Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

In the backyard of the Cui family, Fang Duobing and Liang Jiu came to a study room used to store books.

From top to bottom, the Cui family is full of scholars who have read books by sages and have a scholarly family background.

The literati were decent, while the warriors were vulgar. This was also one of the main reasons why Daxi, or in other words, many ancient dynasties fell.

The court was entirely controlled by literati, and generals who guarded the frontiers and were capable and willing to fight were not taken seriously.

He may even be ostracized and criticized, which would not be easy on anyone.

The reason why the Cui family withdrew from the court and did not allow future generations to participate in the affairs of the court was because more than 100 years ago, at the beginning of the founding of Daxi, an unparalleled military god emerged from the Cui family.

This ancestor of the Cui family, whose surname was Cui and whose name was Quji, was the elder brother of the current old man of the Cui family.

The ancestral home of the Cui family also benefited from Cui Quji, and the founding emperor of Daxi sent people to help repair it.

According to historical records, Emperor Xicheng of Daxi was originally brave and good at fighting, and his generals were as fierce as dragons. Cui Quji was one of them.

At first, this person was a libertine and a playboy who was not favored by his family.

Cui Quji was frail and sickly when he was young. He was similar to Fang Duobing today. Even his names were similar.

Later, in order to cure his illness, he practiced martial arts with a Taoist master who passed by his house since he was a child. When he became an adult, Cui Quji was already a hero in the world. Endorsed by the Cui family's background, Cui Quji joined the army and began his military career.

Because of his unique charisma and the skills he learned from the unknown Taoist priest, he quickly rose to prominence in the army.

Following Emperor Xicheng, he fought several victorious battles, mostly with a small number winning against a large number, with thousands of cavalry defeating ten thousand soldiers.

Holding a horse hoe, he can kill the enemy troops as rout as locusts, which is a great achievement.

It is precisely because of this that Cui Quji, who has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, gradually received more attention from Emperor Xicheng and was awarded several titles in succession.

Later, after his great achievements shocked the emperor and the world was stable, Emperor Xicheng was bewitched by traitors and demoted Cui Quji again and again, who was brave and unparalleled in strategy, wisdom and courage.

This is also the reason why the Cui family has not served as officials in the court for decades.

The Cui family was once the top family in Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. Later, it lost the support of the government. Although it still retained the title of scholarly family, it could no longer shine as before.

Cui Quji's untimely death pushed the Cui family to the opposite side of all the aristocratic families in Jiangnan.

Climbing the dragon and attaching oneself to the phoenix is ​​a common behavior among people living in this era.

The Cui family, which was so brilliant and unparalleled in the limelight at that time, began to plummet because Cui Quji was jealous of the master of the world.

Fang Duobing and Liang Jiu came to the Cui family tonight just to find the Cui family's genealogy.

That is, the related deeds of Cui Quji.

Cui Quji died before he was sixty years old that year. The Cui family wanted to settle the matter and preserve the family. Emperor Chengxi knew that he had killed the wrong person, so in order to save his face, he ordered the relevant records to be burned.

Few people know that the Cui family was once a well-known Wangmen family in Yangzhou City, and even in the entire Jiangnan area. The number of servants and maids under the family was enough to add up to several people!
If the Cui family had not lost their Sacred Heart due to suspicion back then, they would not be in this situation now.

"Xiaobao, is it possible that the kind of thing you mentioned still exists after more than 100 years?"

Liang Jiu looked at Fang Shaoxia who was rummaging around and asked helplessly.

He couldn't read, but when he read, the densely packed words on the book seemed to come to life, chanting sutras in his mind.

It's fine if you let him pick up a hammer and fight, but if you let him read a book, it's better to kill him.

"The legendary genealogy must be in this Cui residence."

Fang Duobing turned around and glanced at Liang Jiu, and said in a conclusive tone: "This is what the old beast of the Cui family said himself, and he shouldn't be lying."

"But that genealogy, isn't it the name of the descendants of the Cui family? How could there be martial arts secrets and military art books left by Cui Quji?"

They came to the ancestral home of the Cui family on this trip, and were entrusted by Su Xiaoyong.

According to her, the reason why Cui Quji was so brave and victorious in battles was because he was inspired by the unknown Taoist priest and wrote a military book.

Emperor Xicheng was bewitched by traitors and was suspicious of Cui Quji, who had hundreds of thousands of troops guarding the border. He even burned the military documents written by him.

But the manuscript is hidden in the Cui family.

In the hope that Cui Lai would be able to defeat the enemy quickly, Emperor Xicheng did not kill them all and left the Cui family in Yangzhou behind, but he would not entrust him with any more important responsibilities.

"Look, we must find it."

Fang Duobing thought, his hands moving constantly.

Not long after, the young man suddenly said in surprise:

"found it!"

Liang Jiu quickly looked towards him and saw a thick book in his hand.

He came closer, looked down at the book in his hand and asked, "Is this the genealogy?"

Fang Duobing nodded excitedly, "Aristocratic families generally have genealogies in their homes. The styles are quite different. My family also has one, but I haven't had the chance to read the genealogy... It's not important. Let's see if there is anything we are looking for in it. !”

As he spoke, he lowered his head to blow off the dust on the cover of the book and opened it.

……

……

Jiazhuang.

Looking at the three uninvited guests outside the door, the owner of Jiazhuang, a man named Jiazhuang, twitched his eyes and immediately asked with a smile:

"I wonder who the three young masters are?"

"Li Lianpeng."

"Li Lianhua."

"The sound of the flute flying."

The three said in unison.

Li Lianpeng smiled and said: "I heard that our village never refuses foreigners. The three of us passed by here and wanted to come to ask for a drink of water. I wonder if the owner of the village is willing?"

Jia Zhuang wanted to say that it was getting late, but after thinking about what the hall master had told him, he still nodded bravely.

"We are all guests. You three gentlemen, please come in."

Li Xiangyi, the best Li Xiangyi in the world!

There is also the sound of the flute, the leader of the Golden Yuan Alliance, the flute!
Jia Zhuang felt that his heart and liver were trembling.

They are not willing to hide their identities at all!

While his heart was trembling, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

No matter what, after all, his life belongs to Hongmen, and he has enjoyed a lot of blessings in these years, so take it as you wish.

Entering through the gate, you can feel the hustle and bustle inside more intuitively.

Several Eight Immortals tables were placed in the middle of a long and narrow road. They were filled with delicacies. The servants who served were walking through them, busy serving food and pouring wine...

Of course, in Li Lianpeng's eyes, the food on the table was just rough and not delicacies at all.

Sitting around the Eight Immortals table, there were more than 20 tall-looking men. These men were no different from ordinary Jianghu people. The only exception was that they wore almost uniform clothes.

The dark brown robe has crane feather patterns embroidered on the sleeves and back.

The identities of these people are self-evident, they are people from the Crane God Sect!

Seeing the three young men brought in by Jiazhuang, who were all dressed in extraordinary temperaments, the Crane God Sect members became wary and looked towards them.

Li Lianpeng nodded towards them and showed a gentle smile, showing that he was harmless to humans and animals.

"Master Jia Zhuang, who are these?" One of the bearded men came up with a wine bottle, looked at Li Lianpeng and others, and asked Jia Zhuang.

"A few young men passing by asking for water." Jia Zhuang didn't know how to introduce him. He was afraid that the other party would attack if they disagreed. Being able to find him here already meant that the other party knew his identity.

He has also heard about the Lianhua Tower's Jianghu intelligence network. Recently, many Jianghu people in Yangzhou City have been spreading news about Lianhua Tower.

"Any news will be delivered within three days" is their famous slogan, and they do it.

No matter what news you want to know, as long as you pay a certain fee, you can get a satisfactory answer from the other party.

From this point of view, the sudden rise of the Lotus Tower, which has no idea how to operate, is enough to win the attention of Hongmen.

"Oh? That's really a coincidence."

The bearded man looked at Li Lianpeng with a smile but not a smile, "I wonder what I call you, young master?"

He realized that the person in front of him should be the talker among the three people, and he immediately asked.

"My surname is Li and my given name is Lianpeng. I wonder what your surname is?"

"Tao Dabiao, deacon of the Crane God Cult."

The bearded man introduced himself with a carefree hand. He didn't look like a preaching 'clergyman', but more like a reckless person. He couldn't hide the reckless aura that hit his face.

This further confirmed Li Lianpeng's conjecture.

This group of people must have really been hired by someone with money. In the name of the Crane God Sect, they learned a few magic tricks from somewhere, and they were fooling around in the towns outside the city.

"Crane God Sect? I would like to ask you, what kind of god is the Crane God enveloped by Crane God Sect? Where does he come from?"

Li Lianpeng asked with a smile, without the slightest hint of respect in his tone.

When Tao Dabiao heard this, his expression changed. Before he could speak, an angry shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Bold! How dare you disrespect the Crane God!"

"Clang!"

The actors who hid their long knives under the table pulled out their long knives in an instant.

For a while, the scene became tense.

"I would like to advise you, sir, don't inquire about Lord Crane God's origins. If he hears about it, he will impose divine punishment!"

He glanced at the two people behind Li Lianpeng, his face was gloomy, and he lowered his voice and said:

"By then, we will all be in bad luck!"

"..." Li Lianpeng was speechless.

WTF?

Divine punishment?Big brother, I see you have big eyebrows and big eyes, don’t be too outrageous!
Just as Li Lianpeng was laughing, he heard a roar and something flew over the dark sky.

Soon enough, behind Li Lianpeng, Di Feisheng's eyes suddenly lit up. He jumped up from the spot, scattered the black cloth wrapped in the long knife, held the handle of the knife, and slashed towards the sky with the knife.

"Sila..."

Two wings the size of door panels fell to the ground, and a sharp scream came.

"Wow—"

I don’t know how to describe this cry.

It looks like a bird but not a bird, looks like an animal but not an animal. In short, it sounds weird.

After the cry, a huge object fell from the sky and fell heavily to the ground.

"..."

The people present were silent for a moment, and many people fell silent immediately.

Taking a closer look, it was clearly a person on the ground, a person who had lost both arms!
The man lying on the ground was about eight feet tall, a head taller than Liang Jiu. He was wearing a large black fur coat, and his two arms were cut off by Di Feisheng. At this moment, blood was pouring out of the shoulder blades.

"Is this the Crane God you are talking about?"

Li Lianpeng felt disappointed.

At first, looking at these Jianghu people, all of them are rough and tough, and look like they are not easy to mess with, I thought that the guys they pushed out and worshiped as gods somehow mastered a unique skill.

At least he must be someone like those two masters from Lu State, one who is on the list of masters among [-] people.

--Worth to talk about.

At noon today, Su Xiaoyong found out the identities of the two people who made trouble at Mankouxiang Hotpot Restaurant. They were Ruan Wuchang, ranked No. 90, and the butcher No. 1.

Both of them were from the Lu country. In their early years, they struggled in Daxi's arena. With their close cooperation, they killed many masters of Daxi's arena. They were two demonic figures just like Di Feisheng back then.

The reason why they are not as famous as Defei is because they fight alone and kill people not for fame, but just for fun.

Di Feisheng is different. Behind him is the Golden Yuan League, a cult that scares martial arts people. It has many masters, many of whom are both good and evil. They are extremely loyal to Di Feisheng, the young leader of the alliance.

They are organized and disciplined. Although they are called a cult by everyone, they do not do boring things.

When Di Feisheng kills people, he only looks for the masters on the ranking list. He first declares a life-and-death battle, and then conducts a life-or-death contest.

He was just a martial arts idiot, and he was spread rumors by relatives and friends of the masters who died at his hands. In a few years, he became the most feared devil in the world.

He and Li Xiangyi, the leader of the Righteous Alliance, are one good and the other evil. They are incompatible with each other and are incompatible with each other.

From Li Lianpeng's point of view, what was more important was that Li Xiangyi was too invincible back then, and the people in the world were all warm-hearted. In order to find him an evenly matched opponent, they just created a flute.

Li Lianhua once told him that he and Di Feisheng had known each other for a long time.

At that time, he had just come down from the mountain, and Di Feisheng had not yet become famous. Both of them had made a name for themselves in the world in a very short period of time.

However, one person represents the justice of the world.

One represents the evil side.

But only the parties involved know the facts.

At that time, Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng signed an armistice sect agreement. The content of the agreement was that they would not interfere with each other and not invade each other, and each would develop its own power in the world.

Di Feisheng has no objection to this.

If that old man Shan Gudao hadn't tricked Li Xiangyi at the critical moment, Jin Yuan and the Sigu Clan wouldn't have had a big fight, and they would have fallen apart and killed countless people.

"You, you have angered our Lord Crane God!"

Tao Dabiao had a look of horror on his face and couldn't help but take a step back. Behind him, those rough-looking gangsters also had horrified faces.

"It's over... it's over..."

This performance made Li Lianpeng frown.

Even Di Feisheng, who was drawing a sword from Thunderbolt, frowned.

Could it be that the guy who set up the trick is not the Crane God?
"Shhhhhh!"

At this moment, the sound of breaking through the air roared again.

Li Lianhua, who had not said a word, suddenly shouted in a deep voice:

"careful!"
