Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 217 Ready to cross the river

"Qingyang Marquis's attack on Longguan County means that the Great Jin supports the Rakshasa Holy Cult. Just like our previous speculation, the Rakshasa Holy Religion dares to take the initiative to start a war with Xuzhou this time because the Great Jin is behind it!

Since the Jin Dynasty openly supported the Rakshasa Holy Cult, and Qingyang Hou Tuoba Tao, the governor of Nanyang Road in Yuzhou, came forward, the threat from the north of the Rakshasa Holy Religion was gone.

During the selection of the Holy Son of the Blood Spirit Saint Sect in Bingzhou, only Li Shengyuan died among the one hundred pre-selected disciples. These pre-selected disciples are inextricably linked to the senior officials of the Blood Spirit Saint Sect. There must be a huge quarrel within the sect at this moment. , in this way, the threat to the west of the Rakshasa Holy Cult is gone.

In this way, the Raksha Holy Cult's war with Xuzhou in the east this time, only the Miao border in the south was unstable, and the situation of being surrounded by enemies was resolved in an instant.

If these situations only happen temporarily, then it can only be regarded as the Rakshasa Holy Sect's luck; but if the Rakshasa Holy Sect had already anticipated it at the beginning of the war, and they were even responsible for the current situation, then this Rakshasa Holy Sect There are experts in the church... "

After hearing what Hou Yuduan said, a strange light flashed in Hou Yuxiao's eyes, and a beautiful figure in blue suddenly appeared in his mind, and a suspicion arose in his heart, but it was just a guess.

However, what Hou Yuling said next immediately affirmed the guess in his heart.

"There is news from Xingnan Mansion that the selection of Bingzhou's holy son has ended. Sikong Yue, the holy lady who was originally in Jiuling Mansion, has gone south. She should be dealing with the affairs of Miaojiang as the old five guessed!"

As soon as Hou Yuling mentioned Sikong Yue, the expressions of Hou Yuduan and the others suddenly became serious. During the Zhaoyang Rebellion at the end of last year, they had all seen the Holy Aunt Sikong Yue with their own eyes, and they had successively defeated two descendants of the Holy Land, Gu Chenfeng and Tian Fazheng. , Sikong Yue left a deep impression on them.

The beautiful figure in blue gradually became clearer in his mind. Thinking of Sikong Yue's strategizing and controlling attitude, and those eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Hou Yuxiao's face was not only solemn, but also full of surprise. After all, he knew everything in the sea. The golden page of merit and virtue is Sikong Yue’s handwriting.

He even suspected that Sikong Yue, who was in charge of Jiuling Mansion, had something to do with such a big event in the selection of the Holy Son of the Blood Spirit Demon Sect.

No matter in terms of strength or strategy, Sikong Yue was definitely considered top-notch. Hou Yuxiao didn't know if there was anyone better than her in the world, but at least he was not as good as Sikong Yue. He was sure of this.

"White Deer Academy and Leiyin Temple have both publicly decided to send troops to support Xuzhou. That means that the war in Hedong is between the Great Jin Holy Dynasty and the Rakshasa Holy Sect, and the Ten Thousand Swords Holy Sect and White Deer Academy The three families of Leiyin Temple and Leiyin Temple, including the quasi-holy land of Leiyin Temple, a small land east of the river, has actually implicated the five holy places!"

Hou Yujie's tone was a little sad. Counting Leiyin Temple, which wanted to get rid of the word "quasi", there were only eleven holy places in the world. At present, nearly half of the holy places were focused on it, and it also included the leaders of the two paths of good and evil. , Jin Dynasty and Bailu Academy.

"It should be more than that, not to mention the previous chaos in Tongling, the Ziqing Sacred Sect, the Dayu Sacred Dynasty, and the Haoran Sacred Sect's three righteous holy places, all of whom showed up. It is difficult to be sure about the Guangmo Dao at present. will blend.

The Blood Spirit Demon Sect in Bingzhou is caught in the Holy Son crisis and is not moving now. After the Holy Son incident is resolved, who can ensure that they will not take action?

Also, will the Moyan Holy Sect just sit back and watch the Jin Dynasty stir up troubles? Liangzhou has been trapped between the three holy places of Fen, Yong, Bing and Sanzhou in recent years. Given the situation, they will definitely seize this opportunity and take advantage of it to expand! "

After hearing Hou Yuduan's words, Hou Yuxiao nodded and stood up, speaking solemnly.

"The thirteen states in the world, which are dominated by the Ten Holy Lands, are interconnected. The relationship between you and me is that you are among us. It is impossible for any one family to be immune to itself.

Not to mention the war in Hedong, there were four holy places directly participating in the war, plus a quasi-holy place, Leiyin Temple. From the moment the army of the Rakshasa Holy Cult officially crossed the border and attacked the three counties in Hexi, the situation in the entire world has changed. .

At the moment, even Dajin itself does not abide by the Jindu Covenant, not to mention the other nine holy places. The great melee will soon begin, and Hedong is just the prologue! "

Seeing that Hou Yujie and the other four people's faces gradually became a little excited when they heard what he said, Hou Yuxiao also felt a slight flutter in his heart.

Hou was born in the devil's path, and she has some warlike genes in her bones, but more importantly, it is because of the chaos that has occurred from the end of last year to now, and Hou has tasted the benefits of it.

During the Zhaoyang Rebellion, the Hou family successfully unified the entire county and was promoted to the third rank; during the subsequent Tongling Rebellion, Hou Yuxiao killed Ding Dian, and the Hou family annexed four major families in one fell swoop. With the collapse of Daluo Sect, the Hou family became even more Successfully entered Tongling; later Zhan Taiqing led an army to attack the three counties in Hexi. The progress made by the Hou family was even more astonishing...

From the end of last year to now, it has been less than a year, but the progress Hou has made is indeed unparalleled in the previous years or even decades.

Crisis, crisis, danger also contains opportunities, the ancients do not deceive me!
The Jindu Covenant has expired, which means that the peace that lasted for 400 years has come to an end. Since the ten holy places have come to an end, it also means that the current situation of the world's thirteen states being divided is about to change.

With the Hou family's current strength, if they want to compete with these holy places for world hegemony, it would be ridiculous to say so. Hou Yuxiao himself has never thought of it, and he believes that Hou Yucheng and the other four will not think so.

However, not competing with the Holy Land for world supremacy does not mean that the Hou family cannot seek their own interests in this great turmoil that affects the whole world. The problem is, and if among them, the Hou family develops fast enough, it is unknown to compete with the prefecture-level or even the heaven-level powers!
This is the reason why the five people are excited at the moment...

"In any case, we are already involved in the Battle of Hedong. No matter how the external situation changes, at least there is the Holy Sect of Rakshasa in front. We only need to grasp the first-hand situation of Yongxu Prefecture and adjust the situation at any time according to the situation. Adjust the family's position and establish an invincible position first before we can seek opportunities for development and growth, and ignore the rest!"

Hou Yuxiao suppressed his mood a little and forced himself to calm down.

It should be noted that danger and opportunity only exist in a thought.

The Hou family has indeed made huge profits from the two turmoils in Zhaoyang and Tongling, but they must also be aware of the dangers contained therein. Let’s not talk about the Tongling Rebellion. Without the special relationship between Lao Wu and Hong Girl, Now, whether the Hou family can survive is still open to question.

Including the ambush in Wanglong Mountain later, the biggest reason for the Hou family's outstanding performance is that in the final analysis, it borrowed the light of the [-] troops of the Raksha Sacred Sect. If it weren't for this, it would be wishful thinking to rely on the Hou family to successfully ambush the reinforcements from the two counties.

This turmoil involves the ten holy places and affects the whole world. A small force like the Hou family, let alone profit-making, may be affected by the slightest carelessness. If you accidentally stand in the wrong team, it will be even more devastating. .

"Second brother, it's already getting late. It's almost time to set off. We have to arrive at the bank of the Tongtian River tomorrow and quickly take stock of the army. Once we're done, we'll set off immediately."

"yes, Sir!"

"My second son and I are going to Hedong. You three just take this time to consolidate the strength of your family. The Holy Sect of Rakshasa definitely doesn't have time to take care of this place right now. You can take advantage of this gap period to expand your family's influence on Tongling, We have strong control over the four counties of Wanyang, Longxiang, and Yangping. When the war in Hedong ends and Hexi Prefecture is officially established, the family will be able to legitimately take over the control of the four counties. Don't let any problems arise by then!"

"Yes, brother!" Hou Yuling and the three of them answered with their hands raised to him. The three of them understood the importance of this matter, and their expressions were extremely solemn.

Hou Yuxiao continued: "After our expedition, only two second-rate forces, Feng Bo Tang and Ming Jian Sect, were left in the four counties. Normally, with the Holy Sect here, these two families should not cause trouble, but we still have to be more cautious.

Most of the power of the two families has been taken away. With a large number of elites from the clan, they don't dare to mess around in Wanyang County, but they are afraid that their masters at the master level will mess around. After all, there is only Lao Wu in the clan. People can deal with them. You should pay more attention to the situation in Longxiang County and Yangping County. Lao San can put people from Xiahoumen there and keep an eye on them at all times to avoid any trouble. It would be bad to be caught off guard! "

Hou Yuling and Hou Yujie glanced at Lao Wu and looked a little embarrassed. Speaking of which, one of them is the third sister and the other is the fourth brother, but their cultivation is not as good as Lao Wu. They are also proud people by nature, although they know that the eldest brother will not blame him. I mean, but I still feel a little uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely practice diligently during this period and strive to break through to the Grandmaster realm before the war in Hedong ends!"

"Like the third sister, I also strive to break through to the master realm as soon as possible."

Hou Yuxiao shook his head slightly and said: "Haste makes waste, I don't insist on this. There is no shortage of money in the clan now, and there are all the cultivation resources. As long as there is enough time, your cultivation will improve sooner or later."

Compared with the outside world, even the successors of the Holy Land, the cultivation speed of the five Hou brothers is definitely not slow, especially Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yuduan, who are even comparable to the successors of the Holy Land, so Hou Yuxiao's words really come from the heart of.

In fact, he has been deliberately downplaying the cultivation situation of the five of them, because he does not want to be too ostentatious. Just the name of the Hou family's Double Dragon probably caused quite a stir. If it were the names of the three Hou Yulings, Cultivation has also caught up, so there is no guarantee that it will not attract more unnecessary attention.

It would be fine if it only attracted general attention, but I'm afraid it might cause some fatal trouble!

It was September 1322, [-] in the New Yu Calendar, and night had just fallen.

Outside the east gate of Wanyang County, more than [-] cavalry carefully selected by Hou Yucheng have been sorted out. Seeing these [-] fully armed Hou's cavalry with solemn expressions, Hou Yuxiao couldn't help but feel a little moved.

He could tell at a glance that among the 500 people, none of them had a cultivation level lower than the tenth level of Kaishen. Nearly one-tenth of them were even Gang Qi realm warriors. Not to mention him, this power was even at the heaven level. Now that the Grand Master is here, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight him head-on.

"As the head of the family, the eldest brother always has a few caring people around him when he is on an expedition. They happen to be warriors of the tenth level. The Zhaoyang Army cannot find so many. I asked Hou Fei to take 100 people from the Kui tribe, and Hou Yinghou Cun brought some of the elite members of the Xiahou clan to follow him, just enough to make up the 500 people."

This arrangement was immediately known to be made by Hou Yuduan. Originally, Hou Yuxiao had an order that warriors from both the upper and lower Hou clans would not be needed for this expedition. However, after hearing what he said, Hou Yuxiao thought for a moment and nodded without saying anything. What.

Having Hou Fei, Hou Ying and Hou Cun around can really save him a lot of trouble.

"We have to get to the bank of the Tongtian River at noon tomorrow. Brother, please take these 500-odd riders and set off first. I will personally lead the 24 troops behind. I should be able to arrive before September [-]th. Then I will meet up with my brother! "

Hou Yuxiao nodded to Hou Yucheng, the second eldest son, and said to Hou Yuduan and the others next to him: "During the Hedong War, if there is any movement in Yongzhou and what is going on in the clan, please send someone to send me a message at any time. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. If If there is any situation, I will send you a message at any time. If I am not involved, the three of you will discuss how to deal with the family in trouble. If anything is undecided, it will be decided by Lao Wu first. If there is time, you can also send a message to you. Write to me!"

"Yes, brother."

Hou Yuxiao stopped talking and looked back at the crowd of five hundred riders behind him. He felt a surge of pride in his heart. He waved his hand and shouted: "Okay, follow me to the bank of Tongtian River and let's go!" "

As soon as the words fell, he rushed out on Juechen in advance, and the horses behind him also started to move one by one, followed him on the official road, and galloped towards the east.

"Third, fourth, fifth, I'm leaving too!"

Seeing Hou Yuxiao and his party starting to set off, Hou Yucheng could not sit still. His [-] troops were already waiting on the official road ahead.

Hou Yuling and the others watched Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yucheng step on the official road one after another and gradually disappeared from sight. They gradually put away the worry in their eyes and turned around to return to the city.

Needless to say, the relationship between the five brothers and sisters, Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yucheng, are going to participate in the Hedong War after all. It would be false to say that the three of them are not worried, but the three of them also know that no matter how worried or what they say, it will not matter. It's better for them to practice hard and improve their strength to be useful.

"Yangping County Fengbo Hall and Longxiang County Mingjian Sect, these are the two families that my eldest brother is worried about now. These are the only two families in the four counties that can cause trouble to the Hou family."

"I don't know how long the war in Hedong will last, but we must solve these two troubles as soon as possible. We can't let my eldest brother go out to war and worry about the situation at home!"

"Yes, we need to solve it quickly. Yue Wenzhu, Ke Jiangyun, and, by the way, Gao Haicheng of the Lingyuan Gao family must all be solved. Don't let brother worry!"

As the three of them returned to the county, they discussed in low voices what to do next.

…………

Hou Yuxiao personally led the Hou family's [-] elite cavalry, marching on a starry night, running wildly without stopping in any city along the way.

Running like this, the speed was naturally very fast. It only took more than seven hours. Before noon on September 1322, [-] in the New Yu calendar, the Hou family and others arrived at the west bank of the Tongtian River.

There are more than ten ships docked at the dock on the west bank of the Tongtian River.

Are the holy army ready to cross the river?
"Master Hou, you are so late!"

Seeing Peng Yuhu approaching him in the distance, Hou Yuxiao quickly put a smile on his face, took a few steps forward, and took the lead to greet him...
