It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

So is there anything wrong with Dongfang Xiao? Of course there is, but it can only be said that her character is still too bad. Even though Xu Shi has been digging a hole for her, she still took the initiative to fall into it in the end.

It's too late to regret now. The impact of "evil thoughts entropy increase" is irreversible, at least it is unlikely to happen in her situation. It all depends on when and where the mark appears.

Therefore, she was a little dissatisfied with Xu Shi. When she saw him, she would be reminded of her previous wrong decision.

Naturally, she treated the people around Xu Shi the same way. She hated the whole family and couldn't help but look at them with a scrutinizing attitude.

Tang Shuang was the type that she had not expected. At first glance, she looked inconspicuous, but who would have thought that she was actually the governor of Night Sin City? In terms of rank, she could be compared to herself.

But Governor-General Tang was very approachable. He had the dignity of a superior but not too much, and when he talked, he was like a calm lake.

If I had to put it bluntly, she's probably somewhere between a good person like Sister Xie and a bad person like Jiang Chengcheng...right?

The little queen thought so.

However, this is just an episode. The mutual transfer of interests between the two pieces of land is the highlight of today's negotiations.

The final result was enough to satisfy both parties.

On the side of Night Sin City, of course, according to the original agreement, factories will be built in various counties of the Hualan Empire to help them produce weapons. Infrastructure such as electricity and water conservancy will also follow up. This can be regarded as a large-scale reform across the country.

As for further in-depth information construction, it will be launched after the above-mentioned construction is completed. The previous pilot construction of Yinsong Island has already illustrated this problem. Even if the things are ready-made, it will take a little bit of digestion for people who have never come into contact with them.

This is the case even for small-scale reforms and upgrades, let alone such a large area. It goes without saying how much impact it will have on the people here.

Fortunately, everyone has plenty of time and professionals are readily available.

Oh, by the way, speaking of Yinsong Island, this island has now been divided into a so-called "autonomous region", which can be separated from the Hualan Empire and governed by Pan Cheng.

To put it bluntly, it was "borrowed" by the Night Sin City to be an overseas base. Everyone understands the truth, but we have to use a more elegant way of saying it, otherwise there will be a lot of old-fashioned people crying that their ancestral land cannot be handed over to others.

In addition to this, the benefit that Night Sin City can obtain is naturally the liquid "Rust Mist" ore veins that are unique to the Hualan Empire. Anyway, Boss Xu has already circled several for himself.

It can be said that this should be the biggest gain of this overseas trip - as mentioned before, compared with the high-concentration "Rust Mist" ore in the "Forgotten" territory, the liquid "Rust Mist" ore also has its unique advantages. It can be said that each has its own merits.

Long before everything was settled, Jiang Chengcheng and Xie Qingyan had already conducted some research on it and concluded that the liquid "Rust Mist" ore had considerable value both in military and medical fields.

On this basis, the two lands will also exchange talents in order to maximize the value of these resources and develop better weapons and medicines.

After all, everyone now knows that there is the existence of "Heavenly Law" above them, and after hearing all this, Dongfang Xiao positioned it as an "enemy" without hesitation.

Not to mention that she has her own ambitions, at least she doesn't want to be manipulated like a puppet. Why should everything we do be for the so-called protagonist or the plot? Go to hell!

But to be honest, given her current situation, it is actually impossible for her to refuse...

"Xu... Teacher, you are not serious, are you?"

She also confirmed, "According to the plot, I will eventually become a supporter of Luo Yu? There is a high possibility that I will be with another woman..."

"Although it is speculation, the situation will not deviate too much."

Xu Shi was very confident about this, after all, he had escaped from such a plot.

People who follow the principle of heaven seem to love the setting of the harem, at least that is the case in Night Sin City and Hualan Empire.

"Speaking of which, I'm still curious. Have you ever had any interactions with him before?"

Boss Xu asked with interest.

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have had any impression of this person."

Dongfang Xiao shook his head. "I only saw him once at the Templar Knights' canonization ceremony a few years ago."

But for her at that time, these things were just formalities, so why would she really take them seriously?

That's why she was so resistant. It was really a bit difficult to commit herself to a man like this. In comparison, she certainly thought Xu Shi was a better choice.

Let’s not talk about human nature for now. At least her teacher’s methods are there, and she has to admit that he has his personal charm, otherwise she would not jump into the pit he dug no matter how big it is.

"Anyway, this is it... Although it's not the best ending for me, it's enough to satisfy me."

The little queen was honest for once, and there was a hint of resignation in her words.

"As long as the contract between us remains, you will always be satisfied."

Xu Shi smiled.

"My little slave understands."

Dongfang Xiao blurted out subconsciously, but quickly shut his mouth when he realized that Tang Shuang was present.

No matter how many times this kind of drama happens, she still feels a little embarrassed.

Governor Tang also looked at Xu Shi with a bit of disbelief. My goodness, are you guys really that cunning?

Obviously, due to the tight schedule, she didn't quite understand what kind of relationship the two people had.

But she didn't feel particularly surprised - as I said, if it was Xu Shi, it would be normal.

“…I’m sorry.”

The little queen wished she could find a hole to crawl into, and she changed the subject in a panic.

"The teacher told me before that there are some things he can't make the decision on, and he still has to listen to the governor... Sister Tang, you are the governor, is that true?"

"He's right."

Tang Shuang nodded without hesitation, "We have an agreement between us. After all, I am the governor, and all matters, big or small, must be approved by me."

Xu Shi looked as if he had seen a ghost. When did this agreement come about? How come I didn't know about it?

"…But it seems that I only have the power to approve."

Governor Tang rolled his eyes at him and said the second half of the sentence slowly.

They don’t even have the right to disapprove. That’s what a dog consortium is like.

There was a hint of resentment in her tone, thinking back to when she used to view the consortium as jackals and tigers, she never expected that it would end up like this.

Humph.

"Don't talk about that. I also have something to ask you."

She brought the subject back again.

"OK?"

"I heard that there is a little secret between you and Xu Shi. Can you show it to me?"

Tang Shuang asked with a blink.

Dongfang Xiao's face was immediately filled with black lines.

...The preface is retracted!

This person is no different from Jiang Chengcheng's bad master's wife!

……

It is impossible to demonstrate it, mainly because Boss Xu's level is still not enough to achieve online multiplayer Impart. He is powerless.

However, Tang Shuang was still quite happy when leaving the palace, mainly because in addition to the practical discussions, Xu Shi also got an imperial edict.

"The Imperial Tutor Xu Shi is loyal to the country and has made great contributions to the country. He is specially appointed as the Regent, given the title of Duke, and granted ten thousand hectares of land..."

This is obviously top-level treatment, but it also inevitably has a bit of a gag in it. To put it more interestingly, this is considered to be giving him a status, which is more symbolic than practical - he can't really be a duke or prince living in a corner, and the so-called fiefdom is also "governed by the royal family."

These privileges include entering the palace at any time, being allowed to sit in front of the palace when wearing a sword and shoes, etc., which are indeed not available to ordinary people. But he does not need Dongfang Xiao's consent to do so. He has been to the palace so many times before, and except for the first time, which time did he need to be notified and approved?

But this is enough. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has become the second Cheng Gujian.

Yes, the Hualan Empire cannot do without the Grand Duke, just as the West cannot do without Jerusalem.

As for what the court officials think, whether they oppose or support, this is not something he needs to worry about, Dongfang Xiao will take care of it for him.

"Regent, that sounds cool."

Tang Shuang weighed the imperial edict and said, "Not bad, not bad. You are finally a good match for this Governor."

"Come on, if I hadn't forced you in the first place, would you have been so cruel as to become the governor?"

Xu Shi made a face at her. Besides, why would I need this damn regent to increase my value?

Obviously, in the City of Night Sin, the status of the consortium is higher, okay?

"Then I don't care, that's the reason."

Governor Tang began to make a fuss. "When you were away, I redesigned the uniforms for the government service and brought a few sets over. Would you like to try them on?"

It has to be said that she has a great obsession with role-playing.

"Well...it depends on my mood."

"How dare you not agree? I am ordering you as the Governor!"

Tang Shuang put on a very dignified look, "Otherwise you don't have to go back, just hold your little empress and live out your life alone in a foreign country!"

"Ah, yes, yes."

In response to this kind of harmless threat, Boss Xu simply gave a lousy response.

To be honest, judging from the way they behave, it is hard to tell that they are the rulers of a city-state or a piece of land. They are just a happy couple who play around and joke around.

At least that's what the passers-by on the way back thought.

When they returned to the mansion, their young disciple Pan Ling had been waiting for a long time.

"master."

Miss Xiaoling said seriously, "Can you tell me now what the situation is with "Heavenly Law"? "

Because of the tight time schedule, Xu Shi didn't have time to explain too much to her, which made her very anxious.

"Look, he's in a hurry."

Xu Shi couldn't help laughing, but he would not go back on his word, so he explained the whole process to her in detail, much more seriously than when he answered Dongfang Xiao's questions in the palace.

“…Is that so?”

Surprisingly, Pan Ling's reaction to all this was not intense; she was even a little too calm.

"You can keep your composure."

Xu Shi was a little surprised.

"Because I have now broken the so-called plot arrangement, right?"

The silly apprentice said seriously, "Instead of worrying about these illusory things, it is better to do every task at hand well."

"With the master here, I think no matter what it is, it can be solved easily, right?"

She continued, "Even if you can't finish it, I will take over and continue."

At first glance, this may sound quite rebellious, but of course that's not what she meant.

On the contrary, from her reaction it can be seen that Xu Shi’s previous teaching was quite successful.

The little girl is no longer timid and introverted, and can look at everything with a normal mind. There is considerable power in her calmness.

She didn't even react much to Luo Yu's death.

"Let's put aside the feud between him and you, Master. Ultimately, he is just a pawn of Heaven."

She has her own opinion, "A life that is manipulated is always a tragedy. I just hope that together with my master, I can prevent such a tragedy from happening again."

"……well said."

Xu Shi quite agreed with what she said, she was worthy of being his disciple.

Of course, in comparison, the straightforward Pan Feng still felt a little sad about this - after all, Luo Yu was once her family, so it was inevitable that she felt sad.

Unfortunately.

This sadness can be easily washed away.

Not because of anything else.

But it was because of Gu Yi.

"Hey, Winter Melon!"

Miss Black Rabbit bossed Pan Feng around, "I am your master's wife after all. Is it so difficult to ask you to do something?"

"No……"

Miss Xiao Feng said aggrievedly, "Can you please stop calling me Winter Melon? I know I was wrong..."

"I know you're wrong."
