The generals, counselors and others under him all had faces ashen as dirt. It was obvious that Yi Jing's words were completely ignorant of current affairs. It also happened to hit the weak spot of Yue Wang Yi Longgu.
"Hmph, City Lord Yi, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to threaten our prince?"
"City Master Yi, your Luo City is about to be destroyed. The reason why you have come to Yue Land at this moment is just to ask for help from our prince. There is a three-foot sharp sword hanging on your head. I am afraid that His Highness the King of Yue's turn is not yet in his turn. You worry about it.”
"That's right, you ignorant boy, what do you know? Your Majesty treats you with sincerity. It's already a gift from Heaven. You are so ignorant, Yi Jing, that you don't know how to praise me."
Seeing that his subordinates were "very excited." King Yi Longgu of Yue pretended to be helpful and said, "Well, everyone must not make mistakes. I believe this no matter where and when. Our old friend, Lord Yi Jing of Luo City Come here. They all come sincerely."
Yi Jing was not moved by the other harsh words at all, and chuckled, "Yes, what the King of Yue said is correct. But King of Yue, please treat me with a banquet this time. This city lord is really grateful. Since you and I are friends , we have a personal relationship. Then drinking is considered a private matter. How about we wait until we finish talking about the personal matters and then discuss the official matters."
The King of Yue exclaimed, "You are smart. He didn't want to break up with Yi Jing right now. He laughed and said, "It's easy to talk. Come, let's have a few drinks and talk about business later."
During the banquet, King Yi Longgu of Yue found an opportunity to have a private discussion with his subordinates. After returning to the banquet, his color had changed.
"City Lord Yi, you came to see me this time. I have guessed a bit about your intentions. But then again, although you and I have the intention of forming an alliance, we have never formed a formal alliance. How about that? Let's take advantage of this great opportunity, you and I are here, let's formally decide on an offensive and defensive alliance. No matter what King Yichongtian of Xingcheng does to Luo City in the future, I won't stand idly by, okay?"
Yi Jing secretly told you that you knew how to take advantage of the opportunity to reach out and said lightly, "If the King of Yue really has this intention, then it would be the best. I am afraid that the King of Yue will say this. It is out of temptation and to deliberately make me happy."
Yue King Yi Longgu's face darkened, and he really couldn't sit still and said, "Xingcheng King Yi Chongtian's army is approaching Luo City. A huge surveillance network has been formed outside the city, and they are ready to attack at any time. This is no longer a secret.
If our two families form an alliance, I have no objection, but there are a few small conditions. Brother Yi Jing, please think about it carefully before deciding whether to agree. "
Yi Jing sighed in his heart, what was supposed to come finally came, but now he finally got to the point, which was exactly what he hoped for.
He nodded in agreement and said calmly, "Your Majesty, King Yue, please give me instructions."
"Well, how dare I instruct you? Let's discuss it! If Master Yi Jing wants me to send troops, you must agree to let my king's spirit soldiers march into Luo City. From now on, no matter whether we work together to resist the enemy. Or can King Xingcheng be driven away? Luo City will be governed by us together. I am a very fair person and will never be greedy for wealth. Let’s divide one to ten, half of you and half of mine, and we will govern together. Los Angeles."
"But this matter is not a trivial matter. Don't agree happily yet. I have other conditions. For example, if you want me to send troops, all the food, grass and weapons required for sending troops will be provided by Luo City. In addition, Luo City must obtain You must pay 30 million soul coins unconditionally in advance. As compensation for our sending troops. Well, these are the main conditions. Afterwards, the king’s think tank will discuss other minor conditions with you.”
After Yi Jing waited for the other party to finish explaining the conditions, he smiled and said, "Master Yi Longgu, the King of Yue, is really a generous and heroic man. If we reverse our positions and you can agree to such conditions, then I, Yi Jing, will be the one." It’s not an exaggeration to follow you wholeheartedly. However, our city, Luo City, is not the granary of the world, let alone a city-state that others can plunder. Anyone who wants to profit from the disaster in Luo City will prove it to them. He looked ultimately wrong.”
As soon as these words came out, Yue King Yi Longgu had more than a dozen fierce generals. Everyone is not angry but is proud of himself. Someone is about to stand out from the crowd. When scolding Yi Jing, Master Huan said with a smile, "Luo City is famous all over the world for its desire for wealth. As early as more than a thousand years ago, Luo City was the granary of Wuhun Continent. As the saying goes, there is heaven above, and there is Luo City below. This is where this saying comes from. A mere thirty million soul coins and a mere hundred thousand soldiers, horses and food are just a drop in the bucket for Luo City.
In addition, it is not impossible for us to discuss the issue of garrisoning troops. The King of Yue has made it very clear just now. We do not seek to dominate Luo City, but we want to rule together with Lord Yi Jing. When co-governing, there is me among you and you among me. In other words, the two parties have formed a de facto relationship of sharing weal and woe. From now on, no matter who dares to attack the Luo City Spirit Legion, they are looking for death.
Our prince will never sit idly by and ignore this. This is equivalent to spending a lot of money to buy a safety guarantee. Lord Yijing City, this is a huge advantage. Never be dissatisfied. "
Master Huan's words were deeply appreciated by King Yi Longgu of Yue.
He looked at it with a smile and said earnestly to Yi Jing, "Brother Yi Jing, the situation is clear now. What is in front of you is your brother who is begging me, not me, who is begging you. Priority and inferiority must be determined. It’s clear. Otherwise, people will misunderstand and think that your brother Yi Jing has given me some big gift. I really don’t know what kind of hardships and efforts I have to put in the spirit army under King Yue. "
"Since the city lord cannot meet the conditions you proposed, this proposal should be invalidated."
After saying that, Yi Jing pretended to turn around and leave. Just as he was about to go out, the King of Yue shouted, "Wait a minute." Then he ordered his subordinates, "Give me the banquet and withdraw all the banquets. Go to the meeting hall." Come to discuss matters." Then he turned to Yi Jing and said, "This is not the place to talk. Master Yi, the great city lord, is coming with me."
When he arrived at the meeting hall where the King of Yue set up his residence in Shanyang City, the King of Yue seemed to be a different person. Suddenly, Da Ma Jin Dao sat on the command seat. Gao Ju stared at him, but Yi Jing could only stand with his subordinates at the bottom of the hall and listen to him.
The change in the attitude of Yue King Yi Longgu reminded Yi Jing of the words of his famous brother Ba Fengnan.
In Wuhun Continent, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. This sentence is very appropriate for now.
The King of Yue's change of face was as fast as he expected.
He had expected it, but Yue King Yi Longgu didn't understand. Yi Jing had already taken precautions against his change of attitude. And thought of coping strategies.
At this moment, after Yi Longgu, the king of Yue, glanced sideways at Yi Jing a few times, his eyes were still looking at Yi Jing eagerly. As if to see through him.
At the banquet just now, all his subordinates were in casual clothes, but now, they were all in formal clothes.
The counselors and martial spirit commanders, who were divided into civil and military ranks, stood majestically on both sides, looking very mighty.
This kind of magnificence, even in the imperial palace on Wuhun Continent, is mediocre. However, King Yi Longgu of Yue dared to do this even though he was far from the time to proclaim himself emperor. He was clearly showing off to Yi Jing.
"Come here, please bring a chair to Lord Yida first and give him a seat."
Yi Jing sat down generously, and King Yi Longgu of Yue said coldly, "City Lord Yi came to ask for help from me this time, but he was picky about the conditions I proposed. He was picky and picky. This clearly shows no sincerity at all." , I am even more unsure whether you can speak on behalf of the Luocheng Wuhun Legion. If after the troops are sent out, all the supplies of food, grass and weapons cannot be replenished, then I have worked hard in vain to make wedding clothes for you. ?”
Yi Jing said calmly, "Well, if it were some dishonest, profit-seeking people in Wuhun Continent. For example, the evil Prime Minister Dong Zhuo died in my hands. He would probably do such a disservice. It is an act of righteousness. However, I, Yi Jing, am a man and an upright man. Don’t let anyone doubt whether I would do such an unjust thing. It’s just that you, King of Yue, are devastated by your discussion. I, Yi Jing, will never talk to you again. Go down, from now on, the Luocheng Wuhun Legion will be with your legion under the command of King Yue. They are definitely not friends. A gentleman cannot break off relations with evil words. King Yue, please!"
Yi Jing's attitude was so strong that King Yue was a little unsure, and his expression changed again.
Shi Yehuan came out to smooth things over and said, "Lord City Lord, please calm down. The cooperation we are talking about this time is extraordinary. Just like the Lord City Lord wants to test the sincerity of my prince. The prince will also test your sincerity in turn. Lord City Lord, please don't. Tell me, a few words of temptation, you may believe them to be true."
These words are very powerful, like a sword that pierces the heart, forcing people to submit.
Yi Jing laughed loudly, pointed at Master Huan and said, "You are a rotten scholar, you are so ignorant, what Lord Yi Longgu, King of Yue, just said. Is that called testing? That is called humiliating."
Yi Jing's accusation can be described as righteous, well-founded and restrained, leaving the courtiers of the King of Yue sitting there speechless. Even the arrogant King of Yue had to put on a smile and said to Yi Jing, "I am indeed testing you. However, my words seemed a bit extreme. Please forgive me, Lord Yi Jing."
Okay, now that the testing is over, let’s get down to business. "
Then King Yi Longgu of Yue coughed deliberately, waved his hand, attracting the attention of the audience, and said calmly, "Since you defeated Wang Jin, marched into Luo City, and then relied on natural dangers to refuse to defend it. You defeated Dong Zhuo, the demon prime minister who was frightened by the world. After the million soul-seeking army, the reputation of Luo City's martial soul army has already spread throughout the world. But I heard that you, Ba Fengnan, and Tonkel are all called the Lord of Luo City. What do you mean? To say that Luo City does not belong to you and Yi Jing alone is true and false."
