C14 Fraternal Disintegration
"Father, those bandits are very fierce. I barely escaped with my life. Father, give me another chance. This time, I will definitely double the capital." Chen Qian kowtowed as she spoke, tears streaming down her face.
"It's not your fault. You …" "Step back."
"Yu'er, what did you get?"
"Father, I turned Father's hundred gold into eleven hundred gold. In addition, I brought back horses worth five hundred gold." Chen Yu whispered.
"Oh? You turned a hundred gold into one thousand gold, and five hundred gold worth of horses? " Chen Zhong's eyes lit up as he stared at his son and asked.
"Yes, Father."
"How did you do it?"
"I just brought the grains to Nanyang, then sold the iron to Dan Yang, then sold the iron to Dan Yang, and then sold the horses to Xu Chang. After a round of selling, I had a rich profit."
"Well done." Chen Zhong nodded.
"That's not fair. If I hadn't met a bandit, I would have earned as much money as you." Chen Qian exclaimed on the side.
"Yeah, Qian'Er's luck is a bit bad." Chen Zhong sighed.
"Father, your son also encountered the bandit leader." Chen Yu said calmly.
"Oh? You met a bandit too? Then why was your food not taken away? "
"A while ago, I took in a brave warrior named Dian Wei. He was the one who repelled the bandits and protected my safe journey."
"En, it's precisely because of your hard work that you were able to reap some rewards." Chen Zhong smiled and nodded.
"If I had a warrior like Dianwei, I could repel the bandits." Chen Qian said.
"Even if there is a brave warrior like Dian Wei, I'm afraid you will not be able to find him. I have found Dian Wei from the wilderness. If elder brother has the ability, then find him and give it a try."
"Qian'Er, there's no need to say anymore. You've lost this match." Chen Zhong said.
"But father …"
"A loss is a loss, there is no need to force words... "Cough, cough …" Chen Zhong coughed once again.
"Father …" Chen Yu looked at Chen Zhong anxiously. His father's illness had never recovered, so he really couldn't get angry. Otherwise, there was a possibility of it getting worse.
Chen Qian blinked. Seeing that Chen Zhong was angry, she did not dare to say anything more.
"Qian'Er, you can leave now." Chen Zhong said.
"Fine." Chen Qian helplessly said. She fiercely glanced at Chen Yu before she turned around and walked out.
"Yu'er, you did very well this time. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?" Chen Zhong asked.
Father, a lot of robbers have appeared in Yingchuan recently, our Chen family is well-off, so it is necessary for us to build an army of servants to prevent them from harming us, and secondly, we can protect the merchants in my family from harming us. Father, a lot of robbers have appeared in Yingchuan recently, and our Chen family is rich, so it is necessary for us to build a family of servants to prevent them from harming us, and secondly, we can protect our family of merchants from harming us.
"So it's like that." Chen Zhong nodded and pondered for a moment. After a while, Chen Zhong said, "This is not a small matter. I want to discuss it with the family head, what you said is very reasonable. I think the family head will agree to this matter."
"Thank you, father." Chen Yu slightly smiled, two elegant arcs appeared between her lips.
Chen Yu walked out from the room. He had a calm expression on his face, not a hint of the joy of victory on his face. His age didn't match with his current age, after this period of training, Chen Yu had already started to grow.
"Idiot, I didn't expect your luck to be so good that you actually stole the merit!" When they arrived at a quiet corner, Chen Qian suddenly walked out from a corner and blocked Chen Yu's path. Behind him, stood a burly, middle-aged man. This man's bronze colored muscles were extremely firm, and there was a distinct scar on his face.
"Luck? Do you think this is luck? " Chen Yu smiled.
"Hmph, idiot. Do you think that you can win against me just like this and win father's trust? Stop dreaming! The heir to this branch of the Chen family will definitely be me, Chen Qian, not a fool like you! " Chen Qian's eyes showed hostility.
"Whether or not I can gain my father's trust is something that I should do, not something that I should say. I think that the matter is already very clear. What else is there to say?" Chen Yu said.
"Idiot. It seems that you are tired of living. If you don't want to live, I can grant your wish." Chen Qian said in a very low voice. Her voice was very soft, but it was filled with traces of malevolence.
Chen Yu only felt a burst of cold air as a tall silhouette appeared in front of him. It was the burly middle-aged man. At this moment, the man had already pressed down the sword at his waist.
"My lord, how are you going to deal with him?" The middle-aged man said.
"This is the most secluded place in the Chen Residence. Do you still need me to teach you what to do?" Chen Qian said coldly.
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded, and drew out his bright long sword. The tip of the sword emitted a bright light under the sunlight, and after that, the sword stabbed at Chen Yu like a poisonous snake.
"Clang!"
A radiant light radiated as a long sword appeared in Chen Yu's hands. In an instant, the two of them had exchanged several blows. Although that man's martial arts was superb, he had never thought that Chen Yu would have such a high level of swordsmanship.
"Hua …" The man's sleeve was cut off by Chen Yu Feng, and a bone deep scar appeared on the man's arm.
"It's you!" Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat, he couldn't help but recall Wang Yue's words before he left. A masked man had attacked him and was injured by Wang Yue, and that masked man had injured his left arm. Could it be that the masked man who killed him was this man in front of him? If that was the case, then that must be because Chen Qian was the one behind this.
"So the person who wanted to kill me was you!" Chen Yu said in a cold voice.
"Hmph, idiot. You were lucky to have Wang Yue protect you last time. This time, you're dead for sure!" Chen Qian said fiercely.
"How vicious!" Chen Yu coldly looked at Chen Qian. In the next moment, his figure flashed forward like lightning, the tip of his sword pointed at Chen Qian.
"My lord!"
The man let out a loud roar and stood in front of Chen Qian. He stretched out the sword in his hand. Chen Yu's sword was thrust forward and the man's right chest was pierced through at the speed of the wind.
"Ah!
The man screamed and fell to the ground. The tip of Chen Yu's sword stopped right in front of Chen Qian's neck. At this moment, Chen Duoqian's face was as pale as paper.
Kill, or not kill! Chen Yu sighed. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to kill Chen Qian today. Not only that, if he killed her, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to his father. The only thing he could do now was to let this source of disaster rest for a period of time. Thinking about that, Chen Yu put away her sword, and said coldly: "This time I will forgive you, but if there's a next time, I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs! Get lost already! "
"My lord, let's go." The man struggled to get up and staggered away, dragging the paralyzed Chen Qian with him.
It was just a show of strength, but inside, it was just a show of strength. After today's scare, it seems that for a short period of time, Chen Qian did not dare to do anything else to him. Now, he could train his own cavalry. Thinking of this, Chen Yu coldly snorted. Putting away her sword, she walked towards the turn …
In these few months, many bandits appeared in Yingchuan, whether they were a hundred people or just a few hundred people. These people roamed everywhere to rob the caravan, robbing money, and the interests of the Chen Family received a great threat. Chen Ji was currently vexed over this matter, so when Chen Zhong told Chen Yu about the idea of forming a cavalry team, his expression changed.
Chen Ji immediately agreed. In addition, he had withdrawn two hundred gold coins to provide equipment for this cavalry unit. Chen Ji had promised that Chen Yu would personally choose fifty servants to join this cavalry unit.
The cold wind blew fiercely, and the blood-red flag fluttered in the wind. In an open field thirty miles outside of Xu Chang City, a hundred servants lined up in two rows, standing in the middle of the open ground. Chen Yuli under the banner, Xiuwei and Xu Qing divided him left and right.
