In Sanmiao Hall, Li Chouxin was eating fruit with Ziwei and Zhuwei.
Ziwei said: "Brother Chouxin, can you really make Hu Jin and others capsize in the gutter this time? Can the Zhang family be sure?"
Li Chouxin smiled and said, "Don't worry. I believe that Hu Jin and others and Erlianglou will disappear from Eling soon. However, I still have to add firepower to them."
"Brother Chou Xin, why are you so thoughtful? When can you use it on me?" Zhu Wei smirked at the side.
Li Chouxin was a little embarrassed by Zhu Wei's words, and then looked at the two sisters in front of her. Li Chouxin knew that when the matter was over, it was time to say goodbye, and she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in her heart.
"Um~ By the way, Brother Chouxin said he wanted to add fuel to their fire. What else can he add to the fire now?" Ziwei looked confused.
Li Chouxin slowly introduced to Ziwei that the current grievances between Hu Jin and others and the Zhang family all started from the deaths of people in Taihe near the Zhang Mansion, and then evolved step by step into today's situation. Of course, he also had his own contribution, but this matter has not yet happened There was no result, and it became an unsolved case between them. They both thought it was the other party.
"Brother Chouxin, do you want to use this matter to make a fuss? Do you want them to break up completely within these two days?" Ziwei asked.
"That's right, it's time to throw a spark of fire between them. It depends on the Zhang family whether the fire can burn big." Li Chouxin replied.
Li Chouxin looked at the sky in the distance from the door, then turned to look at Ziwei, and said: "Miss Ziwei, it won't be long before you can return to the Ling family." Li Chouxin left Sanmiao Hall without finishing her words, and went to Zhang The government has gone.
Everyone in the Zhang family was busy with Zhang Rao's marriage. People were moving in and out like ants. It seemed that the Zhang family had made some plans.
Li Chouxin found Zhang Rao, first congratulated Zhang Rao, and then slowly took out a note from his arms. This note was left by Li Chouxin to Xu Sanqiu last night, in order to add a layer of caution to the current situation in Eling. Turn on the fire.
Zhang Rao took the note curiously and looked at the content in disbelief, but soon his disbelief turned into anger. His eyes were filled with anger, and he murmured viciously that he would make the second and second floors pay the price.
However, he quickly calmed down, took the note and took Li Chouxin to find his father Zhang Shu.
Seeing Zhang Shu, Zhang Rao handed the note directly to Zhang Shu and said, "Father, these two floors are really insidious. They must be uprooted this time."
Zhang Shu didn't reply. He just opened the note and was surprised by the few words on it. The note clearly said, "The man from Taihe died outside Zhang's residence on the second and second floors." Especially the signature preface Sanqiu. When these three words appeared in front of Zhang Shu's eyes, Zhang Shu's pupils dilated and his eyes widened with anger, as if he was about to take down the second and second floors.
"Where did this note come from?" Zhang Shu asked.
Zhang Rao didn't dare to hide it and said, "Brother Chouxin gave it to me."
Hearing this, Zhang Shu looked at Li Chouxin and asked, "I wonder how Mr. Chouxin could have the autographed note from Xu Sanqiu. What is your relationship with him?"
Li Chouxin replied calmly: "Xu Sanqiu and I hit it off right away. Our relationship has been good since we met friends on the second and second floors through literature. But things are going to change in Eling this time. He plans to leave Eling and leave early today." After arriving in the city, he gave me this thing before leaving, saying that no matter who loses or wins in the future, as long as I give this thing to the other party, I can guarantee that I will have no worries in Eling City for the rest of my life."
"In this case, why did Mr. Chouxin conclude that our Zhang family will definitely win? He also sent such an important thing to the Zhang family before the outcome was decided." Zhang Shu continued to ask.
Li Chouxin looked at Zhang Rao: "The head of the Zhang family doesn't know, but Chouxin was actually involved in the affairs between the Zhang family, Hu Jin, and Yan Zefa. Mr. Ling was the one who knew about it. The matter of going to the ordnance factory was between me and Mr. Zhang." It was my idea to go together. Just because Chang Xin has a good personal relationship with Mr. Zhang, I must stand by the Zhang family at this moment, that's all."
After listening to Li Chouxin's words, Zhang Rao hurriedly spoke: "Yes, that's right. In fact, many things about the child were the help of Brother Chouxin. Otherwise, how could it be possible for the child to succeed in such a short time with his little ink? After doing so many things, even getting married and building a house was Brother Chouxin’s idea.”
After listening to this, Zhang Shu let down his guard.
"I hope Mr. Chou Xin will forgive me for what happened just now. I've been wondering recently why my bastard son seemed to have suddenly enlightened and came up with some good ideas. I thought the Zhang family had hope, but not I'm so grateful to think that Mr. Chouxin is taking care of me from behind!" Zhang Shu said deeply apologetically to Li Chouxin.
"Master Zhang is so polite. Since Chouxin is friends with Young Master Zhang, he naturally doesn't want Young Master Zhang to be in danger. This is what Chouxin should do. Master Zhang doesn't need to say thank you." Li Chouxin said.
After Zhang Shu and Li Chouxin were polite, they asked Zhang Rao to take Li Chouxin down, but Zhang Shu kept staring at the note in his hand, seeming to be planning something.
After Li Chouxin and Zhang Rao came out, they said goodbye to Zhang Rao and left the Zhang Mansion, because at this time Chouxin knew that the Zhang family and his son were going to make a fuss about the note.
After seeing Li Chouxin leave, Zhang Rao immediately returned to Zhang Shu's study.
When Zhang Rao saw Zhang Rao sending Li Chou Xin away, Zhang Shu asked Zhang Rao: "Who is this Li Chou Xin? This matter has nothing to do with him, so why are you still willing to get involved? There is something fishy about the matter. As a father, I always feel that something is wrong."
Seeing his father's doubts, Zhang Rao said, "Brother Chouxin is such a person. He is born with a chivalrous heart. Since he is on good terms with the child, he will never frame him."
"Father, is this note true?" Zhang Rao continued to ask.
Zhang Shu looked at the note in his hand carefully and was convinced that it was genuine. He said, "No one in Eling City can copy Xu Sanqiu's handwriting. This note is undoubtedly genuine."
"Then what's the point of doing this on the second and second floors? After all, it's not good for everyone." Zhang Rao was puzzled.
"Why else? Of course, the Zhang family's business has been getting bigger and bigger in recent years, which has blocked the momentum of Hu Jin and others. They continue to create trouble to frame the Zhang family and want the Zhang family to lose their status in Eling. That’s all. It’s just that they all underestimate me, Zhang Shu. Since they are unkind, they can’t blame me, Zhang Shu, for being unjust." Zhang Shu said.
"Rao'er, didn't you say that Li Chouxin has great swordsmanship before? You have been trying to communicate with him in the past two days to see if he can take action against the second and second floors for the Zhang family. To get rid of Hu Jin, the second and second floors must be Remove it first, otherwise, it will inevitably be a bloody battle, and even if you win, you will suffer heavy losses." Zhang Shu looked at Zhang Rao and said.
"Father, this matter depends on Brother Chouxin's attitude. I'm not sure whether I can make sense now, but I will try my best. As long as Brother Chouxin helps me, the two floors will be destroyed in just an instant." Zhang Rao replied.
While discussing, Zhang Shu considered the people who could still be used at the moment, but he didn't have a full grasp of the situation because he didn't have enough time.
After Zhang Rao and Zhang Shu discussed it, they thought about it and decided to go to Sanmiao Hall. This time, they brought many precious gifts with them, hoping to persuade Li Chouxin to take action for the Zhang family.
Not long after, Zhang Rao led someone to carry the gifts to Sanmiao Hall. Upon seeing this, Li Chouxin knew Zhang Rao's intention, but he didn't ask any more questions and accepted all the gifts as ordered.
Zhang Rao didn't hide anything. He took Li Chouxin and said, "Brother Chouxin, our Zhang family is really in trouble this time. Do you think you can help me again?"
Li Chouxin asked: "Why are you encountering difficulties again? Isn't everything going according to plan?"
Zhang Rao scratched his head and said: "Brother Chou Xin doesn't know that since Cun Guangyin left, there is no one around my father who can help him. But to fight them, these two floors must be removed. Only two liang can be removed." Lou, this matter can be foolproof."
"Does your father want to take action in advance? Don't you wait for the Taihe?" Li Chouxin asked.
As soon as Li Chouxin said this, Zhang Rao couldn't believe it. He stared at Li Chouxin and asked, "Brother Chouxin, look at how careless you are, why do you feel like you are covered in eyes? You can't hide anything from you, not even Hu Jin and the others." After so many days of tossing on the second floor, I don’t even know where my time is going. It’s better for you, you know everything. It really refreshes my understanding more and more. How on earth did you do it?”
Li Chouxin said: "Isn't this clear? There are only two ways for your Zhang family to overthrow Hu Jin and others. One is to eliminate the second and second floors and eradicate their power in Eling; the other is to control the Taihe. Now that we have the criminal evidence that Hu Jin and others are bending the law for personal gain, even if Hu Jin is not defeated, he will not dare to have any ill thoughts about the Zhang family. Since this time is not available, he must deal with the Taihe matter. "
After listening to Li Chouxin's explanation, Zhang Rao looked at Li Chouxin like a monster, admiring the man in front of him. However, I still had doubts in my heart and asked, "Brother Chou Xin, why can you think of it, but Hu Jin and the others can't?"
"Mr. Zhang, it's not that they can't think of it, it's that they don't think about it at all. They don't believe that your Zhang family will take action on the Taihe. After all, the Taihe has been gone for several days. It will be difficult to catch up, and there are still people on board. There are masters like Ba Qing, the rock cracker, and even if you have a master like Cun Guangyin in your Zhang family, you will definitely not leave the Zhang family at this time and take such a big risk. At this time, Cun Guangyin staying in Eling is the best choice. . This is the reason why they can’t imagine where the time will go.”
Zhang Rao was once again impressed by Li Chouxin's analysis and said: "Brother Chouxin, with your current talent, it would be a waste not to become an official. If you become an official, you will definitely be promoted in a few years."
Listening to Zhang Rao's flattery, Li Chouxin recalled the arduous journey he had taken over the years to obtain an official position, so he shook his head and said, "I want to ride the wind for ninety thousand miles, but the breeze fails me."
Li Chouxin then said to Zhang Rao: "Forget it, let's talk about your business. Why did you come to me?"
Zhang Rao replied: "Brother Chou Xin, my father has decided to gather men to attack the second and second floors tomorrow night. If we can capture the second and second floors tomorrow night, then on the first day of the new year, even if we don't have time to come back, we will face Hu Jin's men." It will also give me a better chance of winning. I also hope that Brother Chouxin can help me tomorrow night, and I will thank you very much afterwards."
Li Chou thought for a while, hesitated for a moment, and said to Zhang Rao: "I can help, but I only use one sword, but this sword is much more expensive than an inch of time. I wonder if your Zhang family is willing?"
After all, his Feiliu Three Thousand Feet has not yet appeared in the world since he was trained, and Li Chouxin also wanted to take this opportunity to test its power.
Seeing that Li Chouxin was willing to agree, Zhang Rao felt happy and asked quickly: "Oh, Brother Chouxin, you are too materialistic, but as long as you are willing to bid, our Zhang family will dare to accept it. Say it, hero Chouxin .”
"My sword can transform three thousand, and it can defeat thousands of people. Even if there is a huge rock in front of me, I can kill it with one sword. Since every inch of time is worth gold, then my three thousand sword will be worth three no matter what." A thousand taels of gold," Li Chouxin said to Zhang Rao.
Zhang Rao's face looked a little heavy for a moment and he said: "It's a deal. I'll go back and report it to my father right now, and I'll send the gold later."
After Zhang Rao finished speaking, he was so happy that he couldn't wait to go back to Zhang's house.
Zhang Rao, who returned to Zhang's house, immediately informed Zhang Shu of the situation. Zhang Shu was a little surprised. Even a master like Cun Guangyin only dared to ask for an inch of gold. How could this young man be able to take three thousand gold with just one sword? , I can’t help but suspect that I want to take advantage of the situation.
However, after Zhang Rao's description and pleading, Zhang Shu finally agreed and arranged for someone to prepare three thousand taels of gold and send it to Sanmiao Hall.
Li Chouxin looked at the golden ingot and felt happy. He thought that he would not have to worry about money for drinks in this life. Coupled with the previous gains, he could travel all over the famous mountains and rivers even if he accomplished nothing.
It didn't take long for all the Zhang family's actions to be reported back to the second and second floors.
On the second floor, Yan Erliang was very angry. If Li Chouxin had made any promise with the Zhang family, this would undoubtedly be a bolt from the blue. After all, the second floor had only experienced Li Chouxin's power not long ago.
Yan Zefa said with a meaningless expression: "Is this Li Chou really so insular? Is he so terrifying?"
Yan Erliang said solemnly: "At least in Eling, no one is his opponent. Even the Time Swordsman of the Zhang family can't defeat him with two moves. Even with such a powerful existence, this is what I The reason why Sanmiaotang has not been touched."
"Is there anything suspicious about Sanmiao Hall?" Yan Zefa asked.
Yan Erliang then slowly said: "Father, does he know why the Seven Hegemons of Eling haven't returned yet? Could it be that father really thought that they really sent the Ling family to the border to reward the army? The journey is too far and they haven't returned yet." return?"
"If there is no other secret?" Yan Zefa seemed to react.
"A few days ago, the people I sent out followed the traces and found the bodies of the Seven Hegemons of Eling. They had been buried in a ruined temple outside the city. After inspection, they found that the death situation was the same as that of Gang Yida, and it must have been done by Li Chouxin. The gentleman sitting in the hall and the medicine boy in Sanmiaotang were clearly disguised by the two young ladies of the Ling family. The reason why I never told this matter was because I was worried that Mr. Hu and my father would retaliate against Sanmiaotang and Li Chouxin and underestimate them. Li Chouxin's strength ruined the big thing, so he has endured it till now." Yan Erliang said slowly, his eyes full of resentment.
When Yan Zefa heard everything, he felt bad. His capable subordinates, the Seven Hegemons of Eling, had already been wiped out. However, he only found out at this moment. At the same time, he was shocked that Li Chouxin had such terrifying strength at such a young age. Then he said: "I, Yan Zefa, must make Sanmiaotang and the Ling family pay the price they deserve."
Yan Erliang also said: "I didn't plan to touch them originally. Since Li Chouxin is very close to the Zhang family, it seems that they can't be kept. Even if the family's wealth is wiped out, Li Chouxin must not survive tomorrow, otherwise only the ones who will suffer will be us."
"Daughter, do you have any ideas?" Yan Zefa asked.
Yan Erliang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "It seems that the strength of the four maids must be exposed in advance now. I originally thought that if Ba Qing of the Taihe was defeated, the four maids would deal with him. Now it seems I can’t wait any longer, I have to deal with Li Chouxin first, otherwise with just an inch of time and one Li Chouxin, even if the gods come down to earth, they won’t be able to deal with it.”
Yan Zefa also nodded, it seemed that this was the only way.
Yan Zefa, who originally thought that Yan Erliang had other masters, finally came to his senses: "What? The four maids? You mean the four of them: Qinyin, Seyu, Shuyi, and Chess Rhythm? Aren't they all weak women? Do you usually only know music, music, calligraphy and chess?" Yan Zefa looked at Yan Erliang in front of him with wide eyes.
Yan Erliang explained: "Indeed, in the eyes of others, the four of them are just little girls who know music, calligraphy, painting, and chess skills. In fact, what they know is their killing moves. Has my father ever heard the sound of the harp and the harp of the harp? He Ming, that's because as long as the two of them are together, they can play the desperate Sanskrit sounds that disturb people's minds, which most people can't bear; while Shu Yi does not know any martial arts, but she can predict the opponent's next move. The movements are like a knowledgeable reader; the rhyme of chess focuses all the thoughts on the chess pieces, and every chess piece is a murderous weapon."
After listening to Yan Erliang's introduction, Yan Zefa looked incredulous and asked: "If that's the case, why didn't even my father know about it until now?"
Yan Erliang said: "This is a secret hidden power that was originally used to protect our lives. If it doesn't endanger your life and mine, I don't want to expose them. After all, the fewer people who know about it, the better."
Yan Zefa looked at Yan Erliang's serious look and said, "Daughter, I have really wronged you by following my father all these years. After this matter is over, we will find a sparsely populated place and we will not let you live like this again in the future." It’s time to fight and kill.”
"Let's talk about this later. Solving the current difficulties first is the key." Yan Erliang replied.
Yan Zefa asked worriedly: "Can the four of them solve Li Chouxin?"
Yan Erliang was silent for a moment after hearing this, "I don't know either, but now I have no other choice but to take a chance."
After a brief discussion between the two, Yan Erliang called the four maids outside the door.
It was the first time for the four maids to see the landlord on the second and second floors so serious, and they knew that things were not simple.
Yan Erliang did not sensationalize, and said directly: "I originally hoped that I would never need you in this life, but it won't work anymore. The four of you really need to take action in order to have a chance of survival."
I saw the four maids saying in unison: "Just give me the landlord's orders, I will be ashamed of myself."
So Yan Erliang directly informed Li Chouxin of his plan to assassinate him.
After receiving the order, the four maids prepared everything and waited for nightfall.
