After sending Xiaohong away, Mr. Xu pondered for a moment and then left the yard.
After a while, he came to a simple courtyard.
At this moment, under the moonlight, there was a figure practicing martial arts.
"Third Young Master!"
Old Xu shouted.
"It's Mr. Xu! Please take a seat!"
The figure put away the spear in his hand and turned to look at Old Xu.
"Xiao Cui, serve tea to Mr. Xu!"
The figure called out, and a maid immediately walked out from the shadows and cut a pot of tea for Mr. Xu.
"Why did Mr. Xu think of coming to my place at this late hour? Don't tell me you're here to watch the moon with me!"
The figure laughed.
Sitting beside the stone pavilion, the figure's face appeared under the light of the lantern and candle.
This is Chu Xiaoyu, no, this is Chu Xiaoyu’s twin brother Chu Xiaoyun.
Compared with Chu Xiaoyu, although the two look similar, Chu Xiaoyun appears to be a little more muscular, and there is more sunshine on his face than Chu Xiaoyu.
This is because the two people practiced different techniques.
Chu Xiaoyu majored in Tianji Pavilion's unique martial art, Tianji Ce, which is a technical martial art that focuses on calculations.
Chu Xiaoyun mainly practiced the spear technique collected by the Chu family.
This spear technique emphasizes strength.
It takes years to hone your strength.
"I have something important to report to the Third Young Master, so I have to disturb you!"
Old Xu sat down beside the stone pavilion.
Through the candlelight, Chu Xiaoyun could see the solemnity on his face.
Chu Xiaoyun waved his hand, signaling the maid to leave.
After the maid left, Chu Xiaoyun asked, "What's the matter? Is it about my second brother?"
"Yes, Third Young Master, I heard that Second Young Master has found the silver mine in Sand City."
Old Xu said in a low voice.
"How is that possible? My father has been looking for that mineral vein for more than ten years and he still hasn't found it. My second brother..."
Chu Xiaoyun was shocked when he heard this.
Although Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Xiaoyun are twin brothers, in fact, the relationship between the two brothers is not good.
Chu Xiaoyu has been very smart since childhood and is deeply loved by the elders of the Chu family.
Chu Xiaoyun was the opposite. He was slow and dull when he was a child and was disliked by his family.
Since childhood, Chu Xiaoyu has had a group of servants, and he is always supported by everyone wherever he goes.
As for Chu Xiaoyun, since his mother's previous life, she only arranged a maid for him and usually didn't care about him.
Although Chu Xiaoyu was nice to him, he was jealous and always harbored hatred towards Chu Xiaoyu.
It was because of him that he let himself be left out.
Not only did he often contradict Chu Xiaoyun, he even hired someone to kill Chu Xiaoyu.
This matter was eventually discovered by Chu Xiaoyu, and the relationship between the two brothers became even more distant.
In the past few years, as the two grew up and realized that the Chu family only needed one head, the conflicts between them became more and more serious.
However, Chu Xiaoyu has always had the upper hand in the fight between the two.
This made Chu Xiaoyun start to worry.
Therefore, he began to win over some people in the mansion who were of high status but who were not on good terms with Chu Xiaoyu.
Among them, Old Xu was a worshiper of the Chu family. His son was originally with Chu Xiaoyu, but one day, his son suddenly died.
No one knows how he died.
Chu Xiaoyu just said that he died while doing a mission, without even saying what the mission was.
His only son died while still carrying out Chu Xiaoyu's mission, which made Old Xu hate him.
When Chu Xiaoyun found him, the two hit it off and decided to work together to deal with Chu Xiaoyu.
“We must stop him. If we let him report this mineral vein to my brother-in-law, he will definitely be taken more seriously.
By then, he will have the final say in the Chu family."
Chu Xiaoyun said in a cold voice.
“That’s right, so I came to tell the Third Young Master that I hope you can send someone to Sand City.
It would be best if we could confirm the mineral reserves and specific locations in advance."
Mr. Xu nodded in agreement.
"I happen to be escorting a batch of goods from my family out of the city tomorrow. I will find an opportunity to break away from the team and lead the team there myself."
…
"Boss, there are more people coming from outside the city these days. They have surrounded that area, which happens to be a road. Many caravans and passers-by have been stopped. Now many merchants hope that we can come forward to solve this problem."
At the headquarters of the Tianxiahui in Shacheng, Asan reports to Yan Xiong.
"What a great show of power! Have you found out who the other party is?"
Yan Xiong narrowed his eyes, with a dangerous light flashing in them.
These people don't take Tianxiahui seriously at all. They actually blocked the road directly. It's simply an slap in the face of Tianxiahui!
"No, the other party is hiding very deeply."
Ah San replied.
“Let Feng Liu take the men over and break in directly.
I want to see what the other party does.”
Since the other party doesn't give him face, he won't be polite either.
This is a good opportunity to find out what they are digging for!
At noon, the scorching sun baked the earth like a huge furnace.
More than ten miles east of Sand City, there were already many passers-by and caravans blocking the way.
These people were all stopped by a group of gangsters whose origins were unclear and were not allowed to pass through.
"Who are you anyway? Why can't you let us pass through here?"
"That's right. This is a road. If you don't allow people to pass, do you think you don't respect the Sand City World Association?"
…
A large number of caravans were blocked. Although the leaders of these caravans did not break in, they brought their men to surround here.
In fact, they can all take a detour.
But the other party's action of blocking the road clearly has some intention.
Therefore, these caravans tacitly let the goods go and gathered here with their people.
"Commander, there are more and more people here. If this continues, someone will definitely take the risk and break in.
Moreover, the area designated is too large, and we simply don’t have enough manpower!”
A young man dressed as an ordinary person looked at the person in front of him.
This man has an ordinary face and a stern expression.
"Can you move inward a little? How is the detection going inside?"
He was holding a ball of dough in his hand, and his hands were constantly moving. The dough turned into a little man and then into a wild beast.
This man is a craftsman.
“Almost done!”
The young man replied.
"Okay, let the brothers be careful and don't let anyone in.
I have already informed the young master, he should be able to bring people here this afternoon."
The craftsman spoke.
This craftsman was exactly the man who reported to Chu Xiaoyu a few days ago.
Looking back at the place where he was digging, a gloomy look flashed in the man's eyes.
He didn't expect that this mineral vein was actually on this avenue.
Originally, if we were in the wilderness, we would just need to stop a few people with bad intentions.
Now, they have directly blocked the road. It would be strange if these businessmen didn’t find out what was going on!
"The Tianxiahui is coming!"
"Haha! These bastards are in trouble. Feng Liu brought people here!"
"Catch them all and find out what they are doing!"
…
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the crowd in the distance.
Judging from the sound, the Tianxiahui is coming.
"unlucky!"
The craftsman grunted, threw down the lump of clay, and walked over there.
