Lord of the Desert

Chapter 222
"To make a long story short, please remember well."

Jian Siyuan said quickly and clearly.

"One day there was a dangerous place on Qifeng Mountain. There was a cliff village, and there was a group of bandits entrenched. The leader was named Niu Huagu."

"This person's nickname is 'Bone Chewing', and he ranks No. 540 and No. [-] on the evil list. The skill he practices is called "Tie Xi Yan", which ranks first among the third-rank martial arts."

"Cheowing Bone originally occupied the mountain in Huaiyang State as the king, but this year he suddenly went north, brutally and subdued four gangs of bandits around Lezhang County, and gathered six hundred bandits in a short period of time - two of them in the Hunranjing, who penetrated no more than 20 people."

Hong Fan was surprised when he heard this.

Bandits do not do production, but rely on robbery for food and drink, and the scale is generally not very large.

Similar to Hai Fei who dominates an area, there are only [-] people in Hongduo Mountain, and there are nearly a hundred of them who are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Seeing Hong Fan's expression, Jian Siyuan guessed what he was thinking.

"Qifeng Mountain can't support so many bandits, but it is also because of this that the place is constantly being harassed."

"This time, the Qifeng bandit suppression will be played by Lezhang county guard, and the captain will lead the army."

"Counting the first team of five people, there should be 800 people going up the mountain, of which there are seven from Hunranjing and 32 from Tongtong."

"The eight hundred soldiers, most of them are soldiers and half of them are brave, they can be called elites; while the bandits are all mobs suppressed by the fierce force of chewing bones, they can't stand the storm."

When he said this in one breath, he paused slightly.

Hong Fan nodded, indicating that he understood.

On paper, the offense has a great advantage.

The combat strength of the heaven-human sympathetic warriors varies from person to person, but overall it is still at the level of strength.

Take Hong Fan's top-level combat power in the Chaos Realm as an example, one-on-one can delay, and two-on-one can win; if it is Bai Jiaci's weaker combat power, four-five-on-one is definitely enough.

As far as he knows, Master Lu Yun is already in the Xiaowulou Realm (the peak of Hunran), and he is certainly not a weak person who has practiced "Wuxiang Hunyuan Dian".

"I thought there would be no twists and turns in this matter."

Jian Siyuan sighed and continued.

"It's just that I didn't expect that the bone chewing was blocked in the village, and I could secretly call someone."

"Jiao Sansi, nicknamed 'biting blood', practiced the third grade "Chi Lian Zhang", which is also a cultivation base of sympathy between heaven and man."

"Under the First World War, the first team was unexpected. Not only did they fail to break through the stronghold, they also allowed Yuan Xuesong to be captured by Chew Bones."

When Hong Fan heard this, he fully understood the urgency of the matter.

"What do you need me to do?"

he asked.

"You need to arrive as quickly as possible."

Zhou Haoran, who had been anxious for a long time, stood up and replied.

"You take my token and go to Mount Qifeng for support."

"If Master Lu Yun has not lost his mind, please listen to his orders temporarily."

"If he desperately wants to rescue people, you can take over the command of the first team with a token, and then wait for reinforcements..."

Zhou Haoran handed over the business token that he carried close to him, and bowed deeply.

After half an hour.

Hong Fan gathered the sand as his wings, lifted into the sky under the amazed gaze of the small half of the Martial Arts Academy, and flew southward in the wind.

Within half an hour, the third team led by Shi Yuanwei will also set off with the red flag, and is expected to arrive at Qifeng Mountain on June 21, where they will join Lu Fan and the two of them.

······
An hour and a half later, eight hundred miles away.

The sun's wheel is half covered with forests and seas, dyeing the sky and the earth a rose color.

The strange peaks are like pillars, and they rise like scales in the evening glow.

At the foot of the mountain, the military barracks was cooking, and there was a lot of noise.

Outside Lu Yunshi's independent camp, he looked at the rock wall in the middle of the mountain and the wooden village lying on it.

Yesterday's first battle was unfavorable, and morale was damaged, which has not yet fully recovered.

The request passed down by Chew Gu this morning is very simple.

Retreat troops down the mountain, release people on the mountain.

It's a pity that Lu Yunshi is not a three-year-old child, so he cannot and is not qualified to agree to such a request.

But he didn't want to wait either.

Just before that, he and Yan Yulin managed to persuade the leading captain to climb the mountain and fight again after nightfall—the soldiers pretended to attack the front, and the five Hunranjing took the opportunity to sneak into the village from under the cliff to rescue the captives.

The aroma of hot dishes wafted over.

Yan Yulin called from the gate of the camp.

Lu Yunshi returned to the account silently, and was half full after eating, not knowing how it tasted in his mouth.

The sky turned completely dark.

No one lit candles, only the torches outside cast some light and shadow into the tent, swaying non-stop.

"Young Xia Lu."

A low voice came from outside.

The four Tiqi all recognized this voice, and it belonged to one of the two local tycoons who participated in the battle, named Cheng Guangjian.

"Master Cheng, please come in."

Lu Yunshi quickly replied.

The people outside got the word, lifted the tent and entered.

He has a strong figure, with a two-handed sword on his back, hairless on the top of his head, but lush on the side of his skull.

Cheng Guangjian was flattered to see the four riders standing up to greet him—the arrogance of Lu Yunshi and the five had left a deep impression on him.

"Lu Shaoxia, Cheng is here because he has something to say."

He cupped his fists and saluted, and said in a deep voice.

"Master Cheng has changed his mind?"

Lu Yunshi's heart sank and his breathing became chaotic.

"Since you have accepted the things and promised Lu Shaoxia, how can you make a slip of the tongue?"

Cheng Guangjian said seriously.

"It's just that Mr. Cheng and Captain Mo have thought over and over again, and both feel that tonight's facts are unlikely to come true..."

As he spoke, he saw that the faces of the Tiqi remained unchanged, and they stopped circling around.

"Why don't we think long-term?"

"Master Cheng, regardless of success or failure in this matter, I must do it!"

Lu Yunshi shook his head, staring at the fire outside the tent, his eyes were as firm as iron.

"The best war horses are driven to the limit, and they can only travel three hundred miles a day."

"The news was sent back by carrier pigeon last night, so the reinforcements from the state department will take three days at the earliest."

"In just one day, we have received the cedar fingers..."

When he said this, his voice trembled suddenly.

Cheng Guangjian seemed to hear the smell of blood.

"It's only a day."

Master Lu Yun took a deep breath.

"What will I receive tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?"

"Sit down the mountain and wait until the brother's body is collected. Of course, everything will be perfect, but I can't explain it here!"

He punched him in the left chest.

Cheng Guangjian sighed and nodded.

"I understand what Lu Shaoxia means."

He hesitated, and added another sentence.

"To be honest, there are seniors and juniors in Cheng, and he absolutely doesn't want to be trapped here; if the situation is dangerous, I'm afraid I will leave without a fight."

Hearing this, Master Lu Yun smiled instead of anger.

"Master Cheng said this at this time, it can be said to be sincere, and I appreciate it."

"When the time comes, please take care of yourself."

Cheng Guangjian left.

No one spoke in the tent for a while.

After a while, Lu Yunshi breathed evenly before speaking again.

"Brothers, I know very well in my heart that this trip is dangerous and loses more than wins."

He glanced at the three teammates in turn.

"Maybe Xuesong will die here in Woya Village, and maybe we will die here too."

"Maybe he gave his life for nothing, maybe he could replace one of the bone-chewing and blood-biting..."

"Being with me on the road to Huangquan, will you regret it?"

Master Lu Yun asked.

"not regret."

The three of them returned with one voice.

Lu Yunshi nodded, and finally exhaled the turbid air in his chest, with a smile on his face.

"When a man is alive, how can there be so many victorious and undefeated?"

He stepped out of the account and looked at the lonely peak in the distance.

"No regrets, that's enough."

PS: I took medicine and slept well yesterday, and today I have been sorting out the follow-up outline. Although the output of the main text is not much, I am not lazy. Now I am going to continue to take medicine and sleep. It is important to adjust the schedule first. Good night, everyone.
