Chapter XXI: Negotiations
Qinglong World, Baina City, the front hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
After the dragon team withdrew from the Nancheng Square, they went straight to the city lord's mansion, and after settling Dabi's clansmen, Ao Donghai took Chenxiao and his party to the front hall. Ge Mao'an, Yun Xiao and the others were arranged in the guest room because they were still unconscious, and they did not come with them.
At this time, in addition to Ao Donghai and the other three dragon clan elders in the main hall, it was the dragon clan patriarch Chen Zhan, Chen Xiao, Ao Jitian and Chen Bing and others.
Chen Xiao looked at this splendid hall with carved dragons and phoenixes, and only felt very ironic, he knew that the living environment of the dragon clan in the outside world was not poor, but it was extremely simple, on the other hand, the dragon clan relics in this green dragon world were extremely luxurious, extravagant.
Standing in the middle of the main hall, Chen Xiao, dressed in gray coarse linen clothes, was slightly shabby, and there was a somewhat worn sachet hanging around his waist, which was a little out of place with the style of this hall, but he himself looked neither humble nor arrogant, very light and light, but Chen Bing and Ao Jitian, who were standing on the side, looked a little nervous and a little cramped.
At this time, Ao Donghai, who was sitting above the main hall, and the three elders and Chen Zhan who were sitting on his left and right respectively, did not open their mouths to ask, but kept looking at Chen Xiao with interest, hoping to see something in him, but the result was that they were a little disappointed.
Although Chen Xiao looks delicate and has a very free and easy temperament, she seems to lack a superior temperament in her bones, and she is a little ...... Some don't look like people from the dragon royal family, more precisely, like a Terran scholar who lives at home all the year round. In fact, they didn't guess wrong, Chenxiao's soul originally belonged to the human race, but it was just reincarnated into the dragon clan in this life.
Chen Xiao did not shy away from the many eyes projected on the main hall, but always kept smiling, and looked at them at the same time.
After two lives, he still has a good understanding of human psychology, and in the current situation, he naturally knows what the other party is thinking.
It's nothing more than trying to see where you come from, but ...... This is destined to disappoint them. Although the Great Elder seemed to know something, it should be very limited.
After a while, Chen Xiao didn't want to pretend to be mysterious anymore, after all, his participation in the big competition itself was to raise his value, and at the same time the purpose of contacting the high-level of the dragon clan here, now that the purpose has been reached, naturally there is no need to hide it all.
I saw Chenxiao take a step forward, thought for a while, and then took the initiative to speak, "Because of my impure blood, I was placed under house arrest by my father since I was a child, and I didn't enter this Qinglong world by mistake until some time ago. ”
When a few people present heard Chen Xiao take the initiative to speak, they thought that he would first say some kind words such as thanking the elders for their rescue, or false words to hide his identity. They never expected that this Chen Xiao would reveal his true origin when he opened his mouth.
For a while, the entire hall became a little dull, and the expressions of everyone present became extremely strange.
Ao Donghai was smiling, the other three elders and Chen Zhan were stunned, but Ao Jitian and Chen Bing were shocked.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand the performance of several people, the reason why Ao Donghai smiled was because he probably understood Chenxiao's situation, and the reason why the three elders and Chen Zhan were shocked was that they didn't understand why Chenxiao was under house arrest since he was a child. Finally, there are Ao Jitian and Chen Bing, they don't know the specific situation of the Qinglong world, and they have never heard of anyone from the outside world coming in, at first glance they will be shocked when they hear Chen Xiao say that he is from the outside world.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Chen Xiao nodded slightly, very satisfied with this result. At this time, he already roughly knew how well the few people present knew about him. Then he bowed and said, "Great Elder, if there is anything you want to ask, you can ask." ”
The reason why Chen Xiao said this, and didn't say that everyone wanted to ask anything, was actually for the purpose of wanting to take the rest away, and there were some things he didn't want everyone to know.
Ao Donghai has lived for two or three hundred years, so he naturally knows the meaning of Chenxiao's words, so he has no choice but to smile helplessly, and let the other three elders and Ao Jitian and Chenbing retreat first.
Chen Bing and Ao Jitian are okay, the great elder naturally does not dare to disobey if he has a fate, but the other three elders feel a little lost face, and when they left the scene, they all blew their beards and glared, and looked at Chen Xiao with an unkind face, as if to say, this stinky boy will not even give the old man face.
Chen Xiao raised his head high, pretending not to see anything, although he had already offended, but he couldn't show that it was too obvious.
After a long time, seeing that only Ao Donghai and Chen Zhan were left above the main hall, Chen Xiao nodded with satisfaction, looked at the two people above the main hall, and at the same time put on an expression of "If you want to ask, just ask".
Chen Zhan couldn't cry or laugh at Chenxiao's play, but he could only shake his head helplessly. Ao Donghai smiled and looked at Chenxiao with some appreciation, as if he was very satisfied with Chenxiao's cautious approach.
"You're smart. Ao Donghai suddenly spoke, although his voice was old but very soft, and his eyes at Chenxiao also revealed a trace of love, as if he was looking at his closest junior.
Although Chenxiao was thick-skinned enough, he still felt a little embarrassed when he was praised in front of him, raised his hand and scratched the dragon's horns, and said with some embarrassment, "The Great Elder has raised his love." ”
"When you were still shy? ha. Ao Donghai laughed out loud when he saw Chenxiao's expression, he had paid attention to him since Chenxiao first appeared on stage, and he knew Chenxiao's character very well, this kid was very handsome and handsome on the surface, but in fact he was a scheming and very thick black master.
"Where, where. Hearing Ao Donghai ridiculing himself, Chen Xiao could only respond with a wry smile, who told him that he had to seek help from the other party to leave this Qinglong world. Since there is a request for others, this posture obviously cannot be placed too high.
"Let's get down to business. Ao Donghai suddenly changed his words and became serious, "The affairs of the Qinglong World should be clear when you get the Qinglong Jian, and this trip to Qinglong Mountain is the key to truly controlling the Qinglong Jian, what are you going to do." ”
Hearing Ao Donghai ask himself this, Chen Xiao was not surprised.
The Qinglong World has existed for tens of thousands of years, and the reason why the dragon clan relics in it have been guarding here is because of the idea of unifying the hundred clans. And now that the Qinglong Jian was obtained by Chenxiao, and at the same time entered this space, then at this time, the opportunity of the dragon clan came.
The reason why Ao Donghai asked this was because he wanted Chenxiao to open his mouth, admit and resist this burden. But Chen Xiao obviously wouldn't say that, and he wouldn't do it.
The second human (dragon) he, after this big competition, guessed that by controlling this Qinglong Mountain, he could really get the Qinglong Jian. Merely...... Chenxiao just wants to live happily now, and doesn't want to be a victim of the great cause of the unification of the dragon clan.
He had some ideas in his heart, he wanted to change the pattern of the outside world, so he enveloped Yunxiao, and the next step was to subdue Ge Maoan and others, but that was after all.
Chen Xiao knew in his heart that although he had hills and valleys in his heart, his current strength was really limited, and if he really responded to this matter, it was estimated that he would only be more auspicious and less lucky, and he would die without life. All I want now is to get out of here and get away from this troubled place.
After a deep sigh, Chen Xiao spoke, "As a member of the Dragon Clan, I naturally put the interests of the Dragon Clan first, but my current strength is still not good, how can I complete such a great task?"
Speaking of this, he put on a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, and continued, "If I go to the Hui tribe to explain this matter to my father, my father will definitely use the strength of the whole clan to help me, I believe that in a few years, I will be able to increase my strength greatly, and then enter Qinglong Mountain, I will definitely succeed in one fell swoop, so as to help the dragon clan complete the great cause of unification." ”
This set of rhetoric was thought of by Chen Xiao on the way to the City Lord's Mansion, which not only reflected his deep understanding of righteousness, but also expressed his thoughts that he didn't want to go, although he knew that he might not be able to succeed in convincing the other party, but he still said it.
With Ao Donghai's experience and experience, how could he not see Chenxiao's careful thoughts, and when he heard Chenxiao's words, he just smiled and nodded, as if he was thinking about something, and did not express his position.
Chen Zhan didn't say anything, he was a member of the royal family and the current patriarch of the dragon clan, but the real person in charge of the clan was the great elder Ao Donghai, and at this time, he could only sit on the sidelines and watch the game between the old and the young in front of him.
At this time, Chenxiao was even more fearless, he knew that he would definitely not be able to bluff the old fox in front of him, but so what, could the other party force himself to fail? or slaughter himself? The answer is definitely not. After all, it took tens of thousands of years to produce such a royal Qinglong bloodline, and if he died, the other party might not even have a place to cry.
Chen Xiao has opened a company in his last life, although he is the owner of a bankrupt company, but he knows a lot about the doorway in the negotiation, that is, who holds the initiative on both sides of the game, which means that he has the right to speak. Obviously, at this time, Chen Xiao has the right to take the initiative.
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall became a little solemn, although Chen Xiao was not afraid of Ao Donghai in front of him, but the oppression of the opponent's superior breath and strength still made a trace of sweat appear on his forehead.
After a while, Ao Donghai finally sighed and said, "If you have any requirements, just say it." But......" He paused, his eyes suddenly sharpening, "Qinglong Mountain must be visited, and at the same time you must gain control of it. ”
Hearing Ao Donghai speak, breaking the silence that had lasted for a long time, Chen Xiao first breathed a sigh of relief, and then his heart was a pang, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that he still can't escape. He also knows that although he has the right to speak, the final decision is not in his hands.
The matter has come to this point, Chen Xiao can only accept it helplessly, it is okay to refuse, but the result is ...... I'm afraid I can't afford it.
While thinking about it, Chenxiao was already thinking about how to put forward the conditions. After all, this trip to Qinglong Mountain must be difficult, and if you are not careful, you will be more than lucky, so this condition is ...... You must first focus on saving your life.
After a cup of tea, Chen Xiao raised his handsome and somewhat unspoken face, looked at the two people sitting above the main hall, and showed a slightly shy expression.
Ao Donghai always paid attention to Chenxiao, and when he saw this little fox looking up at him, and at the same time showing such an expression, his face couldn't help but change, his heart was full of bitterness, and he sighed secretly, I'm afraid I'm going to bleed heavily this time......
