"People's minds are settled, and their foundations are gradually stabilized..."

Above the sky, a strange black bird spread its wings and invaded the airspace of Youshan Prefecture, with a Taoist carrying a back.

The huge Youshan Mansion City is still shocking to look down from a high altitude. The towering city walls, horizontal and vertical streets, and black dots the size of ants on it... Everything shows that the city has completely escaped from the haze of war, and even the people have begun to think about it.

The common people are most following the trend. Whether it is Liu Yan before, Fang Yuan now, or Wu Guo, they should still farm and pay taxes.

If you can let go and give some benevolent politics, you will be immediately praised by saints.

At this time, Fang Yuan showed his ability to expel Wu Kingdom, and naturally he gradually gained recognition, and his authority belonging to the Lord of Youshan Palace was constantly increasing.

The Taoist sighed, knowing that his master's plan might be a waste, and then thinking of the other party's unpredictable methods and age, he felt even more at a loss.

At this time, there was a hustle and bustle below, and there were obviously figures on the big bird.

"Chirp!"

Just as the Taoist showed a hint of reserve, a white shadow suddenly flew out of the city lord's mansion, making a long sound, blocking the black bird.

"What a spirit bird!"

Feeling the tension of the black bird under his seat, the Taoist smiled bitterly: "With this bird here, the sky above Youshan Prefecture City can be safe, and I will find it difficult to do whatever I want in the future!"

"Don't worry, I have an old age with your master. I'm not here to start a war this time, so let's go!"

The Taoist said to the Red-Eyed White Bird King, patted the black bird's head again, and immediately landed slowly under the escort of the other party.

"Haha... Is it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? Brother Mu Li, you lied to me so hard!"

In front of the city lord's mansion, Fang Yuan wore a golden crown on his head, stood tall with a jade-like body, and a dragon-shaped brocade robe tattooed on his body swaying and shining brightly, and he specially welcomed him out.

"The Lord of the Mansion is joking! Besides, you are not hiding it so hard for the old Taoist to hide it?"

Seeing this, the Taoist smiled even more bitterly.

This person is naturally Liu Yan's friend before, and is actually Taoist Mu Li in the dark room of the Xia royal family.

"You and I have their own difficulties in the past, so let's expose it! The Taoist is a rare guest, so please come in to serve tea!"

Fang Yuan smiled and waved his hand.

He had no friendship with Liu Yan. Although the death of the former head of the mansion, Taoist Mu Li had to pay at least 30% of the responsibility, it was not his business.

Moreover, the other party was an envoy representing the Xia royal family at this time, so he had already transferred Niu Dingtian and other people who might have conflicts. There was no trouble all the way along.

"Then I'm disrespectful!"

Taoist Mu Li bowed his head again and looked at the Red-eyed White Bird King, and was envious again: "This bird is extraordinary and the lord of the palace adds another big arm to help!"

Although he hid his identity and was in the dark, his love for spiritual birds was not fake.

Unfortunately, the Fengfeng Chasing Falcon had already fallen in Xiayang Mansion. With the help of the Xia royal family, he finally found this alien black bird. It was a compensation, but it was not even as good as the Fengfeng Chasing Falcon. At this time, when he saw the Red-eyed White Bird King, who was even better than the Iron Feather Black Hawk, he simply buried his head deeply, like a quail ostrich, which was really obvious.

"Just by chance!"

Fang Yuan smiled and came to the living room with Taoist Mu Li. The two maids served Tancha and left respectfully.

"well……"

Taoist Mu Li raised the teacup and looked at the spiritual tea. He suddenly felt a little bit of a change in his heart.

"At this time, the Taoist priest must be the representative of King Xia. I thank you in advance!"

Fang Yuan hugged his fists slightly.

He wrote a letter to ease his relationship before, but Xie Lingyun and Lan Xiaosheng didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters of Youshan Mansion. They were both confused and had nothing to do with each other.

But in their opinion, Youshan Mansion was completely useless in front of the Wu Kingdom army, and it was only a matter of time before it was defeated.

Unexpectedly, in the battle of Cangshan City, Fang Yuan defeated 100,000 with 20,000 yuan, and defeated the Wu Kingdom with a great reputation. He also made a hundred-year agreement and consolidated his power and position. Naturally, he continued to send envoys to negotiate.

However, at this time, with the lessons of the Wu Kingdom, they were given ten more courage and did not dare to attack alone. Instead, they had to nervously attack Xia Yang, Qingquan, and even the Xia royal family.

"It belongs to a country, don't be polite!"

When Taoist Mu Li talked about serious matters, his face became solemn.

"I don't know what the messenger is coming?"

Fang Yuan asked a question directly.

With the Wu Kingdom's letter there, I believe that even if Fang Yuan wanted to continue to return to the Xia Kingdom sequence, Xie Lingyun might not be willing to take over, otherwise the reputation of the king would be completely ruined.

Of course, it was also extremely good news for her to see that Wu Kingdom could not annex Youshan Mansion.

"What our princess means is that since Youshan Mansion is self-reliant and self-reliant, that is a great thing. Even if the Lord of the Mansion wants to establish the country, our Xia Kingdom will definitely support it..."

Taoist Mu Li smiled and said authentically.

"oh!"

Fang Yuan sneered: "That is to draw out my Youshan Mansion separately and use it as a buffer between Xia and Wu countries? And you have to shoulder the important task of surveillance and defense against Wu countries for you?"

Taoist Mu Li's heart sank.

Because this time, the princess came here and asked for a life, which basically means this.

If Youshan Prefecture confronts Wu Kingdom, Xia Kingdom can provide support from the rear and maintain this situation.

After all, the royal family had already taken back half of Xiayang Mansion at this time. If they were able to rest, they could indeed recover slowly and try to solve Qingquan Mansion.

But I didn't expect that this young mansion owner had extraordinary vision and saw this immediately, and even made it unceremoniously.

"The Lord of the Mansion is quick to speak, that's what it means!"

Taoist Mu Li nodded. After all, he was also a spiritual scholar. Seeing Fang Yuan like this, his speech became very straightforward: "To celebrate the ascension of the Lord of the Mansion, the princess also prepared a heavy gift, and she was already on the way!"

‘Strong outside and do it at the same time!’

When Fang Yuan heard Taoist Mu Li admit it, he smiled again. He knew that Xie Lingyun was afraid of death and sent troops to Xiayang Mansion to destroy the great situation she had finally cleaned up.

Not only him, but even Lan Xiaosheng, the lord of Qingquan Mansion, probably had ordinary thoughts.

'If I force myself to intervene at this time, the two families might really want to unite, and even bring Wu Kingdom to deal with me. If I take a step back, Lan Xiaosheng will definitely turn against the Xia royal family...'

These kinds of calculations have been precedents in historical books, so Fang Yuan, who has been a human being for two lifetimes, will naturally not be confused.

I immediately smiled slightly: "Since that's the case, I will thank the princess for helping me... Youshan is broken, and I have no idea about military wars recently. But you and I can get closer!"

"That's true! That's true!"

Taoist Mu Li was overjoyed and immediately realized the meaning of Fang Yuan's words, and he was as if he had put Youshan Prefecture and Xia Kingdom side by side, and was extremely arrogant and couldn't help but feel sad again.

...

"There is not much time left for me..."

After sending the Taoist Mu Li to Taoist, Fang Yuan lowered his eyelids and his eyes suddenly became deeper.

This battle of Youshan won beautiful things, but its fundamental strength was not exposed, but even so, it was enough to arouse fear from all parties.

After the situation is slightly stable, all kinds of temptations will attract secret spies, and secret spies will inevitably come one after another, extremely chaotic and annoying.

Not only that, once it is confirmed that he is the second Liu Yan, joint killing and other things will inevitably be indispensable.

Although Fang Yuan was not afraid, he was too lazy to fight with the other party.

"Why don't you just decentralize power, I'll be free in the outside world!"

Although the position of the Lord of Youshan Palace is very powerful, it is also a target. Once you are obsessed with power, you will be immediately fixed and you can only deal with it passively.

Fang Yuan was preparing to live in seclusion for a period of time to turn passive into activeness.

As for being reluctant to give up power?

Not to mention that he is not such a person at all, the key is that his own strength has reached and his power is just an item that comes with it.

So what if he is divided into power to his subordinates? Who can take away his own strength? Not to mention that he is also in charge of the great power. Even if he jumps out without opening his eyes, he will just crush the ant to death.

Even if the mountains come out, the outside is overturned, with a strong cultivation and the ability to control strange flowers and plants, where can't we open up the situation?

In Fang Yuan, the so-called Lord of Youshan Palace is also something that can be abandoned as if it is worn out at any time.

Do it when you think about it!

However, before leaving, you might as well prepare for some things early.

"Master Lord! Please see me!"

Outside, Yuxinlou and Huangfu Renhe were holding many ancient scrolls and respectfully sought to see each other.

"Come in!"

Fang Yuan shook his head secretly.

Since he succeeded as the head of the mansion, these original subordinates have become more respectful, and they are simply trembling and more, making him feel a little cold.

"Sir, we are ordered to organize the collection of books in the treasury and collect them from many sources. The maps of Xia Kingdom and nearby Wu Kingdom, Zhu Kingdom... and even the Yuanrong Grassland are all here!"

"Um!"

Fang Yuan picked up a roll casually. The map was made of good parchment paper, soaked in potions, preventing insects and moths. Even so, dark mold marks appeared on the edges.

Although these maps were drawn by predecessors and were a bit distorted, they should be pretty good.

He opened the general map first, and a triangular continent immediately came into his eyes.

On this continent, the mark of Xia Kingdom is very conspicuous. It is located in the center and next to it is Wu Kingdom. The territory is nearly half larger than that. These two occupy four or five of the continent. Next to it are Zhu, Yan, and other small countries. Except for Zhu Kingdom, it is not much better than Youshan Prefecture, and it is full of the flavor of a small country with few people.

"The sea on these three sides is called "Abyss" in historical books. The legend is endless, without boundaries, and there are few creatures..."

Fang Yuan's eyes crossed the continent and came to the northernmost part of the map, looking at a vast grassland.

"This is the Yuanrong grassland, with the Yuan Kingdom, which is built by bows and horses, and the people live with water and grass..."

"To go to the Daqian Empire, you must cross the grassland, this is the only way!"
