Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Chapter 155 The Art of Controlling Beasts Zhu Zhuer

"It's dinner time!"

As the man's joyful voice sounded, the two women and two girls in the yard followed the sound and looked over.

They saw the owner of Li Mansion, Li Lianpeng, standing in front of the main hall, waving to them.

Zhuer, who wanted to show off, but the process was not going smoothly, made a pause gesture with Qingluan in front of him.

"Don't fight for now."

Qingluan's face was flushed, and he looked at Zhu'er in front of him with admiration, and said sincerely:
"Sister, you are amazing!"

Zhu'er was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled proudly,
"Hehe, my master is very powerful. As her closed disciple, my martial arts skills cannot be too bad."

"Uh-huh!"

Qingluan nodded heavily, the admiration in his eyes made Zhuer feel comfortable all over.

In Lin'an, everyone likes to make friends through literature. People who know kung fu are not taken seriously there, and they are collectively called reckless men.

She was in Su Mansion, and no one except the young lady paid attention to her.

It's different when you come to Yangzhou.

She has a place to be useful. She is no longer the little vase next to the young lady. She can also help the young lady!

……

After a sumptuous dinner, both the master and the servant, including Su Chan'er, were captivated by the novel food on the table that they had never enjoyed before.

The cicadas were chirping at night, and Zhuer stood in the corner of the yard, puffing out his cheeks and whistling, trying to attract the birds that were looking for food at night.

"Choo Choo Choo!"

From time to time, the girl imitated the sound of bird calls.

Li Lianpeng, Su Xiaoyong and their cousin from Lin'an stood in the corridor enjoying the cool air.

Li Lianpeng looked at the girl and asked in confusion:
"Miss Chan'er, what is Miss Zhu'er doing?"

Su Xiaoyong was also very curious.

Su Chan'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Zhu'er has a talent and can communicate with birds. She used to use this method to contact the master, calling the birds, and then using a special medicinal powder. Smear it on the feathers of birds, and the birds will fly to Mount Emei."

Li Lianpeng's eyes widened and she said in wonder:
"seriously?!"

He had never heard of such a talent.

However, he did remember that Xiaoyong also raised a large group of white pigeons. No matter where she was, as long as she whistled, white pigeons would fly over.

The only difference is that Xiao Yong's group of little messengers were trained by her since childhood, but this girl can summon wild ones for her use.

That's great.

After Su Xiaoyong listened, he pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be a long-lost art of controlling beasts in the world?"

"what?"

Su Chan'er was stunned for a moment and asked: "The art of controlling beasts? What is that?"

Su Xiaoyong said: "It is said that in ancient times, emperors and emperors fought for hegemony and the world was in chaos. The cause was that one person spread the wrong message, which caused several neighboring small countries to fight."

"Later, there was a Fang Shu who, in order to save the world from war, invited several human emperors to gather on a mountain top for a battle of kings. The winner would rule the world."

"According to legend, the reason why Fang Shu was able to send messages to several human emperors at the same time was because he used the technique of controlling beasts."

"This technique is mysterious and can command all kinds of animals, including birds."

"It's just that this technique is extremely difficult to practice. It requires those who practice it to have the innate ability to communicate with beasts. It was also because the training conditions were extremely harsh that it was lost."

Seeing that Su Xiaoyong really relied on his poor ventriloquism skills to summon two unknown birds, he said with a complex expression: "Unexpectedly, this kind of mysterious skill has not been lost, but is in Baiyun Temple in Mount Emei..."

Zhu'er was once a disciple of Baiyun Temple in Mount Emei, so the technique she possessed should have been inherited from Baiyun Temple.

Li Lianpeng's eyes were burning.

This is an artistic activity. Although it is a bird that is being called, the usefulness is not small.

This is a humanoid telegraph. If it is used to fight wars and transmit messages in the future, wouldn't it mean that communication would be unobstructed and orders would be carried out without hindrance?

While thinking, Zhu'er, who was not far away, took out two small notes written at an unknown time from his sleeves and tied them to the legs of the two little birds respectively. Then he lowered his head and said something to the two birds. He gently stroked the feather twice and threw it outside the courtyard.

The two birds flapped their wings and disappeared into the dark night.

Zhu'er turned around, jumped up to the three of them, and said with a smile: "Okay, I have already sent the news here to Master and Senior Sister. After two or three days, Master and Senior Sister should get a reply. ."

Li Lianpeng gave her a thumbs up, "Miss Zhuer is so capable!"

Su Xiaoyong also said: "Zhu'er, what is your real name?"

Zhu'er glanced at his young lady, pondered for a moment, and said, "Zhu'er's real name is Zhu'er, and his surname naturally followed the young lady's surname, which is Su."

Su Chan'er smiled and shook her head, looked at Li Lianpeng and the two, and said:

"Don't be deceived by Zhu'er. Her surname is actually Zhu. Her mother was my mother's maid. She was weak at that time. When my mother saw that it was difficult to feed her, she asked someone to treat her. Later, she was taken away by Qingfeng who was traveling down the mountain. The Taoist priest bumped into her and thought Zhuer was very talented, so he accepted her as a close disciple and took her up the mountain."

"When Zhuer was 14 years old, we let her go down the mountain."

This is the life experience of Miss Zhuer. No wonder this girl is extremely loyal to Su Chaner. It turns out that there is such a relationship in it.

Li Lianpeng sighed in his heart, then looked at Zhu Zhu and said with a smile:
"Miss Zhuer, since you are so talented, are you interested in staying and doing something big with us?"

Zhu'er curled his lips, glanced sideways at Li Lianpeng, and said, "Master Li, are you poaching my young lady?"

Li Lianpeng touched her nose awkwardly.
"Look at what you said, Miss Zhu'er. What do you mean by poaching? I'm giving you a chance to find another job."

"Re-employment?" Zhu'er glanced at him inexplicably, snorted, and said: "Although I don't know what you mean, in short, I will not separate from my lady, unless I wait until my lady gets married and don't want me. , I will leave."

"Stinky girl, what are you talking about! How could I not want you?"

Su Chan'er looked at her angrily, then looked at Su Xiaoyong and Li Lianpeng, and said apologetically: "Sister Xiaoyong, Mr. Li, don't blame me, Zhu'er is still young and speaks uncontrollably..."

"It's okay."

Li Lianpeng waved her hand magnanimously.

Su Xiaoyong also shook his head, thinking that this girl was very interesting, she looked very much like the two little maids in her family.

"That's right, Mr. Li, I heard from Qingluan that you are also a martial arts master?"

Li Lianpeng smiled faintly, "I can't say I'm a master. I just have a little ability to protect myself. You're far behind Miss Zhu'er."

Zhu Er Shanxia looked at him, nodded, and said matter-of-factly: "It looks similar to me. Mr. Li, you look handsome, with thin skin and tender flesh, but this martial arts is not very good at first glance."

She paused and continued in an old-fashioned manner:
"The real martial arts practitioners are not like you."

Li Lianpeng laughed dumbly, "What should that be like?"

"should be……"

Suddenly, Zhu'er's eyes lit up, he pointed at the person walking in from outside the yard and said, "This kind of person looks like a martial arts practitioner."

The person who walked in from outside the courtyard was none other than Huang Haitao, the former deacon of Fenghuo Hall who helped Li Lianpeng manage the restaurant and pawnshop business. "Boss, Miss Su."

Huang Haitao ignored the two strange women in the yard and bowed respectfully to Li Lianpeng and Su Xiaoyong. He then looked at Li Lianpeng and said, "The matter you told us is now clear."

Li Lianpeng did not shy away from the two outsiders, Su Chan'er and Zhu'er, and immediately asked: "How is it? Where is he now?"

"The information my subordinates have gathered indicates that he should be in Yangzhou City now, but he seems to be investigating something. He has been staying in a villa for two days in a row and has not come out."

"Is that place inaccessible?"

Huang Haitao shook his head and said: "That is the property of the Cui family. It is guarded by officers and soldiers and is heavily guarded. Generally, outsiders cannot enter without an invitation from the Cui family."

"Okay, I see."

"Yes."

Huang Haitao resigned respectfully.

After this young man who looked quite mature left, Zhuer couldn't help but said with a solemn face:

"This guy is very powerful. His internal strength is probably quite deep. He is almost as strong as half a master!"

After saying that, he looked at Li Lianpeng with confusion in his eyes, "Master Li, do you have a bigger family background than my young lady's Su family? Otherwise, why would such a person treat you with such respect?"

Li Lianpeng's serious look calmed down and he looked at Zhu'er, "You discovered it. It seems that I can't keep you for a long time!"

"Come on!"

"what?"

Seeing him suddenly acting like this, Zhu'er became nervous subconsciously. He quickly pulled out the long sword from his waist and blocked it in front of Su Chan'er.
"You, you, please stop messing around and I'll tell you!"

"Snapped!"

Su Xiaoyong patted Li Lianpeng on the shoulder and scolded: "Damn Lianpeng, stop teasing me!"

He immediately looked at the alert Zhu'er and Su Chan'er who didn't know why, and said with a wry smile: "Don't be familiar with him, he is joking."

"The man just now is called Huang Haitao, and he is our business partner."

"call--"

Su Chan'er's expression didn't change much. She knew that Su Xiaoyong would never harm her.

Zhu'er, on the other hand, breathed a long sigh of relief and complained:

"Master Li, your food tastes good, but you are too bad!"

"It will scare people! I won't talk to you anymore!"

With that said, he put the delicate long sword in his hand into the scabbard and pulled Su Chan'er towards the guest room not far away.

"Miss, let's go have a rest early and leave this place early tomorrow morning!"

"Zhu'er..."

Su Chan'er screamed helplessly, seeing that her little maid didn't respond, and even used Kung Fu to drag her, she couldn't help but speed up her pace.

He could only smile bitterly at Su Xiaoyong, "Sister Xiaoyong, Mr. Li, let's go and rest first."

Su Xiaoyong waved his hand, "Go ahead and remember to light the incense burner at night. The mosquitoes here are very ferocious in the second half of the night."

"Yeah, I understand."

After the master and servant pushed open the door to the wing and closed it, Li Lianpeng and Su Xiaoyong were left in the courtyard.

Su Xiaoyong asked softly: "Why do you care about Chen Qingping's movements?"

Li Lianpeng raised his head, looked at the full moon rising in the sky, and said: "That guy is a true hero of the world. He has a righteous heart and a passionate heart. People have to admire him and he is worthy of winning over."

"We can't let him die like this."

The Chen Qingping they were talking about was the swordsman they had seen outside the city, and the disciple of the Qingqiu Sect who told Li Lianpeng and others the address of Wangchuan Flower.

At that time, Li Lianpeng made an agreement with him that after he dealt with the gangsters who had harmed many people, he would come to talk to him.

Later, they went to Black Stone Valley, and after detoxifying Li Lianhua, they went to Kunlun Jade City. After that, they heard that Baichuan Court held a sword appreciation conference, so they went to Baichuan Court again, but they missed it after repeated delays. made an agreement with Chen Qingping.

When they returned to Yangzhou City and were busy preparing for the construction of the Lotus Building, Chen Qingping seemed to have found something worth doing.

Didn't get a chance to meet them.

Li Lianpeng asked Huang Haitao to pay attention to what he was doing during these days.

"Cui family? Is this Cui family also a wealthy family in Yangzhou?"

Li Lianpeng stayed in Yangzhou for a long time, but it was only a month or two, and he didn't know much about local affairs.

During the period before last year's New Year's Eve, I and Hall Master He of Tianji Hall joined forces to cause trouble in the city, but I had no dealings with the Cui family. I only knew that someone from the Cui family was an official in the government and was not in charge of the job. Small.

However, our family is very low-key and almost never participates in the Yangzhou business scene.

Su Xiaoyong understood a little bit, and then said:

"Although the Cui family is not among the four great aristocratic families, their power cannot be underestimated. The old man of the Cui family was once the minister of the Ministry of Rites of the dynasty, with a first-class official position. Later, it is said that he retired due to illness and returned to Yangzhou."

"Since then, no one from the Cui family in Yangzhou has entered the court as an official."

Li Lianpeng raised an eyebrow, "Did you offend someone in court?"

Su Xiaoyong shook his head, "I don't know. My grandfather never let me inquire more about the affairs of the court."

Li Lianpeng said:

"No matter what, if he still doesn't come out in one day, I will ask Lianhua to go there in person to see what he is doing in the Cui family's villa."

Su Xiaoyong glanced at him and said, "Li Lianhua, can you leave? You handed over most of the things in the Lotus Building to him."

Li Lianpeng laughed, "Isn't there that brat Fang Duobing? I heard that he is already on his way back. Ah Fei is worthy of being the leader of the Golden Yuan Alliance. He is very efficient in doing things. Only a few days have passed. Get that thing done.”

The Xinchuan Song family is from Hongmen, and Di Feisheng went to the Song family a few days ago to persuade the Song family not to interfere in Yangzhou affairs.

Today, news came from the Long Guard Bureau that they were able to take on business normally. In the past few days, there was an outbound escort business that was about to leave. Li Lianpeng asked Li Lianpeng if he wanted to take over the young men who were learning how to shoot under Long He's knees. Come with them and go out to sharpen your skills.

Li Lianpeng naturally agreed readily.

Only by experiencing actual combat can you make rapid progress.

Especially in terms of marksmanship, how can one master the Overlord Spear to the point where it can be used on the battlefield without poking a few evil-hearted people with it?

With Li Lianpeng's permission, Long He selected six people from dozens of teenagers who were learning guns, and planned to let these six people follow him to guard the bodyguards.

The two cuddled together and talked for a while, then went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, at dawn, Huang Haitao came to Li Mansion again.

And brought not-so-good news.

"Boss, there was a fire in the Cui family's courtyard last night!"
