The Li family indeed didn't dare to do anything now. They were scared that the Chu family would choose to annihilate them at this time. Even the burial of Li Zhao and Li Zhong was very low key.
After waiting for more than ten days, the Chu family didn't do anything. They finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the hall, Li Yun and Li Cheng sat in the middle with a gloomy expression. The atmosphere was so oppressive that it could drip water.
Li Zhao was dead, Li Zhong was also dead. The Chu family acted as though nothing had happened and didn't want to do anything to them. However, the Li family couldn't take this lying down.
At this moment, a young man of eighteen or nineteen suddenly walked in from outside the hall. He walked in and carefully cupped his hands towards Li Cheng and Li Yun, "Big Brother, Second Brother."
Li Yun frowned. "What are you doing here?"
Li Cheng glared at Li Yun and forced a smile. "Ze, what do you want?"
The young man lowered his head. "Big brother, second brother, third brother has passed, but the Li family isn't without people. I want to come out and do something too. I want to lead the Li family's caravan to Yan again."
Li Yun sneered. Li Cheng said gently, "Ze, you're still young. It's enough for us to support the Li family. Your mission now is to cultivate. Only by raising your cultivation level can you come and help us. Go back and cultivate well. Don't worry, the Li family won't collapse. "
Li Ze opened his mouth and was about to say that Li Zhao had been leading a caravan since he was eighteen or nineteen, but he swallowed the words back down. He cupped his hands and said, "Then Big Brother, Second Brother, I'll be going now."
When Li Ze left, Li Yun sneered in disdain. "What is he! Does he think that just because third brother is dead, he can replace third brother? The three tigers of the Li family, even if third brother isn't here, there's no place for him! "
When the younger generation of the Li family was mentioned, Li Zhao and the others would be called the three tigers of the Li family. In reality, the leader of the Li family had four sons like Chu Zongguang.
However, Li Zhao and the others came from the same mother. The youngest Li Ze was born from a concubine, so he was naturally ostracized by the three.
Li Cheng glared at Li Yun. "Don't talk nonsense, Ze is our fourth brother no matter what."
Li Yun sneered, "I don't recognize him as my Fourth Brother. Look, Third Brother has only been dead for a short period of time, and he already jumped out to claim power. Does he really think he's a piece of cake? Big brother, I'm just afraid that you'll treat him as a brother but he won't. "
Li Cheng waved his hand. "Let's not talk about this for now. What you think about third brother and uncle brother?"
Hearing Li Cheng's words, Li Yun's face immediately revealed a sinister expression, "Of course I will!"
Li Cheng said in a low voice, "But if we want to take revenge, we can't directly take revenge on the Chu Clan. With my Li Clan's current strength, taking revenge on the Chu Clan is no different than a mantis trying to stop a chariot."
Li Yun frowned and said, "If we don't touch the Chu clan, how are we going to touch Chu Xiu? Chu Zongguang can't just watch his son be killed. Big brother, just tell me what plan you have. I'll do it. "
Among the three brothers of the Li family, the eldest, Li Cheng, was the calmest. Li Yun, on the other hand, had a fiery temper. But because of this, the younger Li Yun was stronger than Li Cheng. Most of the time, the Li family was managed by Li Cheng and Li Yun.
Li Cheng said with a gloomy expression, "It's not just our Li family who wants Chu Xiu dead. There are even more people in the Chu family who want him dead. How did Third Brother incur enmity with Chu Xiu? It's all because of the Chu family's internal strife!
Now, we need to find Chu Xiu for revenge. Ding Kaishan's daughter, the second madam of the Chu family, will be very interested.
Right now, Chu Xiu isn't staying in the Chu clan's mansion. As long as the Chu clan's second madam can help us stall the messenger at the crucial moment and prevent the Chu clan from knowing that we've made a move against Chu Xiu, with the two of us and the entire Li clan, how could we not be able to kill Chu Xiu? "
Li Yun's eyes lit up. Li Cheng's words were reasonable. As long as the second madam of the Chu family was willing to cooperate, how could the Li family not be able to deal with Chu Xiu?
One had to know that Chu Xiu only had a few dozen subordinates. If the Li family were to find all the Body Tempering Realm experts, they would have a few hundred people!
Li Cheng said to Li Yun, "Go find Ding Kaishan now and have him send a message to the Chu clan's second madam. Ask her if she's willing to help our Li clan. I'm sure she has a ninety percent chance of agreeing. I want to go to the Chen family to see the housekeeper, Shen Rong. "
Li Yun frowned, "Why do you want to go to the Chen family?"
Li Cheng sighed, "Even without Chu Zongguang's interference, we can smoothly kill Chu Xiu. But no matter what, Chu Xiu is Chu Zongguang's biological son. Even if it is for the sake of face, Chu Zongguang will not let Chu Xiu die in vain. So our Li family will definitely suffer the revenge of the Chu family. Right now, in the Tong State capital, the only one who can protect us is the Chen family. "
After a long silence, Li Yun said, "What price do we need to pay?"
Li Cheng clenched his teeth, "Half of the Li family's business!"
"What!?"
Li Yun stood up, "Big brother, are you crazy?"
Li Cheng closed his eyes, "Our Li family has already reached this point. If we don't act ruthlessly, I'm afraid Shen Rong will not agree. Moreover, Shen Rong is a greedy person. Instead of bargaining with him, it is better to feed him in one go.
Housekeeper Shen's strength and ability are ordinary, but he used to serve Shen Bai and Shen Mo. His position in the Shen family is very high, and he has the ability to protect the Li family.
Moreover, after giving away half of the family's business, the Li family has lost the qualification to be on equal footing with the Shen family. It is a good time to completely rely on the Shen family and become their vassal. This way, we can continue to survive in the Tong State capital.
Don't feel wronged. Even if a 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 at its peak, they could be on equal footing with the Shen family. But now, they had to be a vassal of the Shen family. This kind of feeling was not good.
Li Cheng said, "Okay, this matter is settled for the time being. Go and prepare now, in case something unexpected happens."
Li Yun nodded, and the two of them left together. However, neither of them noticed that in a dark corner of the Li Clan's residence, Li Ze was staring at the two of them with a sinister look in his eyes.
At the same time, in the Chu family's restaurant, Chu Xiu chose a private room close to the window. He ordered a few dishes with Ma Kuo, and they chatted while drinking.
Normally, Chu Xiu would not be so free, but he had just come out of seclusion. In the past ten days, he had not even seen the sun. Now was the time to relax.
At this time, the owner of the restaurant personally brought a roasted chicken to Chu Xiu's table. He smiled and said, "Second Young Master, this is a golden pheasant from the barren mountains of Liaodong in the north. It grows up on pine nuts and snow water. Its meat is delicious, and because it is so fast, even some experienced hunters find it difficult to hunt it. Therefore, it is called the flying dragon. As the saying goes, dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground. The dragon meat refers to the flying dragon meat. Coincidentally, a caravan from the Yan Kingdom brought a few days ago. I specially prepared this for you, Second Young Master. "
Ma Kuo's eyes lit up. He tore off a leg and chewed on it. As he chewed, he muttered, "Yes, this is the taste! Ever since I left the north, I haven't had this in a long time. "
The owner of the restaurant glared at Ma Kuo. He had never seen such an unruly servant. The Second Young Master hadn't even started eating yet, and Ma Kuo had already started eating.
Chu Xiu waved his hand casually and said, "Alright, you can leave now. I appreciate your kindness."
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, the shopkeeper revealed a trace of joy and left.
Chu Xiu tore off a piece of the chicken and tasted it. It was indeed delicious.
However, just when he was about to share the flying dragon meat with Ma Kuo, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open. A young man about seventeen or eighteen years old walked in with a smile on his face. "Young Master Chu Xiu, you still have the mood to eat and drink here? Do you know that you are going to be in big trouble soon? "
Hearing this young man's words, Ma Kuo chewed on the chicken leg with a faint smile on his face. Chu Xiu patted the Goose Feather Sword on the table and said calmly, "If you're powerful, you're just being mysterious. If you're not powerful, you're just courting death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a murderous look in Chu Xiu's eyes. The young man in front of him, who had never seen blood before, was so scared that he couldn't help but take a step back.
There was a hint of anger in his eyes, but he didn't try to be mysterious anymore. He closed the door and sat next to Chu Xiu. He cupped his hands and said to Chu Xiu, "I'm Li Ze from the Li family."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "A collateral descendant of the Li family?"
There was a hint of anger in Li Ze's eyes. "A direct descendant! I'm the fourth son of the Li family! "
Chu Xiu patted his head. He just remembered that there was such a person in the Li family.
However, Li Ze's presence was too low. People always talked about the three tigers of the Li family. As they talked, they naturally ignored Li Ze.
Chu Xiu nodded casually and said, "I remember now. Tell me, what are you going to do today?"
Li Ze looked at Chu Xiu and said in a deep voice, "I'm here to tell you something, Young Master Chu Xiu. My eldest and second brothers are going to set up a trap to kill you!"
