"The two of you, calm down first!"
Looking at Yuan Fujie and Huangfu Ying who were arguing, Li Zhan said indifferently.
Hearing this, the two of them gradually stopped cursing and looked at each other coldly. Then, they snorted and turned to look at Li Zhan.
Li Zhan looked at the two of them." The two of you are fighting for the position of the Nine Li King. No one is willing to submit to the other. In that case, why don't we elect a new king to lead the seventy-two armies?"”
The hall immediately fell silent after his words sounded!
Yuan Fujie narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Zhan."Tribe Leader Li, the seventy-two alliance armies were left behind by my elder brother. What do you mean by that?!”
Huangfu Ying's eyes turned cold as he looked at Li Zhan and said coldly,"I wonder who the new dukedom king Patriarch Li is referring to?”
Li Zhan looked at Yuan Fujie and smiled."What I mean is to elect a suitable person to be the duke king, and this person has to be someone that both of you can accept wholeheartedly!”
"As for the candidate for the duke…"
Li Zhan glanced at Huangfu Ying and said lightly,"I feel that my brother Li Hu is very suitable!”
Swoosh!
After Li Zhan finished speaking, the hall fell silent again!
The atmosphere was terrifyingly tense!
In the next moment, Yuan Fujie, Huangfu Ying, and the dozens of dukes behind them stood up. Their auras were terrifying as they stared at Li Zhan.
"Tribe Leader Li, are you sure you didn't say anything wrong?" Yuan Fujie squinted his eyes. Our alliance of vassals wants you, the Jiuli Race, to be the vassal king?!”
"Haha!"
Li Zhan smiled faintly and didn't care about everyone's gaze. He turned his head and gestured to the people behind him. A middle-aged man slowly stood up and walked to Li Zhan.
This middle-aged man had a sturdy figure and a scar on his cheek, looking quite terrifying!
Li Zhan looked at everyone and smiled." Li Hu is the leader of the second tribe of our Jiuli Race. He is not weaker than me in terms of ability and strength. I think it is very suitable for him to be the king. What do you think?"”
Hualala!
As soon as Li Zhan finished speaking, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall.
Soon after, Jiuli Race warriors wearing animal skin uniforms and wielding spears and sabers walked in from outside the hall. They blocked the entrance and surrounded the various feudal vassals.
Upon seeing this scene, the expressions of Yuan Fujie, Huangfu Ying, and the various dukes under them immediately turned extremely ugly!
However, after sensing the valiant aura from the surrounding Jiuli Race warriors, no one dared to act rashly!
They had witnessed the power of these Jiuli Race warriors when they fought Grand Preceptor Wen together with the Jiuli Race!
These people were the most elite warriors of the Jiuli Tribe. Each of them had the ability to fight against a hundred people alone and they knew all kinds of strange secret techniques!
Yuan Fujie and Huangfu Ying's faces darkened. Even if they were stupid, they could see Li Zhan's intention!
There was no good feast!
Huangfu Ying glared at Li Zhan," Tribe Leader Li, have you thought about the consequences of doing this?!”
"Marquis Huangfu, you worry too much. Since I dare to do it, I'm naturally confident that I can handle everything." Li Zhan smiled faintly.”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At this moment, a figure suddenly stepped out of the hall and saluted Li Zhan, who was sitting on the main seat."We are willing to honor Leader Li Hu as the new king!”
These people were the 29 dukes that the Jiuli Race had roped in.
Facing the current situation, they stood up without hesitation. Clearly, they were prepared.
Seeing this, the expressions of Yuan Fujie, Huangfu Ying, and the other dukes instantly turned even uglier.
They knew that these 29 dukes were being roped in by the Jiuli Race, but they didn't expect that these people would directly join the Jiuli Race.
Although they had internal strife, it was also their own business.
However, it was a completely different story when it involved the Jiuli Race!
"Tian Jiguang, Xue Zhenhui, it's fine if you guys joined the Jiuli Race, but you actually openly betrayed the Barony Alliance!”
Huangfu Ying looked at these dukes with an ugly expression.
However, the various dukes did not give him any face at all. Some of them even directly shouted,
"Huangfu Ying, why don't you take a look at yourself? Do you think you are worthy of becoming a duke?"
"That's right! We don't want to die with you!"
"If you know what's good for you, surrender and hand over your military power obediently. Otherwise, today will be the day you die!”
Everyone spoke one after another, completely ignoring the expressions of Huangfu Ying and the other dukes.
At this moment, Li Zhan gently waved his hand, and the crowd gradually stopped criticizing.
Then, Li Zhan looked at Huangfu Ying and the others and said indifferently,"It's not that my clan doesn't care about morality, but with the crisis before us, why are you still engaging in internal strife? My clan and the marquises don't want to accompany you to your deaths, so since you can't make a decision, I'll make the choice for you!”
As he spoke, his gaze gradually turned cold. First, die! Second, hand over your military power and stay in our temple for a period of time. After we deal with the Shang army, we will discuss this matter again!”
"Don't even think about it!"
"Even if you kill us, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under our command can flatten your Jiuli Race in an instant!" Huangfu Ying shouted coldly.”
"Haha!"
Li Zhan chuckled and looked at Huangfu Ying."Marquis Huangfu, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that we need you to hold back the Shang army, we wouldn't even care about your mere four hundred thousand men!”
"Moreover, you can ask if the marquises are willing to die with you!”
Li Zhan turned his gaze to the various dukes behind Huangfu Ying and Yuan Fujie, his gaze meaningful.
Facing Li Zhan's gaze, the vassals hesitated and their eyes flickered.
However, a moment later, a person walked out and cupped his hands at Li Zhan."My Zizhou is also willing to honor Leader Li Hu as king.”
Huangfu Ying's expression changed." Ziya, you…"
Before he finished speaking, another figure walked out.
"Our Jian Province is willing to hand over our military power and honor Leader Li Hu as our king.”
"I, Lin Zhou, am also willing to hand over my military power…"
"I, Zhao Zhou, am also willing…"
In the blink of an eye, more than two-thirds of the dukes walked out and announced their submission.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of Huangfu Ying and Huangfu Yu turned extremely ugly. At this moment, there were only three to five people who were still standing behind them.
However, these three to five people were also pale, and their eyes were filled with struggle.
At this moment, everyone knew that the outcome was set!
Even if Huangfu Ying and Yuan Fujie didn't want to submit, they couldn't do anything.
Li Zhan looked at Huangfu Ying and Yuan Fujie calmly and said,"How is it? Are the two marquises still going to put up a stubborn resistance?”
The hall instantly fell silent.
Huangfu Ying and Yuan Fujie stared at Li Zhan.
However…
After a long silence.
In the end, the two of them looked away with gloomy expressions.
They were also clear that the situation was already over. There was no point in persisting anymore!
"I hope you keep your word!"
Huangfu Ying clenched his fists and glared at Li Zhan. He then took out a Tiger Tally and threw it at Li Zhan.
"Don't worry, Marquis Huangfu. As long as you cooperate well, I won't make things difficult for you." Li Zhan took it casually and said indifferently.”
Then, he turned to Yuan Fujie and said,"What about you? Little Marquis Yuan?"
Since Huangfu Ying had already expressed his stance, Yuan Fujie naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to take the risk.
His face was gloomy and he didn't say a word. However, he also took out the Tiger Tally and threw it to Li Zhan.
"It seems that everyone is a person who understands the times!”
A smile appeared on Li Zhan's face. He turned around and handed the two tiger talismans to Li Hu.
Then, he sat back down on the main seat and looked at the dukes. He smiled and said,"The situation is urgent, and I have no choice but to do this. I hope everyone can forgive me.”
Hearing this, all the dukes cupped their hands and said,
"Leader Li, what are you talking about? We are all in the same boat now, so we should conspire to resist Yinshang!”
"That's right. We are willing to respect Leader Li Hu as king. Leader Li, don't worry!”
"Yes! Now that the crisis is in front of us, we should think of a way to resist the Yinshang army first!”
"Alright!" Li Zhan nodded with a smile. Since no one has any objections, let's begin discussing the matter of resisting the Yinshang army. As far as I know, now…"
"Report ~!"
Before Li Zhan finished his words, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall.
Then, a Jiuli warrior walked in with an anxious expression. He cupped his hands and reported to Li Zhan,""Patriarch, bad news! The army of the Shang Dynasty invaded, and the fatuous Emperor Xin personally led the army. They have already entered Hokkaido and are rushing towards our tribe!”
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
