Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 494 A Late Night Talk with Xue Qinghe

In this Spirit City, Wang Chen had expected to meet the person he least wanted to see and had even made ample preparations, but he still couldn't accept it when he saw him!

Damn it!

You've already built a harem, and you still want to steal his beloved? Is there no justice or law in this world?

"Your Majesty, you're back." Composing himself, Wang Chen greeted him respectfully.

"Why don't we go inside and have a chat? Brother Tang, it's been a long time since we last met. Let's have a good talk." Xue Qinghe ignored the expectant Wang Chen and instead extended an invitation to Tang San.

"I am the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall and the Silver Blue Earl of the Heaven Dou Empire. Since His Majesty has invited me, I naturally cannot refuse." With outsiders present, Tang San addressed Xue Qinghe with more respect.

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly and said to Wang Chen, "Go prepare a midnight snack. I want to have a long talk with Brother Tang until dawn and learn from him."

Semen collection?

Wang Chen had the wrong idea, but he still respectfully agreed and was very obedient—he believed that with his sincerity, he could definitely move Qian Renxue and make her understand his feelings.

As the saying goes: Where there's a will, there's a way.

Tang San is a philanderer; he's a scumbag.

He, on the other hand, was a man of unwavering loyalty: of all the waters in the world, he would only take a single sip, demonstrating unparalleled fidelity.

Watching its departing figure, Tang San, for some reason, thought of a certain upright-walking, dark-skinned sheep...

"Brother Tang, how should I reclaim the New Heaven Dou Federation?" Xue Qinghe personally poured tea for Tang San and Gu Yuena in their hotel room and brought up the matter.

"As you know, I don't get involved in conflicts and disputes between countries within the continent, and besides, this should be a 'family matter' for you." Tang San politely declined. "I only proposed the Edict of Grace on paper; its implementation is up to you."

"What I need is your theoretical strategies." Xue Qinghe's face lit up with lust, like a woman who had just seen a stunningly handsome man.

Tang San asked, "Wang Chen should be able to say these things too, right?"

"Him?" Xue Qinghe scoffed. "When he was a child, he did have a lot of novel ideas, but unfortunately they were useless to me back then... Now, in your words, he's rigid in his thinking and his brain is full of mush."

The environment has a great influence on people. Transmigrators who were raised by Xue Qinghe from childhood using the method of "training eagles" will forget their talents during this period of growth, no matter how much they have.

Wang Chen was like that. He suffered many setbacks, and even though he was unwilling in his heart, he had already developed a passive "conditioned reflex", just like Fang Zhongyong, and became just an ordinary person.

"You can't say that." Tang San thought that Wang Chen had already done quite well to get to where he was. Didn't you see that some of the other transmigrators had already died?

but--

"Taking down the new Tian Dou is actually quite simple."

"The New Heavenly Dou Federation was formed because you wanted to eliminate the old aristocratic power within the Empire, which led to the nobles of those kingdoms uniting together, but such a union is actually not very stable."

"They couldn't achieve effective unity. When they were fighting the Sun and Moon Army in Xiaohai City, the army brought by Avalanche was the largest in number, but the one with the worst teamwork was the one with the worst coordination."

"If we launch a direct attack, the Heaven Dou Empire could easily destroy the New Heaven Dou Federation, but that would be a devastating blow and would give the Star Luo Empire an opportunity to exploit, right?"

Xue Qinghe nodded. To her, the New Tiandou Federation was nothing. The only problem was that the Xingluo Empire might take advantage of the situation to send troops.

In addition, the entry of the Sun Moon Empire also forced her to consider overseas factors.

Furthermore, the research on soul-guided weapons has been put into the open, and all countries are studying them. No one dares to act rashly and can only send their own spies to conduct more in-depth investigations.

It can be said that the current Heaven Dou, New Heaven Dou, Star Luo, and Spirit Hall all have spies among themselves... Only the Spirit Hall in Spirit City is slightly better; if there are spies, they can be directly exposed.

Because of the existence of the Blue Silver Network, all the activities of spies can be carried out openly and legitimately right under Tang San's nose.

"The reason those kingdoms elected Avalanche is because he is a descendant of Emperor Snow Night; they care a lot about the word 'legitimate'."

"If they were to elect their own king as the head of the federation, that would be a true rebellion."

"Reputation is very important, especially in this era where information spreads very quickly."

In the past, when turmoil occurred within the royal family, ordinary people were completely unaware and naturally didn't care.

But now, with the propaganda of public opinion, it is easy to incite emotions, and the natural instinct to watch the excitement can drive a large number of people to promote their own "justice".

While true keyboard warriors haven't yet appeared on the Douluo Continent, the development of soul tools and the reduction in the cost of newspapers and soul-guided cameras, coupled with the establishment of enlightenment martial spirit academies in villages and towns across the continent by the Spirit Hall to spread new ideas and sell high-yield grains, have not only ensured that people have enough to eat but also increased their interest in literacy. This has enabled them to learn things they wouldn't normally know and thus express their opinions openly or covertly.

Despite the fact that the New Heavenly Dou Federation is currently "closed off" and prevents residents from leaving the various kingdoms, in reality, many insightful people within its borders have been spreading information from the outside world into the country.

"So, the goal is to tarnish their reputation so much that the people of the entire continent reach a consensus, right?"

Xue Qinghe's eyes lit up. "Those guys already have a bad reputation, and they're not united internally. Perhaps a little divisive tactics can make them fall apart."

"But how do we execute it?"

Tang San stretched and slowly said, "I don't know about that, but I can only say that they united to resist your reforms and to preserve their hereditary status, honor, and wealth."

Having been given such a hint, Xue Qinghe naturally understood what to do—find certain kings, promise them hereditary rights, and even go through every single king; there will always be a few foolish ones who believe it.

I don't expect them to really fall apart because of this, but as long as there is conflict, it can continue to escalate. Even if they know it's a divisive tactic, once the seed of resentment is planted, even if it's pulled out, it will leave a hole and can never be restored to its original state.

Gu Yuena looked at Tang San and Xue Qinghe with a smile but said nothing. She pursed her lips and secretly sneered, "What evil humans! They actually have to come up with so many schemes and tricks... But the relationships between humans are really complicated. I'm almost assimilated into a human. If I ever return to my original form in the future, I definitely won't want to live in those deep mountains and forests anymore."

"However, given my relationship with Tang San, it's not impossible for us to just let things fall apart and let the soul beasts move to another place."

"Unfortunately, neither Tang San nor I would allow ourselves to give up..."
