Upon seeing Lin Qing standing there with a sword in her hand and her clothes fluttering in the wind, a sense of unparalleled vicissitudes of life emanated from her body.

Affected by this atmosphere, Huang Shan's expression became serious. He bowed with both hands and said, "Your subordinate has discovered a lot of corpses along the way. I don't know …"

Lin Qing's eyes were calm with traces of indifference as she glanced at Huang Shan. After a long while, she finally said, "Yesterday, an assassin snuck in. Although he did not manage to get revenge in my hands, the outsiders have met with an unexpected calamity!"

When Huang Shan heard this, although he had already expected it, his heart still trembled uncontrollably. Seeing the calm and emotionless expression in Lin Qing's eyes, Huang Shan quickly withdrew the shock in his heart, carrying a trace of fear.

"It was all because of your subordinate's incompetence that caused the Branch Lord to be frightened," Huang Shan quickly knelt down and said as he lowered his head.

Looking at the mountain kneeling before him, Lin Qing knew in her heart that this was just an attitude.

Even though strength was respected in the mafia, there was no such rule after all. Brotherhood still existed in the hearts of most people, and it was impossible for them to kneel down without any hesitation.

Huang Shan's actions were definitely not because of the rules, but rather, it was an attitude of submission and loyalty.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing unconsciously lowered her head and walked towards Huang Shan. She lifted both her hands and pulled Huang Shan up.

"There is no need to be like this, this matter has nothing to do with you, I have already seen your loyalty. Next time, there is no need to be so humble in front of me."

"Yes, Branch Lord." Although it was due to benefits or the feeling of the weak submitting to the strong from the very beginning, Lin Qing's concern made her feel touched to have a soldier die for the one who knows them.

Of course, if Lin Qing didn't have a very powerful strength at the start of the battle and had such an attitude, not only would she not receive Huang Shan's gratitude, it would instead make people feel that he was a fake.

When Lin Qing had won a great victory, she had killed Bai Qi, defeated Lin Danzi, and defeated Wu Yan. Her strength was already sufficient proof of Lin Qing's ability, and every move of hers had always involved the hearts of many people. Today, Lin Qing had won over Huang Shan.

Where you are, your every move will have a different effect. After these few years of training, Lin Qing gradually understood.

Just like Lin Qing herself, before she became a talented warrior, she would stand up straight in front of the Tiger Gang Leader Ye Liangchen and the Deputy Sect Master Zhao Hu. For example, before she became a talented warrior, she herself would stand up straight in front of the Tiger Gang Leader Ye Liangchen and the Deputy Sect Leader Zhao Hu.

Of course, Lin Qing was not proficient in any of these things. However, even though she was not proficient in them, it did not mean that Lin Qing knew nothing.

Although Huang Shan's current strength was of no use to him, did Lin Qing care about these things? The answer was one that obviously did not care.

The first was that he wanted money and bones for an outsider to see. He wanted to let everyone in Red Leaf Town know that as long as they were loyal to him, the rewards they would get would definitely be greater than they had imagined. Huang Shan was their role model.

The other reason was that Lin Qing had just arrived at Red Leaf Town and had hurriedly assumed the position of Red Leaf Town's Branch Lord. With such a short period of time, she had no idea what was going on in Red Leaf Town.

In order to truly control the Tiger Gang's influence in Red Leaf Town, it was obviously impossible to do it alone. This required Lin Qing to have a trusted subordinate, which did not require much ability, but required loyalty. Of course, it would be better if his ability was better, and Huang Shan clearly complied with this rule.

"How is the task I assigned to you yesterday done?" Looking at the moved expression on Huang Shan's face, Lin Qing felt very satisfied in her heart. Her hand lightly patted Huang Shan's shoulder as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing had more or less understood the outcome, but Lin Qing did not say anything more and only quietly waited for Huang Shan's reply. Lin Qing needed an explanation, she needed to establish her authority and establish a letter, only then would she be able to maintain her dignity and maintain her loyalty for a long time. Only when the rewards and penalties were clear would one be able to convince others. This, however, required a rule.

Although he was prepared to cultivate Huang Shan to be his trusted aide, he would never give Huang Shan unlimited power. If he didn't do what he had promised and didn't have a good reason to do it, Lin Qing's methods would not be pleasant.

"Helmsman Qi, after we go back, your subordinate will go and make the arrangements. It's just that your subordinate has failed and caused some trouble." Huang Shan's face carried a trace of awkwardness, as well as a sense of embarrassment and annoyance.

With that, Huang Shan could not help but raise his head to look at Lin Qing. Seeing that Lin Qing's expression was calm, but not angry, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief as he continued speaking.

"After we go back, I will immediately issue the Branch Lord's decree. However, there are too many brothers who have been deceived by the appearance of the Vice Division Lord, and they basically do not believe that the Vice Division Lord Wu Yan would betray the Tiger Gang. Furthermore, some people think that I am just passing down the decree of the Branch Lord …" Speaking up to here, Huang Shan was gritting his teeth, and one could imagine the outcome of Huang Shan being questioned by the crowd.

After all, it was his first time here, and although he had taken Wu Yanliwei's position on the first day, the prestige of Wu Yan was not very deep, and since Wu Yan was able to become the deputy chief of the Red Leaf Town's Tiger Gang for so many years, he must be quite powerful, not to mention that in these few years in the Red Leaf Town, it was impossible for Wu Yan to not have a trusted confidant. All of this, when Huang Shan announced that Lin Qing wanted to kill Wu Yan, he would definitely obstruct him.

Thinking to this point, Lin Qing also sighed in her heart. After all, her foundation was shallow, and she obviously didn't have much of a foundation in the Red Leaf Town's Tiger Gang, and her own strength had yet to be spread out.

Of course, this was also related to Huang Shan's prestige. Although with his own authority, he was able to give Huang Shan the right to speak with the powerful figures of the Red Leaf Town's Tiger Gang, but his position was too short and his position was too low before, so what he said was not convincing.

"If that's the case, then it's not entirely your fault." Although she knew the reason, she couldn't simply let go of the things she had said without having completed them. She slowly started from one thing to another, and the methods of rewards and punishments had to be followed.
