Persuade! Li Ke's momentum!
The atmosphere in the room was extremely somber.
Those Dangxiang clansmen were all armed with sharp weapons. They were tall and sturdy, and their bodies were filled with killing intent. If an ordinary person were to face such a powerful pressure, they would have been frightened out of their wits.
However, Li Ke's expression did not change at all when he faced them. He only looked at Tuoba Chici calmly, his eyes as dark as ink.
Tuoba Chici stared at Li Ke with his tiger eyes. The two of them sized each other up without any fear. Neither of them was willing to show weakness or take the lead to look away.
Just like that, the oppressive silence lasted for an unknown period of time before Tuoba Chici broke the silence. He sneered and said,""A former prince wanted by the imperial court actually dares to say such words. Don't you think it's ridiculous?”
"You even said that you would point out a way out for us. What about you? Do you have a way out?"
Because the Imperial Roll had already reached this place, and there was also a portrait of Li Ke on it, Tuoba Chici recognized Li Ke at first glance.
When Li Ke heard this, he didn't care. He still had a calm expression on his face, as if he had everything under control. He smiled and said,"Since you know that this king is already wanted, then you should have heard that the Imperial Court has already taken back those Imperial Rankings and even praised this king's matter wantonly, right?”
Tuoba Chici frowned.
To be honest, the series of actions by the imperial court had left him very confused.
In the beginning, there was an imperial notice saying that they would go all out to capture Li Ke.
However, who knew that not long after, the Imperial Board was taken away and replaced with a new one. Although it was still to arrest Li Ke, the reason for the crime was less.
Then, a few days later, just yesterday, the Imperial Court took back the Imperial Rankings and posted a new one.
However, this Imperial List was different from the previous ones. This time, not only was it not a wanted order for Li Ke, but it was also a compliment. It said how kind Li Ke was and even asked the people of the world to learn from Li Ke's kindness.
This series of actions really left many people dumbfounded. They did not understand what trick the imperial court was playing.
However, Tuoba Chici knew that Li Ke must have done something extraordinary to force the Imperial Court to change the contents of the Imperial Roll one after another. In the end, he had no choice but to pinch his nose and change the list from wanted to praised.
Tuoba Chici admired all of these.
Tuoba Chici knew that he could never do this. In fact, in the entire world, only Li Ke could do this.
But…this was not enough for him to let Li Ke go and trust him.
"So what?" Tuoba Chici sneered.”
Li Ke laughed and said,"The meaning of this is very big."”
"Firstly, the Imperial Court wants this king and has smeared this king in such a manner. Therefore, you can believe that this king is completely on the opposite side of this cold-blooded Imperial Court.”
Upon hearing Li Ke's words, the expressions of Tuoba Chici and the other Dangxiang clansmen changed slightly.
Recalling the contents of the letter, Tuoba Chici's expression darkened even more.
Li Ke did not care about everyone's expressions and continued,"Second, I was able to force the Imperial Court to retract their orders in less than a month by myself. I even wanted to reward me. This represents my strategy and courage. You can trust me.”
"The third is Yizhou, which I am in charge of. There are many ethnic groups in Yizhou, not only the Han, but also the Miao and other ethnic groups.”
" They lived in Yizhou and were not ostracized at all. On the contrary, they mingled with each other and lived a happy life. In Yizhou, there was no distinction between races, only the hardworking and brave people of Yizhou.”
Li Ke raised his head and looked at Tuoba Chici with a sincere smile. His entire person seemed to have the ability to make people subconsciously trust him."Therefore, if the Dangxiang clan went to Yizhou, they would definitely not face your current situation. Your clansmen would only live richer and better lives.”
Tuoba Chici quietly listened to Li Ke's words and frowned. The other clan members were also tempted.
However, after a moment of silence, one of the clansmen suddenly said,"You went against the Imperial Court. Even if you make the Imperial Court lower its head now, the Imperial Court will definitely not let you off, right? If we follow you, won't we die?”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Ke, including Tuoba Chici. They wanted to know how Li Ke would answer this question.
As for Li Ke, he did not panic at all. He was still as calm as the deputy general who had everything under control.
"Let's not talk about this king first.”
Li Ke lightly said," You don't have to hide it. This King knows that you have the intention of betraying the Great Tang and are about to take action. As for the person you are seeking refuge with, this King can also guess that it is Tuyuhun, right?”
When Tuoba Chici and the others heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
Li Ke continued," You don't have to be nervous. This is also one of This King's abilities. You should be happy because This King is far more powerful than you think."”
"Let's continue talking about you guys. Do you really think that you'll be safe and sound after joining Tuyuhun? Wrong! This king will tell you the truth. Tuyuhun has repeatedly invaded the border and has reached the limits of the Great Tang's tolerance. If you continue to side with Tuyuhun, the Great Tang will definitely send an army to attack Tuyuhun in a fit of anger.”
"Tuyuhun is a small country with an army of at most five hundred thousand. Do you think they can resist the Great Tang's cavalry? "In the end, Tuyuhun will only end up with the destruction of his country and his family. You traitors will only end up worse!”
"But what about This King?"
The corners of Li Ke's mouth curled up, and his entire body's aura suddenly rose. He gave Tuoba Chici and the others the feeling that he was facing a tall mountain, and they could only admire him.
"I have a territory in Yizhou that is easy to defend and hard to attack. I have 50,000 elites, and now there are a million refugees rushing to Yizhou. They will become my new blood.”
"This way, this king will have an army of 200,000. More importantly, the Imperial Court has wantonly slaughtered the people and has long lost the hearts of the people. However, this king has lent a helping hand at the critical moment, so the hearts of the people are all on this king! With a wave of this king's hand, the clouds will definitely respond!”
"This king can attack and retreat. I can also occupy the righteous cause and the hearts of the people!”
"You guys say…"
Li Ke looked at Tuoba Chici and said loudly,""Is your path a dead end, or is this king's path a dead end?”
"This king thinks of your hardships and wants to let the bloodline of your race be passed down forever. I will give you a way out. Then, this way of living, do you want it or not?”
