Lord of the Desert

Chapter 298 The Book of War
April killed March, and there was the first day of April.

Su Mansion in Xijing.

The servants avoided the roadside, lowered their faces in fear, and bowed to the young master.

The burly man strode across the path with his fiancée in his arms.

It wasn't until his figure turned the corner that they dared to reach out and slap away the stench from their mouths and noses.

The Fubo Gang has disappeared.

The Ao family does not know where they are.

Now that Hong Fan has defeated Shen Tiexin, how can the Shen family respect Ao Zhixian's body anymore?
Before dawn today, she was covered with a straw mat, transported out of the city on a cart, and dumped in a mass grave.

When the news reached the Su Mansion, Su Peifeng went out without saying a word.

Are you the only person Ao Zhixian can count on?
This question he was unwilling to answer until yesterday.

Today the answer was engraved into his flesh and blood.

The door of the house was wide open and was not closed when I left.

There were two invitations open on the table, signed with Shen Tiexin's name, but not in Shen Tiexin's handwriting.

The curtains of the bed are raised with gold hooks.

The plain white brocade quilt was brand new and she had never laid on it before.

Su Peifeng bent his knees and carefully put Ao Zhixian down.

Only seven hours had passed since Hong Fan's attack last night.

The weather was still warm in late spring and the body had not yet decayed.

What lingered was the stench of blood.

Su Peifeng seemed unaware.

He sat by the bed for a moment, feeling his heart congested and uncomfortable. Then he went to the closet to get a brocade handkerchief and covered Ao Zhixian's broken neck.

The pain is hidden.

"It's none of my business if you insist on coming back even though you left..."

Su Peifeng complained in a low voice.

He averted his eyes and tried to defend himself in his mind.

He talks about how he was first scorned, then manipulated, and finally ordered to leave everything behind and follow her.

As expected, Su Peifeng felt resentment rising again in his heart.

But this resentment is so clear that it has been washed away by time.

The dignified red-faced god was at his wits end at this moment.

Resigned to his fate, he took out the broken gold chain from his arms, tore it into two pieces, and put them on each of their wrists.

Holding his fiancée's cold hand, Su Peifeng tried to recall her face.

In a daze, he seemed to have left the cramped room and saw Ao Zhixian's younger years.

She went hiking in the mountains.

She was laughing in the wine shop.

She danced under the lanterns.

Then, a discordant sound came from the door, shattering the illusion.

"Master?"

Su Peifeng turned around and saw the housekeeper of Su Mansion and his maid Yanran.

"Master, I'm calling you to come over."

The butler bowed slightly and said at the door.

It seemed that the blood in the room was too heavy and he didn't want to come in.

Su Peifeng stood up, his expression as heavy as a sculpture.

"Go to Asahi Mansion and declare a battle for me. Three days later at Youshi (five o'clock in the afternoon), I will fight to the death with Hong Fan on the Xianzun Bridge."

He walked up to the housekeeper and said erratically.

"Master, what is this? The Ao family has fallen, and she is about to commit a crime..."

Yanran suddenly became anxious.

She said what was in her heart at once.

Before he finished speaking, Su Peifeng pinched his neck.

A click.

The cervical vertebrae were broken like reeds.

"Did you hear what I said?"

The body of the maid fell to the ground.

The butler turned pale with fright.

What he wanted to call just now was the bastard of the Su family.

Unexpectedly, there was only the red-faced god in the courtyard.

"Understood, understood!"

The housekeeper said in panic and fell to the ground.

Su Peifeng ignored him, closed the door, and returned to the house.

“Xiao Yu’er, you always like to wear red dresses;

Even the last part of my body must be dyed by myself..."

Laughter came from behind the door.

When the people outside the door heard this, they were so frightened that the hairs on their hair counted down, and they crawled out of the yard.

······
In the afternoon of the same day.

The sun shines on the slightly humid streets, and the aroma of green buds and earth rises.

Yesterday's heavy rain made Mingyue Tower look beautiful.

After such a big incident, Shen Tiexin's three-day banquet couldn't go on.

Therefore, Wangjiang Alley is full of customers today.

The east wind blows from the Yao River, rolling the hair of the dancing girl.

The hem of the skirt rotates and flowers bloom on the carpet.

In Mingyue Tower today, there is a name all over the wind.

"Hong Fan..."

Bai Taiping drank strong wine.

He didn't know how many times he imagined the knife attack last night in his mind.

So fast, so fierce.So much so that even the family heirloom Panshi Dian seems to be nothing more than this.

"I can't believe it. Who would have thought that he would dare to kill people in Wuzhen Garden?"

Jiang Wenbai sighed.

"Xijing is such a big place, this is the first time I have seen someone dare to offend the Shen family like this!"

Many people nodded at the table.

"Brother Jiang, it's not that mysterious, right?"

Lin Yongchang replied, quite disapproving.

"Hong Fan is a Tiqi, and he has Xu Guinian from the Zhangwu Academy to support him..."

"That's easy for you to say."

Bai Taiping glanced at him.

Since July last year, he has heard people around him say bad things about Hong Fan countless times, and he has often participated in it.

But for some reason, hearing this sentence today felt particularly harsh.

"If you become a Tiqi, you will be protected by gods. Can you offend the Shen family? Why don't you give it a try?"

Bai Taiping jabbed, then poured himself a glass of wine.

The wine seems stronger.

The knife in my heart seemed to be faster.

"I can't take it."

He lowered his head and sighed suddenly.

"What did Brother Bai say?"

Jiang Wenbai didn't understand and asked.

"I mean Hong Beom's Shunpo."

Bai Taiping responded calmly.

"The first time I chopped off my scalp, the second time I chopped off Ao Zhixian's head."

Speaking of this, he no longer felt ashamed.

not only that.

What a noble demeanor and literary demeanor, now that he thinks about it, even he himself finds it funny.

"A distinguished family, rich in gold and purple..."

"Every man was angry, blood spattered five steps."

After Bai Taiping finished speaking, he seemed to feel uncomfortable, so he simply grabbed the wine bottle and poured it down his throat.

There was a sigh during the dinner.

Only Lin Yongchang was still dissatisfied.

"I think some of my brothers think highly of him!"

He picked up a piece of beef tendon and chewed it into his mouth.

"Shen Tiexin was splattered with blood. I heard that she was so frightened that she cried."

"In these years, when has this aunt ever suffered such a loss?"

"I think this matter is not over yet. The Shen family can't just let it go!"

Lin Yongchang said decisively, but he did not get the echo he imagined.

"Yongchang, it seems you didn't know this before you left home."

It was Jiang Wenbai who answered.

"As for what happened at noon, it was said that Shen Tiexin has been grounded at home."

"Then Shen Guoying personally went to Zhangwuyuan to visit Xu Guinian."

"This time, the Shen family should have admitted defeat."

he concluded.

"This……"

Lin Yongchang was speechless.

"Yongchang, stop thinking about some things."

Jiang Wenbai advised.

"It's not just Hong Fan who dares to take five steps in Wuzhen Garden with blood splattered on him."

"The person who accompanied him to the table last night was Qu Luoyi, and the person who blocked his sword was Zhuang Liren."

"I heard that he also used Dark Tide, Dark Sun and Lightning Fire."

"Hong Fan is someone you really can't mess with."

Jiang Wenbo concluded, giving the waiter a gesture to add more wine.

Bai Taiping added coldly.

"Although you can't mess with them, they are good friends."

Even Lin Yongchang couldn't refute this.

At this time, the noise started from downstairs and gradually overwhelmed Sizhu.

Soon new news reached the table.

"Three days later, Su Peifeng asked Hong Fan to fight to the death at Xianzun Bridge, and he just sent the battle invitation?!"

Everyone was shocked.

"Brother Jiang, I'm sorry."

After a moment, Bai Taiping said suddenly.

"I may not be able to go to your sister's wedding in three days."

The rest of the people at the table were moved when they heard the words, and they obviously had the same intention.

Jiang Wenbai waved his hand violently when he saw this.

"I have more than one sister, and my sister may not have only one wedding..."

He stood up suddenly.

"The most important thing is to send someone in advance to book the whale rider's room!"

PS:

What was Hong Fan’s nickname when he was on the Prodigy List?

It's urgent, it's critical.

Ask for suggestions and advice, don’t be “just because” in the desert.
