Lord of the Desert

Chapter 292 Listening to Thunder in a Silent Place

When Hong Fan heard this, he casually guessed that it was Wu Hongling and Jian Siyuan who had spoken, and the latter probably informed his immediate superior.

He took a sip of tea.

The tea leaves are very good and well brewed. There is no trace of the handiwork of heavenly beings.

"I see."

The old man nodded and looked at Hong Fan carefully.

"No wonder I often heard about his reputation later - with such a good knife, how can An not use it?"

Both of them laughed.

Then, Xu Guinian turned to Hong Fan.

"Why can't we talk about it in the ministry during the day and why do we have to come here so late?"

he asked.

"It's a private matter."

Hong Fan replied, glancing at the third person.

"Don't worry too much. Mr. Wu Zhi and I have a frank relationship. There is nothing that cannot be discussed."

Xu Guinian said boldly.

Hong Fan had never heard of Mr. Wu Zhi, but he felt that the old man's features were familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

But Xu Guinian said so, so he naturally had nothing to worry about.

"Admiral, please."

Hong Fan raised his hand.

"I discovered that an important criminal is hiding in the Shen family in Xijing."

Xu Guinian was stunned when he heard this.

"Be specific."

He added, glancing at Mr. Wu Zheng.

"Ao Zhixian, the mastermind behind the assassination of Tiqi Zhan Yuanzi of the Second Team, is now hiding in the Shen family, his cousin Shen Zhiyin from Hongyi City under the name Shen Tiexin."

Hong Fan finished speaking in one breath.

Insects chirped in through the window.

Both looked surprised.

But Hong Fan knew very well that Gu Taining had already reported this matter to his superiors.

"Could it be a mistake?"

Xu Guinian asked with a frown.

"Ao Zhixian showed up at the three-day banquet, and many people saw him."

Hong Fan replied immediately.

"Bullshit."

Mr. Wu Zheng scolded.

He seemed to know immediately that what Hong Fan said was true.

Xu Guinian paused for a moment.

"Ao Zhixian has been included in the evil list, and he is a person who must be killed by Jiuzhou Zhangwuyuan."

He made up his mind first and then showed a confused look on his face.

"Hong Fan, you must also know that Liangzhou is in a period of change and the situation is very complicated."

"I will never tolerate the Ao family."

"Just for the sake of the overall situation, the state department cannot handle this matter now, do you understand?"

This seems to be said to one person

But it’s not for one person.

Xu Guinian did not expect that Hong Fan looked calm and replied immediately.

"I understand, so I chose to come to visit you at night."

he replied.

"I'm not asking the state department or the admiral to handle this immediately."

"Then why are you looking for me?"

Xu Guinian said curiously.

Hong Fan answered the question incorrectly: "I will personally attend Shen Tiexin's three-day banquet in March and kill Ao Zhixian on the spot."

These words were beyond Xu Guinian's expectation.

He had a strange expression on his face, suppressing his laughter, and glanced at Mr. Wuwei beside him calmly.

And the old man was obviously interested.

"This is not a small tone, but how are you going to do it?"

he asked curiously.

"If we want to talk about Longtan and Tiger's Den in Xijing City, apart from the Zhangwuyuan headed by Xu Gong, it is the Shen family."

"As far as I know, Shen Tiexin is the darling of the Shen family, and she is always surrounded by innate-level guest guards. Why do you kill people at her banquet?"

The old man asked again and again.

"It's my business."

Hong Fan refused to say anything.

Xu Guinian laughed when he heard this.

"If you can do it, why are you coming to me? I told you in advance that it is impossible to send someone to help you now, and it is impossible to agree to let other people from the state department participate in this matter."

He thought Hong Fan would be in trouble.

But the latter is not surprising.

"I hope to get the admiral's protection afterwards."

Hong Fan replied.

"If I do this, I will definitely offend Shen Tiexin and even the Shen family ancestors. Therefore, I hope that the admiral can help me calm down the aftermath."

Xu Guinian suddenly realized.

"What do you think sir?"

He looked at Mr. Wu Zheng.

"It's good. Repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred."

The old man nodded.

"As long as you plan well, nothing is impossible."

Seeing this, Xu Guinian could no longer hold back his smile.

"Haha, I mean the same thing!"

He stroked his beard.

"If you want to single-handedly bring peace to the state, I will naturally support it."

"It's just that our relationship with the Shen family is still undecided, so we can't give you a direct answer yet."

"Well, you sit in the wing over there and wait. There will be a distinguished guest coming over later."

"When he comes, we will give you an answer after we have discussed the matter."

"It can be regarded as my apology gift to you."

Xu Guinian pointed to the painting and calligraphy room at the other end of the study room.

Hong Fan himself had no objections.

He sat down on the chair in the left side room obediently.Soon, the world changed.

There seemed to be an invisible curtain falling down in the room.

The buzzing of insects in Hong Fan's ears gradually disappeared, and his perception was also compressed.

But vision is still normal.

About two-quarters of an hour later, as expected, another middle-aged man in luxurious clothes came in.

Strangely enough, although Hong Fan had never seen him before, his features seemed familiar to him.

The visitor didn't notice Hong Fan in the side compartment and sat directly opposite Xu Guinian.

The two sides started talking.

The distance was only more than ten meters, but Hong Fan couldn't hear a sound, as if he was no longer in the original world.

The three of them were chatting, their words were not congenial, and there was a hint of nervousness.

Hong Fan saw Xu Guinian shaking his head.

Then, Mr. Wu Zheng moved.

He put a palm on the middle-aged man's shoulder.

At this moment, the invisible curtain covering the calligraphy and painting room was blown open.

Hong Fan still couldn't hear the sound, but he could feel the drastic changes in the vitality of heaven and earth.

At the moment when the whole body of the middle-aged man in Jinyi tensed up, nearly endless amounts of true energy spread out in all directions.

The innate spiritual energy echoes it, like the hanging arms of the sky and the open arms of the earth.

In comparison, the power of Hong Jian and Chi Lin in the second battle was meager.

However, this move failed in the end.

Immediately after Mr. Wu Zheng, Xu Guinian also took action, and with a smooth palm spread, he killed the middle-aged man.

click.

The latter leaned back on the chair, already a corpse.

In an instant, the sand world sensed Tianliang's vitality.

This is a situation that Hong Fan has never encountered before - so much nutrients are exuded from the dead that the life star is "full" after only collecting a small part.

He immediately realized that this middle-aged man was a Yuan Magnetic master, and he was by no means a weakling among them.

And this is exactly the gift Xu Guinian said.

[Just now, what happened? 】

Hong Fan asked himself, his mind was in chaos.

The curtain covering the side compartment was completely gone.

Only then could he hear the voice coming from the other side.

"Sir is indeed a trustworthy person."

This was what Xu Guinian said to the old man.

"How dare you play tricks in front of Tianji Hengzuan?"

The latter replied.

The two reached out and held each other's hands, looking at each other and laughing.

"Okay, Hong Fan, come here."

Xu Guinian called.

"Now I can give you an answer."

Hong Fan walked over slowly, his whole body still in an indescribable state of shock.

"You can do what you just said."

Xu Guinian's voice was relaxed.

"But agree in advance that since you are going to take action in the Shen Mansion, the person you will kill is the Shen family's 'cousin'. This will greatly damage the Shen family's reputation."

"So things have to come and go. We can't just be allowed to go and not be allowed to return it."

He looked at Mr. Wu Zheng and used a discussion tone.

"You can do it at the banquet, but whether it succeeds or not, you have to come back in a carriage."

"While the car is on the road, if the Shen family kills you, captures you, or takes away your helpers, it will be a tooth for a tooth, and there is nothing I can do to help."

"Similarly, no matter whether things are done or not, even if you burn down Wuzhen Garden, as long as you can return to Zhangwuyuan, I will settle everything for you from now on."

Xu Guinian waved his hand with great courage.

【Wuzhen Garden? 】

Hong Fan felt alarmed when he heard this. He couldn't care so much at the moment, so he quickly expressed his gratitude.

"By the way, for this and tonight's gift, you owe me a favor, and you will have to pay it back in the future."

Xu Guinian said finally.

Hong Fan nodded, excused himself and left.

The study door is closed.

No one around.

The residence of the powerful celestial beings does not need to be guarded.

Hong Fan took a deep breath and walked down the steps. Within a few steps, his whole body became weak and he was forced to lean on his knees with both hands and breathe heavily.

He couldn't help but recall what had just happened.

Then fully realize what happened.

[The dead middle-aged man was a Yuanci master, and a piece of jade on his body bore the family crest of the Liu family in Xijing. 】

[This person can only be Liu Xingxian’s father. 】

[No. 80 No. [-] on the Earth Ranking, the Hundred-Armed King, and the number one master of the Liu family, Liu Rui. 】

Hong Fan swallowed.

[As for Mr. Wu Zhi. 】

[Snow-white beard and hair are probably not due to old age, but due to martial arts. 】

[And the place where Shen Tiexin held the banquet was called Wuzheng Garden. 】

[Unsurprisingly, he is No. 30 on the local list, Wan Zhang Ning Bing, the ancestor of the Shen family, Shen Maye. 】

[No wonder these two people look familiar to me...]

The changes in the situation in recent months, as well as the countless details of tonight's whole incident, seemed to explode in Hong Fan's mind.

[Mr. Wu Zheng said that Xu Guinian is willing to see me at this time, which shows that he attaches great importance to me. 】

[This time does not refer to night, but specifically tonight. 】

He completely understood.

Before tonight, Xijing was in a turbulent situation, and the core was Liu Chen's family joining forces to face off against the Governor's Mansion and the Zhangwu Academy.

And tonight is the night when the Shen family changes sides;
It was the night when Shen Maye stabbed Liu Rui in the back;
It was also the night when the dust settled in Liangzhou’s battle against Xian.

After thinking about all this, Hong Fan's eyes blurred and his ears buzzed, as if a silent thunder exploded in the sky that turned everything upside down.

"call……"

He exhaled suddenly.

God again.

The surrounding fields were silent except for the chirping of insects.

As if nothing had happened.

PS: Lian Guangyu has a vast mind and listens to thunder in a silent place - Lu Xun.
