From Fang Yuan's point of view, ever since Lu Renjia was annihilated, Liu Yan, the master of Youshan Palace, began to feel inevitably swollen.
In this world, there is also a saying that there will be a peaceful future.
Lu Renjia's rebellion seemed to be a huge impact and harm to Youshan Mansion, but in reality? Because the rebels had just gathered, Lu Renjia and the two sect leaders were killed by Fang Yuan's beheading tactics, and they were immediately defeated. There was no army at all, and the disaster spread throughout the whole government. Ten rooms were empty, and the vitality was damaged. There is no way to talk about it.
Not to mention, taking advantage of the opportunity of subsequent purges and severe crackdowns, Liu Yan aggressively eliminated dissidents and wiped out almost all the sects and aristocratic forces that had previously been a constraint. All six counties stationed government soldiers and took back governance power. The strength has increased significantly.
At least, this is definitely not the case in the other two mansions of Xia Kingdom.
According to Fang Yuan, this is simply a thorough implementation of the reduction of vassals internally, and the degree of centralization of power has been greatly improved.
With such a surge in strength, it is inevitable to have some thoughts.
Not to mention, Liu Yan himself is already at the peak of the Juyuan Realm and a top spiritual warrior who has touched the bottleneck of the Tongyuan Realm!
"According to Zhou Wenwu and the Chen family's inquiries, Liu Yan immediately started to make small moves after he stopped for a while. In the past six months or so, he has even meant to extend his tentacles to the outer palace...perhaps he has already implemented it!"
During the previous Lu Renjia Rebellion, Fang Yuan speculated that external forces were involved. This time Liu Yan gained power, so it would be strange not to come back with severe revenge.
As far as Fang Yuan knows, in this year, Youshan Mansion soldiers have continuously expanded their recruitment. For this reason, they have lowered their standards and allowed warriors from the three levels to be selected as well. With this method, the number has reached 30,000!
"With all these signs, it's actually not difficult to guess Liu Yan's actions..."
Fang Yuan sighed: "Even...even the royal family can't sit still! It's just that they don't go to Youshan Mansion, so what are they doing here? Are they deliberately dragging me into trouble?"
When I thought of this, I felt a little depressed.
"Let the messenger come to me!"
Fang Yuan came to the main hall and waved his hand directly.
As a prodigy who has mastered both magic and martial arts and has broken through the Yuanli realm, especially a monster who is just twenty years old and has an unlimited future, he naturally has this confidence.
"As you command!"
Zhou Wenwu obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with Fang Yuan summoning an envoy from the kingdom, so he bowed and backed away.
Not long after, several women came in from the door and bowed down in a graceful manner: "Xie Lingyun, the little girl, has met Master Fang!"
The leading woman was tall and fair-skinned, with a petal between her eyebrows. Her waterfall-like black hair was simply tied into a bun, letting the rest hang down on her shoulders. She had a sense of generosity, and compared to Shi Yutong. Another kind of taste and style.
"Is your last name Xie?"
Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "I wonder what the relationship between Xie Quan and you is?"
This Xie Quan is naturally the current leader of the Xia Kingdom!
However, if the emperor's power is not strong, a spiritual warrior like Fang Yuan can call him by his first name, and no one dares to pursue him.
Originally he wouldn't be like this, but when this woman came from the royal capital, he was the first person she met. She showed no regard for dragging him into trouble. She didn't even ask him for his opinion before tricking him. Fang Yuaneng It's weird to give him a good look.
"It's my father!"
Xie Lingyun replied with a wry smile, looking at the young Fang Yuan, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"It turns out that the princess is here. It's really disrespectful! Princess, don't blame me!"
Fang Yuan spoke very rudely, without any hint of respect in his brows.
The two maids next to Xie Lingyun immediately had angry looks on their faces. Only Xie Lingyun's expression remained as usual: "How dare you call yourself a princess in a small country with few people?"
This attitude actually made Fang Yuan look at her slightly: "I wonder why Princess Xie is here?"
"Of course I'm here to eliminate a big disaster!"
Xie Lingyun said sternly: "Lingyun heard that the Lord of Youshan Palace, Liu Yan, was planning to attack Xia Yang Palace. No matter who wins or loses, life will be ruined, and the harm will be far greater than the previous civil strife in Youshan Palace. Therefore, he overestimates his own capabilities and wants to come." Mediation one or two..."
"You should go to Palace Master Youshan about this matter, why are you looking for me?"
Fang Yuan touched his chin, a little confused.
"This little girl is soft-spoken, so she has no choice but to ask the master for help!"
Xie Lingyun suddenly bowed down: "During the last civil strife, the master cut through the mess with a sharp sword and saved Youshan Mansion from a military disaster. His merits are immeasurable. This time the harm is far greater than the last time. Please help the little girl! "
These words were sincere, and Fang Yuan was slightly moved: "Get up and speak!"
With a wave of his hand, his energy was released, and a soft force immediately lifted Xie Lingyun up.
"This kind of power... is indeed a spiritual warrior, no small feat! And he is also as young and old as the rumors!"
Xie Lingyun looked at Fang Yuan, a hint of blush suddenly appeared on his face.
In order to win over such a genius, how could her father care about a daughter? Sending her here this time may not mean this.
Giving up a daughter in exchange for a strong support, any mature politician will know what to do.
However, Fang Yuan is not an impatient person at all, not to mention that there are many women around him who want to recommend themselves as pillows, so he is not just looking for trouble.
"If you think I have any influence on the Lord of the Palace, that's a pity. You have found the wrong person!"
Fang Yuan shook his head, his tone was so cold that it almost froze Xie Lingyun's blood.
"What's more, when you came to visit this time, you also plotted against me. You had bad intentions. Why should I help you?"
He asked again, his words like a knife, advancing step by step.
Xie Lingyun hesitated.
Naturally, she had this intention when she suddenly changed her route. She originally thought that the young master would only suffer a secret loss. Even if persuasion failed, it would be good to create a gap.
But I didn't expect that the other party didn't play according to common sense at all, and directly exposed the unspoken rules to the sun.
"This man has no youthful pride or vanity, and has abandoned all illusions. He only cares about real interests!"
Xie Lingyun's heart sank suddenly, knowing that the possibility of achieving her goal today had become very slim.
"In the whole world, everything is the king's land, and on the shore of the land, there are none but the king's ministers!"
She took a deep breath and changed her attitude: "Master Fang is also from the Xia Kingdom. Doesn't he have any loyalty to the emperor and patriotism? And... now that you have met me, how can you clear yourself of suspicion?"
When Xie Lingyun said this, she felt really uneasy. She thought Fang Yuan would be furious, but unexpectedly the other party was just stunned for a moment, then clapped and laughed.
"Haha...well said!"
Fang Yuan praised repeatedly: "At this moment, the princess finally showed some true colors!"
"Master, does he want to help?"
Xie Lingyun's eyes lit up.
"I am a mountain person and don't want to get involved in such troublesome things, and the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. I only know that there is Youshan Mansion above, but as for the Xia royal family, it is beyond my reach..."
Fang Yuan sighed quietly, which immediately made Xie Lingyun's cheeks turn red.
The loss of power has always been an eternal pain in the heart of the royal family, and now the scars are being opened bloody.
"What's more, isn't it easy to resolve the gap?"
A mysterious smile appeared on Fang Yuan's face: "You said... if I behead you, the princess, seal the head in a box and give it to the Lord of the Palace, will I be able to win his trust?"
"What?!"
Xie Lingyun's body was shaken, and the two maids behind him immediately stood up, as if they were going to fight desperately in the next moment.
Although even if twenty more come, they will only die in front of Fang Yuan.
"You're lucky. Although I've been offended a little, I'm still very tolerant, and I won't kill someone to establish my authority over a disagreement. Let's go!"
Fang Yuan waved his hand: "Go wherever you need to go, don't stop in Qingye City!"
"That… "
Xie Lingyun's lips moved, obviously she still couldn't forget her mission.
"As for cooperation?"
Fang Yuan's smile turned into mockery: "I never cooperate with people who plot against me!"
Hearing this answer, Xie Lingyun sighed inwardly, bowed faintly, and slowly withdrew with the maid.
…
"Master Fang! Master Fang!"
Not long after Xie Lingyun and his entourage were driven away, with a gong-like sound, Niu Dutong suddenly broke into the city lord's palace in a furious manner, and even the eight cows could not hold back.
"Niu Dingtian?"
Fang Yuan, who was giving instructions to Chen Ziying in the backyard, was startled: "Why are you here?"
"When I heard the news that the princess of Naxia had turned around on the road, I ran to death of a military horse before I got here!"
Niu Dutong touched his head and smiled honestly: "I'm here to remind you that that woman is a disaster, don't mess with her!"
"Thank you Brother Niu!"
When he heard that the other party came to report a message, even though it was a little late, Fang Yuan was still very grateful.
"Sigh... In the past, such trivial matters would have been nothing at all, but the master's temper has become increasingly moody recently. Last month, just for a trivial matter, he severely reprimanded Brother Xiang Zilong and ordered him to Losing face in front of the armed forces..."
Niu Dingtian sighed quietly.
Fang Yuan's eyes flashed after hearing this.
If Heaven wants to make it perish, it must first make it crazy. At this time, Liu Yan actually looked a bit rebellious.
…
"your Highness… "
In the largest compartment of the royal motorcade, a maid said angrily: "That Fang Yuan is so disgusting, he humiliated you like this!"
"If you don't have enough strength, who can you blame?"
Xie Lingyun obviously didn't care much about this, and even smiled like a little fox: "And... we have gained nothing. At least, we know that Fang Yuan and Liu Yan are not of the same mind, and they even seem to be inseparable. Very valuable news?"
"I came to Youshan Mansion this time with a heavy responsibility. What does this grievance mean?"
Looking in the direction of Youshan Fucheng, a trace of deep worry flashed across Xie Lingyun's face.
Her coming this time was not only a messenger, but also brought the final conditions of the royal family.
If Liu Yan still insists on going his own way, I'm afraid the only option is to start a war!
