Volume 1 Juvenile Exhibition Scroll Painting Vulgar Chapter 42 Negotiation from Chess to the Middle Game
Xiao Er and Zhang Jiuzhong, a demon who quickly came to a reception room and sat down on either side of a tea table.
The staff brought two cups of tea, disposable paper cups printed with the words "Everyone is responsible for protecting the environment" and the cheap tea leaves in the cups, both of which showed the poverty and businesswork of the Environmental Investigation Bureau.
Xiao Er thanked softly.
Zhang Jiuzhong also took the water cup and said, "It's troublesome."
The staff put a voice recorder between the two in front of the two and turned to leave.
Yi Mingzhang, who promised to solve the work problem for Xiao Er, was still besieging Fang Mingzhao with a group of supernatural monksβor being besieged by Fang Mingzhao, so Xiao Er was just an ordinary citizen at this time, and Zhang Jiuzhong was a wanted criminal, no matter what the two of them talked about, the Environmental Investigation Bureau had to leave a record, which was a standardized procedure.
Zhang Jiuzhong and Xiao Er fought three and a half times, but it was the first time that they seriously looked at this tall and thin cultivator.
Xiao Er is the kind of appearance that looks very spiritual on the outside, between his eyebrows and eyes is neutral and peaceful, looking at Zhang Jiuzhong's gaze is not unusual or hostile, but his face always makes people feel that he is not sincere, Zhang Jiuzhong has failed to help Xiao Er several times, and he is even more defensive against him.
"Hello, my name is Xiao Er. Xiao Er said that Zhang Jiuzhong shouted and shouted to kill every time he saw him, and this was the first time he had signed up to Zhang Jiuzhong seriously.
"Without further ado, you should already know what I'm going to do. Zhang Jiuzhong's brows furrowed, "Give me a happy word, if you don't change it, if you don't change it, I'll kill someone if I go back." β
Lin Chenchen counted Lin Nana's death on Xiao Er's head, and hated him to the core, Zhang Jiuzhong obviously would not be so arbitrary, he knew very well that Xiao Er had no intention of killing them during the encounter in the Demon Domain, but he couldn't persuade his lover who was carried away by hatred with this, and he wouldn't have a good face for Xiao Er because of this.
"We have your five senior brothers in our hands, and there are only three Daomen disciples on your side, so I don't think it's fair to change them like this. Xiao Er shook his head and began to negotiate the price, which is the basic skill of exorcists and qi practitioners in the world.
"Heh," Zhang Jiuzhong sneered, he was also a gold medal sales before joining Yuanyuan, how could he be stopped by Xiao Er like this, "What's unfair about exchanging three for five? Those three disciples belong to three sects, can you give up any of them?"
"Situ Guanyu attacked me in battle, it's not like you didn't see it. Xiao Er also bluffed, "To tell the truth, you let Gao Huanyu go, and I don't care about the lives of the other two." β
Zhang Jiuzhong observed Xiao Er's expression, and suddenly approached the tea table: "This is what that Qinglian fairy meant." β
Xiao Er glanced at the recorder with the light on, and sighed, this word spread out, Wen Lian is not a good person, but it doesn't matter, anyway, the pot is carried by him.
"You talk a lot of nonsense, it's good for us to exchange one, who are you going to exchange Gao Huanyu for?" Xiao Er asked.
Zhang Jiuzhong smiled slightly, and said in an indifferent tone: "You righteous paths can still ignore the life and death of your companions, how much better can we be?" My senior brothers and sisters are not on good terms with me, only Lin Chenchen is still obedient, you let her go, you and I are clear, and I can be regarded as having completed this errand." β
Xiao Er smiled but did not speak.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Jiuzhong's face became difficult to look at.
"Friends, people are not equal, the more people you care about, the more valuable they are to be held hostage...... You're exposed. Xiao Er looked at Zhang Jiuzhong and said, "I guess you hid it from Shu Aotian by yourself, and you ...... Very, very concerned about Lin Chenchen's life and death. β
"Really?" Zhang Jiuzhong was told the central matter, his face changed slightly, and he wanted to make a calm appearance, but it was already difficult to manage his expression.
"Then do you want to change it?" Zhang Jiuzhong stared at Xiao Erdao.
Xiao Er took a slow sip of tea: "I lied to you just now, I don't even care about Gao Huanyu's life." You go, I won't let people go, you remember that Lin Chenchen is in my hands, see you on the battlefield in the future, don't do anything to me. β
"Smack!" Zhang Jiuzhong smashed the table with a palm and stood up angrily.
Xiao Er ignored him, lowered his head to drink water, listened to the footsteps gradually fade away, and his heart was a little drumming.
One step, two steps, three steps......
Really gone?
Xiao Er sighed, but couldn't help but stop Zhang Jiuzhong, who had already walked to the door: "This friend, when you negotiate with someone and can't get along, don't you think about increasing the price?"
Zhang Jiu froze and was silent for a long time.
Jian Xiuning couldn't bend, even if it was Zhang Jiuzhong, he was determined to leave not because he believed Xiao Er's words, but because he knew that when he couldn't control his expression, the negotiation had already fallen into disadvantage. He was rebellious by nature, and would rather die with Lin Chenchen in the future than be slaughtered by the Terran monks here.
It was just Xiao Er's cry that he remembered the difficult years he spent with the two snake demons in the primeval jungle - it was Lin Chenchen after all.
This demon cultivator with extremely high kendo talent did not look back, and said coldly: "I'll give you a chance to make an offer." β
Xiao Er also understood what kind of person this was from his tone, sighed, and said, "Okay, three for five is three for five, you give me one more thing." β
"What's that?"
Xiao Er stretched out his hand and turned off the recorder, and then said with his divine sense: "I heard that the red scale sand circulating in the ghost market comes from Yuanyuan, and the ghost market is not open recently, you can give me a copy of the red scale sand that can have a miraculous effect on the three Ming Che Realm monks." β
Most of the time, Xiao Er is a law-abiding citizen, and the transmission of divine consciousness is to prevent the wall from having ears. Deliberately turning off the voice recorder before is a sign of respect for the Environmental Investigation Bureau.
"Good. Zhang Jiuzhong didn't ask the reason, and simply said, "The place of exchange is in the back lake of Daonan University, and the time is up to you." β
Xiao Er thought about it: "The seniors in the southern suburbs have not yet decided the winner, you come privately, so it is better to come sooner rather than later, how about twelve o'clock tonight, so that the two sides will not have time to make extra preparations." β
"Yes. β
Xiao Er said again: "To show sincerity, we can release Sun Zhao first, and you give me what I want first." β
"Sun Zhao is a person from Shu Aotian, let's replace it with Ying Miao. Zhang Jiuzhong frowned, and finally put forward another condition, and then the brilliance in his hand flashed, and a red porcelain vial appeared.
Ying Miao is also one of the four demon cultivators who ambushed the Quartet of the Southern Suburbs Cemetery before, and she is a flower cat who has just entered the Ming Tho Realm, and she was also accepted by Wen Lian at that time.
Xiao Er took out the "seal" character that sealed Ying Miao, shook it slightly, and a half-human-tall big cat landed at Zhang Jiuzhong's feet, and then took the red porcelain vial.
After monitoring with his divine sense, Xiao Er asked with his divine sense, "Where is the antidote?"
"You still need an antidote?"
Xiao Er showed an inexplicable look: "The effect of this thing to coerce and control others far exceeds the use of poisoning, you only give poison and not antidote, what is the use of me taking it?"
Zhang Jiuzhong thought about it, so he took out another white porcelain bottle and handed it to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't forget the appointment for tonight. Zhang Jiuzhong glanced at Xiao Er deeply, put away the big cat, and turned to leave.
Xiao Er looked at the bottle in his hand and thought about it, Zhang Jiuzhong's IQ should not be high, and his own operation should not betray Pu Li.
When he returned to the conference room upstairs, he found that Zhao Xiangxiao had come back at some point, Wen Lian, Lin Guanfu and Min Huandu Yang Huanya were also sitting at the conference table, and there was a small Bluetooth speaker on the table.
"Did you all hear what we just talked about?" Xiao Er walked over and casually placed the recorder next to the speaker.
"Only the first half was heard. Zhao walked and Xiao looked at Xiao Er with a smile.
Xiao Er sat down: "The second half is to make an appointment at twelve o'clock tonight at Houhu of Daonan University, and the two sides will exchange hostages." β
Lin Guanfu glanced at him: "You asked him what he wanted?"
Xiao Er had already thought of an excuse, and he didn't reply: "This involves the fate of my avenue, so I won't tell you." β
In the communication between the monks on and off the mountain, as long as this reason is presented, it often means that if you ask "what is it?" again, it means that you want to be an opponent, and there is a subtle meaning of outsiders asking each other on the street, "What are you looking at" and "What are you doing?"
Zhao Goxiao frowned and said, "Why don't you wait for me to come back to discuss and discuss." β
"This ......" At this time, Wen Lian raised his hand and shook it, and said a little embarrassed: "Section Chief Zhao, this time the disciples of the three sects investigated the loss of exercises, and the Environmental Investigation Bureau only assisted from the side, and now Uncle Luo is still besieging that demon cultivator, shouldn't I be listened to here?"
"It stands to reason that this is the case, but ......" Zhao Zhuxiao was a little uneasy, because this Wen Lian Fairy, who was out of the world, had actually been appearing in front of everyone as a "grumpy old lady" in the past few days, and he always felt that this might make some big news.
"What's the matter, but, do you have any opinions?" Yang Huanya's injuries had not healed, her face was still pale, but her speech was still aggressive.
Zhao Goxiao was really stunned by her, and touched his nose: "No, no...... Listen to you. β
But he thought in his heart, he still had to ask the deputy director of the Divine Power Realm who was on a business trip to Sucheng as soon as possible, otherwise this group of mountain monks who were not suppressed by the elders would make trouble, and Sucheng didn't know how much chaos would happen.
The handsome Min also asked Wen Lian: "Then Uncle Shi thinks what we should do next?"
"As he said, change. β
Lin Guanfu frowned and said: "Now that the seniors have besieged the enemy chieftain, the strength of the enemy and us is now barely balanced, if we let the tiger return to the mountain and let it recover, I am afraid that we may not have the strength to fight another battle in the southern suburbs." β
Zhao Goxiao also said: "Their power is unexpected, if you add these five, it means that they don't come to provoke, but just make trouble everywhere, and with the manpower of the Sucheng Branch now, they can't suppress it." β
After listening to the words of the two, Wen Lian said, "I don't plan to give them a chance to recover. β
"What do you mean?"
Everyone and Xiao Er also turned their heads to look at her, this was obviously a plan she thought of temporarily.
"I have calculated that when the sun rises in the early morning of tomorrow morning, the yin and yang qi of heaven and earth in Sucheng City will converge, and there will be a moment of mixing and returning to the beginning and different phases," Wen Lian looked at Lin Guanfu, "At that time, your mixed bead can be used in advance, and the power will be doubled." β
Everyone was skeptical when they heard the words, but Xiao Er was convinced.
After that day's fighting, Lin Guanfu thought that his computing power was not as good as Xiao Er's, but Xiao Er always knew that Wen Lian was the real computing power unparalleled in the world. Since entering Kunlun, her cultivation in the way of deduction is particularly profound, if it weren't for the fact that she knew the changes in heaven and earth spiritually, the Kunlun sect would not let her be a Ming Che realm monk in charge of such a sect treasure as the Six Qi Jian.
In the past, when she was fighting with Xiao Er, she only specified the time and place of the fighting, which could reduce Xiao Er's chances of victory by more than three percent, which was the terrifying thing about monks who were proficient in the way of deduction.
It can be said that if the monks of the same realm meet to fight, as long as Wen Lian takes the initiative to choose the time and place, she will always be invincible.
"Tonight, save my nephew. Wen Lian's gaze swept over everyone, and the eyes that usually don't look at people very seriously were as bright as the sun, and even Zhao Zhuoxiao and Lin Guanfu couldn't help but feel excited.
"At the beginning of tomorrow morning, attack the demon domain. β
