Hua Yu sneered and said, "Of course I don't agree. Just think about it: if that statement were true, shouldn't your Li Kingdom’s Emperor Kangwu have unified the world long ago? But look around, isn't it still a stalemate of the Four Kingdoms and Two Cities?"
That was true.
Seeing that Yan Weichi agreed, Hua Yu continued, "As far as I know, ever since the Late Empress passed away, your Crown Prince has been repeatedly targeted by assassins from all sides. Left with no other choice, the old Emperor sent him to the army, which is the only reason he survived. Who knows why he suddenly returned to the Capital City? And now he nearly died. After all, he is alone and helpless in the capital, without even a single person he can trust. Hah! With him being so overwhelmed, he still wants to keep me trapped here?"
