Chapter 101: Hunting
July in the desert is the season of the heat wave, and it is also the season when the melons and fruits in the desert are put on the shelves;
The heat wave of the fire, Zhuang Feng was also a little unbearable, originally to take advantage of the freshness of melons and fruits to enjoy it, but the three parties of Huangzhou, Yanzhou and Haozhou actually wanted to take advantage of this season to invite Zhuang Feng to go hunting in Luoyue Lake;
"It's okay for you to say that this Li Zhan is young, but that Zhao Yun is also a person who has passed the year of the Mandate of Heaven, and he can still toss and hunt in this season, where does his body and bones come from?" Zhuang Feng followed the invitation reached by the three parties, and said there quite unpleasantly;
On this July day, he went hunting in Luoyue Lake, which made Zhuang Feng really painful;
Luoyue Lake is located in the south of Huozhou County, Huzhou, and the distance from this Mofu is not too far, but it is also one of the hottest places in this Jinguo, especially in the summer of July, the temperature can reach a maximum of fifty plus temperature, and running to hunt in this season is purely looking for abuse;
"Who can blame that, you let others choose the place, and you can do whatever you want;" Listening to Zhuang Feng's complaints, Xia Yu continued to talk jokingly;
"If you are beaten, you must stand upright, and if you are wrong, you must admit it;" Wu Biao said jokingly while learning from Zhuang Feng's serious appearance;
"Don't do this, I just complained twice, and I didn't say no;" Zhuang Feng looked at Xia Yuwubiao's joking appearance, and said angrily there;
"It is more than 200 kilometers away from Huzhou City, more than 500 kilometers away from Mofu, desert grassland, saline-alkali meadow, the temperature is high enough to make a large-scale march, it is impossible to set up ambushes, but there are many wild things, it is indeed a good place for hunting;" Wu Biao no longer paid attention to Zhuang Feng's complaints, and said naturally there;
"I'm pretty good at choosing places;" Zhuang Feng listened to Wu Biao's words and said there;
Xia Yu knew that this Zhuang Feng was just talking, and he would not give up for some reason, so he didn't say anything more, and said there: "Who will you take this time?"
"Master Wu stays behind, let's just go;" Zhuang Feng said casually;
Listening to Zhuang Feng's words, Xia Yu thought about it for a while, and then said loudly: "When will Li Lei arrive?"
Zhuang Feng and Xia Yu said that the guards who followed Zhuang Feng to this desert now have Li Lei, and they probably guessed that Zhuang Feng had other arrangements;
With Xia Yu's words, Zhuang Feng didn't explain anything, but just said casually: "Regardless of him, I don't know if I'm fascinated by the girls there, just let Zhang Chao follow;"
"Well, okay;" Wu Biao listened to Xia Yu and Zhuang Feng talking there, and didn't ask anything more;
Zhuang Feng nodded, and Xia Yu also agreed with Zhuang Feng's arrangement;
In the early morning of the next day, Zhuang Feng and Xia Yu accompanied Zhang Chao with a standard guard, and set off from Mofu;
The convoy of Mofu was marching in the hottest season of the desert, and the heat wave, and after noon, the weather was already as hot as a fire;
Xia Yu looked at Zhuang Feng's obviously tired appearance, and there was some inexplicable feeling in his heart;
This is only 500 kilometers from Mofu to Luoyue Lake, Zhuang Feng is already a little unbearable when he sits in the car; think about that year, it is also such a season, Zhuang Feng can also get a broken car off-road to chase wild camels, hunt fierce lynx;
It is said that time can change everything, and now this time has also changed the style;
Xia Yu's mind was flying, Zhuang Feng may be overtired, drowsy and spiritless;
Arriving at the periphery of Luoyue Lake, the convoy stopped;
The convoy stopped, Zhang Chao was on guard according to standard procedures, and at the same time sent messengers to contact the three parties of Huangzhou, Yanzhou and Haozhou;
Zhang Chao was doing his own thing, and Xia Yu didn't bother to intervene, but just woke up Zhuang Feng there;
"Have you arrived?" Zhuang Feng woke up and asked the person there reluctantly;
Xia Yu watched Zhuang Feng's reaction, handed him a cigarette there, and then said, "It's here, Zhang Chao is in contact;"
Zhuang Feng naturally took the cigarette handed to him by Xia Yu, burned it habitually, and inhaled it deeply with a rather enjoyable appearance, without saying anything;
When Zhuang Feng was burning a cigarette, Zhang Chao walked to Zhuang Feng's car and said, "Brother Tiger;"
Zhuang Feng nodded, and responded neatly: "Say;"
"Zhao Yun of Huangzhou, Liu Hankun of Yanzhou, and Li Zhan of Haozhou have all arrived, and the standard guards are armed, and they are camped in Fengsui in Yuebei on the north bank;" Zhang Chao said formulaically;
Listening to Zhang Chao's words, Zhuang Feng just nodded;
Zhang Chao looked at Zhuang Feng's reaction and continued: "There are no other armed forces within thirty miles, there have been traces of battle on the side of Luonan Fengsui, according to Zhao Yun's words, it is to expel the poachers there;"
There are still a lot of wild things in Luoyue Lake, and naturally there will be poachers; the Luonan and North Fengsui are located on the north and south banks of Luoyue Lake, which belong to that ancient thing, and have become the stronghold of those poachers after the passage of time;
Zhuang Feng listened to Zhang Chao's report, and probably understood that the tripartite characters of Zhao Yun in Huangzhou, Liu Hankun in Yanzhou, and Li Zhan in Haozhou were doing security affairs and camping in Yuebei, which was also reasonable;
Thinking of this, Zhuang Feng didn't say anything more, and simply replied: "Well, let's go;"
With Zhuang Feng's words, Zhang Chao left and continued to move forward;
It didn't take long for Zhuang Feng to see the camp of Yuebei Fengsui Nazha on the north shore of Naluoyue Lake;
With the arrival of Zhuang Feng, Zhao Yun of Huangzhou, Liu Hankun of Yanzhou, and Li Zhan of Haozhou also brought some people to greet them politely;
When Zhuang Feng got out of the car, he saw Zhao Yun, Liu Hankun, Li Zhan and others standing under Yuebei Fengsui surrounded by a group of people, all of them with that sincere false smile;
Zhuang Feng looked at Zhao Yun, Liu Hankun, Li Zhan and others, and was stunned for a moment, not only Zhuang Feng, but even Xia Yu and Zhang Chao were stunned for a moment, looking at the man next to Zhao Yun with some doubts, but he didn't stop at this step, and walked over there;
"Zhao Ye, Liu Ye, the demeanor is still the same;" Zhuang Feng was also smiling, greeting him warmly;
Although Zhuang Feng was talking, he was looking at the man next to Zhao Yun who was the same age as Zhuang Feng;
Zhuang Feng's reaction, Zhao Yun naturally saw it in his eyes, but he didn't show more, but with Zhuang Feng's words, Zhao Yun and Liu Hankun said politely there: "Heh, Brother Tiger is in his prime, we are all old guys;"
Zhuang Feng smiled and said, "Who is this?"
I don't know if Zhuang Feng asked the person next to Zhao Yun or the other people he asked, but it was Li Zhan who continued to say there: "I, Li Zhan, have seen Brother Tiger;"
Compared with Zhao Yun, Li Zhan is a junior figure, and Zhuang Feng is considered to be the same generation, and his age is almost the same, but when Zhuang Feng made a name for himself in this desert mansion, he did not deal with Li Zhan;
Looking at Zhuang Feng's appearance of pretending to be crazy, Li Zhan didn't believe that Zhuang Feng would not recognize him, but he didn't have any unusual expression, and said to the person there quite confidently;
"Xiao Zhan, it's so old, I remember that when I hunted with Ling Zun in the autumn, I was still young and vigorous, and in the blink of an eye, it was so graceful, and it was really urging people by the years;" Zhuang Feng looked at Li Zhan and said pretending there;
Li Zhan looked at Zhuang Feng, who was obviously not a few years older than himself, but he wanted to pretend to be an elder, and his face changed a little there, but he also suppressed it, and there was no more performance;
Although Zhuang Feng is not a few years older than Li Zhan, but in this desert back then, Zhuang Feng was indeed compared with Zhao Yun, Liu Hankun and Li Zhan's father Li Long, which Li Zhan understood, so he forcibly suppressed his unhappiness;
"Yes, the years are urging people, how many years have we not been together;" Zhao Yun also continued to talk there;
"It's rare to get together, go inside and have a good drink;" Liu Hankun continued;
With Liu Hankun's words, Zhuang Feng had nothing to be polite about, although it was not in line with the safety rules to walk into the camp of a strange or hostile opponent, but in this fifty plus temperature, no one wanted to stand in the sun and dry the mold, and Zhuang Feng was unwilling;
Don't look at this as a camping account, but there is no shortage of things that should be there, even the air conditioner;
In today's Jinguo, the life of these families is really a bit extravagant;
The temperature outside is fifty upwards, the big tent is as cool as spring, and there are fresh melons and fruits, chilled grapes and wine, which can be regarded as enjoyment;
Zhuang Feng and Xia Yu entered the big tent to sit down, and naturally there were maids holding the corresponding things and delicacies;
"Toast to the reunion after a long absence;" The maid poured wine with the place, and Liu Hankun said to the person there quite enthusiastically;
"Excuse me, now my body is not good, I can't drink wine;" Zhuang Feng said disheartenedly;
With Zhuang Feng's words, Liu Hankun was stunned for a moment, Zhuang Feng's words were obviously not giving face;
Although there is no friendship now, or Zhuang Feng has no friendship with them from the beginning to the present, but the things on that side, there must be something, and what Zhuang Feng means is that there is no need for anything on this side, which makes Liu Hankun a little unhappy;
However, Liu Hankun is also a character who has been meeting for a long time, and he immediately reacted and continued: "Brother Tiger, you desert tiger, you can't be like this;"
"Look at me;" Zhuang Feng said with a smile on his face;
With Zhuang Feng's words, Liu Hankun looked at Zhuang Feng with some doubts, not only Liu Hankun, but also Zhao Yun and Li Zhan looked at Zhuang Feng with some doubts;
Zhuang Feng looked at Zhao Yun, Liu Hankun and Li Zhan all with a puzzled look, and said with a smile: "Look at the tiredness on my face, I am so tired that I can't drink;"
As soon as Zhuang Feng finished saying this, Zhao Yun, Liu Hankun and Li Zhan suddenly couldn't help the sincere false face on their faces, and changed their stunned appearance with there, they had never seen Zhuang Feng so funny;
Xia Yu looked at Zhuang Feng and pretending to be crazy there, as well as the reaction of Zhao Yun, Liu Hankun, and Li Zhan, and couldn't help but chuckle there;
Xia Yu's reaction made Zhao Yun, Liu Hankun and Li Zhan feel a little embarrassed there, and they also reacted that this Zhuang Feng was teasing them;
"Brother Hu, you're wrong, years of friendship are ...... like this" After Liu Hankun reacted, he wanted to say something to resolve the embarrassment, but he couldn't finish the words, because Xia Yu laughed with him again;
In the face of Xia Yu's untimely laughter, Zhao Yun and Li Zhan both looked at Xia Yu there, and their faces were also slightly angry;
Zhuang Feng said that, but although this Xia Yu has a name, there is no Xia Yu to speak in front of him;
"Brother Hu, your people ......" Li Zhan said loudly with the anger he said, but he was still interrupted;
The person who interrupted Li Zhan was no longer Xia Yu's laughter, but Zhuang Feng;
"I want to ask Zhao Ye, but I don't know but I don't know how to say this;" Zhuang Feng said to himself;
"Brother Tiger is polite to me, and he has something to say;" Zhao Yun said with a smile to the other person;
"Then you're welcome;" Zhuang Feng replied, paused and continued, "Who is that person behind you?"
Following Zhuang Feng's words, Liu Hankun and Li Zhan both turned their heads to look at Zhao Yun, or at the person standing behind Zhao Yun;
Liu Hankun and Li Zhan originally didn't pay much attention to the person next to Zhao Yun, thinking that it was just a confidant of Zhao Yun, but they didn't expect Zhuang Feng to pay attention to such a person;
The one behind Zhao Yun belongs to the kind of typical man in this desert, with a rough and resolute face sharpened by the wind and sand of this desert, which is a typical tough guy according to the prevailing aesthetic standards;
Such people can be seen everywhere in this desert, Liu Hankun naturally didn't pay much attention to it, and Li Zhan just glanced at it;
Now with Zhuang Feng's words, Zhao Yun is still smiling there, it seems that Zhuang Feng's reaction is what he expected, and he said there in a tone of Zhizhu: "Qin Ai, I haven't seen Brother Tiger yet;"
Following Zhao Yun's words, Qin Ai walked out from behind Zhao Yun, saluted Zhuang Feng very naturally, and said at the same time: "I've seen Brother Tiger;"
Zhuang Feng looked at Qin Ai, who looked calm, and his face suddenly became a little ugly, as if he was forcibly suppressing his anger;
Qin Ai was originally Qin Dongqin's cousin, when the old man Qin was seriously ill, Qin Ai's father Qin Qi launched a rebellion to seize the position of the head of the Qin family;
Qin Ai's father Qin Qi is the brother of the old man Qin, and he is also the only brother in the old man Qin's generation who survived the turmoil;
Originally, this Qin Qi was also supportive and obedient to the old man Qin, after all, when the old man Qin took over the family, he Qin Qi was still young, and he was not qualified to fight for the position of the head of the family, or the side branches of the family like Qin Qi did not know what the most fundamental inheritance of the family was, but they knew that their Qin family had a good family background in this desert, and if it was a big family business;
Therefore, the two brothers, Old Man Qin and Qin Qi, have to support each other through this life, and they can be regarded as brothers with one heart and one mind, until the old man Qin is seriously ill and has no cure;
Old man Qin has no sons, only two daughters, the eldest daughter is Qin Dongqin, the second daughter Qin Qing, but this Qin Qi has a son;
According to the family tradition, this family should be inherited by a man with priority, but this old man Qin focuses on cultivating Qin Dongqin when he is a child, although this old man Qin is a little ruthless to Qin Dongqin and Wu Biao*, but in Qin Qi's eyes, it is to cultivate Qin Dongqin as an heir, and this martial standard is the son-in-law of the old man Qin;
Maybe when Qin Dongqin was a child, Qin Qi didn't have any special ideas, after all, Qin Dongqin was still young at that time, and the old man Qin was also in the prime of life;
Originally, there was nothing about it, their generation came from the war era, and it is understandable that this wife has a deep affection, or this old man Qin is also an old woman, and he doesn't have the energy to marry another woman;
These Qin Qi are understandable, but this Qin Qi is also old and has children, so the question about the family heir is somewhat interesting;
Qin Dongqin, the eldest daughter of the old man Qin, according to tradition, it is considered a blood line, but after all, she is just a girl, and he Qin Qi has a son;
Until a serious illness of the old man Qin, although the old man Qin recovered well after the illness, but after all, this is an elderly person, and his energy is not as good as day by day, so his control of the family is not as good as before;
Maybe Qin Qi also started from that time, and he saw the opportunity, and intentionally or unintentionally began to mention the matter of the family heir, but this old man Qin never gave any clear answer, just casually perfunctory; at the same time, he asked Qin Dongqin to start handling some family affairs instead of Old Man Qin;
In this regard, Qin Qi keenly felt the intention of the old man Qin, and at the same time made a decision, since the old man Qin wanted a girl to take over the family, then his son Qin Qi was not born for nothing? Moreover, this family has always been taken over by a man, when will it be a girl's turn to take over the family?
If Qin Dongqin really took over the family, then there was no one in the Qin family outside, and Qin Qi, who had such an idea, began to plan his son Qin Ai to take over the family;
However, this Qin Qi is not too anxious; as for the reason, after all, this is a brother who has supported each other all his life, and this thing can't be done too much; at the same time, this is also because the situation after the old man Qin's illness is not as good as day by day, and he can't survive for a few years when he looks like that;
Therefore, Qin Qi's idea is to wait until the old man dies before he does it, one is because of brotherhood, and the other is because Qin Dongqin is just a girl after all, as long as the old man Qin goes, it is justified for a man to take over the family, and it will not cause too much turmoil;
After all, this family business can be regarded as the restoration of his single-handedness, and it can even be said that the reason why the Qin family can have the current power is because of the hard work of the old man Qin; therefore, the old man Qin has absolute authority over the control of the family, and the old man Qin is also well aware of any changes in the family;
In fact, Old Man Qin didn't think about leaving a balanced situation for Qin Dongqin before he died, and he also had the idea of getting rid of Qin Qi, but after all, this is a brother who is connected by blood, and he is also the only brother left in their generation, which is really a bit unstoppable;
Perhaps it is also because once the person is old, he always likes to recall the past, or that when the person is old, his heart is no longer as decisive as when he was young;
Until Old Man Qin was seriously ill and incurable, Qin Qi had less scruples and began to have some behaviors;
Qin Qi's actions did not hide from Old Man Qin, and Old Man Qin faced the secret actions of his siblings, and he was also ruthless and gritted his teeth there, and decided to get rid of Qin Qi;
Maybe Old Man Qin is really old, and he feels a little powerless about the control of the family;
When Old Man Qin instructed Wu Biao to get rid of Qin Qi, Wu Biao immediately started without thinking about it; of course, this is also Wu Biao's habitual obedience to Old Man Qin's orders, and he resolutely obeys any orders of Old Man Qin;
It's just that the result of this martial standard is somewhat unexpected;
Originally, with the ability of the guards in Wubiao's hands, he wanted to get rid of Qin Qi unknowingly, but it was only a blink of an eye; however, after this person was sent out, there was no news; and Qin Qi was still alive, and even the day after Wubiao started, this Qin Qi also came to greet the old man, a calm appearance;
It is a life-and-death struggle between brothers who join hands for life and die, and such things may have been staged countless times in these families, which is an old-fashioned trick;
It's just that I used to watch other people sing, and it was good to listen to it by myself, but now it's my turn, which makes Old Man Qin's already seriously ill and weak body and mind suffer an even heavier blow;
With Old Man Qin's actions first, Qin Qi has no scruples; as the saying goes, one does the first year of junior high school, and the other does fifteen;
After Mr. Qin finished the first year of junior high school, Qin Qi naturally could only do fifteen;
Wu Biao's assassination of Qin Qi failed, and Qin Qi still followed there to show off or demonstrate;
At that time, Qin Dongqin was still messing around with Zhuang Feng in Jiangzhou, and did not stay in Mofu; after Wu Biao's assassination of Qin Qi failed, a message came out that Qin Dongqin immediately rushed back to Mofu;
While Qin Qi demonstrate, his subordinates no longer showed mercy and scruples, and began to act according to the plan there, so they sent forces to rob and kill Qin Dongqin;
Maybe there are always such and such coincidences in the world, but when the old man Qin did it, Qin Dongqin, the continuing person, was not at home; or the old man Qin didn't want his daughter to see him doing this fratricidal trick, so Qin Dongqin ran to Jiangzhou to play with Zhuang Feng;
With such an opportunity, Qin Qi naturally seized the opportunity; robbing and killing Qin Dongqin halfway, even the big drama of the * palace can be omitted, and the person sent by Qin Qi to rob and kill Qin Dongqin is Qin Ai;
