Chapter 143 Offensive and Defensive Alliance

"This is Xue Jun. I have met Mr. Hou." Seeing that he had been recognized, Xue Jun had no choice but to step forward and say. The Hou Yubai in front of him is from the Hou family, the fifth-grade Zhenwu family, the largest family in Yunzhou.

He didn't dare to offend him.

"My name is Tian Meng." Tian Meng hugged his hands and said carelessly, but he didn't show any respect.

"Haha, then this must be Young Master Qin, the representative of the Qin family." Hou Yubai smiled slightly, but he looked kind and gentle, making it impossible for people to feel bad about him.

"I'm Qin Fan." Qin Fan had no choice but to say his name, and then he glanced at the group of people behind Hou Yubai, and found Wu Feng among them, who was looking at him with a sinister look.

Looking at himself, it seemed that he still held a grudge against him for injuring him a few days ago.

"Could it be that Wu Feng's backer is Hou Yubai?" At the same time, Qin Fan also felt more vigilant in his heart, secretly thinking that he had to beware of being plotted by them.

"Haha, everyone has come to Yuancheng after a long journey, and we are all tired. I have already booked the entire Chaoyang Building just to receive you. Everyone, please go in and sit down first, so as not to be seen by these people.

It's a joke." Hou Yubai said again at this time, and then led the way into Chaoyang Tower.

Xue Jun and Qin Fan looked at each other and followed them into Chaoyang Tower.

On the way, Peng Wei, a young man with thick eyebrows, passed by a few people and said in a low voice: "It turns out that we are just from a ninth-grade Zhenwu family, and you dare to pretend to be in front of this young master. Hum, that's very good..."

The threat of revenge in the words is obvious.

Qin Fan glanced at him indifferently and ignored him, but he thought coldly in his heart: "Peng Wei, thirty years east of Hedong and thirty years west of Hexi. I wonder if your seventh-grade Zhenwu family can survive this pilgrimage.

Keep it?" Judging from his just contact with Peng Wei, this person's strength is actually not that big among pilgrims. If he can't keep it this time, then the Peng family in Yucheng will be reduced to the eighth level.

Even ninth grade.

"Hmph, let's wait and see." Seeing Qin Fan ignoring him, Peng Wei snorted coldly and chased after Hou Yubai to flatter him.

"Xiao Fan, be patient. If you meet this person in the pilgrimage trial, you won't argue with him again." At this time, Xue Jun came up and comforted him softly.

"I tell you, when he leaves Yuancheng, let's just shoot him to death." Tian Meng said loudly. It was obvious that he disliked people like Lu Yu, Peng Wei and others.

"Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter. Anyway, it wasn't me who suffered a loss just now. Haha, I lost face this time. I think it's the people like Yucheng and Zhucheng who should be worried." Qin Fan spread his hands and said with a relaxed smile.

In my heart, I was a little touched by the concern for Xue Jun and Tian Meng. These two people knew that the other party's family was of high rank, but they still stood firmly on their side. They were friends worth making.

"Hehe, yes, I think these people are still worried about how to deal with us. There is no need for us to deal with them. When the time comes, we will kill one of them, and we will kill the pair of two." Tian Meng also smiled.

said.

Entering the Chaoyang Building, I found that the first floor of Yuancheng really lived up to its reputation. The decoration was extremely gorgeous and elegant. The maids who came and went were all young and beautiful, and their behavior was extremely decent. The whole Chaoyang Building looked very grand.

Because of the large number of people, only the halls on the first and second floors can accommodate so many people. The first floor is mainly used to welcome guests, so all the pilgrims gathered in the hall on the second floor. However, the Chaoyang Building is very big. It doesn't even seem crowded when people are sitting down.

Pilgrims from all over Yunzhou gathered together. Qin Fan took the opportunity to make a rough count and found that there were nearly two hundred people. There were eight major sub-states in the entire Daqian Kingdom, plus Qianjing and the nearby Luocheng Wangcheng. Zhongzhou is composed of three super cities, and there are nine states in total. So wouldn’t the number of pilgrims this time reach several thousand?

This result made Qin Fan secretly stunned. The competition this time can be imagined.

Qin Fan and the other three found a table to the side and sat down. Looking out from here, they could still see half of Yuancheng's scenery. The breeze in the evening was blowing by, which was extremely refreshing. I have to say that the food and wine in Chaoyang Tower were great. It was very nice. The few of them were enjoying the evening view of Yuancheng while drinking, and their mood quickly improved.

"Everyone!" After three drinks, they saw Hou Yubai standing up on the most luxurious table in the middle, holding a glass of wine, saluting all around, and then said: "I believe you all know what happened this time. The pilgrimage trial is more competitive than before. Hou Mou informs you that you are here because he wants all the Zhenwu families in Yunzhou to unite as one, so that we can have more opportunities in the pilgrimage. If everyone is scattered, When the time comes to be isolated and helpless during the pilgrimage, wouldn't it be possible for the Zhenwu families from other states to defeat them one by one?"

"Then how does Mr. Hou think we can unite as one?" Someone asked loudly at this time, but he seemed to be very cooperative, probably because he had already made an appointment.

"Haha, Hou Mou has a suggestion, that is, all the Zhenwu families in Yunzhou form an offensive and defensive alliance, and each person puts a mark on his clothes. When the time comes, when encountering each other in the pilgrimage trial, they will not attack each other, will not abandon each other, and will be consistent. Externally." Hou Yubai continued: "I just don't know what everyone thinks?"

"Yes, this is a good method!"

"Okay, Master Hou said it well, I think this idea will work!"

"That's right, this way our chances of guaranteeing the quality will be much greater."

"We are all led by Master Hou, and we all obey Master Hou."

As soon as Hou Yubai's words came out, he immediately won the support of many disciples. In fact, everyone was unsure about this pilgrimage. If an offensive and defensive alliance could really be formed, it would really increase everyone's confidence.

"Okay, in that case, after everyone has had this drink, we are all one of our own." Seeing everyone's response, Hou Yubai couldn't help but feel a little proud of the spring breeze. He toasted to everyone around him and drank it all in one gulp.

"Haha, one of our own?" Qin Fan didn't like Hou Yubai's words. Even if an alliance was formed, how many people would really be able to abide by the agreement not to attack each other in front of their own interests? And in front of a powerful enemy. , can we really not abandon each other?

However, if an offensive and defensive alliance is formed, it does not mean that it is completely useless. At least when the two sides are evenly matched, they can still unite together, and the safety factor is still much greater.

"Hey, people have to be polite when toasting." Xue Jun saw that Tian Meng was still eating so much, he quickly touched him with his elbow and signaled him not to be rude, otherwise people would misunderstand that they were not sincere. alright.

"Yeah, cheers, my friend!" Tian Meng took a bite of the chicken leg and shouted perfunctorily while raising his wine glass, which made people laugh.

But at this moment, after Hou Yubai clinked glasses with several disciples of the sixth-grade Zhenwu family, with a gentle smile on his face, he led a group of people to Qin Fan's table.
