Volume 3 Bao Ling Prefecture Chapter 56 To each his own needs
"Someone, go and call the spirit rhino cocoa. β
Although Lingxi Coco came to Baoling City for two days and followed Mu Chen to live in the Wei Mansion, Wei Gonglu was hindered by Mu Chen's emotions and did not ask her about the details. Quan Yuren sent someone to inquire, but he only got some insignificant information. The two did not know where she came from or what she was here for.
Lingxi Coco obeyed her grandfather's instructions and acted cautiously, except for a strange outfit, she always silently followed behind Mu Chen and Qi Luna, and she didn't talk much about bad things, aside from the blessing ceremony for Guo Erniu, she almost never took the initiative to open her mouth, so although everyone thought she was an anomaly, no one asked too much.
is such a girl with a confusing identity, which became the topic of discussion between the three of them.
"Mu Chen... My lord, what do you call me?" Lingxi Keke entered the room under the guidance of the maid, and saw that Quan Yuren and Wei Gonglu were also there, and he was a little nervous.
"You should know this Lord Wei Gongluwei, he is the imperial assistant supervisor of Baoling Prefecture, this is the old city lord of Baoling Prefecture, Prince Ren Quan Yuren. The two of them are the key to the smooth migration of your spirits. β
After listening to Mu Chen's introduction, Lingxi Coco hurriedly gave a salute, she didn't expect that he had just finished discussing this matter with Mu Chen in the afternoon, and he would make arrangements in the evening.
Mu Chen, who was still thinking about how to open his mouth to Quan Yuren, just seized the opportunity of his mention of the cost of the merchant group, put the matter of relocating the Spirit Clan on the table, and used the huge amount of money that he could not refuse as a bargaining chip to formally negotiate the matter.
"She is the granddaughter of the elder of the Spirit Clan, her name is Spirit Rhino Coco, I brought her from Spirit Tree City in the Giant Crocodile Forest, and I am going to arrange their Spirit Clan in the area where humans live. β
"What... What, Mu Chen, what do you mean?" Quan Yuren's attitude changed sharply, obviously disagreeing with Mu Chen's thoughts.
"Spirit Clan, it turns out that the Spirit Race really exists, is that Penetrating Wing really your wings?" Wei Gonglu said something that didn't hurt or itch, he heard that Mu Chen was going to arrange the Spirit Race into the human race, and immediately turned from sadness to joy, this is much more than the impact of the merchant group pass, accepting foreign races is basically taboo in human society, human beings don't believe in any race, in their eyes, this world is only divided into people and Warcraft, and other races are just mutated Warcraft, which will always threaten their safety.
Mu Chen saw that Quan Yuren's attitude had changed, so he patiently told him what he had seen and heard in Spirit Tree City, and handed over the life and death of the Spirit Clan to him, putting pressure on him from a moral level.
During the whole process, Lingxi Coco stood behind Mu Chen respectfully, raising his eyes from time to time to look at Quan Yuren's expression, his brows were tightly locked, and he didn't answer a word. The atmosphere in the room was heavy, which made her nervous even more, and her hands trembled even more.
After some talking, Quan Yuren changed his posture, his back left the back of the seat, he sat upright, and said with a serious expression: "Mu Chen, I can't promise you about this, they..."
"Lord City Lord, we can be self-reliant, absolutely not bothering humans, we are willing to exchange all the wings and the Spirit Tree City that has lived for a hundred years, as long as you give us a piece of land, let..."
"Cocoa. Mu Chen interrupted her with a fierce voice, she had just started negotiating, but she showed her hole cards to the other party, which was too unwise.
"I want to arrange them in Qiming Village first, where there is an urgent need to replenish the population, and you don't need to bear the manpower and cost of reconstruction. β
"Qiming Village can't accommodate so many people, and it's unknown whether the villagers will agree..."
"It's not like moving the entire Spirit Clan over at once, let's move in a batch first, and then continue after we get along with each other. Accept them to solve the problem of the wings of all the surrounding villages and towns, they also have an absolutely safe Spirit Tree City, if you want, you can transform it into a temporary shelter, and the monster infestation that cannot be dealt with in time can be transferred there as soon as possible, and the Spirit Clan is responsible for their safety, which not only reduces the number of casualties, but also avoids the sudden influx of a large number of refugees in the Spirit City and cannot be contained. Mu Chen could only open the final conditions, and the negotiations had not yet seen a turnaround, but the cards in his hand had already been played.
"The city is in the Giant Crocodile Forest, how do you let the common people get there?"
"It's easy to do, the spirits can fly, they can train a group of rescuers, and they can make some simple vehicles to bring humans into the city. In the future, a special Spirit Race rescue team can also be formed, and they will be scattered and deployed all over the state, and it will definitely be more efficient to rescue disasters in the sky than on land. β
"You allow me to think about it again, it's..."
"The old man thinks it's feasible, old city lord, if the Spirit Clan can really do what Mu Chen said, then the response time to the disaster will be greatly reduced, and the number of casualties in the army will also be reduced. Besides, there are inexhaustible Tho Wings and a treetop city, and just reselling the Tho Wing will not know how much wealth it will bring to our Baoling Prefecture, considering these, it is not a good thing to accept them. Wei Gonglu fanned the flames on the side, he didn't care about human taboos, and the real master of Baoling Prefecture was not him, as long as he could provoke the contradictions between the people and Quan Yuren, no matter how complicated the situation was, he agreed.
"Or Wei Gonglu has foresight, don't worry, I know how difficult this matter is, and I also know how much resistance you will face, but back then, I was able to successfully bring the mercenary into Infinite City with Quan Rongsheng, and today I can also integrate the Spirit Clan into Baoling State with you. β
As soon as these words came out, the first one to be dumbfounded was Wei Gonglu, if Mu Chen compared Quan Yuren to the late Emperor Qi Si, then he would no longer be able to fight Prince Ren's father and son. He knew in his heart that Emperor Qi Si Quan Rongsheng was Mu Chen's most respected royal family, and the two were very close, and now that Quan Yuren was compared to him, wouldn't the Wei family become a subsidiary again, and all these years of hard work were in vain.
Quan Yuren's originally tightly knit brows spread out with his wide eyes, he didn't expect Mu Chen to look at himself like this, so he immediately nodded and replied sonorously: "This sentence to you, and also to our friendship in the past thirty years, I, Quan Yuren, am against all the nobles in Baoling Prefecture, and I will definitely properly settle the Spirit Clan." β
All his actions after returning to Baoling Prefecture from Infinite City were basically forced to helpless, Mu Chen's return could be said to be the biggest turning point for him to fight for the throne, but he had been dragged down by many trivial matters, and he had never tested Mu Chen's tendencies, nor did he dare to talk about it with him. But now, solving the problem of the migration of the Spirit Clan has become the key, and if it is handled well, he can become Mu Chen's closest comrade-in-arms, and he will definitely not let go of such an opportunity, so he naturally agrees happily and takes the most important step in his long-planned plan to seize the throne.
"Thank you, Lord City, Lord Wei, and Lord Mu Chen, our Spirit Race will definitely coexist amicably with the human race, and we will definitely not disappoint you. Lingxi Coco smiled happily and thanked him repeatedly.
"Okay, since you agreed, then when will we start, the reconstruction of Qiming Village must involve the Spirit Clan, let them build a home with the villagers, and adapt to human society as soon as possible. β
"Uh... Mu Chen, I still have to convince the major nobles in this matter, as well as the head of the merchant group..."Quan Yuren's brows rose again, and he stopped talking. Without the consent of all the nobles, he would not have taken the liberty of introducing the Spirit Race into the human race. But he took this opportunity to tell the story of Lianbazan Qimu together, and handed over all the problems of the merchant group to Mu Chen to solve.
"What's wrong with that fat master?
Quan Yuren recounted the negotiation process with him, and the crux of the problem was that Lianbazan Qimu was unwilling to make up lies, and he was worried about the future relationship between Baoling Prefecture and the wasteland, and he wanted to minimize the impact of this matter.
"Mu Chen, I'm not sure what the wasteland's reaction will be when they learn the truth, if they stop trading with our Baoling State, or do evil in the border area, I really can't deal with it, you see..."
"It's easy to do, you bring him tomorrow, and I'll tell him, I promise to satisfy you." Mu Chen looked at Quan Yuren with determination, full of confidence. The wasteland people can be resurrected, and they will lose their memories after resurrection and other relevant information Mu Chen chose to conceal it, and Quan Yuren's worries were not worth mentioning at all in the face of these facts that no one knew.
"It's best this way, he won't dare to bargain anymore if you come forward. At this point, all of Quan Yuren's doubts were resolved, and although the matter of the Spirit Clan would set off a wave of popular protests, he considered himself capable of making everyone nod in agreement.
The three of them briefly confirmed the matter of discussion, and then dispersed. Mu Chen and Lingxi Coco each went back to their rooms, Quan Yuren left the Wei Mansion with good news, only Wei Gonglu was still sitting in the room, his plan was obviously going well, and he didn't even need to continue to sow discord and intensify conflicts, as long as the two things of the merchant group pass and the relocation of the spirit clan were spread, Quan Yuren would definitely become the target of public criticism and lose his previous prestige. But it was precisely because of these two things that Mu Chen stood on the side of Quan Yuren, and in the end, he was only busy in vain and had no gain.
He thought about it and finally figured out that he had misplaced his energy from the beginning, he had been agitating the confrontation between the nobles and Quan Yuren, but he forgot to solve Mu Chen's needs, winning Mu Chen's trust was the primary goal, but he shoehorned the pass that he could easily get from his sister to his opponent, if he got the pass as soon as possible, if Mu Chen and his party had already entered the Infinite City, if he didn't stake the honor and disgrace of the Wei family on his own, then tonight's conversation would not have happened, and Mu Chen might have been attached to the queen, thinking of this, he stood up from his seat, beat his chest, and regretted itγ
At this point, everything that happened in Baoling Prefecture recently was basically resolved, the merchant group continued to travel, and the Spirit Clan was able to settle down, but at the same time, the news of Mu Chen's return also spread, and Quan Yuren and Wei Gonglu's respective calculations were no longer worth discussing in the face of the real rights of Diyang Capital.
