Yan Mo let out a long breath out of the window.
Negotiate early and negotiate late. His irritability has almost reached its limit!
Since the Zerg tribe expressed its position, the forces that were not firm or neutral suddenly became friendly to Jiuyuan and rushed to Jiuyuan one after another.
But these forces haven't figured out the point until now, they even think they are helping Jiuyuan, and want to get benefits from Jiuyuan!
If it wasn't for the guide, Yan Mo would have tried to bring trouble to the east many times!
Sometimes when he gets impatient, he can't help but think that they shouldn't have messed up the Horned Clan in the Western Continent so quickly, so that the Horned Clan regards Jiuyuan as a big enemy, and they don't hesitate to go deep into the hinterland of the Eastern Continent to eliminate it Jiuyuan.
What is annoying is that other forces let them come here just like that.
If other forces had a decent resistance, even if the horned tribe wanted to deal with Jiuyuan, it would be impossible to reach the vicinity of Jiuyuan so quickly, smoothly, and without much damage.
Coupled with the faces of most of the influencers he received recently, Yan Mo originally wanted to scare the horned people who came to the Eastern Continent, and never dare to come to the Eastern Continent after beating them, even if they were all wiped out. not hesitate. But now he doesn't think so anymore, why should Jiuyuan resist all the hatred of the Horned Clan
With the force of him and Yuan Zhan and others, and his relationship with the Baijiao tribe, Jiuyuan can completely change the game with the horned tribe.
Yan Mo wiped his face with a faint sneer.
I heard that today is a big market, and the outer city square must be very lively. Although it is no longer suitable for him to appear in Jiuyuan's public places at will, he now has the willpower to change his appearance and go shopping without any problems.
But the negotiation is not over, it is a dream to go out to breathe!
Yan Mo began to envy Yuan Zhan who went to the battlefield. He knew that he would go too, and the wise behavior of staying in the rear and strategizing was really not suitable for him. No, after only persisting for three days, he was about to collapse.
"Master!" A small head popped out from the open window.
Xiao Hei rolled through the window with a basket on his back.
Yan Mo was in a better mood, and said with a smile, "Why did you come here?"
Xiao Hei untied the basket, took out a baby from inside, and put it in Yan Mo's hand, "Here, you can coax him, I'm so busy, I don't have time to take him."
Yan Mo's eyes fell on the little milk baby, the little milk baby hummed, kicked and stared vigorously with two chubby feet. You assholes, wait for me to grow up!
Xiao Hei handed over classmate Wu Xiaoguo, just like letting go of a heavy burden. Before Yan Mo could stop him, he quickly grabbed the back basket and jumped out of the window to run.
Yan Mo grabbed his son with one hand, and Xiao Hei's back collar with the other, and dragged him back.
"Be clear, what's going on? Why is Emperor Yuan here with you?" He thought that the curse witch was going to accept Wu Guo as a closed disciple, and he went to ask for his son, but the curse witch refused to give it to him. It just so happened that he was very busy during this time, seeing that someone was taking care of Wu Xiaoguo, and he was taking good care of him, so he was happy to be lazy.
Xiao Hei yelled, Yan Mo slapped his butt, be honest.
"I picked it up from my master."
"Your master doesn't know?"
Xiao Hei shook his head, his eyes rolled around.
Yan Mo narrowed his eyes, "Be honest, what do you want to do by taking Emperor Yuan out?"
Xiao Heite confessed honestly, "It's the answer that he hasn't seen Emperor Yuan yet, and he wants to."
"So you hugged Emperor Yuan and wanted to bring him to Da Da?"
Xiao Hei nodded, and then complained: "But Emperor Yuan was disobedient, I asked him to be good, but he crawled around, almost crawled into the enemy camp, and Da Da was scared to death. He took him back and threw it to me , let me bring him back, but Emperor Yuan still refuses to come back."
Yan Mo's expression cracked, "So you have taken him out for a walk?" Why didn't the curse witch tell him about his son's disappearance
The absent witch: I put a protective curse on him, whoever dares to hurt him, whoever dies, is not afraid of losing it, he will crawl back by himself.
Xiao Hei, who felt that he might have done something wrong, poked the milk doll's little face and said nothing.
Yan Mo was annoyed, picked up Wu Xiaoguo and stuffed it back to Xiao Hei, "It's yours, until you defeat the Horned Clan, you have to take care of him."
"Ah?!" This time it was Xiao Hei's turn to crack his expression, "I don't want it! I still have to fight a war. I'm so busy that I don't have time to take care of the children!"
Seven or eight-year-old little Maotou is fighting a fart! Yan Mo slapped the little black butt again.
Xiao Hei allowed his master to spank his ass, all he wanted was to push Wu Xiaoguo back to his master.
Wu Xiaoguo spit at Yan Mo, extremely angry: Are you a father? ah? Is there such an irresponsible bad father like you! I want to run away from home!
After spraying his father, he turned around and sprayed Xiao Hei: Rotten black bastard! How dare you despise the young master, just a brat like you, I used to just tear it up and tear it up and it's gone! There is a kind of war after ten years!
Xiao Hei raised his hands flat, and hurriedly said: "Master, look, he's still spitting, he's so dirty!"
Wu Xiaoguo: Wow! I am so angry! Puff puff!
Yan Mo took out a fruit from the space, peeled the skin, divided it into four parts, broke off one part and stuffed it into Xiao Hei's mouth.
Little Black's hands were sore, chewing the sweet and sour pulp in his mouth, he retracted his arms to hug the little milk baby, and took out a soft cloth from the basket to wipe the little milk baby's saliva.
Wu Xiaoguo: Bah, bah, bah! He even wiped my mouth with the cloth that was used to pad my buttocks!
Xiao Hei looked at his master pitifully, saw his master stuffing him with another piece of fruit, and started to look down at the paperwork but didn't look at him. He had no choice but to put the little milk baby into the back basket again and put it on his back.
"Master, did you really leave it to me?"
Yan Mo didn't raise his head, "Yes."
"Then I'll take him to Da Da's place."
"Ok."
"Then I will fight the enemy behind his back."
"Ok."
Xiao Hei: It's too bad, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have stolen people out just for fun!
Forget it, let's send it back to Master.
But his master seemed to know what he was thinking. When he was about to climb out of the window, he suddenly said behind him: "It's not terrible to make mistakes. Nine-member citizens, regardless of age or gender, should be brave enough to take responsibility after making mistakes." My own mistakes and responsibilities. If he can't do this, he doesn't deserve to be a Jiuyuan person, are you right, Xiao Hei?"
Xiao Hei Gudong lay down on the window sill, and after a while he said weakly: "Yes, Master."
"Go, be careful on the road, Jiuyuan is quite chaotic during this period, don't be caught and sold by the bad guys."
Xiao Hei is not worried about this. He is accompanied by an iron-backed dragon when he travels. Most people and beasts would not dare to provoke him. To catch him and threaten Master...
Xiao Hei suddenly felt that the basket behind him was a lot heavier, but he didn't quarrel with Yan Mo to keep Wu Xiaoguo behind, but he really went back to the battlefield with Wu Xiaoguo on his back.
The militant Wu Xiaoguo: For the sake of continuing to watch the fight, I will spare you, a black egg, for the time being.
Uncle Wu Xiaoguo closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
Yan Mo, whose mood has been adjusted, finally agrees to start the second round of negotiations with the Huocheng envoy.
Lamo listened in, and sat down on the chair below as if he hadn't woken up.
"That group of people really take themselves seriously." La Moling scolded lazily.
"Even you are hairy?" Yan Mo chuckled.
"Ah, I wanted to curse them a few times just now." Ever since Yan Mo occasionally used the word "Lao Tzu" and it was popularized by Yuan Zhan, this word is now one of the popular words in Jiuyuan.
Yan Mo laughed, "Cursed already?"
Lamo gave him a "you understand" look.
The waiter sent a voice, saying that the Huocheng envoy had arrived at the door.
Yan Mo raised his voice and let people in.
The lazy Rameau immediately returned to his elegant and noble princely demeanor.
The envoys of Huocheng, headed by High Priest Liuyan, had a bad face when they entered.
They came yesterday, thinking that Jiuyuan needed help, and the conditions they put forward were not too harsh, thinking that the task should be completed quickly, but they didn't expect that the priest of Jiuyuan was particularly hateful, so the first negotiation ended badly.
They privately found La Moling, who was highly valued in Jiuyuan, through the envoy of Yincheng, but this is also a cunning Firefox who was raised by Jiuyuan's water and soil, and he refused to let go when he promised him so many benefits.
Wu Chen also came, walking in a hurry, he had a lot of things to do, and it was originally Ye Xing's job to receive foreign affairs, but now Ye Xing had to focus on those "friendly trade" forces, so he really had no time to spare. Ye Xing's deputy, Hei Qi from the former Yanshan tribe, was in charge of appeasing the newcomers or those who took the initiative to seek refuge or Yuan Zhan and others took back the small tribes, and they were also very busy.
"My lord!" Wu Chen rarely called Master in front of outsiders.
After the two sides saluted briefly, they took their seats in priority.
Yan Mo sat at the top, with La Moling and Wu Chen on his left, and the Huocheng envoy and his party on his right.
Liuyan signaled to one of his side, and that person stood up and began to repeat yesterday's words again.
"We in Huocheng heard that Jiuyuan was besieged by horned people. The city lord and all the priests were very worried about the people of Jiuyuan. They did not hesitate to invite the high priest Liuyan to come to Jiuyuan with us. Weapons are unpredictable, and they can use local materials to refine bone soldiers. If Jiuyuan continues to confront them like this, I'm afraid... "
Balabala, Yan Mo lost his mind after listening.
He was looking at his apprentice Wu Chen. Something is wrong with this kid!
From his return to today, although he can see the child almost every day, on the surface the child behaves normally.
But Yan Mo felt that something was wrong with him.
The evidence is that the child didn't dare to look him in the eyes at all, as if he had done something terribly wrong, and once he found out, he, the master, would most likely not forgive him.
Maybe because of the huge mental pressure? Wu Chen's eye sockets were obviously blue, and he might not be able to sleep well at night.
What would this kid do that made him feel like he wouldn't forgive
Betray Jiuyuan? impossible.
Violating Jiuyuan's laws and regulations but being sheltered by high-level officials? It is possible.
So which law did the kid break? But if he really violated Jiuyuan's laws, why would Yuan Bing, who doesn't care about human feelings, let him go
Wu Chen probably felt that his master was looking at him, and he became a little restless.
"Cough!" La Moling, who was sitting at the bottom, reminded Yan Mo with his cough and eyes, don't forget what occasion this is, the envoy of Human Fire City is still there.
Yan Mo withdrew his eyes from sizing up (teasing) his apprentice, leaned back, and said casually, "Sorry, I didn't hear clearly just now, what conditions did you say you have, can you say it again?"
Liuyan's face was extremely ugly. As the High Priest of Huocheng, he had a high status. When did he suffer such contempt and humiliation
"I didn't expect Mr. Mo Wu to go to the Western Continent, and he came back with hearing loss. I happen to have some herbal medicine for deafness in Huocheng. If Mr. Mo Wu needs it, how about I send some?" Liu Yan's voice was gloomy.
Yan Mo smiled, "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly, can you speak louder? Hehe, I went to the Western Continent and fought with the horned tribe. My body hasn't fully recovered yet. Ah Zhan wants me to cultivate well, but when I think of the Horned Clan still ravaging our Eastern Continent, I can't rest any longer. Work hard!"
Liu Yan was depressed and called him deaf, but he actually admitted it! He snorted coldly and said, "If Lord Mo Wu has bad ears, why don't you talk to someone else? Where is the former war leader now?"
Yan Mo glanced at him, suddenly smiled, and turned to gossip to Lamo Ting: "The High Priest of Huocheng is shy by nature, and his voice is as low as a mosquito's snoring. Their city lord has a brain twitch, and even sent such a fellow to talk Can’t speak loudly enough to negotiate?”
Liuyan was furious, slapped the armrest of the chair, and stood up suddenly: "Yan Mo! Don't bully people too much!"
Yan Mo turned his head, "Oh, finally the voice is louder, I hope you will speak with this voice next time."
Liuyan looked at Yan Mo viciously and silently for a while, unwilling to suffer this kind of insult again, turned around and left, and his subordinates also left angrily.
Later, Yan Mo continued to gossip with La Moling without seeming to notice: "Fortunately, we came back early, I really didn't expect that in just half a year, the horned tribe would be able to break through the forces of the upper cities and directly enter the mainland I remember you told me that the horned tribe came ashore from the north and south coasts respectively, and their routes covered almost all the big forces. Then how did they go deep into the hinterland so quickly and gather near my Jiuyuan?"
La Moling replied: "I heard that the forces on the route have suffered heavy losses, and they are completely unable to resist the strong attack of the horned tribe."
"Oh?" Yan Mo raised his voice.
Liuyan's pace slowed down, but the two of them stopped talking.
Liuyan quickened his pace, no matter how powerful the leader and priests of Jiuyuan were, could they wipe out all the horned tribes with just two people
As long as the threat of the Horned Clan is still there, if they want to repel the Horned Clan, they have to contact other forces for help, and they don't dare to form enemies at this time. Thinking of this, Liuyan raised his head high again, it was Jiuyuan not Huocheng who was hit by the enemy at the door, and it should be Jiuyuan not them who was so anxious.
Seeing the backs of Huocheng's group disappearing outside the door, Wu Chen said to Yan Mo worriedly: "Master, if you stimulate them indifferently like this again and again, will they..."
"Do you think they will make trouble for us in Jiuyuan?" Yan Mo smiled, "Of course. Even if we treat them with enthusiasm like the sun and serve them like our ancestors, they should still make trouble. In this regard, Yuan Bing will naturally stare, you don’t have to worry too much.”
"It's good that Master has the numbers." Wu Chen panted, "Then will they ask for a third negotiation?"
This time there is no need for Yan Mo to answer, La Moling said directly: "Yes, their goal has not been achieved, no matter how many times we have ignored them, as long as we don't completely tear their faces, they will come again. If you don't believe me, you can watch it tomorrow. We don't need to specially invite him. Will ask to meet with Mo Wu again."
Yan Mo hehe, "Huocheng now hopes to reach a verbal agreement with us before the Zergs arrive."
Seeing that the apprentice didn't understand very well, Yan Mo simply told the inside story: "They are worried that we will use the Zerg race to deal with them in turn, so they want to make an illusion of an alliance before that, so that it is difficult for us to take action against them."
Wu Chen understood in seconds, and drew inferences from one instance: "They are waiting for us to fight with the Horned Clan to lose both sides, while they can maintain their strength and benefit in the future."
"That's right."
Wu Chen frowned, "Including Huocheng, there are quite a few forces who have the same idea. But we really can't offend them now, otherwise they will join hands with the horned tribe, and we Jiuyuan will be the first to suffer."
"The worst thing is, even if we don't use their strength to defeat the horned tribe, let alone how much we will lose in Jiuyuan, we can make the horned tribe a headache for the entire Eastern Continent with just one city." Defeated, we will replace Jiuyuan as the imaginary enemy of all forces in the future." La Moling said.
Wu Chen nodded, "Although the master and the leader are powerful, only a few of you are strong. The overall strength of our Jiuyuan is still much weaker than that of other established forces. The number of people can't be compared, and our new recruits are temporarily useless. I can’t get up. Our Jiuyuan’s weakness is too obvious. This time, there are advantages and disadvantages in the confrontation with the horned man. Not to mention the bad, the advantage is that it can make our soldiers and leaders grow quickly.”
"Battle feeds war. Powerful fighters can only be born in constant battles. The days of ease will only make force retreat." La Moling echoed.
"The point is that if we Jiuyuan want to win this war, and not arouse the fear of other forces, we must control it well. Master, are you and the leader planning to involve all forces in this war?"
Yan Mo was very pleased.
Fortunately, La Moling and Wu Chen have grown up well, so there is no need for him to worry about everything. On the contrary, these two can often help him check for omissions and make up for vacancies, and it is not bad to play with the envoys of the old forces what.
La Moling is lazier than him, but he has a surprisingly good view of the overall situation. This person likes to listen to historical stories most in class. He likes to chat with old people with rich life experience such as curse witches. A military figure.
Wu Chen, because of his calm personality, stability and maturity beyond his age, as well as his excellent moral character, coupled with his proficiency in common affairs, is extremely relied on by the high-level audience. Now he is almost in charge of Jiuyuan's political affairs, while Hide, who is also entrusted with important tasks, puts all the focus on the army.
Not to mention those legion chiefs, including Heishui Yingshi, the leader of the Heishui clan, and Aguda, the leader of the Dona clan, are all famous in Jiuyuan because of their military exploits.
Dashan, Mu Changming, Moshen, Kuading, Heiqi and others who were in charge of logistics matters have all grown up very well, and now they are all in charge of their own affairs, not to say they can easily contact those forces in the upper city, at least they will not embarrass Jiuyuan. Yan Mo was already very satisfied with this.
The performance of Yuan Bing, the head of the picket group, brought him even more surprises. This man, who was a little immature in terms of wrist and speech, has grown to the point where even Yuan Zhan, who is not pleasing to his eyes, has to be praised.
Now that there is ice in Jiuyuan City, there is almost no need to worry about security issues. Yuan Bing shouldered the three tasks of the security department, the police station, and the city defense construction. With the rapid increase of outsiders and new entrants in the city, he was under a lot of pressure, but he completed each task very well, never before. I've heard him cry out.
Others, such as the performance of several apprentices, are also outstanding. Even the mischievous Xiao Hei stopped being playful after he and Yuan Zhan disappeared, but practiced martial arts with Da Da and them desperately. Directly follow Da Da's army in and out of the battlefield.
Master Curse Wu, who is respected as the ancestor witch, has become Jiuyuan's pinnacle of Dinghai, and occasionally Yu Wu will come to sit.
With these two present, it would be difficult for Jiuyuan's high-level executives to make mistakes. Once there is a problem with their decision, they can be scolded to death by these two, but the cursing witch is really scolding, with a curse, while Yu Wu is good at sarcasm, and will never stop if he doesn't ridicule people so much that they want to jump into the lake to commit suicide.
In general, in the past six months, Jiuyuan's management team faced the huge and terrifying pressure from the outside world. They huddled together and gathered everyone's wisdom to overcome one difficulty after another. The growth rate was quite gratifying.
Yan Mo thought, this is the best way, so that he will spend a little longer time going out in the future, and he doesn't have to worry about Jiuyuan's high-level executives tossing himself to death.
