Lord of the Desert

Chapter 217 Familiarity
"After the first battle in the next year, there were some replies from above."

Hong Lie said.

"Both Zheng Chengshou and Lord Gongsun received awards."

"In addition, Liao Shoubei has received a transfer order, and will be promoted to the Liangzhou Camp soon to serve as a fourth-rank guerrilla general."

"He made a special trip to tell me that he would treat you to a drink when he comes to Xijing in the future."

Hong Fan was very happy when he heard the words: "This is such a good thing, let's make it clear!"

"When the meeting is over, I'll go back and prepare a congratulatory ceremony, and you can bring it to General Liao for me."

"By the way, since General Liao is leaving, is there any explanation for the position of Jin Hai's defense?"

He drank the wine in his glass, looked at Hong Fu again, and asked.

"Your father has been in charge of the overall command of the battle in March. There must be no second person in this position?"

Hong Fu shook his head.

"There is a high probability that it will not be his turn."

"My father spends all day in the military camp, and he doesn't have to say anything about the military training command, but he only has the cultivation base of the three veins, and it's a bit overwhelming to serve as the defense of a city."

He replied while picking up vegetables, and to be honest, he didn't look frustrated.

"According to what he heard, it was said that a new guard from the innate realm would come over, which probably meant the Liangzhou camp."

Hong Fan was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it again, he felt it was reasonable.

"The two innate masters in Jinhai City are gone. It is indeed necessary to send a strong man to calm people's hearts."

As he spoke, he toasted Hong Fu.

With the current weight of the Hong family in Jinhai City, it really doesn't make much difference whether a single defensive position is won or not.

Everyone present except Hong Zhe, Aunt Liu and Big Tang are all warriors.

While chatting, a large table of food was quickly wiped out.

At the end of the banquet, when the remaining wine was almost gone, Hong Lie suddenly brought up another matter.

"By the way, before I came, my aunt asked me to ask Uncle Pan when he would go back."

"Why, it's only been three months, and this woman misses me?"

Hong Pan stopped his chopsticks and asked deliberately.

Everyone laughed.

"I don't know if you want Uncle Pan or not, but what Auntie means is that she thinks the time is right and she wants to get engaged for Amnesty."

Hong Lie continued.

"Engagement? That girl from the Chi family?"

Hong Pan raised his eyebrows and asked.

The matter involved the second son's lifelong event, and he took it seriously.

"It's Chi Gong's youngest daughter, Brother Hong's younger sister, Yi Yue, who falls in love with Brother She."

Hong Fu hurriedly replied.

"It's a coincidence. I originally planned to go to Jinhai in the next few days. If that's the case, I might as well go with you."

Hong Pan raised his head and looked at Hong Fan, and immediately made a decision.

Just at the beginning of June, the hydrocyclone was put in place at He's house.

Tianhe Bank initially began to operate.

At Hong Fan's request, Hong Panben was going back to Jinhai to report the future dividends, marrow washing pills, etc. to the clan.

The matter of Hong Amnesty just happened to happen.

After a meal, Xingsheng Hall closed, and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Arranging for the two clan brothers to live in the mansion, Hong Fan served him for another three months, prepared two pieces of silver for the boy and the maid who were about to be sent back to Hong Pan, and then went back to the room to rest.

Sitting in meditation and practicing, there was nothing to say all night.

On the second day, Hong Fan fell asleep after a long absence.

When he got up, the front hall had already changed its appearance.

The slightly dusty bookshelves were polished, and fresh roses were inserted in the vases.

A bristle wood toothbrush, powdered, stood on the corner of the table.

In the study room on the other side, a pair of framed ink characters are hung on the blank wall.

[Swordsmanship has become the king's hand, and there is a dragon to kill the dragon. 】

When Hong Fan saw it, he suddenly felt that he had returned to Jinhai.

At noon, he accompanied Hong Lie and Hong Fu out for lunch, and then sent them and Hong Pan and his party out of the city.

Back in the mansion, it was already Shenshichu (three o'clock in the afternoon).

The vestibule was empty.

Hong Fan walked quietly through the mansion and saw that everyone was busy.

Pink and Willow Green continued their morning work, putting back many old things brought from Jinhai.

As the new king of the kitchen, Aunt Liu is burning a fire and boiling a wok with hot oil.

As for the big soup, it is naturally in the stables.

After a long journey, Bentley is snoozing in a corner.

While eating bean cakes mixed with eggs, Hongqi enjoyed a massage with a hair brush.

Hong Fan smiled when he saw this, went to the martial arts arena, and continued to study Shunpo.

Soon, there was a muffled thunder, which made Bentley tremble all over.

An hour later, the sun set to the west.

Hong Fan cleaned up the mess and went to the backyard to wash up.

The home cotton shirts to be changed are placed on the table, all of which have been smoked by incense burners with pink willows and greens, with a soft lingering fragrance.

It's not time for dinner yet.

Hong Fan changed his military uniform, walked slowly into the side garden, and sat down in the pavilion.

The setting sun is embedded in the cornices.

The evening breeze is blowing, blowing half-dry hair.

In the wind, Hong Fan heard the familiar sound of chopping firewood and smelled the familiar aroma of stewed chicken.

He looked at the endless summer in the garden.

Although these flowers bloomed beautifully, they seemed distant and strange until yesterday.

"call……"

Take a deep breath into the wind.

Not long after, he leaned against the pavilion pillar and fell asleep—anyway, the chicken soup was ready, and Aunt Liu came to call.

Half asleep and half awake, Hong Fan heard the cooing of the pearl-necked turtledove from the wall.

It seemed to be the one I had seen in Jinhai courtyard.

······
June sixteenth.

In the early morning, Hong Fan waited in the front yard in person, and soon there were four guests.

They were the three Tiqi teammates and Wu Hongling.

They came here for team training.

Not surprisingly, future team training will be held in Chaori Mansion - this place is bigger, and it is far closer to Zhan Yuanzi and Bai Jiaci than to Si Ye's home.

The training content was the same as before, and the four of them used Hong Fan as the core of their tactics to deal with Wu Hongling's offensive.

This time, the team's performance has made great progress.

Except for Bai Jiaci who accidentally stepped on Hong Fan's quicksand trap and was sent out, the remaining three persisted until Wu Hongling's real energy was exhausted.

After a morning of hard training, lunch is at Xingsheng Hall as usual.

"This time, the director-general originally wanted to go to the third team."

Wu Hongling said, apologetically.

"But that guy Zhou Haoran worked really hard this time, he donated the two altars of good wine he treasured to the chief executive, and everyone couldn't compete with him."

"There is no reason for us to give priority to everything in the six teams of the state department."

Hong Fan laughed.

"And I heard that the job this time is not easy?"

"Well, this matter is worth [-] martial arts points, it's really not easy."

It was Wu Ruyi who answered.

With a thick slice of fried beef stuffed in her mouth, she puffed her cheeks like a squirrel.

"The location is in the direction of Xiaobai's hometown, Hongyi City. It is a request from the local county magistrate and captain..."

Wu Ruyi was stared at by her mother, and hurriedly chewed a few mouthfuls and tried to swallow before continuing to speak.

"It was a few powerful characters from Huaiyang Kingdom who integrated three or four bandits in the area, and it became a trend in an instant."

"The one at the beginning is nicknamed 'Bone Chewing', and he ranks 540 and [-]nd on the evil list!"

Hong Fan was surprised when he heard this.

This person's ranking is actually more than [-] places higher than that of "Da Ri Dao Lun".

In the battle of Hongduo Mountain, although Wan Guangji did not block Hong Jian's blow, even the man with the knife was burned to ashes.

But Hong Fan knew that it wasn't because he was too weak - Hong Jian looked sick at that time, and his reputation was mediocre, but in a real fight, he was more than just a natural four-in-one combat power?

PS: I went out and ordered some seafood, the taste is average.

Unexpectedly, when I got in the car and went home, my phone fell out of my pocket and smashed the screen on the curb.

This is not over yet.

I stroked the broken place with my hands, and was bleeding from the glass shards, screaming in pain.

numb.
