Zhang Yizhi pursed his lips and said, "Brother Du, where is Shi Pingchuan?"

"Are you doubting the ability of the second place?" Doug glanced at him and said, "Yizhi, do you know why Shi Pingchuan is the second place, but you are not well-known?"

"Why?" Zhang Yi asked subconsciously.

"The prime minister of a country seems to have a high status. If you cooperate with him, you can play a greater role. But don't forget that Shi Pingchuan is in a very high position and there are too many people who can be used." Doug smiled, "You follow him and seem to be cooperating, but in fact you are obeying. He gives orders and asks you to execute them. Even if he doesn't use you, he can replace you with another person. Think about it carefully, isn't this the truth?"

"..." The expression on Zhang Yizi's face was a little stiff.

"It's different with me. I'm extremely short of people. If you do something, people will promote you. For example, Huangfu Yue, Gao Yanping, Huangfu Xing, Gou Heyi... their reputations are already known to everyone."

Du Ge said, "This time, we are going to fight Cao Lin. You are responsible for leading Cao Lin to Yangjiang, and I will deal with him. This is a perfect cooperation. I have thought of the propaganda words for the future. Zhang Yizhi cleverly lured the enemy, and the brave He Xu captured Cao Lin. I guarantee that your reputation will be known to the world."

Zhang Yizi was moved by what Duger said. He licked his lips again: "Is it okay? Cao Lin won't kill me, will he?"

"Yizhi, you know me well." Doug reached out and patted Zhang Yizhi on the shoulder. "Think about the ending of those who got along with me, and then think about the ending of those who went against me. Believe in yourself, and believe in me."

This sentence seemed to give Zhang Yizhi infinite confidence, and he straightened up suddenly: "Brother Du, I will follow your arrangements."

"What do you mean by arrangement? That's cooperation." Doug smiled, "Also, call me Imperial Master from now on."

"Yes." Zhang Yizhi nodded and looked at Doug. "Emperor Master, can I know what your attribute is?"

Doug looked back at Luo Shuang, pulled out the cane from behind, and said with a smile: "Torture."

"Torture?"

Zhang Yizi widened his eyes and looked involuntarily at the eight words written on the cane: "Strike the tyrant above and the corrupt officials below", and then he felt endless confusion in his heart.

He couldn't understand how Doug had used torture to create such a big fuss and even got the first place. He and Shi Pingchuan speculated that Doug had keywords like change.

"Yes, torture. So, if I beat you with a cane, don't hate me, because I am increasing my attributes." Doug looked at Zhang Yizi and said seriously, "When the time comes, just cooperate with me."

"Well, I understand." Zhang Yizhi smiled, "When the Imperial Master whips from above, I lift up the top of my head; when the Imperial Master whips from behind, I bend over and lift my hips; when the Imperial Master whips from below, I lift up the soles of my feet..."

When he was following Shi Pingchuan, he was always nervous and felt that there were dangers all around him. But when he decided to follow Doug, his mood suddenly became brighter and even his personality became much more lively.

As for hitting people with canes? The alien warriors have thick skin and strong recovery ability, so a few hits are no different from a few mosquito bites.

"Right, that's what I mean. I knew you knew how to cooperate!" Dug raised his eyebrows and said, "But this is far from enough. Real cooperation means that when I give you a wink, you know who to scold or beat. When I say I want to kill someone, you should understand whether I really want to kill him or just scare him. Every word I say must be harmonious, and everything I do must have a response..."

Luo Shuang's eyes widened as she looked at the whip in Douger's hand and fell into deep thought involuntarily.

“……” Zhang Yizi was stunned.

"Yizhi, there's no rush for these things. This kind of cooperation needs to be gradually adjusted to develop the ultimate tacit understanding." Du Ge smiled and said, "The most urgent task is to deal with Cao Lin's army over there first."

As he spoke, he came to the map and pointed his finger at the widest part of the Linjiang River. "I plan to set the location of the decisive battle in Yangjiang. You go meet Cao Lin and lure him here for any reason..."

Du Ge's confidence infected Zhang Yizhi, and his worries were swept away: "Okay, I will go on this trip and risk my life to lure Cao Lin here."

"Don't risk your life. Think about how I usually do things and use your brain. You have skills and the identity of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It won't be difficult to lure Cao Lin here." Du Ge smiled, "If necessary, reveal your identity as a demon. As long as Cao Lin has an idea, he won't touch you."

"Yes." Zhang Yizhi nodded heavily, "Brother Du, should I leave now?"

"The sooner the better." Doug reached out and patted his shoulder again, saying, "Whether we can win this battle depends entirely on you. You can only succeed, not fail."

Zhang Yizi left with Duger's blessing and mission.

Douge breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at Luo Shuang who had been silent, and said with a smile: "Princess, if you have any questions, please tell me."

"Master, your real name is Duger, right?" Luo Shuang asked, blinking a few times.

"Yes." Doug nodded.

"In your world, you must be a very capable person!" Luo Shuang asked again.

"That's about right!" Doug smiled and said modestly.

"So, there is no such thing as a battle between immortals and demons, right?" Luo Shuang asked, "You are just competing for the so-called ranking?"

"Yes, compete for ranking!" Doug looked up at the sky and said dejectedly, "Immortals and demons are just a disguise for our identities. In the final analysis, we are a group of troubles that cannot control ourselves..."

"Master, you are not a nuisance." Luo Shuang sensed Doug's loneliness, stood up, came to his side, blinked a few times, and said seriously, "If it weren't for you, Luo Shuang would have died long ago. I don't care what your real purpose is, you are Luo Shuang's benefactor. Master wants to compete for the ranking, Luo Shuang tried his best to cooperate, better than Zhang Yizhi."

"Cooperate with me?" Doug looked at Luo Shuang who was standing in front of him and trying her best to comfort her, and shook his head. "You ascending the throne of Qingwu Kingdom is the best cooperation for me."

"Master, when I say cooperation, I mean that your cane can fall on me at any time without any excuse." Luo Shuang's face was as red as an apple. She lowered her head and dared not look at Doug, but her tone was particularly firm. "My status is high enough. If you torture me, you can make Master more powerful. I am willing to be tortured by Master..."

“…”

Doug looked at Luo Shuang in surprise.

What's going on? Are the symptoms of Stockholm syndrome getting worse? What did she hear from the conversation between her and Zhang Yizhi? She 's running too far! Thinking of his skill of following the example of others, Duger couldn't help but shudder and said seriously, "Princess, you don't have to do this. A leader of a country should always pay attention to his image. If you act like this, what will the ministers think of you?"

"Master, I was wrong, please punish me!" Luo Shuang glanced at Doug cunningly, and quickly stretched out her hand with her palm facing up, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Damn! Doug was stunned.

What the hell, if Zhang Yizi had the wisdom of a princess, he would have improved his cooperation a long time ago. Why did he waste more than a month and couldn't even get into the top ten?

Snap! The cane fell into the princess's palm.

Du Ge said: "Princess, no matter what kind of gods, Buddhas, immortals and demons surround you, you must remember to always maintain your original heart. Only in this way can you not be influenced by external things and truly protect your country and govern your country well."

Luo Shuang withdrew his palm, sighed, and said: "So Master, you will leave in the end, right?"

"Maybe, maybe not." Doug said, "Just like Leng Shi before. Before coming here, I didn't know what kind of body I would enter, and after leaving, I didn't know if this body still belonged to me!"

"..." Luo Shuang frowned, "Master, I don't understand."

"You don't need to understand. In fact, there are many things I don't understand right now." Doug looked at her and said, "Luo Shuang, if one day you ascend to the throne and you still want to know the truth, I will tell you.

But doing so will likely bring disaster to your world, and all our efforts today will be reduced to zero. And by then, I may not be able to help you..."

"Okay." Luo Shuang interrupted him before he finished speaking and nodded seriously, "Master, there is no need to explain to me. I choose to know the truth, even if it brings disaster to the world. Although I don't know who Master's enemy is, I will not let Master fight alone..."
