Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Chapter 148: Southern Fist and Big Dipper Spear

Fuzhou.

Hongmen, clan ancestral hall.

In the dim ancestral hall, candlelight flickered, several rickety figures were hidden in it, and an old voice came out.

"Uncle Jiu, we can't delay this matter any longer."

"Yes, Di Feisheng is a martial artist, so there is nothing to worry about, but Li Xiangyi must be eliminated, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

"What happened back then is a lesson from the past. If Shan Gudao hadn't faked his death and secretly provoked a fight between the Golden Yuanmeng and Sigumen gangs, I'm afraid that Li Xiangyi, who always likes to meddle in other people's business, would have followed the clues and found I'm coming to Hongmen."

"According to the news from Yangzhou, Li Xiangyi, whose pseudonym is Li Lianhua, has another person beside him who cannot be ignored."

"This person's name is Li Lianpeng. His origin is unknown. He is about twenty years old. His martial arts skills are unfathomable, especially his strong internal strength, which cannot be ignored. I don't know who he inherited from him."

As the two voices with obviously different degrees of richness finished, an even older voice slowly sounded out.

"In this case, why are you still looking for me? If you think it is a threat, just find a way to remove it. I am already old. Don't come to me to make decisions about these trivial matters."

"Uncle Jiu, you are the elder of the sect. How dare the younger generation not ask you for instructions?"

One of them said respectfully: "This is about the former number one in the world. Uncle Jiu, you once said that Li Xiangyi, a genius, is a breath of fresh air in the world. Let us think clearly before taking action against him. Is it worth it?" worth."

Another person answered: "Not to mention whether it's worth it or not. I'm just talking about Hongmen's century-old plan. I can't let such an unstable factor stay under my nose..."

"Ah~"

"It's been 120 years, and you juniors still refuse to give up."

Said something with unclear meaning.

'Uncle Jiu''s voice became older and looked a little tired, "That's all, I'll just pass the order. You go, let Qing Yuan come to my place."

The two voices were obviously happy, "Thank you, ancestor, for your help. We won't disturb you, Uncle Jiu."

Not long after, two well-dressed old men walked out of the clan ancestral hall in Hongmen.

These two old men are Zheng Jianghuai, the principal of Lingqiao Mountain, and Wang Xishun, the leader of Wushun Hall. Lingqiao Mountain and Wushun Hall are forces under the name of Hongmen. The two principals are famous in the world, but they are actually Hongmen. The descendants of the clan.

Fuzhou is Hongmen's Fuzhou. Hongmen's disciples can be found in all walks of life, ranging from prefecture and county magistrates to traffickers and pawns.

There are ten clan elders in Hongmen who are highly respected and respected. Zheng Jianghuai and Wang Xishun each occupy a seat.

However, outsiders only know the ten elders of the clan, but they don't know that above these ten people there is Uncle Zheng Jiu, a longevity star who is over two decades old.

Even he himself had forgotten Uncle Jiu's name, and he seemed to be on the verge of death. He stayed in the ancestral hall all year round and almost never went out.

However, the top ten clan elders in Hongmen did not dare to underestimate this real clan elder.

The reason why Hongmen's power is unshakable and has remained standing for hundreds of years is largely due to Uncle Zheng Jiu.

Among the Nanquan and Beidou lineage, most of the martial arts learned by direct disciples were taught by this old man step by step.

The two people who came out of the clan ancestral hall looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.

What outsiders don't know is that Hongmen seems to be calm now, but in fact, those open and hidden stakes all over the rivers and lakes have begun to move.

Some people corrupted the important officials of the imperial court, some bewitched Jianghu sects, and some instigated princes to rebel... In short, the people of Hongmen have never really extinguished their ambition to regain the old country.

It is a pity that what Daxi did back then was too extreme, and there was too little information left by the previous dynasty. It is only in the memory of a very few people. The hatred between family and country relies on word of mouth.

By the generation of Zheng Jianghuai and Wang Xishun, there is no hatred, only endless ambition.

If it weren't for Hongmen's ancestral precepts, their generation of clan members would have rebelled decades ago.

Unlike now, I have been subdued and waiting for the most mature time.

"Uncle Jiu is old and has no ambitions anymore. What we juniors have to do is to let him enjoy his old age in peace."

Arriving at a house near the ancestral hall, Zheng Jianghuai stroked his beard and said.

Wang Xishun shook his head, "The day the Shengsha Hall is in Uncle Jiu's hands, he will have no time to spare."

The Hall of Life and Death, a punishment hall unique to Hongmen, has similar responsibilities to the Baichuan Court.

It's just that the Shengshatang doesn't care about Jianghu affairs, it only deals with disputes between brothers and sisters within Hongmen.

There are hundreds of thousands of people in Hongmen all over the world. If they are not restrained and controlled, they will be nothing but scattered sand.

And Shengshatang plays this role.

"Where is Qing Yuan now?"

"Runzhou, she went to help King Ji at the beginning of the year according to the personal order of the sect master."

"Prince Ji, that extremely ambitious prince will probably be a troublemaker in the future."

"It doesn't matter. After all, King Ji is a well-known figure. He has a big family and a great business. He has enjoyed glory and wealth for half his life. He will not be willing to ruin his current life for less than [-]% of the possibility."

"So determined?"

"Of course!"

"I hope so."

The two were chatting in the yard. The maids and servants stayed far away from them and only dared to approach when they were serving tea.

After about a stick of incense, a young woman with a graceful figure, wearing green armor, and a cold face walked in from outside.

"Master Jiu said that two clan elders are looking for me?"

Zheng Jianghuai looked at her in surprise, "Qingyuan, when did you come back?"

Jia Qingyuan is the current leader of the Life and Death Hall and a close disciple of Uncle Zheng Jiu. This girl is young, but she has inherited her father's temperament and will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.

Of course, that also includes beauty traps.

"It's been a while since I came back...it's Qingyuan's fault that I haven't informed the two clan elders that I'm safe."

Having said that, he must act solemnly and accept punishment with great courtesy.

Zheng Jianghuai quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know what happened to you. Thank you for your hard work these days."

Jia Qingyuan shook her head and said with a voice like a bell:
"The great cause of liberation will be fought with swords and fire, no matter how hard it is."

This is also the reason why she took charge of Sesshōdo before she was 30 years old.

loyalty.

Zheng Jianghuai and Wang Xishun looked at each other and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.

"Cough cough."

Wang Xishun cleared his throat and said concisely:
"Qing Yuan, I believe Uncle Ninth has already told you about that matter. I will only explain a few words."

"This trip is dangerous, so we must do everything possible."

"Then Li Xiangyi was once recognized as the best in the world. He has superb swordsmanship. You have to be careful."

Jia Qingyuan nodded, cupped his hands and said:
"Please rest assured, clan elder, Qingyuan knows about it."

Wang Xishun's old face turned into a chrysanthemum smile, "Go ahead."

……

……

Yangzhou City.

Lianhualou, a newly established Jianghu intelligence agency on the first day of June, started to get busy after the first few days of depression.The Ju Bao Tun Golden Chariot stopped at the corner of the street not far from the Lotus Building. Li Lianpeng opened the curtains and looked at the various guests coming in and out of the Lotus Building, with smiles on their faces.

"Let me tell you, as long as they realize the convenience of this information, they will definitely become addicted and they won't have to worry about losing business."

Su Xiaoyong, who was sitting opposite him, shook his head.
"In the final analysis, it's just a place to get information. If others are willing to follow suit, they may not be able to steal business from our Lotus Building."

Li Lianpeng withdrew her gaze and looked at the woman opposite,
"Do you think those people can sort out the Jianghu news in the entire Jiangnan area as clearly as we can?"

"certainly--"

Su Xiaoyong thought for a moment and said no more.

Indeed, it is not easy to imitate their Lotus Tower.

Tianji Hall, Jinling Su Family, Baichuan Academy, and Golden Yuan Alliance, the entire information network woven by the four Jianghu forces is really difficult to surpass.

In the whole world, I am afraid that only Hongmen, who has eyes all over Daxi, can compete with the Lotus Tower they built.

The gangster force named after Li Lianhua's mobile building has recently become famous in Yangzhou City and even several nearby cities.

The first person to prove the strength of Lotus Tower was an escort agency.

This escort agency has had a bad year in recent years. It has received several big business orders, but none of them went smoothly. Either they were involved in a murder case while escorting the escort, or the goods they escorted disappeared halfway.

This long-established escort agency in Yangzhou City, called Longshou Escort Agency, almost ended up being unable to uncover the truth due to a series of accidents.

On the second day of June, an escort from the Longshou Escort Bureau happened to pass by the Lotus Building after drinking, and walked in by accident.

On the recommendation of the "publisher" of Lotus House, I spent 20 taels of silver to find out who was targeting their Dragon Guard Agency.

It was an unintentional move, and the escort didn't have much hope.

Who would have known that in less than half a day, the other party would find the information he wanted.

Lianhualou helped them find the person behind the Longmen Escort Agency.

And also provides solutions.

The escort was immediately shocked and quickly returned to the escort office to report to the person in charge who was struggling with the debt. The person in charge, with the idea of ​​treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, entrusted the matter to Lianhualou. .

Another day later, not only did the Long Guard Agency's debt not have to be repaid, the other party was also sent to a cell by Lianhua Tower.

Not only that, the other party also helped them take on an escort business. The employer was a well-known family in Yangzhou City, and the goods being escorted were not complicated, just a load of iron ore.

Just escort them from Yangzhou to Jinling City.

But this time, Longshou Escort Bureau did not encounter any accidents and completed the escort safely and smoothly.

In order to be grateful, the person in charge of the Long Guard Bureau took the initiative to promote the Lotus Tower.

Therefore, Lotus Tower opened up the situation and gained people's recognition.

"Xiao Yong, would you like to accompany me to the Dragon Guard Bureau's dinner party later?"

While Su Xiaoyong was silent, Li Lianpeng across from him suddenly asked expectantly.

The woman raised her head, glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, raised her head and said, "Since you have asked me so sincerely, I will accompany you there."

"Thank you very much." Li Lianpeng was very happy.

The head of the Long Guard Bureau had a little daughter who was fierce and fierce. She glanced at Li Lianpeng out of nowhere and decided that he would not marry her.

Li Lianpeng trembled after learning the news that was spreading in Guangling District.

The most difficult thing to get rid of is the beauty.

He had seen the Liu family's young lady from a distance. She was not ugly. She was a beautiful girl from a small family, with thin branches bearing fruit. However, she was too short.

...This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he already has a heart, and it has been less than three months since he got married to the person he likes.

He didn't want to create extraneous problems or misunderstandings.

Not even a rumor.

Fortunately, his Xiaoyong is not the kind of person who has the temper to listen to the wind or rain. He is quite generous and does not take this matter to heart.

In Su Xiaoyong's view, it is natural for women to like Li Lianpeng, who has a unique appearance and unique temperament.

Of course, that's just the surface.

Secretly, the woman still had reservations about this.

And the result is——

He didn't say a word to Li Lianpeng for two days in a row.

Today, Li Lianpeng tried to coax him to be happy.

In order to dispel the woman's doubts about him, Li Lianpeng had to use his trump card.

Integrity!

Since there are rumors in the public that there is something going on between me and that young lady from the Liu family, let this rumor be disproven!

That night, unitary time.

The Longshou Escort Bureau held a family dinner and invited the benefactor of the Escort Bureau and the real boss behind the Lotus House, Li Lianpeng.

The Dragon Guard Agency is run by a pair of half-brothers.

The eldest brother's name is Liu Shoucai, and the second brother's name is Long He.

Liu Shoucai had two sons and one daughter. Long He was injured when he was young and could not have children, so Liu Shoucai's two sons adopted one from the past.

The relationship between the two brothers is quite good. Liu Shoucai's swordsmanship is not as good as that of Di Feisheng, but it is more than enough to deal with some gangsters who have evil intentions.

Long He was special. This man's marksmanship was exceptional. According to Li Lianhua's inference, Long He's marksmanship was probably from the "Beidou" and was from the same lineage as the contemporary Spear Saint Xue Cheng.

The so-called Beidou refers to the plateau tribes north of the Central Plains of Daxi.

It is also the current Junmo City.

Although Junmo City is within the territory of Daxi Dynasty, it actually has its own set of laws and does not obey Daxi's orders.

The state where Junmo City is located is Canglan State. The people are strong and strong. Most of them make a living by grazing and raising livestock. Only a few people cultivate farmland.

Spear Saint Xue Cheng came from this Junmo City and inherited the marksmanship from the Beidou sect.

The Overlord Spear used by Long He was one of Beidou's Seven Star Spears.

When Li Lianpeng and Su Xiaoyong arrived at the gate of Longshou Escort Bureau, the first and second masters of Longshou Escorts Bureau welcomed them out.

"Young Master Li, you are here."

"Hurry up please!"

Liu Shoucai was tall and round, and his eyes narrowed when he smiled. He looked nothing like that girl who looked like a flower but had a strong personality.

Long He is a thin, middle-aged man. He is very tall, almost as tall as Li Lianpeng. He has a high jawbone and looks difficult to get along with.

However, when Li Lianpeng came to the door, he still managed a smile on his face and said hello.
"Young Master Li is here."

"With the sincere invitation from the two masters, I dare not not come, hahaha."

Li Lianpeng nodded, chatted with the two of them for a while, and then walked into the brightly lit courtyard, accompanied by the two of them, one on the left and one on the right.
