Chapter 185
It has to be said that the Hou family's rapid development, Fan Longhe's compromise, and the family's current absolute control over Tongling City have indeed given rise to some unwanted thoughts in Hou Yuxiao's heart.

He felt that since Zhan Taiqing relied on the Hou family, she would definitely compromise with him to a certain extent. As long as she did not make excessive demands, she would not refuse.

It wasn't until that slap hit him that Hou Yuxiao woke up a lot. His personal strength was a joke in front of Zhan Taiqing; Luo Zongbi is not as good.

He calculated that Zhan Taiqing would summon him, and he had prepared a lot of demands in his heart, and wanted to take the opportunity to raise them, but he didn't expect that he would never be given a chance to talk, so he resisted with a slap and a word.

1 people will arrive at noon tomorrow. Without you, the Hou family will not be the master of Tongling!
This sentence can be said to have completely captured Hou Yuxiao's fate.

Hou Yuxiao had no doubt that the Rakshasa Holy Cult had this ability and Master Fanyin could also make this decision, so he chose to be a person who understands current affairs and agreed honestly.

Hou Yuxiao came over arrogantly with Li Sanyun and four others. After being slapped by Zhan Taiqing, he left in despair. Fan Longhe saw this scene and felt extremely happy in his heart. Until Hou Yuxiao and the others left the sight, Then he slowly calmed down his expression, turned sideways and whispered to Zhan Taiqing: "Master, this son of Hou Yuxiao is rebellious for the first time. Although you suppressed him forcefully this time, I'm afraid he is still dissatisfied in his heart. Now that the Hou family controls Tongling, he seems to be disrespectful." An act of my holy religion.

During this war, if the Hou family rebels again, it may become a disaster for our holy religion. It is better to kill Hou Yuxiao to avoid future troubles! "

Zhan Taiqing turned her head and looked at Fan Longhe, her eyes were extremely cold. Fan Longhe gradually felt the chill in his body as he kept looking. Then she said softly: "You think you are very smart, don't you?"

Although Fan Longhe knew that his little thoughts had been seen, he still continued to say harshly: "Master's eyes are as bright as a torch. How can Fan dare to think that he is smart in front of you? It's just that according to what the master just said, the Hou family and Qinglong will have an affair. Then This proves that they and the Da Luo Sect are on the same page. Now that the war between the two states is in full swing, it is not impossible for the Hou family to rebel. The subordinates only think about the Holy Religion wholeheartedly, so they have such an idea. Master knows this!"

When Zhan Taiqing heard these words, the coldness in his eyes softened slightly. He raised his gaze and looked at the direction in which Hou Yuxiao and his group were leaving. He shook his head first, then sneered twice and said, "Don't worry, this kind of extreme selfishness is too much." A smart person has two characteristics. One is that he is afraid of death, and the other is that he only focuses on his own gains and losses. As long as he is given enough benefits, he can sacrifice his life for anyone. Such a person will not be too half-hearted.

Since I intend to use him, there are enough benefits for him.In this battle between the two states, Yongzhou is attacking and Xuzhou is defending. Xuzhou will definitely not pay a big price to buy a master of the second realm.

I know you want to kill him, but I just need the more than 1 horses he has, so I won't touch him, and you can't touch him either. "

"The words of the master, the whip is inserted into the inside and penetrates into the wood for three points. I will obey you!"

Although Fan Longhe was very disappointed, he still praised Zhan Taiqing.

Zhan Taiqing obviously didn't take his words seriously. He turned around and looked at the east sky with a hint of worry in his eyes.

A big battle is still going on in Wanyang County. Hou Yuxiao will come with his army at noon tomorrow. According to the distance between Tongling and Wanyang County, it will take at least the day after tomorrow to arrive. I don’t know the situation there. What’s going on now? .

………………

In Tongling City, Hou Yuxiao and his group of five people rushed to the center of the city in a hurry. Without any delay, they immediately summoned all the warriors of the Hou family who were above the Gang Qi realm.

The blood demon's body emerged from the center of the city. The three major buildings of the Rakshasa Holy Cult that originally stood in the center of the city, the Sacred Heart Residence, the County Cheng's Mansion, and the Warden's Office, were naturally the first to suffer, and they had long been reduced to ruins. .

Fortunately, Li Sanyun and Bai Yunfan's command was quite good. They knew that it would take a long time to rebuild the city. In order to stabilize people's hearts, they gave priority to repairing it.

The original county magistrate's mansion disappeared and was replaced by a temporary hall. Hou Yuxiao sat alone in the hall, with Li Sanyun and four people below, and then Hou Yucheng, Hou Yuling, and Hou Yujie, and further down. There are more than 40 Gang Qi realm warriors.

As time went on, more than ten people came in one after another from outside. By the time the sun went up, 64 people had gathered in the hall.

Excluding himself, Li Sanyun, Hou Yucheng, Hou Yujie, and Hou Yuling, there are eight people in total. In other words, there are currently 56 warriors in the first and second realms of Gang Qi in the Hou family!
"Brother, those who came today do not include the people in the government army. There are also eleven Gang Qi realm warriors in the government army. The three brothers of the Gao family have joined our sect. I will keep them in the government army and continue to persuade others. Man, they have persuaded five more in the past three days, and as long as there is enough time, the remaining three should not be able to escape!"

Hou Yujie obviously noticed the look in Hou Yuxiao's eyes, so he came to him and said these words. There was also a strong look of excitement in his eyes. After he finished speaking, he did not forget to add: "Count it in the house." There are eleven soldiers in the army. The total number of warriors in the Gangqi Realm of our Hou family should be 74. In addition to the two masters of the Grandmaster Realm, including Big Brother and Lao Wu, as well as the army of [-], the current strength of our Hou family is comparable to that of Sanling Earth. The other two second-rate forces, Shayin Sect and Shen Clan, only differ in the number of masters at the master level."

Hearing this, Li Sanyun nodded and smiled at Hou Yuxiao: "Fourth Master is right. The Yinling Shayin Sect and the Jinling Shen Clan are indeed not far different from ours in strength. As far as I know, there are five Shayin Sects. There should be more masters in the Shen family, there are seven."

Bai Yunfan coughed twice and said: "No, there should be only four people left in the Shayin Sect. The deputy sect leader named Yan Sannu was..."

When Hou Yujie, Hou Yucheng, and Hou Yuling heard this, they had no reaction, but Nie Xinchuan and Liu Jianghong couldn't help but glance sideways at Hou Yuxiao.

The four of them are also the leaders of a force, so they are certainly not fools. They can probably guess the meaning of what Zhan Taiqing just said outside the city. If Hou Yuxiao had an affair with Qinglong, he would be sure that Yan Sannu would be killed. Be informed.

When Hou Yuxiao saw the reaction of the four people, he shook his head helplessly. Yan Sannu was killed by Yang Xin, and it had nothing to do with him at all. However, he did not defend himself. This kind of thing just happened to leave him some mystery. feel.

Although he was very excited, the influence of Zhan Taiqing's slap just now was still there, and Hou Yuxiao calmed down quickly.

There is no problem in saying that the current Hou family is the same in Tongling County, but compared with the Jinling Shen family and the Yinling Shayin Sect, the gap is definitely not small. There is no doubt about this.

It seems that the current number of warriors is not far different from that of the two families, and it seems that there are only a few Grandmaster Realm masters missing, but the actual situation is far more than that.

It has only been three days since the Hou family swallowed up four families. Currently, there is a mixture of warriors inside, including soldiers from the four families, soldiers and horses from the original government, casual cultivators from Tongling City before, and a large number of third-rate warriors from the other three families that were destroyed. Power, so many people get together, it is impossible to twist them into a rope in a short time.

In fact, Daluo Sect was extremely unlucky this time. As the secret chess player of Leiyin Temple, he had been hiding in Tongling for so many years, but nothing was accomplished. Ding Buhai also lost his only son.

But to be fair, the failure of Da Luo Sect actually had little to do with the Hou family. The main reason was that Leiyin Temple was cheated by several other holy places. I originally thought that Tongling was the Waterloo of the Rakshasa Sect, but I didn’t expect it to be Huangfu Star. He and Ji Yanzhi co-directed a big drama against Xuzhou, and lost the Daluo Sect, which was a big loss.

Ding Buhai rebelled, and the other grandmasters of the Daluo Sect all died in battles with demons. Otherwise, with their strength, if they could unite around the Holy Cult step by step and defend Xuzhou, the Hou family might not be able to do so this time. Be the biggest winner.

The Jinling Shen Clan and the Yinling Shayin Sect are both second-rate forces that are not weaker than the Daluo Sect, and they have been operating in the local area for far longer than the Daluo Sect. With the Hou family's current state of patchwork, they are not as good as these two. Basically there is no comparison at all.

What's more, the situation in the three counties is also very different. After this battle in Tongling, even if Hou Yuxiao took some special measures, it would be difficult to recover without three to five years' time, and it would be impossible to compete. .

"Okay, you don't need to think too highly of yourself, but you don't need to belittle yourself either. The Shen family and the Shayin Sect will definitely be stronger than us in a short period of time, but now that we, the Hou family, have all of you joining us, as long as we can unite as one, we can surpass these two families in the long run. No problem!"

It is still very important to cheer everyone up in a timely manner. Hou Yuxiao boosted everyone's morale and continued: "Besides, it is not these two families that we need to be careful about now. Tongling is located in the east of Xingnan Prefecture. Right now. The war between these two states has already begun, do you have any thoughts?"

As soon as Hou Yuxiao finished speaking, he saw that Li Sanyun and the others wanted to speak. He hurriedly signaled to the four of them with a hidden look. The four of them understood and did not speak.

Except for the four people, everyone else seemed not to understand what Hou Yuxiao meant and looked at him in confusion.

"For example, should you join the war to help the Holy Cult attack Xuzhou, or should you protect yourself, stay put, and wait for the outcome of the war between the two states?"

After Hou Yuxiao asked this sentence, everyone fell into silence. He was not in a hurry, but continued to sit on the main seat to see who would answer first.

He didn't let Li Sanyun and the others speak because the four of them had just gone to see Zhan Taiqing with him and knew that the Hou family had to send troops, so their answers were meaningless.

He asked everyone about their intentions. There were two levels. The first level was that most of the more than 60 people below had just joined the Hou family. He always wanted to give these newcomers some rights to participate in family management, even if it was just an illusion. To create;
On the other level, I really want to know what these people are thinking.

"Of course I have to participate. The Xuzhou boy came to Tongling this time and killed so many people. Only 1 of the [-] army were beaten. Now is the time when the vitality is seriously injured.

Moreover, the Xingnan Prefecture army has already surrounded Wanyang County. Let's fight together now. Not only to capture a county, but at least one of the three counties below can be captured. If it is too late, it will be too late! "

As expected, Hou Yucheng was the first to speak. Although what the second brother said was in line with his own thoughts, looking at the militant expression on his face, Hou Yuxiao couldn't help but shake his head. He had serious doubts in his heart. What the boy said were all lies. He just wanted to fight.

"I think it's best not to participate. There are only [-]% of the population left in Tongling. The war between the two states is so brutal. Once involved, it will be difficult to escape unscathed. Although the war is currently limited to Wanyang County, once the scale expands, People like us won’t be of much use, and we will most likely be used as cannon fodder by the Holy Religion!”

"I also think we can't fight. At the moment, Tongling is in dire straits and is in dire need of more warriors to help rebuild the city. We also need to recruit people from Zhaoyang and Yulin counties that have not been affected by the disaster. We are very short of manpower. If we rush to join the war, we will not only Delaying the rebuilding of the city will cause more casualties, so I hope the family owner will be cautious."

"I don't agree to join the war either. If the two holy places are at war, we really can't play a substantial role. If we want to reap benefits, we must have equal strength. If we rashly join the war with our strength, we will easily become Xuzhou's target." !”

………………

Not surprisingly, the opposition to participating in the war became the mainstream almost instantly. Hou Yuxiao lowered his head and found that most of the people who did not want to participate in the war were from the Yaochen Sect, Xiyun Escort Bureau, and the Bai Family. There were not many from the Hongdao Gang. A few people said they wanted to join the war, but as for those from the Hou family, no one said anything, and all their eyes were focused on him.

It can be seen from here. It is not a question of loyalty or not. The four families have just been merged into the Hou family. Even the four Li Sanyun and Hou Yuxiao did not expect them to be loyal to him, let alone the following people. .

What Hou Yuxiao noticed was that the four families had different personalities. Obviously, compared to the other three families, the people from the Hongdao Gang were more inclined to go to war. This may be because of their gang origins.

The people below discussed for a while, but Hou Yuxiao did not interrupt, but looked at Li Sanyun and the other four. The four of them were all superiors in the past, and they could probably guess his intentions. At this moment, they received His eyes indicated that he naturally knew that it was time for him to speak.

Bai Yunfan took the lead and took a step forward, and was about to speak when suddenly an elegant voice came from outside the door, and everyone immediately turned their heads and looked over.

“Of course we’re going to fight!

First, the reason why Tongling suffered such a disaster this time is the demons and the Xuzhou Army. The demons are all dead, but the Xuzhou Army is still there. At this moment, both the government troops and my Hou clan warriors are holding back their anger. At this time, when their morale is at its strongest, take them across the state border and fight into Xuzhou. As long as they don't encounter any overwhelming and powerful enemies, they will definitely be able to conquer them all!
Secondly, the war between the two states is such a great opportunity. I, the Hou family, will seize the opportunity. Not only can we expand our sphere of influence to Xuzhou, but we can also take advantage of the opportunity to express our loyalty to the holy religion and the master. Once we participate in the war, we, the Hou family, will wait for the war. The holy religion will definitely not stop you from being promoted to the second level, and your guru will also give you full support.

Third, in this battle, I assert that the Holy Church of Rakshasa will definitely win, which means that the Holy Church of Rakshasa will capture part of the territory of Xuzhou. Our Tongling is on the western edge of Xuzhou. If we participate in the war and contribute, these territories will belong to us. , as long as we can eat it, there shouldn’t be any suspense!

Fourth, Tongling City is indeed in dire straits, but the most important thing is the population issue. As long as there is time and enough people, the buildings in the city can be restored quickly. We will just move everyone from Zhaoyang and Yulin here. We can’t recover before the war, so we might as well take this opportunity to go to Xuzhou and plunder. Even if we don’t get any benefits, isn’t it a good thing to rob a group of people..."

Hou Yuduan's sonorous and powerful words, accompanied by the movement of his white Confucian shirt without wind, were inexplicably convincing. After he finished speaking, the whole place fell into a deathly silence, and everyone seemed to be still immersed in his words. middle.

"What Lao Wu said is right. Hou Yucheng, Hou Yujie, Nie Xinchuan, and Liu Jianghong. The three of you will quickly purge my Hou family and the more than 5000 government troops. Wait outside the city tomorrow morning without any mistakes!

This time I will personally lead the army, while Li Sanyun and Bai Yunfan will stay behind and take the rest of my Hou family to continue to assist the people in rebuilding the city and overseeing all affairs. If there are any matters that cannot be decided, Sanniang can make the decision. "

Hou Yuxiao's order was sonorous and powerful. When everyone heard the sound, they knew that he had made a decision. They hurriedly bowed and shouted in unison: "I obey!"
