Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 243
October 1323, [-] in the New Yu Calendar, Tongling County

The demon rebellion during the Rakshasa Festival last year caused indelible and huge damage to Tongling County. The population of the county dropped sharply from nearly 200 million to more than 40. There was no one left alive in Baiye County. Yulin County also suffered a certain degree of damage. Of the damage, only Zhaoyang County remained unscathed.

Although the pain caused by the demon is heavy, just like a deep wound will slowly heal over time. After more than a year of treatment by the Hou family, Tongling County has slowly returned to life.

Although the population has not yet returned to its previous level, the buildings in the city are lined up, and shops, houses, and households are also inhabited. There are more and more pedestrians on the streets, especially as the war on the east side of Hedong continues longer and longer, thousands of people are... Many civilian warriors from Yang, Longxiang, and Yangping counties moved here with their families, causing Tongling's population to grow faster and faster.

"Yun Ye, I thought that the Demon Sect only has three counties in Hexi and does not have county ministers and Sicheng. I didn't expect that this is also the case in Tongling. Tongling County is not affiliated with Xingnan Prefecture. Does Xingnan Prefecture have any objections to this?"

In Tongling Sacred Heart Residence, two young men wearing red armor and dressed as soldiers were sitting by the window. One of them looked outside through the window, his eyes full of curiosity and asked the young man opposite him.

"Peng Yuhu, Yin of Xingnan Prefecture, is currently fighting in the east of Hedong with Master Fanyin. I'm afraid he doesn't have the heart to take care of things here. Even if he does, this decision was made by Master Fanyin. How dare he oppose him?"

After Cheng Yunye finished speaking, he paused and looked through the window to the left side of the Sacred Heart Residence and continued: "Besides, everyone knows about the establishment of Hexi Prefecture. Tongling will definitely be taken out and join Wanyang, Longxiang, and Yangping. The three counties form the Hexi Prefecture, and the new governor must be the head of the family. Then the head of the family will be on an equal footing with Peng Yuhu, so why should he take the risk of disobeying the master and offending my family, the Hou family!"

The man nodded immediately after hearing this. He followed the sight of the young man named Cheng and happened to see a huge mansion located on the left side of the Sacred Heart Residence. The exact size of the mansion was difficult to see from just sitting in the Sacred Heart Residence. , but just the door that was three or four meters high made him look envious.

The gate is in vermilion as a whole, with carved dragons and phoenixes on the top, embellished with gold, silver, pearls and jade. On both sides, there are two golden pillars that are enough for three people to hug each other and are more than ten meters high. There are layers of gold paint, but anyone with a sharp eye can see that the two pillars are actually made of pure gold.

The combined weight of the two pillars is probably several thousand kilograms. This means that the two pillars at the entrance of that huge mansion are worth hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. How many rare treasures are there? Bao Na is even more unimaginable.

Right above the mansion, the four big characters "Hexi Marquis Mansion" are extremely conspicuous. People who come and go stop and look sideways. Seeing those four characters, there is more or less awe on their faces.

On the left and right sides of the gate, there were five burly soldiers in black armor standing on each side. Among the people coming and going, there were some strong casual warriors. They were in awe when they saw the gate. When they discovered the cultivation of those soldiers, It turned out that the lowest level of Kaishen was the seventh level, and his expression suddenly changed.

Seventh-level warriors and above are enough to serve as the backbone of third-rate forces, but in the Hou family, they are just gatekeepers...

"The gatekeepers are the soldiers of Zhaoyang, I guess. Their energy and energy are quite good, but unfortunately they are not good enough compared to us. Forget about their cultivation level. If it is a battlefield confrontation, even if we have ten times the strength, our Red Flame Army will probably be able to do it." Crush them."

When Cheng Yunye heard this, he nodded slightly and said: "Not only is the Zhaoyang Army's cultivation level lower than ours, but they have not yet practiced the Red Flame Military Code. Although our Red Flame Army only has more than 3000 people, it is easy to deal with them. But brother Ding, please be careful, it doesn't matter which of the Zhaoyang and Chiyan armies is stronger or weaker, they all belong to my Hou family anyway!"

"That's true!"

Ding Cheng nodded, as if he had thought of something, and asked in a low voice: "Yunye, the commander gave you five Yuan Gang Pearls last month. By the time you return to Baiye County this time, your cultivation should be almost breakthrough, right? "

"Going back to the Baiye Barracks this time, I will definitely be able to break through!"

Hearing Cheng Yunye's affirmative answer, Ding Cheng's face suddenly showed envy.

"If you break through the Gang Qi realm, you can hope to compete for the position of team leader. If you become the team leader, you will have a monthly salary of 500 taels and three Ning Gang Pills. You can enter the treasury to choose two third-rate martial arts and one second-rate martial arts. Martial arts, tsk tsk..."

Cheng Yunye knew all the benefits Ding Cheng mentioned, but after hearing it, his face still showed excitement. The silver coins in front were okay, the three Condensation Pills and the martial arts in the back, especially a second-rate martial arts, It really made his eyes light up.

He and his sister Cheng Yundie were not from a high background, but they were not low either. The Cheng family of Longxiang was just a third-rate small clan. Their father was also a martial artist in the Gang Qi realm. They also had knowledge of Jianghu martial arts and spiritual elixirs. He had a certain amount of contact with them, so he knew the value of second-rate martial arts. Before the Cheng family was exterminated, the entire clan only had three martial arts that had just entered the mainstream. He had never even seen a second-rate martial arts.

But now, he will soon be able to practice second-rate martial arts!

As long as he can break through to the Gang Qi realm, it will not be difficult for him to compete for a position in the Red Flame Army.

Thinking back on the brother and sister's experiences over the past year or so, Cheng Yunye felt a little like he was in a dream.

A year ago, the Longxiang Cheng family was exterminated by their enemies. He and his sister Cheng Yundie narrowly escaped being hunted. When they arrived in Tongling County, they happened to learn about the Qinglong Order, so they decided to buy one with all their belongings and hired the Qinglong Society. The killer, avenging the Cheng family.

Recalling this incident, Cheng Yunye couldn't help but have a sense of absurdity in his mind. Looking back at the dangers of the Rakshasa Festival the year before last, and the scene where monsters were raging all over the city, it is still a bit scary to think back to this day. If the two brothers and sisters were not lucky at that time, they met After marrying the Fifth Young Master, let alone buying the Azure Dragon Token, there is still a question of whether this life can be saved.

After that incident, Cheng Yunye finally realized that before he had the strength, even if he had money, wanting to avenge his father was still wishful thinking. The key was to have strength. So after thinking over and over again, he and his sister decided to join the Hou family.

This decision was not made on the spur of the moment. The most important thing is that the lives of the two brothers and sisters were saved by the Fifth Young Master, and the Hou family was kind to them;
Secondly, after a demon rebellion, it was a foregone conclusion that the Hou family would take over Tongling, so joining the Hou family was naturally the best choice;

In the end, the Hou family broke the sky and became a third-rate force. Both brothers and sisters had cultivated at the seventh level or above, and joining the Hou family would also receive corresponding attention.

It wasn't until he joined the Hou family that Cheng Yunye realized that he knew nothing about the Hou family's strength. He originally believed that although the Hou family had two master-level warriors, the head of the family, Hou Yuxiao, and the fifth son, Hou Yuduan, they were still only a third-rate force after all. The other warriors below were definitely not strong, but after learning the truth, he was immediately confused.

In addition to the head of the family and the fifth son, the Hou family had at least more than 50 Gang Qi realm warriors at that time, and there were even hundreds of warriors who had reached the tenth level. Warriors like the two brothers and sisters who had reached the seventh level or above would have even more There are thousands of people...

The Cheng family is also a third-rate force. Cheng Yunye knew very well that a normal third-rate force could not be of this size. While he was completely confused, he was also extremely excited that the two brothers and sisters could join the Hou family. After all, they were also members of the Hou family. , the stronger the family, the more secure the brother and sister will be in terms of safety and development.

But looking back now, two years ago, it was just the beginning!

After the Tongling Rebellion, the head of the family, Hou Yuxiao, followed the Holy Cult to attack Wanyang County. From the moment they attacked Wanyang County, the development of the Hou family began to advance by leaps and bounds, just like sitting on a rocket.

According to Tongling, Wanyang, Xia Yangping, and even Longxiang County, where the Cheng family was originally located, were also defeated. Of course, the one who contributed the most in the process was definitely Rakshasa.

The Holy Religion, but the role played by the Hou family should not be underestimated. The most important thing is that the Holy Religion seems to have tacitly agreed to be governed by the Hou family in the three newly conquered Hexi counties. Even today, these three counties and cities under their jurisdiction In all the counties and cities, the Hou family is still in charge.

Moreover, after the Hou family announced that the holy religion would establish Hexi Prefecture, all the people living in the four counties, whether they were ordinary people, warriors, or even some influential forces, all knew that from now on, these four counties would belong to the Hou family. The final say.

The Hou family now occupies the territory of one government and four counties, and has more than 400 warriors under its jurisdiction, including more than 7000 warriors in the Gang Qi realm, more than 5 warriors at the tenth level and above, nearly half of them at the fifth level and above, and [-] Multiple people.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yunye shook his head slightly. He didn't know much, but he also knew some information about the mainstream forces. With Hou's current strength, it was almost comparable to the first-class forces. How could it be that they were still only third-rate forces.

The first-class power needs to have warriors in the Yuandan realm, and the Hou family does not currently have one, but he himself is a soldier of the Red Flame Army. He knows very well that the strongest strength that the Hou clan can display at present, not to mention the warriors in the Yuandan realm, is Yin-Yang Holy Realm warriors are afraid...

Regardless of the masters of the upper and lower Hou clans, the clan's [-] Zhaoyang Army and [-] Chiyan Army alone are enough to sweep across the four counties of Hexi. As long as the Holy Cult does not interfere, the entire four counties of Hexi, it is the Hou Mansion that has the final say , even the ordinary forces in Xingnan Mansion would not be able to get involved. I am afraid that only the Xiongyun Gang would dare to challenge the Hou family!

The battle on the Hedong side is still going on. According to the relationship between the family and the Holy Church, since they have a lot of troops at the moment, they should send troops to join the battle. However, the [-] troops in the mansion showed no signs of moving.

Our Red Flame Army has been practicing secretly in the vacant Baiye County. The Red Flame Raging Wave Holy Army Code is of great importance, and it is understandable that it cannot be disclosed to the outside world. However, the entire army is practicing in hiding, and no outsiders are allowed to approach. , which is a bit intriguing.

The relationship between the family and the Rakshasa Holy Cult is probably not as good as imagined. But with so many private soldiers being secretly trained, the family might still want to...

The more Cheng Yunye thought about it, the more horrified his eyes became. He did not dare to continue thinking. People are not fools. Whatever he could think of, some of the more than 5000 brothers in the Red Flame Army must have thought of it, but everyone tacitly abided by the family Rules mean that they are accepted in the heart.

Troubled times are about to arise, and it is not surprising that the head of the family has such an arrangement. They are all warriors with good cultivation. In addition to strength, what they pursue is nothing more than wealth and fame. The Hou family can satisfy them, and they obviously have high potential. They are willing to follow the Hou family!
The other brothers in the army probably thought so. Cheng Yunye looked at Ding Cheng in front of him slightly. He was a good example. Ding Cheng's background was not as good as him. Before that, he was just a casual cultivator at the eighth level. Later, he broke through to The tenth level of cultivation, withstood the test of the clan, and joined the Red Flame Army. The two were assigned to the same team, and they had similar temperaments, so they gradually became familiar with each other.

This is what Ding Cheng told him before.

He is different from Ding Cheng. In addition to seeing the potential of the Hou family, he also received the life-saving grace of the fifth son Hou Yuduan, and after the family took over Longxiang County, he also helped them repay the favor. Cheng's hatred, these two kindnesses alone are enough for the brother and sister to serve the Hou family well.

Effectiveness, I'm afraid it's still troublesome now!
Cheng Yunye shook his head slightly and smiled helplessly. The brother and sister did have the idea of ​​repaying their kindness, but their strength was really too low.

He managed to break through to the tenth level of opening body, thinking that he could finally have a little sense of presence, but he joined the Chiyan army, and found that the tenth level of opening body was just the minimum standard for selecting soldiers in the red flame army.

My younger sister, Cheng Yundie, also joined the lower sect led by the third young lady Hou Yuling. After entering, she also found that she had reached the tenth level of cultivation and could barely reach the threshold.

Judging from the current speed of the family's development, I'm afraid that if he breaks through to the Gangqi realm, his help to the clan will be very limited. Unless he reaches the Grandmaster realm, he can really help the family and the fifth master. , after all, there seem to be only seven master-level warriors in the clan except for the five young masters, and the total number is only twelve.

"This dream came from me. I haven't even broken through to the Gang Qi realm, and I have returned to the Grandmaster realm. When I become a Grandmaster, I'm afraid the head of the family and the Fifth Young Master will have cultivated to the Yin-Yang Holy realm!"

Comparing people to each other is so irritating...

Thinking of the Patriarch and the Fifth Young Master, as well as the Second Young Master, the Third Miss, and the Fourth Young Master, the five brothers who are only three or four years older than himself, Cheng Yunye kept shaking his head. It's a bit terrible.

But he was not too discouraged. If it was just a little bit short, he might still feel a little frustrated. But if it was too much, it would be nothing. What's more, looking at the world, those who can compete with the five brothers and sisters of the family in talent People, I'm afraid I can't find many.

"Brother, aren't you leaving today!"

A voice interrupted Cheng Yunye's thoughts. When he looked up, he realized that his sister Cheng Yundie had walked to the table. Cheng Yundie had something clearly hidden on his face. While talking to him, his eyes were focused on the back of the Sacred Heart. Over there at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

By the way, today is Dianmao day, and we have to go back to Baiye Camp!
Cheng Yunye and Ding Cheng suddenly remembered that the [-]-day vacation in the military was over, and they had to rush back to the Baiye Camp to report today, they stood up without delay, and hurriedly prepared to go out.

Suddenly, Cheng Yunye thought of something again, following his sister's line of sight, he also looked at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and suddenly saw Wu Yangyang, a group of people riding horses, stopped at the door, he was stunned, and patted his head Said: "I almost forgot, today is No. 15, the day when the Fifth Young Master is inspecting the Baiye camp, let's not be in a hurry, we can just set off with the Fifth Young Master later!"

Ding Cheng also woke up and turned around, nodded, looked at the gate of the Hou Mansion, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "Look, the fifth young master is here, eh, who is that one in blue clothes? How dare you walk in front of the fifth young master?" ?”

Walking in front of the Fifth Young Master, Cheng Yunye looked over quickly. When he saw the Tsing Yi, he recognized it immediately. There was a deep look of reverence in his eyes, and his expression gradually cheered up: "That's the head of the family. The head of the family is also going to be here today." Go to Baiye Camp!”

After Cheng Yunye finished speaking, he turned back to say goodbye to his sister, but saw Cheng Yundie staring intently at the fifth young master who had just dismounted. Although his face was helpless, there was still not much emotion in his heart.

In the four counties of Hexi, there are so many girls who are infatuated with Hou Yuduan, the fifth young master of the Hou Mansion, that they can't even count them. Some of these girls have never even seen the fifth young master, and they are going crazy with obsession. What's more, my younger sister Cheng Yundie, before He was even saved by the Fifth Young Master himself.
