Lord of the Desert

Chapter 206 Sour Soup
May [-]th is the solar term summer solstice.

The sundial is very cloudy, and the night leaks since then and the day is long.

In the morning, the sky in Xijing City was clear and bright, and the heat was steaming.

In the Tunfeng Hall of the Martial Arts Academy, several Tiqi were dressed in single clothes, sitting and chatting casually.

From today until Qiuhu passes by, sour plum soup will be served here for free.

"I asked Deacon Xie about it, and they said that Ruyi's business is really beautiful."

Said a young man with sideburns and pale complexion.

"The four of them chased for seventy or eighty miles southwest of the city, intercepted the target, and returned all their belongings to the courtyard in the afternoon."

His name is Yan Yulin, and he is the Tiqi of the first team.

"With Bai Jiaci's dog nose, it's not easy to find someone?"

Master Lu Yun curled his lips and drank the free sour plum soup in one gulp.

After a burst of coolness, he called the waiter from Tunfengtang to continue.

"The key this time is what happened to the He family."

Yan Yulin sighed.

"The head shopkeeper of the He family came to thank them personally, and gave everyone in the second team a seal pill!"

As soon as these words came out, the taste in the mouths of the people present suddenly disappeared.

"I've also heard about the reputation of De Qianzhuang. Now it seems that the rumors in the world are exaggerated, but they took advantage of it."

Another tall, thin and expensively dressed Ti rode sourly.

This person also belongs to the first team, named Yuan Xuesong.

"It's not necessarily a bargain."

Gao Wenyan of the third team replied.

"I heard from my friends in the Interrogation Department that the cultivation bases of Fei Liumai on Caoshang and Qimai Barbarian Bear are not adulterated at all."

"These two have practiced fourth-rank martial arts, but their fighting experience is not inferior."

"However, it is said that once Hong Fan made a move, the former fell in one face-to-face encounter, and the latter did not survive five moves."

"In the end, both of them were captured alive, and the second team was not injured at all."

Hearing these words in the ears of several Tiqi, it was quite unbelievable.

Master Lu Yun couldn't help but think differently—if he were to be himself, would he be able to capture the two high-ranking students alive without injury?

Although I don't want to admit it, there is a high probability that it will not work.

"Perhaps you don't know yet, this Hong Fan has obtained the Dragon Bestowing Star, and is the contemporary star master of Sand World."

Gao Wenyan added another sentence.

At this time, a thick voice came from outside.

"Where did you say that there is a star king?"

Footsteps came from far to near, and a burly man with stubble entered the door.

This person is Ye Xinghuo, the captain of the fourth team, and like Shi Yuanwei, he is in the realm of sympathy between heaven and man.

"Yo, Brother Ye is back?"

Lu Yunshi straightened up and smiled.

"Is this trip going well?"

"It's okay. I slept in the open for seventeen days, and two people were injured. Fortunately, the heads were brought back."

Ye Xinghuo nodded to Shi Yuanwei next to him, found an unoccupied table and sat down, beckoning the waiter to quickly serve the sour plum soup.

"What did you just say Xingjun?"

he asked.

"Ruyi's subordinates have a Jinhai man who claims to be the star master of the sand world."

Yuan Xuesong replied.

"It is said that he is very good at fighting."

"It's not just about being able to fight."

Yan Yulin said.

"I saw Bai Jiaci yesterday. He said that he had a good meal and a good meal at the Xingsheng Building in the east of the city a few days ago. He drank fire jade."

"It must be bragging."

Lu Yunshi sneered.

"That boy surnamed Bai came from a poor background. If his sword is chipped, he would not be willing to replace it with a new one. How can he have the money to drink fire jadeite?"

"Bai Jiaci has no money, but Hong Fan is different."

Shi Yuanwei said.

"He is the second young master of the Hong family in Jinhai City. His family also has a title, and he is a rich man."

Master Lu Yun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, obviously interested.

"What kind of nobility did the Jin Haihong family inherit?"

"It seems to be a captain of Zhen Guo."

Shi Yuanwei was not sure.

Yuan Xuesong sneered.

"I said, why have I never heard of this Hong family? It turns out that there is only a Marquis."

"My family is General Fuguo, and Master Yun will succeed General Zhenguo in the future; this is not to say that the ancestors of Yulin once gave birth to Lord Hou."

When he said this, he couldn't help but feel complacent.

But the other team Tiqi only smiled.

"It's good that your Yuan family has Gao Jue, but we've worked together for so long, and I haven't seen you invite anyone to drink fire jade."

Shi Yuanwei folded his arms and mocked.

"Although the Hong family is only the last prince, Hong Fan's mount is a scorched-tailed tiger."

"That thing will eat meat every day, maybe it will eat better than you!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Yuan Xuesong's face turned green and pale, and he was speechless.

"So, Xiaobai and the others will be able to eat a lot more every month in the future?"

Ye Xinghuo filled half his stomach with sour plum soup, wiped the corner of his mouth, and said.

"You put it that way, I'm really envious..."

When Master Lu Yun heard this, although his face was dismissive, his heart was irritable, so he got up and stood outside the hall with the bowl.

At this time, the sun is warm and the flowers are fragrant.

He took a sip of the ice soup and couldn't help but think of his childhood.

At that time, the family's situation was not bad, and my father often ordered some good wine from the big restaurant.

Every time I drink to my heart's content, I will dip my chopsticks in the wine and let myself taste it.

Lu Yunshi no longer remembers the aroma of wine, and the only taste of wine in his memory is spicy.

But after so many years, the time is getting farther and farther, and when he thinks back, he feels that the taste is extremely sweet.

The sound of military boots stomping on the ground startled the memories.

Lu Yunshi raised his head and saw Bai Jiaci striding into the courtyard.

His face was flushed and cheerful, and he entered Tunfengtang after saying hello, and the first thing he asked was free sour plum soup.

Not long after, there were a few more dialogues in the hall.

"Of course it's the Fire Emerald!"

"It's not just ordinary fire jade, it's ten years old, and I drank half a jug by myself!"

"Why is it expensive? The Xingsheng Hall is the property of my brother Hong Fan's family. I lied to you that you are puppies..."

Master Lu Yun had a glutton in his mouth, and quickly took a sip of sour plum soup.

"The scorched-tailed tiger beast is also true."

"This alien species is so expensive, there is a reason for it."

"You didn't see it. During the fight, the tiger-eating beast rushed forward with its fangs shining, and directly knocked the opposing battle formation away."

"Not only is it tall, but it can also eat and pull. I saw that the shit of a big horse is two or three times that of other horses!"

There was a burst of exclamation in the hall.

"It's nothing, I just went to my brother Hong Fan's house as a guest yesterday."

"On the other side of Qinglian Lane, Chaori Mansion on Sixth Street, have you heard of it?"

"The four-entry courtyard is worth several thousand guan, and the backyard has also been converted into a martial arts arena, which is about the size of an acre of land."

"It's magnificent, the courtyard is full of manicured Endless Summer, and the fragrance of flowers is bursting, why don't you say that there is a noble at home..."

Master Lu Yun listened to these words, but he couldn't even drink the sour soup.

He remembered that he had flipped through the clan chronicles he didn't know how many times, and it recorded the former Shenjing Lufu.

Over 99 acres of land, [-] houses, [-] corridors...

It's just that the Zhen Guo General's Mansion was sold four generations ago, and Master Lu Yun himself had never seen it.

But these are nothing.

[As long as I practice my family's martial arts to a great degree, I can earn back all of this! 】

Thinking of this, Master Lu Yun couldn't bear the laughter in Tunfeng Hall.

At this time, the scorching hot wind swept across the courtyard viciously, turning red and white.

Master Lu Yun looked intently, and saw that the peonies in the courtyard were half withered, and the tea plants were in full bloom.

The summer solstice has arrived, and the flowering period will pass.

[The next job, I have to win it! 】

He gritted his teeth secretly, and set off to find his own secretary.

PS: I was strongly recommended by the editor-in-chief today. Sure enough, there were a lot of comments, which made me a little angry for a while, and the code words were affected.

There should be another chapter later.
