Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 335 The six-year-old little devil
The fifth day of the eighth lunar month, 1331 years of the New Yu Calendar
Hexi Fucheng, the main hall of the Hou family

On the main seat, Hou Yuxiao was sitting cross-legged, practicing with his eyes closed.

Although four years have passed, his appearance has hardly changed. After all, he is only 35 this year. Even for an ordinary person, this age is not too old. What's more, he is still a warrior. If his cultivation is included, , even in a few decades, his appearance will probably still be the same as it is now.

The appearance has not changed, but the temperament has been completely different.

The space around his body looked a bit illusory to the naked eye, giving people the illusion of refraction of sight. The whole person sat cross-legged, like a static sculpture, obviously unable to detect any breath, but yet intimidating.

Especially behind him, a black singularity loomed, and the powerful momentum exuded from it had a faint tendency to tear the space apart, making his whole person even more mysterious and powerful.

"Master, the second master and the third miss are here!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door. Hou Yuxiao's eyes suddenly opened, and two black divine lights rushed out from them. If he had not withdrawn them in time, the two divine lights would have penetrated the entire main hall and shot into the sky.

"Let them in!"

Four years have passed, and the Hou family has more and more rules. As the head of the family, he is not someone who can be seen casually. Even if Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling come to see him, the guards at the door must inform him first. OK.

Hou Yuxiao himself was unwilling to do this, but he couldn't bear Lao Wu's insistence. In Hou Yuduan's words, the Hou family is no longer the Hou family before. These rules can give him, the head of the family, a certain degree of mystery, which will help him improve his career. The majesty in the minds of the tribesmen is very useful and necessary.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother."

"Qianyang state, a year, and breakthrough again!"

When Hou Yuxiao saw the two people walking in, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

The Hou family now has a big business. Even if he is always in charge of Fucheng, he can't always see Hou Yucheng and the four of them. Hou Yucheng is in charge of all the Hou family's armies and is in charge of the defense on three sides of Hexi. He is always around Hexi;
The third son, Hou Yuling, is in charge of the lower Hou clan and collects outside information for the family. He is not only in Hexi, but also sometimes goes to other states. It is even more rare to come back once.

The last time I saw the two of them, they were both at the third realm of Yuan Dan. Unexpectedly, they had broken through to the Qianyang realm in just one year. Hou Yuxiao was naturally a little surprised.

"Hey, if I can't keep up with you and the fifth child, I can't fall behind the fourth child!"

Hou Yucheng showed a trace of pride on his face, but Hou Yuling next to him showed no pride at all. He just looked at Hou Yuxiao and asked with a hint of curiosity: "Brother, what level of cultivation are you at now?"

Since the incident at Wanglong Mountain four years ago, Hou Yuxiao has never made a move. Regarding his cultivation, Hou Yuling is not the only one who is curious. Hou Yucheng also looks at Hou Yuxiao above, with a hint of expectation in his expression.

Four years ago, although Hou Yuxiao was defeated at the hands of Fahai, there was no doubt about the strength of the martial arts sage. Four years later, would the eldest brother...

"It's not as exaggerated as you think, but it's barely enough for now!"

As soon as he saw the expressions on Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling's faces, Hou Yuxiao knew what they were thinking. He did not tell them directly, but said something unclear, which made Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling's faces become more curious. People still want to continue to ask, Hou Yuxiao hurriedly looked serious, and talked about the business.

"I'm not calling you back this time to inquire about my cultivation. Sanniang, you came back from Xuzhou. How is the situation in Hedong and the five Zhengdao states to the east?"

Seeing Hou Yuxiao asking about business, Hou Yuling also hurriedly straightened her expression. Last year, she led six members of the Hou family to collect news from various states in Xuzhou. This time, Hou Yuxiao asked her to come back, and she was already prepared. After sorting through the information in my mind, I quickly said it one by one:
"Let's talk about the Hedong side first. After King Wuwei captured Xingyuan Dao City two years ago, he has been holding back his troops and concentrated on conquering Xingyuan Dao. It is obvious that he planned to occupy it for a long time. Gu Tianyun led the remaining troops to retreat to Jiangdong Dao and responded with Dongyuan Swordsman. Join the army together in the sky.

After losing the Xingyuan Dao, the Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect became anxious. They recruited almost all the powerful disciples of Jiangdong Dao. Currently, there are 280 million troops in the entire Jiangdong Dao, but among them, there are only 80 elite golden armor troops of the Ten Thousand Sword Saint Sect. , 200 million of the remaining 100 million are from the Silver Armor Army, and the other 100 million are temporarily formed by all the incoming forces. Their combat effectiveness may not even be as good as the Silver Armor Army! "

Hou Yuxiao frowned slightly and said: "If I remember correctly, King Wuwei's Tianwei Army only has 50 troops, and the previous attack on Xingyuan Road should have suffered a lot. Jiangdong Road has an army of 280 million, and they dare not counterattack Xingyuan Road." road?"

"Brother, the mighty Tianwei army in the hands of King Wuwei is more than 50 at the moment!"

Hou Yuling's tone was a little low as he explained: "King Wuwei probably did not try his best when attacking Xingyuan Dao. According to the information obtained by my spies in Xingyuan Dao City, in February of this year, another 30 Tianwei troops came from Yunlan Ancient Jiangnan. Next, those should be King Wuwei's old troops in the Jin Dynasty. The first 50 troops attacked Xingyuan Road, and the losses were only about 70, so the total number of Tianwei troops at present should be more than [-].

In addition, in the past two years, King Wuwei has been concentrating on Xingyuan Dao, and he has also recruited local warriors to reorganize a Xingyuan army, which is said to have millions of people. "

The million-star original army, plus the 70 Tianwei army, this is an army of 170 million. With a martial arts master like King Wuwei personally sitting in the city, if the Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect does not show its true character, it can only rely on Gu Tianyun and Ying Changtian's two sword heads want to counterattack and recapture Xingyuan Dao, but I'm afraid it's not very realistic!

Then Xuzhou, why don't you dare to take action and send some powerful people over?
"Brother should have guessed that Xuzhou is currently in trouble."

Hou Yuling also knew what Hou Yuxiao was thinking, and immediately explained: "It's not that Xuzhou doesn't want to take action, the main reason is that there are Jiaozhou troops watching in the east!"

The matter between Ziqing Sect and King Wuwei is no longer a secret.

Hou Yuxiao had guessed four years ago that the reason why King Wuwei dared to confront the two holy places in Xuzhou was because of the support of the Ziqing Holy Sect. Now it turns out that this is the case. The news behind Hou Yuling also confirmed his previous guess.

"Two years ago, King Wuwei captured Xingyuan Daocheng. In less than two months, the 200 million elite Taiyi Army under the Purple Qing Sect of Jiaozhou were on Xuzhou Jiangdong Road. Although they have not crossed the state border, the distance is very close. .

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jiaozhou is providing cover for King Wuwei. If Xuzhou dares to act rashly, the Purple Qing Holy Sect will send troops to Jiangdong Road, and they will attack Jiangdong Road with King Wuwei on the left and right.

Once the two armies break through Jiangdong Road and form a merger, Xuzhou will only have Chenliu and Nanping Road where the sect is located. The situation will not be good. Therefore, Xuzhou is also very cautious at present, only defending but not attacking, trying to keep Jiangdong. The truth is not lost. "

Hou Yuxiao thought for a moment, raised his head and asked, "Where is White Deer Academy?"

"Yangzhou and Yanzhou are the strangest!"

Hou Yuling was obviously a little confused about this matter, and said: "There is still a part of the Qingyang Army in Bailu Academy, staying in Jiangdong Road under the command of Gu Tianyun. It is said that they must be on the side of Xuzhou, but Xuzhou is under the control of Ziqing When Shengzong threatened, not a single soldier from the two academies in Yangzhou and Yanzhou came out. They were completely on the sidelines, but at the same time they did not withdraw the Qingyang army from Jiangdong Road. This made me a little bit uncomfortable. I understand, I guess many people can’t understand what the academy is thinking.”

Hou Yuling's confusion was immediately understood by Hou Yuxiao.

When King Wuwei first attacked Guangling Mansion, a total of two Zhengdao families sent troops to support Xuzhou. One was Leiyin Temple, which sent out [-] Disha monk soldiers, and the other was Academy, which sent out a total of [-] Qingyang troops. When Gu Tianyun lost Xingyuan At that time, there were still some remnants of the Qingyang Army, and they were retreating to Jiangdong Road with Gu Tianyun.

According to normal logic, if the academy and Xuzhou are on the same side, then the Xuzhou border is threatened by the Purple Qing Holy Sect. The academy will not stand idly by, because Yangzhou and Yanzhou are both adjacent to Jiaozhou. As long as the academy also has Chen Bing on the border of Jiaozhou, then the academy will The crisis in Xuzhou will be solved immediately.

If the Academy does not move, it means that they do not want to help Xuzhou, but the Qingyang Army in Jiangdong Road does not withdraw, which is obviously a bit inconsistent.

However, Hou Yuxiao had already figured this out.

"It's easy to understand. Since the Battle of Hedong, the academy and the Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect were the first to jointly deal with the Jin Dynasty. However, as King Wuwei and the Jin Dynasty seemed to be inseparable, they also reached a substantial alliance with the Ziqing Saint Sect. Now many people Everyone speculates that King Wuwei may turn against the Jin Dynasty at any time. Can you tell me which threat is greater to the academy, the Jin Dynasty or King Wuwei?"

When Hou Yuling heard this explanation, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Even Hou Yucheng on the side understood it and said: "If I understood it correctly, the eldest brother is saying that the academy is more afraid of the Jin Dynasty than King Wuwei, so a force that is about to counter the Jin Dynasty will sit back and watch him grow. , is more appropriate than helping Da Jin to extinguish him, so the academy doesn’t want to help Xuzhou to rescue him?”

"That's not right. Xuzhou has already lost the Xingyuan Road, and the academy has done this. If Xuzhou loses the Jiangdong Road again, the Wanjian Saint Sect will lose so much, and the academy..."

Hou Yuling suddenly paused, and the expression on his face gradually became more exciting.

Hou Yuxiao turned to look at the map of China hanging behind him, and sneered: "The Academy is playing a balance trick. No matter how powerful King Wuwei is, it is not a holy land, and it will also pose a threat to the Jin Dynasty; use the territory of Xuzhou to support King Wuwei cultivated enemies for the Jin Dynasty, which happened to weaken the Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it!"

"What's even more terrible is that even if the Ten Thousand Swords Holy Sect knows about it, there is nothing they can do. Now all the holy places in the world are afraid of the Great Jin. If the academy doesn't help, the Haoran Holy Sect will also not help. Unless they turn over to the Great Jin, they can only maintain In the current situation, they have to rely on their own family to defend Jiangdong Dao, or lose Jiangdong Dao, and they are left with Chen Liu and Nanping Dao!"

After hearing Hou Yuling's words, Hou Yuxiao nodded and said: "In my opinion, if the Academy does not withdraw that part of the Qingyang Army, it is because it is worried that Xuzhou will defect to the Jin Dynasty after fully expressing its stance. However, this possibility should be basically non-existent, because Wan Jian Holy Sect, like other holy places, they are also afraid of the Great Jin."

"In this case, Xuzhou will probably not attack Guangling Mansion again. At most, they will try to save Jiangdong Road, and they may not be able to do so. In this way, Guangling Mansion will basically be the territory of King Wuwei from now on. Wuwei In order to grow stronger, the king will definitely continue to pursue Jiang Dongdao's ideas, it depends on how much support the Purple Qing Holy Sect is willing to provide him, and King Wuwei's own methods!"

Hou Yucheng was looking at the map above. Hearing Hou Yuling's words, he couldn't help but said: "Good guy, it's not enough for King Wuwei to occupy a land. He also wants to continue to take Jiangdong Road. Let him take it. Then Hou Jing occupies two provinces, and the territory he controls is enough to rival the Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect. We in Hexi only have two provinces now..."

"King Wuwei can bring out 70 elite Tianwei troops and millions of original troops. The key is that we don't know if he has any other old troops in Da Jin. We now occupy the land of Hexi and Xingnan. , how many troops can we have on hand?"

Hou Yucheng had not returned to Hexi for more than a year. Today, he was suddenly called back by Hou Yuxiao. In fact, he knew it well. He knew that his eldest brother wanted to know about the situation of the Hou family's army. He was originally full of pride, but now he learned about the power of King Wuwei in the east. He restrained himself a lot, but he still straightened his expression and answered Hou Yuxiao:

"As of now, the Hou family's army totals 130 million, including 30 of the most elite Red Flame Army, 40 of Zhaoyang Army, and 60 of Hexi Army.

We are at the bottom of the military registration system. We know the situation of the warriors in the two houses very well. In the past four years, the family has indeed spared no effort to expand the army, but it has to be said that the effect is still very limited. "

After hearing this, Hou Yuxiao sighed in his heart:
The effect is indeed very limited!
Four years ago, the total number of Hou's army was 100 million, including 20 Chiyan Army, 30 Zhaoyang Army, and 50 Hexi Army. The army increased by 30. It actually sounds like a lot, but compared with the previous development speed Compared to, it’s really much different.

The Hou family formally formed the army after taking control of Tongling, that is, nine years ago.

It only took the Hou family less than a year to develop from less than 18 to [-]. Then it only took about a year to break through [-]. Then it took only about a year to secretly control the Shen family and the Xiongyun Gang. When Du defeated Leiyin Temple, the Hou family already had an army of [-]. Looking back now, seven years have passed.

Six years ago, the Hexi Alliance was established. The Hou family annexed the Shen family and the Xiongyun Gang in one fell swoop. In the next year, it slowly encroached on the Pingtianmen, with an army of 70 in one fell swoop. In less than two years, the army It increased from 70 to one million.

From less than [-] to an army of one million, it only took the Hou family five years.

In the past four years, Hou's army has only increased by 30. Compared with the previous one, it is no wonder that Hou Yucheng said that the effect is very limited.

"There is no way. The population of Hexi and Xingnan prefectures has become saturated. Brother, we have to find a way to expand our territory. If you ask me to come back this time, will you..."

Hou Yucheng is now also the commander of a million-strong army. Although he cannot change his rough habits, his vision is far better than before. He is very clear about the reason why the Hexi army has been developing slowly in the past four years, and even the purpose of Hou Yuxiao calling him back this time. , he also had some guesses in his heart, so he couldn't wait to ask at this moment.

After hearing Hou Yucheng's words, Hou Yuxiao nodded slightly, turned to face the map behind him, pointed to the south of Hexi with his hand, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

"Lao Wu came back with a message. The Rakshasa Holy Sect's people have gone to southern Xinjiang. The Holy Sect's army is currently attacking Yangmeidao. It should be the most critical time to defeat Bingzhou. They actually sent people to southern Xinjiang, and they sent Duanmu Hong. I don't know whether he is worried that the Xiayuan Dao family will cause trouble for him in the rear while they fight to merge the state, or he is planning in advance for the next step after they finish the battle.

There is a martial arts sub-sage in southern Xinjiang. Lao Wu is not strong enough. I am going to southern Xinjiang to find out the purpose of the Rakshasa Holy Cult. You can also start preparations. We are about to fight against southern Xinjiang. Jiang started. "

"yes, Sir!"

Hou Yucheng's answering voice was extremely exciting.

He has been waiting for this sentence for too long!

Hou Yuling asked curiously from the side: "Over in southern Xinjiang, Cheng Yunye, the head of Yinhu, has been in charge for the past four years. Last month, he seemed to have received some important news from southern Xinjiang, and he also sent a message to Lao Wu to come over. , is it a matter of people from the Rakshasa Holy Sect?"

Hou Yuxiao nodded, thought of something and chuckled: "The Rakshasa Saint sent the new holy son Zhan Tai Wuyuan to come over, accompanied by Duan Muhong. According to Lao Wu, although Zhan Tai Wuyuan is only six years old, But he is very murderous and extremely cunning. I will go to southern Xinjiang to find out what the Rakshasa Holy Cult is up to, and I will also see how cunning this six-year-old little devil can be!"
