King Huai's territory, Gathering Wind City.

Perhaps the last negotiation left a certain psychological shadow on everyone present, but this time the atmosphere is obviously much more serious. According to legends in the world, the lord of King Huai, who has been seriously ill, appeared in person and replaced King Huai's son Kai Ya to preside over the negotiation. The envoys from other territories were almost the same as before, except that no one spoke before the meeting, and in the end Lord Huai was the first to speak:

"Have you ever heard the story of the jungle tiger?"

Although everyone present vaguely knew what Lord Huai wanted to say, they all kept silent in unison.

Lord Huai Wang must be really sick. He still looks very shrewd, but his cheeks are a little too sunken. When his eyes are closed, he looks like a fox with a smile on his face:

"It is said that once upon a time there was a forest, and there was a tiger in the forest. The tiger was born different from other breeds. It was docile and humble, respectful and friendly. It looked harmless to humans and animals, and even guarded the gate of the village for everyone like a dog. So the people in the village gradually relaxed their vigilance, no matter what the elders in the village warned, they all believed that this tiger would not pose any threat to them... In the end, there was no bones left in the whole village.”

Lord Huai paused for a moment, then continued:

"A tiger is a tiger, and its human-eating nature will not change. Jungle tigers are more cunning than ordinary tigers. They will disguise themselves to make their opponents relax their vigilance, and then defeat them one by one."

After Lord Huai's words fell, the people present still remained silent. It is already obvious which territory these remarks imply: Yunyang has been helping Yongtian Kingdom guard the border of the demons in the west, and Yuxi City, where Lide is located, is helping Yunyang guard the gate. teeth, turned into a tiger coming out of the forest and began to bite people.

However, Lord Huai's attitude made the envoys from other territories somewhat displeased.

To tell a story is to tell a good story, and he has to insert a paragraph "no matter what the old man in the village warns", as if he already knew that Li De was so terrifying that he could not stay. According to the story told by Lord Huaiwang, Li De is naturally a tiger in the jungle, and Huaiwang's family is the old man who keeps warning the villagers, so the rest of the territories are all the remaining stupid villagers

But what did you do in Duke Huai's territory? He set up a trap in the capital of Lide, but ended up trapping himself; when someone came to pick him up and took away Liushi, the army in a territory didn't dare to move.

If this is considered "unique vision", then the envoys from the Sea of Clouds Territory will tell you about their plan to kill Lide a few years ago.

After a while, the envoys from the Sea of Clouds Territory convened and said:

"The lord is right. Jungle tigers and mountain wolves have always been ferocious and cunning animals. But there is a saying that a strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake, not to mention that he is not a real dragon. I believe that in the lord's words Under the leadership, we will definitely be able to get Tian Cheng back."

People can't find anything wrong with what he said, but it sounds a little bit weird.

The envoys from the two territories of Zhaoxin and Shenghe seem to be more worried, especially the envoy of Zhaoxin said bluntly:

"To be honest, what I'm more worried about is that if Tian Cheng is controlled by Yunyang, Lord Yunyang will actually control three territories. Although the war is not bigger than anyone else's territory, if Lord Yunyang is really allowed to take this 'potential' It's done, I don't know if we can stop him with our territories..."

He glanced at Lord Huai and the envoy of the sea of clouds with some guilt.

In fact, Li De's victory over Tian Cheng is not a devastating blow to Duke Huai and Yun Hai, but the problem is that it is to Xin. Zhao Xin and Sheng He are two soft persimmons near Tian Cheng, and Zhao Xin is obviously going to be softer. Once Yun Yang has a firm foothold in Tian Cheng, they will most likely be the next ones to attack.

The army of Zhaoxin was scared out of their wits by Tian Cheng's crazy people, now someone can drive those people to kill Lord Tiancheng, how terrifying are those people? No matter what, the territory of the heart is not willing to fight against such an opponent anymore. They would rather pay money to be safe and let the territory that can fight to fight.

Lord Huai Wang said:

"Don't worry. Tian Cheng's ownership is related to the disputes in the entire western part of Eternal Heaven. Not only us, there are many eyes staring at it. No one hopes that there will be another monster in the western part of Eternal Heaven that cannot be dealt with like Lingwu, including the royal family in the west." Many forces in the country hinted that we should act quickly. The power behind this cannot be carried by Yunyang."

Lord Huai put his hands on the table and said in a low voice:

"I believe Lide is also aware of this. Of course, if he intends to persist in his obsession, we will also fight for it by force. Duke Huai's territory will send out 100,000 elite troops, including 30,000 cavalry. Messengers may wish to tell us, if there are such One day, what are you going to do?"

The envoy of Luxin Territory immediately opened his mouth and said:

"We send 50,000 people, all at the command of the lord!"

The envoy of Shenghe Territory glanced at him and said helplessly:

"We will probably send 50,000 people. Plus some supplies."

Lord Huai Wang said:

"Every family has to send supplies. Shenghe's strength is even higher than that of Luxin. Isn't 50,000 people a little short?"

The envoy of Shenghe Territory replied:

"This... I have to go back and discuss it again. In short, the minimum guarantee is 50,000. The lord also knows that we are prosperous and short of people, and the army has always followed the elite route."

Lord Huai smiled, turned his gaze away from Envoy Sheng He, and looked at Envoy Lian Zhao of Yunhai.

Lian Zhao said with a smile:

"I'm sorry, my lord, our soldiers in the sea of clouds have never been assigned to other generals. However, we have also left an army of 100,000 on the land north of the sea of clouds. When the lord Huai's side moves, we will immediately go north , attacking Tiancheng's territory from both sides. We think this is the best way to cooperate, what do you think, Lord Lord?"

Lord Huai tapped his fingers on the table and replied:

"How can I trust you?"

Lian Zhao is still smiling, but this time the smile is a bit more bitter:

"It's very simple, because Tiancheng is also very important to our sea of clouds. For our own interests, we will go all out, but we can't leave our soldiers to you to lead. I believe the lord understands the key to this. Why do you need to ask me?"

Only then did Lord Huai regain his original smile and said:

"That's right, Tiancheng is very important to us. I hope Lide can be more understanding..."

Before he finished speaking, the guard who was in charge of reporting last time ran over nervously and said:

"My lord!"

Lord Huai turned his face sideways and asked:

"Has Yunyang's envoy arrived?"

The doorman said with a painful expression as if he had been constipated for three days:

"No...it's the businessman from last time...he's here again."
