Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 449: Join the Jin Dynasty or not, King Zhao Yuan ascends the throne

The fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, 1333 years of the New Yu Calendar

Hexi Road, Jianye Fucheng
Before the elite troops of the Hou family went north, the city of Jianye Prefecture had already been occupied by the Youye Emperor's army that went south. The earliest situation in the three prefectures in the northwest of Hexi Province was that the Alliance occupied Zhaoyang Prefecture and the Jin Dynasty occupied Jianye Prefecture, while the Hou family's army Xingnan Mansion sits obediently in the middle.

After Hou Yuxiao led all the troops of the Hou family to cross the river and go north, the war between the Jin Dynasty and the alliance also began. The war has lasted for almost a year now, and the current situation of the two sides is naturally very different.

"The Youye Emperor's army has all entered Zhaoyang Mansion. According to the news from our spies, the Jing Yuanxiu Alliance army has retreated to Longxiang County, approaching the west bank of the Tongtian River. The alliance has blocked all the hundreds of miles along the west bank. Making a gesture of wanting to cross the river and escape, Emperor Youye was worried about being deceived, so he did not dare to move forward."

In the main hall of the Jianye Mansion, Hou Yucheng, Hou Yuduan, Hou Yujie, and Hou Yuling were sitting together. The one who spoke was Hou Yuling. Her breath was slightly messy. Apparently she had just received the news and came over immediately to tell the three of them.

The three of them were silent for a while. Hou Yucheng looked at the situation on the map, and said solemnly in his pupils: "The Youye Emperor's strength is really unrealistic. In more than a year, he almost wiped out the whole of Hexi." Coming down, Jing Tianyu’s 700 million alliance army has been defeated, but only 300 million are left, while Tuoba Zun’s side still has more than 500 million!”

Hou Yuling nodded. This news was what she told them immediately after Hou Yucheng led his army to Hexi. When she first learned the news, she was shocked.

Although the alliance army is a mixed bag, it is difficult to be of one mind, but no matter what, there are 700 million elites of the Holy Army, and half of them can be killed in a year. Strength and means are absolutely indispensable.

Just compare it to Dongyuan Dao. Over there, the Jin Dynasty and the Alliance both had tens of millions of troops. However, after fighting for half a year, the losses of both sides were only one million. Moreover, the battle lines of the two sides were inexhaustible from beginning to end. It also did not cross Dongyuan Road.

Of course, the Hou family played a big role in this, but it is enough to show that the results achieved by the Jin Dynasty in Hexi were indeed extraordinary.

"Over in Liangzhou, the Jin Dynasty has also captured two roads. The army of the Moyan Holy Sect has been forced to retreat to the north bank of the Gujiang River. If nothing unexpected happens, the results will be announced as early as next year. By then, all the four northern states will have fallen. It’s in the hands of Da Jin.”

Hou Yuling's words made the three of them look even darker.

Hou Yujie cast his eyes on the map of China at the back of the hall, and a few rays of light condensed from his fingertips, lighting up the three northern states, Liangzhou, Zhongzhou, and half of Hexi, and said in a low voice:

"But it's not just the four northern states. The alliance is now retreating to the east of the river. Except for one divine capital in the central state, the rest are in the hands of the Jin Dynasty. In June, the capital of Hebei has been defeated. The Tianwei Army under Hou... Jing's command should logically be It was only right to regain the four roads in Jizhou, but he did not touch Xiling Road. According to Lao Wu's previous guess, he should have reached some agreement with Dajin, at the expense of Xiling Road, in exchange for Dajin not to interfere with him and Qinjian Villa. thing.

Calculated in this way, apart from its own three northern states, Liangzhou, Zhongzhou, part of Jizhou, and part of Hexi are all under the control of Dajin. In this world, Dajin seems to occupy almost half of it. If it continues like this , wouldn't the world really belong to him.

At first, I thought that Da Jin was worried that the Crescent God Sect would end too soon and was unwilling to open the treasure house. But now it seems that they have made preparations in advance. As soon as the treasure house is opened, the third line will immediately launch their efforts to take advantage of the Crescent God Sect before it ends. , they won’t lose at all by acquiring so much territory. Whether they open this treasure house together or not, they will make a profit. It seems that we have underestimated the Great Jin Dynasty! "

After saying these words, Hou Yucheng's face became very gloomy.

The eldest brother has entered the treasure house, and all of Hou's current 700 million coalition forces are under his control. This is the case with people. As the chips in his hands increase, his ambitions will continue to expand. Hou Yucheng previously treated Hou His understanding was that he could only go to the Holy Land, but now, his understanding was different.

There are 700 million troops, but not only the 200 million Red Flame Army of the Hou family are the elite of the Holy Army. The 100 million troops of the Jiangbei League and the Lu family were in Wangchuan Daocheng for three months, but they were all in the Five Elements Heaven. As a cultivator, the Hou family currently has a total of 800 million elite holy soldiers, which is not far behind a single holy land.

In his opinion, it would be easy for his eldest brother Hou Yuxiao and the fifth elder Hou Yuduan to break through and become saints. Even for himself, Sanniang and Laosi, it would be a matter of time. In his opinion, such a Hou family is already qualified to compete in the world. .

Because of this, he could not see the Jin Dynasty being so powerful.

"Lao Wu, cooperate with Da Jin to fight against the New Moon God Sect. Is it possible to change it? The eldest brother has been in the treasure house and does not know the specific situation of the outside world. Da Jin has swallowed up so much territory during this period. Let's follow him again. Cooperation, if the New Moon God Sect is really destroyed, let’s not talk about whether the Jin Dynasty will really give up Yongzhou to us...

By then, who else in the world can oppose Da Jin?

I, the Hou family, really want to bow my head and proclaim myself a minister to the Jin Dynasty? "

Hou Yucheng suddenly turned his head to look at Hou Yuduan, and asked several questions in a row. It was the idea of ​​the eldest brother and the fifth son that the army went south.

All the current major strategies of the Hou family are formulated by Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yuduan, so now that Hou Yuxiao is away, he can only ask Lao Wu. He knows in his heart that his strengths are not in these things. Even if he is the elder brother, in some things, everyone They all have to negotiate. This is what Hou Yuxiao taught them, and it is also the biggest reason why the Hou family can thrive to this day.

Hou Yuduan's face had always been a little downcast. He seemed to be thinking about something. After being asked such a question by Hou Yucheng, his face did not change at all. He just kept a calm face and said nothing. After a long time, he finally Speak softly:
"The cooperation with Da Jin was personally ordered by the eldest brother before he left. Before he comes back, if it is not necessary, it cannot be changed!"

His voice was very soft, but his tone was very firm. Hou Yucheng and the three of them showed a slight hesitation on their faces when they heard the words, but soon they nodded together, and their eyes gradually became clear.

Especially Hou Yucheng, who shook his head and said with a light smile, "I'm the one who was stupid. Big brother always predicts the enemy first, and never let us suffer. Before he entered the treasure house, he must have guessed the current situation. Whether it is to join the Jin or the Alliance, he must have already planned it, we can just wait and see.

At present, the masters of the major holy places are all in the treasury. No matter it is Dajin, the Alliance, or the New Moon God Sect, they will not make any big moves. Our army will not make any big moves if it stays in Jianye Mansion. Question, when the eldest brother comes back, he will make his own decision! "

Hou Yuling and Hou Yujie both nodded heavily.

Over the years, the trust in their eldest brother Hou Yuxiao has been deeply rooted in their bones. The Hou family has developed from a small, unpopular family in Zhaoyang County to a behemoth that can rival the Holy Land today. It can almost be said that Hou Yuxiao's rise played a decisive role.

From the Chaoyang Rebellion at the beginning, the demons in Tongling, to the turmoil in the two prefectures in the middle, and now to the struggle for hegemony in the world, Hou Yuxiao has always played the role of the absolute backbone in the countless life and death of the family. The strength of the Hou family today, It also proved Hou Yuxiao's wisdom and means. They naturally had unconditional trust and respect for their elder brother Hou Yuxiao.

Thinking of this, the four of them couldn't help feeling a little worried about Hou Yuxiao who was in the treasury. This trip to the treasury brought together almost all the masters of the holy places in the world, as well as many martial arts saints, more than a hundred martial arts sub-sages, and the degree of danger Far more than before, although the eldest brother is not inferior to others in terms of strength and means, after all...

"Young Master, it's too early to say anything..."

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the hall, and the four people in the hall suddenly frowned. All four of them raised their heads and looked outside the hall door, and their expressions were stunned when they saw it.

"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Wang."

Hou Yucheng frowned slightly and was the first to shout. The people who walked in from the door were not strangers. They were Zhao Si and Wang Wu, the old men who had served the Hou family for more than 30 years.

The inheritance of the Zhaoyang Hou family is not long ago. Zhao Si and Wang Wu are old people who have been in the family since their father Hou Tong was still alive. They can be regarded as elders who have watched their five brothers and sisters grow up. The five of them have a deep understanding of each other. These two old men were quite respectful.

In the early years, when the two old men were still at the sixth level of cultivation, they were of great help to the family. But as the Hou family has grown, with the help of the family's resources, although the two have also reached the master level, they are still of great help to the family after all. The family's role is not too great, so they are basically not used much now, but the treatment given to the two is still very generous, and their status in the family is not bad.

Why did these two people come here suddenly?

No, what did Zhao Si call him just now?

Hou Yucheng suddenly realized that Zhao Si was calling him the eldest son just now. He frowned and thought it was Zhao Si's accidental slip of the tongue. He didn't care and asked, "Uncle Zhao and Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you?"

In addition to his confused expression, Hou Yujie and Hou Yuling were also the same. Only Hou Yuduan, who was standing next to him, looked a little complicated after seeing the two people coming in.

Zhao Silang laughed and said: "The eldest son said before that it was not appropriate to cooperate with the Jin Dynasty to fight against the Crescent God Cult. According to my subordinates, this is indeed the case. Now the Jin Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and it controls nearly half of the territory of China. If he is allowed to destroy it again, The Crescent Moon God Sect really belongs to the Jin Dynasty in this world, so my subordinates believe that I, the Hou family, should cooperate with the Crescent Moon God Sect to catch the Jin Dynasty off guard, get rid of Emperor Youye's army, and occupy Hexi. Only then can we have a chance to dominate the world!"

…………

Hou Yucheng's face was already a little unhappy. As the elders of the clan, Zhao Si, Wang and Wu should be respected by him. However, such a major matter related to the direction of the family should not be respected by these two clan members at the master level. Talking nonsense here.

But when he thought that Zhao Silian had called him wrong, Hou Yucheng suddenly showed a hint of helplessness on his face. The two old men seemed confused.

"Uncle Zhao and Uncle Wang, don't talk nonsense again in the future. These things have nothing to do with you. Go back and rest. Besides, I am not the eldest son, I am Yucheng.

Someone, take Uncle Zhao and Uncle Wang down! "

Hou Yucheng was upset at the moment and had no intention of investigating why the two of them were acting like this. He just waved and ordered people to take them away.

However, before anyone from outside could walk in, the auras of Zhao Si and Wang Wu suddenly began to change in the hall.

Two strong gusts of wind rose into the sky from their bodies, and the violent aura instantly filled the entire hall. The auras of the two old men, who were not yet at the Grand Master level, instantly increased steadily.

The terrifying coercion made the expressions of Hou Yucheng, Hou Yuling and Hou Yujie standing beside him freeze instantly...

"Old slave Wang Deng..."

"Old slave Zhao Yuan..."

"Meet the eldest young master, second young lady, third young master, and fourth young master!"

Hou Yucheng was completely stunned. Even if he saw Zhao Si Wang Wu kneeling down towards him, he could not react at all. His mind was full of confusion and shock.

"You are the Martial Arts Assassins, how is this...possible!"

Hou Yujie expressed Hou Yucheng's confusion. Yes, the three of them could clearly sense that the auras of Wang Wu and Zhao Si could suppress them. The three of them are now in the Broken Realm. It goes without saying that the cultivation of these two people can suppress them with just their breath.

Wang Wu and Zhao Si are martial arts sub-sages!
No, it's Zhao Yuan and Wang Deng. How is this...possible...

Hou Yucheng and the other three glanced at each other, and invariably glanced at Hou Yuduan at the side. Seeing Hou Yuduan lowering his head and saying nothing, the three of them understood something instantly, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became gloomy. Come down.

That's right, Lao Wu followed his eldest brother and broke through to become a sub-sage. In other words, they probably already knew the cultivation base of Wang Wu and Zhao Si. No, not only the cultivation base of the two people, but also the cultivation base of the two men. The eldest brother and the fifth child have already known about King Wuwei...Hou Jing.

Many thoughts flashed through the minds of the three of them, and they quickly figured out their thinking. As long as they contacted Zhao Si, Wang Wu and Hou Jing, many things would be explained at once.

After thinking about their identities, the three of them soon had a new confusion in their minds, even Hou Yuduan next to him, with a hint of doubt on their faces at this time.

"Zhao...that's what you two call us, right?"

The first thing Hou Yucheng said was to call Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhao, but seeing a sense of strangeness in the hearts of the two of them, he changed the address.

Hou Yuxiao is the eldest, he is the second child, Hou Yuling is the third child, Hou Yujie is the fourth child, and the fifth child is Hou Yuduan. No matter how you calculate it, he will not be called the eldest son.

Zhao Yuan and Wang Deng looked at each other. The two seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. He stood forward and spoke loudly to the four of them:
"The title of old slave is correct..."

When he said this, he paused, his tone suddenly dropped, and continued: "The eldest son Hou Yuxiao is dead, and the second son will naturally be promoted to the eldest son, so the old slave is rightly called the eldest son."

The eldest son Hou Yuxiao...is dead?
The faces of the four of Hou Yucheng changed in shock, and panic appeared in their pupils at the same time. After thinking for a moment, Hou Yuduan said angrily, "An dare to talk nonsense here. Those holy places didn’t get the news either, how did you know?”

Zhao Yuan realized that the four of them thought he was saying that something happened to Hou Yuxiao in Shenzong's treasure house. He immediately shook his head, looked at the four people with confused expressions, and whispered: "The eldest son that the old slave said was not in the treasure house." Hou Yuxiao!"

The four people suddenly became more confused.

"The eldest son, Hou Yuxiao, died 14 years ago!"

Today is 1333. 14 years ago, that was 1319 in the New Yu Calendar. This year appeared in the minds of the four of them. Their faces sank at first, but then, as if they thought of something, they suddenly raised their heads. With Zhao Yuan and Wang Deng.

They seem to understand something...
