The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

"Lao Hua, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Mr. Lan didn't beat around the bush and told the head of the Hua family everything.

"Old Lan, are you saying that City Lord Li is going to rebel against the Central Imperial City? Where did you get this news? This matter cannot be said carelessly," said the head of the Hua family, frowning and thinking for a while, "But if City Lord Li really dares to do this, maybe he has made some preparations. The Central Imperial City of Dakang has ruled us for so many years, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to change the situation for him, right?"

"Master Hua, what you said is not right. You don't really think that Anton City can resist the Central Imperial City alone, do you?"

The head of the Hua family turned his head to look at Zeng Wenyu who was speaking. There was some confusion in his eyes, and he didn't know what Zeng Wenyu's identity was.

"This is my son-in-law."

Hearing that it was Master Lan's son-in-law, Patriarch Hua did not blame Zeng Wenyu for suddenly interrupting. He looked at Zeng Wenyu and asked, "What do you think?"

"I don't dare to take credit for your opinion. I just want to remind Patriarch Hua that after the founding of the Great Kang Dynasty, there were people who wanted to rebel and seek independence, but what was the outcome? The Central Imperial City always puts an end to rebellions with lightning speed. Do you really think that Andong City can survive under the Central Imperial City's lightning speed? Or do you think those who participated in the rebellion can escape the pursuit of the Central Imperial City?"

The head of the Hua family thought for a while. He also knew the methods used by the Central Imperial City to deal with rebellions. However, after all, so many years had passed since the Great Kang Dynasty. People in various places were saying that the Central Dynasty was no longer viable. The reason why he dared to say something like "change the situation" was because the Central Imperial City had not issued any orders to the outside world for many years. All places believed that something had gone wrong with the Central Imperial City.

"The current Central Imperial City is not the same as before. The one sitting on the dragon throne is an eight-year-old child. Do you know what an eight-year-old child is? The royal family has no one left, so they can only let an eight-year-old child sit on the dragon throne. Moreover, he has no cultivation. Even the ministers of the Central Imperial City have begun to seek personal gain. Can't we do the same?"

"But Master Hua, have you ever thought about why the Central Imperial City can allow an eight-year-old child to sit on the throne with peace of mind? Isn't it because they have nothing to fear? Moreover, over the years, have you ever heard of any news of anyone who could establish the throne in the Central Imperial City getting into trouble?"

"Boy, we have indeed not heard of any news of the death of any cultivator in the Central Imperial City, but we have not heard of the news of the Kangguo Patriarch for a long time. With him, Kangguo is Kangguo. Without him, this Kangguo could be Liguo, Languo, or my Huaguo."

"Master Hua is right. There is no news about the ancestor of Kangguo, but don't Liangguo and Xinguo know this news? Why don't they launch a large-scale attack? Have you ever thought about this question?"

"Boy, it's too late to say anything now. My Hua family has long been tied to the same rope with City Lord Li. All the members of the Hua family have already surrendered to City Lord Li. Even if we fail, no one of us can escape!"

After Patriarch Hua said this, Lan Shuang suddenly stood up and looked at Patriarch Hua: "So, Sister Hua is also involved in this matter?"

"You mean Wu Yue? She doesn't know about this. She has already gone to Shubian City a long time ago..."

"Master Hua, even if you don't consider your own family, don't you consider General Hua Wu Yue?"

"Consider? Shouldn't Wu Yue consider the family more? If she can bring the Third Army from the Border City here, our chances of success will be greater."

Hearing what Master Hua said, Zeng Wenyu felt that it was a little too early for him to say that he could definitely persuade Master Hua. But it didn't matter. Since he couldn't convince Master Hua, Zeng Wenyu quietly got behind him and knocked him out in front of everyone's surprised gaze.

Seeing Zeng Wenyu so decisive, Master Lan's face twitched: "If I didn't agree just now, you wouldn't have done the same to me, right?"

"How could that be? You are my father-in-law. How could I be so harsh to you?"

"But Wenyu, Uncle Hua is also your father-in-law..."

"What?!" Lan Shuang didn't react for a moment. Her subconscious words made Master Lan's eyes widen and he exclaimed, "You are having an affair with Niece Hua?!"

"Dad! Please don't say such harsh words. My daughter and Sister Hua... and Sister Hua..."

"Sister Hua? Are you talking about Hua Nongyu?" Master Lan's face turned pale. "Boy, you'd better explain it to me later, otherwise I will do my best to get you!"

Seeing Master Lan's expression, Zeng Wenyu felt like he might be doomed, but he wasn't that scared. After all, he and Lan Shuang were already a fact, and Master Lan couldn't really let his daughter be a widow, right? And Lan Shuang was on his side, so Master Lan was just threatening him at most. If he really wanted him to do it, Lan Shuang would be the first to jump out and oppose.

"Father-in-law, calm down. Let's get through this crisis first. I will accept whatever you want to do to me later."

"Humph!"

Seeing that Master Lan was not looking at him well, Zeng Wenyu could only turn around and look at Lan Shuang: "Xiao Shuang, is there any place in the Lan Mansion where we can arrange for Patriarch Hua? We must not let Patriarch Hua show up before we act tonight. Of course, it would be best if we could get the people in charge of the Hua family..."

"piece of cake."

After saying this, Lan Shuang ran out of the study, leaving only Master Lan, Zeng Wenyu, Zhang Qing and the unconscious head of the Hua family in the study.

"Boy, the girl next to you..."

"Yes, she is also one of my confidantes."

"Get out! Get out of the study for me! Wait a minute, put Lao Hua down! I'll put him in the secret room of the study, get out now!"

"Okay, father-in-law!"

After saying this, while Master Lan was still talking, Zeng Wenyu pulled Zhang Qing out of the study. As soon as the two of them ran out of the study and closed the door, Zeng Wenyu heard the sound of something hitting the door.

"Phew, luckily I ran fast. I didn't expect my father-in-law to have such a bad temper."

"Hahaha, it's not bad, it's just that Uncle Lan is a businessman. If you were in Zhengxi City, you would see how my father and Xiaoqi's father treated you. They might have already started fighting as soon as you entered the house."

"No way? I am their son-in-law after all..."

"Son-in-law? The son-in-law led the imperial army to force us to retreat? The son-in-law burned Zhengxi City to that state? You don't know the expressions on my father and Xiaoqi's father's faces after they returned to Zhengxi City and counted the losses. They wanted to kill you on the spot."
