Half a year has passed since the Zhaoyang Rebellion. According to Sikong Yue's order, Zhaoyang without the county magistrate and Sizheng can be said to be completely the city of the Hou family, without any discount.

The business and industry of the Hou family has penetrated into every corner of Zhaoyang County. Without competition, the output of iron ore, medicinal herbs has been rising steadily, and they are continuously sold to the county, bringing huge profits.

Not only that, the Hou family's business also extended to Tongling County. On the surface, there was the Zhaoyang Escort Bureau opened by Wang Gong, and secretly, the Qinglong Club was famous in the four counties. The income brought by these two industries can be said to be extremely generous.

Especially the Demon Rebellion that started in March plunged the whole of Tongling into panic. Only Zhaoyang County was safe, which attracted a large number of people to gather here. In just six months, Zhaoyang's population exploded from 320,000 to

increased to 600,000.

What's more important is that every family in the county is in panic, and the Hou family, who keeps to himself, is getting better and better in business and is expanding faster and faster.

Under such an environment, the Hou family has made a lot of money. The huge amount of silver was exchanged for not only the sudden increase in the number of warriors in the clan, but also with the support of various elixirs and spiritual materials, their cultivation

Because it is a thousand miles every day.

First of all, the second eldest son Hou Yucheng and the third eldest son Hou Yuling officially broke through and became warriors in the Jusha stage last month. The fourth and fifth eldest children who are far away in the county have reached the peak of the Jusha stage and have also achieved great success in the county.

reputation.

Then there are Wang Gong, Zhang Kong, Su Li, Xiong Nutao, Gao Cheng, Gao Hu, Hou Fei, Hou Ying, and Hou Cun. They all just broke through to the Ninggang realm this month.

The number of Gang Qi realm warriors in the clan suddenly reached 13.

Finally, the number of warriors in the clan has skyrocketed from about a thousand at the end of last year to 2,219, a full increase of double.

Among them, 176 are at the seventh level or above, more than 500 are at the fifth level or above, more than 700 are at the third level or above, and the remaining 900 or so are just beginners in martial arts, but with the family's strong resource supply, their cultivation levels are also high.

Thousands of miles a day.

Hou Yuxiao looked at the two thousand people pouring out from all directions, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. When he was in Wanyang County last month, Hou Yucheng had already sent a letter telling him about his family's situation.

The Grand Master is called the enemy of a thousand men. Although two thousand warriors can pose a threat to Chen Yuhe and Liu Fufeng, they also have eleven other masters in the Dan Bao stage. Ordinarily Hou Yucheng should not be so arrogant.

"This is what you rely on, it's ridiculous!"

Although Chen Yuhe was shocked, he quickly realized that the power in front of him did not pose any threat to his life, and he spoke in a serious tone.

As he opened his mouth, the true energy in his body also condensed. He drew out the long sword from his waist, and a powerful momentum swept in all directions in an instant.

call out……

Suddenly, a crossbow arrow shot out from behind Hou Yucheng like it pierced gold and cracked stone. Chen Yuhe raised his eyebrows and swiped his long sword horizontally. When he deflected the crossbow arrow, he noticed the terrifying power and his face suddenly changed drastically.

Bang!

He pushed the crossbow arrow to the side, shot it to the ground, and suddenly exploded like a small cannonball, creating a small circular crater about half a meter in diameter.

"Ten stone crossbows, five hundred, how can the little Hou family be so rich?"

Chen Yuhe let out an exclamation, and except for Zhao Qingxue, Monk Bu Zheng, and Tong Hu, the faces of everyone in the audience were suddenly filled with shock.

The bows and crossbows in the world are divided by weight, and the highest number can reach a hundred stones.

Ordinary crossbows of one to five stones can only threaten a tenth-level warrior at most, and require a first-level warrior to use them. Even so, a five-stone crossbow costs at least a thousand taels of silver.

Crossbows with more than five stones and less than ten stones can only be used by warriors of the third level or above. As long as the number exceeds a hundred, they can pose a threat to warriors of the Gang Qi realm, and the price is between 2,000 and 4,000 taels.

Ten stones can be called a powerful crossbow. It must be at the fifth level of cultivation before it can be used. Once the number exceeds a hundred, even masters at the master level will not dare to fight against it for a long time. It is so powerful that the price is as high as five thousand taels of silver.

.

Among the two thousand warriors in front of me, there are five hundred holding ten-stone crossbows. What does this mean?

Five hundred ten-stone crossbows cost one and a half million taels of silver...

This Hou family is just a third-rate small family, and they were just promoted at the beginning of the year. Where did they get so much money?

Not to mention other people who didn't know why, even Tong Hu, who had only been to Zhaoyang last year, had a look of horror in his eyes at this moment.

He is the young sect leader of the Tianding Sect. Even though they are a second-rate force, they only have about a thousand ten-stone crossbows in their sect.

Hou family, five hundred, how is that possible?

"If you are stubborn, get out of Zhaoyang!"

Hou Yucheng roared at everyone. It was obvious that Chen Yuhe's attempt just now had angered him.

Chen Yuhe, who had been humiliated by Hou Yucheng again and again, was a little helpless at this moment, with a sinister look on his face. He looked at Liu Fufeng next to him, and both of them had a sharp look in their eyes at the same time, obviously understanding.

understand the other person’s intention.

"Catch the thief first and capture the king first!"

The two of them were less than ten meters away from Hou Yucheng, and they activated their true energy at the same time. They jumped up from their horses and took action boldly, hoping to catch the leader Hou Yucheng before the crossbow arrow was fired.

In the night sky, two clusters of starlight condensed in Liu Fufeng's hands. They only flashed three times, and his body reached Hou Yucheng's left side in an instant.

Chen Yuhe's body did not move, but with lightning speed, he drew his sword and swung it out. A dazzling blue sword energy flew straight through the night and sealed Hou Yucheng's right side.

Comet Double Blade Liu Fufeng and Jiang Yujian Chen Yuhe, the two masters of Xian Dharma Realm, took action at the same time. Ordinarily Hou Yucheng didn't even have time to react.

But the reality is exactly the opposite. Hou Yucheng seemed to predict the future. He drew the knife one step faster than the two of them. The evil spirit in his body was completely condensed on the four-foot blade. Between the lightning and flint, he cut out a sword that shocked the whole audience.

The light of the sword was black, as bright as electricity, and even the darkness of night could not hide its sharpness. It collided with the dazzling blue sword energy that Chen Yuhe cut out. The sharp Gangsha and Zhenqi sword light collided, and immediately brought out

A howling wind.

Although this sword was stunning enough, there was a huge gap in cultivation between the two. The sword only blocked Chen Yuhe for three breaths before he was completely defeated. Fortunately, his blocked right side was already free.

However, he has no time to escape!

The sword energy on the right was blocked at the cost of Liu Fufeng on the left, holding two double blades that were already in front of his face. Liu Fufeng's eyes showed contempt and he sent the double blades forward to place them on his neck.

Chen Yuhe, who was shocked by Hou Yucheng's sword, felt slightly relieved when he saw that Liu Fufeng was about to succeed.

As long as they hold this kid's life in their hands, they will be safe and sound.

But at the critical moment, a long red whip like a snake's shadow suddenly flew out from the gate of the Hou Mansion, and its target was the Comet Double Blade in Liu Fufeng's hand.

There was a layer of red Gangsha attached to the red whip, which broke the wind and stopped flowing. It was instantly wrapped around Liu Fufeng's wrists. A huge force came. Liu Fufeng's face suddenly changed, and his true energy gathered in his wrists.

Go back hard.

The Gangsha was still not as good as his true energy. Liu Fufeng was out of control of his braids in just one area, but he didn't show any happy expression on his face.

The moment he let go, he lost the opportunity to control Hou Yucheng.

Of course, they can still take action, but do they still have a chance?

"You are really determined not to give up until you see the Yellow River. Brothers, have all your crossbows and arrows in hand ready to shoot them all into a hornet's nest at my command!"

Hou Yucheng stepped back five or six meters, stood side by side with Hou Yuling who came out of the door, roared, and gave the order directly.

The five hundred warriors holding powerful crossbows instantly loaded all the crossbow arrows and aimed at Chen Yuhe, Liu Fufeng, and Zhao Qingxue and others behind him. They only waited for Hou Yucheng's order, and the five hundred crossbow arrows would swarm in.

.

Chen Yuhe, Liu Fufeng, Tong Hu and others suddenly became a little ugly. These five hundred crossbow arrows would not kill them.

The problem is that they are all respectable people, and when they run away against a mere Zhaoyang Hou family, they are somewhat embarrassed about their dignity.

Hou Yuxiao had been watching everyone quietly from behind, his eyes becoming increasingly gloomy.

Just now, Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling were able to react in advance because he sent a message to warn him in advance. He really didn't expect that the family would put on such a posture. Hou Yucheng had been so good-natured before, and Chen Yuhe and Liu Fufeng

He actually insists on taking action, so ignorant!

Under the night, Hou Yucheng glanced at himself several times inadvertently. The questioning meaning in his eyes was obvious, and he was obviously waiting for Hou Yuxiao's order.

Although she was irritated, Hou Yuxiao still held back and did not give Hou Yucheng the order to take action.

Two thousand warriors, plus five hundred ten-stone crossbows, this power is indeed enough to threaten these people, but I have to admit that if a war really breaks out with them here, the warriors of the Hou Mansion will also die a lot, and the city will definitely be in chaos again in the end.

In the end, it is the family that suffers the most serious losses.

At this moment, Chen Yuhe and others were unwilling to leave voluntarily because of their appearance, and Hou Yuxiao did not want to start a big fight, so he delayed giving the order to take action. Hou Yucheng naturally would not give the order, so a magical scene appeared:

Neither of the two parties spoke a word, and they were just frozen at the door of the Hou Mansion.

Finally, it was Zhao Qingxue who broke the silence with a smile on her face. She dismounted and walked forward to Hou Yucheng, bowing slightly.

"Senior Chen and Senior Liu probably feel that it is impossible for a kind-hearted family like the Hou family to appear under the rule of the devil. Qingxue, the two seniors, have apologized to you. I hope that Mr. Hou can be noble. We guarantee that we will be there tonight."

How about staying here for one night and leaving Zhaoyang early tomorrow morning?"

This could be regarded as her helping Chen Yuhe and the others to subdue themselves. The direct descendant of the Holy Land saluted her. Hou Yucheng did not dare to neglect and hurriedly returned the gift to Zhao Qingxue. The anger in his heart disappeared a lot in an instant.

"I don't deserve the title of Second Master. Fairy Qingxue is so embarrassed. The small clan has spent a lot of effort to welcome you today. However, these two people really bullied others. In order to seek self-retribution, Hou has to be reckless.

act.”

The conversation between the two immediately relieved the chilling atmosphere.

To show her sincerity, Zhao Qingxue also turned to look at Chen Yuhe and Liu Fufeng, and said softly: "Master Hou is so easy to talk to, how about you two seniors also put down their weapons, shake hands and make peace. Let's rest here for the night. Tomorrow morning

If we set off again, I believe Mr. Hou will not stop me from waiting!"

The faces of Chen Yuhe and Chen Yuhe were still a little ugly, but after all, it was Zhao Qingxue who spoke. Their eyes flickered a few times, and they put away their weapons. However, they looked at Hou Yucheng in the eyes, which was obviously still a little unkind.

When Hou Yucheng saw this, he waved his hand behind him. The warriors of the Hou Mansion immediately put away their weapons. The five hundred Zhaoyang Iron Guards with crossbows also put their crossbows into their sleeves. The cold light of the night

A large area disappeared in an instant.

"It's late at night, so I won't be accompanying you today. I've already made arrangements for meals and sex. Hou Fei, please lead all the seniors there!"
