Think about it, if a person dares to kill even his own people, how can he not be insane?
The larger the family, the stricter the rules against infighting.
In short, you can cripple this person, or even lock him up and trample him underfoot for the rest of his life, or even 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 bit 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 am punished by the clan? As long as I become strong enough in the future, no one will dare to say anything bad about me, let alone punish me!"
Chen Xuan was in high spirits and spoke with great confidence.
For some reason, although the girls knew that he was just talking big, no one thought he was bragging.
For a moment, everyone's heart began to beat slightly.
[Ding!]
【Li Xiuning's impression? 1】
【Xu Ruolan's impression? 1】
[An Ruxue's favorability? 10]
【Lu Qiqi……】
The voice of the system 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 a fly is, it is still meat.
"Okay, without further ado, I have asked the innkeeper to prepare the carriage. We will leave after dinner. Pack up and I will wait for you downstairs."
After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out the door first.
It is already afternoon and approaching dusk. It will probably be dark by the time we finish our meal.
Bandits often appear in Bandit Mountain during the day, so Chen Xuan decided to travel at night. It is better to be safe than sorry.
The main reason is that he has learned that apart from the leader of the Overlord Village in Bandit Mountain who is a master at the level of martial artist, there are also masters at the level of martial artists on the other mountains.
Chen Xuan is only an eighth-level warrior now. If he really were to face 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 any other plans to kill him?
So traveling at night is the best way.
After all, bandits also need to sleep at night.
Capital city.
"Are you serious? How can that loser Chen Xuan be so powerful?"
In the mansion, in the front hall, 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 planning mentality.
On the contrary, he had a sinister look on his face and was obviously very unhappy.
"Would I lie to you about this kind of thing?"
Sima Xiba was a little annoyed when he saw that Chen Tian still looked unconvinced even though he had told him the situation in person.
"Chen Tian, I trusted you so much. You said he was only a fourth-level warrior at most. Just in case, I not only sent half of the Jinfeng Village's troops to ambush Chen Xuan's convoy, but also secretly transported bows and arrows for them to use. These were all borrowed from the imperial court's arsenal and must be returned after use!"
"Now the whole Jinfeng Village has been destroyed, and I have to pay for the batch of bows and arrows from the imperial court!"
"Not only did I not make any profit from this deal, I even lost a lot! You really screwed me this time!"
If he could, Sima Xiba would want 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 Jinfengzhai, a bandit den.
Now, look what happened. It was burned down completely overnight!
If you want to develop 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 is there after all. Although Chen Tian felt resentful, he dared not 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 a useless person who cannot practice. He has been pretending to be weak. We have all been deceived by him!"
Sima Xiba snorted coldly, swung his sleeves, and said, "This matter caused me heavy losses, you have to bear the main responsibility! As for the matter of killing Chen Xuan, you go find someone else!"
This means he is planning to quit.
Chen Tian felt 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.
Chen Tian was just about to mention the commission, but Sima Xiba seemed to have predicted what he was going to say, and said 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 that it will cost one thousand taels of gold."
"This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the people of Jinfeng Village. This is the mountain I have worked hard to manage for many years in Bandit Mountain, and you have destroyed it just like that. You must at least compensate me with 10,000 taels of gold!"
Hearing this, Chen Tian’s nose almost got crooked with anger.
It doesn't matter if things are not 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!
"Why, you don't want to?"
Seeing Chen Tian holding his breath and his face flushed, Sima Xiba sneered.
"My loss this time is 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 outrageous!
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 don't want to compensate you for your loss, but 11,000 taels of gold is too much. I can't come up with that much money in a short time. Can you give me a discount for our friendship?"
As he spoke, Chen Tian stretched out five fingers.
