that morning.The fleet was originally scheduled to stop in Xiangcheng for supplies, but with Lord Lu Zhi's personal delivery, the fleet continued on its journey.Boom, boom, boom!A dull, explosive soun...Mu Qinghua had a visitor, and Zhang Liyang didn't enter without permission. Instead, he came to the small garden in the courtyard to wait.

It wasn't until an hour later that Zhang Liyang saw Cai Ning walk out from Mu Yinghua's courtyard.

"I have met Mr. Cai!"

"Oh, it's Mr. Zhang."

The two people bowed to each other, greeted each other, and then left separately.

"Zhang Liyang, you're out of the customs. How is it, did you break through your cultivation"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fortunate to have broken through."

"That's wonderful!" it seemed Zhang Liyang was delighted by the breakthrough in his cultivation, "A few days ago, someone sent over some snow mountain sturgeon, I had them stewed."

The snowtrout, a rare species found in the northwestern icy regions, is renowned for its delicious flesh. In her previous life at the imperial palace, Mu Yinghua had only tasted it a few times during grand banquets hosted by Emperor Dagan. However, on the second day of their arrival in Feilong City, she was presented with over ten snowtrout to sample fresh.

"Mr. Cai, how did you get here"

Cai Ning had never gotten along with Mu Yinghua. With Cai Ning's sudden visit, Zhang Liyang wouldn't think it was just a casual get-together.

"Oh, you're talking about Mr. Cai" Mu Yinghua sat in a chair, a slight frown creasing her face. "Mr. Cai is having some trouble."

"Hmm"

As Mu Yinghua spoke, Zhang Liyang gradually understood the trouble Cai Dairen had encountered during his closed-door period.

As mentioned before, Fei Long City was occupied by Ci Lai for almost two hundred years. The people living in the city have multiplied through six or seven generations!

Six or seven generations ago, many things have long since worn away and no longer exist.

Li Ziyi's capture of Feilong City merely drew it back into the territory of Dagan. The hearts and minds of the people of Feilong City, however, might not have followed suit. Cai Ning and Mu Yinghua came with the purpose of winning over the hearts and minds of the people as well, bringing them fully into the fold of the Dagan Dynasty.

It's easy to say, but when Cai Ning actually tried to do it, she realized that she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Let's not talk about anything else. Just say that after Cai Ning came to power, he began to implement the Four Imperial Benevolences, but he found that except for the tax exemption clause which went smoothly, the remaining three clauses could not be implemented at all.

I wanted to reexamine the cases in Flying Dragon City. After all, under the rule of barbarians like Ci Lai, there must have been a large number of wrongful convictions.

But when Cai Ning's order was issued, although the people below went to execute it, none of the witnesses showed up!

At that time, sitting in the hall, looking at the officials on both sides and the prisoner kneeling alone on the ground, Cai Ning's face was ashen.

The first one can't be used, let alone the second and third.

Ten thousand catties of seeds couldn't be planted, and those lambs had nowhere to graze. As for the academy promised to be built, construction hadn't even begun yet, but all the spots were filled! A closer look revealed that they were all children of officials and wealthy families from Flying Dragon City.

Although Cai Ning brought several confidants with him this time, the underlying powerlessness at the grassroots level left him and his men almost completely helpless.

People won't argue with you, whatever you say goes, but when it comes to execution, there will always be this or that problem, resulting in everything falling apart in the end.

To such an extent that Cai Ning came to Feilong City for four or five days, and received four or five days of anger.

Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I came to Mu Yinghua to complain.

"Complaining" Zhang Liyang's eyes flickered. A high-ranking official like him, a Right Servant of the Ministry of Rites and a seasoned veteran of the court, would actually run to a young girl to complain Even if this girl was a princess.

"What does Your Highness say"

"I don't know either." Mu Yinghua sounded a little frustrated. "I don't have any information here and I can't help much, so I was thinking about sending Captain Yuan over to assist. What do you think"

"Old fox!"

When Mu Yinghua uttered the last words, Zhang Liyang understood Cai Ning's plan. The old fox turned his gaze to the three hundred Pianshan Camp soldiers beside Mu Yinghua.

By then, Cai Ning would have three hundred elite soldiers at his command. While he couldn't claim to be able to solve all the problems, at least he, Cai Ning, would have a certain degree of initiative in his hands.

"Can't it"

Zhang Liyang did not answer Mu Yinghua's words, but sat on the side tapping his fingers on the table in deep thought.

At first, Zhang Liyang sent Mu Yinghua out of the palace to avoid scandal. On the surface, it was said to be for relaxation, but only Zhang Liyang himself knew the true purpose.

To achieve goals, one must distance oneself from the whirlpool.

Now that the vortex has moved away, can we continue on our journey

But how to get there

Coming out openly would be met with resistance. Just the fact that Mu Yinghua is a woman would cause most people to oppose her. Therefore, Mu Yinghua's path will be more difficult than others'.

"Expanding our influence is not advisable for now, so let's just focus on naming ourselves first!"

"Agree to him!" Zhang Liyang stopped tapping his fingers, "But don't agree to him like that!"

"Huh"

Looking at Mu Yinghua, who looked bewildered and confused, Zhang Liyang smiled without explaining, "Your Highness, don't worry, I'll take care of this."

Okay, I'll leave it to you.

"Your Highness, the meal is ready." At that moment, a maid's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing the maid's voice, Mu Yinghua's face lit up. She directly grabbed Zhang Liyang's sleeve and walked out, "Come on, I'll take you to try the snow mountain sturgeon. You'll definitely like it."

"Okay."

When no one was around, there was barely a line to be seen between Mu Yinghua and Zhang Liyang, their master-servant relationship almost invisible. Mu Yinghua didn't mind, and Zhang Liyang didn't mind either.

As Mu Yinghua said, Zhang Liyang was indeed amazed by the fresh taste of this snow mountain sturgeon. It's no wonder that during its time in the palace, this dish was only served at grand banquets.

"How is it Tasty, isn't it"

"As expected of one of the wonders of the northwest, well-deserved reputation!"

After the meal, Zhang Liyang took Mu Yinghua out of the manor, followed by Yuan Li in civilian clothes and several other soldiers. Yuan Li was the leader of the remaining three hundred soldiers from the Panshan camp, holding the rank of a school captain.

Although Fei Long City is located on the outskirts of the desert, the place where it stands is a rare place with green hills and clear waters.

Under the boundless expanse of the desert, Fei Long City resembles a vibrant emerald embedded within this desolate northwestern landscape.

So the scenery surrounding Feilong City also has its own unique flavor.

"Drive!"

On the boundless prairie, Mu Yinghua ran back and forth.

There are no rules and regulations of the palace here, nor the intrigues of human hearts. There is only an open and boundless expanse.

Above the boundless expanse of emerald green ocean, that feeling of emptying one's heart captivated Mu Yinghua.

"Zhang Liyang, teach me how to hunt, please. I've always wanted to ride a horse and draw a bow myself. The feeling of freedom is really appealing."

Of course, no problem." Zhang Liyang almost never refused Mu Yinghua's requests.followed suit. The living room fell into an unexpected quiet."Old fox!"After muttering under his breath again, Zhang Liyang spoke first, "Oh, Your Highness traveled here from afar, surely to achieve s...
