Chu Xiu's caravan was going to the Yan Kingdom, but in reality, they were only going to a small border town, Qingyuan Town.
Because the Wei County was a small country that bordered the Yan Kingdom, Qingyuan Town was only a buffer zone between the two countries. It was only when the Yan Kingdom destroyed the Wei Kingdom that Qingyuan Town was established as a place for trade between the Yan Kingdom and the Wei County.
Some of the Yan Kingdom's specialties could be bought here, and Chu Xiu's caravan could also directly sell their goods to the Yan Kingdom's merchants.
This time, Chu Xiu's caravan traveled very smoothly. It only took ten days for them to make a round trip.
And this time, many people changed their opinion of Chu Xiu. This Second Young Master wasn't as useless as before. Especially the people from the caravan, they were very respectful towards Chu Xiu.
At this time, in a training room in the Chu Clan's backyard, a white-haired old housekeeper was reporting to Chu Zongguang about Chu Xiu.
This old housekeeper was surnamed Chen. Although he was also a housekeeper of the Chu Clan, he was very low-key. Normally, he was only responsible for serving Chu Zongguang. Although he didn't have any real power, he was the oldest person in the Chu Clan.
Don't look at how Chu Zongguang was in seclusion every day, as if he didn't care about the clan's affairs. But through Housekeeper Chen, the Chu Clan's matters couldn't be hidden from him.
After listening, Chu Zongguang's eyes revealed a trace of astonishment. But soon after, he coldly snorted and said, "This brat is too risky. If he does this, what if the bandits on the other side aren't moved by force or persuasion and would rather kill him without the goods? Also, if the bandits aren't strong enough to escort them out of the Shang Mang Mountain, wouldn't his silver be wasted? "
Housekeeper Chen said with a smile, "But Second Young Master's luck is pretty good. The bandits that robbed him only recently arrived at the Shang Mang Mountain. Their strength is pretty good. I heard that because of Second Young Master's matter, they have already established some rules in the Shang Mang Mountain. In any case, having rules is better than having no rules at all. In the future, our Wei County's people will be able to enter and leave the Shang Mang Mountain much more easily. "
After saying this, Housekeeper Chen said hesitantly, "Patriarch, this old servant has something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."
Chu Zongguang said lightly, "Old Chen, you've been with me for decades. What else can't you say?"
Housekeeper Chen said in a low voice, "Patriarch, actually, our Chu Family is already very strong.
Although the Eldest Young Master was a little reckless, his martial arts talent was not bad. With careful guidance, there was hope for him to become an Innate in the future.
Although the second young master had been disappointing in the past, he had become quite good after the training in the Nanshan Mining Area. Although his personality was a little radical and bold, he was still quite capable.
Although the Third Young Master's mind was a little gloomy, he was still very cautious in his actions.
Although the Fourth Young Master was young, he was precocious. If he was carefully nurtured, he would definitely become a great person in the future.
Patriarch, if you can give up on studying that thing and properly teach the four young masters, stop them from continuing to fight amongst themselves, our Chu family might be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Shen family in the future. "
Hearing this, Chu Zongguang's face suddenly became gloomy, "Old Chen, what nonsense are you talking about? You've been with me for so many years. You should know how much I've paid for it. I didn't even hesitate to leave my hometown to come to Tongzhou Prefecture! What is a Shen family? Once I understand how to use it, let alone a mere Tongzhou Prefecture, I, Chu Zongguang, won't even put the entire Wei Prefecture in my eyes! "
Housekeeper Chen shook his head lightly and sighed silently.
He was an old man of the Chu family. When Chu Zongguang was young, he could definitely be considered a young talent. In the end, when he went out to adventure in his early years and brought back that thing, Chu Zongguang seemed to have gone crazy. He brought the family to Tongzhou Prefecture and didn't care about anything else. He only cared about studying that thing.
If Chu Zongguang had focused on developing the Chu family, the scale of the Chu family would definitely be much stronger than it was now.
Glancing at Housekeeper Chen, Chu Zongguang said in a low voice, "Old Chen, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I know what to do.
I haven't even died yet, but my sons are already eyeing the position of patriarch. Only Little Four can be a bit more honest.
In the past, they always fought in the dark. Since they like to fight now, I'll let them fight openly. As long as they don't cause trouble for me, it's fine.
Alright, Old Chen, go out and help me keep an eye on them. Don't let them cause trouble. "
Chu Zongguang was stubborn. Housekeeper Chen could only shake his head and leave with a sigh.
At this time, Chu Xiu didn't know what his cheap father Chu Zongguang was thinking. He had been living quite well recently.
He followed the caravan once and didn't care anymore. In any case, the trade route was already open. He just had to wait to collect the money.
The profits of the caravan were usually divided into three parts. One part was stored with the caravan to buy materials for the next trip, one part was given to the family, and one part was kept by himself.
Chu Xiu was in charge of the caravan. Without hesitation, he transferred a part of the profits that should have been given to the family to himself.
The Chu family was the Chu family, and Chu Xiu was Chu Xiu. For him, the entire Chu family, or even the entire Tongzhou Prefecture, was just a springboard for him to enter the jianghu. Of course, Chu Xiu had to think about his own interests first.
While the caravan was traveling, Chu Xiu had been practicing his saber and cultivating his internal strength in his courtyard. Even Gao Bei couldn't bear to watch his desperate actions.
Chu Xiu wasn't a masochist. He just didn't know what was ahead of him. There was a sense of urgency that forced him to improve his strength as soon as possible.
In the original plot, it was mentioned that the previous owner of this body had left the Tongzhou Prefecture after experiencing a family incident. He stepped into the jianghu and experienced many hardships, causing his temperament to change greatly.
As for what this family incident was and when it would happen, Chu Xiu had no idea.
Therefore, he could only find a way to use the Chu family's resources to cultivate as soon as possible, and then directly leave the Chu family.
According to Chu Xiu's estimation, as long as his talent wasn't so bad that it would make people angry, after Chu Xiu became the heir of the Chu family and got a lot of resources, with the Xiantian Skill as a foundation, he should be able to step into the Xiantian realm very soon.
Of course, rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should also be taken one step at a time. At present, what Chu Xiu had to consider was not the Xiantian realm, but the Blood Condensation Realm.
The Body Tempering Realm was relatively simple. It was to temper the muscles and bones of the body. Because he had the Xiantian Skill as a foundation, plus the Qi Replenishing Powder that Chu Xiu had asked for from the pharmacy and some medicinal pills that he had bought separately during this period, these things added up had greatly increased Chu Xiu's strength within a month.
If the current Chu Xiu were to fight with the bandit that tried to kill him, Chu Xiu wouldn't even need to dodge. With just his strength, he would be able to chop his opponent in half.
The truly difficult part was the Blood Condensation Realm. Right now, Chu Xiu already felt that he had reached the peak of the Body Tempering Realm. But even after eating several Blood Condensation Pills, he still felt that there was no obvious change in his blood. It was clear that he still needed to temper himself for a period of time.
Chu Xiu's life was pretty good, but some people's lives weren't so good. For example, the Chu family's third brother, Chu Sheng.
Originally, the only person in the Chu family who had the qualifications to be his opponent was his eldest brother, Chu Xiu. But now, Chu Xiu had suddenly risen to prominence and had enough prestige within the Chu family. Moreover, he was also in charge of a caravan. He could travel three or four times a month, and each time he would bring back a huge profit, causing Chu Sheng's eyes to turn red.
The main thing was that these profits had fallen into Chu Xiu's hands, which made Chu Sheng feel an enormous threat.
After pacing around the house several times, Chu Sheng frowned and said, "Mother, we can't continue like this. This Chu Xiu's reputation in the family has already been completely reversed. Moreover, the profits of the caravan have directly doubled in his hands. If this continues, I will definitely lose in a year! The caravan cannot continue to stay in Chu Xiu's hands! "
The second madam frowned and said, "You want this caravan? It won't be that easy. Master will not give this caravan to you. "
Chu Sheng's eyes revealed a trace of coldness. He said, "Father won't give it to me, but what if fourth brother wants it? Will he give it to fourth brother? "
When the Chu family's The Fourth Prince, Chu Shang, was mentioned, Chu Sheng's eyes also revealed a trace of jealousy.
The Chu family's four sons, the eldest Chu Xiu, had been doted on a lot when he was young. Later on, Chu Zongguang had been in seclusion all year round and had neglected him, not to mention Chu Xiu and Chu Sheng.
Only the youngest, Chu Shang, was said to be very similar to Chu Zongguang when he was young. Therefore, even now, he was still doted on by Chu Zongguang. This was something that the other three couldn't compare to.
The second madam's eyes revealed a trace of light. She said, "This is not impossible. I will go and try."
