Chapter 364: Negotiation Tips
Lin Qiu thought that this was a perfect raid, both in terms of time and accident - except that the people in the cabin were not Duolun, this plan had no other mission shortcomings. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The silver blade scattered and reflected a ray of cold light, and the figure in the room reacted almost as soon as Lin Qiu broke through the door. For a moment, the candles in the room flickered, and the sound of swords crashing seemed to tear through the silent night sky. Without waiting for Lin Qiu to show his intentions, the arc of the blade turned, sparks splashed, and the blade also slashed towards Lin Qiu.
"Bar boy, I knew you weren't any ordinary person!" Julius' voice was indescribably excited, and the fleeting confrontation made him know that he hadn't been in ambush in vain this house where birds don't this night. In the huge kingdom of Talen, there are definitely no more than five people who can react to the speed of his attack and fight back.
"Wait a minute, this is a misunderstanding!"
"Don't try to explain!"
Lin Qiu didn't know why Julius was desperately attacking him like a chicken's blood, but when he actually fought him, he was shocked to find that without using the marking and scoring power, the swordsman of this small country was actually on par with him in speed and strength.
Could it really be that someone would fight for 20 gold coins?
Lin Qiu muttered in his heart, but he was unambiguous in his hand, and raised his sword to fight back. The two had similar swordsmanship, and each of Julius's swords was more freewheeling. In the mouth of the swordsmanship masters of the imperial capital, this kind of 'freewheeling' is often called Yeluzi, because it does not have a deliberate move, but a skill that is comprehended between life and death.
"Looks like you've learned a lot from hunting the Forest King. Lin Qiu also simply dismissed the plan to use the marking and scoring power to "cheat", and took this opportunity to test the results of Liya's two major conscriptions.
Not to be outdone, Julius immediately left a neat cut in the reach of his blade. At first it was wooden furniture, but soon the whole cabin was embroiled in a battle of swordsmanship between the two, and silver flashed and the eaves slid sideways, only to be reduced to countless debris when they fell halfway.
"Thanks to you. Tsk, when you were in the hotel, it wasn't a delusion, that monster was really a good thing you did, right? Who the hell are you?"
"Just a kind person passing by. ”
The battle of pure swordsmanship did not cause an overly spectacular visual impact, but the kingdom army that immediately rushed up from the forest when they heard the sound was still shocked by the fragmented wooden houses in front of them and the few branches around them that were cut by the silver arc. Although Julius was one of the four captains, they had never seen him attack with all his might - they could only infer the captain's strength from the scenes where the monsters that were usually classified as dangerous were killed by the captain with one blow.
"Well-wishers don't go into someone's house in the middle of the night. Yurius was a little out of breath, and he tried to keep his composure, but his detached hand made him feel a sense of crisis. And more importantly, he heard a slight thud at the edge of his blade.
Where the hell did this guy come out of nowhere?
Julius felt a chill in his heart. The kid who smiling and swindling the gold coins from the drunks in the royal bar turned out to be such an amazing swordsman. Even more remarkable was the knight's sword in his hand, which he had asked the craftsmen of the royal capital to make for him with the best cold iron, and cracks appeared in a few rounds.
Lin Qiu had obviously also heard the almost inaudible movement on the opponent's blade, and in the battle with full concentration, no movement could escape his ears. The corners of his mouth curled, and he was sincerely happy for Ria at the thought that there were three guards of this level.
It seems that the current kingdom of Tarun is no longer the poor country that was darkened by a chief guard.
"If you want to win, I'd better change to a better weapon as soon as possible. ”
"Ding-"
The first thing he couldn't hold on to was not Julius's physical strength, but the long knife in his hand that cost him a month. The tiny cracks on the blade quickly spread under Lin Qiu's targeted slash, and with a slight force on his wrist, the long knife in Julius' hand shattered into several pieces in an instant.
"Captain...... Defeated?"
The kingdom army became even more nervous, gritting their teeth and clenching their swords - this was at stake for the peace of the kingdom of Talen, and as the guardians of the kingdom, they could not back down here. Even if the strength of the opponent is unfathomable!
"Wait a minute, we're ......" Lilith saw that the battle between the two could not end in Lin Qiu's complete victory, so she poked her head out of the ruins in a disgraced face, trying to explain to the stern soldiers that she and Lin Qiu had no ill intentions. However, before she could speak, Lin Qiu's actions stunned her - she saw Lin Qiu holding a sword on Julius's neck, like a villain who had succeeded in his conspiracy: "Ho ho ho ho." ”
It was the standard villainous laugh he learned from Ravenhall: "Your captain has been subdued by me, if you want him to live, do as I say!"
Feed!
It's not in the plan to be the enemy of the entire kingdom army!
Lilith babbled for a long time without uttering a complete sentence, and what she saw reminded her of Lin Qiu's potential as a terrorist again.
"Say, what are you doing here in ambush without sleeping in the middle of the night?" Lin Qiu asked the Kingdom Army. Duolun, this boiled duck flew, and he couldn't get into a fight with a certain captain of the Kingdom Army and return empty-handed—"Are you holding a 'barbecue party' or something like this?"
The hell is it that a barbecue party is going to be held in such a place!
"You bastard is really with those gray-robed people!" The kingdom army was furious, they lay in ambush for days, and finally one of the gray-robed people fell into the net...... However, their careful planning was a bad move, and they never expected that Captain Julius, who was the ace, would lose.
Just when the morale of the Kingdom Army plummeted, a tall and thin man walked out of the ranks. He clamped a girl in a red robe with one hand, and the girl glared at the tall and thin man who had hurt him with resentment, and her eyes almost burst into flames: "I really don't want to take a backup plan...... Outlaws over there, we also have your hostages on our side. ”
"Oh—it's Captain Salfin!" cheered from among the soldiers.
The tall, lanky man known to the soldiers as Salfin did not squint, and the fact that a captain had fallen into the disadvantage of the enemy did not make him waver, and his tone was calm, as if it were an inconsequential negotiation: "Although the guy you caught hardly attends the important meetings of the Kingdom Army, there is a lot of criticism from the army about his recent behavior...... In addition, it is really disgraceful for the kingdom army to be easily captured by the enemy, but he was still one of the four captains before Empress Ria removed him from his position, so even if I am reluctant, I have to admit that your goal has been achieved - this little girl, just exchange it for the useless captain......"
Salfin has always believed that the point of negotiation is not the tone, but the bargaining chips in the hands of both sides - "It is not only the Kingdom Army that is choked by the throat. ”
No, you're the only ones who have been choked by the throat.
Lin Qiu's hand holding the sword trembled, and his expression was inevitably embarrassed: "Who is this little girl?"
