Chapter 156 Map (2000 Supplement)

"People's mind is fixed, and the foundation gradually stabilizes..."

Ten thousand feet above the sky, a black bird of a different species spread its wings and brazenly invaded the airspace of Youshan Mansion, with a Taoist on its back.

The huge Youshanfu City is still shocking when viewed from a high altitude. The towering city walls, the horizontal and vertical streets, and the black spots the size of ants... everything shows that this city has completely broken away from the city. The haze of war, even the hearts of the people began to settle down.

Xiaomin is the most follower, whether it is Liu Yan before, Fang Yuan now, or Wu Guolai, it is still time to farm and pay taxes.

If he could let go a little bit and give some benevolent government, he would immediately be praised like a saint.

Now that Fang Yuan has shown the ability to expel the Wu Kingdom, he has gradually gained recognition, and the authority belonging to the Palace Master of Youshan is constantly increasing.

The Taoist sighed, knowing that his master's scheme might be in vain, and when he thought of the other party's unpredictable means and age, he felt even more hopeless.

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 trace of reserve, a white shadow suddenly flew out from the city lord's mansion, and stopped in front of the black bird with a long cry.

"What a spirit bird!"

Feeling the tension of the black bird under his seat, the Taoist smiled wryly: "With this bird here, the sky above Youshanfu City will be safe, and the poor Taoist will not be able to do whatever he wants in the future!"

"Don't worry, I have an old relationship with your master, and I didn't come to fight this time, so let's go!"

The Taoist said to the red-eyed white bird king, then patted the black bird on the head, and immediately landed slowly under the escort of the other party.

"Haha... Is it such a joy to have friends coming from afar? Daoist Mu Li, you have deceived me so much!"

In front of the city lord's mansion, Fang Yuan, wearing a golden crown on his head, standing tall and standing tall, with a swaying brocade robe with a horned dragon tattooed on his body, specially greeted him.

"Palace Master is joking! Besides, you have been trying to hide it from the old Taoist?"

Seeing this, the Taoist smiled even more wryly.

This person, of course, was Liu Yan's friend before, and he was actually the Taoist Muli in the secret room of the Xia royal family.

"You and I have different reasons for the previous matter, so let's expose it! The Taoist is a rare guest, please come in and serve tea!"

Fang Yuan smiled and waved his hands.

He didn't have much friendship with Liu Yan. Although Taoist Mu Li had to pay at least 30% of the responsibility for the death of the former palace master, it was none of his business.

And the other party was still an envoy representing the Xia royal family at this time, so Niu Dingtian and other people who might have conflicts had been transferred away long ago, and there was no trouble along the way.

"That would be disrespectful!"

Taoist Muli bowed his head again, looked at the red-eyed white bird king, envious again: "This bird is extraordinary, and the palace master has added a big helping hand!"

Although he concealed his identity and worked in the dark, his love for spirit birds is not fake.

It's a pity that the former Chasing Falcon had already fallen in Xiayang Mansion. With the help of Xia's royal family, it was hard to find this black bird. The red-eyed white bird king with black hawk feathers simply buried his head deeply, like a quail ostrich, really showing his superiority and inferiority.

"It's just a coincidence!"

Fang Yuan smiled, and Taoist Muli came to the living room, the two maidservants served Tan tea and retreated respectfully.

"well……"

Taoist Muli raised the teacup, looked at the spiritual tea, and suddenly felt a little bit of right and wrong in his heart.

"At this moment, the Taoist priest must be representing Xia Wang's daughter, and I thank you in advance!"

Fang Yuan cupped his fists slightly.

Before he wrote a letter to ease the relationship, Xie Lingyun and Lan Xiaosheng also did not want to get involved in the muddy waters of Youshan Mansion, they both muddled through each other, but they lived in peace.

It's just that in their view, Youshan Mansion has no way to recover in front of Wu Guo's army, and it's only a matter of time before they lose.

Unexpectedly, in the battle of Cangshan City, Fang Yuan broke Wu Kingdom with 20,000 to 100,000, and his prestige was greatly boosted. He also made a hundred-year agreement, and his power was consolidated. Naturally, he continued to send envoys to negotiate.

But at this time, with the lessons learned from the Wu Kingdom, they would not dare to attack alone even if they had ten guts. On the contrary, Fang Yuan was nervous about attacking Xia Yang, Qingquan, and even the Xia royal family.

"This is a country, so you don't have to be polite!"

Taoist Muli's face became solemn when he talked about the business.

"I don't know why the messenger came, so why?"

Fang Yuan asked directly.

With the book of the Kingdom of Wu there, even if Fang Yuan wants to continue to return to the sequence of the Xia Kingdom, Xie Lingyun may not be willing to take over, otherwise the reputation of the monarch will be completely ruined.

Of course, it is also very good news for her to see that Wu Kingdom cannot annex Youshan Mansion.

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

Taoist Muli smiled authentically.

"oh!"

Fang Yuan sneered: "That is to set aside my Youshan Mansion as a buffer between Xia and Wu? And shoulder the important task of monitoring and defending Wu for you?"

Taoist Muli's heart sank.

Because this time when she came here, the queen gave her orders, which basically meant that.

Let Youshan Mansion confront Wu State, Xia State can provide support in the rear, and it will be good if this situation can be maintained.

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

It's just that he didn't expect that the young mansion master had such good eyesight that he saw this immediately, and even announced it unceremoniously.

"My lord, speak quickly, that's what it means!"

Taoist Muli nodded. He is also a spirit man after all. Seeing Fang Yuan like this, he became very straightforward in his speech: "To celebrate the ascension of the Palace Master, the princess has prepared a great gift, and he is already on his way!"

'Strong outside but dry in the middle! '

Hearing Taoist Muli's confession, Fang Yuan smiled again, knowing that Xie Lingyun at this time must be afraid of death by sending troops to Xiayang Mansion and ruining the good situation she had managed to clean up.

Not only him, but even Lan Xiaosheng, the head of the Qingquan Mansion, may have the same idea.

'If I intervene forcefully at this time, the two of them might really want to unite, and even bring Wu Kingdom to deal with me. If I take a step back, Lan Xiaosheng will most likely turn against Xia's royal family...'

There are precedents in the history books for such calculations, and Fang Yuan, who has been a man for two lifetimes, will naturally not be confused.

Immediately smiled slightly: "In this case, the government would like to thank the princess for her success... Youshan is broken, and there is no thought of fighting any more recently, but you and I can get closer!"

"Exactly! Exactly!"

Taoist Muli was overjoyed, and immediately realized the meaning of Fang Yuan's words, as if juxtaposing Youshan Mansion and Xia Kingdom, he was extremely arrogant, but he couldn't help feeling sad.

...

"The time left for me is running out..."

After dismissing Taoist Zou Muli, Fang Yuan lowered his eyelids, and his eyes suddenly became dark.

This battle of Youshan was a good victory without revealing his fundamental strength, but even so, it was enough to arouse the fear of all parties.

After the situation stabilizes slightly, all kinds of temptations and secret spies will inevitably follow one after another, which is extremely chaotic and annoying.

Not only that, once it is determined that he is the second Liu Yan, joint suppression and killings will inevitably be indispensable.

Although Fang Yuan was not afraid, he was also too lazy to confront each other.

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

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

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

As for not wanting power?

Not to mention that he is not such a person at all, the key is that his own strength has arrived, and power is nothing more than an accompanying item.

So what if power is delegated to subordinates? Who can take away his own strength? Not to mention that he still holds the righteousness, even if there are those who jump out blindly, they are just ants that are crushed to death.

Even after Shenshan came out, the outside world was turned upside down, with a body of cultivation and the ability to manipulate exotic flowers and plants, where can't the situation be opened?

The so-called Youshan Mansion Master, to Fang Yuan, is also something that can be discarded at any time.

Think and do it!

However, before leaving, some things may wish to prepare early.

"My lord, my subordinates, please see me!"

Outside, Yuxinlou and Huangfu Renhe held many ancient scrolls and respectfully begged for an audience.

"come in!"

Fang Yuan shook his head secretly.

Since he took over as Palace Master, these former subordinates have become more respectful, almost trembling, and more serious, which makes him feel a little bit overwhelmed.

"My lord, we have been ordered to sort out the books in the treasury and collect them from various sources. The maps of Xia Kingdom and nearby Wu Kingdom, Zhu Kingdom... and even the Yuanrong Prairie are all here!"

"Um!"

Fang Yuan picked up a roll at random. This map was made of high-quality parchment paper, soaked in potion, to prevent insects and moths. Even so, black spots and mold marks appeared on the edges.

Although these maps were drawn by predecessors, it is somewhat distorted, but generally speaking, they should not be bad.

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

On this continent, the logo of Xia Kingdom is very conspicuous. It is located in the center, and next to it is Wu Kingdom, whose territory is nearly half larger than it. Zhu, Yan, Qi and other small countries, except that Zhu State is slightly larger, are not much better than Youshan Mansion, full of the taste of a small country with few people.

"The sea on these three sides is called 'Abyss' in the history books. Legend has it that it is endless, has no boundaries, and even has very few living beings..."

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

"This is the Yuanrong prairie. There is the Yuan Kingdom. The country is built with bows and horses. The people live after water and grass..."

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

Fang Yuan looked at the map, his eyes brightened.
