Chapter 31 Revenge

ps: I'm going to attend a friend's wedding today, so update it early.

The Li family really didn't dare to do anything now, they were afraid that the Chu family would choose to destroy their Li family at this time, and they even did a very low-key burial for Li Zhao and Li Zhong.

After waiting for more than ten days, there was no real action from the Chu family, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

In the lobby, Li Yun and Li Cheng sat in the center with gloomy expressions on their faces, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that water could drip out.

Li Zhao is dead, Li Zhong is also dead, the Chu family seems to have never had this incident, and they don't want to do anything to them like alms, but the Li family can't swallow this breath!

At this moment, a young man of eighteen or nineteen suddenly walked in from outside the hall. He walked in and cautiously cupped his hands to Li Cheng and Li Yun and said, "Brother, second brother."

Li Yun frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"

Li Cheng glared at Li Yun, forced a smile on his face and said, "Ah Ze, what's the matter with you?"

The young man lowered his head and said, "Big brother, second brother, and third brother have already gone, but my Li family is not empty, so I also want to come out to do something, and lead my Li family's caravan to go to Yan Country again."

Li Yun showed a sneer, while Li Cheng said warmly: "Ah Ze, you are still young, and the Li family has enough support from us. Your task now is to cultivate. You can only come if you improve your cultivation. help us.

Go back, practice hard, don't worry, the Li family will not collapse. "

Li Ze opened his mouth, and just wanted to say that Li Zhao also came out to lead the caravan when he was eighteen or nine years old, but he swallowed the words again, and just cupped his hands at the two of them and said, "Brother, Brother, I'm going down."

When Li Ze left, Li Yun sneered disdainfully and said: "What! He thought that the third brother died, so he could replace the third brother? The three tigers of the Li family, even if the third brother is gone, there is no one for him. Location!"

When mentioning the younger generation of the Li family in Tongzhou Mansion, they would say that Li Zhao and others are the three tigers of the Li family. In fact, the head of the Li family also has four sons like Chu Zongguang.

It's just that Li Zhao and the other three are compatriots from the same mother, while Li Ze, the youngest, was born to a concubine, so they were naturally rejected by the three of them.

Li Cheng glared at Li Yun and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Aze is also our fourth brother no matter what."

Li Yun sneered and said: "I don't admit that he is my fourth brother, look, how long has it been since the third brother died, and he jumped out to claim power, really thought he was a dish!

Brother, I'm afraid that in the end you will treat him as a brother, but he will not treat you as a brother. "

Li Cheng waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about that, what do you mean by the enmity between the third brother and Uncle Zhong?"

Hearing what Li Cheng said, Li Yun's face suddenly showed a ferocious expression: "Of course I have to report it!"

Li Cheng said in a deep voice: "However, if you want to take revenge, you can't directly seek revenge from the Chu family. With my Li family's current strength, seeking revenge from the Chu family is tantamount to blocking the car with your arms."

Li Yun frowned and said, "How can Chu Xiu be moved if the Chu family is not moved? It is impossible for Chu Zongguang to watch his son be killed. Brother, if you have any plan, just say it, and I will do it."

Among the three brothers of the Li family, the eldest, Li Cheng, is the most calm, while Li Yun has a hot temper. But because of this, the younger Li Yun is stronger than Li Cheng. Most of the time, the Li family is also made by Li Chenglai, and Li Yunlai executes it. .

Li Cheng said with a gloomy expression: "Our Li family is not the only one who wants to kill Chu Xiu. There are even more people in the Chu family who want to kill him. How did the third brother have a grudge with this Chu Xiu? Isn't it because of the Chu family's death?" fight!

Now we want to seek revenge on Chu Xiu. Ding Kaishan's daughter, the second wife of the Chu family, must be very interested.

Right now Chu Xiu is not living in the Chu family’s mansion, as long as the second wife of the Chu family can help us hold back the person who reported the letter at a critical moment, and prevent the Chu family from knowing that we have done something to Chu Xiu, with the two of us and the entire Li family, is it possible? Can't kill a Chuxiu? "

Li Yun's eyes lit up immediately. What Li Cheng said was reasonable. As long as the second wife of the Chu family is willing to cooperate, they can't deal with Chu Xiu with all the strength of the Li family?

You must know that there are only a few dozen people under Chu Xiu's command, and if their Li family finds out all the servants and clansmen who have reached the tempered body state, there will be hundreds of people!

Li Cheng said to Li Yun: "Go to Ding Kaishan now and ask him to send a message to the second wife of the Chu family and ask him if he would like to help my Li family with this. I'm sure that she will agree with 90% of the chance. of.

I am going to the Shen family to meet Shen Rong, the chief housekeeper of the Shen family. "

Li Yun frowned and said, "What are you doing at Shen's house?"

Li Cheng sighed: "Even without Chu Zongguang's obstruction, we can kill Chu Xiu smoothly, but Chu Xiu is also Chu Zongguang's own son, even if it is for the sake of face, Chu Zongguang would not let Chu Xiu die in vain. Therefore, my Li family will definitely be retaliated by the Chu family. Right now, in Tongzhou Prefecture, the only one who can keep us is the Shen family."

After a long silence, Li Yun said, "What price do I need to pay?"

Li Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Half of the entire Li family's property!"

"What!?"

Li Yun stood up abruptly: "Brother, are you crazy?"

Li Cheng closed his eyes and said: "My Li family has reached this point now, if we don't act harder, I'm afraid Shen Rong won't agree, and this Shen Rong himself is also a greedy person, instead of bargaining with him, it's better to do it all at once feed him.

This Shen Da steward is average in strength and even more average in ability, but he used to be an old servant who served Shen Bai and Shen Mo, and his status in the Shen family is very high. He has the ability to keep my Li family.

And after taking out half of the family property, my Li family has lost the qualification to be equal to the Shen family, so I just happened to completely join the Shen family and become its vassal, so that I can continue to survive in this Tongzhou mansion.

Don't feel wronged, even if an ordinary small family wants to be a vassal of the Shen family, the Shen family may not accept it. "

Li Yun was also silent. In the past, when the Li family was the most powerful, they could sit on an equal footing with the Shen family, but now they want to be a vassal of the Shen family. This kind of feeling is uncomfortable.

Li Chengdao: "Okay, the matter is settled like this for the time being, prepare now, and things will change later."

Li Yun nodded, and the two left together, but neither of them noticed that in the dark corner of Li's house, Li Ze looked at the backs of the two with a sinister look in his eyes.

At this time, in the restaurant of the Chu family, Chu Xiu picked a private room near the window, ordered a few dishes with Ma Kuo, and chatted while drinking.

Chu Xiu is usually not so free, but he just came out of retreat, and he didn't even see the sun for more than ten days, so he can relax now.

At this time, the shopkeeper of the restaurant personally brought a shiny red roast chicken, put it on Chu Xiu's table, and said with a smile: "Second son, this is a golden pheasant from the barren mountains of Liaodong in the north. It eats pine nuts and drinks snow. The meat grown in water is delicious. Because of its extremely fast speed, even some old hunters are not easy to hunt, so it is also called flying dragon, so-called dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground. This dragon meat refers to this flying dragon meat.

It just so happened that a caravan from Yan Kingdom brought some of them two days ago, and I specially left them for you, Second Young Master. "

The eyes of Ma Kuo on the opposite side lit up, and he directly tore off a thigh and gnawed on it. While chewing, he muttered, "That's right, that's the taste! I haven't eaten it for a long time since I left the Northland."

The shopkeeper of the restaurant glared at Ma Kuo, he had never seen such an unruly servant, the second young master hadn't put down his chopsticks yet, you should strike first.

Chu Xiu waved his hand casually and said: "Okay, go down, I accept your kindness."

Hearing what Chu Xiu said, the shopkeeper showed a gleam of joy.

Chu Xiu tore off a piece of chicken and tasted it. It tasted really good, extremely delicious.

But just when he was about to share the flying dragon meat with Ma Kuo, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and a young man aged seventeen or eight came in, with a smile on his face, he said: " Mr. Chuxiu, do you still have the mind to eat and drink here? Do you know that you are about to be in trouble!"

Hearing what the young man said, Ma Kuo showed a half-smile on his face while chewing the chicken legs, while Chu Xiu patted the Yanling knife on his table, and said lightly: "Those who are capable, Talking in a mysterious way is called high-spirited, and those who have no strength are called courting death!"

As soon as the words fell, Chu Xiu's eyes suddenly revealed a violent murderous intent, which made the young man who had never seen blood suddenly take a step back in fright.

There was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes, but he no longer pretended to be mysterious. Instead, he closed the door, sat next to Chu Xiu, cupped his hands at Chu Xiu, and said, "I'm Li Ze from the Li family."

Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "A collateral branch of the Li family?"

There was a hint of anger in Li Ze's eyes and said: "It's the direct line! I'm the fourth son of the Li family!"

Chu Xiu patted his head, and then remembered that there really was such a person in the Li family.

But this Li Ze's sense of existence is too low, outsiders always talk about the three tigers of the Li family, and they naturally ignore this Li Ze.

Chu Xiu nodded casually and said, "I remember, tell me, what are you going to do today?"

Li Ze looked at Chu Xiu, and said in a deep voice, "I just wanted to tell Mr. Chu Xiu some news, my elder brother and second elder brother are planning to kill you now!"
