186 Negotiations
As the night receded, the desert wind became stronger, and the rising sun that should have risen in the east was covered by the clouds on the horizon, and the entire quicksand city was shrouded in a gray mist.
A crack suddenly flashed through the closed north gate of Quicksand City, and a burly man with a bow and arrow in his hand came out of the crack in the door and quietly sneaked towards the demon army camp a thousand meters in front of him.
The strong man bent over, ran extremely fast, and stopped three hundred meters away from the enemy camp, he took out a long blue arrow with three small holes in the shaft of the arrow from the quiver behind him, and took out a bamboo tube from his arms, carefully tied it to the arrow, and then pulled the bow and arrows, and shot out towards the demon army camp in front.
As soon as the blue arrow left the string, it let out a piercing whistle, drawing a long arc in the air and falling towards the demon army camp, and inserted it into a tent next to it under the stunned eyes of several awakened sentinels.
"Enemy attack!"
The sentinels screamed, and the entire demon army camp was suddenly in chaos, and the strong man who shot the arrow turned around and ran after seeing that the long arrow had caused the demon army to be alarmed, and when the sharp-eyed blood skeleton warrior found out, he was already less than a hundred meters away from the city gate, and rushed into the city with a few ups and downs.
A low-level demon general came to the tent, pulled out the blue arrow, and loudly stopped the panicked Blood Skull warrior when he saw the bamboo tube on it.
The bamboo tube was soon sent to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Half an hour later, Zichuan Hong took the three demon generals on the war horse, and the black chariot parked in the rear camp also slowly drove out, and the hundred black-armored warriors who escorted the chariot followed closely behind, and a group of people slowly walked towards Quicksand City.
Seventy meters away from the city gate, Zichuan Hong and the others stopped, they were surprised to find that the siege beast that died in front of the gate last night was gone, and the doubts in their hearts were just born, and they were immediately dispersed by several familiar figures that appeared on the city tower.
"Son of the Demon God. ”
Zi Chuanhong raised his head, his pupils contracted slightly, remembering the scene of Ye Haotian killing the siege beast under the siege of five people yesterday, and there was a faint respect in his heart, although the two armies were hostile, he also had to admire Ye Haotian's strength and resourcefulness.
"Are you General Hiroshi Shikawa?"
Ye Haotian was dressed in a cyan robe, leaning on a stone pillar on the city tower, and beside him, stood Zhuzhu Su Ning'er Xu Heihu, as well as several family masters of Quicksand City. After yesterday's battle, several captives of the Demon Army confessed a lot of important information about the Blood Skull Legion under the 'care' of Qibo, including the names and cultivation of the main generals.
"Exactly, the son of the demon god called General Ben to the city early in the morning, saying that he wanted to negotiate a deal, I don't know what kind of deal it is?"
Ye Haotian smiled and said unhurriedly: "I remember the one standing in the car, what kind of bullshit military master is your leader this time, right?"
From the moment he walked out of the barracks, Ying Jiu had been frowning, he didn't understand what Ye Haotian meant by suddenly meeting with a few of his own people, his intuition told him that there must be some conspiracy in it, and now when he heard Ye Haotian's mocking words, he aimed at himself, and was about to sneer twice, Zi Chuanhong's voice sounded first: "He is no longer now." ”
"Oh?" Ye Haotian pretended to be surprised, "Why?
"Ye Haotian!" Ying Jiu shouted in a sharp voice: "You called us here, is it just to say this?"
Ye Haotian hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, of course not, I said in the letter that I want to negotiate a deal with your lord...... The deal was too big, and I was afraid that one person wouldn't be able to call the shots, so I called you all over. ”
"Then you can say it now. The red-haired demon general on the side asked coldly.
Ye Haotian's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said, "It's very simple, I hope you will retire." ”
"Retirement?"
Several demon generals were stunned for a moment, no one expected Ye Haotian to make such a request.
Ying Jiu looked at Ye Haotian's face coldly, and when he heard the words 'retreat', his pupils shrank slightly, remembering Ye Haotian's habits in the past, and immediately asked, "What about the conditions?"
"I'll go with you. Ye Haotian's answer was simple and direct.
The expressions on the faces of the four demon generals suddenly became strange.
The demon army besieged Quicksand City, just to catch the son of the demon god, and failed to break the city gate after paying the heavy price of more than 4,000 blood skeleton warriors in the two sieges, and now he is willing to be bound, which is to say that there is no conspiracy and even the dead do not believe in it.
Although several demon generals are not people of great wisdom, they are not fools, and after listening to Ye Haotian's words, they can see the doubts in each other's hearts from each other's eyes.
Zichuan Hong was silent for a moment and said, "General Ben remembers that he took the initiative to propose to exchange you for the lives of the people of Quicksand City yesterday, but it seems that you rejected it, why did you change your mind now?"
"Want to hear the truth?" Ye Haotian said unhurriedly.
Su Ning'er couldn't stand it anymore in the back, and asked Zhuzhu in a low voice: "What is he doing! ”
"He's stalling for time. Zhu Zhu said.
"What?" Su Ning'er almost screamed, and hurriedly covered her mouth, "I'm in a hurry, and he still ......"
Xu Heihu interjected: "This kind of negotiation tests the patience and composure of both sides, if Ye Haotian is too anxious, the demon army will be suspicious, the more natural he behaves, the longer it drags on, the more drums will be beaten in the other party's heart, some words need to be said at the right time to get unexpected results, when he was in Rongshan City, didn't the county lord read books about the negotiation between the two armies?"
"Who reads those broken books!" Su Ning'er didn't notice the change in Xu Heihu's address to her, and said disdainfully: "Those negotiators are more insidious than the other, and each is more cunning than the other, which is simply damaged." ”
Xu Heihu glanced at Ye Haotian and suddenly felt a little sorry for him.
"Please. Hiroshi Shikawa's tone also became polite.
Ye Haotian smiled and said: "Don't be angry when you say it, I'm a relatively simple person, I speak straight, the reason why I didn't agree to your request yesterday is because I think with the strength of the city, I can eat you all, as a result, I didn't expect us to die, but less than half of you died...... If I say that, General Zichuan can understand, right?"
Hiroshi Shikawa and the three demon generals all turned unnatural.
"Does Ye Gongzi mean that yesterday because you thought you could win the battle against us, you resisted desperately, and later found that there was no hope of winning the next battle, so you proposed to negotiate?" Zichuan Hong said in a strange tone.
"Yes, that's what it means. Ye Haotian nodded again and again, "In our human words, this is called accepting when you see a good thing, and it is also called being able to bend and stretch, of course, you can also be regarded as bullying the soft and afraid of the hard." ”
