Pow!
Princess Qian You slammed her palm on the table, knocking over all the teacups on the table with an excited look on her face.
She then respectfully bowed to Zhong Shan. "Many thanks, mister."
"I don't dare." Zhong Shan immediately returned her bow.
"No, Peerless City's matter has been bothering me for a long time. I didn't expect mister to help me so much with just a few words. No matter what happens to Peerless City, mister's help will be a great help to me," said Princess Qianyou.
Zhong Shan could only nod and extend his hand. "Princess, please sit. I'll need lord Shui to carry out this matter."
"Mm." Princess Qian You sat down with a trace of satisfaction.
As for Ah 'Da, Ah' Er, and Shui Tianya, they were staring at the Go board on Zhong Shan's table.
"Mister Zhong, what is the meaning of this?" Shui Tianya looked at Zhong Shan.
"Lord Shui, once you return, reorganize the southern part of the city. Put the entire southern part of the city in a tense state. Also, send people to spread the news that the Grand Yu Imperial Dynasty is about to attack. "The southern part of the city is also on full alert. Have more people check the people entering and leaving the city several times," said Zhong Shan.
"The Grand Yu Imperial Dynasty is about to attack? Fang Shan had just signed the armistice agreement. Would it be bad for me to do this? If someone were to accuse me of stirring up trouble between the two dynasties, then I would have even less of a chance in this election, "Shui Tianya frowned and said doubtfully.
"Accuse? What accuse you of? You're just taking precautions. You didn't say the Grand Yu Imperial Dynasty was going to attack. All you did was strengthen the city's defenses and maintain the security of the southern part of the city. Who would criticize you? "Zhong Shan smiled.
"Oh?" Shui Tianya thought for a moment and nodded.
"But what's the point?" Shui Tianya frowned.
"Because you sent people to say the Grand Yu Imperial Dynasty was going to attack Peerless City. They supported you in tightening the city's defenses and increasing the pressure on the citizens. Mo Baili's side definitely won't copy you. What they want to promote is a kind of peace between the two dynasties," said Zhong Shan.
"Why?" Shui Tianya asked in puzzlement.
"If they learn from you, then they will be at a disadvantage in the eyes of the people of Peerless City. They will think that Mo Bai Li's vision is not as good as yours, that he doesn't see things as far and as clearly as you. In the hearts of the people, Mo Baili is slightly inferior to you. However, I don't think they will learn from you. Other than not wanting to be at a disadvantage, there is also the restriction of the military and the large families that originally supported Mo Baili, "Zhong Shan said.
"Huh?" Mo Baili looked at Zhong Shan in confusion.
"Sir Shui's foundation in Peerless City isn't deep. You won't be able to gain the support of the big families in Peerless City in a short period of time. In that case, you'll have to start from the most rootless commoners and win their hearts," Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"But, if I say that the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty wants to attack Peerless City, would this commoner be willing to support me?" Shui Tianya asked doubtfully.
Looking at Shui Tianya, Zhong Shan was speechless. How could Shui Tianya still not understand after all this?
"Peerless City is at the border between the two dynasties. In the past, there have been wars here all year round. The commoners here are more concerned about the arrival of war. They are very sensitive about this. When you find people to spread the news, do your best to spread the news about the crisis of war. Once the city is breached, capture the women and make them into cultivation furnaces for the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty's soldiers. Capture the men and make them into slaves to build the city and usher in a golden age for the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty. It would be best if you could find examples of how the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty had harmed them in the past, "Zhong Shan said.
"But, there has never been such a brutal army in the divine continent. Only in the west, there seems to be one. Other wars have never been so cruel. The Great Yu Imperial Dynasty has strict military laws, so it's impossible for them to do such a thing. Will the commoners believe it? "Shui Tianya asked.
Looking at Shui Tianya, Zhong Shan rolled his eyes and said to Princess Qian You, "Princess, why don't you explain it to Lord Shui?"
Princess Qian You narrowed her eyes and smiled as she watched Zhong Shan explain to Shui Tianya. Seeing Zhong Shan speechlessly retreat in defeat, she couldn't help laughing. At the same time, she sighed at Shui Tianya. As long as one of the commoners believed it, they would definitely succeed. Even if they didn't believe it, it would still leave a shadow in their hearts.
"If I want you to go, then go. What's with all the nonsense?" said Princess Qian You.
"Yes." Shui Tianya immediately shut his mouth.
Drinking a mouthful of tea, Zhong Shan looked at Princess Qian You and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. This is all I can think of for now. If I can pull in some commoners, I'll pull in some commoners. I'll think of something else later."
"Mm." Princess Qian You nodded. She was already satisfied that she had thought of this in the past few days. At the very least, the original deadlock had loosened a bit. There was still nearly a year left, so she could take it slow.
Ten days later, on a huge floating island in the northern part of the city.
Gu Lin, Mister Shui Jing, and Mo Baili were all standing in a palace on the floating island.
Mo Baili was respectfully explaining something to Gu Lin and Mister Shui Jing.
Gu Lin was a bit puzzled, but Mister Shui Jing's brows were tightly furrowed.
"Are you sure the people Shui Tianya sent out are all saying this?" asked Mister Shui Jing.
"Yes. In the various business districts, in the various large restaurants, they treat everyone they see to food and drink. Then they act like they're drunk and talk nonsense. "The Grand Yu Imperial Dynasty has already gathered an army of a million in the Tearing Heart Mountain Range. They can attack the city at any time. There are even people who say that an army of ten million or fifty million is just nonsense. They even say that when the army breaks through Peerless City, the men will be used as coolies and the women as cultivation furnaces. The southern part of the city and Shui Tianya are preparing for war, "said Mo Baili.
"Has Shui Tianya gone mad? Who would believe such nonsense? "laughed Gu Lin.
"Someone will believe it." Mister Shui Jing shook his head.
"Who? How is that possible? That's impossible, "said Gu Lin immediately.
Looking at Gu Lin, Mister Shui Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Crown Prince, there are tens of millions of people in Peerless City. Not everyone is as smart as Crown Prince. Rumors will stop with the wise. However, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. In such a large city, it's normal for there to be a few muddle-headed people."
"It's just a few people. What's there to be afraid of?" said Gu Lin.
"There's a saying that a rat's droppings spoil the whole pot of soup. If a stupid person believes it, it can make the people around him become stupid as well. They will become skeptical. This way, they will fall into Shui Tianya's trap." Mr. Shui Jing explained.
Hearing Mister Shui Jing's words, Mo Baili was shocked. What should he do?
"Mister, I remember now. The atmosphere in the southern part of the city is very tense. A large number of city enforcement officers have been mobilized to investigate the various business districts. The city gates have also become stricter," said Mo Baili immediately.
Hearing Mo Baili's words, Mister Shui Jing gently waved his feather fan and frowned as he muttered to himself, "What a smart Princess Qian You. No, this doesn't seem like Princess Qian You's style. Uh, maybe I'm wrong."
"Shui Jing, why don't we advertise like this too?" Gu Lin immediately said.
"No, if we copy Shui Tianya, then in the hearts of the people, Shui Tianya's ability will rise rapidly with Mo Baili's help. The impact will be even worse. Besides, will the army believe it? Will the big families believe it? It will only backfire, "Mister Shui Jing shook his head and said.
"Then what should we do?" Gu Lin immediately asked worriedly.
Looking at Gu Lin, Mister Shui Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Crown Prince. This is just a small matter. It won't amount to much. As time passes, it will fade away and no one will believe them. We need to have our own persistence. In times of peace, we need to constantly tell the people of Peerless City that there will be peace in the future and no more wars. Let the people believe that as long as Mo Baili is the City Lord, there will be no more wars."
"Mm." Gu Lin nodded.
"Lord Mo, you know what to do, right?" asked Mister Shui Jing.
"Mister, don't worry. This kind of thing, this one will naturally do. "Mo Baili immediately smiled.
Another month later.
In a small pond in the backyard of Zhong Shan's residence.
Zhong Shan held a large saber and stood in the pond, using the large saber to slowly split the water in the pond. One slash after another. And every time the saber struck the surface of the pond, it was like cutting tofu. It was as if the water automatically parted to allow the saber to pass through.
Zhong Shan did not use any energy. It was just an ordinary saber strike, slowly cutting the surface of the pond.
The saber cut very slowly, but it was also very strange. It was as if the pond water was parting to two sides by itself.
This was also Zhong Shan's own training. Splitting waves. Of course, he had not reached the level of waves yet. Now, he was starting to split the quiet water. This was the third level. In the past, he split the lines of wood. Later on, he split the lines of stone. Now, what Zhong Shan was looking for was the lines of water. Water flowed without any shape or form. How could there be lines? But Zhong Shan firmly believed in this point.
And gradually, Zhong Shan actually found a trick. With the least amount of strength, he split the water in the pond.
While Zhong Shan was training, Princess Qian You slowly walked over with Ah Da, Ah Er, and Shui Tianya.
When they saw Princess Qian You, the servants immediately bowed. Princess Qian You waved her fan and stopped them. Then, she brought the three of them to the stone table at the side.
Princess Qian You sat down gently. The three of them stood at the side, not daring to sit. Together, they waited for Zhong Shan to finish his training.
Seeing Zhong Shan slowly put the saber into the water, took it out, put it in the water, and took it out again, Shui Tianya's face twitched unconsciously. This was because Shui Tianya did not see Zhong Shan releasing any energy. It was as if a child was playing with carrots.
Only Princess Qian You could see it. When she saw a trace of water parting at the edge of the saber, Princess Qian You's pupils shrank and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
