Yuan Yin couldn't help but ask, "Mister Liu, when did Tian Yu die?"
Liu Zhengxi said, "Tian Yu has been dead for a long time. The current First Tower Under Heaven is a brand new First Tower Under Heaven that works for His Highness."
Yuan Yin nodded and didn't say anything else.
Yuan Yin also nodded to Luo Yansheng.
Whether it was Yuan Yin, Luo Yansheng, or the others, none of them had the confidence to stop the First Tower Under Heaven's assassination. That was because the First Tower Under Heaven's assassins were hard to defend against and hard to deal with.
Liu Zhengxi looked at the shocked people and smiled faintly. In fact, this plan was something he came up with on his way here. It was half true and half bluffing.
It might not be easy to execute.
But now, he had to bluff as much as he could. He had to make Luo Yansheng and the others respect Du Qi.
It would make it easier for them to submit.
Liu Zhengxi chuckled and said, "City Lord Luo, everyone, in fact, these methods to deal with Yiwu City were all thought up by me. His Highness hasn't acted yet. With His Highness's ability, he must have more and more advanced methods. When the time comes, it will be easy to deal with Yiwu City. "
Luo Yansheng suddenly said, "Mister Liu, you said something just now. If I lead everyone to submit, can I still continue to govern Yiwu City?"
"Of course!"
Liu Zhengxi answered directly.
It involved stabilizing Luo Yansheng and the others. According to Liu Zhengxi's information, Luo Yansheng was a qualified ruler. Under Luo Yansheng's governance, Yiwu City was indeed doing well.
So, Liu Zhengxi agreed.
Liu Zhengxi continued, "His Highness uses people according to their abilities. City Lord Luo has the ability to govern, so His Highness is naturally happy. City Lord Luo, a wise man submits to circumstances. You can't stop the Tang dynasty. "
After a pause, Liu Zhengxi continued, "Not to mention, the Tang dynasty's imperial court has already arranged for General Su Dingfang to govern Guazhou and station troops there. Once His Highness and Su Dingfang join forces, Yiwu City won't be able to stop them at all. "
Luo Yansheng no longer had anything to consider. He looked at Tamu 'er and saw her nod. That was because the current Tamu 'er had already been beaten into submission by Xue Rengui.
Luo Yansheng then looked at Wu Nasili, Yuan Yin, and Yi Fusheng. The three of them nodded in agreement.
None of them wanted to be enemies with Du Qi.
Du Qi was simply too strong.
Luo Yansheng said in a deep voice, "Mr. Liu, you're really amazing. His mouth could be said to be full of brilliance. Even this old man almost couldn't control his turbulent emotions, so this old man is willing to lead everyone to pledge allegiance. The premise is that we are still in control of Yiwu City, but we are willing to listen to the orders of the Imperial Court. "
"Wrong!"
Liu Zhengxi shook his head and said, "City Lord Luo is following His Highness's order, not the imperial court's. Because after leaving Guazhou and Shazhou, the areas outside had been given to His Highness. "The Emperor of the Tang dynasty has decreed that the area to the west of Guazhou has been taken by Your Highness. It will be Your Highness's fief." "In the future, Your Highness will occupy the Western Regions and establish a country."
After a pause, Liu Zhengxi said with a smile, "City Lord Luo, this is actually your chance. Now that His Highness has just made a name for himself in the Western Regions, pledging allegiance to His Highness at this time is like sending charcoal in snowy weather. When His Highness has truly gained a foothold in the Western Regions, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to pledge allegiance to His Highness. "
"I, Luo Yansheng, am willing to pledge allegiance."
Luo Yansheng immediately agreed.
As for Luo Yansheng, he had decided to pledge allegiance, which made him feel relieved. The reason was very simple. This meant that he didn't have to bear any responsibility.
A smile appeared on Liu Zhengxi's face when he heard this.
Subduing the enemy without a fight.
This was the best result.
If they were to fight, there would be bloodshed eventually. Furthermore, once the massacre started, and a person like Luo Yansheng who was loved by the people died, it would definitely affect Du Qi's reputation. This was a situation that Liu Zhengxi didn't want to see.
Even when Liu Zhengxi heard Luo Yansheng pledge allegiance, he was still very calm. He said calmly, "City Lord Luo, General Ta Mu 'er, Clan Leader Wu Nasili, Mister Yuan, Mister Yi, I can guarantee that you will not regret following His Highness."
"Your peak will be at Yiwu City."
"In this lifetime, you will just wander around Yiwu City. There won't be a wider space or platform. But His Highness is different. The Imperial Court has given His Highness the area west of Yiwu City. As long as His Highness has conquered it, it will be His Highness's fief. "
"His Highness's goal is not just Yiwu City."
"He wants to expand to the west."
A light flashed across Liu Zhengxi's eyes. He said solemnly, "His Highness's goal is to kill his way to Persia after leaving the Western Regions. He wants to fight with the Persian Empire and establish a huge fief."
Liu Zhengxi had been collecting information.
So he knew that the countries in the Western Regions would enter the territory of the Persian Empire if they went west. Because he followed Du Qi, Liu Zhengxi already knew Du Qi's ambition and Du Qi's plan.
So now, Liu Zhengxi's ambition had greatly increased. He wanted to assist Du Qi in expanding to the west.
The Tang Dynasty was the sovereign state.
It was Du Qi's root.
Liu Zhengxi knew that Du Qi would definitely not develop his strength in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty was very powerful now. It was a truly tyrannical area. Du Qi also could not really kill his way into the Tang Dynasty. He would definitely expand to the west.
Luo Yansheng's body trembled. He said with a surprised expression, "His Highness Ping Xi Wang has such great ambitions. He even wants to touch the territory of the Persian Empire outside the Western Regions?"
Liu Zhengxi smiled and said, "Of course!"
After a pause, Liu Zhengxi said, "City Lord Luo, you haven't been in contact with His Highness. You don't know His Highness's ambition and ability. You'll slowly understand in the future. "
Luo Yansheng said, "I'll wait and see."
Luo Yansheng was also looking forward to the current situation.
Liu Zhengxi continued, "Okay, back to the main topic. City Lord Luo is willing to submit to His Highness and serve His Highness. The next thing is simple. City Lord Luo, please lead General Tamur and the others to the border area to welcome His Highness into Yiwu City. At the same time, City Lord Luo, please hand over the military power. "
The military power was the most important thing.
Liu Zhengxi could not hand over the military power to Luo Yansheng and the others at this moment.
Luo Yansheng had the ability to govern and was also ambitious. He could continue to be in power. However, the military power of Yiwu City must be firmly controlled by Du Qi. This was the bottom line. It was not negotiable.
Luo Yansheng nodded and said, "Of course. Since I've submitted, I won't cause any trouble."
After a pause, Luo Yansheng said, "Mister Liu, please wait for a moment. Give me two hours. I'll immediately make the arrangements and order the military power in the city to submit to His Highness. Then, I'll lead the others to the border with you to welcome His Highness's army. "
"Okay!"
Liu Zhengxi nodded and agreed.
Luo Yansheng immediately called for people to bring Liu Zhengxi and Xue Rengui to rest.
At this moment, Luo Yansheng looked around at the crowd and said, "Everyone, regarding the matter of submitting to Du Qi, do you have any objections now?"
"No!"
The crowd answered in unison.
To them, they could only submit now.
Moreover, after Liu Zhengxi described Du Qi's grand blueprint, they were all moved. They were indeed the overlords of this area in Yiwu City. It was extremely comfortable.
However, everyone had the desire to make a name for themselves. They all wanted to achieve great feats.
This was something that everyone hoped for.
Now that Du Qi was here, they could make use of Du Qi's platform to achieve great achievements. Therefore, they were all willing.
Luo Yansheng nodded and said, "Okay, since no one has any objections, pack up and quickly arrange and mobilize the troops. Later, we'll set off to the border with Liu Zhengxi. "
"Yes!"
The crowd responded and went to do their own things.
