Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 412: Knowing it later, substituting one thing for another

December 1332, [-] in the New Yu Calendar
In Xingnan Fucheng, on the west side of the official road, Tuoba Yu hid in a big tree. He looked a little unhappy when he recalled the situation when he went back to the big tent on the 30th day last month to find Emperor Youye to return to his life.

His unhappiness, of course, he did not dare to target the Emperor and the military advisor, but mainly his frustration and regret over his poor performance in the camp that day.

"The Emperor and the Military Advisor will not doubt me. In the final analysis, it is because I did not get any useful information from the Hou family. If I brought back valuable information, the Emperor and the Military Advisor would not have that attitude. Alas..."

Tuoba Yu sighed slightly. Even though his surname was Tuoba, the Tuoba family was one of the three most noble nobles in the Jin Dynasty besides the royal Yuwen family. There were countless branches of descendants, and the total number of them was probably over one million. It's more than that. In a place like Youdu, where you can smash several nobles with one bottle, being named Tuoba will not change your status in any way. If you want to get ahead, it mainly depends on your strength and background.

Of course, to be able to serve as the scout captain under the emperor's tent, there is no doubt about Tuoba Yu's talent. He has just turned [-] this year and is already at the Yuan Dan realm. Looking at the world, he is definitely considered a genius.

But if you put it in front of the emperor's tent, it's not enough.

The emperor's personal servants, the Nether Spring Guards, the elite Netherworld Army, and even the Chinese army's scout camp where he is located, are full of talented people. His talent is simply not enough. If it weren't for his cleverness, he has established many achievements over the years. Due to his merits, he could not have been the captain of this scout battalion and got this opportunity to meet the emperor.

"This is to meet the Emperor. I have wasted such a good opportunity!"

Tuoba Yu looked down at the people below, his eyes a little angry. He had been squatting here for 27 days, but he didn't notice anything was wrong. Here in Fucheng, people kept coming into the city, with waves of people entering the city. So far, Hou's army has returned 52 waves of troops, leaving only eight waves.

"Hou's 500 million army has been divided into 400 troops, and only eight are left, which is equivalent to all [-] million troops returning to the city. There are only three days left before the one-month period set by Hou Yuxiao. In the last three days, all the army should be back!"

Tuoba Yu's tone was a little low. His mission this time was to monitor the movements of Hou's army, which meant that his mission would be over in three days.

The problem is that so far, he still has nothing to show for it.

Of course, he actually monitored Xingnan Fucheng for a month, and it was said that he did something practical. But the key point is that he didn't bring back any useful information. When he returned to the Chinese army's tent at the end of last month, the expressions on the emperor's and military advisor's faces were , which explains the problem very much.

"No, I must use these last three days to find out useful information!"

Tuoba Yu clenched his fists, looking at the people who migrated together on the official road not far away, and were about to enter Xingnan Prefecture, a fierce light appeared in his pupils, it was not aimed at these people, but he realized that, Something had to be done.

Suddenly, a breeze blew, and he frowned and quickly turned around to look behind him.

A man covered in black robes hurriedly came from a distance. When he saw Tuoba Yu, he immediately fell to his knees, raised his hands and said in a hurry: "Captain, something happened!"

"what's up?"

"The five brothers who were monitoring the east side of Fucheng were not clean and were accidentally discovered by a large army of the Hou family. Fortunately, the army was not strong. The five of them fought to the death, four of them died, and only one of the brothers escaped. , but he’s already on the verge of death!”

A look of anger suddenly appeared on Tuoba Yu's face, and he said in a deep voice: "Idiot, you only let them pay attention to the movements of the army and didn't let them do anything. How can they be discovered?"

"Captain, calm down. Those five brothers approached the army on their own initiative. They seem to have discovered something. The dying brother asked me to inform the captain to come over!"

"You're talking so much, why don't you take me there quickly!"

Hearing these words, Tuobayu's expression froze, and his expression suddenly changed with shock. He scolded the man angrily, and the man did not dare to say a word, and hurriedly took Tuobayu to fly towards the west.

Thirty miles west of Fucheng, there is a small ruined temple next to the official road.

Tuoba Yu walked in with the man, waved to the dozen or so people in the temple who were preparing to salute him, and walked directly to the middle, next to a subordinate who was lying on the ground with no idea of ​​his life or death. He looked at the blood flowing from the subordinate's body. Not only did he frown slightly, he stretched out his hand and put it on his chest, mobilizing his Dantian divine energy and sending it into his subordinate's body.

The moment it was pressed against his chest, Tuoba Yu knew that this subordinate was hopeless!
But he still spared no effort to wake up his subordinates.

"What did you find?"

The subordinate had just opened his eyes, and when he heard Tuoba Yu's question, he opened his mouth with anger: "That... big... army has a question..."

Tuoba Yu realized that his subordinates would soon be unable to speak, and his expression suddenly darkened. While increasing the transmission of divine energy, he quickly asked: "What's the problem?"

The subordinate, like him, is also a descendant of the Three Emperors surname, and is also loyal to the Jin Dynasty. It can be seen that he has reached the edge of running out of oil, but he still forced his mouth to open, using up his last bit of strength, intermittently Four words were spoken.

"Cultivation...strength...strength..."

After saying these four words, the subordinate's pupils suddenly lost their luster.

Tuoba Yu also stopped the transportation of divine energy, but after retracting his palm, the word "Sichuan" formed between his eyebrows, and his mind was full of doubts.

What does cultivation and strength mean?
Does it mean that the great soldier's cultivation level is too high and his strength is too strong?

No, these five people discovered something was wrong with the army and took the initiative to approach it.

If the soldiers of that army were too highly cultivated and very strong, then why would they take the initiative to approach the army? This would prove that the subordinate's intentions were not too strong.

But.........the cultivation level is too low and the strength is too weak?
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Tuoba Yu's mind, and he quickly turned around and asked the other people standing next to him: "Except for this person, how are the other four people's cultivation?"

Those subordinates didn't react at the first moment. They realized that Tuoba Yu was asking about the four soldiers who had died, and they immediately answered: "The staffing of the other teams is the same, one Grandmaster of the second level, with four Grandmasters of the First environment."

The subordinate who died was the second level of cultivation of the Grandmaster.

After Tuoba Yu heard this answer, his whole expression was stunned.

"Five Grandmasters encountered an army of about 10 people, and one of them escaped?"

All the scouts in the ruined temple were stunned when they heard Tuoba Yu's question. Then they realized something and their expressions suddenly changed.

"I haven't reacted just yet. Yes, an army of 10 warriors. Even if it is not the Hou family's elite Red Flame Army, it is just an ordinary Zhaoyang Army. It is not something that their five masters can handle. How did he escape? of?"

As we all know, any force in the world that can raise a private army requires at least the fifth level of cultivation for its soldiers. An army of more than ten thousand warriors can already threaten the fourth realm or even the fifth realm grandmaster. A second realm grandmaster , four first-level masters are theoretically not as good as one fourth-level grand master, let alone a fifth-level heaven-level grand master.

What's more, these five people encountered an army of [-] people, and the most common Zhaoyang Army of the Hou family had the lowest cultivation level of the seventh level. Under the suppression of the energy and blood of the [-] army, these five people could not even fight. Run, I'm afraid I won't even be able to move.

The only explanation is that that army is not Hou's army.

Among the more than ten scouts in the ruined temple, including Tuoba Yu, this thought came to their minds. After realizing a more critical issue, their faces instantly turned pale and their bodies trembled violently.

"Sir, I remembered that of all the Hou family's armies that returned to Xingnan Fucheng, we only saw the cultivation of the first few waves of armies, and they were also mixed with ordinary people. What we could see was almost They are all at the master level or above. In order to avoid their discovery, we cannot randomly observe the cultivation of ordinary soldiers."

"That's right, because those ordinary soldiers are mixed with the common people, our criterion for determining whether they are Hou's army is just based on their clothes..."

"You mean to say that the army we saw returning to Fucheng probably wasn't Hou's army, or in other words, only a small part of them were."

"This………………"

………………

"Shut up for me!"

Tuoba Yu roared angrily, interrupting the discussion of the scouts in the ruined temple. The muscles on his face were almost trembling, and there was a hint of shock in his pupils. He suddenly turned his head to look at everyone when he thought of something, and quickly asked Said: "Don't the Hou family still have eight armies outside? Where is the one closest to us? Tell me quickly!"

A subordinate immediately replied: "Those eight armies went to the counties farthest from Xingnan Fucheng, so they came back the latest. The one closest to us at present should be near Jiuxian County, not far from here. It’s about 120 miles.”

"You all continue to stay here and stare at Xingnan Fucheng. I will go there alone."

Tuoba Yu didn't even wait for the man to finish speaking. He left an order, which turned into a strong wind and galloped towards the west of Jiuxian County. He left more than a dozen scouts behind, standing there with expressions on their faces. Surprised and uncertain.

In mid-air, a strong gust of wind blew on his face, but Tuoba Yu felt nothing at all. His heart was beating wildly and the corners of his eyes were trembling uncontrollably.

The five dead subordinates must have discovered that the Hou family's army returning to Fucheng had something wrong with their strength and cultivation, so they took the initiative to get close to them. Tuoba Yu was sure.

This time he led a team to Xingnan Mansion to monitor the Hou family's army. He received an order from his superiors. He was not allowed to attack the Hou family's army unless it was absolutely necessary, and no conflicts were allowed. He knew that the reason was that Hou Yuxiao was in Daocheng a month ago. Create a neutral zone.

The entire Xingnan Prefecture is already a neutral zone. Unless the Hou family takes the initiative to provoke, neither the Jin Dynasty nor the alliance can take action here. Because of this, Tuoba Yu and his scouts do not even dare to enter Xingnan Prefecture City and are monitoring the Hou family. When the Clan's army moves, they also try to adhere to the principle of no contact between the two parties. Even if they sense other people's cultivation, they try to pick something that is not easy to be discovered and are extremely subtle and low-key.

Therefore, in most cases, they observe with the naked eye.

And the army that the Hou family returned to Fucheng were cunning enough. They all mixed with the ordinary people, and only a small part stayed on the periphery. Among them were some master-level and even Yuandan-level warriors. But each army, How many such talents there are, at most there are less than a few hundred people.

But it happened that these hundreds of people made them, the scouts, all believe it.

It's over, it's over...

It only took Tuoba Yu less than half an hour to arrive near Jiufong County. During this half hour, his heart kept beating violently. Half an hour of thinking had already made him understand a lot. In fact, By the time he got here, he had almost confirmed his guess.

Next, is the verification process.

He no longer kept secrets this time, and directly released the aura of his cultivation level at the second level of Yuan Dan. He sensed the vicinity of Jiu Falcon County and soon discovered a team of millions of people on the official road to the west. .

He jumped up and flew over, scanning the people's ranks unscrupulously. When he saw the Hou family soldiers wearing Zhaoyang Army armor mixed in among the people, he quickly sensed their cultivation.

The third level of body opening...the second level of body opening...the fifth level of body opening...the seventh level of body opening...

Level [-]... Level [-]... Level [-]... Level [-]... Level [-]...

As he continued to sense the cultivation of more and more soldiers, Tuobayu's entire face gradually swelled into the color of pig liver, and the anger in his pupils became more intense. His whole person began to tremble in mid-air, and his fists He clenched tightly and even couldn't hold back his breath, which started to become messy.

"I was deceived... I was deceived. This is not the Hou family's army. It's over, it's over..."

"Where did Xiao Xiao come from to spy here? Don't you know that Xingnan Mansion is a neutral zone?"

Suddenly, an angry shout came from below, awakening Tuoba Yu in mid-air.

A young man dressed as a commander in black armor slowly flew up into the air. Seeing Tuoba Yu dressed in black, he couldn't tell where he came from. The young man's face suddenly darkened, and he could sense that Tuoba Yu The aura exuding from his body was far more powerful than his own. He did not dare to take the initiative and just continued to ask in a deep voice:
"I don't know if my senior is from the Jin Dynasty or from the alliance. Xingnan Mansion has been recognized as a neutral zone by the world. Emperor Youye and Marquis Fengtian also nodded in person. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate for your lord to visit the situation of my Hou family's army so unscrupulously. Is it okay?"

Tuobayu didn't speak, and his fists under his sleeves were clenched tightly.

Seeing that he didn't reply, the young man continued: "There are too many people in the two mansions, and I, the Hou family, don't have enough soldiers, so I have no choice but to mobilize some reserves from the clan. The strength is indeed a bit unsatisfactory, which makes you laugh!"

………………

Actually, you are still lying to me!
At this moment, Tuoba Yu wanted to kill the heaven-level grandmaster in front of him with one palm, but he did not do so. He just took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.

He has made a big mistake and must find a way to remedy it. What's the use of killing this person? It's just a waste of time. No, the news must be brought back to Jianye Fucheng quickly and reported to the emperor. Otherwise, the longer it takes, The farther Hou's 500 million army goes.

That's right, I have to go back and report to the emperor and the military advisor.

Tuoba Yu made a decision quickly. He looked at the young man coldly, said nothing, turned around and galloped towards Jianye Fucheng to the west.

Seeing Tuoba Yu flying away, a glimmer of light appeared in the young man's pupils.

"I have to take a step in advance. You can continue to lead the people into Jiuxian County!"

"Subordinates take orders!"

He did not go down, but lowered his head and passed an order to the people below. After hearing the reply from below, he also ran away like Tuoba Yu.

But the direction he was going was to Xingnan Fucheng in the east.
