Lord of the Desert

Chapter 144 Vulture
"To the weak, chaos is an abyss; to the strong, chaos is a ladder!"

Li Heming shouted in a low voice, as if bells and drums were ringing in the room.

"We have horses, knives and guns, and manpower, and we can form a family team at that time..."

"It's not easy for ordinary people to live in Huaiyang now, but we are different!"

Speaking of this, Li Heming's chest rose and fell, his breath was heavy, and a pair of eagle eyes stared at him intently.

"I understand, Patriarch."

Li Licheng lowered his head slightly, and whispered.

"Then why don't you tell others about this, at least a few brothers from the Hunran Realm..."

He was half-spoken, but was suddenly interrupted.

"I am the patriarch, and you are my deputy."

Li Heming shouted in a low voice.

"We can't bear this matter, who can bear it?!"

"There must be extraordinary people in the world, and then there will be extraordinary things; there will be extraordinary things, and then there will be extraordinary achievements."

"If the secret is not secret, the disaster depends on the door!"

A few words came out like a cannonball, like a thunderbolt, which made Li Licheng's face pale.

"I know I know……"

He clenched the armrests with both hands and pressed himself firmly against the back of the chair.

"I just always think of the 10 people living in this city, and the life debts left by the clan in the north..."

If the voice is difficult, you will die immediately.

Silence enveloped the study.

Li Heming's stern look finally faded away.

After a long time, he spoke again.

"The Li family of Jinhai is the leader of Jinhai, but he is the last of the family in the world."

"We only have third-grade exercises in our destiny, and we have no destiny with Yuanci, heaven and man for generations."

"Licheng, you and I are going against our fate, there will be a price for going against our fate!"

He spoke slowly, without showing any softness on his face from beginning to end.

"People make excuses for themselves in order to live."

"We just cook raw rice into rice."

"Wait next year, wait until the year after, when the Li family has taken root in Huaiyang, and when the disciples begin to practice the Jie Niu Dian, which is a hundred times better than Ruyi Jin..."

"We don't need to explain it when the time comes, they will naturally forget about it."

Li Licheng had nothing to say and could only nod his head messily.

He flung open the door and stumbled out.

In the quiet room, Li Heming was left alone sitting on the head.

He picked up the teacup that had cooled down a long time ago, and brought it to his mouth, but his hands were shaking.

The tea spilled out, soaking the robe.

Li Heming didn't move for a long time, but silently struggled with his palm, and finally stabilized after a long while.

The tea ripples slowed down.

The surface of the water is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the human face.

His eyes were red and his lips were chapped.

The blue veins on the forehead are knotted and protruding, like chapped human skin.

"Heh, the Whooping Crane takes off its feathers, so it turns out to be a vulture..."

He chuckled softly and swallowed the tea raw in one gulp.

······
The second day of March.

Qingming is approaching.

In Jinhai City, the sun is beautiful and the wind is peaceful, and everything is visible.

And Taishan outside the city is full of sprouting vegetation, a scene of vigorous vitality and all things competing to grow.

On the only terrace on the top floor of Jinfeng Building, a small round table was specially added today.

There were four people sitting at the table, namely Hong Fan, Gao Junxia, ​​Cui Yutang, and Li Xingfa.

"Speaking of which, I first noticed these two in Hongduo Mountain."

Hong Fan chewed his pig's tongue and said.

"One with red phoenix eyebrows and one with skin as white as jade. When attacking the mountain, he followed your eldest son to fight bravely. His Qi sword is extremely sharp."

"Not only is he good-looking, but he also has a heroic temperament."

"I'm surprised, why haven't I seen such an outstanding character in the past so many years?"

He toasted and walked around.

"It's normal that you don't know these two young master Hong."

Li Xing handed out the empty cup and replied enthusiastically.

"They belong to the fourth team. They were not from Jinhai in the first place. They probably joined Wudangqi a year ago."

"Both of them were refugees. They said that they worked with my second uncle in Xijing seven or eight years ago. Later, they got his favor and passed on the wishful energy."

"Later, some members of the family were going to Xijing, and these two were transferred back. They are quite valued by the family."

Hong Fan nodded when he heard this - Li Xingfa's second uncle was Li Chengwang who was said to have lost money in a bet.

"That's no wonder."

"I don't know what their names are. I will get to know each other when I have a chance in the future."

he said casually.

"The two are brothers, both surnamed Xiao."

Li Xingfa replied.

"Imperial surname, isn't that courageous?"

Hong Fan laughed.

"How can it be, it's the Xiao of the 'unworthy offspring'."

Li Xingfa interjected, only realizing the inappropriate words as soon as the words came out of his mouth.

But for some reason, Hong Fan slapped his thigh with a smile.

"Having the opportunity to get to know Young Master Hong is naturally their chance."

Li Xingfa continued.

"These two people are not weak in martial arts. As for their appearance, they can't keep up with Hong Shaoyi."

"But there is one thing that really stands out between them, and that is that they spend money generously."

"It's not just about treating guests to dinner and living expenses, the brothers also have regular friends in Yanliu Lane..."

"It's hard to have the arrogance of these two if you come from a poor background!"

Several people talked and drank several rounds of wine.

Then Cui Yutang mentioned the Li family who had been making a lot of noise in the past two days.

"It happened quite suddenly anyway."

Li Xingfa tore his collar open and complained.

"As the old saying goes, people who leave their hometowns are cheap, and the Li family of Jinhai left Jinhai, how can they have the current glory?"

"And the place to move to is Hongbo City in Huaiyang Kingdom."

"You also know what Huaiyang has been like in the past two years. Every city and county has set up tax cards, and even caravans can't get through!"

He couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"My wife has been arguing with me for the past few days. My father-in-law asked me to drink, and asked me to come forward to persuade me."

"But how can I, a junior, persuade me?"

Li Xingfa suffocated the wine in one gulp, his brows and eyes twisted into a ball.

"You also know that Mr. He's majesty in our clan is that he is a serious family monarch!"

"When I saw him, my legs were shaking, how could I speak?"

Seeing his friend sad, Cui Yutang didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to pour wine for him.

"I've heard about it too."

Hong Fan said.

"However, there are hundreds of people in the Li family, and such a big matter as relocation cannot be settled by just a few heads of the family."

"After all, your ancestral graves are all in Jinhai. If you suddenly want to go south, you have to give an explanation, right?"

"Of course there are arguments."

Li Xingfa replied.

"The Huaiyang Kingdom has no border with other races. The insects in the southwest are separated by Shengzhou, and the snake people in the northwest are blocked by Liangzhou."

"So if we move over there, our Li family won't have to spend time with the snake people anymore."

"This is number one."

He toasted Hong Fan and continued.

"The second one is that Huaiyang Kingdom is about to come to Jitai."

"In the past two years, the local rich families have moved out one after another, and a lot of properties, houses, and fields have been vacated, and the prices are very low."

"Recently, the court is also concerned about King Huaiyang's evil deeds. It is said that the Ministry of Rites has also sent people there."

"At this time, take over in the past, and if the general trend reverses, you can make a lot of money."

As Li Xingfa said, he couldn't help but sneered.

"There is also a third point. Huaiyang Kingdom is the main road of transportation, guarding the throat of the north-south commercial road."

"If we 'take advantage of the situation' and successfully get stuck in the position, we will have inexhaustible food in the future."

After he finished speaking, he snorted and leaned back heavily on the back of the chair.
