He simply assumed Lu Yuan was stunned by the revelation of his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a laugh, Gu Gaoxu clapped Lu Yuan on the shoulder and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lu, there’s no need to be alarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over these past few days, my admiration for you has grown beyond words.

The Liu Family has a senior official in the Court, and their network is complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the Liu Family came after me first. If I don’t strike back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and let out this frustration, I’d just be a coward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No, absolutely not.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I absolutely cannot get involved with Gu Gaoxu.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The guy’s a born troublemaker.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan knew perfectly well what the future held for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the real history of the Great Ming, this second son of King Yan was nothing but trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spent all his days plotting to rebel and become the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And who were his opponents?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was the Great Ming’s Emperor Ren Zong, the other was Emperor Xuanzong.

But to actually punish an Inspector General for their sake...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...that was definitely out of the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Inspector General had his own patrons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, King Yan was King Yan, not King Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meddling in the affairs of another province would inevitably make people suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, even King Lu couldn’t just do whatever he wanted to a Court-appointed official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man worked for His Majesty. If you punished him when he had done nothing wrong...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...what would that look like?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Planning a rebellion?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Yuan’s message was clear: he had no intention of making peace with the Liu Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You started this shit, you bullied me first, so now we’re going to have a proper fight!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You came after me, so I have to go after you. I’m not just going to take this abuse!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This resonated perfectly with Gu Gaoxu’s temperament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was absolutely perfect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was exactly the kind of person Gu Gaoxu respected!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Gaoxu was already well aware of Lu Yuan’s and the Zhao Family’s situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan had been nothing more than a poor Scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ancestor had been a County Magistrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...but that was ages ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he had relied on the Zhao Family to get to where he was today, step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, wasn’t the Zhao Family’s biggest backer that Song Chi fellow—the one he’d whacked on the head with a Mortar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they possibly take down an Inspector General relying on just Song Chi?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was basically a commoner fighting an official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a very powerful official at that. The Inspector General was the second-highest-ranking civil official in the entire province!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they possibly fight someone like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhao Family couldn’t afford that kind of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t matter if the Zhaos practically owned Taiping City. An official that powerful could ruin them with just a few moves from the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, seeing Lu Yuan so utterly confident...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...and remembering the strange things Lu Yuan had built, not to mention his personal fighting prowess...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...all of it made Gu Gaoxu feel that the man before him was far from ordinary. He was formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he, Gu Gaoxu, would never have lowered himself to call Lu Yuan \"Brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snapping out of it, Gu Gaoxu’s interest was piqued. He asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then how do you plan to take him down?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan considered this for a moment before finally replying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have my methods, of course. If you wish to see, Second Son, you need only follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Now that I know who Gu Gaoxu is, there’s no way I can hide my next move from him.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And it’s not like I can just send him away.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In that case, I might as well let him tag along.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Gu Gaoxu heard Lu Yuan was finally willing to let him come along, he grew excited and said quickly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellent! So, we’re leaving now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the Qiaoyan Manufacturing Factory on the east side of the city, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though a hundred voices in his head screamed \"no,\" Lu Yuan could only nod in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as Gu Gaoxu was about to leave with Lu Yuan, he seemed to remember something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to one of his Attendants, raised an eyebrow, and ordered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, go to the Government Office and drag that old bastard out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tell him to hurry up and dispatch all the Officials!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he dares to delay any longer, I’ll come back and burn his Government Office to the ground!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Attendant bowed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your subordinate obeys!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1125,"2026-05-30T14:11:52.988Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.829Z",1,"novelbin.me","bce694fd5a2c7ff73625f3b7cbde55a96a1b57df0fb7da9ea1a18816968680b5","marrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-chapter-162","marrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-chapter-114",258,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-cover.jpg"]
