Chapter 272: Behind the Negotiation
On the evening of the day when Li Mengxi was entrusted with the negotiation, Valen received a positive reply, and the time was set for the next morning, and the place was set at the office of the president of the Eastern District Yan Shan Pavilion in the neutral area, and Li Mengxi would attend as a witness.

Valen was very happy about this. Peaceful negotiation is the ideal solution in his mind. That night, he thought about it a lot, even in his sleep, thinking about how to speak.
Then, the next day, he appeared at the agreed time at the border between the Northern and Eastern Regions to go to the place where he was going to negotiate. Of course, he told the guild leaders of the rebels about this, and even if he didn't say it, they should have heard the rumors that spread so quickly.
But in the end, it was only the members of Cats in Boots who came to see them off.
Those guys aren't so worried about me? I guess they're thinking that I'd better do something with the leader, and then just take the opportunity to storm or something.
At this time, Valen's mind was full of this, and he ignored the shouting and warmth of the Puss in Boots members.
Until one of the girls yelled, "Hey, are you listening?"
Valen came to his senses.
"Ahh
"Really, I say, this negotiation can't be a trap to use against you!"
"Hey, why do you think that?"
"Because, compared to you, the Crimson Demon Lord is definitely closer to that Williams Alphonse!" said the girl, and the other two teenagers and a girl beside her nodded approvingly.
"This one maybe. But even then, they couldn't have teamed up to design me! I don't know Mr. Williams Alphonse, but Mengxi definitely won't! He's my friend, and I trust him!"
With that said this firmly, Valen smiled again.
"Besides, if he had any plans to deal with me, wouldn't he have done it yesterday? And he doesn't need any traps, right? After all, he's so strong. ”
"That's right, but you have to be careful!"
"Yes! So, I'm leaving!" announced loudly, and Valen took a big stride towards the Eastern District.
At the same time, Williams Alphonse also led Lilulua from the Central District to the Eastern District. Everywhere they walked, the people on the street couldn't help but cast their eyes. And what is contained in the eyes is obviously expectation.
Noticing this, Lilulua interrupted Williams' small talk with herself and asked, "Lord Williams, this matter will be resolved peacefully." ”
Hearing this, Williams smiled and nodded.
"Well, I promise it will be resolved peacefully. Sorry Lilulua, though, that wasn't right now. ”
"What do you mean?" asked Lilulua, a little puzzled and disappointed.
And Williams patiently explained.
"Lilulua, what kind of settlement do you mean by a peaceful settlement, what do you want this to do?"
"That ......," Lilulua shook her head after a moment's thought, "I don't know. ”
"Yes. Then listen to me, if this matter is only to make the relationship between the nobles and the nobles, and the nobles and commoners change back to the way they were, maybe it can be solved now. But is that really good? Can it actually be done?"
"I don't know if I can do it, I can't do it. However, I don't like to go back to the way things were. ”
"Why?"
"Because, that's the world where my sister was killed. ”
Hearing this, Williams was stunned for a moment, and a sad look flashed on his face.
"Me too. And Li Mengxi and the eldest brother are too. So, this matter cannot end today. Today is just a foreshadowing for the next time. ”
"Will this war continue?"
"No, the war will stop. ”
"Yes, that's wonderful!" said Lilulua happily. Seeing her smiling face, Williams also laughed happily.
Almost an hour later, Williams's side arrived at the Pavilion first. Lilulua stayed down to chat with Lorofi and Naon Hinata, while Williams himself went straight to the office to prepare.
It didn't take long for Varun Ashtanin to arrive, and under the guidance of the clerk, he also came to the office where the negotiations were located, and then was introduced by Li Mengxi.
"Williams is the leader of the Resistance, my friend Valen Ashtenin. Pulling me to the coffee table, Li Mengxi introduced with a smile.
Williams stood up and held out his right hand.
"Fortunately, I am the High Lord of the Garrison, Williams Alphonse. ”
Seeing this, Valen immediately stretched out his hand and shook it.
"That's a good thing. Actually, I'm not very remarkable. This leader is nothing more than ......"
Not good!
Shocked in his heart, Valen restrained the polite words in time. He is now negotiating, how can he say such a thing as "the leader is just a name"!
If you can't make decisions yourself, why talk to others?
However, just because he doesn't say it doesn't mean that the other party doesn't know.
"Leaders are just in name. Are you trying to say that?" Williams laughed.
"Hey!" Valen was instantly shocked, and immediately looked at Li Mengxi.
So, the latter smiled and said.
"I'm sorry, that's what I said. ”
"Why!"
"Because it's not really a negotiation. Li Mengxi's smile became meaningful.
At this moment, Valen couldn't help but think of his companion's assumptions not long ago. Fear came out of his heart, not the horror of the trap, but the horror of being betrayed by a friend.
Feeling this feeling of horror that made his chest feel sick, Valen couldn't help but take two steps back with trepidation.
Seeing him like this, Li Mengxi quickly realized his mental state, so he hurriedly defended: "No! No! Although it is not a negotiation, it is not a trap!"
"Hey!"
Valen was stunned for a moment, and the previous fear immediately subsided. He still wanted to believe Li Mengxi in his heart, so he simply believed his words. However, there is another problem with this.
"It's not a negotiation, it's not a trap, what's that. ”
"The temptation to pull you as an accomplice. ”
"Accomplice, persuasion?" said Valen, who looked uncertain.
"Anyway, let's sit down first. Li Mengxi patted the sofa. So Valen sat down in the midst of his voice.
"First of all, I want to make it clear in advance. Li Mengxi said as he walked to the coffee table and stood firm, "I really think you are a friend, so I will take advantage of this opportunity that everyone thinks you are here to negotiate with Williams to tell you everything." Regardless of whether this statement is good or not, for a game, there must always be a leader and a manipulator, that is, a chess piece and a chess player. I want you to be a chess player, not a pawn. ”
Hearing Li Mengxi say this very seriously, Valen also showed a rare serious expression.
