After walking out of the peach blossom forest, he felt his vision brighten up. Under the blue sky and white clouds, there were green mountains and clear waters. Looking around, he saw men and women talking and laughing as they busied themselves with farm work.
"Mountain outside the mountain, valley within the valley, what a paradise.”
"Haha, Brother Qin, you flatter me. Please…"
As Yang Mingru led Qin Shuang and Ji Ruxue closer, the surrounding villagers who were farming in the fields also spontaneously cast their gazes over. Many of them were curious, some were puzzled, and some were worried.
"Have they never left this place?”
Ji Ruxue couldn't help but mutter as she witnessed the changes in everyone's expressions. Although she spoke very softly, Yang Mingru still heard everything.
"Young Lady, you may not know this, but although my Yang family has lived in the valley for a long time, we have heard of the major events in the martial arts world. Men and women in the village can go out for experience after they become adults. If they meet a beautiful woman, they can get married. If you like this and don't like that, you can live in other places for a long time. If they were tired and sleepy and wanted to find a quiet place to spend their remaining years peacefully, they could return here at any time.”
Speaking up to this point, Yang Mingru once again added meaningfully,"I heard Xiong Ba say,'Those who obey me will prosper, those who resist me will perish.'May I ask Brother Qin, is this true?”
"It's naturally true when the world hears about it.”
"Oh? Since that's the case, Brother Qin's actions are probably a little against Master's will, right?”
Yang Mingru's words were nothing more than a reminder to Qin Shuang.""You disobeyed your master first. If Xiong Ba hears about it, you will lose favor at the very least, and you will die at the very least.”
Towards this, Qin Shuang was also filled with understanding.
"Old Man Yang, you're wrong. Qin Shuang's actions had already been reported to his master, how could there be any disobedience? In addition, there were many disputes in the martial world. It was common for people to cheat each other, and it was also common for people to fight in bloody rain. The Divine Land was so big. If they wanted to unify the Divine Land as soon as possible, it was reasonable for them to be ruthless. Master Xiong had Ling Yunzhi, and it was not an exaggeration to say that his martial arts were the grandmasters of the world. However, he lacked brave generals and few strategists by his side, so he missed it. However, knowing mistakes and being able to correct them, knowing good advice and being able to use it well, knowing capable people and being able to put them in an important position, it was not too much to say that this move was 'meritorious for thousands of years'.”
Hearing that Qin Shuang's words were logical and logical, Yang Mingru inadvertently said,""This kid is definitely not an ordinary person. With just his words, he turned Xiong Ba from an ambitious man into an eternal emperor.”
Yang Mingru did not continue this topic as he was lost in his reverie. Instead, he acted as a guide and introduced the scenery and decorations along the way to Qin Shuang and Ji Ruxue.
As the saying goes, although a sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
Although the Yang Village was located in the vast mountains, after generations of establishment and development, the daily life of the village was completely self-sufficient.
From the information mentioned by Yang Mingru, Qin Shuang confirmed the following three points:
First, the Yang Family Village was mainly made up of the Yang Family, and there were also some outsiders who were fleeing from the chaos. The total population was about 120 households.
Secondly, the Yang family had lived and multiplied here for more than 800 years.
Third, the Yang family members called themselves the Taiji Sect when they were out training. This was because all the Yang family members in the village, regardless of gender, could practice the Taiji True Technique and Taiji Sword Technique left behind by the Yang family's ancestors.
……
In Yang Ming's Confucian school.
This was a courtyard located in the middle of the mountain. It was a wooden house inlaid with bluestone slabs. The traces on the beams and eaves were left behind by the wind and rain, proving that the house in front of them had been around for at least hundreds of years.
"Brother Qin, please sit…"
"Yu Niang, the guests are here.”
As Yang Mingru finished speaking, Yang Yuniang slowly walked out of the inner room with a pot of tea.
Qin Shuang's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Yuniang. At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder,"I saw a ghost again. Isn't this Baby?”
As she thought about it, another thought appeared in Qin Shuang's mind."No, no matter what, I have to think of a way to kidnap this Old Man Yang. This is my goal. The most important thing is to make it easier for me to kidnap his precious daughter in the future.”
"Young Master, there is no good tea in the mountains. There is only plain food. Please don't mind…"
"Miss, please…"
After making the tea, Yu Niang returned to the inner room in time.
Sensing that Qin Shuang had been secretly staring at Yu Niang, who was leaving, Ji Ruxue felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She bent her leg and kicked Qin Shuang's calf hard.
After regaining her senses, Qin Shuang opened her mouth and said,""Old Master Yang, may I know your daughter's name?”
"Hehe, my daughter's surname is Yu, just like her mother. Her name is Yu Niang.”
"Xue 'er, since you don't like government affairs, why don't you go find Yu Niang and let her bring you around the manor? In addition, if Old Master Yang doesn't mind, Qin Shuang has a few attendants who are still trapped in the peach blossom forest. Qin Shuang originally intended to let them enjoy the beautiful scenery in the forest, but she forgot that they are all soldiers in the army and don't have that kind of intention. Therefore, I hope Old Master Yang can be magnanimous and let them out to bask in the sun, so that they won't bring two of them back when they go back…"
"What a good Qin Shuang. Her words are smooth, logical, and orderly.”
Although Ji Ruxue was unwilling, she still tacitly agreed to it because of her status.
Soon, Yang Mingru personally instructed Yu Niang to leave with Ji Ruxue.
After the two of them left, Qin Shuang went straight to the point,""Elder Yang, the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation originates from the art of war. The layout of the houses in the manor seemed ordinary, but there was actually a deeper meaning. Firstly, they occupied the Qi of Feng Shui and the Dragon Vein. Secondly, they formed an array to fight against the enemy. Since they were living in seclusion outside the secular world, there was no war. But why did the manor have to be arranged like this?”
"Hehe, this is the will of our ancestors.”
"Elder Yang, I'm afraid that's not all, right?”
"Then according to what Brother Qin said, why is this so?”
"Old Yang, forgive Qin Shuang for being so bold, but the layout of the Yang Family Village has three main meanings: First, the Yang family's ancestors wanted to become the prime minister of the country, but due to the limited time, they could not get important things, could not display their ambitions, and finally, they were exhausted and wanted to retire. Second, the Yang ancestors hoped that their descendants would always be alert and remember the great cause of worrying about the country and the people. Third, Old Man Yang and the villagers had never forgotten the last wishes of their ancestors. In fact, they were looking forward to the day when they could become an official.”
At this point, Qin Shuang's objective for this trip was very clear.
Seeing that Yang Mingru was silent, Qin Shuang did not take the initiative to remind him. The two of them just stared at each other.
After a while, Yang Mingru muttered to himself,"Xiongba's world cannot be ruled for long, and it cannot be ruled for long. This is fate.”
"Humans are mortals, and they only live for a hundred years. Master can't sit for long, but he can pass it down from generation to generation.”
"Oh? Could it be Brother Qin?"
"Haha, Old Yang, don't think too much. The Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation in the Peach Blossom Forest was enough to prove that Old Man Yang had the ability to lead troops. The people in the village lived a peaceful and healthy life, which was enough to prove that Old Man Yang had a good policy of governing the country. With both virtue and ability, if he died, he would die in peace. As long as Old Man Yang was willing to be an official, Qin Shuang was willing to welcome him with the position of the City Lord of Liang. Now that the world was recuperating, in a few years, the North Region would be as prosperous as Liang City. If the heavens didn't disappoint, the Great Land would do the same.”
When he heard that Qin Shuang actually wanted to invite him to be the City Lord, Yang Mingru's calm heart actually rippled a few times.
Not to mention this, the most important thing was that Qin Shuang not only provided a stage for him to display his knowledge, but also outlined an unprecedented golden age for the people of the world.
"Although Xiong Ba is ruthless, Qin Shuang has the demeanor of an emperor. This was the first reason. The second reason was that if someone else had Qin Shuang's talent, the first thing they would do would be to get rid of Xiong Ba. However, not only did Qin Shuang not do so, she even respected her teacher. Thirdly, this old man is already in his sixties. Just as Qin Shuang said, although I have studied hard all my life, I have never really put it into practice.”
Thinking of this, Yang Mingru only regained his senses after a cup of tea's worth of silence.
"Brother Qin, as the City Lord, I will prioritize benevolence, educate the people, build schools, build irrigation works, open up fertile fields, and seek the worries of the people.”
"Haha, that's right."
"Brother Qin, this old man is already 60 years old. I don't care and can't control what Xiong Ba does. However, once there is a tyrant's rule, the people in the city will not be able to wear clothes and eat their fill.”
"If you are a tyrant, kill him and replace him.”
As soon as Qin Shuang finished speaking, Yang Mingru did not continue asking. Instead, he stood up and straightened his clothes. Then, he clenched his fists and bowed."The 71st generation clan leader, Yang Mingru, after the commoner Yang family, greets the Lord…"
