Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

After the two finished talking, Butler Tian went downstairs to carry out Lao Yang's arrangement, while Lao Yang sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, the two ladies came down from upstairs after changing their clothes, and when they saw Lao Yang sitting on the sofa thinking about something, they gathered around him.

Old Yang heard the footsteps and knew that the two ladies were coming, so he said, "The sand table of our manor is ready. Let's go take a look at it later to confirm the style and details. Once the shape is OK, we will start the construction. It is estimated to take about a year to build."

Haitang was not interested and said directly: "I will listen to my husband. I don't understand it either. I will move in directly after it is built."

Rose also said softly: "Yes, husband, you make the decision, and we will give you suggestions on the decoration style when the time comes!"

Lao Yang did not insist and said, "Okay, I'll make the decision today and have the construction company start construction as soon as possible so that we can move in as soon as possible."

"Another thing is that there's news from the Changle Gang that Jun Lai is in danger in Nanyang and can't come back for the time being. I plan to go there in a couple of days to sort out the matter and bring Jun Lai back. The Spring Festival is coming soon and I can't let him spend the New Year away. He didn't even attend our wedding."

The two ladies also wanted to teach Jun a lesson. Rose continued, "Then I'll have to trouble you, husband, to bring that kid back. Otherwise, he'll die outside and no one will care. After all, this is not our territory. We don't know the situation and can only rely on guesswork! Who knows if it's a trap, waiting for our people to jump in!"

Old Yang also agreed with Rose's statement. Generally speaking, unless there is a major regime change, few local generals will change the original supply channels. It is possible that this is really a trap set by other gangs or the mastermind behind the scenes. I guess it is possible that they are just trying to lure me over. After all, there is a very high possibility that Deng Junlai will be caught in Nanyang. If the other party sent out the army, Deng Junlai would have been caught long ago!

But it didn't matter, for Lao Yang the result was the same. It took about two or three days to take a boat from Xiangjiang to Nanyang, so Lao Yang decided to set off on February 1st.

"Haitang, please make sure to contact the Fang family to see if they have enough food on hand. We can also import food from Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States, and sell it back to the mainland at a low price as a welfare for the people during the New Year."

Haitang agreed immediately. Lao Yang turned to Meigui and said, "Some intelligence personnel will begin to provide us with information on patrol routes of various police stations and coast guards in Hong Kong in the near future. You should find some people to contact us and respond promptly. We can transport food and other supplies directly from Yuen Long Wharf to the mainland by ship. There will be someone in charge there. A temporary port has been built to receive the items we smuggle over."

Rose asked hurriedly, "Husband, is this too risky? Should we stop doing this business?"

Lao Yang refused: "It doesn't matter, as long as we avoid the coast guard, it doesn't matter if we are found out later. As long as we don't get caught on the spot, there is a way to solve it!"

Rose continued, "Okay, husband. I will set up a special department to receive the messages."

Old Yang said to Rose in a relaxed manner, "Don't be stingy with money. Buy a set of advanced wireless communication equipment from developed countries such as Britain and the United States and set it up on the roof of our building. It would be best if it could cover the entire Hong Kong River and establish a paging system. Our key personnel will be equipped with equipment for the corresponding channels, and there must be a set of special codes for communication. Once our ship enters the harbor, someone will wear an intercom device to contact in time to avoid risks. Don't be stingy with money. Invite professional wireless talents from Europe and the United States to encrypt our channels. After the encryption, if it is a foreigner, let him shut up! The Chinese will join Changle and specialize in wireless research in the future."

Rose said happily: "My husband is very thoughtful. I will go to the channel to ask about purchasing a few sets of equipment later."

Lao Yang asked the two men, "Do you two have any questions? Do you have anything to arrange? If not, let's go and rest first and start tomorrow."

The two girls shook their heads and said to Lao Yang, "It's nothing. We just came back and don't know the situation. We will go to various companies tomorrow."

Lao Yang clapped his hands and said, "Okay, we are tired after playing for half a month. Let's go and have a rest!"

The two women went upstairs again, holding each other's arms. Old Yang left the living room and went to the yard to find housekeeper Tian to ask where the real scene sand table was. Housekeeper Tian led Old Yang to a corner of the garage, where there was a table with a finished sand table on it, covered with a glass cover, so that the real scene layout inside could be clearly seen.

Old Yang studied it for a while and said to Butler Tian, ​​"The overall size is about the same. There are three courtyards, front, middle and back. The back courtyard should be bigger, the middle courtyard should be smaller, and the front courtyard should be bigger. We should build a martial arts training ground in the front courtyard. There should be more wing rooms and seats, and they should be made into dormitories. The houses in the front and middle courtyards should be built with two floors, so that our male guards and servants can live in the front courtyard, and guests can live in the middle courtyard. All the courtyards and attics in the backyard should be converted into 4-story buildings. In the future, family members will live in the backyard, and female guards and servants will live in the southwest building. A special door should be opened on the east wall of the backyard, guarded by female guards, and special cars can drive in."

"Build an underground garage under the front courtyard, with the entrance in the front yard. Also build a basement under the backyard garden. The pool will be made of high-strength one-way glass, so you can see the pool water and the starry sky from below. Also, the courtyard wall needs to be thickened, with a shooting hole built on each corner of the wall. Install anti-theft nets and high-voltage isolation walls on the outside of the wall. Forget it, we won't build the high-voltage isolation wall because it will be dangerous if we have children in the future."

"What the master said is right," Butler Tian wrote down everything in the notebook.

Old Yang looked at the sand table and continued, "The stream water will be introduced into the lake outside the manor, and a water pump will be built under the stream wall to make the stream water flow. This rockery plus a water pump will be made into a mountain stream. A row of small fountains will also be built on the east wall."

"We will pull a power line from the power company for the entire manor, build a substation in the southeast corner of the manor, and then connect it to each courtyard. Remember to secretly bury a cable from the power company and connect it to the substation. The wires are one bright and one dark to prevent malicious damage by others."

"Okay, sir, I'll make a note of that!"

Old Yang turned around and said to Steward Tian, ​​"Let's do this for now. Let them produce a set of drawings and start preparations. Let's start work as soon as possible!"

As Lao Yang walked out, he said to Butler Tian, ​​"Lao Tian, ​​if it's convenient, let your wife be the supervisor of the inner house. If it's not convenient, go find me a female supervisor to manage the inner house."

Old Tian replied, "I'll listen to the master. I'll notify her to come over recently. She's been abroad with the children before, and she's not popular with the children anymore. It's a good time for her to come back. My husband and I will help the master manage the manor."

Old Yang said to Butler Tian sympathetically, "Old Tian, ​​I'm telling you this out of kindness, don't have any other ideas. It's more dangerous abroad than here. If nothing works, you can change the child's name and secretly return to Hong Kong. We'll arrange for him to be a manager in our company. It's safer to keep him by your side! In the future, we'll organize some employees to visit our home, and you can see the child. You can't see him abroad, and you won't know what happened, so you can't help! Think about it."

Housekeeper Tian said directly: "I agree with the master's plan. When my wife comes back, I will discuss with her and let the child come back secretly!"

Old Yang said to Old Tian with great satisfaction: "When the child comes back, let him go to East Continent Company to manage logistics! See if he can be trained to be your successor. His annual salary will be the same as Wu Wenqi's!"

"Thank you, Master. I am sorry for causing you trouble!" Butler Tian bowed and said, "I will definitely teach the child well and make him loyal to you in the future!"

Old Yang helped housekeeper Tian and said, "You don't have to feel pressured. It doesn't matter if the child is not suitable to be a housekeeper. Not everyone can be a good housekeeper. If you force the child, you may push the child in the opposite direction. Just let it go. Just guide him secretly and don't force it too much!"

Butler Tian immediately responded: "Just do as the master says!"

Old Yang and Butler Tian returned to the living room. Old Yang whispered to Butler Tian, ​​"I will go to Southeast Asia on February 2st. You can secretly find out which ships are leaving. Bring Deng Junlai back and collect information about the warlord. Find out where the latest news came from! Also, don't let anyone know that I am going to Southeast Asia. I suspect someone is setting up a trap to wait for me to go."

Butler Tian immediately said softly: "I will pay attention!"

Butler Tian left the living room, and Lao Yang looked at the time and it was already 8 o'clock in the evening. Lao Yang thought about it and decided that he had nothing to do outside, so he went upstairs to rest with Haitang.

The next day, Lao Yang got up to exercise and saw you and a few other security guards were also exercising.

Lao Yang walked up to the guards and said, "You guys try to attack me!"

Several guards bowed and said, "Master, how can that be possible? Fists and feet have no eyes, and we can't do both. I hope you won't embarrass us!"

Old Yang laughed loudly and said to the others, "It seems that you guys underestimate your master! Go ahead and do it. As long as you can injure me, your wages will be doubled!"

Several people's eyes lit up immediately and nodded, and three people stood out. At first glance, these three people should be practicing boxing. Their arms were strong and powerful, and they made crackling sounds when they shook.

The three of them clasped their fists and bowed, saying, "Excuse me! Master, we are going to take action."

Old Yang shouted, "Come on! Let me see what you can do!"

Then the three of them quickly opened their stances and attacked Lao Yang together. The three of them had good boxing skills, but there were some major flaws in their coordination.

Lao Yang easily unloaded the three people's strength, swinging back and forth between the three people, making it impossible for the three people to catch Lao Yang's body and launch an effective attack on Lao Yang. After more than ten moves, Lao Yang knew the strength of the three people, and then hit the three people's shoulders. The three people immediately lost their fighting power and their arms fell down. The three people looked at Lao Yang in surprise and retreated one after another. The few people watching were also very amazed by Lao Yang's kung fu.

When Lao Yang attacked, there was almost an afterimage. Before these people could observe Lao Yang's skills clearly, three of them were defeated!

Old Yang looked at the remaining guards and said, "Well, the rest of you come together and I'll test your skills."

The remaining guards, about 10 in number, immediately came forward to surround Lao Yang, and one of them said, "Master, let's take action!"

Then several people quickly attacked Lao Yang, some attacked from the top, some attacked from the bottom, some kicked directly at the waist, everyone used their own special skills. Lao Yang quickly looked for the blind spot of the attack, and just swayed left and right to avoid everyone's first attack. When everyone withdrew their fists and legs, Lao Yang quickly took a step to the left, went around behind one person and jumped out of the encirclement, then continued to turn right, and came to the left side of the guard before he could react, and quickly slapped him on the shoulder and knocked him out, flying a full three meters away and falling to the ground.

Although the others were shocked by Lao Yang's strength, they still attacked him. Lao Yang was very agile and did not allow the nine people to surround him. He quickly beat several people away. Everyone got up without suffering any injuries.

The gap is too big! Several people came back and bowed to Lao Yang and said, "Thank you for showing mercy, sir!"

The old lady commented: "You guys are all good at martial arts, but your coordination is too poor. You can't effectively prevent your opponent from dodging, nor can you attack together. In the future, get closer and practice coordination skills to show the advantage of having more people."

The guards replied one after another: "Yes, sir, we will definitely work hard to practice the combined attack technique."

Lao Yang is very satisfied with the attitudes of several people. Learning martial arts requires a humble attitude, paying tribute to the strong and full of admiration for the strong. Striving to become a strong person is a spirit of self-improvement!

Lao Yang walked to the side and began to practice military boxing and fighting techniques. These are direct and effective ways of attack, striving to defeat the enemy with one move! With Lao Yang's current physical fitness, any move can exert great power. Lao Yang's exercise is just to increase the flexibility and coordination of his body, and to quickly attack and eliminate the opponent at the moment of finding a flaw. The guards around looked at Lao Yang's boxing skills and knew that this was a killing skill, which was different from their martial arts routines.

No one dared to underestimate Lao Yang's strength, because Lao Yang had proved that none of them were his opponents. After the fight, Lao Yang waved to the others and returned to the villa. Some people began to discuss the master's strength in a low voice. They didn't know which sect the master was from, but he was so strong. It seemed that he didn't use his full strength when fighting with them. They didn't know if the master had already cultivated the legendary internal strength.

With the help of several people, it soon spread in the Hong Kong martial arts circle that the leader of the Changle Gang was a martial arts master. This news was confirmed by many sects. After all, everyone knew what level of martial arts Lao Yang had in guarding the courtyard, so the legend of Lao Yang in the martial arts world became more and more widespread and legendary.

When Lao Yang returned to the living room, the two women were already waiting for him to have breakfast together. After breakfast, the three of them had a brief discussion and then went out. The two women went to the gang and the company to find out the situation and convey Lao Yang's intentions.

Lao Yang went to the porcelain workshop and prepared to absorb energy with all his strength in the next two days. Lao Yang quickly arrived at the porcelain workshop, then turned on the kiln for preheating, called the personnel in charge of firing the kiln and told them to start firing the kiln with all their strength today, and to immediately notify Changle to bring coal if there was not enough coal. So the staff immediately started firing the kiln according to Lao Yang's request. Lao Yang secretly entered the kiln through the secret door, and soon the temperature in the kiln continued to rise to a maximum temperature of about 1400 degrees.

Under the extremely high temperature, the air burning in the furnace became distorted. Lao Yang stood on the platform in the furnace and began to absorb the heat rising from all around. A large amount of heat energy coming near the platform would be absorbed by Lao Yang, and only a small amount of smoke rose from around the platform.

The agents who were monitoring Lao Yang saw Lao Yang enter the porcelain workshop and never come out. In the afternoon, they saw a coal company delivering a large amount of coal to the workshop in trucks. This continued until the afternoon of the next day. At around 8 pm, when the kiln slowly went out, Lao Yang left the kiln through a secret passage.

Old Yang ordered the furnace workers to inspect the kiln, remove all the carbon deposits, and then fill the kiln with coal for use. Then Old Yang drove his car away from the porcelain workshop and returned to the villa.

As soon as Lao Yang left, Suoli received the news that Lao Yang had stayed in the porcelain workshop for two days and had not left. He did not know what he was doing. So he was very interested in this porcelain kiln and planned to send someone to secretly check if there was anything special after Lao Yang left.
