Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 138 Traveling.

The next morning.

Li Xiuyuan got up early, sat in the lobby and waited quietly.

"Young master, the matter has been settled. All ten of them are experts in the bodyguard agency. In addition, the horses and weapons are all ready."

At this moment, the guard came in and cupped his hands.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Very good, are my weapons, bow and arrow ready?"

"Already ready." The guard replied.

Li Xiuyuan looked at the weather outside again. Today's weather is fine, and it is indeed a good day to go out and hunt.

"However... Eldest Young Master, the number of people is a little less. If the Chu family really wants to plot against the Eldest Young Master, ten brothers may not be enough." The guard said.

"Ten people are enough. Since I was invited to go hunting, it is impossible for the Chu family to bring too many guards. They must be more than ten people. If there are too many, it will cause my suspicion. Don't worry about anything else. There are other preparations." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, young master." The guard nodded.

Li Xiuyuan still had a black tiger in the cloth bag around his waist, which was transformed by Weihu yesterday. The power of this tiger alone was enough to make the guards of the Chu family feel desperate.

It's just that whether the Chu family chose to attack themselves is still a question.

But be careful, there is no big mistake, the preparations that should be made still need to be done.

"Young master, Mr. Chutian Chu from the Chu family is here, and he is waiting outside the door." Not long after, Lu Bo came over and said.

"Are you here? Very good, let's go."

Li Xiuyuan, who had been sitting quietly, his eyes flashed, and he nodded calmly.

The people who had already prepared, left the mansion immediately at this moment.

At this moment, a young man dressed in brocade clothes and quite heroic was standing outside the Li residence, waiting quietly for something.

In order to ensure that Li Xiuyuan would be invited to go hunting outside the city today, Chu Tian thought that he had put down his dignity and paid a visit in person. Li Xiuyuan would not be able to shirk his visit no matter what.

"Young Master Chu, why invite this Li Xiuyuan when you are out hunting in the city today? This man is plainly dressed, plain-looking, and nothing unusual. Although he has some literary talents, he is tricky and domineering, and he is not easy to get along with. Had a lot of fun."

A scholar next to him seemed to have a lot of opinions on Li Xiuyuan, and said with a look of dissatisfaction.

Especially seeing that Li Xiuyuan still has such a big house in the city, there was a bit of sourness in his tone.

Ye Huai'an, a young man from Hedong, also said with a gloomy face, "Li Xiuyuan is the son of a merchant in Guobei County. He is a bit arrogant and domineering on weekdays. I'm afraid others won't appreciate our kindness."

Chu Tian smiled and said: "I don't think this young master Li will not even give me this face, and since I have already posted a post, it would be too dishonest if I don't come to invite me, please be safe. Come on, let's wait a little longer."

After a while, the door of the mansion opened.

Li Xiuyuan strode out with his guards, with a faint smile on his face, he cupped his hands and saluted, "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for a long time. There are many things in the house, so I had to delay a little time."

"It's good that Brother Li can go to the appointment. Since we've got everyone there, let's not waste time. Let's go. I wonder if Brother Li can ride a horse?" Chu Tian smiled back and saluted, looking at Li Xiuyuan with a bit of a smile in his eyes. Different color.

"I know a thing or two about riding," Li Xiuyuan said.

Chu Tian nodded and stopped asking any more questions.

Soon, a group of people rode horses and led dogs to the outside of Guobei City.

On the way, Li Xiuyuan sized up his fellow travelers.

There were quite a lot of people, there were seven or eight scholars, and more than ten guards. Besides, there was a carriage accompanying them. Judging from the appearance of the carriage, they should have brought a female companion.

In addition, the guards of the Chu family were holding vicious dogs for several days, bows and arrows, swords and swords in their hands, and all of them were strong and strong, and they seemed to have some martial arts skills.

The leader of these guards was a middle-aged man with a sullen expression on his face. On the way, Chu Tian called this man Steward Wang.

It should be the culprit who harmed Wei Hu's wife, Wang Tong.

"My uncle's calculations are indeed correct. Wang Tong is indeed accompanying him when he goes out to hunt this time, so that Wei Hu's great revenge can be avenged." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

"Young master, the guards of the Chu family are on guard against us."

On the way, a guard found an opportunity to gallop over on horseback and said something in a low voice.

Li Xiuyuan nodded calmly and didn't say anything, but felt that his previous guess was more and more correct.

These people from the Chu family are drunkards who don't care about drinking.

Soon, the group left the city.

The members of the Chu family had already made arrangements, and immediately took them to a beautiful mountain forest outside the city.

Although the mountain is not high, but the forest is wide and dense, few people come.

After everyone stopped in an open place, the guards of the Chu family got off their horses, cut grass and trees, took care of the place, and then laid out carpets, tables, seats, and other objects.

"Everyone, let's stay here." Chu Tian got off his horse and said.

At this time, the accompanying scholars all got off their horses and landed on the ground, and in some of the carriages, Li Xiuyuan also saw many young and beautiful women with their maids, and the maids slowly got off the carriages.

"This place has a beautiful environment. It is indeed a good place to visit. Mr. Chu is really good at finding places. Mr. Chu has found such a good place." A scholar praised him.

"Where, just staying here for a long time, naturally I know a little bit about some good places here."

Chu Tian said with a smile, and took off the bow and arrow from the horse, and then shot one with the bow.

There was only a whistling sound, and an arrow landed on a big tree not far away.

"Excellent archery, brother Chu is capable of literary and martial arts, he really lives up to his reputation." Ye Huai applauded and smiled.

"It's just a small skill, so it shouldn't be praised like this. Besides, I've been studying books these days, but I've slackened a lot in my archery skills. I don't know if I can hunt any good prey today."

Chu Tian smiled modestly, but there was unavoidably a bit of complacency in his expression.

Young, talented, and martial arts.

This is indeed something worthy of praise, ordinary scholars do not have such ability.

"It's just a half-stone bow. It can only hunt some chickens, rabbits, and roe deer. It can't hunt wild boars and tigers. It's far worse than the young master. This martial art is still showing off here. The young master can open a three-stone bow, and even tigers can kill it." To be able to kill with one arrow, I don’t know how many times better than this Young Master Chu.”

The guard glanced at it and said with some disdain.

Speaking of the young master's martial arts, there is no guard in the Li family who does not admire him.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "You can't say that. Chu Tian can ride a horse and shoot arrows. It's worth showing off in front of these powerless scholars."

"Okay, get ready and rest here,"

"Yes, young master."

The guards responded and made some preparations. They cleared out a place and set up seats to rest. You don't even need the Chu family's help for this.

Because of the reminder before, even when they are resting, the guards are on the left and right, not only to guard against the beasts that appear around, but also to be alert to those guards of the Chu family.

However, it is inevitable that you will be a little out of the group and distance yourself from the crowd.

"This person is ordinary-looking, and he knows how to be interesting. He knows that he is not welcome, so he sits away with his guards and doesn't want to disturb us." A scholar said.

"That being said, this Li Xiuyuan is indeed talented. I thought hard about the couplet he published last time, but I still couldn't get it right. I read the ancient books, but I couldn't find the source of the couplet. I think that The couplet should have been thought up by Li Xiuyuan himself."

"Oh, are you still thinking about the couplets? I didn't think much about them, because the couplets are absolute, and it's not like a child can think of them."

These scholars began to discuss.

However, the women walking nearby heard the discussion of several people.

A young and beautiful woman walked over curiously at this moment, and gave a salute: "My family Luoxia, I have seen you young masters."

"So it's Miss Luoxia, Xiaosheng is being polite." All the scholars' eyes lit up, and they hurriedly replied.

Luoxia asked; "Just now I heard some young masters talking about an absolute matter, and I was curious in my heart, can these young masters talk about it?"

Ye Huai'an immediately smiled and said: "Miss Luoxia is also interested in this? Hehe, this matter is quite disappointing. Has Miss Luoxia seen that unsociable scholar over there? His surname is Li and his name is Xiuyuan He is the son of a merchant in Guobei County. I happened to meet him that day when Mr. Chu and Mr. Chu and his party were gathering in Jibaozhai. He was a cunning man. He happened to hear us confronting each other upstairs. First of all, he pretended to be unfamiliar, dull, and not very proficient, but he didn’t know where he came up with an absolute entertainment, which caused us to think hard, scratch our ears and cheeks, but he left with a smile.”

"After thinking about it, I just realized that we were tricked by this Li Xiuyuan."

"Extremely extreme. No matter how ordinary-looking this person is, his mind is also impure. Miss Wanxia should be careful." The ordinary-looking scholar next to him said seriously.

"Oh, and this matter, why don't you know what happened to this person, so that all the young masters can't tell you?" The woman named Wanxia became curious after hearing this.

"That's right, Yansuo Pond Willow." Another scholar said.

Wan Xia read it once, and was about to confront her, but instead she frowned: "It's really not right for this pair to have gold, wood, water, fire, and earth."

"Miss Wanxia, ​​don't think about it. It's absolute. I reckon that even this Li Xiuyuan won't be right." The plain-looking scholar said.

Ye Huai'an's eyes lit up suddenly and said: "Since this is absolute and he can't be right, why don't we take this opportunity to ask for advice today and see how Li Xiuyuan can be right about this absolute? If he can't be right, isn't it a proof Did he find this pair elsewhere?"

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable, it makes sense."

"Go, go, go, let's ask together."

All the scholars suddenly rose up, and they walked towards Li Xiuyuan in groups.
