The next day.

Lin Feng arrived alone in the Rock Hall of Liyue Harbor.

He didn't make any arrogant moves this time, handed over the prayer post in the normal process, and then took the floating stone under the leadership of the guide and directly ascended the Jade Pavilion.

Ningguang personally came out to greet Lin Feng.

Behind her.

Keqing and Yelan are separated.

The reason why it was just the two of them came, not the other five from the Seven Stars of Liyue.

This is because the Seven Stars of Liyue are responsible for seven different realms.

Among them, the one in charge of legal and foreign affairs is Tianquan Xingguang.

If it weren't for Keqing's initiative to ask.

Today, only Ningguang and Yelan should have come to receive Lin Feng together.

"The winter envoy is coming, and the light is missing, please forgive me."

Ningguang is still full of polite words as always.

However, Lin Feng did not reply to her words.

Instead, he looked at Keqing and Yelan and greeted, "Miss Yelan, Miss Keqing, meet again?" ”

"Are your injuries healed?"

"If not, we Fatui have a few highly qualified doctors here who can take a look at you."

This is a bit murderous.

At the same time, Yelan and Ningguang's eyes were on Keqing.

Although Yelan and Lin Feng lost in the previous battle, they were not injured.

This gaze is known.

As for Keqing.

She really fought with Lin Feng, and she looked deflated.

Just when several people have different thoughts.

Keqing grimaced and said coldly: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

Lin Feng smiled and nodded.

Then he took out a stack of thick documents from his arms and handed them to Ningguang, and continued: "Since Miss Keqing admitted to doing it at the Northland Bank yesterday. ”

"Then please Miss Tianquanxing pay for the loss of our Northland Bank."

Ningguang was stunned.

Keqing and Yelan were also stunned.

I know that this notorious bastard is not well-intentioned.

How can there be a private claim for compensation between the two countries as soon as the negotiations come up.

The start was so disappointing.

How to negotiate next.

Especially the wad of paper in this bastard's hand, why is it so thick?

Ningguang took Lin Feng's claim.

He frowned and began to turn page by page.

"Four precious chairs, one for 900,000 mora, a total of 3.6 million mora."

"One weeping wood counter, a total of eight million mora."

"Five statues of the Ice Empress, made of various rare gems, one for 30 million Mora, a total of 150 million Mora."

“.”

"Due to the interference of the Millelith Army, Xu Hu, a customer with an A-grade credit rating, was involved in the business of borrowing 7 million Mora and causing a loss of 7 million Mora to Northland Bank."

“.”

"Due to the interference of the Millelith Army, nine customers who came to handle the savings business were lost, and the total amount of nine people who were ready to store was 6,3219,763 morals."

“.”

"According to the above statistics, the total loss of the country this time is 344,106,732 Mora."

These statistics are accompanied by receipts.

It is the kind of document issued by the real Northland Bank, which can be completed by only the signature of the party concerned or the steps of collateralizing the assets.

After reading it.

The corners of Ningguang's mouth twitched slightly.

These are all some kind of compensation claims.

It's just a loss if something is smashed.

The depositors who went to deposit money were scared away by the Millelith Army, and it was barely reasonable to count it as a loss.

But why is it that those who borrow money can also be counted as losses?

If you don't have to explode a foul mouth.

Ningguang was about to curse now.

"Mr. Oedipus, these"

Ningguang didn't finish his words.

Lin Feng immediately stared at her with blazing eyes and said, "Can't pay for it?" ”

Ningguang frowned slightly and said, "It's just this price"

"That's not a loss, right?"

"Okay."

"You can solve it yourself, we won't send troops."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he stepped directly into the air.

Look at his stance.

It turned out that he was going to fly down directly without using the floating stone.

The no-fly formation on the Jade Pavilion had no restrictive effect on him at all.

"Mr. Oedipus, please wait!"

Ningguang hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.

What about jokes.

If this makes people see that someone does not follow the rules of the Jade Pavilion, where will her Tianquan Xing's face be placed.

Moreover, the matter of the black mud of the Strainous Abyss was very important, and it was impossible to let Lin Feng leave so easily.

"Oh?"

"You're ready to lose money again?"

Lin Feng turned around and asked.

There is a big meaning that if you don't agree to the rest of the matter, you don't have to talk about it.

"The compensation above."

Ning Guang hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly: "Yes." ”

Just more than 300 million Mora is nothing.

It's like going out today and losing money on the road.

Ningguang was a little distressed, but he could only comfort himself like this.

At the same time, she sighed in her heart.

This bastard still doesn't play by the same trick as ever.

For this negotiation.

Ningguang had been preparing for a long time how to deal with Lin Feng's nonsense, but he never expected it to be such an opening.

Negotiations have not yet begun.

Hundreds of millions of Mora were lost.

It's a headache.

Ningguang now has an inexplicable bad thought in his heart.

How do you feel that this bastard doesn't care about this negotiation at all?

Doesn't he want to fight for the benefit of Liyue for Solstice?

Seeing that Lin Feng actually knocked the money away from Ningguang so easily.

Keqing and Yelan were also dumbfounded.

Something seems to be going wrong.

The other side.

Lin Feng's face also turned cloudy, and with a smile, he returned to the Jade Pavilion and said, "It's not just over like this." ”

Then he looked around again.

Then he said, "Miss Ningguang, are you going to discuss the affairs of the Chasm right here?" ”

"Of course not."

Ningguang is worthy of being known as a beauty with a thousand faces.

Although Lin Feng was blackmailed with a sum of money at the beginning, she was still able to invite Lin Feng to the reception hall with a smile as usual.

Soon.

When we arrived at the reception hall.

Lin Feng didn't talk to Ning Guang anymore, and directly opened his mouth to be the condition for the Fatui to support the Strata Chasm.

"First, this is not a matter for the Solstice alone, and your Millelith Army in Liyue must join us in sending troops."

"Second, it is forbidden to engage in any hostile acts against the Fatui during the clean-up of the black mud."

"Third, clean me up of the Treasure Hoarders near the Chasm, I don't want to hear about any more Treasure Hoarders attacking supply lines."

"Fourth, the Fatui soldiers have priority in healing, whether in the Chasm or back on the surface of Liyue, giving priority to the deference of your medical resources to our soldiers."

"Fifth."

Seeing that Lin Feng continued to put forward conditions.

Ke Qing couldn't help but speak: "Your conditions are inevitably too many. ”

Lin Feng glanced at her and snorted coldly: "You can not accept it, correspondingly, we will also reduce the intensity of assistance." ”

"Keqing."

At this time, Ningguang also pressed his hand at Keqing and said, "Don't be impatient, listen to Mr. Oedipus." ”

"Hmph."

Keqing was still a little dissatisfied, but didn't speak again.

Seeing that no one bothered me.

Lin Feng continued, "Fifth, the supply lines of the Chasm are under Liyue's sole responsibility. ”

"Sixth, the Fatui will send troops stationed on the Chasm, ready to support the underground."

"Seventh, Liyue is responsible for all of the Fatui's military expenses in the Chasm."

"Eighth, no matter what conflict Liyue has with Solstice, don't interfere with the soldiers under the Chasm, and protect their safety and escort them all out."

"Ninth, after today, we will have an executive stationed here for a long time, responsible for dealing with the transfer of personnel and materials in the Chasm and responding to emergencies at any time."

"Tenth, if the black mud of the Chasm is too filthy to be handled, after all the personnel are withdrawn, we will blow up the Chasm and completely seal the things below with the supreme power of Her Majesty the Empress."

"No, that's all."

"It's time for negotiations."

"For every one of these ten, for every one of you refuses, we will reduce our assistance by one point."

"If they all refuse, the Fatui have the right to refuse to send troops."

That's all that is said and done.

Lin Feng picked up the teacup and drank it to himself, handing over the time for discussion to Ningguang and them.

These ten requirements.

He learned it from a large and arrogant country in his hometown.

It's just that most of his ten points are reasonable requirements.

Only two or three of them are more demanding.

If Ningguang agrees, the Fatui will be able to station a large army in Liyue without paying a penny.

Of course.

There are also conditions that are deliberately made up to make things difficult for Liyue.

For example, the last one blew up the Chasm.

The Chasm is Liyue's largest mining area.

The Seven Stars of Liyue are absolutely reluctant to destroy this place completely.

There are also requests to garrison troops on the Chasm, Liyue's Millelith and Fatui soldiers to clean up the filth, and Liyue to maintain supply lines.

It can be said that almost all of the work on the ground is given to Liyue.

Not only did the Fatui have to arrange a garrison in such an important place as Stratum, but they also want Liyue to work together on the ground and underground.

As for Liyue's condition of being in charge of military spending.

On the contrary, Lin Feng thought that Ningguang was the most likely thing to agree to.

Because this is the only thing that can be fished in the Fatui when they enter the Chasm.

And the oil and water in it are not ordinarily large.

As for where is the oil and water?

When it comes to providing military funds for the Fatui, it certainly won't be done by one of the Seven Stars of Liyue alone, nor will it be the Seven Stars out of their own pockets.

The ironclad amount they used was the taxes paid by the people of Liyue.

That is, money reserves similar to those of the national treasury.

Let's take an analogy.

Suppose a sack of grain has a market price of 1,000 morahs.

Then in the hands of the Liyue Seven Stars, who are responsible for providing military expenses, the offer will become 3,000 Mora, 5,000 Mora, or even 10,000 Mora.

In this way, the money comes even faster than the robbery.

Moreover, Liyue Seven Stars is powerful and powerful, and they are not afraid of anyone to investigate, so the big deal is that it will be wiped out.

As for whether it's a shame or not.

Tut.

Lin Feng felt.

In the face of such huge benefits, no businessman can resist the temptation.

Even Ningguang may hold this business firmly in his own hands, not giving others a chance to get involved.

is different from the forest wind where the old god is there.

On the other side, Ningguang and Keqing had become more and more intensely discussed.

As Lin Feng expected.

Some of the conditions are too harsh.

Even if the power of Ningguang is monstrous, he doesn't dare to agree to it all.

Over time.

Keqing's voice became weaker and weaker, and Ningguang's words became stronger and stronger.

Until Keqing stopped talking.

Ningguang cleared his throat and spoke, "The Millelith can be responsible for protecting the supply lines, but they won't go underground with the Fatui. ”

"The right to preferential treatment is impossible."

"The Fatui garrison, impossible."

"Your executive is based in Liyue Harbor, so it won't work."

"If Liyue and Solstice are to have a diplomatic conflict, there are too many variables for me to guarantee that it won't affect the soldiers beneath the Chasm."

"And no matter what happens, the Chasm must not be destroyed, and if there is a day when the filth cannot be suppressed, our Rock Emperor of Liyue will take action, and there is no need to bother the Empress of Ice."

To sum it up.

That is, Ningguang only agreed to four of them.

However, she did not refuse to provide military spending.

Although refusing to garrison the Solstice would have lost a lot of oil and water, Ningguang would not dare to do such a big thing even if he wanted to make money again.

Moreover, relying on the newly established supply line under the Strata Chasm, this is also a large profit point, and it is not as eye-catching as the military expenditure of the garrison.

It's just that Keqing's face has always been gloomy.

Especially when it comes to the Emperor of the Rocks.

Her face was even more unnatural to the extreme.

After Ningguang finished speaking.

He waited there with a solemn face.

Lin Feng knocked on the table and said resolutely, "I don't care what variables you have, even if the battle between Solstice and Liyue starts today, the soldiers under the Chasm have to be guaranteed to evacuate safely." ”

"This."

"It's my bottom line."

Hear the 'bottom line' in Lin Feng's mouth.

Ningguang was stunned.

Keqing was stunned.

Yelan looked even more incredulous.

She has been engaged in intelligence all year round.

I know best the style of the Fatui.

Almost every executive is a profit-oriented person, and when his subordinates are useless, all that awaits them is abandonment.

Not to mention.

In the event of a diplomatic conflict between the two countries, it is impossible to let those elites who can fight the Abyss go back and become enemies of Liyue.

This Troy Schneitzvich, no, Oedipus.

Is his bottom line of negotiation because he is reluctant to let these elite soldiers go?

And he came up to have a showdown, which is the bottom line

It also means that as long as he agrees to this condition, Lin Feng will not mention other conditions.

When did this bastard talk so well?

At the negotiating table.

No matter what the three of them were thinking at the moment.

Lin Feng began to drink tea again with a calm demeanor.

In fact, there is no complicated idea of this condition at all.

Just because he couldn't bear to see those soldiers die in vain.

The Fatui executive in charge of The Chasm has been replaced by Rooster Puccinera.

What this old thing is best at is mobilizing in front of the station and drawing flatbread.

Lin Feng had no doubts.

Under Puccinera's incendiary speeches, the soldiers who came to the Chasm must have come with the idea of becoming heroes.

They are not afraid of death.

They are loyal to the country they love dearly.

They longed for that unattainable glory.

They want to be the heroes of the darkness that Liyue calls for suppression.

In their eyes.

The upcoming expedition has nothing to do with any calculations and intrigues, but just another battle against the Scourge of Darkness.

These soldiers who are full of enthusiasm and are born and die for their ideals make Lin Feng always think of the ancestors in his hometown who died tragically in a foreign country for the ideals of his family and country.

It's too much of a resemblance.

It's like Lin Feng has the idea of wanting to save them at all costs.

These innocent soldiers came to Liyue to be the heroes of their dreams, not to die alone in the darkness of the earth because of their intrigues.

"The conflict between the upper echelons is a matter for the upper echelons, and it has nothing to do with the soldiers who were born and died for you Liyue."

"Understood?"

"If you don't understand, I'll inform Harlequin Liyue of its unilateral rejection of any form of military assistance."

"I believe that Emperor Rock and his old man will not blame me."

Lin Feng did not shy away from pointing out the possible mischiefs between Liyue and the upper Solstice.

At the same time, he once again pointed out his position.

What he said was also a tone that could not be refused.

Because Liyue needs Solstice's help to deal with the black mud filth beneath the Chasm.

And this.

It is Lin Feng's confidence in this negotiation.

Ningguang stared at Lin Feng, who had an unusually resolute attitude.

This time, there is no need to discuss it with Keqing.

After a moment of contemplation, she replied, "Yes, if that day happens, I will let your people leave the Chasm safely." ”

"Good."

Lin Feng nodded.

Then he turned cold and warned, "Don't think of doing anything to our soldiers in secret. ”

"If any of the soldiers who go to the Chasm to clean up the black mud and filth of the Chasm, sworn by Her Majesty the Noble Ice Empress, are innocently killed by the malice of your Liyue people, I will take revenge on you Liyue at all costs."

Ningguang's careful thinking was pierced at once.

In particular, Lin Feng also swore in the name of the Ice God.

If the things he was thinking about were really discovered by him, then it would really become a situation of endless death.

But she was only shocked in her heart, and said quietly on the surface, "Here are the conditions of our Liyue. ”

"First, the soldiers under the Chasm need to report their whereabouts to us on time."

"Second, any of your supply arrangements and personnel transfers must be reported to us in advance, and we have the right to refuse to provide supplies if there are illegal covert operations."

"Third, we will send officers to follow your underground troops, but we will not fight with you."

"Fourth."

Ningguang wasn't done yet.

Seeing Lin Feng shaking his hand impatiently: "Don't talk about it." ”

"We're not sending troops, you can solve it yourself."

"There is so much nonsense to help you send troops to solve the troubles of the abyss."

"What do you think of our solstice?"

"Dogs?"

"Come as soon as you call, linger away!"

"Hmph, isn't your Lord Rock capable of it? Then let him deal with the black mud of the Chasm! ”

"I will not be accompanied, and I will take my leave."

In the incredulous eyes of the staring eyes.

Lin Feng is really gone.

I walked away without any delay.

Didn't look back.

Looking back at this negotiation that did not look like a negotiation.

Ningguang has been preparing for a verbal battle with Lin Feng.

As a result, without saying a word, he agreed to those conditions that did not benefit the solstice in the slightest.

Only one requirement was retained, which was to protect the safety of the Fatui soldiers.

It can be regarded as seeking a little benefit for the solstice.

However, he didn't try to take advantage of the negotiation to ask for more benefits for Solstice, and he didn't even have the patience to listen to Ningguang finish talking about Liyue's terms of cooperation.

The question is.

Isn't negotiation supposed to be about people bidding each other and then bargaining with each other?

He didn't make a counteroffer after this offer, and he didn't allow Ningguang to bid!

Is there such a negotiation?

And isn't he a member of the Ice God?

Instead of asking for benefits for the solstice, but negotiating according to personal temper? Is there such a family?

"Elysia, why are you always knocking on Mikael's status on my side?"

"Oh? Have it? Probably because he was the only lawyer of our time who fought for humanity! He is both the First Lawgiver and a human named Mikael. Well! Absolutely! In response to Mei's question, Ellie just showed a shallow smile.

"What about Mebius?"

"Cut!" The little green girl snorted casually and looked away.

"Who else?" Mei covered her face.

"Pardo?"

"Shishsh...... What! Brother Rob obviously cares about Boss Mikael too! ”

"Get out!"

"Kevin?"

"It's not exactly what you think. He means more to us – a family that agrees to move forward with the future. ”
