Chapter 332: Completely take the initiative

The Bantu people came later than Lu Chengfeng expected.

His wine had been on the table for more than half an hour before Renault belatedly came to visit. This made Lu Chengfeng realize that they had probably talked to Hu Yuanshan in private first. I just don't know, what conditions did Hu Yuanshan promise?

There are the bottom conditions given by the empire, and these members of the mission should not dare to mess around.

Although this matter has little to do with Lu Chengfeng fundamentally, since he took over, he still hopes to do it more beautifully, and smash his own signboard in the province. So, seeing Renault open the tent and come in, he bowed slightly and stretched out his hand to Renault to give in.

Seeing that Lu Chengfeng looked so tidy, and the wine and food on the table didn't move, Renault couldn't help but be a little surprised. His eyes stopped on Lu Chengfeng's face for a second, then he walked over and sat down calmly, picked up the cup and took a sip of wine, smacked his lips and praised it, and then said meaningfully: "Mr. Special Envoy seems to have expected me to come a long time ago." ”

Lu Chengfeng was noncommittal, and replied with a sentence that the donkey's lips were not on the horse's mouth: "The subordinates are not worrying, but they make you laugh." ”

Renaud touched his goatee, laughed dryly, and said, "Indeed, your subordinates seem to be deeply hostile to you, which is a little strange." When I came here just now, I heard people say nonsense, that sword soul and lord were the real envoys, because the mission of the envoy was snatched by you halfway, so you will not be at odds with Mr. Envoy. Is that really the case?"

Lu Chengfeng took a mouthful of food at random, looked up at him when he heard the words, and said, "I'm afraid that Hu Yuanshan told you, and not someone really talking nonsense, right?"

Although his words were questioning, there was no doubt about the tone.

Faced with this question, Renault smiled and said nothing, obviously acquiescing. As for betraying Hu Yuanshan or something, they are all from the empire, and Renault has no psychological pressure at all. He wished that the two sides would be hostile to each other, so that Bantu could reap more benefits.

"So, can you tell me what you really mean?"

Lu Chengfeng was too lazy to continue to engage in a verbal contest with him, and directly pierced the topic.

Seeing the certification on Lu Chengfeng's face, Renault also became serious, put down the wine glass in his hand, sat up straight and said: "Just now, Hu Yuanshan and the Imperial Lord told me that as long as I recognize their status, and at the same time ask the Empire to change the mission candidates on the grounds of incompetence and arrogance, they can give me the following conditions. ”

As he spoke, he pulled a piece of paper from the sleeve of his yellow leather robe.

Suddenly faced with the impact of this news, Lu Chengfeng's face remained unchanged. He calmly picked it up and glanced at it, then put it aside, and knew what to expect.

These people from the Imperial Mission are really simple. Although it is true that there are no conditions for promising to exceed the limit, it is also not concealed, and almost directly throws out the empire's negotiating cards. This condition, because it was privately drafted by the imperial family, would definitely be more than what the Bantu people wanted. They did this to get the Bantu to come forward and pull themselves off the horse!

This kind of behavior is really not unexpected at all.

Lu Chengfeng thought for a while, looked at Renault, and asked, "This should be the condition they gave Bantu in private, why did the leader show it to me?"

Renault was a little surprised by Lu Chengfeng's calmness, in his opinion, if he said such a thing, even if he didn't panic, at least he had to be a little nervous. Why was he still so calm after learning that his position as an envoy might be shaken? If it was disguised, then his acting skills were too good!

Thinking so, he said, "I think it's not our attitude that matters, but the attitude of Mr. Special Envoy." Our people are not interested in internal human disputes, and all they want is supplies to survive the winter and promises to fight the Skasa. If Mr. Special Envoy is willing to make a slight concession on the terms just now, we can take responsibility for our commitment and stand firmly on your side. If there's anything you need to work with, don't hesitate to ask. ”

Lu Chengfeng nodded, but he didn't say what Renault wanted to hear, but said unhurriedly: "Lord Leader, since my nominal subordinates have learned the truth, I can also tell you the truth." The things they prescribe are already the limits given by the empire. No matter how hard you try, we can't give more generous terms. ”

"Is that so?"

Renault looked a little disappointed on his face, but he wasn't very surprised. When he came, he had already guessed this possibility. However, the Bantu people would definitely not give up easily, and he put a look of embarrassment on his face: "As far as my clan is concerned, I actually really want to deal with the envoy. In the previous duel, many of our clan's juniors also highly respected your strength. However, it is difficult for us to do so in the interests of the tribe. If the envoy can't give in a little bit......"

Although he didn't say the latter words, the meaning was very clear. If Lu Chengfeng doesn't take a step back in terms of conditions, they will choose to support Hu Yuanshan and them.

Are the interests of the empire important, or are your own interests important?

Renault's expression clearly wrote such instigation and temptation.

Change to a guy who is not strong-willed, and he will probably be shaken by the words. However, Lu Chengfeng was not moved at all, he sat in front of Renault, the momentum on his body did not change at all, just like a mountain, and said in an unquestionable tone: "The conditions given by Hu Yuanshan are indeed the bottom line of the empire, but this does not mean that we will definitely open this." Lord Chief, I need to emphasize that I am the envoy appointed by the Empire, not Hu Yuanshan!"

As long as he Lu Chengfeng doesn't nod, all the conditions given by Hu Yuanshan are false. It's like a mirror, looking beautiful, it's over when you touch it!

This unimaginably tough undoubtedly embarrassed Renault's face. When he came, he briefly discussed Lu Chengfeng's reaction with Orka, whether it was compromise or fierce, but he didn't expect it to be so tough and not give an inch. While feeling embarrassed in his heart, he continued: "Of course, we Bantu know this. But don't you really think about yourself, even if you don't give in, if the Empire does change the envoy, it won't be able to guarantee that they will let it. ”

"There's one thing I have to tell you!"

Lu Chengfeng leaned forward, pressed on the table, as if announcing some major decision, and said to Renault: "I don't care at all about the position of this envoy - whether you believe it or not!"

How is this possible?

After listening to Lu Chengfeng's words, Renault's subconscious thought was impossible. How could anyone really not be interested in status and fame? However, when he looked at Lu Chengfeng with scrutinizing eyes, he found that the other party's expression was not a little weak, and his eyes dared to look at him firmly, and he did not dodge at all.

Is it true?

Renault's heart began to be suspicious. He quickly realized that Lu Chengfeng probably really didn't care about the position of this envoy. In this world, people who are not interested in status really exist, but people who have no desires and no desires do not. Perhaps, this young man has something that he cares about more, such as the pursuit of the peak realm!

Thinking of this, Renault was also relieved. When a person's strength breaks through the Holy Rank, status, fame, money, and everything have become floating clouds. Even if you don't deliberately pursue it, there will be no shortage of things outside the body.

From a personal point of view, Renault admires Lu Chengfeng very much at this moment. After all, such a young person can be so open-minded, able not to be swayed by external objects, and his future achievements are bound to be limitless. However, standing in the position of the leader of the Bantu tribe, Renaud felt sorry again. One of the most important factors in their desire to exploit the discord within the mission is to provoke Lu Chengfeng's fear of losing his current position. However, Lu Chengfeng didn't care at all, and it would be difficult for them to play.

Why don't you go back and talk to Hu Yuanshan and them?

Although he thought it might not be big, Renault thought about it and felt that he could only find a breakthrough from them. If they put pressure from within the empire in turn, and with the assistance of the Bantu clan, they might be able to get the empire to remove Lu Chengfeng from the position of envoy. In that case, Hu Yuanshan and that lord will take the throne, and everything will be easy to talk about.

However, even his idea was ruthlessly punctured by Lu Chengfeng.

"How do you think I got this envoy position?" Lu Chengfeng looked at him with sharp eyes, half reminding and half knocking: "It's very simple, it is His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince who is supporting me to sit in this position." Hu Yuanshan and them are all small and middle-sized aristocratic families in Kaiyang, and there is not even one of the four families. Just by relying on them, do you think you can turn over my plate? In the end, it is your Bantu's big thing that will be delayed, and it has nothing to do with me!"

When it comes to the fundamental power, Lu Chengfeng's words are not so polite, and he coldly reminded Renault to follow the previous ones honestly and not try to challenge his patience.

"I see. ”

Renault felt his determination and means from Lu Chengfeng's words, and after a moment of silence, he did not make a decision on the spot, but casually found an excuse to get up and say goodbye, obviously to communicate with Orca and them after he returned.

Lu Chengfeng did not force him to express his position immediately, but got up to see off the guests.

From beginning to end, Lu Chengfeng's mentality was calm. The initiative has always been on his side, and Lu Chengfeng is very confident in this!

There was nothing to say this night, and the next day, the high-level leaders of Bantu seemed to have made an appointment, either under the pretext of being unwell, or under the pretext of having an epiphany of vindictiveness, and did not meet Lu Chengfeng. Obviously, the high-level leaders of the Bantu clan have not yet made up their minds, and they also have the intention of drying Lu Chengfeng to see if he can really calm down. On the other side, through the shared vision of the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle in the sky, Lu Chengfeng also saw that Tumon, on behalf of the high-level Bantu, had entered Hu Yuanshan and the lord's tent twice, and the longest time was even more than half an hour. The third time, the Bantu people didn't even deliberately hide their tracks, and deliberately let Lu Chengfeng see it. But he didn't know that this scene fell into Lu Chengfeng's eyes, but it made him completely relieved.
