Chapter 797: A Private Meeting
During the morning of negotiations, the two sides quarreled fiercely and did not budge an inch on key issues.
But this result did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm, because near noon, more than two dozen medium-sized shuttles landed here, the hatches opened, and various goods were brought out of it.
The barbarians with purple gold in their hands became the first buyers of these goods, carrying the things transported from the Holy Heaven Continent, which was simply synonymous with being tall, and it was so cheap that they instantly felt superior.
In the past, people smuggled things from the city here, but the price was at least tenfold, and the quality was extremely poor.
Even then, it was still contested by the barbarians.
The people who didn't have Zijin in their hands were all panicked, and they couldn't wait to come over with medicinal herbs, gems, metal ores and other things, bargain with the Protoss merchants, quickly complete the transaction, and then take the money they just got to buy things.
The small bazaar of less than 500 square meters, but the turnover is amazing, every Protoss merchant has a happy smile on his face, and he is thinking about how much money he can make this time: he can make a fortune by selling goods, and after the collected things are sold to the Mei family and the Lei family trading company after returning to the city, he can make a sum of money again, and he can really wake up with a smile in his dreams.
At the end of the negotiations, the representatives of both sides walked out of the huts and looked at the lively bazaar, and everyone was stunned by the situation in front of them.
To be honest, Deputy Elder Chu didn't expect the barbarians to have such a strong purchasing power, he thought that it would take a while for them to accept the Protoss merchants and the goods from the Holy Heaven Continent, but he didn't expect that these people would not be seen at all.
Both the buyer and the seller are satisfied, even ...... When the love is strong, the scenes of hooking shoulders and calling brothers can be seen everywhere.
At this moment, Deputy Elder Chu profoundly realized that there was a big problem with the previous policy towards the barbarians, and it was clear that disputes could be resolved through trade, so why did he have to fight and kill?
In order to keep the bloodline of the Protoss pure?
Or, for the sake of the protoss' high face?
Please, these things can't be eaten, compared to the insignificant face, there are countless gods who die in the conquest every year, are their lives not as good as before a bunch of goods?
If this is the case, wouldn't it contradict the much-valued face.
Ye Yunyang was also surprised, in his impression, the barbarian should be the kind with a very backbone, just like Teng Xing'an, which was much more than he expected.
Li Fan came to Deputy Elder Chu and whispered, "This thing is okay, right?"
"That's great!" Deputy Elder Chu praised: "This batch of goods is more effective than we can say 10,000 words, after returning to the city, notify more merchants, let them set off with us early tomorrow morning, so that the barbarians can see the wealth of our god realm." ”
"Obey!" Li Fan hugged his fists and said.
Ye Yunyang expressed his disdain for this, what is the wealth of the God Realm, it is obviously the wealth of the Holy Heaven Continent, you only know that you will be able to control the economy of the barbarians immediately, but you don't know that the economy of the God Realm is about to be controlled by the human race.
Although it has not yet reached that point, the dependence of the Divine Realm on the Terrans has risen to an irreplaceable height, and if the Terrans tear up the trade agreement at this moment and refuse to send supplies to the Divine Realm, it will not take more than three days, and the economy of the Divine Realm will completely collapse.
At this time, a discordant voice sounded: "What kind of broken things, are you all blind, this grade of things are also competing to buy, don't give them to me, phew!"
Everyone looked in the direction from which the voice came and saw a face full of disdain, it was Teng Xing'an.
Yan Yuda was the first to change his face and snorted: "It's this unruly guy again!"
Lu Cheng tugged at his sleeve and whispered: "Don't be impatient, he will only complain at most, lend him three guts, and he will not dare to be presumptuous in front of us." ”
Sure enough, Teng Xing'an saw that no one paid attention to him, and he was in a hurry to choose his favorite goods, staring angrily, and shouted: "You guys who have no future, a little thing will make you lose your principles, and I am ashamed to be with you." Let's go, I'll go back to Lingxue Valley, anyone who is in Lingxue Valley is not allowed to buy anything anymore, go back with me. ”
Yan Yuda smiled: "Brother Lu is right, he really doesn't dare to make trouble." ”
Ye Yunyang quietly memorized the three words "Ling Xue Valley", and after returning to the city, he asked Mei Yu to find Mi Yun, and then go to see Teng Xing'an.
Two hours later, the trade activity came to an end.
The purpose of this is to ensure the safety of the Protoss merchants, who will return to the city with the negotiators, and promise to come early tomorrow morning, when the trade will last all morning, please come back tomorrow.
In the evening, a small shuttle under the banner of the Alliance Academy left the Protoss airspace and disappeared into the sky.
Ten minutes later, it appeared in Lingxue Valley, three thousand miles to the east, where it was covered with snow and all the buildings were hidden under the snow layer, which was very safe.
"Teng senior. Ye Yunyang greeted Teng Xing'an.
Teng Xingan walked over with a smile and said, "Yun Yang, I was really embarrassed yesterday, don't you mind slandering your reputation in front of so many people." ”
He shook his head: "Senior did this to protect me, how could I be angry." ”
Mei Yu said with a smile on the side: "You two really have a tacit understanding, you have deceived Deputy Elder Chu and your four elders, they must think that you two are undying enemies, and they will definitely not contact each other in private." ”
Teng Xing'an laughed and made a gesture of invitation: "It's cold outside, let's go inside, Shibo specially asked people to beat a few snow deer, which have been stewed in a big wood pot, just waiting for you to come and taste." ”
Mi Yun said with a dissatisfied face: "Uncle, you are too partial, I am your nephew, and I have never enjoyed the treatment of stewed snow deer." ”
Teng Xingan said with a disgusted face: "You kid had better not have an opinion, Miss Mei is the benefactor of our Teng Village, Yun Yang is your benefactor, shouldn't you be hospitable?"
Mi Yun immediately laughed: "It should be, it should be!"
The cabin hidden in the snow is very warm, in stark contrast to the cold outside.
In the middle of the house is a large wood pot, with a blazing bonfire below, and a fireplace next to it, which burns charcoal, and hangs oil lamps to illuminate the house.
Everyone sat around the cauldron and chatted while eating.
This way of stewing in a pot, Ye Yunyang liked it very much in his previous life, it is simple and not fancy, the most important thing is that the ingredients are real, not the pursuit of exquisiteness, but the taste is great, which makes people want to stop.
The main thing is the atmosphere, you don't need to be polite, everyone is open.
After tasting the stewed venison, Ye Yunyang said, "Senior Teng, what do the four elders of your side mean?"
Teng Xing'an replied: "What else can it mean, it is obvious that they have tasted the sweetness, and they are desperate to negotiate peace with the Protoss, thinking that they can take advantage of it, and they can also seek the well-being of the clan and future generations, why not." ”
Ye Yunyang nodded: "I understand, but the negotiations have been going on for two days, and the two sides have not said a word about the Star of the Divine Realm, obviously they don't want more people to know about it." But every negotiation is open, and in that case, how do you get the deal done?"
Teng Xing'an felt the same way, and said: "I haven't figured out what the hell they are doing, but it is certain that the matter of the Star of the Divine Realm will never be brought to the table to discuss, and it must be a private transaction." I have already declared that I will not go to the negotiation site again, and you will have to worry about the rest of the matter. ”
"No problem, it's actually good for you not to go. Ye Yunyang said in a deep voice: "I have always felt that negotiation is a cover, and something will definitely happen in the end, and it is not safe to stay there." ”
Mei Yu opened his mouth and asked, "What about Ma Hongde, won't he be here too?"
Teng Xingan shook his head: "No, you asked Xiaomi to tell me that he is unreliable, how can I take him with me at all times, especially for such an important thing as meeting with you, of course, the fewer people who know, the better." ”
Ye Yunyang nodded solemnly: "Senior Teng did the right thing, in fact, the Protoss has planted a lot of spies in your department, and some of them can even access high-level secrets, for example, you secretly build an air combat team, if it weren't for the long time it took to send the news, the information would reach the ears of the four elders before you carried out a sneak attack, and you would definitely suffer heavy losses." ”
Next, Teng Xing'an said the information sent by the spies, and the four elders privately gave Deputy Elder Chu the right to do things cheaply, as long as he could get back the Star of the Divine Realm, he could agree to the other party no matter how harsh the conditions were.
Ye Yunyang wanted to know more and more what the function of the Divine Realm Star was, which would make the four elders attach so much importance to it, and in order to get it again, he did not hesitate to lower his status and beg for peace with the barbarians.
"I had people look it up, but they didn't find anything. Teng Xing'an said: "I'm afraid that except for the four elders of the Council of Elders, no one knows its details. ”
"I, too, didn't find any clues. Mi Yun said.
Ye Yunyang frowned slightly, and said, "Now it is certain that no one knows except for the four elders, and even Lei Shaoyuan can't say why." To be on the safe side, let your people stop asking about it, because if you don't get it, you'll expose yourself. ”
Teng Xing'an said solemnly: "I know, I will let people inform the spies planted in the Council of Elders, and let them be careful." ”
......
The next day, the Protoss merchants came to bring tens of thousands of goods, and the negotiation site became a lively bazaar again.
Negotiators from both sides took their seats one after another, and the negotiations officially began.
As yesterday, the two sides were very divided, but the quarrel was much less intense than yesterday, especially on the side of the barbarians, who were deeply aware of the importance of peace and trade, and although they still refused to back down on matters of principle, they seemed much calmer in their words.
Deputy Elder Chu rarely spoke, and in his opinion, there was no need for him to come forward for this kind of grinding thing.
The four elders on the other side were just the opposite, they were in the name of working for the welfare of their clansmen, they would not talk about everything, and they were the main force in the quarrel.
Like the previous two days, Ye Yunyang was hiding and showing that he did not have the slightest interest in the negotiations.
But in fact, he was secretly observing Deputy Elder Chu's every move, and any change in the other party's expression did not escape his eyes.
Based on a person's expression and words, one can deduce what he really thinks in his heart, up to now, Vice Elder Chu is a staunch supporter of peace talks, and there is nothing strange about anything else.
The more this was the case, the more Ye Yunyang felt that there was something inside, because Deputy Elder Chu was too calm, obviously this was used to disguise his own coat, which showed that he attached great importance to the Star of the Divine Realm.
