Chapter 248: Compromise and Deal
Xia Zuo didn't speak, Andy hurriedly nodded in agreement.
The cold palm on his neck that made Andy feel goosebumps was released coldly, Xia Zuo's figure flickered, and he didn't know where to get a chair and sat upright opposite Andy, looking at Prince Andy with a faint smile on his face.
"My request is simple, I only need you to expand the border between the Gravel Wasteland and the territory of Manchester City in Dallas by two hundred miles!"
Andy's eyes stared in disbelief, and a few words subconsciously popped out of his mouth, "That's it?"
The border between the city of Dallas and the Gravel Wasteland, although not as barren as the Gravel Wasteland, is also a dispensable barren ruin overgrown with grass for the City of Dallas.
From the most important food producing area of the Wood family, to a wasteland on the edge of the city of Darasman, although the long territorial handover line is not a small area of two hundred miles, what is the use of this barren land.
"It's that simple!" Xia Zuo smiled faintly and gave the incredulous Prince Andy an affirmative answer.
As early as the war with the city of Sarnia, old Griffin taught Xia Zuo that sometimes fighting does not get what you want, but the right strategy can get you everything that you can't get in simple battle, fighting is only a premise, a means of deterring the enemy, and the strategy after the battle is the key to reaping the fruits of victory.
From the very beginning, Xia Zuo's goal was never the Fruit Plains, he just casually ordered a condition that the Wood family would never agree to.
This expansion of the two-hundred-mile area naturally completely encompasses the surface coal belt that old Griffin had always dreamed of.
"Why?" Andy frowned. As the prince of the Wood family, Andy is definitely not stupid, and even has a delicate mind that most Campers do not have.
Since Xia Zuo has asked for something, then his life is completely guaranteed, and after the agitated mood quickly calmed down, he calmly looked at Xia Zuo and asked.
"Prince Andy has a strong spirit and noble integrity, and he is not afraid of death in order to protect the family property, I am deeply moved by your integrity, so I decided to change my original request!" Xia Zuo shrugged his shoulders indifferently. The mouth is full of boastful words. It made Andy embarrassed and red, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally.
There were stunned eyes around him, and it was obvious that Xia Zuo's reason was completely unreasonable, and even the orcs who were gradually disappearing in the wasteland would not believe it.
Sigh lightly. Xia Zuo looked at Andy with a smile. Shaking his head slightly, he said, "Does my reason matter to you? And you, Venerable Prince Andy, rely on your own strength and wisdom. Let the Wood family smoothly engage with me in the Second Division of the Storm Ape with me with minimal losses, your ability will be seen by the Wood family, and at the same time, your reputation will also rise, and you will be the first heir of your family. ”
Valuing only the result is common to all intelligent beings, and as long as the result is beneficial to themselves, then no one will go back and care about the process.
Andy, who was about to pay a strong price and how to explain how to go home, did not expect that he would be in a desperate situation, and did not hide his excitement, and nodded his head again and again, "Dear Patriarch Xia Zuo, your wisdom is simply shining like the sun on the grassland, and your mind is as broad as the Tempus grassland, and the gravel wasteland will be brilliant under your leadership." ”
Andy's attitude changed extremely quickly, with a sunny and affectionate smile on his face, and the flattering compliments in his mouth still gave people goosebumps, in his eyes, Xia Zuo instantly became the cutest person in the entire Campas, as long as he cared about his status and glory, Xia Zuo could do whatever he wanted.
As for the two golden fighter guards who died in worthless battles in order to protect him, they have already been thrown out of the sky by Andy, they are just two subordinates, and it is their supreme honor to be able to sacrifice for the honorable Prince Andy, not to mention that they are not his people in the first place, even if they are all dead, he is not distressed.
Rubbing his hands back and forth excitedly, Andy smiled affectionately and flatteringly and said to Xia Zuo, "So, respected Lord Xia Zuo, for the sake of our cooperation, let's have a drink?"
"Of course, why not?" Xia Zuo's interest was also brought up, "Prince Andy is a distinguished guest, how can you just have a drink!" With a snap of his fingers, Buman, who had been waiting outside, ran in with small steps, and stood respectfully beside Xia Zuo and listened to the order, "Go and prepare the main banquet hall and let the back kitchen prepare again!"
The main banquet hall of the castle, which is only opened when the most revered guests of the castle lord arrive, is a sign of absolute respect for the guests.
The brand-new Xia Zuo, affectionately with Prince Andy's hand to the main banquet hall, in just a few breaths, the delicate and elegant porcelain pomelo cups were sent up, a bottle of wine with a year full of Xia Zuo's age more than ten times the age was opened, and the newly baked snacks were also constantly sent, meat and vegetables are available, all kinds of color matching, each kind of exquisite dim sum color, are implemented in accordance with the standards of the old Griffin ancient family, dazzling people are overwhelmed.
The broken walls and floors were quickly cleaned up, and the oil paintings were rehung and the sculptures were visited.
As for the corpses of the two golden fighters, they were extremely precious and good, although Xia Zuo couldn't use them for medicine, but it was the best tonic for Gollum and Alice, and the two bodies full of qi and blood energy were enough for the two fierce beasts to take a big step on the road to gold.
Soon Andy's and Xia Zuo were intimate as if they were the closest brothers, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and the unpleasantness just now had already been thrown out of the clouds, and Andy, who seemed to be flushed with alcohol, took Xia Zuo's hand affectionately, "Dear Xia Zuo, we are best friends, right?"
Xia Zuo squinted his eyes and nodded with a grin, "Of course, of course we are the best "friends"!"
Andy glanced at the surrounding Fox maids in a drunken daze, and soon these smart girls all retreated spontaneously and sensibly, together with the guards of Vegeta City with three golden fighters who had been following closely with cold faces, leaving only Xia Zuo and Andy in the entire hall.
"My dearest friend!" Andy, who was slightly drunk, smiled affectionately, "I have no interest in why you want that piece of land! You see, I agreed to your conditions so simply, the territory of the Gravel Wasteland can be expanded outward immediately, but, as a friend, I have a small request!"
"Of course, of course, as a friend, I will not let my dear friend contribute in vain, I will give enough benefits" Andy, who was flushed, seemed to be drunk and did not hesitate to say, "You know, my father is the great leader of the Munk clan and the most powerful patriarch, in order to protect the interests of the Wood family, he is in the second division"
"Huh" The smell of alcohol is strong enough to stun people with a burp "He used some small means in the second division, those really elite battles have been assigned to other divisions, and the rest are old and weak soldiers drawn from other divisions."
Holding a huge golden cup in one hand, and hooking Xia Zuo's neck affectionately with the other, "We are friends, I can help you, although I can't give you the soldiers of the second division, but I can give you some useful, real young soldiers!"
"Of course, of course we are the closest friends!" Xia Zuo burst into laughter, "Since we are friends, what else is there to say? Helping each other is the most basic thing to do as friends, and your request, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely do it for you." ”
It was absolutely impossible for Lucas to completely hand over the Second Division, which was the foundation of the Wood family, and if he didn't do anything about it, Xia Zuo would find it strange.
Therefore, Xia Zuo never had any hope for the elite second division of the Tyranny Ape Legion, and was even ready to get only an empty establishment and be supplemented by soldiers from Vegeta City.
The smart Prince Andy obviously knows what Xia Zuo really wants, some young warriors are more valuable to Xia Zuo than the elite foot soldiers of the Second Division, although they do not have the elite strength of the Second Division, but they are still young, they still have potential, and most importantly, they have not been trained by the Wood family, as long as they come to Vegeta City, they will soon belong to Xia Zuo, not like the Second Division, even if they obey Xia Zuo's command, but in their bones, they still have the brand of the Wood family。
"Good brother, if you can do it, you can do it!" Andy squinted drunkenly, and he patted Xia Zuo on the back heavily. My father, the great Munk patriarch, he was a powerful man in that respect, so I am different from them, I have eight siblings, three of whom are eligible to inherit the position of patriarch, and they have been very dishonest all these years, my youngest brother, his name is Albert, although he has just come of age, but he is very much favored by my father, and his mother, the lewd Munk, has been very spoiled by his father all these years."
Andy said and glanced meaningfully at Xia Zuo, he believed that with Xia Zuo's wisdom, it was easy to hear the meaning of his words.
Xia Zuo's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he quietly looked Andy up and down, he never thought that there would be a clansman like Andy in the rugged and heroic Camppass, and he shook Andy's hand fiercely, "Then, deal!" As a friend, you send me some young warriors, and your dear brother Albert, I will take good care of him for you!"
Andy smiled happily, he took Xia Zuo's hand and shook it several times. (To be continued......)
