Back at the mansion, Lu Fan's mind was full of her.

Looking at the jade ring in his hand, after a little exploration, he knew the situation inside, there was a cage inside, and all kinds of beginner-level spirits were in it, but Lu Fan also knew that these spirits were a little out of the stream.

After all, no matter how you say it, Ji Yuyu's cultivation is there, she is just a monk in the early stage of Yudan, and all she can capture is an uncivilized low-level little elf.

In other words, these spirits will have to be released regularly to forage for food in the future!

Maybe these unpopular spirits will become docile in front of the feathered wolf, a demon beast, so that Lu Fan can also have a lot less unnecessary trouble.

In this world, the treasures of the storage space are extremely rare, because a small object has a huge space inside, which is both precious and a symbol of status.

However, things like storage bags are not very precious because they are large in size and do not contain a lot of space in them.

And this jade ring is like this storage bag, although it is also precious, but it has not yet reached the point of making the monk's eyes red, all because the refining method of this kind of thing has not been lost.

It is not a space magic weapon, but a forbidden treasure, and the level of the forbidden spirit is also relatively low, and it can only ban low-level spirits.

Lu Fan knew that the spirits forbidden by the jade ring were all among the mountains not far from the Shuai Mansion!

···

Half a year later, the various spirits in the north no longer make trouble.

On the contrary, with the help of the spirit, Lu Fan reached an agreement with the more powerful demon, and the two sides no longer violated each other, and they were at peace with each other.

As for the more powerful demon beasts, they have already been civilized, and they will not cause trouble in the world! This is an ancient convention by default.

Demon beasts generally have to go through a long period of cultivation, and ordinary spirit demon beasts do not leave the cultivation place.

But half a year ago, a demon beast of the Yudan level suddenly appeared and came to Lu Fan's mansion.

But what Lu Fan didn't expect was that this demon beast was a charm transformation that Lu Fan discovered when he was serving in Qinggang Mansion a long time ago, but Lu Fan had given it a favor at that time, but unexpectedly, by chance, this spirit had gained a great immortal fate, and it became a demon pill in a few years, that is, it reached the realm of human knots.

This is something that other Essence Cultivation Hundred Years cannot achieve.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Fan was able to reach a peace agreement with most of the spirits in the territory under its guidance, and the northern country has now become the most peaceful land on this continent, without the invasion of demon beasts and the invasion of enemies.

At the same time, the island nation had occupied large swathes of the empire, and several states had fallen.

However, Wei Ruozhang was different from usual at the moment, and he dispatched troops to fight the enemy together with the imperial army, and as Wei Guo took the lead, the princes from all over the country also sent more or less troops to support the empire.

Although there are many internal strife within the empire and strong forces outside, this small island country has even connected several states of the empire and a large territory has fallen, which makes it unbearable for the princes and kings who claim to be the Celestial Empire.

Lu Fan also sent 50,000 iron cavalry south, no more, no less, equal to the strength of the country.

For a time, the major princes gathered 300,000 royal divisions and marched eastward.

The alliance of the major princes has an army of 300,000, and for such a major matter, Emperor Yu did not show up, and he did not say anything.

Of course, even if he says something, whether the princes will listen to each other or not has to say another matter.

And about the emperor's physical condition, not only Lu Fan, but also the major princes have doubts, although it is nominally expelling the Japanese invaders, but it is preparing for the future to compete in the world.

Before Lu Fan sent troops south, there was a fierce argument in the Lu Mansion, and that night, Lu Fan found that many people's thoughts were different from his own.

That night, Lu Fan knew that as the northern kingdom under his jurisdiction became bigger and bigger, and the military strength became stronger and stronger, whether Lu Fan wanted it or not, it was impossible to submit to the command of King Yu after all.

And that night, the advice of the people in the chamber illustrates that.

It is impossible for the northern kingdom to stick to one domain, but to look at the world.

Originally, Lu Fan just wanted to hold a pre-departure meeting in the Shuaifu, but unexpectedly, in addition to the people in the Lu Mansion, there were also henchmen and generals in the army who intended the entire empire.

Although the Lu family's self-reliance in the northern country has been a fact for a long time, it has always been tacitly understood, and the same is true in the army.

Although the northern kingdom once became independent, Lu Fan did not really establish himself as a king.

But that night, all the generals knelt down and asked Lu Fan to establish himself as King Jing.

Respect the first emperor as orthodox, the empire was in trouble, and recruited the heroes of the empire to fight outside and at home, drive the Tartars to the barbarians, and chase the Japanese bandits.

At a time when the empire is in crisis, the empire is brought back to orthodoxy.

But if Lu Fan really did this, he would have done it a long time ago, and the consequences of doing so would be scolded by Confucian scholars as a national thief.

But at that moment, although the generals were jointly elected as kings, they were not justified.

And it will be crusaded against by other forces in the empire, such a big thing, Lu Fan didn't even get the slightest news in advance.

Lu Fan knew that there must be the participation of his most trusted people, causing everyone to think that Lu Fan secretly instructed him!

Looking at Liu Yan Yuying and An Liya's expressions, they were not surprised at all, obviously they knew about it in advance, and even planned the whole thing directly.

The two of them said on the side, only Lu Shuai did not know the sky in the place, and everywhere they said Lu Shuai's virtue and the mediocrity of the empire.

And several children are either talking yes or silent on the side.

And what surprised Lu Fan the most was Lu Ying, Lu Ying not only did not oppose everyone's proposal, but put forward the old saying: The affairs of the world are divided and combined! So it is an opportunity to 'compete for deer'. Although the people are bitter in the rise and fall, the people are willing to be dogs in the prosperous times, not for the troubled world. And those in power, those who seek greatness, are nothing more than a world, and this world is a world of peace, a world of ruins waiting to be rebuilt, not a decadent country...

In the eyes of everyone, Lu Fan seems to see that the desire for power is growing and flowering!

The heir is unwilling to be the son of the world and wants to compete with the world.

And the wife and concubine do not want to be the wife, intending to the latter.

The generals are even more unwilling to be generals of the country, and intend to be the generals of the country!

The Northern Kingdom was the fortress of the northern and eastern parts of the empire.

With the passage of time, the huge institution of the Lu Mansion no longer needs Lu Fan's protection, but something else.

Maybe Liu Yan Yuying and An Liya have no desire for power, but they have children, and they are grown up children.

At this moment, Lu Fan found that Lu Meng, who had never noticed, had begun to have a certain bearing, and they were all changing, constantly changing.

Although the Great Merchants fell apart, they were always there, and this time they wanted to deal a final blow to the already fragile empire.

···

The next day, while the iron cavalry marched south, 30,000 private troops of the princes of the two places in the south were recruited.

This was almost the entire force of the territory, and soon all the idle administrative officials in the area were in other positions, but all sides were silent about the transferred officials.

However, Lu Fan is not only the monarch of the northern kingdom, but also the nominal military commander of the entire empire, the grand duke of the empire, and the minister of auxiliary states.

Since he has the heart to chase the deer, then Lu Fan will pave the way for the latter, make the road of Lu Fu better, and remove all stumbling blocks as soon as possible.

Whether it is honor or disgrace, accept it calmly, so that the children's road to becoming an emperor is smoother.

Lu Fan didn't have much affection for the court of the Great Shang, let alone others.

At the same time, there have also been some intriguing changes in the northern kingdom, and all the laws and regulations in the northern kingdom are no longer the 'Great Shang Northern Region Decree', but renamed the 'Great Shang Northern Kingdom Decree'.

In the northern country, whether it is the army or the locality, Lu Fan is not only handsome, but also a handsome!

It's just that all of this is a claim to the outside world, and the change is only quietly underway.

For those who have a heart, they can see it at a glance, but they don't put it on the surface.

This change immediately caused a lot of turmoil in the northern country, but in an instant, everything was dull.

Only the intelligence and killer organizations of the Northland know about the blood that flows under this calm.

But among the people outside the northern country, Lu Fan was passed on as a national thief from the original name of virtue. The biggest national thief in a hundred years!

Information from all over the country poured in, and Lu Fan looked at the information coming from everywhere and was silent.

There was more than one wave of fluctuations, and verbal and written criticism was indispensable, but the ensuing trend of self-reliance was the most serious since the turmoil of the empire.

There are even a few thousand people who gather on the top of the mountain and set themselves up as kings.

Hundreds of people stand on their own!

Absurdities are everywhere.

But the infamy is all attributed to Lu Fan, the initiator!
