Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 287: Split the soil and seal the territory, becoming famous everywhere ([-])
The influence of the establishment of a government in Hexi can be said to be large or small, but it is not small at all. Compared with the 64 counties of Yongzhou with three provinces and eight prefectures, Hexi has only four counties under its general jurisdiction, which is not really big;

But from another perspective, it is a bit eye-catching that among the eight prefectures in Yongzhou, Hexi Prefecture was added, and there was no Rakshasa Holy Cult involved in the whole process.

More importantly, the location of Hexi is just adjacent to Xuzhou, with only a Tongtian River in between. In the past three years, many wars between Yongxu and Xuzhou were concentrated here.

Especially now, there is no news from the main altar of the Raksha Holy Religion, and the situation is unknown. Hou Jing, Prince of Wuwei in the Great Jin Dynasty, is still entangled with the Three Great Holy Lands of Zhengdao.

Hexi happens to be in the middle of the two states of Yong and Xu. Now that Dayu is overthrown and the world is in chaos, many discerning people can see its importance at this juncture, which leads to Hexi, not to mention the lack of attention.

With the conclusion of the Hexi government establishment, the participating forces from the four prefectures left each other, and the situation about the Hou family was completely spread in Yongzhou through their mouths.

It is foreseeable that the three battles between the five Hou family members in the Sacred Heart Residence will spread all over the country through the mouths of these people, and the most amazing battle between Hou Yuxiao and Shen Gufan will also cause unexpected events. Praise is passed down.

You must know that it was only two short years ago that Hou Yuxiao was on the Rising Star List of the Demonic Dao. He was able to defeat Shen Gufan, who was at the peak of the Yuandan Second Realm Supernatural Ability Stage, only by one move, and what he used was not what he was good at. Stick weapons, at the banquet held by the Hou family that day, someone had asserted that Hou Yuxiao would definitely be on the list of giants in the magic way this time.

Hou Yucheng, the second eldest son, and Hou Yuling, the third eldest son, who were previously unknown to the Hou family, have become famous after this battle. It can be said that the next issue of the Demon Dao Rising Stars List has been booked in advance.

This means that the five brothers and sisters of the Hou family will all be on the list of new demon stars in Da Jin. In the hundreds of years since Da Jin established the list, this has never happened. Five people from one force have been on the list at the same time. On the list of new stars in the magic world, it can be said that Hou made history.

At the banquet, Shen Gufan deliberately made up the "Five Tigers of Hou Men" gimmick to stir up trouble. Although Hou Yuxiao's soft words defused it, with the success of Hou's defense of Hexi, the idea of ​​a "Five Tigers of Hou Men" was no longer It completely spread among the people.

Of course, these things will continue to ferment over time. For everyone in the Hou family who has seen off many guests, there are not many changes that can be felt at present. They only know that the banquet is over and all the guests from the four houses have left Hexi. In an instant, this place in Hexi completely belonged to the Hou family.

Everyone in the Hou family fell into madness...

In just six years, from a humble family in a small street in Zhaoyang, he unified Zhaoyang, took control of Tongling, marched into Wanyang, conquered Xuzhou, and now became the master of Hexi.

Too fast, really too fast...

Everyone in the Hou family still couldn't believe it, especially Hou Fei, Hou Ying, and Hou Cun. These old members of the Hou family who had been there all the way were relieved for at least three to five days.

Until they were walking on the streets, heading to Wanyang, Longxiang, Yangping, and many counties under the jurisdiction of the Hou family, when they saw everyone looking at the Hou family lotus icon on their chests with envy, admiration, and even flattery. , they were really sure.

The Hou family has become the real master of Hexi!
…………

The main hall of the Marquis Mansion.

Hou Yuxiao was sitting alone and meditating. Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the door. He opened his eyes and saw Hou Yucheng and four others walking in. After gesturing for the four of them to sit down, he asked: "Are you all sent away?"

"They all left. Wan Renjue and Shen Gufan were the fastest. They were obviously wary of each other. It seems that the eldest brother guessed well. The Shen family and the Xiongyun Gang are really going to start fighting for the Nanfu!"

Hou Yucheng's tone of answer was inexplicably excited, especially when he mentioned Zhengxing Nanfu, his eyes were even brighter. Seeing his expression, Hou Yuxiao immediately knew what he was thinking.

"Second brother, don't get too excited. It's not appropriate for us to get involved in the Xingnan Mansion dispute now. The eldest brother deliberately hid his clumsiness yesterday and accepted the overtures from Shen Gufan and Wan Renjue just to paralyze the two families so that I, the Hou family, could stay out of the matter. of."

After hearing Hou Yuduan's words, Hou Yucheng looked stunned, but he was not stupid either. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and immediately understood what Lao Wu meant. He turned to look at Hou Yuxiao and asked doubtfully: "Brother, don't you want to compete for Nanfu?"

Seeing the expressions of Hou Yuling and Hou Yujie, Hou Yuxiao knew that only Lao Wu had seen his intention. After thinking for a moment, he asked Hou Yucheng: "Let me ask you, whose is Xingnan Mansion?"

Hou Yucheng said without hesitation: "Of course they are from the Rakshasa Holy Cult, but isn't the Yongdu General Altar in civil strife at the moment? All the Holy Cult masters from Xiayuan Dao are in Yongdu. The Shen family and the Xiongyun Gang also saw this situation and dared to Are you interested in Xingnan Mansion?"

"The Raksha Sacred Cult is only in civil strife, but it is not perishing. The masters of Xia Yuandao have only gone to Yongdu, and they are not all dead. The Xiongyun Gang and the Shen family are now fighting for joy. Once the main altar is over , the civil strife is over, think about it, what will be the fate of these two families?"

On Hou Yucheng's face, there was a hint of deep thought.

"The news from the main altar is unclear, we must not act rashly. With the current strength of our Hou family, offending the Holy Land will be a dead end!
What's more, the situation of the war between Hou Jing of the Jin Dynasty and the three Zhengdao families on the other side of Hedong is unclear. We are now participating in the battle for Xingnan Prefecture and fighting against the Xiongyun Gang and the Shen family. Even if we win, our vitality will be severely damaged, and we will be completely injured. Confirm the charge of apostasy.

At that time, if Hou Jing turns around and attacks Hexi, without the help of the Holy Cult, it will be tantamount to a disaster for me, the Hou family!

In the past few years, because of Sikong Yue and Zhan Taiqing, our relationship with the Holy Cult has always been good. It is not worth risking the charge of apostasy for a mere Xingnan Mansion.

Stick to Hexi, wait for news from the Holy Church General Altar, pay attention to the changes in the situation on the east and west sides at any time, and the right way is to remain unchanged in response to all changes! "

After hearing Hou Yuduan's words, Hou Yucheng and the others immediately understood.

Hou Yuxiao looked at Lao Wu, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. He nodded and said softly: "Everyone understands the principle of fishing in troubled waters, but you must also see your own strength. The only place in the world that can cause chaos is the Holy Land. I, the Hou family, do not have the capital. , if you are not careful, you will be doomed, so you must be careful every step of the way!
The more chaotic the situation becomes, the more cautious we must be. The Xiongyun Gang and the Shen Family started staring at the Xingnan Mansion so early, but little did they know that they were pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, which was extremely dangerous. "

Hou Yuxiao paused for a moment, and another cold light rose in his eyes.

"Besides, Xingnan Mansion is right next to us, and we can know the movements of the Xiongyun Gang and the Shen family at any time. They don't know the current strength of my Hou family, but once the two families really start fighting for Xingnan Mansion, they All the strength will be revealed. Even if the Holy Cult really has no time to take care of them and they both suffer losses, we can still openly intervene in Xingnan Mansion under the banner of hoeing traitors for the Holy Cult."

These words immediately made Hou Yucheng and the others’ eyes light up!
By the way, this time when the Hexi government was established, only the five of them were shown by the Hou family. The real family background was not revealed at all. Hou Yuxiao even kept his hand when fighting against Shen Gufan. It can be imagined that the Shen family and Xiongyun Gang, their attitude toward Hou Shi must be more contemptuous, which can be seen from the fact that the two of them successively expressed their kindness to Hou Shi.

If they really valued the Hou family, they should not show goodwill, but turn against each other, and even join forces to deal with Hexi first. Both families showed goodwill to the Hou family at the same time, obviously because they were worried that the Hou family would associate with the other party to deal with them. Hou Yuxiao's reaction to the two families' overtures was the same, which was to show that the Hou family would not participate in the dispute between the two families.

"In this case, we are just sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers. Whether we can become fishermen depends on the news from the Holy Church Headquarters and Hou Jing's movements in the east of the river!"

Hou Yuxiao nodded, his eyes suddenly condensed, and said: "What I am most worried about is actually the Shen family. This time, Shen Gufan dared to expose his strength in a big way, and he also expressed his ambition to compete with the Xiongyun Gang for Xingnan. Regarding the government’s attitude, he must have some information about the Holy Church. Sanniang, you don’t have any news yet?”

Hou’s intelligence agency, the Xiahoumen, should have already spread all over Yongzhou. It is said that Hou Yuling, the commander of the Xiahoumen, should have received news from Yongdu long ago, but since Hou Yuling didn’t say anything, it must be Yongdu There was something wrong with the spies over there. Hou Yuxiao had actually expected it, and at this moment he just wanted to ask about the situation.

As expected, Hou Yuling's face immediately darkened.

"Since the beginning of March, there has been no news from the people in the Yinhu stalls in Yongdu. The contact person in Zhongyuan Daocheng wrote back, saying that Yongdu has been completely blocked and will last until the Rakshasa Festival. At present, only a few people can enter and leave. , Rakshasa Festival is still one month away, we are more than 4 miles away from Yongdu, and it will take half a month at the earliest to send a letter, and if we want to wait for news from the Yongdu General Altar, I am afraid it will not be until mid-August at the earliest!"

Xiahoumen is divided into twelve stalls. Yongzhou is a place that the Hou family wants to manage for a long time, so it is naturally the focus. Hou Yuling directly places all 200 people in the Yinhu stall in Zhongyuan Road, as long as there is valuable information , it will be immediately sent back to Hexi through contacts in various places.

"Yongdu is sealed off. It seems that the turmoil in the Holy Cult is not small this time!"

A ray of light flashed in Hou Yuxiao's eyes. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want the Rakshasa Holy Religion to be destroyed, or not now. After all, the Hou family's biggest backer at the moment was still it.

Once the holy religion is overthrown, it will be a disaster for all the forces in Yongzhou. When the trees fall and the hozens disperse, and everyone switches to a new holy place, the end will be considered good; If the strongman is eyeing him, he will die in a matter of minutes.

"Who is the stall owner of Yinhu stall?"

"Cheng Yunye joined our Hou family two years ago. He is young but has good talent. In just two years, he has broken through from the eighth level of Kaishen to the second level of Gangqi. He served in the Zhaoyang Army before, and later I saw that he was clever and clever. Acting safely, I transferred him to Xiahoumen. He has been watching over Yongdu for the past six months and has also sent back a lot of important news. He should be reliable, no problem!"

Hou Yuxiao nodded. Today is the first day of July. Yongdu will not lift the blockade until after the Rakshasa Festival on July [-]th. It will indeed be mid-August at the earliest when the news comes back.

"Just wait for the news, and don't forget to keep an eye on Hedong. Only we can pass through the Tongtian River at the moment. If there are any changes in Hedong, please notify me as soon as possible.

Hexi has been completely belonged to my Hou family. Whatever ideas Lao Wu has, he can use them at will. As long as it can improve the strength of the family, everything will be according to Qin's wishes. Lao Si will take people from the Hou family to thoroughly investigate the demons lurking in the territory. Dealing with those things as soon as possible can save us a lot of trouble. Second brother, you should continue to go to Baiye Camp to train soldiers. When Baiye Camp is used, you can't let me down! "

"yes, Sir!"

The four of them answered in unison, with extremely solemn expressions.

Watching the four people leave, Hou Yuxiao's eyes narrowed slightly. He turned around and walked to the back of the main hall, opened a secret door and walked in slowly.

It was very deep behind the secret door. Hou Yuxiao walked down for more than 30 breaths before he saw a glimmer of light.

The moment the bright light appeared, a hoarse roar reached his ears.

"Bastard, let me go. I am Prince Dayu. If you dare to lock me up, when I get out, your ten Hou clans will be destroyed."

"Do you think it will be okay if you lock me up? There are great scholars in the academy who know my whereabouts. Once they know my whereabouts, they will come back here immediately to rescue me. Then I will definitely kill all your Hou family members!"

"Bitch, let me go, I'm going to kill you, kill you, kill you!"

…………

The eighth day of the tenth month of the year 1325 of the New Yu Calendar

In the far north of China, Yuntian Town.

After all, it is in the extreme north, and the town is almost covered in ice and snow. The houses inhabited by dozens of families appear to be very strong. No matter how strong the cold wind is, they still stand. The chimneys on the roofs continue to emit thick smoke. The smoke shows that the temperature in the room is not low.

Outside one of the inconspicuous houses, a man in black robes was standing at the door, shaking his head and sighing.

There were lights flickering in the house, reflected on the windows, and the figures of three women could be vaguely seen. They were surrounding a pregnant woman on the bed, and there were bursts of painful sounds coming from inside.

Apparently, three women were delivering the baby on the soft couch.

"Wow……………"

A loud cry of a baby came from inside, and the man in black robe shook his body. Although his expression could not be seen clearly, a heavy sigh came from his mouth.

"Hey………"

Even in the ice and snow, this sigh is still clear.

"It's been born, it's a big fat boy. Come and see, sir!"

The three women quickly packed everything neatly, and one of them didn't open the door yet. Although she was a little scared when she saw the man in black robe, she couldn't help but congratulate him and let him in.

The man in black robe did not move, but just threw a bag to the woman. The woman took the bag and opened it. When she saw the gold inside, she immediately beamed with joy and bowed to him repeatedly to express her congratulations.

"Elder Brother, come in!"

The man in black robe hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked in.

On the soft couch, Zhan Taiqing was holding a baby. Although his face was pale, his expression when looking at the baby was full of tenderness and love.

Although the baby did not open her eyes, she seemed to be able to feel Zhan Taiqing's love for her. She made babbling sounds and moved into her arms. From time to time, she also let out two crisp laughs, which was obviously unusual.

"Miss, the master's foundation is at a critical moment. The brothers in Yongdu are waiting for you. You have given birth to this child and you can't take him with you. What are you going to do? Hey..."

After hearing Duanmuhong's words, the smile on Zhan Taiqing's face suddenly stopped. Looking at the baby in his arms, sadness gradually rose in his eyes.

"Isn't this simple? As long as Aunt Qing gives up her position as the leader of the church, and then gives me the child to raise, the foundation of the holy religion can be stabilized, and the die-hard loyalists left behind by grandpa can also be used by me. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? The best of both worlds!"

A crisp voice came from outside the door, and Duan Muhong's expression changed. Zhan Taiqing, who was sitting on the soft couch, turned to look at the figure in blue walking slowly from the door. For the first time, there was a trace of panic in his eyes. The hand holding the baby also Unconsciously, he increased his strength.

"Aunt Qing, do you think Yue'er won't be able to find you if you hide here?"
