Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

"Everyone, you all know that Leiyin Temple sent us a congratulatory gift, right?"

Hou Yuxiao had already been angry with Hou Yuduan about what he was going to say today, and asked him to come out and talk first. It was just to explain the situation to everyone first. However, after Hou Yuduan stood up, he did not talk about it directly, but threw it out first.

A question.

The matter of Leiyin Temple sending congratulatory gifts not only caused a fuss in the Hou family, but after the wedding banquet was over, everyone in Hexi would definitely know about it. Everyone present was also shocked yesterday.

During the Battle of Longxiang Ferry, Hexi brought disgrace to Leiyin Temple. Hou Yuxiao was getting married. It would have been nice if the other party didn't cause trouble. He even gave a congratulatory gift, and it was also a valuable spiritual weapon, the Buddha's Light Screen.

This is weird no matter how you think about it.

"Master, may I ask Leiyin Temple if there have been any major changes recently?"

There are many smart people among the Hou family today.

Duan Hong, the master of Pingtianmen, is one of them.

It is naturally difficult for ordinary people to see through the game between the big forces, but Duan Hong is different. He has been the leader of the Pingtian Clan for many years. Although he has now joined the Hou family, his vision and structure are still there.

In this world, there are only two situations that can make others put aside their prejudices and take the initiative to show kindness to the enemy. One is that the enemy is too strong, and the other is that oneself has problems and needs to shake hands and make peace first.

Leiyin Temple has known about Hou Yuxiao's marriage for a long time. If it was because of the Ziqing Holy Sect, they should have expressed their goodwill long ago. Since there have been no other major changes in the Hou family recently, there is only the second scenario:

There must be something wrong with Leiyin Temple.

"Master Duan, you are really amazing!"

Hou Yuduan's compliment confirmed Duan Hong's answer, and the faces of everyone below suddenly showed joy.

The current situation in Hexi is only Taiping in the east, Leiyin Temple in the west, and temples in the south. They are all troubles. Now that Leiyin Temple has a problem, it is definitely good news for Hexi.

"It can take as short as a few years or as long as ten years. Leiyin Temple should not cause trouble to me in Hexi. This is the reason why they sent the congratulatory gift. You think that since the trouble in the west is gone, I, Hexi, should take the next step.

What to do?"

As soon as Hou Yuduan asked this question, most of the people below immediately looked at each other. Only a few people looked up and saw Hou Yuxiao above, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

"May I ask the head of the family if he intends to take action against Southern Xinjiang?"

This time it was not Duan Hong who asked, but Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng has served as the commander of the Qinglong Society for many years, and his understanding of the situation around Hexi is as good as Hou Yuling, who is in charge of the lower Hou clan. Hearing Hou Yuduan confirm Duan Hong's guess, and then thinking that Hou Yuxiao specially called them all here today, the connection between the two

It's not hard to guess after a while.

"Yes, I do intend to attack Southern Xinjiang, but..."

"Master, think twice! At the peak of the Southern Xinjiang Temple, it was comparable to the Holy Land. Even though it was so weak, the standing troops were more than two million at least. And although the Five Seedlings are not in harmony internally, as long as there is an invasion of foreign enemies, they will definitely

We are united and united, but our Hexi Alliance's million-strong army wants to attack southern Xinjiang, but we are afraid that we are too weak to do so and will not be able to accomplish it!"

Duan Hong was the first to stand up and object. Hou Yuxiao did not blame him. He was very clear about the strength of the Southern Xinjiang Temple. The facts were just as Duan Hong said. Not only was Hexi inferior to Southern Xinjiang in terms of standing military strength, but also in terms of experts, Hexi and

The gap in southern Xinjiang is not even a tiny bit.

Not to mention anything else, each of the five Miao tribes has a martial arts sub-sage sitting in charge. For this reason alone, Hexi is outmatched, let alone the powerful masters of the broken realm, the holy realm of yin and yang, and the Yuandan warriors.

.

The number of top experts and troops cannot be compared to that of Hexi and Southern Xinjiang.

Duan Hong is definitely not the only one who wants to dissuade him.

"Have I not finished speaking yet?"

Duan Hong then thought that Hou Yuxiao was just about to say no, but he was too hasty to interrupt. He quickly bowed and apologized, stepped back and continued to listen to Hou Yuxiao.

"The strength of Southern Xinjiang is indeed far better than ours, so this matter needs to be considered in the long run. Leiyin Temple has no time to deal with us at the moment. Tongtian Mansion in the east has good relations with us, and the war in Hedong is continuing. We can just concentrate on dealing with Southern Xinjiang."

Speaking of this, Hou Yuxiao paused for a moment. Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, he knew that everyone was still not optimistic about it. He was silent for a moment and then shook his head and said: "In this world, not everything is straightforward. In terms of strength,

, can Hexi compare with Leiyin Temple?"

Hou Yuxiao's words made everyone look stunned.

They quickly realized what Hou Yuxiao meant, and their expressions changed slightly.

In terms of hard power, Hexi is not as good as Southern Xinjiang, and it is even worse than Leiyin Temple, but does it mean that it will be defeated?

The battle of Long Xiangdu was a bloody example.

As long as the plan is right, even Leiyin Temple in Hexi can be defeated, let alone the temple in Nanjiang!

"Hexi currently has an army of one million, including 200,000 Red Flame Army, 300,000 Zhaoyang Army, 500,000 Hexi Army, and an army of one million. It sounds exciting, but when you look at the world, it is nothing at all!

Not to mention, in Tongtian Mansion, He Bo has thousands of demons under his command. Even the most powerful Buddha Fahai from Leiyin Temple is here in person, but he dare not touch his edge. He Bo has made good friends with me, Hexi today, so there is no need to worry, but who can

Guarantee that he will always be on good terms with me, Hexi?

King Wuwei of Hedong has 500,000 Tianwei troops under his command who are comparable to the elites of the Holy Land. As Hou Jing captured the two prefectures of Lingyuan and Guangling, the number of his troops also continued to increase. When he captured Junkang Prefecture, he controlled the three prefectures.

The territory and the army are countless. What if one day, he also covets me, Hexi?

Leiyin Temple's current situation has changed, and he has no choice but to show his kindness to me in Hexi. When his condition improves, do you think those bald donkeys will forget the hatred of Longxiang Crossing and let us in Hexi?

According to the news brought back by Xiahoumen, it has been more than two months since the Rakshasa Holy Cult attacked Xiyun Daocheng in Bingzhou. Once Xiyun Daocheng was defeated, the eight-hundred-mile Moyun Mountain could not be defended. The army of the Rakshasa Holy Cult

, it was easy to take over the whole territory, and the Yangmei Road behind them was like a smooth river. It is uncertain when the Rakshasa Holy Church will defeat Bingzhou. Do you think the Rakshasa Holy Church will turn its head and set its sights on Xianyuan Road by then?

These are just the situations around Hexi. Now that the world is in chaos, if we continue to cling to a corner of Hexi without seeking progress, we will only die when others come over!

If Hexi changes hands, will you still have your current status and treatment?"

Hou Yuduan's words made many people here breathe a little heavier involuntarily. The people in the main hall today are all senior members of the Hou family. After the unification of Hexi, they benefited the most. Now let them

Giving up your status is no different than killing them.

"Fifth Master, just tell me how you want to deal with Southern Xinjiang!"

"The surrounding areas of Hexi are surrounded by dangers, so we really need to be prepared for a rainy day."

"If you want to protect yourself, it is imperative to open up new territories. If you have any orders from me, please tell me directly. We will go there and cause trouble without hesitation."

"In a time of great strife, retreating to protect yourself will lead to death."

……………

There is a big difference between cultivators and ordinary people.

Hou Yuduan was deliberately stimulating everyone's emotions. These people in the main hall could tell. The reason why they chose to cooperate was because they could understand what Hou Yuduan said.

The key is that they can also see through the essence of things.

The Hexi Alliance, or the Hou family, is now a ship. They are all the leaders on the ship, and they want to continue to be the leader, so they agree with Hou Yuduan from the bottom of their hearts.

If they want to maintain this big ship, they have to expand their territory. Not to mention shrinking to protect themselves will definitely be a dead end. At least if the master changes in the future, they will not be able to have the status and treatment they have now.

Hou Yuxiao cheered up slightly. Even he was a little touched by Hou Yuduan's words. He could also understand the reactions of the following people.

"The two prefectures in Hexi have a population of more than 20 million, and an army of one million is already at its limit. This is the result after we have banned all incoming forces within the territory. If we want to continue to expand the army, we must expand our territory. To the east,

There is no hope for either the west or the north. We can only focus on the south. The strength of the temple is indeed twice that of Hexi, but as long as we work step by step and gradually penetrate, it is not impossible to win.

Leiyin Temple will not target us in the short term, let alone Tongtian Mansion and Hedong. At least for now, time is on our side, so as long as this matter is discussed in the long term, we have hope!"

Hou Yuxiao paused for a moment, then continued to speak after organizing himself:

"Since the Southern Xinjiang Temple was defeated by Sikong Xingzhou's army four hundred years ago, the Five Miao have always been at odds with each other. It was not until Sikong Yue supported the Qing Miao and suppressed the other four ethnic groups a few years ago that the situation changed slightly.

Well, Qingmiao still has unclear connections with the Rakshasa Holy Cult. The Five Miao are most taboo about external intervention, and the other Four Miao ethnic groups must be dissatisfied with Qingmiao.

The four seedlings are so honest now because they are afraid of the strong power of the green seedlings, and they are also afraid of the Rakshasa Holy Cult behind the green seedlings. As long as we can find a way to provoke conflicts between them and disintegrate the five seedlings' alliance from the inside, then, with

Only when you go to southern Xinjiang can you have hope!"

What Hou Yuxiao said was very general, but it had to be said that it was the most feasible way, and it also provided an idea for everyone.

However, some people soon raised questions.

Gao Cheng whispered: "The head of the family is right, but we are causing trouble in southern Xinjiang. Will the Rakshasa Holy Sect..."

"The Rakshasa Holy Cult is currently focusing on Bingzhou. As long as we can capture Southern Xinjiang before they withdraw from Bingzhou, there will be no problem. Therefore, the speed of capturing Southern Xinjiang is very important!"

The person who answered Gao Cheng's question was Hou Yuduan.

His face was a little solemn. Speed ​​was indeed the key to the actions in southern Xinjiang. In fact, it was not just the Rakshasa Holy Cult that had to worry. Leiyin Temple in the west was also very important. Not only did they have to prevent the Rakshasa Holy Cult from withdrawing from Bingzhou,

At the same time, once the situation of Leiyin Temple improves, it will also turn its attention to Hexi.

If by then, Hexi will still be entangled with Southern Xinjiang...

Leiyin Temple will not miss such a good opportunity.

"Lao Wu, the focus of the tribe in the next few years is all in southern Xinjiang. The specific plans and deployments are all yours. Qinglonghui, Shangxiahoumen, and all the counties under our control in Hexi will fully cooperate with you. If necessary,

, even the second-largest Hexi army will be mobilized by you. As long as I see the results, of course if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me!"

"Yes, brother!"

Hou Yuduan's voice was slightly moved. Hou Yuxiao had given him all the greatest authority in the family. This was not an ordinary trust in him.

"We will obey the order of the family master!"

Hou Yuxiao pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Hou Yucheng and said: "The situation on both sides of the east and west has become stable. The local garrison situation can be slightly changed. The defense forces of Longxiang County in the east and Jiuxun County in the west can be reduced. The remaining defense forces can be reduced.

Send enough troops to deal with southern Xinjiang."

"Yes, brother."

"Sanniang, Xiahoumen cannot relax in collecting intelligence around Hexi and all over the world, especially the war in Hedong and the movements of major holy places. As soon as there is any news, please inform me immediately."

"Yes, brother!"

After Hou Yuxiao made a series of arrangements, he whispered: "I have some insights into the battle at Wanglong Mountain. It will take a long time to retreat for a while. I will stay in Fucheng during this period. If there is any emergency, you can inform me at any time. For other

You can take matters into your own hands."

When they heard that Hou Yuxiao was going to retreat, the expressions on everyone's faces were slightly excited. Hou Yucheng and others already knew about the battle at Wanglong Mountain, and the three Gao brothers also spread the word.

Being able to fight against Fahai World Honored Master, Hou Yuxiao is considered by everyone to be a martial arts sub-sage. After coming out of seclusion this time, wouldn't his strength be as strong as...

As soon as he saw everyone's faces, Hou Yuxiao knew what they were thinking, but he didn't explain it. After all, these people thought that his strength was not a bad thing, so he simply let them go.

His true cultivation level is still only in the Qianyang realm. He can't say whether he can break through this round of retreat, but the sense of urgency in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, which is true.

Fahai knew about his use of good deeds to improve his cultivation.

Sikong Yue gave him another golden page of merit.

These two things put too much pressure on Hou Yuxiao...

Especially the latter. In fact, when he saw Sikong Yue's golden page of merit that day, Hou Yuxiao's first reaction was not happiness, but fear. For too long, he had no idea where the golden page of merit was from.

It was Sikong Yue who had forgotten about it.

What strength does Sikong Yue have now?

This question popped up in Hou Yuxiao's mind, and his face was as gloomy as blood.

During the Zhaoyang Rebellion seven years ago, Sikong Yue was at the second level of Grandmaster. He has never seen this woman since then. But just based on the inherent impression of Sikong Yue in his mind, Hou Yuxiao knew that this woman's strength was definitely far beyond his own.

imagination.

At least a powerful one in the Broken Realm, or even... a martial arts sub-sage...

Hou Yuxiao made a wild guess, and suddenly realized that he hadn't even figured out the golden page of merit left by the other person in the sea of ​​consciousness, and they even sent a second one over. What was the use of speculating on the other person's strength?

Apart from anything else, if Sikong Yue really wants to harm herself, or if this golden page of merit is her means, then it goes without saying that if she confronts her one day, she will probably manipulate her at will.

This is the biggest reason why Hou Yuxiao is anxious to retreat...
