Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 76 Ding Sicheng wants to take my life [fifth update]

After meeting Ding Dian, Hou Yuxiao understood two things.

First, Ding Dian really had nothing to say to Cheng Yue, his disciple.

The second is that he must solve Cheng Yue's trouble. Even at the risk of offending Ding Dian, he must be this person.

After understanding these two things, Hou Yuxiao completely gave up the idea of ​​​​reconciling with Ding Dian, so at the end, he pretended to be forced to accept Cheng Yue's challenge.

This idiot, Cheng Yue, set the date in seven days, not only that, but also announced to the whole county to have a truly fair showdown.

If it weren't for Hou Yuxiao's superb acting skills, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter just now.

"After all, you are a disciple of the Holy Cult. It is your great blessing to die with this confidence."

Hou Yuxiao left the Warden Department and walked all the way to the door of the County Cheng's Mansion. All the panic on his face disappeared, and a chill flashed in his pupils, revealing a sneer.

Although the Jun Cheng Mansion is next door to the Warden, the main gate is five miles away. As reported as before, Hou Yuxiao successfully followed the gatekeeper and met the Jun Cheng Fan Longhe.

Just looking at his appearance, Fan Longhe is more than better than Ding Dian. He looks to be in his early forties, has a handsome face, and is dressed in the yellow robe of a county magistrate.

"The head of Zhaoyang Hou family, Hou Yuxiao, pays homage to Lord Jun Cheng!"

Hou Yuxiao held a junior gift in his hands in a rather solemn manner. Since the county magistrate attaches great importance to rules, Hou Yuxiao naturally has to add medicine to the dishes.

Sure enough, seeing this scene, Fan Longhe suddenly showed a smile on his face, nodded, and teased: "Why, you came to me after you hit a wall with Ding Dian?"

"Ding Sicheng wants to take my life, please save me!"

Hou Yuxiao cried out in sorrow, fell to his knees, and directly said that he had planned to reconcile with Ding Dian before going to him first.

Who would have thought that the master and apprentice jointly coerced him into signing a life and death certificate, and he would have to face Cheng Yue in seven days, and he would die by then.

Hou Yuxiao cried sadly, which made Fan Longhe look stunned. After receiving the life and death certificate, a strange look appeared on his face.

"It's obvious that I'm going to kill you, but you dare to sign it?"

"Hou also doesn't know. Master and apprentice Ding Dian kept saying that this was a fair duel, and promised me that as long as I win, he will recommend me, Hou, for promotion to the upper class. I am also obsessed with it. Xinqiao will sign and agree, Lord Wanwang Juncheng save my life!"

…………

"You are indeed obsessed. Of Ding Dian's three disciples, Cheng Yue is the only one who has obtained his Divine Light True Inheritance. Looking at the whole county, he is also one of the top geniuses. Do you think you can win?"

Hearing these words, Hou Yuxiao's eyes flashed coldly, and then his expression was deliberately stunned for a moment, and he said weakly: "This... to be honest with Fan Juncheng, I still have some confidence in Sheng Chengyue..."

"Yes, you are indeed not sure...wait...what did you say?"

Fan Longhe suddenly realized that Hou Yuxiao was sure of what he said, and immediately turned to look at him and confirmed again.

"Sheng Chengyue... I'm still a little confident..."

Fan Longhe soon realized that when Hou Yuxiao asked him to save his life just now, he did not mean to ask him to cancel the competition. He stared at Hou Yuxiao for a long time before he said: "If you say that, you are afraid that Ding Dian will treat Ding Dian after winning." You're in a bad situation, so you came to me for help?"

Seeing Hou Yuxiao nodding, Fan Longhe's eyes suddenly flashed with a dark look, and an intriguing smile appeared on his face.

"The Holy Maiden has something to say first, I will definitely help you, but since you signed the certificate of life and death, it is your own business, but Ding Dian, you can rest assured, I guarantee that this battle will Absolutely fair!”

After waiting for so long, Hou Yuxiao finally heard this sentence. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He stood up and said respectfully: "In that case, I would like to thank Lord County Cheng for enforcing the law impartially. After seven days, I will bother you to bother you. I will go ahead." Farewell!"

Fan Longhe watched Hou Yuxiao say goodbye and leave directly without making any reservations. He nodded and said softly: "You can leave the invitation letter and roster with me first. After you win, I will go get Ding Dian's signature for you! "

Hou Yuxiao hurriedly handed both books to him, then turned and went out.

Just after Hou Yuxiao left, a voice suddenly came from the curtain behind Fan Longhe, and then a figure in white clothes and a Confucian shirt slowly walked out. He was about the same age as Fan Longhe, holding a paper fan, smiling, and indescribably handsome.

"It seems that he was pretending and deliberately agreed to Ding Dian's master and apprentice. He calculated that you would support him, so he first went to test Ding Dian's tone. When he found that he could not ease the relationship with him, he immediately came to find you!"

Fan Longhe nodded and turned to look at the man in Confucian shirt. He shook his head and said in a respectful tone: "Sir, do you think he can hide his show from Ding Dian?"

"Of course I can't hide it, but Ding Dian still pulled his trick. This Hou Yuxiao is from the Xinyue Division. It is now being spread in the sect that the leader intends to have the Xinyue Division ban the Warden Division. Ding Dian could not bear to slap him to death, so he He has exercised all his restraint, and it is reasonable to let a disciple fight with him."

"She is a saint after all, and her vision is indeed vicious. This Hou Yuxiao is so smart that he almost managed to hide it from me. I guess he has already made a plan in his heart. With me protecting him, he will have a fight with Cheng Yue and give himself a chance. Correcting the name will also allow the Hou family to gain a complete foothold in the county."

After Fan Longhe finished speaking, he looked at the man in Confucian shirt and chuckled: "Master Peng stayed in the county for so long just to take a look at this Hou Yuxiao?"

The man in white clothes shook his head and said: "How is it possible? Although the Zhaoyang Rebellion was a surprise, we can't relax. The Holy Lady has explained before that Xuzhou must have a back-up plan. The people under my command, until now, I haven’t found out what backup plan I have left yet, hey…”

After finishing speaking, a sad look appeared on the man's face, obviously worried about the backup plan left by Xuzhou direction.

"The decisive battle will take place in seven days. Let me go and have a look. Cheng Yue is a rare young talent in our Xingnan Mansion. This Hou Yuxiao has the confidence to defeat him. I want to see how good he is."

"They are lucky to have adults watching the battle!"

………………

After Hou Yuxiao saw the two of them, it was almost nightfall. Although he felt a little itchy looking at the Sacred Heart, he still held back and went back to his house.

Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling were playing with the weapons in their hands with excitement on their faces. When they saw Hou Yuxiao coming back, they immediately showed off to him triumphantly.

"All bought?"

Although Hou Yucheng still had the big knife four inches wide and four feet long on his waist, he still nodded when he heard Hou Yuxiao asked.

"Bu Liudao, Fanpinzhen, etc., the original price is 15000 taels of silver, and the shopkeeper Bai gave me a 13500% discount, and I got it for [-]!"

Snapped……

Hou Yuling swung the two-foot-long red whip in his hand, and a pleasant crackling sound suddenly came out, bringing out three or four whip shadows, which was quite powerful.

"The Red Shadow Whip is also from Fanpinzhen and others. Few people use whips. This whip only sold for 11000 taels. Shopkeeper Bai also gave me a 9900% discount, so it only cost [-]."

After finishing speaking, Hou Yuling picked up the two long swords on the table.

"The brown one is called Hong Ying and will be given to the fourth child when the time comes. The white one is called Long Chen and will be given to the fifth child. The grade of the two swords is the same as ours. The total price is 23600 taels, which is more expensive than ours."

Hou Yuxiao nodded and asked them to put away their weapons first.

"Second child, third child, you notify Gao Hu, Su Li, and Hou Fei tomorrow and ask them to hand out all two boxes of gold bars, convert them all into silver within five days, and then hand them over to me!
Also, for the next five days, I'm going to retreat inside, there's nothing urgent, don't come in and disturb me, come to me after you've exchanged all the gold! "

When they first heard that Hou Yuxiao was going to be in seclusion for five days, the two of them looked stunned and wanted to ask, but found that Hou Yuxiao had already walked into the inner courtyard and closed the door.

"Brother went to the County Magistrate's Mansion and the Warden's Office today. Why is he going to be in seclusion when he comes back? Did something happen to him?"

Hou Yucheng still couldn't react. He must have been busy with things in the county these days. Why did Hou Yuxiao suddenly have to go into seclusion.

"Brother has his own reasons for not telling us. Let's exchange the money first, and then dispose of all the trophies we brought. When eldest brother comes out of seclusion in five days, he will definitely tell us!"

Although the two of them had doubts in their hearts, they still chose not to disturb Hou Yuxiao, and went back to their rooms to rest, preparing to wait until dawn to do things.

………………

In the dead of night, Hou Yuxiao was sitting cross-legged in the room, Zhang Xu's ape demon stick was leaning on the bed, and a steady stream of Gangsha was flowing on the surface of his body and attached to the ape demon stick. The scene was quite strange.

If outsiders look at it here, they will have the feeling that Hou Yuxiao's whole person is integrated with the stick.

"When we started fighting at the city gate, Cheng Yue definitely didn't show his true strength, but I didn't show it either. My cultivation is on par with him, and the competition is nothing more than martial arts!"

Feeling the many new martial arts in his mind, Hou Yuxiao's pupils were full of confidence. Then he turned his hands and took out five or six small martial arts pills, and a sneer suddenly appeared on his face.

"Ding Dian, that old guy, is a bit obsessive to Sikong Yue. Since the Holy Cult is not monolithic, it means that Fan Longhe has great hope of protecting me. I have solved Cheng Yue once and for all, and my promotion to the current stream is considered safe. It is inevitable to offend Ding Dian!"

Thinking of this, Hou Yuxiao's eyes were still slightly gloomy. After all, Ding Dian still has the title of the best master in the county, but it's no good if he doesn't offend him. Considering the relationship between Yue and Ding Dian, if he keeps this person, Ding Dian will do the same sooner or later. If you want to deal with yourself, you might as well strike first!
The key is that Ding Dian used the fact that his Hou family was promoted to the upper class as a bet, which forced him to agree to Cheng Yue's challenge.

Now he can only place his hope on Fan Longhe.

"For Da Luozong, Bai Yunfan asked me to give 10 taels of silver. If the 10 taels of silver is spent, it should have some effect. Even if Ding Dian is the number one master, he can't act recklessly in the county.

If it doesn't work, the worst case scenario is to pull Sikong Yue out and crush him! "

When he mentioned 10 taels of silver, Hou Yuxiao felt slightly distressed, but after thinking about it, he still had to spend the money. This was why he asked his second and third sons to order people to cash out the silver when he came back.

Waiting to sort out the thoughts in his mind, Hou Yuxiao grabbed the ape magic stick and walked to the yard, concentrating on preparing for the duel with Cheng Yue seven days later.
