Chapter 16: The Lobbyist Comes to the Door
The reorganization of the troops in Doomsday Phoenix is in full swing.
All the fighters in the camp were scattered and replenished into the four escort brigades of New Teague in Phoenix, and military training was carried out according to the standards of Phoenix, and the combat effectiveness of this unit was rapidly improving every day.
The leaders and evolutionaries of the original forces were also enriched into the troops, serving as the backbone of the troops from platoon commander to regiment commander, and Xuan Xiude of Qingyuan Valley was even assigned to Yang Hongquan's brigade as a deputy brigade commander. It should be mentioned that his daughter Xuanqi did not enter the escort brigade, but took the initiative to ask to go to Qiu Ying's internal affairs office.
The Phoenix City Guard Division has the highest proportion of evolutionary staffing, not only the platoon commander and deputy platoon leader, but individual evolutionaries can only serve as squad leaders in the army.
In addition to the large number of new Evolvers added to this expansion, Evolvers awakened almost every day in the troops, and four soldiers awakened to become Evolvers at the same time on the highest night.
Except for Chi Hua and Yi Fengleng, no one knew why the troops suddenly had such a high awakening ratio. But the most speculated reason is Chen Guojun, Chen Guojun's large amount of exercise and high-intensity military training have stimulated the awakening of abnormal abilities in the human body.
Time! Given time, Chen Guojun and his instructor corps will make the Phoenix City Escort Division the most powerful armed force in the entire Northwest Regions in the last days.
But what Phoenix lacks the most is time, especially the successive visits of several uninvited guests, which makes Phoenix feel that time is even more urgent.
In the conference hall of Phoenix City, a slightly chubby old man with gray hair was drinking tea leisurely, completely uncaring that he had been sitting here for more than an hour.
The old man's pure white priest's robe was so dazzling in the city. The fierce gazes of the eight guards standing guard in front of the hall never left the old man's body, and the murderous aura in his eyes made the four evangelists standing behind the old man feel terrified. The old man only cared about drinking the tea that had been brewed to the point where it had no taste.
"Priest Baili, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting." Chi Hua walked in from outside with a smile, followed by Qiu Ying and Ouyang Minglang.
Baili was unharmed, and hurriedly got up and bowed his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "The city lord Chi has a lot of opportunities, and I'm embarrassed to come to the door to disturb me suddenly." ”
The two smiled and gave up their seats to each other, if they didn't know the inside story, they thought they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
"Baili Priest's complexion is still so good, the first two times we met were all quick glances, Chi Mou is very sorry that he couldn't leave the priest to say a few more words." Chi Hua was still smiling, but the exchange of words had already begun.
Some people are born to laugh, and Baili Wuxiao is one of the best, Baili Wuxian's smile is more gentle and sincere than Chi Hua, "Lao Yu has always admired Chi City Lord's young heroes, and he was very sorry for his hurried farewell last time, and he never forgot Chi City Lord's heroic posture day and night, so he took the initiative to ask for orders to visit the City Lord in front of Bishop Duke." ”
Chi Hua almost got goosebumps, such hypocritical words were said in Baili Wuxian's mouth, but they were extraordinarily sincere, and Chi Hua was really willing to bow down in this regard.
Chi Hua then said with a straight face: "Priest Baili just mentioned Bishop Duke, is the bishop's injury healed?" ”
Duke's injury was naturally the one that Song Yu shot, and Chi Hua's words were superficially concerned and secretly ridiculed, which was really vicious.
"There is the city lord of Laochi, compared to the Chosen City being able to return to the arms of the lord, the little injury on the bishop's body is simply not worth mentioning." Baili returned it quietly.
"The land left by the ancestors will always be Chinese, and no cow, ghost, snake or god will want to take an inch!" The murderous aura on Chi Hua's body began to be exposed.
Baili laughed unharmed, "City Lord Chi is still young and vigorous!" I don't think we're going to do this useless war of words. ”
"Oh? Baili priest doesn't argue, so what is it to fight for in my Phoenix City? Chi Hua also wanted to get into the topic quickly and see what the Heavenly Gate Sect was doing without harm.
"City Lord Chi, don't get me wrong, Bishop Duke didn't send me to Phoenix City this time to fight, but to 'let'."
Chi Hua didn't speak, and looked straight at Baili Wu, waiting for him to continue.
"We Chinese have always talked about turning war into jade, and I was ordered to come to Phoenix City this time to seek peace, hoping that the two sides can completely cease fighting."
Chi Hua was stunned, Chi Hua had a lot of guesses about the purpose of this trip, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to sue for peace, in Chi Hua's opinion, the two sides have an insoluble grudge.
Chi Hua didn't look at Baili Wuxiao for the first time, but turned his head to look at Qiu Ying, who was bowing his head slightly.
Chi Hua, who was confirmed by Qiu Ying, was even more surprised instead of dispelling his doubts, "Can we still make peace with each other?" Chi Hua first asked rhetorically.
Baili Wuxiao smiled and nodded gently, "There is no grudge in this world that cannot be dissolved, since Doomsday Phoenix City can give up the enmity between Zhong Liyi, why can't it let go of the enmity between the two forces?" ”
Baili Unharmed continued: "If you really say that there is a grudge, it should be the Gate of Heaven to take revenge on the Chi City Lord, since the debut of the Chi City Lord, he first killed my innocent sect members in Xiwang Town, destroyed my stronghold, and then forcibly robbed my Guhaicang Coal Mine, designed to kill Cameron, captured Chen Qi alive, and took advantage of the emptiness behind our battle with the Bright Alliance to seize the Chosen City!" Chi City Lord can seriously recall it, what I said is the truth? ”
Chi Hua scratched his head a little embarrassed, although there was a reason for the incident, but just now, everything was said by himself, and he really did it himself.
Seeing that Chi Hua didn't speak, he continued to say: "Since my gate of heaven can be put down, and the general of Chi City Lord can run a horse on his chest, what can't he put down?" And the truce is also beneficial to both of us, although my Heaven's Gate has been damaged in strength after two consecutive battles, it is not something that Doomsday Phoenix can easily take. Qinghai is big enough to accommodate two super forces, and we both fight to the death, don't we make wedding clothes for her? ”
Baili is unharmed, can speak well, and really has the talent to be a god, if it weren't for the different positions of the two sides, Chi Hua would have agreed with what he said.
Chi Hua pretended to be moved, "Then what about the conditions of the truce?" ”
Baili Wuxiao had been prepared for this for a long time, "Draw a dividing line between the spheres of influence of the two sides one hundred kilometers east of the Chosen City, and my Heavenly Gate will withdraw all the open and hidden forces east of the dividing line and promise never to step into the dividing line in the future; Phoenix is also not allowed to cross the line. The two sides can cooperate to develop abroad, and in order to show sincerity, we can first release the thousands of people in the Chosen City who were captured last time and allow the Phoenix Coin to circulate freely in the sphere of influence. ”
Chi Hua's heart moved, the people who made Zhong Liyi break through the siege last time and had to leave behind have always been a stalk in Chi Hua's heart, he thought that these people had been poisoned by the gate of heaven, and he didn't want to be alive.
Chi Hua pondered for a long time and said slowly: "The plan is very fair, but I don't agree. ”
"Ahh Baili Wuxiao was very surprised, but he didn't expect that he couldn't say anything about Chi Hua despite all his efforts, and asked very unwillingly: "Can City Lord Chi give me a reason?" ”
"The priest of Baili should have heard a saying, it is called the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, many things are not just a matter of profit, our Tao and the gate of heaven will never go together!"
Baili Wuwu couldn't help but be a little depressed, saying that there was no room for maneuver in this part, and his mission on this trip still failed after all.
Chi Hua suddenly changed his words, "I know that your Gate of Heaven needs to recuperate, and I, Phoenix City, also need time to digest the remnants of the Light Alliance, and at the same time, for the sake of those thousands of people, although it is impossible to cooperate, we are willing to accept your conditions for a temporary truce." ”
The peak turned around, and Baili was unharmed, and he was overjoyed, but his good mood was destroyed by Chi Hua in the next second.
Chi Hua's eyes suddenly rolled, "Although the two sides can stop fighting, I don't believe you, if the Gate of Heaven really intends to negotiate peace, let Duke. Barry came to talk to me. ”
Baili Wuxiao also turned quickly in his heart, thinking about Chi Hua's true intentions, does Phoenix really want a truce or has ulterior motives?
As if seeing Baili's concerns, Chi Hua curled the corners of his mouth slightly sarcastically, "If Duke is afraid of a trap and doesn't dare to come to Phoenix, I can go to the Chosen City." If Duke doesn't even dare to show his face, why should I trust you? ”
Baili had no choice but to accept Chi Hua's proposal, and go back to ask Duke if he was willing to meet with Chi Hua, which was better than talking about collapse now.
Baili was frustrated to find that although the negotiation process between the two sides was talking most of the time, the other party had been controlling the negotiation process.
As soon as the front foot was sent away for a hundred miles, Chi Hua on the back foot ushered in a more unexpected lobbyist - Zhao Shaolin from Tian Ziming's Haixi regime, Secretary General Zhao.
Zhao Shaolin thought that it was the first time he met Chi Hua, and he was respectful to Chi Hua, but he didn't know that Chi Hua had secretly seen his face several times.
Compared with the old fox who was unfazed for hundreds of miles, Zhao Shaolin's smile was full of trepidation and grovel.
Zhao Shaolin was naturally frightened, the person who was publicly rewarded by the Haixi regime back then has now become the leader of a super force, if the other party still holds on to the events of the year, he will have no return this time.
Chi Hua naturally won't worry about the events of the year anymore, unlike the grudge that can't be dissolved with the gate of heaven, the entanglement between Chi Hua and the Haixi regime is just the crystal nucleus of Tian Ziming's greed for Shun'an Commercial Bank back then, and he happened to be hit by the pond fish in the convoy. One is a public grudge and the other is a private vendetta, and there is an essential difference between the two.
In order to express his apologies for the events of that year, Zhao Shaolin brought a large number of gifts, including ten evolutionary crystal nuclei and a large number of diamonds and gold.
Chi Hua smiled and accepted it all.
Although the Haixi regime's visit to the door was unexpected, its intentions were very easy to guess. The battle between the Haixi regime and the Doomsday Salvation Army on the frontal battlefield was losing one after another, and in the eyes of discerning people, the final defeat of the Haixi regime seemed to be only a matter of time, and Tian Ziming seized every opportunity to save his life at any cost.
For the Doomsday Phoenix City, which has just absorbed the remnants of the Light Alliance, has risen to become a super force highly valued by all parties, and the feud between Chi Hua and the Doomsday Salvation Army is even more well-known, Shan Xiongzhong's Doomsday Salvation Army raided Shengshui Town and killed Chi Hua's eldest brother Luo Zhigang, Chi Hua broke into the military camp and killed Shan Xiongzhong's son Shan Hao and openly left his name, and the hatred between the two sides was even greater than the gate of heaven.
Zhao Shaolin's purpose in coming to the door is precisely this, hoping that the Haixi regime and Doomsday Phoenix can form an alliance with each other's Shan Xiongzhong's Doomsday Salvation Army, and the two sides will divide Qinghai equally after the fact. As for the Gate of Heaven, in Tian Ziming's eyes, this kind of cult that came from abroad should be eradicated together after the matter is completed.
It was almost useless for Zhao Shaolin to bother with anything, and Chi Hua readily agreed to this. It's just that Haixi is asked to keep the alliance between the two sides secret for the time being, but Chi Hua promised that as long as the two sides agree on the time of attack, Doomsday Phoenix will launch a surprise attack on the Doomsday Salvation Army from behind.
Looking at the back of Zhao Shaolin, who was leaving with joy, Chi Hua let out a long sigh, "Feng Leng, come back quickly, our big scene is about to begin." ”
