Chapter 202 Making money (please subscribe!)

There are twelve counties in the three counties of Hexi. Wanyang County has four counties, namely Tianling, Yunye, Jinchuan, and Pinghu counties; Longxiang County has five counties, namely Lingyuan, Yeyin, Zhaoyu, Shayang, There are five counties in Sishui; Yangping County is the least, with only three counties: Jinxiang, Donglu and Shuiyun.

Twelve counties are twelve third-rate forces, plus the other three counties, there should be a total of 37 third-rate forces in the three counties of Hexi, plus the three second-rate forces of Tianding Sect, Mingjian Sect, and Fengbo Hall. The total number of incoming forces should be forty.

This time when the holy army attacked the city, among the three counties in Hexi, Wanyang County suffered the most losses.

Because until the moment before the Holy Cult army broke through the city, Lu Guanqing and Tong Wudi still did not repent, refused to surrender, and even fled with Gu Tianyun, this move completely angered Zhan Taiqing.

After the holy army broke through the city, Zhan Taiqing personally ordered that the Silver Armored Army, together with everyone in the Sword Master's Yamen, the more than 1 disciples of the Tianding Sect, and all the disciples who participated in the defense of the city, total 800. There were many people, but they were all killed and no one was left alive.

In addition to the Tianding Sect, there are four third-rate forces in Wanyang County. There are a total of five mainstream forces, plus some small sects that are not mainstream. Almost all of them were killed, so excluding these five, Hexi There should be 35 mainstream forces left in the three counties.

"35 tables, only empty ones!"

Ke Jiangyun sent a message to Yue Wenzhu next to him. When he entered the hall, he scanned the entire hall. There were 35 tables in the entire hall, which could be roughly divided into three areas, which should be divided according to three counties.

The tables at the front of Longxiang County and Yangping County are both empty, which should be the seats reserved for the two of them. As for the remaining seats, the two of them probably know it.

Yue Wenzhu sighed slightly and said through a message: "The seats are packed. Not one of the 35 influential families in the three counties of Hexi Province dared not be present. This sect leader has probably not seen such a grand event in decades!"

"The main thing is Master Fanyin's trick to scare the monkeys. The holy army is now stationed on the west bank of the Tongtian River. Even if they want to run away, they can't. If they don't come to the banquet today, who knows whether they will end up like the Tianding Sect. What will happen if the sect is destroyed..."

"Sect Master Yue and Hall Master Ke have finally arrived!"

While the two were having a voice conversation, an elegant and handsome young man in white suddenly walked up to the two of them from the crowd. While speaking, he did not forget to bow to the two of them, which was quite polite.

Yue Wenzhu looked at the other party's young appearance, elegant temperament, and aura that was not much different from his own. He actually had a guess in his heart, but he still pretended to be surprised and asked: "Yue has not been to Wanyang for many years." County, I don’t know that there is such a young and talented man from our three counties in Hexi Province. I dare to ask your Excellency who he is..."

Ke Jiangyun's brows twitched at the side. Yue Wenzhu's nickname is Qinglong Junzi, which means that he is upright and upright, and has the demeanor of a gentleman. Unexpectedly, he can also flatter others.

"Ke has not been to Wanyang County for several years. Such young talents are hard to find in the whole of Yongzhou, not to mention the three counties in Hexi. I heard someone call him the Fifth Young Master. Could it be that you are the Fifth Young Master, one of the two dragons of the Hou family? , Hou Yuduan?"

Hou Yuduan showed a faint smile of self-effacement. The two people's deliberate pursuit of each other could not escape his eyes. Unfortunately, he had heard too much of this kind of flattery today, and he no longer felt much in his heart at this moment.

"The two seniors are so complimentary. Looking at the disciples behind them, we can see that Hexi is a talented person. Yu Duan has little talent and limited experience. He has only been in Hexi for only a month. It is difficult for him to live up to the reputation of being a talented person!"

The dozens of disciples behind Yue Wenzhu and Ke Jiangyun suddenly showed a hint of pride when they heard Hou Yuduan's words. Their cultivation levels were all above the Gang Qi realm, and they were indeed the leaders of the younger generation in their respective sects. It's not too much to say that Hexi is a talented person. They still benefit from praise like Hou Yuduan's.

"If even the fifth young master is not considered a talent, then our three counties in Hexi really have no talent at all. The Hou family Shuanglong is now famous in Sanling and Hexi. Everyone knows about it. Fengbo Hall Although young disciples like He Mingjian Sect are good, they are not on the same level as Fifth Young Master and the Head of the Hou Family!"

However, a voice came from behind, and these disciples were immediately brought back to reality from the clouds. They suddenly realized that whether it was the fifth young master Hou Yuduan in front of them or the Hou Yuxiao, the head of the Hou family, they were not at the same level as them. What the Fifth Young Master said just now was just self-effacing. If they took it seriously, it would be a joke.

The group of people turned to look behind them, only to find that another group of about ten people had already walked behind them. The leader was wearing a yellow robe. He looked middle-aged, with a thin face, and a bag hanging around his waist. It was him who spoke with a long sword.

"If Yu Duan guessed correctly, could this senior be Gao Haicheng, the head of the Gao family in Lingyuan?"

"It's such an honor for Gao, a relatively unknown person, to be recognized by the Fifth Young Master!"

"Hahaha, if the head of the Gao family was a nobody, there would be no famous people here today. Lingyuan's name as the 'No. [-] County in Hexi' is as loud as thunder. He can develop a county to a level comparable to the county. I can do my best to Gao Gao." The head of the family has learned from the experience..."

"Fifth Young Master is full of praise and praise!"

Ke Jiangyun and Yue Wenzhu on the side saw this scene, their eyes were slightly clouded, and Gao Haicheng was chatting with Hou Yuduan more enthusiastically than them in a few words.

Of course, the two of them didn't like Gao either...

There are only three second-rate forces in the three counties of Hexi, and the remaining more than 30 third-rate forces should be crawling at their feet as usual. Only Lingyuan has an outlier like the Gao family. Many years ago, including the Tianding Sect, , the three of them unanimously suppressed the Lingyuan Gao family. Although the Gao family was strong, it was naturally difficult for them to be suppressed by the three second-rate forces.

After all these years, Yue Wenzhu and Ke Jiangyun would definitely not believe that Gao Haicheng had no objection to them. As soon as Gao Haicheng appeared, he used the method of belittling their two families to flatter Hou Yuduan. They are all extremely keen, and they naturally immediately understood what they meant.

Mr. Gao, you want to take advantage of this change of ownership of the three counties in Hexi to make a comeback!

Hou Yuduan had a panoramic view of the subtle atmosphere among the three families, with a slight smile on his lips. After chatting with Gao Haicheng for a few words, he smiled cheerfully and said: "Now that the three of you are here, today's Hexi Three Counties Martial Arts Conference can begin. , please take your seats!"

In fact, it is these three families who are waiting. The order of appearance generally represents the importance. There are 35 tables present today, each of which represents an influential force. Feng Bo Tang, Ming Jian Zong, and Gao Family, these three basically represent the three major families in Hexi. It was only natural that the three strongest forces in the county would be the last to arrive.

As soon as the three parties took their seats, Hou Yuduan also walked up to the high platform in the middle.

As soon as Hou Yuduan went up, the entire hall of the Golden Wind and Rain Building fell silent. Everyone stopped whispering and focused their eyes on him.

Everyone's expressions were a little solemn.

The three counties in Hexi have changed hands. Although the 35 of their influent forces have clearly expressed their surrender, and the Demon Cult army did not kill them, strictly speaking, the Rakshasa Demon Cult has not made a statement, so they have so far , can be regarded as a mainstream force enshrined by the Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect.

The Hou family is now the big celebrity in front of Zhan Taiqing. Today's banquet was obviously held by the Hou family, but it must be under the influence of Professor Mo. Therefore, Hou Yuduan's next words are likely to determine the fate of each of their families. I know it all in my heart.

Hou Yuduan stood on the high platform and looked around. Different from the solemn and worried mood of everyone, he felt a little sigh in his heart at this moment.

There are 35 mainstream forces present today, with a total of more than 500 people. In addition to the six masters at the master level, there are more than 100 people at the Gang Qi level, and at least 30 people at the Dan Bao stage. The rest have the lowest level. Between the ninth and tenth levels of Kaishen.

This is a force that is several times stronger than the Hou family. Considering the current situation, it is not the full strength of the 35 incoming forces. Each of them and most of the disciples stay in their respective territories. The county is prosperous.

While sighing, Hou Yuduan was naturally a little proud. After all, these 35 influential forces were all invited by his Hou clan. The status above ten thousand people is an irrefutable fact.

Hou Yuduan took a deep breath, looked back at the second floor, nodded cryptically, then turned around and faced the crowd, cupped his fists and said, "My Hou family has received the order of the holy religion to hold the martial arts conference of the three counties in Hexi. Thanks to Hexi All the major powers join us, and no one is absent today, Hou is here, on behalf of his elder brother Hou Yuxiao, and everyone in the Hou family, I would like to thank all the teachers and seniors in advance!"

After finishing his words, Hou Yuduan bowed directly in four directions...

These words immediately won the favor of many people below, not to mention the disciples of the major forces. Seeing Hou Yuduan's friendly expression, even the masters of the major forces who had the cultivation level of Baodan, at this moment, they felt in their hearts Hou Yuduan had an infinite favorable impression.

Hou Yuduan is already well-known. The cultivation level of the second level of Xiaoru Yuwen is equal to that of the six masters here today, but he does not have any arrogance. senior.

"We have joined the Holy Cult and are now considered to be from Yongzhou. We are from the same sect as the Hou family. Since we are from the same sect, we should support you. No need to be polite, Fifth Young Master!"

"Fifth Young Master has a great reputation. I would never dare to be called a senior. I only hope that Hou Shi will wait for me in front of the master to intercede more..."

"Who doesn't know that Fifth Young Master's Confucianism is amazing. I'm afraid no one here today would dare to call himself Master in front of Fifth Young Master. You must never call him Master again!"

"Fifth Young Master has such a measure, and we are not unreasonable people. We are here today just to hear the sacred teachings, how do we plan to govern the three counties in Hexi, Fifth Young Master, but please be blunt, as long as it is not too much, we will definitely obey!"

………………

"With just a few words, I can win over a crowd of followers and respond endlessly. This Hou Yuduan is only the fifth son of the Hou family, one of the two dragons, but he is such a monster. Then Hou Yuxiao, the head of the Hou family, is not a monster..."

Yue Wenzhu sighed slightly when he saw the situation in the hall. He just turned around and saw his daughter Yue Qianfu. Her big eyes were staring at Hou Yuduan without even moving, and she suddenly showed a look of helplessness.

Grand Elder Duan Heyan is old and has a lot of experience. Hearing the suzerain's exclamation, he smiled slightly and said: "The ancients said that courtesy comes first and then soldiers. When you come up, you should be polite first. Don't think about it, this kid will definitely have bad things to say later! "

Duan Heyan's words immediately resonated with Yue Wenzhu, who nodded.

"As you all know, I, the Hou family, have called you here today because of the orders of the Holy Religion. Therefore, I will no longer continue to sell my secrets. Today, I, the Hou family, will announce a total of three things, because these three matters are related to each other. Hexi Wulin is related to each other at every level. Hou Mou talks about one thing one by one. Every time he talks about something, he discusses it with you first. Once the results are obtained, he will talk about the next thing. What do you think?"

"Fifth Young Master, please speak, I am all ears!"

"We have plenty of time, Fifth Young Master, please tell me."

"Today in the three counties and twelve counties, everyone who can come to the stage is basically present. Whatever orders the Holy Cult has, the Fifth Young Master can just say it. As long as it is reasonable and reasonable, we will have no objection!"

…………

Seeing that everyone agreed, Hou Yuduan first clasped his fists and bowed to everyone, then stretched out an index finger and said loudly: "Thank you for your cooperation, then Hou will start talking about the first thing!"

He paused for a moment, and after everyone was completely silent, he continued to speak with a gloomy expression.

"There are a total of 35 factions in the three counties. Although they have submitted letters of surrender to the Holy Cult, the Holy Cult has not yet surrendered. Before the army attacked the city, each family more or less sent disciples to assist the Silver Armor Army in resisting the Holy Cult. There are currently 13291 people in the Tianlao of Wanyang County, and there are all witnesses and material evidence, so you will not deny it, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions immediately changed...

"Fifth Young Master, I am really unjust. I am the leader of the Qinghu Gang in Jinchuan County, Cheng Peng. Cheng knew that the holy army was unstoppable, so he didn't even want to help the Silver Armored Army. It was really the Sword Master who threatened him. Cheng did it out of helplessness. With the appearance of 200 gang members, it is definitely not the Qinghu Gang’s intention to resist the Holy Cult. I hope the Fifth Young Master will learn from this!"

While everyone was contemplating, a burly middle-aged man suddenly stood up from behind the Wanyang County seat and shouted injustice at Hou Yuduan.

"The same goes for our Huangshan Sect in Pinghu County. We were forced by the Sword Master and had no choice but to send 300 people out. Otherwise, we would not dare to be enemies with the Holy Cult no matter what. The Fifth Young Master knows this."

"We, the Shayang White Sword Sect, were also coerced by the Sword Master!"

…………

Cheng Peng's shout was like opening a template. One after another in the entire hall, everyone started shouting that they were wronged. If you listen carefully, the content was basically the same as him. It was just that they didn't want to be enemies of the Holy Religion. However, The Sword Master was threatening them, but they were weak and had to obey. They did not intend to be enemies of the Holy Religion. Please ask Hou Yuduan for a clear warning.

…………

Hou Yuduan looked at the hypocritical people, with a slight smile on his lips. He knew that before the three counties of Hexi were conquered, these people would definitely not behave like this. Now they are just worried about the liquidation of the holy religion, so they are scrambling for explanations.

He paused for a moment as if he was listening to the explanation attentively. After everyone below him finished speaking, he nodded slightly and said: "Of course Hou Mou believes in you, but the problem is, those disciples you sent to the holy army , causing huge casualties. If we just brush it off, there is no guarantee that our brothers in the army will not bear grudges against you in the future..."

Everyone's lips twitched when they heard this. This time the Demon Cult's 17-strong army captured the three counties of Hexi. The total casualties were only over 2, but nearly 7 silver-armored troops were killed. More than [-] people were captured, but Hou Yuduan actually said it was a huge casualty!

"If you need me to compensate you, please speak up, Fifth Young Master!"

Finally, Yue Wenzhu took the lead and couldn't help but ask. The others immediately nodded and stared at Hou Yuduan, waiting for his answer.

Hou Yuduan looked a little puzzled: "What are you talking about, Master Yue? You are all under the rule of our Rakshasa Holy Cult now. That is a family. Since we are a family, there is no need to talk about compensation. Master Fanyin said , don’t want any compensation!”

When everyone heard this, they looked stunned and didn't understand what it meant...

"However, those disciples of your families who were imprisoned in the sky prison were all captured by us on the battlefield no matter what. Whether they were coerced or voluntary, they always helped the Silver Armor Army. You must You have to spend money to redeem it!”

Hearing this sentence, everyone suddenly realized.

"The ransom for each person of Kaishen realm warriors is 1200 taels. The ransom for each person of Gangqi realm warriors is 12000 taels. As for the grandmaster level warriors, the ransom for each person is 12 taels. Do you have any opinions?"

Hou Yuduan reported the price in a calm tone, which immediately caused an uproar below...

"It's 1200 taels each. The one hundred will cost 12 taels to redeem. This is too expensive. If our Qinghu Gang wants to redeem two hundred gang members, wouldn't it cost 24 taels of silver? This... this... …”

"It's too expensive, we simply can't afford it!"

"Fifth Young Master, can you give me less? We simply can't afford so much money!"

…………

No matter what everyone said, Hou Yuduan's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end. He had a faint smile on his lips. When the voice gradually subsided, he said softly: "Don't worry, everyone, it is up to each family to decide whether to redeem a person or not." The choice is, if you really don’t have the money, don’t redeem it!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people below suddenly became much better. Many people's eyes began to slowly turn, obviously wanting to see other people's reactions.

"My name is Jianzong, and I am willing to pay for my ransom!"

"This money, I also paid out of Fengbotang."

"Mr. Gao is out too!"
