In the evening, the second madam called some of the Chu clan's stewards back to the Chu clan. On the surface, she wanted to invite them to a banquet and rope them in, but secretly, she didn't want them to know that the Li clan had made a move against Chu Xiu. She didn't want them to report it.
The young masters of the Chu clan would often try to rope in the stewards under them. Putting aside inviting them to a banquet, even if they were to bribe them with money or promise them authority, these stewards wouldn't mind. However, there were a few people who found it strange that the second madam seemed to be spending a lot of money this time. She actually managed to gather so many people.
After Chu Sheng drank with the Chu clan's stewards, he rubbed his swollen head and returned to his courtyard. The second madam didn't sleep either.
"Mother, can the Li clan really get rid of Chu Xiu this time?"
The plan had already been arranged, but Chu Sheng suddenly had a feeling of uneasiness when things came to the point.
The second madam was very confident. "Don't underestimate the Li clan. They used to be stronger than our Chu clan. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Although the Li clan is weak now, it's still not something that a single Chu Xiu can stop. Just watch. Even if Chu Xiu doesn't die this time, he's pretty much dead. "
Chu Sheng nodded and rubbed his swollen head, ready to sleep. If he woke up the next morning and heard the news of Chu Xiu's death, that would be good news.
Inside the Li Clan, Li Cheng and Li Yun had already made their preparations. The truly loyal servants of the Li Clan and some of the branch family members with decent martial arts were already standing in the courtyard with their weapons in hand. They were ready to attack as soon as Li Cheng gave the order.
Although there were officials in the Tongzhou prefecture, due to the special nature of Wei Prefecture, they were only civil officials sent by the Northern Yan court to deal with ordinary people's affairs. The officials didn't care about the big clans in the Tongzhou prefecture. Even the order of the martial artists in the Tongzhou prefecture was maintained by the Shen clan, such as patrolling the streets.
Shen Rong had already made arrangements. The streets were very clean in the early hours of the morning. No one would come to disturb the Li clan.
Just as Li Cheng and Li Yun were about to make their move, Li Ze appeared in front of them and said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, I'm also a member of the Li Family. Bring me along for this operation."
Li Yun glanced at him and said, "What can you do with your current strength? Don't cause trouble. Go back to sleep! "
Li Ze lowered his head and said, "I just want to do my part in avenging Third Brother and Uncle Zhong."
Li Yun still wanted to reprimand him, but Li Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Alright, if you want to come, then come with us. You stay in the clan, I still need to send some people to protect you. But remember, when you attack later, don't be too far away from me. This time, we're going to kill people, not play. "
Li Ze quickly said, "Thank you, Big Brother!"
Li Yun curled his lips and didn't say anything. However, Li Cheng's words made sense. Since he was staying in the Li Clan, he would have to leave some people here to protect him. It would be better to attack together.
But at that moment, neither Li Cheng nor Li Yun noticed the vicious look in Li Ze's eyes.
When the time was up, Li Cheng waved his hand, and about three hundred of the Li Clan's true elites left the Li Clan with Li Cheng. They sped along the quiet long street, adding a sense of solemnity to the atmosphere.
At the same time, in the courtyard where Chu Xiu was staying, Ma Kuo's men were fiddling with some bows and crossbows, waiting for the Li Clan to arrive.
The people in the restaurant had already been sent away by Chu Xiu. This time, there would be a lot of casualties, and the ordinary people would only be a hindrance.
Ma Kuo pulled a strong bow and threw it to the side. "Light as a feather, far worse than the bows of my Qilian Iron Cavalry."
Chu Xiu poured himself a cup of yellow wine and slowly sipped it. "Be content. Only the imperial court often uses bows and crossbows. Very few people in the martial world use them.
I found these bows and crossbows from the Chu Clan's weapon shop. They've been made for a long time, but not many of them have been sold.
By the way, were the 36 Northern Bandits very good at crossbows? "
Ma Kuo shook his head. "Of course not. Before the 36 Northern Bandits formed an alliance, they fought for themselves, and each had their own specialties. Pang Hu used to be from the Northern Yan Army. After he built his stronghold in the Qilian Mountains, he taught us how to ride and use bows and arrows. That's why the outside world calls us the Qilian Iron Cavalry. "
Chu Xiu nodded in understanding. The world of the martial world was so vast. He could remember some of the plot, but not all of the people and things.
Moreover, he was no longer in a game, but in the real world!
In the game, one sentence was enough to describe a person, but in the real world, people were the most complicated.
For example, Pang Hu, the 'Red Faced Heavenly King' of the 36 Northern Bandits, was from the Northern Yan Army.
At that moment, Chu Xiu's ears twitched. There was a commotion outside. Chu Xiu's eyes lit up. "They're here. Get ready!"
Outside the courtyard, Li Cheng and his men surrounded Chu Xiu's courtyard. He called two men over and said, "Go in and test the waters."
Li Yun unsheathed his sword and said coldly, "What's the point of testing? Just charge in and kill Chu Xiu. There are only a few dozen of them. What can they do?"
Just as Li Cheng was about to say something, the door to the courtyard was suddenly pushed open. Chu Xiu and Ma Kuo walked out leisurely. "Young Master Li, you're right. If you want to kill someone, just do it. What's the point of testing?"
Seeing Chu Xiu, Li Cheng and Li Yun's eyes turned bloodshot. Killing intent flashed in their eyes.
Chu Xiu had killed their third brother, but this was the first time they had seen Chu Xiu in person.
Li Cheng was still bewildered. Looking at Chu Xiu's appearance, he seemed to have long known that they were coming. Otherwise, why would he be dressed so neatly in the middle of the night and still be so calm when he saw them?
Li Yun didn't think as much as Li Cheng. He just shouted at Chu Xiu with bloodshot eyes, "Chu Xiu! My third brother only touched a batch of your ores. Why did you have to be so ruthless? You even killed him and Uncle Zhong! "
Chu Xiu's face showed a hint of disdain. "Young Master Li, is this your first day in the Jianghu? How naive!
In the desolate lands of the Western Pole, people would kill each other for a steamed bun, let alone Li Zhao who touched a batch of ores worth tens of thousands of silver taels.
Of course, these are all secondary reasons. According to my original plan, I would have killed Li Zhao and that old housekeeper of your Li Family. Then my Chu Family would have been able to destroy your Li Family. Unfortunately, my plan was stopped by my own father. "
Li Yun and Li Cheng felt a chill run down their spines. Only now did they realize how vicious Chu Xiu's plan was. His goal wasn't the ores, but the entire Li Family!
If it wasn't for Chu Zongguang disagreeing and suppressing this matter, their Li family might have already been exterminated!
Li Yun sneered and said, "It's a pity. My Li Family will still exist, but you, Chu Xiu, will have to die!
Don't you find it strange that our Li Family made such a big move, but your Chu Family didn't notice a single person?
Don't worry, no one from the Chu Family will appear on this street tonight. At most, they will come to collect your corpse tomorrow morning!
Family infighting, brothers quarreling. Today, your death, Chu Xiu, will be just as laughable. Although you will die at the hands of my Li Family, your Chu Family's contribution is also undeniable! "
At this time, Chu Xiu's face suddenly revealed a strange smile, "Family infighting? Brothers quarreling? I don't know if I'll die or not, but your Li Family will definitely die first. "
Before Li Yun could react, Li Cheng suddenly felt that something was wrong. A sense of danger came from behind him. He unsheathed his sword and stabbed out like rain. With two clanging sounds, a few iron awls were cut down by him. However, one of the iron awls directly pierced into his abdomen, causing Li Cheng to clutch his stomach. His face was filled with disbelief as he looked at Li Ze, who was holding a hidden weapon and had a twisted expression on his face.
Li Cheng shouted in a hoarse voice, "Why!? You actually joined hands with Chu Xiu!? Although you are a concubine, you are still a direct descendant of my Li Family! "
Li Ze's face was full of malice, "I also count as a direct descendant of the Li Family? When did you three brothers treat me as a member of the Li Family?
Ever since I was young, all the good things have belonged to the three of you. In the Li Family, I was like an invisible person with no power at all.
The outside world only knows that the Li Family has three tigers. How many people actually remember that the Li Family actually has four sons! "
Raising his hand and waving the hidden weapon in his hand, Li Ze laughed coldly, "Do you remember this? The Tang Sect's hidden weapon, the Soul Stealing Awl. Back when we were still young, my father bought three of them. The three of you each had one to protect yourselves. Only I didn't have one. "
Li Cheng said in a hoarse voice, "You weren't even ten years old at that time. You didn't even leave the house, how could you use this thing? Furthermore, this Soul Stealing Awl was something I gave you later, and now you're using it to hurt me! "
Li Ze's expression froze for a moment, but then he laughed coldly, "You're just putting on an act!
This Soul Stealing Awl can at most injure Blood Condensation martial artists, and that's only if it's a sneak attack. When you gave me the Soul Stealing Awl, you were already in the Blood Condensation realm. This thing is basically useless to you.
Using a useless thing to show your generosity in front of your father? That's a good idea! "
A trace of coldness appeared in Li Cheng's eyes as he said, "Good, good, good! Very good! I didn't think that my Li Family would raise an ingrate after more than ten years! If I had known this would happen, I would have crippled you when my father passed away! "
Li Ze laughed coldly, "Cripple me? You should worry about yourself right now! The Soul Stealing Awl originally didn't have any poison, but I added the sap of a poisonous vine from the South. Anyone below the Xiantian Realm will die if they touch it! "
