After our homes were confiscated and we were exiled, the women in my clan and I raised a million sol

After Chu Xun finished his meal in a restaurant, he took the handkerchief handed to him by the servant next to him and wiped his mouth.

After wiping his mouth, he gently folded the handkerchief, handed it to the servant, and said calmly, "Now let's go."

Hearing this, the servant was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the dark road outside the window.

The night was as dark as ink, and the road ahead was almost invisible. Only the occasional barking of dogs broke the silence.

A trace of worry flashed in the servant's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Master, it's so late now. Will there be any danger if we rush like this?"

"Why don't we wait a bit? It won't be too late to leave after dawn tomorrow."

In response to the servant's concerns, Chu Xun simply snorted coldly.

"This matter is of great importance. I must rush back and tell my father immediately."

Having said that, he paused, as if he was organizing his thoughts.

Then he continued, "And even if it's dark, so what? We in the Chu family don't keep so many guards for free! Stop saying these useless words and hurry up and get ready to go."

After saying the last sentence, Chu Xun casually threw the handkerchief back to the servant, then stood up and walked out the door.

Faced with his master's unquestionable attitude, the servant knew that no amount of persuasion would be of any use, so he quickly turned around to arrange the carriage and guards.

Not long after, a team consisting of dozens of fully armed guards had assembled and slowly drove out of the gate of Ninggu City, surrounded by a gorgeous carriage.

After rushing for a long time, Chu Xun and his team finally returned to the Chu family mansion in the first rays of dawn.

After a night of running around, Chu Xun's face looked a little haggard, with faint dark circles under his eyes, but his eyes were still as sharp as before, revealing unquestionable determination and sense of urgency.

Although he was physically exhausted, all he wanted at the moment was to see his father as soon as possible and report everything clearly.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he hurried towards the inner courtyard, and on the way he happened to meet a maid who was cleaning the courtyard.

Chu Xun didn't have time to exchange pleasantries or explain anything. He stepped forward and grabbed the maid's elbow, then asked in a serious and urgent tone, "Where is my father now?"

The sudden action frightened the maid so much that she trembled all over and almost dropped the broom in her hand.

She was obviously frightened by the young master in front of her who was usually gentle and polite but was extremely anxious today.

"Reply... reply to the young master's words."

The maid stammered, "The master is still...still asleep..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he frowned and a hint of impatience appeared on his face.

"Go wake him up right now!"

Chu Xun raised his voice, his voice full of commanding force, "Just say I have something very important to discuss with him!"

Hearing this, the maid's face turned even paler.

As everyone knows, the master never has a good temper towards people who disturb his rest, let alone being forcibly awakened at this time.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder, and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.

However, faced with his appearance in anger, she knew there was no reason to refuse.

Just as the maid was hesitating, the man who appeared seemed to see her concerns and suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and go!"

The loud shout was as deafening as thunder, and the maid was so frightened that she no longer dared to hesitate. She nodded in agreement and turned around and ran towards the master's room.

As the maid's hurried figure disappeared from his sight, Chu Xun finally relaxed his tense body a little.

After the maid left, she quickly and cautiously walked through the quiet corridor and came to the door of Chu Shi's room.

She knocked on the door gently, her voice soft and a little anxious: "Master, the young master is back and said he has something important to discuss with you."

Chu Shi, who was originally sleeping soundly, frowned and a look of anger appeared on his face after hearing this.

He said loudly, "Didn't you tell him I was resting?"

The maid trembled at the sudden angry voice and quickly responded, "I already said that, but the young master said there was something important and asked me to wake you up immediately."

After hearing this, although Chu Shi was still dissatisfied, he got up from the bed and opened the door.

He looked at the maid coldly, then slapped her in the face, snorted coldly, and walked towards the study.

The maid who was slapped didn't dare to make a sound. She stood there with a look of grievance, tears in her eyes.

A red palm print was left on her cheek, but she could only endure the grievance and pain silently.

In the study, Chu Xun paced back and forth anxiously. His steps were fast and chaotic, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep worry.

His fingers tapped on the table from time to time, making a slight sound, revealing his inner uneasiness and tension.

When Chu Shi pushed open the door and walked into the study, Chu Xun immediately came to greet him with an anxious expression on his face, as if he had something important to tell Chu Shi immediately.

He quickly told Chu Shi in detail what happened in Liu's mansion, including every detail and conversation.

After listening to Chu Xun's description, Chu Shi's expression immediately became gloomy, his face wrinkled, and his eyes flashed with anger.

He slammed the table with a loud bang, then angrily said, "Since they won't give my Chu family face, there's no need for them to continue to exist! Call all the other family heads here and discuss how to deal with the Liu family."

After hearing Chu Shi's order, Chu Xun nodded, and a determined expression appeared on his face.

Then he turned and left the study to carry out Chu Shi's orders.

Soon after Chu Xun left the study, the Chu family's hall became lively.

The heads of various families arrived one after another, hurriedly coming on foot or in carriages.

The hall was brightly lit and the atmosphere was tense and serious.

The Chu family's servants were busy entertaining the guests, serving them tea and snacks.

Chu Shi sat in the main seat in the hall with a solemn expression.

He swept his eyes over everyone present, and then slowly spoke: "Everyone, I have gathered you here today to discuss how to deal with the provocation of the Liu family."

"Our Chu family has always valued peace, but the Liu family has sided with the untouchables, repeatedly going too far. Now, we need to unite and fight this enemy together."

The family heads present nodded in agreement.

They knew that facing the powerful Liu family, it would be difficult for one family alone to compete.

Only by uniting together can we form sufficient strength.

In the following time, the heads of each family spoke and put forward their opinions and suggestions.

Some advocated a direct attack on the Liu family and their annihilation in one fell swoop; others believed that negotiations should be conducted first to resolve the dispute peacefully.

After a heated discussion, they finally reached a consensus: use courtesy first and then force, and if negotiations fail, use force.

After discussing the matter, the heads of each family stood up and said goodbye.

They returned to their homes with firm determination and began to mobilize private soldiers, collect food and fodder, and forge weapons... The entire city seemed to be shrouded in the shadow of war.

The Chu family and other families, with their assembled private soldiers, marched towards Ninggu City, determined to destroy the Liu family.

They set out in a mighty force with high morale, and everyone was full of determination and fighting spirit.

However, Zhang Liang and his team had already known about their actions and were prepared for them.

Zhang Liang is the think tank of the Liu family. He had long anticipated that the Chu family and other families would take action, so he prepared countermeasures in advance.

Before the Chu family and other families' troops reached halfway, they were all wiped out by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry sent by Zhang Liang.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is the elite force of the Liu family. They are good at raids and battles, and have very strong combat effectiveness.

The Chu family and other families' teams were attacked by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry without any preparation and fell into chaos and panic for a while.

They tried to organize a counterattack, but their efforts seemed pale and powerless in the face of the powerful pressure from the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

After a fierce battle, the Chu family and other families' teams were completely defeated.

Their bodies were scattered across the battlefield, and their blood dyed the ground red.

When Chu Shi learned that the troops they sent were completely wiped out, he was shocked, but soon became scared again and immediately packed up and prepared to leave.

But they had no way to escape, as they were immediately wiped out by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who arrived.
