Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Chapter 153 Recruitment and meeting sisters

As soon as these words came out, the expression on younger brother Li Niu's face became wonderful, and his eyes shined.

"Brother, 300 taels a month is 100 taels more than the money that the Su family master gave us for this trip!"

Finally, Li Niu could not resist the temptation, lowered his voice, and said to Li Hu excitedly.

Li Hu kicked his younger brother under the table, but did not refuse immediately. Instead, he straightened his expression and turned to look at Li Lianpeng.
"I wonder what Mr. Li does?"

It seems that Li Hu is not easy to fool, Li Lianpeng thought to himself, and then smiled slightly, "I have two restaurants and a pawn shop under my name, and I plan to open a bank recently."

This property was taken from Feng Bujue of Fenghuo Hall. After more than half a year of operation, he made a lot of money.

The pawn shop is still the same, nothing has changed.

The real money earners are the two restaurants, 'Home Inn' and 'Yipinju'.

With Li Lianpeng occasionally sending a few dishes over, the two restaurants now have become famous in Yangzhou City, and many dignitaries come to patronize them.

"Yangzhou is not at peace during this period, and many people from other places have come. It just so happens that the business of my restaurant is very good. In order to give the guests the best experience, I must not let these people cause trouble. Therefore, I want to hire a few people who look like The less irritable people support the scene."

Li Lianpeng looked at Li Hu and sincerely extended an invitation.
"I wonder if Brother Li Hu and Brother Li Niu are interested in finding a job with me?"

200 taels can make people travel hundreds of miles from a place like Lin'an to Yangzhou to kidnap someone. Compared with 300 taels a month, if it is just to support the scene, they should be moved.

Sure enough, after listening to Li Lianpeng's words, Li Hu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded under the urging eyes of his brother Li Niu.
"Thanks to Mr. Li's trust, my two brothers are willing to be sent by Mr. Li!"

Jianghu people don't make so many twists and turns, and there is no shame in doing it for money.

Besides, the two brothers were not Mr. Su's subordinates to begin with. They came to Yangzhou this time just through an acquaintance's introduction and paid to do things.

Since nothing can be done now, just go back and refund the deposit.

They have not spent the money given by the Su family master.

Su Chan'er on the side looked at the conversation between several people, her mouth slightly opened, and she was extremely surprised.

This Mr. Li is serious about being... righteous!
He actually bribed the people sent by her brother for her!
However, this idea only appeared for a moment, and then was forgotten by her. It must not be the case.

They had only known each other for a short time. It should be that as Brother Li said, he just had a vacancy and needed these two people to work for him. It had nothing to do with her.

Zhu'er, who was unwilling to go to the table, stood behind his young lady holding a delicate long sword and rolled his eyes.

It's no use trying to please my lady like this!
Humph, this maid will not agree to this marriage!
For some reason, she always felt that Mr. Li was not pure in his thoughts. Although he gave her a different feeling from ordinary young men, every time he looked at her, she always felt nervous involuntarily.

This is why she has always been wary of Li Lianpeng.

The master once told her that she was born with keen senses and exquisite orifices, and she had the deepest understanding of the kindness and malice shown by others. In addition, if she met a martial artist who was two realms above her, she could immediately aware.

The Li Lianpeng in front of her didn't look very young, and her martial arts might not be that high. If he could give her a sense of caution, she might be up to no good.

What's annoying is that the lady doesn't believe her at all.

When Li Lianpeng suddenly said something had happened and left, she told her lady, but the lady didn't take it seriously.

Feeling the vigilance and defensive posture of the little maid in yellow skirt towards him, Li Lianpeng's eyes fell on the little girl named Zhu'er and asked with a smile:

"Miss Zhu'er is young, but her martial arts skills are impressive. I wonder where Miss Zhu'er comes from?"

Hearing his old-fashioned tone, Zhuer frowned and stared at him without fear.
"What does it have to do with you?!"

"Zhu'er, don't be rude."

Su Chan'er said softly, then pursed her lips and looked at Li Lianpeng,
"I am dissatisfied with Mr. Li. Zhu'er is a disciple of Qingfeng Taoist Priest of Baiyun Temple in Mount Emei. However, she came down to my house when she was 14 years old."

"Mount Emei? That is the most holy land of martial arts in the world. It is very powerful. Miss Zhuer has such a great background."

Li Lianpeng was surprised. Unexpectedly, this girl who looked like a maid was actually a disciple of the Emei lineage.

Mount Emei, Mount Wudang and Mount Song are all recognized martial arts holy places in the world today, with a long history and a gathering of experts.It's just that the masters in these places don't go down the mountain to get involved in the affairs of the world. For hundreds of years, they have been living on the mountain doing meditation and watching the changes in the world below.

Only when the court changes and the world is in turmoil, the masters of Taoism and Zen will lead their disciples down the mountain to save the world as much as possible and avoid the war.

In other words, only when the world is in chaos and the old-timers who live in seclusion are willing to take action.

"Humph!"

Seeing the admiration on his face, Zhu'er couldn't help but raise her chin proudly and said in a clear voice like an oriole:

"It's good that you know. This girl advises you to have no other intentions, otherwise be careful of the sword without eyes!"

As he spoke, he tightened the delicate long sword in his arms.

"how come."

Li Lianpeng shook his head and said with a smile:
"I have always been aboveboard in my actions. I am entertaining you all today because I want to make friends with you. That's all. Miss Zhu'er, please don't misunderstand me."

Xiao Yong must also find a loyal and upright disciple from a famous family, although he will hardly let her out of sight for a long time.

But the incident when Jiao Liqiao sent someone to kidnap her and forced him to show up to go there still made him very concerned.

There are many moral people in this world, but there is also no shortage of people who do not follow martial ethics.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many stories about people doing justice and drawing swords to help.

The Qingxiu people from Mount Emei are the best candidates.

As far as he knew, Mount Emei was one of the ancestral temples of Taoism. There were as many Taoist temples as there were on the mountain, among which the majority were Kun Taoists, that is, female Taoists.

These women grew up in the mountains, learned martial arts, practiced Taoism, and were not polluted by the world. They were the best candidates for female bodyguards.

Thinking like this, Li Lianpeng looked at Zhu'er again and asked, "I wonder if Miss Zhu'er has been in contact with the sisters on the mountain in recent years?"

"Yes, I have."

Zhuer subconsciously replied, then looked at Li Lianpeng warily, "Why do you ask this?"

"I wonder if I could ask Miss Zhu'er to introduce me to you?"

Seeing her looking at him like a fool, Li Lianpeng quickly waved his hand and said: "Miss Zhuer, please don't misunderstand me. The introduction I am talking about is not to ask you to take me to meet them, but to help you in your name, Miss Zhuer." I'll bring you a letter."

Zhu'er didn't ask him why, but sneered, "Why should I help you?"

This little girl's temper doesn't look like she has been cultivated in the mountains, but she is quite aggressive.

Li Lianpeng shook his head in his heart, the smile on his face not diminishing.

"It's very simple, because I have a female family member in my family who needs protection, and as for that female family member, your young lady happens to be related to her by blood. Miss Zhu'er said, why do you want to help me?"

"Huh?" Zhu'er was stunned and looked at Su Chan'er aside.

When Su Chan'er heard him mention women, she felt uncomfortable for a moment, but she was still attracted by his subsequent words.

"Are you related to me by blood?"

Li Lianpeng nodded and said with a smile: "Miss Su must have heard of her name in the Ten Thousand People List, right? My fiancée is the granddaughter of Mr. Su Wencai."

"Ten thousand people...Jinling Su family?!"

Su Chan'er widened her beautiful eyes and said in shock:
"The female family member you are talking about is Su Xiaoyong, sister Su?"

Li Lianpeng nodded and smiled, "Exactly."

"Wow! It turns out you are my young lady's distant brother-in-law!"

Zhu'er was taken aback, and the previous hostility disappeared instantly.

She didn't know how many times she had heard her lady talk about the granddaughter of tens of thousands of people.

Every time she mentioned it, the lady's tone was full of envy.

According to the young lady, the Su family in Jinling and the Su family in Lin'an were of the same lineage a hundred years ago. Later, due to a quarrel between their ancestors, the families were separated and all contacts were cut off.

More than ten years ago, the two groups had contact again, but not much.

It was also because of this that the young lady heard about the deeds of the only child of the Su family in Jinling, the granddaughter of Mr. Su Wencai, who was famous in the world.

It is said that this Miss Su can come and go freely. She does not have to be like a young lady. From childhood to adulthood, she has been bound by the rules of the house. She cannot go anywhere. She can only stay in the boudoir, learn female skills, and eventually marry. To a well-matched man of the right age, he becomes a victim of family interests.

Not only the young lady, but also the married girls in the Su family are like this.

It is no exaggeration to say that half of the credit for the Lin'an Su family's current family fortune lies with the Su family's heirs.

However, most of their experiences are difficult to describe.

It was precisely because the young lady did not want to become such a pitiful woman that she tried her best to sneak out of the house with her.

At this time, I heard that Li Lianpeng was actually the strange lady Xianggong whose name was only heard but not her person. Naturally, her attitude towards him changed greatly.

Brothers Li Hu and Li Niu also broke into cold sweat out of thin air after listening to Li Lianpeng's words.

The Jinling Su family...that is a person that must not be provoked.

People in the world of martial arts mention Su Wencai, who is among the tens of thousands of people, and those who are not in awe of him.

Not to mention anything else, it is possible to create a list of the world's martial arts masters, and to prevent those masters on the list from coming to find trouble because they are dissatisfied with the rankings, but default to the rankings on that list. When Su Wencai is mentioned, he will call him "Su". Old man, this is already shocking.

You don't need to think about it, you know that the Jinling Su family has a profound background and huge power.

The young man named Li Lianpeng in front of them was actually the grandson-in-law of Mr. Su Wencai. If they had accidentally killed him at that time, they would have been able to hide to the ends of the earth to no avail.

The Su family's Jianghu intelligence network is not a vegetarian.
People like them, who are poor and have no backing, will probably die miserably.

Li Lianpeng did not deliberately pay attention to the two Jianghu people who had agreed to work for him. After all, he could not write two characters "Li" in one sentence.

These two people know their own interests, and if they are carefully cultivated and cultivated in the future, they will definitely come in handy.

What he needs to do now is to find a way to persuade this little junior sister from Mount Emei to use her identity to get a group of simple-minded martial arts masters to come down the mountain to serve as Xiaoyong's bodyguards.

No matter how ignorant the people on Mount Emei are, they still need to eat. Otherwise, they would not open an altar every few years to invite pilgrims to climb the mountain.

None of this information is a secret. As long as you are willing, you will always find it.

He had read a lot of intelligence in the world and knew clearly that in Mount Emei, a thousand miles away, and even in Wudang Mountain, two thousand miles away, those monks who practiced martial arts, practiced Taoism and practiced Zen, all had to eat.

People die if they don't eat.

The mountains are high and dangerous, making planting quite inconvenient, and self-sufficiency is obviously not feasible.

Although those experts are not as good at lightness and can break rocks with their fists, they can use them to cultivate the land, but they are not as easy as the experienced farmers.

"Can you let me...my lady meet that little lady Su? By the way, when will you get married? Why haven't my lady and I received the news?"

Zhu'er's barrage of questions came one after another, and they also expressed Su Chan'er's feelings, so the woman did not stop the little maid from talking at this moment.

Seeing this, Li Lianpeng smiled and said: "Miss Zhuer, don't be anxious. After dinner, I will take you to find Xiaoyong."

He looked at Su Chan'er and said, "I guess you two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time and have been worried about her for a long time."

After Li Lianpeng finished speaking, Su Chan'er said awkwardly: "Master Li, to be honest, although our Lin'an Su family and the Jinling Su family have the same branch, we have rarely contacted each other. I only know all kinds of things about Sister Su." There are rumors, but I have never seen her..."

"That's it."

Mr. Li in front of him just sighed, as if he wasn't too surprised. After all, they were both married. Knowing the Su family in Lin'an, it wasn't surprising.

It's just... I didn't expect that he would already have a family, and his sweetheart would be her cousin, that strange woman who often traveled around the world incognito and whom he admired.

If it were her, she would be worthy of this strange man with a free and uninhibited personality and a broad mind.

With a sigh in her heart, Su Chan'er said: "I wonder where Sister Su is now? Can you introduce Chan'er to see her?"

Li Lianpeng glanced at the food on the table, and adhering to the principle of not wasting food, he picked up the chopsticks on the table again and said while eating the food: "She is in the Lotus Building. I will take you to see her later." she."

……

……

"Are you Lin'an's sister Chan'er?!"

"Chan'er has met Sister Xiaoyong..."

"Mo Yan is too polite, by the way, Sister Chan'er is really a rare beauty! No wonder the children of the aristocratic families in Lin'an mention you, Sister Chan'er, and they all want to prepare betrothal gifts and come to propose marriage! Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are so enviable,"

"No, no, Sister Xiaoyong, you are beautiful too. Also, Chan'er also envies you, Sister Chan'er!"

Information archives on the fifth floor of Lotus Building.

Li Lianpeng sat on a bench not far away, watching the two sisters, who were similar in age and had just met each other, happily eating melon seeds.

Well, they are indeed the sisters of the Su family. They look really pleasing to the eye.

Although the blood of the Su family flows in the body, they are like spring flowers and autumn chrysanthemums, each with its own characteristics, which is quite eye-catching.
