The four prefectures of Jianye, Xingnan, Zhaoyang and Nanping have been merged into Hexi Road, and the Daocheng District was naturally set in the original Zhaoyang Prefecture City where the Hou family is located. The prefecture city was renamed Hexi Daocheng a month ago.

The name of the city needs to be changed from a city to a city. Of course, it is not just the name. According to the old system set by the original Dayu, the county town is twenty miles, the county town is fifty miles, and the palace town is hundred miles, and the road city is more than one hundred miles. As for the most advanced state town, it is two hundred miles to go up.

Interestingly, today's Hexidao City was actually just Tongling County City at the beginning.

As the Hou family's strength grew, Tongling County City also rose all the way. It was first changed to Zhaoyang County City, and then changed to Hexi Prefecture City. Last month, after the Hou family took over Jianye Prefecture, the original Hexi Prefecture was also renamed Zhaoyang Prefecture, and the four prefectures merged into Hexi Road, which was named Hexi Road City by the Hou family.

Although the withdrawal of the prefecture in Hexi means that there is no expansion in the area, it is still inevitable that a large number of warriors and people will influx in the entire road, and a new round of expansion has begun. In fact, in the previous rounds of urban changes, the Hou family did not deliberately spend time to transform. After all, at the rate of development of the Hou family, the status of the city may be rising again, and if it changes again, it will be troublesome.

But this time, it's different.

Hexi Daocheng, in Hou Yuxiao's foreseeable future, will not change any more for many years. After all, if you move up, it will be the city.

The Lord of a State!

Hou Yuxiao had this ambition, but he still knew in his heart that the difference between Hou's true desire to reach this level is not a small part of it.

The just-destroying Leiyin Temple is a good example!

Buddha Shi Tian was in charge, with the three world-renowned masters, more than ten powerful masters, Yin-Yang Holy Realm, Yuandan Realm, and Grandmaster Realm, with five million troops. This was the power retained by Leiyin Temple after the army mobilized from Jizhou to move south, which was stronger than the Hou family. That was not a little bit.

Even so, so what?

Didn’t he be killed by the alliance between the Great Jin and the four holy lands?

The lord of a state means a new holy land. No matter who it is, to reach this level, it means that you have to share the rights of the nine holy lands in China today. There is no right time or enough strength. If you have a little idea, you may even take practical actions.

I'm afraid the next thing I face is a catastrophe.

On the one hand, he knew that it would be difficult for Hexi to continue moving upwards. On the other hand, in order to dispel the concerns in the hearts of the major holy places, the Hou Cabinet unanimously decided that this time, the Hexi Daocheng would be expanded according to the specifications of the other states.

This way, the project volume will be very large.

The original Tongling County City was only fifty miles away, but now it will be expanded to 150 miles at once, which is three times more than three times. According to Hou Yuduan's estimate, even if all the warriors are involved, the construction period will be at least half a year, and the manpower, material and financial resources are consumed. At first, he was preparing to propose a cabinet, and he was worried that someone would object.

Of course, according to the current regulations of the Hou family's cabinet, any proposal can be passed as long as the five of them agree. However, the Hou family is not as good as before. Not to mention Hongju, the newly entered martial arts sub-saint, Bai Yunfan, Nie Xinchuan, Liu Jianghong, Yue Wenzhu, and many people who followed the Hou family and were loyal to the family must take care of any proposal. So as of now, as long as it is not a principled resolution, Hou Yuxiao and the other people still value the opinions of others.

Unexpectedly, the cabinet passed the unanimous vote.

Hou Yuxiao thought about it carefully and actually it was reasonable for everyone to agree to expand Daocheng. With the current status of the Hou family, it is time for these elderly people who have followed the family to get corresponding status and benefits.

The reconstruction of Daocheng is not only related to the face of the Hou family, but also involves the interests of the people below the Hou family. Hexi Fucheng has been the base camp of the Hou family for the past ten years. Almost all the high-level officials of the Hou family have settled here, and their industries are everywhere in the city. Once the Fucheng is upgraded to Daocheng, they are the biggest vested interests besides the Hou family. Not only that, their status will also rise with the transcendent status of Hexi Daocheng in the four prefectures.

With such a premise, they naturally agree with the proposal.

Everyone agreed, and Hou Yuduan quickly came up with a plan. As early as a month and a half ago, Hexi Daocheng began a massive expansion project.

In the air, Hou Yuxiao watched the entire city wall extending more than ten miles, and the supporting buildings and streets inside were also being constructed simultaneously. The warriors either carried giant trees on their shoulders or held cast iron in their hands, and were busy and enjoying themselves. The expansion progress of the entire city was almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's only been a month and a half, and it's almost a quarter of it?"

Hou Yuduan, who was following him, chuckled and said, "I forgot that my elder brother has been in seclusion. I haven't told you that in addition to using warriors in the clan this time, we have also recruited other casual cultivators from the four prefectures of Hexi. In addition to giving a certain degree of remuneration, we also gave them household registration in the newly built urban area. As long as those who participate in the expansion project have the right to settle in Daocheng first. With this policy, nearly 100,000 warriors have come here in just over a month, and they are playing the rise every day. According to my prediction, the project originally expected to be shortened to five months."

Priority to settle down, Hou Yuxiao felt a sense of absurdity when he thought of these four words, but thinking about it was that, after all, the difference between this warrior and the people was just martial arts. The rest were similar, and most of the desires were the same.

However, the key is that Lao Wu can come up with this idea.

Hou Yuxiao just glanced at the expansion of Dao City and soon flew back to the center of the city where the Hou family was located.

When Daocheng is expanded, the Hou family naturally needs to expand together.

Today, the Hou family, the five of them alone have almost tens of thousands of people. This has not been counted as serving on duty in the clan for a long time and guarding the clan. All of these have to be at least 200,000 people, and equipped war horses. So many people, the Hou family's house like before, naturally cannot be able to hold on.

So two months ago, when the expansion of Daocheng began, Hou Yuduan had already expanded the entire Hou family in advance. Now the Hou Mansion covers an area of ​​more than ten miles and has hundreds of palaces built. It is actually inappropriate to use the word "未". It may be more appropriate to use the royal palace.

There is indeed a sound outside the world calling Hou Yuxiao the King of Hexi, but this sound is only heard at most. It is too early to be the king of the Chinese state in a dignified way.

No matter how the Hou Mansion changes, the core main body is still five palaces, just like the places where the five brothers and sisters lived before, and they are still furnished in order of southeast, west, north, and middle.

Among them, the four seats in the southeast, west and north are the Handao Palace, the second one, the fourth one’s Xueyang Palace, the fifth one’s Yaxiang Palace, and the Sanniang’s Hehuan Palace.

The center is the main hall of the Hou family. In addition to taking on the functions of the family's meeting place, it is also the residence where Hou Yuxiao practices and retreats on weekdays. Hou Yuduan specially named it Zhaoyang Palace, which is why Hou's original intention is not forgotten.

"Meet the head of the family!"

Hou Yuxiao and the five of them landed outside the Zhaoyang Palace Gate. Before they could walk in, they felt two powerful auras inside. Hou Yuxiao hurriedly pretended to be in a hurry, and ignored the visits of the guards outside the door and walked in directly.

There were two people sitting on the left and right in the palace. Both of them were middle-aged. The man on the left was wearing a blue-black armor and had a domineering temperament; the man on the right was wearing a white dress, with a thin and handsome face. Although his aura was not obvious, he gave people a feeling of sharpness out of thin air.

Jing Tianyu, Hou Yuxiao has seen it. During the Tongling Rebellion a few years ago, Jing Tianyu had a fight with Huangfu Xing. However, at that time, both of them were in the Crushing Realm power. Now Jing Tianyu has been promoted to the Martial Arts Sub-Saint like Huangfu Xing. Hou Yuxiao remembers Jing Tianyu's strength very clearly. When he was under Huangfu Xing, he should not be too strong now;

It was the first time that Wanyan Cheng met Emperor Yuliang, one of the Three Emperors of the Great Jin Dynasty. If Hou Yuxiao remembered correctly, five years ago, he led his army across Lincang Road and destroyed Dayu, this person was the main driver.

When Hou Yuxiao saw Wanyan Cheng's first glance, he felt a little pressure in his heart. He had been breaking through the Martial Arts Sub-Saint for a short time, but after destroying Leiyin Temple last year, he had been practicing in the Five Elements Heaven in the past two months. At a speed of a hundred times the time, he had been practicing for more than ten years. Now he is not far from the peak of the Martial Arts Sub-Saint, but Wanyan Cheng can still make him feel the pressure.

"Senior Wanyan, Senior Jing, two great masters come here, and Hou is really guilty of being welcomed. It's really a trivial matter. I hope that the two seniors can forgive me."

Wanyan Cheng was originally sitting on the chair, his face was not very good-looking. Seeing Hou Yuxiao's attitude, he immediately looked a little slow. However, before he could speak, Hou Yuxiao had already walked to the main seat of the palace and sat down, looking at him condescendingly.

This scene immediately made his expression condense.

Jing Tianyu's expression on the other end did not change from beginning to end. It was nothing to hear Hou Yuxiao apologize. Seeing Hou Yuxiao sitting in the seat of the emperor and looking down at him, she still looked calm and calm without any discomfort.

The changes in their expressions were naturally seen by Hou Yuxiao.

Obviously, the style of Dajin's behavior was more domineering.

"Two people came from afar, wondering what's going on?"

Hou Yuxiao didn't care about Wanyan Cheng's frown, and asked the two straight to the point.

Jing Tianyu was originally planning to speak, but Wanyan Cheng obviously deliberately snatched him in front of him and sat on the chair and spoke first: "I am here to pass the imperial edict of Emperor Jin, so I will first congratulate the head of the Hou family!"

…………

Hou Yuxiao was stunned, including Hou Yuduan, Hongkui and his son who came in with him, Hou Wuji and Hou Wuqi, all of whom showed confusion.

In the entire palace, Jing Tianyu was still calm.

"Dare you ask Emperor Yuliang, Mr. Hou, He Xizhi?"

Wanyan Cheng was still sitting upright and didn't move. He just took out his right palm, took out a golden scroll, and threw it gently into the air.

The scroll unfolded directly in the air, and then an extremely domineering voice came from it:

"Now there is Princess Changping, who is famous for his character, and is calm and gentle, and has unique talent and knowledge. He should be the example of Princess Saint Jin. He was married in the year and was not allowed to miss his youth. He heard that Hou Yujie, the fourth son of the Hou family of Hexi, had both martial ethics and had both talent and reputation. He admired Princess Changping for a long time and wanted to be a wife. After the Hou family reported, after the temple was lucky, I personally issued this order to congratulate him."

…………

Hou Yuxiao was stunned for a moment. Although the decree was heard by Wen Zou Zou, he immediately understood that Emperor Yuwen Dong of Jin was going to give the fourth brother a marriage.

The question is, when will the fourth brother admire Princess Changping's gorgeous Fengyi for a long time, and when will the Hou report to him...

Good guy, is this a marriage grant or a forced marriage?

The Hou family members were still confused and didn't react. Jing Tianyu on the other end seemed to be unable to sit still at this time, and stepped forward and chuckled, "This is a coincidence. I am also here to show my bride to the head of the Hou family on behalf of the three Hedong families. I will congratulate the head of the Hou family first."

Hou Yuxiao looked a little deeper and asked in a low voice: "Who dare you ask which three families are there?"

"Bai Lu Academy, Haoran Holy Sect, and my Ten Thousand Swords Holy Sect."

"Who is the one who is interested in my Hou family?"

"It's interesting to say that the relatives I chose this time were the elders of the Huamai of Haoran Holy Sect, Lian Ningxue. Miss Lian came to Hexi a few years ago. According to her, she had met Hou Yucheng, the second brother of the Hou family leader, at that time. We also followed Miss Lian's own wishes for this marriage. The one she chose was Hou Yucheng!"

…………

Hou Yuxiao looked at the imperial edict of Emperor Jin floating in the air, then looked at Jing Tianyu with a smile on his face, his expression gradually faded, and his voice was slightly low and he spoke:

"Depending on what you mean, I, Hou, have to accept these two marriages, right?"

One is the emperor of Jin, and the other is the three Hedong families jointly signed.

If Hou Yuxiao still doesn't understand what the two meant, even if his dealings with these holy places over the years will be in vain, the problem is that he understands it, and even he has been worried about the marriage between the second and fourth brothers, but he really doesn't like the feeling of being forced to agree to it when someone is forced to do so.

What's more, it's also a matter of life for the two younger brothers.

"This is the decree of Emperor Jin, the head of the Hou family, you have to think clearly!"

"Mr. Jing didn't say much, just reminded the head of the Hou family that it is better to be cautious in the face of the three holy places!"

Bang………

Hou Yuxiao slapped the table in front of him and stood up directly, looking at the two of them with a strong anger on his face. He was about to speak, but Hou Yuduan behind him was snatched first.

"You two seniors are a little restless. After all, it is a marriage matter. My second and fourth brothers need to come here to decide in person. It will take two days for them to come back. It is better for you to rest and wait for the two brothers to come and give a reply. How about it?"

Hou Yuxiao and Kong Yining, he could see that Hou Yuduan was trying to smooth things over, but when he thought about it carefully, it was not up to him to decide whether to bully such a thing or not. Not to mention that Princess Changping, Lian Ningxue had met Hou Yucheng many years ago. At that time, the second child seemed to have a good sense of the girl. If it was really interesting, wouldn’t he backfire?

Thinking of this, he did not stop Hou Yuduan from smoothing out the situation.

Wanyan Cheng and Jing Tianyu could see Hou Yuxiao's anger, but the two seemed to be confident. After making up for Hou Yuxiao, they did not dare to refuse. They nodded directly and accepted Hou Yuduan's proposal.

“Okay.”

"They really have to be present for the wedding."

Hou Yuduan smiled slightly and bowed, "Thank you for your understanding!"
