Lord of the Desert

Chapter 294 Shura in the fight
The seventh day of March.

Liangzhou Tongguang.

People come and go from the chalcedony mine outside the city.

Carriages carrying goods came and went in a steady stream on the street.

Everything seems to have returned to before the incident in Huaiyang Kingdom.

Even more brilliant than that time.

The Gong family is also a lively scene.

On such a day when everything is competing for success, Gong Heng, the top master of Tongguang and the "Undercurrent and Dark Sun", received an urgent letter.

The letter was sent through the expedited channel six hundred miles from Xijing through the authority of the supervisor.

The wax seal used is still Zhuang Liren's.

Gong Heng naturally attaches great importance to it.

He closed the study door and window, opened the letter, and found that it was written by Hong Fan.

The more he read, the more Gong Heng frowned.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Next to him, the young boy Urawa saw this and asked out of curiosity.

Gong Heng just remained silent.

That night, senior officials of the Gong family held an emergency meeting and discussed for a full hour.

Early the next morning, Gong Heng left the city and headed east on his own horse.

The destination is Xijing.

······
On the tenth day of March, the Yin hour is about to pass.

The sun rises high, pouring out all the clouds.

It began to rain lightly.

Hong Fan, wearing a bamboo hat and riding a red flag, left the Anding Gate of Xijing and went to the Shura Sect of Tianpeng Mountain.

Twenty miles west, he caught up with a large convoy.

This motorcade carried a banner with the character Liu at the head and tail.

There is only one famous Liu family in Xijing.

Two days ago, Hong Fan heard news that shocked Liangzhou.

Liu Xiu resigned and retired, and the Liu family moved to Boyang City. They were so anxious that they didn't even have time to deal with many family properties.

I didn't expect to meet you on the road today.

The convoy moved slowly, and Hong Fan didn't want to follow behind, so he went around from the side.

The rain here is slightly greater than that in Xijing.

He saw that the men of the Liu family were all wearing coir raincoats, leather armor and swords.

At the center of the motorcade, the only luxury carriage that retained the family crest made the sand world feel special.

There should be a star king sitting inside.

It can only be Liu Hong, the second master of the Liu family, the Star Lord of the Yuan Magnetic Realm, and the Star Lord of the "Biobiaohou".

It is said that Defiance Hou can continuously heal friendly troops in a large area and recover injuries and physical strength at a high speed. Like Fate Tong, he is a type that is not good at individual combat.

But no matter what, now is obviously not the time to make friends.

Hong Fan accelerated his horse and met an old acquaintance ahead.

Liu Rui's legitimate son Liu Xingxian.

He wore muddy leather boots and a raincoat. The silver-threaded robe inside was half wet from the rain, and it was hard to tell how many times he had worn it.

[The convoy carried too much cargo, and there was no room for him? 】

Hong Fan thought, and the image of the other party's arrogance in Mingyue Tower emerged in his mind.

That seemed like a long time ago, but it was actually only half a year ago.

It happened that Liu Xingxian also turned his eyes.

The two looked at each other, each looking away.

"drive!"

Hong Fan gave a low drink.

In Liu Xingxian's eyes, this person and this horse have gone away together with the past time like burning oil.

······
In the afternoon, Hong Fan arrived at Tianpeng Mountain and asked to see Qu Luoyi.

The latter has no airs.

I heard that the person coming was Hong Fan, and he arrived soon.

As of February of the 29th year of Zhenghe, Qu Luoyi's cultivation had advanced to the fifth level of Xiantian, ranking tenth on the list of geniuses.

"Hey, Hong Fan, you look like someone has died in your family!"

This was the first sentence Xiao Doudi said when he came in, which suddenly broke all Hong Fan's plans.

He can't always say that your guess is accurate.

"This is given to you as a congratulations on entering the top ten of the Genius List."

Hong Fan was speechless for a moment and had no choice but to push the souvenir he brought over.

It's not anything expensive, it's all Xijing's local delicacies.

"You act like it's hard to get into the top ten."

Qu Luoyi sat down on the side and was not polite. He opened the paper package and tasted everything on the spot.

"This cake is okay, but this jujube cake is not..."

He commented while eating.

Hong Fan waited quietly until the other party finished eating.

After Qu Luoyi finished eating, he licked the debris from his lips and clapped his hands.

"Okay, so why are you looking for me?"

he asked.

"I need your help with something."

Hong Fan took a deep breath and got straight to the point.

"The thing is killing people, killing people for revenge."

He said, and then told the other party everything about Zhan Yuanzi's death.

It is both a statement and a review.

Of course, the part about Liu Rui was removed.Qu Luoyi listened with great interest.

When Hong Fan talked about killing four assassins in a row, he applauded easily.

Until the end, Hong Fan mentioned that Ao Zhixian hid in the Shen family and visited Xu Guinian and Zhuang Liren in turn.

"The next three-day feast will be on March [-]th."

"I want to kill her in Wuzhen Garden, and I want you to protect me."

Qu Luoyi listened to the whole story and finally suppressed his smile.

"I'm good at fighting. You're right to find me."

He touched his chin and hesitated.

"But one meal of pastries is not enough..."

When Hong Fan heard this, he first took out a piece of paper.

[Hong Fan lent Qu Luoyi 1000 taels. 】

The handwriting is crooked, it is Qu Luoyi's IOU for visiting the brothel.

Hong Fan tore up the IOU and burned it to ashes with Yanliu Jin.

"Brother Qu, please help me with this matter."

"What kind of money or things do you want, 1 taels, 2 taels, 3 taels, but please bid."

"As long as I have it, as long as you want it, just ask!"

His voice was decisive.

Qu Luoyi nodded, stared at Hong Fan again, and finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

At first he laughed like crazy, then wildly.

In the end, there was only ferocity in this smile.

It was as if all the flesh and skin had been torn off, revealing the bones burning with phosphorus fire underneath.

"You want me to help you, okay!"

Qu Luoyi suddenly spoke, looking at Hong Fan with a pair of eyes, his eyes shining brightly.

"There are many people in our Shura Sect who like to fight bravely and ruthlessly, and seven out of ten will not lead to a good death."

"Outside Tianpeng Mountain, the bodies of the first and second generation Dou Emperor buried in the two peaks are all incomplete."

He mocked, showing no signs of respect or inferiority.

"I don't lack money, I just lack friends."

"When I die in the wild, a friend who is willing to wrap my body in my body and bury me, and draw a sword to avenge me."

"Hong Fan, are you willing to be my friend?"

Qu Luoyi asked, stretching out his hand.

Hong Fan grasped it without hesitation.

"it is good!"

Qu Luoyi shouted loudly.

"Shura never cares about the rules and principles in a fight."

"Since you are my friend, just talk about time and place, not right and wrong."

"I am responsible for all the murders and arson!"

······
March [-]th, the night is getting darker.

There are still fifteen days until the next three-day banquet.

The best private room in Hongjia Xingshengtang.

The table was messy.

On the second altar, the ten-year-old fire jadeite was drunk up.

A Shen family member picked his teeth with a toothpick and went down the stairs carrying an expensive gift.

In the room, the sound of the river waves fluctuated.

Hong Fan sat back in his chair and stared at the full moon outside the window in ecstasy.

"Now that you've got the invitation, what exactly are you going to do?"

Across the table, Master Lu Yun asked.

no answer.

"Hong Fan!"

He spoke again, his voice thickening.

"Do you still remember what you said to me? A little impatience will lead to a big plan!"

This time, Hong Fan finally turned his face.

"I'm calm and more tolerant than ever."

he said with a smile.

There was even a special joy in his words.

"You're going to kill Ao Zhixian, right?"

Dissatisfied with his friend's excuse, Master Lu Yun stood up and asked.

Hong Fan was still unfazed.

"Master Yun, I have my own ideas."

"There's just one thing. You don't want to go to the three-day banquet this time."

He added a sentence.

"You still said you were calm!"

Master Lu Yun sighed.

"I'm really calm."

Hong Fan still laughed.

"I told you not to come, but I'm afraid you will be reckless."

After he finished speaking, he walked past the round table, shook Master Lu Yun's hand heavily, and then left.

Master Lu Yun stayed alone in the wing.

After a while, he had a decision.
