Lord of the Desert

Chapter 248 Jun Enzhong

After half a month.

In the 28th year of Zhenghe, September [-]th.

In the early morning, Aunt Liu made a special trip to make hand-rolled noodles, with two eggs lying in the noodles.

Hong Fan ate all the noodles one by one, and it was his birthday.

After breakfast, he cleaned up the study as usual.

A stack of unfinished manuscripts is placed in a cabinet after drying.

A short sword with a silver blade and a bright yellow grid was placed on the top shelf of the bookshelf.

This sword is named "Jun Enzhong", it is ranked the third grade, and it is marked with [-] martial arts points in the Wuxun Pavilion.

On the seventh day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shi Yuanwei broke through to the innate realm after three years of sympathy between heaven and man.

According to the Martial Arts Institute system, he should go to Shenjing to serve as Zishou Tianxiaqi and report directly to Guan Qimai.

As for the replacement of the Yuanci part of "Shen Xing Dian", the two will also make an independent contract.

Therefore, Shi Yuanwei exchanged the famous sword "Jun Enzhong" ten days ago and presented it to Hong Fan.

Dagger, calligraphy and painting, one by one belongs to everyone.

Hong Fan put on his outer robe, hairpin and crown, when he heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

It was Shen Hong who came over.

"Second Young Master, the Mr. Gong who visited yesterday has arrived, and the carriage is parked at the front door."

He bowed his hands slightly and reported.

Hong Fan nodded and strode out the door.

The carriage parked outside Asahi Mansion was exactly the one that had been to Jinhai City.

The whole body is dark black, the compartment is wide, and the corners are inlaid with jade.

However, although the carriage is as gorgeous as before, the two horses pulling the carriage are no longer mixed races.

Gong Heng waited beside the car, and boarded the car with Hong Fan.

The whip cracked.

The car drove slowly to the north of Dongcheng.

Next to the short ones, one long and one young sit cross-legged.

Half a year later, Gong Heng was still the same as before with fair complexion and flowing beard.

But there was a little nervousness in his thick black eyes.

"Gong Shibo doesn't need to worry."

Hong Fan laughed.

"Mr. Zhuang has a generous temperament. Since he has spoken before, he will not change his mind easily."

"Since he is willing to see Uncle Shi again today, the matter has been settled."

When Gong Heng heard this, his complexion eased a little.

"It all depends on the mediation of my nephew."

he said gratefully.

"This kindness, the Gong family will never forget it!"

"This is what I promised Shibo in Jinhai."

Hong Fan replied, drinking tea lightly.

"The Hong family is in Jinhai, and the Gong family is in Tongguang. They are two families and two cities; but when they come to Xijing, they are half of the same hometown."

"That's the truth!"

Gong Heng replied, adding tea courteously.

"By the way, in the past six months, has Shi Bo continued to work hard to the south?"

Hong Fan asked.

"Naturally there is."

Gong Heng replied with a sigh.

"It's just that in the situation of Huaiyang country, how can we use chalcedony?"

"Just this spring alone, there were three major wind disasters there, and several waterspouts along the Yao River."

"Natural disasters continue, not to mention man-made disasters?"

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth a bit.

"The king of Huaiyang began to patrol the four regions at the beginning of the year. Every time he entered and exited a city, he would lay out ten miles of silk blankets, and the trees lining the road were even decorated with colored satin to show his luxury."

"Before I came to Xijing, I just heard that there was a new apportionment. It was said that it was going to build a 'Mahayana Yu' and rob people everywhere..."

"So that's it?"

Hong Fan's expression changed upon hearing this.

"Why not?"

Gong Heng sneered.

"My virtuous nephew doesn't know that Huaiyang country can't even stay with bandits, let alone common people?"

These words immediately reminded Hong Fan of chewing bones.

The carriage bumped and arrived at Qizuo Prison not long after.

Things went more smoothly than expected.

In the presence of Hong Fan, Zhuang Liren just casually asked about the general situation of Tongguang Chalcedony, and then decided to cooperate.

Compared with the "Introduction to Optics" more than half a month ago, the procurement of raw materials is a trivial matter for him.

Afterwards, the three had lunch together.

When he went out after dinner, Gong Heng's eyes were no longer disturbed, his face was already full of red.

Back in the study of the supervisor, Hong Fan answered some calculation questions about Gaussian optics.

Just as he was about to leave, Zhuang Liren waved his hand to keep the guests.

"I still have a group of guests this afternoon."

he laughed.

"If you're not in a hurry, why don't you come and receive me?"

"Mr. Zhuang wants me to be your companion?"

Hong Fan's thoughts turned slightly, and he had a guess.

"The visitor knows me?"

"Exactly."

Zhuang Liren replied that he didn't give a damn.

"This is a guest of Asura Sect, and the team leader is Yuan Lingxue, a leader among the seventh-generation disciples. If there is no business with Patriarch Gong, I would have sent someone to invite you over."

"Why such a coincidence?"

Hong Fan was a little surprised.

"There is also cooperation between the State Department and the Asura Sect?"

"Originally there was none."

Zhuang Liren shook his head.

"But isn't there Tianhexing?"

"The output of the He Family's Xisui Pill was originally fixed, but now it has tripled. Naturally, many interested people are asking about the reason."

"Since the state department has taken the shares of Tianhe Bank, the He family is under pressure, can you not push the matter to my side?"

he quipped.

When Hong Fan heard this, he was suddenly taken aback.

Asura Sect is one of the four major sects in the world, and it is also the leading force in Liangzhou in terms of manufacturing martial arts pills—especially in terms of switching to cultivation methods, Zhuanlun Pill is almost the best choice.

It is inevitable that they will be interested in technologies such as hydrocyclone separation.

Similarly, this incident also proved the importance of his precautions in the first place.

Without the participation of Supervisor Qi Zuo, I am afraid that once Yuan Lingxue came to the house, the He family would have no choice but to reveal Hong Fan's existence.

"Since we are going to talk about Tianhexing today, what capacity should I meet them with?"

Hong Fan asked further.

"Of course not Tianhexing's identity, just say that he is my valued nephew."

Zhuang Liren replied.

He knew that Hong Fan agreed.

"I heard that when you opened the mountain, you refuted Yuan Lingxue's face; with me here today, it is not difficult to expose this matter."

Zhuang Liren talked about his own considerations.

"Asura Sect generally abides by the rules. If you can cooperate in the future, tell them your role."

"Once you have them as guarantors, Liangzhou is so big that you can control yourself!"

Zhuang Liren laughed.

Hong Fan nodded silently, feeling a little hot in his heart.

He could tell that the other party was planning for him wholeheartedly.

When I was young, Ah Nian came to report that a guest from the Shura Sect had arrived.

Zhuang Liren and Hong Fan went out to greet each other.

Outside the cement road, a group of people were led over.

The leader is Yuan Lingxue.

She was dressed in a purple military uniform, with vigorous steps and a hearty demeanor.

It's just that the Sichuan character line between the eyebrows seems to be getting deeper and deeper.

"Why don't Duke Zhuang go out to greet you, isn't it a shame for the younger generation?"

Yuan Lingxue cupped her hands from a distance, and smiled first.

"Now that you have been promoted to the head of foreign affairs in the Asura Sect, how can you not be more respectful?"

Zhuang Liren also laughed.

Yuan Lingxue turned her gaze to the second person who was beside her.

"This is Mr. Hong?"

"Senior Yuan, long time no see."

Hong Fan cupped his hands and saluted.

At this time, another person came out from behind Yuan Lingxue.

He is thin and thin, with a Taoist Maoyou hairpin on his arm, and the belt is tied casually, and it will fall off at any time.

Who else could it be if it wasn't "Little Fighting Emperor" Qu Luoyi?
