Chapter 14 Arrivals and Dignitaries
"Who are you?" Although he was wearing bandages, Brigitte still had to stare at the emaciated middle-aged man in front of him.
Baya's sudden death made this originally controversial battle directly present a one-sided trend, and the end of the war was written by the survivors, in this regard, Brigitte was luckier than Baya, but Brigitte did not immediately take over Baya's territory, the reason is because of the person in front of him, the person who suddenly appeared in front of him.
This person was dressed in an ordinary long robe, and his appearance was slightly vicissitudes, even in such a small territory, he had never seen a big scene, and he knew that the person who came was extraordinary, just from the fact that he opened the curtain of the tent and entered, but did not alarm the other guards, this person's force has exceeded his cultivation that can be seen from his appearance. The two guards outside the tent had not made a sound, but through the firelight they could see their straight backs and the slight heaving of their chests, anyway, the young man in front of him should have come with good intentions, otherwise, he didn't know how many times he had died.
"Your Excellency doesn't need to know who I am for a while, for I have only one name, and it seems to you that it is just a number, twelve, and this is my name. After speaking, Twelve slowly spread his hands, and then slowly took two steps and said: "Knowing that Your Excellency has been injured, my master has sent me to visit Your Excellency, and in addition, I will talk to Your Excellency about some business between you and me." ”
Business?
Bridget was speechless for a while, he didn't know what to say, at this time he could talk to himself about business, I am afraid there is no good business, but the other party has enough capital, he and his master know that they are injured, and they can easily enter their own big tent, maybe there are some things that they don't know are not revealed in the other party's hands.
"If the temple wants some benefits, I'm already crippled now, how can I refuse......" After speaking, Brigitte sighed in his heart, seeing that most of the other party is from the temple, and the people above are not easy to come forward, this kind of burdened thing naturally falls on the next person, and now his life is in the hands of the other party, it is useless to say more, it is better to consider his bottom line, and then negotiate with him is the most important thing.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man named Twelve just smiled and shook his head after hearing this, "If you want to be tempted, don't bother in vain, the temple is just a part of my transaction, before that, we can talk about the more important and the issues that you are more concerned about." ”
Do you have a concern?
Bridget was a little baffled, I didn't know what this middle-aged man wanted to say, but one thing was certain, this person was not a temple winner, and it was certain that there was a very large force behind this person, and it was a force that could compete with the temple.
In the Kotler Empire, there can be a force that can compete with the temple, only the royal family, so which representative of the imperial power is this person, how can he be virtuous, and can he get this kind of attention, but now it seems that he can refuse?
The other party said just now, the matter of the temple is also in the transaction, so what is the countermeasure of the other party, Brigitte decided to listen to the words of this middle-aged man.
"The first deal is about your daughter's safety, we..." Before Twelve finished speaking, he saw Bridget's face change, his chest rising and falling violently, obviously shocked by Twelve's words.
"Your Excellency, don't worry, your daughter is very safe, look at the time, she should have arrived safely at your house, but I apologize to you on behalf of my master, at that time our people could only save one, and your eldest daughter was already ...... at that time" Twelve did not continue, but needless to say, Bridget already understood.
"Tell me what happened, how did you save my daughter?" Bridget felt very surprised, this surprise was not because the other party would save his daughter, but because the other party did not use his daughter to blackmail him, I don't know why, Bridget saw sincerity on the face of this middle-aged man named Twelve, his daughter must have gone home as he said, since the other party has shown strength and sincerity, then he can't be stingy.
Twelve knew that this was a sign that Bridget was beginning to let his guard down, so he gave a brief account of what had happened.
At the banquet of Lord Baya, the two young ladies were wary at first, but, because of the persuasion of Madame Baya, both of them were tricked and drank wine with aphrodisiacs, and then, their servants were sent to protect the two young ladies, but during the banquet, they were deliberately separated and then killed one by one. (66)
For some unknown reason, Baya did not directly assault the two young ladies, but put Bridget's youngest daughter in another room.
Because of this, Bridget's youngest daughter was rescued, and Bridget could guess the next thing, but listening to Twelve's words, they seemed to know everything that happened.
"Then there's the second thing, about your injuries, and we're sorry for the fact that we are responsible for ending this senseless war sooner. After saying that, Twelve bowed to Bridget, and the old lord couldn't help but be stunned, he was not a fool, since Twelve said that he was responsible, that is, his injuries were caused by them, and by extension, Baya's death may not be related to them.
Let go of his daughter first, but in front of the seriously injured self said that he wanted to talk about business, this combination of soft and hard, he has no room for maneuver at all, but he does not feel uncomfortable, the other party is a master of negotiation and knows how to take advantage of the situation.
In addition, Bridget also noticed that the other party's intention was simple: to provoke a war between the two lords, but within the controllable range, they needed the winner to have enough power, and they chose themselves, why is that?
Bridget asked bluntly, he knew that the person in front of him had enough right to speak, and he was open-minded enough, and the negotiator should not have this characteristic, but the person in front of him really existed.
"Because you make my little master appreciate it very much, there is no other reason, but if you were to ask why my little master admires you, this twelve can't guess, and I don't dare to guess. "
The old lord frowned but didn't say anything more, it would be unwise to dig deeper into this situation, "Since your little master has chosen to be old, what do you want from me? Since it is a transaction, what do I need to pay?"
Since it is a transaction, then the other party has given the territory under the jurisdiction of a lord to himself in disguise, so he will have to pay the corresponding price, and the other party will explain the benefits so clearly, then what he has to pay should be very clear. 、
"Your Excellency is wise, but don't worry, we only need to ask you for someone to do something that you don't reject. Twelve's words were still calm, so that Brigitte could not find anything to pick out the problem, and it was clear that Twelve's plan was definitely not just one person and one thing.
"Counting, it can be regarded as sending you a person to help you do one thing, but the little master said, I and we will suffer a loss in this matter, so even if it is the trading conditions we proposed, do you have the heart to listen?" Twelve's face finally showed a somewhat strange smile, but Brigitte couldn't see anything, after listening to Twelve's words, Brigitte pointed to his stomach and said: "Do you think I have the ability to deny? Even if I refuse, I'm afraid you will find a way to do this, right?"
Twelve couldn't deny this, Brigitte put on a look of what you said yes, and Twelve hesitated for a moment before saying, "The person we want is your eldest daughter, Miss Jessica." ”
"Jessica, what are you going to do?" Bridget was stunned, this request was really a bit weird, he never thought that the other party would ask Jessica, what were they going to do?
"And then that's what we say you're going to do. ”
Bridget felt that he couldn't keep up with Twelve's mind at all, so he didn't make any other moves other than a blank nod.
"My little master hopes that you can give Miss Jessica a decent wedding, and you want to release it to the public, this is what my little master means, you should be able to understand what my little master means. After saying that, he quietly waited for the old lord to reply.
Bridget immediately understood the other party's request, although it was the price, but this price was the best way to solve the current predicament, especially for his eldest daughter Jessica, who had been defiled by Baya's bastard, this was the best way to save the family's honor, after he arrived at Baya's mansion, he knew that his eldest daughter had been defiled by Baya, and the war ended unexpectedly quickly, plus he was seriously injured, and the eldest daughter Jessica came to see him once, but at that time his state and his daughter's state were not very good, and he ordered his subordinates to be firmly optimistic about her, Brigitte began to think of a solution to his daughter's dilemma, and now this sudden appearance of the twelve and the little master behind him have already come up with it for themselves, and it is a very wonderful way
Who is the little master in the twelve, and why should he think about himself everywhere? Bridget suddenly had a frightened thought, as if all this was in the hands of the little master whom the twelve called him, and the means and calculations of this kind of planning were beyond his imagination.
"Then who are you going to send?" Bridget was a little curious, after all, even if his daughter had ruined her innocence, she was still his daughter after all, and her future was also his responsibility, if there was no suitable candidate, the old lord would rather lack than abuse.
"If you don't dislike it, then after today, I'll have to call you father-in-law, I don't know, are you satisfied?" said Twelve, still smiling.
