Hearing this, Luo Yansheng's expression suddenly changed.
Du Qi's envoy had arrived.
One must know that Du Qi had stationed troops at the border, and war could break out at any time. At this time, both sides were enemies. But he did not expect that Du Qi's envoy would dare to come, which was out of Luo Yansheng's expectations.
Luo Yansheng's heart was a little uneasy, and Ta Mu 'er and Wu Na Shili also frowned when they heard this. Yuan Yin and Yi Fusheng sat below, and their hearts were filled with thoughts.
"Phew!"
Luo Yansheng heaved a sigh of relief.
He let himself regain his composure.
Luo Yansheng said: "If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, we can't avoid it. Since he's here, and we can't avoid it, then let's meet him. Moreover, through this Ping Xi Wang's envoy, we can probe Du Qi's actual situation, so that we can know the situation better. "
"Invite him in."
Luo Yansheng ordered.
"Yes!"
The soldier received the order and turned to inform.
After a while, Liu Zhengxi strode into the study. Today, Liu Zhengxi was wearing a broad collar shirt, and had a dignified bearing. Behind Liu Zhengxi was Xue Rengui.
The rest of the soldiers were outside the mansion.
Liu Zhengxi walked in front. His expression was calm, without the slightest bit of fear or fear. As a strategist, he was clear about the meaning of an envoy, and even more clear about the dangers of an envoy.
There was danger right now.
But it was also his opportunity.
After Liu Zhengxi stood still, his gaze unhurriedly swept across the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, swept past Luo Yansheng, and also saw the four people sitting below. Whether it was Ta Mu 'er, Wu Na Shili, or even Yuan Yin and Yi Fusheng, Liu Zhengxi already knew.
Luo Yansheng and the other four were in power, this was not a secret.
With a little inquiry, one would know.
And from Ta Mu 'er, Wu Na Shili, and the others, they were all very unique. Ta Mu 'er had a full beard under his chin, and each of his whiskers was like steel needles. Wu Na Shili's skin was a little darker, and his body was tall and sturdy, the tallest of all.
The youngest was Yuan Yin.
Yi Fusheng was a Han, so it was easy to distinguish.
After Liu Zhengxi sized them up, he recognized the identities of the four people according to the information he had obtained.
This was Liu Zhengxi's preparation.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. If he didn't even know the most basic information, then it would be impossible to persuade Luo Yansheng. Opportunities were given to those who were prepared. Therefore, Liu Zhengxi had investigated all the information and was very clear about most of it.
Liu Zhengxi finally retracted his gaze and looked at Luo Yansheng. He bowed and said, "I'm Liu Zhengxi. I'm here on behalf of His Highness Ping Xi Wang of the Tang dynasty. Greetings, City Lord Luo."
Luo Yansheng said, "Liu Xiansheng is representing Ping Xi Wang to go to Yiwu City, what is your purpose?"
He didn't say anything for the time being.
Let's see what Liu Zhengxi has to say.
Liu Zhengxi smiled and said slowly, "Lord Luo, His Highness sent me here in the hope that Lord Luo can adapt to the situation and pledge allegiance to the Tang dynasty, become a member of the Tang dynasty, and serve His Highness."
"Hahaha …"
Luo Yansheng burst into laughter.
There was disdain in his laughter.
He seemed to be disdainful of Liu Zhengxi's words and even more disdainful of Du Qi ordering him to pledge allegiance. No matter how worried Luo Yansheng was, he had to be strong in front of Liu Zhengxi. He couldn't reveal any of his cowardice.
Liu Zhengxi looked at him quietly and didn't interrupt.
After a long while, Luo Yansheng stopped laughing and leaned forward slightly. His turbid eyes revealed a cold killing intent as he said in a deep voice, "Why don't you tell me why this City Lord should submit to Great Tang's Du Qi?"
"If you can tell me something that can convince this city lord, then you can escape death today."
"If you're just threatening me with empty words or making fun of me, then I'll leave you in Yiwu City today. I don't believe that a mere Du Qi can break my Yiwu City. "
Luo Yansheng's words were strong.
It was full of killing intent.
"You're right, City Lord."
Yi Fusheng nodded and said, "Liu Zhengxi, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you're from the Tang dynasty. This is the Western Region, this is Yiwu City. All the rules are not decided by Du Qi, but by City Lord. "
Tamu 'er slapped the table in front of him and stood up, "City Lord, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense. Just kill this guy first and then see what Du Qi dares to do. I don't believe that our Yiwu City's tens of thousands of elites will be afraid of a mere Du Qi. "
He was already full of fighting spirit.
Now that he opened his mouth, he glared and looked extremely angry.
Of course, Tamu 'er was not a simple person as he could be the head of a tribe. He was extremely shrewd. His boorish appearance was only a façade to confuse others. In reality, he was a very scheming person. In fact, Yiwu City's military strength was only 5,000 to 6,000 people, but he changed it to 10,000 people as soon as he opened his mouth.
10,000 elites was not a small number.
After Liu Zhengxi heard this, there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he was disdainful. He was very clear about the details of Yiwu City. After all, regardless of whether it was the spies of the First Under Heaven Pavilion, the spies of the merchants, or the locals that Liu Zhengxi asked, all of them only received the information of five to six thousand people.
Wu Na Li saw Liu Zhengxi's expression and snorted, "Looking at you, Liu Zhengxi, you don't seem to agree with us. Why, do you have any other thoughts in your heart? "
"Hahaha …"
When Liu Zhengxi heard this, he burst out laughing.
His laughter was extremely arrogant.
His laughter was even louder.
It echoed in the hall.
After a long while, Liu Zhengxi stopped laughing. His eyes were sharp, without the slightest timidity or retreat. His gaze fell on Tamu 'er, and he said with a smile, "You must be General Tamu' er."
"Yes!"
Tamu 'er heard this and his eyes widened.
He was a little surprised.
Because no one introduced his identity, Liu Zhengxi actually knew him clearly.
Liu Zhengxi said, "General Tamu 'er is a flag in Yiwu City. That is because the Na Zhi County in the west is under General Tamu 'er's jurisdiction. General Tamu 'er likes to fight and is the valiant general of Yiwu City's Luo City Lord. "
Tamu 'er snorted as a reply.
Liu Zhengxi had a smile on his face, and there was no fear on his face. He turned and looked at Wu Na Li, and said seriously, "You are the tribe leader of Wu Na Li, one of the pillars of Yiwu City."
"Wu Na Li tribe leader's people all live near Yiwu City. They are good at raising horses, and can be said to be an important supplier of Yiwu City's war horses. If we say that Yiwu City is able to stand firmly in the Western Regions without being attacked by bandits, without being plundered by bandits, then Wu Na Shili and his clansmen should have at least 30% of the credit. "
Liu Zhengxi said it very casually.
When Wu Na Li heard this, he was also very surprised. He turned and looked at Luo Yansheng, and felt that it was unbelievable. When he looked at Liu Zhengxi, there was no more contempt in his eyes. Instead, he valued Liu Zhengxi.
Luo Yansheng was also very surprised.
It was definitely Liu Zhengxi's first time here.
Yet, Liu Zhengxi knew every single one of them, which was surprising. Luo Yansheng's gaze fell on Yuan Yin and Yi Fusheng. He wanted to see if Liu Zhengxi could recognize the two of them.
