Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 210 The Overly Polite Zhou Juncheng
The seventh day of September in the year 1322 of the New Yu Calendar

In the west of Tongling County, more than [-] horsemen were escorting [-] carriages, galloping on the official road. The horse team was already vigorous, and the speed was so fast that it was like a black torrent. Wherever the official road passed, smoke and dust were flying all over the sky, let alone No stranger, even a demon, would dare to approach.

The two horses in the front row, one is brown and red like flames, the rider is Hou Yuduan, the other is as black as dark clouds, and the horse on top is Hou Yujie. The horses under the two of them are far superior to the thoroughbred horses behind them in terms of physique. , the end is an extraordinary horse.

"Unexpectedly, this Liemane horse was actually found by the third sister. This is a top-grade horse that can travel three thousand miles a day. You have earned it, fifth brother!"

Hou Yujie knew that Hou Yuduan had been deliberately slowing down, so he looked at Lie Mane he was riding and made a joke.

These words made Hou Yuduan's face darken instantly.

The earliest owner of this fierce mane was Tian Honglu.

Hou Yujie also suddenly realized that he was not opening the pot. He glanced behind him and immediately changed the subject.

"At first, there was only Hou Fei's Kui tribe in the Shanghou clan. Later, after the Zhaoyang Rebellion, the eldest brother added four new tribes: Si, Geng, Xin, and Ren. The leaders were Gao Hu, Su Li, Xiong Nutao, and Zhang Kong. The five cultivators Because, they are all in the Gang Qi realm, the peak of the Gang Qi stage.

The five newly added departments this time are Cheng Ping from the A Department, Bai Dongkai from the B Department, Yu Wulai from the C Department, Yue Qianyun from the Ding Department, and Li Yuanrui from the Xu Department.

The five of them are all in the Gangqi Second Realm Gathering Evil Stage. Among them, Cheng Ping and Yue Qianyun are the former elders of Hongdao Gang; Bai Dongkai is Bai Yunfan's nephew; Yu Wulai is the chief escort of Xiyun Escort Bureau; Li Yuanrui is He is the adopted son of Li Sanyun.

The ten dragon heads are the ten Gang Qi masters whose lowest cultivation level is at the peak of the first realm. In addition, under their command, there are 26 warriors who are not lower than the ninth level, and there are even [-] who have just broken through the Gang Qi realm. As a warrior, my Shanghoumen's current fighting strength will not scare even the great masters of the Four Realms. "

"Five hundred warriors of the ninth level and above, plus nearly forty masters of the Gang Qi realm, are indeed enough to threaten the great masters of the four realms!"

"There is also Gao Changlong with 3000 people behind him. They are the most elite 3000 people in the Zhaoyang Army. They are all above the seventh level of cultivation. Counting these people, not to mention Jinling County, even Fucheng can pose a threat to us. The number of people can only be counted in one hand at most."

"Based on the marching speed, when we return from Fucheng, they should have just arrived at Jinling County. They have to pass through Jinling and Yunxiang counties in the middle of Fucheng. They should go and say hello to the magistrates of the two counties in advance, otherwise there will be three thousand troops. Breaking in rashly can cause misunderstandings."

"Okay, everyone, hurry up and get to Jinling at dawn tomorrow morning for repairs!"

"Yes!"

Xingnan Prefecture is one of the eight prefectures in Yongzhou, and has jurisdiction over six counties: Yuzhao, Jiuxun, Yunxiang, Jinling, Yinling, and Tongling. Among them, Yuzhao and Jiuxun are located to the west, while the other four counties are to the east.

Because Fucheng is located between Jinling County and Yuzhao County, on the way from Wanyang County to Xingnan Fucheng, you have to pass through Tongling and Jinling County. When they arrived in Tongling, they went back to the county to see Hou Yuling, and also asked about the relevant information along the way. After talking to her about the family restructuring, they continued on their way without wasting much time.

Wanyang County is a full 500 miles away from the official road of Xingnan Fucheng. If a person rides alone, it will certainly be very fast, but the Hou family has a total of more than 500 people. Even if [-] people are lost, The Zhaoyang Army with horses walked behind, and the team with horses in front also had more than [-] people, so the speed was naturally much slower.

Before setting off, Hou Yuxiao had already calculated in advance. Hou Yujie led the Hou family team to arrive at Jinling County. It would take three days at the fastest, and five days to get to Fucheng. Counting two days to do business in Fucheng, it would be the ninth day when they returned to Jinling County. At this time, Three thousand Zhaoyang troops just arrived at Jinling.

Everyone did not dare to delay along the way, leaving almost only time to breathe. The rest of the time, most of them were galloping, because they had to return to Wanyang County before September [-]th.

Fortunately, they were all warriors with good cultivation and good strength. The journey was windy and rainy, and no one complained, they just kept on going.

…………

The eighth day of September in the year 1322 of the New Yu Calendar

It's autumn, and in the early morning in Jinling County, the breeze is blowing, and it's already a little cool.

It is said that at this time of year, not many people are going in and out of the city, but at the east gate of the county city, there is a crowd of hundreds of people, looking towards the end of the official road to the east from time to time, obviously waiting. who.

Pedestrians passing by saw this scene and were full of curiosity.

"With so many people, who are they waiting for?"

"I don't know. I saw it early in the morning. Ling Yanyun, Li Pingkai, Zhang Ying, Ge Qian, Qiu Yuanming, and Zeng Fan are all prominent figures in the county. If they were asked to wait here at the same time, could they be from Fucheng? Is the big shot coming?"

"Hiss, I just realized that the head of the Shen family is here too!"

"Isn't that Zhou Juncheng? He is also there."

.........

If these passers-by were just a little surprised to see the six people in front of them, then of course they were really shocked to find that the head of the Shen family, Shen Gufan, and the county magistrate Zhou Hong were also present.

Beidou Club leader Ling Yanyun, Black Tiger Gang leader Li Pingkai, Fenyan Sect sect leader Ying, including Ge Qian, Qiu Yuanming, and Zeng Fan. Although these six people are also well-known big shots in Jinling County, compared with Shen Gufan and Zhou Hong, they are still It's just a hair short of that.

After all, these two people can be regarded as the face of Jinling County!

Needless to say, Zhou Hong not only has the status of a county magistrate, but also has the cultivation level of a great master of the four realms. Unlike Fan Longhe, who is a county magistrate, he also holds the position of warden chief. With one person holding great power, he is a well-deserved leader of Jinling County. Number one.

Shen Gufan is not bad either, his cultivation is on par with Zhou Hong, but there is a huge Shen family behind him. The Shen family has been based in Jinling for more than 100 years longer than the Daluo Sect. The Shen family has many good deeds and is deeply loved. The people of Jinling County love him, and his influence is even higher than that of Zhou Hong.

If these two people can wait here at the same time, who is going to come?

For a moment, everyone was confused...

While everyone was puzzled, someone among the group of people standing outside the east gate also spoke.

"A mere third-rate kid from a small clan, even if he is somewhat famous, can just let the six of Ling Yanyun wait for him. Even if the grand master of the Shen family comes in person, he is not afraid of making a joke!"

The one who spoke was Jinling County Prime Minister Zhou Hong. Although everyone was standing together, Ling Yanyun and the six people were obviously standing closer to Shen Gufan and slightly farther away from Zhou Hong.

This position, coupled with Zhou Hong's strange aura at this moment, clearly shows that the relationship between this county magistrate and the local forces in Jinling County is not harmonious.

Shen Gufan looked calm and replied softly: "Zhou Jun Cheng's cultivation is far superior to me. If I really want to make a joke, I'm afraid it won't be Shen's turn. As for President Ling and the six others, I think they all heard about the Hou family recently." He is so famous that he came to greet him voluntarily. He has nothing to do with Shen. I hope the county magistrate will be aware of it!"

"Yes, the county magistrate has noticed that the Hou family's Shuanglong is now famous. Everyone who practices martial arts in Xingnan Prefecture knows it. The six of us naturally admire the Hou family. After learning that the Hou family is today If someone is passing by, they must show their kindness to the landlord."

"The one who came here today, I heard, is the Demon Confucian Hou Yuduan of Zhaoyang, one of the two dragons. He is the only one who can cultivate Confucianism and study in Yongzhou. It would be a pity if we can't see such a genius and monster with our own eyes!"

"Yes, yes, I heard that those who are in their 20s can be regarded as geniuses even in Bailu Academy. What's more, the fifth master Hou is still in our Yongzhou territory. How can I treat my Fenyan Sect? I have brought all the good seedlings here, I just hope that they can get a hold of Fifth Master Hou’s spiritual energy so that they can practice in the future and have a role model!”

………………

Seeing Ling Yanyun and the other six people respond one after another, Zhou Hong's complexion immediately sank. The scene in front of him can be regarded as one of the true portrayals of his county magistrate, who has been in Jinling County for many years:

If he says a word, Ling Yanyun and other third-rate power leaders will never agree with him, but if Shen Gufan says the same thing, the six people will immediately respond behind him, and even openly oppose him. Gu Fan took the lead, and none of these six people showed any fear...

Shen's position in Jinling County is too strong. He is both the Sicheng and the County Cheng at the same time. To the outside world, he seems to be the number one person in Jinling County. But in fact, in Jinling County, he does not have the final say at all. It was Shen Gufan in front of him.

Zhou Hong relied on the great tree of the Rakshasa Holy Cult and held the dual positions of Sicheng and Commandery. He regarded Jinling as his territory in the early days of taking office, and he naturally hated the Shen family as a roadblock.

Over the years, Zhou Hong has been trying to bring down the Shen family, sometimes by taxing the holy religion, and sometimes by using cliques for personal gain. However, Shen Gufan was flawless and had no handle at all.

When the relationship between the two parties was tense, Zhou Hong even thought of directly destroying the Shen family, but after careful consideration, especially after Shen Gufan showed him a little bit of the Shen family's strength from time to time, he gave up.

Zhou Hong looked at Shen Gufan, who had a calm face, with no concealment of murderous intent in his eyes. After staring for more than ten breaths, he snorted coldly and turned his head away from him.

Shen Gufan didn't care at all and continued to look at the official road intently. Ling Yanyun and the six others, who followed his lead, looked at the end of the official road like him.

………………

The voices of Zhou Hong and others were not concealed. The passers-by who were watching heard their conversation and knew who they were waiting for, and a burst of heated discussion broke out:

"The Demon Confucian Marquis Yuduan of Zhaoyang is the fifth son of the Zhaoyang Hou family who has recently become famous in the Demonic Way?"

"It must be the Double Dragon of the Hou family. The fifth young master of the Hou family is now on the list of new stars in the Demonic Path and is famous in the six states of the Demonic Path. It makes sense that Zhou Juncheng and the head of the Shen family came out to greet him in person!"

"I heard that during the last demonic rebellion, Ding Dian, the warden's chief minister, rebelled and was killed by Shuanglong. Now the Hou family has become the overlord of Tongling. Even Fan Longhe, the county magistrate, can't make any trouble."

"Tsk, that's not all! The Hou family also contributed to the war in the three counties of Hexi. The head of the Hou family, Hou Yuxiao, is now a famous figure in front of Master Fanyin!"

"Hou Yuxiao, Hou Yuxiao the Jade Man with Thousand Faces, Shuanglong is Hou Yuduan and him, right?"

"That's right, I heard that he is less than 30 years old and ranks 93rd on the rising star list, four places higher than his younger brother Hou Yuduan!"

"How can these two brothers be so strong?"

"These are all famous people in our Xingnan Mansion. Now, not only in the city, but also in the whole of Yongzhou, and even in the other five continents, the news of the Hou family's double dragons is spreading everywhere."

Dong Dong Dong…………

At the end of the official road, there was a sudden roar of horse hooves trampling the ground, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Within the range visible to the naked eye, the sky was filled with dust and sand. In less than ten breaths, two red and one black colors appeared. A fine horse came into view.

Those who can wait at the city gate are all warriors with cultivation. Although the distance is still several miles, you can still see the people riding on the two horses in front of them, one red and one black.

Riding on the red horse is a young man in white. He has an elegant temperament, a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, and a handsome and soft face that makes it easy for people to fall in love with him at first sight. He clearly has a bookish spirit about him.But there is a long sword slung around his waist, just like the sword-wielding scholar walking out of the scroll.

On the black horse is a young man wearing dark red clothes. Although he has a handsome face, he is unsmiling. His eyes are slightly sinister, which makes his face even more feminine. He is tall and his eyes often flash with cold light. People who have been scanned feel even more uncomfortable.

The appearance of the two people is similar, but their temperaments are completely different.

"The young man in white clothes is elegant, full of scholarly spirit, and has a calm and restrained aura. The young man in white clothes should be Hou Yuduan, who studied Confucianism; the young man in dark red clothes, whose martial arts cultivation is only at the second stage of Gang Qi gathering evil, and has a feminine temperament, should be that of Hou Yuduan. The fourth son, Hou Yujie, who was rumored to have had his yang roots abolished!"

Shen Gufan revealed the identities of the two people, and everyone else nodded and looked at Hou Yuduan and Hou Yujie with curiosity on their faces.

"It's just two riders, how could they stir up such a huge amount of dust on the official road!"

Just as Li Pingkai's voice of doubt ended, a torrent of horses suddenly roared from the end of the official road. In an instant, everyone present, including Zhou Hong and Shen Gufan, were stunned, and then there was a look of horror in their eyes...

It was a group of about five hundred men in black, each riding a horse with a calm expression. There was also a long string of carriages in the middle, following Hou Yujie and Hou Yuduan, and they galloped without saying a word. .

Normally, five hundred people on horseback would not frighten everyone so much, let alone Zhou Hong and Shen Gufan, two well-informed masters, with such expressions. The key is, these 500 Human cultivation.

"The cultivation level of these 500 people is all above the ninth level, and at least half of them are at the tenth level. There are nearly 40 warriors in the Gang Qi realm. Hasn't this Hou been promoted to the third level for only half a year? How could there be... Such strength?"

When Shen Gufan heard Ling Yanyun's words next to him, he glanced at the more than [-] galloping horses, and then turned his attention to Hou Yujie and Hou Yuduan in the front section, with a slight hint of solemnity in his eyes.

"Dad, my Shen family has been based in Jinling for many years. So far, there are only a thousand tenth-level warriors in the family. It has been less than a year since the Hou family was promoted to the third level. This..."

The person who spoke was Shen Yutian, the young head of the Shen family. He was indeed a father and son. His appearance was exactly the same as that of Shen Gufan, with handsome eyebrows. At this moment, he looked at the five hundred people of the Hou family, with a hint of fear on his face. .

Shen Gufan glanced back at his son, shook his head and said: "Look at things, don't just look at the surface, it's true that the Hou family was promoted to the third rank in less than a year, but you have to see that in less than a year, they all did What happened, Zhaoyang County made a fortune, stationed in Tongling County, helped Master Fanyin break through the three counties of Hexi, and now sits in Wanyang, I am afraid that the two counties of Longxiang and Yangping, if there is no holy religion to intervene, the Hou family may also be pinched It’s in my hands, and it occupies nearly one of the four counties. It’s normal to have this kind of strength!”

After speaking, he paused for a moment, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, and then continued: "However, there is no need to worry too much. If the strength expands too fast, the foundation is destined to be unstable. As far as I know, the Hou family is currently patching things together. It's just that it's easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree, which naturally attracts like-minded people from all directions. But there is also a saying that the tree fell and the hozens scattered. The reputation of the huge Hou family currently lies in the Hou family's double dragons. Once something happens to these two dragons, the Hou family will be overturned, that is, It's just a moment."

Shen Yutian nodded slightly, a clear light flashed in his eyes, he cast an admiring look at his father, and said softly: "Hanedian has learned a lesson!"

While the two were communicating in low voices, Hou and his party also arrived at the city gate.

"I saw two heroic figures from a distance, and the five hundred warriors behind them were even more impressive. I don't think there are many such heroes and elites in our Xingnan mansion. I dare to ask, But the two young masters of the Hou family face each other?"

Zhou Hong's words shocked everyone.

Everyone looked at this Jun Cheng, who used to have a tall image in their hearts, and now he was pretending to be shocked. He was obviously holding Hou Shi in his arms, and his expression suddenly became strange.

Zhou Juncheng, it turns out he also has this side...

Zhou Hong's attitude, not to mention the locals of Jinling County, even Hou Yujie and Hou Yuduan were a little embarrassed. The Hou family is now famous, but Zhou Hong's strength and status are not low. Normally, there is no need to treat him. They were so polite.

Hou Yujie pondered for a moment and couldn't figure it out, but he took the lead and said modestly, clasping his fists: "The Hou family is just a third-rate small family and does not deserve such praise from Zhou Juncheng!"

After saying that, he dismounted directly, cupped his fists and said, "The fourth son of the Hou family, Hou Yujie."

Hou Yuduan also dismounted his horse at the right time and followed him, cupping his fists and saying, "Old Fifth Hou Yuduan."

Then the two of them spoke together, bowed slightly and said, "Greetings to Zhou Juncheng!"

A deep smile appeared on Zhou Hong's face, and he stretched out his hand to invite: "I have already held a banquet at the Sacred Heart Residence to welcome you two. Please come in quickly."

There was a hint of hesitation in Hou Yujie's eyes. They were in a hurry, but Zhou Hong was engaged in such a big battle, so it would be too unkind for him to refuse.

He turned his head slightly and made eye contact with Hou Yuduan, then nodded and said: "You are troublesome, Mr. Hou, please show me the way, Zhou Juncheng!"

"No trouble, no trouble, please come in quickly..."
