From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 247 The Power of the People

"Hey, Brother Lin, I understand this, but you also know the current situation of Douluo Continent. The two empires are suspicious of each other, and the Spirit Hall is even more ambitious. Although I think that the Spirit Hall's unification of the world may be more beneficial to the future of Douluo Continent, how many masters will die in this turmoil? By then, I'm afraid they won't be able to resist the attack of the Sun Moon Empire, right?"

Leng Xiyao was also very melancholy about the future. She originally thought that the battle with the Spirit Hall was the most magnificent battle in her life, but now it seems that there is still a long way to go in the future!
If the Sun-Moon Empire really conquered Douluo Continent, how could she live a peaceful life with a wife, children and a warm bed?

"No, no." Lin Yun suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "I originally thought so, but now there is a variable like you, right?"

"Me?" Leng Xiyao was a little surprised. "Brother Lin, I am just a weak woman. Although I have some strength, I have to fight against the Spirit Hall. With the Spirit Hall's style of doing things, they will definitely not let me go. I can't convince the Pope to help me get revenge. With the internal friction between the two sides, let alone achieving a united front on Douluo Continent, it would be good if I don't get beaten to death."

"That's true, but sister, do you know how I, your brother, was recognized by the two empires without any martial spirit or background?" Shen Yun smiled carefreely, and then said righteously:

"It's the people! I rely on the strength of the millions of people in Giant Sword City! As long as the people support and love me, my position will be indestructible! Therefore, even if the two empires or the Spirit Hall want to take action against me, they must first ask the millions of people in Giant Sword City whether they agree or not!"

After hearing Shen Yun's words, Leng Xiyao suddenly understood something.

Lin Yun pointed to the brightly lit city outside the window, and he looked very proud. "Do you think that the 100 million gold soul coins I collect in taxes every year are all my own? Of course not! I will use 50 million of this money to satisfy the people of Giant Sword City. They say that the night is too dark, then I will install street lights on every road. They say that the prices are too high? Then I will recruit a large number of farmers from the two empires, arm the army to seize the land from those bandits and reclaim it, so that Giant Sword City will no longer lack any supplies."

"What should we do if there are vagrants? I will arrange a suitable job for everyone. They say the work is too hard and tiring? Then I will personally knock on those damn capitalists and formulate more people-friendly laws and regulations to give people more entertainment space!"

"You think I'm losing out? No, people get more income and more entertainment, so they will pay me more taxes. More importantly, people will love me because of this. No one can afford the price of not ruling this city by me, and no one wants to return to the era when the two empires ruled the city, when people were hungry and poor, and soul masters could kill the poor in the streets without being punished!"

After saying that, Shen Yun leaned back, raised his hand, and said easily: "So I believe that when the two empires are at the gates of the city, more than 800,000 of the millions of people in Giant Sword City will definitely be willing to sacrifice their lives to defend their homes. If that group of people really dare to attack against the will of the world, then the two empires will not be far from disintegration."

After saying that, Lin Yun fixed his eyes on Leng Xiyao, the little sister, and said with a carefree smile: "So, sister, do you understand?"

Leng Xiyao was shocked by Lin Yun's impromptu speech. She thought seriously and had to admit that the other party's words gave her great inspiration.

If she was an ordinary citizen in Giant Sword City, under the leadership of Lin Yun, would she be willing to sacrifice her life for the governor?
The answer is yes.

If an ordinary person encountered this situation, he would never be able to do what Shen Yun did. He was like a genius orator, and every word he said had the magical power to move people's hearts.

After a long while, Leng Xiyao finally spoke: "...I can see that you are definitely a talented orator, brother. The so-called time and space turbulence may not be a disaster for you, but an opportunity for you to realize your ambitions."

"What's the matter with chance? My dream is just to meet a lover and spend the rest of my life with him/her. How can I have such a lofty ideal?" Shen Yun waved his hand and said indifferently.

"Actually, I have thought about these things and have already implemented them preliminarily, but the current scale is still too small, with only more than 10,000 people in total. I still need to think carefully about this route." Leng Xiyao had planned this a long time ago. It was for this purpose that she sent her capable men to the northern province in advance. If she could take root in the chaos in the future, she would have more say in the Douluo Continent.

“It’s okay. Everything can be done slowly. This world is actually more chaotic than you think. Not only are those masters fighting for power, but ordinary kingdoms, principalities and dominions are also not at peace. Thousands or even tens of thousands of people are often killed for the sake of personal disputes. They are truly thugs who treat human life as worthless.” After saying this, Lin Yun seemed to remember something and couldn’t help but sigh.

"No matter what, I believe you can come back from Wuhun City. This battle will definitely make you famous, even more famous than Tang Hao. After you develop for a few years or ten years, I think we can unite and form a double-sided force to reshuffle the Douluo Continent and realize our respective dreams."

"Dream?" Leng Xiyao thought of Qin Menglan and nodded seriously, saying, "I will work hard."

After talking about this rather serious topic, the two began to eat and drink. In Lin Yun's eyes, Leng Xiyao was able to master weapons such as siege tanks, guns and artillery, and was undoubtedly a poor person who was stranded in a foreign world like him. Leng Xiyao was the same. She sympathized with this brother who had a very positive outlook and strong abilities and had roughly the same worldview as her in her previous life. The two could be said to appreciate each other.

As the cups were exchanged, Leng Xiyao also revealed that she was reborn. She also told him everything except the system and the swarm. This was not a secret. After all, the things she sold were very strange in Douluo Continent. Who would believe her if she said she was not a time traveler!

It is precisely because of this frankness that the two of them understand each other better, just like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. This joy is indescribable.

Unfortunately, even if Leng Xiyao’s past and present lives were added together, she was still not older than Lin Yun.
