Hearing Ye Li's words, the guard was stunned and didn't understand what he meant.
However, he immediately knew what Ye Li wanted to do. He saw spiritual light emanating from Ye Li's body and an extremely powerful aura emanating from him, forcing the guards around him to retreat several steps.
"Lord Ye Li of Dongfang County requests to see the heads of the Liu, Zhao, and Huang families. I hope you will grant me an audience!!!"
Ye Li activated the secret method of casting wind, and with the help of the wind spiritual energy, the sound was like a loud bell, resounding outside the city gate.
With the help of Feng Xing spiritual energy, his voice spread towards the city. The heads of the Liu, Zhao and Huang families who were discussing the war in the house immediately heard the noise.
"So cool, who is this person? When did Dongfang County have a lord?!"
Zhao Junsheng, the head of the Zhao family, said with a puzzled look on his face.
Huang Yu, the head of the Huang family, who had just refused to meet Ye Li, looked out the window and said, "This person was just rejected by me, but he actually used this method to force us to meet him."
Liu Boshan, the oldest person next to him, said, "This person's voice sounds relatively young, but his aura makes me feel like he is at the Divine Aspect Stage. Am I wrong?"
Although Liu Boshan was strong, he was a little far away from the city gate and his feeling about Ye Li's strength was a little vague.
“Brother Liu, Brother Huang, why don’t we go take a look.
What on earth is the matter that the Lord of Dongfang County wants to see us for? "
Zhao Junsheng, the head of the Zhao family, made a suggestion.
Huang Yu frowned and glanced at Liu Boshan.
Liu Boshan already showed a look of agreement on his face, so he couldn't refuse anymore, and nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and see who this Ye Li is."
After saying that, the three of them walked out of the house, quickly came to the city wall, and looked down at Ye Li from above.
When they saw Ye Li's face and saw his cultivation level, they couldn't help but show shock on their faces.
When Liu Boshan approached the city gate, he already felt that Ye Li's strength was not weaker than his, but after seeing Ye Li's age, he really couldn't believe that Ye Li could be so young.
"The three family heads must be upstairs. Ye Li from Dongfang County has met several seniors."
Ye Li smiled politely at the three of them, then saluted with his fists clasped.
After all, the three of them were heads of their own families, and they knew the basic etiquette. They also clasped their fists and said, "Greetings, Lord Ye!"
Liu Boshan glanced at Ye Li and said, "I wonder why Lord Ye came here
We have never had any dealings with the Tang Kingdom, and we have never had anything to do with Dongfang County."
Ye Li smiled upon hearing this and said, "Three Patriarchs, I think we should establish some connections now, after all, we are all enemies of the Peacock Clan.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. With the Peacock Clan as our enemy, we should be able to try to be friends. What do you think?"
After hearing Ye Li's words, the three of them were stunned for a moment. Zhao Junsheng asked, "Could it be that your Dongfang County was also attacked by the Peacock Clan? When did they dare to provoke people from the Tang Kingdom?"
Ye Li nodded and said, "We were attacked just now. Although I am from the Tang Kingdom, the territory has become my own land. I have my own private army. Even if I am attacked, the court will not intervene."
After hearing what Ye Li said, Liu Boshan thought for a moment and said, "Open the city gate. Lord Ye is a guest from afar. It is not a good way to treat guests if we let you stand outside the city."
Hearing Liu Boshan's words, the guards nearby quickly opened the city gate, and the three family heads also went down to the city gate.
After they formally met and exchanged greetings, Zhao Junsheng said, "Lord Ye, please come in. We have been trapped here by the Peacock Clan recently and don't know much about the outside world. I never thought that Dongfang County actually has a lord."
Ye Li smiled and said, "I have just been appointed as the lord for a short time, so it is normal that you have not heard of me."
Ye Li brought Qian San and the other two to a reception room and sat down. Qian San acted as a bodyguard and stood beside Ye Li.
"Lord Ye, our situation is urgent right now, so let's get straight to the point."
Huang Yu said to Ye Li.
Ye Li nodded and said, "This is exactly what I want to say, so I will just tell you what I want to say.
I'm sure the three family heads have heard about the old grudges between our Tang Kingdom and the Peacock Clan. Recently, our Dongfang County was attacked by them.
The Peacock Clan is not far from our Dongfang County. The mining area we discovered was attacked by their people, and the ore was stolen.
I analyzed that the reason why they did not launch a full-scale attack on my Dongfang County was because they had not yet captured your Juxin City.
Once the Peacock Clan takes care of your Juxin City, the next target will be us. That’s why I came here today to discuss the alliance with you.
Under the current circumstances, we may choose to form an alliance and jointly deal with the Peacock Clan."
After hearing Ye Li's words, the three of them looked at each other, and Liu Boshan said, "Lord Ye's proposal is not bad, but I don't know what kind of strength Lord Ye holds in his hands."
Hearing Liu Boshan's words, Ye Li smiled lightly and said, "I only have about 3,500 elite soldiers under my command, and I can use a maximum of 2,000 people to go on an expedition here.
I am at the late stage of the Divine Phase, so I think my fighting ability is pretty good. I wonder if this strength is enough to form an alliance with you all."
The three of them looked a lot more relaxed after hearing this, because Ye Li's current strength sounded very suitable for forming an alliance.
Their strength is relatively strong, but not stronger than that of Juxin City. In this way, Juxin City does not have to worry about Ye Li doing something bad to them later.
“It is rare in the world that Lord Ye is so powerful at such a young age.
Now our Juxin City is just as Lord Ye said, barely surviving under the all-out attack of the Peacock Clan.
I won't hide it from you. If we don't come up with a better solution, we won't be able to hold on for much longer. Sooner or later, we will be completely wiped out by the Peacock Clan.
Now we are somewhat interested in the cooperation Lord Ye mentioned, but I wonder what plans Lord Ye has for our cooperation?"
Liu Boshan said to Ye Li with a smile.
Ye Li nodded and said, "The Peacock Clan will definitely not know that we are already cooperating, and they will definitely not take us from the Dongfang County seriously, after all, we are the weakest on the surface.
There are some spies among my miners. If I hoard a large amount of ore, they will know it immediately and will definitely send people to fight for it.
So, I plan to set up a trap for them in my Dongfang County and let them rob the ore..."
Before Ye Li could finish, Huang Yu rushed to say: "We can no longer spare any extra manpower. We only have this isolated city to defend. Once we send troops to Dongfang County to ambush the enemy, this place will become like thin paper and will be easily torn apart."
