Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 166 The Arrival of the Xuzhou Army
Hou Yuduan must know more about Miss Hong than he does. Hou Yuxiao knows this very well. Judging from the expression on Lao Wu's face at this moment, it is obvious that these things revealed by Master Fanyin should be true.

A paragraph of text suddenly popped up in Hou Yuxiao's mind:
"In the 153th year of Emperor Wuzong's reign, the world was in chaos and bandits attacked Zhaoyang. The last county magistrate, Hong Zhanpeng, preferred to die rather than surrender. He led the young men and women in the city to resist. In seven days, the city was destroyed. All the 18 old, young, women and children in the city were massacred and their bodies were torn to pieces for ten miles. Bleeding and drifting.

At that time, some people suspected that Hong Zhanpeng had a false reputation and ignored the lives of the people. In fact, in the last years of the Wuzong period, the people were in dire straits. Warriors often used living souls to practice martial arts and replenish their energy. Surrendering or not would lead to death. Hong Zhanpeng could have survived on his own, but with The people in the city live and die together, and in the last years of Wu Zong, it is gratifying to have such a loyal minister..."

That means that this story recorded in the Zhaoyang County Chronicle is true.

Hong Zhanpeng had a son and a daughter. The son called Hong Xiufu and died while guarding the city.

The girl, Hong Ling'er, fell into the hands of bandits and her whereabouts are unknown.

The Ji Yanzhi in front of him is Hong Xiufu, and the red girl is Hong Linger.

According to what Master Fanyin just said, the so-called Hong Ling'er fell into the hands of the bandits. In fact, it was his brother Hong Xiufu who personally sent her into the hands of the bandits in order to protect Zhaoyang County. Hong Ling'er, such a beautiful woman with natural beauty, Falling into the hands of a group of thieves, one can imagine the fate.

In other words, Hong Xiufu did not hesitate to sacrifice his biological sister Hong Ling'er in order to be loyal to the Dynasty of Dayu. In the era of war and chaos, the world was full of resentful spirits. Hong Ling'er was harmed by her loved ones, and the hatred in her heart was overwhelming. Fusion of souls, then borrowing the body of a ten thousand year old locust tree to become a demon, this should be the sequence...

Hou Yuxiao clarified the thoughts in his mind, and suddenly thought of Tian Honglu, who was killed by his brother Tian Fazheng during the Zhaoyang Rebellion at the end of last year, and a strange look appeared on his face.

It’s really not a family, don’t go into the same house.

The two masters and apprentices, one sent his sister to the bandits, and the other killed his sister directly with his own hands, they are both first-rate ruthless people...

Suddenly remembering the situation of Zhaoyang Rebellion, Hou Yuxiao suddenly raised his head, looked at the endless red light in the air, and suddenly realized.

It is so, it is so.

He figured it out...

During the Zhaoyang Rebellion half a year ago, killing Tian Honglu was part of Tian Fazheng's or Ji Yanzhi's plan to resurrect the Blood Demon.

Tian Fazheng did not hesitate to kill Tian Honglu with his own hands, but was killed by his brother and his father in conspiracy. Tian Honglu was full of resentment, which just met the conditions for the resurrection of the blood demon.

Capturing Zhaoyang was just a matter of course. Their purpose from beginning to end was to resurrect the blood demon so that Ji Yanzhi could break through the realm and gain enlightenment.

In other words, this plan probably didn't just start during the Zhaoyang Rebellion. Someone has been planning it since June last year?

Hou Yuxiao looked at the dazzling red and white auras fighting in the sky, and the hairs on his back stood up. After a long time, a sneer appeared on his face, and he said: "I thought that the Shanyue Sword Sect was defeated in the Zhaoyang Rebellion. It was co-authored. We are too naive, what these people want is not Zhaoyang at all, I am afraid that I have been taken advantage of by them since last June, when I went to Tianling County."

"It wasn't last June, it started six years ago..."

Suddenly, Hou Yuduan, who looked angry at the side, suddenly whispered.

After hearing that six years ago, Hou Yuxiao was startled, turned to look at Hou Yuduan, glanced around, and asked through a slightly cautious voice: "What do you mean?"

Hou Yuduan still clenched his fists tightly and was about to answer.

Suddenly, a raging wave of energy and blood suddenly came from the east.

Accompanying this wave of energy and blood, there is also a slightly more regular pace. The pace is not fast, but the sound is extremely heavy. Each step of kicking and kicking seems to be walking in everyone's heart...

Whether it is the six masters such as the Sanskrit Master in mid-air, or the monks and Taoists led by Hou Yuxiao, Hou Yuduan, Zhao Qingxue, and Buyu Monk on the ground, in return for the more than 3000 people of the Hou family, as well as the monks and Taoists led by Fan Longhe and Gui Yutang. The more than 1 government troops all turned their heads suddenly and looked to the east:

It was a silver-armored army that could not be seen at a glance. Their marching pace was regular. Although they didn't have a horse, the blood and energy in their bodies combined together was like a rainbow and extremely majestic.

Although it is impossible to tell how many people there are with the naked eye, just from the majestic momentum, it is at least no less than 4 people...

"The Xuzhou Army has arrived!"

"The Silver Armor Army is the Silver Armor Army of the Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect. How come there are so many of them? The entire Wanyang County army is dispatched..."

"The Wanjian Holy Sect controls Xuzhou with its Wanjian Army, which is divided into two parts: the Jinjia Army and the Silver Armor Army. The Silver Armor Army controls the imperial prefectures, and the Jinjia Army defends one side. Here comes the Silver Armor Army, and the Silver Armor Army crosses the border. Then Even if the two-state alliance is..."

"Totally torn apart!"

………………

Hou Yuxiao stood there, ignoring the comments coming from his ears, and just looked at the Xuzhou Army who was gradually approaching with a downcast expression.

Seeing the young Confucian scholar in white at the head, and the middle-aged man holding a sharp sword next to him, wearing rich clothes and looking peaceful, a hint of gloom suddenly appeared.

"That middle-aged man is the Wanyang County Bronze Swordsman, Lu Guanqing!"

A female voice came into his ears, and Hou Yuxiao looked stunned. He glanced sideways in the direction of the disciples of Ziqing Holy Sect. When he saw Zhao Qingxue at the front, he blinked at himself from the distance and immediately understood that the message was from her. There was a hint of gratitude on his face and he cupped his hand towards her.

When Zhao Qingxue saw this, a faint smile suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"Fan Longhe and Hou Yuxiao, I order you to quickly clean up the entire army and prepare to defend the city. As long as you can hold on to Tongling for one day, I will personally go to Yongdu to ask for credit for you two!"

After holding on for a day, Hou Yuxiao's eyes flashed with brilliance.

Master Fanyin said before that the Xingnan Prefecture Army has also invaded Xuzhou, and now they are asked to hold on for another day. The meaning is obvious...

As long as they can hold on for one day, there will be a new situation in Xuzhou. The [-] troops led by Lu Guanqing and Tian Fazheng will have no choice but to give in by then.

"Subordinates will obey the order of the master!"

"Subordinates take orders!"

Seeing that Fan Longhe was the first to express his stance, Hou Yuxiao did not hesitate at all. He directly cupped his fists and bowed respectfully to Master Fanyin. After speaking, he directly gave Hou Yucheng a look below.

Hou Yucheng understood this and hurriedly stood up and shouted behind him: "The whole army of the Hou family is in order. Everyone is on the city wall and preparing to defend the city."

"Yes!"

Gui Yutang on the side, after receiving Fan Longhe's order, was not to be outdone, and shouted sternly at the seven thousand soldiers: "All the remaining soldiers obey the order, clean up military discipline, climb the city wall, and prepare to defend the city... "

"As ordered!"

There were more than 3000 people from the Hou family and more than 7000 soldiers from the government, a total of more than [-] people. They were all warriors above the fifth level. Together, they let out two thunderous shouts, and powerful energy and blood surged up. In the air, there were all warriors with sharp ears and strong bodies. It would not take long to clean up the military discipline. After the two parties gathered together, they quickly climbed onto the city wall.

At the forefront of the Xuzhou army outside the city, Tian Fazheng was holding a folding fan. Hearing the two shouts coming from the city and the warriors who were constantly climbing up the city wall, a gloom appeared on his face, but when he raised his head, he felt the two waves in the sky. After the frightening breath, a hint of relief appeared, and his expression relaxed again.

"Tian Shengzi, the situation in this city seems to be inconsistent with what you said?"

Although Lu Guanqing looked calm, the tone of his question was obviously a little unhappy. Although he had orders from the senior leaders of the Holy Sect to lead his troops across the state, the orders from the Holy Sect were mainly He was asked to cooperate with Tian Fazheng, so this matter was planned by Tian Fazheng. He had the final say on when to set off and when to arrive.

Previously, Tian Fazheng had sworn to himself that the demons would invade the city tonight, and Tongling City would suffer heavy casualties. There would be very few government troops left, and there would be even fewer warriors in the city who could assist in the defense. Only then did he feel free to bring people over. The current situation in the city is extremely inconsistent with what he said.

There are at least ten thousand people on the city wall, and they are all warriors with a fifth level or above. They are obviously the army stationed in Tongling. There are [-] Xingnan army in Tongling City. They all know that there are only [-] left at the moment. It is true that there is a lot less, but it is not even a little bit short of ten.

"There are only 20 defenders. Lu Jianshi has [-] troops. It will only take a moment to break the city. Why worry. Besides, once the teacher kills the blood demon and breaks through the realm and becomes a saint, not to mention the [-] defenders, it will be Xingnan." The [-] defenders of the government are all here tonight, and they can’t change the outcome of Tongling’s change of ownership!”

Obviously, Tian Fazheng's words were still very encouraging. As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Guanqing's expression immediately softened a lot. He raised his head and glanced at the sky. He probably had confidence in Ji Yanzhi, and he slowly felt relieved.

While the two were talking, the 100-strong army had already reached about [-] meters outside the east gate. When the military formation slowly stopped and stood still, Lu Guanqing spoke softly.

"Since this is the case, please Tian Shengzi, let's fight in front of the battle!"

Tian Fazheng nodded his head, a mighty righteousness quietly gathered in his body, stepped on the horseback and jumped up, and stood directly at the same height as the building on the wall of the east gate, looking at the ten thousand defenders in the city, especially It was Fan Longhe who took the lead. His eyes first showed a glint, and then he suddenly spoke sharply.

"The evil sect has gone against the grain and led to the proliferation of monsters in Yongzhou. On the day when the god of worship is going to save the world, a blood demon should bring such great calamity to Tongling. This is something that cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth.

Today, my teacher Ji Yanzhi, thinking of the hardships of the people, went to the place of the demon sect, killed the demon with his body, and liberated all the people from the fire and water. Tongling has been imprisoned by the demon sect for many years, and the common people in the city are suffering. The disaster caused by the Demon Sect, I hope you all can see clearly the true face of the Demon Sect. As long as you join the Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect now, things will be better tonight, otherwise..."

"Confusing right and wrong, making no distinction between right and wrong. If all the Confucian and Taoist disciples in the world are cold-blooded and shameless people like you, I think the so-called White Deer Academy, the Holy Land of Confucianism, is just a joke. Bah!"

An angry scolding came, and the confident expression on Tian Fazheng's face froze instantly.

He was interrupted before he even finished speaking, and the other party's target of criticism was not only him, but also White Deer Academy!
There was a look of anger on his face at first, but it was calmed down by him immediately, and he lowered his head slightly, looking at the place where the sound came from.

He was not the only one, everyone present had their expressions frozen. Their eyes were all focused on the city wall. To be precise, it was the young man on the wall wearing the same white Confucian shirt as Tian Fazheng. people.

A look of helplessness appeared on Hou Yuxiao's face, and his hand was still on Hou Yuduan's shoulder. When Hou Yuduan stood forward, he had already realized that something was wrong and wanted to try to hold him back, but unfortunately, the pain in his heart was The anger has obviously reached the extreme, and even his brother can no longer listen to his words.

In front of so many people, scolding Tian Fazheng is nothing. Although he is the Holy Son of White Deer Academy, he is still only a second-level scholar. Looking at the world, he is at the level of a second-level grandmaster.

However, it is no small matter to angrily accuse Bailu Academy of being unworthy of being a holy place for Confucianism.

White Deer Academy, the only righteous leader who occupies the land of two states, the highest holy place that all Confucian and Taoist disciples in the world yearn for, cannot be slandered like this.

"This kid has the guts!"

Zhang Yuning, one of the six masters, looked at Hou Yuduan with a look of admiration in his eyes, and then turned to look at Tian Fazheng with a look of ridicule.

Although the other five people did not speak, they all had a teasing look on their faces just like Zhang Yuning.

Obviously, they are also happy to see White Deer Academy suffer.

"If I remember correctly, you were the one who cultivated some Confucianism among the Hou family in Zhaoyang County half a year ago, right?"

Tian Fazheng stared at Hou Yuduan for a long time, with a look of familiarity in his eyes, and he quickly recognized him. He seemed to see a lot from Hou Yuduan's eyes. After a moment of silence, he shook his head slightly and smiled contemptuously.

"Being able to practice Confucianism proves that you have eight abilities in your heart. Unfortunately, you are a mediocre person who can only feel with his eyes and emotions. He happened to be taught by some sages, and at most he is just a half-hearted scholar!"

As he spoke, he shook his head in cooperation, as if he didn't want to continue talking to Hou Yuduan, his face gradually turned cold, he turned to Lu Guanqing behind him, and said: "Lu Jianshi, Yongrong Thieves, who do not respect the teachings and sages, cannot listen to others' advice, and cannot correct their evil ways. Let the government troops attack the city! If the Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect is under the jurisdiction, I think the atmosphere will be much better."

Not only was he unwilling to talk nonsense, but Lu Guanqing obviously had the same intention. Hearing this, a bright light appeared in his eyes, he drew out the long sword at his waist, and pointed at the east gate.

"The whole army, start attacking the city."

"As ordered!"

The 4-strong army shouted in unison, and the sound suddenly resounded throughout the land. The shocking blood energy made everyone in the audience feel a little palpitated except for the six masters. More than [-] people drew their weapons one after another, like a tiger coming out of its cage. , crazily climbed toward the east gate.

Warriors are no better at attacking cities and plundering lands than ordinary people. The Holy Lands all use warriors who are above the fifth level as soldiers. The fifth level is called endometrium. Warriors at this level have skin membranes in their internal organs and have certain defense capabilities against the power of Qi. , and a warrior who truly breaks away from the theory of Qi Jin must at least be a warrior in the Yin-Yang Holy Realm.

Therefore, this [-]-strong army is enough to intimidate the New Year's Day Realm Dzogchen masters.

Forty thousand troops crazily climbed towards the city wall. They jumped five or six meters. Once they reached the city gate downstairs, they united and attacked crazily upwards.

Even though the city wall was made of steel and its surface was as smooth as ink, there was still a steady stream of warriors using their strength to climb up.

At the same time, a large number of warriors, led by three masters, kept attacking the east gate with weapons or bare hands, trying to break it open with brute force.

The war begins like this!
