"Uh, you...... Are you really a saint?" Shangguan Xiu clearly remembered that Zhan Xiong and the others had mentioned that the saint had been in power for fifteen years, and according to his calculations, the saint was at least forty years away, how could she be just a little girl?
"No one is allowed to enter the temple without the permission of the Holy Maiden. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" The woman in white glanced at Shangguan Xiu, took the tray, walked to the stone statue, and temporarily placed it on the table. turned around and found Shangguan Xiu standing behind him, looking at himself with scrutinizing eyes.
She suppressed the disgust in her heart, frowned and asked, "What do you do?"
"It's nothing, I just want to be sure, are you really a saint?" Shangguan Xiu still didn't quite believe her words.
The woman in white had a cold face and asked rhetorically, "Shangguan Xiu, do you think that in the temple, there will be people who dare to pretend to be a saint?"
Shangguan Xiu blinked her eyes and sighed secretly, if this little girl is really a saint, then today's negotiations may not go well. Before he had started a formal negotiation with the saint, he offended the saint first. Thinking of this, he shook his head with a wry smile, took a few steps back, bowed his hand, and said, "Shangguan Xiu greets the Holy Maiden." After speaking, he didn't hear the other party's response for a long time, he raised his head again, looked at the woman in white coldly, and asked curiously, "How old is the saint this year?"
"Is this important?" The temperament of the woman in white makes people feel alienated, and the words she says are completely rejecting people from thousands of miles away. Please use small letters to enter the website: Watch the latest and fastest chapters
"As far as I know, the Holy Maiden of this generation has been reigning for fifteen years. Shangguan Xiu said tentatively.
"When I was three years old, I was chosen as a saint. "The holy daughter of Shenchi is not an inheritance system, but a selection system, and it has been like this for thousands of years.
At the age of three, she was selected as a saint, a huge country of wind, and the saint was just a three-year-old female doll back then, which was too child's play, right?
The woman in white glanced at him, as if she could see his heart, and said, "It seems that in the eyes of Lord Shangguan, I am not worthy of being a saint." ”
Shangguan Xiu smiled, leaned over and said, "I have no right to interfere with the decisions made by the temple. In other words, he really didn't think that the woman in white was worthy of being a saint, but this was a decision made by the temple, and whether he wanted it or not, he had no right to influence it.
The cold little face of the woman in white showed a rare smile, and she said slowly: "Even if the person who is annoying and annoying is annoying, there will be a good side in him after all." In Lord Shangguan, at least he has the advantage of honesty. ”
What a sharp-toothed girl! Shangguan Xiu snorted secretly in anger, and no one had ever commented on him in front of him as an annoying and annoying person, and he was useless to the point that he had only the merit of honesty.
He remained silent, smiled slightly, and arched his hand and said, "The saint is too awarded." ”
What a cheeky nasty. Gave him a glaring look. "I heard that Lord Shangguan injured more than a dozen people in Shenchi yesterday. The woman in white changed her words and asked indifferently.
"Killing people also comes from saving people. Shangguan Xiu roughly recounted the events of last night, and said: "Shenchi took in and shielded the rebels, and now, she has begun to rebel against the rebels, even if the holy woman does not think about the wind country and Shenchi, she should hand over the rebels and let our army deal with them." ”
"Lord Shangguan is teaching me how to do things?" the woman in white raised her eyebrows and asked rhetorically.
"I'm just saying one thing, and I'm also giving a suggestion to the Holy Maiden. Shangguan Xiu said: "Yesterday's incident happened to me, if I hadn't encountered it, what would have happened to the consequences, the saint should know very well." ”
The woman in white said unhurriedly: "The rebels hurt people in the Shenchi, that is just the appearance of the problem, the root of the problem, in the final analysis, is that Lord Shangguan is unrelenting to the rebels, forcing the rebels to be cornered and can only be trapped in the Shenchi. ”
Shangguan Xiu said: "As long as the Holy Maiden hands over the rebels to me, all the problems will be solved." ”
The woman in white said, "If you hand over the rebels to Lord Shangguan, their result will only be a dead end." ”
"Don't they deserve to die?"
"Of course, there are villains in the rebels, but there are more good people, and it is not right to punish the wicked and let innocent good people suffer with them. ”
"My understanding is exactly the opposite of what the saint understands. It is better to kill one hundred and one thousand by mistake than to let a thug go. Shangguan Xiu Zhengse said: "A stinky fish can kill a pot of soup, a villain, how much harm he has caused is not only the lives of thousands of people? ”
"If I still don't want to hand over the rebels to Lord Shangguan, what should Lord Shangguan do?"
"Then my Zhenjun army can only continue to guard around the Shenchi, and wait for the rebels themselves to take the initiative to come out and surrender. As for the inconvenience caused to Shenchi during this period, I can only say sorry to the saint on behalf of the soldiers of the whole army. Shangguan Xiu said calmly.
The woman in white raised her chin, looked at Shangguan Xiu from the corner of her eye, and said word by word: "I can't tolerate this situation if it continues, if Lord Shangguan insists on refusing to withdraw the army, I will gather all the people in the world to jointly fight against the atrocities of the Zhenjun army!
Shangguan Xiu smiled slightly, completely ignoring the threat of the Holy Maiden, and said, "If nothing else, within a month, my Zhenjun army will evacuate the Divine Pool." ”
"Oh?"
"The rebels hiding in Shenchi, their families have been captured by the local government, and they are now on the way to Shenchi, and as soon as they arrive, our army will set up a dharma field around Shenchi, and the rebels who are willing to come out to surrender can be spared from suffering, and the rebels who refuse to come out to surrender will be killed by beheading. If there are people who can watch their families being killed one by one and remain indifferent, then they are also talents, and Shenchi wants to continue to take them in, so he will continue to take them in. Shangguan Xiu frankly looked at the sparkling eyes of the woman in white, and continued: "This is my final way to deal with this matter, I don't know, the holy woman is still satisfied?"
"Shangguan Xiu, do you dare?"
"Earlier, I had already made my intentions very clear, to completely wipe out the rebels and never let go of a single fish that slipped through the net. I think that maybe Miss Moyun did not convey my determination to the Holy Maiden, and now, in front of the Holy Maiden, I repeat, in order to completely eradicate the rebels, I will not care about any price, even if I let more innocent people be buried with me. In order to protect these tens of thousands of rebels, but to make hundreds of thousands of rebel families suffer, is this what the saint wants?" Shangguan Xiu asked.
The woman in white narrowed her eyes and stared at Shangguan Xiu without blinking, the latter was not afraid and met her gaze directly, the two stared at each other, and neither of them spoke again. The negotiations reached an impasse, and the atmosphere in the hall became oppressive and tense.
If there is a third person present, at this moment, there must be a feeling of being out of breath.
After a long time, the woman in white sighed softly and said, "I hope Lord Shangguan doesn't do this, it's not good for Lord Shangguan at all?"
Shangguan Xiu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and asked rhetorically, "The Holy Maiden thinks that I exterminated the rebels just for my personal benefit?"
"Isn't it?
The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised, and he sneered and said: "Everyone says that the people in the Shenchi are extraordinary, and I think that the Holy Maiden of the Shenchi is even more so, and today, she is just a worldly person." ”
The white-clothed woman's face suddenly sank, and she asked in a condensed voice, "What does Lord Shangguan mean by this?"
Literally. Shangguan Xiu didn't want to give any more explanation for what he had done, he said: "In short, in a word, the Holy Maiden will either hand over the rebels, or this matter will be resolved according to my method." ”
I didn't expect Shangguan Xiu to be so resolute in the matter of clearing out the rebels, and he did not hesitate to be the enemy of Shenchi, and even the enemy of the whole day, but he really underestimated Shangguan Xiu.
She was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "I can hand over the generals of the rebel army, the corps commander and above, to Lord Shangguan for disposal, and ask Lord Shangguan to release the rebels." That's my bottom line. ”
Shangguan Xiu's eyes rolled, and he said quietly: "I want generals and soldiers above the captain level, this is also my bottom line." ”
This matter involves Shenchi and the Holy Maiden, and it can be resolved through negotiation, and it should be negotiated against, if your own means are too intense, so that Shenchi and the Holy Maiden do not come to the stage, it will do you all kinds of harm and no benefit. Shangguan Xiu is not a tenacious person, and sometimes, when dealing with certain things, he will also choose to compromise and retreat.
"I have already said that I will only agree to hand over generals above the rank of corps commander. ”
"In that case, I think there is nothing to talk about between me and the Holy Maiden. Taking the rebels above the rank of captain is the limit of what I can accept, if I retreat to this step, the saint still feels that it is too much, today's negotiations, this is the end, if the saint has nothing else to do, I will take my leave. As he spoke, Shangguan Xiu bowed to the saint again, but he stood still and didn't move, the saint didn't speak, and he couldn't leave rashly, and he understood that the saint also needed time to think and weigh the pros and cons.
The woman in white looked at him intently, and after a long time, she said slowly, "Lord Shangguan is a tough person. ”
Shangguan Xiu was silent, what kind of person he was had nothing to do with today's negotiations, and he didn't want to answer more.
The woman in white continued: "Judging from the current situation in the Wind Country, the imperial court also needs a tough person to turn the tide, and there are some elders who will support you openly and secretly, it seems that it is not without reason. ”
"So, the Holy Maiden means ......"
"But don't think that getting the support of some elders can become a capital for no one in your eyes. If you don't know how to be restrained, the elders who were originally supporting you will also work together against you. ”
"So, the saint means ......" Listening to her Rory said a lot, but it had nothing to do with the rebels, Shangguan Xiu was also listening patiently, if the person in front of him was not the saint, he would have turned around and left.
"Just do as you say. The rebels above the captain are at your disposal, and the ordinary soldiers will be released. The woman in white also seemed tired of arguing with him, and waved her hand tiredly.
