Chapter 201: Winning or Losing
The snow outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, white and silent, as if trying to cover up all the noise and hustle, but also with the original tranquility.
The room was silent, but the negotiated deal was at a stalemate without any concessions from either side. The wood burning in the fire pit occasionally crackled, but the almost only sound did not break the silence, but only accentuated the silence of the room.
Under the silence, the two sides sat around the fire pit as if nothing had happened, and the picture was as warm as a family. It's a pity that everything he sees is an illusion, at least under careful observation, it can be seen that Lin Haowen's eyes are always staring at the jumping flames, motionless like a sitting meditation old monk.
He didn't wander into the sky, nor did he have nothing to do, but he was a mess in his heart but couldn't figure it out. And what bothered him was the madman on the other side of the fire pond, the Ye madman who was always at ease, and was even more noisy at the moment.
Because compared to Lin Haowen's almost sluggish state, Ye Maniac behaved more like a master. From time to time, you may be fiddling with burned wood, or rubbing your hands against your hot knees. The ease and comfort is like being at home, and there is no half of it.
Of course, Lin Haowen was not mainly upset because of Ye Maniac's dominance, but because of the other party's unchanged indifference and annoyance.
Until now, Madman Ye has not acted like a person who has negotiated a stalemate and has no interests. On the contrary, the constant smile and casual behavior all reveal his self-confidence, and his look of winning has suppressed Lin Haowen from beginning to end.
It's very uncomfortable, this kind of psychological hint that seems to be there makes Lin Haowen extremely uncomfortable, and it is inevitable to be irritable when he thinks about things under the discomfort, so the thoughts in his heart are like a mess, and he is still messy.
Lin Haowen stared at the fire pond and didn't want to look at Ye Maniac anymore, although he didn't know if he was out of character or deliberate, but his actions did affect Lin Haowen.
Fortunately, Lin Haowen is not an idle person, he has been persevering under this heavy pressure, and he does not speak, in order to strive for the greatest benefits.
Lin Haowen knew in his heart that Ye Maniac's analysis was very right, whether it was retreating or helping Ye Qingchuan, they might not necessarily be able to benefit from starting the army, but they might be stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate themselves. But if you help Ye Maniac like this, then the advantage that Qi Jun can fight and withdraw will be wiped out single-handedly, and there is really no benefit.
Therefore, the hard support is to maximize the benefits, but the process is still painful, and the pressure in the heart can only be known by Lin Haowen.
The fire burned the wood. Ye Maniac naturally moved the two pieces of burnt close to the center of the fire pit, and the random action did not mean anything at all.
After doing this, he raised his head and looked at Lin Haowen with a grin.
Lin Haowen's eyes were always staring at the beating flames, naturally he didn't know that Ye Maniac was staring at him at this time. However, Old Man Yao on the side instantly observed Ye Maniac's actions, and he also understood in his heart that Ye Maniac's series of actions were intentional.
I thought about telling Lin Haowen on the side about this, so that he would not fall deeper and deeper. However, before the words could be spoken, Old Man Yao gave up the idea in his heart.
Lin Haowen is a malleable talent, and Old Man Yao also knows that Yi Feng intends to cultivate Lin Haowen. But Puyu still needs to be carved, and Lin Haowen has not yet reached the point of becoming a talent at this time, so Old Man Yao finally decided to let him cross this hurdle alone, that is
Make the opponent an extremely perverted leaf maniac.
In the end, each had their own reasons, but they didn't speak, and the room was still silent. The occasional sound of the burning wood still accentuates the silence of the room.
This is a tug-of-war, but also a psychological game. Now that Ye Maniac has mastered the overall situation, he is pressing step by step. Although Lin Haowen fell behind, he did not give up easily, but supported it hard.
Lin Haowen's mood became more and more irritable, and even he had forgotten why he was bored. But there was always a voice in his heart telling him to persevere, persevere. At this moment, whoever speaks first loses, so keep going.
Outside, Ye Maniac kept putting pressure on Lin Haowen's psychological defense, but inside Lin Haowen kept insisting on self-suggestion. One after another, the enemy comes and goes like a battlefield, but I feel more tired than going into battle to kill the enemy, the kind of tiredness that comes from the heart, called: tired.
And when the heart is tired, it is the most easy time for people to give up and admit defeat. Therefore, Lin Haowen can be said to have reached the point of exhaustion, and no matter how strong he is, it is only the end of the strong crossbow.
Looking at the cold sweat on Lin Haowen's forehead, Madman Ye smiled more naturally.
At this time, the snow was falling outside the window, and even though there was a fire pit in the house to keep warm, people still shivered a few times from time to time. And in this way, Lin Haowen can still sweat, which shows the degree of struggle in his heart.
And this also indicates that the Ye madman is about to achieve his goal.
As time passed, Lin Haowen couldn't help but tremble. The repeated psychological hints almost drove him crazy, and the irritability in his heart made him miserable. If it is possible, at this moment he just wants to vent all the emotions in his heart, all the unscrupulous catharsis.
But just as he moved his lips and was about to shout, a force suddenly appeared in his heart to stop him.
In an instant, he seemed to have figured out something, but he didn't seem to have fully grasped it.
"Let's talk. ”
It was not Lin Haowen who exported, but Ye Maniac, who had the advantage. This was not expected by everyone present, even Old Man Yao only saw a few clues, but he was not very sure.
And Lin Haowen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart after hearing Ye Maniac speak.
But at the moment of relief, he understood, and he suddenly understood what he had just thought but had not fully figured out.
That is: Ye Maniac will definitely not give up cooperating with Qijun.
Yes, Ye Maniac's main goal is to deal with Ye Qingchuan, so he naturally has to be completely sure. Ridiculous at the beginning, he was frightened by his bluff, but in the end, he fell into his trap and negotiated with him, forgetting the most important thing.
There is also the fact that Ye Maniac took the lead in admitting defeat just now, Lin Haowen still doesn't understand why Ye Maniac would admit defeat when he is about to win, but Lin Haowen can feel that when he is relaxed in his heart, something very important to him has left him.
And Lin Haowen's various expressions were seen by Old Man Yao, his heart was like a lens at the moment, and he could see it clearly, but he hated himself for carelessly not stopping Ye Madman in time. But hatred and remorse are just excuses to escape, and the thing has happened, and he has no power to return to heaven. Finally, all the things in his heart turned into hatred, and Old Man Yao stared straight at the culprit, secretly vowing in his heart to pay the price.
And Madman Ye has also been observing Lin Haowen's expression, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in the end. It's not that he hasn't heard of such things as breaking and then standing up, but he is overconfident
He has always only regarded it as a fantasy, thinking that it was just made up by others to sensationalize. But now there is a real example in front of him, but it has to make him frightened. And he doesn't want to be beautiful as an adult, let alone an enemy he may become in the future.
So, the leaf madman spoke. He was the first to admit defeat and at the same time interrupted Lin Haowen's insight. In the moment when Lin Haowen breathed a sigh of relief, he succeeded.
Lin Haowen is still the same Lin Haowen, Lin Haowen's relaxation shows that Ye Maniac still has a shadow in his heart. At this moment, Lin Haowen is still afraid of Ye Maniac in his heart, whether he admits it or not.
Madman Ye wiped out the fierce opponents he might encounter in the future with a failed concession, and in the final analysis, he earned it.
When he was secretly happy in his heart, Madman Ye suddenly felt a murderous aura, and looked at the old man Yao beside Lin Haowen vigilantly.
In fact, he had already paid attention to Old Man Yao, in addition to Old Man Yao's peculiar appearance, he was even more surprised by his unfathomable strength.
Of course, it is said that Old Man Yao has a strange appearance because Madman Ye can't accurately judge whether Old Man Yao is middle-aged or elderly, and whenever he wants to see it clearly, it is always a plausible feeling. He attributed it to Old Man Yao's unfathomable strength, because only that unfathomable strength could forcibly blur his face and make it impossible to see through it anymore.
But in fact, he didn't know that the real reason for Old Man Yao's blurred appearance was because of Sanniang. That time Sanniang was injured because of Qiankun Ding, and Old Man Yao forcibly burst out of strength and returned to his former appearance, but at the same time, the death in his body could no longer be suppressed, which became this plausible appearance.
Of course, this kind of paradoxical feeling can only be felt by half-immortals, and people below half-immortals still look at Old Man Yao, and they are still the same bad old man.
But no matter what, Madman Ye was attentive to Old Man Yao. After all, the murderous aura at that moment can't be faked.
"I want the greatest interests of the army!"
When Ye Madman paid attention to Old Man Yao, Lin Haowen made a request.
Regarding the other party's practice of chasing after the victory, Ye Maniac was not disgusted. And who will say who will really benefit from this negotiation. But at least Lin Haowen personally failed and became the biggest loser, just because Ye Maniac destroyed his perception.
Looking at Lin Haowen, who was confident at this time, Ye Haowen knew that Lin Haowen had not really discovered what he had lost. But so what, Madman Ye won't take the initiative to tell him.
Therefore, Ye Maniac followed Lin Haowen's words and said with a smile: "To be specific, the greatest interest is too general. ”
"We want Chudu!" Lin Haowen smiled treacherously, without insatiable self-knowledge.
If you want Chu Capital, you want Chu State. In the end, it is to let the other two parties help him take Chudu, which can really be described as a lion's big mouth.
As for Lin Haowen's statement, Madman Ye was still smiling. But he retorted: "I don't care, but do you think the other two parties will agree?"
When Lin Haowen heard this, he was overjoyed, and finally said the key point he had in mind, "Without us to start the army, do you have absolute certainty about dealing with Ye Qingchuan?"
When these words came out, Ye Maniac was shocked in his heart, thinking that Lin Haowen was finally broken and then stood up, but after careful observation, he found that he was thinking too much. Because if it was Lin Haowen who was broken and then stood up, he should have left directly at this moment, instead of negotiating with him again.
After making a fuss in his heart, Ye Madman smiled and said, "Are you trying to convince me to convince the other two?"
