Ye Li asked: "So what is the current strength of Juxin City?"
Qian San replied: "The strength of Juxin City was originally not much different from ours. The strongest one was a spiritual warrior in the late stage of the Divine Phase, named Liu Boshan.
There are only about 4,000 soldiers left, and now they can only defend their territory and dare not go out at all."
Hearing his words, Ye Li asked: "What's the situation with the Peacock Clan?"
Qian San said: "The Peacock Clan should have three strongest Spiritual Warriors at the peak of the Divine Phase, with a force of between 7,000 and 9,000 people. They are very powerful, and even if we put our forces together, we may not be their opponents.
However, the Peacock Clan did not dare to send out all their troops, after all, they still had their own territory to defend. "
After thinking for a while, Ye Li said, "There is no time to lose. Qian San, get ready. We will go to Juxin City tomorrow."
Things have come to this point and Ye Li can no longer delay. If Juxin City is taken over by the Peacock Clan, their Dongfang County will definitely be their next target.
At that time, even if he asked Li Rushan for help and the court could send some people to support him, they would not be able to stay here forever. After all, the new emperor has ascended the throne and his power is not yet very solid. The army at his disposal should be used as little as possible to prevent possible changes.
The situation is not the worst for him now. If he can conspire with the people in Juxin City, maybe things can turn around.
Qian San was stunned and said, "Master, do you want to go to Juxin City in person
Otherwise, you can let Ding Si and I go, and you still have to stay here."
Ye Li shook his head and said, “The Peacock Clan just came here to rob, and it is impossible for them to launch another attack recently.
If they were planning an all-out attack, they would not have come here to rob today. Wouldn't it be simpler to just launch a large army to attack
In the short term, there will be no danger in our Dongfang County. Generally speaking, with Ding Si and Teng Long around, there will be no problem.
I want to go to Juxin City to meet the other party in person, which is also a show of sincerity. If I send you there, the other party will think that I am arrogant to some extent. "
After Ye Li finished speaking, he made some arrangements in the territory.
The mining area continues to mine ore, the plan remains unchanged, and there is no need to transport the ore back to the manor every day. After all, daily transportation is also a hassle, and there is the possibility of attack along the way.
The problem nowadays is not to prevent being robbed, but to solve the real source of the crisis.
The next morning, Qian San and Ye Li quietly left Dongfang County on fast horses and headed towards Juxin City.
Only the leaders knew about Ye Li's departure, not even the servants in the manor were aware of it.
The servants thought that Ye Li was in seclusion in the manor, so they did not disturb him too much. Everything in Dongfang County was operating as usual.
Ye Li knew that Wang Yue and others must be secretly watching his movements, so he was so cautious.
If the other party finds out that I have left Dongfang County, I don't know what big moves they will make behind my back.
"Qian San, give me a brief introduction to Juxin City!"
Along the way, when the two were resting, Ye Li said to Qian San.
Qian San thought for a moment and said, “Master, there are three major forces in Juxing City: the Liu family, the Zhao family, and the Huang family.
These three families are basically the decision-makers of Juxin City, and the people you are going to meet this time must also be these three families.
Each of these three companies is not very strong, and only by joining together can they reach their current level.
The Liu family has slightly more say than the other two families. After all, the only master in the Divine Appearance Stage is Liu Boshan from the Liu family.
The three families have been friendly for generations, but because of their own interests, they were finally tied together to fight against the Peacock Clan. "
After hearing Qian San's words, Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "Juxin City is in such a critical situation right now, they probably won't reject my proposal."
Qian San said: "Juxin City has always been very xenophobic. They don't trust anyone except their own people. But as you said, the situation has reached the most critical moment. They should not reject our proposal."
When the two of them were resting, they were not resting themselves, but resting the horses.
Ye Li could travel without a horse, but Qian San was much weaker than him and his speed was also slower. Without a horse, he could not travel for too long.
It took them three days, almost non-stop, to finally reach the outside of Juxin City. When Ye Li looked at the huge city in front of him, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He was not surprised at how majestic the city was, but rather why it was so low.
Although this city is huge, almost twice as large as the average city, its city walls are only a dozen or twenty meters high. It looks very small from a distance, which is totally inconsistent with its huge area.
"Master, this city was built not long ago. In order to contain the three forces, it formed such a strange structure."
Qian San saw the surprise on Ye Li's face and began to explain.
Ye Li nodded and said, "I see. Then let's go there quickly and contact Juxin City as soon as possible so that we can solve the problem as soon as possible."
The two rode side by side to the outside of Juxin City. The guards at the city gate stopped them vigilantly and said, "Juxin City is temporarily closed. No one is allowed to enter or leave."
The battle was very fierce. The gates of Juxin City were now locked and no one was allowed to enter or leave for the short term.
"Brother, please tell the leaders of your three families that Ye Li, the Lord of Dongfang County of Tang State, wants to see you."
Ye Li bowed to the guard and spoke.
Ye Li had just arrived in Dongfang County and his reputation was not well-known. Even many surrounding forces had not noticed that Dongfang County already had a lord.
The guard was also shocked, as if he had not expected Ye Li to be the lord of Dongfang County, and he had never expected that he would come here.
"Ah, hello, Lord. Please wait a moment."
Although he didn't know Ye Li, Tang was a big country after all. A county lord came here in person, and he, a mere guard, couldn't be too arrogant.
After Ye Li nodded, he waited outside with Qian San.
Not long after, the guard ran out of the city, but with an embarrassed look on his face, he stammered, "This... Lord, I... The head of my Huang family said he refuses to see guests and asked you to leave quickly!"
In fact, what Huang Yu said was even more extreme. He didn't even know the Lord of Dongfang County, but he started by saying that Ye Li was a liar and told him to get out.
However, the guard was cautious after all and did not say such words. He just said that his master would not see guests.
Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. We don't know each other. It's normal that your family head doesn't want to see me. Why don't I come and call the three family heads myself?"
