Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 216 Three news about Hou Yuling
The Rakshasa Holy Cult was keeping such a close eye on Wan Renjue. Not only did they greet Wan Renjue in advance, they also deliberately notified Hou Yuxiao before Hou Yujie and Hou Yuduan came back, asking Hou's [-] troops to set off quickly. Obviously, they were aware of the upcoming war in Hedong. Very important.

In this case, Hou Yuxiao, who has realized the power of the Holy Land, has to start preparations for the expedition intensively, even if he doesn't want to, and prepares to go into the muddy waters of the Hedong War.

According to the previous discussion, Zhan Taiqing said that the Hou family wanted to pull Tongling out and join the three counties in Hexi to establish Hexi Prefecture. So this time the Holy Sect went to Hedong, the Hou family would have to take the lead in all the incoming forces from the three counties to come out of the two counties. Thousands of soldiers and horses, it can be regarded as a vote for the Rakshasa Holy Sect.

The establishment of Hexi Prefecture is inevitable for the Hou family. The significance of this is not only to expand the territory, but also has another huge benefit. The Hou family will have almost no difficulty in being promoted to the first class in the future.

No matter what force in the world, the biggest difficulty when promoting to the first stream is actually not the standard limit. A third-rate force only needs to have Gang Qi realm warriors. A normal force, no matter how talented the disciples are, will only have one or two Gang Qi realm warriors. Still not difficult.

The biggest difficulty is actually to replace the forerunners. If you want to be promoted to a third-rate force, usually you have to replace another third-rate force. In the county, this is the only way, because at most there is only one third-rate force in a county. ;
Even in a county where many third-rate forces coexist, in most cases, you still need to replace other third-rate forces. After all, there are only so many resource businesses in a county. You were promoted for no reason and there is no matching one. The support of industry and business cannot support the family's children, and in the end it is difficult to escape the end of destruction.

In the same way, Hou's current pressure to be promoted to the second tier is gone. After all, whether it is Tongling or Wanyang, Hou can now make the decision.

But it would be difficult to be promoted to the first class...

The third rate cannot leave the county, the second rate suppresses the county magnates, and the first rate, then they have to Zhenfutai. The Hou family is staying in Tongling County, and if they want to be promoted to the first rate, there is only one way, and that is to replace the Xiongyun Gang, the old first rate force in Xingnan Prefecture, but at the moment , Zhan Taiqing provided a new way for the Hou family, which was to take out Tongling County and form Hexi Prefecture together with the three counties in Hexi.

Replacing the Xiongyun Gang, which has been inherited for more than 700 years, and the Hexi Mansion, which will naturally dominate and will soon be established, these two roads to becoming a first-class force, which one is simpler is self-evident.

Hou Yuxiao's choice was made without any hesitation. When she heard Zhan Taiqing proposed the idea of ​​establishing Hexi Mansion, Hou Yuxiao knew that the Hou family had been grasped by Zhan Taiqing. She obviously understood what the Hou family wanted.

The Hedong War was dangerous, and the Hou family really did not want to participate in it, but the conditions were not attractive enough, and it happened that Zhan Taiqing's Hexi Mansion proposal was an offer that Hou Yuxiao could not refuse.

On the third day of September, during a meeting at Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower, the Hou family killed seven leaders in a row, making all the incoming forces in the three counties see clearly the Hou family's determination to establish the Hexi Prefecture. In addition, it was currently at war, and the three counties All affairs are under the control of the Hou family. Naturally, no one dares to object to sending troops to support the Holy Religion.

On the day Hou Yujie and Hou Yuduan returned from Fucheng, disciples from all the second-rate forces in the three counties, led by the two second-rate forces, Mingjian Sect and Feng Botang, and all the disciples from the three counties who were preparing to be sent to join the war, all arrived in the county one after another.

Knowing the news of the arrival of the crowd, Hou Yuxiao quickly sent Hou Yucheng and three people to welcome the heads of the 28 factions to the main hall of the waiting mansion, and he himself waited there early.

The Marquis Mansion has now become the central government office for handling all affairs of the three counties. After the main hall has been expanded several times, it can accommodate more than hundreds of people. The total number of the heads of the 28 influential families in the three counties and their entourages can only be With hundreds of people, it didn't feel crowded even in the main hall.

"Fengbo Hall, send 2300 troops."

"The famous sword sect sent 2300 troops."

"Gao, send 1500 troops."

"Qinghu Gang, send 300 troops."

"Hualing Sword Sect, send 400 troops."

"Zhang, send 350 troops."

…………

As the 28 families entered the mainstream, they came forward one after another to report the number of disciples they had brought this time, and then submitted a name sticker. Hou Yuxiao sat upright and waited until the 28 families reported the number of disciples, with a look on his face. The look of satisfaction never stopped from the beginning.

The two second-rate forces, Feng Bo Tang and Ming Jian Sect, are actually weaker than the original Da Luo Sect and Tian Ding Sect. According to Hou Yuxiao’s knowledge, these two sects have at most five warriors above the fifth level. It is only between 2300 and [-], and [-] people can come out, which is enough to show the sincerity of the two companies.

The Gao family could also produce 1500 men, which was somewhat beyond Hou Yuxiao's expectations. It seemed that the Gao family had always been known as a third-rate man, but his strength had already reached the second-rate standard.

Except for these three families, basically each of the other 25 families in the three counties mobilized more than 300 people, and the most was 500 people. Between a hundred and a thousand is considered very strong. So looking at it this way, the attitude of these 25 third-rate forces is naturally very cooperative.

While Hou Yuxiao was satisfied, he also knew in his heart that the reason why these people were so cooperative was probably because they were frightened by the banquet at Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building on the third day of September.

"You are so supportive of the Holy Religion and the Hou family. I am grateful to you. This expedition is dangerous and I dare not make any guarantees. However, please rest assured that I will do my best to contribute to the Holy Religion." At the same time, we must try our best to save the lives of our disciples!

Of course, the military merits on this battlefield are all counted by the Holy Cult. Regardless of the efforts of each disciple, the military merits will be recorded on the individual's head. As long as the soldiers bravely kill the enemy, no matter whether they are individuals or the forces they belong to, the Holy Cult will indispensably reward them. "

Hou Yuxiao said these words quite seriously.

Of course, supporting the Holy Religion is the most important thing in sending troops this time, and the Hou family is one of them. As for the military merits, even if he did not mention it, everyone should know that the protagonists of this war are the Holy Religion and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. The huge financial resources of the Chasheng Sect will naturally bring benefits if they really make meritorious deeds on the battlefield.

"Patriarch Hou, you are being polite, we are now the people of Yongzhou, and it is only natural to contribute to the holy religion!"

"The battlefield is dangerous. Since we sent the disciples here, we have already made psychological preparations in advance. How can we blame the Hou family master!"

.........

Everyone was really cooperative. Hou Yuxiao glanced at the list in his hand, with a smile in his eyes. He handed the list to Hou Yuduan next to him, then raised his glass and drank with these people one by one.

After a while of pushing cups and changing cups, the 28 influential families also left the Hou Mansion one after another. They had to go down to explain their disciples. The main hall was quickly cleaned up by the servants, leaving only the four of Hou Yuxiao. It seemed that Somewhat empty.

"The 28 forces have a total of 13150 people. None of them are warriors in the Gang Qi realm. Ninety-five percent of their cultivations are at the fifth level and three at the tenth level. These people are really 'carefully selected' ah!"

Hou Yuduan's tone was slightly mocking. When Hou Yujie and Hou Yucheng heard this, they immediately reacted and frowned.

Army soldiers must have at least the fifth level of cultivation, and 28% of them are at the fifth level. This means that the disciples sent by these [-] forces are almost all warriors who have just started to be warriors.

Hou Yuduan's "careful selection" is obviously a mockery. These more than 1 people were sent by various families deliberately with poor cultivation. It is estimated that they must be disciples who are not valued by each family.

"After all, they are working for the Holy Religion of Rakshasa. These people were coerced by us and had no choice but to join us. If we add sand to the team and are afraid of being blamed by the Holy Religion, we can only minimize the losses. Naturally, we should try our best to send as many people as possible. The valued disciple has saved the elite disciples!"

Hou Yujie's tone was slightly cold. Although he understood why these people did this, it didn't mean he had no emotions. After all, these people were not only fooling the Rakshasa Sacred Church, but even the Hou family. He naturally treated these people Not much to look at.

"That's not necessarily true. In fact, the fifth-level Kaishen are already considered elite disciples of the mainstream forces. People like Yue Wenzhu are just trying their best to avoid losses. With 13150 people, they have almost drained [-]% of the mainstream forces in the three counties at once. They are elite warriors, and it is normal for them to feel physical pain. It should be impossible to continue to intimidate them, even warriors in the Gang Qi realm!"

When Hou Yuduan said these words, he kept looking at his eldest brother Hou Yuxiao, worried that he would continue to threaten those powerful masters.

However, his worries were obviously unnecessary.

A faint light flashed in Hou Yuxiao's eyes, and he said softly: "I was afraid that they would send their elite disciples over. Sending such a large group of underappreciated disciples over here is exactly what I want!"

"What do you mean?"

The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and Hou Yucheng asked directly.

"People who are not valued often don't have a strong sense of belonging. This expedition to Hedong is inexplicably dangerous. These people were sent by their own family, and they probably knew in their hearts that they were here to die. Do you think they have any objections in their hearts?

As long as we operate properly and treat this group of people with care, do you think that after the war is over, these people will still want to return to the forces that sent them to die? "

When the three of them heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"13150 people, plus the 5000 people from my Hou family. Among the other seven annihilated forces, aren't there many warriors who are above the fifth level and want to join my Hou family? How many people are there? "

The person in charge of this matter during this period was Hou Yucheng, who stayed in the county. Hearing this, he immediately replied: "There are a total of 3350 people in this group, and they are all still in the counties. I can inform them now to let them Come to the county town to assemble!"

Hou Yuxiao shook his head and said: "No need, time is very tight, let's directly inform them to go to Longxiang County. We will set off tonight. Six hundred war horses will go first. According to the cultivation situation, Gangqi realm warriors can With top-grade war horses, the rest of the fine-bred war horses are given priority to the top ten soldiers.

Setting off tonight on horseback, we should be able to reach the bank of Tongtian River tomorrow. The army is marching behind. It doesn't matter if it's a little late. When the army arrives at Longxiang County, we can gather these more than 3000 people in, and then we can go to the bank of Tongtian River together. "

"Yes, brother, I'll go down and inform you right away!"

When Hou Yujie saw Hou Yucheng leaving in a hurry, he took a step forward with a look on his face and said, "Brother, please take me with you on this expedition to Hedong."

Hou Yuxiao shook his head. He had already said that this expedition to Hedong was mainly for the Rakshasa Holy Cult, so only 5000 people from the Zhaoyang Army were used. Then Hou Yucheng would definitely go. Although the warriors of the Hou clan are elite members of the family, But I won’t go this time.

If Hou Men doesn't go, then Hou Yujie, the commander of Hou Men, will naturally not go either.

"You and the fifth child will not go this time, and I will take the second child with me. The east side is the matter of the Rakshasa Sect. It is not very important to us. The family's affairs are the most important thing. Heavy.

The three prefectures of Hexi have been initially decided. You stay in the clan to be optimistic about Mingjianzong and Fengbotang. In addition, you have to start to integrate Tongling and the three Hexi counties. When the Battle of Hexi is over, the four counties will all belong to Hexi Prefecture! "

"yes, Sir!"

"Understood bro."

Hou Yuduan looked deeper than the fourth child. Hearing Hou Yuxiao's words, he immediately nodded in understanding and responded to him in a solemn tone.

Although Hou Yujie was a little depressed because he could not go to Hedong, he thought about it and finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you go down first and join the second brother, and distribute [-] sets of armor and weapons to the soldiers first, as well as the [-] war horses. We will set off tonight, and we are in a hurry!"

The two of them cupped their hands and retreated together.

…………

The official road distance from Wanyang County to Longxiang County is about 500 miles. It will take at least three to four days for 2 people to march at full speed. It will definitely be too late to reach the bank of Tongtian River tomorrow to join Zhan Taiqing's army. .

Hou Yuxiao could only retreat and do the next best thing. He took the five hundred cavalry on the road first. With the war horses and only more than 500 people, the marching speed was much faster. It only took half a day at most to reach [-] miles. If we set off at night, we will probably arrive at noon tomorrow, just enough to meet the date Zhan Taiqing set.

During the intensive preparations of the four brothers, Hou Yuling, who had been in Tongling for several months, suddenly came to Wanyang County.

Hou Yuling rushed straight into the Hou Mansion in a furious manner. All the warriors of the Hou family knew her, so naturally no one dared to stop her.

"Hurry up and inform your elder brother, as well as the second master, fourth master and fifth master, that I will be waiting for them in the main hall. There is something important. Hurry!"

"As you command, Miss Third!"

Hou Yuling was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the main hall restlessly. Only when Hou Yuxiao and the other four people came back with doubts on their faces did she show an expression of relief.

"Brother, there is important news!"

Seeing the solemn look on Hou Yuling's face, Hou Yuxiao realized the seriousness of the problem. Hou Yuling was commanding the lower house, and she had always been responsible for collecting external intelligence. So Fengfenghuohuo came to Tongling in person. If the news was not important, she would definitely Not so.

"Speak!"

Hou Yuling nodded, and after calming down for a moment, he spoke slowly.

"There are three pieces of news. The first one is that Tuoba Tao, the Marquis of Qingyang, the governor of Nanyang Road in the Jin Dynasty, led his [-] wolves to slaughter the guards on the second day of September. They defeated Longguan County and broke into Guangling City. In front of everyone in the city, In human face, Xizhao Sword Head was seriously injured!"

After hearing the first news, Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yuduan immediately looked at each other. The two of them had expected Jin's intervention in the war between the two states before, so they were not too shocked at the moment.

"Second, the results of the Bingzhou Blood Spirit Demon Sect's Holy Son Selection came out on the fifth day of September. Their selection rules are to release a hundred young people from the Demon Sect who are under 30 years old and have the highest cultivation talent, and let them fight freely. With a period of three years, the nine people who survived in the end will be the Nine Great Sons of the present age!"

Hou Yuling first introduced the Blood Spirit Demon Sect's Saint Son selection rules, and then continued: "On the fifth day of September, it has been determined that the remaining 99 pre-selectors were all killed by a man named Li Yuansheng. In other words, Li Yuansheng became The only contemporary son of the Blood Spirit Demon Sect has been confirmed to be the next generation Holy Master of the Blood Spirit Demon Sect!"

hiss…………

Hou Yuxiao and the four others took a breath of cold air. There is no need to go into details about the difficulties in selecting the successors of the Holy Sect. Based on what they had seen before, Tian Fazheng, Sikong Yue, Tuoba Huang, and the four killed Gu Chenfeng. , you can imagine it.

If Li Yuansheng just became the Holy Son, then Hou Yuxiao would be surprised at most, not so horrified, but he killed the other 99 people and became the only Holy Son, and was also designated as the next generation Holy Master of the Demon Sect. This is amazing.

"Third sister, what's the other news?" Hou Yuduan continued to ask.

Hou Yuling nodded, looked at Hou Yuxiao, and spoke in a solemn tone.

"White Deer Academy and Leiyin Temple have announced to the world that they are preparing to send troops to support Xuzhou Wanjian Holy Sect. The three families have joined forces. Not only are they threatening to take back the three counties in Hexi, but they are also..."

At this point, Hou Yulin paused.

"Total destruction, Rakshasa Demon Cult!"
