Just as Xiang Shaoyu and Long Qie were discussing animatedly.
On the other side, Ying Zheng also revealed a smile as if his evil plan had succeeded, because the High Priest and Xiao Li who were kneeling before him had no choice but to agree to his conditions and become his female slaves.
Ying Zheng gave Great Si Ming a meaningful look, then smiled and said to the High Priest and Little Li under the clear and beautiful eyes of Young Si Ming,"
"Since that's the case, I'll trust you one more time and save your Lou Lan.”
As he spoke, Ying Zheng activated all the true energy in his body and added it to his voice as he said loudly,"
"Everyone, stop!”
Although Ying Zheng was not a martial arts expert at the moment, he was still more mature than Long Qi in terms of the usage of true energy.
Ying Zheng's voice reverberated in the sky above Loulan, clearly reaching everyone's ears, causing them to subconsciously stop fighting, and at the same time, make a path for them to look at Ying Zheng.
Even Master Gen, whose mind was being controlled by the Demonic Sword of Chiyou, stopped. Several members of the Eight Petites slowly stopped behind him.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng's eyes sparkled with a bright light, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He took two steps forward and continued to use his true energy to enhance his voice,"
"All Loulan citizens, listen up. Even though you Loulan people have played me time and time again and even wanted to kill me, I have decided to repay evil with good and let go of past grudges. I will help you get through this crisis and give you a piece of land to live in.”
"What did he say? He wants to give us a piece of land?”
"Everyone, don't believe him. We were going to kill all of them, the foreigners of the Qin country, just now. How could he help us? Not to mention giving us a new territory.”
"Yes, yes, I think he must be lying. Besides, our Lou Lan is good at everything, why should we go to his Zi Qin country?”
"We're not going anywhere. We swear to protect Lou Lan and our homeland!!”
Ying Zheng's words were like a stone being thrown into a calm lake, causing the remaining thousand Loulan people to boil with excitement. They all expressed their thoughts loudly.
But most of them were against it and didn't believe it.
"Loulan citizens, listen to me!”
Seeing the Loulan citizens getting more and more agitated, the High Priest raised his scepter high and looked at the Loulan citizens who had immediately quieted down. He said loudly,
"The ancient city of Loulan is the place where the people of Loulan have lived and multiplied for generations. It is the wealth and treasure left by our ancestors to the people of Loulan. If we were not forced to, who would be willing to leave the homeland that nurtured the people of Loulan?”
"However, please think about our children and grandchildren. Think about our children in swaddling clothes. Do we really want them to be slaughtered by Yan Dan and the Chu soldiers here? Do you really want us Loulan citizens to die without descendants in our generation and become a legend in the desert? Become dust in the desert?"
Despite the unwillingness in his heart, and the desire to cut Ying Zheng into pieces, who had forced them to become female slaves and had to pretend to be righteous and repay evil with good, for the sake of the people of Loulan and the future of Loulan, the High Priest had no choice but to continue speaking up for Ying Zheng,"
"Loulan's tribulation is a test from the heavens, the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens. Now that the dragon soul has been taken away by that brutal outsider Yan Dan, I believe that he will activate the ancient mechanical beast soon. Think about it, with Yan Dan's cruelty and ruthlessness, will he let us go?”
"By then, the people of Loulan will be exterminated by him. Our children and the future of Loulan will be ruined in Yan Dan's hands.!”
"Everyone, think about it again. Although Loulan is good, because of the loss of the dragon souls over the years, water, food, and the desert have become Loulan's greatest threats. Loulan has long been at the end of its rope. The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, let bygones be bygones and was willing to repay evil with good to save our people. He was even willing to give us a piece of Great Qin's territory to help us get out of the desert and get rid of the threat. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about our descendants!!”
"Yes, we can ignore it, but what about the children? We can endure it, but can the children?”
"Yes, yes. Water and food have been getting more and more scarce these years, and the dragon soul has been taken away by that cruel and heartless Yan Dan. Is our Lou Lan really going to perish?”
"Not only that, but Yan Dan is also going to activate the ancient mechanical beasts to kill us all. This is a critical moment of life and death for Lou Lan.”
The High Priest's words immediately caused the people of Loulan to lower their heads and start discussing.
Seeing that the people agreed with his words, the high priest hurriedly said,
"Now, only with the help of the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, can Loulan survive this crisis and continue to live.”
Amidst the silence of the people of Loulan, Ying Zheng, who was standing in front of the High Priest, also took a step forward and said in a loud voice,"
"Let bygones be bygones. As long as your Loulan people submit to Great Qin, I will let bygones be bygones and ensure your eternal peace!!”
In any case, the original tens of thousands of Loulan people were now only left with a thousand or so people. There was no difference whether he saved them or not. However, if he saved them, it would be a huge wave of prestige.
"But…how can we trust you?”
"Yes, yes. How do we know if you're pretending to agree and then killing us instead?”
Someone in the crowd asked everyone's question, and someone immediately echoed.
Ying Zheng did not care about the doubts of the Loulan people. He smiled and said,"
"I am the ruler of Great Qin, and my words carry weight. Of course, if you don't believe me, then it's up to you. I don't have time to waste here with you.”
Sometimes, people were just cheap!
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, both the High Priest and Xiao Li were shocked. The people of Loulan fell silent as well, staring at Ying Zheng with their eyes wide open.
In the end, it was the High Priest who took the lead to kneel down in front of Ying Zheng and said,"
"We're willing to submit to Great Qin and become Great Qin's citizens. Long live the King of Qin!! Long live Great Qin!"
"Long live the King of Qin! Long live Great Qin!"
The people of Loulan also hurriedly knelt down and shouted. Since the highest authority of Loulan, the High Priest, had said so, what else could they do? Even if they didn't trust Ying Zheng, they should have trusted the High Priest, right?
"Long live? Haha!"
At this moment, an extremely arrogant and disdainful voice rang out. Immediately after, a massive object that blotted out the sun suddenly appeared in the sky above Loulan Square. Immediately, the sky darkened, and Yan Dan's cold voice filled with killing intent continued to ring out.
"This day next year will be the anniversary of your death, Ying Zheng, and these stupid Loulan people!!”
