Lord of the Desert

Chapter 200 Endless Summer

Wu Ruyi and Bai Jiaci are both very young.

Although Zhan Yuanzi is old, he has an easy-going personality.

After Hong Fan practiced with them twice, they became familiar with each other.

But the days passed day by day, and the expected "live" never came.

Since there was nothing to disturb, Hong Fan practiced peacefully.

Soon half a month passed.

Although the summer solstice has not yet arrived, there is still the summer heat going up along the Yao River, and it is full of collision with Xijing City.

May thirteenth, immediately after the wet May twelfth.

The torrential rain did not stop until early morning.

When Hong Fan got up, the air in the yard was humid and stuffy, the birds were singing loudly, and the densely planted hydrangeas were in clusters of blue and purple, all in full bloom.

It seems that summer has always been achieved overnight.

Not long after the morning exercise, before Hong Fan had had breakfast, he saw a servant coming to report, and a heroic and beautiful woman came to his door.

He went to the front hall, and sure enough, he saw Wu Ruyi.

"Change quickly, let's go to the Martial Arts Academy."

She was dressed in a cloud-patterned silk dress, she stood upright without taking a seat, and opened her mouth as soon as they met.

Seeing his serious expression, Hong Fan went back to the back house without saying a word, and changed into a formal Tiqi suit.

The two rode out on horseback.

"There is a mission at Xiezhi Hall, Si Ye asked me to call you."

After getting on the road, Wu Ruyi explained.

"We've arrived at Xiezhi Hall, so it's not just for us?"

Hong Fan asked.

"Not yet."

Wu Ruyi nodded.

"There are six teams of Tiqi in the state department, and the total number of missions in a year is about [-]; if you want to earn more meritorious service, you must naturally grab it."

"Let me give you an overview of the matter first."

She forcibly drove the white horse under her crotch to overcome her fear, and leaned against the tiger-eating beast, then said softly.

"Maybe you know the He family in Xijing?"

Hong Fan shook his head.

"This family is famous for making elixir. The family is rich and has a lot of land in the northeast circle outside the city, where many precious seedlings are planted."

Wu Ru explained one more sentence in the complaint.

"One of the precious forest trees is called 'Cicada Wuming', and the price of the wood core is extremely expensive."

"Three days ago, more than a dozen of the He family's Cicada Wuming were stolen and the wood core was taken."

"This kind of theft was naturally taken over by the city judge, and a famous arrester was sent to investigate the case."

She speaks too hastily, take a break.

"Is this not found out?"

Hong Fan asked, and the story of Sherlock Holmes and Conan began to rewind in his mind.

Wu Ruyi pursed her lips and shook her head from side to side.

"Where is our business if we don't find out?"

She reached out to tuck the loose strands of hair behind her ears.

"The city judge will find a place soon."

"But those who can steal things from the He family are naturally masters."

"They may have started to scare the snake. Last night, taking advantage of the heavy rain, the criminals suddenly ran away with the wooden core and their belongings, and injured the guards who were watching."

"An hour ago, the city guard's mansion transferred the case to us."

This means to do it.

As Hong Fan thought, he could already see the high red wall of the Martial Arts Academy from a distance.

"understood."

He replied, seeing Hong Qi deliberately baring his teeth at the white horse walking shoulder to shoulder, he pulled the rein hard.

"To put it simply, it is to grab jobs, find people, and recover goods."

"That's what I mean."

Wu Ruyi nodded and relaxed her control over the mount.

The white horse decisively moved two steps horizontally, widening the distance from the red flag.

At this time, she seemed to suddenly remember something.

"The house you live in is so big, and the 'Endless Summer' is also open well."

"Endless summer?"

Hong Fan was taken aback.

"Endless Summer is the name of the hydrangea in your yard."

Wu Ruyi turned to look at Hong Fan.

"You do not know?"

"The flowers are tended by others, I don't understand."

Hong Fan laughed.

"Well, I only know it because my mother once planted it."

Wu Ruyi tightened her cuffs and grabbed the reins.

"Flowers are beautiful, but they are useless."

"If those Endless Summers are eliminated, a spacious training ground can be created."

Hong Fan was surprised when he heard the words, and suddenly didn't know how to reply.

At this moment, the Martial Arts Academy arrived.

The two dismounted beside the bronze lion.

Wu Ruyi grabbed the lion's paw and stepped inside.

······
In Xiezhi hall, the atmosphere is not very good.

A middle-aged man with a goatee was sitting behind the table, and Deacon Xie, who Hong Fan had seen before, was standing aside.

"Director Jian, it's our turn for this matter."

Wu Hongling held down the long table and said firmly.

"The last time we were assigned a task, it was more than three months ago!"

The person behind the table glanced at her and refused to speak.

"Hong Ling, this kind of thing doesn't depend on wheels."

On the side of the hall, a tall, thin man in expensive clothes said.

"The goal this time is not mediocrity."

This person's surname is Zhou, and he is the secretary of the first team.

Wu Hongling glanced at him.

"Wu Siye, Zhou Siye is right."

At this time, a tall young man next to him spoke.

"The two of you are high-ranking, there are also a few people in the penetrating realm, and dozens of armed servants. If you want them to match up, it may be a little difficult."

"Shi Yuanwei, take care of yourself."

Wu Hongling straightened up and replied coldly.

"You don't need to talk about my affairs."

Si Ye is a seventh-rank official and the superior of Tiqi in the state department.

But Shi Yuanwei didn't care at all.

In terms of personal combat power, he has practiced "Shen Xing Dian" to achieve the sympathy between heaven and man, and he is not inferior to Wu Hongling.

And Xu Xiuqi, the secretary of the third team, is the oldest among his colleagues. At this time, he is over [-] years old, and he basically looks like a pensioner, letting his confidantes decide everything.

Therefore, in Xiezhi Hall, he, Shi Yuanwei, has always been treated as half a secretary, who can decide the affairs of the team with one word.

"Wu Siye, this case has not been assigned yet, so it's not just your business."

Shi Yuanwei stood with arms folded.

"Besides, the matter that Jiancheng assigned to the second team last time was a mess..."

When Hong Fan and Wu Ruyi stepped into the atrium of Xiezhi Hall, they heard these words from afar.

"Brother Shi is right."

Beside Zhou Siye, a young man wearing a purple crown and square-toed tiger-print silk boots said.

"Of course Ruyi is not weak, but the remaining two are not!"

This is the captain of the first team.

"Master Lu Yun!"

Wu Hongling shouted, her chest rose and fell violently, and she was quite out of breath.

Shi Yuanwei and Lu Yunshi glanced at each other, just as they were about to continue to squeeze out their common competitors, they saw a pair of Bi people walking into the door.

The slender and quiet one in front was Wu Ruyi.

The one who followed behind with a face like a crown was familiar.

"Master Hong Fan?"

Shi Yuanwei asked in surprise.

He took a look at the red silk clothes on Hong Fan's body.

"Are you also a Tiqi?"

"Yes, it made up for the vacancy of the second team."

Hong Fan smiled back and saluted this old acquaintance.

Shi Yuanwei bowed back and stopped talking.

He had seen the combat power of this barren sand star king at the head of Jinhai City, and spoke highly of him.

A mission with dozens of martial arts points is not worth fighting with Hong Fan.

Without the strongest Tiqi to take the lead in the charge, Lu Yunshi had no choice but to put his flag down.

About half a cup of tea later, Bai Jiaci and Zhan Yuanzi arrived panting.

The latter hadn't had time to change into his military uniform, and the white clothes were stained with light ink.

PS: I don't have enough brainpower today.

Chapter 2 is about ten or eleven o'clock in the evening.
