In the prefecture capital of Youzhou City.
Luo Yi was pacing in the hall, waiting for Liu Wuzhou to return.
Suddenly, the guard rushed in and shouted,""Steward Liu has been killed by King Reliance, and he's heading toward Youzhou City!”
Rumble!
A bolt of lightning struck Luo Yi's head, causing his body to instantly freeze in shock.
"Then why did King Reliance... why did he kill Steward Liu?”
Luo Yi's voice trembled. He was so stunned that he could not believe his ears.
"Chief, King Reliance beheaded Chief Liu for abandoning the city and the people!”
Luo Yi shivered, and his eyes were filled with shock and horror.
"This King Reliance is actually so vicious. This...."
Luo Yi lost his composure.
"Father, the Third Prince has just arrived in Youzhou Province and killed First Uncle to establish his prestige. How can we just sit by and do nothing? How about we quickly gather our troops and occupy Youzhou City to rebel?”
Behind him, his young son, Luo Cheng, spoke indignantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the personal guard entered again.
"Chief, King Reliance used Chief Liu's head to open the way. The guards at the south gate are panicking and have opened the city gates. King Reliance is leading the Black Flag Army into the city and is heading towards the prefecture capital.”
Luo Yi's body shook and swayed a few times, his expression stunned.
Luo Cheng's expression changed as well." King Reliance acts like lightning," he said in surprise." He's already entered the city. Father, what should we do?"”
Luo Yi took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and let out a helpless sigh.
"King Reliance and the Black Flag Army have already entered the city. It's too late for us to do anything. If we raise an army to rebel now, we'll be courting death.”
Luo Yi didn't dare to act rashly and quickly brought his son and the officials who stayed behind to welcome them.
As soon as he arrived at the gate, a young king with a god-like figure stood in front of the gate.
The invisible deterrent force emitted from that youth made Luo Yi shiver involuntarily, instinctively not daring to look up.
In this world, only King Reliance could have such an imposing manner.
Luo Yi hurriedly went down the steps and bowed,""I am Luo Yi, the Deputy Chief of Youzhou. Greetings, King Reliance.”
Before he could finish his sentence, something was thrown in front of him.
The bloody head was Liu Wuzhou's head.
Luo Yi's entire body trembled, and his face instantly turned pale. He was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Luo Yi, listen up!"
Li Xuanlie shouted coldly.
Luo Yi wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and hurriedly lowered his head to listen to the order.
"Liu Wuzhou has committed a great crime. This king has already executed him on the spot. Quickly hang his head under the city gate for public display.”
" I've been ordered by my father to take over the military and political power of the Sixteen Prefectures of the Dark Cloud State. Immediately summon all the civil and military officials of the Serenity Plains who are above Rank-6 to the prefecture capital to listen to my orders!”
"Also, take the heads of the Turks this king brought and build a capital for this king outside Youzhou City at night. This king wants the Turks to know that I, Li Xuanlie, have come!”
"Quickly do it!"
Li Xuanlie's words were like thunder as he gave three orders in one breath. Luo Yi was trembling with fear.
"Yes, I will do it immediately."
How could Luo Yi dare to hesitate? He hurriedly agreed and retreated to the side in fear.
Li Xuanlie dragged his blood-stained halberd and rode into the state capital.
The Youzhou officials and soldiers in the manor all looked fearful and terrified. They lowered their heads to welcome him, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Luo Yi stood outside the door, not daring to breathe loudly. It was only when Li Xuanlie entered the residence for a long time and his son softly reminded him that he dared to raise his head.
"This King Reliance is truly ruthless. The Youzhou Province that we have worked so hard to develop has been taken over by him so easily. Even Big Brother has lost his life. Sigh ~~"
Luo Yi shook his head and sighed. He was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.
"Father, King Reliance is indeed extraordinary. What should we do now?”
Luo Cheng was no longer as arrogant as before. His eyes flickered with deep fear.
"Quickly send someone to secretly report to Prince Jin and ask for his next instructions," Luo Yi said in a low voice.”
"Understood."
…
Overnight, Li Xuanlie took over Youzhou's military and political power.
It was not until dawn that the officials and people of Youzhou learned that Liu Wuzhou had been executed and that the owner of Youzhou City had changed.
The entire city was in an uproar.
"King Reliance sure is ruthless. He killed Steward Liu as soon as he arrived in Youzhou. Such thunderous methods are truly terrifying!”
"King Reliance is a god-like soldier. He just defeated the Turks, and now he's in charge of Youzhou.”
"That's true. Steward Liu only cared about preserving his strength and allowed the Turks to do whatever they wanted in Youzhou.”
…
Justice was in the hearts of the people. Liu Wuzhou's actions were seen by the soldiers and the people, and they had long been resentful.
Li Xuanlie's thunderous actions won the trust of the officials and the people overnight.
By the time the sky brightened, the Turkic heads had already been piled up outside Youzhou.
Li Xuanlie stood on the city wall, admiring the blood-built capital, his face burning with killing intent that was as cold as ice.
"Jie Li, are you surprised by this meeting gift this king gave you?”
…
In the golden tent of the Turkic camp.
"What? The 50,000-strong army was wiped out, and the second prince was killed by Li Xuanlie?”
In the tent, Jie Li learned of this shocking bad news and jumped up in shock, shouting angrily.
The fleeing Turkic soldiers trembled in fear as they recounted the events.
Jie Li's face was red, his eyes were bloodshot, and endless shock and anger burned all over his body.
Shua!
Jie Li pulled out his knife angrily and cut the table into two.
"Li Xuanlie, you killed my beloved son. If I don't kill you, I swear I won't retreat ~"
A roar of grief and indignation echoed in the tent.
Yeon Gaesomun's face was pale as he gasped.
" 50,000 cavalrymen are gone in the blink of an eye. This Third Prince of the Tang Empire is truly terrifying."
Yeon Gaesomun's eyes had a hint of retreat.
At this moment, the personal guards barged into the main tent.
"Reporting to Khagan, Li Xuanlie used the heads of our dead soldiers to pile up a capital in front of our camp to demonstrate his strength to our army!”
Jie Li, who was originally standing, swayed and fell down.
