Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
Qin Shuang had originally planned to leave the mountain to train for half a year before returning to the World Association. Who would have thought that she would unexpectedly become the City Lord of Liang City. Xiong Ba did not have any intention of letting Qin Shuang return to the World Association. Instead, he used messenger pigeons to pass on the remaining moves of the Skyfrost Fist to Qin Shuang.
After Qin Shuang returned to Liang City from the Yang Family Residence, he did not leave Liang City at all.
As the saying went, before the troops moved, the grain and fodder moved first.
Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that these three years were a period of 'sharpening the army and preparing the horse'.
This was also the preparation Qin Shuang had secretly made during her time in Liang City.
After returning to Liang City, Qin Shuang let Yang Mingru assume the position of the City Lord, but he did not inform the citizens of Liang City. Firstly, Yang Mingru suggested it, secondly, Qin Shuang wanted Yang Mingru to speak the truth, and lastly, Qin Shuang needed Xiong Ba's permission.
Unsurprisingly, in less than half a year, Yang Mingru had managed to achieve remarkable results in all sorts of reforms and policies.
During this period of time, Liang City was safe and orderly, and all kinds of systems were perfected. The martial artists who came and went lived in harmony, and there were more and more merchants. The ordinary people in Liang City also gradually realized the problem of food and clothing, and many of them had surplus food and money at home.
Half a year later, Qin Shuang personally wrote a letter to Xiong Ba recommending Yang Mingru.
Xiong Ba didn't hesitate and ordered Yang Mingru to officially take the position of Liang City Lord. At the same time, Xiong Ba also instructed Qin Shuang to take on the position of the 'World's First Manor's Manor Head. On one hand, she would continue to stay in Liang City, and on the other hand, she would secretly recruit all the wise men in the world for the World Association to use.
At this point, Yang Mingru's City Lord's Mansion and Qin Shuang's World's First Manor formed a situation of two forces. While both sides had their own responsibilities, they also worked together. In the next two and a half years, Liang City gradually developed into a real Dragon City.
In the past three years, in terms of military affairs, it could be summarized in one sentence: "There are three armies in Liang City. One is the Breaking Formation Camp, which is equipped with excellent armor and weapons. It is a light and heavy cavalry with a thousand soldiers. The first army, the Liang City Iron Cavalry, had five hundred soldiers. They were heavy cavalry, and their equipment was better than the Breaking Ranks. Their soldiers were all righteous martial artists. The first army was called the 'North Province Army', with 5,000 soldiers. Although they couldn't fight against the Breaking Formation Camp, they had the ability to open up new territory.”
Actually, other than the three armies, there were two more armies in Liang City: Firstly, the members of the Dark Assassination Army fluctuated and increased every day. Both men and women were in the army, one in the open and one in the dark. They mainly gathered information and could also complete assassination missions at any time. Secondly, the Four Gates of Constables belonged to the World's First Village. They were the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Each hall had 99 people, no more, no less, and focused on the people's livelihood. They specialized in bullying the weak and bullying the villagers.
In terms of government affairs, it could be summarized in one sentence: "Water irrigation projects, fertile fields, schools, people's livelihood, Liang City is prosperous.”
……
The World's Best Manor was located at the border between the inner and outer cities of Liang City. It was also the area that Qin Shuang had specially designated.
It was funded by the City Lord's Mansion. After half a year, with the principle of 'everything is simple,' the World's First Manor was completed.
On this day, on a training field in The World's Greatest Village.
"Drink, drink…"
On the martial arts field, Qin Shuang, who was wearing a training suit, was practicing a set of fist techniques. The fist techniques were sometimes wide open, sometimes strong and powerful, and sometimes extremely strange. This was because the master would occasionally not practice fist techniques and would quietly stretch or bend his body like this…In short, Qin Shuang's actions made others very puzzled.
Seeing Qin Shuang's actions, the two women sitting in a pavilion couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Xue 'er, Young Master has been practicing this fist technique for three years. When will it end?”
The person who spoke was dressed as a maid, but she was different from ordinary maids. Firstly, her clothes were high-grade brocade silk, and secondly, the style was slightly different.
The woman was Yu Niang.
Ever since Yang Mingru raised the entire clan to serve Qin Shuang as their leader, Yu Niang and the 120 experts in the village had followed Qin Shuang to Liang City.
From then on, Yu Niang became Qin Shuang's personal maid.
"Yu Niang, if he likes to practice, then let him continue practicing. After all, there's no significant effect after practicing for three years. Hey, Yu Niang, have you learned any new songs recently?”
"Yes, but?"
"Yu Niang, don't try to be mysterious. It's only been a few years. Don't tell me you've also gotten infected with his bad habits.”
"Hehe, it just so happens that Young Master taught me how to play a song called 'Tides in the Blue Sea' a few days ago. I'll play it for you now…"
As Yu Niang spoke, she took out the 'Green Bamboo Jade Flute' hanging on her waist and began to play it.
In an instant, the pavilion seemed to have turned into a vast ocean. Only the sound of waves slowly approached, sometimes approaching and sometimes accelerating, sometimes surging, sometimes surging…
"Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed. Two years ago, I was still Ji Ruxue, but now, I've become the 'Heartless Swordsman' of the Four Famous Hunters…Three years have passed, and there's no news of Master. It's good that he doesn't come, and it's fine if he forgets about me. But what if Master appears again?”
That's right, the woman with the flowing thoughts was Ji Ruxue.
Two years ago, Ji Ruxue suddenly told Qin Shuang that she wanted to be a constable.
In response, Qin Shuang did not refuse. Instead, she gave her the nickname 'Ruthless' of the four famous hunters.
After that, Ji Ruxue wore a silver mask and traveled the martial arts world as the 'Heartless Swordsman.'
Among the four famous constables that Qin Shuang had personally selected, there was only Ji Ruxue. Iron Hand, Chaser, and Coldblood had yet to find a suitable master.
Qin Shuang knew that Ji Ruxue's cultivation had been stagnant recently, and her realm was also at a bottleneck. That was why she wanted to go out and experience it, and break through her limits step by step in actual combat.
Qin Shuang had good intentions, but what he did not expect was: "From the day Ji Ruxue put on the mask, she never took it off again.”
Not to mention Ji Ruxue, as the flute music drifted, Qin Shuang was also approaching the critical moment of breaking through on the martial arts practice field.
To Qin Shuang, Yu Niang's flute music was not noise. Instead, it allowed him to be in a state where his body and mind were still.
On the martial arts field, Qin Shuang was standing in a strange posture. Her left leg was on the ground, and her heel was raised in the air. Only the tip of her foot landed on the ground. Her body was tilted at a 45-degree angle, and her head was facing the sky. Unconsciously, the muscles on Qin Shuang's body were jumping spontaneously at a strange rhythm. It was as if there was a force rising from the tip of her foot, spreading to every area of her body.
The innate true qi in her dantian flowed automatically according to the circulation route of the Clear Jade Skill. Every time it passed through a meridian, the innate true qi would quietly weaken a little. After one big circulation, the innate true qi in Qin Shuang's body actually dissipated by more than one-third…The mutation had not yet arrived, but it continued to spread. After nine consecutive big circulation, when the innate true qi in Qin Shuang's body was almost reduced to a strand of hair, the mutation finally stopped.
"Crackle…"
In an instant, Qin Shuang's body exploded like firecrackers.
The sound was so clear that even Ji Ruxue and Yu Niang, who were in the pavilion, could hear it.
"Peng…"
"Ah…"
Suddenly, Qin Shuang screamed and fell to the ground.
"Qin Shuang…"
"Young Master…"
As screams filled the air, Ji Ruxue and Yu Niang anxiously used their lightness skills and rushed towards Qin Shuang on the ground.
"No, it's nothing. Xue, Xue 'er, Hundred Flower Dew Pill, quickly…"
"Alright, alright…"
"Don't panic, slow down…"
Qin Shuang took the Hundred Flower Dew Pills from Ji Ruxue and swallowed them all in one go.
He forced himself to sit up and meditated with his five hearts. He circulated his cultivation technique as quickly as possible to digest the effects of the Hundred Flower Dew Pill. After about two hours, Qin Shuang stopped cultivating.
"Young Master, what's wrong? Did he go berserk?" Yu Niang said with a worried expression, the tears at the corners of her eyes visible.
"Don't worry, I didn't go berserk. I've broken through. I've finally reached the ninth level of the dragon elephant.”
Seeing that Qin Shuang did not show any signs of remorse, Ji Ruxue was so angry that she said sarcastically,""Hmph, what's so good about this lousy fist technique? Is there a need to be so agitated?"
" Long Xiang, Long Xiang. The first nine levels are just to build the foundation. There are many effects, but they are not obvious. But one day, I will be able to collapse a mountain with one punch…"
"One punch to shatter a mountain? The bull flew into the sky."
"You don't believe me?"
"Why don't you show me now?"
"Ahem, what about that? Xue 'er, I haven't seen you in a long time. You're not allowed to leave today. Yu Niang, go prepare a few dishes. Today, the three of us will not go home until we are drunk…"
Qin Shuang wasn't angry after being humiliated by Ji Ruxue. Instead, she started joking again.
