On the ninth day of the ninth month, High Willow City was cleaned up. Lanterns were hung in front of every house. Many children wore new clothes and played on the streets. All the major academies of High Willow City were on holiday. All the restaurants and shops on the streets had put up discount signs.
When the sun had just risen, all the gates of Tall Willow City opened. Hua Kai rode [Luma] in a red wedding dress and walked at the front of the wedding procession. Behind him were 500 Undead Army soldiers.
Behind the Undead Army was a palanquin carried by 16 people. When the children of influential families saw this palanquin, their eyes widened, but they quickly lowered their heads in the end.
This was because the pattern on the palanquin was a special pattern that could only be used by monarchs. In other words, the bride was a monarch, a Foundation Realm cultivator.
In this world, there were only a few female Foundation Realm cultivators. Moreover, everyone knew that the Hua family's bride was the princess of the Yuezhi Country. She was only 20 years old and was not marrying an old monster.
Hua Kai rode on [Luma]. Wukong jumped behind him, jumped on Xiao Qiang's back, and flew into the air, attracting the attention of many people.
Entering from the west gate of Tall Willow City, there were countless people and college students on both sides. When Hua Kai approached, everyone suddenly became silent. After Hua Kai passed by, he saw an old man kneeling down with the help of his family. Everyone around him also knelt down.
Hua Kai slowly walked forward, and the people on both sides of the street all knelt down. Looking at all this, an indescribable feeling rose in Hua Kai's heart.
The commoners knew in their hearts who was truly good to them. They couldn't give Hua Kai any congratulatory gifts for his wedding and couldn't participate in his wedding banquet. They could only express their respect and gratitude for Hua Kai through this method.
The soldiers behind Hua Kai saw tens of thousands of people kneeling on both sides of the street. This shock was even more shocking than being in the middle of an army. After the shock, they felt a deep sense of pride, followed by responsibility.
The representative of the Yuezhi Country followed behind Princess Wurentua's palanquin. They saw the people kneeling on both sides of the street and then looked at Hua Kai riding in front.
Although the Hua family had yet to establish a nation, Hua Kai already had more support from the people than most emperors. Such a family was destined to become stronger and stronger.
They walked all the way to the inner city. All the commoners were unable to enter the inner city today, so there were no commoners kneeling on both sides of the street. However, there were also many representatives of the Hua family's subordinate families, Hua Kai's disciples, and people from various countries who had come to congratulate Hua Kai on his wedding. From the inner city gate to the Hua Manor, there were more than ten thousand guests on both sides of the street.
After entering the inner city, the Undead Army had also left. Hua Kai entered the Hua Manor. Everything was done according to the rules of the Central Plains. He met with the representatives of the various families who had come to congratulate him on his wedding in the main hall. Apart from King Yan, the other allies had basically all arrived. The Hua family held a big banquet in the Hua Manor. The entire Hua Manor was more than 1,000 mu in size and had more than 4,000 rooms. There was a crowd everywhere.
The wedding ceremony was very simple. In the afternoon, Hua Kai had some free time. He went to the residences of the allies and the representatives of the various third-rank and above families who had come to congratulate him. He exchanged his views on the current world situation with them. Taking advantage of Hua Kai's wedding, this was a good opportunity to increase the influence of the Hua family.
Hua Kai told the guests about his analysis in the [Family Dimension]. The Qin Nation was still the most powerful nation in the world, and no one could underestimate them.
If anyone thought that the Qin Nation was finished and wanted to share the fruits of their labor at this time, they would definitely lose miserably.
"Hua Jiazhu, the Lu Nation has been developing rapidly in the past few years. I have borrowed 50,000 elites from the neighboring nations. Together with the 100,000 elites from the Lu Nation and the various families, the western part of the Lu Nation has already established a tight defense line.
Recently, the State of Qi has two great clans of the third rank and more than twenty clans of the sixth rank and above have pledged allegiance to the State of Lu. The State of Lu has gathered more than two thousand Confucian scholars. As long as the State of Qin dares to come to the State of Lu, he will not be able to return. "King Lu said confidently when he met with Hua Kai.
"I know that the Lu Nation has its own trump card, but the Qin Nation's Bai Qi is not that easy to deal with. If there is a need, the Hua family will definitely help. Although the Song Nation has gathered a large number of scholars, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. The Lu Nation should be more prepared," Hua Kai reminded King Lu.
King Lu nodded seriously. The meaning of Hua Kai's words could not be clearer. He did not want him to think about the post-war matters too early. There was still a long time before the war ended. Qin Zheng might not attack again, but the Qin Nation was still their strongest enemy.
The entire wedding lasted for half a month. Hua Kai had a detailed discussion with every aristocratic family that had a good relationship with him. What excited everyone the most was that after the discussion with Hua Kai, the third-rank aristocratic family of the State of Qi, the Luo Clan, was willing to submit to the Hua Clan. There were also more than ten aristocratic families from the State of Qi who had agreed to do the same. The Hua Clan had already reached the level where they could protect a third-rank aristocratic family.
Hua Kai gave the Luo Family the right to build a city in the southeast of Gao Liu City. However, all the land in Gao Liu City belonged to the Hua family. No family had the right to use the land but not the right to trade. This had always been the policy of the Hua family.
On the 25th day of the ninth month, there was less and less news about the war in the Central Plains. The Qin Nation and the various countries in the Central Plains fought over a city every day. Everyone was no longer surprised by this. However, there was no sign of the Qin Nation's defeat that everyone expected. The Qin Nation and more than twenty small and medium-sized countries in the Central Plains fell into a state of anxiety.
After half a month of liveliness, Gao Liu City finally slowly returned to normal. The Azure Dragon Army went to Baoyu Pass. Wuren Tuya's thirty thousand elites were sent to Baoyu Pass. They needed to clear out the grassland wolves as soon as possible. In just two years, the grassland wolves had overflowed. It was very difficult for the ten major tribes to clear them out.
The Undead Army returned to Hua City. Most of them still had not completed their class change. After this trip to the Yuezhi Nation, many of them had great breakthroughs. It was believed that many of them would be able to complete their class change this time.
After many guests left Gao Liu City, they did not return home. They all went to Xia City because Chinese Ink's wedding was set on the 6th of the tenth month. Hua Kai and Wuren Tuya also had to attend.
Time passed like water. The Hua family's position in the Central Plains was slowly recognized by everyone. Especially after Hua Kai and Chinese Ink's wedding, everyone saw the development potential of the Hua family. Until the first snow of winter approached, there were still people of the Central Plains who went to Xia City.
Winter passed and spring came. Hua Kai had been reborn in this world for twenty-four years. Under his leadership, the Hua family had also developed for twelve years. Gao Liu City now had five major cities and more than twenty small and medium-sized cities. The total population of Gao Liu City was close to two million. Their strength was no less than the weakest of the Seven Heroes, Qi.
Opening the family control panel, Hua Kai looked at the family's stats.

The Hua family's strength steadily increased, especially when their Culture exceeded 60,000 points. This caused the Hua family's prestige in the Central Plains to catch up with the seven Rank One countries.
The Hua family's Fate increased by more than 40,000 every day, and only at the beginning of this year did it slowly fall. In half a year, Hua Kai had refined 40,000 or so pieces of [Golden Silk Soft Armor], allowing more than half of the five Corps' soldiers to be protected by the soft armor. The Corps' strength greatly increased, and even 10,000 of the Yuezhi Kingdom's 30,000 Elite Cavalrymen were wearing the [Golden Silk Soft Armor].
Every month, more than 20 people would enter the Journey to the West world. After everyone summed up the effects of the Journey to the West world, they all tried to arrange for people who needed to break through the barrier to enter. This brought more than 30 Postcelestial Realm cultivators to the Hua family. However, the Hua family's sixth Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator still hadn't been born.
There were more and more small cities in the central and eastern parts of Gao Liu Prefecture. Hua Kai asked his Fourth Uncle to follow Gao Liu City's example and build the seven major cities in Xia City and the eastern part of Gao Liu City. The Fourth Uncle, Hua Zihuan, was now in charge of the affairs in the eastern part of Gao Liu City.
Because the Hua family's population was increasing, and the Yuezhi Army's six Armies had close to 100,000 soldiers, the Hua family could no longer provide all the soldiers with pills. Hua Kai mainly used the pills in the Hua family's military academy in Hua City to increase everyone's loyalty.
In the Pegasus Field courtyard, Hua Kai was organizing the revision of the family laws in his study. He was now putting all his energy into revising the family laws.
The Hua family's founding of a country was inevitable, and all the regulations had to be finalized as soon as possible.
According to the laws and regulations of the future in Hua Kai's mind, Hua Kai had already decided on the general principles of Gao Liu Prefecture's management. Under the general principles were the management of the Hua family members, the management of the city, the management of business, the management of aristocratic families, the management of the common people, the management of slaves, and hundreds of other laws and regulations.
These laws and regulations were involved in all aspects of the development of Gao Liu Prefecture. Hua Kai could only set a general direction, and the specific regulations in the future would be discussed and decided by everyone.
At this time, Wuren Tuya brought a few maids to Hua Kai's study. She asked them to wait outside and slowly walked in.
"You're thinking about those laws and regulations again. You've been thinking about it for half a year!
Let's go down the mountain for a walk! "Wuren Tuya came to Hua Kai's side and said.
"These are the foundations of the Hua family's future development. We can't be careless.
Come over and let me hear how the child is doing! "Hua Kai stood up, and Wuren Tuya came to his side.
"It's been seven months, and there's still no reaction. My stomach also hasn't gotten bigger. Is it …" Wuren Tuya said worriedly.
"The Spirit-Nurturing Pill is a third-grade immortal pill. The child it gives birth to will definitely be different.
You don't have to worry now. When the time comes, there will definitely be a reaction. "Hua Kai could only comfort her like this.
"Yes!
Right now, other than my mother and grandparents, no one knows about my pregnancy.
That's right.
Patriarch Tie Fa's situation in the world of Journey to the West might not be good. Why don't you go in and take a look? He's been targeted by the Heavenly Court, and it might be difficult for him to escape this time. "
