"Xiu'er, if it weren't for you and Jiajia singing the same tune, it would have been difficult for our Hua family to win in today's five-on-five match."
Qian Hua sighed.
After saying that, he looked at Hua Duxiu expectantly.
Hua Duxiu waved his hand , " Don't try to drag me down with this, okay?"
"This time Jiajia plotted against me and made me sweat a lot, and I haven't dealt with him yet. What, do you still want me to go out and fight with others?"
Hua Qian choked and said with a wry smile , " How could that be possible? All fathers hope for the best for their children. Who would encourage their children to go out and fight?"
"But my Xiu'er is very smart. I want to talk to you about what happened today."
Hua Duxiu washed his hands and said , " Smart is smart, but forget about being the best!"
Hua Duxiu said this, glancing at Hua Qian's head with his slender phoenix eyes.
Before getting up and going out every day, Hua Qian would always look in front of the mirror, carefully lift up the remaining strand of hair, push it to the other side, trying to cover her shiny forehead, and then smooth it out with water.
There is no way. The localities support the central government, and the countryside surrounds the cities. Even if you are as handsome as spending money, you still have to endure the trouble of hair loss.
Qian Hua smiled and said , " Haha, my father is old now."
"This isn't hereditary, right? Don't scare me." Hua Duxiu said vigilantly.
"No, no."
Hua Qian subconsciously used both hands to hold up the few strands of hair on his head and said in a deep voice:
"This time, my father went to Shushen County to meet Princess Huang, and the conversation went smoothly. But Princess Huang gave me a piece of advice, telling me to be careful of Princess Shangguan of our Yanyu County."
Hua Duxiu asked , " Huang Botao? What did he say?"
Hua Qian said , " Princess Huang said that Princess Shangguan was ruthless and ambitious. She wanted to become the governor of Trapped Demon Valley this year, but the Prime Minister of the Empire transferred a new governor from another realm, and Princess Shangguan's plan failed."
Hua Duxiu asked , " What does this have to do with us?"
Qian Hua said , " Have you ever wondered who was behind the screen in the City Lord's Mansion today?"
Hua Duxiu asked , " Who is it?"
Hua Qian guessed , " His status is higher than that of Lord Li, and he must be a government official. He must be an envoy sent by Princess Shangguan."
Hua Duxiu said , " It could also be Princess Shangguan herself."
Hua Qian shook his head , " As the Lord of a county, he governs more than a dozen cities in Yanyu County and hundreds of miles of land. He has to deal with a lot of things every day! Besides, if he comes to Shenquan City, where will Lord Li have a place to sit?"
Hua Duxiu snorted , " These officials are just too picky."
Qian Hua asked , " Xiu'er, you have always been very good at foresight and anticipate the enemy's moves. Why don't you analyze for me whether there will be any problems with the tax collection this year?"
"You've already guessed it, do you still need me to analyze it?"
Qian Hua smiled and said , " I just want to ask you for confirmation. Without Xiu'er's confirmation, Dad will feel uneasy."
Hua Duxiu thought for a moment and said softly , " First, the tax collection in Yanyu County is basically out of our hands."
Hua Qian was stunned , " What? No, no hope?"
"That's right."
Qian Hua was puzzled , " Today we defeated the Shenwei Escort Agency, and Shenquan City is one of the largest cities in Yanyu County. If we take over Shenquan City, there should be no problem with the escort contract in this county, right?"
"What's more, the big man behind the screen made two gestures, clearly leaning towards our Hua family."
Hua Duxiu nodded and said , " The more this is the case, the more we should not be blindly optimistic."
"Without the approval of Lord Li, Shenwei Escort Agency would not be able to settle in Shenquan City. Without the tacit approval of the princess, Heqimen would not dare to extend its tentacles into Yanyu County. Didn't you say that Princess Shangguan Jie is a ruthless person, and such people have a strong desire for control."
After spending some money, he thought about it and his brows gradually furrowed.
"It is just as Xiu'er said. The smoother things are, the less optimistic we should be."
Hua Qian analyzed , " Princess Huang has always been kind and generous to the people, and she has no good feelings towards hard-line figures like Princess Shangguan. Princess Huang has been in charge of Yanyu County for five years, and our Hua family has monopolized the Yanyu County escort business for five years. Princess Huang was transferred to Shushen County, and our Hua family also followed her into Shushen County. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that our Hua family is deeply trusted by Princess Huang."
Hua Duxiu said , " To attack an enemy, we always start from the outside. Cut off the tentacles first, then attack the main body. So I say, we are afraid that we will lose the escort contract of this county."
Spend money pacing back and forth, thinking about how to crack it.
Hua Duxiu said , " Dad, don't think about it. Just let it go. If he can't get it, then he can't get it. It doesn't matter."
Hua Qian said , " This is not just a matter of a business deal. Whether or not we make money is secondary. This is about the reputation and prestige of our escort agency in Yanyu County."
Hua Duxiu laughed and said , " What reputation, prestige, false name, they are all false names, just floating clouds. Take it easy."
"Besides, our family's reputation and prestige have been almost destroyed, right?"
Spend money and smile bitterly.
Hey, you think you are taking it easy. Dad has to take care of the hundreds of people in the escort agency.
Can you take it easy?
Qian Hua asked , " Today, the entire Shenwei Escort Agency was teased by us and was completely beaten to a pulp. We are letting out a huge sigh of relief, but I'm afraid they will take crazy revenge, right?"
Hua Duxiu thought for a moment and said , " On the contrary."
"Oh?" Qian Hua was puzzled.
"Now it's not just a dispute between our Hua family and the Shenwei Escort Agency. As you said, Princess Shangguan doesn't like Princess Huang, and she hates the new governor. I'm afraid she's going to cause trouble."
"Besides, Shenwei Escort Agency suffered a setback today, so it's not their turn to make trouble for the time being."
Qian Hua frowned and said , " You mean, we should look at our situation from a top-down perspective?"
Hua Duxiu nodded and said , " We are all chess pieces."
“It is meaningless to fight for temporary interests. Only when you transcend the boundaries and become so powerful that no chess player dares to attack you, can you escape the fate of being a chess piece.”
Hua Qian was surprised: It turns out that Xiu'er has such a broad mind, no wonder she has no interest in the family business.
How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?
Qian Hua excitedly asked , " Xiu'er, do you want to be a chess player? Do you want to control other people's fate?"
Hua Duxiu shook his head , " I don't want anything. I just want to be a handsome man with no worries about food and clothing."
"But if there is someone who doesn't want me to have a good life, I will tear his sky apart!"
Hua Duxiu's voice was not loud, but his aura was overwhelming and he nodded his head in approval.
This is the son I spend money on, mighty and domineering!
As long as Xiu'er is willing to take it seriously, I have the confidence to spend money in this competition!
But after spending money he immediately sighed again.
"You have practiced the magic flow very well, but if you don't cultivate your internal strength, you will eventually have weaknesses."
Hua Duxiu also sighed , " Yeah, I was so tired from jumping around with that old man today that I was sweating all over."
Qian Hua nodded , " How about Daddy send you back to Mo Liu Mansion and you continue your studies for a few more years?"
"Don't worry, our Hua family has been on good terms with the Demonic Flow House for generations, and we send a lot of offerings every year. The Lord of the House will not mind your mischief and will definitely be willing to accept you back."
Hua Duxiu said angrily , " What do you mean by naughty? Expelling me from the list will be a loss for the Demonic Flow House!"
"Okay, okay, Dad knows. For someone like me, Xiu'er, who is both talented and beautiful, and extremely intelligent, you should naturally learn the best Kung Fu in the world. You have already reached the perfect state of 'Devil Flow Chi Fenghen'. As for the internal Kung Fu, your father will arrange it in advance and find you the best school in the world!"
Hua Duxiu remained silent.
Internal strength is not as easy to practice as physical skills.
It depends on long-term persistence.
His special ability, Hua Duxiu's eyes that can move in slow motion, plays a minimal role in his internal strength training.
After a short silence, Hua Qian asked again , " You...you are not a child anymore, when are you going to get married? Don't worry, Dad will never force you. If you don't like it, Dad will reject it. If you like it, Dad will help you get it even if he has to spend all his money!"
"Hey, you're the only one in our family for nine generations. Dad is scared!"
Hua Duxiu looked at Hua Qian awkwardly.
What are you afraid of?
Are you afraid that I, Hua Duxiu, will die young and cut off the Hua family bloodline?
Please stop joking. I, Hua Duxiu, am going to live to be a hundred years old.
Hua Duxiu said , " Xiu'er only has Qingyue in his heart."
Qian Hua sighed softly , " Qingyue is a good child, but it's a pity... Never mind, I won't say any more."
Without mentioning feelings, Hua Duxiu was thinking about his inner strength. The more he thought about it, the uglier he felt.
After all, in order to put on a show today, he actually fought with the elder of Heqimen for half an hour.
A body full of sweet sweat.
Panting.
The root cause is insufficient internal strength.
By the end of the fight, even though I was just acting, it was really tiring!
What's even more terrifying is that he can't reach the level of "releasing internal force", so his weapon cannot be strengthened.
The peach wood sword could not be strengthened by internal force, so not only could it not collide with steel weapons, he would not dare to take the risk of confronting an unarmed master head-on.
The peach wood sword that Shen Qingyue left him must not be damaged by anyone.
this is a problem.
A problem that must be solved.
Hua Duxiu asked , " Dad, in this vast world, which family has the best internal skills?"
Qian Hua's eyes lit up and he said , " Of course... it's Mobei Ji Zong!"
Hua Duxiu frowned , " Mobei?"Hua Qian happily said , " Yes, yes, do you want to learn? If you do, Dad will send someone over to give you a gift. No matter how much money you spend, Dad will definitely break down their door!""Dad, could you please not be so vulgar?"Hua Duxiu was speechless. What does it mean to throw money at it?Is this a blatant bribe?Can't you be a little more elegant?For example, giving some calligraphy and paintings, some antiques, or some magical weapons as gifts without leaving any trace?This will make people happy to receive.If you just spend money directly, won’t they have any face?Are you willing to take it?They are all people of status and position, so they should do things in a subtle and silent way.Look at Miss Yaoyao, what did she give as a gift? When she opened the box in broad daylight, no one would think it was vulgar, but would praise her for her thoughtfulness and ta
Qian Hua laughed and said , " What descendants of the demon race? Those are only in novels. How can they exist in reality?"Hua Duxiu picked up the orange juice and took a sip , " It's boring!"Hua Qian said , " Haven't you always wanted to know what your father wears around his neck since you were a child?"Hua Qian said this and gently took off the pendant hanging around her neck.Hua Duxiu was stunned, took the pendant, and looked at it carefully over and over again.A flat golden ball.Ever since Hua Duxiu could remember, Hua Xin almost never took it off, and even though he had doted on Hua Duxiu since she was a child, he would not allow Hua Duxiu to touch it.Over time, Hua Duxiu lost interest in the pendant and even forgot its existence."The secret of our Hua family's eyes is hidden in it. Not only that, it has been passed down from generation to generation. It is said that it also records the secret of the devil from a t
Hua Qian said and gave Hua Duxiu a thumbs up.Where is the anger on your face?Hua Duxiu smiled and said , " Dad, we should stop complimenting each other."Qian Qian smiled heartily and everyone sat down.Shen Lijia rolled her eyes and said softly , " Brother-in-law, I have prepared a plan for the competition in Yanyu County. Now that we have decided directly, wouldn't we have no chance?"Hua Duxiu said , " If you don't have it, just don't have it. You're always a scheming person. It's not good."Shen Lijia scratched his head and thought to himself: Isn't this what you asked me to plan?Qian Hua asked , " Just let this go? It's so unfair to us. Should I go to the City Lord's Mansion, or even go to the Princess' Mansion to make a scene?"Hua Duxiu thought about it, shook his head and said , " Forget it, why put on that show? When Master Wang returns today, he will report my father's dissatisfaction truthfully."Hua Qian nod
That’s right, the graceful woman sitting next to the eight-immortals table was Peng Yaoyao.The woman that Hua Duxiu rescued by chance.The woman who sent Hua Duxiu a cart full of gifts.Peng Yaoyao turned around and frowned , " Can't you four go out and wait for me?"The leader bowed and said , " Miss, Manager Lu has made special arrangements. No matter where you go, you must not leave the sight of the four of us."Peng Yaoyao sighed , " Uncle Lu also said that Mr. Hua is very skilled in martial arts. Even if the four of you join forces, you may not be able to win, right?"The leading warrior blushed slightly, clasped his fists and said , " Yes.""So, with the Playboy here and in a closed box, how could I be in any danger? The four of you quickly get out and stand guard outside the door, and don't eavesdrop on our conversation!"Peng Yaoyao pretended to be angry, and the leading warrior looked struggling, but finally he sighed
Peng Yaoyao was a little surprised.After the Peng family arrived in Kunmo Valley, their foundation was indeed unstable.Although the environment in Trapped Demon Valley is not as dangerous as that in Snake Valley, its political ecology is more complicated.The Snake Valley would stab you in the face if they have any objections, while the Trapped Demon Valley would trip you up from behind.The water surface is calm, but undercurrents are surging beneath the surface.Peng Yaoyao asked , " What do you mean, Mr. Hua?"Hua Duxiu said , " There are hundreds of cities in the nine counties of Trapped Demon Valley. Government affairs are managed by the mayors and county lords of each city. The governor of a realm should focus on military affairs, right?"Peng Yaoyao nodded.Hua Duxiu said , " Someone wants to take over my escort agency, and they are taking advantage of the opportunity of the tax collection in Shushen County."Peng
Shenquan City is not far from Yanyu County’s capital, Yanyu City, about three hundred miles away.A normal carriage journey would take two days.But for the sake of safety, Qian Hua decided that the cavalry would leave the city at dawn and gallop all the way, so that they could arrive at Yanyu City on the same day and not spend the night outside.Half a day out of the city, the escort team encountered a large group of knights again.Qian Hua was slightly excited: You bastards, I'm going to beat you to death with a stick today!"alert!"Hua Qian shouted loudly, and all the escorts and escort leaders drew their swords and stared at the outer cavalry fiercely.I've been feeling depressed for too long!These damn bastards, with Manager Hua in charge today and several big escort leaders all here, how can we not kill your Shenwei Escort Agency?Come on, do it!Everyone in Hua's Escort Agency was on full alert, but this tim
The huge cavalry of Hua's Escort Agency entered the Demon-Breaking City from the south gate.Flags are flying and morale is high.Hundreds of escorts in uniform military uniforms strode with their heads held high, escorting carriages through the city gate.More than thirty large trucks!They were all loaded carriages, each pulled by two horses, and each carriage was guarded by about three bodyguards.The escorts breathed a sigh of relief: all the experts from Hua's Escort Agency were out there, giving it their all, and even the Heqimen wouldn't dare to act rashly!After entering the Demon-Breaking City, this escort mission was basically 90% completed.All that’s left is to rush to the Governor’s Mansion to take over.The escorts breathed a sigh of relief, but Hua Qian, who was riding on the horse, began to get nervous.Will Shenwei Escort Agency give up this opportunity?impossible.The resentment between the t
Pay a visit and suddenly, a large number of burly men in uniforms and holding wooden sticks poured out from the inns and restaurants on both sides of the street!The men shouted in unison , " The police are investigating a case. Get down, everyone!"These people were originally diners, theatergoers, and travelers staying in the hotel, but just now, they quietly changed into the uniforms of officials.There are a lot of people, probably as many as three or four hundred.Three or four hundred people rushed out of the shops on both sides, shouting in unison , " The police are investigating a case, everyone get down! The police are investigating a case, everyone get down!"These people beat anyone they see, without any hesitation. As long as you don't hold your head and squat, they will immediately hit you with a stick!Almost one fell swoop.He is so fierce, he doesn't look like an official at all, he's simply a bandit!Our officer
