Chapter 51: Negotiations
The competition began, and there was still more than an hour left.
Zhang Mu suddenly received an email from Huang Tian, and the dragon soul invited Zhang Mu to drink together on the grounds that he occasionally had good wine, and discussed some things by the way.
Wine, of course, is an excuse.
What does Huang Tian think, how could Zhang Mu not know?
It is nothing more than to let Zhang Mu raise his noble hand and let his precious grandson go at the competition.
The relationship between the Dragon Soul mercenaries and the Huangquan mercenaries is not good or bad, and most people have always been careful and will not deliberately make enemies with Huangquan. Zhang Mu was also polite to the dragon soul, and the two sides maintained a tacit understanding, far from the point of tearing their faces. Because they knew in each other's hearts that the strength of Huangquan and Dragon Soul was almost the same, it was impossible to say which was stronger or weaker, if a serious conflict really broke out, it would evolve into a battle between mercenary groups. For the Yellow Spring, for the Dragon Soul, and for the Dawning Camp, it is all a disaster!
The result of the desperate fight is nothing more than two, either they will die together and cease to exist with each other, or they will lose both and become second-rate shili, no matter whether they win or lose, there is no benefit. The two mercenary groups have gathered most of the elites of the Dawning Camp, and if they die in the infighting, it will deal a very serious blow to the human Shili in the Dawning Camp.
The head of the Dragon Soul personally sent out an invitation, and it was always not good to refuse.
Zhang Mu didn't have anything else to do, so he went to see what Huang Tian said, said hello to Lei Ming at the moment, and walked towards the Dragon Soul's residence. In front of the Dragon Soul Core Residence, a tall man in charge of answering waited for a long time. This person's steps are very powerful and steady, and the spacing of each step and the swing of his arms are almost identical, reflecting the rigid character characteristics of the side.
"My name is Ao Guangqing, our head has been waiting for a long time, please come in!"
This person is in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance, decent words and deeds, no characteristics, living like a robot, and his expression is too serious, giving people a dull and fickle feeling. Only in the army will such people appear.
Ao Guangqing, it's an acquaintance!
Zhang Mu's eyes fell on the metal fist gauntlet equipped on the opponent's fist, and he secretly said in his heart: "The strongest fighter of the Dragon Soul is also the strongest fighter in the camp, I don't know who will be more powerful than the mourning dog." ”
Ao Guangqing didn't like to talk, so he opened the gate and walked into the courtyard. Huang Tian sat at the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, along with his son Huang Jianye, and behind the two stood a man in a mage's robe. Ao Guangqing walked behind Huang Tian and stood side by side with the male mage, silent like a sculpture.
Huang Tian and his son immediately got up, and Huang Jianye said with enthusiasm on his face: "Thank you for coming, please sit down." As he spoke, he introduced the two people behind him: "This fighter is called Ao Guangqing, and this element is called Zhao Qianlin, both of them are in the army, and their current strength is not under Dong Zhan, and they are the pillars of the dragon soul." ”
Zhao Qianlin was about the same as he remembered, tall and thin, in his forties, with a small tuft of beard.
Zhang Mu nodded: "Fortunately!" ”
"You're welcome!"
Huang Jianye personally poured wine for Zhang Mu: "Actually, I invited you here, on the one hand, to taste wine, and on the other hand, to resolve unnecessary grievances. ”
Huang Tian didn't wait for Huang Jianye to elaborate at all, and said straight to the point: "In today's competitive match, please don't target Akai!" ”
Zhang Mu showed a puzzled look: "What do you mean?" I didn't get it! ”
Huang Tian flashed with displeasure, and his slightly cloudy old eyes burst out with an arrow-like gaze: "Yesterday's practice was a bit too much. Akai set up his own door, but in the final analysis, he is the person of the dragon soul, and if you insult him in public, you are insulting the dragon soul in disguise. You should understand the consequences of a fight between the two families! ”
Zhang Mu said very helplessly: "The old man is serious, I didn't insult him, there are winners and losers in the competition." Huang Kai's skills are not as good as others, do you want him to win? ”
"You ......"
Huang Tian couldn't help but get angry when he saw Zhang Mu pretending to be stupid, and he was about to shoot the case.
Huang Jianye knew that Zhang Mu didn't eat soft and hard, his attitude was too tough, but he didn't ask for benefits, so he immediately stopped Huang Tian and said in a good voice: "Akai is not right first, which led to yesterday's incident." Therefore, the dragon soul did not intervene strongly afterwards, of course, it did not mean to blame you. But when is the time for retribution? Now that your anger has been relieved and Akai has been taught a lesson, there is no need to continue to expand the contradictions. This matter ends here, sell the dragon soul to save face, what do you think? ”
Huang Jianye said that when it comes to this, of course, he can't pretend to be stupid.
"Actually, I'm good-tempered. It's just that Huang Kai has repeatedly provoked me in public, and he has also ruined Huangquan's reputation behind his back. Its arrogance is extremely arrogant, has the dragon soul been in charge? I just responded to Huang Kai's strong desire, so I just fought with him. And if you father and son say it, I will do it honestly? The face of the dragon soul is really precious, is Huangquan's face worthless? ”
Huang Jianye said: "We didn't mean that. ”
Huang Tian said, "What do you want?" Do you have to make a fuss? ”
"That's it, unless two conditions can be met!" Zhang Mu said leisurely: "First, face to face!" Second, material compensation! Let Huang Kai face me daoqian, and compensate Huang Quan for 3,000 gold coins, and the matter will not be pursued! ”
Huang Jianye's face twitched slightly, "It's too ruthless." ”
"I don't care, I just say the request, the choice is yours." Zhang Mu stood up, "This wine is really tasteless, shouldn't you have mixed it with water?" Don't drink it, say goodbye! ”
Three thousand gold coins is not too much.
The dragon soul can definitely take it.
Huang Tian has a tough and domineering personality, if he is replaced by other mercenary groups or others, I am afraid that he will be killed directly in the wild, where is there so much nonsense? This time, he put down his body and asked Zhang Mu to reconcile, which is already very face-saving, how can he continue to make concessions?
As for making Huang Kai daoqian, forget it, with his character, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Zhang Mu is equivalent to making his attitude clear, he has to beat Huang Kai a few more times!
As for whether the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group and the Huangquan Mercenary Group will turn their faces?
Zhang Mu is not worried, Huang Jianye is a shrewd person, and there is no contradiction between the two sides related to their core interests for the time being. Huang Kai alone is not enough to cause the two sides to tear their faces, and abuse Huang Kai in the arena every day, and the people of the dragon soul have no choice.
"Slow!" Huang Tian's old body stood up slowly, and said in a hoarse voice: "I can meet your requirements!" Please make sure you don't bother Akai again. ”
"I can't guarantee that." Zhang Mu shook his head and said, "I don't like to look for trouble, every time trouble finds me!" ”
Huang Tian instructed Zhao Qianlin: "Qianlin, let Akai come out." ”
Huang Jianye cast a puzzled look at Huang Tian, the old man has been tough and domineering all his life, and he will compromise with Zhang Mu today?
Huang Tian seemed to see his son's doubts, and sighed softly: "Akai has been taught repeatedly, how can such a character survive in troubled times, he is my only grandson!" ”
Zhang Mu was impressed by Huang Tian.
Zhang Mu had the impression that Huang Tian was a domineering and cruel old warlord at all, and all shili who couldn't get along with the dragon soul or had a conflict of interest were almost uprooted, and the methods were extremely tough. Such an old man who never wanted to suffer a loss, but bowed his head to Zhang Mu for his grandson.
Huang Kai was brought out.
In just one day, Huang Kai was a lot haggard, with black circles, bloodshot eyes, dull eyes, a blank expression, and a depressed look.
It can be seen that the blow is huge!
When Huang Tian saw his decadent appearance, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and without saying a word, he stepped up, "Smack!" First slapped Huang Kai in the face. The slap was very heavy, Huang Kai was fanned out, fell heavily to the ground, blood flowed in his mouth, and several teeth were spit out.
Huang Tian picked up Huang Kai and shouted loudly: "Are you a man!" ”
Huang Kai did not speak.
Huang Kai directly punched his grandson and almost knocked out his grandson's teeth.
Huang Jianye was a little unbearable: "Dad, stop fighting, forget it." ”
Huang Tian's eyes were red, and Huang Kai roared at the ground, "You think you're still a man, stand up for me!" Otherwise, I will die, and I will be without you as a grandson!" ”
Huang Kai spit out a few mouthfuls of broken teeth and slowly stood up, his whole face was swollen, but his eyes were not as scattered and confused as just now.
Huang Tian turned his head away from him, and said coldly: "You know how to do it!" ”
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
Huang Kai walked up to Zhang Mu and slowly lowered his head.
Zhang Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Huang Kai, whose face was swollen like a pig's head and had a nosebleed for a few seconds, then suddenly sighed, patted him on the shoulder, did not speak, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Huang Jianye shouted: "One day at the latest, I will have someone send the money." ”
"Whatever, it doesn't matter anyway."
Zhang Mu raised his hand and walked out of the courtyard.
"Son! Son! ”
A beautiful woman hurried over, it was Dong Yuanyuan, Huang Kai's mother, followed by Dong Zhan, who was a canned iron.
Dong Zhan recognized Zhang Mu, who had just left: "Why is the head of Huangquan here?" ”
"Akai, you ...... What's wrong with Akai! Yes! Which one will be hit by a thousand cuts! I'm fighting with you! ”
Dong Yuanyuan's grief voice sounded from the courtyard.
Huang Kai's nose was bleeding and tearful, from childhood to adulthood, his parents, grandfather and other relatives never really beat him. Since he was a child, Huang Kai has never suffered such grievances and shame. He didn't hate his grandfather, and he didn't even hate Zhang Mu as much as he used to.
A slap and a punch from Huang Tian woke up the confused Huang Kai and made him start to re-examine himself.
"Mom, from today onwards, you don't care about me anymore!"
"What are you talking about!"
Huang Kai wiped off the nosebleeds on his face, turned around and saluted Huang Tian, "Grandpa, I will pay you back a lot of money!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Dong Yuanyuan cried out: "What the hell have you done, Akai doesn't recognize me!" ”
Huang Tian's tiger eyes showed a look of relief, "No, this time, Akai is really sensible!" ”
Huang Jianye was also very emotional: "This money buys back a decent son, and it is not unjustly spent!" ”
The tournament soon began.
Zhang Mu also fulfilled his promise and did not trouble Huang Kai in the challenge.
From what happened today, he seems to understand a truth, people always change. In fact, everyone has inner potential, but they are buried by low self-esteem, arrogance, timidity, vanity, and so on. If these barriers are broken, the potential will be fully exploited. Sun Lin is like this, will Huang Kai be next?
Huang Kai has always been a clown who jumps off the beam, and he doesn't deserve to take it to heart at all, but in front of Zhang Mu, he bowed his head and started, and Zhang Mu chose to face him squarely.
If Huang Kai changes for this, of course, it is the best.
One less moth in the camp, one more potential stock.
Ye Qianqiu, Huang Tian, Huang Jianye, Liu Hookah...... These influential figures have their own strengths, only Zhang Mu knows, most people will not live for more than a month, including the core figures of the Huangquan mercenaries, and even Zhang Mu himself.
Less fighting, more positive energy, in order to survive better!
