Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

All the forces above the prefectural level in the world responded to Dayu's call and gathered in the capital city in order to form an anti-Jin alliance. The one who least wanted to see this alliance established was undoubtedly the Jin Dynasty. In this case, the last thing he wanted were the forces from all over the country to arrive smoothly.

From the capital of God, who else could there be?

Zhan Taiqing is a martial arts expert in the Yin-Yang Holy Realm. He represents the Rakshasa Holy Cult. There are not many people in the world who have the courage and ability to stop her and force her to act like this.

The road they took to get to the divine capital was absolutely dangerous!

After Hou Yuxiao thought about this clearly, his nerves that had just relaxed immediately became tense, and his dissatisfaction with Zhan Taiqing also reached the extreme in an instant.

This woman quietly pulled him over, but she didn't tell him the risk situation in advance. Everyone else knew about it, but he was the only one who was kept in the dark.

Even now, Zhan Taiqing is still worried that he will escape. Others can leave in twos and only tie himself to his side. The anger in Hou Yuxiao's heart almost overflows from his chest, but after looking at Zhan Taiqing, he still does not dare to burst out. He can only

Prepare silently.

Hou Yuxiao only had half an hour to prepare, and Hou Yuxiao did not dare to waste it. Before the rest of the Hou family could get off the boat, he immediately summoned Hou Fei and the other three people together.

"I'm going to take the first step. Hou Cun will take the Shugang troops to stay at Baimingdu, Hou Ying will take the Chenlongg troops and set off for Wangchuan Daocheng tomorrow, and Hou Fei will take the Kuibu troops to Jiuhua Daocheng.

You all send people to try their best to find out the power situation and regional characteristics of the three places. I will contact you when I return from the capital of God. Remember to use pseudonyms when doing things outside and do not reveal your identity. I, the Hou family, have enemies in the North.

Don't cause unnecessary disaster."

They are no longer needed for this trip. It just allows the three of them to inquire about the power situation of the three roads in Beidi in order to prepare for the future. Baimingdu, where they are currently located, is located on Linjiang Road. Hou Cun is responsible for it, and Wangchuan Road is handed over to Hou.

Ying and Jiuhua Road were handed over to Hou Fei. When he returned, he would be able to take care of the three places he passed.

With Zhan Taiqing's orders, even if he saw the confusion in the eyes of the three people looking at him, he did not dare to explain the reason. He just asked the three people to put safety first in everything outside.

Although the three of them were confused, seeing that Hou Yuxiao was unwilling to say more, they could only act according to his orders.

Seeing the three people leaving, Hou Yuxiao meditated for a moment alone. His mind sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, and he slowly gathered his karma and poured it into the first black petal of the sacred lotus. Then his appearance gradually began to change.

His figure slowly became hunched over, the skin on his face became dry, and even his hair turned white one by one. His eyes gradually became cloudy. The Canglong stick he originally held in his hand was wrapped in a layer of oilcloth, looking like a

An old man wearing a cane and looking like he is about to die.

What is even more amazing is that his aura has slowly shrunk and shriveled from the original Grand Master state to the third level of Gang Qi and the Dan-holding stage.

Hou Yuxiao found a bronze mirror and saw that she looked like Ren Feng in the mirror, but she still had a sad look on her face.

"The efficacy of this divine lotus will also increase as the cultivation level increases. Before, it could only change its appearance, but now it can even hide its cultivation level."

The enhanced effect of transformation failed to offset the worries in his heart. Hou Yuxiao paused, with a gloomy look in his eyes, and sighed slightly.

"Old Qianpo is obviously trying to catch me, so she will definitely not give me a chance to escape. If I really escape, I will offend her and bring trouble to the family. I have to accompany her on this trip no matter what, so I can only try to be careful.

Come on, hide your identity and cultivation, maybe it will work wonders!"

Hou Yuxiao doesn't like Zhan Taiqing because he doesn't like her, but he recognizes this woman's strength and wisdom. Even if she is so cautious on this trip, it only proves that the road ahead will be full of dangers, and may even lead to a narrow escape, so he cannot help but be careful.

.

With only half an hour, Hou Yuxiao did not dare to delay. After packing up, he immediately went to the main hall to find Zhan Taiqing. Both Zhan Taiqing and Ding Xiang had already put on a layer of veil, obviously to hide their eyes from others.

It is not unusual for women to wear veils when walking around the world. The two of them wore veils to cover up and not make random moves, so they would not attract the attention of others.

"Yi, the Jade Man with Thousand Faces is well-deserved. Master Hou is determined."

When the two girls saw Hou Yuxiao's crotched figure and old expression, they obviously didn't guess it at first. But within a moment, the two of them thought of Hou Yuxiao's nickname. Ding Xiang even complimented him, and Zhan Taiqing was...

With a look of disdain on his face, he almost taunted Hou Yuxiao for his skill.

"The road ahead is dangerous, so prepare in advance. After all, if you sail with caution, Sister Dingxiang will never call me the head of the Hou family again."

Hou Yuxiao looked at the young and beautiful postures of the two girls, and his mind moved slightly. He suppressed his anger and humbly suggested: "Since this trip cannot be publicized, it is best to be more similar. If not, we will pretend to be father and daughter.

, I wonder what you two think?"

Thinking that the old pious woman would call him dad later, Hou Yuxiao was extremely excited. Although it was fake, it was enough to take advantage of the old pious woman. He looked at the two women with great anticipation, looking forward to the two of them.

I didn't realize what I was thinking, so I agreed to the proposal.

…………

An hour later, north of Baimingdu.

A carriage pulled by three high-quality horses was galloping on the official road. Hou Yuxiao was waving his whip and shouting "frame" while looking sideways at the curtain of the carriage behind him from time to time, with a look of resentment on his face.

"Concentrate on driving. We must reach Linjiang Daocheng within three days."

Suddenly, a cold voice came from inside the carriage. Hou Yuxiao was startled and quickly replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, young lady, I will try my best to reach Linjiang Daocheng within three days."

After saying that, he didn't dare to think about it anymore and concentrated on driving north. The speed of the carriage was no faster than that of a single person. It could only cover more than 1,500 miles a day. Baimingdu was more than 4,000 miles away from Linjiang Daocheng.

, the three days were quite tense, so he had to concentrate.

According to the fastest way to go to Zhongzhou Shendu, the three of them should ride horses directly. Zhan Taiqing arranged a carriage to drive on. Hou Yuxiao didn't understand it at first. Later, when he saw her changing the route, Hou Yuxiao immediately realized that this old godly woman was

In order not to be intercepted by others, I deliberately slowed down and changed my route.

As a result, Hou Yuxiao felt even more unsure. Although the old Qian woman was not good, her strength was still insignificant. Even the enemy she tried so hard to avoid must be more powerful than she imagined.

If this were to happen, wouldn't it be a dead end?

The day's journey ahead of Linjiang Road was fine. There were not many people on the official road, but the situation was still normal. However, after walking north for another day and entering Linjiang Road, the situation on the official road changed.

The fleeing people with their families and families were living in groups, and among them there were even many warriors who were in the Body Realm or even the Gang Qi Realm. The warriors were not bad, but they had the ability to stay with them. For the warriors, where is the food?

None of it is difficult.

The most miserable thing was the ordinary people. Basically everyone Hou Yuxiao saw was described as withered and shambling. At first glance, they looked like they had traveled long distances to escape and had not enough to eat.

Beside the official road, the selling of children and girls often happens. Robbing families, bullying men and dominating women is commonplace even among ordinary people, let alone occasions where warriors are present. Some scenes are not even considered to be in the human world.

Hell, but not too far off.

And this situation becomes more obvious the closer you get to the counties and cities on the road. On the second day alone, Hou Yuxiao passed through seven counties and one city, and saw tens of millions of victims at least on the road.

It is almost equal to the total population of the four counties under the jurisdiction of his Hou family.

Hou Yuxiao thought he was not very kind-hearted, but when he saw a situation that went too far, he couldn't help but intervene. Dingxiang was okay, and her eyes were very complimentary to him, but Zhan Taiqing was sarcastic to him. Although he didn't stop him, he was very kind in his words.

He also mostly mocked and poured cold water on me.

At first, Hou Yuxiao didn't understand, and thought that the old pious woman was just a hard-hearted woman. But as time went by, and the more miserable things he saw, he realized why Zhan Taiqing wanted to pour cold water on him.

There are too many victims, and each one faces a more desperate situation than the last. The situation is not too extreme at all, only more extreme.

Selling children and daughters is already unacceptable to him, but it is not surprising when he sees people killing children and daughters with their own hands, and then committing suicide; even when the rations are exhausted, there is no food to wrap their bellies, and they eat dead bodies and human flesh.

It is not uncommon to see common people; as for those warriors facing desperate situations, doing all kinds of inhumane things to ordinary people, they can be seen everywhere...

Hou Yuxiao was almost numb. No matter how strong he was, there was only one person, and the number of people he could save was limited. Besides, his destination was exactly the opposite of those who were fleeing. He couldn't take them away, and saving people was only temporary.

Linjiang Road, Xingye Fucheng, Juyuan Restaurant

"This is already the northernmost city on Linjiang Road. If we walk more than four hundred miles north, we will exit Linjiang Road and arrive at Wangchuan Road."

"It's exactly the same. We'll arrive in three days. Although you, an old slave, don't look very clever, you are better than trying your best. You are not bad at all!"

Zhan Taiqing was sitting next to the window. Hearing Ding Xiang say where he was now, he turned around and teased Hou Yuxiao. When Hou Yuxiao heard the word "lao slave", there were a few more wrinkles on his face. Seeing that he was deflated,

Zhan Taiqing's cold and beautiful face under the veil suddenly revealed a rare smile.

I don't know how many times I was called "Old slave" along the way. Hou Yuxiao was forced by Zhan Taiqing's power and dared not speak out in anger. Even if she felt unhappy at the moment, she could only nod and say with a smile: "Thank you, Miss, for the compliment."

"As soon as you enter Wangchuan Road, just ride on horseback!"

Now riding a carriage and now riding a horse, I am not afraid of knocking you over, old pious woman. Although Hou Yuxiao is full of malice in his heart, he still quite approves of the old pious woman's decision. He changes the route, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, so that the enemy can't figure it out.

This is indeed a good idea.

"Most of these people fled from Zhongzhou. They should all come from Lincang Road and Dongyuan Road. Even if Dajin and Qinjian Villa captured Dayu, they wouldn't be so miserable. They would make the people miserable, and in the end they would not be able to increase their own wealth.

Are there governance costs?”

Hou Yuxiao looked at the refugees on the streets of Fucheng and couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart. Ding Xiang was obviously curious about this question and looked at Zhan Taiqing with him.

"Even the aftermath of a battle between two Kaishen-level warriors would be fatal to these ordinary people, let alone a million-level holy land war. If anything goes wrong, the whole city will be buried with them.

Moreover, the hatred between the Jin Dynasty and the Dayu Dynasty lasted for more than a thousand years. Both parties were jealous of each other when they met. In the past, when the Dayu Dynasty was in great power, Jizhou and the Five Southern States pursued the Jin Dynasty and killed them.

Ordinary people showed no mercy, but now that the situation is reversed, how could the Jin Dynasty hold back?"

Zhan Taiqing obviously knew these things very well, but she also understood that these words were not enough to clear up the doubts in Hou Yuxiao's heart, so she continued: "Besides, what caused these people to flee was not necessarily the Holy Land War, the people entrenched in various places

The warrior forces will all flee before the war, and in order to preserve their own power, they will carry out large-scale plunder. In some places, before the war breaks out, the people have already been deprived of their livelihood."

After she finished speaking, she paused, sneered again, and continued: "Besides these wolf-hearted warriors, there are even more powerful ones!"

"Demon?" Hou Yuxiao was slightly moved and asked softly.

"You old slave, you have some knowledge. In troubled times, demons are everywhere. This is not just an empty talk. Even for ordinary people, as long as enough people die and their blood is too strong, they will attract the prying eyes of demons in the wilderness, let alone these dragons.

The warriors are fierce and powerful. In any large-scale war, especially one that rises to the level of a holy land, the casualties will not be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. These dead warriors are the best thing to nourish the demons.

Any place where warriors fight will inevitably attract demons. If you are unlucky and attract demons that are as powerful as the Blood Demon, or even more powerful than the Blood Demon, then not only a palace, but also all the creatures in the area will suffer.

, do you think these people should run or not?"

Hou Yuxiao nodded. He originally wanted to ask the two places in Hexi and Hedong that had just fought a war, how to explain the fact that such a situation did not occur, but he soon figured it out.

During the Tongling Rebellion, almost all the demons around Xingnan Mansion were involved. Counting the ridiculously strong Red Girl, no demons would dare to come for a long time.

Besides, in fact, the two places in Hexi and Hedong were not lightly devastated by the war. Just look at how much profit the Hou family made from it. The more than 100,000 warriors in the Hou family now all come from those small forces that have been destroyed.

, did not come out of thin air. If the warriors are so powerful, the situation of ordinary people in the four counties will only be worse.

Without Hou Yuduan's subsequent governance, it is foreseeable that the situation in the four counties in Hexi, even if it is better than the current situation, will not be much better.

"Okay, it's almost time to rest, let's go!"

Zhan Taiqing gave an order, and Hou Yuxiao and Dingxiang hurriedly followed. When they left the restaurant, they did the same as before. The two women entered the car, Hou Yuxiao drove in front, and soon they sped out of Fucheng and continued to move north. According to the planned route, they only needed to

In two hours, they could enter Wangchuan Road, and Hou Yuxiao couldn't help but speed up a bit.

However, after walking for two hours, when they arrived at the dividing line between Wangchuan Road and Linjiang Road, Hou Yuxiao, who had been using his true energy to sense the situation ahead, suddenly frowned and slowed down the carriage.

"Hou Dashan is about to take action again..."

Hou Dashanren was a nickname specially given by Zhan Taiqing to ridicule him. Although Hou Yuxiao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he did not stop the movements of his hands and slowly stopped the carriage.

"Two little bastards stole my money and want to run away!"

Near the boundary monument in the distance, five or six strong men in front were chasing two children who looked to be under ten years old. They chased them until they reached the front of Hou Yuxiao's carriage, and then stopped.
