Chapter 709: Cooperation
readx;
Shangguan Xiu met Ed's urgent gaze and said quietly: "I want Duke Reina to be blind for half a month!"
"What...... What?" As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed greatly, and many of the guards had exuded a white aura, and their hands were tightly gripping the hilt of their swords, as long as Ed gave an order, they could attack Shangguan Xiuqun.

Ed and Shangguan Xiu looked at each other for a long time, their fists clenched and released, released and clenched, and he asked in a condensed voice, "Duke Shangguan wants my pair of eyes?"
"Haha-" Shangguan Xiu was stunned, and then laughed on his back, laughing so that Ed's face was gloomy, and the faces of the people around him were ugly, he stopped laughing, waved his hand to Ed slowly, and said: "Duke Reina, I am not as cruel and vicious as you imagined. I want you to be blind for half a month, I want you to turn a blind eye to our army in half a month, and stay still in the city of Jinsk, no matter what happens outside, your soldiers are not allowed to step out of the city of Jinsk, as long as the Duke of Reina does this, I can guarantee that after half a month, Miss Hailey will be sent back safe and sound. ”
"This ......" Ed looked at Shangguan Xiu with a smile on his face, and was silent for a long time.
Shangguan Xiu's conditions sound simple and easy to accept, but if you think about it carefully, you can find the mystery.
Half a month is enough for the wind army to attack all the way from Jinsk City to Goro. The latest chapter of héiyāпgê has been updated
The immobility of the city-state of Kinsk deprived the city of one of its most recent and powerful reinforcements. Shangguan Xiu never thought of occupying Jinsk City, whether it was a strong attack or the other party's voluntary surrender, it was meaningless to the Feng Army.
What Shangguan Xiu really wants is to capture Goro. During this period, as long as the army of the city-state of Jinsk could stay still, then the wind army would have less worries when attacking Goro, and could attack the city with all their might without distraction.
Ed isn't a wine bag that doesn't know anything, on the contrary, he's a brilliant guy. His mind was in a hurry, and he quickly figured out Shangguan Xiu's true intentions.
There is no difference between letting one's own troops stand still and letting one's own side disarm and surrender, but there is a difference, that is, the difference between saving some face and losing face.
Seeing that Ed's face was changing and he didn't speak for a long time, Shangguan Xiu smiled and asked, "Duke Reina thinks my conditions are difficult to accept?"
"If I don't accept Duke Shangguan's conditions......"
"Then, the Duke of Reina is tantamount to killing his own daughter with his own hands. ”
"You said you saw Hayley as a friend......"
"Even if I regard her as a friend, I can't ignore the morale of the army, if I insist on releasing Hailey, it will only chill the hearts of my soldiers and demoralize, I will not and dare not do this, I think, the Duke of Rainer should be able to understand my difficulties. Shangguan Xiu's tone was very honest, and his eyes were also very calm when he looked at Ed.
Eddard's brow furrowed, and he fell silent again. The Zhenjun army went deep alone, fighting close to the hinterland of Besa, the military heart is the foundation of maintaining the combat strength of the whole army, once the military heart collapses, then the Zhenjun army will only face the end of collapse.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Shangguan Xiu couldn't help but stand up, held the table with both hands, stared at Ed intently, and said in a deep voice: "Duke Reina, don't hesitate any longer, the conditions I put forward are not too harsh, if you refuse to even agree to such conditions, then, Hailey as your daughter, it will be too sad." ”
Ed's body was shocked, he slowly raised his head, met Shangguan Xiu's fierce gaze, and muttered: "Duke Shangguan is forcing me to make a move to collaborate with the enemy!"
"But who knows?" Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised slightly, and said: "There are less than 30,000 troops left in the Jinsk city-state, in the face of a strong enemy, holding on to the city, holding on to the city, holding on to the troops, reasonable, and no problem, no one can catch the handle of the Duke of Reina, what is the Duke of Reina afraid of now?"
Hearing his words, Ed smiled bitterly, he couldn't grasp his handle, does it mean that people don't know anything? Ed slowly narrowed his eyes, retracted the cold light in his eyes, and he kept turning on Shangguan Xiu's body with a scrutinizing look.
Just looking at his expression and the murderous aura that instantly emanated from his body, Shangguan Xiu had already guessed his thoughts. He smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" Duke Reina is not planning to exchange me for Hayley, right?"
Ed was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, his fingers gently stroked the snow bear skin in front of him, his eyes lowered, and he said slowly: "I think that the identity of the Duke of Shangguan has enough weight to exchange for Hailey." ”
Shangguan Xiu was also happy, and instead sat back in the figure that had stood up, tilted his body sideways, crossed Erlang's legs, and asked easily with a smile: "So, how does the Duke of Reina plan to exchange me?"
Before Ed could answer, suddenly, there was a rustle around him, the sound of many swords unsheathed in unison.
The generals and guards in the main hall drew their swords one after another, and the spirit armor and the spirit of the soldiers were completed at the same time, and they quickly surrounded Shangguanxiu, while the civil officials retreated one after another, straight to the corner of the wall.
Ed's palm stroking Da Yu suddenly clenched into a fist, and said faintly: "I heard that Duke Shangguan's spiritual martial arts are invincible, and I really want to see and see, whether Duke Shangguan's spiritual martial arts are really as powerful as rumored!"
"The two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoys, this rule, Duke Reina won't not understand, right?" Shangguan Xiu's face remained unchanged, and he turned a blind eye to the Besa cultivators who surrounded him, and just looked at Ed opposite with a smile.
"As long as I can save Hailey's life, I don't care about anything!" As Ed spoke, he grabbed Da Yu's hand and suddenly raised it outward, and Da Yu flew out and covered Shangguan Xiu's head.
Almost at the same time, the four guards closest to Shangguan Xiu raised the spirit sword in their hands and rushed towards Shangguan Xiu from four directions, and the other two guards each drew a spirit musket from their backs, and aimed their guns at Shangguan Xiu.
Rustle -
The four spirit swords did not stab Shangguan Xiu, they were all stabbed on the snow bear skin that fell from the sky, and then look at the seat made by Shangguan Xiu, where is he still at this time?
"Huh?" the guards gasped. People subconsciously turned their heads to look, only to see that Shangguan Xiu didn't know when, he actually went around Ed's back, the saber was unsheathed, and it was pressing on Ed's shoulder, and the blade was tightly pressed against his neck.
The spirit spear shooter not far away almost didn't even think about it, and aimed at Shangguan Xiu, who was standing behind Ed, and raised his hand to shoot. The explosion of the spirit spear was extremely harsh, and the spirit bullet shot out of the chamber of the spear and flew straight to Shangguan Xiu's eyebrows.
Shangguan Xiu had already been on guard, his arm shook slightly, and a shield appeared on his arm, and he raised his arm to protect the side of his head. When the spirit bullet hit the edge of the shield, along the arc of the shield, a long series of sparks were drawn on the shield surface, and then flew by Shangguan Xiu's side, hitting the wall behind him, making a muffled sound, and the wall made of stone was forced by this redirected spirit bullet to hit a big black hole more than two fingers thick.
Another spear shooter tried to shoot along, but his fingers were already on the trigger, but he didn't hook them down.
Shangguan Xiu's gloomy gaze swept over him, making him feel creepy, and he didn't ignore it, the edge of the saber in Shangguan Xiu's hand had already cut through the skin on the side of Ed's neck, and blood was sliding across the blade, dripping from the tip of the knife.
He had a hunch that his shot might not be able to kill Shangguan Xiu, but it was very likely to kill the Duke. The spirit spear shooter's heart tightened, and he didn't dare to shoot rashly, so he hurriedly put down the spirit spear he was holding up, and waved his hand to Shangguan Xiu, signaling him not to hurt anyone.
Shangguan Xiu now wants to kill Ed, it is as easy as a finger, he only needs to shake his wrist slightly, and he doesn't think that anyone else in Jinsk City can keep him.
It's just that there is no point in doing this, killing Ed won't solve any problems, Ed is dead, there will be a second Ed, a third Eddard...... Moreover, Ed's death will inevitably inspire the soldiers and civilians of the city-state of Kinsk to fight to the death against their own side.
Shangguan Xiu would not do such a thankless stupid thing.
Ed was forced by Shangguan Xiu's knife, and no one noticed it, and a look of relief flashed in his eyes.
He waved his hand to the subordinates around him and said, "Don't move!" As he spoke, he slowly turned his head, glanced at Shangguan Xiu behind him, and said weakly: "Duke Shangguan, I just accept your conditions." ”
"My lord, no!" the faces of the civil officials who retreated to the corner suddenly changed, and they all said urgently.
"Do you want both our father and daughter to die today?" Ed's question scared the civil officials who opened their mouths to dissuade him, and people looked at Ed, and then at Shangguan Xiu, who was holding a knife to force him, looked at each other, and finally lowered their heads.
If Ed directly accepts Shangguan Xiu's conditions, he will only be infamous as a traitor. To Shangguan Xiu, if he can take him down, he can just use him to exchange Hailey, but now he has been taken down by Shangguan Xia, which is also in line with his heart, just to push the boat down the river and accept Shangguan Xiu's conditions.
In this case, accepting Shangguan Xiu's conditions, no one can accuse him of anything anymore. As a duke, the head of the Reina family, Ed is shrewd and shrewd, and his mind is still clear in the face of crisis, and he knows very well what he can do to minimize the damage.
Looking at Ed, who was suddenly relieved, Shangguan Xiu seemed to realize something, the smile on his face deepened, he tilted his head, and asked with a smile: "Duke Reina doesn't like to try my spirit martial arts again?" Perhaps, Duke Reina can also try again, is it your neck that is hard, or my knife is hard!"
Ed shook his head again and again, and said with a dry smile, "This ...... It doesn't have to be. ”
"Just once. Shangguan Xiu put away the knife and said expressionlessly: "If the Duke of Reina still wants to test my spiritual martial arts and test my patience next, then my next knife must be smeared on the neck of the Duke of Reina." ”
As he spoke, he walked past Ed and returned to his seat.
However, as he bent down to sit down, he winked at Ed with a meaningful smile, as if to say, I know what you think, and I will not take my anger out on Hayley because of this.
Seeing this, Ed secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this is the benefit of doing things with smart people, you don't have to pick out the words, the other party will naturally understand everything. Obviously, Shangguan Xiu is a smart person.
