Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Chapter 152 The arena is more than just beating and killing
Seeing the surprised Li Lianpeng in front of her, Su Chaner blushed and felt helpless in her heart.

She knew that the request she blurted out was excessive, and even seemed a bit strange to ordinary people.

However, this is impossible.

She had a bad feeling that the people sent by her brother to chase her back would be able to find them soon.

If she continues to procrastinate aimlessly, not to mention that she will prove that she is not a flower vase in Yangzhou City, it will even be a question of whether she can continue to stay here.

So the only way at the moment is to find a local force that can be relied on as soon as possible and use its own advantages to settle down first.

Let the Jianghu people sent by your brother not dare to arrest people blatantly, so that you can have room for change with those people.

As for safety issues, there is no need to worry. Although she does not know martial arts, the Zhu'er around her is still very powerful.

She is not afraid of ordinary martial arts masters. After all, Zhu'er learned from Mount Emei. Her masters and sisters are all very powerful people and have a great reputation in the martial arts world.

If there is really no other way, reporting to Mount Emei will definitely ensure that their lives are safe.

After thinking for a moment, Su Chan'er looked at Li Lianpeng Rourou and said:

"When the little girl sees Mr. Li, he is a kind-hearted person who understands right and wrong. After all, people with extraordinary talents like Mr. Li are extremely rare even in Lin'an City where the little girl lives!"

Although she looked very shy, what surprised Li Lianpeng was that Su Chan'er, who was suspected to be Su Xiaoyong's cousin, could still flatter her with a calm tone and a clear mind.

Coupled with that oval face that doesn't look annoying at all, but instead makes people feel protective from the bottom of their hearts, it is even harder to refuse her request.

"This……"

Li Lianpeng rubbed her chin, looked at the woman in front of her, and couldn't help but be speechless for a moment.

After a moment, in the expectant eyes of the other party, Li Lianpeng's attitude changed and he smiled:
"Now that Miss Su has discovered it, I won't cover it up."

"I am indeed kind-hearted. What I like most in my daily life is helping others."

Hearing him boasting like this, Zhu'er, who was wearing a yellow skirt, couldn't help but roll her cute eyes.

Su Chan'er was stunned by what he said and smiled slightly awkwardly, "Well, I wonder if Mr. Li can..."

Li Lianpeng laughed. In short, he had no clue, so he just walked around with Miss Su.

"Let's go. As a half-Yangzhou native, I have no right to welcome visitors from other places. Just follow Miss Su to take a look at the scenery of Yangzhou."

Su Chan'er gave a gift, "Thank you very much, Chan'er."

Li Lianpeng looked at Su Chan'er in front of her and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. If she was placed in the same environment in her previous life, this girl would definitely be able to accomplish something now.

"Qiaoyang Street is just ahead. If Miss Su has something she wants to buy, she can choose it here."

After Li Lianpeng finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of two people not far away looking at this side.

Although he was a little confused, with Li Lianpeng's eyesight, he could still tell that both of them were people with martial arts skills.

After pondering for a moment, Li Lianpeng said: "You two ladies are here first, and you will come as soon as you get down."

After saying that, Li Lianpeng walked towards the two people who were following a few people.

The two men were around 30 years old, with knives hanging from their waists. They were dressed as ordinary Jianghu people, each wearing a bamboo hat. One of them had a scar on his face, which spanned half of his face, and he looked extremely fierce.

Seeing Li Lianpeng walking towards them, the one with the scarred face pressed the edge of the bamboo hat and said something to the person beside them. The two turned around and walked faster towards an alley.

Li Lianpeng curled her lips and followed closely.

……

"Two heroes, please wait a moment."

"I wonder what the two of you are doing following us?"

Li Lianpeng stood at the entrance of the alley and called out loudly to the two Jianghu people who were about to climb over the wall and leave.

After hesitating for a moment, the two jumped down from the wall. One of them clenched the handle of the knife and looked at Li Lianpeng,
"Master, do you know the identities of the two women you just followed?"

The person who spoke was the scar-faced one. His voice was hoarse and low. He looked at Li Lianpeng and asked cautiously.

Li Lianpeng was confused and asked: "What is your identity? Could it be that you are the princess?"

"..." Scarface was silent for a moment, and then said: "I think you are well-dressed, sir. You should be a child of a local aristocratic family. Do you know the Su family in Lin'an?"

Li Lianpeng secretly thought, as expected, what a coincidence, she is really Xiao Yong's cousin.

"I've heard a little bit about it." Li Lianpeng smiled and nodded.

Hearing this, the scar-faced man looked at him in surprise, and then said: "That Miss Su is the daughter of the Su family in Lin'an. Ten days ago, she escaped from her boudoir and came to Yangzhou with her maid Zhu'er. City, when my eldest son learned about it, he was furious and sent me to come and take her back..."

"wait."

Li Lianpeng interrupted this person, frowned and asked: "Since she is the daughter of the Su family in Lin'an, why do you use the word "escape" to describe her? Is it possible that this daughter of the Su family is not even free?"

"Ha." Scarface laughed lowly,
"Freedom?"

He looked at Li Lianpeng, as if questioning his status as a 'rich kid', "Among the rich families, except for the eldest son, how many people are free?"

"If there was, I wouldn't have been sent here."

Li Lianpeng looked at Scarface's disdainful sneer and couldn't help but sigh.

"Listening to your words, this Miss Su is probably not as good as an ordinary person. She would be captured by her family's vicious servants even if she goes far away from home. It's really... so unreasonable!"

The first half of the sentence is still sighing, but the second half has a tone of indignation.

The scarred face narrowed his eyes, "So, Young Master is going to be nosy today?"

As Scarface finished speaking, the young man who was ten feet away from him quickly waved his hand, as if he was startled, "No, no, no, please don't misunderstand me."

I saw him scratching the back of his head shyly,

"To be honest, I hit it off with that Miss Su... Even though it was our first meeting, Miss Su trusted me so much. I couldn't just watch her being taken back like this by you. What if you were lying just now? But what should we do?”

"Although ruthless gangsters who rob houses and sell people are rare in this world, what if two of them happen to be the gangsters who are so greedy for money? What if these two beautiful young girls are right under my nose for no reason? Being kidnapped down there, I'm afraid my conscience will be troubled."

The corners of Scarface's mouth twitched involuntarily, and his anger began to surge.

His patience was almost exhausted.

He didn't want to cause trouble. Everyone who runs in the world knows that the situation in Yangzhou has been changing recently and there are undercurrents surging. Many people in the world are flocking to Yangzhou, including some fledgling talents.

For example, a few days ago, a young hero came out of Yangzhou City. In one day, he kicked several local martial arts schools.

Afraid of his background, those martial arts masters dared not speak out in anger, so they could only swallow their anger and consider themselves unlucky.

The two of them were entrusted to bring the daughter of the Su family, who was already engaged, to Lin'an. They had been preparing for any accidents. Therefore, after discovering the daughter of the Su family, they had been observing in secret and did not immediately Show up.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of him noticed it, so he had no choice but to tell the whole story, trying to use a gentle way to prevent the young man in front of him from getting involved.

But even so, it doesn't mean that they are afraid of trouble.

They are all people who lick blood from the edge of a knife and live in the world. No one is afraid when their bloody nature comes up. "Qiang!"

The man next to Scarface took the lead in drawing out the long knife and whispered:

"Brother, why are you talking to this pretty boy for so long? To get rid of his obstacle, we can just kidnap the young lady of the Su family and go back to pay for her business. Anyway, Mr. Su also said that in an emergency, we don't need to take care of her Su family. As a young lady, just be careful not to hurt her."

After saying that, he looked at Li Lianpeng and said with a ferocious smile:

"Baby face, grandpa advises you not to meddle in other people's business here. The knife in grandpa's hand is very sharp. It's not worth it to accidentally stab you twice and lose your life."

The scarred face's eyes were gloomy, and he slowly drew out the long knife from his waist.

"Since you don't know good from evil and insist on ruining our good deeds, then don't blame the sword for having no eyes!"

Li Lianpeng blinked, with no fear on his face, and even laughed out loud under the gazes of the two Jiang Hushuang.

"Haha."

"You two are really interesting. You are polite first and then attack. You guys made it clear."

I saw the young man who was threatened by them with a knife shaking his head and smiling, with an expression of interest on his face.
"Then give it a try. If you can chop me down, I can just pretend that I didn't see what happened today."

"If you keep me down every time, for the sake of abiding by the rules of the world, I will give you a chance."

"Oh, you damn-"

The rough man next to Scarface laughed angrily at his confident attitude. He immediately stopped hesitating or asked Scarface for instructions, and ran towards Li Lianpeng with his long knife raised.

He wants to teach this pretty boy a long lesson and let him know that there are some people in this world that he cannot mess with!

……

The distance of more than ten feet is reached in the blink of an eye.

The long knife in the man's hand flashed with cold light, and he struck Li Lianpeng's shoulder blade with the knife in the head. The man laughed loudly,
"Hahaha, if you're pretty, then I'll take Grandpa's knife!"

However, the young master didn't even try to hide. He stood motionless, as if he was frightened, or he might have to bear the sword forcefully.

When Li Niu saw this, he was surprised, and then he slightly reduced the strength of his chop.

"when!"

The knife struck the brick wall beside Li Lianpeng, causing gravel to fly. The man couldn't help but said angrily:

"You pretty face, why don't you hide?!"

Li Lianpeng smiled calmly and thought to himself that he had indeed guessed it.

These two people looked ferocious and fierce, but in fact they were not ordinary gangsters as they appeared.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to take on this kind of job.

People who follow the rules must have some scruples.

Although there was no one coming and going in this alley, it was in broad daylight after all, so it was expected that they would not dare to kill anyone.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is confident that his sword cannot break his defense.

Before the knife fell, his inner strength had already been protected on the surface of his body. He was even confident that the opponent couldn't even scratch his clothes.

However, in the eyes of Li Niu and Li Hu, it was a completely different scene.

This young man is not scared out of his wits, he obviously has something to rely on!
"You are not afraid?"

Scar-faced Li Hu looked at Li Lianpeng and said gloomily.

"Why be afraid?"

Li Lianpeng changed his previous domineering attitude and said with a gentle smile: "You two are willing to tell the whole story as soon as you meet each other. Whether it is the truth or a made-up lie, you are still a person who respects the rules. Come to think of it, I won’t do such stupid things as killing people.”

The two brothers Li Hu and Li Niu, who had seen through their thoughts, looked at each other and felt a little unsure for a moment.

Scar-faced Li Hu's expression changed for a while. He took a long breath, suppressed the impatience in his heart, signaled Li Niu to put away the knife, and then raised his hand to Li Lianpeng and said:

"I'm Li Hu, that's my younger brother Li Niu, I don't know your surname."

Li Lianpeng didn't show any gesture, just cupped her hands.

"My surname is Li and my given name is Lianpeng."

"It turns out to be Mr. Li. I have offended you just now. Please forgive me Mr. Li."

Li Lianpeng waved her hand, "It doesn't matter, meeting each other is fate. You two, let's not fight or get along. How about having a drink together?"

Seeing the hesitation on the face of the man who called himself Li Hu, Li Lianpeng smiled and said: "Walking in the world, many friends lead to many paths!"

"Then...it will be according to the wishes of the young master."

A war turned into jade and silk.

A quarter of an hour later, in the restaurant.

Li Lianpeng picked up the wine glass and signaled to the people at the table,

"Guys, I'm going to be the host today. I'm going to treat you to a drink. Although you can order food as much as you like, please don't be polite to me."

Su Chan'er looked at Li Lianpeng and then at the two men sitting next to him. She was silent for a moment and raised the wine glass in her hand.

She had already heard Mr. Li tell her the whole story. These two people were the ones sent by her brother to take her back.

I don’t know how Mr. Li discovered the two of them, even Zhuer didn’t notice...

She was a little confused about Mr. Li, whom she approached to talk to on a whim...

Originally, she just thought that Li Lianpeng didn't look like an ordinary dandy. He was wearing luxurious clothes, sitting outside a small teahouse, sighing as he watched the people coming in and out of the brothel. There was no obscenity in his eyes, and he showed It was so clear that she couldn't help but feel good about it.

Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be a person that his brother always talked about.

This trip to Yangzhou seems to be worth it...

While Su Chan'er was thinking wildly, Li Lianpeng smiled and said:
"I have never been to Lin'an. I don't know what kind of place it is. However, I have lived in Yangzhou for a long time."

"Yangzhou is a good place. If you don't dislike it and have nothing to do, I will take you to have a good tour here in the past few days."

"After all, it's here."

Li Hu looked troubled, "Master Li, to be honest, my two brothers..."

Li Lianpeng interrupted with a smile: "Putting aside the morality of the world for now, I wonder if the two brothers Li are interested in making a living in Yangzhou?"

Before Li Hu could refuse, Li Lianpeng raised three fingers.

"Every month, I am willing to pay 300 taels of salary."
