Chapter 21 The highlights are all in the future

"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!"
