Lord of the Desert

Chapter 333
Hong Fan easily understood Qiu Yuankui's statement.

Similar to the overseas colonies of the British Empire during the national independence movement after World War II.

Similar to Afghanistan where US troops are stationed.

In terms of strength, the former can easily destroy and occupy the latter.

However, this kind of occupation is frivolous. Because it does not have basic middle and lower management capabilities, it has become a bottomless pit of blood loss.

In addition, Hong Fan could tell that Qiu Yuankui's disdain was not just directed at Wang Ting.

The second meaning he expressed was that most of the rebels, except for the Yum Victorious Army, were at best the products of chaos and did not have the will and ability to be enterprising.

"A few of them are coming here from Hanzhou and must cross the Yao River."

Xu Yuntao asked Wu Yuan and others.

"What's going on with the Dawan Gang over there?"

"It's better to occupy two county towns and barely manage."

Wu Yuan replied.

"The west side is topped by Tingshan Mountain, and the Leng family has heavenly beings on the east side, and Sun Longtou can't use it."

Xu Yuntao nodded and looked at Hong Fan: "Young Master Hong came from Pang County. I heard that he had an encounter with the Deshou Army?"

"It's not a good intersection."

Hong Fan smiled wryly.

"The third boss of Niutoushan is the secret agent of Qian Mianfeng. He led people to ambush me, but I killed him instead."

He only mentioned Hao Yong, not Gan Deshou.

"Can the head of the family be instigated by Qian Mianfeng to rebel?"

Xu Yuntao chuckled, the scar on his face becoming more and more conspicuous.

"I originally expected the Deshou Army to put some pressure on the Tang family from the west..."

"Yuntao, don't talk about other people's shortcomings."

Qiu Yuankui reminded me.

But there was also pride in his words.

A few days ago, Hong Fan might have thought like Xu Yuntao.

However, after seeing Tang Shaoyou take action today, he understood Gan Deshou's resentment more clearly at that time.

Stability is the basis of construction - no one would fill a barrel with holes in it.

If there is a hanging sword that can return everything to zero at any time, how many people can calm down and do things?

[The meaning of a Yuanci warrior is more than just Dui Zi. 】

Hong Fan thought and couldn't help but glance at Duan Tiannan who was chewing meat.

The latter immediately noticed his gaze.

"Brother Hong doesn't like my eating habits?"

He was as candid as ever.

Hong Fan shook his head.

"I just suddenly thought of Tang Shaoyou's Iron Scale Sword Formation in the afternoon."

"This is the first time that Master Yuanci has taken action against me."

He inhales deeply.

"A loud shout is like the color of heaven and earth."

"Not to mention those flying swords, which were so vague that it made me feel like I was naked facing the rainstorm, and I just felt that there was no way to escape."

Hong Fan's words inspired vivid memories of Wu Yuan and others.

Qiu Yuankui and Xu Yuntao obviously have personal experience.

The atmosphere at the table suddenly turned cold.

There was a clang.

Duan Tiannan threw the cleaned pork bones on the plate.

"Let me tell you, Mr. Tang's rape and murder skills are much better than mine."

He suddenly pressed down on the table with his hands full of lard, and looked straight at Hong Fan.

"So, are you afraid or regretful?"

Hong Fan was about to answer, but was robbed again.

"Brother Hong, if you have any regrets at all, I would advise you to go back and forth wherever you go;
No need to be embarrassed;
It won't hurt our friendship;
Don't blame me for relying on my old age - people in the world will follow the world's path, no matter what choice they make, but don't be blind to your own ideas just because someone is watching! "

Duan Tiannan's voice was obviously not high-pitched, but it caused the flames to swirl in all directions.

Even the chirping of insects is muted.

Hong Fan was startled when he heard this and was no longer eager to answer.

He closed his eyes for a moment until he could hear his own heartbeat clearly, then opened his eyes and replied.

"I'm a little scared, but I don't regret it."

Duan Tiannan breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good."

He slumped his back, reached out and picked up the second pig's trotter, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

On the other side, Hong Fan seemed to have taken off his shackles and drank a full glass of wine.

On the contrary, Qiu Yuankui, Xu Yuntao, even Ge Yun, Qin Juzheng and others were a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there was Chang Yimin at the table.

Although he was not a martial artist, he had been in the officialdom for a long time. He warmed up the place and regained the atmosphere by changing glasses several times.Only then did Hong Fan realize that there was a blind spot in today's banquet - Gu Yixin who was sitting on the right side of Duan Tiannan.

From the moment he sat down at the table, the former top talent ate his food honestly without opening his mouth once.

Others' cups were filled with boiled rice wine, but his cup was filled with cold water.

"Brother Gu, don't you drink?"

Hong Fan asked curiously.

Gu Yixin raised his thick eyebrows slightly when he heard someone calling his name.

He crushed the vegetable stick in his mouth with a few clicks and swallowed it, facing Hong Fan straightly before replying.

"I drank once before practicing martial arts and got drunk quickly; I can drink it after practicing martial arts."

The reply was carefully spoken, as if he was answering a question.

"Does that mean you don't like rice wine?"

Hong Fan asked again.

"It's hard to say whether you like it or not."

Gu Yixin actually thought for a while before answering.

"But one pound of rice produces only two pounds of wine. Thinking of wasting food makes me feel uncomfortable."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Yuan and others who were drinking happily turned red instantly.

"Ashamed, ashamed!"

Wen Kaige hurriedly put down the wine bottle, as if his hand had been burned.

"What the ancient spear chief taught me is..."

Hearing this, Gu Yixin was also surprised.

"I'm talking about me, not you."

He waved his hands again and again.

"The "Buddha Vajra Canon" says, 'Whether there is an increase or decrease is all created by the mind'."

"I feel uncomfortable drinking, that's why I don't drink. This is my own fault. How can I use my heart to influence his heart?"

The ancient meanings and new meanings are said very seriously, and the words are paused when quoting scriptures, giving people a special sense of dullness.

Because of this, Wu Yuan and others immediately knew that he was sincere.

So those who drank at the table still drank water, and those who drank still drank.

Then, Hong Fan couldn't help scratching his mind and asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time: "Brother Gu, when you visited Tianpeng Mountain that day, what did Qu Luoyi say to you?"

"what?"

This question was indeed beyond Gu Yixin’s expectations and attracted the attention of everyone at the table.

He thought about it a lot.

"I was paying my respects to the head of the Shura Sect and the leaders, when suddenly there was a commotion outside, and it was Junior Brother Qu who barged in from outside the door."

【This is the taste. 】

Hong Fan nodded slightly.

"Senior Sister Yuan Lingxue, who was responsible for welcoming me in, immediately turned pale."

Gu Yixin added.

[As expected. 】

Hong Fan nodded again.

"and then?"

he asked urgently.

"When I think about it, it seems that when Junior Brother Qu saw me, he blurted out that I looked like a spatula."

Gu Yixin scratched the back of his neck and showed an embarrassed smile.

"hiss……"

Everyone, including Duan Tiannan, took a breath.

"Wow, Qu Luoyi is really not a son of a man, no wonder you are angry!"

Hong Fan slapped the table and used a rare modal particle.

"I am not angry……"

The ancient meaning is new but the way is new.

"I went back to the water tank and took a photo, and what he said was true."

"Brother Gu, just be angry when you are angry. People have to be pretentious in life."

Duan Tiannan smiled and patted his short coat with his big, oily hands.

"If you weren't angry, you would have sparred with him later and stabbed him three times and six times?"

"I'm really not angry."

The ancient meanings and the new ones are broken down seriously.

"Headmaster Li proposed that his disciples compete with me, and Junior Brother Qu was the first to step forward."

"But I saw that Junior Brother Qu was weak, so I told the truth and didn't want to bully him."

"Ning Shouzuo originally agreed."

"I didn't expect that Junior Brother Qu was rolling on the ground screaming and insisting on fighting me..."

He said with a simple wry smile.
