secret box you robbed of Li Jing, 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, and I don’t want to hurt the peace, otherwise, you will know the consequences!”

Chu Xiu raised his head and glanced at Li Tong. There really was such a person in his memory, but the former Chu Xiu was not welcome 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 it is not worth paying attention to.

It's just that the only thing Chu Xiu didn't understand was how useless he was before, how dare a side branch of the Li family dare to be so arrogant to him?

Looking at Li Tong, Chu Xiu's eyes showed a hint of confusion: "Then what if I don't pay?"

Li Tong sneered, and the servants of the Li family all gathered around, looking menacing.

Although there are more than a dozen people around Chu Xiu, but with his status in the Chu family, only five or six of these dozen people have truly reached the 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 qualified to join the Li family caravan are all trained in martial arts, and they are all warriors in the quenching state.

At this time, a servant next to Li Tong stood up and pointed at Chu Xiu and shouted: "The seventh master asked you to apologize to you to give you face! Otherwise, just because of you, don't even think about leaving this ingot town today! "

The person who stood up was Li Tong's confidant, so what if he didn't show his loyalty at this time?

Besides, the seventh master has said that this Chu Xiu has no real power in the Chu family, and is not even as good as a manager. There is nothing to fear at all.

There was no expression on Chu Xiu's face, he just said lightly: "I can't get out of Yuanbao Town? Haha."

A seemingly mocking smile came, the servant of the Li family just wanted to say something, but at this moment, his eyes were filled with a wisp of knife light!

It was incomparably fast, like a thunder streak across the sky. When he reacted, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. A short knife had been inserted into his chest, and Chu Xiu gently twisted the handle of the knife. , the blood foam kept gushing out, he wanted to say something, but just widened his eyes and gradually lost his life!

None of the people present saw how Chu Xiu made 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 realized that Chu Xiu actually killed someone? You stabbed someone to death without saying a word?

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

Before he could finish his words, Chu Xiu pulled the short knife out of the servant's chest and slashed directly at him!

This scene was unexpected. Chu Xiu just 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 also a collateral bloodline of the Li family!

None of the people present thought that Chu Xiu would attack Li Tong, and no one responded.

Li Tong himself wanted to block, but this time he just wanted to intimidate Chu Xiu, and he didn't take any weapons at all. Besides, he was used to being pampered and had never experienced a few actual battles. Even if he had weapons, he couldn't stop him.

Only Li Jing, who was 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 directly chopped by Chu Xiu, leaving traces of the blade's edge. Without the slightest change, it fell exactly on Li Tong's neck.

Feeling the ice-cold blade that was still stained with blood on his neck, and thinking of the suddenness and ferocity of Chu Xiu's murder before, Li Tong's legs couldn't help shaking.

Looking at Li Tong, Chu Xiu said in a flat tone, "You want to come to trouble me just because you are a jerk? You just don't know what to say!

Even if I, Chu Xiu, are no longer welcome in the Chu family, I am also the second son of the Chu family, and Chu Zongguang is also my biological father, but what are you? It's just a sideline, and its status is not much higher than that of a steward.

Where did you get the confidence and dare to ask for trouble? Believe it or not, even if I kill you on the spot, the final result will only be that I will be sentenced to confinement and kneel in an ancestral hall? "

Li Tong shivered suddenly, just now he just thought of Chu Xiu's cowardice and bullying, but he ignored the nature of the identities of both parties.

He was just a sideline. Chu Xiu really caused a big disaster by killing him, 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 such a collateral disciple?

It was only 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, facing 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'll give you a chance to kill me."

Li Tong hurriedly shook his head, what was UU reading www.uukanshu.com kidding? Chu Xiu didn't have to die for killing him, but he killed not only his life, but also his wife, children, and children!

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

With a 'bang', the short knife fell to the ground, Li Tong's hands were trembling, and he couldn't even hold the knife.

There was a hint of sarcasm on Chu Xiu's face, slapped Li Tong's face and sneered: "Waste! It's useless to give you a chance, you dare not kill with a knife, who gave you the courage to come? Trouble me?"

Facing Chu Xiu's humiliating action, this sarcastic tone, Li Tong blushed in shame, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Chu Xiu pointed to the door of the inn, and said lightly, "Get out of here now, take that idiot's body away, clean it up, and don't make trouble for the inn's shopkeeper."

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 the same Chu Xiu from before?

But they were all frightened today, and they didn't dare to think about it, and 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 could finish his words, he was kicked to the ground by Li Tong.

Li Tong blushed and said angrily: "Fuck you! It's because of this idiot that this idiot has caused so many things, you wait, even if the third son protects you, I will make you look good when I return to the Li family! "

Everyone present looked blankly at Li Jing, who had a sluggish face on the ground. It was because of him that Li Tong had lost such a big face today. From now on, his life in the Li family may not be easy.
