Lord of the Desert

Chapter 220 Friendship
The weather was already sweltering.

The guests in the casino dared not play any more, and couldn't go out, grinning from the heat.

Two quarters of an hour later, the leader of the Xionghao Gang finally arrived, followed by the guardians and the guys who went to report the news.

"Several masters, why are you here?"

He howled from a distance, taking three steps and two steps up.

Hong Fan looked up and saw that this man was tall and dark-skinned, maybe he came in a hurry, he didn't even put on the brocade clothes neatly, his chest was exposed with black hair.

No wonder there is a nickname of "Hao Gui".

"My humble man, Gan Mao, is called Haogui in Taoism, and he is promoted by his brothers to sit at the top of the Xionghao Gang."

Haogui cupped his hands and announced his name first.

"I don't know how to offend a few masters, but is there any misunderstanding?"

He looked around, skipping the indifferent Zhan Yuanzi and the frizzy Bai Jiaci, and stopped at Wu Ruyi for a moment.

Just when she praised this Hao Gui for his vision and was about to reply, Hao Gui's gaze turned to Hong Fan.

Hong Fan got up and was about to answer, but Bai Jiaci on the other side gritted his teeth and went to meet him first.

"There are so many misunderstandings."

Holding the knife in one hand, he smiled.

"Master is here for Xingshengtang, and he is looking for the Xionghao Gang!"

Hao Gui immediately understood.

"This is really a misunderstanding."

He apologized with a smile.

"Gentlemen, we are old friends with Manager Zhao of Xingshengtang, we have always taken care of each other..."

"fart!"

Bai Jiaci said coldly and forcibly interrupted.

"Yesterday your people brought knives to blackmail, and blocked the gate of Xingsheng Hall when they saw that things were not going to happen, ruining the business; at that time, the young master was eating in the building!"

"That's because the people below don't understand the rules!"

Hao Gui immediately cried out.

"Our Xionghao Gang collects money, but also handles affairs."

"With our protection, the idlers from other places will not dare to come and make trouble. If there are drunkards who get mad, they can also report the name of 'Hog Ghost', and the matter will be settled..."

Bai Jiaci just disdains upon hearing the words
"What a joke!"

He gave a thumbs up and tapped the moire on his chest.

"Why, is your reputation as a big ghost better than the silk clothes I'm wearing, my lord? I can't take care of you?"

After hearing this, Hao Gui dared not answer.

Hong Fan smiled when he heard that.

He already understood Bai Jiaci's thoughts, so he stood aside and let him fully exert himself.

"I don't want to listen to your nonsense."

Bai Jiaci's forehead was covered with sweat, but he raised his chin and took a step forward.

"I don't care about it in the past. I just said that last year and this year, you took 120 taels of silver from Xingsheng Hall, and you have to give it to me!"

The ghost is getting more and more difficult.

"Young hero puts out the fire first, there is really a misunderstanding about this..."

He dared not ride a bull with the four red ribbons.

"So that the masters know that Gan has been in the Fubo Gang for five years before he started the Xionghao Gang."

"The two hall masters of Bihai Hall and Jinlin Hall and I have had a life-long friendship, and I have been praised by Master Ao."

"When the young gang leader was listed on the Tianjiao list, Gan also got an invitation to have a banquet..."

Seeing the ghost gossip, Bai Jiaci finally got impatient.

"Ask you one, two, three, and you say four, five, six."

He held the handle of the knife and pushed forward half a step.

"120 taels of silver, is there any?"

"You have two choices now, either to pay back the money, or to invite the young master you are talking about..."

"Otherwise, I will come to your gambling house every day to enjoy the cool in the future!"

At the moment when the two confronted each other, the customers in the gambling house and pawn shop hurriedly left through the front door as if they had been pardoned.

There is also a red flag that has seized the opportunity.

It glanced at Hong Fan calmly, shrunk its head, entered the house through the front door, and opened another battlefield.

Hearing the exclamation of the cashier and staff in the gambling house, and the sound of tables and chairs overturning, the ghost finally gave in—he knew many tricks in the world, but these moves couldn't touch Ti Qi.

Five 20 taels of silver bills and four [-] taels of silver ingots were quickly handed over to Bai Jiaci.

After the matter was over, Hong Fan whistled for his mount to come out.

Before going out, Hong Qi raised her tail and left soaked horse manure at the main entrance.

Before leaving, Bai Jiaci made a special trip to find Haogui.

"Young Master Bai Jiaci, Tiqi in charge of the Martial Arts Academy; if you refuse to accept, come and find me anytime!"

He finished speaking word by word, never mentioning Hong Fan or his relationship with Xingshengtang.

"It won't be so easy to find Xingshengtang in the future."

Hao Gui couldn't get angry when he heard the words, so he surrendered in frustration.

The four of them left Pipa Lane immediately, returned the benches to the wine shop, and left some extra money.

It wasn't until he left the boundary of the Xionghao Gang that Bai Jiaci let out a sigh of relief and gave Hong Fan 120 taels of silver.

Hong Fan accepted without hesitation, and thanked him.

Bai Jiaci, who was still aggressive just now, is now looking forward to it.

"This, this is all as it should be, how can I keep eating and drinking with you?"

He scratched his scalp.

"Besides, I didn't do much, anyway, it's something you can do yourself..."

"different."

Hong Fan looked at him and replied seriously.

"Even if they are all the same silver, but with this friendship, the weight is different!"

Bai Jiaci didn't know how to reply when he heard the words, and saw Zhan Yuanzi's playful eyes beside him, so he had to turn his head away.

However, his steps were visibly quicker.

The crowd led their horses and walked out half a street.

At this time, Bai Jiaci suddenly looked at Hong Fan.

"Hong Fan, just call me by my name from now on. Brother Bai and Brother Jiaci, it makes me feel uncomfortable."

Hong Fan smiled and nodded.

Wu Ruyi walked aside with her hands behind her back, quietly watching the teammates who became more and more harmonious.

As the leader of the same team, Shi Yuanwei, Lu Yunshi and others have always treated her with a pleasant face.

But Wu Ruyi also knew that in their bones they didn't feel that they were qualified to keep pace with them.

Until she was assisted by Hong Fan, the team got on the right track, and life began to live happily.

[Sure enough, as the script says, talents are the rarest. 】

【Hong Fan called me Ruyi, just to take advantage of words, I am still his captain after all...】

Wu Ruyi wanted to clear the key, but it seemed like she had won a battle, and she felt very satisfied.

······
Two days later, June eighteenth.

Hong Fan closed the door of the martial arts arena.

The cicada tactfully stopped singing.

The clever birds in the Asahi Mansion began to flee.

On the stone table, two new sheets of paper were pressed by a wooden box.

"Shunpo V1.0" is written on the top, followed by "The 1st Test:".

The content is not yet populated.

Hong Fan moved his joints and stood at the familiar starting position.

Shaliu flew up, putting on his armor and saber for him.

Compared with the pre-research, the shape of the armor is generally similar, except that the knees and wrists have additional reinforcements.

Holding sand blades in both hands, Hong Fan concentrated his gaze on the iron rod with a diameter of an inch standing 15 meters away.

Salamander peristalsis, air sinus aggregation.

The power array is relatively primitive, with experience-based optimization.

The tendons of the knife returned to normal, and the thunder suddenly broke out.

It takes only a moment to cross five feet.

The wrist armor is solidified, and the knife is swung to slash.

At the moment of the wrong body, the sand blade exploded suddenly.

The torn-off half of the iron rod spiraled into the air, and finally plunged into the ground.

The humming stopped now.

Two steps away from the courtyard wall, Hong Fan resisted the dizziness that hit him repeatedly, and stood firmly on the rammed earth.
