Chu Xiu observed the three weirdos through the window, but they seemed to have noticed Chu Xiu's gaze. They glanced at him, and the light in their eyes even made Chu Xiu's eyes hurt.
Chu Xiu quickly looked away and pretended to look at the scenery on the street. The three people didn't continue to pay attention to Chu Xiu. They walked directly into the inn and asked the innkeeper to prepare food for them and send it to their rooms.
After a while, Chu Xiu whispered to Ma Kuo, "Send some brothers to stay in the inn for a long time and pay attention to their movements. But don't get too close."
Ma Kuo nodded, and Chu Xiu left temporarily.
Whether these people came for the Chu family or not, Chu Xiu didn't plan to contact them for the time being.
His strength was limited. If they were really masters in the fifth level of the Qi-controlling Realm, Chu Xiu would be courting death if he contacted them now and played any tricks.
At this time, in the Shen family, Shen Rong, the chief steward of the Shen family, also felt very aggrieved.
Before, he was waiting to take over half of the Li family's property with joy. He didn't expect that the Li family would be destroyed by Chu Xiu after it was over!
The property that was in his hands was gone, which made Shen Rong curse the Li family in his heart. So many people couldn't even deal with Chu Xiu.
To be honest, if the Li family hadn't come to talk to him about this, even if Shen Rong knew that Chu Xiu had destroyed the Li family, he would only be surprised at the strength of Chu Xiu and the level of the Li family's trash.
But now the Li family had promised to give him half of the property, and now it was all gone, which made Shen Rong feel like the fat meat in his mouth was taken away.
So during this time, Shen Rong's temper was very bad, which made the servants who served him tremble with fear.
Everyone knew that in the Shen family, this master was more difficult to serve than the master.
At this time, one of Shen Rong's trusted subordinates carefully served a cup of ginseng tea. Shen Rong took a sip and immediately spat it out. She scolded, "Do you have a heart? Such hot tea, are you trying to burn me to death? "
The servant hurriedly said, "Master Rong, please don't be angry. I will go and get a new cup."
Shen Rong threw the teacup to the side and coldly snorted, "Alright, don't waste your energy. Damn it, it's all because of Chu Xiu that I can't do anything smoothly recently! I don't know what kind of dog shit luck he had to be able to destroy the Li family. "
Hearing this, the servant suddenly thought of something and said, "Master Rong, speaking of which, I think it's normal that Chu Xiu was able to destroy the Li family."
Shen Rong sneered and said, "What do you know? How can you casually speculate about the war between the two families? It's enough for you to brag to your subordinates, but you still want to show off in front of I? "
The servant smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course, I don't dare to show off in front of Master Rong. It's just that the strength of the bandits under Chu Xiu is really strong. Most of the Li family's servants haven't killed anyone before, so it's normal that they can't beat them."
Hearing this, Shen Rong was shocked and quickly said, "The people under Chu Xiu are bandits? How can you be so sure? "
The servant smiled awkwardly and said, "Because I was so poor that I couldn't eat, I became a bandit in Nanshang Mang Mountain for a period of time. But Master Rong also knows that I don't have much courage. I only dared to hold a knife and shout from behind. I really haven't killed anyone before.
The bandit boss I followed is called Lian Laosan. He's also a guy without any ability. He once took someone's silver to rob and kill Chu Xiu. In the end, he was killed by another group of bandits called Chu Xiu. The leader of that group of bandits is called Ma Kuo.
If I hadn't run away quickly, I would definitely have been killed by them.
But fortunately, they killed Lian Laosan, that short-lived guy. Because of that, I was able to join the Shen family and was chosen by Master Rong.
Some time ago, when I was on the streets, I saw Chu Xiu walking on the streets with Ma Kuo. Later, I paid special attention to Chu Xiu's subordinates. Almost all of them are the same group of bandits that followed Ma Kuo. "
Hearing this, Shen Rong's eyes suddenly showed a trace of surprise.
His strength and ability were average, but he was still a little scheming to be able to be the head housekeeper of the Shen family for so many years.
When this servant mentioned Ma Kuo, it immediately made Shen Rong think of many things.
The bandits of the Southern Shang Mang Mountain sought refuge with Chu Xiu. In the end, Chu Xiu reached an agreement with the bandits of the Northern Shang Mang Mountain on his first business trip. He led his caravan safely through the Shang Mang Mountain. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Everyone knew that the Southern Shang Mang Mountain and the Northern Shang Mang Mountain were connected. If Chu Xiu's subordinates were the bandits of the Southern Shang Mang Mountain, then he might have a deep relationship with the bandits of the Northern Shang Mang Mountain.
Then, Chu Xiu's caravan was robbed by his younger brother, Chu Shang. Shen Rong also heard about this. He was fine when he left the Shang Mang Mountain, but when his younger brother left, something happened. Although it seemed that Chu Shang was courting death on the surface, there were many suspicious points in this matter.
Thinking of this, Shen Rong suddenly revealed a trace of an unfathomable smile. He seemed to have found out about Chu Xiu's weakness!
Taking out the agreement that Li Cheng had written for him, Shen Rong muttered, "Fortunately, I didn't tear it up at that time. Now, it is useful."
Turning around, Shen Rong scolded the servant with a smile, "Why didn't you say this earlier?"
The servant smiled awkwardly and said, "Being a bandit is not a glorious thing. At that time, Master Rong had not taken a fancy to this lowly one yet. Of course, I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense in front of others."
Shen Rong laughed and said, "This time, you have made a great contribution! Come, follow me to see Chu Xiu. The Li family promised to give me half of their family business. This time, I must dig out two-thirds from Chu Xiu's hands! "
At this time, Chu Xiu was still practicing his saber in his courtyard. The sudden appearance of the three strange people gave Chu Xiu a sense of crisis. He was ready to observe whether the purpose of these three people was good or evil.
However, regardless of good or evil, one's own strength was always the most important. For Chu Xiu, who was still not strong enough, everything was focused on increasing his strength.
At this moment, Gao Bei suddenly knocked on the door and whispered, "Young Master, the Shen family's Shen Rong is here to visit."
Chu Xiu stopped his saber and took a towel to wipe off the sweat on his forehead. He asked in surprise, "Shen Rong? Who is that? "
Gao Bei reacted. With Chu Xiu's previous status, he didn't seem to know this person. Gao Bei quickly said, "Shen Rong is the Shen family's housekeeper. Even though his strength is weak and his ability is ordinary, but because the Shen family has already entered the Azure Water Sword Sect, Shen Bai and the current Shen family's Patriarch, Shen Mo, were all brought up by him. Therefore, Shen Rong's status in the Shen family is extremely high. Even the Patriarch has to be polite when he sees him."
"Then why is he looking for me?" Chu Xiu was puzzled.
Gao Bei shook his head, "This lowly one doesn't know. He only brought a servant over and said that he wants to see Young Master."
Chu Xiu walked out with some doubts. Gao Bei arranged for him to be in a private room in the restaurant. After pushing the door open, Chu Xiu revealed a natural smile and cupped his hands, "Housekeeper Shen is a distinguished guest. I wonder what advice Housekeeper Shen has for me?"
Facing Chu Xiu, Shen Rong's attitude was arrogant and he didn't even stand up. He just glanced at Gao Bei who was behind Chu Xiu and said, "The matter that I want to tell you is somewhat important. It shouldn't fall into other people's ears."
Chu Xiu slightly frowned, but he still let Gao Bei leave.
After Gao Bei left, Shen Rong took out a piece of paper and handed it to Chu Xiu. He said lightly, "Take a look."
Chu Xiu took it and saw that it was an agreement written by Li Cheng. After he killed him, Shen Rong had to protect the Li Family from the revenge of the Chu Family, and the Li Family had to give Shen Rong half of their family business as a reward.
In other words, the old man in front of him could be said to be the conspirator of the Li Family to kill him, although they didn't succeed in the end.
Now the Li Family was dead. As long as Shen Rong didn't take this thing out, no one would know.
But now, Shen Rong was openly showing this thing to him. What was the meaning of this? Was he humiliating him?
Chu Xiu's face was livid. He slammed the paper on the table and said coldly, "Housekeeper Shen, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Rong said indifferently, "What I mean is very simple. The Li Family promised to give me half of their family business, but in the end, an accident happened. You actually didn't die, and instead, you killed everyone from the Li Family and annexed them. In this way, I didn't get what the Li Family promised me. So now, these things will be given to you, Chu Xiu. But it's not half, it's two-thirds! "
Chu Xiu was so angry that he laughed and said, "Housekeeper Shen, are you muddle-headed? You wanted to help the Li Family kill me, but in the end, you didn't succeed. Instead, you opened your mouth and asked for things from me. Why? "
Shen Rong sneered and said, "Why? Because I know that you, Chu Xiu, colluded with the bandits of the Nanbei Shang Mang Mountain, robbed and killed passing caravans, and even robbed and killed your Chu Family's caravan, and crippled your own brother! "
