Think about it, if someone dares to kill even his own people, how can he not be insane?

The larger the family, the stricter the rules against killing each other.

In short, you can cripple this person, even imprison him and trample him underfoot for the rest of his life, or exile him eight thousand miles away, but you cannot take his life.

For example, Chen Xuan was hated by Chen Tian, ​​but Chen Tian did not dare to kill him directly. Instead, he framed Chen Xuan for stealing the family treasures and was exiled to the border because of it.

Therefore, when Chen Xuan said that he would kill Chen Tian in the future, Li Xiuning was a little unconvinced.

But she could feel Chen Xuan's resolute murderous intent, and it didn't sound like he was just bragging at all.

"I want to kill him, and no one can stop me. So what if I get punished by the clan? As long as I become powerful enough in the future, no one will dare to say anything bad about me, let alone punish me!"

Chen Xuan spoke with high spirits and great confidence.

For some reason, the girls knew that he was just talking big, but no one thought he was bragging.

For a moment, everyone's heart began to beat a little.

【Ding! 】

[Li Xiuning's favorability? 1]

【Xu Ruolan's good impression? 1】

[An Ruxue's favorability? 10]

【Lu Qiqi……】

The system's voice suddenly popped up in Chen Xuan's mind.

This made him happy, and the women around him began to like him again. Although the increase was not much, but no matter how small the fly was, it was still meat.

"Okay, without further ado, I've already asked the innkeeper to prepare the carriage. We'll leave after dinner. Pack up, and I'll be waiting for you downstairs."

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out the door first.

It is already afternoon, approaching dusk, and it will probably be dark by the time we finish our meal.

Bandits often appeared in Bandit Mountain during the day, so Chen Xuan decided to travel at night, thinking it is better to be safe than sorry.

The main reason was that he had learned that in addition to the leader of the Overlord Village in Bandit Mountain who was a master of the martial arts level, there were also masters of the martial arts level on the other mountains.

Chen Xuan is only an eighth-level warrior now. If he really faces a martial artist at the master level, it can be said that he has no chance of winning at all!

What's more, he has so many women around him.

Moreover, although Jinfeng Village was solved this time.

But who knows if Sima Xiba and Chen Tian have prepared other plans to kill him?

So traveling at night is the best way.

After all, bandits also need to sleep at night.

Beijing.

"Are you serious? How could that loser Chen Xuan be so powerful?"

In the front hall of the mansion, Chen Tian slammed the table and stood up, his eyes wide open.

In front of him stood Sima Xiba holding a feather fan.

However, at this moment, Sima Xiba had completely lost his previous high spirits and strategic mentality.

On the contrary, his face was gloomy and he was obviously very unhappy.

"Would I lie to you about something like this?"

Seeing that Chen Tian still looked unconvinced even after he had told him the situation in person, Sima Xiba felt a little annoyed.

"Chen Tian, ​​I trusted you so much. You said he was only a fourth-rank warrior at most. Just to be on the safe side, I not only sent half of Jinfeng Village's troops to ambush Chen Xuan's convoy, but I even secretly transported bows and arrows for them to use. These were all borrowed from the imperial arsenal and must be returned after use!"

"Now, the entire Jinfeng Village has been destroyed, and I still have to pay to replace the imperial court's batch of bows and arrows!"

"Not only did I not make a cent on this deal with you, I even lost a fortune! You've screwed me over so badly this time!"

If he could, Sima Xiba would have wanted to strangle Chen Tian to death!

Although Chen Tian gave him five thousand taels of gold as a reward for killing Chen Xuan and capturing Chen Xuan's wife and concubines.

But this time, Sima Xiba lost more than just the bows and arrows "borrowed" from the imperial arsenal.

The most important thing is that he spent nearly ten years painstakingly building up the bandit den Jinfengzhai.

Now, look what happened. It was burned down to ashes overnight!

If you want to build another Jinfeng Village, even ten five thousand taels of gold will not be enough!

Seeing that Sima Xiba was still blaming him, Chen Tian was so annoyed. You are a loser. You took the money and couldn’t even do the job well. Now you come to blame me, your financial sponsor?

However, Sima Xiba's status was there after all. Although Chen Tian felt resentful, he did not dare to show it.

Instead, he smiled and said, "Mr. Sima, I was stupid in this matter. I didn't expect that Chen Xuan, that loser, would be so strong."

"It seems that all these years, he is not the useless body that cannot cultivate. He has been pretending to be weak. We have all been deceived by him!"

Sima Xiba snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and said, "This incident has caused me heavy losses, and you must bear the primary responsibility! As for the matter of killing Chen Xuan, go find someone else!"

This means he is planning to quit.

Chen Tian was very unhappy.

It would be fine if I took the money but failed to get the job done, but now you are blaming me. I put up with it, but now you are planning to quit?

If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Just return your commission.

Just as Chen Tian was about to mention the commission, Sima Xiba seemed to have predicted what he was going to say and spoke first with a sour face:

"This time, I suffered heavy losses because the information you gave me was wrong. Therefore, you must compensate me. The loss of weapons and bows and arrows must be paid by you. I estimate it will cost one thousand taels of gold."

"That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is the people from Jinfeng Village. This is the mountain I've painstakingly managed for many years in Bandit Mountain, and you've ruined it. You must at least compensate me with 10,000 taels of gold!"

Hearing this, Chen Tian's nose almost got crooked with anger.

It’s okay if things aren’t done well, and I can tolerate not refunding the commission.

Now, you actually want me to compensate you?

And he opened his mouth like a lion, asking for a full 11,000 taels of gold!

"What, you don't want to?"

Seeing Chen Tian holding his breath and his face flushed, Sima Xiba sneered.

"My losses this time are at least thirty thousand taels of silver. Do you know how much it costs to train a bandit group for ten years? Eleven thousand taels of silver is too little for me!"

Chen Tian felt so uncomfortable. You robbed me and you still think it’s not enough?

This is simply unreasonable!

Although he was about to explode with anger, Chen Tian didn't dare to get angry at Sima Xiba at all.

He quickly poured a cup of tea, handed it to Sima Xiba, and said with a forced smile: "Sima, have a cup of tea to calm down."

"It's not that I'm unwilling to compensate you for your losses, but 11,000 taels of gold is too much, and I can't come up with that much money right away. Can you give me a discount for our friendship?"

As he spoke, Chen Tian stretched out five fingers.
