There was a lotus pond, and the pond was connected to a long corridor. At the end of the pond was a pavilion. Due to the terrain, under the sunlight, it was filled with warmth and harmony.
Sitting in the pavilion, Qin Shuang was in charge of recounting all the details of her life while You Ruo listened attentively.
Silently, Yourou actually treated Qin Shuang as her pillow, quietly leaning on his arm and listening quietly. She even had the time to echo a few words.
"Senior Brother, this is your first time leading an army on an expedition. Are you nervous and afraid?”
"What? Senior Brother, how did you think of this? You actually didn't kill that heinous rapist. Instead, you castrated him…"
"Senior Brother, didn't you say there were four famous constables? Who are they?”
" Senior Brother is so good. The citizens of Liang City can live such a good life today because of Senior Brother. Father must reward Senior Brother heavily…"
Four hours passed silently.
After Qin Shuang finished talking about herself, Yourou also took the initiative to talk about the past three years.
From the information You Ruo had mentioned, Qin Shuang confirmed the following points:
Firstly, Yourou took the initiative to look for Xiong Ba half a year after he left the World Association. For some reason, Xiong Ba no longer restricted Yourou's personal freedom. Instead, he made Yourou change her name to 'Sword Dance' and officially announced to the people in the association that she had accepted 'Sword Dance' as her last disciple.
From this, Qin Shuang guessed," Xiong Ba must be unhappy that he's in a relationship with Yourou. That's why Xiong Ba didn't let him return to the World Association."”
Secondly, Xiong Ba had spent most of his time on Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun in the past three years, and both of them were at Xiantian Second Sky.
While the two of them were sharing their thoughts, Xiong Ba also came to the Liang City branch where the Dark Chess Order was located and asked his subordinates to find the paper flower immediately.
In a secret room.
"This subordinate, Zhi Tanhua, greets the Sect Master. Long live the Sect Master, long live, long live…"
"Stand up and talk."
"Thank you, Sect Master."
"Zhi Tanhua, do you know what Shuang 'er has done in Liang City for the past three years?”
"Reporting to Sect Master, this subordinate has heard of some of them.”
"Tell me the truth and don't hide it.”
Xiong Ba pretended to be dignified.
With Qin Shuang's reminder, Zhi Tanhua had rehearsed his speech more than ten times in advance.
"Reporting to Sect Master, ever since Young Master Shuang came to Liang City, the following things have happened: First, he heard that Chu Xiong colluded with Godless from the East Ocean Island, and then he thought of a way to capture Chu Xiong alive and eliminate the Japanese ninjas in Liang City. Secondly, when Young Master Shuang was the city lord, Young Master Shuang implemented various reforms, mainly…"
Zhi Tanhua said this for a full 25 minutes.
What the paper Tanhua said was 90% true and 10% false. The truth was real, and there were traces to follow. The fake was mixed up with the real. Even though Xiong Ba had some outstanding points, he still didn't notice it at all.
After hearing Zhi Tanhua report everything Qin Shuang had done, Xiong Ba confirmed the following three points:
First, Qin Shuang's literary talent and military strategy, both intelligence and resourcefulness;
Secondly, what he saw and heard in Liang City was not an act, it was real.
Thirdly, there were no more villains in the City of Liang. Everything was prosperous and peaceful.
After hearing the information from Zhi Tanhua, Xiong Ba returned to the City Lord's Mansion with a heart full of shock.
After personally finding Yang Mingru, Xiong Ba instructed Yang Mingru to list out all the reform policies and plans that Qin Shuang had issued during her time as the City Lord of Liang.
In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiong Ba sat in the main seat and browsed through various documents with all his heart. Yang Mingru stood silently at the side.
After a long time, Xiong Ba finally withdrew his gaze from the pile of books on the table.
"Phew…"
Xiong Ba exhaled deeply, making it difficult for Yang Mingru to guess what he was thinking at this moment.
Before this, Yang Mingru had looked for Qin Shuang, and the two of them had discussed the matter of Xiongba many times.
In fact, after Yang Mingru became the City Lord of Liang and confirmed the strength and ability of the soldiers of Liang City, he once suggested to Qin Shuang,""My lord, the soldiers of Liang City have the ability to open up new territory. Xiong Ba's cruel nature is hard to change. Why don't you replace him?”
Regarding this, Qin Shuang rejected it immediately and told Yang Mingru,""I'm digging a huge pit for Xiong Ba. Once he falls in, he probably won't be able to climb back up for the rest of his life.”
After Wen Chouchou sent a messenger pigeon to inform Qin Shuang that Xiong Ba was about to personally head to Liang City for an inspection, Qin Shuang took the initiative to look for Yang Mingru and secretly instructed him,"Since ancient times, three deaths have been a pity. First, talent is too big to deceive the monarch; Second, power is too big to suppress the monarch; Third, the high merit covers the monarch, or the high merit shocks the monarch. Amongst these three, I already have the third tendency, and Xiong Ba will definitely be on guard in the future, so I need you to think of a way to 'sow discord' in front of Xiong Ba.”
Based on the various information from Earth, Qin Shuang understood the meaning of 'greater merit than the master'.
For example:
Take Han Xin, a famous general under Liu Bang, for example. During the process of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fighting for the world, Han Xin first had a desperate battle, then an ambush from all sides. These two battles created the momentum of Liu Bang ruling the world.'Han Xin, who had made great contributions and was said to have made great contributions, did not get a good end in the end. Instead, he died unjustly in Changle Palace.
If Qin Shuang didn't know how to restrain herself in time, there would be a day when he would end up like this.
Therefore, Qin Shuang chose to 'retreat at the quickest speed' and gave up the position of Liang City's City Lord in time. Therefore, when he issued various reform policies, he also helped Xiong Ba to clear his name. Therefore, before he acted, he would think of Xiong Ba whenever there was an advantage.
If not for this, how could Xiong Ba's reputation in Liang City be so great?
If not for that, how could there be so many ordinary people worshipping Xiong Ba's shrine like a god?
All of this seemed like Qin Shuang had spent a lot of effort and energy, and everything was all about Xiong Ba alone. In reality, it was an invisible giant pit. Xiong Ba could not change his nature as a fierce and ambitious person, but he would take the initiative to put on the sheepskin of a wise ruler. This was what Qin Shuang wanted.
As long as Xiong Ba did this, the world would slowly transform into the City of Liang that it was today.
As long as Xiong Ba did this, the overlord of the North Region would be able to reach the Divine Great Land easily.
As long as Xiong Ba did this, the day he ascended the throne, Qin Shuang would be his successor.
In fact, Qin Shuang's every step was carefully planned, but Xiong Ba did not realize it.
For example, the Temple of Life of the Hundred Families seemed to be built by Qin Shuang to please Xiong Ba, but it was only on the surface. Qin Shuang wanted to use Xiong Ba's reputation to develop the outer city into a business circle step by step. On one hand, she wanted to raise and improve the living standards and income of the ordinary people in the outer city. On the other hand, she wanted to attract merchants from all over the world to flock to her. On the other hand, she wanted to use all the wealth from all over the world.
