Chapter 304
It was late at night on December 1325, [-] in the New Yu Calendar

Xingnan Fucheng, the chief helmsman of the Xiongyun Gang
In the main hall, Wanrenfeng and Wanrenshan looked at their nephew, Wan Xingyun, who had just taken over the position of eldest brother Wanrenjue's gang leader, with doubts in their eyes.

"Xingyun, did I hear you correctly? You want us to lead the gang's army now and follow the Hou family's army to Longxiang County in Hexi Province. Do we have to arrive within one day?"

"In the battle of Fucheng, the Shen family still has more than 11 troops left. Now we have to take the official road to Hexi, and we must pass through Jinling in the middle. Even if we add the Hou family's [-] troops, as long as the Shen family holds the city and defends it, It’s hard to say whether we can go through Jinling, let alone arrive at Longxiang County within one day!”

After hearing what the two of them said, Wan Xingyun's face did not change and he whispered: "Please rest assured, uncles, Shen's army is no longer in Jinling. Moreover, we will go to Hexi with the Hou family this time, and we don't have to go through official channels." .”

Don't follow the official path?

Wan Renfeng and the other two looked stunned. The appearance of Hou's [-] red-armored cavalry appeared in their minds. In an instant, their expressions changed several times.

"Xingyun, you have been very close to Young Master Hou in the past few days. Honestly, is there support from the Holy Land behind the Hou family? Those [-] red-armored cavalry should not be an army cultivated by them, right?"

The Shen family relied on Leiyin Temple and attempted to enter Xiayuan Dao. During this time, the Hou family had already spread the word. In addition, when the Ximen City was destroyed that day, the three monks who were silent and not angry were also exposed. Knowing their true appearance, Wan Renfeng and the two are not stupid. These circumstances are enough for them to deduce many things.

If it had been known earlier that the real reason why the Shen family attacked Fucheng was that Leiyin Temple was going to station in Xiayuan Dao, the eldest brother Wan Renjue would not have led the Xiongyun Gang army to resist so fiercely. After all, they were the strongest clan in the world. A super powerful force, with the Xiongyun Gang's little wealth, going up against them would be like hitting a stone with an egg.

They resisted the Shen family because they didn't know, but what about the Hou family?
At first, when the Hou family came to help, the two of them didn't see much of anything. But once the siege of Fucheng was lifted and they recovered from the grief of their eldest brother Wan Renjue's death, the two of them thought about it carefully and immediately realized that something was wrong. .

First of all, in Chishui County, Shen Gufan led the Shen family's 11 elite guards to guard the city. How did Hou Yuduan lead an army of [-] to help the city?
Secondly, where did the Hou family get so many troops and those [-] red-armored elites?
Finally, Mr. Hou, why do you dare to come to the aid of Fucheng?
Hou Yuduan destroyed Monk Wuyan's illusory formation at the west gate, and both of them witnessed it with their own eyes. In other words, with the Hou family's background, how could it be possible to train Hou Yuduan to become a mysterious world master;

Furthermore, even if we don’t mention the [-]-strong army, let’s just say that the [-] red-armored cavalry are all above the tenth level of cultivation, and they ride high-grade war horses. They are definitely not something that the Hou family, who has only been around for four years, can train.

Hou's [-] Red Flame Army is definitely the elite of the Holy Land!

The two of them made this judgment in their hearts, and immediately became confused.

The Hou family must have gone to the Holy Land just like the Shen family. Only this reason can explain why the Hou family is so strong.

They knew that Leiyin Temple was going south and wanted to use Shen's power to take control of Xiayuan Dao, so they rushed to Fucheng in time. Shen had Leiyin Temple behind him, and the Hou family also had a holy land behind them, so they dared to come to support.

When the two asked this question at this moment, they actually wanted to confirm their guesses from Wan Xingyun's mouth. Seeing that Wan Xingyun only thought for a moment, he immediately nodded slightly, and both of them fell silent.

"In that case, it was the Holy Land's idea to go to Longxiang County with the Hou family. Nebula, do you know which Holy Land is behind the Hou family? Why do you want us to go to Longxiang County at this time?"

Wan Xingyun shook his head and replied: "I don't know which holy place is behind the Hou family, but I know why you want to go to Longxiang County!"

He paused for a moment, looked up at the two of them, and said seriously: "Both uncles know that Leiyin Temple is going south. Xingyun wants to ask, after Leiyin Temple goes south, how should our Xiongyun Gang deal with it?"

Upon hearing this question, Wan Renfeng and the two men suddenly raised their heads and stared at Wan Xingyun, their faces full of shock.

If Leiyin Temple goes south, what else can the Xiongyun Gang do? Of course, they will hand over the city and surrender obediently. Other than that, there is no other way out.

The key point is that now that Wan Xingyun mentioned that Leiyin Temple went south, the answer is almost obvious as to what they want to do with their army and the Hou family to Longxiang County.

They also know that there is a ferry in Longxiang County.

Leiyin Temple is about to land in Longxiang County. At this time, what else can they do if they go there with the Hou family's assembled army?
To confront Leiyin Temple...

"The Fucheng, which was finally acquired, is just handed over to others. Ruoguang is nothing more than that. Leiyin Temple is one of the three religions of the righteous way. If they are allowed to become masters of the Xiayuan Dao, then our Xiongyun Gang will definitely be regarded as The forces of the demonic sect are suppressing it and may be in danger of overthrowing.

Now that the Hou family has the support of the Holy Land, as long as we follow him to repel Leiyin Temple, Fucheng will still belong to our Xiongyun Gang from now on. We will still be one of the three overlords of Xiayuan Dao, and we can also use this to make good friends with the Hou family. If the Holy Land behind us can be protected by the Holy Land again, we will really be able to sit back and relax in Xia Yuandao from now on! "

Although Wan Xingyun's voice was extremely tempting and his words were also very tempting, and Wan Renfeng and the other two were indeed moved by what they heard, they still did not express their stance immediately.

After the Holy Cult of Rakshasa left, all the forces in Xiayuandao were faced with an embarrassing situation. They were both happy and distressed. They were happy that the mountain of Holy Cult of Rakshasa was not over their heads, and they were distressed that they did not have the sanctuary of the Holy Land. , as long as there are powerful external forces that intend to interfere with Xia Yuandao, they will be extremely passive.

The arrival of Leiyin Temple now is a good manifestation.

As Wan Xingyun said, following the Hou family to defeat Leiyin Temple will not only maintain the Xiongyun Gang's position in Fucheng, but also take the opportunity to establish a connection with the holy land behind the Hou family, which will definitely benefit without any harm.

But this is a victory, what if it is a defeat?

Moreover, it is very likely that he will lose!
"Xingyun, do you know that Leiyin Temple is recognized as the strongest heaven-level force in the world, and is known as a quasi-holy place. There are many masters in the sect, including great masters of the Broken Realm, martial arts sub-sages, and even martial arts saints. Not to mention the Disha monk soldiers and martial arts masters under his sect, they are like the ministers across the river, countless.

Even the Rakshasa Holy Cult was frightened back and gave way to Xiayuan Dao. You should know the strength of the Rakshasa Holy Cult. It doesn’t matter if the Hou family has its back to the Holy Land. Leiyin Temple is preparing to go south this time. The Holy Land is willing to dispatch Use all your strength to resist Leiyin Temple?
Why do you think that we can successfully defeat Leiyin Temple, or where does the Hou family get their confidence, just with the 15 troops of our Xiongyun Gang, plus the Hou family's 11? "

"Second uncle, Leiyin Temple's people are the first group to go south this time. There are only 50 people. The team is only led by the deputy chief Wu Dharma. I don't know the situation of the Hou family, but it depends on the 11 people brought by the fifth master Hou. The army, including us, may be a little short, but what if we add the Shen family?"

Hearing the word "Shen", Wan Renfeng and the other two were stunned for a moment. They raised their heads in astonishment and looked at Wan Xingyun, their faces full of disbelief.

Mr. Shen, isn't he backed by Leiyin Temple?
"Shen's betrayal..."

Wan Renfeng stopped before he finished speaking. He suddenly realized how Wan Xingyun knew about the situation in Leiyin Temple.

Maybe, there is really something to play...

"No, Xingyun, even if we have a chance of winning with this first batch, what will happen later, when the subsequent people from Leiyin Temple arrive?"

"Could it be that the second uncle thinks that there is only one holy land and he doesn't want to see Leiyin Temple go south? As long as I, Yuandao, work together to defeat the first batch of people from Leiyin Temple going south, and let the major holy places in the south see our strength And determination, when the time comes, someone will definitely help us!"

When Wan Renfeng heard this, they looked at each other and struggled for more than ten breaths. Finally, they breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at Wan Xingyun, and said in a deep voice: "In that case, Xingyun, second uncle and third uncle I’ll just listen to you once, and we’ll gather the army and get ready to go.”

"Thank you second uncle and third uncle."

"You are the leader of the gang, so there is no need to thank us. The Xiongyun Gang is the inheritance left by my eldest brother. We should be more cautious. I hope you can understand."

"Second uncle and third uncle are serious."

The two of them stopped talking, exchanged hands, turned and left, preparing to summon the Xiongyun Gang's army to set off.

In the main hall, Wan Xingyun stood alone for a long time. After Wan Renfeng and the two left for almost a hundred seconds, a gentle voice came from the back of the main hall.

"You two uncles, you are really cautious. Fortunately, I stayed here, otherwise, the leader of the Xiongyun Gang might not be your turn to sit."

After the main hall, a young man dressed in white with an elegant and handsome face slowly walked out. Wan Xingyun turned around, looked humble when facing the young man, nodded, and then said:

"Although the middle and higher-ups of the gang support me, my two uncles not only have high cultivation levels, but they have also been commanding the Xiongyun Gang's army. After my father's death, at least [-]% of the army listened to them. If it weren't for the Fifth Young Master, The army stayed in the city to intimidate me, and then deliberately showed off my friendship with me in front of the gang members. It is really difficult for me to take the position of leader of the gang. I have a lot of work for you this time, young master!"

"You are now considered a member of my Hou family. Helping you is also helping myself. There is no need to thank me. Thanks to you for persuading Wan Renfeng and the two, and with Xiongyun helping the 11 troops, Longxiang Crossing will be more secure. .”

"Wan is honored to serve the Lord!"

Looking at Wan Xingyun's pious look, Hou Yuduan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The enslavement method used by his elder brother was really terrifying. Wan Xingyun's father, Wan Renjue, was personally killed by Shen Guyun's leaders, but Shen Guyun was also Hou Yuxiao's person. , based on this calculation, Hou Yuxiao is Wan Xingyun’s real father-killing enemy.

But when Wan Xingyun mentioned the word "Master", even his tone was filled with a strong sense of humility and respect. This clearly meant that he recognized Hou Yuxiao as his master from body to heart. The key was that he had not lost his independent personality. Talk, act and practice everything just like normal people...

"Unfortunately, my elder brother said that this method of enslavement has limitations and cannot be used at will, and it also depends on the level of the other party's destiny.

But that's right, if such a terrifying method can be used arbitrarily without limiting the number of people, it would be too scary. "

Hou Yuduan shook his head slightly, regained his composure, turned around and walked towards the back of the main hall, and said: "We have to arrive at Longxiang County before No. 20. Brother, please make arrangements in advance. Without further ado, you are also ready to follow us." Go over there!”

"Yes!"

.....................

December 1325, [-] in the New Yu Calendar, noon
Longxiang Ferry, after the Rakshasa Holy Sect's army came back from participating in the war in Hedong, almost no one went to Hedong from here. Similarly, there is still a war in Hedong, and there are very few people coming over, so the ferry has always been semi-abandoned. status.

Especially at the beginning of the year, the demonic activities in Tongtian Mansion became more and more frequent, and two serious murder cases occurred during this period. The place was completely deserted for a time, and it completely became a restricted area for humans. Even if there is something really wrong, if you want to cross the river, you will Choosing to take a detour to the south, even if the distance is dozens of times longer, is still better than losing a life.

It was not until April, after the Hou family reached cooperation with Tongtian Mansion, that the east and west banks were no longer blocked, and the ferry began to be used again. However, because the east of the river was in a wartime state at the moment, and only the boats of the Hou family could pass, people coming and going could not pass. Still not much.

The situation of the ferry's recovery is naturally not that optimistic.

For example, at this moment, there are only three boats parked in the entire ferry, and they are only more than ten feet long. It is estimated that they can only carry 500 people. The boats are all hung with Hou's two-color lotus flag. Only Liao Liao is on the entire ferry. There were dozens of people, and judging by their clothes, they were almost all warriors from the Hou family.

Suddenly, more than a dozen people galloped from the west on fine horses. Those who were busy at the ferry turned their heads to see who came, and hurriedly put down their work, and bowed to the leader, a square-faced man. , respectfully said: "Meet the Deputy Commander Wang!"

Wang Gong looked in a hurry. Facing the salutes of the crowd, he just gave a slight hum and rode directly through the crowd. He did not stop until he reached the waterside of the ferry. He then took out a golden seal from his arms and looked at it twice. , while mobilizing the Dantian's true energy to inject, he saw the seal glowing brightly and threw it directly into the water.

hum

When the seal touched the water, the entire river suddenly made a light stirring sound. The sound seemed loud and small, far and near. There was no movement on the water surface, but it was clearly conveyed to Wang Gong's heart.

Wang Gong is now also a master of the second level of Grand Master's magical power. He holds a high position in the Hou family and is well-informed. However, the situation before him still made him look surprised.

After just over ten breaths, a hand suddenly stretched out from the water and gently held the golden seal. Then an old man with a thin face, a friendly expression, and a goatee on his chin slowly rose from the bottom of the water. out.

"Wang Gong pays homage to Mr. Cui!"

When Wang Gong saw the old man, he immediately dismounted and bowed to salute.

He knew Cui Pan. When the Fifth Young Master got married in June, it was Cui Pan who came to Tongtian Mansion to send congratulatory gifts. The head of the family said that this Cui Pan was a fifth-level great demon that was equivalent to a Yin-Yang Holy Realm warrior. Facing such a powerful monster Even though the demon knows that Tongtian Mansion has a good relationship with his family, Wang Gong still feels a little nervous.

"Why are you looking for me?"

"The head of the family specifically asked me to ask Mr. Cui if there has been anything unusual on the river recently. Are there any ships from other forces sailing besides me, the Hou family?"

Judge Cui frowned, shook his head, and said: "I have an order from Tongtian Mansion that no outside ships are allowed to enter the Tongtian River without permission. Who dares to break in and seek death? Why would the Master of the Hou family ask this?"

Wang Gong's expression hesitated, as if he was hiding something. When Cui Pan stared at him, he cupped his hands and said, "Then it must be that the head of the family has received some false news. No one would dare to disobey the Tongtian Mansion's order."

After all, he was planning to turn around and leave, but Cui Pan frowned at this moment, and waved his hand directly to keep him.

"If you have something to say, just say it, no need to act like this!"

Wang Gong was exposed directly, so he could only smile at first, and then said seriously: "The head of the family has received accurate news that Leiyin Temple's warship is only a thousand miles away from Longxiang Ferry. He thought Leiyin Temple had obtained Hebo I only entered the Tongtian River Basin with your permission, so you asked me to ask questions on purpose, but Master Cui didn’t know about it, so it seems that the news the family master got is false..."

Cui Pan's face quickly turned gloomy, and he disappeared from the water before Wang Gong could finish speaking, leaving only a hasty sentence.

"I'll go back and inform the master of the palace first. Thank you very much, Master Hou, for reporting the news!"
