Chapter 15 The Secret of Sosoguang

Chu Xiu's caravan was going to visit the country of Yan, but in fact they only arrived at Qingyuan Town, a small border town of the country of Yan.

Because Wei County was a small country bordering Yan State before, Qingyuan Town was only a buffer zone between the two countries. It was not until Yan State destroyed Wei State that Qingyuan Town was established in this place, serving as an important link between Yan State and Wei State. The place where Weijun traded with each other.

Some special products of Yan State can be bought here, and Chu Xiu's caravan can also directly sell the goods to merchants of Yan State here.

Chuxiu's caravan went very smoothly this time, and it only took ten days to go back and forth.

But this time, it also changed many people's views on him. This second young master doesn't seem to be as useless as before, especially those in the caravan, who respect Chu Xiu very much.

At this time, in a practice room in the backyard of the Chu family, an old butler with gray hair was reporting to Chu Zongguang about Chu Xiu.

The old housekeeper's surname is Chen. Although he is also the housekeeper of the Chu family, he is very low-key. He is only responsible for serving Chu Zongguang on weekdays. Although he has no real power in his hands, he is the oldest member of the Chu family.

Don't look at Chu Zongguang retreating every day, as if he doesn't care about family affairs, but through Steward Chen, don't try to hide the big and small things of the Chu family from him.

After listening, Chu Zongguang's eyes showed a touch of surprise, but then he snorted coldly and said: "This kid is too risky, if he does this, if the bandit on the other side refuses to take it, he would rather not The goods also want to kill him, what should he do?

Also, if the bandits are not strong enough to escort them out of Shangmang Mountain, wouldn't his money be for nothing? "

Chen Butler said with a smile: "But Second Young Master's luck is not bad. The bandits who robbed him came to Shangmang Mountain recently, and their strength is good. I heard that because of Second Young Master's incident, they are already in Shangmang Mountain. Local rules have initially been established.

Anyway, having rules is at least better than having no rules. In the future, people from Wei County will save a lot of effort when they go in and out of Mount Shangmang. "

After saying this, Steward Chen hesitated and said, "Patriarch, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Chu Zongguang said lightly: "Old Chen, you have been with me for decades, what else can you not say?"

Butler Chen said in a low voice: "Patriarch, in fact, our Chu family is already very strong.

Although the eldest son has a somewhat reckless personality, his martial arts talent is not bad, and careful teaching is also innately promising in the future.

Although the second son was not up to date before, after being tempered in the Nanshan mining area, he has become good now. Although his personality is a little more aggressive and bold, his ability to handle affairs is still quite strong.

Although the third son's mind was a little gloomy, he was cautious enough to do things.

Although the fourth son is young, he is very intelligent, and he will become a great talent in the future with careful training.

Patriarch, if you can give up studying that thing and teach the four young masters well, don't let them continue to fight among themselves, my Chu family may be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Shen family in the future. "

Hearing this, Chu Zongguang's complexion suddenly became gloomy: "Old Chen, what nonsense are you talking about? You have been with me for so many years, you should know how much I paid for it, and even left home to come here Come to Tongzhou Prefecture!

What is a Shen family? After figuring out how to use it, I, Chu Zongguang, don't pay much attention to the entire Wei County, let alone a mere Tongzhou Prefecture! "

Butler Chen shook his head lightly and sighed silently.

He is an old man of the Chu family. Chu Zongguang was definitely a young talent when he was young. As a result, he went out for a living in the early years. After bringing back that thing, Chu Zongguang was like a madman. He brought his family to this Tongzhou mansion. Don't care about anything, just focus on that thing.

If Chu Zongguang could concentrate on developing the Chu family, the current Chu family would definitely be stronger than it is now.

Glancing at Steward Chen, Chu Zongguang said in a low voice: "Old Chen, I understand what you mean, don't worry, I know all these things in my heart.

I'm not dead yet, my sons are thinking about the position of head of the family, so only Xiaosi can be more honest.

They used to fight secretly, but now that they like to fight, I'll let them do it openly, as long as they don't cause trouble for me.

All right, old Chen, go out and watch them for me, don't let them cause big troubles. "

Chu Zongguang insisted on going his own way, but Chen Butler could have shook his head and stepped back with a sigh.

At this time, Chu Xiu didn't know what Chu Zongguang, a cheap old man, was thinking, but he had a pretty good time.

He didn't care about the caravan after he followed it once. Anyway, the trade route had been established, so he just waited to collect the money.

The income of the caravan is normally divided into three parts, one part is kept in the caravan to buy materials for the next business trip, one part is given to the family, and one part is kept by oneself.

Chu Xiu was in charge of the power of the caravan, and without hesitation, allocated a part of the income that should have been given to the family without leaving a trace.

The Chu family is the Chu family, and Chu Xiu is Chu Xiu. For him, the entire Chu family, and even the entire Tongzhou Prefecture, are just a springboard for him, a springboard for him to enter the rivers and lakes. Of course, Chu Xiu must first be for his own interests. Think about it.

During the time when the caravan was doing business, Chu Xiu had been practicing swordsmanship and internal skills in his own courtyard. Even Gao Bei couldn't stand that desperate style.

Chu Xiu is not a masochist, but the future is unknown, and there is a sense of urgency that is forcing him to improve his strength as soon as possible.

It was mentioned in the original plot that the predecessor of this body was Tongzhou Mansion, which had just left after experiencing family incidents, stepped into the rivers and lakes, and experienced ups and downs, which led to a drastic change in temperament.

As for what this family incident is and when it will happen, Chu Xiu has no idea.

So he could only find a way to use the resources of the Chu family to cultivate as soon as possible, and then leave the Chu family directly.

According to Chu Xiu's estimate, as long as his talent is not so bad that the heavens are angry and the people complain, after Chu Xiu becomes the heir of the Chu family and gets a lot of resources, he should be able to step into the congenital soon after he has a foundation of innate skills. .

Of course, food has to be eaten bite by bite, and the road has to be walked step by step. Right now, what Chu Xiu has to consider is not the innate, but the blood coagulation state.

The body quenching state is relatively simple, and it is necessary to exercise the muscles and bones of the body. Because of some innate skills, plus the Qibuqi powder that Chuxiu bought from the pharmacy during this period, and some pills he bought separately, these add up to one Within a month, Chu Xiu's strength increased greatly.

If the current Chu Xiu fought against the bandit who killed him before, Chu Xiu wouldn't have to dodge at all, and he could chop the opponent with a single blow by strength alone.

The real difficulty is the blood coagulation state. Now Chu Xiu feels that he has reached the peak of the quenching body state, but after eating several blood coagulation pills, he feels that his blood has not changed significantly. Obviously, he needs to hone it for a while.

Chuxiu's life here is good, but some people's life is not so good, such as Chu Sheng, the youngest of the Chu family.

Originally, only the boss Chu Kai was qualified to be his opponent in the Chu family, but now Chu Xiu has suddenly emerged. He has enough prestige in the Chu family, and is also in charge of the caravan. He can go three or four times a month. Both of them can bring huge benefits, which made Chu Sheng jealous.

The main thing is that these benefits fell into the hands of Chu Xiu, which made Chu Sheng feel a great threat.

After wandering around the house for several times, Chu Sheng frowned and said, "Mother, we can't go on like this anymore, this Chu Xiu's reputation in the family has been completely reversed, and the income of the caravan has directly doubled in his hands. In this way, I will lose after one year! The caravan can no longer remain in Chu Xiu's hands!"

The second lady frowned and said, "You want this caravan? It's not that easy, the master will not give you this caravan."

There was a trace of coldness in Chu Sheng's eyes and said: "Father won't give it to me, but what if the fourth brother wants him? Will he give it to the fourth brother?"

When mentioning Chu Shang, the fourth child of the Chu family, Chu Sheng also showed jealousy in his eyes.

The four sons of the Chu family, the eldest, Chu Kai, received a lot of love when he was a teenager, but later Chu Zongguang retreated all the year round, and ignored him, let alone Chu Xiu and Chu Sheng.

Only the youngest Chu Shang is said to be very similar to Chu Zongguang when he was a child, so even now he is quite popular with Chu Zongguang, which is incomparable to the three of them.

The second lady's eyes showed a gleam and she said: "It's not impossible, I'll try it."
