Lord of the Desert

Chapter 167
The wind walked above the city, its force was fierce, and it pushed the sea of ​​clouds to relax after a while.

From the gap in the sky, the sun spread out three points, piercing through the doors and windows, changing the world inside the main room.

Hong Jian poured a cup of tea and handed it to Hong Fan to moisten his throat.

Taking this time, the adults either chewed a few pieces of pastries, or wiped the sweat from their foreheads, feeling a bit like a world away.

The same is true of Zheng Zhun who sits at the top.

The city guard tugged at the tight neckline, watched Hong Fanniu drink three cups of tea like chewing peonies, and thought about what the latter had said earlier, the words "destiny bestowed by heaven" popped into his mind.

For some reason, he was suddenly not so worried about Jin Haicheng's safety.

"In the spring water of Shanyue Oasis, I saw a few lurking tracks, which are probably some huge snakes."

"There are about dozens of six-meter-long snakemen. According to the defense, it should be three sacrifices, and the combat power of the threshold of the Hunran Realm."

"The difference in body shape further down is too small, so it's hard to tell the difference."

Hong Fan evened his breathing and reported all the information he got.

Liao Zhenghao got up and bowed solemnly, then went to the side hall to write the military situation, printed it and handed it to his subordinates to send it to the rear immediately.

After a while, he returned to the main hall and was about to pick up the next topic.

"The criminal name process has always been slow, and the matter of the Li family cannot be resolved in a short period of time."

Liao Zhenghao said to Zheng Zhun and Hong Wu.

"Now that the war is imminent, it is necessary for Mrs. Li to do her best, and it is necessary for the two adults to open the door."

The two nodded each other.

Li Heming is dead, and there is no follow-up to the matter of moving his family to Huaiyang Kingdom.

If the Li family wanted to clear their reputation, they had to make some sacrifices in this battle.

Just when the matter was well discussed, a yamen servant came to the door.

He came to find Gongsun Shi.

"Master Wujian, the four Tiqi lords you met earlier today are here again."

The yamen servant saluted and reported urgently.

"What are you doing here, didn't you take them to check the criminals?"

Gongsun asked impatiently.

"That Uncle Shi said that he changed his mind and can't wait for tomorrow, so he is going to take him out of the city now!"

The yamen servant replied.

"He wants to mention someone, so you let him mention it?!"

Gongsun Shi asked.

"How can it be!"

The yamen servant explained.

"The little ones naturally advised them to wait for the adults to go back first, but that Uncle Shi refused to listen and insisted on going to the prison."

"You and Lord Jiancheng are not in the yamen, and they are holding Tiqi tokens and documents. We really can't stop them!"

"Fortunately, Tian Tutou is in prison. After hearing my first report, he locked the prison door and asked me to find you."

"When I left, those four masters were shouting and cursing outside the prison."

"Tian Butou only said that he was interrogating criminals under the orders of the city guard and the city judge, and refused to open the door..."

Hearing this, Gongsun Shi's impatience just eased a little.

Tian Liu is a man who has always done things safely. Since he intends to procrastinate, he will not give up halfway.

As for the four Tiqi martial arts, although they are high in martial arts, they will definitely not dare to openly break doors and rob prisons.

"Master Gongsun, is there something wrong with this?"

Hong Fan listened to the conversation between the two, and he had a general understanding of the matter, so he asked.

"Speaking of which, there shouldn't be any accidents."

Gongsun Shi replied.

"It's nothing more than the arrival of the Tiqi sent by the State Department to escort the two rebels from Fantian Society."

"The documents and tokens are complete, and the handover is what it should be."

He sighed.

"But the four of them are all the elites of the state. The leader, Shi Yuanwei, is nicknamed 'Dian Guang Shi Huo'. He has studied the "Shen Xing Dian" to the state of sympathy between heaven and man, and his combat power should be superior to mine."

"And his three companions are also in the Chaotic Realm."

"At a critical moment, I want them to stay and wait for the snake people to retreat before setting off..."

Gongsun Shi felt a little ashamed.

The house is full of people whose wealth or life is tied to Jinhai, how can they not understand this verse?

"My lord Gongsun's thoughts are public, don't blame yourself."

Chi Zhuiyuan persuaded.

Hong Fan also felt his heart tremble slightly.

"One Heaven-Man Sympathy, three Chaos Realm, is still an elite fighter, at least he can match the three teams of masters."

He looked at Gongsun Shi and asked again.

"Is the rank of Tiqi in the state department so high that Lord Gongsun can't dispatch it?"

"Tiqi's level cannot be said to be high or low."

Gongsun Shi replied.

"Whether it is the red ribbon Tiqi directly under the state department, or the purple ribbon Tiqi directly under Shenjing, there is no official rank."

"Tiqi is an official?"

Hong Fan was a little surprised.

He still remembered that on the day of Ma Jingsha's funeral, Shen Jingti, who was wearing a purple auspicious cloud pattern military uniform, rode on a high horse and looked very powerful.

"Ti Qi is not an official either."

Gongsunshi denied it again.

"Tiqi was created a hundred years ago, and later got an elegant name called 'Emperor Menke'."

"Although I usually accept the command of the various 'divisions' of the Martial Arts Institute, it is actually more like an employment relationship-to complete the assigned tasks and exchange meritorious deeds for rewards from the court."

"As the military inspector of a city, my rank is two levels higher than Siye, and I have the right to assign temporary tasks to Tiqi within my jurisdiction."

"But at this time, they use the excuse of escorting prisoners, so what I say as a mere military supervisor will not work."

Gongsun Shiyu laughed at himself.

After Hong Fan listened quietly, he had a plan in mind.

The Snakeman's attack is approaching, and Jin Haicheng has disadvantages in terms of military strength and high-level combat power.

At this time, if there are a few more penetrating realms, it is a timely help, whether it is public or private, how can he let these people go?

"Thank you, Lord Gongsun, for clarifying the confusion."

Hong Fan nodded and tapped his knuckles on the armrest.

"We really have to find a way to let these four people stay."

"The virtuous nephew plans to come out?"

Gongsun Shi leaned forward and asked.

"The task is to 'escort prisoners', there are only two ways."

Hong Fan raised his head and replied.

"One is to release the responsibility of escort, and the other is to get rid of the detainees."

Gongsun Shi was shocked.

It's not that he couldn't think of this way, but he couldn't do it.

However, thinking of the wolf smoke flying in the north for two consecutive days, the dignified military supervisor couldn't think of a better way.

At this time, Liao Zhenghao spoke out categorically.

"At an extraordinary time, an extraordinary method should be used!"

Gongsun Shi looked at Hong Jian again, who also nodded.

The consensus is established, the only question is who will do it.

In other words, who bears the main risk.

Zheng Zhun straightened his body and looked around, but he did not see any volunteers.

In the end, it was Hong Fan who stood up abruptly.

"Let me do it."

He smiled freely.

"Xiao Twelve's matter can be big or small, but I have some connections in Qizuojian, so I think it's not a big problem."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone thought about it.

Cui Jiayan and Chi Zhuiyuan felt ashamed.

Hong Sheng blamed himself for not being responsible enough.

But no one in the room could have guessed that when Hong Fan went out with a look of wind and cold, he was actually quite happy in his heart.

He will get a complete dragon soul fruit again.

······
Half an hour later, Jin Hai took charge of the martial arts academy.

In front of Zhengya, Shi Yuanwei, who had been shut down, stood with arms folded.

His earlier plan today was to stay overnight in the city and leave tomorrow.

This is not because the four riders are out of energy, but because the mounts need to recover some energy after traveling for days.

However, thinking about the dialogue with Gongsun Shi, Shi Yuanwei was always restless, and finally made up his mind to leave the city today.

It's a pity that the prison guard was obviously absent, but the four of them were blocked outside the prison door by a head arrester.

Tiqi is backed by the Martial Arts Academy, and when he meets any knights or sects, he can frighten the opponent's soul with just a sentence of "what happened to you".

But in the official office, when he met Tian Liu, an official with official status and the support of Shangfeng, he didn't have much prestige to shake.

Outside, Hong Fan and Gongsun Shi entered the gate of Martial Arts Academy.

As soon as they entered the yard from a distance, the two of them had caught a glimpse of the four Tiqi waiting there.

So Hong Fan turned from the side chamber and went straight to the Yahou Prison, while Gongsun Shi met him head-on.
