Chapter 233: Negotiations Begin (Part II)

Judging from the content of the news, Xu Changqing is almost certain at this moment that the item that caused the dispute in the European underground world is the heaven and earth spiritual object he needs, and the British nobleman who finally got such an item must be the named disciple of the Englishman Sean Wilner that he received back then. For this reason, Xu Changqing secretly pinched his fingers and calculated Sean's life, and the result couldn't help but make Xu Changqing's brows tighten, although he could calculate that Sean was in danger at the moment, but he couldn't calculate his exact location, and he felt that his lifeline seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze, which made people unable to see through it.

With Xu Changqing's current strength, he pinched his fingers to calculate that a person who had just stepped into the door of cultivation should have things such as his fate and other things that could be captured, such as Sean. However, at this moment, it is impossible to calculate its location, there are only two possibilities, one is that Sean's cultivation has passed Xu Changqing, which can almost be completely denied, and the remaining one may be that there is an extremely strong magic weapon or power to cover Sean.

Heaven and earth spirit objects are related to whether Xu Changqing can achieve Jindan Dao, which naturally makes him feel very worried, although he is a little anxious at the moment, he still decided to wait for the political situation in China to calm down, and then see if he wants to go to Europe to find heaven and earth spirit objects in person. Despite this, he didn't want to wait like this during this time, and after leaving the courtyard of the Outer Dao Alliance, Xu Changqing immediately found Chen Deshang, told him the news he had just gotten, and asked him to order someone to telegraph to Europe overnight, so that Chen Jingguo could find Sean's whereabouts in Europe.

After returning to Peach Blossom Mountain from the Chen family, Xu Changqing had lost interest in negotiations and other matters, and handed over all the matters to the Huang family brothers and sisters, and Zheng Xuan and the Chang family brothers also stayed in the mountain city to prevent those masters of the Mongolian Tantric Sect from coming out to make trouble. As for himself, he returned to the mountain, supplemented by the Great Dao Map, and used his best to use the Tianluo Doushu, hoping to calculate Sean's whereabouts.

Perhaps it was Xu Changqing's murderous aura when he left the customs that played a threatening role, and no one came out to make trouble all night, and he seemed extraordinarily calm. The next day, the secret peace talks between the two major forces of the north and the south officially began in a small building in Chen's house. As a result of Tran's coordination the night before, the negotiations went very smoothly, and both sides reached consensus on many things, and one by one they wrote them on paper, stamped them with seals, signed their names, and became formal terms.

On the first day of negotiation, everyone was happy, and at the dinner held by the Chen family, everyone talked happily, as if they were friends they hadn't seen for many years, and they didn't look like enemies of life and death who had just started a bloody fight. On the first day of negotiations, Cai Yi, Tang Jiyao, Li Yuanhong and others were all bystanders, and they all knew in their hearts where their position was and how much they should profit from this negotiation, so they didn't talk much in the negotiation.

On the second day of the talks, the atmosphere was quite harmonious at the beginning, and the two sides were able to agree on all the terms of the peace talks. According to Yuan Shikai's instructions, the Beiyang faction believed that a constitutional monarchy should be implemented like the United Kingdom, while the revolutionary army believed that it should completely abandon those feudal bad habits and adopt a democratic republic. For this reason, the two sides launched an extremely fierce dispute, and the smell of gunpowder immediately permeated the entire small building and courtyard, and it was not until the evening that the Beiyang faction relented and agreed to adopt a democratic republic.

Although on the surface the revolutionary army won the negotiations, in fact it lost a lot of bargaining chips. For the Beiyang faction, it doesn't matter whether it is a constitutional monarchy or a democratic republic, they know very well that as long as they grasp the army, no matter what kind of system it is, it is just a change of soup and not a change of medicine. The main reason for such a rational struggle at the negotiating table was to make the revolutionary army lose some of its negotiating capital, and gradually lead Song Jiaoren and others to the edge of the precipice that obstructed the peace between the north and the south, so that they would lose the initiative in the important negotiations that would soon follow.

Song Jiaoren and the others were obviously not as cunning as Yang Shiqi, and they didn't notice the problem at all, and some other discerning people, including Chen Deshang, did not remind them. As a result, on the third day, the negotiations on the location of the capital after the founding of the country began to quarrel even more fiercely than the previous day. Originally, according to Yuan Shikai's intention to build the capital of Beijing, he also knew that this was a bit unrealistic, so he did not force Yang Shiqi and others to do this, and Xu Shuzheng and Yang Shiqi just took this as a condition to guide Song Jiaoren and others again, so that the chips in their hands were reduced more and more.

The negotiations went on until late at night, and it was not until the last moment that the Beiyang faction finally relented, which looked like they had made a heavy sacrifice, which made Song Jiaoren and the others feel that they had received a great advantage. When returning to their respective courtyards, Yang Shiqi deliberately fell behind, talked with Li Yuanhong, and then went to Li Yuanhong's courtyard to drink and eat, as for what they talked about, only they knew.

On the fourth day, the negotiations did not proceed according to the established procedures, but directly proposed by Xu Shuzheng who would be the vice president after the founding of the country. The Beiyang faction pushed out the extremely prestigious Xu Shichang, and because the revolutionary army had already agreed to the Foreign Dao Alliance, it naturally could not give up the position of vice president, so it could only fight with all its might. During the fierce negotiations between the two sides, the careful Song Jiaoren sensed that something was wrong, and Li Yuanhong, who should have been the most concerned about this position, looked relaxed as if he knew in advance that this position belonged to him. Song Jiaoren couldn't help but recall the negotiation process in the past few days, and then thought of Li Yuanhong's secret meeting with Yang Shiqi last night, and felt that he might have fallen into a trap. Although he had doubts about this, he couldn't help but fight for this position for Li Yuanhong, after all, now the revolutionary army still needs to rely on the support of the Foreign Dao League, otherwise this half of the country will definitely not be able to stand firm.

The day's negotiations were like a lame drama, full of flaws from start to finish. However, the characters in the play have to perform according to the established script, and the boring lines and stiff expressions are all disgusting. In the end, when the sky was getting dark, all the Beiyang faction agreed to the request of the revolutionary army with a sad face, and Li Yuanhong was appointed as the deputy of the new regime. As the forces return to their respective compounds, they all know that tomorrow will be the key to ultimately deciding whether this negotiation will win or lose.

After nightfall, the mountain city of the Chen family became extremely quiet, and a large number of people were originally lost because of the various policies of the Chen family, and the deliberate guidance of the Chen family's direct family later, which made this population loss faster and faster. At present, there are only more than 100 households living in Chenjiachong Mountain City, which makes many houses in the city vacant there, coupled with the cold atmosphere in the mountains after nightfall, no one comes out to walk around at night, and the whole mountain city is like a dead city.
