The Emperor is Above

Chapter 578 Not Everyone Is Qualified
Old Man Shi spoke in a stern voice.

Xing Zhongkang finally felt the anxiety in the old man's heart.

He hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "Old Man Shi, is the situation in the world so dangerous?"

"Ah, Lord, do you think that Xing's biggest enemy is the Black Wind Kingdom, Chong Kingdom? Or is it the Yuezhi people from the north of Yunling and the foreign tribes outside the wilderness?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Old Man Shi shook his head vigorously and said, "Neither. These seemingly extremely powerful enemies are actually just the prelude to the chaotic times. The real powerful enemies have not yet appeared."

Then he told Xing Zhongkang what he had learned from Shi Dazhu about the ghosts, evil gods, and monsters in the underworld, leaving him stunned.

After a long while, he exclaimed, "No wonder you are always worried lately, Mr. Shi. Are you really sure that Long Chengyi is the hero who can save the human world?"

"I am not concluding that he is the hero who can save the human world, but he is the only one who has hope in the entire world!" Old Man Shi looked at Xing Zhongkang with a complicated expression.
“At present, Long Chengyi has nineteen first-grade masters and four saint-level masters under his command. It would be effortless for him to sweep across the seventy-six countries in the Northern Wasteland.

Long Chengyi has a broad mind, cares about all living beings in the world, and is an impressive person. Only he is tolerant enough to unite all forces.

Therefore, I want you to personally petition the Emperor to confer the title of vassal on Longcheng Yi, in the hope of establishing a greater affinity and allowing both sides to form an alliance to fight the enemy.

In addition, most of the lands that are part of the territory of Longcheng Yi are from the Xianyu tribe. Xingguo only needs to give up the poor land in the northern border. Why should you be so stingy?"

"Ugh!"

Xing Zhongkang could not help but sigh and said, "Longcheng Yi Yaqing is indeed a hidden dragon. The small pond of Xing State can no longer accommodate his unpredictable behavior.

If my father and the other officials in the court had been more kind and supportive of him, the entire Xing State would have been able to cope with the turbulent times more calmly now."

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Xing Zhongkang finally gritted his teeth and said, "In this case, I will contact Guanzi, Marquis Cai, and Marquis Qi to submit a letter to the emperor.

Please enthrone Long Chengyi as the prince of a vassal state, command the northern border and even the old land of Xianyu, serve as a barrier for the countries in the northern wilderness, and protect the safety of all countries.

I just hope that he will remember our friendship today and the relationship between the two sides, and help the Xing Kingdom survive the next catastrophe safely."

As a dozen Flying Eagle Guards left with the letters and memorials from Xing Hou Xing Zhongkang, it caused a stir in various countries and Diqiu, which in turn led to a series of changes.

······
Daiguo.

This vassal state was located in the northernmost part of the Dashen Dynasty.

In the past, the people lived in peace and security thanks to their tough folk customs and steep high fortresses.

Unlike the State of Xing, which suffered two national disasters, the people of the country have lived a relatively prosperous life for hundreds of years.

However, all this happiness and beauty vanished into thin air when the Yuezhi army conquered the Gaocheng fortress, and the entire country fell completely under the ravages of the foreign army.

After the elite army of Dai was destroyed, millions of common people, no matter how brave and strong they were, were nothing but a group of scattered sand and were no match for the Yuezhi army.

Even if hundreds of thousands of Chinese people spontaneously organized themselves and continuously attacked the Yuezhi army, they would only be met with more brutal killings.

The descendants of the hundreds of tribes who followed the Yuezhi army southward were apparently welcomed by the Yuezhi before the attack on Gaocheng Fortress, but became the targets of exclusion by the Yuezhi when they came to looting the spoils.

The descendants of hundreds of tribes, numbering as many as 600,000 to 700,000 people, were arranged by the Moon God Palace Master to attack several ordinary small cities in the northwest of Dai State. They were not qualified to rob spoils from other cities.

What made the Yuezhi people secretly happy was that the giant chief of the Qingtian clan, who led the descendants of hundreds of tribes, endured it silently without any resistance.

Most of the simple-minded Yuezhi warriors were only happy that they had lost a powerful competitor, and some thought that this was because they were afraid of the power of the Moon God Palace Master.

Even the descendants of the hundreds of tribes who used to obey his orders began to feel dissatisfied with the giant leader and often complained in private.

However, no matter how the descendants of the hundreds of tribes complained, the always unfathomable giant patriarch of the Qingtian clan never changed his decision. Yangshan City is located at the foot of the mountain at the southeast top of Yunling Mountain. Even though it is the most remote of the several small cities they occupy, it is also the richest.

Due to the huge size of the Titans, it was not convenient for them to enter the small human city. So they built simple houses with huge logs on a high hill seven or eight miles outside the city.

Logs with a diameter of ten feet were used as sturdy pillars to build a simple building that was ten feet high. The inside was also simply paved with a layer of wood, roughly displaying the primitive beauty of power.

At this moment, a dim animal oil lamp was lit in the huge house. The huge wick was swaying in the wind, making the giant warrior of Kuafu clan on guard feel sleepy.

The flickering light and shadows flashed in the giant leader's wise eyes. He was thinking about many complicated things. Suddenly, his whole aura suddenly burst out and he asked in a low voice: "Who?"

The two giant warriors of the Kuafu clan who were secretly dozing off were suddenly awakened, and quickly gripped the simple weapons in their hands, staring at the darkness outside.

"Father, don't do it, it's me!"

Optimus Prime's voice rang out in the darkness. He didn't dare to play tricks in front of his powerful father. It was best to be honest.

"Is it your boy?"

The giant leader was shocked. "Weren't you captured? Xianyu King's brother Mochu led hundreds of thousands of people to join the Yuezhi people, but you came back."

"Father, I came back to persuade you to choose a new path forward!" Optimus Prime had a complicated expression, and then turned around and said, "My lord, you should come forward!"

In the dim light, Qing Yi walked out of the darkness with a warm smile on his face, bowed his hands sincerely and said, "The old patriarch is indeed outstanding. No wonder he can cultivate such an outstanding talent as Optimus Prime."

The Optimus Prime giant patriarch looked at Qing Yi in surprise, and after a long while he spoke: "Are you a Qi Refiner? I wonder what your inheritance is?"

"Father, the lord inherited the mantle of Jiang You, the god of war of all races!" Optimus Prime couldn't help but interrupt, but was glared at by his father and dared not say another word.

Instead, Qing Yi was somewhat surprised and said, "The old clan leader's eyes are indeed sharp. Yes, I am indeed a Qi Refiner, and I am almost at the perfection of the supernatural power realm.

Of course, I also comprehended the War God Jiang You's sword intent and learned some good sword moves, but to say that I am a War God's disciple is just a joke."

Hearing these words, the expression of the giant chief of the Qingtian clan softened a lot. He waved his hand and asked the two somewhat nervous giant warriors of the Kuafu clan to leave.

Then he narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Qing Yi for a long time, and then said: "Your Excellency killed the King of Xianyu, captured 800 giant warriors under my son, and subdued hundreds of thousands of Xianyu's troops.

You left all these things unattended and traveled thousands of miles to Yangshan City in Dai State. Could it be that you also want to recruit me through my son?"

"No, no, it's not my intention to recruit!"

Qing Yi had a faint smile on his face, “The reason why I brought Optimus Prime here to meet the old patriarch is to tell him what kind of allies are worthy of mutual dependence and interdependence.

I think the old patriarch knows better than me how the various tribes were treated when they formed an alliance with the Yuezhi people, and what happened to them after they broke through the Gaocheng Fortress."

"The Yuezhi are indeed not good allies. This is the consequence of the destruction of the Xianyu tribe!" The chief of the Qingtian clan pondered for a moment and said in a cold tone,

"However, Your Excellency intends for us to abandon the Yuezhi and form an alliance with Your Excellency. I wonder if you have the qualifications for us to betray you? Not everyone is worthy of our alliance."

"Bingo——"

Qing Yi snapped his fingers loudly, and Mr. Bai Yuan, Mr. Qing Yu, Mr. Shui Jing, and Mr. Wu Liu walked out of the darkness together.

"Old Patriarch, I wonder if showing your strength like this is considered as having the qualifications?"
