"People's hearts are determined, and the foundation is gradually stable......"

Thousands of feet in the sky, a different species of blackbird spread its wings and brazenly invaded the airspace of Youshan Mansion, carrying a Taoist on its back.

The sprawling secluded castle is still impressive when viewed from above, with its towering walls, horizontal and vertical streets, and ant-sized black dots on it...... All of this shows that the city has completely escaped the haze of war, and even the people's hearts have begun to settle down.

Xiaomin is the most ethereal, whether it is Liu Yan before, Fang Yuan now, or Wu Guolai, they should still farm and farm, and they should pay taxes and taxes.

If you can let go a little and give some benevolence, you will immediately be praised by a saint.

At this time, since Fang Yuan had shown the ability to expel the Martial Kingdom away, he had naturally gradually gained recognition, and the authority of the lord of the Youshan Mansion was constantly increasing.

The Taoist sighed, knowing that his master's plan might have to be in vain, and then thinking of the other party's unpredictable methods and age, he was even more bottomless.

At this time, there was a commotion below, and it was obvious that the figure on the big bird was also found.

"Chirp!"

Just when the Taoist showed a hint of reserve, a white shadow suddenly flew out of the City Lord's Mansion, with a long roar, and stopped in front of the black bird.

"What a spirit bird!"

Feeling the nervousness of the blackbird under the seat, the corner of the Taoist's mouth showed a wry smile: "With this bird, the sky above Youshan Mansion City can also be safe, and it will be difficult for the poor Dao to do what he wants in the future!" ”

"Don't worry, I have an old relationship with your master, and I am not here to start a war this time, so I will go down!"

The Taoist said to the red-eyed and white-bird king, patted the blackbird's head again, and suddenly landed slowly under the escort of the other party.

"Haha...... Have friends come from afar, are you happy? Brother Muli Dao, you deceived me so hard! ”

In front of the City Lord's Mansion, Fang Yuan was wearing a golden crown, his long body was jade, and a brocade robe with a dragon tattooed on his body was swaying and shining, and he specially greeted him.

"The lord of the mansion laughed! Besides, aren't you hiding your old ways? ”

Seeing this, the Taoist smiled even more bitterly on his face.

This person is naturally Liu Yan's friend before, and he is actually a Mu Lidao person in the secret of the Xia royal family.

"You and I have our own troubles about the past, so let's reveal it! The Taoist is a rare guest, and please come in to serve tea! ”

Fang Yuan smiled and waved his hand.

He didn't have much friendship with Liu Yan, although the death of the previous mansion master, this Mu Lidao had to pay at least thirty percent of the responsibility, but it was none of his business.

And the other party was still a messenger on behalf of the Xia royal family at this time, so he had already transferred Niu Dingtian and other people who might have conflicts, and there was no trouble all the way over.

"That's disrespectful!"

Mu Lidao saluted again, looked at the red-eyed and white-bird king, and was envious: "This bird is extraordinary, and the mansion master has added a big arm to help!" ”

Although he hid his identity and did something secret, his love for spirit birds was not fake.

It's a pity that the previous Wind Chasing Falcon has fallen in Xia Yang Mansion, relying on the help of the Xia royal family, it is not easy to find this different species of black bird, which is considered a compensation, but it is not even comparable to the Wind Chasing Falcon.

"It's just a coincidence!"

Fang Yuan smiled, and came to the living room with Mu Lidao, and the two maids served tea and retreated respectfully.

"Alas......"

Mu Lidao raised the teacup, looked at this spiritual tea, and suddenly felt a little bit of emotion in his heart.

"At this time, the Taoist chief is coming, it must be on behalf of the princess of Xia, and this mansion is here to thank you in advance!"

Fang Yuan clenched his fists slightly.

Before he wrote a letter to ease the relationship, Xie Lingyun and Lan Xiaosheng also didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters of Youshan Mansion, and they were all in the past, but they were all right.

It's just that in their opinion, Youshan Mansion has no skills to recover in front of the army of the Wu Kingdom, and defeat is only a matter of time.

Unexpectedly, in the battle of Cangshan City, Fang Yuan broke 100,000 with 20,000, defeated the martial country, and his prestige was greatly boosted, and he made a hundred-year covenant, and his power was consolidated, so he naturally continued to send envoys to negotiate.

However, at this time, with the experience of the martial arts, they would not dare to attack alone if they were given ten more dares, but they would be nervous about Fang Yuan's attack on Xia Yang and Qingquan, and even the Xia royal family.

"It's a country, you're welcome!"

When Mu Lidao said business, his face became solemn.

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

Fang Yuan asked directly.

With the Wu Kingdom National Book there, presumably 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 monarch's reputation would be completely ruined.

Of course, seeing that Wu Guo was unable to annex Youshan Mansion was also extremely good news for her.

"What our princess means is that since Youshan Mansion is self-reliant and self-reliant, it is a great thing, even if the lord of the mansion wants to open the country, my Xia Kingdom must be very supportive......"

Mu Lidao said with a smile.

"Oh!"

Fang Yuan sneered: "That is, I want to separate my Youshan Mansion as a buffer between Xia and Wu?" And for you and others to shoulder the heavy responsibility of monitoring and defending the armed states? ”

Mu Lidao's heart sank.

Because of this visit, Wang Nu'er mentioned the face, which is basically what it means.

Let Youshan Mansion confront Wu Guo, and Xia Guo can provide support in the rear, so it is good to maintain this situation.

After all, at this time, the royal family has already recovered half of Xiayang Mansion, and if they can recuperate, they can indeed recover slowly and try to solve Qingquan Mansion again.

It's just that I didn't expect this young man's mansion master to have extraordinary eyesight, and he saw this at once, and even unceremoniously announced it.

"The lord of the mansion is quick to talk, that's what it means!"

Mu Lidao nodded, after all, he was also a spiritual scholar, seeing Fang Yuan like this, his speech became very crisp: "In order to celebrate the enthronement of the lord of the mansion, the princess has also prepared a heavy gift, which is already on the way!" ”

'Strong on the outside and dry on the inside! ’

Hearing Mu Lidaoren's admission, Fang Yuan smiled again in his heart, knowing that Xie Lingyun at this time must be afraid that he would send troops to Xiayang Mansion to death, and ruin the good situation that she had managed to clean up.

Even not only him, but even Lan Xiaosheng, the master of Qingquan Mansion, was probably a general idea.

'If I forcibly intervene at this time, the two of them will really want to unite, and even pull the martial kingdom to deal with me, if I take a step back, Lan Xiaosheng will turn against the Xia royal family......

This kind of calculation has a precedent in the history books, and Fang Yuan, who has been a human being in two lifetimes, will naturally not be confused.

immediately smiled slightly: "Since this is the case, the palace will thank the princess for her success...... The secluded mountain is broken, and there is no idea of fighting anymore recently, but you and I can get closer to each other! ”

"Exactly! Exactly! ”

Mu Lidao was overjoyed, and immediately realized the meaning of Fang Yuan's words, as if he was juxtaposing Youshan Mansion and Xia Kingdom, and he was extremely arrogant, and he couldn't help but be gloomy again.

……

"I don't have much time left......"

After sending the Wood Leaver away, Fang Yuan lowered his eyelids, and his eyes deepened.

This battle of the secluded mountains can be regarded as a beautiful victory, and the fundamental strength has not been exposed, but Rao is so, which is enough to arouse the fear of all parties.

After the situation has stabilized a little, all kinds of temptations and secret spies will inevitably ensue, and they will be extremely chaotic and annoying.

Not only that, once it is determined that he is the second Liu Yan, it will inevitably be indispensable to jointly kill or something.

Although Fang Yuan was not afraid, he didn't bother to meet the other party.

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

Although the position of the lord of the Youshan Mansion is very powerful, it is also a target, once he is obsessed with power, he is immediately fixed, and he can only deal with it passively.

Fang Yuan was preparing to live in seclusion for a period of time, turning passive into active.

As for reluctance to power?

Not to mention that he is not this kind of person at all, the key is that his own strength has arrived, and his power is just an item that comes with it.

What if the power is decentralized? Who can take away his own strength? Not to mention that he still holds the name of righteousness, even if he jumps out without opening his eyes, he is just an ant who is crushed to death.

Even if after coming out of the deep mountains, the outside is turned upside down, with the ability to cultivate and manipulate strange flowers and plants, where can't the situation be opened?

The so-called Youshan Mansion Lord, as far as Fang Yuan is concerned, is also something that can be discarded at any time.

Do what you think!

However, there are some things you might as well prepare before you go.

"Your Excellency! Subordinates ask to see! ”

Outside, Yuxinlou and Huangfu Renhe, holding many ancient scrolls, respectfully asked to see.

"Come in!"

Fang Yuan shook his head secretly.

Since he succeeded as the lord of the mansion, these former subordinates have become more and more respectful, and they are simply trembling, and they are becoming more and more involved, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable in a high place.

"My lord, we were ordered to sort out the collection of books in the treasury and collect them in many ways, Xia Kingdom and nearby Wu Kingdom and Zhu Kingdom...... Even the map of the Yuanrong prairie is already here! ”

"Hmm!"

Fang Yuan picked up a roll at random, this map was made of good parchment paper, soaked in potion, insect and moth-proof, Rao was like this, and a little black spot mildew also appeared on the edge.

Although these maps are all drawn by predecessors, they are inevitably a little distorted, but they should still be generally not bad.

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

On this continent, the mark of the Xia Kingdom is very conspicuous, located in the center, next to it is the Wu Kingdom, the territory is nearly half larger than it, these two occupy four or five tenths of the continent, and there are Zhu, Yan, and other small countries next to it, except that the Zhu State is slightly larger, it is not much better than the Youshan Mansion, and it is full of a taste of a small country and widows.

"The sea on three sides, called 'Yuan' in the history books, has endless legends, has no borders, and even living beings are ......"

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

"This is the Yuanrong prairie, there is the Yuan country, the country is founded by bows and horses, and the people live in water and grass......"

"If you want to go to the Great Qian Empire, you must cross the grassland, this is the only way!"

Fang Yuan looked at the map, his eyes shining.
