Chapter 23 Li Xiuning

Lu Miaozi straightened her posture, and joked: "I don't have any rare treasures to enjoy in this comfort zone."

Li Chengyu smiled bitterly: "Young and frivolous, it made the old gentleman laugh."

After saying this, he paused and said, "To be honest, Mr. Yang, I'm here firstly to see your extraordinary talent, and secondly, for the 'Yang Gong's Treasure House'."

"Yang Gong's treasury!" Kou and Xu couldn't help exclaiming when they heard the words, which attracted both Li Chengyu and Lu Miaozi to look at them, and they said: "We heard that mother mentioned that she once went into the treasure house to get it. Some treasures were scattered on the rivers and lakes in order to cause turmoil."

Lu Miaozi looked at Li Chengyu with burning eyes, and asked, "Does little brother Li also intend to compete in the world?"

Li Chengyu shook his head and said: "I'm not interested in the power of the world, but I only have thoughts about those strange and rare treasures. I heard that there is a rare treasure passed down from generation to generation by the evil sect of the Demon Sect, known as the 'evil emperor relic' hidden in Yang Gong’s treasury, so I thought of coming to seek advice from you, the treasury designer.”

But he tasted the sweetness from He's Bi, thinking whether this rare treasure treasured by the devil emperors of the past dynasties also has otherworldly secrets.

It was the first time for Kou and Xu to hear the name of the evil emperor's relic, and they secretly guessed what kind of treasure it was that attracted Li Chengyu's interest.

Lu Miaozi saw the doubts on the faces of the two, and he had some innate affection for them, so he explained to them: "The evil emperor's relic is a secret treasure of the Demon Sect, which is only kept by the Demon Emperor. When the devil emperors of all ages were about to die, they would pour their life essence into it, so this treasure contains the skills of several generations of devil emperors."

Both of them exclaimed after hearing the words: "There are still treasures in the world that can hold power. It's really a miracle of good fortune."

Lu Miaozi nodded, turned to Li Chengyu and asked: "I think brother Li's powerful skills are already the best in the world, even compared to Ning Daoqi, a Taoist disciple, Zhu Yuyan, the Yin Queen of the Demon Sect, and Song Que, the Lingnan Heavenly Sword." It’s not as good as it is, do you still need the Demon Emperor’s skill?”

Li Chengyu smiled and shook his head, but did not explain.

Lu Miaozi took another look at him and sighed, "Okay, it's getting late today, please come over tomorrow night to get the design drawing of the treasury."

Li Chengyu thanked him with his hand. When the three of them saw that he looked tired, they stood up and left, making an appointment to meet again tomorrow night. They left their comfort zone and disappeared into the night.

After parting ways with Kou and Xu, Li Chengyu sneaked back to the guest house and heard the sound of human activities coming from the courtyard next to him. He couldn't help but be surprised that he hadn't seen these neighbors during the day. He didn't take it seriously and twisted the quilt that was kicked away for the Tang brothers and sisters. Corner, went back to his room to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, Li Chengyu nestled in the small courtyard teaching the Tang brothers and sisters to practice martial arts. At noon, a maid in charge came to invite them, saying that the farm owner held a banquet for the guests who came to the ranch recently. Li Chengyu Three people are also in this ranks.

Li Chengyu didn't refuse, he tidied up with the two younger ones, and then went.

The banquet was held at Pegasus Pavilion, where the owner of the farm handles business on weekdays. When Li Chengyu and the others arrived, there were already about ten people standing there, faintly divided into two piles, one of which was familiar faces seen in the ranch. Including the great housekeeper Shang Zhen, the second deacon Liu Zongdao, etc., while the other group of people were very familiar to each other. They were all meeting for the first time, but their demeanor was extraordinary, and they were both civil and military.

When the three of Li Chengyu arrived, the two groups of people all looked over, and the big housekeeper Shang Zhen introduced them to each other. After exchanging names, they realized that it was Li Tang's people, and the leaders at the moment were Li Gang and Dou Wei. , They listened to Shang Zhen's introduction that Li Chengyu also had the surname Li, they couldn't help being stunned, and secretly wondered whether there was such a person among the clansmen of the lord's branch.

The three parties greeted each other, and at this time two young women came out from the hall, both of them were tall and straight, with peerless looks, the one on the left was taller, full of a capable and decisive aura, while the one on the right was dressed more luxuriously, with a temperament Graceful and elegant, it seems quite gentle and quiet.

As soon as these two stunning women came out, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

The woman on the left glanced at the crowd, staring at the three of Li Chengyu for a moment, then smiled lightly and said: "Everyone is here, let's have a feast."

As he spoke, he took the hand of the woman on the right and said, "I have two new pastry masters here. The pastries they made are novel and delicious. Princess Xiuning will try them later."

The second daughter was seated in the primary and secondary seats, Li Xiuning covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Sister Shang said it's so attractive, Xiuning can't wait."

Li Chengyu was also led to sit at the main table, with Shang Zhen, Liu Zongdao and other ranch managers on his left, and Li Gang, Dou Wei and other Li Tang's subordinates sitting on his right.

"You two come here and let my sister have a look." Shang Xiuxun, the owner of the Pegasus Ranch in the main seat, couldn't help seeing the Tang brothers and sisters behind Li Chengyu. Seeing their quick answers, quick-witted and cute, she couldn't help being very happy. She looked at Li Chengyu with a pair of wonderful eyes, and said apologetically, "Mr. I have been busy all the time, and I hope I will forgive you for being rude."

Li Chengyu knew that she was speaking politely, waved his hands and said: "The owner is serious. My brother and sister lost their way halfway. Fortunately, Deacon Liu brought us to the ranch, and the owner's kindness to take us in as guests. I am very grateful."

Shang Xiuxun smiled and said, "Young Master Li, you are so polite." After saying this, he turned to wink at Li Xiuning and said narrowly, "Both of you are named Li, aren't we the same family?"

Hearing this, Li Xiuning sized up Li Chengyu, saw that he was clear and handsome, with a refined temperament, not an ordinary person, so she couldn't help thinking, could it be a relative in the clan who was not successful, and asked curiously: "Brother, is he a child of the Li family in Longxi?"

The rest of the people at the table all showed curiosity.

Li Chengyu shook his head and said: "Princess Xiuning, there is no need to be confused. Although I have the surname of Li, I have no blood relationship with the Li family of Longxi."

Li Xiuning sighed secretly, feeling regretful in his heart, but felt that Li Chengyu was such a good-looking talent, if he was a member of the Li clan, he would definitely be able to be recruited into his subordinates to contribute to the great cause.

At this time, Shang Xiuxun asked: "I heard from Deacon Liu that Mr. Li and his three brothers went to Chengdu to visit their relatives?"

Li Chengyu raised his forehead and said: "That's exactly the case. Originally, my three brothers and sisters sailed westward along the Yangtze River by boat. However, the world was in turmoil and there were disputes in various places. There were many troops fighting in the Yangtze River waterway. Our boat was not allowed to pass. In desperation, we had to turn around." I traveled by land, but I was unfamiliar with the place, so I lost my way in a panic. Fortunately, I met a man in the ranch and was invited by Deacon Liu, so I had a place to stay. I am very grateful."

After speaking, he cupped his fists to thank Liu Zongdao, and Liu Zongdao also cupped his fists in return.
