Translator: 549690339
The crisis of the Xu Family had been exposed due to the aggressive and superhuman strength shown by Xu Yan, which made Xu Junhe consider some follow-up matters.
Possible cooperation with the Heavenly Mother Cult to incite a rebellion?
Xu Junhe dismissed the idea, he concluded that a rebellion by the Heavenly Mother Cult cannot succeed because it lacked the right timing, location, and public support.
There was no need for his son to intervene on behalf of others.
The Heavenly Mother Cult was not worthy!
Moreover, the pivotal reason was Xu Junhe’s understanding of his own son.
Xu Yan had an obsession with the martial arts found in storybooks and had now truly mastered it. He would inevitably devote more of his thoughts to the cultivation of martial arts.
The impacts of rebellion would be vast, inevitably giving rise to several hassles which would require Xu Yan to handle. This would delay his cultivation of martial arts, a lifestyle that Xu Yan did not desire.
Consequently, Xu Junhe did not want to see his son get entangled in such messes.
Therefore, for the issues initiated by the struggle for the throne, the source of which was in Jin’an, the capital city, Xu Yan had to make a trip to resolve them once and for all.
Suddenly, a long whistle sounded from the direction of the office of the Commandery Captain of Donghe County.
The Commandery Captain of Donghe County turned his head back abruptly with a rapidly changing complexion. Was the office of the Commandery Captain of Donghe County about to fall?
Kou Ruozhi revealed a smile, bowing towards Xu Junhe and said, “As of today, the office of the Commandery Captain of Donghe County is under my control in the name of the Heavenly Mother Cult, and 1, Kou Ruozhi, am the new Commandery Captain.”
At this moment, the Commandery Captain of Donghe County was astounded, staring at Kou Ruozhi in shock, exclaiming, “You’ve even infiltrated the government office?”
With a wave of his folding fan, Kou Ruozhi scoffed and said, “Oh, you incompetents, only the senile, foolish Emperor Qi would appreciate you. I merely took some initiative.”
Looking down at the Commandery Captain, he continued, “You wanted to trap turtles in a jar, but do you not realize, we have been waiting for this opportunity as well.”
At this moment, a steady stream of footsteps echoed from the streets, as a large group of soldiers began to assemble. Leading them was the Commandery Captain of Donghe County!
“Sir, the rebels have been captured.”
The Commandery Captain bowed to Kou Ruozhi on arrival.
With a gesture, an attendant brought forward an official’s uniform.
It was the uniform of the Commandery Captain of Donghe County.
Kou Ruozhi donned the uniform, took out a thin mask from his pocket, and wore it. And there he stood, looking remarkably like the Commandery Captain of Donghe County.
“Take these rebels, disguised as soldiers from the Heavenly Mother Cult, and lock them all away in the grand prison!”
Kou Ruozhi issued the command.
His voice was almost identical to that of the Commandery Captain.
Thud!
The Commandery Captain, horrified, fell to the ground. He stared at Kou Ruozhi in shock, exclaiming, “You’re impersonating me?”
“Is there a problem with that?”
Kou Ruozhi chuckled.
The soldiers the Commandery Captain had brought were now preparing to disarm and tie up the fallen opposition and escort them away.
“Change our Commandery Captain’s clothes and give him a new face.”
Kou Ruozhi instructed.
One of the experts from the Heavenly Mother Cult stepped forward, stripped off the Commandery Captain’s uniform, changed him into a different set of clothes, and then put a mask on his face.
In a blink of an eye, the Commandery Captain was transformed into the appearance of another expert from the Heavenly Mother Cult.
“Honorary Member Xu, what do you think?”
Kou Ruozhi asked with a hint of pride.
“Impressive!”
Xu Junhe exclaimed.
“Honorary Member Xu, what about our cooperation?”
Kou Ruozhi opened the conversation with a smile.
“Let’s discuss it when you can completely control Donghe County.”
Xu Junhe replied indifferently.
“Well then, Honorary Member Xu, please wait for us!”
Kou Ruozhi strode out.
His gait was almost as identical as that of the Commandery Captain of Donghe County.
He had evidently been secretly imitating the Commandery Captain for quite some time.
The Sky Mother Sect has even infiltrated the prefecture government. This man, Kou Ruozhi, indeed possesses impressive tactics.
“Take them all away and do not disturb Honorary Member Xu!”
Kou Ruozhi gave the order with a wave of his hand.
The prefect’s face turned pale under the control of a Sky Mother Sect expert. Still, he scoffed: “The Sky Mother Sect will never amount to anything, Xu Junhe, you should be cautious!”
“There is no need for the Prefect to be concerned!”
Xu Junhe calmly responded with a salute.
The injured soldiers were all taken away, and the traces of blood on the ground were cleaned up.
By now, the sky was turning bright.
“Dad, should we rebel?”
Xu Yan asked.
He was extremely dissatisfied with Emperor Qi.
“Your maternal grandfather’s family is all in the capital, what would happen to them if we rebel? If we kill Emperor Qi, can we bring the dead back to life?”
Xu Junhe looked at his son and responded calmly.
“What if 1 go to the capital now?”
Xu Yan pondered and found it reasonable. contemporary romance
If news of rebellion reaches the capital, his maternal grandfather’s family would surely be executed.
The journey was far, and he probably wouldn’t make it in time to save them.
“Husband, what should we do now?”
Madam Xu was looking worried.
“Yan’er, tell me the truth about your strength. Can you withstand the Divine Might Army if they attack?”
Xu Junhe asked solemnly.
Only by knowing his son’s strength could he make an accurate judgement and decide how to act next.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yan confidently patted his chest and said, “Even if a hundred thousand troops come to kill me, I can move freely and single-handedly push through their ranks. It won’t be much of a problem!” “Really?”
Xu Junhe asked in amazement.
“Of course!”
Xu Yan lifted his head proudly and said, “Dad, although 1 just started my Martial Arts journey, my strength cannot be measured by ordinary means anymore.”
“That’s good then!”
Xu Junhe was relieved.
His foolish son, luckily enough, had truly practiced such powerful Martial Arts.
After pacing back and forth a few times, Xu Junhe said, “Although Kou Ruozhi now controls the prefecture’s government, taking over Donghe Prefecture is not so easy.”
“The Governor of Donghe is merely a scapegoat. Qi Country intends to eradicate the Sky Mother Sect within Donghe Prefecture.”
“The actions aimed at the Xu Family are just a bait. It’s also an act by the Crown Prince’s faction to achieve merit and consolidate the Crown Prince’s position.”
Xu Junhe, who managed to marry his ex-wife, the daughter of the previous Donghe Governor and current Ministry of Personnel’s Vice Minister, and owns vast wealth, is not an ordinary man.
Now he analyzed the situation and predicted what would happen next.
“Unless unexpected, Donghe’s Commandery Captain, Jiang Pingshan, should act now.
“As for Kou Ruozhi and his men, they’re like turtles in a jar. The real storm is about to come.”
Xu Junhe said seriously, “Yan’er, you must defeat Jiang Pingshan’s army, and demonstrate your godlike strength. Also, after defeating Jiang Pingshan’s army, don’t give Kou Ruozhi and his Sky Mother Sect disciples any opportunities to take advantage of…
“Jiang Pingshan must not die!”
After a pause, Xu Junhe said, “Donghe Prefecture will be under control of the Xu Family. After this war, Emperor Qi in the capital should know what to do.”
“Yan’er, you can go to the capital and show your grandfather some power to intimidate the royal family and the court.”
Xu Yan nodded and said, “Dad, 1 know what to do.”
Then he looked up and asked, “Dad, do you want to be the emperor?”
Xu Junhe was taken aback, then shook his head and smiled, “As a merchant, I am satisfied to control Donghe Prefecture. Being an emperor is too exhausting.”
His son has practised vastly powerful Martial Arts, surpassed the ordinary, so Xu Junhe’s eyes should also be raised a bit higher. What’s so good about being a mortal emperor?
Xu Junhe’s face had a brilliant smile.. Who wouldn’t want to become the legendary person who attain godhood through Martial Arts?
