Chapter 969: Robbery Negotiation (One More Chapter)
After a few days, the wind was calm.
In the morning, the north gate of the town. Tang En sat casually on a bluestone pier a few feet square by the road, supporting his knees with one hand, holding his chin, his brows furrowed slightly, and the slight cold wind blowing the broken hair in front of his forehead, motionless, like a stone statue on the town square at this time. Although his eyes looked far away, his eyes obviously did not have any focus, and he was stunned to think.
From the early investigation to the subsequent arrival of the Bran construction team, and now waiting for Josia and the others to officially arrive with the Bran negotiation team, Don has led the gray space to stay in this town for a whole week, and also checked the time for a week, but until now, the bad premonition in his heart is still there, but he still hasn't found any problems.
There was no sign of danger at all.
His expression was unmoved, but his heart was extremely irritable. The means that should not be used have been exhausted, and Tang En thinks that he has done the security matter to the extreme. It is no exaggeration to say that he has stepped on every inch of land in this tightly controlled town behind him, and he has gone in to check every building, and he is almost three feet away from digging into the ground, but in the end he still found nothing......
Not only in the town, but within thirty miles of the outskirts of the town, a carpet search has been carried out, not to mention that there may be a Bran army, or even low-level demonic beasts with some damage ability have been killed.
Don't look at the mountains and rivers here now, the wind and waves are calm. In fact, the elite cavalry of the gray-clothed army with bows and swords out of their sheaths in the surrounding hills were ready for battle, and in the event of any abnormal situation, they could rush to the group to surround the town in a moment. Or meet the enemy after the break and ensure the safe evacuation of the people in the town. In this way, the danger of a surprise attack that could come from outside the town is ruled out.
Inside and outside the town. All imaginable means of attack, sources of danger, and so on are taken into account. But why hasn't the danger instinct stopped...... All right. Sometimes Don feels that he is too careful, too much thinking, and has obsessive-compulsive disorder, otherwise how can he explain the current situation?
"Boss. In the distance, with a loud shout, David strode forward. Without turning his head, Don said calmly: "Bran negotiating team has arrived?"
"Yes, through the South Gate. That pomp and circumstance - tsk, worthy of the second prince of the empire, I looked at those purebred white horses pulling carts. It's worth dozens of purple-bore cannons......"
Smacking his lips, David couldn't help but shake his head in envy, and his expression, including his body movements, interpreted the true meaning of the word sling. Then he sat down beside Don with a big grin, squinting into the distance, "Haven't they arrived yet, Chief?"
"The winner, of course, has to play in the finale...... It's almost there, another quarter of an hour will be almost. Donn's posture remained unchanged, and he replied casually.
Seeing this, David scratched his head: "Boss, do you still think there is a problem here?" The gray space is naturally infinitely trusting and loyal to Tang En. This week, it was precisely because of Don's intuition that David and the others did not close their eyes for several days and nights.
Shake oneβs head. "I don't know, but nine times out of ten in this negotiation, Bran's side is tired of playing tricks. β
"Ugh. Why do you say that?"
Don pondered for a moment and then spoke: "Do you remember that Josia did not accept the canonization of the Cardinal Archbishop of the Temple, and this side and Bran had a stalemate over it? What was the result? A week later, Bran simply agreed with Josia's opinion...... There is a problem with the change of attitude, and there must be a demon when things go wrong. And one week is enough time to set up too many conspiracies!"
"So what now? Negotiations are about to begin. Donn's speculation is just speculation, and there is no actual evidence to support it. However, although it had been investigated for a whole week, David and the others did not waver in their judgment of Tang En, and when they heard this, they followed the train of thought and said directly, "Or, let's change the negotiation location temporarily?" Anyway, it's just to sign an agreement, and I don't dare to have any opinions on the side of Forgiveness." β
"It's too late. Don waved his hand lightly and pointed behind him, "You didn't see the grand meeting in the center of town, if we change the negotiation location temporarily, Bran is afraid that there will be something to say again...... Of course we don't care about gossip, but it's about the reputation that the Grey Army has managed to build up - we can't lose it!"
"Your mother......" David hated the hammer and was depressed.
The reason is this reason, if the gray army is still in the initial stage of pulling the team, then the reputation will be bad, and it can be made up for later. Or if the Grey Army develops to be as old and powerful as the Bran Empire, then whether the reputation is bad or not is just scratching the itch in the boots, and there is no need to care too much. But now the Gray Army is in a new period of new construction after some achievements, and it can't afford the slightest turmoil, and it can't afford to be hit by a bad reputation. So even if you know that there is a pit ahead, you can only grit your teeth and step through it!
After a long silence, Don took a breath and got up: "Okay, let's not talk about this for the time being." Josia, they're coming, you go and bring a reminder to Harry and Luke, and tell them to be sure to control the venue, and act according to the plan we have deployed before, and don't be sloppy!"
"Don't worry, boss. David nodded heavily, turned and walked away quickly.
At this moment, Tang En squinted his eyes and looked up at the herald who was rushing back in the distance, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised slightly: "Heh, interesting, I want to see what tricks you can play this time......
Shaking his head, it is useless to think about it when it comes to the present. Don quickly adjusted his mental state, regained his relaxed appearance, and walked over to meet the rushing herald......
......
The herald is a signal that Josia and the others have arrived on the outskirts of the town.
Sure enough, after a while, bursts of billowing smoke and dust rose in the distance in the field of vision, and then the faint sound of horses' hooves drifted in the wind, and a team of more than 100 knights hurried towards the north gate of the town.
The first horse was dressed in a pure white coat, and the back of the horse rolled coldly, who was not Josia? There were also familiar faces on the side, Frey, Ferry, and a high-ranking old man of the gray-clothed army, like the stars holding the moon, surrounded Josia in the middle, the horsewhip was flying, the sound of hooves was rapid, and the end was magnificent.
After a general glance, all the high-ranking people in the gray army who could rank up were here. After all, it is such an important moment, and it is so profound that no one wants to miss it as long as they can come. Seeing this, Tang En suddenly had a strange thought in his heart - if something really went wrong later, the superstructure of the Gray Army would be wiped out......
Shook his head, throwing away this ridiculous black humor. Don strode up to meet him, looking at Josia and the others who came to the nearest place to tighten the reins and reduce the buffer momentum, all of them had a happy look and were overjoyed.
stepped forward to help Josia and chuckled, "Hehe, I'm very happy, it seems that this negotiation has taken a lot of advantage." β
"Yes, everything you can take is taken!" Josia replied proudly with his chin raised. But the next moment, he couldn't hold back, sneered, and sighed with emotion, "Since I joined the Gray Army, I have negotiated with Bran three times before and after, and this time it was the easiest, and the robbery was also fought with confidence! β
"Haha, that's right, that's the feeling of robbery. On the side, Frey casually threw away the reins and took over the conversation with a laugh, "Let's start the negotiation terms with the lion opening our mouth, and then we want to wait for the other party to bargain, and then throw out the real price of the compromise." Unexpectedly, except for a few conditions, the rest didn't take any time to say anything, and the other party agreed lightly, which made us regret it for a while. Ha ha...... What I didn't say, one word, cool!"
"Hehe, then go to the town to rest and sign the agreement accurately. Tang En also greeted everyone with a smile, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since the benefits are coming, then you have to give the other party some face." After all, the biggest injustice is the biggest. β
"Haha...... This makes sense, the biggest injustice is ......"
I can see that everyone is in a good mood, and of course, this is inevitable. It's not just the benefits of robbery in the negotiation, but the most important thing is the irrepressible sense of accomplishment in my heart!
Bran Empire - Grey Army -
Although there have been many analogies, I still have to say that there is really no comparison between the two, the former is like a majestic mountain range, and the latter is like a small ant crawling this majestic mountain range. And now, with a wave of its slender legs, the tiny ant has kicked over the majestic mountains - a great achievement that makes the body and mind tremble and the scalp tingle!
As he led everyone into the town while talking and laughing, Don quietly pulled Josia over and lowered his voice: "Remember, no matter what happens later, don't stay three feet away from me." β
Josia couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, but she instantly returned to her normal expression, but the corners of her mouth smiled slightly, and she said in a low voice: "Something?"
"There can be a problem. Rest assured, I will always be there for you. β
"Yes. β
Josia nodded lightly and didn't say anything more, just squeezed Donn's palm a little harder, and then let go. Tang En smiled back with peace of mind, and then made a slight mistake in his steps, approaching the commander of the army, Frey, and the logistics director of the military department, Fei Rui, and also whispered a few words......
A qiΔ was done inadvertently without alarming anyone. Even the high-ranking generals of the Gray-clothed Army, who were close at hand, were excited and excited, but they didn't notice this detail at all.
This is the so-called difference between intimacy and intimacy, Tang En has no contradiction with these high-level generals, and he talks very happily when he meets, and the relationship is good. But if you really want to count it, it is naturally Josia, Frey, and Ferry who are the closest to each other.
So, it's not good. If there is a real problem in the meeting venue, Tang En will save only these three people in the first place. As for the rest, I'm sorry, and I can only see if there is a suitable time to make a move......
......
At this point,
Just as Josia and the others stepped into the north gate of Red Maple Town, more than 100 kilometers away, in a large urban teleportation tower, a slightly bloated figure with a spear in hand stepped out of the door, raised his head, looked at the bleak sun hanging obliquely in the sky, squinted and pursed his lips: "It's finally here." β
After a slight pause, he waved his hand to the dozens of knights who followed him with solemn faces and ordered, "Determine the location of that temporary small teleportation array, and then find horses for each of us, and then we have to rush at full speed......"
"Horseback riding, but your body ...... my lord."
Waving his hand, "It's okay, I know it in my heart, I won't ask ......" The words were sudden, slightly bloated and trembling, subconsciously lowering his hand to caress his lower abdomen, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "You can't wait, right? Hehe, okay, then let's go and save that bastard guy together......"
