Chapter 25 Negotiations

"Lord, what now?" In the distant magic airship, Evita stared at Xu Yi and asked eagerly. "If Akali remains in their hands, I'...... I'm worried. ”

"What, don't you think I'm afraid of the Duchess of Windsor, so I have to retreat?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.

"Grown, it's time for you, don't joke with me, okay?" Evita glared at Xu Yi cautiously. "I don't know who you are? ”

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Okay, no kidding. That's right, it's impossible to leave Akali and the others alone, and if it gets out, I, the president, won't be able to do it. Well...... It's not that I'm afraid of the Duchess of Windsor, but judging from what the Earl of Dole said just now, I'm afraid that he now thinks that he has someone to back him up and won't accept my threat. If he is forced too quickly, it may not be good for Akali and them. ”

"What then?" said Evita, frowning. "This Earl of Dole is soft and hard, how can we save people from his hands?"

"Don't worry. The reason why Count Dole arrested Akali and them was, of course, to negotiate terms with me. Otherwise, there is no point in him doing so. He wouldn't do anything to Akali until the terms were agreed, so we still had plenty of time to think about how to deal with them. ”

Xu Yiwei groaned slightly, took a piece of paper, wrote a paragraph on it, and then folded it, the magic power in his body surged, and after a while, he carved a magic sealing circle on the opening of the folded paper.

There are two blessings of this magic sealing circle. Except for a magician who knows how to open the seal. If someone else opens it without permission. The Magic Seal will automatically activate to destroy the paper.

Xu also handed the sealed piece of paper to Evita.

"Take this to Camila Magister and tell him about the situation here. In the meantime, you go back and talk to Kennard and ask him to arrange some follow-up work. You just have to sue him, and this time, I need to give some guys a deep warning, and the rest is left alone. See what I mean?"

Evita took the letter and put it in her pocket, nodded and said, "Understood." But won't you go back, Lord?"

"I'm not going back. Count Dole is not a patient fellow. So we don't have a lot of time left, so I have to hurry up and prepare a countermeasure. ”

After saying this, Xu Yi smiled again, patted Evita's shoulder gently, and said softly: "Evita, you really don't need to worry. Although Count Dole unexpectedly invited a helper from the Candela Empire this time, this helper may be almost equivalent to an invincible shield to him, but in my eyes, it is nothing at all. Do you believe me?"

Evita bit her lip and nodded vigorously.

"Yes! I will always believe in you. It's the same with Akali!"

"That's good. Just in case, you take three magic airships back. I wait for your good news. Xu Yi smiled slightly. "Of course, maybe by the time you come here again, Akali will have been rescued by me. ”

Evita nodded and quickly stood up.

"Without further ado, Elder, let's get moving. ”

"Good. ”

Moments later, three magic airships carrying Evita and one hundred and fifty escorts returned to the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, while the remaining seven magic airships turned southwest and landed on a hill about thirty kilometers west of Count Dole's private estate.

The night passed.

The next morning, when the sun was just shining all the way from the eastern horizon, mapping the road in front of the gate of the Count of Dole's private estate into an orange yellow, Xu Yi appeared in front of the gate.

The personal guards of the two Earls of Dole, who were in charge of guarding the gate of the private manor, looked at Xu Yi in amazement, immediately recognized him, and hurriedly greeted him with a nervous expression.

Seeing that the two personal guards were clenching the weapons in their hands, but they didn't know whether to point at Xu Yi or not, Xu Yi smiled slightly, nodded to one of them, and said, "Go and inform Count Dole, and tell him that Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, is here, if it is convenient for him, I hope we can sit down and have a good talk." ”

The two personal guards glanced at each other, and the personal guard who was staring at Xu Yi hesitated slightly, nodded, and turned around and ran towards the manor.

Looking at the appearance of him running all the way to the gate, Xu Yi sighed and shook his head slightly.

If it weren't for Count Dole's opposition to the establishment of a magical communication network, this personal guard would have only needed to use the intercom at the door of Guò to notify Count Dole in the manor, where would it be so troublesome to run in and notify him in person.

Xu Yi glanced at the other personal guard, and found that he was nervous, so he smiled at him, turned his head to look at the gate of the manor, and stood in place, not making any movement.

He wasn't worried that Count Dole would refuse to meet with him, because, as he had analyzed to Evita yesterday, Count Dole wasn't a madman or a complete fool, and if it weren't for other motives, he wouldn't have been guilty of suddenly kidnapping Akali and a member of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

He knew very well what the consequences of doing this would be, even if he had strong reinforcements from the Candela Empire to support him now, it would not do him any good to offend the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in this way.

Sure enough, about ten minutes later, a battered carriage slowly drove out of the manor with the departing personal guard.

"President Xu, Lord Earl let you in. The personal guard relayed Count Dole's order as he looked at Xu Yi curiously.

President Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a very legendary figure in the minds of everyone in the entire Principality of Stantin, and now he is fortunate enough to see it with his own eyes, of course, he has to take two more looks.

Xu Yi glanced at the car in front of him, except for two wooden wheels and one that was so tattered that there were even countless cracks, it looked as if it was going to collapse at any time, not to mention any gorgeous decorations, not even a sunshade roof, and even the horses pulling the carriage were a batch of inferior old horses, and couldn't help but smile.

This Count of Dole. It's a shame that he was able to find such a carriage. It's really hard for him.

But this guy is stingy to the point. However, Xu Yi was very worried about whether the negotiations with him would be a little unexpected for a while.

"Let's go. ”

Xu Yi calmly sat in the carriage, and did not enter the carriage, but sat on the wheel, sitting next to the personal guard who was in charge of operating the carriage, looking casual, as if he was an ordinary civilian.

The personal guard glanced at Xu Yi a little nervously, and then remembered Count Dole's order and raised his whip. Maneuvering the carriage towards the interior of the manor.

After more than ten minutes of bumpy journey, Xu Yicai saw a continuous building in front of the cement road.

Glancing back at the gate of the manor that had disappeared from sight, Xu Yi frowned slightly.

Although his policy of abolishing the private fiefdoms of the nobility in the Duchy of Stantin had been effective, there was now no private fiefdom of the exclusive nobility in the whole Duchy of Stantin.

But these noble lords undoubtedly did a lot of deductions when they handed over their private domains.

Take, for example, the private estate of the Count of Dole.

The policy pursued by the Principality of Constantine was that the noble lords could retain their private estates while surrendering their private domains, as they were ordinary private property and were not subject to this policy.

As a result, it is obvious that the Earl of Dole has expanded his private estate by at least ten times the size of his private estate when he surrenders his private domain, which is why this private estate has become so wide.

There are quite a few noble lords who have done this like Count Dole, but this increase is countless times worse than their private domain. Therefore, Xu Yi did not do so desperately, acquiescing to the storage of these excessively large private estates. It was a little compromise he had reached with these noble lords.

While thinking about these questions, the carriage had already carried Xu Yi to the building.

Xu Yi jumped down from the wheel, rubbed his buttocks, which were a little painful from the bumps of the carriage along the way, and walked directly to the hall in the middle without saying hello to anyone.

On the way, several guards seemed to stretch out their hands to stop them, but Xu Yi walked in front of them with his head held high, but they didn't do anything to stop them in the end, and let Xu Yi walk in so smoothly.

Walking into the hall, I saw Count Dole lying on a wide soft armchair, smirking without any image, and I didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly seeing Xu Yi walk in, Count Dole was startled, couldn't help jumping up from the chair, pointed at Xu Yi and shouted, "How did you get in?"

Xu Yiyin smiled: "Hasn't it already been passed on?"

Count Dole was stunned, then reacted, and suddenly found that his reaction just now seemed to be a bit embarrassing, so he glared viciously at the two personal guards who followed Xu Yi in.

"How did you open the door? Just let people in? Do you want to mess around here?"

The two personal guards kept their heads down, not daring to make any rebuttals.

"Alright, get out of here......" After Count Dole was angry at them, he shook his hand, as if he wanted them to get out, and after hesitating for a moment, he took the sentence back again, snorted coldly, and sat down again.

Xu Yi saw that his eyes turned and smiled, "Count Dole, where is the Duchess now?"

Count Dole glanced at Xu Yi and said disdainfully, "What do you think you are?"

Xu Yi shrugged, unmoved by Count Dole's words, nodded, and continued: "Count Dole, can you call the shots here?"

"Nonsense! I'm the master here, I can't be the master, who can?" said Count Dole angrily.

"Really?" Xu Yi smiled mockingly. "Alright then, Count Dole, let's not waste time and get down to business. After a day of consideration, I still can't give up these subordinates of the Chamber of Commerce, so I came to visit today in the hope of being able to talk to you. Sue me, Count Dole, what am I going to do before you will release them?"

Count Dole looked like he had long known that you would do this, and laughed and said, "President Xu, President Xu, if you were able to be so smart yesterday, how could your subordinates suffer for one more day in vain." What do you think they'll think they'll think they'll know that you, the president, turned around and fled?"

Xu Yi was still unmoved, and responded indifferently: "What they think is their business." All I want to know now is how you will release them?"

Count Dole snorted coldly, leaned back in the soft chair, and looked at Xu Yi with a smug expression.

"How can I release them? It's very simple, as long as you agree to my terms, I promise to release them as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, tell me your terms. ”

"Listen up. First, give me back the private territory that should have belonged to me. Second ......"

"No way. ”

Xu Yi coldly interrupted Count Dole's words. (To be continued......)
