If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 184: Developing the Great Northern Wilderness
If it were placed on a boat, the tea room on the second floor of the houseboat would be about seven or eight square meters, which is not small.

There are wooden floor-to-ceiling sliding windows on all four sides. In summer, the wooden windows can be taken down and gauze curtains can be hung. It is absolutely a first-class experience to enjoy the gentle river breeze while sipping tea and listening to the piano.

When winter comes, not only should all the wooden windows on all four sides be installed again, but they should also be inlaid with glazed tiles. Then a stove should be placed in the center of the house. Green ants should be boiled in the small red clay stove. Watching the auspicious snowflakes fall into the glacier and the plum blossoms on both sides bloom proudly in the cold is another ultimate enjoyment.

It is August now. Two of the four wooden windows have been taken down, leaving two left. The autumn breeze from the river brings in the fragrance of osmanthus from someone's yard. It is a refreshing feeling that makes the whole body feel comfortable. It is neither cold nor hot, just right.

After sincerely praising "Fairy Yu" for her extraordinary talent and superb swordsmanship, Li Xianzhi got straight to the point and said, "Xiao Fengxian, did you know that my father was seriously injured and Li Dan, the chief official, died on the spot to protect him?"

"Aunt Liu told me." Xiao Yu nodded first, then asked with concern: "Is the prince's injury serious? We have a great doctor named Min in Tianmen Town."

Li Xianzhi gave her a strange look. He said "our Tianmen Town" so smoothly and naturally that it seemed as if she was a local and he was an outsider.

"For any disease that can be cured by medicine, Dr. Min can definitely cure it. Just feel the pulse three times and the disease will be cured with just one dose.

But some diseases cannot be cured by medicine. Doctor Min is not a god after all. He can only use common herbs to treat diseases. He does not have a magic pill that can bring the dead back to life."

"Ah, has the prince reached this point?" Xiaoyu was shocked.

This time, her emotions were at least 70% true.

"Uh, no, not really. I just mean that Doctor Min can't cure all diseases with his medicine." Li Xianzhi was a little embarrassed.

"That's good, that's good. Your Majesty is blessed by heaven and will surely recover soon."

Hearing that the Prince of Qinghe was not serious, Xiaoyu felt a little disappointed for some reason.

It was as if her surprise just now was wasted, which was a pity.

Li Xianzhi looked into her eyes and asked, "Xiao Fengxian, do you know why my father died?"

——Looking at me like this, is it related to me? Uh, could it be that the families of Fairy Hongfu and the Great Sage Tongtian can't cause trouble for me, so they take it out on your father?
Xiao Yu understood something in his heart, but his face showed a thoughtful look, and he said: "The more powerful a person is, the larger his social circle and interest circle will be. The larger the circle is, the more it touches other people's circles, and the more conflicts there will be.

There is no doubt that the prince is one of the people with the "biggest circle" in Xisha Region.

Alas, perhaps this is the inevitable trouble brought about by supreme power and supreme authority!"

——What a clever Yu Fengxian!
Chijuro praised in his heart and an appreciative smile appeared on his thin face.

Li Xianzhi was stunned after hearing this, and was troubled for a while, but he was unable to refute.

The old monk glanced at him and sighed, "The prince also feels that his 'circle' is too large, and he wants to reduce it and let you out."

"Me? What's wrong with me?" Xiaoyu asked in surprise.

Li Xianzhi came to his senses now and avoided the matter of the "Ancient Dragon Palace", saying only that when his father was out, he met the sworn brother of the Monkey King, the 'Treading Waves Immortal' Ge Qingyun.

".Ge Qingyun used a fine steel oar as a weapon. The iron oar weighed 1,800 kilograms! The oar hit my father's back, and his flesh was rotten and his bones were broken.

Alas, the injury of broken bones alone is ten times more serious than when Song Changqing crippled your sword bone that day.

And the bone-breaking injury is only an external injury."

Thinking of his father's miserable appearance, Li Xianzhi's face showed some true emotions, and there was obvious bitterness hidden in his gloomy eyes.

Because his previous expectations were too high and he thought that the Prince of Qinghe was dead, Xiao Yu was not moved at all when he heard about his miserable condition - he was indifferent in his heart, but his face showed emotion.

"I will immediately burn a petition to Uncle Zhang Songzhi." She said gritting her teeth.

"Zhang Songzhi, your uncle? Who is he?" Li Xianzhi asked puzzledly.

Chi Jiu Luo's eyes flashed, and he said, "Zhang Songzhi should be Zhang Lingguan of Taiyi Dao, right?"

"Yes, it's Zhang Songzhi, the master of the magic mace. I'll ask Uncle Zhang to drag the Monkey King to Ge Qingyun and hit him a hundred times with the magic mace. What do you think, my Lord?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Can you invite Zhang Lingguan?" Li Xianzhi asked doubtfully.

Xiao Yu said: "Let's give it a try. Uncle Zhang personally assured me that day that the family and friends of the four human immortals would not dare to attack me.

He is a spiritual officer of the Taiyi sect. Every word he says represents the prestige of the orthodox Xuanmen sect. He will definitely not lie."

——But Zhang Lingguan only promised to protect you, not my father!
Li Xianzhi was in a complicated mood and said, "Xiao Fengxian, you can give it a try. If it works, it will be a great thing."

"Should I write the petition now?" Xiaoyu asked.

Li Xianzhi looked at Chijiuluo with some confusion: If Xiao Fengxian can convince Taiyi Dao to protect Shu Kingdom and Li Family, then she is not a disaster but a treasure. Should we cut off the relationship?
The old monk "heard" his inner voice, shook his head gently, used his telepathy to communicate with his mind, and said, "My lord, please don't let your imagination run wild.

There should be no falsehood in what Yu Fengxian said. As long as you nod, she will write a petition sincerely.

But Taiyi Dao would never interfere in the affairs of the royal families of the Western countries.

Look at what Taoist Qingsong did before.
Zhang Lingguan was willing to protect Yu Fengxian only because she once risked her life to save Taoist Qingsong.

Although Taoist Qingsong died, his soul was saved and did not die completely.

This is a huge cause and effect for Qingsong and Taiyi Dao.

My Lord, don't think that Taoist Qingsong is just an ordinary and insignificant Taoist boy.

His own level of Taoism is indeed not particularly high, but he has a strong background!
In his previous life, it seemed like more than one previous life. He had been reincarnated for several lifetimes and had squandered all his immortal blessings.

In short, he was once a true immortal in heaven, and he also taught two immortals and a heavenly master.

Later, he committed a serious sin and was banished to the human world. After several reincarnations, his sins accumulated more and more.

But even in this life, he is the direct disciple of the headmaster of Zhengyang Palace and the 'Little Heavenly Master' of the Great Qin.

The Heavenly Master in the Heavenly Palace is still paying attention to this master who has completely lost his position of enlightenment and immortal blessings.

The two immortal disciples were probably still busy preparing for his next life. Maybe Yu Fengxian had violated the laws of heaven, and someone in heaven would speak well of her.

Your status is definitely more noble than Yu Fengxian, but in some aspects of your connections, you are really not as good as her."

In fact, the old monk was being very tactful.

——Who are you? What kind of power is Taiyi Dao? Even if you are in Xishu, no one is interested in being their boss. You still want to be their boss and let their spiritual officials protect your Li family. What a joke!

Chi Jiuluo even suspected that Yu Fengxian had no Taoist skills, and there was an 80% chance that the Divine Mace Guardian would not be able to receive the petition she wrote.

"You can write the petition, but I came to you today for something else."

Li Xianzhi sighed inwardly, pulled himself together, abandoned his fantasies, and continued with today's business. "Xiao Fengxian, do you have any ideals?"

"Ideal?" Xiao Yu looked tangled. "Of course I want to seek the immortals, but——"

Li Xianzhi waved his hand to interrupt her and said, "You can keep and pursue this ideal. If necessary, my Xishu Li family is willing to help you with all our strength."

Xiao Yu was surprised and asked, "The prince wants to send me to cultivate immortality?"

Li Xianzhi's expression froze, and he murmured, "If there was a chance to become an immortal, I would want it myself!"

——Then why are you bragging so much!
Xiaoyu complained in her heart, and a look of disappointment naturally appeared on her little face.

“Xiao Fengxian, the opportunity to cultivate immortality has never been given for free. Only what you fight for yourself is the true chance to become an immortal.” Li Xianzhi said seriously.

Then he continued: "What I mean is, if you encounter an immortal fate, the Li family of Xishu will not only not stop you, but will also be willing to provide assistance to help you seize the immortal fate.

If you are really unlucky, the Li family can also give you a chance to gain immortal fate.

It's not that I will directly give you the chance to become an immortal, and no one can guarantee your chance to become an immortal.

If there is a confirmed immortal fate, my Li family will use it ourselves."

Xiaoyu nodded slightly, thinking this was quite honest.

"What am I going to do?" she asked.

Li Xianzhi said in a deep voice: "You don't have to do anything, just stay in Shu Kingdom and Tianmen Town for the next ten years.

Ten years later, Li Jiali will send you away from Xishu, to Dongshayu, or to Daqin, it is up to you.

The Li family will also give you ten thousand taels of gold as travel expenses."

"Isn't this too simple?" Xiaoyu asked curiously.

Li Xianzhi said: "I also hope that this is easy for you to do.

You probably understand the reason why I stayed for ten years.

You have always had a desire to seek immortality.

You want to leave Dune and have no interest in dynastic struggle. We believe this because we have the same idea.

You must have heard that the current monarch is my eighth uncle, not my eldest uncle.

My father is the eldest son of the previous king and was once the crown prince.

But he and several other uncles had no intention of becoming king.

The eighth uncle inherited the throne because he really had no talent for immortal martial arts.

We just want to ensure the prosperity of Western Shu. We have no ambition towards Shaqiu and no hatred towards the Shaman. We are only grateful to you and are on guard against you with all helplessness.

But ten years later, the chaos in the Xisha region has subsided, the Xishu dragon vein has spread to the northern wilderness, and has completely stabilized. There is no need to guard against the previous 'Xisha destroying Shu' astrological phenomenon. "

"How did the dragon vein of Western Shu spread to the Northern Wilderness?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.

Li Xianzhi smiled slightly, with some pride and some teasing, and said: "Xiao Fengxian, you rarely pay attention to the affairs of the Shu Kingdom?"

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly and said, "In the past, I often listened to neighbors gossiping about family matters and national affairs.

I have been staying at Wuthering Heights for more than a month, and at most I have chatted with the nearby villagers about the harvest this autumn."

"Hahaha!" Li Xianzhi laughed heartily and said, "In the city, you can chat with the neighbors, and in the countryside, you can mingle with the villagers. You really go with the flow!"

He is very happy.

The "overlord" who has always dreamed of reviving Dune and establishing the Dune Empire, even if he was willing to endure hardships and suffer hardships, could not achieve this level of success, and still do it so naturally.

"The dragon vein spreads northwards, not because of any magical power. The dragon vein is the energy of the country, a combination of human energy and earth energy.

The northward extension of the dragon vein means developing the Great Northern Wilderness and establishing villages, markets and towns north of Hengsha Pass.

In about ten years, the desolate Hengsha Pass you once saw will become a northern 'Little Tianmen Town' with a population of one million."

He looked at Xiao Yu with a meaningful look on his face, and said with a smile: "Western Shu can successfully develop the Great Northern Wilderness, thanks to you, Xiao Fengxian.

Your 'iron rod rolling' and iron ingot smelting technology are the core industries supporting the development of Beihuang Town.

The several drought-resistant desert species you cultivated, such as 'Mucai', will be an important guarantee for the survival of the people in the Northern Wilderness.

The double-layer canal farming method you built in the sand dunes will be widely promoted in the Northern Wilderness."

In short, learn all the good strategies left by Shamanyu, and add the original advantages of Shu Kingdom, and see how you, the Shaman in the Northern Wilderness, can establish the Xisha Empire!
