Lord of the Desert

Chapter 108
"He Gong, as previously agreed, when everything is ready, we will hand over the part of the Yuan Magnetic Realm of the "Jie Niu Dian"."

Xiao Twelve smiled.

"As for the part of heaven and man, it will be given on the day Jinhai City is broken."

"My Nanhua Xiao family's most indispensable collection is martial arts skills and resources."

"If this happens, the Li family will be famous all over the world within two generations!"

Xiao Jiazi's words made Li Shenji's heart burn, and the unbearable feeling just now disappeared without a trace.

"You two, after the battle of Hongduo Mountain, the rift between Hong Sheng and Hong Fan has obviously deepened. Do I need to work hard..."

He offered to propose, but Li Heming shook his head lightly.

The two young masters of the Xiao family laughed even more disdainfully.

"Mysterious machine, you have to focus on the big and let go of the small when doing things."

Li Heming taught him a lesson.

"It's not that your method of concocting the rumors about Yishu Huyi was not good, but that it is meaningless to invest energy in Hong Sheng."

"What is the leader of the younger generation in Jinhai? It's just the ignorant words of Yufang Chaffinch—where in this world are there young leaders who have not yet reached the sympathy between heaven and man?"

For the first time, he showed obvious emotion.

That is true disdain.

"It's nothing more than a chaotic environment. When it comes to major events, there is no difference between one more and one less."

Li Heming calmly made a conclusion.

"Grand Crane's eyes are like torches."

Xiao Twelve agreed.

"It's a pity that the framing by Fang Zhiwu was not done at the beginning; otherwise, once the Hong family made a drastic move, with our influence, they could easily send their whole family into the [-]th floor of hell."

"That Hong Fan grew up too fast, he only got the Sand World for nine months, and he can no longer be regarded as a penetrating state."

Xiao Shisan added.

"It's just his personal combat power. The key point is that it hasn't been long since Ma Jingsha died, and Sha's legacy is still there."

"That person surnamed Fang shouldn't have been touched at that time, and he should have been killed directly..."

he regretted.

"Why should the thirteenth brother care about it?"

Xiao Twelve held onto the teacup with his bare hands, his fingertips radiated ice, and the tea leaves in the cup were frozen into powder.

"If you want to kill him, there are many opportunities."

"Sooner or later."

······
Five days later, December 27, at noon.

The end of the year is approaching.

Whether it is Jinhai or Shenjing, every household is caught in the same festive busyness.

Aunt Liu took the peach red and cut the steamed rice cake into four regular rectangles while it was hot, pressed a few big red dates on it, let it cool and shaped it, and enshrined it in front of the tablets of the Bodhisattva and his wife respectively.

After several pious worship, she took the remaining corners of the rice cakes, dipped them in sugar, and offered them to the Stove Lord.

"God Stove is going back to heaven during the Chinese New Year."

While Aunt Liu was busy, she taught the new maid.

"After eating our sugar-dipped rice cakes, the old man's mouth was stuck. After going to heaven, he only said good things, not bad things..."

Outside the kitchen, Big Tang and Liu Lu were busy stuffing sausages.

After being busy for a long time, there was another yell outside the courtyard: "Master Tang, the kitchen is on fire, go fry something?"

"Wait for me, I'll come here."

Big Tang hurriedly responded loudly, wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes, then picked up the fish, meat, tofu balls, etc. that had been packed in a basket by the side, and rushed outside.

For most places in Dahua, fried food is a must for Chinese New Year food.

Therefore, every year, the clan will supply oil uniformly, designate two days to start the stove, and help the clan to process raw materials-this is convenient and economical.

In the entire Asahi Courtyard, there was only one person watching all this, still doing nothing and being lazy.

The ground was covered with unmelted snow, and on top of the snow were stretched chairs made of rattan.

Hong Fan was lying on the rattan chair in his single clothes, squinting at Aunt Liu's busy schedule, and was blown by the icy wind so that he fell asleep.

He practiced penance for many days in a row, and he hadn't been so relaxed for a long time.

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and a burly young man in brocade clothes came to visit Nei Baba.

"Second brother!"

a call.

Hong Fan followed the prestige and saw Hong Ping's face which he hadn't seen for a long time.

"What's the matter? Come in and talk."

He yawned and shrank his neck.

"Second brother, I need your help with something."

Hong Ping walked to Hong Fan's side and said anxiously.

"It's about my brother."

"Your elder brother? Hong Sheng?"

Hong Fan half raised his eyelids and asked.

"What can he do?"

"Since he came back from Hongduo Mountain, he has been practicing martial arts crazily as if he was in a daze."

Hong Ping said worriedly.

"I heard from my mother that my eldest brother has reached the final threshold of the eighth strange scripture of the Chaotic Realm, but he can't break through for some reason."

"Three days ago, he directly locked himself in the Qilin Courtyard, and he still doesn't let anyone in, and he hasn't even eaten a bite of food."

"Even my mother can't help it."

When Hong Fan heard this, he probably understood after a little thought.

"An accident happened to Hong Sheng, you didn't go to your father?"

He was not in a hurry to reply, and asked again.

"I wanted to tell my dad from the beginning."

Hong Ping replied instinctively, and felt that this was very awkward - obviously the two were the same father.

"But my mother won't let me go."

He pouted.

"She said it's a trivial matter so don't make trouble for my father, but she's obviously in a hurry."

"Hey, thinking too much and doing too little, this person is just disturbing himself."

Hong Fan sat up, smiled and shook his head.

"They are all warriors at their peak, what is it if they don't eat for three days?"

"Besides, my mother has nothing to do, so you still come to me?"

he asked with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Hong Ping replied very seriously.

"If it's you, there must be a way!"

"And I always feel that the elder brother may have something to do with you, the second brother..."

He was talking to himself, but he realized that what he just said could easily lead to misunderstanding.

"Uh, I didn't mean that, I meant..."

Hong Ping was in a hurry to explain, but was interrupted by his brother waving his hand.

"Okay, okay, just your brain, how can you let me misunderstand you?"

Hong Fan stretched, and got off the couch regardless of Hong Ping, who was like eating a fly.

A few months ago, he was still very scruples about Hong Sheng.

Because this person is actually the third master of the Hong family, the commander of Zhu Yiqi, and the next generation patriarch recognized by the clan.

Famous, real, and powerful.

Hong Fan was not afraid of him, but he also didn't want to offend him, so after there were rumors of "reciprocity between the son and the concubine", he immediately took the initiative to communicate with Hong Jian and Hong Sheng.

In order to seek a united and stable internal environment, he even took the initiative to offend Zheng Fuqu and Chi Xinchi.

But Hong Fan's later progress was too fast.

Jinhai's first-class martial arts resource allocation, continuous battles, Bailu Dan...

Up to now, the strength and power condensed in him are no less than that of Hong Sheng.

Therefore, he no longer cares what the latter thinks.

"Hong Ping, has Hong Sheng talked to you recently?"

Hong Fan asked.

"No; I can only feel that he is in a hurry, but I don't know what and why he is in a hurry..."

Hong Ping sighed.

When Hong Fan heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle.

In an instant, many things circled his mind.

Hong Li's ethnology teaching, Hong Lie's martial arts performance in the school field, and Hong Ming's leading charge.

As well as the great mediation of his family when he was imprisoned, and the full protection of his brothers when he rushed to kill...

Hong Fan asked himself, Hong Sheng really didn't have much friendship with him.

But he couldn't turn a blind eye to Hong Sheng's matter.

PS: I have to explain everything that needs to be explained.

The next four or five chapters are the relatively important content of the protagonist's line in the first volume, and after that is the next big plot.
