Chapter 69: Visiting the Prison (Part II)
For Zi Linliu, entering the dungeons of the Zhujia family to visit the imprisoned Yu Clan prisoners of war was just an explanation. Although as a Yu Clan, he also cares about the fate of the Yu Clan, but this is really not his character this time, and he can only say sorry in his heart to those poor Yu Clan.
Of course, on the surface, he still showed concern for the fate of the Yu captives.
So after entering the dungeon, he will criticize the environment according to his duties. For example, "It's too dark here", "The cell is too small", "Why do you need to load torture tools when you have already sealed your strength?", "They are all prisoners who are about to be released, and they should not be tortured again", etc.
Zhu Yunyan, who accompanied him, said with a smile: "Da Yu loves the heart of his fellow clan, which is understandable. However, although these prisoners seem to be in bad shape, they are actually not that bad. Don't believe Da Yu, look, aren't they all alive?"
She pointed around, and the countless prisoners were also looking at them in prison, looking at Zi Lin Liu, as if they were looking at their own hopes.
Zi Linliu knew that he was going to be ashamed of his fellow clan this time, so he sighed in his heart and said, "Can I stay alone with them for a while?"
Zhu Yunyan let out a few dry laughs: "Da Yu, this is embarrassing for me, you know that this is not good." ”
Zi Linliu only said this deliberately, and when he heard Zhu Yunyan's refusal at this moment, he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "Since this is the case, then forget it." I only hope that the heads of the families can ......"
"Ahh
A scream suddenly rang out in the cell, interrupting their conversation.
Looking back, I saw a young Yu clan shouting in front of the prison door: "He can't do it! He's going to die! My lord, save him, save him!"
Zhu Yunyan just said that "everyone is alive and well", and now he was slapped in the face in public, and the whole person was not good.
His face sank, and he walked over and said, "What's it called?"
The young Yu clan said: "Look, my lord, he really can't do it, he's dying!"
The purple forest stream also passed quickly.
He saw an old feather lying there in the cell, dying.
He can't turn a blind eye to reason.
Zi Linliu's face sank: "Heads of the family, you promised me to ensure that the people here are fine." ”
"As I said, yesterday my family went crazy after drinking and beat a prisoner, it seems that this is the one, didn't I say hello to you. After confirming that it was not a new offense that had a problem, Zhu Yunyan looked relaxed, turned his head and said, "Open the prison door and bring the old man out." ”
A guard opened the cell door and led Lao Yu out.
Zhu Yunyan went up to check the pulse and said, "No, I can't survive noon." ”
When the young Yu clan heard this, he fell to his knees and wailed.
The old Yu clan lay there, looking at Zi Linliu weakly, and said in a low voice: "This ...... Big Feather ...... Is it coming...... Save us?"
"Yes, but it looks like you can't wait that time. Zhu Yunyan smiled.
The old man raised his hand tremblingly and pointed to the young Yu clan behind him: "His name is ...... Yu Liuming...... Take him away......"
Zi Linliu frowned and said, "This ......"
He really didn't want to deceive any longer, and at that moment, there was an impulse that made him want to tell the other party, don't be delusional, we are not here to save you at all, you are just a cover for us to act here.
Fortunately, he finally controlled his emotions, but it was a little impossible for him to continue to deceive the old man who was about to die.
At this moment, the old man suddenly stood up, as if he had exploded before death, and violently pushed away the guards beside him and pounced on Zilinliu.
The wings behind him stretched out, blocking the pursuers behind him, and also wrapped him and Zilinliu together.
"You?" Zi Linliu looked at the other party in surprise.
The old man's eyes were on fire, he grabbed his throat and whispered, "Save him...... He has the secret of the Warbler of Drifting Fire......"
Rumble!
It was as if a thunderbolt struck Zilinliu's head, shocking him dumbfounded.
The next moment, the old man's wings were lowered, and the guards rushed over and tore the old man away, only to find that the old man was motionless and dead.
It turned out that the struggle and pounce just now was actually done by him to stimulate all his own strength.
At this moment, his wish was fulfilled, and he died immediately, walking cleanly and neatly, never dragging mud and water.
"Report to the head of the house, he is dead. It's a little incompetence, let him ......," said the head of the guard, trembling.
"Well, nothing happened anyway. Zhu Yunyan waved his hand indifferently, and then looked at Zi Linliu suspiciously: "That old man...... Did he tell you anything?"
Zilin Liu calmed himself down, took a deep breath and said, "No, he just wants me to take everyone out and entrust me with his life." This old feather ...... It's amazing, no matter what, I'll finish his legacy. ”
Zi Linliu knew very well that it was impossible to save one person alone, and now it seemed that he could only save all the Yu clans.
Now he only hoped that the young Feather Clan did have the secret they needed.
Hearing Zi Linliu's words, Zhu Yunyan smiled: "That's natural, and the Zhu family also hopes to complete this deal." ”
After getting this amazing news, Zi Linliu had no intention of staying, and after a hurried turn, he said goodbye and left, looking at his back, Zhu Yunyan smiled proudly.
The old man was naturally dressed up by Su Shen.
The envoys were incompetent and could not find the location of the mother worm, so they could only find a way to offer it.
But how to provide it is a matter of knowledge.
A simple way is that since Su Shen has decided to replace Cuiyu Void, he simply uses his identity to provide the news to the Yu Clan's envoys.
But the think tanks rejected the plan.
Although they didn't know what the masters wanted to do, under the various conditions given by Su Shen Zhuchenhuan, they still vaguely guessed some content, and accurately pointed out that putting the source of information and the target to penetrate into the enemy's interior together is itself a lazy idea, and it is an instinctive way of thinking to avoid complexities.
But the truth is, the two don't have to be the same person.
The one who provides the message can be the one who provides the message, and the one who enters the interior can be the one that penetrates the inside.
It's okay to go your own way.
Even if it is played by the same person, it can be different characters.
That way, things are a lot easier.
The simplest conclusion is: even if the Cuiyu Empty Trace that Su Shen pretended to be pretended to be discovered in the future, he would not suspect the female worm because of this. On the contrary, if something goes wrong with the female worm, it will not involve the identity of the Emerald Feather Empty Trace. If the two are not correlated, the security will be greatly increased.
Because of this, the person who provided the information must also be another feather clan.
Yu Liuming and the old man were chosen under such circumstances.
The old man did have contact with the Flowing Fire Warbler when he was in Dadu, but it was only a one-sided relationship, and it was impossible for the Flowing Fire Warbler to hand over the secret to an unfamiliar and unfamiliar feather clan like this.
But it doesn't matter, it's enough to have this contact.
Drawing on the experience of a think tank, the same messenger of the message, can also be divided into two people. One is to get the information from the Flowing Fire Warbler, and the other is to pass the information to the Zilin Stream, so as to further ensure the blocking of the message. The Flowing Fire Warbler is dead, the old man is dead, and the only secret left is Yu Liuming, and as the inheritor of the secret, Yu Liuming is justified not to know the Flowing Fire Warbler, so it covers up all the possible flaws of the lie.
Zi Lin Liu and the Yu clan behind him can doubt everything, but in the end, they will find that no matter how they investigate, there is no proof of death.
Besides, they won't doubt it.
They want the mother worm so much!
In this case, everything becomes logical.
Zi Lin went back to see Wu Yuemi, and the progress of the negotiations was directly accelerated the next day.
The envoys agreed to the demands of the clans, one: to issue special passes to the clans, allowing the merchant groups of the clans to enter the area under the control of the Yu clan for normal transactions. This authority is limited to all families, once a year, and the number of people must not exceed fifty, and at the same time, Pingtian City must also give the Yu clan an additional right of passage to a designated family. Two: Give the franchise right to license the transaction of some special resources, including the trading of twelve contraband, but the number is strictly limited. Three: Release the same number and strength of forty people, the specific goal can be decided by the representative of the first merchant group.
The special pass is a very important right, and even now, few people between the two communities have access to such privileges. Behind every grant of privilege is a huge amount of interest and a huge political demand. With a special pass, you can freely enter and exit the border and trade within the two communities.
It can be said that whoever obtains this right has mastered the vital channel. And this power is only in the hands of a few, which means huge profits.
As for the franchise, it is the right to operate special resources. Both clans have some special spiritual or war resources that need to be traded, but trading these resources without permission is itself a prohibition, and only those who have a licensed right to operate can purchase these special resources.
For a long time, the dispute between the families and the envoys was actually in this second article.
The first one, which is nothing to fight about, is the question of giving or not giving. It's not that the Yu clan hasn't given special access to the Terran, and it's okay to put another one.
The second article has a lot more details, and the key is which goods can be franchised and what are the permitted quantities.
The lions opened their mouths and wanted all the contraband trading permissions in one go, but the Yu clan naturally couldn't agree, so the two sides were entangled. Originally, the Yu Clan didn't plan to really complete the transaction, so they deliberately argued over this issue. Now it's a good thing, as soon as I heard that there was a prisoner who had mastered the secret of the mother worm, Wu Yuemi immediately agreed, and let go of the twelve contraband trading rights, and the number was also given extra leniency. This is already a considerable concession.
As for the release of the forty Terrans, this is mainly to give the Yu Clan a face.
Speaking of exchanging hostages, if the same sixty Terrans are released, then in the case of one for one, why should the Yu Clan give the Yu family so many privileges? The right of way is said to be one for one, but the families give the free right of passage in Pingtian City, and the Yu Clan gives the right of free passage in Sky City, can that be the same thing?
It's the same with franchising, Pingtian City has opened up local purchases, allowing the Yu clan to buy without restrictions, but you are just a Pingtian City, how many special resources can you have? Can it be compared with the resources of the entire Yu clan's territory?
The part of this loss can only be filled by the twenty people who have been released less.
In this way, the Yu clan is not suffering, but cherishing their own clan more, and is willing to pay more benefits, just to save some more of their own clan.
As for whether the twenty Yu Clan who said that the extra rescue was worth the price - who would dare to say that my people of the Yu Clan were not worth the price?
What is the value of life? It's hard to say.
But surely, it's high in name, but in actual execution, it's always shit as good.
In the negotiation between the two sides, in fact, no one took the captives seriously, but as chess pieces, they were fighting back and forth, testing each other, which was indeed quite useful.
Holding high the banner of justice, the Yu clan happily signed a contract with the families and bought these sixty ...... Oh no, fifty-nine captives. The family was a little embarrassed, and said that if we don't make up another one for you from Dadu, Zi Linliu waved his hand and said very boldly.
