The Dust Settles Chapter 139, Negotiations, Everything Settles (Part I)
Before the former government hall of Nandu, the three forces had already arrived.
The representatives of the North, those majestic soldiers, lined up behind Du Zhong, and strangely, this time Du Zhong did not sit down, but stood in front of those soldiers, and the seats of the representatives of the North remained empty.
Mo Jie, the representative of the empire, was already sitting in the delegates' seat, but his face did not look good, and his face was full of helplessness, as if he was extremely reluctant to participate in this representative meeting.
The representative of the former regime of the Southern Capital, the representative elected by the rebels in the Southern Regions, Ai Jie. Ai Jie sat in the delegates' seats, looking at the empty northern delegates' seats in a daze, as if he was pondering something.
Ai Jie knew very well that the direction of this negotiation meeting was not up to him, the armies of the North and the Empire were still stationed around the southern capital, and now the southern region was in ruins, and the chaotic war had already swept this once prosperous land.
Du Zhong's expression was nervous, and his gaze swept over Mo Jie's face from time to time, and everyone could see that this negotiation was a contest between the Empire and the North.
"How long will we have to wait?" Ai Jie couldn't sit still after all, the rebels of Nandu, who were insignificant in this negotiation, Ai Jie was just waiting for an answer here.
The Southern Regions need a strong army to support it, which is not something that the rebels in the Southern Capital can do in a short period of time, but both the Northern Territory and the Empire can send troops to the Southern Regions to garrison.
For the Southern Regions, they need the army to maintain law and order and maintain the current safety of the Southern Capital, after all, the catastrophic beast tide has not yet known where the large number of fierce beasts went.
Aijie was bored, and even had the urge to leave.
On the seat, there is another vacant seat, which is the seat of Emgrand, Emgrand used to be the existence of the military and political in the southern capital, and in the next dominance of the Southern Regions, there is still a certain right to speak, at least to give a few thin noodles.
It's more about the North and the Empire, and they all want to see which side this group, which is known as the most powerful in the Empire's science and technology, will stand in the North and the Empire.
"Commander Ai, just wait a little longer!" Mo Jie's face was not good-looking, but he still said in a kind voice.
Mo Jie didn't want to participate in this negotiation, he didn't want to fall into a new situation of checks and balances as soon as the affairs of the southern capital were settled, but the Imperial Federation did not send a new representative, so he, the front-line commander, could only participate in the negotiations.
"Commander Du, why don't you take a seat?" Mo Jie was a little surprised, and when he came from Du Zhong again, he had been standing there, obviously not meaning to sit down.
"This time, the representative of the northern territory is the commander of the lion king, I am only the temporary commander in wartime, how dare I exceed my authority." Du Zhong did not smile, and answered Mo Jie's question in a loud voice, and there was even a little dissatisfaction in his words.
This is Mo Jie's dissatisfaction, Du Zhong's dissatisfaction is not aimed at his wartime orders and resignation after the war, but the attitude of the north towards the Lin Zihan incident, which makes Du Zhong very dissatisfied.
"This ......" Mo Jie was speechless for a moment, and even regretted that he had asked more.
"Dada~~"
Heavy footsteps, from far and near, walked towards the ruins of this negotiation.
The government hall has long been in ruins under the hands of the blood dragon, and no one of the three armies dares to easily send troops into the southern capital before the negotiations are over. Therefore, the place of negotiation is nothing more than a hasty cleaning up of the rubble.
Behind the representative army of the northern border, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the commander of the lion king, who was more than two meters tall, slowly walked from the direction of the northern army formation and walked straight to the negotiation seat.
"Sorry I'm late!" Before the Lion King could take his seat, the voice reached the ears of Mo Jay and Ai Jie.
"Lion King Commander!" Du Zhong saluted respectfully, although in the Northern Military Division, Du Zhong's reputation was no less than that of the Lion King, but Du Zhong was only a military commander after all, and he still had to salute when he saw the Lion King on the front line.
The lion king walked quickly to the negotiation table, looking at the same empty seat, "This is the ......" The lion king commander looked at the empty seat in front of him, a little stunned.
"Emgrand's representative seat!" Ai Jie said in a low voice, his eyes immediately looked at the empty seats, he was very curious, Wang Qin and Su Yu had not appeared for a long time.
"Why, the Emgrand is not here, everyone is still waiting here?" Su Yu's voice came from afar, "I'm sorry everyone, I'm late!" ”
Just as Su Yu walked forward, another voice slowly sounded.
"Emgrand is still the business tycoon of the Southern Capital, and it is still the largest scientific and technological financial group in the empire!" Wang Qin said loudly.
"If Emgrand doesn't participate, I don't think you can rest easy!" Wang Qin continued, with a bit of arrogance in his tone, and even looking at the Lion King Commander's gaze, it was full of disdain.
"Who is this person, what a big breath!" The commander of the lion king glanced at Wang Qin, put one hand on the negotiation table, and a coercion suddenly crushed towards Wang Qin, and behind the lion king, a fiery lion opened its bloody mouth.
That coercion stabbed at Wang Qin like a sharp sword, and in the blink of an eye, it reached Wang Qin's eyes, and under the strong coercion, a deep ravine was left on the ground.
Wang Qin didn't dodge, there wasn't even the slightest fear or panic in his eyes, and Su Yu just looked at Wang Qin lightly, not in a hurry.
"Bell~!" The Lion King's powerful coercion hit a wall, and the sword was shattered by a powerful force.
Behind Wang Qin, Huang Zhizong took half a step forward and blocked in front of Wang Qin.
"Young Master~" Huang Zhizong greeted in a low voice, apologizing for his offside behavior just now, bent down slightly to glance at Wang Qin, his eyes swept over Su Yu, and then looked at the Lion King.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, the moment you look at each other, the lion king actually has a feeling of being seen through, and that power seems to have disintegrated his coercion in an instant.
The Lion King didn't even see the old man make a move, but he just saw him take a half step forward slightly, blocking in front of Wang Qin, and his own coercion comparable to a king-level attack was blocked like this.
"The Emgrand is still the Emperone, it's not something that you can easily blaspheme!" Huang Zhizong said in a low voice, his voice was a little hoarse, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
"I have long heard that the person in charge of Emgrand is young and promising, and there is a loyal old man by his side, and today it seems that it is really good." The Lion King said secretly, feeling like he had hit a wall.
"Uncle Huang, this is a negotiation, they won't do anything to me!" Wang Qin said with a smile, this can be regarded as giving you a step, if you are sensible, you will not continue to confront each other at this time.
Wang Qin took his seat, and the negotiations officially began.
Listening to the strange requests in his ears, Wang Qin was even a little annoyed, these requests were undoubtedly pulling each other, and there was not even a useful word.
"In the first battle of Nandu, we all know who made the war exploits, so don't be too demanding!" Ai Jay couldn't stand it, and he spoke.
"I admit that Lin Zihan is a dragon man, not a human being, but don't forget, he is the one who recovered the southern capital, and everyone here still wants to be held responsible?"
Ai Jie's words didn't leave half of the affection for the north and the empire, not even a step.
"I agree with Commander Ai's statement, in the first battle of the Southern Capital, Emgrand helped him, and Lin Zihan is also most of the people in charge of my Emgrand, and he is also my brother, I can't just keep all this silent."
Wang Qin did not expect that Ai Jie would come forward to defend Lin Zihan, which made Wang Qin interested in the next negotiations.
"The Imperial Federation has issued a wanted warrant, we are soldiers, we will only carry out military orders, he is not false to recover the south, but he also seriously injured one of our ten commanders." Mo Jie shook his head, that's why Mo Jie didn't want to come. The so-called negotiation is nothing more than a group of people saying meaningless things here.
"I'm representing the North, and I'm neutral on this right now." When the Lion King saw that Ai Jie and Wang Qin were both defending Lin Zihan like this, he chose to wait for the dispute between the two.
"I ......" Du Zhong just wanted to speak, but was glared back by the lion king, and then swallowed back, his hands clenched into fists.
Du Zhong knew what Lin Zihan had done, and he also knew what Lin Zihan was carrying, if it weren't for Lin Zihan, just those mutants derived from Yuan Tinghuan would have caused most of the Northern Elite to be lost.
"I don't have to investigate what Lin Zihan did about hurting the Lion King's personal guards in the north, after all, he is the person I once supported in the north." The words of the Lion King were obviously said to Du Zhong, and this was also what the General Secretary meant.
"In that case, then our Imperial Federation will still issue a wanted warrant, and you still hope that you will not secretly obstruct it." Mo Jie said slowly, this is the last thing he wants to see.
But Mo Jie couldn't change anything, he reminded Lin Zihan not to attack Minglang, but Lin Zihan didn't listen, at that time, things were not under Mo Jie's control.
"I heard that Emgrand has a person who used to be in the north, temporarily moved to the southern capital, and is a hidden mutant with a virus in his body, and I also hope that Emgrand can hand over this person and deal with it in our northern border."
The Lion King finally said the main purpose of this trip, Lan Luoran, the chief secretary of the Northern Military Division, had already calculated that Du Zhong would be as willful as he was back then, so before the negotiation, a military order asked Du Zhong to wait for the Lion King to deal with everything after he arrived.
"That's the purpose of the lion king's trip." Wang Qin smiled bitterly, after all, Wei Mengying was mentioned, originally Wang Qin thought that maybe this topic would be ignored, but now it seems that their eyes are still on the original virus in Wei Mengying's body.
"Forgive me for not handing this man over to the North, because he is my friend's lover, and I promised to take care of him!" Wang Qin said in a low voice, looking at the lion king's eyes, unusually firm
