Lord of the Desert

Chapter 229
Hong Qi felt the bite tighten in his mouth, and stopped immediately.

"This is, Brother Hong?"

Hong Fan looked around and immediately recognized the person.

"Why such a coincidence?"

He rolled over and dismounted, with an unstoppable smile on his face.

"I also thought I had lost my sight!"

Chi Xinchi replied, striding downhill.

Compared to half a year ago, his demeanor was much calmer, but the straightforwardness in his brows and eyes remained the same.

"This time I led a team from Jinhai to Hongyi, and brought some furs and cistanche..."

As Chi Xinchi said, he looked carefully at the bright red military uniform on Hong Fan's body, and couldn't help but praise him.

"This is Tiqi's silk dress, right? Big red is a precious color, it really suits you!"

He slapped Hong Fan hard on the arm.

As soon as it touched, the latter felt a slight difference in strength.

"Have you entered the Chaotic Realm?"

Hong Fan asked.

"Yes, it happened in May, so this time I can lead the team alone."

Chi Xin smiled back.

"Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign country is a rare happy event; we are about to build a meal, if you don't dislike it, why don't you leave with some tea and rice?"

he asked.

Hong Fan looked at the others inquiringly.

Since no one brushed his meaning.

The main tent of Chi's caravan is Si'a style, which looks like a palace - there are five ridges on the top and four slopes.

Many horizontal and vertical log poles are firmly connected by three- and four-legged copper tent structures, supporting a space of more than [-] square meters.

The fragrant agarwood is placed in the corner, and the smoke rises to drive away mosquitoes and flies.

At the entrance of the tent, the silk curtains used in summer are light and thin, revealing a third of the sunlight.

Everyone sat cross-legged beside the long desk.

"Our trip is to Qifeng Mountain to suppress bandits."

Hong Fan took a sip of tea and said.

"Now that things are settled, let's return to Xijing."

"Speaking of which, the bandit headed by it is named Chew Bone, and it's on the evil list. Brother Hong, have you ever heard of it?"

"So it was bone chewing? His name is said to be old among my merchants."

Chi Xinchi served tea to everyone with his own hands, and said.

"He was entrenched in Yongnian City of Huaiyang country earlier, and when the business road to the south was still smooth in two or three years, it was necessary to prepare a road money for him when crossing the road."

"But I didn't expect that such a notorious villain would fall into your hands this time!"

He praised and sighed again.

"It's a pity that the Huaiyang Kingdom is now allowed to enter but not allowed to leave. It has become like that. Our trip will only stop at Hongyi City."

Just as the tent was silent, footsteps came from outside.

The curtain at the door was lifted, and two young men and women entered.

"Brother, do you have a guest?"

A gentle and timid female voice asked in surprise.

Hong Fan turned his head to look and found that he recognized both of them.

"Is it Yiyue and Xinmu?"

Chi Yiyue is Chi Xinchi's biological sister, and Chi Xinmu is his cousin.

"So it's Second Young Master?!"

Chi Xinmu was overwhelmed with surprise, and hurriedly saluted.

Chi Yiyue also followed Wanfu.

"It happened that Fan Ge'er was passing by with his colleagues. You and I have known each other for a long time, so we also came to sit."

Chi Xinchi greeted.

As soon as the two sat down, there was something strange about each of them.

Chi Xinmu's movements were slightly dissonant, as if he was in pain.

Chi Yiyue had just washed her face, there were still drops of water on her temples, her smile was forced, her eyes were still red and swollen.

Obviously just cried.

"What's going on here?"

Hong Fan asked.

There was a moment of dullness in the tent.

"A little thing, nothing."

Chi Xinchi forced a smile.

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Hong Fan had no intention of going into details.

But at this time, Chi Xinmu, who was already frustrated, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"It's okay, it's just being bullied!"

"In front of the second young master, what can't you say?"

He said in a low voice, but everyone in the tent could hear him clearly.

"Why were you bullied? Tell me."

Hong Fan looked at him.

"Just half an hour ago, the guests in the town were safe."

Chi Xinmu said, clenching her fists.

"Originally, we had agreed with the shopkeeper, and we had already stopped to unload the horses, but the caravan from the Meng family in Huaiye City arrived again."

"Both have too many chariots and horses, and there is not enough space in the inn, so there is a conflict."

"The reason is clear."

"But the Meng family is being aggressive and wants us to give way."

"In the end, we couldn't be more popular, so we fought with them..."

He glanced at Chi Xinchi and lowered his voice.

"In short, I am not an opponent, and the elder brother is unwilling to make a move, so we can only camp outside the town."

Hong Fan nodded slightly, expressing understanding.

The Meng family's name in Huaiye City is very famous in Liangzhou, and its momentum is not inferior to that of the Tongguang Palace family in its heyday.

Last year in the Jiaotong Hall, the living qi pill that Hong Fan had been looking for but failed to get was produced by this family.

"I see, why is Yiyue crying?"

Hong Fan asked again.

Chi Xinchi was a little embarrassed when he heard that.

"The men from the Meng family gained power, so they said a few frivolous words."

He replied shakily.

"Actually, there is no chaos in their team. If I make a move, I am sure."

Speaking of this, Chi Xin's face flushed with blood.

But in the end it turned to gloom.

"It's just that our clan is in decline now. Before I came out, the elders repeatedly asked me to be patient..."

"Anyway, I'm useless as an elder brother, I can't protect her."

Chi Yiyue shook her head repeatedly when she heard the words, and couldn't help crying again.

There was a sound of "Du" in the tent.

It was Hong Fan who pressed the corner of his mouth and tapped the long case with his knuckles.

Seeing this, Master Lu Yun suddenly asked a question.

"Brother Hong Fan, this girl Yiyue seems to be very close to you?"

Since the acquaintance, it was the first time that he saw Hong Fan showing obvious anger.

The latter didn't answer right away, but looked at Chi Xinchi first.

"Brother Hong, my Uncle Pan left for Jinhai seven days ago, have you ever heard of it?"

Hong Fan asked.

Chi Xinchi shook his head.

Seven days ago, the Chijia caravan left Jinhai.

But he knew what the other party was asking.

"The matter of Brother Xie and Yiyue has been settled, and after that, it will be nothing more than a step-by-step procedure."

Chi Xinchi explained.

"That's why she clamored to come out with me to see the world this time."

Chi Yiyue blushed.

"I understand."

Hong Fan nodded and turned to Lu Yunshi.

"Brother Lu, this Yiyue girl is my half-sister-in-law."

Chi Yiyue let out an "ah" when she heard the words, her chin retracted to her chest, her round face instantly stopped the tears and forgot the grievance.

"It's counted."

Master Lu Yun replied three words, like cutting three swords.

He drank the tea in one gulp and settled down on the case.

"Excuse me for a moment."

After the words fell, the five members of the first team got up and left the tent together.

"This is?"

Chi Xinchi was a little dazed.

He was somewhat aware of what Lu Yunshi and the others were going to do, but he wasn't quite sure.

The Meng family in Huaiye has one family and three innate talents, and they are the tyrants of a city.

Jin Haichi's family is the tallest, but the next generation is obviously unable to keep up with the pace of Hong's family.

"Brother Chi, is it inappropriate to worry?"

Shi Yuanwei blew on the hot tea and asked.

"There are some."

Chi Xinchi admitted it honestly.

"It's really not appropriate for the first team to do things."

Shi Yuanwei immediately said to his teammates.

"Since that's the case, are you going to see it too?"

At that moment, three more Tiqi lifted their tents and came out.

"This, I..."

Chi Xinchi looked at Hong Fan.

His first thought before was apprehension, but now his second thought was "how can you cut a chicken with a bull's knife".

Chishouti started riding in the Hunran Realm, even at the border of the Golden Sea, it is well known.

"Don't worry, Brother Hong."

Hong Fan smiled back.

"I am now a disciple of the Son of Heaven, and I am in charge of injustice in the world."

"Drink tea!"

He raised his glass.

Chi Xinchi had no choice but to accompany her, drank it all in one gulp, and then grinned.

As a martial artist in the Chaotic Realm, he actually felt that the tea in the cup was a little hot.

PS: I took a sleeping pill last night and slept until after ten o'clock in the morning, feeling fine.

It's just weird to be completely out of writing today.

When I walk, live, sit, and lie down, I often think about writing—thinking about walking, thinking about going out to eat, and thinking about going to bed.

Only when the thread is full when playing games, can the mind be free for a while.

But when I got up today, I suddenly got out of the story—as if the Lord of the Desert was not my book, Hong Fan and the others all moved from my mind.

In the afternoon, I was trying to reload the emptied information back into the memory.

It's amazing.
