Hearing the sound coming from inside the house, Xuezhu clasped her hands tightly.

It was not until she saw two people sitting down by the window and asked her to take a set of jade chess pieces in that she felt a little relaxed.

The woman in auspicious clothes had a beautiful expression on her face and said meaningfully, "You can go down. I am playing chess with the master and don't need anyone to serve me."

Pabala glanced at her, then waved his hand with disgust: "Go down."

When playing chess with a beautiful woman, I don't want to see this ugly guy serving her.

I have no thoughts at all!

"Yes."

Xuezhu bowed and withdrew, walked out of the corridor with light steps, and saw Yan Yuanan waiting there.

He was dressed in the attire of a servant, with a calm expression and worry hidden deep in his eyes.

The moment he saw her, he relaxed.

Xuezhu put her finger between her lips and made a "hush" gesture, meaning that this was not the place to talk.

Yan Yuanan nodded and followed her to the side room where the servants lived.

The City Lord's Mansion was built in the style of a Central Plains mansion and is extremely luxurious.

In order to show his favor to the eldest princess, and because the princess said she did not like living with other people, Pabala gave her a whole set of exquisite courtyards.

Xuezhu, her maid, had a hard time finding her master after the sandstorm.

She was extremely ugly, but the eldest princess said that she only had this maid and she only wanted her to serve her.

This gave Xuezhu far greater freedom and living conditions in the City Lord's Mansion than other female slaves.

The two of them entered the room one after another. Xuezhu closed the door. They lowered their voices, exchanged information quickly, and discussed for about a quarter of an hour.

"I'll go right away." Yan Yuanan said.

"Be careful. Nothing is more important than your safety."

Xuezhu warned worriedly: "Pabala has made such a big fuss, someone from Dajing will definitely come. If not, we will wait and act accordingly."

Yan Yuanan agreed, but he didn't think so in his heart.

In any case, since it concerns the mother's reputation, this wedding must not be allowed to take place as scheduled.

Don't give anyone a chance to criticize you.

His mission is to succeed and not fail.

Juyan City, a restaurant in the west of the city, on the third floor.

The wizard was in a depressed mood. He stood in front of the window of the restaurant, holding a wine glass and looking at the people of all skin colors and clothes on the street. He became more and more restless.

"Sir, someone is looking for you."

His men came to report.

"Who?"

"He didn't say anything, he just said that adults would regret it if they didn't see him, he was a Han Chinese child."

"Let him in."

The wizard was feeling bored, and anyone who could help him cheer up would be helpful.

Besides, what kind of threat can a child pose?

If anyone dares to play tricks on him, he will be killed.

As soon as Yan Yuanan entered the room, the wizard felt that he looked familiar: "You, who are you?"

"The princess is my master."

The eldest princess brought into the city lord's mansion only two servants: the ugly Xuezhu and an errand boy.

The wizard's expression changed, and then he sat down: "What do you want me to do?"

In order to rule the Hexi Corridor left by the Central Plains dynasty, the Tibetan nobles basically all spoke Chinese, such as Pabala and the wizards, so they could communicate without any obstacles.

Yan Yuanan did not answer immediately. He pretended to be profound and pondered for a moment: "It's not me who is looking for you, it's Your Highness."

In terms of appearance, people from the Central Plains look younger than the locals.

Among his peers, Yan Yuanan is of average height, neither tall nor short, which makes him look even more childish.

In the eyes of the wizard, he was just a little brat pretending to be an adult. His hair hadn't even grown out yet he was trying to learn to speak like an adult.

The vigilance in my heart unconsciously relaxed a little.

"Tell me, what does your master want from me?"

Yan Yuanan pursed his lips and said nothing, just looking at the people guarding the house.

The wizard laughed in his heart and waved his hand: "All of you go down."

He wanted to see what such a small child could say.

Watching the door close, Yan Yuanan stepped forward and greeted him with his hands on his chest.

This etiquette, at first, was meant to express total submission, as the hands were crossed over the chest and the use of weapons was impossible.

Later it evolved to mean that the other person is the person one respects the most.

The wizard was very pleased to receive the gift.

The more courtesy you give, the less blame you will get. This saying applies everywhere.

"Sir," Yan Yuanan maintained a respectful posture, "Her Highness has no choice. She does not want to marry the City Lord."

"Oh?"

The wizard suppressed his surprise and pretended to be indifferent: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Her Highness wants you to take her away and go to the royal court to see the regent."

As soon as these words came out, the wizard's expression immediately became cautious, and his eyes were alert: "What do you want to do?"

Yan Yuanan's face showed a proud look: "Your Highness is a rare talent, how can you be condescended to live in Juyan City? Looking at the entire royal court, only the regent who is far-sighted and ambitious can be worthy of her status."

"Those conservatives who are complacent will eventually rot in their graves."

His remarks were risky and unconventional.

Yet, every word was just what the wizard wanted.

The wizard narrowed his eyes and relaxed. "You are so young, but you have quite a bit of experience."

Yan Yuanan bowed again and said, "Your Highness said so, I am just repeating it."

At this point in the conversation, the wizard had completely believed what Yan Yuanan said.

If any Tibetan woman said this, it would only make her appear arrogant and ungrateful.

It just so happens that the other party is Princess Dajing, who comes from the Central Plains, a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

When she said it, it was the pattern.

To be fair, even the wizard himself felt that Pabala's decision to take the eldest princess for himself instead of offering her to the regent was like a pheasant dreaming of the golden phoenix in the sky.

Take the eldest princess away and head to the royal court?

The wizard twirled his fingers, undecided.

It's not impossible, but it would mean a complete break between him and Pabala.

Pabala was an unruly beast, and making enemies out of thin air did him no good at all.

Yan Yuanan spoke at the right time: "Sir, if your Highness's wish can be fulfilled, I will ensure that you become the most respected state teacher one day."

The wizard suddenly sat up straight, unable to suppress his excitement, and blurted out, "Are you serious?"

Bon religion flourished with the rise of Tubo.

But in recent years, Buddhism has been introduced from the west with great force, and ascetic monks doing good deeds and people giving alms to them can be seen everywhere.

At the beginning, it was just the belief of the lower class people.

I don’t know when it started, but there were more nobles in the royal court who worshipped Buddhism.

This puts Bon religion under great pressure.

If he could become the national teacher...

When the wizard thought of this possibility, his heart couldn't stop beating wildly. He was the great contributor to the entire Bon religion!

He is the next leader.

Seeing his undisguised ambition, Yan Yuanan smiled slightly.

Everyone has ambitions, and as long as you find the right way, you can use them to your advantage.

This was an important lesson he learned from Mr. Gongsun.
