Lord of the Desert

Chapter 285
The 26th of the first month.

Shen Shi arrived just now (three o'clock in the afternoon).

Palm Martial Arts Academy, Xie Zhi Hall.

Six teams of Tiqi were present, all wearing bright red cloud-patterned silk uniforms.

Although the atmosphere is solemn, as far as the eye can see, it is actually filled with flowers.

Xu Guinian sat aside with a serious look on his face.

Standing solemnly in the center is Gu Taining, the fourth-rank commander.

"The results of the assassination of Zhan Yuanzi of the second team of the State Department's Tiqi were announced yesterday."

He looked around at everyone, his voice heavy.

"The Fubo Gang did this."

"The messenger is Ao Zhixian, and the executioners are the five river-blocking ghosts."

The hall remained silent.

But this was obviously beyond the expectations of many people.

The results of yesterday's backtracking are highly confidential.

Except for Hong Fan, who was one of the witnesses, even Wu Hongling and Wu Ruyi, who were present throughout the whole process, did not know.

And keeping it secret is naturally for revenge.

"It can be confirmed that the three members of the Ao family have disappeared many days ago, and they probably fled out of Xijing after the incident."

Gu Taining continued.

"The sea arrest documents against them will be issued to Kyushu in the near future."

"I've called you all together today to do the rest."

He gave him a look, and several deacons waiting nearby immediately distributed several volumes of copied documents to each team.

Hong Fan opened it and found that it contained detailed information about several warriors, including their portraits, killing methods, and past achievements.

"Zeng Daoqi, who was a gangster in his early years, was nicknamed River Demon. Now he is clean and nicknamed He Bo."

Gu Taining's voice echoed between the beams.

"Hunran's seven meridians are cultivated, he practices "River Dividing Jue", and he is a river operator. He is the owner of Shunde Xing."

As he spoke, he turned around and marked the location on the map of Liangzhou hanging behind his back.

"110 miles south of Xijing, Sanxi County."

The words did not stop.

"Qiu Jing'an, nicknamed 'Paiyun', has a peak level of cultivation, is proficient in various palm techniques, and is the master of Xingyun Temple."

"One thousand four hundred miles southwest of Xijing, Hongyi City is located on the Qiu Mountain."

There is a second punctuation point on the map.

"Duan Licheng has a nickname called 'Destroying Feng'. He is at the peak of cultivation. His family has the "Duan Family Sword". He went out to explore when he was young and succeeded to the title of head of the family when he returned home."

"One thousand one hundred miles due west of Xijing, Duanjiazhuang outside Boyang City."

third point.

"'Golden Spear' Hua'an, cultivated in harmony between heaven and man, has been immersed in spear skills for 50 years, and washed his hands in the golden basin three years ago."

"Five hundred miles northwest of Xijing, Feiming City is the capital of China."

Fourth point.

"Mi Jun is famous for his one-handed swordsmanship. People call him 'Flying Waterfall'. He is a man of heaven and earth, and he runs a bodyguard agency."

"170 miles north of Xijing, Qinghuai City."

The fifth and final point.

The regular collection and control of information about warriors, martial arts, sects, etc. is one of the duties of the Zhangwuyuan.

Based on this, it has been less than a full day since yesterday evening. With the help of various pieces of information obtained through backtracking, the identities of the five river-blocking ghosts have been confirmed.

The Tiqiu finished reading the information.

Gu Taining began to assign tasks.

"Mi Jun is the strongest among the five, and there are a few strong helpers in the escort agency. The third team and the sixth team are jointly responsible."

"'Golden Spear' Hua'an's martial arts is not weaker than Mi Jun, but he is old and weak. He only has an only son with some fighting ability. Let's come to the fourth team."

After the targets of the two heavenly and human beings were assigned, there were three teams corresponding to the remaining three people.

"Duan Licheng is fierce with his swordsmanship and has his own clan to defend him. Let's go to the first team."

Gu Taining said.

"Master Lu Yun, don't be reckless."

He paused and warned again.

Master Lu Yun scratched his face.

"Qiu Jing'an has six true disciples and a dozen outer disciples, and handed them over to the fifth team."

"There is also Zeng Daoqi; this guy runs a boat shop. His martial arts is the lowest among the five, but he has a lot of manpower and determination..."

Gu Taining stopped and looked at the second team, slightly embarrassed.Wu Ruyi's fighting ability is also outstanding among the six teams, not to mention Hong Fan.

But now that Zhan Yuanzi has been assassinated, Bai Jiasi has not yet returned to Xijing, and there are only two people in the entire second team.

Sending them there was not based on the philosophy of the Gassho Martial Arts School: to defeat the few with more, and to defeat the weak with the strong.

Hong Fan took a deep breath and was about to speak, but was interrupted.

"There is no need to make things difficult. I will go with you this time."

Wu Hongling, who was dressed in official uniform, raised her hands and said.

Most of the six masters of Liangzhou Zhangwuyuan are masters of martial arts.

However, the Siye itself is only a civilian position and has no obligation to work in the field.

"This time is different from the past. Since Wu Siye has this intention, I will not stop him."

Gu Taining thought for a moment and then approved.

Although the second team still only had three people, the smallest number among the five groups, Wu Hongling alone was stronger than Bai Jiaci and Zhan Yuanzi combined, and their combat power increased dramatically.

"If we go this time, we'll catch the best ones alive, and the dead ones aren't bad either."

After everything was agreed upon, Gu Taining made the final conclusion.

"As for the Fubo Gang's chief rudder in the south of the city, a certain general will personally lead the team and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

At the command, all the cavalry stood up, held their hands, and filed out.

Sanxi County is located directly south of Xijing.

As soon as the second team of three rode out of the city gate, Hong Fan raised his hand to signal to slow down.

"Si Ye, please bring this green horse with you."

He turned over and dismounted and explained.

Wu Hongling immediately knew what the other party meant.

"We have to act together!"

She ordered with a serious look on her face.

Hong Fan just shook his head.

"Ten days ago, that sword hit here and it hurt me so much..."

He held his heart.

"If I wait any longer, my blood will dry up!"

The two looked at each other.

After taking a breath, Wu Hongling took the lead in turning her eyes away.

"You always have the best ideas. If you don't listen to me, just go ahead."

"If you die in Zeng Daoqi's hands, Ruyi and I will follow to take revenge."

She said angrily again.

"Si Ye is joking. If he wants to kill me, how can they deserve it?"

Hong Fan laughed and said, ignoring the eyes of passers-by, he gathered the sand wings on the official road and rose into the sky in a few steps.

······
It was Shen Shizheng (four o'clock in the afternoon) when Hong Fan left Haezhi Hall.

At this point in time, he has cultivated the five meridians of the Universal Realm, and has nearly [-]% of the sixth pulse opened.

This is enough to support a flight speed of [-] kilometers per hour.

At the beginning of Youshi (five o'clock in the afternoon), Hong Fan arrived at his destination.

Sanxi County is located along the river and has a population of only 2.

It was originally a small place, so Shunde, which owned seven large ships, was particularly famous.

The main helm of Shunde Bank is located in the downtown area, and there is a squinting door leaning against the door.

People flowed back and forth, in full view.

Hong Fan suppressed his chest, put his hands behind his back and went straight in.

When Menzi saw this, he suddenly woke up and stood up to stop him. He found that the intruder seemed to be walking slowly, but he couldn't catch up with him.

Under the eaves of the main hall, Hong Fan stopped.

"Where is the river demon Zeng Daoqi?"

This shout shook the cauldron, like a drought thunder, alarming the entire Shunde family.

Several strong men came up quickly from behind and blocked the way with their arms folded.

Seeing that there were many people on his side, the hesitant disciple regained the courage and rushed up to grab Hong Fan.

He immediately realized that what he was holding seemed to be not a flesh and blood arm, but a hot iron bar.

"Ouch!"

Menzi exclaimed and stepped away.
