501 Late-night visitors
"Good people" and "ghost talents" firms?
I looked at the deputy general with some doubts, and then looked at Song Liangcai in the distance, and then suddenly realized: "Liang" in "Liangshi" and "Cai" in "Ghost Cai", isn't it the "Liangcai" of "Song Liangcai" together?
Obviously, these two firms should have been privately opened or controlled by Song Liangcai. Therefore, Song Liangcai still tried every possible way to get enough benefits for himself from this peace talks!
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but cry and laugh. But then I thought about it again, as long as the original negotiated conditions remained unchanged, it didn't matter which firm would swallow the big cake on the side of Giant Waterfall City. It doesn't matter who they want to make this money, as long as Stygian can do business with Waterfall City normally. Therefore, this additional condition has little effect on Hadeshaven.
"Okay! This article does not need to be written in the peace agreement, I will arrange for my subordinates to connect with you directly at that time. At the same time as signing the peace contract, we both sign a purchase and sale contract in the name of the commercial bank. I said to the adjutant general.
Now, not only the deputy general, but even Song Liangcai is also satisfied. He walked back and said to me, "Lord Zhai, since we have both negotiated, I will send my lieutenant to go back with you to negotiate the specific terms of the peace treaty. If it goes well, we'll meet again tomorrow and sign the official peace agreement. I hope that the Lord of Zhai Hong Kong will keep his promise! ”
I smiled and said, "That's natural, and I also hope that Deputy City Lord Song will be true to his words!" ”
"It's a deal!" Song Liangcai hugged his fists, then turned around and got off the reef, boarded the speedboat and left, leaving only the vice president to continue the negotiations.
Once the principles and conditions have been negotiated, the rest of the matter is much simpler. I also gave the task of negotiating the details of the terms to my subordinates, mockers and bookworms, who were to rub shoulders with Song Liangcai's lieutenant.
On the second day, according to the agreement between the two parties, I took the Intrepid to Hekou Town, and signed a peace treaty with Song Liangcai on the so-called "neutral" wharf of Hekou Town. History called: "Estuary Treaty"!
Afterwards, Song Liangcai led the remaining fleet of the Giant Waterfall City, pulled the boatload of grain and grass I gave them and the ten Stygian Sea Beads that I gave to the Wei City Lord of the Giant Waterfall City, and retreated back to the city.
Lin Miao, the mayor of Hekou Town, also came out at this time to warm me up, wanting to express his goodwill, and suggested that an agreement should also be signed between Hekou Town and Hades Harbor to formally establish diplomatic relations.
This guy, who previously declared neutrality on the surface, but has been using Waterfall as a logistics base for the attack on the Stygian Harbor, obviously still thinks that Waterfall is more likely to win in this war. But now that he saw that the Giant Waterfall City could not be attacked for a long time, he actually signed a peace treaty with the Stygian Harbor with a little aggrieved, so he couldn't sit still, and hurriedly took the initiative to show goodwill.
This kind of thing, in the final analysis, still relies on our own strength, forcing the strong enemy to retreat in a stupid way, so as to gain the respect of others. If the ending is the loss of the Underworld, I am afraid that the first one to jump out to congratulate the triumphant return of the Giant Waterfall City must be Lin Miao!
But annoyance is annoyance, at this time, with the strength of the Stygian Harbor, it is already an extraordinary performance to be able to repel the attack of the Giant Waterfall City, and I can no longer contradict Estuary Town, and I can only take advantage of the steep slope to get off the donkey and go down the steps.
This battle is like a big test, and the Stygian Harbor successfully survived in the face of the first great crisis, showing that as long as we have the same hearts and spirits, we can also rely on our fists to gain a foothold in the underworld. Moreover, a small Yin City that has only been established for more than a year has not bowed its head under the double pressure of the Difu and the Giant Waterfall City, and this invisible propaganda effect has made the Yin Cultivators and Ghost Cultivators who were expelled by the Difu and the nearby Yin City also come to the Underworld Harbor.
Backed by the Stygian Sea and close to the Ghost Eater Forest, the Stygian Harbor has sufficient resources, and what is lacking is only the population. The new influx of immigrants brought with them an abundance of labor and technology, and after a year, Hades was able to rebuild quickly, and its strength was not damaged, but strengthened!
As for the underworld, it is said that the lord of the Great Waterfall later wrote a letter to the king of Yama, claiming that he had suffered heavy losses and could no longer afford to crusade against the harbor. The reaction of the King of Yama is not yet known, but the statement of the City Lord of Wei is obviously exaggerated, and it is purely prevarication, in order to kick the ball back to the underworld.
However, the underworld won successive victories in the battle with the ghost army, beating the ghost marshal everywhere and hiding. I think it's for this reason that the underworld doesn't bother to pay attention to the matter of the Underworld. For King Yama, the problem of the Underworld Harbor is just a disease of moss, and the ghost army is his biggest problem!
In such a situation, Stygian Harbor has a rare respite and can focus most of its energy on economic development rather than the military. But at this time, a character that surprised me and Liu Han appeared, which seriously disturbed the minds of both of us!
One day, I was resting with Liu Han in the City Lord's Mansion. It was night, and although there was no curfew in the harbor, it was time to rest, so we both went back to our rooms and prepared for bed.
"Click!"
A few cautious knocks sounded on the door, followed by a slightly embarrassed voice from the governor of the Hong Kong Lord's Mansion: "Hong Kong Lord, Deputy Hong Kong Lord, there are distinguished guests who want to see!" ”
I frowned and raised my head, "It's so late, let's talk about it tomorrow!" ”
After being silent for a long time, the acquaintance outside the door still did not leave, but coughed twice and said: "The subordinate said the same to the distinguished guest at the beginning, but the guest insisted that the subordinate come to report, and gave a token, saying that he wanted me to hand it over to the deputy port owner. He also said that as long as the deputy port lord saw the token, he would definitely agree with her. ”
"For me?" Liu Han was surprised.
"Yes!"
In the middle of the night, this mysterious person came to the Hong Kong Lord's Mansion to ask for a meeting, but it was Liu Han who asked to see him, which is very strange!
So, Liu Han and I both put on our clothes and went out to open the door. In order to avoid suspicion, Zhike lowered his head, his face was facing to one side, and there was a token in the plate in his hand, and a striking red silk scarf was pressed underneath!
I was still a little confused at first glance, but Liu Han's reaction was as if he had been shocked, his lips trembled, and then he stepped forward and grabbed the token and silk scarf to examine them carefully.
"Whose stuff is this?" I asked her.
Liu Han gritted his teeth, and only then did he squeeze out two words from between his teeth: "Wu Fang!" ”
"Wu Fang?"
This time it was my turn to be surprised. Wu Fang is Liu Han's master, who used to serve as the deputy city lord in Zuoqiu City, in charge of the city guards, and is also the leader of the Shengyang Gang. Because her style was very serious and sincere at that time, she offended many people, so she gave her nickname in private: "Old Witch"!
But just a year before Liu Han went to the underworld, without warning, Wu Fang suddenly gave up the position of deputy city lord, left Zuoqiu City with a few henchmen, and went to Ghost Shuai. As soon as she left at that time, the Shengyang Gang disciples left behind, including Liu Han, were like abandoned children, and they were ostracized and troubled.
Speaking of which, Wu Fang's defection also greatly changed the trajectory of Liu Han's fate and me. It was for this reason that Liu Han took the initiative to sign up to join the Yin Army, and I did everything possible to follow Liu Han to the underworld. Otherwise, maybe the two of us will probably still be in Zuoqiu City at this time!
Unexpectedly, after nearly ten years, Wu Fang actually took the initiative to look for him again, wanting to meet his former disciple Liu Han!
I saw that Liu Han's expression was very tangled, his eyes were full of anger, but he seemed to be looking forward to it, so I asked her, "Do you want to see her?" ”
"See you!" Liu Han finally made up his mind and answered categorically. With her character, she will never choose to escape in the face of this kind of thing, and it is estimated that this is why Wu Fang dared to say to her acquaintance that Liu Han would definitely go out to see her.
"Do you need me ......?"
"No, you don't!" Before I finished my words, Liu Han denied it, "I'll go to see her alone!" ”
With that, Liu Han strode out of the bedroom and went straight to the living room in front of the Hong Kong Lord's Mansion, while Zhike was a little at a loss, and followed her in a panic and trotted all the way over there.
Actually, I was also very curious about why Wu Fang suddenly came here to meet Liu Han, but it was about the relationship between her and Liu Han's master and apprentice, and I really didn't want to disturb me.
That's right, although Liu Han was extremely angry with Wu Fang's actions back then, he never said in front of me that he no longer recognized this master, and Wu Fang did not publicly say that he wanted to cut off relations with the disciples of the Shengyang Gang at the beginning, so these two women with very pungent personalities and bold and strong styles are still in a master-apprentice relationship!
After such a beating, I didn't feel sleepy, so I simply walked out of the bedroom and paced in the small garden in the middle of the house, waiting for Liu Han and Wu Fang to meet and return.
Unexpectedly, after a full hour, Liu Han came back from the front, and there seemed to be traces of crying on his face. I came forward to comfort her with pity and took her into my arms to comfort her. Liu Han was also a little weaker, leaning on my shoulder and crying silently for a while.
"What did she say?" I asked softly, "Did she apologize to you?" ”
"Hmm!"
"Have you forgiven her?"
"Hmm!"
"How did she know you were here in Stygian Harbor?"
Only then did Liu Han straighten up, wipe away his tears, and said, "Actually, the purpose of her coming this time is not me, but you!" ”
"Me?" I was stunned on the spot and asked, "What is she looking for me for?" Then why did she ask to see you instead of me? ”
"Because she hasn't crossed paths with you before, she wants to convince you through me!"
"Convince me to do something?"
"I hope you can defect to the ghost commander and lead the Stygian Harbor to join the ghost army!"
"What?"
At this time, I must have been dumbfounded and at a loss. It turned out that Wu Fang was actually here to be a lobbyist, and even the ghost handsome had the idea of the Stygian Harbor!
