Chapter 352: One More Duel......
The development of things was not as Tang En expected, and after Ronald put forward the conditions, he saw that Josia was strongly opposed, and while dealing with it at the negotiation table, he sent someone to report the situation to the second highness in the capital.
This was originally done in secrecy, but unexpectedly Philip overheard it, and then invited him to listen to it.
I have to say that Philip, a double spy, is indeed extraordinary. If there is no Philip in this negotiation of the new nobles, I dare not say that there is no progress at all, but it will definitely not be as smooth and fast as it is now. But after this secret operation was stabbed by Philip, Josia no longer had a psychological burden on his side, and he talked about the conditions when he should talk about them, and he scolded them all rightly when it came to the army. As soon as this side is strong, Ronald and they are naturally a little bottomless in their hearts, and under the promise, they wonder if the other party has any hole cards that have not been played...... It's really Philip, and it's Philip who loses!
Just to spread the news, this speed is naturally not comparable to when the noble negotiation team comes, and with the identity of Ronald and others, there is no problem with using the teleportation array. About a week later, when the terms of both sides were almost all agreed, the new nobles finally received instructions from the capital.
The specific content of Don naturally does not know, although Philip is also a member of the new aristocracy, but Ronald and others have recently begun to doubt him, and they are very tight.
Fortunately, when the two sides met once, Ronald and others finally opened up.
The general meaning is that this stage of negotiations belonging to the two sides has ended, and they will then rush to the 100,000 Mountains with this side to meet with Luo Sha for final negotiations. If it goes well. The agreement will be initialled on the spot.
After hearing this. Josia and several other high-level executives are full of mixed feelings. It can't be said that the dust has settled, but the big stone in my heart has finally been put down smoothly.
This negotiation is not known to the world, but that in no way does that mean it is not significant. On the side of the aristocratic negotiating team, although they also attach great importance to this negotiation, because of the status of the Gray Army, the degree of importance will definitely not be too high, after all, this is not an agreement between Bran and the Northern Wilderness.
But this negotiation is a challenge and pressure for Josia and others. They have the trust of the leader of Losha. There are the expectations of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians of the Gray Army, and there are hundreds of thousands of comrades who have fought bloodily for more than ten years...... If it weren't for the times, they wouldn't be able to talk about it, and they wouldn't be able to afford to lose.
Now that they finally have a satisfactory result, I believe that if it weren't for the special environment and they didn't want to lose their temper in front of Ronald and others, they would definitely look up to the sky and howl, hug their heads and cry......
......
The meeting was at noon, but the departure time was set for tomorrow morning.
This is also normal, Josia can pack up and set off here. But the negotiating team is much more complicated, after all, they have been entertained by the local nobles for so long. It is reasonable to hold a party and say hello.
Naturally, Josia's side will not refuse, and they will also hold a party, a celebration party.
Needless to say, the night's cellar was completely emptied. Josia was also drunk in front of everyone for the first time, of course, her alcohol consumption was not good, but after only a few glasses, she was already full of red clouds, drunkenly pulling Don who couldn't cry and laugh to dance in the tavern hall.
Tang En is not drunk, this is not to say how good he is in drinking, there are quite a few people in the secret agency of Mountain Creek City, one person has a glass, even the wine fairy has to lie down. He just played a small trick, and the wine that seemed to be drunk was actually in the water bladder on the cuff. Sort of, but Don doesn't care, as long as it's not in a safe place, he can't get drunk, well, this is a killer's professional ethics......
Of course, not everyone has Donn's means, or they all have no lower limit. After getting drunk, Don En saw the drunkenness of everyone, and Div and a few other young high-level people patted him on the shoulder for a while, and solemnly said that Josia handed it to him, and they were relieved to wait. That tone was like a father's marriage to his daughter's jiashi, and Tang En touched his nose and rolled his eyes when he heard it. After a while, he howled and cried, and the wailing old man couldn't see this scene......
The people sitting here were a few high-ranking officials of the secret agency, and Enoch was also drunk, so he lay down early and shouted no. However, according to Donn's observation, he should not be drunk, at least he is definitely sane.
To be honest, Donne's suspicions about him have not dissipated, and when he interrogated Alex's butler that day, he also asked about the traitor, and the answer he got was that he did give a thousand gold coins, but there was no such thing as an ice flame volcano, let alone a murder.
However, this suspicion is just speculation, there is no actual evidence, and of course Don will not kill people like this, after all, Enoch's status and role in the secret agency are still very important. So Zuihou just mentioned this matter to Josia and asked her to pay more attention......
That night, Don En didn't rest immediately, but chose to stay outside Enoch's room for a while, but the other party didn't take advantage of this good opportunity to make trouble, and Zuihou had to give up and leave.
......
The next morning, Donn, Josia, and several high-ranking officials of the secret agency waited outside the city for the belated noble negotiation team, and the team merged and marched to the 100,000 mountains.
As soon as everyone here left the city, dozens of kilometers away from the north city gate, there was a group of people coming towards Shanxi City.
Standard armor, standard weapons...... Such a costume, as long as someone looks at it for a moment, it can be determined that it is a group of garrison cavalry. If you have sharp eyes and see the exact same mark on the horse's rump, you will even guess that they are from Mountain Creek City.
In fact, these people are the Shanxi City garrison cavalry who were sent to the neighboring city to investigate the case by an order. As for the first two, they are Bowes and Bernie.
After killing those men in black at the hotel ten days ago, the two of them hurried out of the city to meet with their men. After all, it is certain that the order was given by some big person, and since the matter has been settled, of course they cannot continue to offend.
When the horses' hooves were full of hooves, when they reached a three-way intersection, Powes raised his palms and motioned for everyone behind him to stop on the side of the road and dismount to rest.
"It's almost time to get to Mountain Creek City. Bernie took a sip of the water bladder and threw it to Bowes, "I don't know if those capital nobles have left." ”
Bowes took it and looked up: "It's almost time...... Gollum ......"
Although they were not in Shanxi City, they had explained some things to the cavalry when they left, so after receiving the news that the nobles were leaving yesterday, they rushed back this morning.
"I'll come back before the case is done...... Are you sure that order has something to do with these nobles?"
"Tsk!" Directly wiped the water stains on his mouth with his sleeve, and Bowes said nonchalantly, "Sure it's a ghost, I think it's what Alex ordered...... But this has nothing to do with us, I've been suffocated for more than ten days, as long as they leave, we won't have a problem going back to Shanxi City. As for what kind of case it is, it's all fucking a few decades ago, and now it is estimated that only the God of Light knows. ”
"Ha......" Bernie chuckled and nodded when he heard this, did not deny it, and then looked behind him, his expression moved, and he pouted, "We didn't gain anything this time, nay, didn't we catch an interesting thief too." ”
Hearing this, Bowes also looked at the back, and then handed the water bladder back to Bernie, with a somewhat solemn expression: "It's really interesting...... Like I told you before, I still doubt that he should know the mole we worked with. ”
After a pause, he continued, "Such a perfect disguise is rare, and it has a familiar feeling. Well, I've only seen it on that mole. ”
"I trust your judgment. Bernie nodded, then raised an eyebrow, "If that's the case, what are you going to do?"
Rubbing his red nose, Bowes's only remaining right eye narrowed slightly, "If it's really as I think...... So I took him as bait and brought the mole here. I'm going to fight him again. ”
"Sure?"
"Well...... Not really. After thinking about it seriously, Bowes finally shook his head and shrugged his shoulders, "Bernie, you also know his record, the ground-level martial artists and the space department great magicians joined forces and failed to kill him, and Zuihou was also killed by him alone...... Anyway, I still have to try! After killing the mole for so many years, in addition to the ghost face before, there is only one thing left that can bring me excitement. ”
"Tsk, no matter how you sound it, it's like looking for death......"
If I die at his hands, it will be the best destination in my life. If he dies at my hand, well, it will also be his destiny...... Well, I'll go and ask the thief again, and try to pry his mouth open as soon as possible. ”
