Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

The river wind is sometimes biting and sometimes gentle, and there are often huge creatures swimming by the river, including some water monsters that exude a bland and demonic aura.

Gao Changlong and three others surrounded the boat and waited for more than three hours. They waited until it was getting dark before they saw the three people in the boat and finally came out.

"Now that Hou Mou has said this, what choice should be made depends on the Lu Family Master!"

Hou Yuxiao was the first to bow to Lu Kangping. Lu Kangping's face had never been very good-looking. Hearing his words, he just nodded lightly without making any response.

After saying this, Hou Yuxiao looked at Lu Yuanfu who was standing next to him, gently cupped his hands and said: "In addition to meeting the head of the Lu family this time, Hou wanted to have another drink and chat with Brother Lu, but he was entangled in trivial matters.

We can only leave it for later, Brother Lu, go slowly."

Lu Yuanfu still had the same polite attitude and quickly bowed in return.

"Changlong, the three of you will give the head of the Lu family a ride."

"Yes, Master!"

Gao Changlong, who was in the distance, heard the sound and hurriedly approached the ship to send the Lu family off respectfully.

The river breeze was blowing slowly. Hou Yuxiao stood alone on the bow of the boat, looking at the north, frowning, and gradually fell into deep thought. It wasn't until a figure in white flew from the distance and slowly approached and stood on the bow that he stopped thinking.

Turn around and speak:

"Have all the people in Longxiang County been evacuated?"

"It's only four days. We want to move all the 5.7 million people in the county to Wanyang County. It's not that fast. However, in the past two days, Hebo has reduced the rainfall, and the situation of the victims has improved a lot.

Young Master, Third Sister has already led the tribe to seize the time. It is estimated that it will take about ten days. We should be able to evacuate all the people before the flood floods Longxiang County. There will be no serious problem!"

The visitor was none other than Hou Yuduan, who had just arrived from Sishui County.

Hearing the heaviness in Hou Yuduan's tone, Hou Yuxiao shook his head slightly, stared into his eyes for a while, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Why, you can't stand the evil deeds of the Hedong Alliance?"

Hou Yuduan nodded heavily, his mood fluctuated obviously, but he was soon restrained by himself. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Before going to Sishui County, I still had some hope for the Hedong Righteous Alliance, but now it looks like

Come on, they are just the same as the Jin Dynasty."

"To a certain extent, so do we..."

After finishing speaking, seeing Hou Yuduan fall into silence, Hou Yuxiao took a slight breath, turned his head to look at the river, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and continued:

"One general's achievements lead to tens of thousands of bones. These holy places have ruled the states for more than a thousand years. Which one's hands are not stained with blood, and which family's path to rise is not made of mountains of corpses.

Let’s not talk about it far away, let’s just say that the people all over the world still think that the wilderness is occupied by demons because they are powerful. The so-called Taixi, Nihan, and Longyu, the three most powerful immortal-level demons, are killed in these holy places.

It’s so effortless to get up, what do the scattered monsters in the wilderness mean to these holy places?”

Speaking of monsters, Hou Yuxiao couldn't help but shake his head, his face full of sighs.

Thinking back to many years ago, he was afraid of avoiding the wilderness. No matter it was in the classics or the words of the people, it was said without exception that the wilderness was the territory of demons, and the people of China had always lived under the shadow of demons.

The deaths of the three demons have fully demonstrated that demons are by no means an insurmountable problem for humans. There is only one reason why it has become like this, and that is the connivance of the Holy Land.

"The demons suck the essence and blood of warriors. They are born from the combination of heaven and earth spirits and blood resentment. They are born out of human beings. Wherever there are endless battles, powerful demons will continue to breed. It is not so much the connivance of the Holy Land, but the connivance of the Holy Land.

It would be better to say that they mass-produced monsters.

Demons occupying the wilderness will help them control the people of various states. At the same time, it can also strengthen the reliance of ordinary people on warriors. By slaying demons, they can increase the prestige of major holy places, such as the Purple Qing Holy Sect, White Deer Academy, and Haoran Holy Sect.

, and the previous Leiyin Temple, don’t they have the ability to eliminate demons? In the final analysis, four words..."

"Respect yourself as a bandit!"

Hearing these four words coming out of Hou Yuxiao's mouth, Hou Yuduan's expression was slightly sad, a little disappointed, and also had some hard-to-conceal hatred.

It's sad because he has a kind heart, but at the same time he has to admit that the Hou family's rise is not much different from those in these holy places. They kill people the same way, exterminate clans and families, rely on the holy places, and even rely on monsters.

.

The disappointment comes from the fact that his good hopes for the Holy Land of Righteousness, especially the White Deer Academy and the Haoran Holy Sect, have collapsed at this moment. A third-level monster like He Bo can obey the orders of the Hedong Alliance, but others are weaker.

What about the demons? Could even the stronger first-level demons be colluding with them or Dajin?

As Hou Yuxiao said, raising bandits with self-respect and demons being able to exist in the thirteen states of the world for a long time is the result of the deliberate connivance of these holy places. At present, the struggle between the Jin Dynasty and the alliance for the world has just begun. By then, it is not known who will be under the command of these holy places.

How many powerful demons emerged.

As for hatred, Hou Yuduan doesn't know what he hates. Is it these sanctimonious holy places? Not necessarily, after all, the Hou family is the same as them; is it the Jin Dynasty that intends to conquer the world? Not to mention, what he hates may be

It's still this muddy world where demons and humans mix together and there is no distinction between good and evil.

"The alliance asked Hebo to bring heavy rains and floods, which flooded Longxiang County. They intended to widen the Tongtian River. The water level in the west of the river has risen, but the water depth is not deep enough for the Jin's troop transport ships to sail. Even the Jin's

When you reach Hexi, you either have to spend time to deal with the flood, or you have to build a large number of small boats, and then you can cross the river by boat;

On the other hand, if the Hedong Alliance wants to send troops to Hexi, it only needs to use big ships to transport the army to Longxiang Ferry. Even without small boats, the soldiers only need to swim more than ten miles to land and resist the Jin army.

The Jin Dynasty caused a severe drought in Xiapi County and rampantly steamed the water. The water level in Chaoxiadu in the north of Xiapi County dropped at a rate of three meters per day. If the drought continues for another month, I am afraid that everything 300 miles north of the river will dry up. Youye

Huang Tuoba Zun's warship with millions of troops has been sailing south for half a month. This plan is to directly evaporate the area north of Zhaoxiadu. Then the warship will arrive at a similar position on the river and let the soldiers go directly to the ground as quickly as possible.

Du marched to the west of Hexi. At this speed, the army originally took three months to travel, but now it only takes less than a month to complete the journey.

The strategies of both sides are both brilliant. The only shortcoming is that the Jin Dynasty and the Hedong Alliance do not take the Hou family seriously, nor do they regard the tens of millions of people in Hexi as a human being."

By the end of Hou Yuxiao's words, his tone was already very gloomy.

The natural disaster caused by Dajin and Hexi has lasted for half a month. If Hou still doesn't understand the true purpose of the two parties, it would be useless to call him the lord of Hexi. In addition to threatening Hexi, the most important purpose of the two parties is

, or to prepare for their next war.

The Jin Dynasty is far away from the Hexi River, so in order to speed up, the three hundred miles north of Zhaoxiadu are evaporated. After the army reaches the middle and lower reaches, it is the fastest to disembark directly from the ship and march directly from the land;

Hedong is close, and the alliance's army is only separated from Hexi by the Tongtian River, so they are not in a hurry to mobilize the army, but first find a way to deploy a line of defense. The first line of defense has long been determined to be Hexi, so Hexi will be theirs.

The first battle site with Da Jin was to flood Longxiang County in order to set up a second line of defense. If Da Jin could not be stopped in Hexi, the Tongtian River, which had risen so much, would be the second line of defense.

At least it can delay Da Jin for a few months.

Severe droughts and floods have shown that the two parties have a tacit understanding to regard the entire Hexi area as the first battlefield. This means that Hexi will definitely become a battlefield. By then, all the wealth created by the Hou family in the past ten years will be

, everything will be reduced to nothing, which is the biggest reason why Hou Yuxiao’s tone is gloomy at this moment.

"Before the two parties made these moves, they did not even ask for Hexi's opinion. Before they took action, Hexi did not dare to join the alliance. After I expressed my stance on joining the alliance to Tongtian Hebo in Sishui County, he

The response was also very dull. From this point of view, we are looking for Da Jin, and the feedback we received is probably the same. As long as my Hou family’s army does not take a clear stand against the other side, I am afraid that none of them will take us seriously.

thing!"

Hou Yuduan paused for a moment when he said this, turned around and saw Hou Yuxiao's heavy expression, and continued: "I have told He Bo that the eldest brother has brought an army to Xiapi County to prepare against the Jin army moving south. He said that he will inform the alliance.

The visitor confirmed that it should be these few days. I estimate that the alliance's army has also begun to cross the river. As long as the flood floods Longxiang County, their army will definitely come ashore before the Jin Dynasty. Then we will fight together. Brother

,we…………"

"It's time to take action!"

After Hou Yuxiao finished speaking, he turned to look at the river and fell silent again.

Seeing that he didn't continue, Hou Yuduan looked a little confused, but he opened his mouth and saw that Hou Yuxiao had no intention of speaking, so he didn't ask.

In fact, up until now, Hou Yuxiao has not revealed any thoughts about this battle to them. He only said that Hexi's position is anti-Jin.

But since the stance is anti-Jin, why not join the Yangzhou League?

Even if it was to avoid being targeted by the Jin Dynasty, the two parties were now at an extreme level of tension. The Jin Dynasty began to move southward, and Hedong also began to cross westward, but they did nothing. Why?

Did he bring his army to Zhaoxiadu to resist the Jin army?

Are you kidding? Resisting the Jin Dynasty is not a matter for the Hou family. Not to mention the 500,000 Red Flame Army currently stationed at Zhaoxiadu, it is the Hou family's 2 million Red Flame Army plus 3 million Zhaoyang Army.

, it can’t stop the Jin army from going south!

The correct way to respond is to wait for the troops from the Hedong Alliance to cross to the west, and then join forces with them to resist the Jin Dynasty. This does not mean that Zhe will protect his body and strength, but at least he must be fully prepared before fighting against the Jin Dynasty. The Hou family has fought in many previous battles.

Among them, they are all masters of protecting themselves wisely. He doesn't believe that anyone with a normal mind can see such a simple thing, but even the elder brother can't.

This only proves that eldest brother Hou Yuxiao has other plans.

I just don’t know why, but my eldest brother hasn’t made it clear to them yet.

Could it be that the elder brother is still wavering in his heart?

Saying that you stand against the Jin Dynasty is just a stop-gap measure. In fact, does the eldest brother want to support the Jin Dynasty?

No, no, no...

Hou Yuduan quickly overturned this guess in his mind. Based on his understanding of Hou Yuxiao, it was impossible to turn to the Jin Dynasty. If it was really an expedient measure, Hou Yuxiao had no reason to deliberately deceive them. His stance against the Jin Dynasty must be true.

of.

"Lao Wu, tell me, after all these years, I have suffered so much at the hands of Sikong Yue. How does she view me and Hexi?"

…………

Hou Yuduan's expression froze, and he was a little caught off guard by Hou Yuxiao's question.

He didn't know why his eldest brother suddenly asked this, but after pondering for a moment, he quickly gave his answer and said softly: "Since the Zhaoyang Rebellion, my eldest brother has had three dealings with Sikong Yue.

As my eldest brother said, I have been manipulated by her three times. It is expected that she will despise my eldest brother in her heart. With Sikong Yue's current status and strength, her attitude towards me, Hexi, must also be mostly contemptuous."

"That said, after returning from Yongdu, she will definitely think that I will try every means to open the treasure house of Shenzong, let her Crescent God Sect end smoothly, and unite with the Hedong Alliance to fight against the Jin. In this way, the Jin Dynasty may be defeated

I know how to throw a rat weapon, and I am not in a hurry to go south, but I want to solve the Qinjian Villa first, and then go south from Jizhou. Our Hexi will not have to be reduced to a battlefield. At the same time, we can also rely on the Crescent God Sect and the Hedong Alliance to continue to survive. That's it, no

Wrong?"

Hou Yuxiao had already told Hou Yuduan everything about Yongdu. After asking this question, he saw Hou Yuduan nodded immediately. A slight smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. He turned back to look at the river and took a gentle breath.

tone, said:

"The Great Jin Holy Dynasty and the Hedong Alliance don't take Hexi seriously, and Sikong Yue's Crescent Moon God Sect has taken control of Hexi to such an extent. Speaking of which, right now, I, Hexi, are just a piece of meat on the chopping board of these three parties, allowing them to slaughter them as they please.

No wonder there are severe droughts in the north and floods in the east. They dared to do it without saying a word."

Hearing Hou Yuxiao's words, Hou Yuduan's face was slightly depressed, and he sighed heavily and said: "You are a swordsman, and I am a fish. In front of these holy places, Hexi is still too weak after all, and has no choice.

The Jin Dynasty is in a hurry to cross the river, and the alliance is also crossing the river. The Crescent God Sect in the west is sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight, while waiting for the elder brother to open the Shen Sect's treasure house to enter at any time. At present, the only option left for us is to open the treasure house.

On the way, after the treasure house is opened, it can attract the major saints to fight for it, which can delay it for a period of time. Moreover, when the treasure house is over, the New Moon God Sect can also end, and the situation will become even more chaotic. Only then will we in Hexi have a chance.

But in this way, we still inevitably fell into Sikong Yue's trap, and things are going in the direction she expected. In the end, the one who will gain the most will probably think like before, it is her New Moon God Sect, with the new

With the Moon God Sect's current situation, if we let Sikong Yue plot it again, the outcome will not be as simple as before!"

"Crossing the river... crossing the river...trap..."

Hou Yuxiao faced the river and murmured a few words softly.

"Wherever they are crossing the river, right now, it is clearly me, the Hou family, who is crossing the river!

Caught between these three parties, if you make one wrong move, you will lose everything.

But we can't move, because if we don't cross, it will be a dead end.

The public did not cross the river, the public actually crossed the river...

How should I, Mrs. Hou, cross the river in front of me?"

Hou Yuxiao said this with gritted teeth, a sinister expression, and a solemn expression, as if he was asking Hou Yuduan, but also himself.
