Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Chapter 154 Let me tell you a story

"That girl is Miss Su's cousin?"

Li Lianhua, dressed in plain clothes, came down from the seventh floor, came to Li Lianpeng and said softly.

Li Lianpeng winked at him and said, "How about it? She's beautiful. Do you want to introduce me to her?"

"what?"

Li Lianhua was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, "Brother, I was joking."

Immediately his expression became serious, "Have you touched those two people?"

"I don't know much about my family background, but I think the person is fine. The two brothers are veterans of the martial arts world. Li Hu, the one among them, knows the rules."

"Since I have brother's approval, that's all."

Li Lianhua showed a relieved expression.

At noon today, my brother suddenly brought two strangers and asked him to help them register. In the future, these two people will be the external hall masters of Lotus Tower, which really surprised him.

Still, he complied.

There are very few of our own people in the Lotus Tower. Almost all the information staff are borrowed from Hall Master He.

Li Lianhua has different feelings about the name Lotus Building. After all, it is named after herself.

The original small wooden building made of wooden planks was now parked on a street corner not far away. After the guidance of several craftsmen invited from Tianji Hall, when he had nothing to do during this period, he personally worked on it. It has been reinforced.

In the future, the speed on the road will be much faster than before. In the past, four horses were needed to pull the cart so as not to hurt the horses.

Nowadays, only two horses can pull it, so long distances are no problem.

To his surprise, his brother proposed to add a few small objects between the axles, and then stuff a steel "spring" under the bottom of the truck... It should be called a spring, right?

The car is actually not so bumpy when driving on the road.

Sometimes Li Lianhua also wonders, could it be that my brother really comes from an overseas country of food?
He disappeared for so long. It may be that after he got lost as a child, some overseas merchant met him and took him away. Then when he became an adult, the merchant who taught him many skills felt guilty and asked him to cross the border. East China Sea, come to find relatives.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.

"Did you hear what I said?"

"Ah, oh, I heard it."

Li Lianpeng looked at Li Lianhua in front of him suspiciously. What's going on? Why did his younger brother become so stupid again for no reason?
Logically speaking, the poison of Bicha has been eliminated, and the old grudges from the past have been resolved. He should have nothing to worry about, right?
Could it be that there was something wrong with the practice?

He didn't know much about Yangzhou Man's technique. He only knew that it was extremely pure and extremely difficult to practice. Once he achieved some success in practice, he could use it freely. Whether it was to cure diseases and save people, or to fight and injure people, he was always top-notch.

It is a set of powerful inner strength and mental methods that are uniquely created by combining the ancient methods of Nanyin and Central Plains.

"Lianhua, are you worried about something?"

Li Lianpeng asked with a frown.

Li Lianhua shook his head, "No, why do you ask such a question?"

Is it troublesome to want to know what my brother has been through these years?
My brother knew everything he had experienced since he came down from the mountain. He even knew the relationship between him and Qiao Wanyuan, but he knew nothing about him.

"No, you definitely have something on your mind."

Li Lianpeng said: "After all, I am your brother, blood is thicker than water, and I am not an outsider. If you have any questions or unresolved matters, you can tell me."

Seeing the way the other person was opening his mouth to speak, Li Lianpeng added, "Of course, don't ask about what happened to me over the years. It's too bizarre, and you won't believe it if I tell you."

Li Lianhua didn't want to ask at first, but after hearing what he said, she unexpectedly said, "Brother, how do you know I don't believe it?"

"Tell me."

"Do you really want to hear it?"

"need."

"That's okay, I said it."

It turned out that there was no problem with martial arts, but that he was wondering about his origins.

This must have been bothering him for a long time, right?

Not to mention others, Li Lianhua was the first person he had close contact with in this world, and there were some things that he couldn't satisfy.

Moreover, it is not good to keep hiding it all the time. In the future, the two of them will plan for the world side by side, and it will not work without a firm foundation of trust!
"That's right." Li Lianpeng pondered for a moment, looked at Li Lianhua seriously, and said, "Let me tell you a story, from my first point of view."

"Don't worry about whether this story is true or false, or how mysterious it is. After all, there will be news in the story that you want to know. I don't need to lie to you about this."

"Well, please tell me, brother."

Li Lianhua sat up straight.

"My Li family was also a prominent family back then, with thousands of acres of fertile land, and more than 20 servants and servants..."

"That day, blood flowed along the threshold and outside the gate. It was all over the door. Only you and I were the two children who were desperately injured by the mother who fought to get out..."

"...When I was on the verge of death, I had a very real dream. In that dream, I went to a place where there was no hunger, no beggars, and there were high-rise buildings everywhere..."

"The people there are well-fed and clothed, in good order, feasting and feasting, and the prosperity is like a dream."

"A big bird made of iron flies in the sky, filled with people. A cart running on the ground does not need a horse, but only needs to burn a kind of oil. People sit in it, not feeling a bump, and can travel thousands of miles a day... …”

"Tall buildings cover the sky and the sun. A city can accommodate millions, and nearly ten million people live in it without appearing crowded..."

"People there don't use candlelight, and their weapons are not swords, but more powerful guns, cannons, and even nuclear weapons that can level a city or even a dynasty to the ground in an instant..."

"There, you can know things thousands of miles away in an instant, and you can also talk to people thousands of miles away. You can talk for a quarter of an hour, and all you need is just a few copper coins..."

The handsome young man had a look of reminiscence and nostalgia on his face and spoke of a dazzling dream world.

Li Lianhua listened very carefully, trying to understand his past experiences from the real dream world Li Lianpeng said.

However, to his dismay, the world that brother described was too dreamy, making people feel quite unreal.

Does that kind of world really exist where everyone has enough food and clothing?

Also, people sit in iron boxes and fly high in the sky...

Isn't that thing afraid of the thunder in the sky?

God is mighty, how can manpower defeat it?
How can a cart run without horses?

A hundred-story building... even higher than Shandu, right?

How was such a house built?

"... Countless novel things are displayed in front of me through a palm-sized piece of iron."

"... Countless delicacies are waiting for me to taste..."

Li Lianpeng spoke here, attracting the two cousins, whose relationship was rapidly warming up.

Su Xiaoyong and Su Chan'er walked over quietly, holding hands, and stood not far away from the two of them.

Zhu'er, a lay disciple of Mount Emei, stood behind the two of them. Listening to the world described by Li Lianpeng, his almond-shaped eyes widened and he couldn't help but quietly wipe his saliva.

"...the delicacies include steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, and roasted goose. I have never tasted most of them here. There are also braised pig, braised duck, sauce chicken, bacon, and pineapple. , tripe, dried meat, and sausages, there are some of them that I have eaten before, which are unforgettable.”

"There are also assorted Supan'er, smoked chicken and white tripe, steamed eight-treasure pig, duck stuffed with glutinous rice, canned pheasant, canned quail, braised assorted pieces, braised goose, pheasant, rabbit breast, vegetable python , whitebait, steamed husky toads! Braised shredded waist... No, there are too many dish names, I can't remember them." "In terms of food, that's all for now. Besides, I'm hungry... No, I'm hungry now."

Li Lianpeng touched her growling stomach and ended the description of the world in the dream.

"It's really...a dream world."

Li Lianhua looked at Li Lianpeng with a complicated face, and the suspicion in her heart became more certain.

My brother may have really been overseas.

It is said that there is a dynasty at the end of the East China Sea. The people there are different from Daxi in terms of humanities, history, food and drink.

He once saw a red-haired and blue-eyed foreigner on the other side of the East China Sea, but at that time he had no intention of communicating with others, so he never paid attention to him.

At this point, it seemed that something must have been missed, and those people were most likely from outside the East China Sea.

Most of the small countries and tribal people near the Daxi Dynasty looked like the people of Daxi, and there was not much difference.

Even some foreigners, such as the Nanyin people, the Yuehan people, the Western Ying people, and the Lu people, are only slightly weirder, but it is obvious that they are on the same continent.

"Brother, have you really been overseas before?"

"That's the food country?"

Li Lianhua couldn't hold back and asked anyway.

Li Lianpeng, who was stroking his belly and thinking about what to eat later, was slightly startled, "Overseas?"

He looked at Li Lianhua, who had a complicated expression and wanted to get confirmation from him. He hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I guess I've been there."

Having been there in a previous life should count, right?

His words stopped in Li Lianhua's ears and changed into something else.

Brother, I have really been overseas...

Su Xiaoyong on the side said at this time: "Meal Country? Li Lianpeng, is there really such a place besides Daxi?"

Li Lianpeng noticed the approach of the three women very early. Hearing this, he turned to look at Su Xiaoyong.
"I made up the name, but beyond this East China Sea, at the end of the tens of thousands of miles of sea, there must be someone there."

After pondering for a while, he smiled slowly and said: "This world, if nothing else, should be very big."

"Master Li, have you really eaten all the food you mentioned?"

Zhuer said impatiently.

He even raised his arms and wiped the corners of his mouth.

Li Lianpeng looked at the foodie girl in front of him and suddenly felt a lot more friendly.

"Of course I have eaten it, not just in the dream world, but in reality I will also do it. If Miss Zhuer is willing to help me bring my senior sisters in Emei Mountain, please two of them come down the mountain, I can guarantee that you will eat it at my house for a month Delicious food.”

"Steamed!" The foodie girl asked excitedly with her eyes shining.

"Steamed." Li Lianpeng nodded with a smile. It's just an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks. It can bring peace of mind to himself. This business is a good deal.

"Put it on Zhu'er!" the snack guy responded, patting his chest.

For the sake of delicious food, just think you are a good person!

Zhu'er was thinking like this, but he never thought about whether the person in front of him would lie to him.

After all, he is the sweetheart of the cousin whom the young lady admires, so he should not deceive this little maid like himself.

Besides, he still wants something from us, so he won’t lie to us, hehehe!

Su Chan'er glanced at the girl next to her angrily, feeling a little embarrassed.

Although she had never regarded Zhu'er as a maid, but as her close confidant. After all, in such a large Su residence, the only one who could speak her mind was this girl who had a big heart and a strict mouth, and was devoted to her.

But revealing Zhu'er's other side in front of her cousin still made her feel a little hot.

In fact, she also likes food. Every time Zhu'er goes out to buy some snacks and eats freely, she has to share them with her...

It's all Zhu'er's fault, she also wants to eat the delicious-sounding delicacies Mr. Li mentioned.

By the way, Zhu'er's identity is his maid, so it's okay for her, the master, to be a guest in the house, right?

Also, my cousin is my biological cousin, so she will definitely not refuse my request to stay temporarily.

……

Of course Su Xiaoyong would not refuse, not to mention that she and Li Lianpeng were not married yet, even if they worshiped heaven and earth and became husband and wife, that would be even less likely.

Her Jinling Su family was sparsely populated, and she was the only one left in her generation. She was naturally happy to have a cousin suddenly appear.

Although she had been to Lin'an before, she had never come to Lin'an's Su family to recognize her relatives.

One is that it's inappropriate, and the other is that she doesn't want to.

The conflict caused by the ancestors was not something she, a junior, could reconcile between the two families.

What's more, grandpa also said that the Su family was split into two. The Lin'an Su family hated his Jinling Su family.

Because the ancestral home of the Su family is located in Jinling, the Lin'an branch was driven out back then.

This is also the reason why the two Su families have never interacted with each other.

In the evening, Li Mansion on Lotus Lane.

Before the banquet started, the sound of a moderately violent fight came from the yard.

"It's too slow."

"The posture of drawing the sword is wrong."

"If you use too much force, you will injure your muscles and bones."

Under the eaves, Su Xiaoyong and Su Chan'er sat opposite each other, one in a white dress and the other in red, like two peonies in the sunset.

The two sisters were watching the girl in the yellow dress holding a long sword in the yard and testing Qingluan's martial arts practice.

Su Xiaoyong smiled and said: "Sister Chan'er, this little maid is really good at martial arts."

Su Chan'er didn't understand this and just laughed softly:

"Zhu'er is not like this on weekdays. Maybe she heard that her brother-in-law wanted to give her delicious food, so she made her own decision and wanted to show off."

Su Xiaoyong didn't hear anything else, only the words "brother-in-law" from her mouth. She felt sweet in her heart, but she said angrily:

"Sister Chan'er, it's too early for you to say brother-in-law. I'm not one yet."

Su Chan'er pursed her lips and smiled, "It will happen sooner or later."

Then he looked at the girl who was competing with Zhuer.

That girl is the maid of Li Mansion, her name seems to be Qingluan.

He looks thin and weak, and doesn't look like he knows martial arts at all. However, he can fight with Zhu'er who can beat the robbers to the point of running away.

Although Zhu'er kept saying something she didn't understand, looking at the serious look on her little face, one knew that it was not easy for her to deal with it.
