Chapter 68: Negotiation
Just a few hours ago, the city was still alive and well.
The unwarranted calamity destroyed it completely, pulling it into the endless abyss.
Fragile mortals became innocent victims of this paradoxical war, accompanying the city to its death at the hands of heretical creatures.
The foul smell of corpses all over the city can blow away the evil that belongs here in the distance on this early summer night.
Rao is Han Qingluo is accustomed to seeing purgatory in the world, and he also felt a chill at the scene in front of him, a chill from his back to his scalp, and his stomach turned over and over, faintly nauseating.
Sensing Han Qingluo's discomfort, Jue held her in his arms and motioned her to bury her head in her chest: "Don't be afraid! ”
His calm and magnetic voice made Han Qingluo feel an unprecedented sense of security, as if with him, all dangers and difficulties could be solved.
His strong and powerful arms hugged him tightly, he was so full of strength, and in front of him, he seemed to have become a lot smaller, as if thinking of the kiss just now, Han Qingluo's cheeks unconsciously flew out of a flush, and his ears were hot.
Buried in his arms, the familiar ginger orchid filled her nose, reminding her of the good old days, this fragrance was often used by her, but now it has become his exclusive use.
Thinking of this, Han Qingluo had a bold guess in his heart: Jue also likes her!
The corners of his lips stretched inexorably to the sides, smiling happily, but trying to suppress his movements, secretly conjecturing.
She had sworn that as long as she could meet Jue again, she would confess her heart to him.
But at the moment, the intimate kiss was done, but a lot of words in my heart were stuck in my throat, and I didn't know what to say.
Isn't a kiss enough to say it all?
A smart guy like Jue shouldn't have to take the initiative to speak up as a girl, right?
But...... In case, he just thinks it's fun and takes the initiative, then wouldn't he have no face?
So......
Do I want to confess again seriously?
Han Qingluo was already thinking nonsense, and his brain was in a mess.
The joy of the reunion made her block everything from the outside world, completely unaware that the silent smoke of gunpowder was filling outside.
The confrontation with the demons ended, and the two demon secret parties, which had naturally been opposed for a long time, were divided into two factions again, and the temporary peace immediately collapsed, and the situation began to tense again.
"Long time no see! Mr. Jue! ”
A large number of reinforcements converged with the blood clan of the alliance, and a silver-haired man in the figure walked out particularly conspicuously, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and purple eyes staring directly at Jue.
Jue glanced at him coldly, didn't bother to pay attention to this sinister and cunning guy, moved his gaze to Galo opposite, and smiled at him.
This smile, Galo understood, and also smiled in return.
was blatantly and deliberately ignored by Jue, and a trace of gloom flashed on Sevi's face, but he was quickly suppressed, still holding a gentlemanly smile.
"Take this opportunity to destroy the remnants of the Demon Party as soon as possible!" One of the Secret Bloodlines made a loud offer.
The current situation, the blood clan and power of the secret party are far beyond the current demon party, in the previous confrontation with the demon clan, they lost a lot of strength, at this time strike while the iron is hot, it is not impossible to annihilate in one fell swoop.
As soon as these words came out, many voices in the crowd also echoed, and the blatant provocation of the secret party further intensified the tension between the two forces.
A string is tightened, and it is just one touch away to break the stalemate. Before the fight began, the air was filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke.
"Now that the demons are coveting us in the dark, we are all blood clans, we should no longer oppose each other, we should unite against unknown and powerful forces!"
At this time, Galo stood up and spoke rationally.
Soon, some opponents retorted: "It is enough for the entire secret party to unite, if you want us to unite with the demon party, it is impossible!" ”
Immediately, there was another wave of coaxing among the secret party blood clan.
Their quarrel attracted Han Qingluo's attention, but she was not a blood clan, so she couldn't interject in their conversation, so she just watched silently, and she had already withdrawn from her cranky thoughts, and looked at Jue beside her worriedly.
Galo looked at this group of passionate alliances, frowned, and continued: "In the past three years, the invasion of the demon race has disrupted the world of humans and blood clans, and the one who has suffered the most loss is our secret blood clan, both the persecution of the human world and the invasion of demons, how many brothers have we lost?"
If you still want to make enemies at this time, won't you push all the blood clans into the abyss? Why don't we put aside the mustard of the past, fight the enemy together, and protect the peace of our blood society?
The biggest crisis of the blood clan is coming, you have also seen the strength of the demon clan with your own eyes, if they are allowed to infringe on the blood clan society, no one will be able to live in peace at that time! ”
Galo's heartfelt words seemed to shake this group of paranoid fellows, and they all fell silent, with different faces and thoughts.
At this time, there was a round of applause from the blood clan, and following the prestige, it was Sevi with a smirk on his face: "Count Galo is impassioned and wonderful, but shouldn't the decisions of all things be discussed between the highest decision-makers in the power world and the council?" ”
The implication of his words is that Galo has no right to rule over all the secret clans in the realm, and no matter what, he has no right to interfere with everyone's opinions, even if he is the son of the prince!
The chiefs of other clans in the realm may form councils to act as advisors to the prince, overseeing his administration and sharing responsibility for ruling the realm.
Galo knew that he could not refute Sevi's words, so he followed his words and said, "Lord Sevi is right, so it is better to let the prince and the council decide!" Before the resolution comes out, it is better for both sides to cease fighting! ”
As he spoke, Garlo looked at Jue with trust.
Jue sold his face, and his head agreed to this suggestion: "Lord Garo understands the righteousness, and I agree with this suggestion." ”
Tonight's sneak attack of the demons has caused heavy losses on both sides, and if there is still a war, it will be the result of the fish dying and the net will be broken, and a truce is the best decision.
Se Wei lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and spoke again: "Since you want to negotiate, the demon party should show sincerity, who knows if you will go back on your word and fight back?" After all, it was you who invaded our territory first, and just this one article, our secret party has enough reasons to punish you! ”
Jue sneered, his eyes showing disdain: "Lord Sevi, don't forget, we are not the blood clan of the secret party, your death rules, just keep them by yourself!" ”
Sevi smiled coldly and said no more.
"In that case, I will trouble the representatives of all the clans to go back and inform the patriarchs that they will gather at Bevo Manor tomorrow night to discuss such a major matter!" Galo said respectfully with the face of the blood clan of the five major clans, and turned to face Jue: "Then on the side of the demon party, which one is going to send to negotiate?" ”
"To show sincerity, I, the leader, will personally participate in the negotiations!" Jue replied without thinking.
This was exactly what Sevi wanted, and he naturally didn't open his mouth to object.
"Lord Jue, let me go!"
on the side looked serious and whispered to Tong Jue.
Jue lowered his eyes and shook his head: "After weighing all the pros and cons, it is better for me to go, you can rest assured that you will stay in the base camp, always beware of the sneak attack of the secret party, and wait for me to come back!" ”
Heyman opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Lord Jue had already made up his mind, and it was something that could not be reversed, but he still shouted at the other side uneasily: "In order to prevent your secret party from going back against itself, we must send a small number of people to protect Lord Jue!" ”
"I'm okay with that!" Galo first agreed, "Anyway, in our earthly forces, I believe that the Demon Party will be sincere in its alliance with us, so this request can also show the generosity and sincerity of our secret party, do you think Galo's analysis is correct?" ”
Seeing that the other representatives nodded in agreement, Sevi was embarrassed and reluctantly agreed.
After some consultation, the two sides withdrew their forces, and the five clans that came with reinforcements also rushed back to their own clan land with their men, and informed the patriarchs to attend the meeting tomorrow night.
led the remaining Demon Bloodlines to retreat to the base camp, leaving Yuke and Rensen and a few good Bloodlines to follow Galo back to Bevo Manor.
And Bedren in Bevo Manor has already received the final battle situation, and he doesn't care about Galo's self-assertion for the time being.
Although Jue once saved his life, as the most important representative of the secret party, Bedren naturally can't be emotional, after all, he bears not only himself, but also the interests of the entire Kroya blood.
After the representatives of the Demon Party arrived at Bevo Manor, after a short polite exchange, they were "invited" to stay in one of the most heavily guarded buildings and wait for tomorrow's negotiations.
The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.
Since Jue is in the core of the secret party's territory, he will naturally not be so arrogant that no one will look at him, and he also understands that if the demon party continues to confront the secret party, it will be the demon clan that will benefit in the end.
If the secret party is destroyed by the demon clan, it is naturally impossible for their demon party to stay out of the matter, and the scourge will sooner or later affect themselves, and negotiating peace is the best choice to preserve the future of the blood clan society.
In the entire big house, there were only a few of them from the Demon Party and one human who was not treated well - Han Qingluo.
Outside, there are hundreds of secret party blood guards, so tightly guarded that not a single mosquito can fly in, let alone a person, and it is impossible to escape with wings.
After some discussion, they quickly decided on the content of tomorrow night's negotiations.
At the end of the short meeting, Jue dismissed Lenson and Yuke, leaving Han Qingluo alone in his room and staying with him.
The atmosphere suddenly became very delicate, Han Qingluo sat on the chair in a regular manner, her trembling eyes showed that she was uncomfortable in her heart, and she didn't dare to look up at Jia Luo beside her.
I only caught a glimpse of his half body leaning against the window, and I didn't know what expression he had on his face now, let alone where his eyes fell at this time.
There was still a little anxiety in my heart, like a cat's claw scratching, but I still had to try to restrain my desire to look up.
The days when he was called boss had never been so embarrassing before, and now that intimate things have been done, it is really uncomfortable that he doesn't have the courage to look at him head-on.
If you knew it earlier, you would stay honest, wouldn't it be nice to get along like before? If you have to put yourself in such an embarrassing situation, you really can't live by yourself!
There was a long silence.
In the afterglow, Han Qingluo actually caught a glimpse of Jue's footsteps, and his whole body moved away from the window, and he was walking towards him.
The hands on his legs were clenched unconsciously, and even Yu Guang didn't dare to move to Jue's side, only staring at his hands that had nowhere to put them.
"How long are you going to be silent?"
His quiet voice came from the top of his head, there were no special emotional waves, peaceful and gentle, it was really not like the previous mean style.
"Huh?"
Han Qingluo had an embarrassed smile on his face and looked up at Jue.
The faint candlelight behind him, a faint yellowish hull over his body like a veil, and the light created a shadow drop on his angular outline.
With his fair skin, his delicate facial features are set off beautifully, and it just so happens that the black hair on his forehead hangs down on his lazy and blurry eyes, which is very charming.
A sentence immediately popped up in Han Qingluo's mind: He is seducing me!
Faced with the stunner in this world, and the guy he had been thinking about for three years, Han Qingluo's throat couldn't help but move, and he looked at him in a daze......
The corners of Jue's lips hooked into a charming smile, his thin lips opened lightly, and he continued to say in his magnetic voice: "You seem to have something to say to me." ”
