There are eight deserts of all sizes in Huazhou. The Kurqi Desert ranks fourth, sandwiched between snow-capped mountains and high slopes, about six or seven hundred miles long from north to south and more than four hundred miles wide from east to west. The strong wind from the west rolls up sand and dust and rolls forward, instantly burying the people or things in it. The Kurqi Desert is located at the junction of Wenjin County and Linsha County. It passes through the desert southwest and crosses the Gesak Snow Peak, which is the Rongmi Kingdom of the Western Regions. The snow-capped mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and the desert storm is unpredictable. Caravans traveling between the two countries rarely follow this path, but pass through Juxu, Wengu and Wen and Gu, and enter Dazheng from Jingmen Pass.

Two carriages loaded with goods left Linsha County, walked east along the official road, and entered a nearby village. Not long after, the four camels carrying goods walked leisurely from the west of the village. After confirming that no one was following, the camel fleet entered the Kurchi Desert.

Three hours later, when the crescent moon buds rose to the sky, an oasis appeared in the sky. The camel fleet accelerated its pace and ran through the poplar forest beside the clear spring. Seeing more than a hundred horses eating grass quietly on the open grass, warm greetings came from the two towering arrow towers: "Brother Li, you are here."

The man riding on the camel in front raised his face and waved to the arrow tower. The moonlight fell on his dusty face, and the clover fell from his beard that could not be distinguished. There was a circle of houses made of stones and clay in the distance, standing firm, quietly bathing in the moonlight, breathing with a cool breath.

More than a dozen men came out and shouted to help unload the goods. Someone said, "Brother Li, Master Liu asked you to go to his place after dinner."

Brother Li slapped the dust on his body vigorously with his cloth jacket, then turned around to the lake and buried his head in the water. After a while, the water dripping dripped from Yu Si on his face, and his eyes seemed to have washed away the dust, as clear as the lake water in front of him.

He casually used his clothes to lose the water on his face. Brother Li smiled and said, "I have eaten on the road. I am not hungry. If you have good wine, prepare it first. When I see Mr. Liu and my brothers, I will have a good drink."

The men agreed with laughter. Brother Li walked towards one of the stone houses and greeted the people he met along the way. When he arrived in front of the stone house, Brother Li tidied up his clothes and said loudly: "Li Mingfeng asked for a meeting."

"Come in." An old voice sounded, and Li Mingfeng picked up the bamboo curtain in front of the door and walked into the house. The decorations in the house were very simple, with a wooden table and a few chairs beside the inner wall. The only thing was that there was a pot of yellow flowers on the table by the window. Liu Ziwei stretched out his hand and rolled his beard and looked at his favorite disciple with a smile.

"Master." Li Mingfeng bowed and saluted.

"Mingfeng, the road is going well. How many days have you been in for the goods this time?" Liu Ziwei asked.

Li Mingfeng said a few simple words and said with a serious expression: "The government is now conducting more and more inspections. He ordered all counties to strengthen inspections, use the village as the corps, and investigate foreign populations. There are officials watching the main roads of the checkpoints. The disciples also heard that the government is preparing to divide the garrison into four parts, each guarding one side, and if there is any problem, it is convenient to respond. This time, when he went to Linsha County to buy supplies, a yamen runner came forward to ask, and let the disciples deal with it. I am afraid they will have to change places next time."

Liu Ziwei's beard-rolling hand paused for a moment, asked carefully a few questions, frowned, and ordered, "Go and invite your old uncles, I'm afraid you can't stay here." A moment later, Wei Dachang, Yu Qiusheng, Zheng Pingren, Zhou Shaofeng and others all came. The younger generation was led by Li Qing, Wang Tiangang, Jiang Feiyu and Li Mingfeng, and more than twenty people squeezed the hut. Li Mingfeng was quick and moved several benches for the older generation to sit, while he stood behind the master.

Liu Ziwei smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, you are a good plan, just do what you said."

Next, there were not many people willing to go to Rongmi Kingdom with Liu Ziwei. Wei Dachang and other main battle factions accounted for the majority. Li Qing, Wang Tiangang and others were willing to follow him as a thief. Even Li Mingfeng did not go out with his master, but he did not follow Wei Dachang and others. Liu Ziwei had another task to explain to him.

The brothers who were gathered together were about to separate, and Wei Dachang was reluctant to leave. Thinking of the dead brothers, Wei Dachang said angrily: "Do you just let that dog official go easily? My old Wei is really unwilling to let go of my ancestral silver frost sword? My ancestors were destroyed in the hands of that boy, and I really wish I could cut him into pieces."

Yu Qiusheng comforted him and said, "Old Wei, I heard that there are many metallurgical experts in the Western Regions. After I arrived in Rong Mi, I will pay attention to you and find a new sword for you."

Liu Ziwei smiled sinisterly and said, "Jiang Anyi repeatedly ruined my major affairs, so of course I will not let him go easily."

Before Liu Ziwei finished speaking, Wei Dachang smiled happily and said, "Boss, that's right. I have to take my brothers to be this kid."

Liu Ziwei shook his head and said, "Jiang Anyi is very skilled in martial arts. Judging from the situation of attacking him last time, you may not be his opponent. I am afraid that no one of our group is his opponent. He is in the government office and has strict guards. We will only suffer from the defeat of the strong attack. The best way to attack the weakest enemy is."

"The weak attack on the enemy? Boss, if I go to kill the dog official's family, I will not be able to take action. This is a bit unethical." Wei Dachang said.

Liu Ziwei laughed and said, "I am not a reckless man like you who can only fight and kill. I have a plan to ruin Jiang Anyi and maybe he will join our Yuantian Sect."

Oh, everyone was intrigued and stared at Liu Ziwei's detailed explanation. Liu Ziwei rolled his beard calmly and said, "I have already found out that Jiang Anyi's hometown is Pingshan Town, Xinqi, Dezhou. He has a mother, younger brother and sister, a wife and a concubine. The concubine gave birth to a boy for him. His brother and his wife came to Huazhou with him. It is probably the few people we met last time, and the others are all in Pingshan Town, my hometown."

Wei Dachang thought to himself, could the boss want to send someone to catch Jiang Anyi's mother, sister and son and force him to surrender to us, this trick is a bit harmful.

"You must think that I want to send someone to plunder Jiang Anyi's family, either." Liu Ziwei smiled sly and said, "Jiang Anyi's girl is fifteen years old this year, and she is the age when she was in love. I want to send a young man to win her heart. If Jiang Anyi learned that her brother-in-law was my Yuantian scholar, I wonder what she would feel? I heard that Jiang Anyi values ​​family affection, how should she face it then?"
