This trip will go to Independent State again, and Ling Xuewei expects to stay for up to ten days.
I don’t know what’s going on in the city now.
…
Depart early in the morning and arrive in Independence State in the evening.
Originally, Qingyun Mountain was not far from the Independent State, so half a day was enough.
The person who greeted Ling Xuewei was Xue Duan. Di Jian was still out on a mission and had not returned yet. Ningyu only rushed back from the chamber of commerce at night.
Ling Xuewei didn't want to make any noise, and Xue Duan also understood her temperament, so he brought several lieutenants to greet her.
The group of people returned to the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion had not changed at all, it was still the same as when she left.
After feeding little Mianmian, let her go to sleep first.
Ling Xuewei left Xue Duan to have dinner with her.
"Xiong Cang, please sit down and eat together."
Xiong Cang paused and sat down.
Ling Xuewei does not have much suspicion of master and servant, and everyone who follows her knows this.
"By the way, where's Yuuji? Why don't we let him come with us?"
"Young Master, he should still be in the camp and has not returned yet. His subordinates will pick him up later..."
"Okay, don't follow me during this period. It just gives you a holiday."
Xiong Cang scratched his head a little naively.
It seems that his bodyguard can practice bathing frequently, which makes him feel a little embarrassed.
Afterwards, Ling Xuewei asked about the situation in Xue Duancheng. After the meal, the conversation was still not over, so they moved to the study.
The study room in the City Lord's Mansion is large enough for dozens of people to discuss matters together.
In the past year, the Independent State has expanded its territory by another state and three cities, and now it has become fourteen cities. There are more things to do, but Ningyu is already very good at managing the city. Although he is busy, he enjoys it.
Sometimes Ling Xuewei realizes that her luck is so good.
None of the two people around her seem to be ambitious people?
In the past, she always thought that Xue Duan was, but now it seems that it doesn't look like him anymore.
"...City Lord?"
"Xue Duan, have you ever thought about going one step further?"
Xue Duan's eyes flashed slightly.
"I have no other intention, I just want to say that sooner or later I will enter the realm of gods, so the affairs of the Independent State will be completely entrusted to you. For so long, you have devoted yourself wholeheartedly to the Independent State and the Independence Army, and
What you get is not enough."
"City Lord..."
"Listen to me first." Ling Xuewei waved her hand, "It is easier to conquer a country than to defend it. You are far more important than you think. On the contrary, without me, this independent state will still operate as usual."
"City Lord!" Xue Duan suddenly stood up.
"I don't agree!"
Suddenly there was an urgent voice outside, and then Ning Yude's figure appeared.
Ling Xuewei had no choice but to come by chance, so she just listened together.
"What do the city lord mean by this? Do you want to leave the Independent State and tens of thousands of our people behind and live happily on your own?"
Forehead……
It’s been a long time since I heard Ning Yu’s venomous tongue.
"Sit down first and let me tell you slowly."
"Don't say anything! We don't want to hear anything! Let's leave it at that. Today we will pretend we didn't hear anything and you didn't say anything."
Ningyu turned around and left.
"You'd better not mention this to Di Jian, otherwise he'll be in trouble."
After leaving these words behind, Ning Yu disappeared.
"City Lord, my subordinates have also resigned."
"you……"
Seeing the two people leaving quickly, Ling Xuewei opened her mouth, but eventually it turned into a sigh.
She knew it.
This matter is not easy to handle.
Originally, Ling Xuewei wanted to proceed step by step, but these people were too smart. As soon as she raised her eyebrows, they stopped her and interrupted her, leaving her unable to continue.
All her preparations were in vain.
She sighed in her heart.
In fact, the idea of transferring the independent state to the three of them has been around for a long time.
Since practicing in seclusion, all of Ling Xuewei's thoughts have been on cultivation and Mianmian. With the addition of Fanxu, she can hardly devote too much energy.
Although she was at the helm of the huge independent state, Ling Xuewei knew that the three of them were fully capable of managing the state well, and even prospering, becoming stronger every day.
Ling Xuewei had no way to give them more, so she at least entrusted them with their hard work.
Of course, she is not too great. If it were someone else, she would not want it. After all, she founded this place with her own hands, and she has special feelings for it. Therefore, she can only hand it over to people she approves of.
Di Jian, Ning Yu, and Xue Duan were all the first to follow her. In terms of strength, ability, skills, and prestige, they were all top-notch. She was relieved to leave the Independent State in their hands.
But, their reaction...
I know it's not that easy.
"Young Master."
"Come back so soon?"
Xiong Cang walked in at this time, "I just saw Deputy City Lord Ning and General Xue leaving in a hurry. What happened?"
Ling Xuewei looked helpless.
"Young Master...won't you mention that matter?"
"What?"
“It’s a matter that must be entrusted to the independent state!”
Ling Xuewei was surprised, "How did you..."
She never told Xiong Cang!
Xiong Cang sighed, "I follow the young master day and night. I can't say that I understand everything about your thoughts, but I can still guess a few things."
"My subordinate, if you say anything more, you should give up this plan. Those three people will never agree."
If it were him, he would never agree!
"Young master, you are good at everything, but sometimes you are too rational. To put it bluntly, you just don't consider other people's feelings and are too willful."
Ling Xuewei raised her eyebrows.
"If you say that, the three of them will definitely be angry! They are your right-hand men and have never left even in the most dangerous times. How could they take the Independent State as their own in times of peace? Here, but
You created it with your own hands and spent countless efforts. If they take it away, what will those soldiers and the people of the world say in the future? The most important thing is, young master, do you really think that they have been loyal to their duties for so many years and have never done anything?
Evil intentions?"
Xiong Cang looked serious, "Of course it's because the three of them really admire you!"
His words made Ling Xuewei startled and frowned.
I originally thought he could come up with some earth-shattering insights, but in the end...
Ling Xuewei stood up and was not ready to talk to Xiong Cang anymore.
"My subordinates are not talking nonsense! It's true! The three of them, as well as my subordinates, and so many generals below, are all gathered here because they admire you, young master!" Xiong Cang said anxiously, "
Otherwise, you think there are so many temptations outside and so many forces trying to woo them but have failed, what else could be the reason?"
Ling Xuewei sighed and patted Xiong Cang's shoulder, "Okay, okay, others don't dare to say that you really admire me. I know this. Go back and rest."
What I mean is, stop thinking wildly and go to bed early. (To be continued)
