Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 297 Shen Gufan’s confidence
The fifth day of December 1325 in the new Yu calendar
Xingnan Fucheng, before Hexi was established, was the easternmost Fucheng in Yongzhou and the largest city in Hexi. The population of Fucheng alone was more than 500 million, and its prosperity was evident.

It is said that with the withdrawal of the Rakshasa Holy Cult, the Xiongyun Gang, as the largest force in Fucheng, should sit back and relax from now on. However, as the leader of the Xiongyun Gang, Wan Renjue, for more than four months, his face has been visible to the naked eye. Too old.

The withdrawal of the Rakshasa Holy Cult not only took away all the personnel of the warden and the government office, but also all the government troops stationed there. As a result, all the affairs of the entire city were placed on the shoulders of the Xiongyun Gang. , after taking over, Wan Renjue realized how difficult it is to be the leader.

In a city with a population of more than 500 million, not to mention major issues such as maintaining public security and mediating conflicts between various parties, even simple eating, drinking, and diarrhea are a big problem. The Rakshasa Holy Sect has never had the experience to govern a city before. As soon as the Xiongyun Gang took over, they were instantly in chaos.

First of all, without the great mountain of Rakshasa Holy Cult, the second-rate and third-rate forces in the mansion began to scheming with each other, and some even secretly colluded with outsiders to plot their own territory in the mansion;
Secondly, there is no one on duty in the Warden Department, and the warriors in the city have begun to act unscrupulously. All kinds of burning, killing, looting and criminal incidents are emerging one after another. Some can be handled, some cannot be handled, and some are committed by their own family members. Wan Renjue Also very anxious.

The two troubles were intertwined. Not to mention that the Xiongyun Gang didn't have enough members, even Wan Renjue, the gang leader, wanted to be split into ten. He was running around all day long, dealing with various affairs in the city. , there is no idle at all.

Internal troubles are troubles, and at most they are just tiring, which Wan Renjue can accept, but external troubles are not acceptable. If this thing is not prevented in time, it will be fatal. Wan Renjue understands that the Rakshasa Holy Cult is a Let's go, Xia Yuan Dao will definitely be in chaos, he went to Hexi, and after seeing Shen Gufan, he became more certain in his heart.

Since he came back from Hexi at the end of June, he made a prompt decision, integrated many forces in the Fucheng, and won the two counties of Yuzhao and Nine Falcons. The warriors of the Xiongyun Gang expanded to more than 40. , he still forcibly pulled out a Xingnan Army of 18 to defend Fucheng and the other two counties.

In addition, of course, they also sent people to keep an eye on the situation of the Shen family in Jinling in the east. When they learned that the 15-strong army suddenly appeared by the Shen family, I felt a chill in my heart. At the same time, I was secretly glad that I had made preparations in advance, otherwise there would be another If you go slower, you will be in big trouble.

But even so, he was still very uneasy.

Xingnan Prefecture has 18 miles, only 11 of which were formed by the old gang. They were originally the private army of the Xiongyun Gang. The other [-] were recently pieced together. They have good cultivation and no fighting ability. no;

But the Shen family is different. In recent years, these 15 troops are all solid clan troops. According to the detailed investigation he sent out, the 15 troops as a whole are far better than the Xingnan Army. Among them, there are also There are fifty thousand, and it seems that it is not even a little better than my own.

………………

The members of the Rakshasa Holy Cult have all withdrawn anyway. In order to better control the city, the Xiongyun Gang's chief helmsman has moved from his original position.

In the main hall of the Fucheng Yamen, Wan Renjue and his nine hall masters were discussing matters in the city. Suddenly, four urgent voices came from outside.

"Report... The West City Iron Palm Gang and the Golden Sword Sect are fighting again."

"Report...hundreds of warriors in the south city are rioting, and they are all heading out of the city."

"Report to the leader of the gang... In the Guangxian Tower of Dongcheng, there are five third-rate forces who have sworn an oath, threatening not to accept the leadership of the Xiongyun Gang, and to secede Dongcheng's autonomy."

"Report... Xingnan soldiers outside the west city committed evil and caused a riot in the city. The young gang leader took people to deal with it. The situation has become chaotic..."

When the first voice came, Wan Renjue showed a hint of impatience on his face, but with the second, third, and fourth voice that followed, he immediately smelled something wrong, and his face suddenly changed. .

There have been countless large-scale riots like this in the city in the past five months, but they only happened every once in a while, rather than concentrated and scattered outbreaks like now, all in the southeast and northwest cities at the same time. Something happened, it almost didn't take a second to figure out what was going on.

"These bastards are so deep that they finally couldn't bear it anymore and gathered together to riot. This must be creating opportunities for Shen. Gang leader, let me take people there. They must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it is likely to get worse and lead to serious consequences. It’s going to be a big disaster!”

"Master, Joe please fight."

"I'll go as well."

"At this critical moment, there must be no chaos in the city."

The nine hall masters were obviously aware of this, and immediately several of them rushed out with angry faces to ask for a fight. Although there were many areas causing chaos at the moment, most of them were third-rate forces. The nine of them were all masters in the master realm, and they led their subordinates to help everyone deal with it. Should not be difficult.

Wan Renjue shook his head and did not agree to his men's request for a fight. He just looked in the east direction with a solemn expression and said to the nine people in a deep voice: "We can't act rashly. In the past five months, we have spent so much time investigating the forces colluding with outsiders in the city, and yet we still... We have missed so many families, and they keep showing up today to cause chaos. They must be cooperating with the Shen family internally and externally, and have made sufficient preparations. The enemy is hidden and we are clear, so we should not act rashly. We must first understand the movements of the Shen family's army and then respond!"

As if to confirm Wan Renjue's words, a rough and wild voice immediately came from outside. Wan Renjue and the nine hall masters stood up in shock when they heard the sound.

"Brother, please report carefully. The Puning County army has disappeared."

"12 troops disappeared, how is it possible!"

Wan Renjue asked in shock, his face full of disbelief.

In order to guard against the Shen family in the past five months, he had made countless preparations. He had long known that the Shen family would place all 12 troops in Puning County, which is the county closest to Fucheng. If nothing else, these 12 troops would be From Fucheng.

Everyone knows that when an army marches, it must take the official road. Since the second brother Wan Renfeng disappeared, he must not have seen this army on the official road. The average county population is only 40 or 12 at most. It is basically impossible to hide all [-] troops.

In line with the riots in the city today, Wan Renjue is almost certain that Shen's army must have come towards Fucheng. How did they get here without following the official route?
A terrifying guess arose in Wan Renfeng's heart, and his face suddenly became extremely solemn.

"Go quickly and inform Lao San to lead the army into the city and prepare to defend against the enemy."

"yes, Sir!"

In order to cover up as much as possible, Wan Renjue placed all 18 troops to the west of Fucheng. Now that it was confirmed that Shen's army was coming, he had to immediately mobilize them into the city to prepare for defense. Fucheng seemed strong, but before the Rakshasa Holy Cult left, The protective barrier has been removed, and we can only rely on manpower for defense. We must prepare in advance.

Wan Renfeng did not leave immediately, but lowered his head and thought for a moment, raised his head and looked at his elder brother Wan Renjue, with a slight look of surprise on his face: "Xuanjie Master?"

The Xiongyun Gang's private army has always been led by him and Lao Sanwanrenshan. The entire Xiongyun Gang's understanding of military matters belongs to the two of them. Of course he knows that the army wants to avoid officialdom. Walking in the wilderness, there is only one way, and that is to have the mysterious realm masters who accompany the army set up formations to cover up the aura and avoid the intrusion of demons.

But Xuanjie masters are generally only available to forces above the earth level. Even if the Shen family has indeed hidden their strength in these years, is it too exaggerated to have earth level strength?
Seeing Wan Renjue's face sinking like water and saying nothing, Wan Renfeng immediately understood that his elder brother's silence at this moment seemed to be the answer.

Shen, there really is a mysterious master!
He no longer dared to delay for a moment, and flew directly out of the main helm, racing against the clock to the military camp outside the west of the city. If Shen's army came over at this time and the army outside the city was not ready, it would be completely over.

Wan Renjue couldn't sit still at this moment, and took the Nine Hall Masters to the city to quell the chaos. At the same time, the second and third elders led the Xiongyun Gang's 18 troops, and only used less than five At that time, everyone entered the city and sealed off the east and west gates. The entire city was in high formation, waiting for Shen's army to come.

In the middle of the night, at the east gate tower of Xingnanfu City, Wan Renjue followed behind a group of high-level Xiongyun Gang executives, looking at the dark wilderness outside the city gate, and the official road with no one in sight, the expression on his face became more and more serious. Became suspicious.

"Second brother, are you really sure that all the troops in Puning County are gone?" Lao San Wan Renshan finally couldn't wait any longer and directly asked his second brother Wan Renfeng who brought back the news.

Seeing everyone's eyes turned to him, Wan Renfeng nodded solemnly to his eldest brother Wan Renjue, and said, "This news was originally reported to me by my subordinates, so I went there personally to confirm it. Wan Dajun is hiding in a county, I can definitely tell, I am sure that Shen’s army is definitely not in Puning County!"

The others had different expressions, but Wan Renjue immediately believed Wan Renfeng's words. He could still trust his second son. Shen's 12-strong army must not be in Puning County anymore. The 12-strong army was just for the attack. In Fucheng, he was sure of this. He had suppressed and investigated the turmoil in the city during the day, and almost concluded that it was Shen's fault. In this case, the target of Shen's army must be Fucheng.

But I haven't called yet, so what's going on?

"Brother, tell me, is it possible that Shen placed that army in Puning County just to confuse us that their first target is actually... Hexi?"

Hexi, Hou family?
After hearing what Lao San Wan Renshan said, Wan Renjue's face suddenly froze, and then there was a strange look on his face. He recalled the situation when Hexi established the mansion, and suddenly fell into deep thought.

This possibility is really not certain. The Hou family's behavior of sitting on the wall and looking both ways without offending anyone is actually quite disgusting and makes people more worried. If the Shen family and the Xiongyun Gang fight, both sides will lose, and the Hou family will just sit back and take it. The biggest suspicion is that fishermen benefit from it.

Is it possible that Shen Gufan really went to Hexi first?
No, no, of the three families in Xingnan Prefecture, the Hou family is the weakest. We will attack Hexi first. Not to mention the movements on my side, if the Hou family is forced to my side, and the Shen family is alone in the middle, it will be in danger. Shen Gufan is not that stupid, he must still come to fight Fucheng, but why not fight directly?
If you don't attack Fucheng directly, where else can you go?
"Oops!"

"Yuzhao and Jiu Falcon!"

Wan Renjue suddenly realized. As soon as he finished speaking, his face changed drastically. Lao San Wanrenshan blurted out. In an instant, everyone present looked back to the west of Fucheng, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Jiufan and Yuzhao counties are both to the west of Fucheng. If the Shen family attacks Fucheng directly from the east, even if the Xiongyun Gang cannot defend Fucheng, they will at least have a retreat, and that is the Yuzhao Jiufalong counties.

The key is that the two counties of Yuzhao and Jiuxian are still the passage connecting Jianye Mansion. If it is really taken away by Shen, then his way to ask for help from Jianye Mansion Pingtianmen will be cut off...

"Brother, I will lead the troops to save the two counties of Jiu Falcon and Yu Zhao!"

Obviously, Wan Renjue was not the only one who realized the serious consequences. Wan Renshan couldn't help but ask for help, but after he finished speaking, his face turned pale.

It took five hours for the 18 troops to enter the city, and they waited here for a long time. Now it is Zishi, if the Shen family really goes around the Fucheng to fight Jiusun Yuzhao, with the defensive strength of the two counties , and the strength of the city, I am afraid it has been captured by now. By the time he arrives with his troops, the day lilies will be cold.

"No, if Shen's army really goes to attack those two counties, it will be too late to rush over now. If they don't go to fight, it will be dangerous for us to move to Fucheng. Let's stay in Fucheng and see what they are doing!"

"Yes, helper."

Wan Renjue looked back to the west with a hint of anger on his face. He had been waiting at the east gate with his army for so long. Looking back now, it was obvious that he had been tricked by Shen Gufan. Naturally, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Shen Gufan was worried that we would ask for help from Jianye Mansion, so he attacked Yuzhao and Jiuxun first. He meant that he thought that Shen would win this battle and we would lose. I want to see what Shen Gufan is doing. What a skill you have, how dare you despise this old man!"

Having said this, he paused, stared at everyone, and continued with a hint of domineering in his eyes: "I don't believe that 18 troops are just waiting for work. In front of Shen's 12 troops, a Xingnan city cannot be defended. , now that the Rakshasa Holy Cult is gone, this Xingnan Fucheng can only belong to my Xiongyun Gang, if anyone dares to come and rob it, I will kill him and never come back."

"The leader of the gang is right. The master of Fucheng can only be my Xiongyun gang!"

"So what about the Shen family? How powerful can a mere second-rate force in Jinling be?"

"Whoever dares to rob will be punished with no return!"

………………

Wanrenfeng, Wanrenshan, Wanxingyun, and other senior officials who were loyal to the Xiongyun Gang, their emotions were suddenly aroused.

Although they took over Xingnan Fucheng because of the departure of the Rakshasa Holy Cult, in the past few years, as the only first-class force in Xingnan Prefecture, they have always regarded themselves as the only one in the city besides the Rakshasa Holy Cult. Second owner.

Besides, in the past five months, although there have been frequent chaos in the city, after all, this is a big city with a population of more than 500 million. As members of the Xiongyun Gang, the treatment they enjoy and the benefits they get are not counted. Of course, it is impossible for them to hand over the city to others so easily.

The emotions of these high-level officials came together, and their voices immediately spread to the people below. Among the many soldiers guarding the city, there were also die-hard loyalists of the Xiongyun Gang. They began to arouse everyone's emotions, shouting "Defend the city to the death" one after another, constantly infecting the people around them. More and more soldiers came, causing them to shout together.

"Swear to defend the city to the death!"

"Swear to defend the city to the death!"

"Swear to defend the city to the death!"

Soon, the sound formed a wave, one after another. The energy and blood soaring into the sky were densely packed together, and the terrifying momentum instantly enveloped the area near the east gate.

Watching this scene, Wan Renjue's eyes suddenly flashed with satisfaction...
