Chapter 218: Negotiations Concluded
Cold Wind Ridge, among the garrisons of the Eastern Emperor Demon Realm that stretches for more than ten miles, if you look down on the entire earth from the sky at this time, this big tent with the Sunset Military Flag of the Demon Realm is just a small black spot among them, but it is in this tent that the Eastern Emperor Demon Realm and the Kyushu Human Race, these two races that have formed a thousand years of hatred, are actually engaged in friendly peace negotiations, and the atmosphere is quite harmonious.
The representatives of the Kyushu Terran exchanged their heads one after another, and from time to time they would argue in low voices, while the generals of the demon world were all smiling and staring at the Kyushu Terran on the opposite side without saying a word, waiting for the results of their discussions.
However, the negotiation team of the Kyushu Terran did not let the other party wait long, and reached a consensus: if they can really get the right to use this land and divide the Cold Wind Ridge Plain into two, it will be a matter that is beneficial to both sides; as for how the various large and small immortal sect forces within the Kyushu Terran should distribute this land, we will discuss it in the future; the biggest question now is whether the demon world really wants peace?
Ge Zhichuan euphemistically expressed the will of the Kyushu Terran Mission, and the shark man translated it euphemistically to the generals of the demon world.
For this question, the demon cultivator generals seemed to have already thought deeply, and only exchanged a few words with each other, and after confirming that it was correct, the demon cultivator general from before said: "Terran friends, I know that the hatred accumulated over the millennium is indeed difficult for you to fully believe in us, but we will do our best to correct the past mistakes and clear up all misunderstandings! In order to express our sincerity for peace......
In Ge Zhichuan's translation, the demon cultivator general took out a huge map, spread it flat on the conference table, pointed to the location of the Cold Wind Ridge, and continued: " Our Eastern Emperor Demon Realm has dismantled all the temporary strongholds north of the Cold Wind Ridge half a month ago, and next, we are willing to withdraw our troops here, that is, the edge of our Eastern Emperor Demon Realm, which is at least five days away from the new land of the Kyushu Terran friends, and we will give the Kyushu Terran friends one to two years to build fortifications south of the Cold Wind Ridge, and when the Kyushu Terran friends feel that the time is right, our Eastern Emperor Demon Realm will re-enter the area north of the Cold Wind Ridge and establish our new home!"
The representatives of the Kyushu Terran looked at each other in astonishment, not because the conditions given by the demon world were harsh, but because the conditions were too good and too sincere, for this reason, many people began to seriously consider whether the demon world really longed for peace.
At the same time, many representatives of the Kyushu Terran were also surprised to find that this map of the demon world was nine points similar to the map that Ge Zhichuan had once taken out!
Next, the two sides discussed the details of various issues on the new border, but they didn't expect that the generals of the demon world had already taken care of everything, and they were very thoughtful about the Kyushu Terrans, and even allowed the Kyushu Terrans to set up sentry posts north of the Cold Wind Ridge before they built fortifications, which fully expressed their desire for peace.
The representatives of the Kyushu Terran Clan had different expressions, because the peace conditions proposed by the Demon Realm were so good that if they didn't agree, they wouldn't be able to explain it after they returned. It wasn't until the last few details were discussed that the atmosphere fell silent.
At this time, Meng Hao suddenly burst out: "Hey, demon cultivator, if our human race plans to organize a group to travel to your demon realm, can we?"
A few people among the representatives of the Kyushu Terran immediately laughed, according to legend, in the Cold Continent, there is a mercenary group in the demon world called the "Imperial Capital Apocalypse Travel Group", it is said that at that time, it angered many bounty monks of the Kyushu Terran Race, and after the news spread, it angered a lot of Kyushu Xianmen, and now Meng Hao suddenly said this, and I don't know if he is insinuating-for-tat: If the Kyushu Terrans occupy the area south of the Cold Wind Ridge, then the bounty monks of the demon world on the Cold Continent will have nothing to hide.
After listening to the merman's translation, the demon cultivator general was not angry at all, he didn't seem to be able to hear the sound at all, he still maintained a friendly smile, and said seriously: "If one day in the future, the friendship between our Eastern Emperor Demon Realm and our friends of the Kyushu Terran is strong enough, this is no problem at all. β
General Demon Cultivator's tolerance and demeanor have won the favor of most of the Kyushu Terrans, since the conditions are too good to refuse, then this preliminary peace agreement has to be signed, as for how to distribute this land, and even whether to really use this land, I can only worry about it later.
Having reached a preliminary consensus, the Demon Cultivator General was obviously very happy, and he smiled and said: "Terran friends, since you are willing to accept our peace proposal, then next, let's immediately start discussing the trade ties between each other in the future, and establish a trade organization between our Eastern Emperor Demon Realm and our Kyushu Terran friends as soon as possible, this is a thing that is beneficial to both sides, especially this trade organization, which can make the Cold Wind Ridge Plain flourish quickly." β
As a result, the two sides began to discuss the details of how to conduct trade.
Qin Xiaotian approached Yun Xuan and commented in a low voice: "If all this is not a lie, then the Cold Continent, an iceberg and snow field that once represented death, will become a place that is even more prosperous than the Imperial Capital Apocalypse. Think about it, the demon world and the Kyushu human race have never had direct contact, and the price difference between the two must be huge......"
Yun Xuan smiled bitterly: "The reason why a beautiful lie is beautiful is because it has an incomparably exquisite shell, which makes people feel excited when they see it. Hey, I said Senior Brother Qin, you shouldn't have completely believed in those demon cultivators, right?"
Qin Xiaotian smiled happily and said, "Absurd ideas can always make people feel refreshed, ha." β
ββ¦β¦β
Ge Zhichuan, Xu Tianzheng, Ye Fan and Ye Wanling are all experts in trade, and Yun Xuan didn't bother to interject during the discussion between the two sides.
When Yun Xuan saw Bai Su, who was usually more active in diplomacy, he didn't say a word, with a thoughtful look on his face, and was occasionally asked, he only said a word or two, and soon returned to his reverie, which made Yun Xuan ask in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist of the White Guard, are you okay! β
Bai Su smiled mysteriously, she didn't hide her true thoughts from Yun Xuan at all, she leaned into Yun Xuan's ear and said in an inaudible voice: "I'm thinking, no matter whether the peaceful intentions of the demon world are true or not, our Yuheng Palace resolutely abandons this distant land, if any Xianmen force sends too many troops to garrison the new border, our Yuheng Palace will take the opportunity to find an excuse to invade them, hehe......"
Bai Su's low laughter startled Yun Xuan, this white-clothed guard's military ambitions were really inflated, and he had already thought of how to take this opportunity to expand his Immortal Sect territory so quickly, however, similar thoughts, other Immortal Sect representatives, sooner or later, would have them.
When all the big and small details were discussed, the Kyushu Terran and the Eastern Emperor Demon Realm solemnly signed the "Peace Treaty on the Cold Wind Ridge on the New Frontier". Then the representatives of the two sides shook hands warmly again, took their respective treaties, and walked out of the tent happily, at this time it was almost dusk, and some of the refreshments eaten at the conference table at noon had already been digested, and the demon cultivators immediately warmly led the Kyushu Terran friends to another tent, and entertained the Terran friends with the most sumptuous food in the Eastern Emperor Demon Realm.
During the banquet, the demon cultivator generals frequently invited cups, obviously sincerely happy that the peace talks could be a complete success. When this dinner was over, the generals of the demon world personally sent the representatives of the human race in Kyushu outside the camp of the demon world, and from a distance, the guards of the major immortal sect forces in Kyushu were still dutifully stationed on that small hillside.
The generals of the Demon Realm once again shook hands with their Kyushu Terran friends and said that most of the troops of the Eastern Emperor Demon Realm would be evacuated tonight, leaving only a small part of the army to be stationed in the area north of the Cold Wind Ridge. By the time it comes early tomorrow morning, these troops will also withdraw to the native border of the Eastern Emperor Demon Realm, and their sincerity is really touching.
When Yun Xuan and the shark man's hands were tightly shaken, Yun Xuan found that there was an extra piece of letterhead folded smaller than a palm in his hand, he remained silent, and he didn't even look at the shark man, the letterhead had slid into his wide sleeve, and then Yun Xuan continued to smile and shook hands warmly with the next demon cultivator general.
After saying goodbye to the demon cultivators, everyone returned to the camp of the human race, and when they turned around, they could vaguely see the demon cultivators reluctantly waving their hands, this scene, everyone couldn't help but have an illusion: the Eastern Emperor Demon World was not a sworn enemy with deep hatred at all, but a friend with deep friendship and a long history of communication.
The Terran soldiers all lined up to welcome the return of their respective leaders, and everyone was happy, especially when they saw the demon cultivators sending them off in person, which would mean that the negotiations had come to an end, and they were about to go home, and their lives could be saved.
Ge Zhichuan solemnly announced the complete success of the peace talks, and after a night's rest tonight, he will leave for home early tomorrow morning, and the entire mission will immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers.
After Yun Xuan walked back to his tent, he immediately opened the letterhead that the shark man stuffed into him, and he couldn't wait to slide out a folded letter and another letter, and the envelope actually read: Her Majesty Empress Li Qingshui personally opened.
The seal is sealed with a precious spirit sealing talisman, which can block the viewing of the divine sense, and anyone who wants to open it by normal means will destroy the integrity of this spirit sealing rune.
Yun Xuan put it aside first, and opened the separate piece of letterhead, the content inside was very simple, only a few short sentences: The Fishman Clan is trying to sabotage this peace negotiation, please leave quickly, don't linger, you can't be afraid!
Yun Xuan couldn't help frowning, wasn't the merman himself a member of the Fishman Clan, why did he betray his clan...... Could it be that he is a spy of the Kyushu Terrans lurking inside the demon world? That's why he took special risks to alert us...... But why should I believe him, maybe it's just another trap he has set up for tricks.
Yun Xuan stared at this line of words and examined it carefully, and suddenly realized that the font of the shark man was actually very beautiful, if a demon cultivator could write such good calligraphy, then this demon cultivator was really talented in calligraphy......
Yun Xuan hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the letterhead that should have been opened by Her Majesty the Empress, and thought: As your cheap son, it is reasonable for me to handle the military aircraft affairs for you.
He skillfully avoided the front of the seal sealed by the spirit talisman, opened the other end of the envelope, and with a slight flick of his wrist, the letter had automatically slid out, in contrast, the content in this letter was much richer, it mentioned the economic reform achievements of the Eastern Emperor Demon Realm, and also mentioned some things about the royal family of the Dusk Temple, Yun Xuan paid special attention to one of the information: It seems that the news that those demon beasts in the East China Sea have finally been unified is not groundless, and the Lord of the Dusk Temple has gone to the East China Sea Domain many times, and it is very likely that he has had a secret meeting with the leader of the East China Sea Demon Beastsβ¦β¦
However, the shark man didn't mention much about this matter, just elaborated it as a piece of information, and there was no key description, which made Yun Xuan frown, and couldn't help but secretly curse the shark man for being an idiot! When two aggressive races unite, it is quite a terrible thing, especially since the East China Sea Demon Beast Alliance still occupies the vast sea area, such a favorable geographical location.
After Yun Xuan carefully read the letter, he believed a little more about the identity of the merman's spy, he folded the letter paper again according to the original folding method, put it back in the envelope, and carefully sealed the envelope in its place, without alarming the spirit talisman seal on the other end at all.
At the same time, Yun Xuan had already made a decision in his heart, everything should be put first in terms of his life, he strode out of the camp tent, and ordered the guards to inform the rest of the Kyushu Terran representatives one by one that he was going to hold an emergency meeting.
