The Emperor is Above

Chapter 584 The cunning fox

The Horse King, the Deer King, and the Aries King looked at each other helplessly.

Even if you have to submit to this human boy, at least negotiate a good price.

However, he did not expect that this rough and stupid Tuzhu King would not only sell himself but also drag other tribes into it.

But when they saw the smiling expression on Qingtianshu's face, the three of them felt a sudden pang in their hearts.

King Tushu is indeed not stupid. Since even the Giant Tribe of the Qingtian Clan and the Taurus Tribe have decisively submitted to him, he must not be too bad.

After thinking about this, the Horse King, the Deer King, and the Aries King smiled bitterly, shook their heads helplessly, and came to Qing Yi to pay their respects.

"Since the old patriarch, the Taurus King, and the Tushu King have chosen to submit, they must believe in the noble character of the lord. We are also willing to submit to the lord."

Qing Yi smiled and helped the three of them up: "You can make this decision, which shows your trust in me. I will definitely not let down the trust of the various tribes in the future."

Seeing that the tribes had chosen to submit, King Taurus smiled happily and said, "The world is in turmoil now, and with the small number of people in our tribes, we are not qualified to participate.

The wars between various countries and forces could kill us and destroy our clans at any time, only under the command of the lord can we still have a place to stand."

The Horse King said with some emotion: "Old Cow, you are right. After going south, I realized that the human race has become so large. A small Dai country has two to three million people."

According to the descriptions of the chiefs of each tribe, the Maoqiu tribe conquered by Qing Yi was one of the top three strongest tribes, and the remaining tribes were also ranked in the top ten.

Qing Yi conquered half of the top ten tribes in one breath, including the preeminent giant tribe of the Qingtian clan. He felt secretly relieved that today's operation was relatively smooth.

Then he turned his head and looked at the stunned twenty or so small tribal chiefs, showing an even warmer and brighter smile and asked:

"As you have seen, the Giant Tribe of the Qingtian Clan, the Maoqiu Tribe, and the Horse King Tribes have all chosen to submit to me. What are you going to choose?"

Seeing the hesitation on the faces of the tribe leaders, who were slow to respond, Qing Yi continued to speak slowly:
"It has been more than half a month since you crossed the Yunling Gaocheng Fortress and arrived in Dai State. You should have a better understanding of the current situation.

The Xianyu tribe, which had formed an alliance with all the other tribes and the Yuezhi people, has been completely destroyed in my hands. This shows that your decision to go south and attack the Northern Wilderness was a mistake.

The Yuezhi people were indeed quite shrewd. When they learned that the Xianyu tribe had been destroyed, they chose to continue their alliance with the Black Wind Kingdom without hesitation. "

Hearing this, the expressions of more than 20 small tribal chiefs were gloomy. It was obvious that they also understood what Qing Yi said, and their hearts were already filled with worries.

Qing Yi seemed not to notice their expressions and continued to talk to himself: "The Yuezhi people and the Black Wind Tribe are both descendants of the Kingdom of God, and are natural allies.

The Lord of the Moon God Palace once sent priests to preach to your tribes. It seems that the priests acted on their own, but aren't they the Yue people testing whether you are of one mind?
It was precisely because they saw that all ethnic groups were extremely averse to the belief in evil gods that the Yuezhi people decisively abandoned you as their ally after conquering the Gaocheng Fortress.

The hundreds of tribes that have lost their usefulness will inevitably become enemies of the Yuezhi people and the Black Wind Kingdom if they do not choose to believe in the evil god one day.

With only the existing 600,000 to 700,000 people from the hundreds of tribes, you have no chance at all to gain a foothold in the war-torn Northern Wilderness.

Even if you don't want to participate in the war, and don't want to submit to anyone, but since the tribesmen have experienced the warmth of the Northern Wilderness, how can they bear to return to their homeland? "Seeing that the young clan leaders did not respond for a long time, and each of them looked embarrassed, the irritable Tushu King couldn't help but spit:

“Even the old patriarch, the Taurus King, and the Horse King, we all made our choices decisively, so why should you small tribes hesitate?
More than twenty tribes may seem like a lot, but the total number of people in them is not as many as ours. The largest Xuantu tribe has only more than 4,000 people, and the Chiji tribe has only one or two hundred people.

Do you think the old patriarch will deceive you? Do you think there is any better way out for your tribes to choose?"

After being scolded by the Tushu King, more than 20 chiefs of small tribes dared not say a word and turned their eyes to the Fox Hill chief Hu Yan.

King Tushu was even more unhappy now, and shouted unceremoniously: "Humph, I knew it was you, an old fox, who was stirring up trouble behind the scenes!"

"Hey, don't blame me, don't blame me!"

Hu Yan smiled awkwardly, his facial features looking more like a fox. He bowed and apologized to Qing Yi, Qing Tian Shu, Jin Niu Wang and the others, and explained quickly,

"Our tribes are not as strong as yours. We are used to being cautious and prudent at ordinary times, so it is inevitable that we have to be more cautious and prudent at this time."

"Patriarch Hu Yan should be good at magic and talismans. I wonder what you are good at?" Qing Yi had a warm smile on his face, but he was actually observing with his divine eye.

This old fox, who seemed to be in his sixties or seventies, was not physically very strong, and at most was comparable to the physique of a sixth-rank upper-armored warrior. However, his body was filled with rich spiritual energy and had a strong mental strength, clearly at the level of a second-rank magic practitioner.

"We Fox Hill people are physically weak, but thanks to our strong spiritual talents, most of us practice rune formations and study strategies."

Hu Yan didn't dare to act rashly in front of Qing Yi, but he didn't want to make a decision easily. He asked carefully,
“I just have a question in my mind. I hope Lord Yi Ya of Longcheng will not blame me. After all, there are great differences between us Hundred Races and the human race. Our temperaments, habits, and customs are different.

I wonder if each tribe will be treated preferentially after they submit? Otherwise, with the human race numbering more than a billion, and our tribes being so few in number, we will inevitably be bullied a lot."

"The old patriarch is worrying too much!"

A cold light flashed in Qing Yi's eyes, "In my fiefdom, all tribes and people are treated equally, and no class with super rights and interests will be allowed to appear.

If I give more preferential treatment to the tribes today because of their small population, won't it make them superior to the human race in the future? It will also lead to the human race being hostile to the tribes. There is no need to mention this matter again."

Hu Yan couldn't help but shrink his neck. The cold light in Qing Yi's eyes made him a little afraid, but he still suppressed the fear in his heart and continued to make a request:

"Since Yaqing has heard of the Hundred Races Alliance, he should also know about the Hundred Races Council of Elders. If the Hundred Races come under Yaqing's command, can we continue to form a Hundred Races Council of Elders?"

Qing Yi saw through the selfishness of this old fox at a glance. For the Huqiu clan, who were good at strategy, the Senate was simply tailor-made for them.

Relying on the intelligence of the Fox Hill clan, they constantly win over various weak ethnic tribes and are able to call the shots in the Senate of Hundred Clans and even threaten the authority of the lord.

Seeing this, Qing Yi unceremoniously rejected the old fox's suggestion and said with a hint of coldness in his eyes:

"Chief Hu Yan has repeatedly made these requests. Could it be that he is unwilling to submit to my command? If not, please leave at your own convenience!"
