The members of Fang Yun's party looked at Fang Yun with conflicted feelings.
On one hand, they were glad that they had made the right choice and didn't abandon Fang Yun at the most critical moment.
On the other hand, they were uneasy because Fang Yun had already surpassed Mount Liu.
They were afraid that Fang Yun would become an unscrupulous minister and do things that they didn't want to see, which would lead to the destruction of Jingguo. However, they were even more afraid that he would be like the members of Liu's party and lose his power completely.
Just as Fang Yun stepped into the Heavenly Temple, hundreds of scholars walked out of the Waterfall Valley in Yuan County.
The leader had a head full of white hair, but there wasn't a single wrinkle on his face. He looked like a strong man in his forties. He wore a green robe embroidered with clouds. His eyes were calm and his expression was calm. There was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
Other than a special person, the lowest ranking person behind him was a High Scholar. There was even a Grand Scholar.
The special High Scholar was Ji Zhibai's distant cousin, Ji Wu. A few days ago, he and Ji Zhibai had announced the Ten Crimes of Fang Yun together. He was very popular in the Liu's party and had been accepted as a disciple by Mount Liu. If there were no surprises, he would be the second Ji Zhibai.
Half of these scholars used to be officials in Jingguo, while the other half were famous businessmen and family heads in Jingguo.
Mount Liu had appeared again.
Outside the Waterfall Valley, luxury cars lined up in a row.
These luxury cars completely violated the rules set by Fang Yun. They were extremely luxurious, but no one cared.
Mount Liu stood outside the Waterfall Valley and looked at the open sky in front of him. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Heaven and Earth will not change. I am still the same."
"Congratulations, Lord Liu. You are about to become the prime minister again." Everyone congratulated him happily.
"Don't call yourself the prime minister before you reach the capital." Mount Liu smiled as if he didn't remember that he had called himself the prime minister.
"Under the seal of the Divine Path, it is certain that you will take over as Minister of the Left again."
"However, we can't be careless!" Ji Wu said.
"What do you mean?" Guan Che asked.
"After all, there are still three days before the Seal of the Divine Path can fully exert its power. In these three days, they still have a little bit of resistance. It's better for us to arrive in the capital three days later. Only then can we show our respect for them. Otherwise, if we tease them like a cat teasing a mouse for three days, it would be a bit unfair. "
Everyone laughed.
Mount Liu nodded and said, "You're right. We'll take the boat and return to the capital three days later from the south gate!"
That day, Mount Liu left the capital in disgrace through the south gate.
In twelve years, he had suppressed one dynasty and carried out the Divine Path in the Throne Room. However, the people in Dreamy Surprise Alley had white hair that reached the clouds.
And now, he was going to wield the Divine Path again!
Mount Liu looked in the direction of the capital and slowly straightened his back.
The Liu Party scholar behind him slowly raised his head.
Gyeongo, Feng Province, Changfeng Prefecture, Changfeng City.
Changfeng is the capital of Fengzhou and one of the most prosperous cities in Gyeongo.
The Fengshui River originated in Xiangzhou and originally flowed from west to east. As it neared Fengzhou, the river turned from south to north and flowed into the Yangtze River.
Part of Xiangzhou and Fengzhou was east of Xiangzhou. Because it was very prosperous and had many outstanding people, it was called Little Jiangdong.
Changfeng City was like most capital cities. It had three offices of the prefecture: the Prefecture Magistrate's Office, the Governor's Office, and the State Academy of Literature.
Now, the Prefecture Magistrate Qu Mingchen, the Governor Xi Shi, and the Governor of the State Academy of Literature, Gong Yuan 'an, were gathered in the Governor's Office.
Outside the Governor's Office, there were four times more soldiers patrolling than usual.
The Governor's Office was brightly lit.
In a side hall, three people sat on three sides of a sand table and looked at it quietly.
Many years ago, sand tables were popularized by Fang Yun.
All three of them were scholars.
The three were silent for a long time. Gong Yuan 'an said, "Governor Xi, announce His Majesty's decree."
Qu Mingchen nodded and said, "I've already made preparations before coming here."
Xi Shi laughed and said, "The two of you are indeed dragons and phoenixes among men. I haven't explained in detail, but you already know why I'm here. His Majesty's decree is to seize the opportunity while the Divine Path is sealed to seize Xiangzhou's Prosperity Prefecture and occupy all of Little Jiangdong! "
Qu Mingchen and Gong Yuan 'an's eyes didn't waver at all.
"Once the war starts, His Majesty will send the Dragon-Tiger Army to Fengzhou. After we seize Little Jiangdong, we'll reclaim Xiangzhou."
The strongest army in Gyeongo was the Dragon-Tiger Army.
Gong Yuan 'an's expression was cold. He said, "When will we act?"
"We'll act according to the circumstances. When the time is right, I'll ask His Majesty for instructions. His Majesty will make the final decision."
"If we start a war, how will we deal with the Notre-Dame?" Gong Yuan 'an asked.
Xi Shi smiled and said, "We're not the ones starting a war. It's the miscellaneous scholars of Jingguo who can't stand Fang Yun's tyranny and asked us, the righteous people of Gyeongo, to get rid of the tyranny. We're righteous, and we're here to bring peace and harmony to Xiangzhou. "
"What are our chances of winning?" Qu Mingchen asked.
"Li Wenying isn't here, so we'll definitely win. Even if Zhang Poyue joins the battle, we'll still have an eighty percent chance of winning. After all, we're well-prepared, and Jingguo is rushing into battle. "
"Then what about the Water Tribe?" Gong Yuan 'an pointed out the key point.
The water resources south of the Yangtze River were plentiful, and any operation couldn't avoid the Water Tribe.
"We've already asked the Lei family and the West Sea Dragons to help. At least we can guarantee that the Water Tribe won't interfere with us," Xi Shi said.
"If Fang Yun agrees to the peace talks, what about handing over the official examination?" Gong Yuan 'an asked.
Xi Shi grinned and said, "That's even better. We won't have to use force. Since we've already handed over the official examination, let's hand over Xiangzhou as well! "
Gong Yuan 'an sighed and said, "History is repeating itself."
"Yes, history is repeating itself!" Xi Shi's expression was serious.
A few decades ago, Jingguo was full of talented people, and its national strength was rising day by day. It became a threat to the neighboring Gyeongo, Wu Guo, and Qi Nation.
At first, Jingguo kept a low profile, but the three neighboring nations didn't lack talented people, and they realized that Jingguo could become a hidden danger.
Thus, Gyeongo led the alliance with Wu Guo and Gyeongo to launch a war against Jingguo.
In the end, the three nations joined forces to stop Jingguo's momentum, and they even took over two prefectures of Jingguo. Gyeongo took over Xiangzhou, while Gyeongo and Wu Guo shared one.
Now, Gyeongo realized that Jingguo was a threat again, so they used the Saint Path Seal. They were prepared to use the same tactic to invade Jingguo's land and stop Jingguo's momentum from rising.
"Last time, we joined forces with Qi Nation and Wu Guo. If we act alone today, our chances of winning aren't high," Gong Yuan 'an said.
Xi Shi said, "Last time, Jingguo was still intact, so the three nations had to join forces to act. Now that Jingguo is under the Saint Path Seal, and they've been fighting with the grassland barbarians for many days, they've lost a lot of their strength. As long as we attack with lightning speed and use the lightning battle that Fang Yun mentioned before, we'll be able to take over Xiaohedong. Then, we'll decide whether to defend Xiaohedong or attack Yueyang City based on the situation. "
"When do we act?"
Xi Shi said, "Three days from now, after Jingguo's Sword of the Crop is suppressed!"
Gong Yuan 'an stood up, and Qu Mingchen followed suit.
