Chapter 182 Making a Deal
Chapter 182 Making a Deal
Gu Zhiqiu?Xiang Yang was surprised, but seeing Wang's tired expression, he finally shut up and calmed down.
The Flower City is backed by Xilan Mountain, and there are two rivers flowing in an interlaced manner outside the city, forming a natural barrier.
One is the favorable location, and the other is the result of the temporary compromise in the [-]th District. It is not surprising that the Alliance Army was hit here, but the [-]th District would never agree to give in at this time, and started a protracted war tenaciously.
The night was as black as ink, and the artillery fire from the sky was like a meteor, falling from outside the city into the city.
Within 5 minutes, the firepower of both sides had already dyed the sky red.
The night attack started suddenly and ended quickly. The fire started at 01 o'clock in the morning, and at 30:[-] at night, the two sides quieted down tacitly.
Wen Renjue was sitting in the tent at the center of the camp. There was a pile of unapproved documents piled up on the left side of the table, and a few maps spread out on the right side. In the corner of the tent, a bright floor lamp was shining.
This place is not far from the front line. Occasionally, shells are shot down nearby, and you can feel the clear vibration in the tent, not to mention the deafening sound.
Yu Gang stood tense and nervous. He was responsible for the safety of the king, and there was no room for carelessness.
Wen Renjue yawned, carelessly.In the evening, Xiang Yang said that there will be a night attack tonight, and he has already discussed with the [-]th district and asked his opinion.
What can he say?
If he can try not to join in this kind of frontal battle without getting involved, this is what he wants to do this time.
Squinting his eyes, he was awakened by a loud noise in his dream. He was stunned for a moment, but after slowly waking up, his first reaction was to shake his head.
If possible, he would like to stay in the king's residence in the seventeenth district and sleep comfortably, but this matter, if he didn't come by himself, he would be worried.
Wei Duan hadn't made a sound since he woke up, now that the artillery fire had weakened, he said in his mind: "Are you sure that Gu Zhiqiu will come to the front line?"
The owner has been fighting for a month since he arrived here, and he hasn't heard any definite news yet.
"It's no longer a matter of changing identities. Gu Zhiqiu and his gang have already started to threaten the throne. How long can Jiang Baifeng be bold?"
Wei Duan: "That may not necessarily send him out!"
"The reason why he can take the initiative now is that Gu Zhiqiu and his gang were caught off guard. No one thought that his control over the royal district has reached this point. But in terms of foundation, Jiang Baifeng is not the opponent of Gu Zhiqiu and his big family. If the matter drags on, the situation will be very bad for Jiang Baifeng, and his attitude towards Gu Zhiqiu should be very complicated, guilt, anger, sadness, guard, fear, and other emotions will prompt him to make a decision." Wen Ren Jue said every word clearly in the mind.
Wei Duan also listened carefully, "So you judge that Jiang Baifeng sent him out under the pressure of the defeat, and cut off his connection with the forces in the king's district. He also wanted to borrow our hands to see if we can get rid of Gu San. .”
"En." This sound came directly from Wen Ren Jue.
Yu Gang was standing just below. Hearing the voice, he turned his head and found that his own king was hanging his head down, not looking at him at all.
There was no third person in the tent, so he turned his head to stare at the tent mouth in doubt.
"But..." Wei Duan was even more surprised, "Why do you seem to be sure that he has come now?"
"The war of these two days." Changing to speak in his mind, Wen Renjue simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Wei Duan understood that he was still the master and didn't care about anything these two days, so he had put the details in his heart.
Silence spread in the tent again, until half an hour later, Wei Duan suddenly said: "Here we come!" Wen Renjue raised his head and looked straight at him.
The curtains of the tent were lifted, and the war had just ended completely. The sporadic artillery fire and gunfire had all disappeared now, and the tranquility of the night once again visited this land that had been baptized by the flames of war for many days.
Xiang Yang was the first to walk into the tent with a strange expression, but he was still holding the curtain of the tent with his right hand, signaling to the people behind him.
After him, another tall man with a black robe on his head bent over and walked in.
"My king." Walking to the middle, Xiang Yang knelt down.
Wen Renjue looked at the two of them at the same level, and his eyes stayed more on the man in black robe, and said casually: "Get up."
"Yes." Xiang Yang quickly stood under him, with his hands hanging beside him, looking solemn.
"What a surprise." It was Wen Renjue who spoke first, with a slightly emotional tone, his eyes fell on the chin of the man in black, and he said with a smile: "You are really here."
The invitation was sent out, but unexpectedly, people really dared to come.
Although he was waiting, he was not sure whether Gu Zhiqiu would come or not.
He had already prepared a few sets of plans, but if this path didn't work, he changed it immediately.
"Didn't you invite me?" With a cold tone, the man in black finally raised his head, revealing the lower half of his face under the light.
"How's the battle going tonight?" The man standing across from him is the top commander of the tenth district, but Wen Renjue asked him about tonight's battle very calmly.
Gu Zhiqiu seemed to be watching him through the hood, and after a long while, he said softly: "It's very lively!"
This description is full of deep meaning. Xiang Yang and the thirteenth district minister's painstaking sneak attack became lively in his mouth, which shows that there is no threat to him at all.
"I also think it's very lively." Wen Renjue agreed with his opinion, and told Yu Gang: "Sir."
After Yu Gang found out who the man in the middle of the tent was, his eyes widened and he almost fell out. He even said "ahhh" twice when he heard the Lord's order, and he reacted slowly, and hurried to the corner Move over a chair and ask someone to sit down.
Gu Zhiqiu was not too polite, walked over steadily, and sat down upright after tidying up the hem of the clothes, with his legs together, looking up at him.
There was no trace of hatred or fear in his tone, and he said very coldly: "You are the rumored co-lord of the three districts, the new king who is so mysterious that he often disappears?"
"Aha..." Wen Renjue never thought that he would have such an image in the eyes of the high-level officials in the outer district, and spread his hands helplessly, "I promise that I will fulfill the responsibility of a king."
Gu Zhiqiu didn't answer the words. He really couldn't answer the words. What position does he have to get the promise from the person in front of him?They are enemies who are fighting every day.
Ever since he received the invitation specially prepared for him, he has been wondering what the mysterious king's intentions are, and he can't escape the current situation. Interested in a visit.
He turned his head to take a look at the sky outside, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything because of the cloth covering him. When he turned around, he lost his patience, Gu Zhiqiu said directly: "Tell me about your intention."
"Oh." Wen Renjue was not angry at all, the mask only covered the right half of his face, the exposed face had a slight smile on it, and said in a nonchalant voice, "I just want to kill you."
The smile was still on his face, but what he finally spit out was killing intent.
Gu Zhiqiu only pursed his lower lip, and turned his head away in disdain, "You put in so much effort to place someone beside me to deliver the invitation to me, just to trick me into coming and kill me?"
"Otherwise." With a deeper smile, Wen Renjue said calmly: "Although this plan is stupid, you are here after all."
Gu Zhiqiu had nothing to say, but he was not in a hurry to leave, let alone a trace of panic.
Wen Renjue just stared at him like that, wantonly releasing his killing intent, then suddenly clapped his hands and laughed after a while, "Isn't this a funny joke?"
"It's not funny." Gu Zhiqiu answered this time, frowning, his expression became colder and colder.
"What about you, why did you go to the appointment?" The right hand habitually took the pen from the table, flexibly turning it between the five fingers.
"To find out if the co-lord of the three districts has come, so that he can be beheaded among thousands of troops." He said very seriously, and Gu Zhiqiu looked straight at Wen Ren Jue without fear.
Squinting his eyes, Wen Renjue lost the mood to be aggressive, and said, "Make a deal."
"I would like to hear the details." Straightening his body, Gu Zhiqiu's eyes became serious.
Wen Renjue also sat upright a little bit, without any intention of beating around the bush, and said in a deep voice: "I know that most of your power is concentrated in Qiudong Ercheng and Huacheng, give me these three cities, and I will protect them for you. "
Rao was mentally prepared, but Gu Zhiqiu was still shocked by these words, lost his composure, and said sharply: "Are you joking with me? Is this a deal?"
"Why not?" Wen Renjue was very calm, and this calm made Xiang Yang below a little ashamed.
Why didn't he know that his master had such a brazen side?
Even if he heard these words, he felt incredible.But his master still looked serious.
Not in a hurry, Wen Ren Jue continued what he said just now, and said calmly: "Gather your power to these three cities to prevent them from continuing to consume outside, if you leave them in the tenth district, can Jiang Baifeng let them go? I am different, I promise you to preserve all the systems and classes of these three royal cities."
"So?" In a hurry, Gu Zhiqiu calmed down instead, staring at the man above him with cold eyes, ready to continue listening with a good temper.
"If you want to exist in these three districts, I will set them up for you."
"I'm not going to be the chief executive of the ten districts, but to manage these three sub-cities?"
"Why bother to deceive yourself and others, the leader." The last three words dragged his tongue, and Wen Renjue's eyes were so straightforward that Gu Zhiqiu was embarrassed to continue talking about this topic.
Taking a deep breath, he said frankly and honestly: "Although there have been some conflicts between me and the king, it doesn't mean that I will betray the tenth district."
Wen Renjue completely ignored these words, and asked calmly: "If you don't betray, why did you lose the three cities under the previous month?"
"That was just a mistake. We failed to prevent you from joining forces with the thirteenth district."
Wen Ren Jue continued to take his time, "You made a mistake so that you were exiled to the front line?"
This is really poking wherever there is a wound, Xiang Yang glanced at the man below with some reluctance, even at this time, the man's aura and expression were still so indifferent and stable.
Not at all stimulated, Gu Zhiqiu calmly said: "Even if I really want to find a partner now, shouldn't I go to the more powerful thirteenth district?"
"Tsk." Wen Renjue changed his eager tone just now, and said calmly: "Even if you have to leave the tenth district as a last resort, you will try your best to preserve the capital of the tenth district, won't you?" Gu Zhiqiu didn't wait for a response , he continued in a flat voice: "Give the three cities of Qiudonghua to the thirteenth district, and this predator will have real energy to devour the tenth district. Is this what you want?"
"Giving the three cities to you is also not what I want." Gu Zhiqiu said calmly.
"If you still want to continue to fight in the tenth district, then you won't be forced out this time, Gu Zhiqiu, I believe you have the ability, your coming out itself means you give up, but you can give up You yourself, can you still give up those subordinates who follow you forever, those clansmen who are related to you by blood?"
A sentence of pressing questions touched the bottom of my heart, and Gu Zhiqiu fell silent.
No one has ever seen through this truth, but the king of the enemy area in front of him... really saw through him.
Is it sarcasm?
Wen Renjue continued to confide in his heart: "If the three cities are handed over to me, the current situation in the tenth district will turn into a stalemate. In the later stage, no matter whether Jiang Baifeng is ready to attack back or we will divide the victory, at least you I have enough time and a shell to properly arrange the forces behind me."
"Gu Zhiqiu, do you still want to stay?"
Wen Renjue didn't care about his sudden silence at all, and continued to speak with emotion: "Jiang Bofeng thinks you want to fight against him and even seize power, but I know that you just... want to leave."
With the corners of his lips raised, Wen Renjue got up and approached the chair, slowly stretched out his hand, and said softly, "Let's make a deal, I'll see you off."
