Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 831 - 365. Breaking the formation, crossing the border

The Baiye Camp is currently the most important place for the Hou Clan. The camp has at least several thousand guards stationed around it, with tens of thousands more guards distributed in the surrounding areas. Hou Wuji thought he had snuck out unnoticed, but in reality, from the moment they left the camp, their every move was already under Hou Yuxiao's watchful eye.

Hou Yuxiao thought, having been confined within Five Elements Heaven for so long, it's understandable that the two children wanted to go out and relax. Although they were inside the three prefectures and unlikely to encounter any danger, Hou Yuxiao still dispatched twenty Yuan Dan Realm White Feather Guards to follow the two from behind.

Therefore, after leaving Baiye Camp, their whereabouts, actions, and even words were all transparently reported to Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yucheng.

When they planned to leave Hexi Prefecture, Hou Yuduan sensed danger and intended for them to return, but it was Hou Yuxiao who made the decision, allowing them to smoothly leave Hexi Prefecture and enter Xingnan Prefecture. The two mischievous boys became even more daring, heading west towards Jianye Prefecture after reaching Jiujun County. At this point, even Hou Yuxiao could no longer stand by.

While the two were asleep, he had Hou Yuling quietly bring them back from the inn to this place. Hou Yuling's current strength is at Xuanyin Realm Peak, so the two naive ones were completely unaware, thus experiencing the bewildering awakening here.

This incident could be regarded as a lesson, teaching them that there are always higher skies and stronger people. Relying on some cultivation achieved over the years, these two brothers have become increasingly bold, and if not guided, trouble is inevitable.

"Your Grandmaster Realm cultivation is indeed real, but unfortunately, your behavior is slow and reckless, lacking any sense of vigilance. Being carried thirty miles in the night without realizing it, yet you imagine joining the military campaign. If you went, the army might have to spare people to take care of you two, so forget about joining the military campaign!"

Upon hearing Hou Yuduan's serious words, the two realized their chance to join the military campaign was gone, feeling unconvinced inside but aware of their shortcomings, unable to argue, so they lowered their heads, remaining silent.

Seeing their dejected appearances, Hou Yuxiao felt a bit softened. Though they were both over twenty years old, they grew up in the secluded world of Five Elements Heaven, essentially just two kids longing for the outside world, desiring to see and experience more, which isn't particularly wrong. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

The crucial point is, the current environment doesn't permit them to roam freely.

Hou Yuxiao pondered for a moment, suddenly his expression lit up. He looked at Hou Yuduan and asked, "Old Fifth, didn't you say that when you returned from Nanping Prefecture, there's a small group of Nanjiang rebels causing trouble there?"

Hou Yuduan nodded, having guessed Hou Yuxiao's thoughts. He replied quietly, "After the implementation of Hexi New Governance, Nanjiang abandoned the term Miao descendants. A small batch of original Si Miao descendants are attempting to restore the Wu Miao order. Since last October, they have been causing disturbance in Nanping Prefecture's five counties and even formed an underground group called Si Miao Union, with roughly three to four thousand people. Leading them is Qing Xuan's cousin Qing Wu, with Xuanyin Realm Peak cultivation, and the core members being the children of the original Si Miao high ranking officials."

Xuanyin Realm Peak cultivation!

Hou Yuxiao gazed at his son and his nephew, having made up his mind.

"Joining the military campaign surely isn't possible, but if you wish to join the Red Flame Army, you must prove your capability. Consider the Nanping Prefecture rebels as a test from me. No matter what method you use, as long as you can resolve the Si Miao Union issue, I will decide to let you join the Red Flame Army, what do you say?"

"Dad, are you serious?"

"Uncle, you aren't tricking us, right?"

The two immediately changed from their prior dejected state to one filled with surprise, looking at Hou Yuxiao with disbelief.

"When have I ever tricked you?"

"It's a deal!"

"A promise must be kept."

After Hou Yuxiao agreed, he said softly, "However, you need to go back to Hexi Prefectural City first. Since you sneaked out this time, your mothers are worried sick. Go back to assure them first, then decide when to go to Nanping Prefecture, as you please!"

Receiving Hou Yuxiao's promise, the two faced him with smiles, showing no resistance to returning home, nodding continuously in agreement.

"San Niang, you send them back."

"Alright, Elder Brother!"

Hou Yuling understood Hou Yuxiao's intention. Though the Nanping rebels are indeed problematic, they aren't figures these two boys can deal with. The suggestion to see their mothers was fake; notifying Zhao Qingxue and Yue Qianfu to prepare in advance was real. As for why their aunt is escorting them, it seemed Hou Yuxiao did not plan for her to stay here, preferring she accompany the two to Nanping Prefecture.

Moreover, she had no troops to command, and the attack on Jianye Prefecture didn't require the Lower Hou Sect, so she had no objections. After agreeing, she took Hou Wuji and Hou Wuqie back to Hexi Prefectural City directly.

New Yu Era 1332, Eighth Day of the Seventh Month

Just past Zishi, the world was silent. Under the night sky, the western region of Jiujun County should originally be pitch black, but currently, it was brilliantly illuminated by flaming lights, akin to daylight.

A sprawling army extended for dozens of miles, with all soldiers facing west, divided into four sections. The front two sections had troops donning red armor, riding impressive war horses; the rear two sections had troops in black armor, also mounted, but their war horses were evidently smaller and less imposing than those at the front.
