The fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar is an auspicious day, suitable for starting a business and traveling far.
The weather is fine and the breeze is not dry.
In Youshan Palace, every household took down the white flags originally commemorating Liu Yan and replaced them with festive red banners to congratulate the new Lord of Youshan Palace.
Fang Yuan chose to hold his succession ceremony today.
As early as a few days ago, all the wealthy families and sect celebrities from the county gathered together, making Youshan Fucheng even more popular.
The main door of the city lord's mansion was wide open, welcoming guests from all directions, and there was a continuous flow of traffic.
"The Lieyang County Guard is here!"
"The acting head of the Five Ghost Sect has arrived!"
"The governor of Cangyi County is here!"
"The leader of the Giant Whale Gang has arrived!"
…
During the roll call of the master of ceremonies, all the important figures and powerful leaders of Youshan Mansion appeared on the stage one after another.
Yu Xinlou and others worked hard, from the etiquette standards to the welcome details, there was no rudeness in anything, and it was full of solemnity and grandeur.
"Your Excellency, your successor as Palace Master is what everyone expects!"
On the high platform not far away, Fang Yuan watched the scene quietly, and Zhang Qingfeng behind him couldn't help but say.
"Yes, as expected!"
Fang Yuan also changed into a brocade robe at this time and wore a jade crown on his head. He looked like a young master, with an indescribable domineering air between his eyes.
For his succession ceremony this time, basically all the well-known forces in Youshan Mansion sent envoys to congratulate him, and there was almost no objection.
This situation occurred because they knew that under the threat of Wu Kingdom's invasion, although this position was important, it was also a fire pit.
And secondly, Fang Yuan's reputation was justified.
According to the convention, the strongest person in the palace will be the leader of Youshan Palace.
In terms of strength, at this time, who in Youshan Mansion can compare to Fang Yuan, the double master
Even in terms of power, he not only has the loyalty of the soldiers of Youshan Prefecture, but also has his own base of Qingye City in Qinghe County, coupled with the return and support of Niu Dingtian and Xiang Zilong in the end, he is really what everyone expected, and there is no third The two can replace each other.
With strength and righteousness, power and status are natural.
Of course, the more so, the greater the responsibility.
"The auspicious time has come!"
Along with several salutes, the voice of the emcee in front became louder and louder.
"Let's go!"
Fang Yuan took the golden cloak, casually draped it behind him, and arrived at the welcoming hall.
"I've met the Lord of the Palace!"
At this time, no matter which guest was there, they were all greeted with smiles and flattery.
If Fang Yuan hadn't practiced the dream master's way, his divine energy was astonishing, and his grasp of people's emotions became more and more subtle, and he wouldn't have been able to detect the undercurrent hidden under the surface.
"Doubt... fear... and fear... there are only a few truly loyal people!"
The smile on Fang Yuan's face grew brighter, but his eyes grew colder.
He walked calmly and walked onto the main stage. Next to him, Zhang Qingfeng looked solemn and held a tray with a black seal on it, which was the seal of Youshan.
In fact, the transfer of power has already been carried out, and it is just a formality at this time.
"Please give me the palm seal of the Palace Master!"
As the bells and drums rang, Zhang Qingfeng knelt down solemnly and raised the tray above his head.
"Um!"
Fang Yuan held the Youshan Seal in his hand, came to the main seat, and sat down calmly, his breath calm, Yuan Ting Yue Zhi.
"The master of the palace has ascended the throne, and his subordinates salute!"
Amidst the loud voice of the master of ceremonies, even those who have dark thoughts in their hearts at this moment have to go with the flow, kneel down, bow once, twice, three times, and shout congratulations.
"This is the joy of being a king!"
It has to be said that watching the people kneeling below, with heads clustered together in a black mass, holding the power of life and death, is indeed very easy to get intoxicated, giving rise to a feeling of being a man.
But Fang Yuan is Fang Yuan after all. After experiencing the confusion in the dream, he can get away from it faster.
Just as soon as his thoughts changed, his eyes returned to clarity.
Whether he occupies Qingye or takes over Youshan Mansion, these are just his methods to fight against others.
When it's time to give up, you should be able to let go of things.
"The world is like a chess game, and everyone is like a son. Today, as the master of this palace, I will play a good game of chess with the surrounding countries!"
As soon as he thought of this, Fang Yuan felt that his mind was clear and his state of mind seemed to have reached a higher level. He couldn't help but think deeply.
Experiences in dreams are, after all, illusions, but training one's mind in the world of mortals in reality is of great help to the cultivation of one's state of mind.
At that moment, he collected his mind, and a voice as clear as jade resounded in the auditorium: "Everyone, please rise... I have just taken charge of this position, and everything is in ruins. I hope you will generously help me in various ways!"
The people below stood up, and with an occasional glance, they saw the majestic and heroic monarch in his position, looking forward to the brilliance, which was heart-breaking at first sight.
His temperament and power seemed to be even better than when Liu Yan was young, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.
"The envoy from the Kingdom of Wu has arrived!"
At this time, there was a commotion outside the door, and soon the hesitant voice of the emcee came in.
"Master of the Palace?"
Niu Dingtian stepped forward immediately.
He was a rough man. After breaking out of the siege, he learned about Liu Yan's arrangement and immediately surrendered to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan naturally had no doubts about whether people should be employed or not, so he directly entrusted them with important tasks.
Xiang Zilong is also average, but he is injured and is still recovering.
At this time, Niu Dingtian felt that the envoy from Wu State was not a good person, so he immediately came to Fang Yuan and said, "How about I go and send him away?"
"I am very happy today. Anyone who comes is a guest, so please come too!"
Fang Yuan shook his head and gave the order.
Not long after, an old man with immortal Taoism, wearing a ge robe and dressed as a Taoist priest, came in with his head held high, his eyes seemed to be shining with the color of glass.
"Xuan Sheng, a poor man, is here on behalf of the King of Wu Kingdom to congratulate the Lord on his succession to the throne!"
The old Taoist Xuansheng held up his hand without showing much respect: "A special gift of a hundred taels of gold, a Ruyi pair, and a letter of credence!"
"credentials?"
Fang Yuan seemed to ponder for a moment: "What's the matter?"
Old Taoist Xuansheng stroked his beard and smiled, not caring at all that he was in an enemy camp. He was full of confidence in the diplomacy of a superior country: "This letter of credence was signed between the king of Xia and his country, and the land of Youshan Mansion has been transferred to the country. Cut off all the Wu Kingdoms!"
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.
Even though some aristocratic sects had received the news in advance, they never expected that the Xia State would do such a crazy thing and give away half of its territory to neighboring countries.
In an instant, there was a thunder in the entire auditorium, and there were endless discussions.
"quiet!"
Fang Yuan looked indifferent and pressed his right hand.
Buzz!
A powerful aura suddenly descended and enveloped him, and the noise in the entire hall suddenly stopped, as if everyone was being strangled by the neck.
Many leaders looked at this scene with cold sweat streaming down their foreheads.
The feeling of intimidation given to them by this new Palace Master was no less than that of Liu Yan. This was really an incredible thing.
"...According to the certificate of credence, Youshan Mansion at this time is already the land of our Wu Kingdom. The position of the master of the palace should also be canonized by the king of our Wu Kingdom in order to be effective!"
Xuansheng continued to talk eloquently: "However, the leader of our country is a man who loves talents. If the master of the palace prepares a heavy gift and comes with me to meet the king, who will be the master of the palace instead of you?"
His words were so inflammatory that even Niu Dingtian scratched his head and felt very embarrassed.
Xuan Sheng waited quietly, with some expectation in his heart.
"As long as Fang Yuan agrees, it means that the status of king and minister has been determined, and Youshan Mansion will be destroyed without attack... Even if it is delayed, as long as he is willing to enter the Wu Kingdom with me, he will fall into a trap, which is a great good!"
While turning his mysterious thoughts around, Xuan Sheng looked at Fang Yuan, and the color of the glass in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Huh? This old man has evil intentions and wants to charm me?"
As soon as his eyes met the other party's, Fang Yuandun's consciousness sank, and he wanted to agree uncontrollably.
But who is he
Meng Yuanli turned slightly and regained consciousness in an instant. Anger rose in his heart: "Hey... What does the Xia Kingdom's credential mean?"
"What?"
Xuan Sheng's face changed wildly: "This man is young and has a high level of divine energy, but it is simply unbelievable that he can break free from the eyes of the six souls of the old Taoist... A powerful enemy! If he continues to grow, he will definitely become a confidant of our Martial Kingdom. Big trouble!"
But at this time, he was shocked to find that his neck was stiff and he couldn't stay away from the other party's sight. He seemed to have turned into a puppet with strings, unable to move his limbs. He was even more horrified: "Backlash!"
Although his six-path soul eye has all kinds of miraculous powers, if the target is much stronger than him, it will also bring terrible backlash, which may lead to serious injury or death.
Fang Yuan stood up on his own and said, "Wu Guo is a crazy country! The king of Wu Guo is greedy and murderous. The former head of the palace, Liu Yan, died at the hands of you and others, and you still want to Do I surrender?"
"We, Youshan Mansion, are self-reliant and self-reliant. Why do we need outsiders to confer titles? On the contrary, the leader of Xia Kingdom has lost his land and humiliated his country. He is unworthy of being a king. This manor will one day punish him!"
"puff!"
When he finished speaking, Master Xuan Sheng suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, obviously suffering a big loss.
Not only that.
He covered his eyes and screamed repeatedly. When he stood up again, a pair of eyeballs had exploded, leaving two bloody holes, which was horrifying at first sight.
"well… "
There was no color on the face of the old Taoist Xuansheng, and he smiled like a night owl: "The poor Taoist has no eyesight, this trick should be scrapped! But Lord Youshan Palace, you don't have to be so arrogant... I, the National Master of Wu Kingdom, and an army of 100,000, have been here for a long time. The border is ready to go, just waiting for an order to turn your little Youshan Mansion into powder!"
I have to say that this threat is really not small, and many people turned pale.
"Master of the palace... unexpectedly..."
But Niu Dingtian was extremely surprised in his heart. He looked at Fang Yuan and was speechless.
He naturally knew that this veteran's strength was definitely at the spiritual level, and he was originally worried that Fang Yuan would suffer a loss.
But now, it's just a face-to-face meeting, and the other party not only feels inferior, but even has his eyes disabled
Such unpredictable methods are probably inferior to those of Liu Yan.
"Very good, then you also bring a message for me to your Imperial Master!"
Facing the threat, Fang Yuan responded with a sneer: "Just say, I'm waiting for him to come and die!"
