"We don't beat around the bush either!"

Shangguan Bo's tone was stunned, his eyes looked at Li Ba, and he directly confessed: "Huameng belongs to Longcheng, what conditions do you have?" In other words, what method do you plan to take to let Huameng belong to Dragon City? ”

If the video hadn't been shown before, the chairman of the council would not have said this to Li Ba at the beginning of the negotiations. Now, Huameng's background is fully revealed, and he and everyone here know in their hearts that instead of talking about unreliable things, it is better to let Li Ba put forward his own conditions, and they can weigh their actions.

"First of all, I need the Psychic Ancient Jade, not only the one in the auction hall, but also the Psychic Ancient Jade in the hands of the Martial Sect Qinglong Great Elder, you must ensure that it is in my hands!" That's the key. It is also the first condition of Li Ba.

"No problem!" Shangguan Bo readily agreed. The other six also had no objections. But Lu Shan has something to ask.

"What is the use of the Psychic Ancient Jade to you? Can you tell us about it? ”

Li Ba had long expected that someone would ask this question. At this moment, the seven people present, including Yuan Danqing, were all curious.

He pretended to hesitate, put on a look of 'I don't want to say it but I can't help but say it', and said slowly: "Jade essence molds are needed to build talismans in batches, and psychic ancient jade is an indispensable material for molds!" ”

He's talking nonsense, of course. In this way, it can explain the importance of the psychic ancient jade to oneself, and let the seven people present relieve their doubts. Second, it is only a talisman mold, and if you put forward a non-point request, it is limited to this aspect.

Sure enough, Lu Shan's next sentence was about the talisman mold: "The psychic ancient jade has no problem for you, how many sets of talisman molds can you give us?" ”

"That's right. There are comings and goings, and we can't give in vain. No return! Sun Chuanzong agreed.

Li Ba looked at the two guys, smiled and said, "Two of you." Looks like I'm the first to make the conditions! ”

"Brother Li is right!" Yuan Danqing agreed.

Shangguan Bo spoke slowly, "Don't mention these things for the time being, and we will discuss them after Brother Yuan finishes talking about the conditions for Huameng's annexation!" ”

The other three nodded in agreement.

Lu Shan and Sun Chuanzong seemed to find themselves a little anxious, pinching their noses and not saying anything.

"Our Huameng is attached, it must be autonomous like Mongolia, and all military, political, commercial, people's livelihood, etc., Longcheng must not interfere!"

This is the second condition of Li Ba. It is also equivalent to the last condition. The rest is all about trade between the two places, and has nothing to do with the overall situation.

For Li Ba, this condition. The seven members of the Council were not surprised. Huameng is so powerful, how can the other party easily hand over the power in his hands.

"Other aspects can be autonomous, and the army must definitely be collected in Longcheng and deployed in a unified manner!" Lu Shan spoke.

Li Ba didn't give him a good face this time, and said coldly: "My brothers are not used to obeying other people's dispatches, so there is no need to negotiate in this regard!" He refused, indicating his attitude. There is no room for negotiation.

"Okay, we can leave the army alone, in terms of business, Huameng must use dragon coins!" Sun Chuanzong took a back seat. Demand that the Chinese Union abolish the existing currency. Adopt Dragon Coins. In this way, it is equivalent to grasping the financial and economic lifeline of the entire Huameng.

It's a beautiful idea!

Li Ba snorted coldly in his heart and looked at the head of the Sun family. Pi Xiaorou didn't smile and said: "Silver is needed to issue currency, as long as Dragon City can transport grain over." As many as there are, I will accept as many dragon coins as I am! ”

It seems that he did not refuse. But it is actually equivalent to refusal. Not to mention how much grain there is in Longcheng, just by blocking the death radiation belt from the north and south, as well as sandstorms, it is too difficult to transport grain from Longcheng to Huameng, and it is simply not feasible.

Li Ba is reasonable. For a while, Sun Chuanzong was speechless to refute, and muttered: "If you say so, Huameng's annexation is just a change of brand, and we don't have any benefit!" ”

"The benefits are huge!"

Li Ba said: "First of all, the resources of our two places can be shared, Huameng's specialties are sold to Longcheng, and Longcheng's goods can also be sold to Huameng...... Of course, there will be some difficulties in transportation, but as long as everyone works together, there is still a way! ”

"Resource sharing! Li Ba, don't say it nicely, if you are sincere, you can take out the cultivation method of the talisman tree man! Lu Shan said with a sneer.

Li Ba rolled his eyes and said, "You're anxious again." ”

Lu Shan was choked by his words, and was about to refute, but was stopped by Shangguan Bo.

"Brother Li, do you have any other conditions?" Shangguan Bo asked slowly.

"That's pretty much it!"

Li Ba also said some requirements for the exchange of trade personnel between the two places. After that, he looked at Shangguan Bo, waiting for this person to propose the conditions of Dragon City.

Both sides have their own needs, it is impossible for him to have conditions, and there is no one on the side of Dragon City.

Shangguan Bo nodded. His eyes moved away from Li Ba and looked at the others. Later, in Li Ba's eyes, the seven council members' lips moved slightly, as if they were discussing something.

Li Ba knew that they were using an ancient martial arts skill to talk secretly.

It's only five minutes.

Seven members of the Board of Governors, who seem to be in agreement. It was Shangguan Bo who set their conditions.

"There is no problem with the complete autonomy of the Huameng, but first and foremost, the combat forces of the Huameng have the responsibility to cooperate with our Dragon City to resist the threat from the border!" Shangguan Bo put forward the first condition.

"Yes!"

Li Ba agreed without thinking about it, "As long as Dragon City needs it, our Huameng can dispatch five legions and 500,000 combatants to assist in the defense at any time...... But to be clear, we only obey the battle plan, the specific command is held by our people, and the supply of materials needs to be equipped by Dragon City! ”

"No problem!" Shangguan Bo is still very satisfied with Li Ba's statement.

Next, there's the resource sharing aspect. Shangguan Bo opened his mouth this time, and even asked Li Ba to build more than a dozen sets of talisman molds for Longcheng, including the mold of the Qingying battleship. There is also the cultivation method of the Five Elements Tree Man. and the provision of various elixirs.

Of course, they didn't ask for it in vain. The seven major families have also come up with their own specialized technologies. For example, the Shangguan family's airships and large-scale war weapons and equipment, the Lu family's prismatic sword production method, the Ning family's mecha technology, and so on.

These are not of great interest to Li Ba. In his opinion, no matter how powerful the high-tech weapon is, it is still far inferior to his talisman.

"Everyone, do you know how much jade is needed to create a set of the most ordinary talisman molds?" Li Ba didn't say yes, nor did he refuse, first asked a rhetorical question, and then reported a terrifying number.

"So much?" The seven council members all looked at each other after hearing this.

From Li Ba's previous words, there is also the recent purchase of jade in Dragon City. They have been convinced that the key material for building the talisman is jade. It's just that I didn't expect that the jade materials required for a set of talisman molds are so huge.

Of course, Li Ba has exaggerated, let these people retreat in difficulty, don't have excessive ideas.

"Don't talk about it!" Lu Shan was a little unconvinced.

Li Ba didn't say a word, turned over and took out a piece of jade essence and threw it to him, and said, "Brother Lu doesn't believe it, see for yourself how different this piece of jade is!" ”

Lu Shan took this seemingly ordinary piece of jade, his fist was a little bigger, and it was heavy in his hand. Then, he exerted force with his five fingers, gradually increasing it, until he exerted all his strength, but the jade in his hand did not move at all.

Lu Shan was shocked. You must know that he is an out-and-out eighth-level peak evolutionary, and with all his strength, steel can be easily kneaded into dough. As you can imagine, this piece of jade is hard.

"This is the jade spirit! It takes a ton of jade to refine such a little! Li Ba did not forget to introduce it.

After inspecting the jade essence, the others were all shocked.

"Refining molds consumes so much material, how can you build those Qingying battleships of the Huameng?" None of you are stupid. Questions were raised.

In this regard, Li Ba explained it very well. The assembly line of the Qing Ying Battleship is not completely made of talisman molds made of jade spirits, and it involves a lot of manual work. It is not easy to cultivate talents in this area, so Dragon City also has this idea.

Ordinary talisman molds, one attack and one defense, Li Ba promised to build two sets for Dragon City. Others, including the Qing Ying Battleship and other talismans, can be provided by Huameng if Dragon City needs it. The way of trading is simple, barter.

As for the cultivation method of the Five Elements Tree Man, this is the top secret of Huameng, and Li Ba said that it is absolutely impossible to spread it. However, he can cultivate for Dragon City at the lowest cost price, how much he needs and how much he supplies.

There is no problem with the elixir variety. However, the major families in Dragon City also had to come up with their unique elixir in exchange.

After some haggling. The two sides finally reached an agreement. Li Ba backed down. Similarly, the seven council members who control Dragon City have also made compromises.

"Brother Li, when will the Qingying Battleship you promised us be delivered!" Huang Fujie asked with a smile.

Seven families, each with three Blue Immortal warships. This is the promise given by Li Ba. Of course, he didn't give it for nothing, the other party had to take out a huge number of jade crystal nuclei in exchange.

Li Ba smiled and said nothing. looked at Shangguanbo, and the meaning was obvious.

"The auction will be canceled in three days, and early tomorrow morning, I will send someone to send the Psychic Ancient Jade to the house!" Shangguan Bo said with a smile.

The Seven Families agreed. They withdrew from the auction, and the other family forces in Dragon City could not bring any pressure to the Shangguan family at all. Therefore, the fifth psychic ancient jade can be obtained without going through bidding.

Li Ba was in a happy mood and gave a reply. The first batch of five Blue Immortal Battleships will be delivered tomorrow evening. The rest needs to wait for him to return to Huameng, and it will not take more than a month before and after.

From the short film to the tremendous power of the Blue Battleship, the seven council members were very happy to learn that they would be able to see the real thing tomorrow. As for the specific matters of the Huameng's annexation, they will send a special person to contact Li Ba's side, and they are not in a hurry.

Negotiations concluded. Everyone takes what he needs, and everyone rejoices. Including Lu Shan and Sun Chuanzong, they also began to show great enthusiasm for Li Ba. At the end of the meeting, he was invited to have two drinks.

How could Li Ba have time to entertain these two guys, and he was about to open his mouth to refuse. Shangguan Bo's words came.

"You can go first, my sister-in-law and I still have some personal matters to discuss with Brother Li!"

As soon as these words came out, a wry smile suddenly appeared on Li Ba's face. As for Yuan Danqing and the others, they naturally heard of the entanglement between this and the eldest lady of the official family, and they were very interested in saying goodbye and leaving.

When Li Ba sat down again, he had long since lost his previous determination and calmness, and his heart was uneasy. (To be continued.) )
