Chapter 423 Negotiation
After the soul master team set off, Bibi Dong took Tang Ya and several elders and others to set off.
Although this trip is not considered top secret, in order not to leak the secret, we did not bring too many people with us. Apart from the team of more than 10,000 soul masters, there were only a few elders and new recruits. Several heads of the sect.
Tens of thousands of soul masters from great soul masters to soul masters, this handiwork is no longer ordinary. In addition, each soul master is equipped with a complete set of thermal weapons, which can give full play to their abilities. The true combat effectiveness is comparable to that of a million-strong army. This is not an exaggeration at all.
However, for Ning Rongrong’s safety, in the end, after much thought, she decided not to take Ning Rongrong with her. What she had to accomplish on this trip to Xilu City was bound to involve unpredictable dangers and variables. She could not bear to put Ning Rongrong in such a dangerous situation.
After all, deep down in her heart, Ning Rongrong was her girlfriend, not a tool for use. Well, female friends, referred to as girlfriends.
After three days of waiting for the people from Wuhun Palace to leave, Ning Rongrong followed Ning Fengzhi and moved to Wuhun City with the disciples from Qibao Glazed Sect.
As soon as he arrived at Wuhun Hall, Ning Rongrong was in a hurry to leave. Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi sighed softly. With a trace of helplessness in his eyes, he walked to Ning Rongrong and patted her shoulder gently.
“No need to look for her, she should have left.”
“Gone?” Ning Rongrong couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a moment, then said with a flash of complicated emotions in his eyes.
"Rongrong, if my guess is right, she should go to Xilu City." Wuhun City has been preparing for it before, and he also knows that at this time, Tang Ya specially told him that he didn't want to Let her daughter go on adventures with her.
Listening to her father's explanation, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but breathe a little faster.
“No, I want to go too.”
Ning Fengzhi hurriedly grabbed her daughter, her voice a bit stern.
"Rongrong, stop fooling around. We have been gone for a few days and you can't catch up."
Ning Rongrong gave a sweet shout.
"I don't, I'm going. After all, I am also a Soul Saint level assistant. With me helping her, wouldn't the plan be smoother?"
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but sigh. .
"Rong Rong, we all know what you said, but you need to know more that this is a war, not your previous play house. As an auxiliary soul master, without anyone to protect you, you will be the first to die. "
At this moment, Sword Douluo Chenxin walked over with a steady pace. He was wearing a white robe fluttering in the wind, his figure was as tall as a pine tree, and his eyes were firm and calm.
"Fengzhi, don't scare Rongrong, let me take Rongrong there."
Ning Fengzhi looked at Chen Xin in surprise, and his originally gentle face was now full of emotions. worry.
"Uncle Jian, this is too dangerous."
Chen Xin smiled slightly, and that smile was full of calmness.
"Don't worry, I will protect her. Besides, it's not like you don't know Rongrong's temper. If you don't let her go, she won't give up. If she sneaks over, no Is it more dangerous? "
Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment, his eyes moving back and forth between Chen Xin and Ning Rongrong, and finally nodded helplessly.
"Okay, Uncle Jian, I'll leave it to you. You must take good care of Rongrong."
Ning Rongrong burst into laughter, a bright smile blooming on his face.
"Thank you, Dad, thank you Grandpa Jian."
Chen Xin touched Ning Rongrong's head, her eyes full of love,
"Let's go, little girl."
< br>At the same time, after a month-long journey, the Tiandou Empire's 100,000-strong army finally arrived at Xilu City.
However, Xilu City is only a small border town after all, and the number of people it can accommodate is limited after all. The more than 100,000 troops that followed could only camp outside the city.
At this time, the first conversation between the two parties had ended, and they returned to the Lord's Palace of Xilu City. At this time, there were only a few people left in the palace.
Emperor Xue Ye sat on the main seat. Although his imperial robe was stained with some dust and looked a little messy, his hair was slightly disheveled, his brows were frowned, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out, and his eyes were Glittering with anger and worry.
“This Xingluo Empire has such a big appetite. It actually wants three cities of our Tiandou Empire. If we hand them over like this, our Tiandou Empire’s face will be lost in the future.”
I originally wanted to have a good talk with the opponent about dealing with Wuhun Palace together, but I didn’t expect that the Star Luo Empire would be Wang Zha as soon as he opened his mouth. Together with Xilu City, the next two cities would be divided into the Star Luo Empire. Otherwise, No discussion. This made Emperor Xueye feel extremely angry and helpless.
Obviously, the other party also guessed what he was thinking. These cities are not the most fertile and important. However, Xilu City is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the Luo Empire wants to invade, there will be no obstacles. This will be a huge threat to the border security of the Tiandou Empire.
Under the stage, after hearing Emperor Xue Ye's words, the master couldn't help but bow slightly and said.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be so angry. This is just a temporary measure. The specifics will depend on what news the people I send can bring back."
Hearing this , Emperor Xueye couldn't help but tilt his head slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"National Master, are you so sure that Emperor Xingluo can believe your words?"
"Of course, your Majesty can rest assured." The master chuckled lightly, with a confident look on his face. Dai Mubai is also a prince after all. With him as a lobbyist, how could he fail?
Emperor Xue Ye nodded and his expression softened slightly.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Once the news comes, don't make it public, and be sure to inform me first. I'm tired, go down." Emperor Xue Ye leaned on the back of his chair, He closed his eyes tiredly.
After the discussion, the masters and others left the city lord's mansion respectfully.
After returning to the temporary residence, the master and Tang San gathered together again.
At this time, Tang San's face was also a little solemn, he frowned, his eyes were full of worry.
"Teacher, in fact, these are just my guesses. Wuhun Palace may not necessarily assassinate Emperor Xue Ye. If we mobilize troops like this, if we just think too much, Emperor Xue Ye will cause trouble for us." Tang There was a hint of hesitation and uncertainty in San's voice.
Hearing this, the master chuckled and said slowly.
"Xiaosan, you don't understand this. Emperor Xueye just wants an excuse, an excuse to divert the attention of the Star Luo Empire. Even if Wuhun Palace doesn't take action, I will arrange some people when the time comes. Pretend to be someone from Wuhun Palace to assassinate him. It will not only give Emperor Xueye a reason to take action against Wuhun Palace, but also make Xingluo Empire wary of Wuhun Palace, thereby buying us more time. ""Ah," Tang San couldn't help but be speechless. After a moment of silence, his eyebrows were furrowed and his eyes were full of worry. After thinking for a while, he said again.
"Teacher, aren't you afraid that Wuhun Palace will send out a large number of strong men to assassinate him? In this way, even with my father and the others, they may not be able to protect Emperor Xue Ye. ”
The master chuckled lightly, shook his head, and said calmly.
"Xiaosan, you are thinking too much. Those teachers in Wuhun Hall are more familiar with you. The real threat is the Enshrinement Hall, and it is precisely the Enshrinement Hall. Their relationship with Bibi Dong is not very good, even if Bibi General Dong called all the newly promoted Titled Douluo. I guess there should only be five or six Titled Douluo at most. With your father and the others here, it is enough."
After thinking about it, the master said again. is said.
"However, what you said makes sense. For safety reasons, please arrange this." With that, a roll of paper appeared in the master's hand. There are some writings and patterns densely written on the paper, which looks like some kind of carefully designed plan or mysterious arrangement.
Tang San took the paper and read it carefully, asking as he read.
"Teacher, what is this?"
The master smiled slightly and said.
"I found this from a classic. It is a defensive formation. You arrange Xilu City according to the drawings. This can add a layer of protection, just in case."
"After all, your eyesight skills are outstanding. I am most at ease leaving this matter to you." When speaking, a strange luster flashed in the master's eyes. Obviously, this formation is not as good as he said. It's so simple.
Tang San nodded and said.
"Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely take care of it."
The master thought for a while and added.
"By the way, this must be done as soon as possible. Moreover, during this time, let Oscar make more sausages. If an accident occurs, I can also temporarily form a flying team."
A few days passed in an instant, and finally the important moment came for Emperor Xueye and the King of Star Luo Empire to negotiate in the main palace of Xilu City.
In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed to be suffocating. Emperor Xue Ye sat at the head of the table. He was dressed in a gorgeous and solemn royal robe, and the golden patterns embroidered on the robe shone with majestic light. His eyes were deep and solemn, and his tight lips revealed his inner tension. Next to him stood Xue Qinghe and others. Xue Qinghe had a serious expression, his hands hanging by his sides, and his eyes fixed on Emperor Xingluo opposite.
On the other side sat the king of the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Emperor.
The Star Luo Empire is different from the Tiandou Empire. They are proud of their country, and each generation of emperors is named after the country. This is completely opposite to the Tiandou Empire.
Xingluo Empire is tall, with a chiseled face and strong lines. He wears a crown, and the bright gems shine in the sun, complementing his majestic face. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring closely at Emperor Xue Ye, exuding an invisible pressure.
The entourage and generals of both sides stood on both sides, with tense expressions and tall postures.
The soldiers on both sides were hostile to each other. Their eyes exuded a fierce aura, and their eyes were full of fighting spirit, ready to deal with possible changes at any time.
At the meeting, Emperor Xueye was the first to break the silence.
“Let’s talk about your conditions for this meeting. As for your previous conditions, you should know that it is impossible for me to agree.”
Emperor Xingluo chuckled lightly. Upward, with a hint of disdain.
"Xue Ye, let's not talk about this between us. The jungle of the jungle is the unchanging law of the continent. If you were on my side, would you let me go?"
< br>Emperor Xue Ye’s face couldn’t help but froze, and after taking a deep breath, he spoke slowly.
"Let's change the conditions. In addition to land, I can give you money or food."
Emperor Xingluo kept tapping his fingertips on the table, making a "click" sound. At this time, The hall was silent, no one dared to speak, and the air was filled with tension.
After a long time, Emperor Xingluo said slowly. His eyes darkened, and his voice was calm but filled with a hint of threat.
“On this trip, I sent a total of 200,000 troops. Before I came, I promised them that as long as we defeat them, they can take whatever money and food they want. With you acting like this, I feel a little uncomfortable with my fellow members of the Star Luo Empire. The soldier explained. "
"Well, if you can compensate each of them with 100 gold soul coins, we still have to discuss this matter."
"Twenty million gold soul coins!" Upon hearing this, the entire audience was stunned. Everyone's expressions varied, some opened their mouths in surprise, while others frowned and fell into deep thought. This is not a small amount of money, it may be as much as the Tiandou Empire's tax revenue in several years.
"No, this is too much. I can only give 10 million. If you insist on making the lion open, then let's fight."
Hearing the words of Emperor Xue Ye, Xing Ye A flash of surprise flashed in Emperor Luo's eyes. He didn't expect that he was really willing to give so much money, but he didn't show it. Instead, he pretended to be thoughtful and nodded.
"Yes, but I have one more condition. As long as you agree, I can sign a contract now. Within five years, none of us in Xingluo will offend your border."
Listen After hearing these words, Emperor Xue Ye also breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the Star Luo Empire would speak loudly again. Otherwise, let alone cultivation and recuperation, he would not even have the money to train troops.
"You say it first, and I'll think about it." Emperor Xueye said with a hint of caution.
Emperor Xingluo smiled slightly, and there seemed to be a deep meaning hidden in that smile.
"My youngest son Mubai, you should know that my condition is very simple, that is, marry Princess Xueke to him."
"What!" Emperor Xueye said evenly. is said. He stood up suddenly and pointed at Emperor Xingluo angrily.
"No, you really think I don't know. That boy from your Dai family has already been engaged. Is it possible that he is planning to marry me, the princess of Tiandou, as a concubine?"
< br>
Emperor Xingluo waved his hand and said calmly.
"Okay, don't be so angry. The woman who had a contract with Xiao'er before was kidnapped by pirates and is probably dead. Even if she is still alive and has lost her innocence, it is impossible for her to enter The door of my royal family."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xue Qinghe say.
"But as far as I know, your Dai Mubai seems to have kept sisters since he was a child. Can he be considered innocent?"
If it is about others, maybe Xue Qinghe She could bear it, but after so many years without any emotional support, she had long regarded Xue Ke as her own sister. Now, how could she possibly watch Xue Ke fall into the pit of fire.
"How presumptuous, how can you speak here?" Emperor Xingluo stood up with an angry look on his face and slapped his hand on the table, making a loud "bang" sound.
"If your Tiandou Empire is not sincere, then don't talk about it, just fight!"
The plot is unified and fast-forwarded, there are many things, I won't go into details.
